difficulties. Thank you to Wes and our boy
1:12
Reno for giving us their picks of the week.
1:15
And it looks like Old Miss is going to drive this ball into
1:18
the end zone. And if they do that, there's a
1:22
very good chance this game could be over.
1:25
Here comes Chambliss held to the three.
1:29
I think we're a little slower than everybody else.
1:30
So anyways, let's get into it. I call this segment, or we call
1:36
that segment in like Flint. My lady, I've often heard that
1:40
you'd give me a warm welcome if ever we met again.
1:45
And like flan, flan. Flan All right, ladies and
1:50
gentlemen, I thought very deep, very hard on how I want to
1:54
attack this tonight. And tonight we're going to go.
2:00
My thoughts on the top defenseman in the NHL, Yeah.
2:06
I mean, Matthew Schaefer is doing things that we've never
2:08
seen before. And there's a lot of great
2:10
defenseman. And.
2:11
And right now the NHL has their leaders and I want to go through
2:17
them. And I'm going to give you where
2:20
my leaderboard should be. All right at #10 Chikrin.
2:26
I know he plays for Washington and he's one of the better
2:30
Washington players right now. Young, defensively sound and and
2:35
one of the better point guys in the NHL right now.
2:37
He has six goals and 27 No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
2:41
Fifteen goals and 17 assists defenseman.
2:45
He's having a great season right now.
2:47
He's he's been sensational. They have him at 10.
2:51
OK, so I, I disagree. I'm going to go.
2:54
This is why I think, I think Eric Carlson is #10I, I, Eric
2:59
Carlson's been a great defenseman in the NHL for a
3:02
very, very long time. I remember when Pittsburgh
3:04
traded for him. Carlson's had a great season,
3:07
but he's not scoring as many goals.
3:09
He's got four goals and 29 assists, 33 points, Still one of
3:13
the better defenseman in the NHL.
3:15
But I would go, I would flip it. I go Eric Carlson, 10, check her
3:19
in at #9 at #8 They have Josh Morrissey and another Canadian,
3:28
another Canadian player, another top defensive player right now
3:32
in the NHL for Winnipeg. No, it's interesting.
3:34
Winnipeg's having a bad year, but he's had a really, really,
3:37
really good year. He's been the best player.
3:41
Think about that. Their best player is a
3:44
defenseman right now. He's been their only good player
3:47
this year. In 30 games, I'm sorry, not 30
3:50
games. In just a few games, 41 games,
3:53
he's had four goals and 29 assists for 33 points.
3:57
He's right there at #8 I think this, this list is pretty good,
4:01
but they have at #7 Quinton Use and Quinton Use was just traded.
4:05
I think Quinton Use is a little higher than this.
4:08
They have him at #7 I would bring him up a little bit.
4:12
I now the guy that they have at #6 This is where I would put him
4:15
at #7 high skin in is one of the best defenseman in the NHL,
4:18
plays for Dallas. Dallas has a ton of talent, ton
4:22
of freaking talent. This is this is their best
4:25
defenseman, but they've got like three other defenseman on this
4:29
roster that's sensational. He's got seven goals and 29
4:32
assists and 36 points. I I would definitely put him at
4:37
#7 So that's where I would put him.
4:38
I wouldn't put him at six. They have Evan Bouchard right
4:42
now on Edmonton who has had a really, really good last two
4:45
years. They have him at #4 I bring him
4:49
down. I think Bouchard is at six right
4:53
now. Quinn Hughes would be my 4.
4:55
Bouchard would be my 6th, and I think at #5 Darren Reddish would
5:02
be there as well. So that's where I would have it.
5:05
So I kind of flipped Bouchard with Quinn Hughes.
5:07
Quinn Hughes would be at 4:00 at #3 they have Hudson, Lane Hudson
5:14
now I'd stay Lane Hudson at #3 I they have Warrensky at number #2
5:22
I think I would keep this all where they were right now.
5:24
Car #1 burwansky #2 Lane Hudson #3 now I know everybody.
5:31
Everybody would say where's Matthew Schaefer?
5:33
Matthew Schaefer right now on the on this on this list is
5:36
number 16. I would move Matthew Schaefer up
5:41
to 11 or 12. I wouldn't put him in my top ten
5:44
right now. When I was looking at the
5:45
defense and I, me and fish were talking about this over the last
5:48
couple of days, I I wouldn't put Schaefer in the top 10 yet as he
5:53
continues to grow as a player. I think he's going to get up
5:57
there in the top 10 by the end of the season.
5:58
But right now for a rookie, he's doing an unbelievable job with
6:02
29 points. I just don't think, I don't
6:04
think he's there yet. I want to mention two guys that
6:07
are outside of the top ten thing on this list too.
6:09
Darlene is one that I think I would move into my top ten and
6:12
most side are two for the Red Wings.
6:14
Is that 13 on this list? I would put him in the top. 10 I
6:16
see him over there too. So I I think the list is pretty
6:21
you know it's pretty good I I mean I would move a couple I
6:23
couldn't use is is definitely in the top five.
6:26
I don't know why they haven't, and I understand this.
6:28
This is a list of goal scoring and points and stuff like that.
6:32
But Quinn Hughes has been and I couldn't believe Vancouver
6:36
traded. I couldn't believe Vancouver
6:38
traded. That has one toxic front office.
6:40
I was shocked when they did that, but what a slam dunk going
6:45
over there to Minnesota, right? That's where.
6:47
You went Yep, we thought they were either going to trade
6:49
Caprice off this offseason. They gave him a huge.
6:50
Contract now they. Just tried for use.
6:53
Minnesota's up and coming, man. Oh yeah, Minnesota's going to be
6:56
dangerous. But Quinn Hughes is is one of
6:58
the top five defensive. I met Quinn Hughes when he was
7:01
drafted that year. He was drafted by Vancouver.
7:04
When you meet him off skates, he's not a tall man.
7:07
He's not a tall guy. I also met Jack Hughes.
7:10
I was at both Quinn Hughes and Jack Hughes is draft.
7:14
Jack has big legs. When he was drafted I met Jack.
7:18
His legs are huge like tree trunks.
7:20
Not a tall guy. He's like they say he's 6 foot.
7:22
I would say he's more like 59510 with off skate office skates.
7:27
Quinn use Quinn use is probably like 5859 office gates.
7:32
They're both very small guys. They're not tall guys, so both
7:36
sensational players. Jack is in top ten when
7:39
healthy's top ten player right now in the NHL and Quinton uses
7:43
is a top top five defenseman in the NHL and their brother,
7:47
probably the worst out of both of them is still figuring things
7:50
out. I think he eventually is going
7:52
to he's going to move up in the defensive side of the puck
7:54
because he's he's one of the one of the young talented defenseman
7:58
in the that the New Jersey Devils has.
7:59
So they're. Just stuck in a really bad
8:00
defense system. It's a really bad system and and
8:04
New Jersey is going to have a chance at McKenna in the
8:06
offseason. So New Jersey, could you imagine
8:09
McKenna and use on the same? They had Hester #1 Hughes #1.
8:13
Could you imagine that that? 'D be 3 in 10 years.
8:15
How? Sick.
8:16
That would be McKenna. So how would how would you put?
8:20
Would you put McKenna and use on the same line?
8:22
I don't know. I don't think so, I would
8:25
imagine. Would you, would you move views
8:28
to the the winger? On the power play, yeah.
8:30
But I I think you would want to like try to formalize a top 6,
8:34
like be really strong. On, you know, it's because it's
8:36
interesting. There's a lot better defenseman
8:39
than I thought they were going. You know, when I looked at this
8:41
list, I'm like, wow, there's a lot of good defenseman me and
8:44
Fish were talking about. Where do we put Matthew Shaffer?
8:48
Matthew Shaffer is definitely in the top 15.
8:50
I, I, they have him 16. He's a top 15 player.
