  Speaker 1: Girl in the NHL in descripted how you doing man, good?
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: Thank you for having me.
• 3:05
  Speaker 9: Guys.
• 3:06
  Speaker 10: You've represented US now for a couple of tournaments, say
• 3:11
  Speaker 10: the least. What was different about this team? For you
• 3:14
  Speaker 10: and and and what was just the feeling in that
• 3:16
  Speaker 10: locker room from jump?
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: You know, the two other teams I was on had
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: a lot of success. We went, I believe six and one.
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: We won about eight games in a row and then
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: lost in the Semish. The other team we went undefeated
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: to the Semis. So the difference about this team was
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: we kind of got, you know, beat pretty good early
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: on in the tournament by Switzerland, and then we were
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: up five to one against Norway and we ended up
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: having to win in overtime.
• 3:44
  Speaker 11: They scored five straight the third.
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: So after that game, we kind of we had a
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: lot of changes, We worked on some stuff in our system,
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: made a couple of lineup changes, and as a group,
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: we kind of bought in and it was just nice
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: to have a wake up call and kind of get
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: your teeth kicked in by Switzerland early on, and we
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: had we had a lot of veterans that proud and
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: we weren't going to be another US team that lost
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: in the quarters or you know, so we were really
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: proud of how we bounced back after that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: How about Tage Thompson's overtime winning the celebration after that,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: how sweet was that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it gives me goosebumps when you say it, like
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: at my neck.
• 4:15
  Speaker 10: It's the greatest.
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: It's the greatest feeling I've had in the game. Uh,
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: you know, I I I've lost a lot in the
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: semi finals or finals in my career in junior and
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: a very good league and the NHL last year we lost,
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: so it's to get on the other side of it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: Was such a great feeling. I was I was up next,
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: I was changing for him, so I was sitting kind
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: of trying to focus, uh, trying to figure out I
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: thought Filla was coming out. So I was like, oh,
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: this is gonna be a tough task on the big ice.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: And uh, someone one of the coaches, I believe it
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: was night Or was right behind me and he just said,
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: you know, f and finish it. And I was like,
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: please finish it. So when when when you know, when
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: I heard him yell first it was I couldn't get
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: over the boards fast enough. It was a great, great feeling.
• 4:58
  Speaker 10: You guys did such a classy move at the end,
• 5:00
  Speaker 10: Uh with the Johnny goodrou jersey.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Was that something planned?
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: And and you know it was a guy that's smaller
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: in stature but plays a big game. You know, what
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: did Johnny mean to you and what did that moment
• 5:12
  Speaker 10: mean to you as a whole.
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't believe it was planned. I believe Zach
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: went and got it himself. And when he when he
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: brought it out, the captains we got around, we said,
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: let's take a picture with it with the trophy. Awesome,
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: And we went up there and I remember him telling
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: the guy who was representing the IHF that, you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: we're not we're not taking a normal photo. We're gonna
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: have the jersey, and uh, you know, it was pretty cool,
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: pretty special to be a part of that. It's just
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: Johnny was, you know, kind of embodied USA Hockey. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: think USA Hockey's really trying to change what the World Championships.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Means to a lot of players.
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: It's, you know, used to be kind of a vacation
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: and you go over there and you play and whatever
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: happens happens. Now it's, you know, we want a lot
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: of guys, you know, our top end players to go
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: and try to win each year and and be a
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: powerhouse and and uh, you know in international hockey. So
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: he was one of the guys that would always go
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: when he wasn't in the playoffs. And for me personally,
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: I met him on my tour. I was fifteen years
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: old and Jerry Yorke brought him out of their locker
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: room to introduced him to me, and it was like
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: seeing you know, my idol.
• 6:12
  Speaker 12: It was it was unbelievable.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: He's one of the first guys at that size that
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: you know, undersize used to be five nine, five ten
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: and I'm five, you know, seven five eight, and that's
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: what he was. So to see somebody at that stature
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: dominate college hockey and then the NHL, it just gave
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: me so much motivation. And uh, you know, he was
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: a special, special player.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It is BIZ, nasty ladies and gentlemen. Paul Albert Bissonette,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: It's great to see him.
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: Man love the middle name and definitely loud, you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: not a lot of not a lot of intelligent information
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: coming on my mouth, but definitely loud.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a great point you make, Biz, because it's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a lot harder than people think when they ask you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to be candid, be outspoken, be authentic.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: These are all words that TV executives use, and.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yet if you truly are going to be as you said,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you're stravling that line all the time.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when meeting everyone fired, this is the question.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: We don't know what's the I want to see. The
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: closest came meeting fired. But what was a comment that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you said that They're like, eh, biz, next time, maybe
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: refrained from.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: That, oh man.
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: And there was a lot I called in a decent
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: amount in my first year, first year and a half
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: with T and T, and uh yeah, I was just
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: like okay, like sorry, like you know, like I don't
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: really know what to say, Like I'm just kind of
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: an idiot, and I'll just kind of say what I'm thinking.
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: So that's kind of how I was on the podcast
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: and still am obviously because barstool doesn't give a shit.
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: Uh So yeah, I just uh, I can't remember anything
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: in particular. I did obviously get some calls with the
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: Babcock stuff where they were like, hey, like what's going
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: on here? And I'm like, listen, I go. I've had
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: players reach out. I'm talking on behalf of the players.
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: I understand if you have to let me go, but
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: this is what I'm hearing, and I'm sticking to my guns,
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: and they road they stuck by me and I'm forever
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: grateful and uh, that was probably the most chaos that
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: we went through in like a week, week and a half.
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: Columbus should be thanking me. They got their guy. Now,
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: they got Dean Evanson. There they're they're a wagon. Now
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: they're scary to watch Man. They're a hell of a team. Yeah,
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: no more bab cut see you later. Yeah, that's the side.
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: What was that I want to ask you before? What
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: was that audition? Like, do you remember your audition for TNT. Yeah.
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: I went in and it was Liam and Ace and
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: we just they kind of just were throwing softballs and
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: you know, you just kind of do your thing and
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: you leave and you don't know. I thought it was
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: a joke when I got the email to go for
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: the audition, I thought it was we got a prankster.
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: Foley is one of Yan's and Wits buddies from Boston,
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: so he's really good about pranking players. Like when Yans
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: was playing in Florida, he was texting x Flad acting
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: as the team chef and that he was going to
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: come over and cook this meal for like twelve of
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: the guys, like six players are excuse me, six of
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: the guys and their spouses, so everybody obviously was in
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: on it other than x Flad, and he's calling and
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: canceling this whole like, you know, steak lobster dinner as
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: he's hosting it at his house and x Flad's freaking out.
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: So this prankster guy is notorious for messing with the players.
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: So when I got the email, I was I was like, Okay,
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: this is Foles for sure messing with me, and then
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: obviously it ended up being true. So so yeah, I
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: don't know how I got into the full story, but
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: basically he's a prankster and it was the real deal,
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: and I went for the tryout and it all worked out.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Tusks up, Tyson Nash. Great to see you man, Thanks
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: so much for the time.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: It's funny sooni as I talked to enforcers and tough guys, right,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Jody Shelley's too grimston and off the ice, it couldn't
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: be nice write sweethearts, much like yourself, engaging, funny, chrumming
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: guy on the ice, classic instigator, great shit disturber.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: What's the most you ever pissed off an opponent?
• 9:43
  Speaker 11: Oh my god, I'll never forget.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: We were in the playoffs against the San Jose Sharks,
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: and Tony Twist was retired at the time, and he
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: was back in Saint Louis and Kelly Chase came up
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: to me and Tony Twist's as wife was apparently playing
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: cards in the room and when they were in sam
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: or in Saint Louis the game before, and you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: I kind of embellished the whole story, and I'm like,
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: oh my god, Tony Twist's wife was in your guys'
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: hotel room playing cards, So I'll never forget I think
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: it was I think it was Owen Nolan. I said, hey,
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: I'm just telling you. I know you and Twist he
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: used to be good buddies, but he is going to
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: absolutely murder you and everyone that was in that hotel
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: room with his ex wife.
• 10:33
  Speaker 11: I go, I don't know what happened in that hotel room,
• 10:35
  Speaker 11: but I was. I know it was nothing good.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: And Tony Twist is going to lose his fucking mind
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: on you. And I mean, Tony Twist is one of
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: the toughest guys to ever play. Literally every face off
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: for the first twenty five minutes of the hockey game,
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: one of them came out there and was like, we
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: did nothing with her. We didn't touch her, we were
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: just playing cards. She's a friend of ours. I don't
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: know what you're talking about. What's going on?
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: This is a joke.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: And literally after the game, the second the game ended,
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: I had about twenty text messages on my phone and
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: calls from Twister going what did you do? What did
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: you say? So I know they went on the other side.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: They were on their phones going we didn't do anything.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: This is a total joke, National stirn up Ship and
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: like literally they couldn't even focus on the hockey game
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: that night.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: This is the same.
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: We absolutely drummed them, but.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: We ended up losing the series, but sadly, but oh
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: my god, it was so it was so freaking funny.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: But Kelly Chase just wound me up, set me out
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: there with all this material, and it didn't take much
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: to stir them up.
• 11:38
  Speaker 10: What's the what's the best chirp you've heard thrown your way?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: Man, I always want, I got yeah.
