  Speaker 4: You mean Boboski, that's the one.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Don't know. I'll tell you what. He's been spectacular. He's
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the main reason they hear he's been amazing. But let
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: me tell you something, this is so much fun as
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: a player and all the players you have on the desk, No,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: there's nothing like a big game. By game fifty two
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: during the regular season, you play, but when you have
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a big game, there's nothing like it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: As a player, Chuck, you had a great career in
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: the NBA.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: Have you ever seen two players with a standoff to
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: stare down like we just saw this now between the
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: two goalies, And it never happened in basketball at center court.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: No, that's never happened. I mean, but like, there's so
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: much energy. I mean, because you know, get to the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Finals. It's got to be a major. But
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: obviously it's gonna suck for the team that loses. But man,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: when you get this for in the playoffs, it is
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: nothing like it. The whole city is on fire and
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you know what's at state, So that just makes it fun.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Jock, are you cold down there or do you want
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to make sure you're not surprised?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: I learned my left and to wear a T shirt.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: I made a mistake a long.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Time ago, just wearing regular clothes to a hockey game.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: One of the dumbest things I've ever did. But I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: got a T shirt on.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Now we can still see the nipples through your shirt, Chock,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: So it ain't doing nothing much for you.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: That's called muffled Brothers because way too. That's why no insulation.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Hey listen, listen, man, I fake out the road dot Cove.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Anybody fat out there, Let's go to road dot Cove.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: D Wayne. Now that you're down there, who do you
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: like in the game tonight?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I bet on Edmonton started. I mean,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I pick Edmund to win the series. I bet big
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: on him.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: I need a Game seven Edmonton, I really do.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, Chuck, as we look at Connor McDavid there warming
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: up just a second ago, I gotta ask you to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: take me back.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Game six, Sons, Bulls.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: It's an elimination game like this in game six, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you know on the other side of the court is
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Because Nick David is basically right now for hockey.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The Michael Jordan in the other situation with his team down.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: What's it like knowing that that guy's on the other
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: side of things.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Well, As a great player, you have to make sure
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the other great players don't outplay you.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: You can't beat a reason.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Like I said, when you're a great player, you have
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: to say to yourself, you know what, I got to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: beat their best player because you know he's gonna play great,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: so Connor's gonna have to play great.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Listen, the reason pathy.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Won the last game Brad Marshan with the best player
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: on the ice. He made two of the best moves.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't know he could skate like that. I'm not
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: gonna I know he was a heck of a player,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: but Convent David or Leon's Drosside have got to.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Have a game like that. I thought Esco was talking
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: earlier about role players.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Role players are gonna do their job, but in how
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: fresh to the situations, your best players have to play
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: their best I know that sounds simple, and Wayne, you
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: know this. You have to be the best player on ice,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: especially in games where the season's.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: On the line. Absolutely, we talked about that earlier.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: No question, I expect Connor to have his best game
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: in the series tonight.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: And you know what, he doesn't have to play greed,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: but what he has to do is set an example
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: by his energy. One of the most underrated aspects of
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: any sport is energy level. He just had to set
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the tone. He had to come out flying and the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: rest of the guys gonna follow. When you're a great player,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the rest of the players are gonna follow you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: You just have to set the example.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Chuck, I'm gonna go to the other side of the
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: ice in Florida and the guy who's responsible for shutting
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: down David Sasha Barkoff, who does he remind you of
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: as far as a player in the NBA who was
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: just this wet blanket defensively who just smothered the opposition
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and really didn't give him many looks throughout the course
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: of a game.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I would say, Dennis Rodman. I think Dennis was you
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: know in probably today's game.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: A lot of people talk about Draymond and Lou Dorts
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in Oklahoma City and Nie Smilt in Indiana.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: But Dennis Rodman, that dude, he reminds me of bark Off.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: He's in you. I'm so whole, even in your jock
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the whole time.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I know the kids at home don't have any idea
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: with jocksart, but let me tell you something. He was
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in your job the whole time. Man, I have a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: lot of respect. But Dennis Rodman, So I would say
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: that that guy.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Joh Today's current NBA, we see so many players that
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: their dads played the NBA previously.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Now he got pop by Jones's son, Seth Jones.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Do you ever think that we will come to the
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: situation today where a former NBA player his kids playing
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: in the National Hockey League.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Well, number one, you know, I hate Seth Jones because
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: his dad. It's the only player, the only man I
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: played against who kicked my ass.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Every single time. To this day, I have no idea.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Why so I'm gonna care my hatred, hatred before imself
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: down from his dad, pop Eye. You know what, it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: so great to see these guys. I mean obviously in
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the NBA, but self. Man's coming a great player. It's
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: great for hockey. It's great for young black kids to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: see a guy like that. But you know, I just
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: hate him because of his dad. I'm not gonna lie
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the player.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I hate his balls. Man's way to South Florida.
