  Speaker 1: NHL Unscripted is a production of the NHL and iHeart
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: podcasts Great Tabby with us here on Unscripted. Honestly, this
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is a fantastic episode. Corey Schneider, our buddy from NHL Network.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be honest. You got great stories about lou
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: La Morello and ROVERTA. Lawongo, among others. Plus Ryan Dempster,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: MLB Network colleague and friend. Obviously a great picture, one
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: of the greatest pictures ever in Canadian baseball history. He's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: got hockey stories as well, being at the Winner Classic
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: there as he's a former member of the Chicago Cubs.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: But Jady would begin.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: With the fact also by the way Senophon sixty, Val Kilmer,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I gotta pay tribute to him. I'm your Huckleberry, of course,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I know he love Tombstone. Cal mccarr just got back
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: from watching the Avalanche Avalanche Flames unbelievable game. Now the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Flames come back, they're down to nothing and they win
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: this game in the shoot.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Dan Bladar starting was unbelievable.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But honestly, what I was taken with is Cale mccarr
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: absolute beautiful goal to open the scoring. I got to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: speak to him early that day, and as you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: previous week, I got to see the Canucks, so Quinn
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Hughes one day that I got to watch KEYL mccarr
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: in person.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: He's obviously an incredible defense. But here's what I'm a
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: throw to you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I asked him, for a guy with your kind of
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: offensive skill, you could have played any position. Why did
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you play defense? He could have been McKinnon and he said, no,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you're right. As a kid, I played every position. But
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I just love the idea of playing defense as a quarterback.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: That's why I want to do it so much. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I said, did you ever watch video of these guys,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Bobby Orr whoever? He's like, No, he goes. Honestly, I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: was just inspired by the guys around me. I love
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Drew Dowdy because I obviously took a lot from Dowdy's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: game in terms of his decision making when he's able
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to do. Carlson is another big influence on me. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: what Cale mccarr is doing right now, I mean, if
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: he's your passes. Mike Green, who had a historic thirty
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: one goal season back in eight nine, that'd be the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: highest goal total for defenseman since Kevin Hatcher had thirty
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: four back in ninety two ninety three. I know you've
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: spoken a lot about Rerensky, we had him on the pod.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I know you love Quinn Hughes. But how great is
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: cal mccarr.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm just gonna say this, and I might just
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: finish it with one line. He's gonna go down as
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the best defenseman of all time.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Wow, ahead of Bobby Orr.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he is. I always put it into
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: categories of like what constitutes somebody to be the greatest
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: of And I don't like to compare eras. You know,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not the carving are like for me, Crosby right
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: now is the greatest of our era. I think he's
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the go to the era. I wouldn't compare him to Gretzky,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: but you could make an argument and if you look
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: at his body of work, but Cale mccarr will like,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: but that's Crosby aside. But Cale mccarr will go down
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: as the greatest defenseman. I think he transcends. He's gonna transcend,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: transcend eras and he could be one of those guys.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: He's so good offensively, so good defensively. He's so powerful,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: so strong, what he does, what he brings out of players.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: And you know, we can talk about Nathan mckinnuntil we're
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: blue in the face of being the Hart Trophy and
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and but what as a defenseman in that position, I
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: don't think there will be somebody better coming out. He
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: is just the gold standard. And yeah, I would, I would.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: You could put him in any era and he'd be dominant.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I love that take, by the way, because I asked
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: him just like human interest stuff, I said, after Kale
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Holse the former Flame, He's like, that's right, he goes.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: My dad did some stuff with the Flames and marketing.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: My mom was pregnant at the time. They like to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: name Kale and I looked to baptor his being our
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: buddy Thamas Sikey. Kale Hols I think in his career
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: had eighty five points, like.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: K kale is blowing the doors up and what Kale
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Hol's could have accomplished.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And as far as nicknames like Kale Salad or Kale
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: juice and call ma car Goes, I get both because
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I don't mind Kale juice actually because they called me
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: juicer a little bit, like, all right, Kale.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Juice, you did that kind of journalism.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: But it's a ninety second arrival interview would just be boring.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And Bland, I got some good stuff out. Everybody does
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: kale with a seed, not a cake. Come on, you
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: better and he's a big Back to the Future guy.

