• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a sin City snub? What is John Torrella doing? Pissing
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the media off? Never good idea, especially because he was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: just working for the.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Media and the ESPN.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I could have Nate Thompson back in the fold. Here

  Speaker 1: it's me and JD. Raider Rock. We had a Final

  Speaker 1: lay oh oh, Final four Baby. The Conference final is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: set Avalanche and Golden Knights and the Hurricanes and the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Montreal Canadians. Colorado took two or three in the season
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: series against Vegas, although the Golden Knights won the last
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: meeting three to two in overtime on April eleventh. Colorado
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: hasn't played in a week while Mitch Marner leads all
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: playoff scores. We'll get to the habs and the Hurricanes
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in just a second. Jad. The general feeling is that
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the Avalanche are gonna romp. They've been unbelievable all seasons.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Start to finish though, the best team in hockey Vegas.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You know they're not gonna be able to go down
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: without a fight. But it's gonna be h not a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: pair of mats.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: What do you got.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: This?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: This is your music for the ass all the night.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: This song has just been going viral with the Canadians.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: They keep posting it and people absolutely love it every
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: time they win. This is kids singing a French shot
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: of people. What was the question I was looking for?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: It was all good Vegas. It's all good. I can see.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Are we going Vegas Golden Knights?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dala's gonna run a Vegas Golden Knights first, no
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: HAPs bias. Yeah, it feels like the Avalanche of the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: prohibitive favorites. Obviously, some people are saying that it's not
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be a fair fight. Can the Golden Knights win this?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Quite frankly, yeah, I think so.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I listen.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I think everybody's overlooking Vegas and I have Colorado to
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: win it all. I think they look incredible, but Cale
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: mccarr not practicing that little injury at the end of
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: round two did not look good. Looked like he's been
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: playing with something. I mean, hasn't skated in three four days.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And then he's going to go and if he plays,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: how effective is he going to be? Because you know
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: we were talking before. You know, typically when if it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: a shoulder or wrist or something, you can skate. You know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: you can skate and stay in shape, and then they
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: can shoot you up with with some kind of nerve blockers.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: You can play, but you're not skating at all, So
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: that that leads you to believe it's it's either mid section,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: hip or something. But it just all looks awkward. And
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, they've done well without him this season. He
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: missed him and they have a winning record, So I'm
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: not worried because they're so deep, but it just leads
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: me to believe that that's a big missing piece for
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Colorado and Vegas is if you look at the first
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: two rounds, they they played teams that are similar to
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: the Colorado Avanage Utah very fast. You look at Anaheim,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: very fast, high powered, and they kind of they really
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: they really slowed him down. And if not for Carter
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Hart kind of finding his way in Round one against Utah.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, Vegas kind of walks all over them. But
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: you know Carter Hart was finding his game. Now against Anaheim,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: he looked stout. So to me, I'm like, this is
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: not a clear cut series in Colorado gives up chances
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: and Weggie's been great for them Wedgwood, But I don't know.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I think I think I wouldn't be surprised if Vegas
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: comes in and maybe shocks some game one and takes
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Game one and then we're and then Colorado kind of
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: resettles himself.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: But I think they can take game one.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is going to be a long series.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: And to your point, Gud, I agree. I mean I
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: look at you know, with mccarr, his situation stone obviously,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: but I just think that the way mccarr can control
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: a hockey game and not having him and that that
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: takes that away from Colorado if he's not playing. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: you said it, I mean I look at now with
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Vegas and now with William Carlson in their lineup and
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: having him as that second line center, like it you
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: look at their centers and it's Keel Carlson, Hurdle and
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Doubt like those are really good for centers.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: When you say center depth is the same exactly.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: It matches up with Colorado if you look at that
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: like it that that matches and Hurdle's playing really good.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: He's find the back of the net now and you yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent. So it's just you you look at
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the way they're playing, and I mean, I guess you'd
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: say Colorado has the advantage on d but I mean,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: what would you say in net. I mean, Carter Hart's
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: been unbelievable for Vegas the first two rounds and where
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: where he's playing, and you know, I know he had
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: a long layoff, but the guy was at number one
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: at one point. I played with him in Philly. Like
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: he's been in the playoffs for he's played, he's you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: he's been tested before. So I think this series is
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: going to be very interesting. I don't foresee Colorado stomping
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: over Vegas. It's just I think this Vegas team is
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: a team that we've expected them to be since the
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: start of the season, with the likes of Dallas and Colorado,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Minnesota as those you know, that upper echelon of teams,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: and I think that they're right there. So this this
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: series is going to be a long one.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It's interesting thus far in the playoffs, the Avalanche and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Hurricanes were combined sixteen to one with a plus
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: twenty eight goal differentials. That's part of the reason why
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: people are saying these teams are such favorit. It's not
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: necessarily looking at who they're facing. But I do want
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to ask you did about Colorado's power play. I know
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: they've been better in the playoffs, they haven't been strength
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: overall obviously through much of the regular season. How important
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I think special teams could be in the series.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's going to be a big you know, you
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: look at Mitch Marner in that you talk about a while,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Bill Carlson, but that penalty kill can get on offense
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: as well. For Vegas, it's and you look on there,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: you know, offensively with the power play for Vegas with
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Doro Fiev and who knows where Stone is if he's
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: going to be back. And but listen, Colorado missing mccarr,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: they're gonna get back potentially, they're gonna get back Malinsky
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: and Lecanon. I mean, those are two huge pieces that
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: leads to even more depth. But yeah, Colorado found some
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: stuff on the power play not being so married to
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: McKinnon on the flank and having him and nature just
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: kind of be kind of interchange between the the bumper
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: position and the flank bumper being the middle of the ice.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: So it's really opened up some stuff.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: And they haven't elected and I heard I heard them
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: talking on the broadcast like they just want them to
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: stop looking to pass the puck in the net and
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: they all have great shots, or like just shoot the
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: fucking puck, Like just put it to the net. You
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: guys are great players. You can pick spots. So it's
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: been better. And uh but I mean, you know, Nate
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: can tell you too. Just with special teams is important
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: in every playoff series. It's just it's what separates a
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: lot of games you've seen in these play specifically, like
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of there's been a lot of penalties called.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: The expect it to be a lot tighter the next series,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: but a lot of penalties have been called, and you
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: need a good power play and you know, conversely get
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: penalty kill.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the next series. That
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Montreal was the last team to make the conference finals.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Hurricanes haven't played in almost two weeks. The Habs swept
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the season series against Carolina three to erho Hurricanes are
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: in their third conference final and four years, but they've
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: gone one in eight in their previous two conference final appearances,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: both against Florida. And it was a wild series, the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Habs and the Sabers, just wild momentum swings, and every
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: thought Buffalo was in control, Montreal had bounced back. When
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you thought Montreal would take control, they could up eight
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: goals in Game six on home ice. I think games siven.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: They win at New Hook obviously scores the winner in
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: exciting fashion and overtime. Again, Carolina is the favorite. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: think they win well. What chance do you give Montreal
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to pull off an upset.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I give him a good chance, I really do. I
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: think if there's a team that matches up well with Carolina,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: it's Montreal, just because if you look at how many
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: game breakers they have, I mean, they have like five
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: or six at least game breakers that can you know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: score with one opportunity. So I look at that, I
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: see and you said it. You know, I was lucky
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: enough to call one of those games in Carolina on
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the road when they won on New Year's Day, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: that the thing with Carolina is that obviously they're so aggressive,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: right and if Montreal can break the puck out quickly,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: they can you know, flip pucks, getting foot races. You know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: obviously they got to win some puck battles against Carolina.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: This team, they win a lot of puck battles. But
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I just see, you know, if there's a team that
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: can also get to Freddie Anderson, it would be Montreal
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: too because if and you talk about power play right
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: like this, the special teams in this series is going
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: to have to be big for Montreal, especially just because
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: how lethal their power plays. And I give them the
