• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and George Iicorn. You know, I don't care what you
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: do with Tigers, doesn't matter, although I'm watching him now,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: but it's good to have you back in Pends. We
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: have a busy genda today, Soles. Let's get getting started.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: When you start off a show with the Stanley Cup
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: coach like Joel Quinville reservicing in Disneyland is pretty obvious
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to say where we're going to go with this bad boy.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: First of all, Joel Quintvill has been hired by the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Anaheim Ducks, and I'm going to read a statement from
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: general manager Patford. Beat Over the last two weeks, we
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: conducted interviews with many outstanding coaching candidates while simultaneously conducting
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a comprehensive review of what took place while Joel was
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: head coach of the Blackhawks in twenty ten. We spoke
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: with dozens of individuals advocates are positive change in hockey
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and leadership of the NHL, which last July officially cleared
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Joel to seek employment in the league. Their findings are
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: consistent with Joel's account that he was not fully aware
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of the severity of what trans fired in twenty ten.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It's clear that Joel deeply regrets not following up with
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: more questions at the time, has demonstrated meaningful person growth
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and accountabilly, and has earned the opportunity to return to coaching.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Of course, Garry Batman went out there and reinstated I'm
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: mike na lead off with you. What are your thoughts
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: about Joel Flintville returning to the Ducks, And I think
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it's first for all, a good situation. They didn't make
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the playoffs anyway, so they only have one way to go.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's just up. But you can pick it
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: up from there. I disagree, Okay.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I think this is a classic situation where there's different
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: rules for different folks and it's not right. What he
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: was involved in was terrible, Okay, terrible, and he was
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the key figure along with the club president who resigned
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and left.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, he was the key.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Figure in all this. I happen to be working for
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Nashville when this was occurring.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, played us.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: They played us in the first round of the playoffs
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: when all this went on, and Quinnville was the key
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: figure who said, I don't want to deal with this
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: right now. I want to a playoff series. I want
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to try to win a Stanley Cup. And I'm sorry.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I know it's professional sports, but some things are bigger
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: than professional sports. I think it's terrible. From the standpoint
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: of Anaheim, this is a team that made a twenty
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: two or twenty four point improvement from last year to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: this year with really, you know, other than a mid
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: season addition of a pretty good defenseman from New York,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: not a lot. And so I think also what they
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: did to a young, a first time NHL coaching, Greg
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Cronin was also not fair and obvious. Now that this
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: stuff was going on, before they let Cronin go because
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: there was no reason for why they let Cronin go,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And now I see why. So I just think it's terrible.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I think it's terrible for sports when we let some
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: people off the hook because of you know, their pedigree
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: as a coach or a player or other things, when
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: there's probably other people that if the same thing they
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: were involved in, the same thing, wouldn't be given that
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: same grace.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I have you on here for
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a reason. You've been around the hockey world for a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: lot longer than I have on many levels, and I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: accept your opinions. I take them to head and I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: take them to heart. I certainly totally respect everything that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, and I'm glad that you provide your input.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I just know, I just know in my opinion and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it will be slightly different.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And let me just add one thing, Scott, what is
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: this personal growth? And what did he do since he's
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: been suspended? You know, you can't just throw out a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: statement like he's had great personal growth? What did he do? Right?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: What did he do?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Did you sit around and play golf for the last
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: five years?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Show me something that says that he does deserve a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: second chance, and don't just give me that. Everybody deserves
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the second chance, though, because there's many people in the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: same situation that wouldn't get that second chance.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The only thing I can only say, and that's all
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say about, is Garry Bettman allowed him
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to come back, and that's it. That he's stared gave
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to be hired by anybody than he wants. Other than that,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to rest on what you said and take
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: what you have because you're an insider and you are
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a lot closer to the situation than I am. And
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I'm completely okay with that. I really, really, truly am okay.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm not saying any more about it. I'm glad
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you said plenty, which is great.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: What do you think, George, Yeah, I first glance, I
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: was I was pleased that they were moving on. It's
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: been a while since he called. I gotta be honest
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: with you, Mike, Like you said, Scott was closer to
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: the hockey world, and obviously I respect your opinion very much, Mike.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: All you guys expect everybody's opinion, not just but what
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I'm saying is that he brought up some valid points. Mike,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: you brought up some valid points. What are the things
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: that the coach endured or didn't endure, what he went improvement,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: what kind of things happen well, questions that we don't
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: have answers to. I always liked Joe Quindle as a
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: head coach. I'm talking about between the between. Uh, you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: his ability as as winning championships and training and conditioning
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and and being involved with the duties of a head coach.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: But of course I'm not happy with what went down
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and what happened in that terrible, terrible situation. So I
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: don't know. I guess I'm gonna wait a little bit
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: on this one to say I.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Don't think anybody could be happy with went down there.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: That was very severe stuff. When he did in Chicago,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that really was I'm not condoning it by any stretch
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of the imagination. I am not under knowing certain condoning it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: What he did was bad. That's why he'd been out
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: for a while, and that's why every coaching opportunity has
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: been out there. People have passed on him right and left.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So there's no question that he's definitely People say, hey, Joe,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we don't till any cups you've won, you're not getting
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: hired by here. This so happens. He happens to get
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: hired out in Anaheim, of all places. And that's all
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not going any further than that period.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: But he did in Chicago was outright and wrong. Stan
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Bowman obviously was there and he ended up leaving as well,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: so he was obviously part of that debacle that occurred
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: there as well. So again, Mike, I'm taking you exactly
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: for what you said, because you're much closer to the situation.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And why do you think I let off of you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: because I wanted to go to a guy who's a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: lot closer to it? All right, pends in some thoughts.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I agree with Mike when he said I didn't know
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: anything about what happened behind the scenes. You'll only see
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: what was between the bench. So what Mike has, Mike
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: has more insiders. So I don't think he has needs
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: a second chance after what Mike said. So, but we'll
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: wait it out. We'll see how things go. But as
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: far as I know, he was a decent coach, but
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: behind the bench he was decent, So we'll see how
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: it goes. I'm going to wait it out until I
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: get my full opinion.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are gonna have to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: take away and see attitude on this anyways ahead.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Right, I mean, I don't the guy was a tremendous coach.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I mean once Stanley Cupps is a coach's player back
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in his day, and he's probably a tremendous guy. I'm
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: not gonna I'm not going to argue that, but what
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: happened to this young hockey player will scar him for
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the rest of his life.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Right, And.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: You know Stan Bowman, Yes, he was a GM there.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: He was a first year GM with literally no real
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: authority or power there. Quinville had all the power in
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the way things were structured then, and Quinnville made Quinville
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: made the decision to move forward. And also, I don't
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: know how old he is now, but maybe seventy. He's one,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Stanley cup He's got plenty of money. I don't know
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: why you need to bring him back. There's plenty of
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: other good quality coaches out there. And again, this is
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the part I blame on Anaheim. They threw They threw