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: I always Brady called me a keith yandle wannabe and
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: I was I was in Arizona, I was dying.
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: Good.
• 11:57
  Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I mean I've heard them all right.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, I I have I have a nose that
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: kind of gives it away. It's like a big potato,
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: like his focus regard in the shower. But I remember
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Jason Strudwick one time he goes, hey, I heard Larry
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Kolow offered you a million dollars or a nose full
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: of nickels. I mean, it's pretty bad when your whole
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: team right on your bench is laughing at you and
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: laughing with the other team.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: So it was, yeah, it was. It was a pretty
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: good one.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. Steve Leaevey Leaves is great to see him.
• 12:29
  Speaker 12: Man, Hey, how you doing, guys. Good to be with you,
• 12:32
  Speaker 12: Thanks for having me on.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: We talk about the sort of the the heyday that you.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, you've been a part of so many great
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: eras of ESPN, but for me that this is Sports
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Center ads through the years are just so incredible, so iconic,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: and you, of course star in a great one with
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: a younger Alexandra Ovechkin where he kind of plays a
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Russian spy. So I can't speak to how well the
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: ad has aged over the years, but it's a classic.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you get asked about it frequently. I'd love
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: to hear any stories about being on the with Ov
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: and Semon Varlamov of course, Yeah, make that ad.
• 13:09
  Speaker 12: So that's been that's gotten controversial by the way, Yeah
• 13:12
  Speaker 12: because of what you mentioned, Yeah, what's going on in
• 13:14
  Speaker 12: the real world. And we did run it back a
• 13:18
  Speaker 12: few times recently, you know, after he went for the chase,
• 13:20
  Speaker 12: going for the chase and gets the goal. So the
• 13:22
  Speaker 12: two quick stories about that and man, were you on campus?
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: Would you have been on campus that day?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Now one of the day I did see a match
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: in the one day. Yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 12: So they wound up building the set on our basketball court.
• 13:33
  Speaker 12: It looks like it's a copy room right with the
• 13:36
  Speaker 12: copy machine and files and stuff like that. But because
• 13:40
  Speaker 12: of the goof of having to have him go through
• 13:42
  Speaker 12: the roof the ceiling there, they couldn't do it in
• 13:45
  Speaker 12: a real building. They had to set make a set
• 13:48
  Speaker 12: outside and rig the contraption there. And because of the
• 13:53
  Speaker 12: contraption and building a set outside of the basketball court,
• 13:56
  Speaker 12: I was told it was the most expensive This is
• 13:59
  Speaker 12: Sports Center promo ever made because of all those things
• 14:02
  Speaker 12: and the other really cool thing and this not surprise anyone.
• 14:05
  Speaker 12: We had a stunt double for Ovi. We had a
• 14:09
  Speaker 12: real stunt, double full Uni pads, same height, weight with
• 14:14
  Speaker 12: color hair at the time, all that stuff standing right there,
• 14:18
  Speaker 12: and OVI refused to let him in. Ob I do
• 14:21
  Speaker 12: my own stunts.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: He's Tom Cruise. He figured that out, you know that
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: kind of thing.
• 14:24
  Speaker 12: So uh, those were the two really cool parts about
• 14:27
  Speaker 12: that commercial. And and people still come up randomly, like
• 14:31
  Speaker 12: I get a text from Neil Everett out of the
• 14:33
  Speaker 12: blue Ji Perferson and the only line is late night filings.
• 14:37
  Speaker 12: You know, like it because that's.
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: What he says.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: He adds the s for some reason, you know, like
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: it's just it was.
• 14:43
  Speaker 12: It was a classic.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Those are fun to be in.
• 14:45
  Speaker 12: Guys anchors like myself, not like myself. Other anchors would
• 14:50
  Speaker 12: jump over themselves to get in the building when they
• 14:53
  Speaker 12: knew they were filming. Like guys would come back from
• 14:56
  Speaker 12: vacations early. I don't care there was their day off.
• 15:00
  Speaker 12: They don't care. They're coming to work because they wanted
• 15:02
  Speaker 12: to be in these things. It was so such a
• 15:04
  Speaker 12: big deal. And the last one I'll tell you about
• 15:06
  Speaker 12: this the athletes did not get paid. Ladanian Tomlinson through
• 15:13
  Speaker 12: flew coast to coast on his own dime because he
• 15:18
  Speaker 12: wanted to be in one and that would be really
• 15:19
  Speaker 12: cool with the mailbox. You gotta talk about the story
• 15:21
  Speaker 12: about this one.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hit it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a goof with Ladanian Tomlinson is we're in
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: the mail room and he wears the shaded shield the
• 15:30
  Speaker 12: visor in his helmet. Okay, So he's putting the mail
• 15:33
  Speaker 12: in all the wrong places and all the wrong slots.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: So I'm like, hey, lt you know what.
• 15:37
  Speaker 12: Are you doing. That's not for me, that's not me,
• 15:40
  Speaker 12: that's not me, and that's oh he's sorry. And they
• 15:42
  Speaker 12: keeps putting it in the wrong thing. So that's how
• 15:44
  Speaker 12: it ends. But his PR person is right there, as
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: they often are, and the PR person's a young person,
• 15:51
  Speaker 12: I guess, and they don't really get the goof and
• 15:54
  Speaker 12: they're pleading with the director and the producer. He can
• 15:57
  Speaker 12: do one with his helmet off, okay, And everybody's like, well,
• 16:01
  Speaker 12: then he's just an idiot.
• 16:02
  Speaker 13: Why would he be putting the mayor The whole goof
• 16:05
  Speaker 13: is because it's the shaded shield right that he can't
• 16:09
  Speaker 13: see what if he has no helmet on, why would
• 16:12
  Speaker 13: he be putting it in the wrong Then he's just
• 16:13
  Speaker 13: an idiot. And so the producer to try to please
• 16:18
  Speaker 13: this PR person does.
• 16:20
  Speaker 12: A whole other spot. You know, just at that second,
• 16:23
  Speaker 12: it's not funny. It never aired. I'll be surprised there
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: was even filming the camera at the time just to
• 16:28
  Speaker 12: sort of appease that PR flack at that moment. But
• 16:32
  Speaker 12: those who are blast to do and again, same deal,
• 16:35
  Speaker 12: I'm not funny. Like they gave us the words to say.
• 16:38
  Speaker 10: He was my landlord when I had hives Brad Richardson,
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: ladies and gentlemen.
• 16:44
  Speaker 14: Thanks, I was going on intro jay, Oh my gosh.
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: When you guys won that cup? What's her from that
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: kind of cup run? And the post you know, the
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: celebrations afterwards, what was your favorite like celebrity meat that
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: you got in like and favorite celebrity story from that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: You don't have to get into the details because leave
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: it for the birds, but like was your celebrity link.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Up like one quick one?
• 17:06
  Speaker 14: Like I mean, we had a lot of people hanging
• 17:07
  Speaker 14: around like, which was really fun and it was cool
• 17:11
  Speaker 14: to have. Like it was cool because you know, they
• 17:12
  Speaker 14: come down and like they want to like say hi,
• 17:14
  Speaker 14: do you after and it made you feel good and
• 17:16
  Speaker 14: that everyone was caring about it. So much, but probably
• 17:18
  Speaker 14: the one it was kind of like a weird night.
• 17:19
  Speaker 14: We had a copy, We had a party and like
• 17:22
  Speaker 14: just a kind of a friends and family party, and
• 17:24
  Speaker 14: then we were going to this place called Beacher's Madhouse.
• 17:26
  Speaker 14: It's at the Roosevelt and really cool spot back in
• 17:29
  Speaker 14: the day, and we're walking in. We had David Beckham
• 17:31
  Speaker 14: with us, and he was like, we're just shooting the ship,
• 17:33
  Speaker 14: walking in me and him, and he doesn't. They don't
• 17:36
  Speaker 14: let him in, No, I swear to God. So I'm like,
• 17:40
  Speaker 14: what the hell's going on? We walk in like just
• 17:42
  Speaker 14: like we're David Beckham, but he gets shut down. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 14: couldn't believe it, so that I had to get David
• 17:46
  Speaker 14: Beckham in the in the Beach's Madhouse.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: That's nice.
• 17:49
  Speaker 14: So that was like, you know, feather in my cap.
• 17:51
  Speaker 14: I'm like, fucky, you know, I'm feeling pretty good tonight.
• 17:53
  Speaker 14: But it was it was kind of like that we
• 17:55
  Speaker 14: It was that was a funny one, but there were
• 17:57
  Speaker 14: so many great people. I'm actually staying at Roosevelt tonight.
• 18:00
  Speaker 14: So I'm a little reminiscent kicking in right now.
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: I mean, so when we played you guys that year,
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: I'm i always waited out in the hallway before we
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: went on the ice before every period. So I'm out
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: there before we go out for the first period. So
• 18:13

• 18:36

• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do quick, let's do it quick.
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: So I was like sitting there, I'm like taking a
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: picture and I'm like, you don't even realize. That's what's
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: cool about the Kings is that like the celebs are
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: such fans and like these guys that are larger than
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: life characters like Beck who was an athlete, or these
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: die hard hockey fans because of you guys.
• 18:59
  Speaker 14: Yeah, no, you're right, that's that's a funny story.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: But you would have got in trouble for that.