• 3:50
  Speaker 1: started again, never asked a question.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Never ask a question. It's your kids. Somebody's got to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: be thought about your kids.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Never ask a question which you don't know the answers.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: If you have a second, I just go, hey, I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: read that Back the Future is your favorite movie and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the cargoes it was my favorite.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: But it's up there.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I okay, you did it one of those.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Thank god on the air. I just go I heard
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you're a big Back of the Future fanings. Oh I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: love it, love the franchise. I go, you're like a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Dolory out there, buddy, go get him, and he certainly did.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Delareian can go in any yeah, any generation. But wow,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: this is a tough night for you. I gotta, I gotta.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: It was a great I gonna start pre interviewing you.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I need to me as a friend, just like the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: open ended questions.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: We know that's going on.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Question yeah, yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: We never never.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Asked a question you don't know the answer to because
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: you're in trouble if you're you know, that's a lot
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: of it's a lot of mots ball hanging out there.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine if I said, I've heard you were
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: named for kel Hols, because that's not true. I don't
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: know where you got that from?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: A disaster? Oh my god.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well we had uh, we we had you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: we're gonna have an interview with Corey Schneider, but we
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: had Jordan cairou on and in our notes it said
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: had would finished second place in a fortnight tournament back
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: during COVID. So Corey Schneider takes it and he goes, hey,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I heard you finished second in a fortnite He goes.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: He goes, no, we finished first. He goes, what do
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: you think second?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: And he just oh, okay, great, dead, We're dead in
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the water on air live just dead.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: You're right, good, pretty to read, be nice.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I know you want to talk about Kutrov and for
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: good reason right now in the Atlantic Division. So Toronto's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: actually six to one in one of the last eight games.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: That could potentially put a strangle on the division. If
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they've got two games against Florida one against Tampa the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: next week, so we could get battle of Ontario Toronto,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Ottawa and Florida Tampa Bay in the first round.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: That'd be really great.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: But you want to give some love toa Kida Kutrov
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: because you look at right now and again, Shane's gonna
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: talk with this as well. Hellibuck right now is the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: favorite Triple Crown category in terms of wins, shutouts, say,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: percentage goals against average, So he's a frentially four categories. Certainly, McKinnon,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: who I just got to watch, is an incredible player,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: but Kutrov might win the Art Ross. He's neck and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: neck right now. McKinnon yet not getting nearly enough love
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: for the heart. Why isn't people getting more love to Cooch.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I just feel like there's still a bad taste from
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: the All Star Game from last year, and I think
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that really hurt him. I was covering the awards and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I just didn't like the way it was handled. I
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: thought they kind of you know, I know, there's Joe
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: set award shows, but I think they kind of just
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: braid him a little bit too much, and you could
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: kind of sense it even before, like you know, he's
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: not winning this one, even though again, if you look
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: at all the top five scores in the league, every
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: single one's the center. But Nikita Koutrov to be able
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: to produce that much offense and drive a line from
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the wing position is so incredibly difficult. Now, Leon Dreistill
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: at times will go center wing with him and Connor together.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: But what Nikita has done and does every single season,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the last two specifically.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Just can't go. You can't discount that.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Like you know, as a centerman, you're gonna probably get
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: five to ten assists, especially if you're always starting the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: offensive zone where you win. The draw goes back to
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: the point, there's the shot, a goal, you get an assist,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: it happens.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: It is what it is.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: He doesn't get any of those touches, but everything is
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: run through him. On the power play. We thought that
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Stamkos is gone, they're not. He's not going to be
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: as effective. I mean, he's even more effective. He just
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: elevates the play of everybody around him. And now listen,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Hella Buck. I think we were on the network and
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: we talked and I it's tough to not give it
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to him because what he's done. He's first in every
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: single category for a goaltender, his wins, he's about to
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: break the record for he I don't think he'll get it,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: but he's close as close to winning the record for
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: most wins in a single season for a goalie. So
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's tough to not give it to him.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: And the odds makers are typically not wrong, you know
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: they're they're not far off. But I just can't believe
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the love that he's getting. I think he's like plus
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: a thousand right now. And you know, not taking away
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: anything that Leon Dreyset's under Nathan McKinnon. I think Leon's
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: been been the other guy. I would say that's not
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: talks about enough for the heart. I just think you
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: have to give it to him. You got robbed last year.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: It has to be him or Hellibuck. But I don't
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: think it will be. But that's my my hot take
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: is you know, give it to him.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Give your ballot be Hellabach koocher off, then McKinnon, those
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: be your three. Try cel not making the top three.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: That's have you seen in recent memory a heart trophy
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: that's this highly contested.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: No, it's been a great race. I'm with you even tho.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I think, by the way, the call the race is
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: not because of fascinating same thing. I break down at
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: meach got the other day, swing low sweet chariot, beach
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: coff right now, each got right now, second in points,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: celebrating your boys.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Third.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: The Flames are not gonna make the playoffs, but how
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: do you not get Wolf at least top three? I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: think it's a great race. Hudson, Hudson's gonna win. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: think if the Abs win it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: It was super close, and I think a week ago
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: and then now it's a it's a two horse, one horse,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: it's lane. Hudson's gonna get it. What he's done the record,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: it's I tweeted about it. I think a week ago
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: that like he's the winner. He's gonna get Ittson.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: He's got six as system his last two games.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: But it's crazy. I mean the one last night was
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: got off.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know what Sam Reinhardt's doing, just going down
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: and all on his knees there like that, just with
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: ten seconds of let the goalie see it. But you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I just think what Lane's done this year offensively, it's
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: you have we haven't seen that. I mean, he's in
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: He's in the same air as as Chris Chelios, Nick
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Lenstrom for rookie defenseman with points, and I just think
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: it's it's not going to be seen in a long time.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think after this, maybe we will because all
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: these offensive demon coming into the league. It's just a
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: different level these kids. But he is, what he's done
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: is great. I Celebrina just think he's it's too tough
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the team he's on to produce and we're just not
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: going to see. And you know, last year, you look
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: at Connor Bedard, what he did on a bad team
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: with the points, and they gave it to him, even
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: though I thought it should have been brock favor But
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: brock Favorites didn't have the numbers statistically, But I thought
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: what he did for his team was just merited him