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a you know, a new head coach who did a
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: terrific job out there under the bus just so they
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: could run out and get this guy. And that's wrong.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Well, Josh, you didn't hear what Mike hand to say,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So yes, I encourage you to go back. What he
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: just said here tells you that Mike Santos is not
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a fan of Joel Quinville, putting it mildly. All right,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: let's talk about another major coaching.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: About a fan of Joel quinvill. I just don't think
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: this is I don't think.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: This is a just decision, right, Okay, Well that's fair enough.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: That's fair enough. Okay, let's talk about Pittsburgh Penguins. They
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: let go Mike Selvn. But how long did it take
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: for him to land a job in New York Rangers?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Mike Goodness, I don't know what Pittsburgh's gonna do, Mike,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: but tell you, the New York Rangers wasted no time
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: putting Sullivan in the Big Apple. What are your thoughts about,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: first of all, what transparent in Pittsburgh and what's taking
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: place in the Big Apple.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Mike Sullivan came into a many and
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: ready made team in Pittsburgh, and you know I want
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to Stanley Cup. Uh, there's no doubt about it. But
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: he's been there a long time, and you know, the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: probably new ownership a couple of years ago. Now now
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: they stuck with him and it was probably time for
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: a change, and you know, Mike Sullivan would say the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: same thing. And then you've got the Boston University connection
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: in New York, particularly with Chris Druria as the general manager.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Right well, I don't think it was any surprise that
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you know, he basically got on a bus and you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: for four or five hours later landed at Penn Station,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: New York. And so, you know, I think Mike sulliv
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: would be the first one to tell you that's that's
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: part of the you know, that's part of the terrain
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: for being a head coach. And you know in the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: National Hockey League, he had a great run in Pittsburgh
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and honestly, it's going to take that team a while
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: to turn things around.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Right now.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: They've got some big decisions to make. It usually happens
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: with championship teams when they're at the end of their run.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And so I don't think he would have been and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: the right guy going forward there to go through some
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: sort of development phase to get the Penguins back. So
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: he's in a good spot with a team that, if
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: nothing else, has a lot of talent, it just needs
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a lot an attitude adjustment. In the Rangers, they were
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I mean everybody was picking them to maybe be a
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup finalist this year, but that team was one
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of the softest teams mentally I've ever seen. I mean,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: they were what a bunch of cry babies. That's how
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I would explain the New York Rangers this year.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to live. They're coming up of President's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Trophy and they they laid and egged badly as they
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: did George.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is a good move by the Rangers. Obviously,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: time for Sullivan to move along. Basically he's been in
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh for so long, taking nothing away from what he
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: achieved there with the Stanley Cup championships. But you nailed it, Mike.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: You know, the Rangers were too so off this year.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Peter Levallette, I don't know what was going on over there.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, they had some injuries, but all teams have injuries.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: And Chris Drewry acted fast. He made the move last Friday,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: and you know, trying to see if Mike Sullivan can
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: work some magic at Madison Square Garden. I'm not so sure.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: They do have a lot of talent, but they just
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: were not giving to my to my eyes, they were
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: giving a full effort. Like you said, they're nowhere near
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: giving that one hundred percent effort that they need and
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: game in and game out. So I think it's a
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: good move for both teams. Pittsburgh was ready to move on,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: and I think the Rangers did the smart thing and
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: getting Sullivan signed.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: You have last word on this one.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I'm a big Penguins fan ever since I was a
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: little kid. I've seen coaches come and go. I appreciate
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Mike Sullivan what he did. He went back to back championships.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: But if you don't win get close to the playoffs,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: you lose the locker room. It's time, and it was.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I thought he was gonna be fired a year or two.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: You talk to Ralph and I we both agree that
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: he should have been fired two years ago. But now
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: we're to go forward. We'll see Malkin's going to go
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: back to Russia soon and stay in Russia. Crosby's coming
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: up to his last contract, so he's going to retire.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: We just were geated the eleventh pick in the this
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: year's draft. So we'll see what happens coming forward. Hopefully
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: we'll get hopefully we'll get right pieces.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So what a year, What a year? What a difference
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: a year makes? Steven Stamkos goes to the National Predators
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and he missed the playoffs and the Tampa Bay Landing
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: were eliminated in the first round by the Florida Panthers
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: were on We're here, talks about the way Sam coast
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: little now like obviously I don't think he planned it
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: this way, the way things worked out, but it's but
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: also another announcement, Andrew Burnett will be back as a
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: new as a coach going forward next year, and Barry
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Fronts announced that heday, Well, let's keep the focus on
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Steven stampcos, you know, a year away from the playoffs
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and now he's in Nashville and he's not placing the postseason.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, from Nashville's perspective, absolutely a horrible move.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: And I said this last July on Neil Smith's podcast
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: when first happened. Nashville has created a real problem for themselves.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: And I say that as somebody who loves the organization.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Work for the organization, But Nashville has become a nice
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: place to finish out your career. It's a nice place
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: with nice weather. There's no state income tax. My wife's happy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I've already won Stanley Cups. Oh we lost tonight, That's okay.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: There's a whole bunch. There's a whole bunch of thirty
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: year olds on that roster right move. They all have
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: no trade and no move clauses, so there's no there's
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: no worry that they're going to get traded or put
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: on waivers. It's just a nice company place to finish
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: out the year. And with the money they paid him
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: four years eight million a year, he wasn't going to
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: get half of that in Tampa. He wasn't offered half
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: of that. And he wasn't going to get that in
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: his other option, which would have been Detroit, and that
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: probably would have been the better place for him, which
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: right at a lower salary, but he opted for the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: you know, the nice smooth take me into retirement. I
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: mean that organization. Now, they remind me of the La
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Kings in the seventies and eighties. They remind me of
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the Florida teams in the nineties where this is what
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: a great place and my wife loves it here, so
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: that happy wife, happy life. And so we don't win,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: we don't make the playoffs. Who cares? Right from Tampa's standpoint,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: they filled his spot. I don't think not having stamp
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Coastes what cost them in the first round of the playoffs.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think they were prepared to play playoff hockey,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: especially the way you have to play it against the
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Florida Panthers. I mean, the first game in their own building,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: they just got pushed around all over the ice. Pretty
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: much happened throughout the series, but especially Game one, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: the Panthers came in and knocked them on their ass
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and the series was over. And but I mean, as
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: far as we're placing replacing standpost production for camp I
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: mean they did that, especially when they added Jake Densel.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: So that's my thoughts overall.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: George, obviously everybody destroy one to see. Yeah, but what
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts about.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Isn't an ironic a fellow named Tara Shanko comes to
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: the right wings instead of mister Stampkos and we all
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: know how that worked out at least one season horribly
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: And the wings obviously, just like Nanshell did make the playoffs,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: stamp Coast got a lot of good hockey. And again, Mike,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: you've you've shared some very you know, deep knowledge of
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: the situation with the way you describe you know, a
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: lot of these middle aged or upper age players and
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: that comfort zone, that comfort you know, with their family,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: their wives, whatever.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: It is a little bit this disconcerting to me because
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: every team is out there, and every team is supposed
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: to have one goal in site, obviously to win the