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: edge on that obviously over Carolina. So if they can,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: you know, get those things together, and like you said,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: with new hook and their balanced scoring, they've gotten and
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: now you know with Nick Suzuki, who I thought, who's
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: really kind of come on. I think as his playoffs
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: has gone on, he's gotten better and better. So if
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: they can have all those things work for him, I
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: totally can see them upsetting Carolina.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Well, they swept him in the seasons heres and I
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: think they outscored him, like fifteen to eight was the
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: goal differential, but it's gonna you know, the two best
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: goalies in the playoffs, Dobeese and Anderson coming together. Freddie
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: X who shocked us all with you know, the way
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: he's played. And then also you look at Dobeesh and
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: there's always a story of a goalie that comes out
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: of nowhere and you're kind of like, this guy just
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: gets so hot. I always look back to Anti Naemi
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: the year they won in Chicago, just a goalie that's
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: good down low and the team just kind of rallies
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: around him and he's kind of playing the villain a
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: little bit, which I love. So to me, I'm like,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: to me, I'm like, it's really going to be down
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: to your point. Special teams. You know, Carolina's penalty kill
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: has been incredible, looks almost like beatable, but that's all
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: because of Freddy Anderson, and if they can get if
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: they can't get to Freddy Anderson, it's gonna be quick,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: and I think it'll be real fast. But yeah, it's
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: gonna be a It's been a lot of I feel
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: like it's gonna be a lot of two to one
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: hockey games, super tight. So we'll see if Montreal can
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: kind of play in those games. They've shown they can
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: winning some big games tight. So but yeah, it's gonna
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: be a it's gonna be a fucking great series.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: And even at the coaching battle too, just Marty Saneivers
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Rod Brenda Moore say.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Louis Finesse versus grit who wants it? That can only
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: be one?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, funnily, but so if two guys look at the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: two fittest head coach in the league, look at a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: little strongman contest after the games are done, all right
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: off the ice. Not long after the Swedish franchise icon
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Matt Sundeen how to take over the Francis in Toronto,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the Vancouver Canucks, dipping their toes in to their Swedish past.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Henrick and Daniel Sedin co presidence of hockey operations. The
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: twins played seven teen seasons together in Vancouver, ranked first
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and second in franchise history and both assistant points, Daniel
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: taking first all timing goals to the team. They've been
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: working in player development for the team since twenty twenty two.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Their first one was co presidence was named Ryan Johnson,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the general manager. Johnson serves a special advisor to the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: GM as well as general manager of the team's HL affiliate.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Didn't take long for Johnson to make his mark, as
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Adam Foot is out of a job along with the assistants.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: JD.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: What do you make of another team relying on their past.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: This is the Conocks now going to Sedeens to run
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the team.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all X players starting to run the NHL.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: So we're getting rid of all the I mean it's
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I think the Sadeens, you know, to their credit, have
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: been around the organization a ton. You know, when I
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: was finishing up three four years ago, which is crazy
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: to say that I've been out that long. It feels
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: like yesterday. But they were helping down in Abbotsford. They
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: were doing a bunch of player development stuff and they
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: apparently they were around the team a lot. They go
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to the miners, they go to abbots for There's not
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: much you see the superstars ex players that are going
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: to Abbotsford. Like, if you've been to Abbitsford, it's Abosphord.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: It's nothing to do there but the rink. So it's
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: pretty cool to see, you know, Ryan Johnson, I mean,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: it's it's a good GM. He's was also the GM.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I believe of Abbotsford when they won the call their Cup.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: So he's got a lot of he understands this team,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: this organization, and we're going to see many Melhotra coming up,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I'm sure Nate and being this head coach. And again
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: it's I think they're keeping it in the house and
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I like that they're doing that. They're home growing, They're
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: home growing it, and I think it's it's a smart
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: move by them.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: I love this move, Jay, and I like how you
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: say in house, because I think the Canucks needed to
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: make a They needed to make the right move with
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: what everything that's gone on and how bad it's gone
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: for them. And I think with bringing in the Twins,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: you know, they they're smart guys and they've been around, They've,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: like you said, they they've been involved with Abbotsford and
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: this team they need they need that. And you said
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: with Ryan Johnson being familiar with abbots are just coming up,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: it's just gonna be a seamless transition I think for
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: the Canucks. I really do like this move a lot.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Meantime, last week, when Nate was playing Daddy Daycaren Jad
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and are doing the show, the news came down Craig
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Berubi out and then this news where Chris Knoblock out
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: after apparently they asked for permission to doctor Bruce Cassidy. Hey,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: we still have a coach with Bruce. You want to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: come in here?
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, we should get real quess over.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Us tenth head coach in fifteen years of the Oilers
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: looking for economical will be playing under a sixth coach
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: with the Oilers. The team has reportedly received permission from
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Toronto to interview Craig Berube. Maybe a coaching swap happening.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Nate Berube goes to Edmonton, Knoblock goes to Toronto. It
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: will be the first time since Torts and lam Vigno
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: switched between the Rangers and the Cannucks in twenty thirteen.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if things couldn't look worse for the Oilers with
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: the whole knob Block thing and with McDavid and Leon,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: you know, giving them their two cents after the season,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: and now that I mean, I don't know, I mean
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: with with with the switch. I mean, Craig Bruby is
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: a great coach and he's he's won a Cup. It
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: didn't work in Toronto. I mean, there's a lot of
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: coaches that we that we know are available, that it's
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: you know, it's on the carousel right now, JD. So
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I guess it's kind of pick your poison, who's up next?
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: But I mean, I I like Craig Bruby, I really do.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I like the way he coaches. I think that, you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: it just it didn't work out in Toronto, but I
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: think it could work out somewhere else. I mean, Edmonton
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: is interesting one.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I get you know, they're all the talk you
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: hear is you know Edmonton needs a defensive minded, gruff
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: coach that's just going to keep everybody accountable. And this
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: could be the guy in Craig Bruby. Now for Toronto.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Do I think now blocks the guy? I don't know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: because now blocks so stoic. You don't even know much
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: about him, and even un Chris Chris, even when they're winning,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Even when they were winning, we like didn't quite know
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: if it was because of him or the or the players.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: I think it was. I think he's a smart coach
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: and makes some good adjustments. But yeah, I think Craig.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: You know, listen, I think even I'd look at Adam
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Foot for Edmonton. You know, Adam Foot coming in and
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I think he got the short end of the stick
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: in Vancouver. I think, you know, talk left and and
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: then he had no team and they blew the team up.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: And then you're having a coach basically an HL team
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: and he's Coast Hockey League team, and you're trying to
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: figure that shit out. So it's like, I feel like
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Adam Foot will kind of find his footing once again.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: It was low hanging fruit right there. Low hanging fruit.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I didn't I got to foot the bill though.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Ord Carl, to which we got to mention we had
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: guess he's not going anywhere.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: He's not, David Carl, you need to pay him two
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: hundred million. Why would he want to leave there? Because
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: he knows it's gonna happen. I fan of the show.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: David Carl, fan of the show. But it's unsure. He's
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: unsure if he's going to be successful there, So it's
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: got to be worth the money.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Matt fantas Matt Carl Fantastic on Unscripted former Flyer Prongs
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: defense partner, a close friend of Nate's. David Carl not
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the shattiest guy, good coach.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: He listens to the show. He'll be careful ships talking
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: to our guests. Ur don He's agree with me. Like coaches.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: That's why he's a good coach.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: He's a good coach. That's right. Doesn't give you much,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't give you cards to the chest.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Boy, This really is my point with Edmonton and this
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: is from Steve Simmons, your boy. Chris Nablock was hired
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to coach the Oilers after they had bought him out
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: mid season three years ago. He took them in his
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: first season to within a goal the Stanley Cup. In
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: his second year, they went back to the Stanley Cup final.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: You can't do much better than that. Over the past years,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Gentleman stan Bowman got snookered on a free agency signing
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: deal by the Saint Louis Blues, failed to pick up
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: a goldener consequence, signed some bad contracts and lessened his
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: roster exponentially. So the coacher took them from nowhere to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: somewhere got shown the door, and the GM who took
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: them from somewhere to nowhere remains in charge.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: And and not to mention, stan Bowman doubled down and said,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: probably not a lot of moves by us. This obviously
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: we're gonna kind of run it back. Are you fucking nuts? Stan,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Are you nuts?