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: winning the Calder. I think you're not going to see
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: that this year with Macklin versus Lane, Lane's gonna get
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: it all day and they're pushing for a playoff spot.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Matt Vey might make it close, but I think Lane
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: is now fully run away with it is going to
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: be a demon winning the Calder this year.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Book it Meetchkoff absolutely unshackled now that Torrella has gone,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Flyers playing inspired hockey.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Torch is gone, thank god, no more structure.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Bradshaw's letting us just just have some fun out there, Katoria.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: They all look like a different team, just.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Ripping his clothes off. He looks like Andy Dufrain and
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: shash Ankradem just crawled through four football fields of shit
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: to come out on the other side of free.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Each cow is just let me go right, and that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Team is that team's played well coming off of that,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: and you know it's the coach's bump. But I think
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: they're just they all took a deep excel. But how
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: about that stuff with torts coming out? We talked about
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: him last episode, how you get fired? But all, did
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: you see the stuff that Ryan Whitney posted from spitt.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: And chick Uts.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen it, he said.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: The Apparently the rumors coming out is that he told
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Cam York if you resign here, like I'm gonna bury you.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, fuck, oh my god.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I do the coach.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: There's like stories of that around the league, where like
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: a coach is like, I'm gonna get you, and that
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: if you're if you're a player, like is the worst
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: thing you could possibly hear because there's no way out.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: You're dead. So he got saved. Cam York should be
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: thanking his lucky stars that Torts got fired.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, that's why it was interesting because
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: York trash but didn't play a single shift in brad
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Shaw's first game.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: That's why I was wondering.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I know what Torts did or I didn't
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: know this specifically, but I'm like, what did Yorke do that?
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: It felt like he was being Peelans as well. But regardless,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: one more topical and we're gonna get to Ryan Dempster.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Number of top college teams closing up their season, some
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: high profile prospects signing their entry level NHL deals, most
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: normally Ryan Leonard with the Capitals, Parole with the Rangers,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and Jimmy Snuggerood with the Blues. Watching snugger Rood last night,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: loved Dave snugger Rud who was there and being interviewed,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: former Shark, former flyer. Great to see him there and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you see obviously what Jimmy was able to do. What
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: do you make g D The players straight out of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: college try to make an impact of the hockey team.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: You saw a car course do it years ago.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know if we'll see, you know, somebody doing
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: what McCart did or Charlie McAvoy. But I think there's
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: some really good players coming out of college. I just
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: think Snugger Ruod I watched that game last night. I
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: thought he did well. But you know, it's a tough
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: game to come into you coming out of college, A
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: team's on a nine game heater, and then you just please,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: for the love of God, don't let me lose this
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: game that I'm in. And I'm my first game in
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: the NHL, and I'm going to be the reason, not
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: the reason, but if they lose the game, everybody's gonna
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: be like Snugger Ruds. They lose, and they it was
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: it was touch and go, it was twelve seconds left
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: and they make Jordan kyru bails him out and then
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: they end up winning an overtime.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: But I would have been just oh, it would have been.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Just so tough. You're just sitting there dejected. I had
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: something similar My seven hundredth game was like I came
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: in and we're playing I was playing it with Edmonton.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: We're playing Santos Sharks, a game we should win. Connor
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: McDavid was chasing a record. They were kind of on
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: a heater. And then of course they start the game
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: and I make a turnover. We're down one nothing, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh god, I'm like my seven hundth game,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: We're gonna end up losing, and then they're gonna be like,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: get this guy at it here.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: We ended up winning six to one, so it was
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: all fine.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: But I think for Snugger Root, good start he made,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: he hit the post, made some good plays, and then
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: obviously Ryan Leonard. You know, I thought it was a
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: feeling out process for Leonard as well. I mean a
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: lot of pressure for him at TD Garden, all of
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: his boys there.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: I thought he got a good.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: You know, he had a good hit on on Veal
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: that was you know, all over Instagram. So I think
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: he's gonna be happy with that. And I thought the
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: guys were just great with him. And you know, it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: a game they should have won. Washington, they should have
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: beat him, and it was a lot tighter than he
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: probably would have wanted. But yeah, they they've kind of
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: worried me the last few games. It seems like they've
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: really taken their foot off the gas.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Washington.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: But you know, Leonard, congratulations, good job coming in, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: we got Gabe Perro. I think tonight what the range is.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Should be fun to see, all right.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: We got obviously lots more hockey talk on the way
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that Corey Strouderhill tellus who he'd vote for for the Heart,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: plus stories about lou Li Morello and Robert of la Wongo.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But Ryan Dempster with the great Canadian pitchers of old time.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: He's got great stories and a Harry Carry impression on
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Val Kilmer films. It's coming up right after this.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Our first guest.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: The third round pick of the Texas Rangers the nineteen
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: ninety five Major League Baseball Draft, he was a two
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: time All Star World Stories champion in twenty thirteen and
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: won one hundred and thirty two career games the Florida Marlin.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Since then, I read Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers in Boston
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Red Sox. He was also inducted in the Canadian Baseball
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame in twenty nineteen. He's one of the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: best skating pitchers ever and most importantly a friend and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: a colleague at MLB Network with Intentional Talk, which you
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: can watch weekdays at four o'clock Eastern.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Rocking a Nordeek's jersey, Ryan Dempster, what is up, demp Yes, I.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Love this old school right here. I like, I'm actually
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: I've been meaning to go get my tug nut. Put
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: on the back that I had seventy three saves in
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: a game. I didn't go against anybody else.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Look at demp drop of the hockey knowledge. When I
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: worked at ESPN years ago.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I'm knocking Chris Berman going to the World Series in
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: twenty thirteen Red Sox, and I said, Chris, I guess
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: gotta say one thing to you. Of all the lines
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you ever said, the funniest was Ron cough pleays tug nut.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: No, and honestly like, I'm a West Coast guy, right.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: I grew up out outside of Vancouver, BC. The Canucks
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: were my jam. But yeah, I could get on the
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: French channel, I could get Nordiek's games so like, so
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: there would always be the chance to be able to
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: do that. So I had this like kind of like
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: weird love of the Nordeaks for somebody who never watched
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: them play. I never went to the Pacific Hall scene
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: and watched them play. Yeah, you know, I just never
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: got there. And it wasn't until later on that they
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: moved to Colorado. I became an ABS season ticket older.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Oh really, so you.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Stayed with you you kept the the brotherhood of being
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: with the Nordeeks when they went to the Avalanche and
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: who yeah, who was your when you started with them?
