• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and information movies. Tron's buried us. Unbelievable.

• 1:22
  Speaker 3: it was it was personal. Yeah, that was personal.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was going, don't listen to those guys.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been up in his Ivory tower for too long.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I did like that you mention that he came down
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: for Hisavrey Tower just to do that show with jd
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Limberg got a commission.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Don't know where Jady Limberg was, but.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he took it day off. Yeah, it's an interesting
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: time around the office at the end of the MLB
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: network once uh MLB starts up. Yeah, it's we we fight.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: We fight every day. We fight every day. But you know, I,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: you know, for the fans at home watching this, I
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: just have a few questions or quick questions for you.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: What's with the Emmy behind you? And then the backwards
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: hat today because this is a look I have not seen.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: It looks playing was playing tennis earlier, didn't have a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: chance of shower. Yet that's the backwards had Emmy award.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I noticed your background planned right, it's just like a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: white background to some books in the distance.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Cancel what it is.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Talas background also nothing distinguishable. So I said, you know what,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have my Pacino Godfather picture in the back
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of the Emmy. Just just bruce it up because we are
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: using some video here a little bit more often. So
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I said, let's just try it out. Because your guys
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: backwards is not great. Let's get to the wild because
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: no one's given the whild that they love and you
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: want to talk about them. They look great last night,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: bounce back in a major way. Left for dead after
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Game one five two to even the series. Three points
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: for Corell to throw a Caprice off. If we had
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a quarter pole mark of the year, it would have
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: been the MVP. Two points are Matt Boldie Minnesota's got
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: New Life love the fact Tony Luff was calling Gusta
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: some the gus bus on NHL tonight while they're back
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in this baby like I got Vegas winning it, but
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't really get the Wile much of a chance
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and they looked again speaking of that word resounding last night.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the last two games, I think Vegas
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: is very surprised with the way the Minnesota while come
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: up because we've never really known what the Wild had
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: because they're injured all year and they're playing with a
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: chip on their show that they're playing very physical. The
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Vegas Golden Knights do not have a second to breathe.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, Shay Theodor had one of those games or
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: you want to crawl under the ice. Last game where
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: minus four and and nothing was going right, but that's
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: just by the pressure from Minnesota while now the second
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and third period Vegas to dominate, but Gustavson held his own.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: But I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna take a bold prediction.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think they win this round. I think Vegas
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: ends up winning. But I think I think within the
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: three years they are either gonna contend for Stanley Cup
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: or win a Stanley Cup.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: If that's not bold, you just hedge they're gonna contend.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: First thing, be final four go they.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Will they have an opportunity to win a Stanley Cup
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: in the next time.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I think that maple LEAs im optunity to win the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup the next three ERSO, how is that a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: bold prediction? Bold they're gonna win the Cup or the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: final four the next three years, say Western Conference Final?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: They will, they will win the Cup? Are you like
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: this is? Are you joking?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Said? Will they're gonna contend for a Stanley Cup? Like
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I give.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Sixty I said, they'll win a Stanley Cup in the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: next three years.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, tell go back and listen to it. For god,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I changed.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Because you wanted me to give you more. No, I said,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: they will win a Cup in the next three years.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing we're looking for. On the record,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in the next three years.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I would bet. I would take a futures bet. Brian
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Boyle came into our group chat too. He said, there
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: you go, Boiler goes, Brian Boyle goes. Can I bet
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: the futures on the wild and I'm watching them? Said
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: they're one or two pieces away, one maybe from and
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: even you could say that they have most of that
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: on the roster right now, but they're one swing away.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: They're getting all the money off their cap. This year,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: all that dead cap money, they're getting it off. They're
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: gonna take a swing. Caprice off and Boldie are and
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Eric Sinek excuse me, that line is unbelievable. You have
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: a first line. Now you get another big player. Their
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: decor is stout. They have a goalie and gust the bus.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: In three years, I would not be surprised if they
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: win a Stanley Cup. There's you, son of a bitch.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Well, the good news is Vegas is gonna win this
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: series anyway, so they're not winning like that this year.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: The Panthers fantastic performance last night, emphatic six to two.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Matthew could Chuck looked absolutely fabulous. First given more than
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: two months, he scores two goals while adding an assist.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Everyone said, well, if he's healthy, it's a different story.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You said we were sleeping on the Panthers. I called
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the Panthers win, so I wasn't sleeping on them. I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: had the Panthers in six.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But most of the Panthers are witness.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah tells you remember I remember I said Panthers in six,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Say tells backing me up. Your texts were like, oh,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: we were sleeping not we you demurz ESPN analysts all
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of them were picking the Lightning. I said, Panthers in six,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and it was an emphatic performance. I mean it was
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: great to see. Quite frankly, now, I don't think the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Panthers sweep. I don't I think this goes six. I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked the Lightning wing six to two in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: game two, but a resounding performance again for the Panthers.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I loved it. It was awesome.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: How many resoundings are you gonna get?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You get the point that they're trying to do. I'm
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: trying to do it to get a reaction to you
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and just everything. You're like, well, I got the potentially
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: win three.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Gonna get a reaction if you give me an original,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: if you give me something original, not resounding eighteen, Well.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: That might you pay attention when I said in the podcast,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: which is the Panther are gonna win the series? And
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: then you're like, oh, nobody picked him, Like, well I did.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Thanks for paying attention, Thanks for listening. What was that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: was I not paying attention? This is our first fight,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: this is their first fight. Attention to detail pour from diverse.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, go back to your predictions.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Please. You had the Lightning winning.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I was ahead. When I said we, I think I was.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I meant the NHL network, not the NLB network. Listen,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: you know more. You know more than me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Why would you text it to me the NHL and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: script It makes no sense. You're texting all talent tow
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Did you have Tampa?
