0:54
Speaker 3: JD.
0:54
Speaker 2: What's it been like atting your Wednesdays back? You will?
0:56
Speaker 1: We had a week off last week. I was I
0:58
Speaker 1: just celebrate No One scripted on a Wednesday.
1:00
Speaker 4: Oh happy day, finally having a Wednesday where I didn't
1:03
Speaker 4: have to fuck. Can chase you around figuring out what's
1:07
Speaker 4: the right schedule with you on the East coast, me
1:09
Speaker 4: on the west coast.
1:10
Speaker 5: And Nace, I mean if people only knew. You know,
1:13
Speaker 5: it's not it's list. It's not the end of the world.
1:16
Speaker 4: But when you're trying to four people are trying to
1:18
Speaker 4: connect to schedule, is like, it's the hardest thing. I'd
1:23
Speaker 4: rather try to disarm a nuclear bomb than I have
1:25
Speaker 4: four people try to figure out their schedule and figure
1:28
Speaker 4: out an hour that works with a guest.
1:29
Speaker 5: Once you throw a guest on.
1:30
Speaker 2: What's you tell the guests in?
1:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, because people to be in the maestro tell us
1:35
Speaker 1: it's so easy just recording your basement. It's not the recording.
1:38
Speaker 1: The recording is fine, it's the logistics that causes the chality. Regardless,
1:44
Speaker 1: we continue, tell how you been.
1:48
Speaker 6: I'm well, I'm in New York City this week in
1:50
Speaker 6: a in a midtown Manhattan hotel where the air conditioning
1:53
Speaker 6: doesn't work.
1:53
Speaker 5: So that's yeah, I take New York in the summer.
1:58
Speaker 6: I feel like the best revenge may be the best
2:00
Speaker 6: revenge may be calling out the hotel by name on
2:03
Speaker 6: this podcast.
2:03
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to.
2:04
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about taking it relatively recent innovations.
2:07
Speaker 1: I feel like air conditions around for thirty years. But
2:09
Speaker 1: if somebody said you, what are the things you cannot
2:11
Speaker 1: live about an iPhone, a DVR, air conditioning like air
2:15
Speaker 1: conditions number one. Like if you said no phone for
2:17
Speaker 1: I'm like I it'd be hard, There's no question about it.
2:19
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll think, no, honey, AC.
2:24
Speaker 4: Seen all the stuff from the have you seen all
2:26
Speaker 4: the stuff in the World Cup. We're like the European
2:29
Speaker 4: people are the European fans are coming over like wait,
2:32
Speaker 4: you guys have AC in every building.
2:36
Speaker 5: They don't want to leave.
2:37
Speaker 2: It's true.
2:38
Speaker 1: Much of England, it's a great point by Gid. Much
2:40
Speaker 1: of England does not have air conditionings. It was never
2:42
Speaker 1: that hot, and now the last ten years, like holy shit,
2:44
Speaker 1: this is crazy. People are dying in the streets thing
2:46
Speaker 1: and they hate it.
2:47
Speaker 2: They love it over here. Air conditionings massive.
2:49
Speaker 5: You miss it when it's when it's gone, that's for damn.
2:52
Speaker 3: Sure.
2:52
Speaker 6: Do you have a fan going there's like a little
2:55
Speaker 6: air coming in. But we each have our little individual
2:58
Speaker 6: fans that we've been holding to our heads when we're out.
3:01
Speaker 5: It's muggy man, it is uh. It is uh.
3:04
Speaker 6: Sloppy nuts underwear weather and sloppy nuts.
3:10
Speaker 3: The whole city hot.
3:11
Speaker 5: They was just there. He knows exactly what I'm talking about.
3:13
Speaker 2: That's a great point. I told me.
3:14
Speaker 1: I New York is an all time great city in
3:17
Speaker 1: the spring and in the fall, and the winter is okay,
3:20
Speaker 1: spring and falls, you guys know, is six weeks apiece.
3:22
Speaker 1: But I think New York summer highly overrated. Like it
3:24
Speaker 1: is just disgusting hot.
3:27
Speaker 3: It smells, the smells.
3:29
Speaker 7: I left there this morning and just just like it's
3:32
Speaker 7: just it's just hot everything hot smell everything hot hot smells,
3:35
Speaker 7: you know. And like I said, it smells like weed
3:38
Speaker 7: throughout the whole city because it's so hot, so correct.
3:42
Speaker 1: The biggest thing I noticed is theyt a weed. I'm like,
3:44
Speaker 1: this isn't I mean? In answerdam all of a sudden,
3:45
Speaker 1: it's nuts.
3:46
Speaker 2: All right, to the hockey we go.
3:47
Speaker 1: Stevie Baye our favorite ongoing soap opera, The Summer Bains
3:51
Speaker 1: a Dylan arkinsag and detroits all tell it just took
3:53
Speaker 1: a new turn of the announcement Wednesday franchise lessons Steve
3:56
Speaker 1: Eiseman out as general manager, but stay with the team
3:59
Speaker 1: as senior advisor, which means the Red Wings need a
4:01
Speaker 1: new GM just two months before training camp, and their
4:03
Speaker 1: Captain's Dell wants out, Dylan Larker reportedly expanded the list
4:06
Speaker 1: of teams he would go to by adding Dallas. Well,
4:09
Speaker 1: the team's most up against the salary capital, a list
4:10
Speaker 1: that already included Vegas, Minnesota, and Florida. So what happens
4:14
Speaker 1: now and could a Larka moved to Dallas include Jason Robertson,
4:17
Speaker 1: who has opted for arbitration with Dallas. Let's do see why.
4:20
Speaker 1: First JD I thought he's out of my like, wow,
4:22
Speaker 1: he's out. They find me doing senior advisor. Eh, we've
4:25
Speaker 1: still got his tentacles in there.
4:26
Speaker 2: Is this just him being neutered a little bit? Or
4:29
Speaker 2: is he just taking a different advisory position? What does
4:31
Speaker 2: this mean to you?
4:33
Speaker 4: The timing couldn't be worse. I don't know what the
4:35
Speaker 4: hell Detroit's doing right now. Why at this moment, after
4:39
Speaker 4: free agency, after the end of the season, now you're
4:43
Speaker 4: demoting him and it's it's clearly there has to be
4:47
Speaker 4: some form and some enormous disconnect with Dylan Larkin, his camp,
4:53
Speaker 4: the ownership management, how it's been handled. Listen, I think
4:57
Speaker 4: everybody is at fault within that organization. I don't think
5:00
Speaker 4: it's just Stevie. Why at this point, because listen, I
5:02
Speaker 4: was talking. You know, is del Larkin a top twenty
5:05
Speaker 4: player in the NHL, in the top twenty center. But
5:09
Speaker 4: the way he's handled this as the captain and has
5:14
Speaker 4: kind of layered a cloud over this team a little bit,
5:16
Speaker 4: and Stevie Whye could not have handled it worse. But
5:20
Speaker 4: again we have to remember that like Detroit, the last
5:22
Speaker 4: three years were firmly in a playoff position, and it's
5:25
Speaker 4: on the players. It's just as the players are put
5:28
Speaker 4: on the ice, you got to find a way to
5:29
Speaker 4: get in. So I don't think it's all him. But again,
5:32
Speaker 4: why wait to this moment for Illich and that ownership
5:36
Speaker 4: group to move him down a wrung and you know
5:40
Speaker 4: where they go from here? I don't know. I'd assume
5:43
Speaker 4: it's going to be external, because they would have announced
5:45
Speaker 4: something if it was internal, like a Shan Horkoff has
5:47
Speaker 4: been there for a long time.
5:48
Speaker 5: But yeah, I don't like.
5:50
Speaker 4: Anything that's going on in Detroit, and I feel bad
5:53
Speaker 4: for that fan base there and New Rink City has
5:56
Speaker 4: been revamped by the Illich family and the downtown's fantastic
6:00
Speaker 4: tits and ass everywhere.
6:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the team sucks, So Nate, why do this
6:05
Speaker 1: to Eiserman, Like, what is the point If you're gonna
6:07
Speaker 1: get rid of him, get rid of him, and if
6:08
Speaker 1: you want himbolden him forever, then do that as well.
6:10
Speaker 1: I know the elextrim is very close to Isisman, So
6:11
Speaker 1: I get it. Maybe it's too hard to fire guy,
6:13
Speaker 1: but then why make the move Anyways?
6:15
Speaker 7: Well, I look and what it's what Jad said, it's
6:18
Speaker 7: the Larkin situation. I think that's what's catapulted this whole
6:22
Speaker 7: situation really with Stevie. Why And I wonder and at
6:26
Speaker 7: the first, at first, I had the utmost respect for Stevy.
6:28
Speaker 7: I played under him in Tampa. He built that organization
6:31
Speaker 7: in a way and all that roster, and he's done
6:33
Speaker 7: a great job and he's tried to do a good
6:36
Speaker 7: job here just hasn't worked.
6:38
Speaker 3: And he's talked about it.
6:39
Speaker 7: You know, it's been on him, it's been on the players,
6:42
Speaker 7: and you know, now they're in a situation where I
6:45
Speaker 7: wonder if you know it was you know, him stepping
6:48
Speaker 7: down or it was more of like, Okay, this is
6:50
Speaker 7: a situation where Larkin, we need to go a different
6:52
Speaker 7: way cause moving forward, whoever GM comes in, I wonder
6:56
Speaker 7: if it's maybe we're not gonna trade you. Maybe we're
6:59
Speaker 7: gonna make this work with you. Maybe I'm gonna sit
7:01
Speaker 7: down with Dylan and be like, hey, we need you here.
7:04
Speaker 7: You're the apt to this team. We need you part
7:05
Speaker 7: of this moving forward. And it's crazy to see where
7:08
Speaker 7: they're at now because you look at you look back
7:10
Speaker 7: at the beginning of March and where they were at,
7:13
Speaker 7: and now you look at it and where they're at
7:15
Speaker 7: in the summertime and maybe possibly without doing Larkin and
7:17
Speaker 7: know Stevie why, it's it's a shit show there.
7:21
Speaker 2: Tell how do you see it being resolved?
7:24
Speaker 5: Well, that's the issue.