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: It was like your team and what was your favorite
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: team of the ABS?
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say when I started with the Nordeeks
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: it was like, you know, the Michelle Goulet and Peterston's
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: stay Yeah, Stasny brothers, and that was kind of like,
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: you know who I fell in love with, and then
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Sackic and then they go to Colorado and I ended
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: up becoming a little bit of friends with Forrestburgh for
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: a little bit, and so I just kind of you know, yeah,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: I rooted for them in a big way and it
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: was I ran right into it. It was like a
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: perfect timing too. I moved there in the early two
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: thousands to Denver and the Nordy the Avalanche were just,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: you know, a stud team and it was a lot
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: of fun and it was season ticketab Liver for a
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: few years. Still it's still kind of root for him
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: just because of that.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: All right, let's do baseball. Torpedo bat. Everyone's talking about
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: it now.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It's not new, as you know, it was used by
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: some times last year. It seems like the Yankees, though,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: damper using it to their advantage unlike anyone else. And
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, for the record, goes, hey, I haven't changed
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: my bat. I hit home runs about what I'm using,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: but it certainly seems to be talk. It's really linked
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: right now to the Yankees. As a pitcher. What's your
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: thought on the bat?
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: I'm fine with it, you know, listen, I love that
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: when you're talking about Aaron Judge. My old teammate Glennon
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Rush had a great line. He's like, Aaron Judge, could
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: it fifty with the shaft of a foe iron?
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: Like it doesn't really mean Look at that game when
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: they hit nine home runs. In that game, eight of
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: those nine home runs were either fastballs down the middle
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: at ninety to ninety three or they were hanging breaking balls.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: They were missedlocation. And I think that's what it's kind
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: of getting lost in all of this is like because
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: we love to find something we you know, our game
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: is always miired in some sort of controversy, right dicky
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: substances from the players, peds, this thing, cheating, you know,
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: guys hammer early on, trash cans. Whatever we can find
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: that we want to attach some sort of controversy. We
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: have to the bigger problem. Where the bigger issue is
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: we have an inability to control a baseball and throw
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: it where we want to throw it, you know, And
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: it's a it's and it's multitude of different reasons. One,
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: there's such a high stress on velocity, so that's the
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: number one focus. It's not about location. Like I threw
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: bullpens and Larry Rothchaw who's my pitching coach, and if
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: I wasn't hitting my spots, he didn't care how hard
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: they threw it. And now that that has changed, that
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: is a bold because it'll let you get away with
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: mistakes right wrong, If you throw it down the middle,
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: it's still gonna end up on the other side of
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: the fence against good hitters. And that's the reality. Like
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: I watched the game the other day it was the
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Reds versus the Rangers. Rockers throwing ninety seven ninety eight,
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Brady Singer's throwing ninety one ninety three. Brady Singer is
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: dotting an ascess. It is on the corner all over
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: the place, and Kumar Rockers splitting the plate at ninety
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: eight is getting tattooed Ledli cre hits two homer seven.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: RBIs like, it doesn't matter if these guys are so good,
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: these hitters are so good with mistakes. If you make
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: them in the zone, they're gonna hammer them. And when
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: you don't have, you know, good stuff, it's gonna get
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: hit even harder. And then you have all the injuries.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: So with injuries, you're bringing up lesser players, lesser players
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: who aren't as polished, and guys who are coming from
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: the minor leagues with less experience. They can't command pitches,
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: they try to throw an inside basketball, leaks over the plate, homers.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: So I'm not sold on this whole torpedo thing. I
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: understand the concept of the torpedo bat that I get that.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: I'm wondering why we haven't been doing sooner. If we're
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: looking for competitive edges, if that's your place where you
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: normally hit it. Move the barrel of the bat. There's
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: been never been a rule against that, you know. But
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: like Ken, Griffey Junior used a C two seventy one
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: for his entire career, thirty four inches long, thirty one
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: inches in wait because he that bat is skinny, skinny,
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: skinny long at the end, and that's where he hit.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Most of his balls were from the label to the
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: end of the bat, so that's where all the way
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: eight on his bat was. So it's nothing new. I
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: think we're just seeing a byproduct some really crappy pitching,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: to be honest with you, and.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Just real quick on the bat, Griffy said, by the way,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: because Greg.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Greg Council, the Cubs manager, had the exact same bat,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and he said this to Griffy. He's like, hey, you
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and me at the same bat. And Griffy said, Tom,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: it's not the arrow, it's the Indian counts.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: That was worth you cutting me off. That was a
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: good one.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Damp your world's coll out of New Year's z former team,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the Cubs hosted the Winter Classic at Wrigley You were
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: there for the festivities.