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: I'm sure if they would stop, darn would have.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Saw that you would him be playing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: He is currently enjoying a career season for the upstart
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Blue Jackets. He's not only the conversation with the Norse Trophy,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: but he's also the conversation for the Heart Trophy.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Zach Wrensky, Welcome to NHL and SCRIPTO.
• 19:16
  Speaker 16: Great to see it, man, Yeah, thanks for having me on, guys,
• 19:18
  Speaker 16: I appreciate it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: I wanted to ask a little bit, you know, going
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: back to the start of your career in Columbus and
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: you know, obviously I'm sure you've had to tell a
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: million Tortorella stories, but I just wanted to ask more
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: on the note of like, what's one thing that you
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: kind of learned from torts that you're like, not many
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: people know about him, that that's why he's had such
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: a long career as a coach in the NHL.
• 19:41
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, I think the thing with torts, and
• 19:43
  Speaker 16: it definitely gets mixed up in the media a little bit.
• 19:47
  Speaker 16: Is just how good of a person he is. I
• 19:49
  Speaker 16: don't think people understand that. Can you talk about a
• 19:54
  Speaker 16: family guy or a guy that wants you to be
• 19:55
  Speaker 16: around your your family like he's he's the one. He
• 19:58
  Speaker 16: gives you so many days off just to be home
• 20:00
  Speaker 16: with you know, your your wife and your kids and
• 20:04
  Speaker 16: whoever there. And my first year in the league. Actually
• 20:10
  Speaker 16: this is not a sad story, but it kind of said.
• 20:12
  Speaker 16: But my first year in the league, we were I
• 20:14
  Speaker 16: think five days away from playing my first game at
• 20:16
  Speaker 16: home in Detroit at Joe Louis. My grandfather passed away,
• 20:19
  Speaker 16: and I told towards that and he's like, go home.
• 20:21
  Speaker 16: I go home and skate by yourself, Like we don't
• 20:24
  Speaker 16: want to see you be around your family. So for
• 20:26
  Speaker 16: like five days he just gave him my year, didn't
• 20:29
  Speaker 16: didn't He called and checked in on me, but didn't
• 20:31
  Speaker 16: really care. He just trusted me, let me go home.
• 20:33
  Speaker 17: I was skating alone.
• 20:34
  Speaker 16: And then the first game at Joe Louis, he starts me,
• 20:37
  Speaker 16: you know opening and I haven't practiced with the team
• 20:39
  Speaker 16: at all, And I just think that goes a long
• 20:41
  Speaker 16: way right, Like he could have been he could have
• 20:43
  Speaker 16: been like, hey, once we land, you can go home
• 20:45
  Speaker 16: for a few hours or go home for the night.
• 20:46
  Speaker 16: But he was like, no, I'll get out of here,
• 20:47
  Speaker 16: like you don't need to be here. And that always
• 20:50
  Speaker 16: luck with me. My first year, I think I was
• 20:52
  Speaker 16: two or three months in a manhl career and that
• 20:55
  Speaker 16: was a moment for me where I just had a
• 20:57
  Speaker 16: lot of respect for him and that always luck with me.
• 20:59
  Speaker 16: And I feel like people don't see that side of him.
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah he doesn't.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: He doesn't get enough of it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: And you know, everybody kind of tells the funny stories
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: but never like what he's kind of how he's impacted guys.
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: But you know, I wanted to, you know, finally touch
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: on I know we touched on Johnny a little bit,
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: and you know, I've interviewed Adam Fantilly and then I've
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: also interviewed man Giapane, and you know, we kind of
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: asked just about at the end of the interview, like hey, listen,
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: you know, Johnny's gone but not forgotten, and we just
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: want to know more of like a lighthearted, like a
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: funny story that would give a little bit of insight
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: into Johnny and a cool memory that you have that
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: you've taken with you, you know, being around him a
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: little bit.
• 21:37
  Speaker 16: Yeah, No, there's so many good stories. Only play with
• 21:40
  Speaker 16: him for two years, and I thought I've played with
• 21:41
  Speaker 16: him my whole career, from sitting across fromhim at the
• 21:44
  Speaker 16: card table on the plane calling everyone a.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: Donkey, and.
• 21:50
  Speaker 16: You know what, Like my first year, he actually used
• 21:52
  Speaker 16: to drive me nuts because he would be the last
• 21:54
  Speaker 16: guy to show up to the rink and the first
• 21:56
  Speaker 16: guy to leave. And I was always like, like, why
• 22:00
  Speaker 16: is he doing this? And it was just because he
• 22:03
  Speaker 16: wanted to get home to his wife and kids. And
• 22:06
  Speaker 16: I think I've learned so much from that where now
• 22:09
  Speaker 16: like I don't go to the rink longer than I
• 22:10
  Speaker 16: have to be at the rink, yeah, And I feel
• 22:12
  Speaker 16: like more people should kind of take advantage of that.
• 22:16
  Speaker 16: Like there was times I'd sit at the rink and
• 22:18
  Speaker 16: be like, oh, I'm a pro, I'm just sitting here.
• 22:20
  Speaker 16: I'm at the rink for four hours, but I'm not
• 22:22
  Speaker 16: getting anything done. Yeah, And I think what I've learned
• 22:24
  Speaker 16: the most from john is like, go to the rank
• 22:27
  Speaker 16: and joy it. Be there for an hour or two
• 22:29
  Speaker 16: hours and do your stuff and and get what you
• 22:31
  Speaker 16: need to get and then get out of there, get
• 22:33
  Speaker 16: home and be around the ones that you love. And yeah,
• 22:36
  Speaker 16: I've learned. I think that's what I've learned the most
• 22:38
  Speaker 16: from him in that short amount of time. And honestly,
• 22:41
  Speaker 16: I think it's a big reason why I'm having success
• 22:43
  Speaker 16: this year too, is I'm not just spending hours at
• 22:45
  Speaker 16: the rink for no reason and thinking about hockey all
• 22:47
  Speaker 16: the time. And so yeah, no, I mean, he's he's
• 22:51
  Speaker 16: awesome and we miss him, but yeah, he's gone, never forgotten.
• 22:55
  Speaker 16: I love sharing stories on him and talking with the
• 22:56
  Speaker 16: guys about him.
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: That's such a cool story.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I love that. That's awesome.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: It works smarter, not harder, necessarily more efficiently, and obviously
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: family first.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: All right, it's certainly some great clips there.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick time out here and
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: we come back some fresh new content here. Mike Canuble,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: what was a fantastic career being around so many great players.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: We're talking the Red Wings in the late nineties. What
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: kind of impact those players had on him all the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: way up until playing with Wayne Gretzky the New York Rangers.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Mike Knuble is up next to an NHL inscripted after
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: this our special guest today, a fourth round pick seventy
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: six over brawl by the Detroit Red Wings and the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one NHL draft.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: He won the Stanley Cup with Detroit.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: We're going to collect tour and seventy eight goals and
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: five hundred and forty eight points in over one thousand games,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: one thousand and sixty eight to be specific, Red Wings, Rangers, Bruins, Flyers, Capitals.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: It is Mike Knuble. Mike, great to see you, man.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Oh good, that's good to be here, guys, thanks for
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: having me today.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Obviously an amazing journey that you have. I want to
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: go to when you arrive in Detroit. You win the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup as a rookie and a team where your
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: coach is Scotti Bowman. Your teammates are Steve Agerman, Nick
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: litchtrom Cirgei Federalf Brendan Shanahan, Larry Murphy, Eagor, Larryana and
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Slava Fatisa. How on earth did you handle all that
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: star power?
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's like eight or nine Hall of Famers there, right,
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: And that's the difference between the teams are constructed now
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: and and how they wear back in the day. Could
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: hord players like that even better? My first game was Detroit,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Colorado when the goalies fought, you know, when Patrick Wah,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Mike Vernon, we had that big brawl, Darren McCarty, Claude Lemieux.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: That was my first game. So I'm coming from Adarandack
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: about a year and a half in the American League,
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: maybe a year and two thirds in the American League,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: and that's my first game. So h they had some
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: history from the year before Chris Draper was hit from
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: behind by Claude Lemieux, and then I don't know, for
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: some reason, they picked my night, my opening nights, to
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: really settle everything, and so that was my well, you
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: know they always say what's your welcome to the NHL moment.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: I'm like, it smacked me in the face like first
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: first like ten minutes. So it was like, oh my god,
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: here we go. So it looked like an American League game,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: you know, it looked like a typical American game at
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: that point. But you know, you didn't see that much
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: in the NHL anymore.
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: Did you have any indication coming into the locker room
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: that that shit was about to pop off.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: You know, it was you know, I had you know,
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: I'm sure Ja, when you played your first game, you
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: got your own issues. You're like, you know, you're you're
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: like sitting there like what, I can't believe this is
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: happening right now, you know, And so I felt that
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: I think you felt some electricity in the building. And
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: then there were like a couple of fights quick, and
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: then I was like, okay, because they played the week
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: before and it was pretty quiet, and I think there
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: was still another game on the schedule, maybe in Colorado,
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: and then and then uh, Colorado went up like three
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: to one or four to one, and then of all
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: the guys, Peter Forsberg and Igor Larryanoff set it all
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: off in the second period and they got into it,
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: and then that's when the goalies came flying out and
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: it just went you know, and then the irony is
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Darren McCarty dragged Claude Lemieux around the ice, hit his
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: head off the boards like really and got like a
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: four minute rough four minute double minor roughing and then
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: scored the overtime winner to win the game. To boot
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: like we won five four or six five or something.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: So it was it was I think not only in
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: Detroit history, but I think in the NHL history. It's
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: a game a lot of people know. So I'm very
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: proud to have been a part of it. A small part,
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: got my eight minutes or whatever, but it was a
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: small part of it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Well, it's amazing if all those veterans that you guys mentioned,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: you know, who is the one that you felt Mike Again,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: it's hard when you're coming, as you said, you're focused
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: on yourself.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: They've got thrown issues. But was there any of those
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: guys you spelled specifically was healthy to you as far
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: as mentoring you was a memorable teammate?