7:25
Speaker 6: I think the longer it went, the less likely it
7:27
Speaker 6: was to be resolved. Like how many teams have pretty
7:29
Speaker 6: much set up their roster at this point, Like Florida
7:33
Speaker 6: was one of the teams that Dylan Larkin put on
7:35
Speaker 6: his first on his list.
7:36
Speaker 5: Like they're done, Florida's done making deals right.
7:39
Speaker 6: I don't see how they could even have the cap
7:42
Speaker 6: flexibility to do anything. And as far as you know,
7:45
Speaker 6: kicking Stevie why upstairs? You know, people have to remember
7:49
Speaker 6: when the Illich family bought the Red Wings in the
7:52
Speaker 6: eighties and turned the organization in town completely around and
7:55
Speaker 6: turned the whole city around. One of the first moves
7:58
Speaker 6: they made when they bought that team was drafting Steve
8:00
Speaker 6: Eiserman like eighty four, Stevie Why and the Illaches and
8:03
Speaker 6: Chris Ilich is still in the show.
8:04
Speaker 5: They're like family there.
8:06
Speaker 6: They are handcuffed for better or worse, you know, in perpetuity,
8:10
Speaker 6: so they can't really fire him. They'll give him a
8:12
Speaker 6: cushy advisory role. But you know, I think they feel
8:15
Speaker 6: he probably missed you know, this is my own take.
8:17
Speaker 6: They feel he misplayed this and now it's probably too
8:20
Speaker 6: late to do anything before the season starts and there's
8:23
Speaker 6: no big blockbuster coming between now and mid September.
8:27
Speaker 2: Could Dallas happen? JD? Could Dallas Robertson happen? Is there anyway?
8:31
Speaker 5: I think so?
8:32
Speaker 4: But I what I've heard is that, you know, Stevie
8:36
Speaker 4: Why is waiting and he's not going to trade Lark
8:38
Speaker 4: and unless it's like the best possible deal ever.
8:42
Speaker 5: So it's kind of funny.
8:43
Speaker 4: That he's you know, we talked about it and I've
8:46
Speaker 4: kind of been kicking around. I'm like, at what point
8:48
Speaker 4: are the gm IS going to push back on these
8:51
Speaker 4: star players? Saying that, hey, you know you sign a
8:54
Speaker 4: no movement clause because one you earn it, but two
8:58
Speaker 4: you protect yourself because you're telling an ownership group and
9:01
Speaker 4: you're telling a team and a franchise. I want to
9:03
Speaker 4: be here for the foreseeable future. Now things can happen,
9:07
Speaker 4: and you know, relationships can sour, but you signed that
9:10
Speaker 4: no move clause knowing that you're gonna be there and
9:14
Speaker 4: you want to be there. So now that these players
9:16
Speaker 4: have started using this and weaponizing it, I think gms
9:20
Speaker 4: are now going to be like, no, no, no, fuck that shit,
9:22
Speaker 4: like you're not you're not allowed to get a no
9:24
Speaker 4: move clause and then tell me when you want out.
9:26
Speaker 4: It's used as protection for the player, not as a weapon.
9:30
Speaker 4: So you know, I think Stevie why telling them like
9:33
Speaker 4: we're gon, we're gonna strip you, and you're just playing
9:35
Speaker 4: until we get a deal. And if we don't find
9:37
Speaker 4: a deal, you better play your ass off because otherwise
9:39
Speaker 4: the worse you play, the lesser is going to be
9:42
Speaker 4: a chance for us to get a great deal.
9:44
Speaker 5: So it's kind of like, all right, let's see what
9:46
Speaker 5: you can do. So I like that Stevie White called
9:49
Speaker 5: his bluff.
9:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm laughing.
9:51
Speaker 1: I'm laughing because I'm like, I'm generally pro player, but
9:54
Speaker 1: I kind of like Stevie, why stick it to a
9:55
Speaker 1: little bit Nate, Like, I'm kind of.
9:56
Speaker 2: Like, you know what.
9:57
Speaker 1: But always I'm like, guys should get paid. You guys
10:00
Speaker 1: earned it, you work your ass, And I totally get
10:01
Speaker 1: you want to go, I tellgat, but I'm like, you
10:03
Speaker 1: know what, I got, like like the lark and like
10:05
Speaker 1: you can just settle down, dude.
10:06
Speaker 3: I totally agree that this is this is the part.
10:09
Speaker 7: This is the part that really is a stink part
10:11
Speaker 7: of it for me, where he only gives the three
10:13
Speaker 7: teams and then Dallas and that's it, where like you,
10:16
Speaker 7: like JD says, he weaponizes his no move where it's like,
10:19
Speaker 7: come on, man, you gotta give more teams. That it's unrealistic.
10:22
Speaker 7: All those teams are set. You know what their cap
10:23
Speaker 7: situation is. All these players know that. They know that.
10:27
Speaker 7: For so for him to be that narrow minded with
10:30
Speaker 7: the just three or four teams and not open it
10:32
Speaker 7: up and give Stevie Why a better chance to make
10:34
Speaker 7: the deal and make their team better when he's the captain,
10:37
Speaker 7: I mean, JD said he's handled it just as bad
10:40
Speaker 7: as Stevie. Why has no doubt about it.
10:43
Speaker 1: So, speaking of handling things, somemoimes, you're gonna just roll
10:45
Speaker 1: the dice man, go out there and just give it
10:47
Speaker 1: a shot. Danny Breer had Flowers fans in the edge
10:50
Speaker 1: of just full excitement. Oh my god, Leo Carlson five years,
10:53
Speaker 1: ninety million, twenty one years of age.
10:56
Speaker 2: This guy's gonna get eighteen million a year.
10:57
Speaker 1: And Nate, you know the Flyers need a one sea
10:59
Speaker 1: and the worst way this guy's gonna come in thirty
11:00
Speaker 1: goals a season. Oh my god, the Flowers got their superstar.
11:03
Speaker 1: They're gonna make Jason Deamaer's looks stupid. JD said the
11:05
Speaker 1: Flyers are gonna have a bad off season. They're not
11:07
Speaker 1: gonna make the Flats. Are gona get Leo Carlson. Eh,
11:09
Speaker 1: nothing happened. Man Ducks matched it. Patper BIKSI, No, we
11:12
Speaker 1: got you like we don't need your four first round
11:14
Speaker 1: picks and we're gonna stick with this. Utah also match
11:17
Speaker 1: in New Jersey's one year offer sheet for center Bart
11:19
Speaker 1: Hayton and so Billy tried to sabotage the Anaheim's cap.
11:22
Speaker 1: And you know, maybe there's some issues there. The Ducks
11:23
Speaker 1: lost four defenseman. They still designed Cutter goach 's an
11:26
Speaker 1: RFA coming up a forty one goal season. But the
11:28
Speaker 1: bottom line, and I hate to give JD credit night,
11:31
Speaker 1: but the Flyers trying to make a big move and didn't.
11:33
Speaker 1: And now the off season is you re signed Bladar,
11:37
Speaker 1: you resigned Forrester.
11:38
Speaker 2: You still don't have a one C. You didn't make
11:40
Speaker 2: any big moves like like, nice job. Danny didn't prove
11:43
Speaker 2: the roster though. That's a whiff to me.
11:45
Speaker 3: Oh w yeah it is, and I think it was.
11:50
Speaker 7: It was expected to be a whiff. I think if
11:52
Speaker 7: you're looking at Leo Carlson and he's better than the
11:56
Speaker 7: four first rounders or maybe five in the next four
11:59
Speaker 7: or five years. But that's how good this guy is.
12:01
Speaker 7: That's the reason why Danny Danny B made that made
12:03
Speaker 7: that offer sheet. And kudos to uh my old agent,
12:07
Speaker 7: my old agent for a long time, Matt Cater and
12:09
Speaker 7: Ryan Cater, his son, who did a damn pretty damn
12:12
Speaker 7: pretty good job. I'm sure you guys listen to thirty
12:14
Speaker 7: two thoughts with Elliott and in the UH in the
12:16
Speaker 7: interview and and and how it transpired and everything that happened.
12:20
Speaker 7: So you know, for Philly, they are they're they're they're
12:24
Speaker 7: back against the wall, I guess. But at the same time,
12:27
Speaker 7: you know, they're growing their building. You know, they're in
12:30
Speaker 7: a situation where they were playing with house money last year.
12:34
Speaker 3: You know.
12:34
Speaker 7: So it's it is, it's it is a big whiff.
12:37
Speaker 7: Like you said, but but but but Anaheim, I think
12:40
Speaker 7: this is you know, I think it was inevitable. If
12:43
Speaker 7: it wasn't Leo, it was gonna be somebody else.
12:46
Speaker 3: But I think no matter.
12:47
Speaker 2: What, fifteen insteads eighteen just too much and JD.
12:50
Speaker 1: Now for the flyers, hey better make sure there's no
12:52
Speaker 1: RF faced people want out there. Hey when Porter Martne
12:54
Speaker 1: wats twelve millionaire, better pay up, buddy, because something's gonna
12:57
Speaker 1: get you back.
12:57
Speaker 2: Now.
12:59
Speaker 5: I love it.
13:01
Speaker 4: I've been calling for this for like two years now,
13:03
Speaker 4: or I think GM it needs to be the wild
13:05
Speaker 4: West here, like no hard feelings.
13:07
Speaker 5: Business is business.
13:08
Speaker 2: Now.
13:09
Speaker 4: When I first saw that that deal, I was like,
13:14
Speaker 4: you know, I thought that if Anaheim accepted it, they
13:19
Speaker 4: were screwed. I still think they're screwed. I think they're
13:21
Speaker 4: fucking up shit Creek because again, we just heard on
13:25
Speaker 4: I just listened to Spitting Chicklets and keith Yandle said
13:28
Speaker 4: he heard Cutter Gotz will not take a cent under
13:30
Speaker 4: eighteen million, So they're done.
13:32
Speaker 5: Cutter's Cutter's gone.
13:34
Speaker 4: So Cutter's gone, or they're signing him, and they're going
13:37
Speaker 4: to have two players and a bunch of fourth liners.
13:40
Speaker 4: I might be able to go back and play there
13:41
Speaker 4: for minimum, but which.
13:43
Speaker 2: As you guys don't.