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Stanley Cup. And and when we get into situations like this,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: you got to scratch your end. You say, what's going
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: on with some of these players, you know? And why
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: did it happen to stand Coast like that? Why did
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: it happen to Nashville like that? I mean, you know,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: they had a really good team for many many years.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: They just couldn't couldn't win it all. But I think
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: that I think you'll bounce back. I think that'll be
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: whether the whole femal bounce back. Who knows. That's a shame.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: But like I said, we've got a lot of teams
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: in that same area that that gray area of that
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: national is and right now, but stand coast still. I
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: think a lot of good hockey left, and he's making
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: a ton of money. He better hustle.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll tell you. The National is a beautiful city, Mike.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: You and I both know that as well. I have
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a my sister in law, my brother in law lived there,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and of course lived there, and it's really a beautiful,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: beautiful place. And Bill wicked by the way, Georgia, I
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: know you do this, yes, is with Nashville as well.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: So quick thought fending on stamcos they have a lot
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to get to today here on the Sports Exchange. So
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: here we go.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Him and Mark and would have been noisee ass quick winded.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: I thought him was going to the Red Wings. But
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: that's what I said with him and market del Markhiul
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: a bit noise, but he made his choice, So I'm
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: glad he's happy. But like Mike said, no Stanley Cup, Oh,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: well he's had Nashville, so so he's happy. So that's
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: my take on that.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're right, Scott. It is a nice place to
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: be and to live, and that's the problem, especially when
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: you've got ten thirty year old or older hockey players
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: on your roster. It's just a nice place to be.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: And you've got all sort of the former players that
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: have moved there and make it their home now. From
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Ryan Getz laugh to Ryan Smith, Brett Hull has a
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: home there now. So it's a you know, for a
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: for a guy that's thirty three, thirty four years old,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: it's a great place to live. Well, the old guys
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: you used to play with, you're still you're still playing.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I said, I can't say enough good things
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: about Sam Coast and his decision to at least move
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to Nashville. Listen, like you said, he's got the hardware,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: he's got the money, and he's got no state income text.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: It just can't get a whole lot better than that.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Right, he chose thirty two million over nine million. I mean,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: who wouldn't make that decision.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what next Wednesday's edition of the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Sports Exchange. When I'm gonna do and when I'll even
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: do Mike, Okay, is he incorporated if we're on Thursday
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: night into our because it's just gonna be you and I.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Next week we're going to be doing shows solo where
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: we can do a lot more rapid fire topics while
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: other people on this crew do other nights. I'm going
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to include the California income taxes and you and I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: are going to have a field day with that one
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: on our own. That'll be on Wednesday and Thursday, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I see you and I can talk about it, so
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. And I'm gonna do that because out
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: of respect to what you just said here about Stamp Does,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and let's take say you know your math, well, nine
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to thirteen million dollars is an awful lot of money,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and you can't make that up. When you don't when
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you don't sell a hotel room people, you don't get
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: that money back or anything like that. So once it's lost,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it's lost. So Staff Does isn't stupid? Four million dollars
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: in Tennessee isn't a bad thing to do. One more topic,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: go to a station break. We have a lot of
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: rapid fire stuff coming up here. Redwing's prospect Trey Augustine
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: one Big ten goaltender of the year in twenty eight
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: games of Michigan statey posted a two point oh two
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: goals against average and a nine to twenty seven nine
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: point twenty seven save percentage via MSU Hockey that's where
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: this source comes from. Augustine continues to raise his stock,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and of course, Sebastian, Cosa and Augustine figure to be
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: an elite team in the future. Now, bear in mind,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Augustine has informed the Wings that he is returning to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Michigan State for his twenty twenty five twenty twenty six season.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: What are you talking, Mike about his decision to go
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: ahead and proceed, Josh, we have a lot more to
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: stay with it. I'm not worried about what's on read.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going through what I have and I have your
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: text and it will all be discussed, but I have
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to balance it out. So show a little bit of patience.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: You sent some good stuff. We stay with the tentery.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Everybody's happy. Continue Mike about Trey Augustine.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, as far as the Red Wings
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: are concerned, I unlike probably a lot of the impatient
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Red Wings fans maybe you're one of them. George, I
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: do still think you've got to believe it that he
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: knows what he's doing and it's going to take time.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: And I understand like all teams that are sort of
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: like George said, in that gray area. Right now, it's
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: difficult to get out of there, and everybody seems to
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: point to goaltending as the quickest way out. But goaltenders
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: take a heck of a lot more time to develop
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: than skaters do in the NHL, and so Redwing's fans,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sure don't want to hear this, but let's be
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: patient with both Kosa and also with Augustine and let
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: the cream rise to the top. I mean, they've got
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: two really good, potentially really good goaltenders, and the cream
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: will rise to the top. You both also want you
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: want them both in the net. You don't want them
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: be in the backup somewhere. You don't want them, you know.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: So as far as Augustine going, that's awesome, go back.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: He'll have the net every night that he wants it
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: right for the Spartans, and the same thing for Cosa,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: even if he ends up in great rapids. Again, it's
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: all about getting these goaltenders into games, letting them develop,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: letting them get as many shots as they can. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: can tell you, like when I was an assistant GM
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: typically one of my duties was to oversee the minor
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: league and the development system, and I would take what
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: would be considered our number four goaltender and send him
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: down to the ECHL. The reason why I would do
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: that is because I didn't care about what level of
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: hockey was. I knew that if he was in the AHL,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: he was probably going to play twenty twenty five games
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: that year, But if I sent him down to the ECHL,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: he was going to play sixty games that year. And
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: that's that's what the young goal turner just need. They
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: need to play, they need to develop. It's very very
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: rare that a goaltender comes into the NHL and lights
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: it up at age eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old. Most
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: of them finally make their way in their mid twenties,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: and the good ones sometimes even later than that. The
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: good news, though, is sometimes they play until nearly forty
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: and they give you talk performances right up until they're finished.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no question. What you're saying is one hundred
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: percent echor Mike. To me, I think the best thing
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: that Trey Augustine can do is go ahead and play
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: in Michigan State for another year. It doesn't matter he
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: got Coosa that. You have to look at the future anyways.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Why do you think they brought in Peter Moreenzick in
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the birth late because they anticipated that they're going to
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: have obviously Alex Lion's going to go. You got Cam
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Telbert there for about another year, and you never know
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Cosa could be a part of it. And I watch
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Steve Eisermann's final press conference, he doesn't feel that Cosa's
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: play after the All Star break with the AHL warranted
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: him a call up. Is from what I had heard.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. I got to leave something
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: out there for George Eichorn.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Well, that's all well and good, which you
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: talked about, Mike, But why did they Why did they
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: fire their goaltending coach in Detroit? Something wasn't working. Now.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that goaltending coach. You might be
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: able to answer this better than me. Did he does
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: he spend any amount of time in Grand Rapids looking
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: at coach so he has to right or does he
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: just concentrate on the two or three guys on the
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: roster on the major league roster? My question, you know,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know who. I didn't even interview this coach
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: this year, but I mean, it just seems odd they