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I didn't think. Sorry, I don't like it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I don't like it when mommy and daddy fight.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna this is good. I like it though,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: this is no. I love the fire. I didn't make
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: any picks.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: If I had, I would have taken Tampa for sure,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: because they had so much momentum going in. But I mean,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: that's what a Matthew Kuchuk does. He comes in and
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: plays for the first time in two and a half
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: months and completely flips a series on its ear in
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: one game.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: And that's right, that's what we got. Now, I was
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: sleeping on them, and we lest we forget this team
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and now who those where the series goes. But I
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: mean there's a lot of discussions right now and the
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: whole LTI R thing and and teams. You know, Matthew
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Kichuk have playing Game one and then Evander Kine not
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: being allowed to play Game one because of the lt
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I R stuff. So I was listening to thirty two
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: thoughts of Elliott Friedman, and there's a lot of conversation
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: right now about that because you know, the way he looks,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: it's like he's been playing for two months. So but
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: that's just credit to who he is as a player.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was good. I think Vasilevsky was dog
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: water last night. He did not have a good game whatsoever.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: And I think they just pounced on him early. And
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: you know, it's tough when you a team of that
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: pedigree and that you know that has that winning mentality
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: when they get up that you know, four goals, you
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: have a hard time coming back and you're just not
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: gonna be able to battle your way back. And I
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: just thought they did a great job there. Physical. This
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: is a good team when they're healthy and they're still
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: missing Aaron eck bladeron eckback comes back in a game.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: So I was like, why I was kind of bullish
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: on Tampa. I'm like, well, you know, the decor is
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: going to be light. They might win one or two games.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: They'll win the first two games at home, and then
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: you know, k Bott'll come back, It'll be a pretty
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: even series. Now, I'm like, I'm nervous if I'm Tampa Bay,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: because you gotta win this game. Because if ek Bad
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: comes back and he looks like a chuck, I mean,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: fuck you. You guys are in trouble right now. Resounding
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: defeat by them and an emphatic loss.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: It certainly was for gay one six to the final
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Winnipeg Jets. By the way, speaking of a commanding lead,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: there's a synonym for you. They're completely and control theer
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: series of two zero over the Winnipeg Jets. That series
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: turns to Saint Louis on Thursday.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: How how great's that series been? Though it's a two
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: nothing both, it doesn't feel like a one versus eight. No, no, no,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: like it's a great, great series. Like it's dirty, guys,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: are you know everybody's getting a little piece of skin
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: every shift. It's you know, you got the shechn brothers
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: hitting each other, running each other, trying to kill each other.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's uh, it's been a it's been my
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: favorite series. And you know, the most positive no for
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Winnipeg is Connor Helbuck had a great game last game,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: and you know, Saint Louis. I think through everything with
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: the kitchen sink, and I wouldn't be surprised if you
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: know Saint Louis goes over there and wins the next
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: two games, and then it's it's a tight series because
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: it could swing either side right now, and it's it's
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: been razor thin.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And a quick thought on the Leafs and the Senators
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: disappointed that Outawa. I mean they're able to bounce back
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and tie it up and then an over ten the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Leafs win. But you still feel this there's a lot
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of series left. I don't share your optimism. I hope
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Odawa gets back in this thing, but I think the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Leafs are gonna win the series.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Now I call seven.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: My whole my whole East prediction is just getting absolutely
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: just destroyed. I had descends, the Lightning, the Capitals and
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: the New Jersey Devils.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just getting walked like a dog because take some risks,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you gotta take some chat. Well you have to because
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: everybody's taking care of line.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: But for Toronto, listen, I think game one was horrendous,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: horrendous penalty killing by the Ottawa Senators and horrible discipline.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: They clean that up the discipline side of it. In
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: game two, but again they're penalty killed, they made no adjustments,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: they got scored it again in like twelve seconds and
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: then they just kind of listen. Five on five they've
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: been the better team, but they just you know, when
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: you kind of it just feels like one of those
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: years for it's a different Toronto Maple Leafs team than
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: years past. I think, you know, Craig Berube has really
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: got them comfortable in tight games and you could just
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: see there there's more of a comfort level in the
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Toronto Maple Leafs in those tight games than Ottawa Centers.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: And chalk that up to inexperience. I mean, they have
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: twelve guys that haven't played in the playoff series, so
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: you could just see that inexperience creeping through and it's
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: gonna be an uphill battle. But you know, my question
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: is how many Toronto Maple Leafs fans are gonna be
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: at the Canadian entire Center.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're gonna hear gole Leafs go right out of
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the game. What do you think the number is? What's capacity?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Nineteen eight something like that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'd just say, like you can give a percentage
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: like twenty percent do you think forty? Yeah, they're doing
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: like everything they can to not allow this to happen, and.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: It's virtually an impossibility.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I feel like that's such an indictment on the team,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: and like where they have the rink and if that
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: is the case, Like what do you think the league
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: should step in and make sure that you can't sell
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: those tickets away? Because it's a great question.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you dissuade them, Like, I don't
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: know how you enforce it, but I'm with you that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it's frustrating.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: If I'm an Atawi Center, it's goin to a diehard
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Sence fan.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen my team in the playoffs and also
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: like Battle Ontario and all these leaves fans around me,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Like it's frustrating, But I have no idea how you
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: enforce that.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: How do you tell what do you like? Do you
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: have a questionnaire? Your least fitner sends? People just lost?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I'm a sense fan, Sure give us great, Yeah, I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: got I don't know how you do that.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have all this ship when you're trying to
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: get a mortgage, so it's like just kind of take
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: that same give me your you know, social security or
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: social whatever social insurance number in Canada, and give me
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: your you know, give me two place of residue utility bills. Yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: place of residence to utility bills from the last two months,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: pay stubs, and then you could maybe get the game.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I guess that's true. You find it where these people live. Okay,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: this guy's a new market. No, you're not allowed to play, can't.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: It's an interesting thought.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Coaching carousel NHL regular season barely over, and also we
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: got moves being made.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: The Ducks an ails. Head coach Greg Cronin is not returning.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: The Ducks failed to make the playoffs both seasons under Cronin,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: but have a lot of good young players, obviously that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: mix Zegres among them.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Cutter go Cha.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Not long after Anaheims announced and the Rangers fire their
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: head coach, Peter Laviolette. That's why I think we all
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: kind of felt coming. It leads the Rangers the best
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: record in the league. Last year they underperformed in a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: major way. Of course, you can't fire twenty five players.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: You just fire the coach.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Rangers still have a ton of talent.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: So I asked you this, would you rather if you
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: were a head coach out there, take the job of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the Rangers' sorry New York, major media market.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: They have talent, they just underperformed.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Or would you rather be the head coach of the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Ducks obviously a smallish media market, Sunshine SoCal you can
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: grow with these young players, which when you think, is
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a more attractive job.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I listen, No matter how much turbulence here is, it's
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: the Ranger in New York. It just has to be.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: It's such an iconic building to coach in, such a
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: great legacy to be a part of. Now the teams,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't quite know if I think the
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Ducks have a young enough team that would be fun
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: to come up with. I think they're right on the
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: cusp would be doing something really good. I'm a coach
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: and strategically trying to pick a place. It could be
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: the Ducks because I don't know where the Rangers go
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: from here and what they do and and what Chris
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Sure is going to do there. But you know, for me,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: it's it's hard to turn down the Rangers that they
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: come with Colin.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And ultimately we'll see who goes this opportunity.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Sorry, did you see the Bruins? Did you see their
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: press conference with km Neely. I did not love cam Neely.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: They got skewered cam Neely and down Sweeney and cam
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Neely lost his like lost his ship, kept it calm
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: and apparently I think he pulled in one of the
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: writers into the room after because like the guy didn't
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: ask a question he liked and I'm like, are.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: You what do you what are you expecting starting to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: revoke media credentials, maybe like you're not allowed to come
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: here anymore if you asked me tough questions like that, what.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Are you expecting? The just the the ship show it
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: was this season and not take hard questions, you know.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I just saw that. I was like kind
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: of laughing because cam Neely is like, like the camp
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: counts are like, come here after the meeting.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Love Kim Nearly the actor. I'll tell you that we
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: saw Dan Biosma let.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Go, Yes, very good, uh Dan Bosma let go? And
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Seattle just one season with the Kraken Ron Francis tals
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Guy elevated team president, replacing the GMC by Jason Bottrel
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Biso want a Cup in Pittsburgh. Tremendous success with Seattle's
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: HL to me at Coachella, Valley Love Coachella.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Do you think Bosma got a raw deal here?