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I think you know, you know, Steve Eisman was
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: a great captain at that time and for that team,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: you know, having Scotty as a coach, you know, you're
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: just trying not to I mean, he didn't talk to
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: you regardless, it didn't matter, but he didn't want him
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: to talk to you in a negative way. Probably if
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: he was gonna say something's gonna be negative. But you know,
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: so is Steve and Brennan. And then you know you
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: had Slava fatisof and Igor Larryanov. So those were guys
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: that you know, we're we're playing in the primes and
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: really good players, you know. Then he had guys like
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Joey Kosher, He had some secondary second tier guys, Joey Koser,
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Kurt Maltby, you know, dra Broscod We were kind of
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: all the same age, Darren McCarty and so we were
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: about the same age. And so they were a little
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: head of me in the development path there and their
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: spots in Detroit, which was fine. So I think I
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: was just learning and watching and trying to see how
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: to stick there. You know, it's one thing to get there,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: and then it's like, I want the career that those
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: guys were having, and that was it. So I mean,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: I think all you had to do was look around
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: the room and there was tons of influences everywhere. You
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: could pick out guys at various levels of very talent levels,
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: various talent levels, and then just pick any of them
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: and look at them. Things were going the right way
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: with that group.
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: What was one of the greatest pieces of advice you
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: got from one of those veterans early on in your
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: career that kind of stuck with you.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't know, I think I don't know if
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: it was advice, it's funny of all things. Bob Rowse,
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: while we were doing autographs signing, he said, you signed
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: your tax records with that autograph. He said, you got
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: to have two different autographs. That's like one thing. That
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: that would be like one statement, Bob Rouse, of all guys,
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: he said, I want to sign different autographs versus your
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: official documents. And I carried that with me to this day,
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: and I try and tell my kids that. I'm like, hey,
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: you know what I learned when I was a kid,
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: you know, when I was a young player. I'm like,
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: you have an autograph, and then you've got to have
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: like a real thing, like when you buy a house
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: or something. It's got to be different. And now these
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: days it's really easy to see these autographs. You could,
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: I mean you can scan them and copy them. His
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: harder back in the day, but that would be one
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: stupid I don't know why that sticks.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: They get stupid smart.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So it was non hockey. It was kind
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: of life related more than hockey. But Bob Rowse, of
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: all guys, isn't that funny? I don't know. That just
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: popped in my head. I wasn't even ready I was
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: kind of like.
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, that's so funny that that's the thing that
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: you go to. But I mean, I guess going back
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: to the you know, winning a Stanley Cup is a
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: rookie and being on that run. Just just talk about
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: that team, and you know what what separated you guys
• 28:58
  Speaker 10: from those other teams? You know you mentioned Scotty and
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: was it the X and o's or was it just
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: that you guys were just a tighter team than most.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think first and foremost. I mean, look,
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: you go up down that roster. So I got there
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: late ninety seven. I didn't get credit for any of that.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: I didn't play at all. You know, they beat Philly,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: I didn't get my name on the Cup. I made
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: the team. The next year, I got my name on
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: the Cup. So it was kind of going from from
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: ninety seven. You know, it was just the guys on
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: the team. That thing was on autopilot, you know, and
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: it's like once you know, I'm sure Paul Maurice could
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: say the same thing. He said once. I once my
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: team is rolling in the right direction and everybody in
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: the organization knows it, it's like get out of the way,
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: you know, you don't want to, you know, like Scotty
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: would tweak things, you know, and he'd poke a guy
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: here and there, and he'd do something, you know, just
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: to kind of keep the thing on the tracks. But
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: it was barreling down the tracks on its own. And
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: it was a very player led right, and so you
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: go through that roster, it's just so veteran led tons
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: of experience, NHL experience, international experience. I mean, the guys
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: had it all, you know, and then you know then
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: like Mike Vernon leaves for free agency after ninety seven,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: Chris Osgood steps in and then he wins it ninety eight,
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: you know, and so then there was layers two of
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: guys that would come in and you know, I think
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Brett Gil Chris came in, a guy or two, you know,
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: strikeing free agency, nice contracts. They leave after ninety seven
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: and they get a couple of guys, you know, for
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: the next year. And we had that tragedy with Vladimir
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: constantinof after the ninety seven thaying that was a big
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: inspiration kind of playing for him the whole year. So
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: it was just like one of those you know, when
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: the group's special, the group is special, and it's uh,
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: you just know it. You look around the room and
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: be like, man, there's some great players in here, and
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: it's up to us, you know, up to us to
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: mess this thing up or or go out and claim it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Well, speaking of special, Mike, it's amazing your career.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: You know, over a thousand games, play on all those
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: different teams, and we're an excellent player and we're around greatness.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: As we're discussing, this is an amazing stat You're the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: only player in hockey history to assist on goals by
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzkin Alexandrovechkin.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: First off, just just chew on that for a second.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Secondly, how was it personally seeing ob break Gretzky's gold record?
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was you know, it's kind of that that
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: little fact he brought up. We kind of started talking
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: last time, my brother and I just having beers and
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: just kind of you know, shooting the shit or whatever
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: and talking about stuff, and then I kind of took it.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: I was in Washington for an alumni, huge alumni national
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: alumni event, you know, celebrating their fiftieth year, and talking
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: to a guy in the media and he said, you
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: know what, I'm gonna, I gotta And then he called
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: me like a month later and he's like, I did
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: some digging, like you were right, you're the only guy
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: that played with those two, you know, and then you
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: bring the point thing, you know. So it was a
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: lot of fun. Like when Obi was chasing this thing down,
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: I thought it would be Christmas maybe this year, twenty
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: twenty five, you know. But he, you know, he got
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: to get the guy. Oh my god. I mean he
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: went out and got he dent back into the record.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: He attacked it right like he like was like a
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: shark and he hunted that record down. So it was
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: it was a lot of fun. And then it was
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: you know that it started to come out. I got
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: a little traction with that little factoid, you know. And
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: so I mean, I mean I was on Sports Center
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: for you know, I was I was on the main
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: sports like the real Sports Center asking me about this.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: So I had my little five minutes of coketail Ov
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: coattail fame there maybe the early part of April. So yeah,
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: it was fun to watch him, and it was you know,
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: and just the way he was attacking it, like he
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: was not backing into it, like he was going for it,
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: and that was really fun to watch him just going
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: to get it and his team. The guy's really rallying
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: around and they I thought they did a really there's
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: some high pressure. You know, that's the strong kid, the center,
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: like you know, that's that's a lot of pressure to
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: be like, you know, being the main pivot on a
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: guy who's chasing an immortal record, right, And so I
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: give those guys a lot of credit really pushing him
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: over the top too.
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: Well, especially a guy that needs it in his favorite spot,
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: you know the majority of the time, like you got
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: to put it there, like and you know he had
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: backstrom me. It's so many guys making good past him.