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: fired the video coach and they fired the goalie coach.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Know how their goaltending coaching works in Detroit. Yeah, I
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: know that. In the organizations that I've worked in, some
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: of some of them have had a couple of goaltending coaches.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Most of them have had at least a couple of
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: golden coaches, Okay, and it worked one of two ways.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: The veteran goaltending coach, like, for instance, I worked with
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Mitch Korn for years, who was thought to be one
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: of the great goaltending coaches of all time in the NHL.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: He's actually the goalie coach that developed Dominic Hasseck in Buffalo.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: We don't know who great he was. Yeah, But there's
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: some goaltending coaches who are charged with the duty of
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: sort of being the uh, the eyes in the sky
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and the best friend of the goalie on the NHL,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the number one goalie on the NHL team. And there's
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: some goaltending coaches which are charged with being the development
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: guy and obviously the guy that deals with the NHL guy.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: He gets to buy on the charter flights and stay
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: at the Ritz Carlton in different cities and you know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: eat nice meals and all that kind of stuff, which
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: is great, but depending on where your organization is right now,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and for me the Red Wings, it's all about the
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: future and the development. I would want my top goaltending
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: coach out there in Michigan State and working with the
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: guys that are the future. Yeah, you know, and guy
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: is they have with even if they have nobody with
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Moraazak so uh, That's that's how I would. I don't
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: know how ran their goaltending this year, but that's how
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, No, I appreciate that. One last thought, Scott before
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: we get de pensvent. I'm never going to condemn a
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: kid for coming back to college. Okay, junior year, senior year,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: and they have a winning program. They got something special
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: going on there at Michigan State. Obviously they wanted to
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: get to the Frozen Four and win it all. I'm
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: just saying that I will never fall Augustine for coming
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: back again. He's got, like you said, Mike and Scott,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: you've got plenty of hockey ahead of him in the
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: years ahead. If he's if hopefully he can make the
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: NHL roster Detroit.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, George, I'll tell you this right now, man, that's
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: a bulls eye period. I don't have to ring my
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: voice saying that from Sorry, you want to go back
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to Michigan State play another year, go ahead and do it.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I want to win a national championship going right, So
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: hold its rights doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a matter of when what it is. And again I'll
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: go with what Mike said, Say what you want about Stevember.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I still believe you have to trust what Stevie's doing.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling they'll make it be a big
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: player in free agency. Steve wants to get their bet
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and but you're not gonna work his feature to do it,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: all right, Pensan close out the topic, Well one more
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: then we're gonna go to the station. Brank have a
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: lot of other great things to get to. So if
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: you're just joining us, stay with us, a lot of
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: great stuff to do. Fire up follows us after the
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: sports chains. Go ahead, Penslan.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Plus, going back to college helps your draft stock too,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: so I've just got to think about that too. But
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: go back to Michigan, go learn some stuff. Go learn that.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: If you go to the CHL like Mike said, get
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: take some shots. That's fine too. But you gotta get experience,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: you gotta get shots on you. So we'll see how
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: things are. Domina Kashick was one of the best goalies
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: in Buffalo, not so much in Detroit, but he pulled
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: his weight. But so that's my take on that.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, one other thing I want to get to before
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I go to the station break, and that is this,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: According to Ryan Whitney, John Tortorella told Cam York prior
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: to firing, if you resign here, I will bury you.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: My goodness, Mike, I have to lead off with you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: on this. If a coach said, if you resign here,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I will bury you. That's from stuff.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Our good friend is in week with us this week,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: so I'm going to take his place and say, I
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: am so sick of the media and all you all
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: the influence they have on this BS.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Who is Ryan Whitney right podcast? And his job is
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: to make all kinds in the ways in these types
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: of situations, right. And I know Ryan and you play
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: that it's not a bad guy, but come on, like
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: these players are so caddled now in every sport, like
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: let's sake, I mean, come on now, and now we're
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: at the point where they're getting paid before they're even professionals.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: On top of it, I mean, yeah, I don't, I
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: don't care. I'm a I'm a believer in ports, even
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: though the way he coaches is just, I guess, not
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: welcome anymore, not only in hockey, but in all sports.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Now you gotta you know, I said this last week.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: You know, it used to be how to figure out
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: that you pack this guy in the head or kick
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: him in the behind. Now now you can't kick him
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: on the behind. You can only pat him aad and
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: if you don't, you're out.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: All I can say is the words I will bury
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: you are not something I particularly like. I don't know
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Ryan Whitney, like you do. All I do is see
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the news, and I report news and I put it
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: on these shows. And how everybody decides how they want
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to interpret the news is subject to their own discretion.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: And let's say that is one on one.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: All I know is if everybody told me I will
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: bury you, I'm not so happy. I'd be too lily
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: enthusiastic about it. And the Flyers weren't. And that's why
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: John Tortorolla is not working for that organization.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: But who said John Tortorella did even said that.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Media.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're all guilty, Okay, I get it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Probably media.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I mean all these guys that are in the hockey
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: world anyways, the media now are all these recently retired
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: players who are doing the podcasts. I mean that really
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: is a lot of the media, you know. Now if
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: it's not sitting checklts with diss and that and and
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Whitney and yandle, it's it's you know, Missing Curfew with
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Scottie upshawl and Sheen O'Brien and you know, these guys
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: been out of the league a hand full of years
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: at most, and now they're the they're the media. Well
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: who are they talking. They're talking to their friends, the players,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: and this is what this is.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: What we're getting, okay, George, Yeah, I don't like those comments. Okay.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of that kind of language and
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: that kind of comments. When I when Scott told me
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: about this topic, I did a little research and it
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: goes back to believe it or not, this is the
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: kind of language that khrushtof used back in the early
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: sixties from Russia our Soviet Union. And I don't I
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: don't like it. Yeah, I think he they should have
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: better spend your time a little bit better and more
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: constructive criticism or opinions. I will bury it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Guy.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of that either. So that's about
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: all I got for that one.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: That's okay. We have to talk like the encyclopedia and
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the topic was pressing a head on and then going
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: from their ipens, and you've got final words of it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I just don't like the words. I will there you.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: But then if some people cross the lines with me,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I will anyway. So no matter who might have, go
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: out there and say it. When I do it, it's
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: just like everybody has says, right, would you agree with
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: me on this? If you cross the line and you're mad,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: you will bury them right now. Now, I'm not saying
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Ryan Whitney but me. It's just coming from the Motor City.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Mout. You cross the line with me, you get the trea. Okay,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. I don't know who Ryan Whitney is.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: God only knows. I never will meet this guy anyways,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and I'm i'll all get to say it. My wife
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and I are going to Europe in about six weeks.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking forward to going And until then, we're
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: gonna keep putting these shows out there faster than then
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the auto industry makes charge, won't Maybe not that fast?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: All right, Pensley, you got the last word on it,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and I'll fire up tonight because I only have about
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: two or three more weeks before I can get out
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: of out of the house so I can drive again
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: because I don't need thumb surgery. Thank God, I'm seventy
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: percent healed. Hellelujah, all right, go ahead for Pentman. Was
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: that so much information?
