• 1:50
  Speaker 1: are you?

  Speaker 2: Come on. They they had some like convention in town
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that's been booked for a year, like real estate and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: also it's like agricultural and so it was like we're
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: thrown out way out into the stay. You know. We're like,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you know, we're I mean, we're fifteen minutes. We're on
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: white Avenue. So there's some restaurants here, but there's like
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the funniest thing is like, I guess TNT is out
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: here too, sotes away with you. So yeah, so we
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: had players only with with Henrik Lunquist, so you know
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: boy Brian Boyle and Mike Ruppead. Henrik lunk was on.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: So I was doing part of the show. So I
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: got up and Hank came in and as he's leaving,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I heard he was staying like a hotel near us.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It's like kind of dodgy too. So as he's getting up,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Hank, I said, how's the hotel? And he goes,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: are you fucking kidding me right now? And I was like,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: are you staying out there? Big Hank T and T Crew?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I heard gretz is out here too, and I was like,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: there's no way Gretzki's out here. I'm like, he's he's
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: for sure, there's some billionaire here that will house him easily.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Correct, he's not staying in the hotel.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, I who knows. Apparently his security guard
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: was in the hotel, so if he's there, I can't
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: say of the hotel because the rabbit unscripted fans, smart fan.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh you're gonna find out Gretz is there.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: This is amazing. He's taking hotels the rest of you guys,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: fucking real estate convention. I love it. Let's get to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the game and bumps it back for Bouchard.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: NuGen Hopkins on the left half boards under pressure, turns
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and gives it up.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Beautiful pass, but gave it in front.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: What turns?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Leon tri subtle four three edit ten.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Over listen.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: High expectations going into this one. It went to overtime.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Really was like great momentum shifts right Edmonton fourteen seven
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: out shoot to the first prid, as you expect, house
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: on fire, Panthers come back at seventeen shots in the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: second Skinner Weather's the stormut really Florida had their four
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: check back, third perid. Edmonton really takes over and then
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the end of the game, you know, you go to overtime.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It ends up being a careful play, which is frustrating.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I wanted it to end. I mean there was there
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: was a several moments like that bouoch shirt looked like
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: he's Bobby or almost aid in overtime, like, oh my god,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: this game ends now, epic move right. Who was to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: split the d cast and yeah, amazing is the on
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: mikel On Jones and oh my oh that that's the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: way we end. It's like a final game. Instead, no
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: check carelessly flips the puck. He's a fourth lottery played
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: under ten minutes of the game. Delay a game and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: then the actual goal was great McDavid drives, Ottle, quick
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: touch passes overtime winner.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: But I'm left feeling jad listened. It's a great win Fremonton.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: They deserve the win, certainly the way they played, especially
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a third period on But for Florida, a goo man,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you lose on a penalty like that overtime tough pill
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to swallow.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know it's a team that something
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: has to had to break twenty nine and oh when
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: they're leading after two crazy uh and listen, no sick.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Paul Marie said something pretty nice after the game. You know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: they asked and they said tough bounce for no sick.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: You know what'd you tell him? And he just said, listen,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: he goes. I told him about the Toronto series when
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and they got inserted the lineup and Florida's down to nothing.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: He's like we're not here without that line, that fourth line,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and he goes, it's a mistake. He goes, hopefully he
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't need a loan. Guys are going to be there
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: with him tonight. Yeah, hopefully he you know, hope just
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: check on your teammate. And that's a beautiful thing about
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: hockey and and and the great thing about Paul Maurice.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: You know, he could say what you want about sometimes
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: him going overboard with like the handshake line and like,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: don't make it about you. But he's always understanding and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I think he always at the end of the day
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: has the players his best interest at heart. And you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you could see him supporting Thomas Noschik there because you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: that's that's an unfortunate play. It happens careless, you can
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: call it. But in the heat of it and the overtime,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the ice is snowy, what he didn't look great the ice,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you know, and this goes over and you know you're
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: giving the best power play and arguably the league and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: opportunity and overtime when everyboy's a little fatigue. So knew
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: what was gonna happen. But yeah, like I thought Edmonton
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: could have enit. It a lot of times before that,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I thought they were the better team, you know, for
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: other than the second period, for you know, every other
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: period they were the better team, and I thought they
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: were really pushing. So I don't I don't chalk it
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: down to that flip. I think that was just a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a you know what do you want to call that?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Just a kind of confidence of events and this is
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: what happens. So but yeah, it's uh, it was a
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: great It was a great atmosphere, a great game too. Honestly,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I think that was a great you know, somebody looked
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: over at me, like in the second third period, and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was Mike Johnson or because
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: we all were watching it together.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Or Johnny Rupper and Boyle together.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, or it was one of our producers and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: he just said he was like, you know what, the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: best part about this? He goes, the two best teams
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: are here and he goes, it's actually like that, that's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that's a good part. So at least the fans are treated.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But Edmonton Oiler's baby yeah in six swinn.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, Erry Carrier on the Oilers try sell fire.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. The moon.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Sam Bennett, by the way, leads all players. There were
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: twelve playoff goals. I know E've been impressed up great
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: has been from Florida and and just Acond. We've set
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: this over and over and we'll keep saying at the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: depth of the Oiler scoring, this was not a game
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: where a pair of bases carried the day. They're now
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: twenty different unique goal scorers. That's like on the all
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: time list in terms of different players contributing for this
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Oilers team.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Well, well, you know, touch on Sam Bennett first. You
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: know ties Mark Stiffey for the all time road goals
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: lead in the NHL playoffs. So you know, no one
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: else in NHL history has more road goals than Sam
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Bennett in a playoff you know, playoff series round, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: over over the course of the playoffs. Uh, he's unbelievable,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Like this guy. Every time his he's just you can
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: just see every goalie scorers is like one million more,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: five hundred thousand more, every hit two fifty more a year. Yeah,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: he's just right, DG. You can see his agent they're like, oh, oh,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: more more and then you know he's just you can't
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: find a player in the playoffs that plays like you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: that's that. He's so good. I'm such a fan of his.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: He's always impactful in playoffs. He's just he he demands
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: so much respect and fear and he just is able
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to also be so skilled and you know, great, I