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Like definition of insanity?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I mean that's doing the same thing. They're
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: not doing the same well, I mean, yeah that is,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: but they're it's it's awful, like it the accountability of
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: like looking in the mirror for management in Edmonton, I
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: think and frustrated me because having been in the organization
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: for the Cup of Coffee, I was you see just
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: how passionate Leon and Connor are so like you. You
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: almost you want them to win so bad because you
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: know how much they want it and how much it
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: consumes them.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: So you know, to put this forward.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: And then he even says like, no, they're not going
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: to be involved in the coaching high because they don't
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: have the depth of knowledge. That's what Stan Bowman said.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: They don't have the depth of knowledge that you know,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: our staff has to make the decision or I'm like,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: are you fucking crazy? Like I'm sorry, could you may
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: you might be a good human being, but that is
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: the dumbest shit that you wouldn't let Connor and Leon
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: have some say in a coaching higher because to say
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: that they don't have the depth of knowledge. They know
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: more about hockey just by osmosis and how good of
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: players they are than anybody. Again, it's that they want
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: somebody that understands their vision as much as the other
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: players around because they're the ones that need to play
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: for you. So yeah, it still pisses me off. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: you know, if they bring in Craig will see how
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: it works. But it's up top for me. It trickles down.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I do love Chief, He's a capable of being a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: guy who can engineer turn around. But yeah, this one
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: goes back to Stan Bowman. One more thought. Then we
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: get to our special guest, Tony Bernardo. Tony's all about
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: John turn Relic because they're both Italian and Mama. But
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: things getting heated as Vegas eliminates Anahim in the second round,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and then towards who just worked in the media, shame
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: on you. Most of the Golden Nights players were not
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: made available to the media after the series deciding game.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: The team has fined one hundred thousand dollars for a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: flagrant violation of playoff media regulations. Can I just talk
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to the players?
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: No?
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: But they also lost a second round pick. Now there's
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: one too in the NHL. Nathan doesn't care about picks.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: It's Vegas, but what are we doing? Pretty stiff penalty,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: And I like it the league bringing him down for
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: not allowing lot rapporters to get in the locker room.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Don't mess with Gary Towards, don't mess with Gary. Don't
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: do it. Just don't do it. And you know he
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: got warrened jed too. You know, he got warned for sure.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: But I mean, I mean it's yeah, it's you know,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day, we're trying to grow
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: the game, and the media is a big part of that,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: and especially in the playoffs, you know, to get more viewership,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: all those things, and they have to write their stories
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: and these guys have to be available. I mean we're
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: told that from the from the start of the season,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: you know, players too, not just coaches, that we have
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: to be available. So it was it was comical seeing
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Mitch though saying, hey, we got ten minutes, he'll leave us.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: We got to get on the bus when we got
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: ten minutes.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I talked to somebody in the Nights organization and
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I can't say exactly what he said, but there was
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: extenuating circumstances and I thought NHL would rescind the second
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: round pick. I did what I heard based on no, no, no,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: you're fine. I mean, I I I'm surprised they kept it,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: but I think I think it was still enough where
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: where where you know, the NHL was like, we're not
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: pulling it back just to really make a point, because
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: I don't On top of that, I don't think the
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: NHL ever wants to look stupid either in terms of
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: you know, they put down that regardless of what happened.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: They're like, it doesn't matter, you have to make yourself available.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's it's an interesting it was an interesting one,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: and yeah, it's it's tough. I think you're I think
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you still gotta just
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: whatever it is and whatever you got going on, you
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: gotta just you gotta get out there and sit there
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: for if you gotta answer one question and leave, you
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: got to answer one question and leave.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: So that's it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Ultimately disappointing there as far as the media are concerned,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: The Vegas couldn't care less.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, look, the conference finals.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Let's move this thing along, all right, Bless you too,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: still to come here In NHL unscripted Tony Cornado with
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: stories of comparing how Brian Leech and Matthew Shaffer size up,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: plus his own journey overcoming serious adversity in the game,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and who he likes the Conference finals. Tony g is
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: coming up after this on NHL Unscripted. Our next guest
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: was draped in the sixth round, one hundred and twenty
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: four row up with the New York Rangers the nineteen
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: eighty two NHL Draft. You were going to collect two
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight goals and four hundred ninety two
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: points in seven hundred and seventy four career games the Rangers, Kings,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and Sharks before embarking a successful coaching career that saw
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: him serve as head coach of the Colorado Avalanche and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: at the University of Wisconsin. An Olympian is both a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: player and a coach, and the Bill Masterton Trophy winner
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety seven. It's everyone's favorite, Tony Granado. Tony,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: great to see you, Thanks guys, thanks for having me.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: We always love senior course in NHL Newick. You always
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: busy on NHL Neverwock Radio as well with Nate Thompson.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: So let's get right to it. What do you make
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: of the conference finals matchups? Is this what you would expected?