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know John to tough coach, but I can't
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: see him saying that. But if he doesn't do what
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: job wants, I can see him doing that. But I
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: don't actually know because there's no interview that said that,
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: So I don't know. I just know how John is
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: as a coach, so and he's he's a tough coach.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: He's in your face. If you don't do what he does,
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: he will get in your face. I don't know if
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: he says that I have of anger or joking, but
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: that's just not professional.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: So I got yeah, so crazy Arena. I still would
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: like to meet this guy, but we.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Do I would too. Oh, that's always on my wish list.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Have you ever met John Porterolo by the way.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Mike, Yeah, he grew up to towns Over for me
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: and we played in the same youth hockey organization and
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: his brother is a very good friend of mine.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: What do you think of the guy overall?
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: He's a great guy. He's a great guy. He's an
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: intense competitor. I heard, Yeah, I just don't look if
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: he If he said that, you know, hey, then he's
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: gotta he's gotta live with it. But I don't know.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I don't see anything that tells me he said it
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: other than Ryan Whitney talking to some player who decides
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: he wants to, you know, get back at Tortorella or whatever.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. So then my follow up question, show
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: me the interviews, show me where he said it, right.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, then my follow up question to you
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: is this, before we go to the station break, would
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: you say that John Tortorella is very misunderstood.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: No, I think well understood. I just think people don't
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: like what he said, what he's all about, Yeah, go back.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I just think this is a just a softer generation
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: of athletes that we have now. I mean, like, all
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: you have to do is look to the collective bargaining
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: agreements in all these leagues now guaranteed days off and this.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, don't give me a story.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: You've all seen the movie Miracle, right when they're went
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: on there a big tour and they they like crap
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: over and I think it was Holland and what Brooks too.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: He lines them up on the ice and skates their
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: behinds off for for forty five minutes right there, right,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Well that, I mean, high school can't do that with
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: these guys anymore. Oh yeah, like there's just there's they
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: run the show now, the players run the show, and
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: they run the media.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get me started with the software generation. I
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: could talk for ages and ages and ages. I won't
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: do that, but I'll tell you what I am doing.
• 37:35

  Speaker 2: Back to you, Scott.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: All right, we have some pretty good stuff in store,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: so let's start right here. Peter de Boor is the
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: first coach in all of professional sports to have a
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: nine in old record in game seven, Mike, if that
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: isn't clutch, tell me what the word clutch means? Nine
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and oh in game seven.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, phenomenal coach. I had the pleasure of working with
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: him home one year in Florida, and honestly, if we
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: had kept him behind the bench, we probably would have
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: won our Game seven against New Jersey because he was
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: on the other bench, and we lost Game seven and
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: triple overtime. Right, So yeah, nothing but nothing but great
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: things to say about Pete de Boor. He's not a
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: he's not a gigle guy. He's not you know, he's
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: he's he's closer to a Tortorella than he is one
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: of these new school coach. But yeah, he gets the
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: most out of his players, and he's a real smart,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: smart guy.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: George, Yeah, I've always liked him too. Obviously, he's got
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: connections to the motor City and across the river to Windsor.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: That's remarkable. That is an unbelievable record. I don't care
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: if you're coaching minor leagues amateurs ANHL to be that
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: perfect in game seven. I heard that too the other day.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it. That is a phenomenal record and
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: something to really be proud of, which I'm sure he
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: has and all of his followers. It's just an incredible,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: incredible feat. But I like him too as a head coach.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: Good good record, good good coach, very smart. Us watched him. Coach.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: He's got good four to three four defending the blue
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: line likeway does he's got. He's really smart with his players.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: So I can't say nothing negative about the player about
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: the coach.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, I really, I really like to see him
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: win a Cup. He deserves it. You know. He took
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: San Jose eight to the finals. They lost.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: He's close. He's close.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: A great Pittsburgh team, right Bensman.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: When yeah, yeah, we need him right now?
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: We lost. You know, he took New Jersey to the
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: finals and lost to l A. He took Vegas to
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: the finals and lost. You know, so he's he's do
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: And let's don't remember like these game sevens and you
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: win that many of them It's not like you go
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: out in your head all the time, right, there was
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: somewhere like the like the last one where they had
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: to come from behind in the third period to win,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: like you're in all different types of situations. That just
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: tells me that if your team can be that successful,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: you know and perfect really in game sevens, then what
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: you've really do as you've prepared them. And so his
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: his the way he prepares his team that allows them
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: to go out to win these big, big game sevens.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: There's a steal for him, well for Palmer, he's got
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: his last year. Who knows there might be some sentimental
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: favorites out there hoping that. Peter de borg Get says
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: well mus as well talk about the Florida Panthers Toronto
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Mapleys interesting series. Even though Sam Bennett knocked out Anthony
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Stollars a goaltender, didn't matter that backup goaltender and Able
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: helped out the leaves to go ahead carve out a
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: two to nothing lead in the series. Game three is
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night at seven o'clock PM Eastern Time. The only
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: thing happen to say about it is this, everybody knows
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: it's a must win situation for the Panthers to stay alive.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: I know what, there was a stat at one point
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: that said that when Toronto was one in thirteen and
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: close out games. Now I think they're two and thirteen
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: with that stat. But if Toronto wins tomorrow, they get
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: a stranglehold on this series. So, Mike, do you think
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: the Panthers can make it two to one tomorrow night?
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Can they make it two to one tomorrow night? Yes?