13:44
Speaker 1: And I know, just to get context again, Cutter GoChi
13:46
Speaker 1: did not want to play for the Flyers. They trade
13:47
Speaker 1: him the Ducks or Jamie Drysdale, Who's fine, he's the
13:49
Speaker 1: top four defense.
13:50
Speaker 2: He's not here. Yeah, they stick it to the Ducks
13:52
Speaker 2: a little bit.
13:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Philly now, and listen, tidy piece of work
13:58
Speaker 4: by Pat Verbeek because he had to sign it. I
14:02
Speaker 4: think he was stuck. To Nate's point, but him waiting
14:06
Speaker 4: till the final hour, Philly couldn't do anything else. They
14:09
Speaker 4: couldn't go and sign somebody because they're like, well, we
14:12
Speaker 4: need to know if our caps it's not.
14:14
Speaker 3: Philly's fucked.
14:15
Speaker 4: So now it's kind of like this, this like back
14:18
Speaker 4: and forth, and I think, listen, do I think it's yeah,
14:21
Speaker 4: take a swing. That's great by Philly, but like, come on, like,
14:25
Speaker 4: come on, like like at least sign him. And then after,
14:29
Speaker 4: like once we're like a week away, maybe start looking
14:32
Speaker 4: at other options and trying to you know, pay somebody.
14:34
Speaker 4: Maybe go after Dylan Larkin if that's what you're trying
14:37
Speaker 4: to do. But I think Philly's in trouble. I think
14:40
Speaker 4: Anaheim's in trouble. I was surprised even at the Utah signing,
14:44
Speaker 4: but I think Utah is really I think Utah matching
14:48
Speaker 4: Barret Hayden is understanding that they're going for it this year,
14:53
Speaker 4: and I think now they have really good center depth
14:55
Speaker 4: and they're like, hey, listen, no matter how good or
14:57
Speaker 4: bad Barret Hayton is. And I know Hates has kind
15:00
Speaker 4: of dealt with some injury stuff. They're like, we're gonna
15:02
Speaker 4: need center depth to go in along run, and you
15:05
Speaker 4: know it's hard to find those guys. So I like
15:08
Speaker 4: the resigning of Hates. They can't trade him for a
15:10
Speaker 4: year or anything. But yeah, going back to Philly, I
15:13
Speaker 4: think they're absolutely hooped and so is Anaheim.
15:16
Speaker 5: Two hoops teams.
15:18
Speaker 3: I want to go to Anaheim. I'm I'm gonna play
15:20
Speaker 3: Devil's advocate.
15:21
Speaker 7: If if, like say Cutter signs for eighteen as well,
15:26
Speaker 7: no signs for eighteen or seventeen eighteen, it's gonna be
15:31
Speaker 7: it's gonna be the same situation in Minnesota. They're going
15:34
Speaker 7: to be in the same situation. Yeah, with Faber, you
15:36
Speaker 7: mean and Hughes, with Hughes and CAPRICEO. So, I like,
15:41
Speaker 7: is Anaheim still gonna be okay? Where you know, the
15:44
Speaker 7: CAP's going up. All these guys are going to be
15:46
Speaker 7: making over fifteen in the next couple of years.
15:49
Speaker 3: It's gonna that's gonna be the norm.
15:51
Speaker 7: And I think Leo Carlson, I mean, he's this guy
15:54
Speaker 7: is he's a legit, bona fide superstar.
15:57
Speaker 3: He's going to be and I think in five or
16:00
Speaker 3: six years, I know right now it.
16:02
Speaker 5: Is he saying. He's saying, X, this deal is gonna
16:05
Speaker 5: look good.
16:05
Speaker 3: It's gonna look good.
16:07
Speaker 1: Tell how about like in the NFL first round picks,
16:10
Speaker 1: You're like, well, that's like a fifty percent chance the
16:11
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be like a star tight end, like that's
16:13
Speaker 1: the first one pick is very valuable in hockey.
16:15
Speaker 6: You go maybe definitely, yeah, definitely more of a crap
16:18
Speaker 6: shoot I think. I mean, Pat Verbeek's had a pretty
16:20
Speaker 6: good record drafting in Anaheim. And the only other thing
16:23
Speaker 6: I was gonna add to this is they got Beckett
16:25
Speaker 6: Seneca was going to be an RFA in twenty twenty eight.
16:28
Speaker 6: And if Pat Verbeek does the same thing with him
16:30
Speaker 6: and waits till the last minute to get that deal done,
16:33
Speaker 6: Ducks fans are gonna lose their mind. Like, Beckett Seneca
16:36
Speaker 6: better get his extension figured out next summer or the fall,
16:39
Speaker 6: next fall at the absolute latest.
16:41
Speaker 5: They can't let they can't let him.
16:43
Speaker 6: They can't go through the exact same stuff with Beckett
16:45
Speaker 6: Seneca that they're now going through with Carlson and coach.
16:48
Speaker 5: I love that they came out and they're like, we
16:51
Speaker 5: love our decoor.
16:53
Speaker 3: Yeah that was you.
16:55
Speaker 2: Lost four defense. Love what we got right.
16:57
Speaker 3: Now right side.
16:57
Speaker 4: I love at seven point two million a year is listen,
17:04
Speaker 4: we at it before. I'm a player spot. I love
17:06
Speaker 4: when guys get paid. But oh my god, did he
17:09
Speaker 4: absolutely rob Pat Verbeek. Seven point two million for five
17:13
Speaker 4: years is crazy for a guy that hasn't played over
17:16
Speaker 4: sixteen minutes a night.
17:18
Speaker 7: Well, you heard what I think in that deal that
17:21
Speaker 7: I believe. This is what I've heard is that they
17:24
Speaker 7: were around the three million range when they were negotiating,
17:27
Speaker 7: and then the Leo Carlson thing and it went to seven.
17:30
Speaker 5: Great job by the agent, like.
17:32
Speaker 3: That job by all the agents.
17:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't like, they're gonna have to trade.
17:37
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to trade Crider or Kilarn or both
17:41
Speaker 4: of them.
17:42
Speaker 3: They might have to.
17:42
Speaker 4: Trade Troy Terry. You might have to move Troy Terry,
17:46
Speaker 4: which I think, you know, four years at seven million. Honestly,
17:49
Speaker 4: that could free up the cap space. I'd moved Troy Terry,
17:52
Speaker 4: try to bring in somebody else, or you move Crider
17:55
Speaker 4: and kill I mean.
17:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean one of them, one of them has
17:58
Speaker 3: to go. But no matter what, one of them has
18:00
Speaker 3: to go.
18:01
Speaker 1: Will say, I'm always taking a really good luck what
18:04
Speaker 1: tal puts for the headline for each episode. So, for example,
18:07
Speaker 1: the put Keaton Verahoff is ready breaking down a wild
18:10
Speaker 1: weekerd phraseency He'll put Jackson Blake as a champ, Brady
18:13
Speaker 1: joins his bro Catherine Tappan does it all at least
18:15
Speaker 1: higher Hiller Hurricane season Baby. The reason I mentioned this
18:19
Speaker 1: is my recommendation for this week's episode should.
18:21
Speaker 2: Be two hooped teams. I just think I think that
18:25
Speaker 2: should be the headline.
18:26
Speaker 1: And quite honestly, if I saw that, I would click
18:28
Speaker 1: on just my suggestion.
18:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, two my former teams too. Yeah, we call that
18:36
Speaker 4: for Loube, we call that a shit sandwich. Troy Terry out.
18:40
Speaker 6: For another five or six months, by the way, speaking
18:42
Speaker 6: of trading toy term, So that's gonna be tough.
18:46
Speaker 5: It's a great start for them next season.
18:49
Speaker 1: This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen
18:51
Speaker 1: in my life. Meet the Dundon's Danny Breer, Pat ver Beek.
18:54
Speaker 1: Not only people ashall Taken heat. The engraved names are
18:56
Speaker 1: killing Hurricane staff and players. Recently unveiled grave for Hurricanes
19:00
Speaker 1: are Tom Dundon, who JD is as polarizing as against
19:02
Speaker 1: people go. He's really smart guy Blazers fans not crazy
19:05
Speaker 1: about him. A little tight fisted, but they did win.
19:08
Speaker 1: Now he puts his name in the cup, of course,
19:09
Speaker 1: did you the owner of the team, you pay the bills?
19:10
Speaker 2: Please your wife Rushka. I guess behind every great man,
19:14
Speaker 2: there's a great woman. Fair five children.
19:16
Speaker 1: Hanging a second Cayden, Dax, Drew, Blake and Taken all
19:22
Speaker 1: had their names and graved in the cup.
19:24
Speaker 2: Now, to their credit, they did make sure to include
19:26
Speaker 2: the great Nick de.
19:26
Speaker 1: Laurier love them Let's Go Flyers, even though he played
19:29
Speaker 1: barely three minutes in their entire playoff run. But Jadie,
19:33
Speaker 1: this is about as week as it gets if you
19:35
Speaker 1: if you want know the headline for you week saw
19:37
Speaker 1: us five kids engraved on the cup.
19:40
Speaker 2: That is shameful.
19:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is kind of a can you call this?
19:46
Speaker 4: Can you call the nepotism or I mean this is
19:49
Speaker 4: kind of those you know, it's an owner that without
19:53
Speaker 4: the owner, you know, there is no team and there
19:55
Speaker 4: is no franchise. But again that's the owner, not his
19:59
Speaker 4: kids that are what's the youngest.
20:01
Speaker 7: Like four?
20:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, like four?
20:04
Speaker 5: I don't know.
20:05
Speaker 4: Was he the inspiration in the muse for for building
20:09
Speaker 4: this franchise. There's just so many other people that and
20:12
Speaker 4: it does take a village to win a Stanley Cup.
20:14
Speaker 4: And you know, I haven't won one, but you know,
20:16
Speaker 4: talking to guys around the league and stuff like that, Like,
20:19
Speaker 4: I don't know, there's been other teams that have done
20:22
Speaker 4: it in franchises, but I don't know. I just I
20:24
Speaker 4: think you got to put it that there's the little
20:26
Speaker 4: people behind the scenes that do so much, Like come on,
20:29
Speaker 4: like you can figure you can find four names that
20:33
Speaker 4: aren't those kids that contributed probably as much as is
20:39
Speaker 4: or more than some of the players on the roster.
