• 0:22
  Speaker 1: This is a great one. We can smell the third
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: round is a coming in Tyson Nash. Absolute standing, great
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: gap from JD is an awesome guy, obviously a former
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: player who does really great work for the Arizona Counties
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and now the Utah man with funny entertaining. He's got
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: great stories over the place. Plus let the news when
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it comes to the coaching ranks. Adam Foot is now
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the man in Vancouver, Rick Taka is now the man
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, and Ken Holland will now be the architect
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of the La Kings.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: All that, plus Corey Perry. This is forty but we
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: begin with the Trommee beliefs.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Just an absolute letdown. I mean, the maple leafs are
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: gonna maple leaf. It's one thing you can count on,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: death taxes and the leafs falling apart. In the playoffs,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I fell for Jady three to one in Game three.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I said, this is the year they're about to beat
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the defending Stanley Cup champions. They're gonna be the favorite
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: against the Keynes and the capitals. Then they woke up.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Then they realized that the Troney Police that they can't
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: do this. The demons, they're on them. They're hulking again,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and they fall down. It's something to lose, my man.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: But how do you lose at home? Pivotal Game five,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: biggest game in a long time, six to one one
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: fan throwing their Austin Matthews Jersey onto the ice. We'll
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: go through each of the big guns falling apart, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: your immediate reacts to Toronto falling apart.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm flabbergasted is a word, because I just can't.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I don't understand how you can come out that flat
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: for a game like that was as flat as you
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: could possibly come out in one in the biggest game
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: of a lot. This Core, you know Core four and
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: whoever's been around for a long time in this team.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: This is one of the biggest moments in the past
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: ten years easily for this franchise, and that was about us.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: You can't come out any flatter like they were not
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: generating everything. They played scared, they played sitting back on
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: their heels. They allowed Florida to take it to them,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: and it got worse as the game go on got
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: on it. It wasn't like they wrestled it back and
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: and and then obviously you couple that with you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: some unlucky goals. But to say that, what was it
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: who scored the goals again Mikola Uh? Was it mikolahap
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Greer scored like k Blad scored. H there's another d man,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Koulakoff scored. Like to say that these guys are the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: ones that took it to you. It wasn't the Barkoffs,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: it wasn't the Ryanharts, it wasn't the Sam Bennett's.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It was a Fortre, Florida defenseman.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty crazy, and I mean Lebrovsky great again,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thirty one saves.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Obviously Sam Bennett scores a six.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But you're right that the three goals in a seven
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to fifty three span of the second Peryer that's when
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: they pulled away.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and again it was bad turnovers.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: You know, our fearless leader, Bob Bender has been begging
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: on email for a for a jdpov. He loves, he
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: loves a jdpov. But you know, we we only get
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: one clip, So I'll give me a jd I'll give
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: him a jdpov.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: That goal that yes, per Boquist goal was ticcative. Yeah,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the puckets rimmed around.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Mitch Marner has time in a playoff series in the
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs, he has a second or two. So
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: get your head up and if the play's not there,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: you got to chip it up. He turns back. Everybody's
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: going north. The way that the Toronto ap Leaps want
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: to play, the way Craig Berube has built the system
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: is go north, play simple hockey, and then use your
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: legs and use your skill to create openings in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: neutral zone. He throws a spinner am a backhand pass
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: to god knows who. Nobody gets turned over in the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: neutral zone. And credit to Florida. They've slowly but surely
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: neutralized the neutral zone, which is a double entender or something.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that is. But neutralize the neutral zone,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: which you mentioned the other day.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I told you they've clogged it up. You can't get
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: through it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: They figured it out, and it and it seems like
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Florida just wait. It takes him like two games to
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: just kind of study the other team, and then they
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: just kind of clamp down. They did it against Tampa.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: They're doing it again this year, credit to their experience.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: But then not to mention after that spin around my
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: backhand pass, which is egregious by Mitch Marner, he then
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: has the gall to allow Yesperboquist to go to the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: back post and not even get a stick on him,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: just let him go unencumbered to tap it in. And
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Bob's your uncle. I mean, that was one of those.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: He looks skyward, he doesn't understand they panned to an
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: iso of him, and we're all just left wondering why
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: the hell did he make that decision? Because you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: for the first series all season, he's been their best player.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I can say it categorically, he has been. He was
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: their best player this year, and then first round as well,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, I don't know what's happened,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: if it's injuries or it's something, but he has just
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: made bad decision after bad decision. He looks disinterested. And
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I don't want to use that because I think everybody cares,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: but they looked like they just didn't give a shit.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: And that's the sad thing because this team has the capabilities.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: They won the first two games against Florida. And to
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: your point, they were up three to one in Game
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: three and then all of a sudden, it's just been
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: like an epic collapse. And do I think they can
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: win in Florida. Yeah, I think they can win in
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Florida and can still win this series. But if they
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: do not win this series, doesn't matter how good they
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: play in game six or Game seven. If they do
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: not win in Game seven or and they don't win
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: this series, everybody's gonna look back to this game. And
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: this game was just an epic fall. Flat on your face,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: egg on the face, whatever else you can throw on
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: your face, just not good and not good enough and unacceptable.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: And it just sucks because you know, I've shit talked
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the Lower Bowl in Toronto how it's lifeless and its corporate.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: But they didn't give him anything to cheer about tonight.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And yeah, it's ever since Arta Ocal at ESPN, ever
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: since he he did a crew drawing, like a paint
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: by numbers drawing of the parade route. After Game two,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: they have lost three straight.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I love that cow got great guy score alumni. By
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the way, he used to work at the same company
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: back in Toronto. By the way, earlier in the series.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You were right, Bobby did to look like Bob. Well,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: now you just missed the change. It looks shut up.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I mean Charlo did scored for one hundred and forty
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: three minutes and twenty five seconds.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: The great Snow he looks good.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: He looks locked in.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's it's scary when he's like that dialed in
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: it you can't. It looks like he's ten feet tall