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: But what if you know, I know you weren't in
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: the room with them on the chase, but you know
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: you played with ov and you know you've probably heard
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: about his development as a leader and stuff like that,
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: And how was it playing with him, you know when
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: you did, and what was some of the things that
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: you noticed about him that were just that we're just
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: the separators.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: Well, he you know when I played with him, he
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: was he had all the international stuff, he had all
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: the individual stuff in the NHL, and you know his
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: rocketb Shard, and he was just that, you know, like
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: you know, really like coming into his own as a player.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: And then I was you're getting kind of worried. The
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: year I was there, I think my first year there,
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: we won the President's Trophy. George mcfeed loaded us up.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: We got like Jason Arnot, Scott Walker, Roman Hammer Lick,
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: we got some guys Scott Walker, some guys at the
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: dead deadline. So we had we had veteran, we had toughness,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: we had young star guys moving into their becoming stars.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: We had everything, and we and we and we messed
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: it up. And but so you're getting to this thing
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: you're like, well, I hope Ovi's gonna win one one day,
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: because you don't want to be that guy who's going
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: to set all these records and then not have one.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: I think I think him him winning the Stanley Cup,
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: you know, really set that was a huge box to check,
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: I think personally, and then you know, everything else was
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: kind of gravy after that. And then he's stayed on
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: a heater, I mean a couple of year long heater
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: to get close to within a shot of Wayne's record,
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: and then I think he really got hungry to go
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: after it. So I got a real kick out of
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: you know, when I was there, it was like him
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: backs from Green like they were young, and they were
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: the young guns, and they were out having a good time,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: and you know, you're like, you guys are good hockey
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: players and stuff, and you're great, you're going to be
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: great hockey players, and you're young and we've all been,
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: not necessarily me, but some of these younger guys, like,
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: you know, they're stars in the league, and they they
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: have a great time on the ice, they have a
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: great time off the ice, and it was really good
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: to see. It was really cool to see Ov like
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: become the family guy, you know, and even I brought
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: up that alumni thing we went to last fall, and
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: Nick Baxstrom's a father and they got kids around, so
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: it's pretty cool to see the evolution. And then OV
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: was really really enjoying celebrating with his kids and his family.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: I thought that was a really cool evolution of him
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: being and like the consummate pro and you know, like
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: a hockey dad and all that and enjoying it with
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: his family. I thought I was very happy.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: For him in that respect, no question about it. He
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: breaks Gretzky's record from Detroit. You went to the Rangers.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: That's where you played with Gretzky as a teammate. Kenny
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Albert was telling the story, you know, when Gretz is
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: around it because he's a great storyteller. He enjoys telling stories.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Everyone enjoys been ring wing Gretzky. The stories are legion.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Anything specific you can tell us about playing with grets.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was so sometimes you know, you know,
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: where you'd be on a bus, there's a little more
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: busting around these coats. He might bust to Jersey, you know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: the bus to the island, so you're on the bus
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: a little bit, you know, when you're playing with the Rangers,
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: even come back from an airport or something. And then
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: he would just hold court in the back, you know.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: And as the teaking in, you know, we had John
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: Muckler who was coaching there, McTavish, Hodey teaking in, Adam Graves,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: gretz booka boom, So there was this huge like Edmonton
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: connection right from back in the mid eighties. And then
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: you know, just Gretz would hold he would sit in
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: the back and Kevin Stevens would get him going, you know,
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: and then guys like that, he just they just tell stories.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Dave Simenko and you know, he thought he was a
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: really good player, and it's you know, he was this
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: big policeman for a long time. And talk about Marty McSorley, uh,
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: you know, and just the guys that he played with there,
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: and he just just how much he revered those guys
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: and how happy you know those times were in Edmonton,
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: and how much you know they were young guys and
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: and and and just the name dropping and you just
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: so as a young player, you know, you're pushed up
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: towards the front of the bus, but you know you're
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: constantly like turning backwards trying to you know, if there's
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: an empty seat, maybe a roll or two behind. He
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: kind of say, hey, can I sit right here? He's talking.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna listen to him talk a little bit. So,
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: you know, he just give him a couple of beers.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: And it's funny he was endorsing one type of beer
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: but really didn't like it, so he'd always have the
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: other kind of beer there. Then he'd be drinking those.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: So I'm not gonna tell names or anything, because I
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: do remember which ones it was, but but he was like,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: you know, he kind of uh, you know, it was
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: just great man. It was like storytime regrets on the
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: back of the bus. It was just priceless. And he
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: could speak freely. You know, he knew his role in
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: the public and how he had to talk. But that
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: need to speak a lot freer, you know, amongst the guys,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: which is great.
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: Talk about the kids. And I know you got some
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: athletes in the family.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Now, yeah, our oldest Cam won a national title there
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: at Western Michigan, did a five year thing. We worked
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: on his masters. Was a real plugger, like not a
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: ton of love, like not a big time score in
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: on the lineup, and then chose to go back for
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: a fifth year to work on his NBA start as masters,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: and then was named an assistant captain and really anchored
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: their fourth line. Their line scored I think the game winner.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: I think they got the game winner. He assisted on
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: the game winning goal. And in Saint Louis they BEATBU
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: in the final, and they had a real nice team
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: the second half of the year. They would just you know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: you know what it is, it's everybody's doing their job.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: You getting great goaltending scorers are scoring. Defenders are defending.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Sometimes at a one game series though, you can get
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: that weird bounce and something hits a skate and screws you.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: You know, you play best of five. Usually the best
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: team will kind of come to the top a little bit.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: But but they were. They got through and need a
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: great He's sorting through some pro options, probably be East
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: Coast level or something like that, and he's doing that.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: I have a daughter. We just moved. He could be
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: a second grade teacher in Chicago, which is a lot
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: of fun. We just moved to Chicago. And then our
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: younger guy, Cole is at Notre Dame. He's a Flyers
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: draft pick. Just got back from development camp and had
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: a nice second year of there. He's about to enter
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: his third year and really enjoys it down there. And that's,
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: you know, like two hours from us. So it's been
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: a lot. Every weekend, I'm pretty much on a college campus,
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: which is a lot of fun too.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: See it all takes you back to the day.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is that does it?
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: Did you ever have any thoughts, you know, being a
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: Michigan of having the kids be a legacy or it
• 38:44
  Speaker 10: was kind of you wanted them to kind of choose
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: their own route.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's you know, and things work, things work
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: out the way it was like Cam was originally in
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Michigan State and then you know, then you know, sometimes
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: things don't work out as well as they should. And
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: he went to then exchanged to Western uh and then
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Cole you know, he was in a different spot, like
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: he was a big time score in the usah all,
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: you know, and National Junior Player of the Year. So
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: I had too on two different paths and he was
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: lucky he had. He had basically could have gone anywhere
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: that he wanted to go. And so he's a smart kid.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: I think sometimes at Notre to Aim it's like no
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: joke and he probably you know, he's probably shaking his
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: head like this is no joke here. You know, there's
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: no place to hide. But we're very very proud of
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: that and that he wanted to go there and and
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: that experience there. So that's something that'll stay with him forever.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: So it's you know, any play and you know, he
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: got to play for Jeff Jackson there who stepped down.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: Now brock Sheen, his younger guy is going to take over.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: So it's kind of a new generation, so he gets
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: to lift through that too, or a new era. So
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: I know he's really looking forward to that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 10: Talk about your days at Michigan and do you get
• 39:51
  Speaker 10: a favorite Red Bearnson story.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot of them. Red Red was like,
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: you know, he was like a pro coach. He'd come
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: from Saint Louis. He took over a floundering program in
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: the late eighties where they were kind of a joke
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: on campus and kind of straighten them out. So by
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: the time we got there in the early nineties, he
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: had the ship going in the right direction. A ton
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: of guys end up playing the NHL. Coming through. There
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: are a couple of classes in front of me, to
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: the couple classes behind me. Brendan Morrison won a heisman
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: or I mean a heisman Hobe Baker. There they won
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: a national championship after I left. I mean Red Red
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: just the story, I mean, he's just the he's so
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: he was so stoic, you know, and so like a
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: guy you didn't want to let down, you know, the
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: stories wise, I mean, just the way he talked to
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: players and just telling an older guy if I could
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: trade you, you know, like he's like if I could
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: trade you. I trade you, right, you know, fucking now
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: and stuff like that. So and I and he met
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: it with love. He's like, I love you, but I
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: wish I could trade you. But you know what I mean.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: Like in college, they had to. You know, you knew
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: the kids couldn't go anywhere. You're stuck with each other.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: You're stuck with each other back in the day. So
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: if you didn't like a guy, you had no choice
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: but to either play him, said him, or to all
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: of them. And so you know, now it's easy for
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: everybody to leave and do that. But I'm sure Red
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: would you know, some of these coaches who are used
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: to it a certain way probably don't love this nil
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: stuff and probably don't love the fact that the you
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: know that as soon as it gets hard a player,
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: a player can leave, you know, and and so it's, uh,
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: I'm sure he wouldn't be thrilled like coaching. Uh, you know,
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: with all this nil and basically everybody's on restricted free
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: agent every year.
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: What what do you make of the HL you know,
• 41:38
  Speaker 10: the the new rule where you know, kids can kind
• 41:41
  Speaker 10: of bounce in between and they don't lose eligibility. Do
• 41:43
  Speaker 10: you find that you think that's gonna be a positive
• 41:45
  Speaker 10: thing or or you know, how do you foresee that
• 41:48
  Speaker 10: kind of moving forward.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be really interesting. I think it's
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: gonna be a couple of years before everybody figures out
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: how many of these guys, how many guys you can
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: take if guys are ready. I know a lot of
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: guys I played with in major junior that kind of
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: quit school in tenth grade. There might be a few
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: kids now who like kind of a man, I really
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: screwed off in high school and now it's gonna I
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: really love to go to college, but it's kind of
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: biting me in the ass. And certain schools have are
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: still super high like acceptance terms, you know, and they
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: can cut some corners to get you in, but at
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: the end of the day, you've got to be eligible.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: I think what Penn State pulled off yesterday or the
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: other day, you getting adding the shafer kid, you know
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: with the nil and getting them to come to college
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: route like Macklin Celebrini. So now you have the high
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: high you're not getting like mid to early first rounders.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: You're getting the top picks for going junior to come there.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: And so the CHL has got to be like, this
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: isn't you know, this isn't great either. And I know
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: some higher picks who haven't signed NHL deals are saying, well,
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: do I go back? Do I have a chance to
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: make the NHL. If I have a chance to make
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: the NHL roster, do I sign an entry level deal?
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: Or if I'm close, do I just do a year
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: college and then go for it the next year?
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: And so I think it adds It adds a lot
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: of questions in there. And then you know, if a
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: kid comes out of the college route as an eighteen
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: year old, and then do you send them if you
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: are they American League eligible? Now they don't have to
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: go back to junior because they're going out of college.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: If they want to sign, say Christmas or something. There's
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: so many variables still, and then it's it's crazy, but
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: I think it'd take a couple years to really shake out.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to ask you with the capitals. You
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: had dental surgery on camera part of HBO's Oh yeah,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: what was that experience?