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I think they can win the series. No, okay, And
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: and for the simple reason that they've played so much
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: hockey last two years. I mean, when you play into
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: July two years in a row, they lost, they lost
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: the finals to Vegas, and then they bounce back, come
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: all the way back and win a final in seven
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: games last year. Then not only that, but the way
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: that team plays. Nobody plays grittier or harder than they do.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Like they're they're playing in physical games every night. They
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: only know how to play it one way, and kudos
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: to them, But I just think that at some point,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong, but I think
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: they're just going to run out of run out of gas.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Well, Austin Matthews on a mission, It's like Connor McDavid
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: was when you have superstar players played for these respective squads,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: they're they're a boatload to handle for sure. So go ahead, George.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: I'm never gonna count out Florida. I agree with Mike.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: They played a lot of hockey, no question about it,
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: the last several seasons. But I still think they have
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: any for Let's just talk about Game three, like you said, Scott,
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: and and you know, beating it's a must win situation,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: no question about it. You never want to go down
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: three nothing. You don't even want to go out do
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: nothing but Toronto. Let's face it, guys, I mean year
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: after year, coach after coach, player after player, you know,
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: they still haven't broken that long long jink. So maybe
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: this is their year. I'm not sure, but they're off
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: to a damn good start, no question about it.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: To zero.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with Florida to win the next game.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: You know what, I'm playing this comment up. I think
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: it's a good one, OK. And no ask comment. Jade
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Wyatt one of them, he's gonna be He's one of
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: our stars on fire. Up. And I'll tell you one
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: thing about Jdy. I want everybody know, right, now, and
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I mean this okay, but JD. Wyatt has come a
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: long way in this system. He has done an outstanding job.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: His improvement on social media has been outstanding. I'll tell
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: you if you haven't seen fire up with JD Wyatt
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: on there and Candy Ebling Penman and the country club
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: that follows us after we get through here, unbelievable stuff.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: J D Wyatt, I'll tell you on a live broadcast.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I am absolutely, without question, proud of you, period, and
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: that's what I want everybody to know out there. So
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: keep up the great work on Twitter. There's a chance
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: you might end up on this show as well, so
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: there's no question about that. I don't mind heaping out
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: rates in front of everybody because there's a lot more
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: to this operation than the people that are on all
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: the time. There are people behind the scenes like Kim
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: on other shows. They give us a loaded roster all
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the way around. I'm part of you, JD. Whittt All.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: My advice is keep it up all right? Where was
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: I we were on still, Peter de I go ahead, Bensman.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I do want to make sure that I got that out.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that Scott means a lot I appreciate you. That
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: means a lot penman the board. We have a lot
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: more to go.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: I'm going to defer on this one.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, no problem. All right, let's go ahead and on
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: one more topic, and that's called the fact that the
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: New York Islanders go from eleven to one in the
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: NHL Draft lottery. I hate this NHL Draft lottery. I
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: don't really care. The only one that's probably happy is
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Patrick Waugh, Okay, because now he's going to have the
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: top player and the draft. Who knows when they're gonna
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: get up there. What are your talks about the NHL
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Draft lottery, Mike.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Well, it's always good to have the number one pick.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: The problem with the number one pick, particularly in a
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: year like this, but really any year, as Chicago proved
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, is you can screw it
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: up right. It's just so difficult to to scout and
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: evaluate sixteen and seventeen year old kids and try to
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: find it predict what they're going to be like when
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: they're twenty three and twenty four years old, particularly in
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: a year like this where there's no sort of you know,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: big name player so to speak, like there has been
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: in years past. There's no guarantees. The other thing is
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know who the Islanders have steering the ship
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: right now, right and when they're going to make and
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: then when they're going to make a higher so you know,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: I mean they haven't you know, unlike most organizations, I
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: didn't see them even step up when Lula Morrils left
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: and said so and so is going to be the GM,
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: the interim GM, or you know, we get somebody in
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: this position. This person's going to lead the ship. So
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: right now, I don't know if they have much direction there,
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure they had scopes that were out there
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: when they're jobs all year. But but this is, this
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: has been in these meetings. This is when it comes
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: down to, you know, who were going to take and
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: you know a lot of times the buck stops there
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: and it's the GM that it's going to make the
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: final decision. So I think they they need to get
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: somebody in there quick. I believe this is just a
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: hunch that the that the person that they probably would
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: like is working for another team right now, and that team,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: especially with the Island is having the number one one pick,
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: probably isn't willing to let that person interview for the job,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: or even go for the job right now unless the
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Islanders pay them a healthy ransom coming back.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I don't even know who's steering that.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I think they'll let Lul Lamarul go. He's eighty two
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: years of age, is that right? So yeah, a direction.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: So George, Hey, Jimmy, Deblana's available, Jimmy now and all
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: kidding aside, you're right. I mean, you got to number
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: one pick coming up, my gosh, and you haven't named
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: a GM and you don't the whole leadership question is there.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Like you said, Mike, I just know that I was
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: never a big fan of that system. It seems like
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: this one team located close to me and never gets
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: a break on that lottery stuff. But that's quite impressive
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: to go from eleven to one. Big a lot of
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: things to clean up and to get better out of
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: New York, the Islanders, that is so and one player,
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: a young player such as that, you know you don't
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: want to mess that up. Then number one pick you
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: don't want to, so that is a very important decision.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think I get that management team rolling.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: You have you had any luck at all, be no
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: luck when attend to that thing. So yeah, if I
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: ever then might be focusing on free agency, not worry
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: about how many games you win or lose. Just go
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: out there cleaning up. But you can't get the best
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: player that you can. And not only that, you better
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: hope your scouting department's good enough to landos hiding gems
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the draft. All right, and I'll
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: leave it at that. Then you've got last word on
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: this one. A few more topics get to go ahead.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: Well, the Penguin's got Sidney Crosby at the first pick
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: in two thousand and five, so they turned out well
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: for that. But so we'll see what the Islanders do
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: in their first pick. So moving from eleven to one
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: is impressive. So just don't mess up the number one pick.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: And you got know who you like. I don't know
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: where they are. They are a good physical team, but
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the Islanders need. So the Islanders do,
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: They just need a GM but hopefully they can build
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: up from there.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk. I've been talking about international participation
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: all week. I'll continue the team this week. The Penguins
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: and the Predators two teams that we've talked about a
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: lot in this show. We'll play in the Global Games
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: in Sweden Global Series from November fourteenth and sixteenth. What
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts like about the choice of these two teams.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Oh to play overseas.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Penguins.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Like like most of the major four sports leagues, and
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: especially the NFL and the NBA, the NHL is trying
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: to make an impact over in Europe and and uh
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: make their game more global. So I don't know if