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: in there and covers the whole net.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it's pretty amazing too when you look at the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: leafs big Star. So Bob is playing great. But Matthew's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: ten career second round games, all against Florida zero goals.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Mitch Marner ten career second round games, all against Florida.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Two goals.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: John Tavar's fifteen career second round games, three goals. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: know there's plenty of blame to go around, jad I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: get it, But it doesn't matter what sport it is.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: If your best players don't perform, you're not gonna win, period.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's that's a irrefutable fact. But the one thing
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: that really pisses me off in this game specifically, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't get to it because I wanted to let
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: you kind of get to those numbers and putting all
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: that aside. They're up six nothing, there's five six minutes left.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: You still have two games left in the series. There
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: should not be a puck on the ice. It should
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: just be you trying to get your pound of flesh.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: You should be trying to I'm not saying I'm not
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: advocating to injure people, but you should be borderline cheap shotting,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: dirty cheat like you're trying to get in on everybody.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: And then you got You could hear on TV Matthew
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: could chuck yelling at William Neelander after every shift. You
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: heard it about five times, him saying, weey, you're getting
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: on the ice. Wheey. Not a fucking guy got up
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: and said boo, didn't tell Matthew could talk to stop.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Nobody went and jumped him. They just let them kind
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: of run around. And I'm not saying I'm the toughest
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: guy in the league, but at least take a run
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: at him. And then he's following Kneelander around. Mar Shaank
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: grabbs Kneeland in a headlock. There's no urgency. You have
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: some guys in the back end. Jake McCabe. You got
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Brandon Tannev's who's not the toughest but he can fight.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: You got Lorentz, you got these guys. You got Max
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Dolemy grab somebody, I don't care who it is. Cross
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: check them, cross check them. Take a suspension if you
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: have to turn the tide. Because what that showed me
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: was a team that's like, oh, this game's over, series
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: might be over. Good night, We're out of here, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you just gave all the am If I'm Florida, I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: in that room being like, these guys are dead in
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: the water. We got our foots on their throat. All
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: we gotta do is just press a little bit more
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: and they're gonna cave. They're gonna conclave like that. They're
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: gonna concave. Yeah, Pope's poping. They're just gonna cave in
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and they're gonna throw in the towel and say woe
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: is me? And that's what really got me and put
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: a little uh and just pissed me off. So and uh, yeah,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: there we go.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I love it, man, passionate and you're right about it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: It's more than just a superstar players.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And here's what's sock shocking to me, it's a Craik
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: brew team that Craig Ruby is tough.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: We have an update though a little bit. Oilers have
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: an update.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: What do you got?

• 9:35
  Speaker 3: get back to Berubay and then we'll we'll give but
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: go to Berubay, go to Brubay and and talk about
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Brubay because I wanted to hear that, and then we'll
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: we'll do some Edmonton stuff.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: All I was gonna say is to your point, if
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you don't win the battle, at least win the war, right,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: so you lose the game.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: That happens.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: But a Craig Bruby led team, there's one thing you
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: know about these guys, hard nosed, tough, feisty, send a message.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You're just gonna go out limp like that, like just
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: like a limp handshake like that. That to me, I'm like,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: how is Chief not getting in everybody's face to go
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: go with there and do something your point. I'm not
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: saying be dirty, not seeing be reckless, but cine met
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: this series is not over. We're gonna win game six
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and game sevens in our barn and we can do
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this like that is just thank out there.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Take a Sealis or something. Guys, get hard Greek porn hard.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Come on, I can't wait till take a sealois and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: get Greek hard. You know, only Jason Demeres can mix
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: like you know, high and low culture in the midst
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of like using words like irrefutable and flabbergas and and goal.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Then you can quote see Alex.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: And hey listen intelligence baby. All right, Well, for good
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: or bad, we'll see what the others get confirmed the
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: means and it's confirm a okay, Oilers done.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Okay before we can't go against the others again, but
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Oilther's Stars and we said before Winner of Stars and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Avelantes could win the Stanley Cup. We won't give our
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: predictions just yet, but hell of a series for the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: How about Skinner Pickard was the guy your boy, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Skinner goes, I got two shutouts for you right here,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I'm Cy Young all of a sudden incredible.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: He's like the Freddie Anderson of the West, Like all
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: he needs is a little bit of rest. And this
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: guy comes back kicking. I mean two games in a row. Yeah,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I mean right now, you have to he just wrestle
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the game back and I just think, but again, you
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: can't say enough good things about Calvin Piccard. He comes
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: in again two years in a row and saves the
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: oiler seasons, allow the oiler season, allows Stuart Skinner time
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: to get him himself back into a good mental state,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and he comes out and just plays fantastic hockey. Now,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: on the negative side, the Vegas goal of the Knights,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: they have a lot of they got to look in
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: the mirror. I think they got and I'm here's why, Okay,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say why won Aid. I think Aiden Hill
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: had didn't have his best series. He played great tonight.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I think guys are running him and getting his head
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: No dred percent, but I think Minnesota Wild took their
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: pound of flesh from Vegas. They they hit them so
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: much in that series. I think they wore them down
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: and it just took a little bit of Edmonton leaning
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: on them to kind of push them over the edge
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: because they look banged up. I think Petra Angelo's really hurt.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: They were missing Mark Stone. You know, you've Icel who
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: was kind of by himself, because those are two huge pieces.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I thought Shay Theodore looked timid all series. Brad McNabb's
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: obviously hurt, So you're missing all of these these key guys.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: And I just thought Edmonton's depth and the fact that
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: they just pounded the shit out of Vegas and it's
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: kind of listen, Vegas kind of was so they've they've
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: been so dominant because of their defensive structure, and I
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: think teams are starting to figure out that they're not
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: the toughest team, so you can really just lean on them.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: And Edmonton took kind of a page out of the
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Florida Panthers handbook and just made it really ugly, really dirty,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: and again casperry kappen and scores the game winning goal.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: This was a series. This is a playoffs that does
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: not have any of Leon Drysdel and Connor McDavid being
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: the only guys scoring and producing on this team. This
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: is by collective. This is an effort by the whole team.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: And last year when they got to the finals Edmonton,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: it kind of only came in the finals when they
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: found like that third line of Connor Brown, Yan Mark