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what Seattle's doing. It's like they
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: have They're just it is crazy what they're doing, And
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know what direction they're trying to go. Why
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: is Bilsma the one getting kicked out and then nobody
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: else when you know, there's a lot of rumors that
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: when Biosma wasn't the higher that Ron France has wanted
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: and he didn't want to bring any of that coaching
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: staff up. So it's interesting to me that this is
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: what happens in his hand, maybe gets forced and then
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Bottrel comes in and I'm just at a loss, you know.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I think it's so tough because we compare them to
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Vegas the Golden Knight and as a you know, expansion team,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: and Vegas kind of just had their way and no
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: one really knew what they were doing in GMing and
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: how to kind of protect players. And I feel like
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Seattle just had the raw and of the deal from
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: the start and they just haven't developed an identity. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I just think there's top to bottom ownership, there's there
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: isn't a clear understanding of which direction they want to go,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and unfortunately, like you said, you the head coach is
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: typically the guy with his head on the chopping block,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: and it has been tough sledding the past three years
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: for head coaches in the NHL. You are absolutely on
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: borrowed time when you were getting brought in, because it's crazy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: These guys are getting a year to prove themselves and
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: then they're fired.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I like the point that E. J.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Roddick was making with you on NHL ton My first Ship,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: which is that Seattle's the victim of Vegas because Vegas
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: comes in as a franchise a right of the gate.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Bam winning a Stanley Cup within a few seasons of
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: his infancy at Contender. We all know the rules got
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: changed as far as towards the expansion draft what kind
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of talent you can take? But he goes, as he
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: just said, there's blood in the water, like there's sharks.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: See how they're contented it, Like what are you looking for?
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Like what kind of what's your identity? Like what is
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Crackett? So I think that's part of this
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that you said, why can't you be like those guys?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: And for Ronnie Francis, you get promoted, and Bottle will
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: generally the second time you have that kind of a job,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you improved. But I'm with you, what's the identity of
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Crackett? If I said to a number of
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: NHL teams, any sport, whatever their identity is, If I
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: say cracking like, what do you think of I'm like,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: there's really nothing that comes to mind right now.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: So it's three lines of second line players. They don't
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: have a face of the franchise yet. They have not
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: gotten one. They've kind of tried to have Joy Decord
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: maybe potentially be that and ascended to that.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: But Matdi Beneers isn't that guy they thought Matti.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Beneers isn't He isn't He isn't Yetty, I think he
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: had a down, you know. I just Jerry can't ask
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Jared McCann to be that guy. You know, Brandon Montur,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: You got these guys they need to face to the franchise.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: They maybe thought Shane Wright would be that and it
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: just hasn't panned out. He's he's developed into a second
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: third line player, but I don't think he's going to
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: be a stud that everybody thinks he's going to be
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: so yeah, it's it's again. It's just they got to
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: take a swing in free agency, take a gosh darn swing,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: and just if it works, it works, and if not,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, just fucking rebuild Cares.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, that's well said the second line players
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: who there's no stars in that team. One last thought,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia head coach Rick Tckett makes too much sense. Leave
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Vancouver former Flyer great with Jonesy, Danny Breer, you win
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the fans over, talk it to Philly, Let's go.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I can't. I cannot speak on Tacket because everybody will
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: consider it bias. But uh, I mean one winning season
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: in the past, you know, as a head coach one
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: or two, and the teams were was kind of gifted
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: to him in Vancouver in terms of everything was in
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: the right direction for him. I don't know if this
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: is the guy you bring in a Flyers. I guess
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: the history of it. I would more see him potentially
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: wanting to go to like an Anaheim, because you know,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I think he's got family, some family or his his
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: his wife are significnificant others out there, and I think
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: it's a like I said, I think Anaheim's on the
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: cut of being. If I'm a coach, I'm looking at
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: that team like, hmm, I could really step into something
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: nice for years to come because you're gonna build with
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: them versus you know, Philly again it's another team. Like,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: you know, you got Meetchkoff, You got a lot of
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: small guys. Who's the star? Is it Meetchkoff? Is it
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: can Gravis Sanhaim? You got no goaltending, You got to
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: address that. They got a lot of time to go
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: and just talk it. Want to do that and be
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: a part of that? Or does he want to maybe
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: be a part of a winning culture. And because he's
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: done that, you know, he's he's been in the playoffs
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: twice as a head coach, so I think he wants
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: to be on a team that's going to go far.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I don't think he wants to go and develop anybody
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: because he had us in Arizona and it was a
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: project sort of speak. And then he goes this year
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: and it's an absolute nightmare with the JT. Miller stuff
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: and Rutherford has no idea what he's doing coming from
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: his press conference. Nothing against him, yeah, but like that
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: press conference, if I'm a Vancouver Canucks man, I'm like, wait,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Quinn Hughes is leaving or we're getting Jack Hughes and
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Luke Qes. I'm like, what what seems like? It seems
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: like Bessent just messing with the stock market right now,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: just saying tariffs are on, tariffs are off.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: More tariffs is killing the stocks. Just what a disaster?
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, just they're on, they're off, they're on, they're off.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Hoo.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: That's what Rutherfords scene like. I was like, I came
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: out of there. I was like, I think we're we're
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: doing NHL now and as me and Brian Boyle and
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: we read like you know, they Lauren Gardner read the
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: tweet about Rutherford what he said in his comments, and
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Boiler's like, I'm so confused right now. And I was like,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. If I'm Quinn use
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: him calling, be like, get me the hell out of
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: here now. So if I would talk, I want to
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: stay there. I don't think you would.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: No, I'm with you on that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: University of Denver head coach David Carl by the way
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: geting a lot of talk Boshing University coach j pandolfha
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: former Devil of course he's at the top may list
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: as well, so who knows those guys will get the call?
