1:07
MLB season is Almost in full swing. We're not
1:11
in the meat potatoes of the season, but we're
1:13
getting off getting off to a hot start I need
1:15
to double check the verified trends before we
1:18
Before we exit today's podcast just to give an
1:22
update on that. I know it's been going pretty
1:24
well But we'll touch on that later Definitely
1:28
check out the Trends Center app link in the description
1:30
15 % off of a premium membership But college
1:34
basketball is officially over the winners are
1:37
the Florida Gators in I don't know whether to
1:42
call it heroic fashion or Houston choking fashion
1:47
But we'll get into that here in a second. Chris,
1:51
how are you doing today? I'm all right, I guess.
1:56
There's just no college basketball on anymore.
1:59
And that makes me sad. And also double sad that
2:04
Houston just choked Houston Moneyline down the
2:09
toilet Houston plus 600 future along with it.
2:14
It was I was so sad. That was like the saddest
2:18
I've been for like a non -vols or non, one of
2:22
my team's loss in a while. That, that really
2:26
sucked. So I'm not doing great, but trying to
2:32
turn around betting on baseball. So yeah, doing
2:38
all right, but we're hanging in there just talking
2:42
with the boys. So it's not that bad. So. All
2:47
right, Sean. How are you Sean? Yeah, Chris. I'm
2:51
kind of in the same boat If if the listeners
2:54
don't know at home, I have a job or I have to
2:57
get up very early in the morning So unfortunately,
3:01
I did not get to witness the national championship
3:05
game. I checked the score before I went to bed
3:09
Houston was up by 11 I believe at one point And
3:14
I was like, oh, I can go to bed easy. And I just
3:18
drifted off to sleep land. And I woke up at 3
3:25
AM. I was like, oh, time to check this account.
3:31
The account was empty. Hated that. I was also
3:36
writing the Houston plus 600 and Houston Moneyline.
3:41
along with the over, but the over really never
3:45
had a chance, really. It was more about, that
3:49
was a respect bet. If you bet an under in a championship
3:54
game, you are, no matter if it wins, you're a
3:57
loser. Let's just put it that way. But yeah,
4:02
very, I went back and watched the last couple
4:07
of minutes of that game and I felt like I was
4:12
in the moment. I felt the happiness just slip
4:18
away, even though I already knew that they lost.
4:25
But whatever. I've been riding the verified trends
4:30
on Trends Center. Y 'all should really hop on
4:34
those because they are white hot right now. throw
4:39
a unit, half unit on each one of them. You're,
4:42
you're in the green, keeping my picket alive,
4:45
I will say. Hell yeah. Yeah. The, the verified
4:50
trends have been the only thing keeping me out
4:52
of the poor house. Cause I'll take like a couple
4:54
of those and like, Oh, I, I'm smart enough to
4:57
make my own bets without the trend center. Um,
5:00
I don't think I am anymore. I suck. So shout
5:04
out to the trendset for just keeping me above
5:07
water. for the time being. So, yeah. Right. Yeah,
5:15
I didn't really bet on the final four except
5:18
for the championship game. But, you know, everybody
5:25
was on Houston Moneyline in the group chat. And
5:30
I was like, well, I mean, I have to. It did kind
5:36
of fall into the though that that pitfall of
5:39
nobody at least in our circle really wanted to
5:43
see Florida win it all and when everyone is on
5:48
one side, that's a pretty telltale sign that
5:52
you got a loser on your hands and but at the
5:57
same time I Mean Houston they they choked that
6:01
game away. They were up by 12 at one point like
6:04
like this is This is ridiculous. This is the
6:06
national championship game. You may never get
6:08
back here. You know, you've been a one, two,
6:11
three seed. You've been a high seed for the past
6:13
couple of years, but this was your shot, you
6:16
know? You know, it's not impossible to make it
6:20
back, but. It's it's it's not going to be easy,
6:24
you know, but. But, you know, that's that's next
6:28
year story, and now we're. We're kind of moving
6:31
on to I don't know the the NHL is winding down
6:35
the NBA is winding down Really haven't paid attention
6:40
to the NBA at all except for the the hilarious
6:43
stories Like Anthony Edwards wanting to pay all
6:48
18 years of child support all at once. I don't
6:51
know if you guys heard about that Can you do
6:54
that is that legal I don't know Like that's what
7:00
I was thinking. I was like, yeah, why, why can't
7:03
he like as he's paying it? Like, like if you
7:06
pay, it's like buying a car, like you can, you
7:10
can just pay for the car and its entirety upfront.
7:14
Yeah. I don't see why you can't pay for 216 months
7:17
of child support just upfront. Yeah. I mean,
7:21
uh, I don't, I don't see a problem with it either.
7:22
Um, it's just very not the norm, you know? No,
7:29
it's not the norm because well, I think most,
7:32
you know, child support people who pay child
7:35
support often rely on the just monthly basis.
7:40
Like they don't often pay the whole thing up
7:43
front. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, for
7:47
sure. It's not it's not financially viable for
7:50
for most people. But Anthony Edwards, God forbid.
7:57
You can do that. I'm pretty sure you can do that.
8:02
Good for him. He made the bag. And honestly,
8:10
it's out of his hands and it's up to the mother
8:16
on how she chooses to spend that child support.
8:25
I'm not throwing no shade. I just you know no
8:28
it's very outside of the norm and it's it's a
8:31
sure low -key funny, but also pretty smart because
8:35
it's like I think your child support payments
8:38
are based off of the money you make and You know
8:41
if He's probably gonna get it. You know a big
8:45
-ass contract After the one he's he's currently
8:48
on which he's gonna make more so if he pays all
8:51
in 3d chest yeah This is a this three chest level
8:55
move But uh, I mean, I just thought that was
8:59
funny, but that's that's like a couple of weeks
9:01
old Shit, I mean we're kind of uh, I Don't know.
9:07
We're we're getting into the playoffs of both
9:10
the NHL and the the NBA Haven't really followed
9:14
the the NBA like I said because from just for
9:19
like what I'm hearing it's like the teams that
9:21
like Don't even have a chance like aren't even
9:26
putting up any sort of fight and Yeah, that's
9:31
how it usually is but also like I don't know
9:34
it feels like It feels like the dudes that are
9:38
on NFL teams that are knocked out pretty early
9:40
like still kind of Battle because you're always
9:44
battling for your next contract That's that's
9:48
the way I see it, but it's just kind of like
9:50
in a and it's sort of a betting sense. It's like
9:52
you can't really tell what you're going to get
9:57
from it unless both the teams are a playoff team,
10:00
which, you know, can be good, can be bad, but
10:05
it's, you know, incredibly difficult to predict.