20:43
Speaker 2: They love Wilder more than anything the world. Your lovely daughter.
20:45
Speaker 1: You would never in a million years, if you.
20:48
Speaker 2: No, you will, I'll do it. You got the Stanley Cup.
20:52
Speaker 3: There's not a chance, not a chance, no chance.
20:57
Speaker 5: That put my daughter on there. In a fucking second.
21:00
Speaker 7: That is the biggest zero fox given move I've ever seen.
21:04
Speaker 3: To put it was two rows of Dundon's. That's all
21:07
Speaker 3: I saw was Dunded, Dundonne Dunded, Like.
21:10
Speaker 7: Maybe just do Dunded family, Just put this, leave it
21:12
Speaker 7: at that that, you know, Dundon family.
21:15
Speaker 3: Family.
21:16
Speaker 1: Do you guys sacrifice life and limb for decades of
21:19
Speaker 1: your line for one chance with your name of the
21:21
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup?
21:22
Speaker 2: And you're telling me some rich owner is gonna put
21:24
Speaker 2: his kids names. You're like, yeah, I get it.
21:27
Speaker 4: You go, yeah, but if you go and ask him,
21:29
Speaker 4: he'd probably say, hey, how about you buy the team?
21:32
Speaker 5: Then yeah, exactly, he's got to get the fuck I want.
21:35
Speaker 4: All right, listen, we're we're also paid handsomely to do
21:39
Speaker 4: that job. And it's a it's a kid's game, and
21:41
Speaker 4: it's you know, the fans are why. You know, I
21:45
Speaker 4: truly believe that the fans that are coming out are
21:47
Speaker 4: the reason why we get paid what we get because
21:49
Speaker 4: it's a takes a whole village for we're the end
21:52
Speaker 4: product of, you know, of so much planning and prodding.
21:55
Speaker 4: But again, ownership, there's somebody that doesn't want to shell
21:58
Speaker 4: out one point five Billy. Yeah, I mean he wants
22:02
Speaker 4: to put his kid on the on the thing. I
22:03
Speaker 4: mean said, do I condone it?
22:05
Speaker 3: No, but he has every rate.
22:08
Speaker 5: You're right, I kind of love it's something you don't.
22:11
Speaker 3: Agree with it, you gotta love it.
22:12
Speaker 2: I get it. Very contrarion Yeah, me to. The Capitals
22:16
Speaker 2: had a great offseason.
22:17
Speaker 1: Addition to Jordan cayru Boone Jenner, Alex Tuck really started
22:20
Speaker 1: their summer last week. Though captain Alex Ovechkan announced can
22:23
Speaker 1: be returning to the Caps at least one more season,
22:25
Speaker 1: solidifying might be the best top.
22:27
Speaker 2: Nine forward unit in the league.
22:28
Speaker 1: He marked the occasion by surprising a drinking club in Russia.
22:31
Speaker 5: What a surprise.
22:32
Speaker 2: Enjoying some bruise at the fans. What can we expect
22:35
Speaker 2: Nate from OVI in his twenty second season. He'll enter
22:38
Speaker 2: the season.
22:38
Speaker 1: With nine hundred and twenty nine career goals. I don't
22:41
Speaker 1: think he gets to one thousand. I think I thought
22:43
Speaker 1: that like a year ago, and Jedd he was like,
22:44
Speaker 1: no chance. And I'm with team JD on that. But
22:47
Speaker 1: what Bruce Pado said to me date was you put
22:49
Speaker 1: Alaso Vechlin's name in the lineup.
22:50
Speaker 2: That's thirty five goals. Like period.
22:52
Speaker 1: You can say what you want as far as a
22:54
Speaker 1: liability to our foot player defensively, he has to hog
22:57
Speaker 1: time in the power play like it's a big deal.
22:59
Speaker 2: But that's thirty five goals. Good to go.
23:01
Speaker 7: That's what I was gonna say. I was gonna say
23:02
Speaker 7: it was automatic thirty. Probably around thirty goals.
23:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd go thirty or thirty five, Bruce.
23:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say right around twenty five thirty.
23:10
Speaker 7: But I would say he's he's going to be on
23:11
Speaker 7: the power play, he's going to be in his spot,
23:13
Speaker 7: he's going to play in that top six. He might
23:15
Speaker 7: have even play in the third line because their third line
23:17
Speaker 7: is that good too. So I think it's going to
23:19
Speaker 7: be the same Alexander Rovechkin were used to me, I'm
23:21
Speaker 7: sure he's gonna be used differently like he was last
23:23
Speaker 7: season with what the no defensive zone face offs and
23:27
Speaker 7: uh situational play with whatever that whatever the game is
23:30
Speaker 7: that and they need certain players on the ice.
23:33
Speaker 3: But I think Ovi's gonna be OVI.
23:36
Speaker 4: Ah, yeah, listen, I we got to we got to
23:40
Speaker 4: interview Spencer Carby on HL tonight, and like two three
23:43
Speaker 4: weeks ago, I think before OVI came back, and he
23:47
Speaker 4: was he was talking to us and he's like, I
23:48
Speaker 4: was like, if you talked to Ovi? And I think
23:50
Speaker 4: Tony Lefton asked him if you talk to Ovie at all?
23:52
Speaker 4: And he's like, yeah, I just he checks in like
23:54
Speaker 4: once a week, be like, hey, what's up, coach, hows
23:55
Speaker 4: everything going? And every time, you know, he'd he kept
23:59
Speaker 4: telling Carby like yeah, I'm training, working out this and that,
24:02
Speaker 4: and so you know, I'm shocked. I was fully convinced
24:07
Speaker 4: he was done. I gotta eat Crow. I've been wrong
24:09
Speaker 4: about him every single turn. I think for three years
24:13
Speaker 4: they said he won't go over thirty goals. I've been
24:15
Speaker 4: wrong every single year. And then I said he's going
24:17
Speaker 4: to retire. I've been wrong. I don't know what to
24:20
Speaker 4: make ov. This team's gonna be fun to watch. I
24:22
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be one A, one B. Carolina in
24:24
Speaker 4: them and even talking to carvery like he seemed so
24:28
Speaker 4: excited to have so much, you know, I want to say,
24:33
Speaker 4: so many different kinds of player in his top nine
24:37
Speaker 4: to kind of maneuver and he's like, I can't wait
24:40
Speaker 4: to put lines together. Like he's got the speed of
24:42
Speaker 4: Cairou now that he hasn't had. He has the kind
24:45
Speaker 4: of Alex Tuck side of power, another power forward. You
24:49
Speaker 4: obviously you have Wilson and the Protus brothers. You know
24:51
Speaker 4: they're going to be extremely extremely fun to watch. And yeah,
24:56
Speaker 4: this is a team that I expect big things from
24:58
Speaker 4: this year.
25:00
Speaker 6: Full season of Cole Hudson too. I just want to
25:02
Speaker 6: add that, a full season of Cole Hudson on the back.
25:04
Speaker 3: And PLD PLD as well.
25:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, hit grip, mean time is Russia back?
25:10
Speaker 1: Speaking of OWI big news last week at the International
25:12
Speaker 1: Olympic Committee lifted the suspension. The Russian Olympic Committee opened
25:16
Speaker 1: the door for Russian athletes to compete for their country
25:18
Speaker 1: at the twenty thirty Winter Olympics in their French Alps.
25:21
Speaker 1: Canadian Olympic Committee objected the move. No word from the
25:24
Speaker 1: NHL yet and if Russia could be included in the
25:26
Speaker 1: World Cup schedule for twenty twenty eight, Obi will be
25:29
Speaker 1: forty two at the time of that tournament. Hasn't committed
25:31
Speaker 1: internacity for Russia since twenty nineteen. I'm gonna say I
25:36
Speaker 1: doubt he captains the Russian team, although never seen. Every
25:38
Speaker 1: of these guys do certainly love Mother Russia. And I
25:40
Speaker 1: know it's complicated in terms of geopolitics, invasion of Ukraine,
25:43
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be allowed to compete, et cetera. But I'll
25:45
Speaker 1: say this, I like hockey when the best teams are involved,
25:49
Speaker 1: and I just again, I'm not gonna involved in the politics.
25:51
Speaker 1: I just like seeing when the best players are there.
25:53
Speaker 1: To me, it always fe a little empty when Russia
25:55
Speaker 1: was not there. JD played in Russia. He knows their
25:57
Speaker 1: passion for hockey, et cetera. I just liked the move
25:59
Speaker 1: as a hockey fan. Is that okay to say.
26:01
Speaker 7: Nate one hundred percent and conceivably, I mean, you look
26:04
Speaker 7: at the three best goaltenders that arguably in the league
26:08
Speaker 7: are all Russian and you know Sorokian, Vasilevsky, Shakin, and
26:13
Speaker 7: then you have their forward lineup and all their guys,
26:16
Speaker 7: and you think about, you know, four nations. You think
26:18
Speaker 7: about the Olympics, and you think about what if you
26:20
Speaker 7: add Russia into this, like it's a different tournament, completely
26:23
Speaker 7: different tournament. And now that they're back in and you
26:25
Speaker 7: mentioned Ov, I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
26:29
Speaker 7: doubt Ov.
26:29
Speaker 3: I'm playing until he's forty two.
26:31
Speaker 7: And who knows, I could see Ovi being done after
26:34
Speaker 7: next year, going back, playing a year in Russia and
26:36
Speaker 7: then joining the Olympic team. I could see that happening too. So, uh,
26:39
Speaker 7: this is this is good. This is good for the league,
26:41
Speaker 7: good for the players. And you know that you know
26:42
Speaker 7: other you know, the other nations, they want to play
26:44
Speaker 7: against Russia, they want to play against the other best players.
26:47
Speaker 3: JD.
26:47
Speaker 1: You're the only one of us who spent meaningful time
26:49
Speaker 1: in Russia. What does this mean to you?
26:53
Speaker 5: So that's a matsa ball, right.
26:55
Speaker 4: This is a ninety percent of the guys on that
26:57
Speaker 4: roster live and play in the United States of America.