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: mean what a goalie scorer to that goal dragon his
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: leg just enough and then goes blocker side. Amazing finish.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And and to your point, the depth of Edmonton Evander Kaine.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: You know, you look at the two guys that were
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: probably most impactful for me in those games, with Sam
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Bennett kind of a gritty, hard nosed guy that can
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: score Vander Kaine all those goals. The Ech home goal
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: is Vander Kain driving to the net and taking out
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: three people. The Leon Dry side of goal at the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: start of the game is Evander Kaine driving through to
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the net, taking out Gustav Forsling and just you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: doing what Florida does to them. And that was the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: thing that was missing from Edmonton last playoffs against Florida
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: was an Evander Kaine that's healthy and you could see it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: He is killing guys, he's playing dirty, he's getting to
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the Naties, getting tourr entents and it's just opening up
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the ice for everybody else. That's like the intangible thing
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that an Evander Caine or Sam Bennett does. They just
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: open it up for the other guys to to kind
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: of play because everybody's worried about Evander Kaine. You know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: they're all chasing him, they're all trying to slash them,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and this is just what he does. So yeah, depth
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: pieces for Edmonton again. You know, you can, you can
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: go down the list of guys, but you know, Vander
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Kain for me was great. Caspiy kappenan great game. On
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the D side, John Klingberg and Jake Wllman were fantastic. Again.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I thought they're very very good, very solid, And I
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: mean this is a team that's ready. We've been saying
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: at the last couple episodes. This team looks ready.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: If only a Phil Pritcher doing a Harry Cary impression.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: The keep of the cop is to join us coming
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: up later here on NHL unscripted. He's great in terms
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: of challenges. We saw how that King's Oilers series changed, right,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Jim Hiller made that just a disastrous decision, Jim Hiller,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and he's still getting.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Crushed for it this time.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Bennett ties again, maybe through the prairie bumps in his
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: two skinner on the play a fit Oilers coaches asked
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: for a review.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: The call stands, Vonton takes a penalty.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Brad Marshank gives Flord of the lead on the power
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: play a buck forty one later.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Now, Chris Dopplin said, all challenge any day of the week.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: He had no.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Regrets about it. But what do you think about his
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: decision and the call from the officials.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: It's tough. I think I think they're banking on the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: history of Sam Bennett coming into effect, and you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Brett Koolak gets escaped behind so and it kind of
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: trips him. But then you know Sam Bennett casually falls
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: back and he's not gonna hold himself up, so he
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: falls in. You know, it was more of the turnover
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and shot. It's a tough one. I just don't know
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: that early in the series if you're calling it. But
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: at least you know Chris non Block was ready and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to do it. And also, you know, the video coaches
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: in Edmonton probably were pretty adamant about it, because a
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: lot of the time they leave that up to them,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: so they were probably adamant that this was the call
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: to make. You know, the ensuing power play where they
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: give one up is not great. But this team, man,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: they early in the series, they're not scared. That could
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: have went the wrong way fast, and you know, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: good thing is is up until that point and then
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you go through the second period like Stuart Skinner kept
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: him in that game after because that game could have
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: been over, that could have ran away with it and
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: all off another coaching calls, so port Jim Hiller. If
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: only Quentin Byfield that chipped it out, you know, we
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: would be in LA right now instead of Edmonton at
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the VARs Gona end. But shit happens. And you know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: as long as naw Block owned it and didn't bear anybody,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: he owned it, did it. Boys got it back for him.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: This fucking team, man, fucking team.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: They're feeling pretty good right now.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Now. Again, I mentioned off the top, Jady is there.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: It seemed like a file for us. And also you
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: were there at media day, so we want to take
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: full advantage of you being there. It's a really unique
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: experience for anybody who hasn't covered it. You're there talking
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to different players throughout the day and kind of getting a story.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Great storytelling more than anything. First, tell us about John Klingberg.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the factor impressed by his play with Walman
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: in game one. How about Klingberg's NHL journey. People remember
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: him with the stars and how he's coming to this
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: moment now in his career.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Well, when I played with him in Dallas in twenty
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: fourteen fifteen, his hip, his hips were bothering him then
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: like he was in pain. Then ended up playing another
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: six years with it. Great defenseman was in that hip
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: resurfacing surgery is so difficult to do and come back from.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: So we were able to talk to him and it
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: was good to see him. Mysel's wife yesterday and Choose
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: talking about how much he loves it here in Edmonton
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: and loves the team and the wives, and which is great.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: He's found a home. But his last two years he
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: didn't play much hockey. When you think about it, He's
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: played like thirty games in the life last like two years.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: So we did. I kind of resonate with that, just
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: because you know what I went through with my back
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: surgery trying to get my seven hundred game and and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: he comes back and you know, they give him a
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: shot at seven hundred and fifty grand Everybody's like, what
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the hell's going on? And I, you know, I was
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: on a oiler's podcast and I was like, if this works,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: this is like a win win, like get Klingberg in
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the league if this, if it works, you know, they
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: look like the smartest team alive. And if it doesn't,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: it only cost them seven hundred and fifty grands. So
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: so it's it's it's great, and it's an amazing story.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: And and he was very kind of vulnerable with his
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: story of like coming back and not knowing if he
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: would and talking to He talked to Patrick Kane as
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: well as the other guy that got the hip surf
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: resurfacing surgery. I can't remember who it is in the moment,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: but you'll hear it in the audio clip.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Just reach out a the process and all that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit different obviously for starting six middle
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: and in the hips now, so also get used to
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: and I, I mean, I knew it was gonna be
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: a process when I signed him coming back as well.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: But I think over the course of this playoffs, who
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: coming in I feel like over over a week.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Spas is getting better and better by every.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Week too, So I'm very excited where it is at.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: I feel like he's just gonna continue to get better
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: and better, which is exciting. I mean, it's like as
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: he you played it, you're so proud to kind of
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: see where you're at. But like just talk mentally. But
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I went through a ton of surgeries when I was playing,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: and it is hard to stay kind of even keel
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: and leading on families so important. Yeah, how much did
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: you learn about yourself just keep you back from that injury?