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: Like, well, I think it started in Atlanta. We're playing
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: down in Atlanta and I'm standing next to the left
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: post or something. I'm on the ice. Eric Fair, one
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: of the younger guy, you know, he's a first round er,
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: takes like a bad angle shot, like no chance of
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: going in, and it's just like I'm standing there and
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: it hits me in the chin, you know, and it
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: kind of knocks on my teeth, and I'm like, ah,
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: you know, I was like son of a you know, like,
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: I'm like, you have no chance that shot. That shot
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: has no chance going in. You got to shoot it
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: head high, you know, and it hits me right in
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: the face. So anyway, they bracking me together in Atlanta.
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: I remember the doctor went to Mesi and I went
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: to Michigan. So I got my mouth open. He's bracketing
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: me up talking about Michigan. I'm like, uh huh, uh huh,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: you know. But so yeah, so anyway, they you know,
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: I go back and they put a plate in down here,
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: they cut down, they put a plate in, and then
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: I was all wired together. I think maybe that clip
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: I was going to get him off or something, or
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: they were looking at him or going to get these
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: brackets off. And yeah, I mean it's good filler for
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: the show. It's kind of interesting obviously, shows what the
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: players go through a little bit and and you know,
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: nobody likes being the dentist chair anyway, not even for
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: a cavity. But then he get all these brackets taken
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: off and see see if your chin's broken or not anymore.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: It was, uh, it was good filler and and uh yeah,
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: the show was a lot of fun. I think it
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: was a really good time. I think like we stunk,
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: We're at the bottom, and then like we were going
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: like this and then Pittsburgh was already on top and
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: coming then we met in the middle. It was it
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: was it was a really good show. I'd have to
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: watch it again. But Bruce got famous for his f bumps,
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: you know, you know all the one which, yeah, people
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: ask about it. I'm going he wasn't even mad. He
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: was just using it like very. He's just like, come on,
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: like just very guy. You always just using you know,
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: the fuck is very you know, And I said, we
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: all use it like that, so it's it's it wasn't
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: even that mad. He was just kind of encouraging us.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: It wasn't that bad.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Exactly, but in the positive way. Yeah, last one for me.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Thornton, what kind of team it was? He like
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: relationship there in Boston.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Joe, Joe always hold dear to me. Because I
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: got to Boston, I was kind of a third line plugger.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: He was playing with Glenn Murray and Sergey Sampson Off.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: Sergey Samson off ended up breaking his wrist or something.
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: They auditioned everybody every forward and they finally got to
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: me and I ended up clicking with those two, and
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: Joe and Glad changed my career. So Joe Thornton has
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: a spot in my heart for till the day till
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: the day I die. He and Glenn because they gave
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: me about ten more years in the league. So happy
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: that he got elected to the Hall of Fame. It
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: certainly deserved. So Joe was really coming to his own.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: I think he had his first one hundred point year
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: maybe when I was there and he was you could
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: tell he was gonna be a star, uh for the
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: next fifteen years and h his his Uh, Jayson, I'm
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: sure you know Joe never has a bad day. I
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: don't know if he's ever had a bad day in
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: his life.
• 46:13
  Speaker 15: Uh.
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: Even you could have lost ten in a row. Walk
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: in the rink. What's up byce, Hey, how are we doing,
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: you know, and God bless him for that. I mean,

• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's also pretty entertaining as we have the
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: non hockey people. And Michael Rosenbaum, friend of Jason Demurs,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: is absolutely fantastic.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: He's an avid hockey fan.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: I need a great story about a celebrity game and
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Al Michaels showing a different side of himself.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Do you believe in miracles?
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: Why?

  Speaker 18: and he was like, get the fuck out there, and
• 49:40
  Speaker 18: you know, just Amy he.
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: Was throwing f bombs and no he wasn't.
• 49:44
  Speaker 18: He was. I got it on video.
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: I have it.
• 49:54
  Speaker 18: I'll have to look, but I I have him saying
• 49:56
  Speaker 18: that like I was. I was surprised the cameras are
• 49:58
  Speaker 18: on him. I'm like, well, they're not gonna air this,
• 49:59
  Speaker 18: but this is. And Danny DeVito and al Michaels sat
• 50:04
  Speaker 18: right from my, uh where I was sitting in the
• 50:06
  Speaker 18: locker room, and I just shot the shit with them
• 50:09
  Speaker 18: for like forty five minutes. They were just awesome. Me
• 50:13
  Speaker 18: and Danny DeVito were stretching. Who showed me the right
• 50:15
  Speaker 18: way to stretch? I'm like, come on, you.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Stretch all those jersey Mike commercials, Jordan Martin hook the
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Carolina Hurricanes joining us right now, and I'm gonna let
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Jad take over the second here, but Jordan joining us
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: along with his lovely son Chase, which is a classic
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: move here just bring the sun on. So now we
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: definitely can't ask anything hard hitting, nothing incriminating.
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: I mean, one guy that you probably all want to
• 50:38
  Speaker 10: win for is not only Stallzy, but you know Brent Burns,
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: who's been around for so long, and I mean a
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: lot of people have heard stories about him and I
• 50:47
  Speaker 10: haven't been played with him in a while, but you know,
• 50:49
  Speaker 10: I have my stories of him of like, you know,
• 50:51
  Speaker 10: him getting bit by a cheetah and then getting a
• 50:53
  Speaker 10: tattoo of it, But like, has anything happened just in
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: terms of like his preparation and how wild he is
• 50:59
  Speaker 10: because he does some some stuff that's just so zany
• 51:02
  Speaker 10: and out there. And anything you've seen or that he's
• 51:05
  Speaker 10: added that I haven't seen when I played with.
• 51:07
  Speaker 17: Him, well, I don't know if he was doing the
• 51:10
  Speaker 17: like was he doing the coffee you were with him? No,
• 51:14
  Speaker 17: He's got like his blender that he blends his coffee
• 51:17
  Speaker 17: and brings all his coffee and his beans and all that,
• 51:20
  Speaker 17: like that's in one of his He's got like six
• 51:22
  Speaker 17: suitcases for a one game trip. Like he takes care
• 51:27
  Speaker 17: of himself obviously to be able to play this long
• 51:30
  Speaker 17: you got, you got to take care of yourself. But
• 51:31
  Speaker 17: he's got every machine known to man on him at
• 51:35
  Speaker 17: all times. And yeah, he's he's each thirty five ounces
• 51:42
  Speaker 17: of fake usually the night before a game. And yeah,
• 51:46
  Speaker 17: he's he's one of a kind. And like you said,
• 51:49
  Speaker 17: that's probably the number one guy that what we want
• 51:51
  Speaker 17: to win for and he's been around for so long
• 51:55
  Speaker 17: and it's never won one. So yeah, he's he's the cheatah.
• 52:00
  Speaker 17: Story is incredible though, and I love that you were
• 52:03
  Speaker 17: on his team when that happened.
• 52:04
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, he went to a zoo to go get
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: like a private tour. I can't remember where what zoo
• 52:10
  Speaker 10: And then he went into the cheat exhibit and they said, hey,
• 52:14
  Speaker 10: just you know, be careful, you know, don't you know,
• 52:17
  Speaker 10: get too ornery around the cheetah, And he did and
• 52:20
  Speaker 10: moved a little too quick, and the cheetah took a
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: piece out of him, right out of his ribs. And
• 52:24
  Speaker 10: he came into the ring the next day with tell
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: happy he's I got a bit by a cheetah. He's like,
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: it's actually pretty bad ass. I'm gonna get a tattoo.
• 52:31
  Speaker 10: But he's got a tattoo in his ribs of it.
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: And it's like, that's just the stuff he did. I mean,
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: he had his own owlery when he was in Minnesota
• 52:39
  Speaker 10: and all sorts of things like that. But you know,
• 52:42
  Speaker 10: switching gears a bit, and you guys are coming down
• 52:44
  Speaker 10: that stretch for coming into Four Nations and then the
• 52:47
  Speaker 10: break and everything, and we talk about guys. We talked
• 52:51
  Speaker 10: about a last episode of Guys going on Break where
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: they go and obviously we had some great times. And
• 52:56
  Speaker 10: I told you I was bringing this story of up
• 52:58
  Speaker 10: of us going to Cabbo for probably one of the
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: most legendary trips that was highlighted by a picture with
• 53:05
  Speaker 10: you and Kyle Busch that I wish I still had.
• 53:08
  Speaker 10: But we almost got a restraining order on us by
• 53:11
  Speaker 10: Kyle Busch because we were annoying him.
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: It was on me, it.
• 53:17
  Speaker 10: Was but listen, we're all in it together.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: We're we're you know, we're we're.
• 53:21
  Speaker 17: Oh, you guys are hagging me on too. That was
• 53:23
  Speaker 17: the worst part. We had a few Tequilas on the
• 53:27
  Speaker 17: golf course and then came back and I'm not a
• 53:29
  Speaker 17: huge NASCAR fan, but a fairly big NASCAR fan, and
• 53:33
  Speaker 17: I was like, oh, I recognize that guy, and then
• 53:35
  Speaker 17: I put one and two together and it was Kyle Busch.
• 53:39
  Speaker 17: So then I go over and tried to speak out
• 53:42
  Speaker 17: my ass that I knew everything about NASCAR and.
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: Just wouldn't let him go.