27:01
Speaker 4: So you know, I feel like it's I've always felt
27:04
Speaker 4: that punishing, you know, punishing players in people, and you know,
27:09
Speaker 4: I call it regular people that are just trying to
27:12
Speaker 4: live their life day to day. You know, ninety nine
27:14
Speaker 4: percent of us on planet Earth don't want war. It's
27:17
Speaker 4: government stuff. It's government, like you said, it's true political stuff.
27:21
Speaker 4: Hockey should rise above that. Soul should all sport. It
27:26
Speaker 4: should be a place to unite everybody. And you know,
27:30
Speaker 4: it's a little callous and it's a little arrogant to
27:32
Speaker 4: kind of block one country when you know, then we
27:36
Speaker 4: start going g politically. Every country has its faults, every
27:38
Speaker 4: country does bad things. You know, this is bad as well.
27:42
Speaker 4: But again it's not the players. These guys you talk
27:45
Speaker 4: to any single Russian citizen, Russian player.
27:48
Speaker 5: None of them want war. Nobody does.
27:50
Speaker 4: We just want to live our life, make some paper,
27:52
Speaker 4: make love to a beautiful woman or man if that's
27:54
Speaker 4: what you're into, and go home and go to sleep
27:58
Speaker 4: and take care of our families.
27:59
Speaker 5: And that's it.
28:00
Speaker 4: So it's like it's kind of you know, to me,
28:03
Speaker 4: I'm like they should have and the fact that, like
28:06
Speaker 4: I said, they're all they all live here, they all
28:08
Speaker 4: live in Miami, So go to Golden Aisles in Florida.
28:12
Speaker 4: Every single NHL Russian players there. I skated with twelve
28:16
Speaker 4: of them that are probably going to be on Team Russia.
28:18
Speaker 4: These guys are just living you mean, they're they're living
28:22
Speaker 4: on the beach in Florida. They love living in the States.
28:25
Speaker 4: And it's not the States and it's not America that
28:27
Speaker 4: makes a decision. It's the i HF for you know,
28:30
Speaker 4: the governing body of that. But again, to me, I
28:33
Speaker 4: don't know, it's a little bit of the pot calling
28:34
Speaker 4: the kettle black.
28:35
Speaker 5: So but you know, it is what it is.
28:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this twel those as we're both Piganora fans.
28:41
Speaker 1: A lot of Russians are in Brooklyn. Those guys are
28:42
Speaker 1: getting after the headquarters right now as we speak, so
28:44
Speaker 1: they'll be excited and write a party when we come back.
28:47
Speaker 1: It's the mid section of the podcast. No guests, we
28:49
Speaker 1: don't need it. There's still lots of free agents out.
28:51
Speaker 1: There's a lot of plug in where some of these
28:53
Speaker 1: guys are going to go. Let's coming up next here
28:55
Speaker 1: on NHL unscripted. Most of the big names off the board.
29:07
Speaker 1: Anthony Mantha did just son a two year deal in
29:09
Speaker 1: New Jersey for a nine point five million Mantha coming
29:12
Speaker 1: off a thirty three goal season in Pittsburgh playing primarily
29:15
Speaker 1: with him, getting Malcolm now could get a chance to
29:16
Speaker 1: ride shot him with Jack Hughes thoughts in the move
29:19
Speaker 1: for the Devil's JAD He talked earlier about Barret Hayton nap,
29:21
Speaker 1: But what do you think about Mantha to New Jersey?
29:23
Speaker 3: I like it.
29:24
Speaker 7: I like that Sunny Mana went out and got Anthonymantha,
29:27
Speaker 7: big body. I think they need some size up front.
29:30
Speaker 7: They you know, they're not a huge group up front,
29:32
Speaker 7: and right now they got him slought on the second
29:34
Speaker 7: line with Jack Hughes and yesper Brad on a daily face. Yes,
29:37
Speaker 7: So I think it's gonna be a good fit. And
29:39
Speaker 7: you know, Anthony Mantha had a really good season last
29:41
Speaker 7: year obviously, and he's been a guy. He's always been
29:43
Speaker 7: a guy that's underachieved for me, Like he even when
29:45
Speaker 7: he was in Detroit and those other things, he had
29:47
Speaker 7: all this ability and just never really it never really
29:50
Speaker 7: came out to the forefront. And then last year in
29:52
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh he was so good and you saw it and
29:54
Speaker 7: you saw his size, and you know he's.
29:55
Speaker 3: Actually sneaky tough too.
29:56
Speaker 7: So like this guy has a lot of different intangibles
29:59
Speaker 7: that I think are gonna help New Jersey. I think
30:01
Speaker 7: I think it's a really good, really good pickup.
30:04
Speaker 4: He's uh, he's the greatest player on last year of
30:09
Speaker 4: his deal in the NHL history. He's fantastic. You get
30:13
Speaker 4: him on last year of his deal, He's unbelievable. So
30:15
Speaker 4: this year, I don't know how great it's gonna be.
30:17
Speaker 4: But next year, New Jersey Devil fans.
30:19
Speaker 1: Stult to a guy you're seeing his only motivated when
30:21
Speaker 1: he's molney on the table.
30:22
Speaker 7: I mean I did that a couple of times too.
30:24
Speaker 7: I mean, I'll do that, aren't.
30:27
Speaker 4: We look at his deals? Go tell go through his deals?
30:32
Speaker 4: Hit the last year of his contract. He is a
30:34
Speaker 4: fucking dog. So this year probably not. Sometimes maybe we'll
30:39
Speaker 4: see if I tell.
30:40
Speaker 5: You what next year.
30:42
Speaker 4: Come next year, twenty five thirty goals and Jersey's in
30:46
Speaker 4: the playoffs. But sorry, New Jersey Devil's fans might be
30:49
Speaker 4: tough sledding this year.
30:51
Speaker 2: But I love it both called big body love it.
30:53
Speaker 2: I like that stud. He went two years, then didn't
30:55
Speaker 2: want to go three years. He would have mail hit
30:56
Speaker 2: him for two years, should.
30:58
Speaker 4: Have went one year deal, he would have been. Anthony
31:00
Speaker 4: Manthon a one year deal is a dangerous man.
31:02
Speaker 2: So truly it's a one year, nine point five million
31:05
Speaker 2: dollar tail.
31:06
Speaker 1: You're telling me if he lights it up that second year,
31:08
Speaker 1: he'll be worth that nine million.
31:09
Speaker 2: All right, best remaining free agents.
31:11
Speaker 1: Take a quick look at some of these names on
31:12
Speaker 1: the board. Thoughts on this duet here JD. Patrick, Kane,
31:16
Speaker 1: Vladimir Tarasenko. You're gonna play a spot where those guys
31:19
Speaker 1: could end up.
31:20
Speaker 4: Oh, man, you know, Tarasenko is interesting one. You know,
31:26
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna wait to see I They're probably
31:28
Speaker 4: both way. I bet you Caane and Tarasenko both waiting
31:30
Speaker 4: for each other to see where that one goes, you know,
31:34
Speaker 4: to maybe set the market for them. But you know,
31:38
Speaker 4: Kaner is an interesting one. You know, it's gonna be
31:42
Speaker 4: in one of those top five teams. I don't see
31:44
Speaker 4: him going to Colorado. You know, Utah doesn't really need him. Yeah,
31:48
Speaker 4: I don't know, not that I put Utah on the
31:49
Speaker 4: top five, but Minnesota. Maybe Zukuerello's gone. Maybe Kaner goes
31:56
Speaker 4: to Mini, maybe goes to Buffalo, maybe he goes home.
31:58
Speaker 5: You know.
31:59
Speaker 4: So you know there's a couple of places that I
32:01
Speaker 4: had thought of, even you know, you look at it
32:03
Speaker 4: off the kind of something that's maybe a little bit outside,
32:07
Speaker 4: but you know, Montreal Canadians potentially could be a spot.
32:12
Speaker 4: I don't, you know, really know enough with where Kaner
32:15
Speaker 4: wants to go and what he's thinking of doing. But
32:19
Speaker 4: you know, I expected to be to a contender, just
32:21
Speaker 4: like Laddie's gonna go to a contender. And I wouldn't
32:24
Speaker 4: be surprised. Also if Tampa Bay sniffing up both these guys.
32:29
Speaker 4: I named every team, I have no idea.
32:31
Speaker 1: I like, I like this one can say hard, So
32:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just give you a listed you too much.
32:34
Speaker 1: One you're most excited about Marcus Johansson, Michael Bunting.
32:37
Speaker 2: You like Tolvin and James Van Riemsdyke.
32:40
Speaker 3: M Marcus Johansson the one. I like that one. He's
32:44
Speaker 3: always been a guy for me.
32:45
Speaker 7: He's you know, been kind of a Swiss army knife
32:47
Speaker 7: on every team he's been on and plays in a
32:49
Speaker 7: lot of different situations. I could see him in a
32:53
Speaker 7: in Boston. Maybe I looked at him in a Boston role.
32:55
Speaker 7: You know, he can play in a you know, third
32:58
Speaker 7: line or second line, first line role. You know, Tara
33:01
Speaker 7: Sinko one, I was interesting. I thought of Utah, and
33:05
Speaker 7: then I also thought, like, if Kane doesn't go to Buffalo,
33:08
Speaker 7: I could see Terry Sinkle going to Buffalo as well.
33:10
Speaker 3: If that doesn't, like like you said, it doesn't work out.
33:12
Speaker 7: But the one for the other one that jumps out
33:14
Speaker 7: is Clinkberg going to Anaheim. Like we talked about Anaheim
33:17
Speaker 7: kneeing a right handed defenseman. So I look at it too.
33:21
Speaker 7: As you know, you have Jackson leccolem. You don't have
33:24
Speaker 7: olwen Zelweger anymore. You know, if Jackson leccolem gets hurt
33:27
Speaker 7: or whatever happens, I mean, knock on wood, but you
33:30
Speaker 7: don't have your number one power play guy. I mean
33:32
Speaker 7: maybe you'll, you know, maybe Clinkberg steps in and he can.
33:34
Speaker 3: Do that role.
33:35
Speaker 7: So they need right hand and shot defenseman. And that's
33:38
Speaker 7: another one that just screams to me, to Anaheim right now.