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: I mean a lot, And I think obviously coming up
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: in the league, the timing of it and.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Dallas was perfect. I got a gold right away, and
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: obviously at that time I thought I was gonna be
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: a Dallas Stars for life.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: But well, yeah, well the things happen, and I mean,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: it was.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Just getting more supports. There's just.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: It was just an amazing moment and and vulnerability, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: it's always nice to hear guys talk about like they
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: think faire out and then how they had to battle
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: back and and and really be mentally strong and lean
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: on their support system. So it was it was a
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: cool interview. That's definitely very cool.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: You able to talk to me again.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You had that personal relationship with the him with his
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: wife as well being able to see that the maturation
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: of his career. Every time you see Paul Coffee, like, man,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that's so cool just to seeing Paul Coffee is there
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: as a coach right now the Oilers team and specifically
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you can imagine the players just loving getting the advice
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: from an all time great.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: What did Brett Kol actually about Cough telling him to
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: cut his stick?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's a lot of coaches that played that
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: you know, really like to influence them on the and
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: insert themselves on the on the stick length and stick curve.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: And you know, Rick Tockett when I played, was trying
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: to get me to change my curve and I ended
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: up doing and I ended up doing it and and
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: didn't score for the next two years. So you know,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: sometimes it works, sometimes it does it so, uh yeah,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: but he was talking about, you know, because I kept trying.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I know Cough a little bit just from being around
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the team for training camp and and also, uh you
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: know seeing him around last year and he's very like
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: blunt with what he says, and he's a walking quote
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: and he says so many good funny things. And I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: was trying to get the guys that gave me one,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: like because we interviewed a lot of a d man
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and they're all like every single guy was like nothing
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: would be good for TV or media. Like I can't
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: tell you what he says because it's it's very blunting
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to the point, but cool act started talking. He's like
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: he was chasing me around, trying to get me to
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: put the length of my stick down, and he's like caught.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: He's like Paul, Like, he's like, I can't play with
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: like a mini hockey stick like you did. Like he's like,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I need to have it a little bit longer. So
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: he finally like kept he kept bugging and bugging him,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: and he changed and he said this year he played
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: with it the whole season with a shorter stick in
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: a and a and a better curve, and I mean,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: he's played great.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Last year.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: It's funny how you could play your whole career with
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: a certain curve and stick and then on the fly
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: some Hall of Famer shit talks to you and you
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: end up changing and it works. So you know the
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: lore of Paul Coffee, Yeah, for sure.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: As you say that like athletes can be superstitious. One
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: thing is working, I want to change it. Whit you know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But then if
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you are struggling, I'll take what everydvice you can't find.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Once you figure it out, you can do it.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Ag Agreer was not in the line for the Florida
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Panthers for Game one, but you got some thoughts on
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: him and Dairy Queen if I'm not mistaken.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, everybody knows the Dairy Queen story, the Dairy
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Queen Club with Marsha. So we go and we're asking.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I just asked him. I was like, hey, what's the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: what's the Dairy Queen story? And he had an amazing
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: scoop for us and even said at the end of
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: He's like, this is a scoop about Brad. Marsha's pretty
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: She's a huge friend.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: The biggest fact Blizzards. He loves that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: That's pretty stunning listening to that clip through.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Well, he I've never heard of anyone now that I
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: think about it, and I've been to Dairy Queen many
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: of the time.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: It is it is solely a place that went for
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: ice cream cakes.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I just went and they have burgers and hot dogs.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: And I know that guy was even aware of that.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: If you said to me, if you had dry Queen
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: hot dog, but I didn't know that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I know goes there for that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: That is that that's that's poor for him.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: By Brad, I don't mean to you know, maybe it's
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: a don't knock it till he tried it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: But I can't see the angel and.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I might go try the burger. No, there's no way,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: just to do it, just to do it once. Just
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: take a bite. I mean, you're gonna grow, You're gonna
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: grow a nose like his.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Still to come here.
• 20:08

  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be there media day, so I'm gonna get
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: a hopefully get a piece and see it and see
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: you as well. But I want to ask little you
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: started in ninety four, and you know ninety four is
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: where Glenn Heally, Nicky Kyprio's famously they lost the cup,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: And what do you remember that story? And like how,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you know, how did your kind of gig come to be?