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: it really matters the I know that the Panthers have
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: been over a couple of times, I think both times
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: to Finland. I know Nashville has been over now this
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: will be the second time that they've gone overseas to
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: start a season. I know the teams don't like it.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: It really isn't a pain in the neck. I know
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: the equipment managers hate it when you've got to travel
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: those guys over there, but it really it really interrupts
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: the end of training camp, right. It's the end of
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: training camp when you really have to make some big
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: decisions on we're going to keep on your club, who
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: you're going to send down. And then the other thing
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: that happens typically is those teams that go over there
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: when they come back, because they sort of start the
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: season a little early. Then they then they get like
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: a week or so off, and so the other teams
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: are then you know, hitting their stride after playing a
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: couple of games, and then you're jumping right back out there.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: So I think it's a disadvantage. I don't really think
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: it matters who goes over there. I know sometimes they
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: try to, they try to schedule certain teams with certain
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: players depending on what country they're going to because we
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: draw over there. But yeah, I don't I don't know.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, Sidney Crosby is a competitor. He'll go, He'll
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: go wherever they tell him to go. But I think
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: if he, if he was given the choice, he'd probably rather,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: you know, start the season at PPG Arena.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hey, listen. The only thing I'll say about
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: the topic is this, the NHL, I have to admit,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: was way ahead of the NFL on this that they
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: begained globalization many years ago, back in the seventies when
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: they had Russia and they began to do all these
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: other international purmans. The NFL ended up catching on a
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: lot further. So, Yeah, the NHL that started laid out
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: the groundwork the NFL. The NBA is starting to get
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: much better at it. Once you had the Dream Team
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: and the Olympics and baseball walls. They're a little bit
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: far behind on the APL. But I'm would you I
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: may interrupt the season a little bit. I still like
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: the idea of two teams going out there trying to
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: show their best talent to market the sport and for
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: no other reason, market some of your best players internationally.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: And that's where I'll go with it.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: George, I feel closely aligned with what Scott just said
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: than you, Mike. I think it is important for hockey
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: hockey as a global sport. As we all know, the
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: stars come from all over the globe to play hockey
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: in the NHL, and I know the Red Wings have
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: been there several times, especially when Sweden or Scandinavian countries
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: are involved.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: But I think it is good for hockey. I think
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: it's good for your product to advertise it more, and
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: I know those drawbacks, like you said, but certainly it's
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: better for the sport itself. I think to see the
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: NHL players, whether they go to Europe, whether they go
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: to another part of the world, to play. It's kind
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: of cool.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: It's cool, but I'm not doing the traveling.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Well, pen, when your team is going to Sweden, what
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: do you think.
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: I'm not surprised. Everybody has everybody needs to turn but
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: NFL is going to different Countrieswe is going to different countries,
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: so I'm not surprised if NHL moving this direction like
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: it's they want other countries learning the sport because a
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: lot of sports are into pickleball, soccer, whatever they're into.
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: They're just trying to get more sports into. This is
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: a brand new sport, so I don't know if Finland
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: knows anything about hockey, so that's why I think that's
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: why they're going to induce it. So that's my take
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: on that. I'm proud of it, So.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Put it on your calendar people, Penguin Predators in Sweden
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: on the Global Series of Ever fourteen sixty. Of course,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: we start have to get to the Stanley Cup playoffs.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know who the final champions are going to be,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: but it won't be those. Nevertheless, there more things I
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: want to get to. Kevin Adams confirmed that Lindy Ruffell
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: return his head coach of the Buffalo Savers next season,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: the last year on his current time deal. Mike, were
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: your thoughts about Lindy ruffin where the Savers are going.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: He's a good coach, but I think they need a
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: better management team. Yeah, that's the real problem. Nothing against
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Kevin Adams, but you got to put into the position
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: with no experience, right. They went through several other ms
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: before they even got to Kevin Adams, and none of
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: them seemed to be anything worked out, and they're they're
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: in a They're in tremendous trouble there, because is the
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: sport has expanded into all these nice places like Nashville
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: and Dallas and Anaheim and Florida and South Florida. When
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: you're not winning in a place like Buffalo, not a
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: place that theree agents desire to go to. Taxes in
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: New York State are very high. I know it's close
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: to the Canadian border, but there's a lot of Canadian
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: guys that would rather play in the sunshine of Florida
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: than play in Buffaloe. So I think they got to
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: get their act together and starts with their management before
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: they worry about who the coach is.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Ye, Wendy Ruff is in a thankless situation. He really
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: has had good success there before. The only thing I'm
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: going to add to this, and I'll turn it around
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: to you guys, is number one, Terry mcgol has done
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: a good job with his football team, the Buffalo Bills.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: A boy, he has really lagged on the hockey area.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, George, Yeah, yeah. The old saying I can'ts
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: got nine lies.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: My goodness. The Sabers are going back to the to
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: the past again. Uh Rough, I believe with sixty four
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: or something like that, and uh, you know Don Granado,
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: he couldn't get him in then, what is it thirteenth
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: straight years? Now? I think their their draft is is
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: much higher than even Detroit's. But Lindy Rough obviously was
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: well looked upon back of the days when the Sabers
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: were cranking out the the wins and you know, having
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: more excitement that they have generated lately. So I don't know,
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: sometimes they go back to someone like that to have
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: a little bit of magic rub off. But we'll see
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: what happens. Uh. You know, and he's sixty four, he's
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: not old old and he knows the situation there he's in.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: But yeah, they got they gotta do something. They got
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: through that franchise into a winning team. I'm winning a
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: playoff contender. I mean, it's overdue for Buffalo, great city
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: for hockey.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: I agree, as he's got the last word on this
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: one more topic. And then Mike Santos is gonna give
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: us an update on hockey operations. LLC, which is the
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: official sponsor of the Thursday night edition of The Sports Exchange,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: of course, might give me a whole lot more when
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: we go out to brunch on Mother's Day. And while
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: I go ahead, before I turn over to Bendman, I
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: want to wish every mother out there alive gone, and
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: fathers who are taking the mother role very happy Mother's
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Day out there. Our thoughts are there my Grandma Sophie, obviously,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: I love you, my mom Shilah, and the rest of
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: the mother figures that affected my life, but those two,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: and I can't forget Petty. I'm think my mother in
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: law I didn't have a long time. But you want
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: to talk about a woman who was a chap Oh
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: my goodness, Katie, that was raised right? All right? Penson,
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: go ahead, and then we'll let George Mike talk about
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: their mothers after we do this final topic, Go ahead, benmin.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: Any time you're in a city and you do not
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: go to the playoffs, you don't get close to the
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: Stalley Cup and Super Bowl, World Series anything, the fans
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: start getting itchy, they start getting irritated. Then you start
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: getting riots and flip and now they so anytime in
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: Buffalo you've got to get something in order. Me I
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: love it because they're in the Eastern Conference so they
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: can stay on the bob what they want. But Buffalo
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: fans just be patient. Every team goes through this. I
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: don't know how long it's gonna take. I'm going through it.