10:10
Oh, sorry. Oh, yeah, John. Let's let's talk about
10:14
John that hitting the game winner in front of
10:17
a Bell of Danger. So we're talking about. Well,
10:20
that was awesome, but no. I didn't know that
10:23
one. So yeah, that was a few days ago. I don't
10:28
remember if you saw that. I think that was like
10:30
Saturday. Yeah. I think, yeah, I saw it Sunday
10:33
morning. But yeah. But so we know, we all know
10:38
Ja has a not great history with weapons off the
10:44
court. What? Yeah. Breaking news. He got suspended,
10:50
or not suspended, fined recently for doing like
10:54
a celebration where he was simulating brandishing
10:57
a weapon. It wasn't like the, it looked like
11:02
he had a shotgun and he was pointing it at the
11:04
warrior's bench. But he got suspended, or not
11:08
suspended, he got fined for that. So last night,
11:11
they're playing the Hornets, I think. He hit
11:13
a shot. And he simulated throwing a grenade into
11:17
the crowd. This guy's the best. If he can't do
11:28
it on Instagram Live, he might as well just do
11:32
it when you're on TNT. I hope he doesn't get
11:37
fined for that, but it would be funny if... He
11:40
keeps getting fined for doing these, and he just
11:42
keeps upping like the ante of the weapon. Next
11:46
he has like a bazooka. This guy's hilarious.
11:53
Right, and then for some odd reason, and I only
11:57
noticed because I get the ESPN alerts, but a
12:02
bunch of the playoff teams are firing their coach?
12:06
What is... Do we do we know anything why why
12:09
that why that is this is happening? Well, about
12:12
the Grizzlies fired Taylor Jenkins like a week
12:15
or so ago. There are 656 seed right now. Don't
12:21
know why they did that. And then, yeah, a couple
12:23
of days ago or yesterday, yesterday, the Nuggets
12:26
fired Mike Malone, which they're a four seed.
12:31
They won the title two years ago. They have the
12:35
best player on the planet. What the hell is going
12:38
on? Like I know he's very much like he's a hard
12:41
ass and I think he's kind of butted heads with
12:43
a lot of the players, but Who gives a shit? Your
12:49
four seed he I saw he has the most wins like
12:52
kind of by a lot of all active NBA coaches in
12:56
the last five years Like again you won a title
13:01
two years ago you could You have a decent chance
13:05
of doing it again this year. No, we don't need
13:07
one of those pesky head coaches. Get out of here.
13:13
I don't care if he's a hard ass. If you're going
13:15
to fire him, at least wait until after the season.
13:19
Having it be a couple of weeks before the playoffs.
13:23
And they fired the GM too. So there were reports
13:27
that him and the GM were butting heads over who
13:30
should be getting playing time and stuff like
13:31
that. It's like, okay, well, that's obviously
13:33
not why he got fired because then you fired the
13:35
GM. So I don't, I don't know what the hell is
13:38
going on. And honestly, I kind of just blows
13:40
up in their face. Hopefully go out first round.
13:44
Yeah. But Yoke, it is awesome. He is awesome,
13:47
but he doesn't, he got, he's got his money. He's
13:50
got his ring. He, he's probably just counting
13:53
down the days until he can retire. Until he can
13:57
take care of his horses with the horses. I would
14:00
have retired right after, if I were him, just,
14:03
I mean, he's got very many millions of dollars.
14:08
I don't know what his contract is exactly. One
14:10
of the title, yeah, just fuck off. Go back to
14:13
go back to Serbia. Raise your horses who he doesn't
14:16
like basketball. He certainly doesn't like winning,
14:21
uh, the whole thing. That whole, that whole championship
14:26
circuit had him in a pretzel. Which was one of
14:29
the most hilarious things I've ever seen from
14:31
a professional athlete, but God bless him. When
14:35
they asked him about the parade, he was like,
14:37
when is parade? He was like, Thursday. God damn
14:41
it. Gotta go home, man. They have to see horses.
14:47
Love that guy. Yeah, shout out. Shout out, Joker.
14:52
Big fan of the show. You know, I can we go back
14:57
to college basketball real quick. Yeah Because
15:01
I think it is kind of hilarious how Duke had
15:04
Zion and Cooper flag and they couldn't do anything
15:09
They couldn't get there It's pretty comical Yeah,
15:13
if you I I think I have a point here that that
15:18
Chris can sort of expand on I think the problem
15:23
with Duke is They since they're such a highly
15:27
touted program They get a lot of one and duns
15:31
and that's kind of I don't know. That's just
15:34
kind of my take maybe that's you know, not Too
15:38
pertinent, but I mean Chris. Do you have anything
15:41
to add? I mean, I Mean, yeah, that definitely
15:44
goes into it It like, yeah, you're not able to
15:49
build a whole lot of continuity when you just
15:51
have a revolving door of NBA talent coming through.
15:53
And that's kind of what Kentucky's problem was.
15:56
Um, towards the end of cows rain on top of couch
15:59
being a terrible coach, but I, it is weird how
16:04
they haven't been to a title game in 10 years,
16:07
I think. And yeah, they've had, I, I saw like
16:13
a tweet, it had like the list of just players
16:15
they've had. on the teams in the last 10 years.
16:19
And it's like, how can you like, how can you
16:21
not go to a title game? Like when winning you
16:24
like, that's obviously very hard to do, but make
16:28
one championship appearance over 10 years when
16:31
you just, when you constantly have the best players,
16:33
it is shocking, especially because say what you
16:36
will about coach K, like he's an asshole, like
16:39
off the floor and stuff like that. He's a phenomenal
16:41
coach. He's probably the best to ever do it.
16:45
John Shire is fine. Um, or he's very good, but
16:49
for Duke standards, we'll see. But I don't, it's
16:53
very weird how they just can't seem to get there.
16:57
It's also part of it, at least this season, the
16:59
ACC was God awful. So they hadn't played a team
17:04
on their truly on their level since November.
17:09
And like when you're not tested, at least. couple
17:14
times in conference play. Like, yeah, they lost
17:16
a Clemson, but it's like, you're going to lose
17:18
at some point, but they, all their games, they're
17:21
blowing people out for the most part. So when
17:23
you're hardly ever tested, when you get punched
17:26
in the face, you're kind of just like, Oh shit,
17:28
what do we do now? I just got punched in the
17:31
face. Yeah. Like, Oh, I'm not used to this. Also,
17:34
they don't have a this year. They didn't have
17:36
a point guard. Yeah. Makes no sense. Yeah. That's
17:42
kind of important. Um, like you're getting like
17:45
gut check time against a very physical defense
17:48
like Houston. You're giving the ball to granted.