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Coming up next here on NHL inscripted Brad Richardson, it
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: was an awesome interview and I can't wait to listen
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: to it.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Like all of you. It's next here in NHL and scripted.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Ladies and Gentlemen, our guest this week fifth round pick
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: to the Colorado Avalanche in two thousand and three, went
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: on to play eight hundred and sixty nine games for
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: the Avalanche, the Kings, the Canucks, the Coyotes, the Preds,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: and the Flames, and he won a Cup in LA
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: in twenty twelve. And most importantly, he was my landlord
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: when I had hives. Brad Richardson, Ladies and gentlemen.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Thanks, I was going on intro jay, Oh my god,
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: nice thanks for having me on. But yes, you did
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: have hives and you were in quarantine for about a
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: month in my guest bedroom.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: So that was a really fun time with me and
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: my daughter. We loved it. He's sweating like a pig.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: This is tal here.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: I have to interject add, no, one couldn't make it
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: for the interview, but I have to ask.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I feel like there's more to this story.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: So far we have we have landlord, daughter and hives,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: so there's got to be a little bit more to this.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking, Well, Jay k got traded here, and you
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: know he's looking for a soft, soft spot to land so,
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: you know, the good the guy that I am, you know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: I helped him out and took him in and then
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: he gets sick as a dog. He's got hives going.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know he's so he basically quarantine him in
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: our guest bedroom to keep him away from my daughter
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: so she doesn't get he doesn't get her sick and
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: all this stuff. So he was sweating, and he said
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: I was trying to sweat him out of there because
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: I kept it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Didn't want to turn the air conditioning on too cool
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: for him.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Well, he's the classic dad, you know, he's he you
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: cannot touch the thermostat and he's got that thing to
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: a body. He's got it on energy saver and he
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: just I'm in the bedroom, just leak.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: And a nice sultry seventy five.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Just down to my plums. But no, let's go back
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: to the start here a little bit. When he came
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: into the league with the Avalanche. I know't even talked
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: about it, but it's crazy. You know, when I came
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: into the league in San Jose, I had some unbelievable veterans,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: some legends of the game. And I mean, but you
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: had Joe sack Rob Blake, Brunette, Heyduke, Ian Leperier, Patrese Breese,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Bought Dan hy Note, Bob Bugner, Like how was that
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: as a young guy coming into that locker room?
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: It was?
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: It was honestly so nerve wracking, Like Joe Sackett goes
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: my IDOL favorite player. But just going back jay on that,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: like I got draft in two thousand and three, in
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: my first training camp, they signed Slane and Korea added
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: that to that mix. So my and pat and Patty
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: wat was there when it was so I literally go,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: I couldn't even.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Speak, couldn't skate.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: I was so nervous, and uh, you know it was
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: in an error where those guys were a little more
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: intimidating and not as friendly as I don't think players
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: are today. You know, everyone was, you know, it was
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: an old guys league kind of at that point, so
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: breaking in it was a little heart But I mean
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: my first year, I actually played. I got called up
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: kind of like twenty five games into the season, and
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: then after Christmas, Bobby Bugger I get a place finally,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: you know, they give you get Richie, go get a place,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: and Bobby Bogner's family goes back to Windsor. So Bobby
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Bogner's like, I'm moving in with you. I'm like, Bobby,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: you're thirty eight years old.
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: I'm twenty. You're not moving in. He's like, oh, I'm
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: coming in.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: So he moved in with me, and he'd be so
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: sorry the dogs are barking, but he'd be smoking, Like
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: no offense, Bobby, but he'd be smoking cigarettes after practice,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: and shit, I'm.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Like, what is going on in this league? So it
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: was a good eye opening to the NHL.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the NHL, Bob Bogner hacking darts a couple lefties.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: But I mean I had that with Colin White my
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: first year, like was not with his family. And I
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: don't think people realize that when you get these guys
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: like older in their career that don't want to bring
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: their families, don't want to take their kids out of school,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: and it's almost like it for these young kids. It's
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: especially for yourself. You're probably so grateful later on that
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: you had that experience because it's just like you get
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: to learn about the league from like the eyes of
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: a guy that's been through it, like the old war vet.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's a good point Jay like for me,
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: like doing that, it kind of got me more involved
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: and got me out of my like little ball. You know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: you're nervous and shy, like especially I was my first
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: you know a couple of years where you didn't want
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: to say much and Boogie like really helped me out
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: kind of get out of that mold, like it's okay
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: to be yourself, It's okay to like he kind of
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: showed me like how to have a little bit of
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: fun and go out and go for nice dinners, and
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: he like really kind of helped me out.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Him and in the Perrier Dana High Note were really
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: great with me.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Joe was great with me, but like take me out
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: for dinners and Andrew Burnette take me out for beers
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: and dinner on the road, Like you know, they didn't
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: have to invite you know, me out as kind of
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: a young twenty year old, really green rookie, but they
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: really didn't, and it kind of made me feel good.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: And you know, me and you playing together.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: We tried to do that with young guys as well,
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: I think, so I think it kind of paid it
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: forward a little bit and I learned some pretty good
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: values early on about how hard the league is and
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: but also how to have fun and balance it.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Give me, give me quickly, your best other than him
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: smoking Dart's your best Bob Bogner story.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, I mean, man, oh man, that's put me on
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: the spot.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Jay, Like, he is one of the biggest characters in hockey,
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: and he's gotta be honest and some of the stuff
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: I obviously it's like stuff.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: That you know only teammates can know.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: But like he was just he was retiring that year,
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: so he bought the windsor Spitfires his last year in
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: the league, you know.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: The Ohl team.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: So so he was like, I'm done, and he wasn't
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: playing much like Joe Quinville for some reason just kind
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: of had a distaste for him, but he didn't play much.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: So he was like on you know, the freedom retirement tour.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: So that was a tough balance for me because if
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: Bob Bugner says do something, you're gonna do it. Yeah,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: so I was probably going out a little too much,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: and you know, that's that's here, no there. But we
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: were having a lot of fun as a twenty year
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: old running around with a guy that played in the
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: league and was a captain of the Flames and had
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: a really good career.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: And now he's owning a junior team. It was kind
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: of surreal.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: And then even the next year when he brought me in,
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: he was he was I was at we were playing
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Detroit in a preseason game, and me and Brad May
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: He's like, let's go visit Boogie because he was across
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: the river and windsor So we went in and like,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: he's to see him coaching a team now and owning
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: a junior team was pretty surreal.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: We're in the dressing room.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I'm only like a year older than these guys, yea,
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: And we're like doing his speech and he's doing his thing,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: and you know, he was telling some stories that you
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: would tell, like funny junior stories, but I just there
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: was not one in particular, but I just loved, you know,
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: how he went about his business and he became you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: he went on to be a great owner of the
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: team and good angel coach and yeah, but.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you go through Colorado, you end up getting
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: dealt to Los Angeles and that's kind of where the
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: crux of your career happened. And I mean, was it
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Darryl Sutter that was kind of the the catalyst to
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: that or was it just the perfect mix of guys
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: because you know, you guys just had such a good
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: you also had a great dynamic, like the chemistry in
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: that room. You know, seeing you guys now mostly all retired,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: still hanging out, connecting and going on the reunions, it
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: is really cool to see. But was Darryl Sutter kind
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: of the guy that put it all together?