8:53
He's been sensational, but a lot of these guys have had great
8:56
season so far and Matthew Shaffer is a young kid.
8:59
In the future, Matthew Shaffer will be a top three player.
9:02
You can tell that he's going to be, but he's not quite there
9:05
yet. I know a lot of people want to
9:07
believe that he is, but he really isn't.
9:09
I wanted to believe that he was. And then I look at this list,
9:11
I'm like, he's not anyways, all right, ladies and gentlemen,
9:16
that was in like Flynn and now off the crossbar we're losing.
9:23
They're very much alive. Old time hockey on old time
9:27
hockey you're you're listening to off the.
9:31
Crossbar bar. Off the crossbar, here's the
9:35
Japanese anime. You told me how into anime you
9:38
were in the. Brain.
9:40
So I wanted to make sure you had some anime, one Speedy.
9:43
When I wrote it into AI, it said draw a wispy mustache on Speedy
9:48
like he has in real life. And this is what they came up
9:50
with for you. Your hair is so luxurious it
9:52
goes through your helmet. In case you didn't know that in
9:55
AI hockey. Here's angry anime version right
9:58
here. Off the crossbar, guys, we have
10:01
5 different things we're going to talk about in hockey related
10:04
to New York, New Jersey, tri-state area type sports and
10:09
it's going to be in our usual whip around format.
10:11
Here we go with our first one for Off the crossbar.
10:18
All right. It started bigger than yours.
10:21
With the New York Rangers, you were just mentioning a bunch of
10:24
defenseman. Errol, my favorite one, wasn't
10:29
on that list because he's been hurt all year.
10:32
He's not top and hasn't played all that great in a while.
10:34
He's top 15. Yeah, he's definitely tough.
10:36
Well, but. Here's the thing, he's was top
10:39
three not that long ago and he's not playing top 15 because he's
10:44
hurt and he keeps getting hurt and he's now out, probably going
10:47
to be going on his second month out.
10:49
They're saying it's probably going to be a month.
10:51
He got hurt at the end of a shift, no one even saw it and he
10:54
just ended up on the IR. They saw Sturk and get run into
10:57
though by JJ Paterka who just they allowed to just crash the
11:02
crash in the all game and he looked like he'd suffered a non
11:05
contact injury. In hockey they never tell you
11:08
what it is. I'm assuming it's MCL so it
11:11
looks like it was not great. I'm assuming it's a four to six
11:14
week type of deal. But as a goalie and butterfly I
11:17
would imagine that takes a little bit longer than in other
11:20
types of positions. So Errol, when you when you
11:24
think about it, you know the Rangers are already 4th worse in
11:29
the entire Eastern Conference. Is it time to sell?
11:33
No. And I, I think that the Rangers
11:36
the game, first of all, all the teams are so close together and
11:39
the Islanders are only like 5 or 6 points ahead of the Rangers.
11:43
So the Easter conference is so very close.
11:45
It's not like the Western Conference when you have two
11:48
like 3 best teams are like just. All the same division.
11:51
Yeah, are absolutely killing everybody.
11:53
If Colorado has like 70 points already, you have you have
11:57
Dallas who has like 50 something points and then you have
12:02
Minnesota, Minnesota that has like 50 something points.
12:04
So those are the three best teams in the Western
12:06
conferencing. And and, and again, then I would
12:09
be a seller if I'm looking at, if I'm on at the tail end of the
12:13
Western Conference because then you only have like what, 5 spots
12:16
to fill And a lot of the middle mediocre Western Conference
12:20
teams are pretty damn good, especially Edmonton is going to
12:23
pick up. Edmonton is eight points behind
12:24
Minnesota. Yeah, so I think that if you
12:28
were in a Western Conference, I would sell, but in the Eastern
12:31
Conference I wouldn't. I think that the Rangers
12:33
obviously going to have to get better goaltending because they
12:36
haven't had a lot of it this year.
12:37
Now, I'm not blaming Stark and I'm blaming the defense.
12:40
I'm also blaming that the change of, you know, change of pace
12:43
you're bringing in a new coach and Sullivan, Sullivan is a is a
12:47
very well respectable coach in the NHL.
12:50
He also has a different style of defense.
12:51
He brought a different style of defense to the Rangers.
12:53
So I think it's going to take a little while and I don't know if
12:56
the Rangers have the right players to run that defense.
12:58
So I I do believe that the Rangers have enough talent to
13:02
keep afloat and I still think the Rangers could squeak in as
13:06
an eighth or seventh seed in Eastern Conference.
13:08
So am IA seller? No, as a matter of fact, I think
13:12
if I was the Rangers, I'd be more of a buyer and I expect
13:15
Drury to be a buyer at the trade deadline.
13:18
So no, I I'm a buyer. Yeah, it's you're it's kind of a
13:20
weird spot because you've seen Jonathan Quick do well as a back
13:23
of goalie for the Rangers in certain stretches during Peter
13:26
Lovie let's first season. And I think if you could trust
13:29
that in a larger sample, the Rangers could win enough.
13:32
It just yeah, the defense has not been there.
13:33
They're still trying to develop a guy like Matthew Robertson
13:36
who's looked good at times, Braden Schneider's been good,
13:38
but you don't really, you're not really trusting a lot of that
13:41
back end defense. And that's where I think it
13:43
could hurt with somebody like quick that again, you're going
13:45
to have to play in a lot higher of volume to do at this point.
13:48
And that's why I think the Rangers, I think they're in that
13:51
weird in between right now. They have good, good farm
13:53
system. They just have a really bad
13:54
player development system. And you saw Brandon, Brandon
13:57
Hoffman was a guy that was a top prospect for a while.
13:59
Now he's kind of falling out of grace with this new coaching
14:01
staff. And that's where I think the
14:03
bigger issue is, it's not as much the piece that they have.
14:07
All right, let's move on to the next one related to this because
14:10
the Rangers, they played tonight and they played another New York
14:15
team. Not this, not that close away.
14:18
It's a 5 1/2 hour drive. I made that drive many times
14:20
going to college at University of Buffalo back in the day.
14:23
This graphics now no longer accurate because now Buffalo has
14:26
won 12 of their last thirteen games.
14:30
They have been absolutely dominant this year.
14:34
The Rangers not so much as dominant.
14:37
I would say even when Schisturkin was playing well and
14:40
he plays well, they're still not winning.
14:43
They're not looking like they're a playoff team.
14:45
Even with those guys, unless they got lucky.
14:49
I just don't really know how you could look at two teams that are
14:53
further away from each other in the same state that are going in
14:56
opposite directions as much as they can be.
14:58
Errol, it looks like the Rangers, they have, they're just
15:01
starting to find the bottom. They're not there yet.
15:04
And the Sabres are, you know, they've been hanging out in that
15:06
dweller that that cellar as that cellar dweller.
15:11
The longest playoff drought in sports right now.
15:14
I was in college when they were the Presidents Cup champions
15:18
that year when they faced the Yoga Rangers and I was at that
15:23
game five that Drury. I know.
15:25
Tied up with 7.7 seconds left or they stopped, they tied it up
15:29
and then they won in overtime and it was devastating.
15:32
They beat. Hank and Yoga I I will say this,
15:36
congratulations to Tage Thompson making Team USA finally the
15:39
United States team actually made the right decision.
15:42
This guy's one of the best players in the, he's been one of
15:45
the best goal scores for Team USA for, I don't know, the last
15:48
four years. This guy's a sensational player
15:50
and he proves it year in and year out.
15:52
He's had a great year and he still has a lot more left in
15:55
him. Sabres have Darlene.
15:57
He's like you said, speedy. He's one of the top 10.
16:00
You could you put him in your top ten?
16:02
He's he's a two way, you know, two way player.
16:05
I was at his draft as well when he was drafted #1 by the Sabres.
16:08
And he's been sensational. He really has been.