• 53:47
  Speaker 17: He's there with his wife and his kids, and he
• 53:49
  Speaker 17: just wanted to have a good time with his family
• 53:51
  Speaker 17: and we're belligerently bullying him about NASCAR and.
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: Maybe body part of it.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Well, are you a pro athlete?
• 54:02
  Speaker 17: Our NASCAR drivers athletes?
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: So I better be careful.
• 54:05
  Speaker 17: I'm I'm supposed to go to a race and one
• 54:08
  Speaker 17: of the guys is hooking me up, so I'm very
• 54:10
  Speaker 17: be careful.
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: Saying that he was.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: The pride of Porcupine playing Saskatchwan Kelly Chase Chaser.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: It is great to see how are my friend.
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: I'm doing great. I'm doing great.
• 54:19
  Speaker 19: You know the amount of times you guys changed this
• 54:22
  Speaker 19: podcast and everything I thought I was going on with
• 54:23
  Speaker 19: two Hall of Famers, you guys were doing I'm like,
• 54:26
  Speaker 19: who are these guys anyway.
• 54:29
  Speaker 10: You you I read a story about you and Brett
• 54:33
  Speaker 10: Hall stealing Bob Berry's car. Oh yeah, his Jaguar.
• 54:37
  Speaker 19: Yeah yeah, we uh well he we went to the
• 54:41
  Speaker 19: game one night and I came to the game with Shanahan.
• 54:43
  Speaker 19: I lived with Brendan and HALLI asked me for going
• 54:47
  Speaker 19: out after and or you know, we're going to ride together.
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: I said sure.
• 54:51
  Speaker 19: So I went up to the offices where he cut
• 54:53
  Speaker 19: out of the rink all the time. He went in
• 54:54
  Speaker 19: a different exit out of the rink, and he said,
• 54:57
  Speaker 19: where'd you park? And I said, I have a car.
• 55:00
  Speaker 19: What do you mean a car? I said, I'm in
• 55:02
  Speaker 19: a car, he said, so he said I'll be right back.
• 55:05
  Speaker 19: So he comes back and he's got the keys to
• 55:11
  Speaker 19: a car. We go out to the parking lot and
• 55:14
  Speaker 19: he goes, come on, let's go, and he jumps in
• 55:16
  Speaker 19: Bob Berry's Jay. So I get in the jag and
• 55:19
  Speaker 19: him and Bob were kind of close. So, I mean,
• 55:21
  Speaker 19: I don't know. I mean, I don't think he's stealing
• 55:24
  Speaker 19: the thing. I just figure, you know, he's just talk
• 55:28
  Speaker 19: to Bob and whatever the deal they made. He's got
• 55:31
  Speaker 19: a car. So I get in the car. We go
• 55:33
  Speaker 19: down down to the landing and.
• 55:36
  Speaker 7: Mixing.
• 55:36
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 55:37
  Speaker 19: It's you know, two am, and we're not done. So
• 55:39
  Speaker 19: we go to the east Side. We're going to go
• 55:40
  Speaker 19: to Pops. It's twenty four hours joint. So we get
• 55:43
  Speaker 19: over the Pops and it's like it's the lowest form
• 55:47
  Speaker 19: of life. It's it's basically it's everybody that shouldn't be
• 55:50
  Speaker 19: out that is still out.
• 55:51
  Speaker 7: Like it's just it's just in place that you just
• 55:54
  Speaker 7: shake your head. You're like, what the hell.
• 55:56
  Speaker 19: And it's a mixture of guys in suits to people
• 56:00
  Speaker 19: living on the street in this place, you know. And
• 56:02
  Speaker 19: it's now it's like four point thirty in the morning,
• 56:05
  Speaker 19: and I'm like, dude, we got to go, Like, we
• 56:07
  Speaker 19: got to get out of here.
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: We got practice in the morning. So he throws me
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: the keys.
• 56:13
  Speaker 19: I get out in the parking lot and I'm having
• 56:15
  Speaker 19: trouble with the lock and I'm jiggling it around and
• 56:18
  Speaker 19: the key snaps in the door lock.
• 56:20
  Speaker 7: Now we got Bob Barry's Jaguar.
• 56:22
  Speaker 19: It isn't like we you know, we got some rental
• 56:26
  Speaker 19: car that we could just leave over in East Saint Louis.
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: Like, there's no way you leave the jag over there
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: and it's not on blocks.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: When we get back, we go we.
• 56:35
  Speaker 19: Go to the security and we finally convinced some guy
• 56:38
  Speaker 19: at security that he needs to let us in and
• 56:42
  Speaker 19: and and get over with the door locks and he
• 56:44
  Speaker 19: needs to make this key. So the guy doesn't believe
• 56:47
  Speaker 19: it's Bread Hall. Fine, you know, no cell phone, so
• 56:49
  Speaker 19: we're calling from the desk in the security office at Pops,
• 56:52
  Speaker 19: which is again these guys are some rugged customers, right yea.
• 56:57
  Speaker 19: Polly's then holding court out in the parking lot. He's
• 56:59
  Speaker 19: got a burning barrel going burning whatever is in the
• 57:03
  Speaker 19: burning barrel, and he's got cases of beer and he's
• 57:06
  Speaker 19: telling stories and these people are sitting there like they're
• 57:09
  Speaker 19: having storytime with Brett Hall. The sun's starting to come up.
• 57:12
  Speaker 19: This guy's making keys. I'm like, this is a disaster.
• 57:15
  Speaker 19: And he promises that he's gonna get everybody at breakfast
• 57:20
  Speaker 19: at eat Right, which is just across the river into
• 57:22
  Speaker 19: Saint Louis, into Missouri, and it's his famous place. It's
• 57:26
  Speaker 19: just a little it's about the size of my hospital room.
• 57:29
  Speaker 19: But he's gonna buy everyone breakfast. So I'm like, just
• 57:34
  Speaker 19: shut up already, and he's like, who cares, don't worry.
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: About it, you know.
• 57:39
  Speaker 19: So pretty soon they got the door lock unlocked. They
• 57:43
  Speaker 19: get the door the key made. We get into Bob's car.
• 57:46
  Speaker 19: We're driving across pull in. I'm like, Holly, we're not

• 58:27
  Speaker 19: practice up Brent with ice rink and we come in
• 58:30
  Speaker 19: and we're there before everybody, and I just want to
• 58:33
  Speaker 19: get in and get out of my suit because it's
• 58:35
  Speaker 19: the suit I wore the night before and I don't
• 58:36
  Speaker 19: want the coaches to see me. And Holly just walks
• 58:40
  Speaker 19: in could care less walks right in the coach's office
• 58:43
  Speaker 19: and throws the keys on Bob Barry's desk, and Bob
• 58:46
  Speaker 19: Barry goes batshit crazy. He's reported his car stolen. He's
• 58:52
  Speaker 19: going nuts. I can hear him yelling. All I want
• 58:55
  Speaker 19: to do is get out of my fucking suit and
• 58:56
  Speaker 19: get into my underwear. Okay, just not have him see
• 59:00
  Speaker 19: me in but in this suit. And he comes around
• 59:03
  Speaker 19: the corner and he sees me just getting out of
• 59:04
  Speaker 19: my dress pants.
• 59:06
  Speaker 7: He looks and goes you.
• 59:08
  Speaker 19: You, of all fucking guys, you're not good enough to
• 59:11
  Speaker 19: hang around with him.
• 59:12
  Speaker 7: I'll fucking send you to the miners. I don't know
• 59:14
  Speaker 7: who you think you are.
• 59:16
  Speaker 19: And he starts yelling at me, and Holly's like, relax,
• 59:19
  Speaker 19: and you know he can't.
• 59:20
  Speaker 7: He could care less. He's got eighty six goals he
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: could carry.