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: To be honest, like Daryl probably put the final toppings on,
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: you know, like maybe, but Terry Murray was the guy
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: there when we all got went there for two or
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: three years and then he got fired the year we
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: actually won and we just got off to a really
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: bad start. But he was kind of the guy that
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: put the foundation of defense. First Bill from Goalie out,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: we protect the house kind of thing, and that's, you know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: that was our mainstay. We didn't give up a lot
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: and he kind of instilled that in a young group
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: that we have to play defense if we want to
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: win and team first. And then you know, he didn't
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: get a lot of credit because he got fired and
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: then Daryl comes into one, but they were both did
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: They're separate things, but that was kind of the foundation,
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: I believe, and then Darrel came in and kind of
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: took us over there, took us over the edge.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Brad, I had a couple of quick things about
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: the Kings. We mentioned Darryl. I'm curious how you describe
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: his coaching style? Would that would that fly today?
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Artass?
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Can Can he get a job in today's NHL with
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: the style he's known for?
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Well, he did win the Coach of the Year what
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: two years ago? So and then got fired the year after.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean, it's coaching is crazy, you know.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: So Dan Belisma just got fired after one year in Seattle,
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: Like it's it's such a crazy job. But Darryl Sutter
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: to me, I mean, he's like a He's like a
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: grandfather to me, honestly, Like I love him more than anything.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: He's such a good person.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: But he also hate him, you know, Like he he's
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: so hard and some days you just really want to
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: fight him. Honestly, and then other days you're like, oh god,
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: you're such a great person and you give a hug.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: But he taught me a lot about digging in and
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: just kind of how to be like a man, to
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: be honest. And yeah, he knows hockey. He knows how
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: to get the best out of his players. He saw,
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: like in Calgary, he got the most out of his guys.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: L A, he got the most out of us. He
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: has he does wear on you, let's be honest, so
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: the shelf life, you know, guys like eventually you're kind
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: of like enough.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: But he does know how to get the most.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: Like his teams in Calgary when they went to the
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: finals and lost the Tampa I think it oh too.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: They had no business.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Being there, No, but they just were all characters, love
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: each other and they played the right way and they
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: were They actually pretty much won the cup, but they
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: got screwed on that no goal. But that's how his
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: teams are. They just they're gritty and he knows how
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: to gets He knows how to squeeze every every ounce
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: of juice out of him.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: And just another thing about the Kings, you were there
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: when a babyface kid named Drew Dowdy came into the league,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: they mean a fat faced kid. He wasn't the mayor
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: of Manhattan Beach just yet. But what was your what
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: was your early impression of him? And could you tell
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: right way this this kid was going to be a stud?
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: You know, yeah it was that first year I got
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: traded there and he came in as a second overall pick,
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: and I had no clue early who he was, but
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: he I found out pretty quick he was. He was
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: a little, like I said, he still has baby fat, right, So,
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: like he came from a junior situation where and he
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: played in golf where he like he didn't really eat great.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: He never thought about working out, He never did any
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: of that stuff.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: It was just natural.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: So he came in and honestly, first training camp I
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: went to hit him, like, fuck this rookie, and I
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: literally got put on my ass because he's he was
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: stronger in his skates and thicker than I thought.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: But he just developed that first year. I mean, I
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: couldn't believe how good he was.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Like he was our best defenseman at eighteen years old,
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: so and you knew we were into something special.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: But he's the best guy.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: He's the goofiest guy on the planet, never stops smiling,
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: always down for a laugh, like one of my really
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: good friends.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: And there's not too many like him left in the league.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Let's be honest.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: How when he came into the to the dressing room
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: his first year was he is he the same as
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: he was then as he is now, like just kind
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: of you know, so outspoken and and you know in
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: the media, you see Hi when he's talking about it,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: you know the last game, NOI He's like, yeah, we
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: played a shit game, but we pulled it up. Like
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: was he like that young and did it kind of
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: rub anybody the wrong way? No?
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: He really, he's never changed to me, Like he never
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: rubbed anything wrong wrong way because he was He's honest.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: But he's like so like not a I don't want
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: to say a loof because he's super smart, intelligent, but
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: like he just has his personalities like bubbly and.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: You just want to be around him. So he's like
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: so innocent, but it's hard, you know what I mean.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: He's just a guy, like fun loving, easygoing guy, like
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: he just loves life and loves laughing, and he like
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: I've never seen a guy playing hockey laughing while he's
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: playing sometimes like he's really he's really intense and petter,
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: but he loves he's always like messing around and like
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: he enjoys playing hockey. So really competitive, but like it's
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: fun to see a guy that really really smiles out there.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: When when you guys won that cup. What's your from
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: that kind of cup run and the post, you know,

  Speaker 6: About it so much. But probably the one it was
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: kind of like a weird night.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: We had a copy We had a party and like
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: just a kind of a friends and family party and
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: then we were going to this place called Beacher's Madhouse.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: It's at the Roosevelt and really cool spot back in
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: the day and we're walking in.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: We had David Beckham with.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: Us, and he was like we were just shooting the ship,
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: walking in me and him, and he doesn't They don't
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: let him in.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: No, I swear to God. So I'm like, what the
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: hell's going on?
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: We walk in like just like we're David Beckham, but
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: he gets shut down. I couldn't believe it, so that
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: I had to get David Beckham in the in the
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Beach's madhouse.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: That's nice.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: So that was like, you know, feather in my cap.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: I'm like, fucky, you know, pretty good tonight. But it
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: was it was kind of like that.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: That was a funny one, but there were so many people.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: I'm actually staying at Roosevelt tonight, so I'm a little
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: reminiscent kicking in right now.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, so when we played you guys that year,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: I'm I always waited out in the hallway before we
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: went on the ice before every period. So I'm out
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: there before we go out for the first period. So
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting there and I'm getting ready and I see
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: these two kids walk by me and they're like, hey,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: what's up. They're wearing King's jerseys, They're high five, and
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, kids, what's up. So there's nobody else
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: out there but me and the PR guy. Yeah, all
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, I see this the dad walk by it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: It's David Beckham and he goes, hey, what's up mate?
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, what's up? Are you doing?
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Dave?