16:11
This whole team. If you look at the roster,
16:13
they're starting to develop. You have Jason Tucker, Alex
16:17
talk. They, they have all these guys
16:19
all they have a tremendous amount of talent from first line
16:24
all the way to the the fourth line.
16:26
They got bangers on the fourth line.
16:27
They haven't had a good team like this in about 15 years.
16:31
I remember the teams. What Michael Pecker, remember
16:33
that team? Speedy, I don't even feel like.
16:35
I wasn't alive. Matthew bought Matthew Barnaby,
16:38
Dominique Kashik, that team that was a that was a good team with
16:43
an all around a talent talented team.
16:46
That was the last time I can remember.
16:48
It was sensational. So I, I think that the Buffalo
16:52
Sabres are only growing as a team and you see that the
16:55
Eastern Conference is wide open this year.
16:58
It's not just the teams on the top like Carolina or the
17:01
Islanders right now. It's wide open.
17:04
And I it's going to come down to the end.
17:06
So a lot of these teams are not going to be settled.
17:08
Carolina is, is obviously going to be up there with Rob
17:11
Brindamore and they, they, they're, they're always going to
17:13
be known as no goaltending. They're going to have to,
17:16
they're going to have to figure that out in the playoffs.
17:18
But Washington, who was one of the best teams in the league
17:21
last year, have fallen off. I expect them to be a lot better
17:24
in the second-half of the season.
17:25
So the Sabres are playing good hockey right now, and they have
17:29
a tremendous amount of young talent.
17:30
Yeah, the trend last year was a lot of those young teams got
17:33
finally really got good. I what made the playoffs last
17:35
year? Montreal.
17:36
Those are a lot of that ripple effect of a lot of young teams
17:38
now. It seems in like Buffalo's time
17:40
now. There's still, again, there's
17:41
still some question marks with their defense.
17:42
There's just some question marks at times with their goaltending.
17:45
But they have a lot of former #1 prospects.
17:48
It got like Owen Power was a number one pick in 2021.
17:51
They traded for Bowen Byram, who was a you were at that draft,
17:54
too. Errol, the Colorado top five
17:56
pick. And I was at a lot of drafts,
17:57
yeah. Got traded over there.
17:58
Alex Tuck was the big piece of that Jack Eichel trade and he
18:01
was a #1 prospect when he was in Minnesota.
18:03
So they definitely have a lot. Of I've seen a lot of first
18:06
round draft picks come and go out of the NHL just as fast.
18:09
Yeah, they have definitely. If they can get the goaltending,
18:11
they get the depth on defense, they could definitely do it.
18:14
The thing is with the Sabres, though, they always have this
18:15
one big streak, usually at the beginning of the year, and then
18:18
they fall off. So you just have to hope they
18:19
avoid the bad losing streak. But they're going to be in it to
18:22
the end as long as they avoid. That.
18:26
All right, let's stop making me depressed talking about, you
18:30
know, the Rangers futility and how good the team across.
18:33
I used to have to deal with all their fans how good they are
18:37
once again. Well, here's other teams to talk
18:40
about when we are going taking shots off the crossbar.
18:44
Here it is. There was a great game Errol
18:47
Highlanders fan that happened the other day.
18:50
The Islanders humiliated the Devils, who keep losing.
18:55
By the way, Speedy, you're going to have to tell me the exact
18:59
number of games that they've lost in their last 10.
19:02
They've they've lost six of the last seven since since he was
19:06
came back from injury. Which you would think would be
19:09
the opposite of what would happen, that you would think
19:11
that when your best players come back from injury that you get
19:14
better. But it appears things are
19:17
spiraling out of control in the swamps of Newark, NJ While, you
19:23
know, Matthew Shaffer, your buddy Bo Horvath, Yep, seems to
19:28
be doing pretty well out on the island.
19:32
Oh, yeah, I will say this. The Islanders are playing great
19:35
hockey. They're getting offense.
19:37
Remember, they lost Kyle Palmeri, who was one of their
19:39
leading goal scorers early in the season, tearing his ACL and
19:44
how he tore his ACL, you probably see one of the greatest
19:46
passes you'll ever see at the end of it's probably his tenure
19:52
with the Islanders because I don't know if he'll be back next
19:54
year. When you tear your ACL at the
19:56
age that Kyle, Kyle Palmieri is, he's Kyle Palmieri is like 33
20:01
years old. So I don't know how much time he
20:03
has left. So to tear your ACL, ACL at that
20:07
type of at his age, I don't know how much hockey is going to have
20:10
left. But losing him, Beau Horvitz
20:12
taking a step forward and Lou Lamarel.
20:14
Oh, looks like he's a genius because he made that trade.
20:16
A lot of Islander fans were questioning it.
20:18
They gave up prospects. They gave away draft picks.
20:21
Well, guess what? That never turned to anything.
20:23
Vancouver's falling off in the Islanders.
20:25
Bo Horvat's one of the lead goal scorers right now in the NHL.
20:29
He's playing the best hockey he's played with the Islanders.
20:32
You have Matthew Schaefer, who's one of the best young, talented
20:34
players we've seen come out since Sidney Crosby or even
20:38
Connor McDavid. It's been unbelievable what
20:41
Matthew Schaefer is doing, breaking defenseman records.
20:44
I mean, it, it, it's been so fun to watch.
20:46
But Matthew Barzell's having a great year.
20:49
They're getting a lot of goal scoring.
20:51
They're they're third line Sezikis, they're Druin, they
20:54
brought in, they're getting the kid Hyman Hyman who they traded,
20:59
traded for with the part of the Montreal trade to get to 2 first
21:02
round draft picks. So I mean, they're getting
21:05
they're getting goal scoring in many different areas.
21:07
And Patrick Wah, where a lot of people were questioning Patrick
21:10
Wah and his development of youngsters.
21:12
Well, guess what, Patrick Wah has been sensational.
21:15
He's going to be up for coach of the year.
21:17
There's no question that he is. And when, when you have a new
21:21
GMA young GM come into place and, and not pick his own guy
21:25
and not go after his own coach and sit and sit on Patrick Wah
21:29
and give Patrick Wah an opportunity says a lot about
21:31
what he thinks about Patrick Wah.
21:33
Patrick Wah is one of the greatest goalies of all time, if
21:35
not the greatest. And, and the way he's coached
21:38
his team has been sensational. I, I, there's really nothing to
21:40
say by the way. So Roki just came back, shut out
21:43
the Devil's 9 to nothing. If Sorokin is playing at a high
21:46
level, I I don't think this team has many weaknesses and their
21:50
defense is it went from one of the worst defenses in the league
21:54
to one of the top 10 defenses in the NHL right now.
21:57
So it's been sensational to watch.
21:59
Yeah, I was a skeptical with you with Patrick Wah at the time,
22:01
especially what happened last the end of last year with
22:03
Anthony declare too. It looked like he was losing
22:05
that team. Then all of a sudden now you're
22:06
looking at guys that are troubled past too look at.
22:10
All three of these guys. Declare Drew Anne and Tony
22:13
D'Angelo, all three guys with troubled pasts and getting him
22:17
to buy into this system, getting to buy into a lot of these young
22:19
players. You mentioned Hyman, Hyman, 13
22:21
goals already this year. It was part of that young
22:23
Montreal. Team they lost tonight.
22:25
Yeah, and Horvat, which sometimes he's had a lot of
22:28
assists and face offs, but sometimes he's had some iffy
22:30
goal scoring years with the Islanders since he's come over
22:32
there 21 goals already. This year is.
22:34
Insane. And you mentioned.
22:35
He has a chance to score 40 this.
22:37
Year and Schaefer like already playing like a elite defenseman
22:40
at such a young age. It's just it's changed a lot
22:43
with this Islanders team, what it's supposed to be.