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: and Henrik that really started to be depth scoring for them.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: They're getting it super early right now from everybody. So
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: this is a team that I'm like, I don't think
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: any of us had Edmonton, let alone Gate let alone
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: round one, we didn't have any A majority of people
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: had La but I think everybody had Vegas. And they've
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: just walked through Vegas like they walked through the Vegas
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Golden Knights. Like this was not even close. This wasn't
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: even a series. This last game was the closest one.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: And to see Casperry Kapenan, who was out of the lineup,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: comes back in off of an injury and just goes
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: and scores the game winning goes biggest game of his
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: career in overtime.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Amazing news, fabutories. We'll talk about it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, you're pretty loud, still live Canadian team
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: could win the Stanley Cup.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: They were still cooking, baby, we got one one left
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: out of the three because Winnipeg's fucking dead in the water.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: So two more thoughts. A lot of focus on Connor Hallibuck.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, we kept talking about what was gonna
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: happen in Game four. Well he wasn't horrible, It wasn't great.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: They still lost three to one, but they didn't well
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: we called it right, Yeah, should have been as you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: were joking about comedy storting. But how about some love
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: for Jake Ottinger. Ten goals in his last five games,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: that's it. He's been rocks off for the Stars. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: speaking of goalis, you mentioned Freddie Anderson, Caps and Knes.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: That could be over Thursday night for Game five. They've
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: neutralized their offense. Watched it the second most potent offense
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the regular season for Freddy Anderson right now, con smythe conversation.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if Freddy Jake Odinger, we're seeing some
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: really really great goaltending performer and says and Connor Hellibuk,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: unfortunately is not one of those guys who's the odds
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: on VESNA favored. He's probably gonna run away with it. Potentially,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: there was talk that he would win the Heart Trophy,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: right and he has just come up, come up, lame again.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: And I think the bigger thing is the road. Wow,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: the road woes for the Winnipeg Jets. I mean they've
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: lost nine straight on the road now in the playoffs.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Is that is unacceptable And it's not Listen, it's not
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: just Connor, Okay, it's the lack of scoring on the road.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: They just can't seem to find their rhythm. They can't
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: seem to find their footing. And I think that they're
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: so worried about making sure Connor's comfortable back there that
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: they're forgetting to go out and actually play their game,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: which is more of a high potent offense than people think.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: And they're just kind of stuck in the middle. And
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: so yeah, for them, they need to figure that out.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I think they're gonna give their best effort here in
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Winnipeg and then it's gonna be what can they do
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: back on the road. But yeah, to Freddy Anderson, and
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: to your point, I think arrested Freddy Anderson is one
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: of the you know, he's a top five goal in
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: the NHL and can be, and he's showing it. And
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: listen that the system of Carolina is really ensuring him
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: that he's not getting a ton of work, but when
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: he's called upon, he's been rock solid. And I call
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: it that. It's a little bit weaker in the Metropolitan
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: for Carolina, and they've had I think an easy two rounds.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: You know, I think Jersey was the walking dead and
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Washington looks very tired and fatigued after I think a series,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: even though it went five against Montreal, that was pretty
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: taxing on them, and I just think they're running out
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: of gas. But they're going to probably get Florida or Toronto,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: and it's going to be interesting to see Caroline against
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Florida Toronto. But this is shaping up to be one
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: hell of a conference finals on both sides of the coin,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: because I was hoping a Carolina team that's often pretty
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: polarizing with fans because it's like watching paint dry. They're
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: kind of they got a chip on their shoulder right now.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: So and wouldn't it be amazing Meek ran in against
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: the Carolina Hurricanes, Oh my god, in the finals.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: The revenge Tour, I mean, the second round could have
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: three series ending in five games.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I love that, though let's get to the Hey, let's.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Get the point. You're not gonna come back all the
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: way and just move on and.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Get to the finals. Let's get let's get this over with.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Like I think the Jets will prolong the inevitable. I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: think they win game five. I think they lose Game six.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Capitals win Game five. Think the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Kynes will dispatch them in five. But your point, if
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna win to this, move on just losing five,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: don't don't waste my ti.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing. The second round for me, I despise
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: in the NHL playoffs. I love the first round, the
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: second rounds, the reset, I love the conference finals, and
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: then of course you gotta you gotta love the finals.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: The second round is my least favorite of the four.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: That's a fair point.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: It's just because, well because there's a lot of teams
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: that went through like the Battle and I know, you
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: know that they're unfortunately banged up and they're just like
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: hanging on. And then if they win that series and
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: they're really dead for the conference finals and they get
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: walked through by the team that they face in the
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: conference finals, so it's like I want those teams kind
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: of done with. Like I think Vegas is banged up.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I want them, Let's get get rid of him, get Vegas. Yeah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: and then you look at Winnipeg and you know Connor's
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: been bad on the road and horrible on the road.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: So I don't want to see him win another round
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: because I want to see Dallas, who's been a very
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: solid team. Edmonton a very solid team, Carolina very solid team,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: and then Florida a very solid team. As much as
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I'd love to see Toronto. Yeah, uh, I don't know
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: if they can beat They've beat Florida two in a row.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: They beat him in the first two games. They got
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: to do it again.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Chips are down now when child things are gone, get easy.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great seventies song and speaking of there's no segue really.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Tyson Nash is coming up after this. One of the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: great instigators and did a phenomenal job. Right now, the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Utah Mammoth Tusks up with Tyson Nash after this.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Oh our next guest.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Drafted by the Vancouver Canucks the tenth tour forty seventh
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: overall in the nineteen ninety four NHL draft. Were playing
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy four NHL games with the Blues
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and Coyotes. He became a radio analyst for the Arizona Coyotes.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: He has served as a color commentary of the franchise
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: ever since, including this past season when they came to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Utah as Utah Hockey Club before recent becoming the Utah
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Mammothan check on his shirt, tusks up, Tyson, Nash, Great.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: To see it, man, thanks so much for the time.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Oh wait, how about that resume? I think everyone just
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: did you or end after that one, They're like, who.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: The hell is the worst resume I've ever I've ever
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: heard of it?
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Way draft, I mean, you name it?