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Avalanche Golden Knights and the Haves and the Hurricanes.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: I expected the Avalanche Golden Knights probably to meet up,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: you know, the Golden Knights having to beat the two
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: teams they did were interesting challengers. But but I thought
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: the maturity and the you know, torch coming in there
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: and kind of settling that group down and get ready
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: for playoffs was appropriate at the time of the change
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: and the coaching change, So I expected that. I think
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: the Montreal one would be the biggest surprise of that
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: team being there still at this point. So they've done
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: things with the goaltender that I think everybody coming in
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: knew he was good, but didn't know if he could
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: put it together a run like he's had. So kudos
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: to Montreal and Dobish and what they've accomplished. And and
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: you know, it looks like Carolina is the big favorite.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: That looks like Colorado's. I wouldn't say quite as big
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: of a favorite, but the favorite to advance. But I
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: think both of these series are very interesting for different reasons.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Ton you know, what do you make I wanted to
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: talk to you a little bit about like the coaching stuff,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: and you look at Torts in Vegas and specifically you know,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: and finds the side. You know, he comes in with
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: seven games left in the season, and how is that
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: as a coach from your lens, like coming into to
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: it team like this veteran or not and having to
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: like earn the trust of these players, and then now
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: you're going into the conference finals staring down the Colorado Avalanche.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: You know, when that kind of a move is made,
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: it does seem kind of drastic, but sometimes it makes sense.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: And the reason I say that maybe it makes sense
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: in this situation is I think we all were expecting
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: a little more rhythm to Vegas's game throughout the year,
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: and it looked like they were pottering around, you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: mediocrity for part of it, and it's like, gosh, there's
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: something just not running as smoothly as you thought it would.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: So I think that that kind of made sense as
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: you look back on it when it happened, you're like,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: oh my gosh, you gotta be kidneyed. Bruce Cassie's a
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: great coach. Vegas looks like, you know, as always, they'll
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: be ready for the playoffs. But something was not quite right.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: So that made sense to me and Towards coming in
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: there was probably the right guy that was available to
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: be able to start that engine up and get these
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: guys fired up. And most importantly, what you want you
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: want your best players to have the right mindset heading
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: into playoffs. So when Marner and Towrts had their little
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: introduction to one another, whether they had a relationship from
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: the past or not, it looked like something there got Marner,
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: you know, more relaxed and more creative offensively, and Carter
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: Hart and net they had They for sure had time
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: together in Philly. So that relationship with your starting goalie
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: and a new head coach coming in. If those two
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: players were the ones that were impacted the most, one
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: of them is in the net and one of them
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: is leading the offensively, I think then that's where you
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: can see the immediate effects of how it's helped Vegas
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: through the first two rounds.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Just an extension off of JD's question, Tony and just
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: you know where the coaching landscape is today and how
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: you know you're seeing these young coaches and I look
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: at Martin both and you're seeing coaches like Marty Saint
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Louis and there you know the way the way they coach,
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: and it's just different. Now you know, where do you
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: stand and you know, how do you feel on where
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: the coaching I guess is going these days and the
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: philosophy behind it.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Well, Marty's a different type of coach and towards there's
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: no doubt that the way he has helped this younger
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: team gain confidence in the underdog position that they've kind
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: of been in and kind of building them to gain
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: confidence and their goaltender gain confidence in the way they play,
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: become unflappable when the other team out shoots your thirty
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: something to nine and you still find a way to
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: win a game and be able to walk away from
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: a defeat like they got in Game six against Buffalo
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: and be able to respond and bounce forward, like he says,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: like a little things like that that Marty has has
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: kind of whether it's silliness, whether it's you know, playing
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: the underdog role that he played his entire career, not
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: being drafted and making it the Hall of Fame. You
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: know he's done for Kaffield, Suzuki Slevkowski, the goaltender. You
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: know that team can rally around your coach is whether
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: you call it silliness, whether you call it just a
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: different type of attitude than most coaches have had. I think, Marty,
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: you know when he took the job, unless I kid ourselves,
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: you expect the guy to be hired that's coaching somewhere
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: else or has a history of coaching in the NHL.
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: He was coaching kids, and you know he's coaching his
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: kids back home, and all of a sudden you bring
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: in a youth kid that's coaching pee wee's or ban
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: them and say, hey's your NHL coach. Now you're like okay,
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: and then you give them some time to say, well,
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: why did they pick him? I think right now we're
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: understanding why they picked him. And he has a nice
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: way of getting the most out of players and making
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: the players believe in themselves. And as a coach, that's
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: your job. Make your players believe that you can beat
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: somebody and that you can be productive and that you
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: can be as successful. And he's whatever he's given those guys,
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: they've really kind of molded as a team and have
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: been been very exciting so far throughout the playoffs.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Marty, whether it's wilful Wall Street post game chance
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: just getting fast fired up here.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Before show.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: And Nate. Don't forget.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: You came to the HL Tony the Rangers the same
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: year as young defenseman named Brian Leach when the Calder
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Trophy that year. A lot of comps between Leachy and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Matthew Schaeffer. What similarities do you see? What differences do
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you see?
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: That's a good one is because this is interesting when
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: you say that. The first time I saw Quinn Hughes
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: play and obviously different size, but I said, oh my gosh,
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: this guy controls the game and the puck and makes
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: it easy for the forwards because he pulls two or
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: three defenders to him and the next thing you know,
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: he passes it to you and you got a lot
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: more time in space. Uh so, uh I do Since
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: you bring up Schaeffer and Leech, when when Brian came
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: to the Rangers, you know, all of a sudden there
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: was a different type of player that joined the lineup
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: and it made everybody else go holy cow. Like I
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: just said, it makes it easy on the full because
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: he's created so much offense. Uh So, yeah, I see similarities.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: I think what Schaeffer did. Uh you know, I got
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: to meet him last year at the Draft and just
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: sit down with the kid for a few minutes, and
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm a fan of that kid, and I
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: ain't gonna cheer loud for him and hoping things go
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: well for him, and to see what he's accomplished under
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: this you know situation that he had, you know, the
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: year leading up with the injury and with what he
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: had to deal with off the ice. Uh, and just
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: to be such a nice, nice human being. Uh, it's
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: just been a great story. Uh. So Brian Leach would
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: take that compliment when you compare him and it and
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Brian Leach for me, you know, you got Chris Chellios
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: as a defenseman American defenseman. You got maybe Phil Housley
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: and maybe a couple others, But but Brian Leach was
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: as good as anybody.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: And I'm glad you brought his name up, because Brian
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: was was one of those ones that was kind of
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: under the radar, didn't like the media attention so much
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: and kind of quietly did his thing. But he was
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: certainly a Hall of Fame player that deserves a lot
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: of attention.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: You gotta, you gotta favorite Brian Leech.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Story off the top of your head or something that
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: sticks out to you, whether on the ice or give
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: me off the ice.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: Is he like the off the ice stuff? Because you heard.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Guy. Yeah, he's a.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: Phenomenal, phenomenal guy, phenomenal teammate, very one of those superstars
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: that just shows up and you look at him in
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: the locker room, you look around and you go, he
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: doesn't kind of play that role in the room. He's
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: just quiet. But when he gets on the ice, he
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: gets the puck on his stick. He made so many
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: things happen, So just one that I you know, as
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you this though, as a young player coming
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: into the NHL to do it with somebody else. I
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: was a rookie the same year as Brian was, you know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: and I had I not had Brian to help me
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: and kind of be there as a partner, you know,
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: it would have been much more difficult for myself. So
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: I appreciate the help he gave me and the attention
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: that that he brought to our team and our organization
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: with what he did his rookie year. I mean as
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: a defenseman. You know, You're right, Schaeffer was probably the
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: comparable for for coming in and being able to dominate