17:51
He's a fantastic player. One of the best Dukes
17:54
ever had to a 17 year old forward, bringing it
17:57
up the floor and Cooper flag who's kind of proven
18:00
to not be clutch at all. Some shit could happen
18:06
and some shit did happen. So that's obviously
18:09
looking at it hindsight 2020, but it's not shocking
18:13
to how this year at least it they didn't make
18:16
it. Mm hmm. Yeah. And just what a collapse, you
18:22
know? Yeah. Their Houston game. Like, I mean,
18:28
Cooper flag, like just completely missed that
18:31
jump, like just. I mean, he pissed down his leg
18:34
the last. Yeah. Seven minutes or so. Lights were
18:38
like too bright for him almost. Too bright for
18:42
the whole team. Honest. Yeah. I just think it's
18:45
kind of funny, like how they, I think I did see
18:48
that tweet as well that you were talking about.
18:51
And it is like, it is a long list of notable
18:56
basketball players and how they just can't get
19:02
to a, they can't even get to the final. Like
19:06
it's a, it's almost comical, almost. It's a little
19:10
sad. But no, I love it. I fucked you. It's hilarious.
19:16
Okay Many people feel that way. Yeah, I will
19:19
say but I Didn't hate I didn't hate this Duke
19:23
team. I'll say they were a lot of when they were
19:26
rolling they were fun to watch I Still didn't
19:31
like them. Don't get me wrong. That's saying
19:32
I was a fan But I didn't have the same level
19:34
of hatred as I did like the coach Kate years
19:37
because I didn't have like us like they had their
19:39
white kids, but they were like Just good. There's
19:43
good basketball. They weren't jackasses like
19:44
Grayson Allen and guys like that kicking people
19:46
in the dick They were just ballin Mm -hmm. Hell
19:53
yeah, but it's all I really had but yeah, it
19:56
was uh Houston coming back to to win that game
20:00
Was awesome, you know That was yeah, that was
20:05
madness and I mean so was So, so was the championship
20:10
game. That was madness. So. Houston Duke at least
20:17
felt like it was a good game. Like it was a good
20:20
basketball game. Yeah. Like Duke obviously choked,
20:22
but it felt like it was a good, it was a visually
20:25
entertaining for the most part game. Florida
20:28
Houston, it was very, it was close. It was like
20:32
entertaining down the stretch just cause it got,
20:34
because it, it was like one possession game for
20:37
most of the final few minutes. that game sucked
20:40
let's be honest yeah that game was a little bit
20:43
of a rock fight definitely yeah even at the point
20:47
where they were up by 12 it's like that was that
20:50
was a tough 12 you know um yeah and it never
20:54
felt like yeah they were up 12 but and obviously
20:57
this has to do with florida just being really
20:59
good but it never felt like houston was like
21:01
all right they got it like they can just kind
21:03
of which maybe they felt like that that's why
21:04
they blew it but as i was watching it i was never
21:08
it didn't feel like they were up 12 mm -hmm yeah
21:13
it i mean watching it and they were up 12 i was
21:18
like all right i might be able to go to bed now
21:20
but this is the championship game so i'm not
21:24
going to go to bed um but yeah i mean that's
21:31
i mean that's kind of it um now we're We're getting
21:36
down. What when's the draft? When's the NFL draft?
21:40
Is that like? at the end of this month a couple
21:42
weeks a couple weeks, it's I Think it's at the
21:47
end of this month. Yeah the 24th Yes, the 24th
21:55
through the 26th is that a Thursday Yeah, yeah
22:01
starts Thursday it goes through Sunday All right,
22:05
you just pulled a week a day of the week out
22:07
of the yeah, how'd you know? How'd you do that?
22:11
Well if you must know It's because WrestleMania
22:14
is April 19th and 20th. That's a Saturday Sunday
22:18
and then Sunday plus four is Thursday That was
22:26
great Sunday plus four start doing that Yeah,
22:38
I've just never heard it like laid out like Sunday
22:43
plus four I mean You're right. I'm not saying
22:49
you're wrong. You're just a funny way of explaining
22:51
it. Yeah and then you know, my fiance's birthday
22:55
is the the 19th, so Right whose birthday is the
23:00
20th? Yeah, that's cool That's really only real
23:09
history buffs know that yeah, it's true the cool
23:14
ones April 20th, um, but yeah, I mean like I
23:22
think we're getting into you know peak like Stephen
23:28
a and Chan and sharp rhyming things to say Lakers
23:31
in 5. Truth be, I do love those memes. It's incredibly
23:37
entertaining. What is it, Chris? Well, before
23:42
I go into the latest Stephen A. Shannon kerfuffle,
23:48
we need to talk about Ovi. Yes. 895. Yes. Yeah.
23:53
Will and I have a little bit we're going to do.
23:56
It's not a joke bit, but it's a question. So,
24:01
I guess we can go into that now. Yes, Alexander
24:06
Ovechkin, greatest goal scorer of all time. Yeah,
24:09
definitely. What's the question? Okay, the question
24:14
is that the NHL network panelists came out with
24:19
their Mount Rushmore of NHLers. Does Ovechkin
24:25
deserve to be on the Mount Rushmore? Yeah, I
24:31
don't see see I think you can make the case that
24:34
he can respectfully be left off though I I do
24:38
agree that it feels wrong to have the all -time
24:42
leader and goals off of Mount Rushmore But when
24:46
you have players like Wayne Gretzky Gordie Howe
24:51
Lemieux Who's the other one will Bobby or Bobby
24:56
or gifts like when you have players like that,
25:01
it's hard to replace one of those with Ovechkin.