• 19:36

• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Oh man, it was incredible. Fresh off the plane. I
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: was in Vancouver. Took a flight from Vancouver back, got
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: delayed a little bit, so hopping the doors in the
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: in the door for honestly, dude, I was at home
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: with my wife, kids like nine bags Christmas trip and
• 19:50

• 19:53
  Speaker 5: you know, Like I can't wait to get home. I said, Babe,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: I'm out of here. I'm going in the Winter Classical.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: See you later. And I went over. I came into
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: the stadium as the anthem was finishing, and I meet
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: my buddy and we go to a suite. I was
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: sitting with Jamie Faukner and the president of the Blackhawks,
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: and Colin Fucker's, uh, he's the with with us with
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: the Cubs and marketing, and and then you got McCaskey,
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: George McCaskey and his son and Brandon Johnson, the mayor,
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: and it was just packed. You know, there's like secret
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: service in there. And I'm like, this is not I'm
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: not here for this. So me and tj Anerino, my buddy,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: we took four beers and we went up into the scoreboard.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Oh do do.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and we pulled that. Dude, the best seat in
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: the house by far.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: It was I miss that invite.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Sorry, dude, I looked for you, but I was. Yeah,
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: but it was great. It was a little bit troubling
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: when you had to use the bathroom, but hey, that's
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: what defends was for.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I didn't even know.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: So that's like the best seat in the house in
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Wrigley Are there any other little tricks in like secret
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: things about Wrigley Field that the fans or you know
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: that don't know about that, you know, just providing you
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: with some great stories.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like there there really is. Like I said, the
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: scoreboard is unbelievable. Just that, even if you can't go
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: up in the scoreboard, just to go up into the
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: top of the bleachers in center field and take that
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: in is unreal. It's so great. My favorite hiding spot
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: is the right field corner deck area because, like you know,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: as a former cub, when you walk around, I'm not
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: saying I'm famous, but like people recognize me Da Damp.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: You don't pictures and autographs, and that's fine. I love it.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: But like, if I ever just want to get away
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: because everybody's facing the field and nobody's looking back behind.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: You got this great view of everything. You're kind of
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: a level down. Never take the elevator, you're gonna wait
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: too long. Always take the Concourse causeway. There's like a
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: zigzag causeway that goes up. That's way, way better than
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: the bleachers. You can't beat going to the bleachers. It's
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: better than any other bleachers in the big leagues. There's
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: nothing like it. The people are nuts, they're drunk. There
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: might be a wedding, bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, cup snakes.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: You know, it's it's just the best time ever. Man Like,
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: my brother flies down with a bunch of Firefighters's a
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: firefighter Vancouver. They fly down every year and they go
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: and they sit in the left field bleachers. They play
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: the cup game with the dollar bills and the ball
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: and all that stuff. It's it's the best team crank Yeah, no, good. Absolutely.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: We've had so much fun in the bleachers. And I've
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: had fun as a player with those fans that are
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: in the bleachers over the years and have memories, you know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: memories and relationships with those guys. At the last lifetime.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Baseball is a brotherhood for good reason, Damp and clearly
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you see that chemistry with you and Malara on intentional
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: talk and with our buddy Sean Casey and Tho those
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: great years with the Red Sox. I always think of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the great you know, ballplayers and the fact they could
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: pull pranks in each other and just anything goes. What's
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the best prank either you pulled or one are your
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: teammates pulled?
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, good pranks. Yeah, I mean there's the will
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Omen pranks top the top. So I was always a prankster,
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: like you know, whether that was putting a leaner on
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: a guy's door and you know, with what with what
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: in it?
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Though, I was pretty nicelavorable that don't know what's a
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: leaner or or trash.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: Can can't be too tall because you remember, when you're
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: looking at the people, you can kind of see down.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: So you get a trash can you fill it with liquid?