• 59:25
  Speaker 19: At that point shit from the coach. He hasn't even
• 59:28
  Speaker 19: given Brett shit. He's reported the car stolen. But the
• 59:32
  Speaker 19: worst part about the whole thing was we went out
• 59:34
  Speaker 19: on the ice and all of these people are around
• 59:37
  Speaker 19: the glass waiting for Holly Stick like they're banging on
• 59:40
  Speaker 19: the glass, Hey Chase, you know, great breakfast, And they're
• 59:44
  Speaker 19: just like security wearing the Orange Pops security jackets and
• 59:50
  Speaker 19: strippers and and like every single like from Pops, like
• 59:56
  Speaker 19: just everything. And Garth Butcher was the captain and he
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 19: just skated out on the ice and he looked around.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 19: He watched this throw up five minut and he comes over.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 19: He goes, what the fuck did you guys do last night?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 19: I said, Butcher, you wouldn't believe it if I told you,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 19: And Holly could care less. He couldn't care that I
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 19: was getting it. I got into it. I got all
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 19: of the shit for it. But Holly could care less.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 19: He was just like, man, that was fun.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 7: Huh.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 19: And I'm like, dude, they're still here. It's practices over.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 19: Get him out of here.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 7: Oh what a day.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: A teammate, a friend, a colleague, Mike Roup proper, how
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: we do a big man?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 11: Hey, I love you guys. I'm glad to get on
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 11: here with you guys. But uh ann, dude, I was
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 11: drafted in the first round. I know I went back
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 11: in the draft and got drafted the third round, but
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: are you gonna strip that from me? So I was
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 11: never drafted in the first round. I don't even get
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 11: that acknowledgment anymore.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: There's a clip.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: It says on YouTube, Mike Roup calls Jody Shelley irrelevant.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: Talk to me twenty ten, you and Jody going head
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: to head.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: I hate that that clip made it out there. Man,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: I do I do?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 11: You know I too because I was coaching my son
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 11: when I got done playing all these all these little
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 11: punk teenagers are playing at the lockero. I'm like, would
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 11: you shut your phone off like it was your phone?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 9: You know what I mean?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 11: They're playing this clip. So let me give you a
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 11: little backstory because I play with Jody and Columbus and
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 11: you guys know Jody well, Jody. I was on line
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 11: with Jody. He's one of the greatest teammates I played
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 11: with in the NHL. I love Jody. It was the
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 11: battle of the Rangers and the Flyers, and in the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 11: heat of the moment, you do what you things come
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 11: out right And did I now did I know? So
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 11: the full transparency get of that, I knew I was
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 11: might I was Mike. Okay that Mike was on me.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 11: And so Mike during this HBO is covering the road
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 11: in the Winter Classic, this scrum happens. I'm going after
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 11: I'm going after Tom Cistido and I'm trying to fight him,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 11: and Jody comes over and shoves me. He's like, why
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 11: are you going after the twenty two year old I'm
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 11: basically because he's acting like an idiot. Jody's like, you know,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 11: asking me to fight, and so I'm not thinking about
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 11: being miked in that moment. I say that. Postgame, I
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 11: go up to our PR department and I say, hey,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 11: I need to talk to we need to talk to
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 11: the HBO guys. I want that cut, and so they go,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 11: all right, we'll talk to him. We'll see and the
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 11: HBO guys were like, well, let's see what you're talking about.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 11: And they came back and they said, we can't cut that,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 11: and I'm like, come on, and they're go, we.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 9: Need to leave that in.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 11: So they left it in and so it's kind of
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 11: gotten this thing. And I feel bad because, like, you know,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 11: Joey's a great dude. I've worked them and whatever. But
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 11: I mean, I think Jody understands in the heat of
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 11: the moment. But yeah, man, that thing made its rounds
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 11: and I hear that all the time.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: As you said, so frustrated too, like your kid and
• 1:02:40

• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Like I love Joe, He's a great dude.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: It just came out. We've talked before with the Netflix
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: talk on the Danbury Trashers.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: I mean unbelievable. I mean that people on Netflix love that.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Your favorite story reminiscing about that?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 11: Oh man, there's so many. My favorite story about the
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 11: Danbury Trashers was, I guess the best way of I
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 11: know some people explained it this way. It was basically
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 11: slap shot marrying the sopranos.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: I remember.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 11: I remember, so I had to play ten regular season
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 11: games of qualify for the playoff roster. So I tried to.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 11: I played every other weekend I played in. My former
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 11: junior team was Erie of the Ontario Hockey League.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: So I was.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 11: Playing an Aria, living in an Aria, practice with the
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 11: Otters during the week. Every other weekend I'd go play
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 11: a couple of games. So I got till ten i'd
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 11: be able to play in the playoffs. So anyways, I'm
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 11: starting I'm there for a little bit. I'm starting to
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 11: see how things are kind of happening here and this
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 11: is a really tough team and kind of seeing, oh, yeah,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 11: this is this is a unique situation, and I remember
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 11: being on the bus and I was I was doing
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 11: a three and three in Michigan to bang out like
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 11: three games, and I was falling asleep on the bus
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 11: and I had my head against the window, and right
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 11: behind me the see behind me is you guys know
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 11: John Morasti, so nasty. Morasti is a tough guy on
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 11: our team. And so what ends up happening is Barry
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 11: Melrose and Steve Levy they own that or on that team,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 11: and that's in the league. And Barry made a comment
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 11: to the media about Tony Soprano running the Danburry trash
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 11: as well. Our owner Jimmy Galante didn't like that, and
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 11: he said, we're gonna send a message next time we
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 11: play them that we were playing on the next weekend.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 11: I was not scheduled to play that weekend. So I'm
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 11: sleeping against the window. Rasty's on the phone. He's making
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 11: a phone call to I think it was Chad Wagner
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 11: was his name, and he was I put this together later,
• 1:04:35

• 1:07:04
  Speaker 20: I heard yesterday that he's no light bulbs. He's doing
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 20: a candle candle light in his house. Now, yeah, that's

• 1:07:24
  Speaker 20: have it one way with But I don't know that's

  Speaker 20: a top topic for a different day. But like there's
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 20: lights everywhere, Like when are you talking about no light bulbs?
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: Speaking of lights and being in the spotlight.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Uh, Dylan, you've been used to it because you know,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: play with Conrack, David, the Erie Otters, the OHL. What
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: was it like having so much attention again and run
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: a teammate like that as you're seeing now.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: With the Vetchkin.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean the situations are are are pretty similar. Obviously,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 20: you know a little bit greater of a stage now,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 20: but you know when you're in that moment and you're
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 20: on a junior team and things are you know, pretty
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 20: crazy around the draft and you know there's talk like
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 20: he's the next Crosby and and things like that. So
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 20: it was definitely crazy back then. You know, we we
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 20: had a lot of fun. We had a you know,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 20: I unbelieve team. We made some great pickups of the
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 20: deadline that year, and we had a lot of fun.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 20: We made a run to the finals in the OHL
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 20: that year, and you know, it was awesome to be
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 20: a part of it and kind of see a whole
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 20: city kind of get behind a team and you know
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 20: how that worked. So definitely some similarities with you know,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 20: the kind of the superstardom you know type type people
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 20: and players. But I think just you know, seeing it
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 20: now and seeing it at you kind of a national
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 20: level and seeing it, you know, people are we have
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 20: people that come out of you know, after practice, and
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 20: there's people from Belarus, there's people from Austria, from Germany.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 20: Someone had to sign last night and said, I'm from
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 20: Korea here to see OV and like it's like, you know,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 20: people are coming from everywhere near and far to see
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 20: this guy play.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: So it's no, it's cool.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: He's one of the best skating pictures ever.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: And most importantly, our friend and a colleague at MLB
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: Network with Intentional Talk, which you can watch weekdays at
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: four o'clock Eastern.
• 1:08:57

• 1:09:02
  Speaker 15: Yes, I love this mold school right here. Like I'm

• 1:09:07
  Speaker 15: put on the back that he had seventy three saves
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 15: in a game I didn't go against anybody.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: Else, So I've got to tell the story.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: We're at the All Star Game last year in Seattle
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: and in the gym, demp comes in.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: We're just kind of loosen up here on the treadmill
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: and I like, I typ to last time. I God,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: I much watch William how about you?
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: And you said to me, I was hanging out with
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Eddie Vedder and we're listening to the new unreleased music
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: of the Rolling Stones.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: That is an all time flex.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 5: By you.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 9: Dude.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 15: That night was I'll tell this story a little bit
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 15: because I think it's I think it says volumes about Ed.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 15: So I get a text from him and THEOSA come
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 15: down the house to Ed. He's got he's got his
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 15: house in Seattle. And then down the street he bought
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 15: the beach house, just kind of down the street and
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 15: it's just this nice, beautiful property and it's right on
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 15: the water. And so I show up and it's it's
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 15: him and Woody and uh. He works with the league
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 15: and then Chris snow former general manager with the assistant
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 15: general manager with the with the flames, and at this time,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 15: you know, he's going through the als. Stuff's hitting him
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 15: really hard. You know, he's nonverbal. He can still walk,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 15: you know, harder to move his arms and stuff like this,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 15: and and so we're all drinking coronas and it's kind
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 15: of that you've got a fire going. And then it's like,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 15: you know, hey, man, you know you're not gonna believe this,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 15: but I got to like he's telling the story. I
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 15: got to cut some music for the New Stones album,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 15: you know, like Ronnie Wood called me and I'm like, yeah,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 15: me too. I was busy though, so you know, like uh,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 15: and so the sound guy for Pearl Jam works with
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 15: the Stone and they're cutting this album, so he doesn't
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 15: want to hear a few and we're like, yeah, let's go.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 15: So he plays these and then he's like, all right,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 15: now I'm gonna play this, but you promised you cannot.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 15: Let's like, do not let this out, you know, don't
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 15: tape any of them, Like we're we're not gonna tape it.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 15: And he plays the entire Black Matter the new Pearl
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 15: Jam album six months before the Pearl Jam album is
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 15: being released, you know. And I know this for a fact,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 15: and it wasn't it didn't to be said. But the
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 15: only reason we heard any of that was because he
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 15: knew that Chris only had so much time left on
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 15: this earth and that there was a good chance he
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 15: wasn't going to hear any of that music. And that,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 15: to me, is why Eddie is one of these iconic legends,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 15: Hall of Fame superstars that truly touches other people's lives
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 15: in a way that we can only imagine. You know,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 15: and it was just unreal for him to do that,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 15: you know.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 7: And and I'll finish with this.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 15: So we get done at the end of the night,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 15: and then THEO and what are you We got to
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 15: get to Chris back then it's cold out. We can't
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 15: get him, he can't get sick, you know. We gotta
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 15: get him back to the hotel, you know, so he
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 15: can't tell us that he doesn't, you know. And he's
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 15: kind of like looking at me like like I can
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 15: tell and I kind of have had a few to
• 1:11:48