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: the way Brian did back in nineteen eighty eight.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: J D.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: That's a long time ago.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: And I love how you just danced around the off
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: ice question this well, I was just an absolute master class.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: And you know what, he used to come over. We
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: used to play. You want to know what we did
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: in nineteen eighty eight, He used to come over. We
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: used to play was it was an Xbox, it was
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: something else.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Into the original into.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: We was playing Intendo. My wife used to make us lunch.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Brian being single, we'd hang out on the couch. That's
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: what we did in our off days. We played Nintendo.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: I love I love it. I gave it.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I love it as the best ever. That was Ladies
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen. That was a.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Master respond answer we're looking for.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a great response. That's a master Go ahead, Nate,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: go take the LA question then.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I was, That's what I was. I mean,
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: we're talking about off ice. You get traded to LA
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: in eighty nine, and that's the Gretzki era. I mean,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: there's got to be some some Hollywood stories memories off
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: the ice being in LA at that time.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, and so yeah, you know what it's like as
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: a player though, like yes, yeah, your rookie year. You
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: get this team and you're all excited. You're in New York,
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: you're playing an original six, and it's like, oh man,
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: I can't this is going to be great. Then and
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: I got the old contract signed. After my first year,
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: they gave me a extension, which was unheard of back then.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: They said, hey, we want you to be a Ranger.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: I heard this. I heard this. We want you to
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: be the Ranger forever. Right. You're like, okay, that's great.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: I only played one year, but forever sounds pretty good.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: And so I signed a two year extension deal and
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: you're thinking, okay, we can get a house now. We're
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: all was set. They just told me I'm gonna be
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: here forever. Well, sure enough. Few months later that you
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: get the rumors around, hey, Tony Gernando maybe going to
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: La blah blah blah, and you know what I thought
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: of it, and I'm thinking, man, that would really stink,
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: and trade it. And then I get a call from
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: La saying, hey, this is Bruce McNall calling. We just
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: did trade for you and we can't get wait till
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: you get to LA. And I said, that's really cool,
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: you know, and he goes and by the way, Tony goes,
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: when when you played against us last year, Wayne said
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: after the game, he came up to me, he goes, Hey,
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: if we can get that Grnado guy someday, that would
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: be really good and helpful. And I'm like, oh my gosh,
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Wayne Gretzky knows who I am. Wow. So that was
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: the introduction to LA, and I didn't miss and think,
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm, you know, traded anymore.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: I'm like, Okay, I got a reason that I want
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: to be in LA. And so so that kind of
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: was was really what Wayne was all about in welcoming
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: me and Thomas. Thomas Anstrum and I were traded together,
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: which also helps going with a partner. And then we
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: got to LA and got the chance to see what
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Wayne was all about for close to seven years, and
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: I can't tell you how much excitement, how much I learned,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: and what it was to be alongside grets And then
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: there were other great players there. That's Larry Robinson was
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: still there, Dave Taylor, the Grovertire, Rob Blake, Kelly Rudy.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: I go on and on with our Jarry Curry, Grant Fear,
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Paul Coffee, Rick Hoocket, we had we had brought in
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: so many characters and big people in the game that
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: became my teammates. So I was lucky as heck. So
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: those memories of the opportunity that I was given because
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: I was traded was those were unbelievable fun times. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: we're going to go back to ninety three because it's
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: coming and it's going to come into play here in
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: the next week or two because Montreal was the last
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup and they were
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: the ones that beat us in ninety three, So those
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: those memories will recircle here in the next few weeks
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: because the Montreal fans and all of Canada and remember
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: that team as the last team that has won.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Certainly was Patrick Law unbelievab obviously in the nineteen ninety
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: three has team. But what you were unbelievable about, Tony,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: was showing perseverance. In nineteen ninety six, you sustained a
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: major head injury, had to undergo serious brain surgery. You
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: signed with San Jose that summer, have an incredible comeback
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: season twenty five goals, one hundred and fifty nine poundy
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: minutes you win the Masters, And what do you remember
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: from that whole saga and about that comeback?
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Ah boy. The injury happened at a game in Hartford,
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: and like a dumb hockey player, I got up from
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: the injury and I shaped, you know, I am fine,
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: I'll be fine. The trainer kept going, you all right,
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: you know you got hit pretty good, but yeah, I'm fine,
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: leave me alone. And I knew it was a little
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: more than just to you know, you get these year
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: stars and you become a little bit dazed, which happens,
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: you know, quite a bit when you get hit. But
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: then the next couple of days it didn't get better.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: I played one more game and then things got really bad,
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: so I did. I had a bleed in my in
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: my temporal left temporal lobe that needed surgery, had the surgery.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: When the surgery was done, I assumed I was done playing.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: I didn't think the doctors would ever prove me or
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: give me the thumbs up to say, hey, you can
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: go back and play. But my doctor was convinced that
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: the work he did kind of took care of everything
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: needed to be done, and that I would heal up
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: and have a chance to return. So that took six
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: months of kind of seeing doctors, seeing specialists, training, training
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: hard enough to realize and think, well, maybe it's a possibility.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: So I was given a second chance. The doctors cleared me.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: I think it was August first. I went to Mayo
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Clinic after seeing three different specialists, three different hospitals, just
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: to make sure that I knew what I was doing
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: when I was going to have to make that decision.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: So I came back. I got to play five bonus years.
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: That's the way I looked at it. So the luxury
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: or the bonus that I got was, you know, you
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: play your first game in the NHL, and you're like, gods,
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: this is the greatest thing in the world. This is
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: so cool. And then you get through, you know, three
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: or four seasons, and you kind of get beat up
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: and you're kind of dragging a little bit, and you
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: forget to remind yourself how lucky you are to play
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: well that five straight years after I had the brain surgery.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Those were all icing on the cake type of days.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: Every day I went to the rink, I played it
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: and thought of it as my last and first game
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: and so I had a different attitude about being able
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: to play. How fortunate I was. So that's the way
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: I looked at that. So I was lucky. If I
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: look back now, and I think I had through four
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: children at the time, and I say, why would I
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: have done that? That's a really good question. I still
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: questioned myself for trying to come back. I could have just,
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: you know, rode off and said, hey, I'm in, I'm good,
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: I got to play in the NHL. Let's go be
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: a dad. But hockey does that to you. I mean,
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: the love of the game and be part of a team.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: It's hard to walk away. It's hard to say no.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: And then when one doctor said, you know, I think
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: you can play, I said, we all white, maybe I
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: could play again. You know, that just perked up that excitement,
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: and and I went down that path. And obviously now
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: I'm very grateful that I did. And uh, but but
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: it was it was, you know, the six months of
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: every night going to bed going gosh, do I do
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: this or do I not do this type of thing?
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: But everything worked out. Knock on wood, I Uh, I
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: don't think I did any more damage to my head
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: in those five years.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Still sharp as a whip, sharp.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: As a whip.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: Thanks, I think of myself sharp as a whip.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like you know that that's such a
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: great story. I think because it's so hard to make
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: the NHL, but it's so incredibly tough and even tougher
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: to stay in the NHL, or once you kind of
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: take a step back come back in. I'd back surgery
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: and thought I wasn't going to be able to skate again,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: and similar to you, the doctors had surgery and it
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: was like after that, your eyes are a little bit
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: open because the grind of the game doesn't seem so bad.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: So you know, that's amazing, and then you end up
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: in San Jose. But talk a little bit about San Jose.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I mean the cast of characters you had there. You're
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: at the cow Palace, Brandy Han, Drew Mnde on the mic,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: you had, you had Owen Nolan, you know, Mika kippersof Nabakov.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: You had Patrick Marlow in his first year. You know,
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Mike reached Like what if Darryl Sutter is your head coach? Like,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: talk about those memories because you say how how you
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: enjoyed it so much, but you were you know, being
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: at the start of a franchise, and you guys, the
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: rink was in San Francisco and at the Cow Palace, Like,
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: how amazing were those memories for you?
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Playing in San Jose?