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: You know? It depends right, like, Yeah, some guys, hey listen,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: if they're not if they're not a good guy, you're
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: gonna learn really fast how to be a good guy.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: And uh, I typically was water that was generally my
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: like thing. You know, maybe gatorade you can color it
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: a little bit something like that. You put it against
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: the door of the hotel door and you knock on
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: it real loud, and then you just walk away and
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: then they look out the people and there's nothing there.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: So I'm gonna check it and boom. It's like just
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: to get It's like you just the damn just got unbridge.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: You just hear you all these f bombs start getting dropped,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: and it's just great. You know, it's so fun. Depending
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: I did, I did, yeah, oh yeah, depending what's in there.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: It is the worst I've been. I've been a victim
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: of it too. It's not it's not a good time.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: One of my favorite ones that I that I started
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: to do in guys and it's it's hard work because
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: you know, in hockey you guys have roommates, but in
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: base we had our own rooms, which is awesome, but
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: also I kind of liked that roommate aspect. It's kind
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: of fun. And Todd Simpson, former NHL defenseman, was a
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: good friend of mine and he used to do this
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: thing where he would hide stuff from the room and
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: the guy's luggage so when he got home and be
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: a coffee maker or I you know, like so I
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: started doing that. To do is on on road trips,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: like somebody'd be like, hey, sweet in my suite and
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: on the night before getaway day, and I'd just be
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: stuff stuff in their bags, all kinds of stuff, the Bible,
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: you know, like just whatever it was that was that
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: I could find in the hotel room.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: So we had what we had guys do, and I
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: ended up doing it a little bit halfway through my career.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Is if you got off the bus first, because the
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: rookies would wait, guys would run in and you know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: when you walk into the hotel, there's just a table
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: full of the you know, every guy's room card. Yeah,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: room card is there with their name. So guys would
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: run and they typically every guy had two room cards
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: in there, so they'd run in. We'd run in and
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I'd take a room card. I'd run up to their room.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I'd look at the numbers, so I'd sprint up to
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: the room. Then you go to the bathroom and in
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: the water tank you pull out you pull out the
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: water hose and you just tuck it kind of just
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: inside so it's showing a little bit. So when the
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: guy comes off the long bus ride and goes you know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: takes a leak as soon as he as soon as
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: he goes to flush, just the water sprays all over
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: every time that because no one would know, every dudy
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: would come in and the guys would kind of be
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: like sussing out there, like they're like who who who
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: kind of did it? And they're like hey JD, like

• 27:38
  Speaker 5: network now, but I keep getting called at the HR.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I haven't started trying it yet. But there's a couple

  Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: That is an all time flex by you.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: Dude. That night was I'll tell this story a little
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: bit because I think it's I think it says volumes
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: about ed So I get a text from him and
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: THEO SAI come down the house to Eddie's got he's
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: got his house in Seattle. And then down the street
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: he bought the beach house, just kind of down the
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: street and it's just this nice, beautiful property and it's
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: right on the water. And so I show up and
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: it's and it's him and Woody and uh he works
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: with the league and and then Chris snow former general
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: manager with the assistant general manager with the with the
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Flames and at this time, you know, he's going through
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: the als stuffs hitting him really hard. You know, he's nonverbal.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: He can still walk, you know, harder to move his
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: arms and stuff like this, and and so we're all
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: drinking coronas and it's kind of that you've got a
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: fire going. And then it's like, you know, hey, man,
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: you know you're not gonna believe this, but I got
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: to like he's telling the story. I got to cut
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: some music for the New Stones album you know, like
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Ronnie Wood called me and I'm like, yeah, me too.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: I was busy though, so you know, like uh, and
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: so the sound guy for Pearl Jam works with the
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: Stone they're cutting this album, so he doesn't want to
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: hear a few and we're like, yeah, let's go. So
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: he plays these and then he's like, all right now,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna play this, but you promise you cannot. Let's like,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: do not let this out, you know, don't tape any
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: of them, Like, we're not gonna tape it. And he
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: plays the entire Black Matter the new Pearl Jam album
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: six months before the Pearl Jam album is being released,
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: you know. And I know this for a fact, and
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: it wasn't it didn't need to be said. But the
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: only reason we heard any of that was because he
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: knew that Chris only had so much time left on
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: this earth and that there was a good chance he
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: wasn't gonna hear any of that music. And that, to
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: me is why Eddie is one of these iconic legends,
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame superstars that truly touches other people's lives
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: in a way that we can only image. And you know,
• 30:05

• 30:07
  Speaker 5: you know, and and and I'll finish with this. So

  Speaker 5: we get done at the end of the night, and
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: then THEO and what are you We got to get
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: to Chris back then it's cold out. We can't get him.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: I think he gets sick, you know. We got to
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: get him back to the hotel, you know, so he
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: can't tell us that he doesn't, you know. And he's
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: kind of like looking at me like got it, Like
• 30:25

  Speaker 5: It was kind of like the New Wave deal at
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: the time for getting injured players to be able to
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: And my thing was, I don't want to sit in
• 31:53

• 34:06
  Speaker 1: game with Val Kilmer.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Whatever you got, Harry Carry, Val Kilmore go ahead.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know you know that it's a good question.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: First of all, my condolences to the to the Kilburt
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: family and friends. We lost a legend. You know this
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: guy right here, he was a saint. You know he
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: did he did everything. He brought the heat. You know,
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: this guy like Nolan Riot. He brought the heating. And
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what what a rock star. I mean,
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: I didn't even know. To me when I watched that
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: movie The Doors, I thought it was actually Jim Morrison
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: on Heroin, but it was Val Kilmore. And and to
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: see him come back and and let Tom cruise, No,
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: Maverick that the iceman is the best pilot. And that's
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: a fact Jack. So Val Kilmore rest in peace. Val.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: We love you.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Harry Carry.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Tremendous tremendous Ryan Dempstick see what an intentional talk weeks
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: an that willb network. Hopefully we get some LB tonights
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: together at some point. Best the family is.