22:44
The Devils, on the other hand, they're going to the opposite
22:46
direction. I think it's because of Jack
22:48
Hughes's injury. You could see how one player can
22:51
change everything. He's a marketable player, but
22:54
the guy can't stay healthy. If you look at Jack Hughes, his
22:56
career since he's come into the NHL, even playing two Team USA
22:59
hockey, they I remember talking to John Van Biesburg and he said
23:02
that Jack Hughes is one of the greatest young players we've
23:05
seen come out of United States hockey.
23:06
But he said he's got to stay healthy and and the problem with
23:10
Jack Hughes since he's coming to the league, think about it, he's
23:12
been a league for how long? Five years.
23:14
This is year 6 for him. Now, all right, so six years
23:16
he's been injured, 3 out of the six.
23:18
That is alarming. And when the Devils put a lot of
23:21
money into him and they've, like you said, they've got a lot load
23:25
of draft talent and draft stock of young players that have not
23:29
developed the way we would have thought they were going to
23:31
develop. Everybody thought that the
23:33
Devils were going to be a top three in the Eastern team Easter
23:36
Conference this year again. And what happens, Jack Hughes
23:39
goes down, could be out a significant portion of the
23:42
season, and they're falling down and they're one of the worst
23:44
teams in the NHL, right? Now that's what I was going to
23:46
get to with the young prospect development, especially on the
23:48
defensive side. Luke, who's like you were saying
23:49
before, it has not developed as well as he should have some own.
23:52
Pandemic the other one too and #2 overall pick in that 2022
23:55
draft has not developed at all. You mentioned like injury
23:58
unlock. They've actually been lucky with
23:59
Dougie Hamilton staying healthy, which has been a problem for
24:02
them in years. Past and now they just can't get
24:04
a lot from him. He's just aging and their
24:06
offense, they're not getting depth pieces either with that
24:08
offense. It's really only Hughes brat.
24:10
Jasper Brats had a nice year and he sure, and that's really it.
24:13
All right, so you're talking about points, so let's talk and
24:17
take a look. We're around the middle of the
24:18
season right now for most of the guys.
24:21
So what are what are the point scores looking like throughout
24:25
the league? Well, I'm going to share my
24:27
screen real quick and we're going to put it up and you're
24:30
going to take a look with me right now at it.
24:34
And oh boy, are we having an interesting one.
24:38
In fact, you know what? I'm just going to make this back
24:40
the old school way, close it and bring it back up this way.
24:46
Well, we know Connor Mcdavid's up there.
24:50
So Connor McDavid, of course, you know, is, I mean, he's been
24:54
incredible his entire. How about dry side?
24:56
Surprising, but take a look at that.
24:58
Take a look at him and McKinnon at the the clip that they're
25:01
scoring at is out of control. It's over a point and 1/2 per
25:05
game, right? If you're at 42 games and you're
25:08
at 7484 points is 2 points per game.
25:11
So the two of them right now are at like 1.61.7 points per game,
25:17
which is just an absurd clip. We haven't really seen that in a
25:20
long time. McKinnon has 35 goals at this
25:25
point. Celebrini, second year, 24
25:29
goals, 43 assists for the Sharks.
25:32
Obviously a big part of the reason why they're so successful
25:35
and turning their fortunes around.
25:36
Kucherov keep doing it. He's just still doing it.
25:39
He's killing people. He's played fewer games. 61
25:43
points. Dry Sidle 60.
25:46
I mean, if you got, if you're playing with could.
25:48
You imagine that you have two of the top five players in the
25:52
league. How weird is?
25:53
That and you get to center ice them too.
25:55
Yeah, which is just sick. Just sick.
25:57
It's just disgusting. It is ranting in playing on the
26:01
wing this year. 59 just looking down.
26:04
Dallas has three guys from 6 to 10 with Robertson and Johnston.
26:09
I just want to bet you because it's a coincidence, 6 and seven.
26:11
The Carolina Hurricanes don't look very good based on that.
26:15
I think we all kind of knew that wasn't a great move at the time.
26:19
So let's take the first defenseman, of course, is Makar.
26:23
12 goals. Could you imagine?
26:25
Could you imagine ranting in still on Colorado?
26:28
Could you imagine that? How sick that would be.
26:32
They just didn't have the money, you know?
26:33
It's crazy. And then he goes to Carolina,
26:35
and Carolina's going to afford them.
26:37
So they, they and they trained. Nature's to get him and nature.
26:40
'S a top 10. Yeah, it's it's ridiculous.
26:42
So they literally gave up the 6th and 7th point getters and
26:46
what do they get out of it? Speedy.
26:48
Absolutely nothing. That's an embarrassment.
26:51
The GM really should get fired for stuff like that.
26:53
I'll tell you who's a genius. Joe Stakik.
26:56
And let's take a look at the goalies right here.
26:59
Goaltending. So goals against average.
27:03
I'm sure you're not surprised that both Colorado goaltenders
27:07
are at the top of this. Not surprised.
27:09
And #4 next Colorado goaltender. Right.
27:12
You know it. If we go down, we have a bunch
27:15
of backups here, but we got Vasilevsky.
27:19
I mean, I don't know how old he is at this.
27:20
What a comeback he's been. Doing it forever, What a
27:22
comeback. He came back from having a
27:24
couple of down seasons. Look at him, 2.34914 save
27:28
percentage as a shut out this year.
27:31
Good for him. Tampa Bay Lightning fans, I, I,
27:34
I really struggled with them when I lived down there.
27:37
They obviously faced the Rangers and destroyed the Rangers.
27:39
It was at that game where they got murdered by like 6 goals.
27:43
It felt like they're that they might not be good baseball fans.
27:48
They're surprisingly good hockey fans in Tampa.
27:51
I got to give them credit for that.
27:54
So take a look at the rest of this.
27:55
You got Shusterkin, who's not going to be playing.
27:57
He was doing right there, but right behind Sarokin for the
28:01
Islanders. They were kind of identical in
28:04
numbers. Sarokin a little bit better, say
28:06
a percentage then Shusterkin. Do you want to take a look at
28:10
any of the guys that are really struggling?
28:12
Or we could say that for another.
28:13
Time. No, we don't need to.
28:14
We don't really need to look at. Anything the league in shutouts,
28:17
though, is Sorokin. Yeah, and I think we needed to
28:20
mention that. Also, Walsted in Minnesota.
28:23
They're having a fantastic year. Bob Roski, I'm sure no one's
28:26
surprised. And Gustafson and Hofer.
28:29
I will I will say that for all you island defense, Sorokin is
28:32
is finally coming back to normal.
28:35
Sorokin had that back surgery if people forget two years ago and
28:39
it takes about two years to get back to your normal self.
28:43
Now Sorokin is still not there yet, but if we could get
28:46
Sorokin, if the Islanders can get Sorokin, Surokin even at 80%
28:51
for the rest of his career, the Islanders have a chance to win
28:53
Stanley Cups and, and they have a great goaltender.
28:56
And I'm not saying Susterkin's not a good goaltender.
28:58
I just don't know if he's worth 11 and a half million dollars.
29:01
The Islanders paid Surokin, what was it, 9 million and, and, and
29:06
Chesterkin's making like 2 and a half million more.
29:09
And, and to me they're almost identical goal tenders.
29:12
So the Islanders got a steal for Surokin and the the Rangers have
29:17
the highest paid goalie in the NHL.
29:19
They're making He's making $2,000,000, more even than
29:21
Connor Hellebach, who just won the Hart Trophy last year.
29:25
It's a lot of money. It's a lot of money that the
29:27
Rangers have invested into a guy that might not play for another
29:30
four to six weeks. So, and that's not his fault.
29:33
I'm not blaming him, but it's it's kind of scary and alarming
29:37
to the Rangers, especially if they think or James Dolan thinks
29:41
that the guy that's going to save the organization is the guy
29:45
that I mean, has drafted and honestly wrong and honestly
29:51
hasn't developed court, you know, players or even picked the
29:54
right coaches over the last couple of years.