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Well, let's go.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Hey, the japan Nippon paper cranes.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Man, we're missing.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, let's start with the name Tyson.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Because I was really pushing hard for the Utah Yetie,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I know the was some cock produce or something. JDC
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: didn't mind Utah Hockey Club. I said, no way, that's
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: way too European influence. So I'll take Maybeth.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: If that's what we're gonna do, I'll go tusks up.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think everyone was really kind of hoping. I
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: think including Ryan Smith and Ashley on the Yetti right,
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: changing the yettis if you if you have to, yes,
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: but obviously I think there was some restrictions there with
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: with using the Yetti name, so that it was back
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: to the drawing board. I love the Utah Hockey Club,
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: I really did. But that being said, I now that
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: I've been to Utah. I was there for the the
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: naming announcement.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: I mean it was electric.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: The fans, how they've taken to it, the whole tusks
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: up thing. I mean, just everyone jumping on board, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: then obviously everyone that bought I mean, and I'm talking
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: like the hockey fans in Utah. It is electric, you guys,
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: I mean, JD, you've been there yet from day one,
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, and it was like that from day one
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: to the last day of the season to the naming
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: rights announcement, everyone was just overloading a store, buying up
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: everything they possibly could. Now with Mammoth right, so it's
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: actually kind of genius. Everyone bought the Utah stuff and
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: now they're all buying the Mammoth stuff all over again.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: So it's working. They're excited about it, and I kind
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: of like it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: It fits all.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Right, Tyson. How about the draft?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I know people are talking with the Islanders going up
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: from ten to one, but Utah you go from fourteenth
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: to fourth. How exciting is that for the team?
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Massive? It's a game changer. I know when had happened.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Ryan Smith immediately blew up my phone. He's like, this
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: is an absolute game changer. We have a massive.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Bullet in the chamber. You know whether you're going to
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: use it? Draft up?
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's so many options, right, but again, you
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: can't help them go back to Arizona, right and go
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: it never happened.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: We never moved up in the draft. I mean sure,
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: We tried to lose in Arizona and we even we
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: couldn't even lose right, right. But now Utah they get
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: they get a chance to move up ten spots in
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: the draft. And I know, talking to Bill Armstrong at
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: the naming reveal, he I mean, he.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Couldn't take the smile off his face.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: He's like, we were looking at players, obviously good players,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: but at fourteen it's a different animal at four right,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: So now it's going to make a significant impact with
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: where this team wants to go, and they want to
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: get there quickly.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: I can promise you that Ryan Smith he wants to go.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: He's got a split on the gas title.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: He wants this rebuild to end and he wants to
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: win now, which I think is music to everyone's ears.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Talk a little bit about the show you're doing for UTAH.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I find it's so cool and refreshing to see these
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: kind of like live streaming and you've really taken this
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: show under your wing. I think it's on Apple TV
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, or one of those channels. And
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: but you kind of do this really cool thing during
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: the game, So just kind of explain and talk about
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: it so we can kind of direct fans that way
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: as well during the next season.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I appreciate that, JD.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Obviously, it's been a real heavy lift for me. It's
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: been the hardest year of my life for sure. I've
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: never done anything even remotely close for this. You know,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: you're you're broadcasting games between the bench. Now you've got
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: your own TV show. And when Ryan Smith came to me,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: and I think it was late September, he was like, I.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: Think you're the perfect guy for the job.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if anyone's seen the Peyton Manning cast,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: it's a very different experience, right, And how to take
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: in a football game and Pat McAfee. It's kind of
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: a combination, right of Pat McAfee.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Show and Peyton Manning Cast.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: And right away I was like, hey, Ryan, you understand
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: like I'm neither of those guys.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: I'm Tyson. I've never won a Stanley Cup. I'm not
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: a Hall of Famer.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Like I've had a since size Rollodex, but that's about
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: all I have.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: And He's like, no, I've sat with you.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I've spent time with you, you know. So basically what
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: we do is we would have you know, an ex
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: NHL player or an actress or an actor, and we
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: would be live streaming the game and we'd be sitting
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: in these chairs and.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: We basically interview the guests all game long.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Right, we talk about the game a little bit, but
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: more so it's about diving into the stories and the
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: great stories because, as you guys know, in broadcasting, they
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: always tell you tell stories. We want the audience to
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: be able to get to know the players better. And
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I'm like, you can't tell a story in a live
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: hockey game.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: You just can't. Things happen too.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Fast, goals are scored, you're over talking, you're talking over
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: you're play by play guys.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: It's an absolute.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Joke when it comes to that, right and your ability
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: to tell stories. So Ryan and Ashley have basically given
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: me a show and an opportunity to bring guests on
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: and just.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Show the fans, you know, the great personalities.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: But I'm like JD you know, I mean, we've got
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: the best stories in the in the world, I mean,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: and to be able to share those the ones that
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: we can't share with our audience is I think is
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: a gift and I think people are really starting to
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: enjoy it our social media.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: Unfortunately, we're just getting it out there, I think in
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: the next coming coming weeks.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: So the content that we have created, which is unbelievable,
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've had guys on like Mark Grace, Chris Pronger,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Paul Best and that commodore, I mean, all the characters
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: right in pro sports.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: And it's it's a chance for everyone just to listen
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: to these stories.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: You will absolutely last laugh your asshole at some of
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: the content that we've created.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: So it's going to be out there in the next
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: coming weeks.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: We've also started a podcast, Like everybody, I think if
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: you don't have a podcast nowadays, like, what's wrong with
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: this guy? We have a we have a nash Cast
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: podcast coming for the Utah Hockey Club, so we'll be
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: doing fifty two of those next year.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: So I'm really excited about what's to come.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: A very busy man.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: It's certainly a prolific in talented what we're talking with,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Tyson Nash Tyson. Since you mentioned Paul Bissonette, how about
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the fact his media career started up filming pillow Talk
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: segments with you What do you make a bus Nasty's runs?