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: He's like, hey, can And this is like a minute
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: before we go in the ice and the coaches are
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: about to walk out, and he's like, hey, can I
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: my kids get a picture with you? And I'm like,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: and I'm looking at the PR guy and the PR
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: guy's like kind of hands up, and I'm like, yeah,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: let's do quick, Let's do it quick. So I was
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: like sitting there, I'm like taking a picture and I'm like,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: you don't even realize. That's what's cool about the Kings
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: is that, like the celebs are such fans and like
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: these guys that are larger than life characters like Beckah
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: who was an athlete, or these die hard hockey fans
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: because of you guys.
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, you're right, that's that's a funny story. But
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: you would have got in trouble for that. I'm sure
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: if they would have stop, if Dar would have saw
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: that you would have been playing.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it was cool and obviously it built too,
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: Like there was always a strong fan base in LA obviously,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: but it's just like that momentum of us just grew
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: it now to what it is and it was really
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: cool to see.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah for sure, Jay, what uh, what's your take before
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: we continue kind on you? What's your take on the
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Kings and what they're capable of doing and what they're
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: building right now?
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: I really, I mean I think what they're building it
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: reminds me a lot of our teams from back in
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: the day. Yeah, like the stingy stingy, like if you
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: looked at them all year as a whole, not last game.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: But really they want to be They have a pretty
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: strong goaltender in Camps who we both played with.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: When he's on, he's really good.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know so.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: And then their defense is stingy and they're trying to
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: play that defense. First hound, you hound, you hound, and
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: then and then let's go when we get a chance.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: But I like the team. They got a lot of depth.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: They made some really good moves.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Like to be honest, like I talked to like some
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: of their guys when they brought Kuzmenka win.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: I'm like a man, he's a little goofy. I don't know,
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: you know, and he's.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Played really well. Yeah, he's kind of fitting perfectly with him.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't know how this series is gonna.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: I picked them to win because they had home ice
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: and they put him playing really well. All the oilers
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: a little banged up and don't love their back end.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: But you know it's gonna be a good series because
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: obviously he saw how good mcdamon and Driyce Ottle are
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: so well.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they played forty perfect minutes and then
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: you you can't play much minutes.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: And McDavid gets four points.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: There was so much day there's someone interviewed, Someone interviewed
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: what's the deno after? And he was checking McDavid most nights.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: I almost fell off my couch. He said to him,
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: He goes, you held McDavid in check for the most part.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: I'm like, he had four points. I don't know if
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: you guys know that, but.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: That was the question.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: And that's a good that was like, he actually did
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: play pretty good against him. That's the funny thing.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: You played good against someone he gets four points still, Yeah,
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: that's that's how good he is.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: If you I remember when we used to play against him,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: We're like, if he gets a point, it's like you
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: won the Stanley Cup, because you're yeah, that's like an
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: off night for him as well.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: I know that's what the reporter said, Yeah, Helman check
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: pre you play him pretty good tonight, Like I don't know,
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: he just exploded in the third and almost took the game.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I know, you gotta get to La so
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I got one more And it's more an overarching I
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: know you talked a lot about the J. T. Miller stuff,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: the feud and Van and you're hearing all this stuff
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: come out of Van now with with Rutherford talking. I mean,
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: I couldn't even understand a word he was saying in
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: that last press conference, Like do you think that's more
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: of a fall on because you know, we talked so
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: much about the players and how they you know, in
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: the locker room, But do you think it's a management
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: issue of not understanding and having a heartbeat of that
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: locker room and kind of how they mishandled that from
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: jumping it should have been shouldn't have should have been
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: addressed years ago yeah.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, Jay, I was only there for like what
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: thirty games, But it doesn't take me long to read
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: a room and know what You've.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Got a pulse, like you understand the locker room.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: And I told, like literally, I was retiring at the
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: end of the sea. And when I told what's the
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Patrick Galvin, I'm like, I was just being honest. I'm like, man,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: I have no skin in this game. I'm not Literally,
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: if you ask me to come back, I'm not coming back.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: I'm done. But I just had something's going on here.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: You need some veteran players that this is going to
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: get out of control. Yeah, straight up with them, and
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: whatever your ticket is that you can take it for sake,
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: go fuck yourself, Richie or what.
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: I don't care. But I was just being trying to
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: be honest and trying to help their group.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: And obviously it wasn't a dealt with I just don't
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: think they put enough veterans around it like to kind
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: of help, you know, say, like let's settle down here.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: Like Queen Hughes is a young captain who shouldn't be
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: dealing with this stuff, so you know he's got his
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: hands full just in a Canadian market young player trying
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: to play his game and trying to be a new captain.
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: That's not that's not for him to do.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: So I don't think they just turn him with enough
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: good people and and then just kind of got out
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: of control and once it snowballed, it was too much.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: The media gets a hold of it and it's over.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I think they didn't. The management did mess up. Yeah,
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: and they lost the number one center, which he's for
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: a guy that maybe won't ever play in the league again,
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: you know who.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Knows and now was saying Quinn he was wants to
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: play with his brothers.
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, what do you think is gonna happen?
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they went from you know, almost beating Edmonton last year,
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: you know now not now I have no like, no
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: direction where they're going to go.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so quick it happens, how quick it changes?
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just a quick one for me, Brad. I'm curious
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: you and and JD have a lot in common. Obviously
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: good friends, established careers, hives in your house. But one
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: other thing you also have in common. You are both
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: married to very talented, accomplished actresses. So I'd love to
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: hear just first of all, some of the conversations you
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: two have about your your wives, working in the biz
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: and just just the life of an actress husband.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: And the biz, the biz, the biz.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: We call it parties.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, no, it's it's good on them.
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, uh, yeah, it's that's industry is very cutthroat
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: and hard hard to be in like like like like
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: like being an athlete.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: It's it's someone's always trying to take your job.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: There's a million people that want to do it, and
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: for them to both do it for such a long
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: time and longevity really kind of sums up a career
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: for me, is.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: Can you do it over and over again consistently?