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: It was great, great fans. The one bonus thing I
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: got too, I was college teammates with Gary Shooter. We
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: both came in together at the University of Wisconsin in
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: nineteen eighty three, and Suits and I were buddies. We
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: played on a few US teams along the way, but
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: but we got reconnected in San Jose and he became
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: roommates my last four years of San Jose. So to
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: reconnect with one of your old buddies and go through
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: the you know, your last few years together was really
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: cool for me because you know, he's one of those
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: players that you play with and you respect so much
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: as a teammate, and you wonder why, you know, I
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: still wonder why he's not in the Hall of Fame.
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: I gotta be honest with you. I thought he was
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: as a player, one of those players that just made
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: everybody better, just quietly came into the room, quietly did
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: his thing, quietly produced and was a warrior. It was
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: an absolute warrior and so just to reconnect with him
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: for those last four years mental out. You mentioned Patty
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: Marlowe and Marco Stern. With some young guys coming in
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: as an older player, there's the difference. When I got
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: to San Jose, I became somewhat of an older player,
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: and was I going to be the guy that was
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: going to be oh, man, these guys are taking my
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: job type of mentality, or was I going to be
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: come on, guys, I'm going to help you along the way.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: Because a lot of guys helped me along the way
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: when I was a young player, and that's what I
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: learned about. When you find those great teammates and those
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: great veteran players, you know, they can either turn on
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: you and make you feel like, oh my gosh, this
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: isn't much fun, or they can say an embrace. Chris Nyland,
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: Kelly Kissy, O'Brien, mullins, some guys Ron Greschner when I
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: was in New York did that for me, John Van Biezick.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: They made me feel special as a young player, and
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: I thought that it was my time now to help
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: the younger guys in San Jose. So I watched those
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: guys take my job, and I and I patted them
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: on the back saying, you guys deserve it. You know,
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: I'll keep pushing you and I'll keep staying ready to
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: help it any way I can. But man, this is fun.
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: And you watch Marlowe accomplish, you know, and break Gordy
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: House record, you know, then you're cheering for him and
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: you're giving them how you had him JD. So you
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: know what he is about. And so so you got
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: to adjust as an older player to recognize you're you know,
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: the younger guys that are coming in that are that
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: have the energy, that have more skill. It's just the
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: way it evolved. The younger kids are more skilled and
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: talented as you move along, and you got to accept that,
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: and you've got to find a new role, and you've
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: got to understand that some of the things that you
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: like to do as part of a team are going
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: to be taken away and given to others. And if
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: you can do that, you can survive. And I think
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: that was an important thing that some of the older
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: players taught me when I was young.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: On that San Jose team, Tony, your roommate was head
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: coach Marco Sturm from the Boston Bruins, right, So I mean, yeah,
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: was there was there some sex success from that season.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of a lot of sex.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: That's what we edited here.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: That's sure we edit here.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Was from having Marco Sturm as your roommate.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: That's a great one. This is what you got to
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: ask him, because he gives me me crap about this still.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: He said, when we were first rooming together playing an
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: exhibition game, I think we were down in San Diego
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: playing one of those off site games. And he says,
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: he's waking up from his nap. He looks over and
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: I'm stretching. I'm up standing up in the corner of
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: my leg, behind my back, pulling, stretching, doing all these
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: little things. And and he uh, he says that's his
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: first memory of me of as we were getting uh,
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: you know, supposed to be getting our nap and I'm
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: I'm in the corner of the room stretching. That's what
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: he remembers of. But what a great year Marco Sturm
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: had in Boston. Uh, it's I'm not surprised by that.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: He almost won a gold medal out of nowhere. Back
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: in the Olympics when he coached Germany. And I don't
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: know what Russia was called at that time. What was
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: the name of it. What did they name him in
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: the Olympic year when they were had that violation, oh
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: something whatever they called.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: The Olympic Athletes of or something like that.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, But anyhow, he he almost pulled the upset of
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: all upsets. It would have been as big as the
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: nineteen eighty US upset. He was just a minute away
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: from from beating beating him and winning the gold medal.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: So he's a heck of a person and teammate, which
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: you know, uh And and as a coach, he certainly
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: backed up what what he's capable of doing as a
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: head coach.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Any chance to ask a question about Chris Kelley is
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take it. Yeah, I'm unbelievable player. I
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: think the greatest defenseman in US hockey history. Legendary fitness
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: regime could go out till two am. He's back in
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: the morning on the bike getting in the sauna. You're
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: an assistant with an Tony and Detroit. What was Chillie
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: like as a coach?
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: Unbelievable from the standpoint, I never thought of him as
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: a coach, but to work with the young players his
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: first of all, his love for the game goes to
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: that next level. You know, we talk about Sydney Crosby
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: now jumping over and you know, season ends and he
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: tells the trainers, hey, pack my bag, I might go
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: play for a team Canada. And they're like, you just
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: played in the Olympics. You were hurt this year we
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: made the playoffs. Why would you want to do that?
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: And Sid's probably answer was because I got a chance
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: to go play hockey again. That was Chris Chellios. If
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: there was a rink and there was ice available and
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: he had his skates in his trunk, which he did carry,
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: he would pop in and just jump on the ice.
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: That's how much he loved love the game. So I'm
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: fortunate enough now Chris is still around. I work with
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: his daughter on the black Hawk broadcast and Kaylee one
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: of the greatest teams as a partner and to do
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: games with, and so I see Chris a lot still.
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: We coached together on the Olympic team in two thousand
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: and eighteen. We were on the same staff there. He just,
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: you know, his love for the game spills over where
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: people see him and they kind of just perk up
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: and his ability to help young defensemen and teach him
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: a few things. It's mostly about competitiveness and that, you know,
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: that mentality of yet of what you have to have
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: to compete and perform at that high level as I
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: think the biggest asset of what he was able to
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: share with the younger players. And yeah, and Chris, if
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: you need anything from Chris, and you guys are buddies,
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: He'll go through the wall for you. That's just one
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: of those. He's Greek, I'm Italian. Somehow we get along
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: really well. So must be there must be a connection
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: between the Greeks and the Italians.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: It's that it's that good eating. That's what it is.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: It's all that good food.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: But you know, you mentioned the Blackhawks, and I love
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: staying up late on the East Coast watching you do
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: some analysis after games, and you know they had a
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: kind of an interesting season, but you know they were competitive,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: but then you saw the holes kind of creep in.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: What do you think kind of their offseason plan?
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Is big? Big offseason for them?
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: I think yeah, it's really a big I mean they're
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: picking Forth again, which is nice. Could Stenburg fallow the
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: fourth and that be the perfect match for fron Del
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: Frondel is going to be a superstar. You know, we
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: all know about Connor Bdard and what he can do
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: that Anton Frondell only played I think nine or ten games,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: but when he came over after his good he's in Sweden,
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: He's a heck of a player, so offensively, now Connor
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: will have some help, which is important. But I think
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: with all these assets and all these picks that Kyle
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: has stocked and brought in, uh, he's got an opportunity
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: to make a big deal and acquire somebody else that
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: can have an immediate impact. Like it would be fine
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: to wait, you know, two or three more years and
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: let these younger players keep developing. They'll probably mature into
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: a team that can can compete, you know, to not
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: just make the playoffs, but be a team that can
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: push in a few years. But I think there is
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: a way to kind of accelerate that plan with the couple.
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: You know, it's going to be big moves. It's going
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: to have to take two or three players or prospects
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: in the organization that that can pan out to be good.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: But I think there's an immediate return if you if
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: your there's players available. We all know, there's the names
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: that have been you know that are kind of out there.