33:41
Speaker 4: I got one guy that And it happens every year
33:46
Speaker 4: there's a player usually defenseman, which sucks out us. But
33:50
Speaker 4: Logan Stanley, yeah, Logan Stanley. I don't know what his
33:55
Speaker 4: agent did or what you know. I think the end
33:58
Speaker 4: when he got traded to Buffalo. I think that hurt
34:01
Speaker 4: a stock. You know, he barely played and then you know,
34:04
Speaker 4: was like scratched at times in the in the finals,
34:06
Speaker 4: he was playing like eighteen minutes of twenty minutes and
34:09
Speaker 4: Winnipeg at nine goals. You know, I think he I
34:13
Speaker 4: think he could benefit a team big time. So I
34:15
Speaker 4: think he's gonna end up probably having to take a
34:18
Speaker 4: one year deal. I'd be surprised if he, you know,
34:21
Speaker 4: gets more than that. At this point, it's unfortunate. I
34:24
Speaker 4: think he still might get something. But yeah, I thought
34:29
Speaker 4: he was going to make a bag this offseason and
34:34
Speaker 4: to tals point before, like a lot of teams have
34:36
Speaker 4: filled up their needs. So I don't know if he
34:38
Speaker 4: was asking for too much and priced himself out or
34:41
Speaker 4: he's got five six offers, but it doesn't look it
34:45
Speaker 4: looks like a lot of teams have picked up the
34:47
Speaker 4: d men they wanted. You know, I could see maybe
34:50
Speaker 4: even a shark's going after him. I'd still like him
34:54
Speaker 4: if he becomes cheap enough, you know, for that five
34:57
Speaker 4: to six roll bringing another tree. But it's tough for him, man.
35:01
Speaker 4: I expected him to be off the board by now.
35:04
Speaker 2: Amen.
35:05
Speaker 1: And as far as goalies are concerned tal It's not
35:07
Speaker 1: exactly Jerry Cheevers, Bernie Brunt, Ken Dryden, but Cam Talbot,
35:11
Speaker 1: Connor Ingram, Peter Murrazik, who tickles your fancy.
35:15
Speaker 6: I've always liked Kem Talbot. That's a guy who's been
35:18
Speaker 6: around a long time now.
35:20
Speaker 3: You know.
35:21
Speaker 6: I covered him when he stole our Marty b Rom's
35:23
Speaker 6: backup spot with the Rangers and came out of nowhere
35:26
Speaker 6: to win that backup spot behind Henrik and he's just
35:29
Speaker 6: been going and going and going ever since. I mean,
35:31
Speaker 6: if there's a team out there that needs a solid
35:33
Speaker 6: veteran backup, you can do a lot worse than Cam Talbot,
35:37
Speaker 6: in my opinion. Another guy I was going to quickly mention,
35:40
Speaker 6: I don't know if we did, you know, mention him
35:42
Speaker 6: at all in the so far, but James Van Riemsdek
35:44
Speaker 6: is a guy who you know what he brings year
35:47
Speaker 6: after year after year. Seven power play goals for Detroit
35:50
Speaker 6: last season. That's not bad for a guy who you
35:52
Speaker 6: could probably get on a one year veterans veteran minimum
35:55
Speaker 6: probably for that guy, and you want to keep playing.
35:58
Speaker 5: He can help a team out on their power play.
36:00
Speaker 3: Av You know whose power Play struggled last year.
36:03
Speaker 1: JVR let's ahi, guys, that's where the Flyers were gonna get.
36:08
Speaker 1: Jero Nate I said, we just see me on face
36:10
Speaker 1: offs of the power play. She would have been the
36:11
Speaker 1: guy go ahead.
36:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, g's there. Right, he went back to Ottawa. I mean,
36:20
Speaker 4: you got David Paran, you got Adam Henriq, you got
36:24
Speaker 4: uh Carson Sussi. You know, I'm wondering what Toronto's gonna
36:29
Speaker 4: do with Cali yarncrock as well. Are they going to
36:32
Speaker 4: resign him there? Over the cap They're gonna move somebody.
36:34
Speaker 4: I think they're still trying to move Morgan Riley. Maybe
36:37
Speaker 4: that's holding up a lot of stuff. I still, I
36:39
Speaker 4: still think Morgan Riley has the potential to not be
36:41
Speaker 4: Toronto Mapleve at the start of the season. But I
36:46
Speaker 4: still I still think there's a lot of exciting, Like
36:48
Speaker 4: there's still some moves that are going to be made.
36:50
Speaker 4: I think in the next couple of weeks.
36:52
Speaker 2: Nice last topic, Bedard bedridden.
36:55
Speaker 1: Chicago already taken plenty of heat for trading the fourth
36:57
Speaker 1: overall picking the draft for the right to make Bowen
36:59
Speaker 1: bayhim the highest peed defenseman in NHL history. Now comes
37:03
Speaker 1: where it starts in or Conrad. We'll miss the start
37:05
Speaker 1: of the season after shoulder surgery. Do an injury sustained
37:08
Speaker 1: during a summer skate in Vancouver? What but Dark's still
37:11
Speaker 1: restricted free agent needs to be signed, so this could
37:13
Speaker 1: put a wrench into that.
37:14
Speaker 2: More importantly, JD a summer skate in Vancouver.
37:19
Speaker 5: Come on, but Dard?
37:21
Speaker 3: Fuck Cotters?
37:23
Speaker 2: Why got her? Why but he go rollerblading? Go to
37:27
Speaker 2: the beach?
37:27
Speaker 4: Take these Oh that was unfortunate. That was unfortunate. It happens.
37:32
Speaker 4: You have to listen. You have to we play a
37:34
Speaker 4: full contact sport. You can't you know, played tittley winks
37:38
Speaker 4: all summer. You have to get a grinding and he
37:40
Speaker 4: toepicked pretty much. Yeah, he toe picked going backwards. It's
37:45
Speaker 4: like the most unfortunate, unlucky thing, and he caught his shoulder.
37:50
Speaker 5: It's stinks, man.
37:52
Speaker 4: It's honestly, like, there's nothing worse than getting hurt in
37:54
Speaker 4: the summer. It's happened to me, where like I sprained
37:57
Speaker 4: an ankle or you're like two three weeks and you're like,
38:00
Speaker 4: this just threw off my whole summer, not to mention
38:03
Speaker 4: four to six months, Like may your surgery.
38:05
Speaker 5: Chicago's in trouble. They're in trouble, man, tell you what.
38:10
Speaker 4: Chicago's right there with Anaheim and Vancouver there, they're they're
38:14
Speaker 4: in trouble. Anim I think is still better than both
38:16
Speaker 4: those teams because they're forward group. But uh, there's gonna
38:19
Speaker 4: be some teams out west that are struggling early. But yeah,
38:22
Speaker 4: this is Chicago's in one, I think big time.
38:25
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel bad for I feel bad for the
38:28
Speaker 7: kid because you know, he got all he had all
38:29
Speaker 7: that steam going and right before was a Christmas he
38:32
Speaker 7: gets hurt, right, he was playing so well, comes back
38:35
Speaker 7: then this happens, and I you know, you saw the
38:37
Speaker 7: way he fell, and I've had two left shoulder surgeries
38:41
Speaker 7: for a c separations, and I can just tell by
38:44
Speaker 7: the way he was like he fell that it was,
38:46
Speaker 7: you know, and he was grabbing his shoulder. You're just like,
38:48
Speaker 7: oh fuck, that's not good. So it's tough for him
38:51
Speaker 7: because I look at it too.
38:52
Speaker 3: For him.
38:52
Speaker 7: You know, he he can't start the season on time.
38:54
Speaker 7: He's still a young guy. You know, it takes time.
38:57
Speaker 7: When you come back from that and you're right in
38:59
Speaker 7: the middle of the season, it takes like you know,
39:02
Speaker 7: you're not going to be lighting the world on fire
39:03
Speaker 7: right away. I mean, yeah, he is Connor Burdard, but
39:06
Speaker 7: it's gonna take some time to get back into it.
39:08
Speaker 7: Your shoulders just not the same. So I'm sure he's
39:11
Speaker 7: gonna be okay, but it's just tough for him for
39:13
Speaker 7: this to happen. This young, no doubt about. It's still
39:16
Speaker 7: to come here.
39:16
Speaker 1: In NHL unscripted, a two brute Daniel Albertson is sticking
39:20
Speaker 1: the knife in the Autawa Centers and going to the
39:22
Speaker 1: Trammo police. We'll discuss Alfie's move behind the bench right
39:25
Speaker 1: after this.
39:34
Speaker 2: Time, not for CENTI five and sixty.
39:35
Speaker 1: You know you're a nerd win you go to the
39:37
Speaker 1: theater a week in advance just to buy your tickets
39:39
Speaker 1: to the Odyssey and then realize it might be a
39:41
Speaker 1: little late. I went for the six o'clock PM show

39:46
Speaker 1: I'll do it a week in advance. Third row imax.

39:56
Speaker 1: two plus trailers. Firks and to walk on the stiff neck,
39:59

40:00
Speaker 1: I just I was watching the Odyssey.
40:02
Speaker 4: Sorry took us see Alis. I got stuck half boy.
40:10
Speaker 1: Two hooped guys over here, just stuck watching the Odyssey
40:12
Speaker 1: for three.
40:12

40:19
Speaker 2: a couple of later rivals. I take one of the scenes.
40:22
Speaker 5: I'm using that one.
40:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely White pulled up the strap on Sorry my
40:27
Speaker 1: next little.

Speaker 4: Next time I said of his stiff neck, was White
40:30
Speaker 4: wearing a strap bomblas, That's good?
40:34
Speaker 5: How was it?
40:35
Speaker 3: Though?
40:36
Speaker 1: It's coming up this Friday, so I'm trying to avoid
40:38
Speaker 1: the early reviews. What critics can do now with the
40:40
Speaker 1: students have done it is they allowed critics to do
40:42
Speaker 1: quick reviews on Twitter and Instagram.
40:44
Speaker 2: So Richard Roper, the Great Richard Roper years ago, you're
40:46
Speaker 2: to Cisco, Hebert. I just watched it.