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: So, and they've both done that. They're both amazing people,
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: and we have a lot of fun together. So they're
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: fun loving and easy to be around. So yeah, I mean,
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: I don't want to pump them up too much, but yeah,
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: you know, you can't give them too much love. But no,
• 38:25

  Speaker 1: Jacobsenia, thanks so much for Brad Richards.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: He was awesome.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: So to the following sixty. I'm kicking it to j
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: D because he saw Warfare. He was raving about it.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: And I've heard some great reviews. Talk to me, what
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: do you got? Yeah, I haven't uh, I haven't seen
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: a war movie.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: I'm a I'm a big fan of war movies and
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: you know, Band of Brothers, all that stuff like I
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: I live for that, the the World War two, all
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: that Live and Color, all that stuff like three and
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: all those Netflix series. I love that. And and I
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: was I went into this with eyes open. It was
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: it's a director who is a former Navy seal and
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: he basically did it all off of a memory, all
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: off of memory of the you know, of the guys
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: that were in that platoon group. And it was just
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: amazingly shot. Uh, the way it's so intense, that the
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: pulse of it, you know, when there's like frag grenades,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: it's like you really hear the guys talking. It's just
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: shot in a way that's so unique. I've never seen
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: anything like it. And you know, my wife was sitting
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: next to me. It was like pulse pounding and it
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: does not stop. It has one of the great opening
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: scenes of any movie when they have the Franz Ferdinand
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: call on me and they're all getting ready for their
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: they're all getting ready to go get deployed, and they're
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: all just sitting there dancing in a little room and
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: you kind of get a glimpse of what it's like
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: in this, you know, you know, being in war and
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: being in these these areas, in the small simple joys
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: that you get. And I just thought it was it
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: was front to back, NonStop action and but just amazing
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: how it was shot and and and really was like
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: I was sick to my stomach a couple of times.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: The way the way they really open the book and
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: show you a lot that goes through with these these
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: missions and things like that. So I loved it. I
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: recommend it to everybody. I texted my my dad and
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: my brother right after, and I think I texted you
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: and I was like, yeah, you got to check this
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: out because it's it's very very interesting, and I feel
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: like two guys that appreciate appreciate cinematography like you guys
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: would appreciate all that stuff and appreciate the little nuances
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: things that I probably missed, But I think you'd be like, oh,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: this is just great how they did it and shot out.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: It's not the brutalist, but it's very good.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: No, I got another review for my buddy Tyler, who
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: actually texted because you got to see it something No,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Jason Nurse was all over written and directed by my
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: buddy Tyler texts right like you texted me the next
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: day's I got to see Warfare. Oh, my buddy, Jason
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Niverse is all over it so, written and directed by
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Iraq war veteran Raymondoza and Alex Garland. Garland did Civil
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: War twenty eight days later. A couple of good when
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: the Civil War came out last year was really good Warfare,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: embedding audiences with a platoon of American Navy seals on
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: a surveillance mission gone wrong in insurgent territory, A visceral
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: boots in the ground story of modern warfare and brotherhood
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: told like never before. Rave reviews coming in right now
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: for Warfare. I'm gonna go see Sinners this Saturday. I
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: can't wait. I'm accident.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm going with We're going, let's do it.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Was also excited. Tell if you've seen Sinners in, are
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: you actually going this weekend? I?
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm going this week for sure. I'm really excited
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: for Sinners. I was trying to go see it with
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: a buddy over the weekend. We didn't get around to it.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: The reviews are fantastic. I like the Michael B. Cougler combo,
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: and I think it's pretty Apparently I don't know if
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: you guys heard about this. Ryan Cougler got like some
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: sort of cool back end deal on the profits from
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: this film, Like, I a deal way to do a filmmaker.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: I'm not the best person to probably dig deep into
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: the inside baseball stuff there, but yeah, he got some
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: sort of sweetheart deal for a filmmaker. And that actually
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: kind of made me a little more motivated actually pay
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: to go see it, because you know, Ryan Cougler is
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: getting part of that money and not just the faceless
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: corporation that put it out.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: What's what's the what's the thing with with Coogler right now?
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: That every one of his movies is like, nothing lower
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: than ninety five percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Well, the movie opened forty eight million dollars to Tallis
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: with the box office and the Tomato meter at ninety
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: eight percent right now and a ninety seven percent audience score.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: It's pretty incredible when the critics rave and the audiences
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: do as well. You never really find that kind of dichotomy.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: But I don't think he's been under ninety five percent ever.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: That's pretty impressive in his movies that he's done. Yeah,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: which is pretty wild.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Ken't to check out Centers. Lou Lamarello, You and ag
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: were talking about this as well. Islanders legend at least
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: he was for a few seasons.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: He did get them in back to back playoff appearances
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: like Final four, which to me is impressive, and he
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: turned things around. They lost the eventual champion, Tail Bay
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: lighting the conference finals twenty twenty and twenty twenty one.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: But as so often happens with Lou Lamarello, he turns
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: things around, they rebuild.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: They had a peak, but they have not won a
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: playoff series since then. This past season they were a
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: five hundred team, thirty five thirty five and twelve eighty
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: two points missed the playoffs, really floundered late. We'll get
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: to Lou in a second, but what do you do
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: with this New York Islanders team?
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Patrick wasstill give.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Me the coach?
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I asked Thomas Saiky. He said, they all like wah
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: like they like him as a guy. He's Patrick Waugh.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a great coach. I don't
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: know if they have the talent to contend. The way
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: they flopped down the stretch was just awful.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: I mean it was bad.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I just think they're also a team that just
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: didn't really have any identity left and and you know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: some key injuries, and you didn't quite know where they
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: were going. They've they just the corps gotten stale. Uh
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: And I think you know, when the brock Nelson trade happened,
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: you kind of knew that, you know, they weren't selling,
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: but because they made a good push late, but it
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: was just kind of time for Lou and listen, Lose
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: a great steward of the game, and he's really done
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: some amazing things. And you know, every person that's played
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: for him has just some great stories and talks about him.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: You know, you hear all the bad stuff about you know, yeah, yeah,
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: but everybody's got a funny story about Lou. And he
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: runs it a lot like a military ship. But you know,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: I think he would love warfare. Yeah, he would love
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: warfare exactly. I more get nerve because I think what
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: John Collins is heading up the search.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you buried him on the area. Go John Collins,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: good luck with that search.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: Well, because everybody I'm walking around the network and you know,
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: my his I'm not a huge history buff and but
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not afraid to say something that I hear. So yeah,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: but there's a lot of trusted sources that were like
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: last time John Collins headed up the search, it's kind
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: of a his ass or something like, I hope he
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: does better this time, and I hope he has a
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: better look. But you know, I heard some people, you know,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: hinting at maybe Patrick Wah goes up to the GM position.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: He could do it, but it's different potentially, but it's
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: definitely it's different, I think exactly. I didn't love the
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: way they coach this year, but they're another team with
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: with a lot of mid tiered players, and they just
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: you know, you got Barzel and and but in simple
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: cough and you know in the back end you got
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: no adopts and Diangel did some good stuff. They when
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: you have goltending like that, you need to put a
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: team around it. Uh. I think their decore needs to