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: Still do you wait and say, maybe we wait and
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: see if Connor McDavid is going to be available in
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: a year or so. Let start, well, I mean, if
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: you look at it and the way things are going
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: right now, it's tilting towards you know, he might not
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: be an oiler forever. And and then you got you know,
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: Austin Matthews in Toronto, you got you already heard the
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: Knis rumors. You got Brady Kachuck in Ottawa. And there's
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: a few other guys that are on that one that
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: might be a deal that could be had earlier. Do
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: you try that? And so I think there's gonna be
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: options for Kyle. There's gonna be options for him, probably
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: on that fourth pick overall, because there's some really good
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: defensemen that of Stenberg and mckennagal, you know one two
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: is you know maybe will happen. So so there is
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: some options to help the Blackhawks. But go back to that,
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: think Jeff Blashel did a really good job last year,
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: but I think that ultimately they got to get some
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: some some some more. I don't know how you want
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: mis grit anger. Yeah, they gotta. They gotta become a
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: meaner team to to in their in their young kids.
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: And can they grow into that. There's a couple of
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: kids that probably could, but I think they need some more,
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: uh physicality.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: How's that.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: I'll be nice, I'll use the word physicality.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: I'll say it. Some balls get in there.
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: You coach in there for sure?
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. Yeah, there you go. Not now,
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: but there you You coached Cole Kaffield at university at
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: the University of Wisconsin when he won the Hobie Baker
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: Did you did you foresee him scoring fifty in the
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: NHL Tony Did you think that this was going to happen?
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: I did, And I don't mean to say, like I know,
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to say I told you so. But
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: I watched him. I learned from him.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: He was one of those players and I kept This
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: is how I this is how I knew. I would
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: ask the goaltenders, I go, can you guys please stop
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: Cole one of these times so he stops dancing around
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: the rink and celebrating after every time he shoots on
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: you guys, you know, in practice and he goes, we can't.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: We had no idea where the puck's coming when it
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: comes off of stick, And so I started to watch
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: the goalies, you know, try to play as he was shooting,
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: and he was so deceptive on where the puck came
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: off as blade that normally, if it came off the toe,
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: the goaltender knows all he's going. You know, I can
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: seet a little bit, you know, high glove, because that's
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: where it's got to go when it comes off a
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: player stick like that. Cole could deceive that and it
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: could go low blocker when it looked like for sure
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: it was going high glove. So that little ability to
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: be able to disguise his shot coming off as blade,
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: for me, showed me something that others than that. The
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: best shooter that I ever played with, I thought was
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: Joe Sakik, And I'd played with Bret haall different type
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: of shot. I'd played with some other great great Luke Roboti,
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: great great goal scores. But you know, Joe sakak had
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: that little pole drag and he'd always shoot to the
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: place where the goaltender had the most difficult chance of
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: getting his pad or blocker over there. And Cole has
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: that same instinct of knowing where do I shoot that
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: it's going to be really hard for the goaltender to
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: make that safe. So I knew he'd be productive. I
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: knew how competitive he was. You know, I got to
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: watch him lead to big ten and scoring his first year.
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: I got to see him make that next step his
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: next year when he won the Hoby Baker. I watched,
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: you know, all the little things he did day after
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: day after day after day to become a better and
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: more complete player, but also even work on the shooting
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: and the goal scoring to a different level than I've
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: ever seen. So yes, I am happy for him. He's
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: earned it because of the work he's put in. And
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: you talk about a smiley kid that affects everybody in
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: the locker room, everybody in the city for that matter,
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: every hockey fan you turned on the TV. What are
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: you going to see when you see Cole Coffield. A
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: big smile on his face and someone that's enjoying what
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: he's doing. And that's what hockey's all about, and that's
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: what what he's been able to bring to that franchise
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: into our league.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: A big smile on his face and joying what he's
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: doing also could be fitting to describe it Tony, Tony,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: this is phenomenal stuff. Again, look forward to seeing you
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: on NHL Network, Angel Work Radio. We've had don He
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: was very with his answers.
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: Would be a very very different type of interview, very detailed.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: He held him when I'm coaching, Hey, Donnie, what do.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: I do here?
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: I need to run a practice? You have me to
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: get up a practice? Can you do something to help?
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: He's gonna let you know he's not gonna get cheated either,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: and we'll get came on at some point, so well,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: of course came to him.
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Man, that's a much better interview than both Donnie, and.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: We'll get that third gard three. Great stuff, Tonys, Thanks
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: you guys, Thanks once again to Tony Gronando. He was terrific.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Speaking of terrific, make sure you check out this new
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: documentary on Netflix. It's called Marty Life is short documentary
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: about Martin Short, who's had a remarkable career. Proud Canadian
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: first and foremost Hamilton guy. You know, was obviously made
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: his bones in Toronto with SCTV, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: all those great comedians of that era. He's a guy
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: who's had a remarkable career in show business because he
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: never really had a major hit. If you look at
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: his movies. I said to you Martin short you go
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: he was great father of the Bride. I'm like, yeah,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: supporting role stole the movie. It was not the star.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: Most of his starring vehicles didn't work. Three Amigos did
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: not work. Him and Chevy Chase, Steve mart notable flop.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: You know where time people have enjoyed it. But he
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: said a late career resurgence. Only Murders in the Building
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: is a genuine hit. With his good friend Steve Martin
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: still touring together. Those guys do it all the time,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: and of course his best friend Eugene Levy. Those guys
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: stay in touch. Very good revealing documentary just about his life.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: And at one point when talking to John mulaney, whom
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Millanny is telling you how much they loves Three Amigos
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: and Martin, swort'z again, but we lost a golden child
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: that weekend, Like it wasn't a hit. He's a well,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: it's a great film. So they worked together on a
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Milaniy's sitcom and it didn't work out. Martin Short said
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: to him, this is show business, John, because the reviews
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: were terrible and the ratings were awfully. It was ninety
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: the time. It doesn't work, this is it. We just
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: move on to the next thing, and it's amazing. Tom
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Hanks talking about Martin Short, he goes, that guy is
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: pure joy like it doesn't matter what it is in life.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Martin Short has the right approach. He's positive mind, overcome
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: considerable tragedy. At twelve lost his eldest brother, and eighteen
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: lost his mom. At twenty lost his dad, and he
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: has said lost has been a big part of his life,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: but he's just learned to adapt with it. His beloved
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: wife who they show great videos of cam Corner videos
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: and Tom Hanks speaks about her and Steven Spielberg and
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: wonderful presence. She died ten years ago from cancer. So
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: this is a guy who's not only very funny, but
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: he's overcome a lot of tragedy, a lot of trauma
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and orders to really inspire generations. And Tally, I know
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: you've seen it. My favorite part of it. Colin O'Brian
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: asked him about that year he worked INESNL. Martin Shore
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: was not a fan of ESNL, just didn't like the
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: grind of it, the work of it, but he did
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: it for one year. He asked tick everesl the leave.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: He goes, just get me through one year, He's okay.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: His best character is Nathan Thurm, who was this incredibly
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: defensive character, and Conor goes, where'd you come up with
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: the character? Like everything? He's like, I know that. Don't
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: you think I don't know that? And he goes there
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: and I love stories like this. He goes, there was
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: a makeup artist who would be dabbing your face and
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: I'd go like, I visitor, she I know that. Don't
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: you think I don't know that. I'm like, okay, no problem.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: He was whatever you'd say. She was so defensive. So
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: he goes, Harry, shears, like you should do that at SNL.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Like it because she's gonna know. He's like, she's not
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: gonna know, Just do it. He goes, I started doing
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: it and people love the character, and he goes, she
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: didn't find out until literally the rap party. Her assistant
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: is so drunk and she goes, don't you know what
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Marty's doing? Marty's making funny but he's Seingntha he's doing you.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: She goes, I know that, don't you think I don't know?