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's unbelievable, right, He's like the Howard Stern
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: of hockey, and he really is kind of how he
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: started and to now where he's gotten to, you know.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: And I used to like kind of laugh at it.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: I mean not laugh at I'll never laugh at anyone
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: for trying something right and trying to be creative and
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: starting something new.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: But I think when podcasts kind of first came out,
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. I mean I was
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: supposed to start one with Mike Commodore.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: It was called in one his famous tagline, right, and
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: I'm like, this is a joke.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: What am I doing? No one's going to listen?
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: To it, and here I have, you know, a number
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: of years later, and I'm like, why didn't I start
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: a podcast?
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Right? Because of how successful they've all been.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: And I think everyone in the sports world and the
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: entertainment world, they want to be entertained.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: They want to hear stories, just like you guys are doing.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: And I mean you have your group and you have
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: your people that you know come on and tune in
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: every day, whether it's they're drive to work or relaxing
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: at night before bed.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're taking in content.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: So if you're a good storyteller and you have the
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: ability to, you know, put your personality out there, I mean,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: what an opportunity. But for what Busines has done, I
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: mean it's insane, it really is. Every I travel around
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: with this guy sometimes, I mean I could do with
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Wayne Gretzky and Paul Bisonette, and Paul Bisonette is way
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: more well known.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Than It's nuts.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: It's nuts, right, like you.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Think of that of like this is absolutely crazy. Every kid,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: every girl wants to talk to this. You go through
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: an airport, you go, we've had breakfast. Not too long ago,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: he had fifteen people come up to him. I mean,
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: obviously that site had a lot to do with it too.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, it just it just keeps snowballing for this guy,
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: and there's not a better guy it can happen to.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: This guy made no money playing hockey and what he
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: has turned that personality into.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: And you know, just the fans, the players that everyone
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: loves the guy.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: How fun are those pillow talk segments? And I know
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: we talked about it a little bit at his his
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: birthday party, but there is some just what were some
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: of the great stories that you guys heard or shared?
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: And you know what, Bady like, that's the thing. Like
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: everyone's like, do you miss playing anymore? I'm like, not
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: a chance to miss playing. I mean you watch the
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: playoffs and you're like, okay, I'd love to, you know,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: play one of those games. I mean that's a different animal, right,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: But I don't miss playing. I do miss the paychecks
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: a little bit, But I missed the boys. I missed
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: the story time. I missed sitting in bed having plogging
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: off ice cream, you know, room service before you fall asleep,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: telling stories and you know, like dinners the night before,
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: having a glass of wine over a big steak with
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: the group, right with the guys, there's nothing like it.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: So we brought back pillow Talk and it was kind
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: of before everything really kind of you know, social media
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: and podcasts really kind of kicked off. I mean, if
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: you go on YouTube and you type in pillow Talk,
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: I mean some of the stories are absolutely crazy.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: We had Alice Cooper on there.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: You know, we had everyone, I mean, Shit, Ray Whitney,
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: yourself and some of the best stories again too, I
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: think out there right now.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: And I think we're going to try to bring some
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: of that back.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know who owns that content, but for our Nashcast,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: which is the name of my show, I want to
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: bring some of that stuff back because you know, it's
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: just so funny and just so crazy, some of the
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: stuff that we have lived through and you know, been
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: able to tell it's funny.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Soon as I talked to enforcers and tough guys, right,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Jody Shelley's too, Grimpson and afi Ice, it couldn't be nice, right,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: sweethearts much like yourself, engaging, funny, trumming guy on the ice,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: classic instigator, great shit disturber.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: What's the most you ever pissed off an opponent?
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, I'll never forget.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: We were in the playoffs against the San Jose Sharks,
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: and Tony Twist was retired at the time, and he
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: was back in Saint Louis and Kelly Chase came up
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: to me and Tony Twist's ex wife was apparently playing
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: cards in the room when they were in Sant San
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: Jose or in Saint Louis the game before, and you know,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: I kind of embellased the whole story, and I'm like,
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: oh my god, Tony Twist's wife was in your guys'
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: hotel room playing cards, So I'll never forget.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: I think it was. I think it was Owen Nolan.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: I said, hey, I'm just telling you.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: I know you and Twister used to be good buddies,
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: but he is going to absolutely murder you and everyone
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: that was in that hotel room with his ex wife.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: I go, I don't know what happened in that hotel
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: that I was I know it was nothing good.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: And Tony Twist is going to lose his fucking mind
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: on you. I mean, Tony Twist is one of the
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: toughest guys to ever play. Literally every face off for
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: the first twenty five minutes of the hockey game one
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: of them came.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Out there and was like, we did nothing with her.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: We didn't touch her, we were just playing card. She's
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: a friend of ours. I don't know what you're talking about.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: What's going on? This is a joke.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: And literally after the game, the second the game ended,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: I had about twenty text messages on my phone and
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: calls from Twister doing what did you do? What did
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: you say? So I know they went on the other side.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: They were on their phones going we didn't do anything.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: This is a total joke. Nash stirred up shit and
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: like literally they couldn't even focus on the hockey game
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: that night.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Made us the same. We absolutely drummed them, but.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: We ended up losing the series, but sadly, but oh
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: my god, it was so it was so freaking funny.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: But Kelly Chase just wound me up, sent me out.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: There with all this material and take much to stir
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: them up.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: What's the what's the best chirp you've heard thrown your way?
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Man, I always, I got yeah, I always.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Brady Kitchuk called me a keith yandle wannabe and I
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: was I was in Arizona. I was dying, la. It's
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: so fucking good.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean I've heard them all right.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: I mean I I have I have a nose that
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: kind of gives it away. It's like a baked potato,
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: like focus cigar on the shower. But I remember Jason
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Strudwick one time, he goes, hey, I heard Larry Klowe
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: offered you a million dollars or a nose full of nickels.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's pretty bad when your whole.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Team right on your bench is laughing at you and
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: laughing with the other team.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: So it was, yeah, it was. It was a pretty
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: good one.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the fact if you were out there with
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Bis and Gretzky more people are talking to Bis nasty.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: But you're coaching your last season was Wayne Gretzky. What
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: was it like, Tyson having the great one by the bench.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: It was crazy? You know.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Actually, when I got traded from the Saint Louis Blues
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: at the draft, I'll never forget. I got this phone
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: call from an area code I didn't Uh, I didn't
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: know many people from the three one O area code.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: I'm like hello, He's like, hey, Tyson, this is Wayne Gretzky.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, good one whatever I'm like, which one
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: of my idiot buddies does this?