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: So hopefully you'll make the turn and make the take
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: the torner corner. So just be patient and then we'll
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: see what happens.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, our final topic of the night, by the way,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to do right now, I'm really curious
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: about the Washington Capital Store. Let's get here. No, we'll
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: give you some NHL updates as we speak. Right now,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Capitals are leading to Hurricanes to the Nothing and Minton
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Oil And that's sixteen forty three left in the third
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: and Minton Oilers take on the Vegas Golden Knights at
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: nine thirty pm. We'll talk about the Washington Capital because
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: they do represent the final topic, which is why I
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: decided to incorporate the score incomplete as it speaks. I
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: rarely do that, but when I'm segueing to the topic,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: this is exactly why I did it tonight. How bad
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: was the Boston Bruins season? Get this, When they walked
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: to the Washington Capitals at the end of the year,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: it was their ninth straight loss in the third longest
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: streak in their franchise history. The Boston Bruin's been a
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: dead last in the division and that rebuilt is going
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: to be unbelievable. So ninth straight losses for the Boston Bruins, like,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: it's totally unheard of.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: They made some really big mistakes and mistakes floral. First
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: of all, they've made mistakes with their coaching staff. Right,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: they let go of Bruce Cassidy. Right, we did a
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: terrific job there and again here is not happy complaining
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: about their ice time. They moved on from Cassidy. Cassidy
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: went to Vegas and won the Cup there its first year.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: Same thing. They bring in Jim Montgomery. You did a
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: great job, led them to the best record, not in
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: the league, but in the league all time, the best
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: record ever in the NHL as far as points, and
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: a year and a half later, the players aren't happy.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: They're grumbling. They got to Jim Montgomery and what does
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: he take. It takes the Saint Louis Blues from the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: scrap heap to the playoffs and a third overtime game
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: seven goal away from going to the next round. They
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: still don't have a coach. They haven't committed to Joe Stacko,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: who they put in there as the interim coach, So
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: that's probably number one problem. Number two, they have drafted horribly,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: starting in two thousand fifteen when they had three first
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: round picks and didn't land anybody other than Louis Debrusk,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: who is one of the malcontents right himself out of town.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: But they landed no NFL players on their roster from
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: three first round picks that year, and they haven't done
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: anything with the draft since then. Right next they had
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: a very good goaltending tandem and they screwed that up. Right,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: They wanted to trade one of them. That's fine, you
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: don't trade the guy first before you got the other
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: guy signed, right, They trade Almark to Ottawa, and then
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: they go and they say to swim In, hey, let's
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: do a new con. Let's do a contract for you.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: And Sam says, okay, that's great. I want eight million
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: a year, eight years and if you're not going to
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: give it to me, here's my number in Maine, I'll
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: be hanging out. And that's what he did, and he
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: forced their hand. They had no choice, right, So that was,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: you know, that was problem number three. They also signed
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: the kid I can't remember his name now, but the
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: kid that was basically banned from playing hockey because of
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: a bullying incident he had with a handicapped kid in
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: high school while he was playing in the United States
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: Hockey and he was suspended, and the Bruins went out
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: and signed him and gave him a big signing bonus
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: after he had been drafted by uh Well Arizona at
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: the time now Utah, and Arizona was told that he
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: wasn't allowed to play in the NHL. So I think
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: they're going to be special and they're going to sign
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: this kid. And the next day they get a call
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: from the NHL saying, I don't know what you did,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: but he's not playing in the league.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're just they've they've been a comedy of
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: errors on the management with their management team. And I
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: know Don Sweeney, I know him very well. I like him,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: he's a good person. But in the last i'll call
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: it ten years, he's just lost his mind. And you
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: just can't make those kinds of mistakes. Those are major mistakes.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: And I just gave you four of them. You can't.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: You just can't do that and expect that your team's
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: going to go, you know, rolling along.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: I have the Prunes are in for a really, really,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: really long So that's all I'm gonna say about George.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, And by the way, I'll put J. D.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: White's Caesar up there. I think this is classical. At
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: some point, I'm going to use it next week. I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: just don't know where I'm going to use it. But
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I should be able to sue my teams like that
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: one Tel Ralph fan forursuing the NFL about the George.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: That's comical. I'll leave it out there. It's there for
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: everybody to see that stuff.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: J D.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: Whitet, you'll be coming a fuld cyber RUSSI out in
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the text area. That's enough to join us plan to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: heavy on what's going on. I also heard over to
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: George and then we'll go out there and wrap it
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: up with.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: I think I think Mike, Mike summed it up perfectly,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: all the things, the mistakes one by two, by three,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: by four, and on and on. And you know, I
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: have a lot of respect for the hockey writers in America,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: and uh one of them is Helena Saint James that
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: covers Detroit, and she says, you're never going to succeed
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs if your goaltending it is not at
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: least ninety or above percent. And what you said, Mike
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: was so true. Jeremy Swayman twenty nine wins, I'm sorry,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: twenty two wins, twenty nine losses this year, a three
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: point one two goals against a save percentage of a
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: point eight nine two and then his backup his percentage
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: was point eight nine three. All I can say, you've
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: got to have great golden and I know it's not
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: all their fault. There's a defense in front of them.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: But the fact of the matter is, as Boston has slipped.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: A part of it is exactly what you said, mister
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: Santos when you talked about the goltending, uh mix up fiasco,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: whatever you want to call that with the Boston Bruins,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: and there's so many other things that happened wrong, but
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: that goltending really was bad.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: By the way Ottawa made the playoffs.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah right with.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Well, don't worry. Wait, just imagine what we're going to
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: be talking about next week month, Mike, when it's just
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: you and I. We're going to really go through these
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: topics like you wouldn't believe and I today, I expect
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: the chat room to be lively because we're going to
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: be giving one update to another on the Stanley couple
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: of teething for next week show. I think Mike and
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I will just be the two of us, all right,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: and then you have final word on them.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: The moment you let Russek go, that's when things go down.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: And when you let Brad Marsham walk, that's bad too.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: Brad Marchan was a east of a defensive player. He
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: would knock you out and probably knock some teeth out.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: He would knock you into the next county or next
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: state over, that's how hard he hit. But you gotta
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: have good goaltending. And that's why I left out the
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: Tampa Bay uh Way named Felaski was horrible and the
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: Florida Panthers first round. I thought when I said on
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: this show or fire up one of them, that Filski
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: was gonna be the difference maker, and he didn't show
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: up for that. But you gotta have good goog tending
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs, and Boston Bruins got to get that
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: rustic guy back. He's got to find that rassic in
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: the Boston back and then you gotta find good defenders.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: So I'll take your man off of Mic for a
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: quick second before we turn over to Mike. Number one.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: When you let Linus Omark go and then you leave
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Swiman by himself, he just went out there and just
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: self destructive because you gave all this other guy the leverage.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Bad move with saw the end results towards Drake. Carn
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: came with the numbers of to day what we're doing.
• 1:08:01