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: get revamped a little bit. They have some big, big, tall,
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: imposing defenders. I just think it's time to kind of
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: maybe move on from the pelches and the mayfields and
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: see what else is out there, and and then the
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: pullocks and and maybe try to just revamp the roster.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: They just need a little little touch up. And and
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: the last thing I'll say about Lou Lamorello is beards,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Jackie beards for all these players.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's unbelieve right, he's one of these guys. No officially,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: even the Yankees now finally relented after decades and all
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: the players to have facial hair, but lose that guy
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: going No, I can't do it little.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: I I more like the beard when I played, because
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: it it hinders cuts like you'll get less cut from
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: a sticker, a puck getting hit, And a lot of
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: the times it kind of helped me. So that was
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: my You know, I also look horrendous when I've shaved
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: down to the wood. But you've done it, he's done
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: a few times. You'll go, you'll go very No. No,
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: I go here like I'm you know, five o'clock. I
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: do not go to the wood ever, no chance, no,
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: no never.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised by that, considering your fanity, you actually want
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: to have a little bit of a beard cover.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, he's sassy today, folks.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: That is on the tennis. I made one chirp about
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: his emmy, it's just coming for me. It's all good.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Listen. I have to mention cal Clutterbuck all time name team.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: He also retired NHL's all time hits leader foury twenty nine.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: First off, I'm calling bullshit on that. How long have
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: they been calling hits for like Doug Harvey and Boom
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Boom Jeffrey.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Come on. But fine, if you like to say modern
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: day he was a hitting machine, I'll give him that.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: I'll give Hi Flowers seventeen seasons Wild and Islanders two
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: or ninety three points over one thousand games, and twenty
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: points in eighty one Stanley Cup playoff games. I mean,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: just an absolute grinder. Cal Clutterbuck brought it every time
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was one of those you know that line
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: of him, Suzekis and Matt Martin were great for years.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: I got kicked out of a game once because I
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: need him in the head on purpose. On the I
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: got healthy. I didn't get healthy, scratch. I had a
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: bad start to the game. I was in Dallas and
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: they benched me for a little bit, and then they
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: put me on the power play in the bumper position,
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: which is in the middle of the ice.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Love the bumper position.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, I set up, I get a scoring chance. We
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: hit the post, and I'm pissed though, because I'm like,
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: I just got benched. Lindy Ruff was kind of on
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: my ass and I'm like, I'm like this, you're putting
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: me on the power playing the bumper. She's like, I
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: don't want to be here. And then all of a sudden,
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: the puck just squirts out to Cal clutterbuoks. So I
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: go to the boards and I'm like, I'm going to
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: murder him, and he fell on his knees and I
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, oh, do I stop or just kind
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: of keep going? So it kind of slowed down, but
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: I just drove my thigh into his head and I
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: felt bad immediately, and then I got kicked out right after,
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: so I was like my night was done. Funny story.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: My wife was there, who was my girlfriend at the time,
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: with her friend and her friend. I get kicked out
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: and she's her friend like didn't watch hockey and was
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: like what happened? And Joe's like, well, you got he
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: got kicked out. He's not coming back, and she goes, well,
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: do you think I can? Do you think I can leave?
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Then my wife's like no, he paid for the tickets
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: and she's like no, but I can go right because
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: he's not playing.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: He's off stay yeah, not the second act. I'll just
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: leave now.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: So she shot by. She sat by herself the rest
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: of the game because her friend left.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: And she came.
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: So I get kicked out and then I walk out
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: of the building and my wife's like, I'm You're never
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: getting tickets from my friends again. They do that. I
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: just laughing it was just such a funny little but
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: it was on Calclutterbuck and you could there's a clip.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: On that, there's the video, so talents confirmed me.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: It hits by way, start tracking back in two thousand
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: and seven. So I'm gonna yeah, sorry, I'm gonna go
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: pibble this NHL's all time hits later. I'll just say
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: from the last fifteen years or seventeen years.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's it's too tough of a measurement, honestly. And
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: certain buildings, like certain buildings have padded stats like excellent
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: point buildings. There are buildings I'll go in, I do
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: not get a hit if I kill somebody in the
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: middle of the ice, And there's other buildings. If you
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: touch a guy with your hand, you get you know,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: eighteen hits. Yeah, so it's just not I don't I
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: don't love it. But I could probably say he was
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: one of the top guys in the NHL in the
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: past of ten years at finishing his hits. And I mean,
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: he had a great career and and you know a
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: lot of his teammates have a lot of nice things
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: to say about him, and he was very effective at
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: what he did. So you know, congrats to him in
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: retirement and hopefully the next chapter is as good as
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: this chapter was.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Amen, as we looked close this chapter of their three Stars,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: each of us giving our favorite stars so far. Tell
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: what you got? You kick us off, You're gonna go
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: the big one here? What do you got?
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: The guy I really like so far in these playoffs
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: is Kyle Connor. He's not even the best Connor on
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: his own team.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: That would probably be hellibuck.
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: But I mean, this is a guy I've always thought
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: for a while now has been kind of underrated in
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: the league. He's one of the most consistent goal scorers
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: in the league, just had a massive season, finished seventh
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: in the league and goals, seventh in the league in points,
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: was a healthy scratch at four Nations, and comes out
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: guns blazing in the first round, two games, two game
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: winning goals, making huge plays, and I just think there's
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: not enough being made of what he does for this team.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: You know, they're missing a couple of big guns up front.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: Someone has to step up, and as it's been pretty
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: much the entire season, it's Kyle Connor. He came into
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: the playoffs with five three career game winning goals in
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: the playoffs for his career. He has two this week,
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: so he's almost doubled his career total. And if they
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: wanted to make quick work of the Blues and have
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: a little rest while the stars in Avalanche duke it out,
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: Kyle Connor's gonna have to come up big.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: He's my star for the week.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Great call, Tel, It's surely he has been great for
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the Winni pick Jets so far. I'll go with Matthew
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: could Schuck two power play goals and assist his first
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: game after a two month absence. The Panthers are still
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: the defending Steleing Cup champions. They're trying to make the
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Cup off for the third straight time. Everyone talks about
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Brady could Schuck. Gives some love to Matthew could Schuck.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: He does it all out through on the ice, and
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: he's certainly starved for Florida as their first star against
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: the Lightning JD who you got?
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: It would be easy to go with the man who
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: got his first ever overtime playag goal, which is Ovechkin,
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: Which would be an easy I mean, he was a
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: beast in that game. But I gotta give a love.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: I gotta give some love because He's played two games
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: and he's been fantastic and he's it's resulted in a
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: resounding victory in both games. Anthony Stolars, who has been
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: very very good for the Toronto Maple Leafs Ottawa is
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: led at five on five in scoring chances and a
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: lot of inner slot chances and Stollars is hend and
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: on his last ten games he's been He's been the
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: guy that the Maple Leafs fans and faithful have been
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: looking for. Uh he has them poised to maybe do
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: something special and get to the second round. They're up
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: to nothing, first time in twenty one years that they're
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: two nothing in a series in the first round. So
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: this is interesting. Uh So Anthony Stillars is my pick.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: One can only hope though guy get some point. Ottiwill
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: come back in the series. We shall see.