40:47
Speaker 1: By the way, looks at William Shott and I love
40:49
Speaker 1: the guy who's put on some weight. And he did
40:50
Speaker 1: like a thirty second review. He was like, I had
40:52
Speaker 1: the same feeling watching the Odyssey that have when I
40:54
Speaker 1: watched one of me and Tal's favorites, Spike Lee's do
40:56
Speaker 1: the Right Thing. I had the same thing when I
40:58
Speaker 1: was watching Quentin Tarantino's pulp Fiction. I had the same
41:00
Speaker 1: thing when I was watching two thousand Space Saucy. This
41:03
Speaker 1: is one of the great films I've experienced in that
41:05
Speaker 1: Who knows that this will add up to those all time,
41:07
Speaker 1: but it's one of Chris Nolan's best films. It's one
41:09
Speaker 1: of the best films of the year. Like Okay sold
41:12
Speaker 1: no spoilers. I was already in let's find.
41:14
Speaker 4: Out question for you, both of you in the top talent,
41:18
Speaker 4: I mean even you Nate. As as movie goes, you know,
41:21
Speaker 4: there's there's a lot of talk, you know, the casting
41:25
Speaker 4: and what are your thoughts when a movie that is
41:28
Speaker 4: Greek mythology is cast in a certain way, as you know,
41:32
Speaker 4: you're a man of a different race and ethnicity. But
41:37
Speaker 4: like you know, Elliott Page, Elliott Page being a warrior,
41:41
Speaker 4: I guess in it, and then Lupite and Young being
41:44
Speaker 4: a Hellen of Troy. You know, I'm just wondering what's
41:48
Speaker 4: your thoughts on that, because again, it's been both sides
41:52
Speaker 4: of the fence have been going crazy.
41:53
Speaker 5: I like a good movie. I don't give a shit
41:55
Speaker 5: but you know, I just.
41:57
Speaker 2: I would have reserved judgments. I see the movies.
41:59
Speaker 1: I see the movie, I go, I thought Elliot Page
42:01
Speaker 1: kind of sucked, and I think they cast him because
42:03
Speaker 1: he's trained gender, then I'll be annoyed. But if I
42:05
Speaker 1: see the film and go, I know it's with it
42:07
Speaker 1: or Lapio Young and fine. In fairness, I don't know
42:10
Speaker 1: the source material. I know about as much about Homer's
42:12
Speaker 1: Odyssey as I do about Homer Simpson, so like, I
42:15
Speaker 1: won't understand Oh great, yeah, I don't.
42:18
Speaker 2: I don't know the text.
42:19
Speaker 1: So it's not like I'm watching Death of the Salesman
42:21
Speaker 1: I play, which I love, Like, no, that's not accurate
42:23
Speaker 1: if I was watching Grapes of Wrath, so tell to me.
42:25
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know the honesty, and everyone's like,
42:27
Speaker 1: I'm like, should I brush up on it? I'm like, well,
42:29
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be speed reading it in the next
42:30
Speaker 1: two days, so we're just got to figure it out.
42:32
Speaker 1: I trust Christopher Nolan is going to make a film
42:34
Speaker 1: as accessible to somebody who knows Homer's Yossy as somebody
42:37
Speaker 1: who does not. I'm expecting a lot of action. I'm
42:39
Speaker 1: expecting it to look great in the big screen, and
42:41
Speaker 1: that's what.
42:42
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to.
42:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't care. I'm gonna go see it.
42:45
Speaker 6: It's Christopher Nolan, Like I still don't understand Interstellar, but
42:50
Speaker 6: I'm still gonna go see the honysty What I mean,
42:53
Speaker 6: I don't get interested. I I heard that Tennant was
42:55
Speaker 6: more complicated than Interstellar.
42:59
Speaker 2: I why we are team Nolan all the way we
43:02
Speaker 2: would love for somebody want to be a team Nolan.
43:04
Speaker 5: But I was very confused.
43:06
Speaker 1: Tell me he's never made a bad way. I go,
43:07
Speaker 1: I guess you didn't sit through Tennant because.
43:11
Speaker 2: I have no idea that I'm still confused by.
43:16
Speaker 6: I heard Tenant was more complicated than Interstellar, and I
43:20
Speaker 6: finished Interstellar and I didn't know what.
43:22
Speaker 2: Was going on, So I was like, I just want
43:24
Speaker 2: to be confused.
43:26
Speaker 5: But my point is I'm going to see it anyways.
43:28
Speaker 6: I trust him implicitly, Like I'm sure more than half
43:32
Speaker 6: the people complaining about the casting have never read the
43:34
Speaker 6: source material, So I'm not I'm not waiting until all
43:39
Speaker 6: this bullshit about casting and what color this person is
43:43
Speaker 6: and who this person is. If it's good, it's good,
43:46
Speaker 6: and it sounds like it's pretty good.
43:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean three hours casting. Speaking speaking of casting,
43:53
Speaker 7: Sean Avery's in it?
43:55
Speaker 5: How did he that film?
43:58
Speaker 3: Again?
43:59
Speaker 5: He's an Oppenheimer's all he does? He like is he Christopher?
44:04
Speaker 5: Is he?
44:04
Speaker 1: No?
44:04
Speaker 5: Christopher Nolan.
44:06
Speaker 1: Nolan just loves his thespian roots. He said, you know what,
44:09
Speaker 1: this guy brings it?
44:10
Speaker 4: Like really he does. He's in all three of those.
44:12
Speaker 4: That's a nice like good for him.
44:14
Speaker 2: You know what it is?
44:15
Speaker 1: I think didn't like Dion Phough And I think the
44:19
Speaker 1: fact that Sean Avery said Dempo took my sloppy seconds.
44:22
Speaker 2: That's Christopher Nolan's wampy. And you know what, team Sean Avery.
44:27
Speaker 1: It's for some reason Chris Nolan does not like Dianphanough.
44:30
Speaker 1: But Alicia Cuthbert that that's what this going on here.
44:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, Adam Sandler has Rob Schneider and Christopher Nolan has
44:35
Speaker 6: Sean Avery. They gotta give you, gotta give him credit
44:38
Speaker 6: for this is like a big deal, like budget. I'm
44:41
Speaker 6: not I'm not talking about Sean Avery being in any
44:44
Speaker 6: of these movies are big time movies.
44:46
Speaker 5: He's in them, That's all that matters.
44:48
Speaker 1: I did want one drive by from Nate because I
44:50
Speaker 1: don't watch a ton of shows.
44:50
Speaker 2: The Emmy nominations came out, I know enough just to
44:53
Speaker 2: see them.
44:53
Speaker 1: Anominations go okay, yep, the Pit I've heard of it,
44:55
Speaker 1: but I don't's watch it, Noel Wiley whatever, DTF, Saint Louis.
44:58
Speaker 1: I was thrilled to see you recognize for a lot
44:59
Speaker 1: of nominations, but I am curious nate your thoughts and shrinking,
45:03
Speaker 1: which I've never seen. Despite the fact Tess, Harrison Ford
45:05
Speaker 1: and Jason Siegel. I just want to watch Michael J.
45:07
Speaker 2: Fox. I have one question, how much is Michael J.
45:09
Speaker 2: Fox in the show? Because he was I mean nominated,
45:11
Speaker 2: but maybe just because he is Michael J.
45:13
Speaker 3: Fox.
45:13
Speaker 7: No, he's in I would say at least three or
45:16
Speaker 7: four episodes at least, and him and him and Harrison
45:19
Speaker 7: Ford together, like the scenes there together, It's uh, they're
45:22
Speaker 7: so good. He's so good. I mean, the show is incredible.
45:25
Speaker 7: It gets better every season. It's it's the same writer
45:28
Speaker 7: Bill Lawrence obviously is Ted Lasso and and just creative writing.
45:33
Speaker 7: Obviously you get a little bit of everything. And actually
45:35
Speaker 7: one of my friends is on the show too, is
45:36
Speaker 7: named Marcus Silviatro. I do I do jiu Jitsu with him,
45:39
Speaker 7: he's one of the sons of the neighbors. But the show,
45:43
Speaker 7: Jude gee you can gee. So yeah, it's a great show.
45:46
Speaker 7: I highly recommend shrinking, absolutely shrinking a shot.
45:49
Speaker 2: And JD has a recommendation for the great Sterling K.
45:51
Speaker 2: Brown in Paradise.
45:53
Speaker 5: Oh sterling K. Brown. God damn it. What a beautiful
45:57
Speaker 5: man and a beautiful actor, good looking duet, intense.
46:01
Speaker 4: There's this scene in it he was him and James
46:05
Speaker 4: Marsden go on toe to toe and I love James Marsen.
46:09
Speaker 4: He walks circles around him, circles. Really, I'm like, dude,
46:14
Speaker 4: you can't even match that intensity.
46:15
Speaker 5: Come out.
46:16
Speaker 2: I love that.
46:17
Speaker 1: It's one reason why I love The Wibly Blood so
46:19
Speaker 1: muchcause Danielly Lewis is just punking Paul Dano like it's.
46:22
Speaker 2: Not even an argument.
46:22
Speaker 4: I like Paul Dano too. I like, is it Dano
46:25
Speaker 4: or Dano Paul dwne.
46:26
Speaker 1: You know, I always thought it was pronounced Dano, but
46:28
Speaker 1: it is actually pronounced Dano.
46:29
Speaker 6: Like.
46:30
Speaker 4: I like Paul Dano a lot. I actually like him
46:32
Speaker 4: a lot. I think he's fantastic. Just think Daniel da Lewis.
46:35
Speaker 4: There's just mean hours from them there's Danieldy Lewis and
46:38
Speaker 4: everybody else inacting, and especially like intensity You're You're.
46:43
Speaker 5: Can't last of the Mohicans.
46:45
Speaker 1: Tarantino said, The Only Bloods one of his favorite movies.
46:47
Speaker 1: He said, but I just I think it's such an
46:49
Speaker 1: unfair fight. Watching D d L against Paul Dano. He goes,
46:52
Speaker 1: it's like uh Ali Quarry, which is a very dated
46:54
Speaker 1: boxing reference.
46:55
Speaker 2: But I love that.
46:55
Speaker 1: Tarantino said, it was very funny to be Anyways, what's
46:58
Speaker 1: it all about, Alphie jd? How about this Brady could
47:00
Speaker 1: truck trade didn't already put enough of a damper in
47:02
Speaker 1: the Outawa Senators offseason? Now, Daniel Offferson did an interview
47:06
Speaker 1: for the head coaching job of the Leafs to Go.