25:07
I mean, I'm not a hockey whiz, so someone could
25:10
probably easily poke holes in this argument,
25:12
but I would put him in over Lemieux, just because
25:16
Lemieux's career, he was incredible, though you're
25:19
wrong, his career wasn't that long, and Ovechkin
25:22
has spanned two decades, and he's the all -time
25:26
leader in goals. I think he deserves, I'm not
25:28
saying Lemieux isn't one of the greatest of all
25:30
time, but I think if we're talking the four best,
25:33
I would put OVN over Lemieux. That was my point
25:41
last night when we were talking about this. Because
25:46
I feel like Wayne obviously has to be OVN. Like
25:50
that is like a given. Gordie Howe, I feel like
25:57
has to be on there. That man played feels like
26:00
into his 70s. Bobby Orr, probably the greatest
26:08
defenseman of all time. You have to have a D
26:11
on Mount Rushmore. So it does kind of come down
26:15
to Lemieux versus Ovi. And it does feel wrong
26:20
to leave the all -time leader in goals. off of
26:24
the the amount of killers yeah i um i'm in the
26:31
Lemieux camp just because his career was shorter
26:37
than most um but he's what he did in that short
26:47
span is incredible like if you really look at
26:51
the numbers his points per game is higher than
26:56
than Wayne Gretzky's and Wayne wasn't like a
26:59
pushover when he was you know getting to the
27:02
end of his end of his career like he wasn't putting
27:05
up like bad numbers but when you kind of look
27:10
at it objectively it's like if Lemieux All right,
27:21
a little bit of a casualty on the panel here
27:24
Coffee, but if you look at it objectively If
27:30
Lemieux didn't get cancer like he would be the
27:35
all -time leader in points like that's I mean,
27:38
I can't say that that's a fact obviously because
27:41
it didn't happen but It's kind of like when you
27:44
look at it objectively. He has a higher points
27:47
per game than what then Wayne Gretzky and like
27:51
even when he came back from when he had cancer
27:55
he was still dominant like it's it's uh it's
28:00
incredibly hard i definitely don't i don't not
28:04
respect if you don't if you put ovi on there
28:07
instead of lamu um like i i fully get it but
28:12
like in terms of mine it's kind of like that's
28:16
that's what i got because Mean still to this
28:19
day people are like who's the greatest and Everyone
28:24
says Wayne But if you ask someone for Pittsburgh,
28:27
they always say Lemieux because Lemieux's I mean
28:32
Bias aside like the numbers support that claim
28:36
And then even everyone who says Wayne Wayne is
28:39
the best Lemieux's number two like that's that's
28:44
kind of Like you're like already in the conversation
28:49
of of top two players of all time. That's that's
28:55
that's just the way I see it. But but yeah, that's
28:59
that's kind of what me and Sean got into last
29:01
night. But yeah. One thing I heard someone say,
29:06
I think it was on on TV, I forget who it was
29:08
exactly, said if like. Take out the covid year
29:13
and then what year was the lockout shortened
29:16
season? 2003 Well, there there was a somewhat
29:24
more recent one wasn't there like in the last
29:26
10 like 10 or 15 years. I Want to say maybe 2008
29:31
2007, maybe I don't remember. Yeah, I thought
29:33
it was on Like I can look it up while you you
29:36
talk. Okay 2012 13. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I was gonna
29:40
say I thought it was in the teens or but yeah,
29:44
if you Say like they played those seasons in
29:48
full, oh, we could have well over a thousand
29:51
goals. Oh, for sure. Yeah. So, and I, I don't
29:56
want to be playing like the what if game because
29:58
obviously shit happens, but like that's just
30:01
wild. Like he could have done this two, two,
30:05
three years ago. If it wasn't for a pandemic
30:09
and a lockout short in season. Yeah. I mean,
30:13
honestly, if we play the what if game, we could
30:15
be here all night. Oh, yeah. Well, what if, what
30:20
if Ovi and Wayne played at the same, you know,
30:22
you know what I mean? Like we could play, we
30:24
could, we could play this game, but we have to
30:27
be realistic about it. You know, like. Okay.
30:31
So we have to, we have to have what they did
30:35
and what their accomplishments are. So. Yeah.
30:41
I think, I think he scored this like one more
30:45
goal. Of etchkin in one in the same amount of
30:52
games that one thing is one less wasn't yeah.
30:55
Yeah That's a fact and that's that's great on
30:59
its own, you know The only I Mean the only asterisks
31:08
I can think of when you when you put that I mean,
31:10
I don't know if the NHL was always 82 games back
31:14
in the 80s but um the only the only asterix that
31:19
you could i guess put in ovechkin's favor is
31:22
i mean like halfway through the 2000s they they
31:27
they got rid of the uh uh that the uh the game's
31:33
ending in ties so and they had a over wait a
31:36
minute no they just added the shootout and those
31:39
aren't statistics never mind yeah Sorry. They've
31:44
had 82 games. They've had 82 games since, uh,
31:47
95. Okay. So, I mean, I guess he's, they've had,
31:54
I guess he's had more chances to score, but it's
31:56
still the same amount of games, you know? Does
32:00
that, does that not making sense? Oh yeah. Definitely.
32:03
I mean, they, I mean, when they moved to 82,
32:07
they moved from 82 to eight or 80 to 82. Oh.
32:11
Well, that's they did I thought it was 70. I
32:14
mean now I just I I I did just look it up They
32:20
haven't played 70 games since like the 50s like
32:24
50 fucking really yikes, okay Fuck I guess So
32:36
it's like to bring it back to the Mount Rushmore
32:39
thing When I when I think of Mount Rushmore,
32:42
it's like who are the best players You know like
32:47
not just the best You know like Wayne's not on
32:50
there because he's the greatest playmaker Although
32:54
if he never scored a goal, he'd still be the
32:58
all -time leader in points, which is a stupid
33:03
stat That's something that nobody will fucking
33:06
touch So it's it's kind of like that's just like
33:12
kind of like the way I see it like all of the
33:15
players are like lots more like well -rounded
33:19
and I mean like Bobby or revolutionized the the
33:24
defenseman position and like if you look at his
33:26
numbers, holy shit like He was scoring a hundred
33:31
points Like every season for like six or seven
33:35
straight seasons as a defenseman and that's insane
33:40
But but yeah, I mean that's that's kind of my
33:43
take And if nobody else has anything to add I
33:50
can transition this Back to Stephen a and Shannon
33:54
sharp. Okay. Yeah. Well, well, I okay. Sorry.
33:58
All right. No, you're good So the NHL network
34:02
they're they're analysts Pretty much all have
34:06
consistent it's either It's Wayne and Bobby.
34:10
That's like they're consistent. Corey Schneider
34:15
has Wayne, Martin Brodeur, Lemieux, and Bobby
34:21
Orr, which he's the only one that has Martin
34:25
Brodeur on his list, which could be fair, I guess.
34:31
He's really got them all. He's got all positions
34:35
covered. I get it. I do have kind of a thought
34:39
about that, but I might go off on a tangent.
34:41
So just keep going. Oh yeah. Gordie Howe is pretty
34:47
consistent in these. He's in five out of the
34:50
six as well. He's Mr. Hockey. The sport was named
34:56
after him. People forget that. He does have a
35:03
hat trick named after him. But the only ones
35:08
that really intertwine or are interchangeable
35:12
are OV and Lemieux. So it's very on the fence
35:17
for me. I'm very on the fence about who should
35:20
be on there. Let's just add another president
35:26
to Mount Rushmore and we'll have this problem
35:29
solved. Think about all the arguments, all the
35:34
Mount Rushmore arguments you could have about
35:37
everything if they added one more. They just
35:40
added one more, dude. Be easy. We could do that.