29:56
I, I like Peter Laviolette. I would not have fired Peter
29:58
Laviolette, but some of the things that this organization
30:01
has done has you shaking your head.
30:04
They're yeah, they're like a big market team.
30:06
That's just they, I'm not saying they're they're dysfunctional or
30:09
like terribly wrong, but they're like for a team that has all
30:12
this hype, all this leverage, and they just do some strange
30:15
things like the Leafs do like a couple other teams like.
30:17
That. Yeah, Speaking of shaking your
30:20
head, ladies and gentlemen, this story is just alarming to me.
30:24
ESPN reports that the Hawks have traded Trey Young to the Wizards
30:28
for forward Corey Kispert and veteran guard CJ McCollum.
30:34
Reports mentioned that Trey Young telling the Hawks, the
30:36
organization, and the organization that the Wizards
30:40
were his preferred trade destination despite them being
30:44
the second worst team in the Eastern Conference.
30:46
That's because nobody wanted this guy.
30:48
McCollum is on the last year of his contract worth about 30.5.
30:53
While Young has a player option after the season worth about 49
30:57
million. McCollum is averaging 18.8
31:00
points per game, 3.5 rebounds per game, 3.6 assists per game
31:05
in 35 games this season for the Wizards.
31:08
If Young OPS into his contract, the Wizards will owe him $95
31:13
million over the next two seasons.
31:16
Reports say that the Hawks also traded traded Young with hopes
31:21
of making another big trade at the trade deadline, with Anthony
31:25
Davis being their main target. Young is averaging 19.3 points
31:30
per game, 1.5 rebounds per game, 8.9 assists per game, but has
31:35
only played 10 games this season after missing time with an MCL
31:40
spring. Reports say no other team really
31:44
showed interest in Young, no duh, leading him to be traded in
31:49
what amounts to mostly a salary dump or a for a former All Star.
31:55
Young has still been effective offensively as recently as the
32:01
last as last season when he led the league in assists per game.
32:06
But his defense and lack of effort has led the Hawks, who
32:11
once traded Luka Doncic for him at draft at the draft night, to
32:16
move on from their former point guard.
32:21
Trey Young is not a likable person.
32:24
He's not. And nobody would have thought
32:26
that the Knicks would make a move for him because we all know
32:28
that the Knicks fans can't stand them.
32:30
Madison's great guard and couldn't stand them.
32:32
We remember the time when quite a few players have said their
32:37
thoughts to Trey Young when he gave the finger, really gave his
32:40
finger to the New York Knick fans.
32:43
I, I don't believe there's a lot of teams interested.
32:45
I was very surprised Miami wasn't interested in them.
32:48
Miami could use another superstar.
32:49
Pat Riley's looking for another guy to bring in.
32:52
They wouldn't have given up much to get him.
32:54
Maybe Tyler Hero for a guy like Trey Young.
32:57
And then you got to, you put them with, you know, a couple of
33:01
a couple of players, couple of bigs that they have over there
33:04
in Miami and they could maybe be a contending team in the Eastern
33:08
Conference or maybe a top six, top seven team in the Eastern
33:12
Conference. I, I just here's the thing.
33:15
Trey Young still has a lot left in him.
33:18
He's 27 years old. A lot of people tried to compare
33:20
him to Steph Curry when he came into the league.
33:22
His ability to shoot and, and, and, and dribble and, and
33:26
control the, the pace of the game.
33:27
I just think that the problem with him is he's got a big
33:31
mouth. He says a lot of things on and
33:33
off the court that makes people wonder if he's all about the
33:36
team and he's not about himself. You know why Washington was the
33:39
number one target for him? Because he knows he's going to
33:42
be the number one player on that crappy team.
33:44
He knows that he's going to get the ball.
33:46
He's going to shoot 35 times every single game and be the
33:51
prolific 40 point goal, you know, scorer that he wants to
33:54
be. He wants to make that Max money
33:56
and he only has two years left on his deal.
33:59
He'll be 29 years old when he becomes a free agent and he's
34:02
all about the money. I never liked Trey Young when he
34:04
came out of the draft. I couldn't believe that the
34:09
Hawks traded trade, you know, for Trey Young to give up Luka
34:13
Doncic. I remember the Hawks were
34:15
sitting at #5 and they, they traded the rights for Luka
34:19
Doncic for Trey Young. It made absolutely no sense.
34:22
Lukas become one of the top three players in the league.
34:24
You can see what he Luka was traded last year for a bowl of
34:28
bags. Think about it.
34:29
The two guys that were traded for each other were traded for a
34:32
bowl of, you know, a bag of balls.
34:34
That's what they were. I cuz people were shocked when
34:37
Luka had to trade deadline was traded last year and traded for
34:40
nothing because, you know, the Dallas Mavericks are a stupid
34:43
organization and the same thing with the Hawks.
34:46
The Hawks traded him for CJ McCollum, who's an old CJ
34:49
McCollum. He's still a good player, but
34:51
McCollum is like a off the bench type of player.
34:53
He's averaging 18 points because he's playing as a starter on a
34:57
Hawks team that's not that good. So I, I, I, I mean I'm not a for
35:02
Wizards team that's not that good.
35:03
So I, he was like, he was a guy that was shooting like like 2020
35:08
something times a game. So he's going to give you 18
35:11
points. I, I, I, I look at a guy like
35:13
Trey Young, he's going to give you probably 30 to 35 points a
35:17
game because he's going to be chunking up threes and doing
35:20
what Trey Young does best. Now.
35:21
Is he going to give you more wins?
35:23
100% This doesn't make any sense for the Hawks.
35:26
I mean, not for the Hawks, for the Wizards, because the Wizards
35:29
right now has they're, they're sitting there if they're at
35:34
8:00, if they're drafting in the top 8, they're protected with
35:38
that pick. If they fall out of the top
35:40
eight, that pick goes to the Knicks.
35:43
And now you add Trey Young to your roster, that's going to
35:47
make you now the estimating number that they're going to win
35:51
in total. Annie, Trey Young, the experts
35:54
are saying between four and five games, that four or five games
35:58
could put them out of the top 8. Think about that.
36:02
There are a lot of bad teams in the Eastern and Western
36:04
Conference team. You know, in the Eastern and
36:06
Western Conference, if you look at it from top to bottom and it
36:10
like it, like you were saying fish, the Wizards are sitting
36:13
like 3rd or 4th. But in the Western Conference
36:16
there's about four bad teams in it.
36:18
So 4 bad teams in a Western Conference and the other teams a
36:21
little bit ahead that are sitting there on top of have
36:24
maybe two or three more wins. I, I mean, think about it this
36:28
way. Trey Young, that trade for Trey
36:32
Young might have made the Wizards better, but might put
36:35
the Wizards in a really, really bad position because this draft,
36:39
which could be the best draft since the LeBron James draft
36:42
with some of the talent that's coming out from Europe and even
36:46
out of this year's. And we heard we have what's his
36:48
name again on Purcell says he says this is the best draft in
36:52
the last 15 years, maybe 20 years.
36:55
And now the Knicks aren't laughing to the bank.
36:59
They're laughing to the bank because the Knicks right now,
37:03
they're hoping that Trey Young makes the Wizards a little bit
37:06
better where they fall out in this lottery draft out a 9 or
37:10
10. And the Knicks could have a top
37:12
10 lottery pick or Top 14 lottery pick where they wouldn't
37:15
be because of all the trades that they've made over the last
37:18
past two years, that trading, trading with the Nets and, and,
37:22
and, and moving with Karl Anthony Towns.
37:25
I mean, this is this is a great move that could help the New
37:30
York Knicks in their future. So slam dunk.
37:32
Thank you to the Wizards for making this trade and Bah humbug
37:38
for the Hawks. So.