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: Always love that you're the best. You got it, dude,
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: all right, thanks so much for Ryan Damps. So obviously
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: all time break too.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Think now Jad's and me to Harry carry presents all
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: day cinefan on sixty it's devastating news. Val Kilmer died
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: late Tuesday at the age of sixty five. I mean,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: this is obviously a very talented actor. I'm not sure
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: if you had a chance to need to watch the
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Valied documentary give it a few years ago. It was
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: amazing to see him later in his life now, just
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: reflecting what he's able to do obviously after his battle
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: with cancer, unable to talk so you know, able to
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: speak through a machine, but reflecting on his life and
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: you know, we get to now pay tribute to an
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: obviously wonderful actor. People are gonna talk about Top Gun
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Maverick and I think the movie and Tom Cruise are
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: very overrated, but that it was a great scene when
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: you see Val Kilmer today and obviously going back with
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Maverick and all this stuff, and obviously the original Top Gun.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: People have a lot of fans of that.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: However, the debate that you and I will have is
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: over what is the best Val Kilmer movie?
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Because for me, it's Heat.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: And before I answer for you, I know you're gonna say, well,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a better movie, it's a better performance.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I'll say both.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I'm saying not only the movie and the performance by
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Val Kilmer, because yes, Dannier and Pacino the show stoppers,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: but Kilmer, he is a valuable supporting part of that movie.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Michael Man's movie is so atmospheric and so beautifully shot,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and of course the score of the bank robbery scene.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: But Kilmer is that hair trigger temper, you know, and
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: he's got one of the great lines of the movie.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Always remember people, Tom Sizemore's line for me, the action
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: is the juice. I think Kilmer's got one of the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: best lines ever felt love. When Daniro asked him early
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: on you got something on the side, he says, yes,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: cheating on his wife. He goesys, she he goes no,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: and he says, what do you think about how things
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: are gonna go? And Kilmer says for me, the sun
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: rises and sets with her all time beautiful line. And
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: later on when he gets denied no boy No by
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Ashley Judge, he gives him the nonverbal eh. The look
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: in his face that is the look of a man
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: whose absolute.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Soul was just crushed. I love Valcimer.
• 36:52

  Speaker 1: time great performance.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, give me your I'm your Huckleberry.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, Doc Holliday. It's one of the greatest performances,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: you know, for him.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: The whole time I thought.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: You were near death, I'd be a hucklebar. A funny
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: quick story about that. So I'm on NHL Network with
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Stu Grimson and we go we're on a late show.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: We're doing NHL Tonight. So it's like the eleven PM
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: we're talking about. It's like eleven or twelve. We're talking
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: about Dallas Stars, and you know where Why Johnson was
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: having a game, and I kind of just went, I
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: just went, I got two. I go why Johnson got
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: two goals? Two guns for the both of you, And
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: he goes, he like perks up, but he looks at
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: me and clearly I didn't know this appened, like one
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: of his favorite movies. He starts quoting throughout the whole show.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: He's quoting Tombstone the whole time. I'm like in tears.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: And then after the show he goes and tell me,
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: do you know the line's not I'm your huckleberry, It's
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: on your huckle bearer. So I go, I go, really,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: it's like, okay, So he goes, I'm your huckle bear
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: because huckle bear is when you were the you were
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: carrying the coffin.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: It's on the coffin. Okay.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: So so now before I'm telling everybody this, now I've
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: told ten people this, okay, So before we come on
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: this show today, I go, we're gonna talk Val Kilmer.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: I got to really make sure is it I'm your
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: huckle bear or I'm your huckleberry. So I look it up,
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: like an asshole, I've told everybody, like ten people.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: I look it up.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: It's always been I'm your huckleberry. Val Kilmer even wrote
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: about it in his book that he quotes the book
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: I'm your Huckleberry.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: So Steve Dempson led me astray, and.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I'm like the asshole run the round, But I love that.
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: Did you hear?
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Did you hear it's I'm your huckle.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: We always had people like the people who have takes
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: a strong conviction.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: You go, no, that's not true. It's one hundred cent.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: You can see as loud as you want or strong
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: as you want. It's not true to but I love.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: People, but I I do believe Doc Holliday.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: The other two close ones is when he plays the
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Sherpa in his cameo and entourage is unbelievable and you
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: can't deny him, as Deeter von Kampf and mcgruber cannot.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: You can't incredible delivery of the name alone.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Dear, let's time to pounce some com Kilmer didn't say officially,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: but I think it's pretty clear that it was heat frame.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Here a quote from Val what she said on his instagram.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Imagine being able to say Alan Bob for the rest
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: of your life. Not many people can do that. I've
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: seen Bob giggling like a schoolgirl in a van in
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night because we have to be
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: quiet because they're filming outside. I've been hugged by al
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Pacino in the middle of downtown Ellie like he was
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: my older brother. I've shot live rounds from high power
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: to assault weapons over Bob's head while rehearsing lines for
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: a film, I got to kiss Ashley Judd. I sometimes
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: lived at Michael Mann's house. I'm in one of the
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: greatest Cops and Robbers films in film history.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: It is absolutely unbelievable. I was in No Hoster. For
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: God's sakes.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm agree in agreement with you. It's one of
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: my favorite movies. It's his best movie. He's been in
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: his best I think his best character was Doc Holliday,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: but I think Heat is. And you know they've now
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: submitted the script for Heat Too. I don't know if
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: you remake that without it. I don't know Tal.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: What do you think Tal coming in for the first time.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I like, he's also a big, real genius guy.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: Go ahead and tell yeah, I do love real genius
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: top secret.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Doors is incredible.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Heat's an all timer for me.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: He's incredible, And I'm like, all I haven't read any
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: of the books, but I intend to. And I'm definitely
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: all in on Heat Too. And I'm you know that
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: whole film is premised on De Niro versus Paccino, and
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: of course those two guys are incredible in it. But
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: I mean Kilmer is sort of like he's that key,
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: key role player on that team, right, great as well,
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: size More, Ashley Judd, even Hank Azaria.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I should have got mixed up with that bitch. Well,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: she's got a Chris and you got your head all
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: the way up it. I love that.