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: Well, you know what I mean.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: I know Glenn and Nick pretty well now and have
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: heard all the stories of Glenn taking it to pickering
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: outside of Toronto and Nick traveling around in New York
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: with in Uh with Mark Messi and that. But it's
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: funny the I started at the Hockey Hall of Fame
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: in nineteen eighty eight and my first week on the job,
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: we had to do a minor hockey banquet in Newmarket,
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: Ontario for those listeners that don't know where, that is
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: about an hour north of Toronto.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: And it was a Friday night.
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: I started on the Monday, and we had to take
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: the Cup up north, and nobody wanted to do it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: So I sheepishly put up my hand and said, mister Morrison,
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: I'll go. And I was the new kid on the
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: block and okay, kind of card he got, you got
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: to put it in your car. And so I went
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: up there, and I mean it was it was great.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: It was a great event, very low key and everything.
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: And then on Monday morning when I came in, he said,
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: I heard everything went well, and he said, yeah, it
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: was good. I want to go to Dallas this weekend.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: And it was something I didn't I didn't apply for
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: to say. I mean, I was working there in public
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: relations and kind of the historic side at the Hockey
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: Hall of Fame, and next thing, I'm hanging out with
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: the world's greatest trophy going this is this is all right.
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: This wasn't on the job job qualification process when I started.
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: But that's so long ago now, so he jump up
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: six years to ninety four. We had taken it to
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: the Cup final obviously the previous years, but it was
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: a it was a different format at the time. When
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: Commissioner Batman started, he got into the red carpet type
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: of thing, and we we had calls how to make it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: Specially wanted to make it. He wanted to make it
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: like it should be exactly what it is now, like
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: it was. It's the prominent trophy of hockey. Let's make
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: it that way. So by nineteen ninety four, the Rangers
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: in Vancouver are in the Stanley Cup Final and here
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: we go again, Canada versus US, you know, East versus West.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: It goes seven games and everything, and you look back
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: at it now and you thought, think, wow, if that
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: series could have gone nine games, it would have gotten
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: nine games, like if they were.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: So close it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: But to have the Rangers win it on Broadway and
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: everything like that, it was pretty spectacular. But they the
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: stories from all the guys and all that. So the
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: evolution of the day with the Cup kind of started dead.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: It obviously had its roots before that and everything, but
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: it wasn't until nineteen ninety five that actually each person
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: on the team, each player on the team got a
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: chance to keep the cup for a day, and that
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: was the new Jersey Devil. So it I'd love to
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: say I can tell you it started on this moment
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: and this time, but it kind of evolved over time.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Do you want to say that?
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, it's amazing because you always hear these stories
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: about players, as you said, taking it back to their
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: hometown in different locales, and sometimes it can be a
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: little silly and certainly parties and stories like that.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: But I thought of a moment which.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Really filled me with pride and joy as a fellow Muslim,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and Nawson Condrey took the cup back to his mosque
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: in London.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: That was a real touchdown, wonderful moment, wasn't it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: It was?
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: It was pretty incredible. I remember in uh when we
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: were in Colorado and we went over to his house
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: a day or two after they had won in that
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: and he was saying what his plans were in that.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: And he's totally different off the ice than he is
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: on the ice.
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: He's very quiet, very laid back, great guy, great family.
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: But I think more than anything to do, it really
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: shows how this game is growing worldwide. It's no longer
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: just a northern city game longer, or just the outdoor
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: ice rink. I mean, the game has evolved. It's playing
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: in ninety six countries around the world now. Everybody couldn't
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: put on a pair of skates and pick up a stick,
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: so not and paid paved the way in that way.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: But and there's going to be a whole bunch more.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Nathan Walker from Australia is playing on the Blues, was
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: with a Cup team with the Capital a few years ago,
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: so it's it's really growing. And hey, if you're playing
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: hockey as a kid and you want to play and
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: arguably the best league in the world, the National Hockey League,
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: and win that chance to bring the Cup home, I
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: mean I think everyone would be putting their hands up
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: to do that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Oh one hundred percent.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you, like, you know the Nas
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: and Kadri one that's so unique. Is there any other
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: stories it's kind of your favorite to tell about a
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: player hosting the culture in the summer, You.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: Know what Jay it was.
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: I think every time we go to a new city
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: or a new country, it's pretty spectacular on Coppatar when
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: he took it back to Slovenia for the first time,
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: being the only Slovenian in the league, and then when
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: it twice in three years to bring it back there
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: to fly in a Jubilllana and go from there.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: It's it's pretty amazing.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: But he was so honored obviously to win the Stanley
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: Cup and bring it home, but to be a Slovenian
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: and be honored by everybody.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, as we.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: Know, anyone, anytime anyone gets to wear their national flag
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: on their heartage special, and Tron's it was special. The
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: first time we went to Russia in nineteen ninety seven
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: with the Red wings, it was unique. I mean, all
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: of those are so special. But we can break it
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: down further and go down to states or provinces, to
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: little towns in that when it's the first time it's there,
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: the adults are so excited, their kids are.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: I mean it it really brings this town to life,
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: or the village or whatever.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: Might be, and everyone gathers around and it shows I
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: think and Tay you probably know this as good as anyone.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: You can't get there by yourself. Someone had to help
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: you put on skates when you were a kid, someone
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: had to tie them, They had to drive you to
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: their work.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: All of these people are.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: All part of it, and they all they all celebrate
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: in that Stanley Cup moment, So it's pretty special. Wherever
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: it is, the Cope Tar one special, obviously the Russian
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: one going to Finland. We were up in northern Finland
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: last year for one of the first times. We've been
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: in the South a lot, but we don't get to
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: all parts of Yeah, exactly, Yeah, it was exactly.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: Sandy didn't show up. I was waiting for him. There's
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: a couple of guys with beers, but they weren't sad.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Bill, I want to ask you if the winning
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the Cup in twenty twenty one, the lightning dented the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: trophy during the Cup presentation, what went through your mind
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: when you saw that?