37:39
Yeah, it's very weird. Knicks fans off the roof for
37:42
Trey Young to try to get that draft, as weird as that sounds,
37:44
but it. Doesn't make any sense it.
37:46
Makes no sense for the Wizards. I like it for the Hawks a lot
37:48
because I actually think the Hawks are better off because
37:51
they have. A lot more depth with their
37:52
young players this year than we've seen in previous years.
37:55
And I think somebody like Trey Young that shoots up a lot and
37:58
is inefficient with the ball is something that hinders the team
38:01
value because even though the Hawks have a lot of guys that
38:03
are scoring in double digits right now, Jaylen Johnson, we
38:05
talked about it a couple weeks ago, having this breakout year.
38:07
We talked with Purcell about him being the rising star.
38:10
You have also other guys like the Keela, Alexander Walker
38:12
that's played well. Their number one pick is Zach
38:14
Rashire, still trying to find and get it going, but he's
38:16
played a lot better. But I think having Trey Young
38:19
there, which turns the ball over, shoots up threes and
38:22
misses a lot of threes this year especially.
38:24
Oh, we knew about Jaylen Johnson.
38:26
Yeah. I remember you knew him about it
38:28
as a dookie at the time and how good he was and you were
38:31
complaining. I think Shire's first year or
38:33
something, he wasn't getting enough minutes or something and
38:35
now he goes, he falls in the draft.
38:37
Because of that, too, the Hawks I think got him at 16 or 17.
38:39
He's turned into a nice player. He's a star now.
38:41
I think they have a better chance to thrive with these
38:43
other players. With these other you.
38:44
Bring Anthony Davis there and you get a top, I would say top
38:48
15 pick with this draft class. I mean, a Hawks are playoff team
38:52
next year. Yeah, because not to be a
38:54
playoff team this year. Purcell was talking about it too
38:56
like the the Pelicans pick they have too could become really
38:58
good if the right circumstances play out.
39:00
So this is the team that is going to get young in a core
39:03
together all at once. Then you if you do trade for
39:05
Davis, you have him and porous Ingas is your veteran.
39:07
Big, big. It's been said they're moving.
39:09
They're going to get Anthony Davis.
39:12
It's not just a rumor. Now Anthony Davis has been
39:15
wanting to be traded to either Chicago or the Atlanta Hawks.
39:18
So, and I think he has family that lives in Atlanta and that's
39:21
one of the reasons why he wants to move there.
39:22
And he's a rapper. So Atlanta, you know, ATL.
39:26
So I, I, I think it makes a lot of sense for him to go over
39:30
there. And with the young talent that
39:31
they have, I, they could be a playoff team with Anthony Davis
39:35
there, Porzingis, Anthony Davis Johnson.
39:38
I mean, this team is, is pretty good now.
39:41
Yeah. And it's CJ McCollum who's a
39:42
good veteran who's going to add some veteran personality to that
39:46
roster. I think they're going to be put
39:48
in a really good position. And, and Trey Young, of course,
39:51
he wanted to go to the Wizards because they're the only team
39:53
that had any interest in him. Nobody else in the league had
39:56
any interest in Trey Young. I wonder why?
39:59
Yeah, now he has joined up some other washed up veterans and
40:01
Chris Middleton. And Marvin Bagley.
40:04
You know those teams never work though, Errol, when you put a
40:07
bunch of over 30, you know, used to be superstars together, now
40:11
are just good players in the league and you hope that you
40:14
know it, it turns into something and they'll lead the second year
40:17
player from France to the to the promised land.
40:22
Better this year, but it's still.
40:23
Not great, no, it look and you can't expect them to be.
40:27
So what are they really trying to do?
40:29
You know, I, I don't, I don't think they're there yet.
40:32
To try to go all in on Anthony Davis seems like a mistake
40:36
considering what we've seen from him since he was traded to
40:39
Dallas, which is nothing. He's good when he's out there,
40:43
but. Or he's a Nico Harrison.
40:44
Model of audition. But here's the reason why I
40:46
think it would work. Over there.
40:47
You have Anthony Davis and Porzingis.
40:49
You have them on the court together.
40:51
Will they play 82 games combined?
40:54
How do they have to but. But here's the thing.
40:56
Yes, they do. They got to play at least a half
40:58
a season to get, you know. Yes, but here's what I'm
41:01
thinking. If they could sneak into the
41:02
playoffs, the size difference and the size advantage that the
41:07
Hawks would have, even if they go in as a like a play in team,
41:11
I would want to play the Hawks. If I have to play Anthony Davis,
41:13
if he's somewhat healthy and poor Zingis and the players that
41:16
they have and Johnson the way they're playing, I would not
41:18
want to play the Hawks. Well John Johnsons impressive
41:21
because he got hurt last year tour.
41:23
I think he was a labrum and missed the rest of the season
41:26
and then he came back and he looks the same.
41:29
He was on his way to be like the breakout player last year.
41:32
He was averaging a little bit under what he's doing right now
41:36
and right. And it was just so obvious to
41:38
the Hawks that they need to build around him, get rid of the
41:41
cancer that is Trey Young. But they did it for nothing.
41:44
It kind of reminds me of of the years ago when Stephon Marbury
41:49
would sit at courtside at Knicks games after he would.
41:52
I would watch him be on YouTube eating Vaseline and the Knicks
41:55
let their star player turn into such a depressed asset that he
41:59
lost his mind and he would sit. He paid for his own ticket to
42:02
Heckle his own team. That was worse.
42:05
But to get literally an expiring contract for the guy you traded
42:11
Luka Doncic to get on draft night, it's an embarrassment.
42:15
And Washington, guess who their GM is?
42:17
The guy that drafted, that made the trade, he's now the
42:21
Washington GM. So now that's why he.
42:23
Wants put him out, I say. He's not giving up on Trey
42:27
Young. Well, the rest of the league
42:29
has. Though Well, thank you, thank
42:31
you to him because you might have just saved the New York
42:34
Knicks and and this year's draft.
42:36
I mean, think about it this way. He this taking a cancer on might
42:41
give them five or six extra wins that can help the Knicks get the
42:45
Washington. The Knicks got screwed with that
42:48
Porzingis. And by the way, it's funny
42:51
because Porzingis is kind of, he's not a part of this trade,
42:54
but he's playing for one for the teams that was a part of for
42:58
this trade. So think about it.
42:59
Porzicus is playing for Atlanta. And who would have thought that
43:03
the fact that Trey Young goes to the Wizards could be the reason
43:07
why the Knicks get a lottery pick this year?
43:10
Because the Wizards are a stupid organization.
43:13
And they said, you know what, we got a chance to get Trey Young
43:16
and get a little bit better and now we're going to screw
43:18
yourself with a lottery pick so. Yeah, officially makes no sense.
43:22
Full circle 11 dumb GM makes makes the trade with this for
43:26
Trey Young and then the other one.
43:27
This might be this might be worse than Luka Doncic, OK.
43:32
It's it's a really dumb trade for both sides.
43:35
Like I I just don't actually like why you would risk.
43:37
I like it for the Hawks. But like if, I mean, I guess,
43:41
but you're not getting like you really think Mccollum's going to
43:44
tip, tip the scales, No. No, but I think you're going to
43:48
move. Kispert, he's not going to
43:49
money. He's not going to Hock shots.
43:51
Though it's it's the money thing too.
43:53
If they're going to flip Kispert for a pick in this draft, then
43:56
that's a really smart. Move.
43:57
That's probably what they're. Going to do that?
43:59
That's what they're going to do. There's no room for him.
44:01
Anyway, they have a lot of forwards that's.
44:03
Probably exactly. So it's just a strange deal that
44:06
he cost so little to get because I thought A-Team like the Nets,
44:11
you know, the Brooklyn Nets, they haven't had a guy that that
44:14
really deserves it. They're trying to let the kid
44:17
demon do it. And he has his moments, but
44:19
like, they're terrible. They're almost unwatchable.