47:07
Speaker 2: How would make you assistant?
47:08
Speaker 5: But no problem?
47:09
Speaker 1: Associate coach under Jim Hiller, The Hall of Famer spent
47:12
Speaker 1: the past three seasons as an assistant in Ottawa. Franchise
47:15
Speaker 1: is all don leader and goals, assists and points. How
47:18
Speaker 1: much of kicking the balls is this to the city
47:21
Speaker 1: of Ottawa?
47:22
Speaker 4: I mean the Ottawa Centers are just in a room
47:26
Speaker 4: sitting on a chair watching the Toronto Maple's Make Sweet
47:29
Speaker 4: Sweet Love to their wife, girlfriend, mom, the whole kit
47:35
Speaker 4: and kaboodle. They are just oh, Mike, they they need
47:39
Speaker 4: that rink downtown so bad.
47:43
Speaker 5: They need that ring.
47:44
Speaker 4: Yes, they need they need it built tomorrow, yesterday, three
47:49
Speaker 4: weeks ago. Because nobody wants to go to the Brook
47:52
Speaker 4: Street Hotel. Nobody wants to go to Canada. Move it
47:56
Speaker 4: down to I. I I'm a little shocked at Alfredson,
47:59
Speaker 4: And I'd probably say that Matt Sundeed had more pull
48:01
Speaker 4: than we know behind the scenes of bringing off over there.
48:05
Speaker 4: But I don't know. I feel like it's a little
48:08
Speaker 4: you know, that's such a rivalry. You're not supposed to
48:10
Speaker 4: touch and you're not supposed to jump the line, So
48:13
Speaker 4: you know, I think it's fair to call alfreds In
48:15
Speaker 4: a scab and a defector on this one.
48:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, more than you can get promotion.
48:20
Speaker 2: He's a head coach. I get it, Bro, You're an
48:22
Speaker 2: assistant and now you're just lateral. Yeah, what are we doing?
48:25
Speaker 5: Lateral?
48:26
Speaker 3: Move swede swede love like you said.
48:30
Speaker 5: Just then over taking it up the tailpipe.
48:33
Speaker 6: He's an associate coach in Toronto technically, so it's not
48:36
Speaker 6: exactly lateral, but basically it is just want to clarify.
48:40
Speaker 2: No, but his associate that to me, it kind of
48:42
Speaker 2: sounds like the same thing.
48:44
Speaker 5: You guys, associated assistant develop.
48:46
Speaker 3: And he was coming.
48:47
Speaker 7: I would assume Alfie's coming to to help the power
48:50
Speaker 7: play in Toronto, right, He's coming in Hope, so he's
48:52
Speaker 7: a power play guy.
48:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, all.
48:54
Speaker 2: Right, a couple of thoughts. He let the fans do it.
48:56
Speaker 1: Islanders have had their moments when it comes to trying
48:58
Speaker 1: new jerseys. They decided to let fans take charge of
49:00
Speaker 1: what they do. Next, Islanders will be introducing a new
49:03
Speaker 1: third jersey. A lot of fan designed the jersey through
49:06
Speaker 1: a contest, allowing Islanders faithful to submit the right nice.
49:10
Speaker 1: The team announcer received twelve thousand entries in five hours,
49:14
Speaker 1: and a team committee mae up of executives, players and
49:16
Speaker 1: other staff was like five finalists.
49:19
Speaker 2: Bad idea, JD or genius.
49:22
Speaker 5: No, I think it's good.
49:23
Speaker 4: My one of my favorite websites is ninety nine designs Nice.
49:26
Speaker 5: That's awesome.
49:27
Speaker 4: You submit a design, and you submit an idea for
49:30
Speaker 4: a design, and people bet on it, and then you
49:32
Speaker 4: just pick a group of people. You give them each
49:36
Speaker 4: their own separate notes for what they built you and
49:38
Speaker 4: then you know, it keeps and you end up with
49:40
Speaker 4: something pretty.
49:41
Speaker 5: Cool that you, you.
49:42
Speaker 4: Know, kind of create with somebody. So yeah, I think
49:44
Speaker 4: it's gonna be cool. I think listen to fan base.
49:46
Speaker 4: They understand what it means to be an Islander fan.
49:49
Speaker 4: They understand what it is to be an Islander, and
49:52
Speaker 4: part of the New York Islanders organization is supporting them
49:55
Speaker 4: for so long. So and I think there's gonna be
49:56
Speaker 4: some pretty creative people that come up with some pretty
49:59
Speaker 4: awesome stuff. And you know what better third jersey the
50:03
Speaker 4: sixth man jersey you want to call it as being
50:07
Speaker 4: the or seventh man if you acount a goalie, the
50:09
Speaker 4: seventh man jersey like made by the fans for the players,
50:13
Speaker 4: like you know, wearing the fans on their back.
50:15
Speaker 3: Pretty cool.
50:17
Speaker 2: Nay, what do you think of it?
50:19
Speaker 3: No, I think it's great.
50:20
Speaker 7: I think you're gonna see a lot more teams doing this.
50:22
Speaker 7: I thought that the design was awesome.
50:25
Speaker 3: I really liked it.
50:26
Speaker 7: I mean I think that you can think of other
50:27
Speaker 7: teams and like JD said, I think there's there's a
50:30
Speaker 7: lot of there's a lot of creative people out there
50:32
Speaker 7: that can that can do more than a lot of
50:34
Speaker 7: these organizations I'm sure with when it comes to artistry.
50:37
Speaker 7: So I think we're gonna see some sick their jerseys hopefully, well, I.
50:41
Speaker 2: Can only hope.
50:42
Speaker 1: And last lot hanging out flowers the newly weds. Plenty
50:44
Speaker 1: of players getting married this summer. Want to acknowledge the
50:46

51:39
Speaker 2: Our mascot grew is teuth.
51:40
Speaker 1: Never there's a mascot question, tal can handle those as well.
51:43
Speaker 1: You're asking me then, well, because you're a Sharks guy,
51:46
Speaker 1: And I said.
51:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great.
51:49
Speaker 2: The kids.
51:50
Speaker 5: The kids love the mascots.
51:51
Speaker 1: Nate, nobody's anti mascot. You meet a guy who's I
51:53
Speaker 1: hate mascots, You got what's wrong with you? Like, just
51:55
Speaker 1: have some time, come on.
51:56
Speaker 3: No, I like mascots.
51:57
Speaker 7: I mean I think about the different teams that played
51:59
Speaker 7: for I mean Gritty Up you up in Montreal.
52:02
Speaker 3: Up is a good one in Mantreal. That's a great one.
52:05
Speaker 3: Some good mascots out there.
52:06
Speaker 5: My favorites.
52:07
Speaker 4: When they're absolute pissed tanks and they're just and you
52:10
Speaker 4: meet them out and they're just absolutely just.
52:13
Speaker 1: That's the better points. The mascot when they're unmasked comes
52:17
Speaker 1: like death to Smoochy, like Robin Williams like they're just crass, an.
52:20
Speaker 4: Angry, great deep cup movie like that Smoochy Edward.
52:27
Speaker 2: Work just an angry sour comedy.
52:30
Speaker 6: Very misanthropic was Edward Norton had a great recent interview
52:33
Speaker 6: where he talked extensively about Death to Smoochy By the way, Basically,
52:37
Speaker 6: he loved making it and was devastated when when it
52:40
Speaker 6: was when it bombed.
52:41
Speaker 2: Massive flop, but I underrated greatness.
52:43
Speaker 5: It was good. It a weird, dark, ye creepy movie.
52:48
Speaker 3: But it's like.
52:50
Speaker 2: Last thought, the favorite summer teammate wedding?
52:54
Speaker 1: Is there a particular team interviewers, You're like, you know what,
52:56
Speaker 1: that wedding was a blast.
52:57
Speaker 7: Oh, there's a couple of them. Steven Stamp Ghost his
53:04
Speaker 7: h it was a good one. Teddy Purcels was a
53:06
Speaker 7: good one too. His was out in Lake comb It, Italy.
53:10
Speaker 7: So that was that that didn't suck. So those are
53:12
Speaker 7: some fun ones he used. All all of them all
53:14
Speaker 7: had a common denominator. The shirts were off on the
53:16
Speaker 7: dance floor though, that's for sure. I'm sure JD can
53:18
Speaker 7: attest the same thing at his weddings.
53:19
Speaker 4: He went to JD always Yeah, I mean there's some
53:24
Speaker 4: good ones like I did a couple in like Winnipeg
53:27
Speaker 4: were just fucking grimy, deep, just the bathroom full of drugs,
53:32
Speaker 4: just at the groom. The groom didn't even sleep with
53:38
Speaker 4: the bride. They were the groom ended up like forty
53:41
Speaker 4: minutes outside downtown Winnipeg at like an after party, and
53:45
Speaker 4: then like it was just like a two day, absolute
53:50
Speaker 4: debaucherous weekend and like just middle of the summer, sweaty Winnipeg,
53:55
Speaker 4: and I just I always look back fondly on that
53:57
Speaker 4: because I'm like, you know, you think of like, oh
53:58
Speaker 4: the opulent you're in Italy and it's beautiful right now.
54:02
Speaker 4: Just give me middle of the I'm or Winnipeg just
54:06
Speaker 4: a crash. And then with the best part about those ones,
54:10
Speaker 4: My favorite part is like you know, back in my
54:13
Speaker 4: heyday when I was younger, and you know, just when
54:18
Speaker 4: full balls to the wall and then I'd run into
54:21
Speaker 4: like we'd be at like some random game like against
54:24
Speaker 4: Saint Louis and I'd be walking out and like one
54:27
Speaker 4: of like we're walking by like the family and they're like, JD,
54:31
Speaker 4: what's up, And I'm like, what's up?
54:34
Speaker 3: Like, whoa dude?
54:35
Speaker 2: What a party? We had?
54:37
Speaker 4: And I was like, who the fuck is this guy?
54:39
Speaker 4: When I partied with this guy the whole night at
54:42
Speaker 4: a wedding.
54:42
Speaker 5: And I'm sitting there and being like, yeah, great to
54:44