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: So?
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: Actually so the lightning they they dented it after their parade,
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: that avalanche dented.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: It during the Stanley Cup presentation. You got your dents
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: mixed stup.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: There not the only one that happens.
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what it's I guess if the Stanley
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: Cup could talk guys, it would be a best seller
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: because the dings and dents it has.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: Uh, how do we when you and.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: I are one hundred and thirty two, one hundred and
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: thirty two years old, we're going to have dings and
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: dents on us? If we could tell each story it'd
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: be amazing. The Stanley Cup story much more better than
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: that that that one that happened in Tampa, h southern Florida.
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: You know, in the summer the weather changes so fast.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: The parade went great. It was on the it was
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: on the bay in Tampa. It was fine, Sonny, and
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: all of a sudden a storm came and started pouring
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: down and the ground was slippery in that. And I
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: remember Pat Roon there was he was watching this little family.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: They were trying to get up to the cup, a
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: little girl, and he went over and he did the
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: right thing. He said, do you want a photo with it,
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: I'll bring it down to So he stood down and
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: bent down. But as he did, he slipped. And it's
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: one of those, you know stories that will live forever.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: And there's Pat room names three times on it. Everyone
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: knows him as a Stanley Cup champion three times, but
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: they also know him as the guy.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: To put the dent in which.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Phil I want to ask you. We talked to you
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: last year on Stanley Cup Live, and I've seen like
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: a video about it. But I love when you talk
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: about you know, how you've kept all your white gloves
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: and from your time with the cup, and is there
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: is there a pair that you know is the most
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: sentimental to you or the one that kind of sticks
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: with you. I know, there's just it's endless.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what. It's funny because my wife was
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: here right now.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: I'd put her on and she'd tell you every pair
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: should go in the garbage, get rid of them.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: They have here at home.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: But it's funny because we the white gloves in museums
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: date back a long time. We've been wearing them well
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: before we walked out in the ice with them, and
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: every curator at every museum in the world, whether it's
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: an art gallery, hockey Hall of Fame, whatever it is,
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: they wear white gloves and basically our fingerprints have oils
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: in them. So we kind of brought them from behind
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: the scenes to in the forefront. Tried to pay the
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: respect that the cup we think deserves and should demand
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: type of thing by carrying it with white gloves. So
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: my first pair I ever wore with the Stanley Cup
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: I've kept. That's probably the.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: One that means the most because way back then.
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: I kept that pair, and then I kept the next pair,
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: and I thought, well, okay, I keep the next pair
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: and I keep.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: What I mean, I'm up to like four hundred and
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: fifty two pairs. It's ridiculous, but I've got them all,
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: and all the final ones I have tagged in the
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: bags of what what it was? The final? The rest
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: are per season type of thing.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: Ah, so I guess as a whole day they're They're
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: all pretty special.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: But the first pair were pretty unique.
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: And who knew that all these years later, I'd still
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: be hanging on to them.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Never forget your first time?
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Well well said, Well said, you know, six.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Weeks ago in Toronto, you appeared a Phil Pritchard lookalike
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: contest at Keep Her Con. How surreal was that it was?
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: I remember when the league brought up the idea and
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: I kind of laughed and no one else laughed.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: And I'm thinking, okay, what kind of joke is this?
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: And they said it'd be pretty cool like people, I mean,
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: this is a fun thing to do. And it became
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: a fun thing to do and people showed up with
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: bad haircuts like mine, and.
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: You know it was it was good and I think
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: more than anything tall it it showed that hockey is
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: is fun as well, and people had a good time
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: with it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: I brought my daughter out to it.
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: And she knew more people than I did there and
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: I don't know how, and that my daughter is mid twenties,
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: so it really shows the age, the broad range of
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: age that people were.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: Attracted to it by it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: It was fun and I hope we do it again
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: next year and maybe more people will come out and
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: we can go from there.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Have you did you see anybody there that was like
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: a little creeper? And I was wondering, like, do you
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: ever do you have like has there ever been any
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: like stalker incidences or anything like that of people like
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: trying to track your movements or you know, I don't
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: feel like there'd be a couple of fanatics around, you
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: know what.
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: I uh, it scared me when I you know, I
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: came outside and the event was outside.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: It was a beautiful afternoon, and there's all these people
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: dressed like me. I'm thinking all the smokes am. I
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: look in the mirror a whole bunch of times here,
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: like what's happening?
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: I think that the stalker things probably a bit watch
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: Hockey fans, as you know, are so passionate and so honorable,
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: and they see us pushing the case and they got
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: a ton of questions and then they start sharing memories
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: with you, and then you we kind of come out
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: and ask them, Hey, do you want to see it
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: in that? And they're they're just so thrilled, And I
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: think it really brings out the humanity side of people.
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: And as we know, hockey fans are around the world
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: are so passionate not only about the players, but the
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: teams and the history and the evolution of it and everything.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: So to be a little part of the history of
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: the game, it's it's a lot.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Of fun People often joke pil what they would do
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: if they had a chance to win the Stanley Cup.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: You know what they would put in the cup? You've
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: seen it firsthand? What's the most unique?
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Should I put it?
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Food or drink that you've seen consumed out of the cup?
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Still go unique?
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: Me disgusting, Stay away from unique.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: You know what.
