- 0:13Speaker 1: sixties segments over the weekend, but it's crucially important to
- 0:16Speaker 1: all of us here at Unscripted that we give you

- 0:30Speaker 1: to hear our conversation with one of the greatest broadcasters
- 0:33Speaker 1: to ever do it now, stip back and enjoy Jason's
- 0:36Speaker 1: mostly insightful breakdown. I won the best international hockey matchups
- 0:40Speaker 1: we've seen in a while.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Cannon was dominating early in the first period. I think
- 0:44Speaker 2: the Bell Center really carried them, Like I think the
- 0:47Speaker 2: fans were just next level, and that's how good Montreal
- 0:49Speaker 2: Canadians fans are and fans within the Montreal area. And
- 0:54Speaker 2: I think Sweden was just a little kind of hesitant.
- 0:56Speaker 2: They were a little bit scared, and you know, too,
- 0:58Speaker 2: nothing lead early. And then Sweden, who I think is
- 1:01Speaker 2: a dark horse in the tournament for me, I think
- 1:04Speaker 2: they've the best decoor in the tournament, a lot of
- 1:06Speaker 2: NHL experience. They started to kind of implement their game,
- 1:09Speaker 2: and I mean they held Canada like twenty twenty two shots,
- 1:12Speaker 2: which is which is insane with the amount of skill
- 1:15Speaker 2: you have on that team. And you know again it was,
- 1:17Speaker 2: but it was the Sidney Crosby show. Like this guy
- 1:20Speaker 2: is is every every time we think, oh he might
- 1:22Speaker 2: be getting a little old, you know, he comes out
- 1:24Speaker 2: and he plays fantastic game. He uses his brain. I
- 1:28Speaker 2: broke down the three goals that he was involved in
- 1:30Speaker 2: directly him using his vision. I mean, there's every every
- 1:34Speaker 2: single clip of the goal, and I'd love and edit
- 1:38Speaker 2: here if we put these clips here. But before every
- 1:40Speaker 2: goal he's he takes a look and scans the ice
- 1:44Speaker 2: and then that's where he ends up going with the pucks.
- 1:46Speaker 2: So on the mckinning goal, he he looks s, hees
- 1:48Speaker 2: where mckinnony is, makes that little spin around my backhand.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Then when he goes to mark Stone, he literally looks
- 1:53Speaker 2: behind him says, okay, mark Stone's coming late. I can
- 1:56Speaker 2: drive deep, turn up, hit Mark Stone. He does it,
- 1:58Speaker 2: and then in overtime he's looking where guys are coming
- 2:01Speaker 2: off from the bench and he's looking back behind him
- 2:03Speaker 2: where Mitch Martin goes into the zone, drops it back.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Nobody really does that and then gets out of the
- 2:09Speaker 2: zone leads to the Mitch Marner goal. He's just He's incredible.
- 2:13Speaker 2: He is Captain Canada. And the crazy stat that I
- 2:16Speaker 2: want to really drive home here and drill home before
- 2:19Speaker 2: I let you get back on this is in international games, Sidney.
- 2:23Speaker 2: When Sidney Crosby is playing consecutively, he is twenty six
- 2:27Speaker 2: straight wins in his last twenty six international games. He's
- 2:31Speaker 2: twenty six and zero. That is such an astronomical number.
- 2:35Speaker 2: When he is on team Canada, they have not lost
- 2:38Speaker 2: in twenty six games.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Dude, that's incredible. I did not know that. To enjoy