35:43
We have the technology. Who's the number five
35:47
ketchup brand? I shouldn't even name three, if
35:52
I'm being perfectly honest. What's the number
35:57
five? ranked Left -handed pitcher. I don't know
36:04
you got it. You got it. Whatever whatever Do
36:08
you know what I mean? All right back to what
36:11
I was saying first I just want to say that I
36:17
love that PK Subban is on like first take or
36:21
the like these whatever Whatever the hell these
36:24
these morning talk shows are called nowadays
36:27
because I don't watch them. Um, I have a fucking
36:29
job so um I uh, I love it because like he actually
36:35
like knows hockey because he was a hockey player
36:40
and uh Yeah, he they were they were they brought
36:44
it up like like the day after ovi got the record
36:48
and they were like Who who was more feared? in
36:52
The playoffs or just like a more feared individual.
36:56
Wait, no, it was who was the most durable LeBron
36:59
or Ovi and PK. Just. Gave a master class on why
37:06
Ovi is way more durable than than LeBron James
37:09
and. Stephen A and Shannon were just not having
37:14
it when it's pretty clear that like. Like he
37:18
he's only missed 35 games. in 20 years of being
37:22
in the NHL. LeBron James has missed quite a number
37:27
more. And you know, injuries happen and I get
37:30
it. But when you're talking about durability,
37:32
it's like, that's it, you know? That's it, Chris.
37:38
I don't know if this goes into his durability,
37:43
but more of like his just overall toughness.
37:46
Alexander Ovechkin broke his leg this year. Oh,
37:51
yeah, he did do that. And he came back. And scored
37:55
and broke the record. I think that alone, again,
38:00
I don't know if that makes him more durable,
38:02
because I guess if you're more durable, you would
38:04
just never get hurt. But it makes him more just
38:07
of like a. Like a competitor, like a bad motherfucker
38:13
by like like broke his fucking leg this year
38:17
and he broke the all time goal record. That's
38:20
insane. The conversation was what's more impressive,
38:28
LeBron's scoring title or Ovi's? They had the
38:31
durable one too. I didn't watch either. I just
38:34
saw the clips on Twitter. I refused to watch
38:36
them because the first take just hurts my head
38:40
these days. I just can't do it anymore. I'm too
38:44
old for that. I mean, I think I think both of
38:51
those kind of went into each other because Yeah,
38:54
I mean clearly like, you know, both of those
38:57
like titles or it took them their entire career
39:00
and they're they're fucking 40 like Like and
39:05
so it's it is kind of like what is a bigger deal
39:08
I guess and durability is kind of a factor in
39:11
that but it's just like dude when you talk about
39:15
the longevity of each player's career. Like,
39:19
yeah, LeBron takes care of his body and, you
39:23
know, shit like that. But when it comes down
39:25
to the games that are being played, like hockey,
39:29
by definition, is way more physical. And Ovi's
39:33
the one dishing it out. But he's also, you know,
39:35
taking it because he's Ovechkin. He's a star.
39:37
Like, that's just what happens to the stars.
39:39
Yeah. And like, they just weren't having it.
39:42
Like, Stephen A and Shannon, they just weren't
39:44
listening. Well, I mean, because I think I've
39:47
seen more hockey games this season, like four,
39:51
it's Stephen AC in his entire life. So he just
39:54
doesn't give a shit. You could probably say the
39:56
same thing for Shannon and Shannon is just a
39:58
LeBron meat rider. But, um, I just very glad
40:03
that they decided to tackle the issue of how
40:06
Ovi breaking when Gretzky's record affected LeBron's
40:09
legacy. Hats off to them. It has to impact his
40:15
legacy somehow. Everything does. That's an excellent
40:22
point, Chris. I hate them. I hate first takes
40:26
so fucking much. It's the worst. How does Alejandro
40:33
Ovechkin's goal scoring record impact LeBron's
40:36
legacy? They did that. Essentially did that.
40:39
Like, that's been a meme since we were like in
40:42
high school. pretty much, but they actually did
40:46
it. I love it. Yeah, but I do want to say, you
40:51
know, hats off to PK. I mean, just laying it
40:56
out there. I mean, it's all factual. I mean,
41:00
yeah, hockey's a physical game. He did that earlier
41:03
this year, too, where he went on first take and
41:06
kind of shed all over him. Oh yeah, in the Four
41:10
Nations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where like Wasn't
41:15
his argument is like these guys don't miss games.
41:18
Like that's that was is another like durability
41:21
kind of thing Wasn't that his argument as well.
41:25
It was something like that like a part of it
41:28
it felt like he was more just saying they have
41:30
more like heart and like Dedication to the game
41:34
then he didn't obviously come out and say that
41:36
but it felt like though He was kind of dancing
41:38
around that point. Yeah. Well, it was like a
41:40
13 -minute rant Like uninterrupted, right? Yeah,
41:44
he is right. He's not wrong. It is it is sad
41:51
that I did look it up that LeBron has missed
41:54
169 games in his NBA career, which is still great.
41:59
Yeah, for that long of a career, you know, 71
42:02
in his first 15 seasons and 98 in the last five.
42:07
So you can really tell that time is taking a
42:11
toll. the man for sure, but Yeah, it's just like
42:17
NBA players don't care as much Yeah Well, I mean
42:25
it makes sense a little bit cuz you know if you're
42:29
if you're with the Charlotte Hornets What what
42:32
are you playing? What are you playing for you
42:34
know what I mean like? What are you doing? You're
42:37
just bad chasing Yeah, that first three months
42:42
is pretty good, but then after that, it's like,
42:46
all right. We know who we are. We don't have
42:50
to... We don't have to, I guess, try as much.
42:55
And you hate to say that, but... Yeah, and I
42:59
think the NBA... I think Silver's talking about
43:03
shortening the games as well to 40 minutes. Who
43:10
cares? Like, what's that gonna do? Yeah, I don't
43:15
know. I think they're hoping to get more eyes
43:19
on it because, you know, to watch a 60 -minute
43:23
game takes three hours. Shave it down to two,
43:29
I guess. I feel like every sport, for the most
43:33
part, takes roughly three hours. Yeah, it does.
43:38
It's three at like what do we do? Yeah, like
43:41
you can't sit on the couch and watch TV for three
43:44
hours God no You do it for a lot longer than
43:51
that I can do it a lot longer than that pretty
43:55
much kind of did that today But yeah, there's
44:01
a lot of things in the NBA I just don't Really
44:05
care about I don't yeah I don't care. And I can't,
44:09
I can't really say like how they can fix it because
44:12
I don't watch it. So I couldn't tell you what
44:14
exactly is wrong with it. I just don't care about
44:16
it. Yeah, it's, it's weird. Like I, um, I heard
44:25
someone on a podcast one time, like an NBA player
44:27
on a podcast one time talk about players caring
44:30
and like, there's some statistic where it's like,
44:35
if you, if you are like, Above the height of
44:39
six five your your chances of making the NBA
44:43
are like Something like thirty percent something
44:47
like that. All you got to do is really like put
44:48
in the work but like you have the height and
44:51
that's like a Big old part of it. It's not all
44:55
of it. You gotta make your shots but still, you
44:58
know, it's it's kind of like When you see that
45:01
and you're just a dude, that's like six six and
45:05
you're like I am tall If I learn how to shoot
45:09
the ball and dunk it and play this game, someone
45:14
will draft me. I'll get my college paid for,
45:18
because I'll play college ball. And now with
45:22
NIL, it's like, now I can make a little money
45:24
doing it. And then I can go to the NBA, make
45:26
even more money. And yeah, that's kind of it.