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Right? And a man up on him and he calls
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: me back. He's like, don't hang up, don't hang up.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: It's it's Waine. It's Wain. We just traded for you.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, yeah, right, Larry Plow hasn't called me yet.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: It was the GM of the Blues.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Literally the first phone call I got I was Wayne Gretzky.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: I'm like, how cool was this? I grew up in Edmonton.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: I literally had Wayne Gretzky wallpaper and bet sheets when
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I was When I was a kid, I think every
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: kid did, right. I mean, he's the great, one, best
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: player to ever ever play. And now he's he's calling
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: me on the phone telling me how excited he is
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: that I'm going to be on his team in Arizona.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: So it was pretty crazy. I mean it really was.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: You had to pinch yourself, you know, with him telling
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: you what to do, the meetings before games, you know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: getting on the plane, all of it.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's a full time job.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I'll just say this, it's a full time job being
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Wayne gretz peek with just everything that this guy has
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: to deal with, right, from fans, the kids, all of
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: it right to him being an NHL coach, So it
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: was it was pretty unique, to say the least, but
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: it was also one of the most heartbreaking things that
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: I've ever been through. It we laugh about it today
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: when I bring it up to him, because you know,
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: he was my biggest idol, right, I mean, I worshiped
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: this guy, and then he was the guy who ended
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: my NHL career, sending me down to the American Hockey
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: League after I played eight or.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Nine years in the NHL. I'll never forget sitting in
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: his office, Mahogany would everywhere.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god. I got called into his office.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: I thought it was, you know, gonna be something good.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden he's like, oh, I hate to
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: say this, but we got to send you down to
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: San Antonio. And I was just like, oh my god,
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: this is my hero. Like just absolutely ripped and broke
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: my heart. But I will say this, Gretz was amazing
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: and I can see why he's won and has so
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: much success. Not only was it because he's the best
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: player in the world, but when I became and he
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: got me into radio and eventually TV, he goes, I'll
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: take care.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Of you forever. You know, like, as long as you.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Work hard and show up and you know, be a
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: good teammate, you have a job for forever in broadcasting.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: And he was right.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: But every trip we would land, say we would land
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: in San Jose, it was mandatory, not for the players,
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: but all the trainers, all the media. They had to
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: put their bags in their room and come down to
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: the hotel lobby and have one drink at least minimum,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: have one drink, whether it was a beer or a coke,
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: died coke, whatever it was, you had that one drink
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: with Wayne Sky and he would sit there and tell stories.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: And we were just like, oh yeah, and we're.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Just like this is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: And you want to talk about a storyteller, this guy
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: the sky was blue, you know, like it was he
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: every detail, this guy had it.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: And you're just sitting on the edge of your seat
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: just from offening at the model regrets and all the
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: stories that this guy had.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, you had another legendary coach, Joel Quinnville, and
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: you got any thoughts on him returning to Anaheim, and
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: you think it's a good move. For him in that franchise.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: No, it's about freaking time and the Anaheim Ducks and Pat.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: Verbeek, I mean.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Pat for Beek.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: There's been some questionable moves, you know, to say, to
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: say the least, and let's just get this out there.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: Zegres, I mean, how's things going with Zegres right now?
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, what's going on there? Maybe I was right
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: about the kid.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know, call me crazy because I took some
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: massive beat back in the day, and I can tell
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: you some stories of some conversations me and him had.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: In fact, I had to chase him down the hallway
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: after one. In one conversation we had as the game's
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: going on, he chirped me between the benches and I'm like,
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: oh yeah, And I'm like, are you kidding me? I
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: can't tell you what the guy said. I'd love to,
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: but it wasn't pretty anyway. I chased from down in
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: the hallway. I'm like, is this freaking kid kidding me?
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: This is unbelievable anyway, God bless Joel Quimville. He is
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: going to change that organization. This is a guy that
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: can handle. Joel Quinville's best gift and biggest I don't
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: know what the word is, but just his strength as
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: a coach is managing personalities. And when you hit back
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: to the Chicago Saint Louis, I mean he had Pierre
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: turs On, padl Dmetria, Chris Pronger, Alan mckinnis, Scott Mellanbie,
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Doug Waite, Keith Chuck, He managed Mike Keane, one of
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: the best personalities in the game, but biggest personalities. He
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: found a way to manage all those guys and bring
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: out the best of them, right, And I think that
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: is a is a gift and that's what Joel his
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: biggest strength. And actually it is on top of you know,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: all the attention to details. So Anaheim is very lucky
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: and I'm so excited that because the NHL is a
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: better place with jo All Quindle in it.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Well said, with those thoughts on Q last one for
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: you here, Tyson. You finished your career playing on the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: nip On paper cranes in the Japanese League. Let's how
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: much they love baseball in Japan. I'm curious with the
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: hockey passion there.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: What it says.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Nazimoto, You know what, it was the perfect way to
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: end uh end a bad career, right, I mean I
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: didn't have I didn't have the greatest career, but it
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: was a perfect one. I got a phone call from
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Jamie mcleann and a good buddy of my longtime NHLer
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: uh He said.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Listen, I'm going to Japan.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Joel Dick, a good friend of ours, was playing over there.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: He goes, hey, they're they're looking to spend some money
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: and bring some some guys over that have NHL experience.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: You guys want to come, and we jumped at it.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: I didn't have any other offers, so it was a
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: great way to wind down your career, kind of learn
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: about life as a civilian, right, knowing that the money
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: is going to slow down, and just kind of preparing
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: yourself for post hockey career. But it was a paid vacation.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: I will call it the most incredible culture. The people
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: were amazing, My teammates very skill.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: The Japanese are so skilled, so talented. The physical yeah,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: hard workers, the physical side of the game, and maybe
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: the you know, the hockey hockey sense if you will,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: maybe lacks a little bit. But what an incredible experience
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: to go over there, play and again wind down your
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: career and get ready to try to figure out what
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: you want to do after hockey, which obviously got into broadcasting.