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: It's funny because a lot of the a lot of
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: the players and the staff and that have different things
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: out of it. And you ask them why do they
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: want to do that, and then they explained the history
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: behind it, and then it makes a lot of sense.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: I remember years ago Thomas Kopecky won the Cup of
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: the Blackhawks, and he's from the middle of Slovakia and
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: his mom is makes this traditional Slovakian soup and he
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: wanted to put it in and he wanted to serve
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: it to all his family. The soup that mum made
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: and translated to English, it's the inside of the stomach
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: of a cow soup.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: Wow. I don't know how to pronounce it in Slovakia,
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: but it was.
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: It was really good soup, Like there was dumplings and
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: all sorts of that in there.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: I didn't eat it out of the cup.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, they gave him more than that.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: But at first, you I tell someone that's the inside
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: of the stomach of a cow soup, and they.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Think why why would he do that?
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: But then he explains what what his mom meant to
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: him and they would play hockey and they'd come in
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: and get warm, and his mom would have the soup
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: and it means a whole bunch. And that's I think
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: that's pretty cool because the guys all of these moments
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: throughout their life, they're important to them.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no question about it. H talgo ahead, you
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: got a couple fours, so close it up.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just uh had a couple of quick ones.
• 36:36
  Speaker 10: I've I've been fortunate enough to actually be at certain
• 36:39
  Speaker 10: players or executives' days with the cup after they've.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Won it, and the most nab.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah.
• 36:46
  Speaker 10: Working working for NHL dot Com, I was with Jonathan
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: Tays in Winnipeg one day, and I was with Dean
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: Lombardi of the former GM of the Kings when he
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: took it to his small hometown in Massachusetts, and he
• 36:58
  Speaker 10: took it to his youth hockey coach's house, and it
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: was incredible, like the whole youth hockey team was there
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: with the cup at this you know, eighty something year
• 37:06
  Speaker 10: old men's house in smalltown Massachusetts. I'm just curious if
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: there's a moment where someone shared the cup with a
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: family member or a friend or whatever it may be
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: where you, even with all the experience you've had, Phil,
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: you were there and you were getting goosebumps.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Thinking, Wow, this is a special moment right here.
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: I like you gave Dean's an example that youth hockey
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: coach meant so much to Dean and other people in
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: that town that that's an important part of his growing
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: up and turning into a GM. To me, the most
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: passionate ones are when they take it to cemeteries for
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: past ones and they sit in quietness and just reminisce
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: over everything.
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: That is so powerful to me.
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they all have parties at night in that and
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: they're great, But it's the moments like that that you said,
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: hell and the cemetery visits and the eating soup out
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: of it with your family, those are the ones that
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: are really really important. And I go back to the
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: beginning when I said if the cup could talk, those
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: stories are the ones that need to be shared more. Yeah,
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: there's great parties in that and everyone can have a party,
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: but it's those moments that the guys think about, and
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: I'm sure they think about it a lot.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: If I get that chance to bring it home, what
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: am I going to do? And that makes it so unique.
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: And last one for me, Phil, I just was curious.
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: You know, we talked about Glen Helly and Nick Kippios
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: losing the cup. What moments do you recall were for
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: even a moment you looked around and thought, where's the cup?
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Where is it?
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: You know what a Timo Solani's kind of city hall
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: party party in Helsinki, Finland. I think like ten thousand
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: people showed up and Timo, you know, an ugly guy.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: Nobody likes.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: What a bad guy.
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: Everybody hates it. He's not nice or anything. He's tied
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: up with everybody.
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: And we had the cup up on this stage and
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: all you could see was people everywhere and it was
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: like there's team of where's the cup at? And it's
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: really cool in filing because like Canada, that's the national sport,
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: I mean, and they love it. And to for have
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: everyone there saluting and cheering team that I In some
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: aspects I wish I could speak more languages because I'm
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: sure the stories that are told all then I could
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: share all of.
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: Them as well.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Bill Pritcher, the keeper of the Cup, this was awesome
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: and you've got stories for days. We can't think enough.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Have a wonderful Stanley Cup final. Phil, We watch and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: thank you so much.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: All right, guys, thanks a lot. We'll pat with you soon.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: JD was convinced that brock Delves was going to return
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: to his hosted in Minnesota and side with the Wild
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: as a free agent.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Never made it to the market, though the.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Avalanche pooning up three years twenty two point five million dollars. Reportedly,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: they acquired Nelson the Islanders to trade deadline to make
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: it run it back this year.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: As a number two center behind Nathan McKinnon.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Nelson getting over seven million dollars a year.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Well, Billy Garon and the Minnesota Wild, what a fucking
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: miss this was? Uh, this is what happens. Uh. We
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: had Alex Kolgowski on the show, and I don't know
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: if he said it on the show, but he said,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: he's he you know, we've we've kind of talked, and
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: it's just one of those things like if the guy's
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: available at the deadline and you want him and you think,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: don't wait to free agency to sign him, you're giving
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: a team the opportunity to woo him for six months
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: and woo him. They did, because Brock Nelson ends up signing,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: stays in Colorado, you know, and now you look at
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: the Minnesota Wild, I'm more, I'm more look at the