45:35
You know, I don't want to say it's a problem,
45:36
but it is kind of a problem but like that dude
45:39
on that podcast was like yeah, there is a number
45:41
of of dudes in the league that just don't Like
45:47
like there aren't in love with the game of basketball
45:49
like like most of the stars are But they're great,
45:55
you know Like maybe a level starter or like off
45:59
the bench and it's kind of like dudes off the
46:01
bench are making 20 million dollars, you know
46:04
And so it's like, if you can come off the bench
46:07
in an NBA game and make a bag, do it, you know?
46:13
Yeah, I was going to say that. Like, yeah, like
46:15
the seventh man off the bench is making generational
46:18
wealth. Why would you care that much? Like, it's
46:24
like, OK, I can go out here, kind of just run
46:26
through the motions like I'm going to play for
46:28
like 10 minutes, maybe. But I'm still gonna get
46:32
like 20 million dollars. Like why should I? Like
46:35
you're paying me already for not giving like
46:40
a hundred percent Why should I just start now
46:44
that I that you're already paying me? Yeah, it
46:48
and it's like You know from a an entertainment
46:53
product it's kind of like dude you want you want
46:55
people to care, you know, like if you don't care
46:58
about hockey and you're in the NHL you're not
47:01
in the NHL. Like that's, that's just how it works.
47:05
Like you have to fucking care. Even if you're,
47:09
if you're a first line player all the way down
47:11
to the fourth line, it's like your fourth line
47:12
player, you, you better care a lot, you know,
47:15
like you, you got to care more. Cause you're
47:17
not very good. And so I hate, you know, it's,
47:23
I hate that that's an issue, you know, um, coming
47:27
from just like a sports fan perspective, but
47:32
it's There's also like a I think it was JJ reddick.
47:36
He went on like a podcast and was talking about
47:38
how people Like don't like to watch the NBA anymore
47:43
because now it's just a three -point shooting
47:45
contest and it's kind of like well if you think
47:50
about it the league has never been in a place
47:52
where Where players just lace up threes? And
47:58
and so like this is this is not only new for
48:01
the players, but everyone else as well and It's
48:05
it's not a matter of a fact that there's less
48:07
defense. It's just the players are better at
48:10
offense You know, you can only do so much on
48:14
defense But you can there's so many different
48:17
ways to score the basket, you know and so it's
48:22
basketball is in like a weird spot just from
48:24
like an outsider's perspective, but But yeah,
48:27
it's it's our it's very hard to care about about
48:31
about basketball about the NBA that is And yeah,
48:38
I mean we're gonna loosely cover it as the the
48:42
the NBA playoffs are going but But yeah, I mean
48:49
right now it's It's it's slowly turning into
48:52
I mean the NHL seasons coming down to the I think
48:55
we only have like a week or two left and then
48:57
playoffs start I mean our team isn't fucking
49:00
in it, but I think it's I think it's less because
49:02
the last Fred's home game was last night Yeah,
49:06
like it's probably like next week. I don't know
49:09
but you know, we'll loosely cover that as well
49:13
along with All the other sports bullshit that
49:16
we talk about They usually watch the NHL playoffs
49:20
Yeah, because aren't in it usually get bounced
49:23
first round anyway, so Right and I do have two
49:29
units on the Oilers to win the Stanley Cup that
49:32
I placed like at the beginning of the season
49:34
so I Do have something to watch and Chris was
49:40
that like the the Houston loss was that like
49:43
the closest you've had to a future like coming
49:47
down to the wire Yeah, I don't think I've ever
49:50
placed a feature and have my team or and have
49:52
that team even make the championship really even
49:55
get close. I'm not really like a huge futures
49:58
guy. Like usually I'll take a few. Like I'll
50:01
do some of the tournaments. It's fun. But like
50:03
I never really do like season long. I'll do like
50:05
win totals in college football, but I don't really
50:07
do like championship futures. But of like the
50:10
five or six I've ever placed. Yeah, that was
50:12
far and away the closest I've ever come to hitting
50:14
one. Yeah, it. It hurts, don't it? That was brutal,
50:20
man. Like I said, I was legitimately upset over
50:28
that. It sucked. It was pretty brutal last year
50:32
when the Oilers was almost completed a reverse
50:37
sweep and made it to game seven and then lost.
50:41
That was very, very difficult. that team especially
50:49
last year like that team they they were like
50:53
one of the last teams in the NHL last year and
50:57
then like they just went on a monster heater
50:59
and made the playoffs made the finals lost the
51:04
first three games and then won the next three
51:07
games wild and then lost in game seven that was
51:12
a that's the definition of a roller coaster Have
51:17
you seen I'm sure you have seen the video of
51:19
like the locker room the others locker room after
51:21
they lost game seven Yeah, I mean, um, I saw
51:25
a little clip of it and I know that It's like
51:28
some TV series that's on Amazon Prime. I think
51:31
that I keep forgetting to watch Game said yeah.
51:36
Oh Is it really yeah, I didn't know that I knew
51:39
it was a TV thing I didn't know what it was.
51:41
Yes, there was some Amazon Prime thing that came
51:44
out that followed like Connor McDavid I think
51:49
like Austin Matthews like Philip Forsberg Postronach
51:53
and a couple other NHLers and I followed them
51:59
for like the whole season and then you know went
52:01
in and out as the Season progressed but Yeah,
52:07
that's that's something I keep forgetting that
52:09
exists and that I thought I need to watch But
52:14
yeah I mean, do we have anything else? I mean,
52:18
how's baseball Chris? All right Yeah, I'm yeah
52:29
again, thank you transgender for keep like I
52:31
said, keep me at my head above water, but Yeah,
52:34
I've not been great betting wise but At least
52:39
the Reds are entertaining They suck I can't remember
52:44
if we talked about this last time. I think it
52:48
was about this time last week. The Reds were
52:50
on a historic losing streak. They had lost. They
52:53
were the second team since 1920 to lose three
52:56
straight games, one to nothing. Ah. Well, they've
53:00
had worst historic losing streaks. Oh, let's
53:05
be clear about that. Yeah, but to not it when
53:08
they lost 20, whatever that was in a row a few
53:11
years ago. They were at least scoring some runs
53:14
in these losses. Not very many, but at least,
53:18
you know, one to hell, sometimes even three.