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: The best thing I've ever done broadcasting. You guys know this.
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, it doesn't get any better than talking hockey.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: For Dyson Nash, one of the best in the game.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Certainly, man, I love the self deprecation, but you were
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: a better player than you realize, and certainly you're a
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: great broadcast on that we can all agree.
• 40:14

• 43:01
  Speaker 2: He smiles.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: He goes, I'm not signing, smiles plainly I'm not signing,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: and he goes, I know.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Can you just size? He's like, I'm not signing. It's
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: just pictures and you know, the book, and that's it.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: And he's like maybe after he's like, okay, maybe so
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: same thing the other guy's doing as well. And I go,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I'm so curious to find out if he's actually gonna
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: sign after they go.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Here's what happens.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Sometimes after the whole circus dies down and he's going
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: to his car with his handlers, you go, hey, Kelso,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: can you just sign this?
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: He'll sign it. I go, let's see what happens. What
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: do you think? Yes or no?
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Do you think Kelse Grammer signed these three guys? Is
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: memorabilly on the way to his car.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Negative.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I want you guess he went one for three way
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: he signed one the other two Zacher's okay quickly, and
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: then I guess a bunch of other people the same idea.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I think. I just thought I can't. I can't. That's it.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: So I have an autographed copy of Kelsei Grammer book
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to get my sister along, and a
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: picture of me with Kelsey Grammer, even though I'm not
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: a big.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Fan, we can superimpose her in there. Hey Fraser, long
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: live KG.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: You got al Pacino behind you too, which I love.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Scarface Michael Carlyon.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Oh the best have you read?
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Apparently used to smoke forty cigarettes a day, which I'm
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: like that I could definitely see, like when you watch
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Pacino movies.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: Like forty forty lefties a day. He's just crushing darts,
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: ripping the d'Artagnan.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: A guy who doesn't smoke cigarettes is Adam Foot. He's
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: a new head coach of the Vancouver Canucks.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: A legendary defense as a player A system with the
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Canucks is January twenty twenty three, a defensive coach also for.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: The Colrado Alleys for seven seasons.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Canucks captain Quinn Hughes, previously called but the best defensive
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: coach he's ever had, had to factor in the decision.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Right, jad Hmmm.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Why would they put Adam Foot as the head coach
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: when they're looking the only thing they're looking to do
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: is salvage this team is keep Quinn Hughes happy. And
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Quinn Hughes has been in the media multiple times saying,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Adam Foot love him best coach I've had, so Jim
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Rutherford and all of his his wisdom goes, you know
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: why we gotta keep this kid happy. Adam Foot, you
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: are the head coach. How much money do you want?
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: And I feel like it's as simple of an analogy,
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: is that now, not to say that Adam Foot hasn't
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: earned that right and everything I've heard and I talked
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: with Micro up today about Adam foote is he's a
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: fantastic coach and great on that bench. His his his
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: playing career speaks for itself in all those things. And
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: you know he has the experience and he communicates well
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: with the guys. But yeah, this is by and large
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: to keep Quinn Hughes happy because it is a sinking ship,
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: the Vancouver Canucks. That ORCA has been harpooned.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, and actually.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: And Jim Rutherford's trying and and Patrick alviner trying to
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: salvage this team because it's going in the wrong direction
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: in a hurry. So this is a this is a
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: nice step in the right direction finally by these guys.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: But it's not gonna matter Quinn. Who's gonna sun. I
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: want to play with my brothers. I'm going to New Jersey, Like.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: You're delaying the inevitable because why you know, we said it.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: We're like, why wouldn't Quinn Hughes want to play with
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: his brothers? Why wouldn't you play in the NHL with
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: your brothers growing up and not have that fantasy of hey,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: would be awesome if we can all play together. And
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: now the door because of you know, Alvin and Brutherford
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: just losing their minds is just slightly cracked open. And
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: now it's a possibility. So why wouldn't you want to
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: go for that? And then if I'm Rutherford, I'm like,
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: you know, swing for the fences to keep him there
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: and hopefully you can draw him in from New Jersey
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: because who knows where which side's going to do the trade.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: I assume Quinn Hughes would be going to Jersey, but
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: you know, time will tell. But yeah, it's a it's
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: a goddamn mess in Vancouver. But good signing, badam foot, Congratulations, motherfucker.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Great defense with no question, loved with the avalanche of
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: all those years with that beak. You spotted them a
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: mile away as well.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, meantime, Rick, talk now the head coach of
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Flyers. Drafted by the Flyers, played parts of
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: eleven seasons in Philadelphia before coaching stints in Tampa, Arizona
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and Vancouver.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Clearly, JD the Flyers are trying to win the PR War.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: We're not a good team.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: But guess what, Danny Breer former flyer Keith Jones Forberflyer,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Rick Talket for over File, Let's remind you of all
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: the glory days while this team probably goes to another
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: non playoff season.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: What do you make of the Tacket move.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, he absolutely went in with a ski mask
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: and just robbed the Philadelphia Flyers. And Danny Frere was
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: it to the tune of twenty five million over five years.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, congratulations getting that deal, having a couple
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: winning seasons as a head coach in his in his tenure,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: in his career of head coaching, and to get that
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: is just incredible, especially the way his season went in Vancouver.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Not that it was, you know, completely his fault. I
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: think it was more management than anything. And listen, I
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: have my bias towards Rick Tockett. I think he's a
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: great assistant coach. I think head coach. I don't think
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: he's worth twenty five million, but that seems to be
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: the market and where it's at. Congratulations again, motherfucker, get
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: paid if you can. But yeah, I just think this
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: was something. You know, this is like very similar Vancouver.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Like you're satisfying the fans. This is what the fans wanted.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Fans wanted Rick there, they wanted Ricky Ticky. You brought
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: him in, You brought their you know, one of their
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: most favorite sons back home broad Street. Bullet's try to
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: recreate something. But to me, it just seems like it's
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: a little bit like John Tortorella esque with it's a
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: guy who's more leaning towards defensive structure than anything, and
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: that's kind of what Towarts brought to Phillion and it
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: didn't quite work. So we'll see if talk can kind
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: of bring a little bit more offense there and see
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: how he rounds out his coaching staff. I don't know,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: is the coaching staff staying there other than Rick. Is