44:23
They they almost won this game where he banked the shot in and
44:26
then Bouncero banked it in on the other side to defeat them.
44:29
Just how the Nets are losing these.
44:30
I think that ever since they changed the coaches over there
44:34
with the Atlanta Hawks, Trey Young has not felt comfortable
44:37
being over there. And I think he's had a problem
44:41
with some of the players on the roster.
44:43
I've heard off the court, even his locker, I've heard that he
44:47
doesn't even want to. You know, some of the guys that
44:49
were sitting right next to him didn't want to sit right next to
44:51
him in the locker room. So he was just creating so many
44:55
disgruntled players in that young players in that locker
45:00
room that didn't want to deal with him anymore and they had to
45:02
move on from nobody wanted him, so they had to do whatever they
45:06
can. He wanted to go to the Wizards
45:07
and I'm telling you the only reason why he wanted to go to
45:09
the Wizards is because he knows he is the number one guy there.
45:13
He is going to get the ball, he's going to shoot the ball,
45:16
he's going to hog the ball and he's going to ruin that team.
45:19
The only thing that he's going to help US Knick fans be happy
45:22
about is give them a couple more wins to maybe give the Knicks
45:26
the Wizards draft pick, which we've been waiting for.
45:28
Detroit screwed us, LA, the Clippers screwed us.
45:31
Everybody screwed us with these these unprotected first round
45:35
Jeff picks. And finally, maybe the Knicks
45:39
will win in the best draft over the last 15 years.
45:44
Actually get a lottery pick and get a good one because if I have
45:49
Worldwide West and Leon Rose picking in the top ten and at 9
45:54
or 10 or even 12 and this draft in a stock draft, I am betting
45:59
that the Knicks are going to get themselves a nice fit in player
46:04
that can help this team win for many, many years to come.
46:07
I I think this is this is a great this is great for Knick
46:10
fans. You should be excited, excited.
46:12
I'm a I'm a Wizards fan the rest of the year, so there's no
46:15
doubt. Let's go, wizard.
46:16
Knicks fans got through for Trey Young.
46:17
I just want to bet you before we move on, Errol, are you saying
46:20
because Trey Young was uncoachable with all these other
46:22
coaches, you're actually defending your boy Nate
46:24
McMillan? 100% a hundred.
46:26
I can't stand them. I know I couldn't stand Nate
46:29
Mcmillion million and every time he went to Madison Square Garden
46:33
in the playoffs, his ugly face, that stupid face that he made
46:36
and even when he was I, I, where would he?
46:38
Where did he put the SuperSonics too?
46:41
He comes from the SuperSonics. He played for the SuperSonics.
46:43
I couldn't stand him as a player.
46:45
I couldn't stand Nate McMillan and I couldn't stand him as a
46:49
coach and his big mouth and what he said about the Knicks and he
46:52
couldn't stand the Knicks organization.
46:54
Good. We couldn't stand you and we
46:56
can't stand Trey Young. I am so happy Trey Young went to
46:59
the Wizards, and I'm rooting for you, Trey.
47:01
I'm rooting for you because what you're going to do for us is
47:05
give us a lottery pick. And I could say F you.
47:09
F you to the Washington Wizards, the LA Clippers, the Detroit
47:14
Pistons. Oh yeah, and the Dallas
47:17
Mavericks on teams that have screwed us over the years on
47:21
unprotected picks. I can't stand that.
47:25
The NBA needs to fix that garbage.
47:27
Anyways. We call the final segment.
47:30
What's that smell? Hold on, what is that smell?
47:33
What's that? Smell.
47:39
Wow. You don't see that every day.
47:42
All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's just us four.
47:44
It's very simple. We're going to give you a story
47:47
and we're going to tell you what it smells like after we just
47:50
gave you the Trey Young story, which smells like it smells like
47:53
Rosie's for us, us Nick fans smells better than that.
47:56
I I'm smelling Ilio's pizza right now because I'm a pretty
47:59
hungry, even though I have a stomach ache.
48:01
Let's go. Here we go.
48:03
Here we go. We're going to go speedy.
48:05
We're going to go Tommy. Fish me.
48:08
Here we go. All right, so I'm going to start
48:09
off in hockey. We've been talking a lot of
48:10
hockey. This last.
48:12
Few hour of the show, I'm going to go to the Jordan Biddington.
48:16
We're not wanting to be pulled from the game against the
48:18
Blackhawks after allowing seven goals.
48:21
And then after the game they, him and his coach claim that,
48:25
oh, the headset wasn't working. So Joel Hofer didn't know to
48:27
come in the game then? They said Joel Hofer.
48:30
I know he's Joel Hoper, who fish you had on one of the your
48:33
goalie list before was in the top ten, was having a Goodyear.
48:35
They were trying to have him coming in the game and he wasn't
48:37
ready because they didn't know. So Jordan Benningtick comes off
48:39
and looks like he said. Do you make the Canadian team?
48:42
I don't know. I hope he didn't.
48:43
I hope not, but yeah, he's he's the number 2 goalie essentially.
48:47
How about Miami winning? Yeah, how about Miami winning
48:51
coming back? Down.
48:52
Yeah, so I was paying attention while you were you guys were
48:55
doing it. Just want to let you know,
48:56
Carson Beck, it was down in the goal line for some reason, Ole
49:00
Miss ran man and which is normal on the goal line, but the D line
49:04
didn't contain the quarterback. It was like the easiest
49:07
touchdown anyone's ever scored in an entire life.
49:09
He got to laugh his way into the end zone.
49:11
But then Chambliss got the ball back and did like the the Aaron
49:15
Rodgers back in the day thing and drove him down on three
49:18
plays to the 25 yard line or 30 yard line and they had one
49:22
chance to win and they didn't get it.
49:24
Pretty impressive the game by both teams.
49:27
They both deserve to be there. Kudos to Ole Miss doing that
49:30
with half a coaching staff. So if it's Miami versus Oregon,
49:33
it'll be the Mario Christopher revenge.
49:35
Game but I had Miami. I think it's I he's excellent.
49:37
My prediction was, and I don't want to hurt Indiana fans.
49:41
I had Miami and Oregon going to the championship game over the
49:45
last couple of days. I kind of put it together.
49:47
I have Oregon and and it's funny, before we get back into
49:50
it, we had Reno, Johnny and Worldwide W.
49:54
They have them on the money line, so they're pretty sure
49:57
that Oregon is a better team than Indiana.
50:00
So it'll be fun. It'll be something to watch
50:03
tomorrow to see how this game plays out.
50:05
Yeah, the three of us are on Ole Miss.
50:06
I was. You were on Miami, guys.
50:08
I was on Miami. I had Oregon, so we'll say I had
50:11
Oregon, Ole Miss originally. But to finish up my what's that
50:13
smell? Yeah, he was kind of
50:14
complaining, Jordan Bennington being pouty, as he usually is,
50:17
of not wanting to come out of the game.
50:18
So what does that smell like? It smells like Jordan
50:20
Bennington's pot potty mouth because he was the only one when
50:23
I edited those interviews, Errol, that used some swear
50:25
words during the interview. Lulu.
50:28
His potty mouth making out with that smelly shoeless guy you saw
50:32
at 7-11 in Vancouver. Oh disgusting guys opening the
50:37
door I get I get to Vancouver and the first thing I see with
50:40
my Uber driver is could can I stop at 7:11?
50:43
I walk out and this guy opens the door with no shoes on, no
50:47
shoes on, and his pants ripped to his ankles.
50:50
I I, what is this? I walk up to the thing.
50:53
I'm like, where the hell am I? Vancouver.
50:57
Thank you, Canadian. All right, well, we're
51:02
mentioning a little bit about Miami.
51:03
Let's go. And by the way, I'm going to
51:04
Montreal in a couple of days. Speak of speak of the devil,
51:11
Hopefully you put on some shoes for your.