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Minnesota while they need a centerment because Carol caprice Off
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: is not going to stay if they don't get him
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: a centerment. He ain't staying. He's going somewhere else. Uh,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: He's gonna take the show. The Caprice off show in
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the road, and I think they missed very, very you
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: know it was it was a huge miss by Minnesota
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: because they didn't do anything at the deadline, and I
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: thought they should have chased at least a big name
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: because you were getting all that dead cap money coming off,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: as well as career was getting healthy. You saw what
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: they did with the limited team in Round one. They
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: had a chance to beat Vegas. They would have added
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: at Powerhouse, they could have won a nice run with
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: this great team that they have. So I just think
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: this is what happens when you stand pat and you
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: risk the you risk not getting the guy you want ultimately,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: and that's the guy they wanted was Brock Nelson. I
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: think Bill Geron was pretty convinced he was coming. But again,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: you give six months to a team to you know,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: tickle the taint, so to speak, and this is what happens.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: The taint was tickled, and the money was spent and
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: the contract was signed, and uh yeah, everybody came.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Good alliteration there, especially at the ending.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Nelson, by the way, fifty six points, twenty six goals,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: thirty six eighty regular season games, thirteen points in nineteen
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: games with the Avalanche after he was acquired in that
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: trade could have been a UFA had four assists and
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: seven Stelely Cup playoff games.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: So you're right, you got a.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Little taste of Colorado. Loves thee loves being there like
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: the right rock.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they get their center depth, right, So it's like,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: now they got three centers. You know, do I think
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: signing Charlie Coyle and Brock Nelson to twelve and a
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: half million when you could have just had Miko rant
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: In for that money. Yeah, you two players for the
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: price of one. But Mico Ranton's pretty pretty good. Yeah,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: So I kind of like we just did a whole
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: roundabout circle. But you know, they got their center depth.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Now they're just gonna have to build that out. But
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: it was a lot to give up Callum Ritchie first
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: round pick, second round pick, and now he spent seven
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: and a half sch million dollars.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Meantime, the Pittsburgh Penguan was finally replacement for Mike Sullivan.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Sullivan's travels, he moves on to New York Damn Hues
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: with a team's new head coach, Salvan. The Penns part
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: ways April twenty eth ten, seasons and two Stanley Cups.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: He's the Rangers coach. Muse by the way, forty two years.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Of age, young man, assistant coach of the past few
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: seasons with Peter Laviolette and the Rangers. Was also an
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: assistant under lavvy for three seasons in Nashville.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Off the board, pick Jad.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: He did not hear many people talking about Dan Mues
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: being a head coach in Pittsburgh.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, muse boosh, yes, uh yeah. Not much on him,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: not much scouting report on him. You know, I think
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: he was. He's been part of the US development program,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: so he knows a lot. He deals with young kids,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: whatever that means to you young hockey players. I think
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: this is more of a pick like Bill Armstrong did
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: in Utah with Andre TURINGI nothing against either one of
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: these coaches, but I think it's a coach that is
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: super excited to get the job is going to make
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: a little bit less and Kyle Dubis can kind of
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: pull the strings a little bit and he'll understand, and
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Dan Muse will understand, and they will kind of be
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: like one brain and he will play the team as
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Kyle dubases fit like moneyball, where it's like you can't
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: put Carlos payn on first because they traded Carlos Paana.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Nice there you go. Hold so so yeah, so I
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: think it's uh, it's one of those hopefully, you know.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just it's an interesting one because you look at
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: you know, Kyle dubis is really putting his mark on
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: this team, and you wonder what's next for the older
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: guys there, the Crosby's, the Malkins, the Latang's, and you know,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: I could see a world in which Latang and Malkin
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: are not there come Game one of the season.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: And I mean just the amount of parel they have
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: that you spoke about Minnesota having dead money coming out
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: the cap. With Pittsburgh, it's like they've got so much
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: money right now locked up in those major players. Obviously
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: sinking it whatever he wants. But you're right when it
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: comes to Latang, malcol and others, it's it's gonna take
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit of creativity.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: There from Kyle dupis.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: A couple more thoughts here, Nikita kuchro Off, your boy
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: wins The Ted Lindsay wore most of the standing players
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: voted by members at the NHLPA t end of the
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: last eleven Lindsay Award winners have gone to win the
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Heart Trophy as League MVP, including Kutrop who won it
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen. I think Hellibuck's still the favorite
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: to win. He's a finalist alongside Leon drys Little. But
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: are you convinced now, Jad the Kutrov will win the Heart.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: No, he's gonna get robbed again. They're gonna rob him again.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: This poor guy should have won the Heart last fucking
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: three years and he's just gonna get robbed just because
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: he didn't want to try at the All Star Game.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: So that's on him. This is the consequences of those actions.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think. I mean it was funny sing
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: him with no beard. He looked like looked like a
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: used car salesman there. I was like sending Kat to Koutrov.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: I just like a little scruff. He had nothing. He
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: was down to the wood. I didn't love it. He
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: looked like he you know, he's shaved down like you.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: And I was like it was weird, weird.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: It's true, certain guys just look better with facial hair,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Like I just take it, like I think Tali the
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: mustache should be awful.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, he'd be chinless. He's got an some mustache.