53:23
I mean, to lose three straight, they went thirty
53:26
six innings without scoring a run. That's they
53:30
were like a few away from the record. Jesus,
53:35
what's the record? That's rough. I think it's
53:36
thirty eight, thirty nine. No, no. The Cubs said
53:39
it way back in the 60s, I think. I think it was
53:42
the Cubs. But yeah, it's just they're all right.
53:47
They're up right now. Time by one. Yeah, they
53:51
were up five to one. It's six to five. They were
53:53
up four. It's a fucking team. I have the Giants
53:57
in a money line parlay. I don't care. The trend
54:03
center pick, and I just parlayed all their money
54:06
line winners. Uh, they had like three, the Reds
54:10
are just, there are means they are a means to
54:14
an end. They are here to keep me somewhat entertained
54:16
throughout the summer. If you can get me as close
54:21
to football season while being entertained as
54:23
possible. That's all I can ask. And then when
54:27
you're not, you can watch the league. Yeah. But
54:33
yeah, love them. All right, I Did remember a
54:39
story that I don't think either of you guys heard
54:43
Or you might have heard it, but uh, but I'll
54:46
go ahead and tell it it So did you guys see that?
54:51
Tortorella got fired. Yeah, so He he was talking
54:59
to the GM of the flyers and the GM was like do
55:04
you Do you even want to coach this team? And
55:07
he said, no. And then they fired him. And this
55:12
came after he got into like a fuck you match
55:16
with Cam Ward. No, not Cam Ward, Cam York. He
55:22
was like a young defenseman that the Flyers have.
55:25
And he got in like a fuck you match. And you
55:30
know, after he like Flubbed a pass and like the
55:34
first period of a game because torts is a psycho
55:36
and then like in the intermission they had they
55:41
were yelling at each other and And can York this
55:46
isn't a quote but he said something to the effect
55:48
of at least I'm going to be around here longer
55:51
than you are and Then he got benched for yeah,
55:56
he got benched for the rest of the game and then
55:58
they fired him right after the game Which I think
56:02
is kind of hilarious that is very funny. Do you
56:05
think that we're gonna coach again? Yeah Because
56:10
I mean the way hockey is it's a boys club it's
56:15
very tough to break into that especially when
56:19
you have You know all these all these great college
56:23
coaches looking to make the next step but It's
56:29
just like he He's such an old school guy. And
56:36
there's I've heard the the guys on the the the
56:41
spit and trickle podcast. No free shout out.
56:45
They talk about it. There's like two types of
56:46
coaches. There's players coaches and then there's
56:51
not players coaches. And those are your hard
56:54
asses. Your players coaches are the guys that
56:57
you love to play for because they're cool guys
57:00
like Like John Cooper, he's a cool guy, you know,
57:05
like after they won the four nation face off,
57:07
John Cooper was just like, yeah, man, you know,
57:09
this is, uh, this is really cool. You know, um,
57:13
glad the, the players did it. You know, this
57:15
is, uh, this is a great experience, but it's
57:18
like, dude, a hard ass coach would just be like,
57:20
you know, that's like Dan Hurley. Like they're
57:23
kind of psychos, you know, they're old school.
57:26
They're going to bag skate you if you You may
57:29
if you miss a pass if you if you give up a two
57:32
-on -one like Then there's always gonna be dudes
57:35
like that in the NHL Because typically when When
57:41
a player's coach is fired because they're not
57:43
good they hire they hire one of these old -school
57:45
guys to come over and take in and whip them into
57:48
shape and then if One of the you know, the hard
57:53
-ass coaches are fired. They bring in a player's
57:55
coach To kind of ease them up a little bit relax
57:59
them and put them on the right path The vicious
58:03
cycle yes, it is just cycle so he's not like
58:10
he doesn't play like mental warfare with with
58:13
players from I mean I just guess from just like
58:16
what I've heard he's just like a hard ass, but
58:18
I mean he's not like Babcock or Mike Keenan Those
58:23
guys are those guys are scumbags He doesn't do
58:27
that, which is good. What do you guys think if
58:33
they fire the Predators coach and we bring in
58:36
torts? No. No. No. Not really. I do want to say,
58:44
though, I love imagining Cam York just hitting
58:49
the jerry from the last dance. Like escort is
58:55
walking out, just like... Well, would you look
58:59
at that? Look at that. But no, I don't know who's
59:05
gonna replace Burnett. I feel it coming. Yeah,
59:10
I feel like they're gonna fire him. In this off
59:12
season, I feel it coming. How long? It's kind
59:14
of like when you're this bad, someone has to
59:16
be fired. Someone's gotta be fired. With the
59:19
roster we have, with the money we spent. Someone's
59:23
got to go and it ain't going to be Barry. I was
59:27
about to ask how long do you think Barry's got?
59:30
Because I think I respect him for taking a big
59:32
old swing, but. Damn, did he miss? Yeah, I think
59:36
if we're both missed on one. I mean, what do
59:40
you miss? The players or the coach? I guess you
59:44
could say both. I was talking about the players,
59:48
though. I mean, you spent how like the most money
59:50
of anyone and. The league and your third from
59:55
the bottom. I believe yeah, I mean Yeah, Burnett
59:59
will get fired before trots, but I think trots
1:00:03
has to wear some of this. Oh Yeah, I mean well
1:00:06
to me. I'm sorry. Well, go ahead. I mean like
1:00:09
all the players we signed they're all like 34
1:00:12
like 34 33 32 like they're past their kind of
1:00:18
prime, you know Yeah, and you know, I hate to
1:00:23
you know, talk about players like they're their
1:00:25
objects, but They're not humans. But at the same
1:00:28
time it's like dude They're thought the players
1:00:33
aren't play it, you know, and that's you know,
1:00:37
partially on the coach and It's it's just so
1:00:40
weird the way that it's it's shaking out like
1:00:45
Like I I hate it because like I went into this
1:00:48
season with so much hope So much hope. But, you
1:00:54
know, it's the hope that kills you, as we all
1:00:59
know, as Tennessee sports fans. I don't want
1:01:02
to have hope. Yeah. Costanza. My goal is to be
1:01:06
completely hopeless. Right. And it's just like.
1:01:14
Barry's got to wear this, but also like when
1:01:18
it's. It's when the players aren't playing. That's
1:01:22
a telltale sign. That it's it's the coach. You
1:01:26
know. You can't. You can't make a bad player
1:01:31
a good player, but you can make a good player
1:01:33
a great player and that's you know, that's that's
1:01:36
how a coach works. And he had great players.