51:12
I hope I don't see that in Montreal.
51:15
I'm not going. I'm not going into 711.
51:17
I got sick, All right, So we were just I like annual
51:21
congratulations to Miami. Now going to the national
51:23
championship. Let's talk about a Miami tight
51:25
end that's currently in the NFL. I'm trying to play this.
51:28
I don't know why it's not playing.
51:31
Okay, for whatever reason, it's not playing, but I wanted to
51:35
talk about for my, what's that smell?
51:37
We had David and Joku. There we go.
51:39
I don't know what was happening there, but we had David and Joku
51:41
over here. Signing a fan's stomach in the
51:44
season. The season finale sounds like a
51:46
good time. Now.
51:47
What I thought that was actually kind of funny about that was the
51:49
way I don't know if you see right there until the end.
51:51
He kind of does the little, the little like little squiggles
51:55
underneath his name and everything.
51:57
But yeah, it's definitely not the weirdest thing that people
52:01
have had signed. I've seen other people give
52:03
people a toaster or you know, I know the titties.
52:06
Titties are a common one to have signed or even you know, you
52:09
know, if I I got a chance, they meet to Sean Watson.
52:12
I whip my thing out and tell him to sign it.
52:17
Josh Watson. All right, well.
52:21
On that note, what does it smell like?
52:23
Well, it smells like the cesspool massage, this slash
52:27
massage parlor, whatever you want to call that organization
52:31
over there in Cleveland because outside of 1 gemstone and that
52:34
being the one who just broke a record, Miles Garrett, that team
52:38
is an absolute cesspool. That entire franchise and
52:40
organization is a cesspool. So what does it smell like?
52:43
It smells just like that. And the cesspool.
52:45
And the massage rooms. So I mean, I just made this
52:47
inadvertently. Analytic I needed to blow up.
52:52
You want to talk about cesspools, guys?
52:55
The Ottawa Senators had to put out a statement today.
52:58
I'm going to read it to you. Our organization was extremely
53:02
disappointed to read the completely fabricated and false
53:05
stories that are spreading around social media about our
53:08
hockey club. Linus, meaning Linus Almark, is
53:12
away from our team for personal reasons and he has the entire
53:16
organization support. We ask that people respect his
53:19
privacy, but clearly that request was not heard by the
53:22
lowest forms of trolls and sick people who scour the Internet.
53:27
We are disgusted that outside forces are attempting to disrupt
53:31
our hockey club. This statement will put an end
53:33
to the ridiculous speculation that has spread online.
53:37
That's from Steve Staios, former player and president of hockey
53:41
operations and GM. What is he talking about?
53:44
Oh, I got to look that one up. I don't know if you did.
53:48
What an interesting story. So here's the rumor.
53:52
Apparently Hallmark always came home from Rd. games and outed
53:57
guys who cheated on their wives to his wife.
54:01
Lo and behold, he had a side chick himself who ended up
54:05
calling his wife outing him. Then his wife outed all the
54:10
players cheating on their wives to the other wives right before
54:16
Christmas. That's the rumor that led to the
54:22
statement for the Ottawa Senators.
54:26
Oh my God, what does that smell like?
54:29
I I looked up what's the worst smell in Ottawa?
54:32
Apparently they have some pretty smelly train stations.
54:35
But I think it smells like a bunch of Axe body spray and
54:39
cheap Cologne. Dude.
54:40
Because that is a really, really bad way to ruin not only your
54:45
own personal relationships, but perhaps your entire team and
54:49
organization. And that guy is this guy won the
54:54
he was the best goalie in the league at one point I.
54:58
The Bruins won the President's Trophy that.
54:59
I'm, I'm not surprised because has anybody looked at hockey
55:03
players, wives? I mean, they're absolutely drop
55:05
dead gorgeous. They're the sexiest out of all
55:07
the wives. I mean, you look at NBA, you
55:10
look at NFL and then you look at NHL.
55:12
I've been to NHL, you know, award shows.
55:15
It's ridiculous. It is as so why would you cheat
55:19
on your wife? Like I mean on what?
55:22
There is no reason to cheat on your wife.
55:25
Has anybody seen Ovechkin's wife?
55:28
Go check out what Alexander. Go look at what Alexander
55:32
Ovechkin's wife looks like. She's unbelievable.
55:35
I mean, he looks like a goofy, no teeth, Gray headed, you know,
55:40
Warthog and and she looks like a prissy, you know, supermodel.
55:45
We said that with one of our guests.
55:46
I think Alexander Ovechkin's dentist the best.
55:48
Job, dude, the hockey players have the hottest chicks.
55:51
I I'm not. I don't, I don't care what
55:52
anybody says. I've been around so many
55:55
different baseball players, basketball players, football
55:58
players, nobody. I I've never seen hotter chicks
56:02
than hockey wives. So why are you cheating on them?
56:05
Makes no sense. But I did because of power and
56:08
because of money. That's what it's all about.
56:10
All right, My final watch that smell goes to is something sad,
56:12
which is got it. This is somebody that I was
56:15
looking forward to seeing at the Olympics.
56:17
American snowboarding star Chloe Kim said Thursday that she took
56:23
the silliest fall in training, dislocating her shoulder and
56:28
threatening her for a chance to win her third straight gold
56:31
medal next month at the Winter Olympics in Italy.
56:35
I don't know if anybody seen it, but it was a horrible fall and
56:40
the fact that she just dislocated her shoulder, I mean,
56:43
it looked like she, the way she landed, it looked like she could
56:46
have died. OK, It was a horrible fall, and
56:51
this could threaten her because you dislocated when you're
56:53
spinning around. And it could affect her,
56:56
obviously competing at the snowboard competition this
57:00
coming Winter Olympics, which is next month in February, right
57:04
after the Super Bowl. This is a horrible, horrible
57:07
story. Chloe is one of the biggest
57:09
superstars right now in American, you know, Winter
57:12
Olympics. Everybody's looking forward to
57:15
getting a chance to watch her get her third straight gold
57:18
medal. So it's horrible.
57:20
What does it smell like? It smells like, I don't know.
57:23
It smells like Tommy poops. Taking a dump and leaving it
57:28
sitting in a toilet for more than 24 hours.
57:31
That's what it smells like. That would be a terrible smell.
57:33
What do you think of roses? That's what it smells like.
57:36
Your shit smell like roses. That would smell like absolute
57:40
roses. I wouldn't.
57:41
I couldn't imagine somebody leaving their crap in a toilet
57:44
for 24 hours. That would be pretty nasty.
57:47
That would be nasty. I mean, I've done it before.
57:49
Just so everybody knows it was an accident.
57:52
It was an accident. I'm glad you made sure that it
57:56
was just so everybody knows. Yeah, well, it was an accident
57:59
that happened a couple of years ago just so everybody.
58:02
Well, but here it is. It was an accident.
58:04
I took a shower. Well, so shit, shower, shave,
58:08
right? You ever heard that saying I
58:10
took a dump and I forgot to flush?
58:13
And then, you know, Brittany came back the next day and she
58:17
was about to go to the bathrobe. It was like at 5:00 in the
58:21
afternoon. And she opens up to a a nice
58:24
little, you know, a nice little piece, you know, and she said
58:32
that you should have flushed that log down the toilet.
58:40
Anyways, that's our show ladies and gentlemen.
58:43
Thank you to Wes. Thank you to the one and only
58:46
guy we call Reno, Reno, Johnny for giving us their picks.
58:50
Congratulations to Miami moving on to their national champion.

58:55
90s. It's up in a long time coming
58:58

59:03
get a chance to play either the Hoosiers, all the Ducks.
59:06
Tomorrow we will find out who is going to meet them in the

1:00:21
goodies bag of balls. We should.

We should have just had his. What's that smell?

Prayer in advance. Yeah, I mean, maybe we'll take
1:00:27