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: Though.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: I can't go down to the wood. I can't go
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: down of the wood either. If I go down to
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: the wood, I look like I'm one years old, and
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: I got like my neck gets like bread. It's oh,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: it's awful. Oh oh yeah, babyface. But yeah, he should
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: win it. He's gonna get robbed. It'll be Connor hellibuck.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: You heard it here first fans.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: And last night before we get to centophon sixty. You know,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: both teams looking for any sort of home ice advantage.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: What about the Oilers though, ice from the hometown rinks
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: of six Oilers players Connor mc David, Ryan, hug and
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Hopkins ever edricated among them and they shipped the water
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: to Edmonton as it was added to the ice surface
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: at Rogers's Place for the series. Makes me think about
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the Olympics, Memember Gretzky playing with the magic Looney there
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: in that game at Salt Lake against America. You think
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: of teams doing things like this, but rather unique tactic.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of this one.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: JD. This is so stupid. There's something that they were
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: so dominant, There's something in the world they were so
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: dominant at home. Why are you bringing ice? Why are
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: you changing the ice surface? And I didn't think the
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: ice was great history and nothing. You know, they do
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: magic over these ice crews, but I just did feel
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: like it's doing a lot. But listen, we're all pulling
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: for we need Canada win one. And I think it's
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: fucking anything. You know, it's anything. We'll do anything, We
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: will do anything to get that. Gosh, darn Stanley Cup
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: on this side of the border. But yeah, I was
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: kind of like, what was like Calvin Pickard's hometown, Darnell Nurse.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: I just kind of like, gee, Judas Priest, Yeah.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: A little yeah, all right, last that I want to
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: tell the way and I'm friendship Paul Rudsny movie. But
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: a quick cent of file in sixty Matt doc Russian
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: was here. We were talking about Gene Hackman. He was
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: telling me how Ben Manko WIT's my buddy from TCM
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: on and talk about Hackman's career, and he said he
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: mentioned a couple of movies most people don't know. One
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: of them is called Night Moves, which I did end
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: up watching. It's available Criterion, excellent Gene Hackman movie. It's
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: funny because that era.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: You know, he won the Oscar for French Connection. He's
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: great in The Scarecrow.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: The Conversation is a great Copla movie from nineteen seventy four,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: but seventy five was Night Moves.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: It's a really good thriller.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: You know, he's he's she's gene hack, but he's brash,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: he's tough, he's not gonna take any shit. You know,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: he's gonna face like a beer mug. What's also notable
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: about it is Melanie Griffith plays this runaway teenage girl
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: in the movie. And I'm watching you know when you
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: watch me go she looks a little young for this
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: start and then go, yeah, he's the mid seventies. Wait

• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Wait that's a little side tits. Wow, it's a lot.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I look up Baffords to Go Home. Was Mellie Griffith born.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, the math on this. The movie came
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: out in seventy five. That means she would have been eighteen.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: The movie, of course, was not shot in seventy five,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: so I'm like, that means that's seventeen.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: I really hope it was.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: A Body Double. I know it was the seventies, A
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: lot of different shit went on.
• 48:35

  Speaker 2: We love Paul Rudd. He's a huge can say rule.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, he was at the Royals game last year You're

• 49:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Friendship with with Paul Rudd kind of playing his
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: character from Anchorman Brian Fantana a little bit. He's even
• 49:32
  Speaker 10: got the the moustache to go with it and the
• 49:35
  Speaker 10: hair do and it's you know, you're a yeah, oh
• 49:42
  Speaker 10: yeah sex Panther. Was that the name of his fragrance anyways? Yeah,
• 49:48
  Speaker 10: so very you know it's it's it's Paul Rudd and
• 49:51
  Speaker 10: and Tim Robinson. Snl'm Tim Robinson. If a lot of
• 49:55
  Speaker 10: people know him from his I Think Hilarious show on
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: Netflix I Think Leave So good and also on Netflix
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: if you haven't seen it, count rec enough Detroiters with
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: Tim Robinson and his buddy Sam Richardson, who are both
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: huge Detroit sports fans, and it's this. This is basically friendship.
• 50:14
  Speaker 10: It's basically a ninety minute sketch from I Think You
• 50:17
  Speaker 10: Should Leave, which, if you love the show, is a
• 50:19
  Speaker 10: great thing. Tim Robinson kind of plays this buffoonish, clueless
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: guy in a dead end job where no one takes
• 50:26
  Speaker 10: him seriously. His wife, who's played by Kate Mara, who's
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: excellent actually in the film, is kind of a woman
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: who's starting to tire of her buffoonish husband, and he
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: meets his new neighbor played by Paul Rudd, and the
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: craziness just kind of escalates from there. Dark but hilarious
• 50:47
  Speaker 10: at the same time. An interesting combination, and it really
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: plays into like all these unique concepts of what quantifies
• 50:57
  Speaker 10: or qualifies like male friendship, you know, balancing like vulnerability
• 51:02
  Speaker 10: with the toxic masculinity.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: It's it's really interesting.
• 51:06
  Speaker 10: It's it's written and directed by this guy, Andrew DeYoung,
• 51:10
  Speaker 10: who has directed a lot of hilarious TV shows like
• 51:13
  Speaker 10: Our Flag Means Death and UH and Penn fifteen and Shrill,
• 51:18
  Speaker 10: And you know, if you're a Tim Robinson fan, you
• 51:20
  Speaker 10: gotta see it. I'd say, if you're a Paul Rudd fan,
• 51:22
  Speaker 10: it's worth checking out. If you're not a fan of
• 51:26
  Speaker 10: kind of dark, bizarre comedy, it might not be your thing.
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: But I loved it because that's my jam.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: So I can't wait. I can't I can't wait to
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: watch it. In a very a very astute review, tell
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: like those up pins and needles that whole time, we
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: can tell that you're Trent Yanni right now and you
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: got through that him gotta get him a cafe ola.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think his sketch show, Tim Robinson is
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: so funny. It's it's so good of like, there's so
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: many it's so stupid, but gosh, there's just some good ones.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: But the ones that can you even fucking drive? He's like, no,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to I don't know how He's like, what,
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to drive? And I'm really scared
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: right now. This sketch where he's on like a folks
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: I could be a comedian.
• 52:15
  Speaker 10: He's a like a Bachelorette style show and all he
• 52:18
  Speaker 10: wants to do is a zip line into the pool,
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: and the bachelorette just so is she just during elimination
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: just says I think you're just here for the zip
• 52:28