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: That great documentary?
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: It was great. I love Martin Short.
• 55:34
  Speaker 6: It was incredibly compelling how much loss he's had in
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: his life. His daughter passed away before the film came out,
• 55:41
  Speaker 6: and Catherine O'Hara, who was in the film, but just
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: you could see through it all. Like the amount of
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: home video they have is pretty, uh, pretty impressive because
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: this guy, he and his wife seem to host every
• 55:54
  Speaker 6: weekend by the looks of it, you know, and and
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: documented everything.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Loved it.
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: I was shocked by the revelation that that Three Amigos.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: Was a bomb.
• 56:03
  Speaker 6: I love that rights to watch a million times, So
• 56:07
  Speaker 6: that was that was shocking. But yeah, a lot of
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: fun like you'll laugh, you'll cry. We all love Martin Short.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Jady, your thoughts of Marty Shore. I know you even
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: seen The Dog.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, Glickman, is that interview.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: Jiminy Glick is unbelievable. I'm glad you put that out.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: That's probably the funniest ten minutes of the Dog.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: It's incredible, But those interviews are so funny.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: He talks to Steven Spielger, Stephen, what are you gonna
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: make the big one.
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: When I'm really connect with the audience. Frank Frank frug
• 56:37

  Speaker 1: Porter Nate, Porter Bartone. Unbelievable. This guy's been great so far.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: The World Championships of course, made an impact with the
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Flyers, and then sick because yeah, I want to
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: play with him. So it's Sidney Crosby and Macklin celebringing
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: right now. You know, we've had Dean Everison on telling
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: us how big the World Championships was for celebrity playing
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: with Sidney Crossby. Could we see that now furthering Porter
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Marton's development?
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: I mean absolutely. I mean to have the opportunity to
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: play with sid and all these other good players and
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: be around him, and you know it just I don't

  Speaker 4: even think he's playing with him, you know, but you
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: you're we're with him in the locker room. You see
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: how they practice, you know, you pick up so many
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: different little things. I'm sure Macklin did last year, and
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: you know, Porter Maarton is going to do the same thing.
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: It's almost kind of funny because Sid's helping the Flyers
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: right now, making Port Martone better. So but this is
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: great for him.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, just from enemies to wine mates, just

• 57:59
  Speaker 3: of young kids that came in the league this year
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: that really exceeded expectations.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: He's one of them.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Familiar face for women's hockey histories back Manon Reem, the
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: only woman to play, Yeah, the only woman to play
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: in an NHL game of any kind. Named the general
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: manager of the new p w HL team in Detroit,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: one of four expansion teams coming to the league. Hamilton's
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: got a team Vegas. You get a team, and big
• 58:22

  Speaker 1: years working hockey ops the Kings. Prior to that workload

  Speaker 1: with the Little Caesars w a program for eleven year olds,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: A big ad for the p w HL. Listen, Ja,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: they're really smaller the league he women's hockey. They've got
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: from eight to twelve teams down next season.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Why the hell is Hamilton have a team
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: dump of a city?
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to mention that because put in
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: it it's a population of five thousand.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: If you like, that's give Montreal two teams. Give Quebec
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: city a team like team like the big city of
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: the South video. I'd love to see Phoenix get a
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: team to Yeah, they're doing a great job building this
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: and and it's a great product on ice.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: It's been really good.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: So and o kayome another face, no Layom, another face
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: ever on the pod every week out.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Just give us a good French name and I want
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: to go to see a JD could pronounce it.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: No Rayom.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: It's it's good too. For I love their adding teams
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: on the West too. You know we got San Jose
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: now and Vegas. I mean for especially being in California,
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: like for young women in California, like Vegas is going
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: to be their team.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: So it's it's great in San Jose.
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: So it's gonna be It's gonna be awesome.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: It's just growing the game.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: And our last thought is we hand out flowers the
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Buffalo sabers nade plenty we'll get this one. Yeah, plenty
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: of great stories to enjoy this season. They lost to
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Montreal Canadians and that rally song. They fired Kevin Adams
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: as their GM in December fifteenth, they were fourteen fourteen
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: and four. After that, thirty six, nine and five, finishing
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: first in the Atlanta Division. They make the playoffs first
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: time in fifteen years. They went a playoffs for his
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: first time in nineteen years. So rais beer saber to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: the team and their fans. They got a recent Alex
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Tuck who went pointless with a minus eight against Montreal
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: and Peyton krebs Beck Blentson will also be a FRA agent.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Buffalo date. It's one thing to say, Okay,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: we climbed the mountain, we made the playoffs, we won
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: a round. Now what do you do.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: Do it again? Got to do it again? You got
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: to keep growing. You can't just be one year and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: fourteen years and then not make the playoffs next year.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: You guys got to do it again. But I think
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: now expectations and then obviously you said it with all
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: the free agents they have a priority is I think
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: you got to try and bring back Alex Tuck. I mean,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: he's from that area. You know, he's had success there,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: It's been a good fit. They have a good core
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: group of guys. I think he should be part of it.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: And I think that's a big, uh, a big priority
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: for them moving forward. Is that.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: I mean Rasmus Dahlin coming out party almost this season.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: You know, Tage Thompson developed a little more into a
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: veteran leader. You got Josh Doen had a breakout season
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: in So there's a lot to like. A lot of
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: UFAs though, and a lot of question marks I think
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: on the back end for them. You know, they brought
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: in Stanley and Schen two guys they brought in at
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: the deadline. Both guys were scratched, so to me, you know,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: especially that both guys are scratching the biggest game of
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: the season, so those guys are likely gone. So now
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: you got to fix your decor you got you know,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: you didn't play Michael Kesslering at all. So I'm assuming
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: they're going to get rid of him or and then
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: that's another guy gone. They have Metsa there, you know,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: and I to me, I think personally, I think they
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: got to move one of those left handed defensemen, maybe
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: owen power, try to get somebody on the right side,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: try to balance it out a little bit too more
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, I think as
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: good of a season they had, I think they should
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: have beat Montreal and they I think they dropped the
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: ball in that a little bit. I thought Abtreal again.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: And it's no knock on Montreal at all, but they
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: had the game, They had a few games firmly in
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: hand that they let slip. And I just think that
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: we'll see what even happens at the coaching edition. Does
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: Lindy Rouff come back.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Well, heavy favor right now, Your boy Lindy rough To
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: win the Jack Adams Award. How about that.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: I would have thought that this exp Does he come
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: back though, or does he retire? I don't know. He's
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: been in the league for one hundred years.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Just one of the Jack Atams. You gotta come back
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: one more if I'm.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: Coaching one more and riding around one more. But yeah, so,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: but you know, there's just there's a lot of question marks.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: But today's point. You got to take a step forward.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: Now you cannot go back.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: I can't go back forward. Fuck can't go back.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: That's from the critically acclaimed Broadway musical Pretty Woman.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: Nice Well, you can play set with that song.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: Go ahead?
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: What's the name of the song? Of all the habits?
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: Fans are playing this French song?
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, play it? Oh you wanted one more time?
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: That's close.
• 1:02:48