1:01:42
Add that a little bit of passive prime, but I
1:01:44
mean Stanco scored 40 goals last year, you know.
1:01:48
The granted he scored like two last night, but
1:01:51
um almost three he almost got a hat trick last
1:01:55
night if it wasn't tipped in Yeah In he may not
1:02:01
even break 30 And it's it's just like the players
1:02:07
aren't playing and they're old and So it's kind
1:02:12
of on both of them, but it's you know, I Think
1:02:16
this is Barry's first year Well, he was like
1:02:21
the didn't they bring him in like two years ago,
1:02:25
but Yeah, he was like not like the fish was he
1:02:30
I thought it was some sort of like weird transition
1:02:32
thing where Poyle was like still kind of around
1:02:35
But trots was also there and I was almost shadowing
1:02:39
him. Yeah, I didn't know who was actually the
1:02:41
general manager that time So I don't know if
1:02:45
that counts That was a that was they they brought
1:02:50
in trots like a couple of weeks before the trade
1:02:54
deadline and we're like hey this guy's gonna
1:02:57
take over for Poyle at the like right after the
1:03:01
draft that'll be his last thing as GM and so
1:03:04
for now he's just gonna you know be with me and
1:03:07
I'm gonna show him the ropes and then that's
1:03:09
when Poyle traded Juno for a laundry list of
1:03:14
picks so It's a it's weird. It's kind of like
1:03:23
Trots still has Plenty of assets to work with.
1:03:26
I mean we have three first -round picks in this
1:03:28
next NHL draft Though the two extra ones we have
1:03:33
aren't that great because it's Vegas and Tampa,
1:03:37
but I mean as long as Neither of them win the
1:03:42
cup. Maybe one of them goes out first round then
1:03:45
that's gonna be like a 16 or 17 number pick and
1:03:50
that's still pretty good I will say about the
1:03:55
players you know the players that we signed they've
1:03:59
played in specific systems for a long amount
1:04:04
of time like a tenured amount of time especially
1:04:07
like Stamco's you can make the argument for per
1:04:11
se but he's kind of moved around Marchesot has
1:04:15
obviously moved around, but I don't know if that
1:04:20
has anything to do with it as well, just playing
1:04:22
in one system or like a variation of one system.
1:04:26
I know coaches and GMs go throughout a player's
1:04:30
tenure with the team, but I'm not saying that
1:04:35
I think we give Burnett another year, but I feel
1:04:38
like that could have been part of like their
1:04:41
slump is adapting. to a new team now granted
1:04:45
that it has taken them 70 plus games to get over
1:04:49
this this slump is not cool like you're a professional
1:04:55
you should have uh you should have probably figured
1:04:57
this out with the but also that kind of is like
1:05:01
if you don't really have a great coach then you
1:05:04
can't really learn the system the way you need
1:05:07
to i guess Was Marsha so he was with Florida
1:05:12
before Vegas, right? So Tampa, right? He was
1:05:16
he was with Florida Florida, but before that
1:05:18
he was with Tampa. Okay. Did he ever do anything
1:05:21
with Florida or Tampa? Yes. Was he like, okay,
1:05:24
I didn't know I guess obviously he was left unprotected
1:05:27
doesn't the expansion draft so I didn't know
1:05:28
if he was like I Obviously he was good, but I
1:05:32
didn't know if he was like This kind of player
1:05:36
that he was in Vegas so That's a whole other
1:05:41
tangent. We don't have to get into it. He scored
1:05:45
30 goals the year that the season before Vegas
1:05:50
took him. Oh wow, okay. They didn't even take
1:05:54
Marciusot. This is what Vegas did. Florida paid
1:06:00
them, paid Vegas to take Riley Smith because
1:06:05
they threw in Marciusot. Yeah So that's like
1:06:11
a yeah, tray tray and it was a trick considerations
1:06:16
Like they like Vegas wanted to take someone else
1:06:19
that was that was left unprotected and they were
1:06:22
like What if what if we give you these two players
1:06:25
instead? They paid they paid Vegas March to sew
1:06:33
in order for Vegas to take Riley Smith When you
1:06:39
say they paid them is this What do you mean like
1:06:42
they threw March or so in for that or they yes
1:06:45
gave them money on top? Okay Are you talking
1:06:47
currency or draft picks or players? players March
1:06:53
or so is the He's the yes So they wanted to take
1:06:59
someone else and then Florida was like, how about
1:07:02
you take Riley Smith and March or so instead?
1:07:08
That's interesting. I didn't know that I thought
1:07:09
they just yeah picked him. No, that's Yeah, and
1:07:14
that happened with a couple of these guys That
1:07:18
happened with a couple of different teams where
1:07:21
Vegas was paid in like Like a a couple of picks
1:07:26
to take this guy instead of this guy From a certain
1:07:30
team that they did that a couple of times But
1:07:34
but yeah, I mean Marcia so like when you talk
1:07:39
about the systems as well they're like yeah they're
1:07:43
with like teams for quite a while but also like
1:07:46
you know shea was in new york as a ranger and
1:07:53
you know i don't know how many head coaches he
1:07:55
had because he wasn't on the team when they were
1:07:58
great you know um and when the team isn't great
1:08:01
you know they kind of cycle head coaches and
1:08:03
i mean vegas had i think it took them three different
1:08:07
head coaches in order to win the Stanley Cup.
1:08:10
And Marcel was there for all of it. So it is
1:08:13
kind of like, yeah, they were in their systems.
1:08:16
I mean, Stamkos is really the only one who's
1:08:18
been in a consistent system for years. But, but
1:08:24
yeah. But yeah, we suck. I don't know when the
1:08:30
NHL draft is. There's a there's a chance we get
1:08:33
the first overall pick. There's a chance Because
1:08:38
we've pretty much locked up the third to last
1:08:40
spot But if we can get the first or second pick
1:08:45
I mean even the third pick even if we stay we're
1:08:48
gonna get a real good player Hopefully, um This
1:08:54
could be a dumb question Do we saw that Russian
1:08:57
goalie that we drafted few years ago like Asgarov
1:09:00
or something? No, I didn't think so We traded
1:09:05
him to San Jose This offseason. Yeah, okay. That's
1:09:10
why we have three I thought he wasn't so on the
1:09:12
team, but I didn't know for sure. That's yeah
1:09:15
the sharks the sharks gave up a First round pick
1:09:20
that was that's owned by Vegas Okay, mm -hmm
1:09:25
and we got another process That trade was so
1:09:30
long ago. We got one of their pretty good prospects
1:09:33
David enstrom. Yes, that's him. Yeah. Oh, before
1:09:39
we go here, because I do have to wrap this up,
1:09:40
we I was mistaken last week. The frozen four
1:09:45