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: it just Rick coming in or.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: It's a great point because brad Shaw they really kind of,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: you know, felt unshackled without torts there like you saw me.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the offensively you could see Bradshaw staying there and
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: going back in an assistant role, and you know, I
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: I just will see if who else he brings in
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: and and but yeah, I think it's a move that
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: this is Danny Brier putting his fingerprints all over this team.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: And I said it today on the network, and it's
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: him kind of putting forth the path he wants his
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: team to take. But again, there's a lot of young,
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: skilled guys on that team. And we saw what kind
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: of talk kind of you know, with Elias Petterson, and
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: he likes guys with a little bit more fire and
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: then play hard and they play two hundred foot games.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of guys on that team, especially
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: the young guys that are just offensive minded with not
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: a ton of defensive prowess to their game. So how
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: is he gonna be able to communicate with them? We're
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: going to see. But the other good thing they have
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: is they have a boatload of draft picks in the
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: next three years, so they're gonna have an opportunity to
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: really build something. And Rick's there for five years, so
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have He's gonna have his time to kind
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: of put together the team. He wants and the players
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: that he wants, and and get the team going in
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: the direction that he sees it going, and hopefully it's
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: a positive direction. Because this Philly fan base, they ain't patient,
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: my friend, they ain't patient. They're great fans though.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Awesome passionate.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, the La Kings, I mean Kenny Holland,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: the new general manager, replacing Rob Blake, Hall of a
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Hockey Hall of Famer, went for Stanley Cups executive vice
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: president and general manager Detroit Red Wings between ninety seven
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: and twenty nineteen. Recently was a GM and preced of
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: hockey operations to the Edmonton Oilers for five years, helping
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: to build the Oilers team that the Kings lost in
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the first row of the playoffs each of the past
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: four seasons. If you can't beat him, join him.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: What do you think of Kenny Holland with the Kings.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: You took it right out of my mouth. If you
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: can't beat him, just hire the guy that put the
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: team together, and that's Beach at four straight years. Yeah,
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: you know, he's with the VP also of hockey operations
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: on top of GM. So I think what I've heard
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: is he's also going to be looking for kind of
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: his replacements, so somebody to kind of grow with him,
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: and he can probably take a back seat role in
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: almost an advisor role. But I think he's going to
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: start in the position of GM and VP and then
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: kind of work from there. But I think, listen, it's
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: a team that they're not far because if you really
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: look back at the last you know, two years, but
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: they're also aging, and they have some top guys that
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: are getting older, and you have to make a decision.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: Do you hope, yeah, you rip the band aid off.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: These are two guys that demand a lot of attention,
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of ice time, and a lot of money.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: And do you look to give something to one of
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: these younger guys or you try to make a big
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: trade and make a big splash. But the two things
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: that they really need is they need to go short
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: up their defense on the right side. I don't think
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: it a right handed you know, like the Sorry. I
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: don't know if the right side of the Decorps with
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: Bran Clark, Jordan Spence, Drew Dowdy is enough. I think
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: they need to go get somebody else. They need to
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: go get some more players that can fill that role.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: That can be complimentary to the left side, which I
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: think is pretty strong with Joel Edmondson, Gavrikov, Mikey Anderson.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: I think it's a very strong left side of the decor.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: And then they need to go get a fourth line.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: They need depth scoring. You look what's apparent in this playoffs.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: Depth scoring has been huge for the Oilers, the Vegas
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Golden Knights when they're winning. You look at the Florida Panthers.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Depth scoring is what is driving this playoffs this year.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: And you need to go out and get because the
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: fourth line of you know, I think they have like
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: a malot hellanious Trevor Lewis. I just don't think it's
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: enough to get you over the hump.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned the Oilers. That's been one
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: of the stories.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: It's been just how great Kine has been in that
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: supporting cast new Jah Hopkins, et cetera. It's not just
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: McDavid and dryslat will always driving the bus. Last thought here,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: the happy fortieth birthday of the worm Corey Perry. Edmonton
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: won't just be celebrating a trip to the Western Conference Final,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: but also celebrating Frida.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: When Corey Perritrin's forty years old. Amazing to think about.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Jad the active leader in playoff games and was the
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: third oldest player of the NHL this season by Ryan
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Suitor and Brent Burns.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Do you have a story from the Worm not.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know him personally. I've met him a couple
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: of times. We both rehabbed our knees at the same place.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it was more just the battles we had.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: I mean when I started and he was in Anaheim
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: with that just incredible line of Bobby Ryan and Ryan
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: Getz laugh and they were just, you know, just such
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: a dominant team, and we had a great team in
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: San Jose. Those were just I mean, you'd come through
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: Death Valley and you'd have to play San Jose, La
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: and Anaheim and it was three Juggernauts at that time,
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: and it was hard to come out of the West
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: with any wins. And you know, every time you played
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Corey Perry knew what it was gonna happen. He was going
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: to be a little shit. I've asked him to fight
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: a ton of times. He probably he said no every
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: single time because I don't think he knew that I
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: wasn't tough because if he did, he probably would have
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: beat the wheels off me.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: But but I love the challenge him.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: Come on, Oh, I just I hated him, and I
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: you know, I played with a lot of emotion and
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: that's what I needed to kind of get up in games.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: And sometimes I couldn't control that emotion and thought I
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: was a little bit taller than I was and stronger
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: than I was, so I didn't care to get beat
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: up or go fight, you know, go fight to me,
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: this stronger than me. That's why, you know, four of
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: my five fights against guys that got like thirty pounds
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: on me and they don't last long. But I get
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: out there and I dropped the middies because I don't
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: give a shit. But Corey Perry is the worm for
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: a reason. He's very tough to play against. He's very
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: squirrely too because he's not fast. But when he gets
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: the puck on the wall, he maneuvers his body well,
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: he understands where he is in space and it it
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: makes it really difficult to get the puck off him.

• 54:43
  Speaker 3: long arms. I was. I would have been in one.