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: I set that up just so you could say that line.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: I appreciate. I love love that. I love Kilmer.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: You know, rest in peace.
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: Incredible, very unique career for a very unique leading man
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: in Hollywood history.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: That's a good call a unique look to him named
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Val Kilbury. He did have a very kind of zigging,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: zagging career. There's there's some bombs along the way. You know,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: he kind of spoiled his talent at times. The Saint
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: was exactly a great film, but even even as Batman,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: he wasn't a quintessential Batman. People always talk about Michael
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Katon or Christian Bale, but he was Batman. Rest in
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: peace to Vl Kilmore. Before we get to Corey Schneider,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: we got to talk with the Sam Rockwell monologue The
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: White Lotus. I don't watch The White Loatus, and everyone's like,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: did you see this Rockwell monologue? I love slam Rockwell,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: like I'm in. It is absolutely unbelievable, him talking about
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: the fact he's now become a Buddhist, but he's just
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: he was basically a sex addict, and we wanted to
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: be able to trans woman.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: My wife's been selling me on it for two and
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: a half seasons, and I said, I'll just jump in.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: You know, I got some time. And first scene I
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: jump in is just an incest scene.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: And then the.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Goggins or the guy. I watched the Goggins monologu, which
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I thought is incredible. I love Sam Rockwell and Walton
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Goggins are two of my favorite actors. I mean Walt
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Goggins and anything he's doing, Vice Principles, all those things.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: I think he's so funny. Sam Rockwell too, is just
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: great and everything he does and plays his characters so well.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: So I love that monologue. But yeah, I came in
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: on the incest scene and I went, oh, yeah, makes sense.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: I said, just right into it, just sex else. But
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: this is what happens when you push the line and
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden incest is normal. And then we're
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: all talking about anyway.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: How about a show GD that you're passionate about a
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: lot of people love it, Severance Ben's Stiller course directing it.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Adam Scott did really well.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: The Emmy's critically acclaimed you really enjoyed season two tow
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: not so much, but go ahead.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I love the It gets you thinking,
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: it makes you think.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: It's very similar to life of a lot of people
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: talking about you going to work, just separated.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: It's people.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: It's just two different people, your work life and your
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: home life. And they really take it to another level.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: Now. I don't know where they're gonna.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Go that passed here with the goats and everything and
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: all that shit, but I thought it was.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: I really enjoyed it. I really like it.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: It's thought provoking and it's it's your thinking of what
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: the hell is going on? And that's kind of more
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: my My style is more of the intelligent shows versus
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: just the sex cells, which is more you guys.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: But hey, hey, I've always loved Turro tell those ever
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: since Barton Fink. How great is to Turu in severs
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: I mean it isn't like a huge homo him and Christopher.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Waher, Oh, him and Christopher walk And when you listen
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: to tu talk about it. He's like, when he did
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: this scene and he had to do these relationships, he said,
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: I can only do it with Christopher walk who was
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: a good friend of mine. He's like, I want to
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: do it with somebody that I'm comfortable with. And I
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: love it. It's so great.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: But is it explicit like I've been saying, no.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: No, no, not at all. No.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: It's like they just that's they tease it the whole time.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: There's like they build an intensity between the both of
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: them the whole time that there's this love story.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: You stop, but.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Tell you know it's an overrated show. I mean nineteen
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: hours of Severance and mean, I got it. There's there's
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: a work life, there's a personal life. Okay, nineteen hours
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: this come on.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: I love the premise.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: The cast is awesome.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: It's a it makes me feel dumb because I'm always
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: confused watching this thing and then the i'll I'll say
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: is this It makes me feel like, do you remember
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: a while back someone taped a banana to the wall
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: and they called it art and someone bought it for
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: like millions of dollars.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's people looking at this.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: Is anyone else just seeing a banana tape to the wall.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: I kind of felt that's.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: Kind of how I felt a little bit watching Severance.
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: It's a quality show, but that's just that's the analogy.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say a great takedown. Go ahead, that
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: is great. It's been ana on the wall. But let's
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: let's switch gears quickly. Talk about the studio. I loved listen, Yes, incredible.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: In the first episode, He's gotta win an Emmy, he
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: was unbelievable.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: They're trying to bankroll a film about kool Aid, and
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: so you know they're willing to give Scarsese towo a
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: million dollars. He'said, well, I was just going to make
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: a movie with a jonestown massacre. And he's like, wait,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: you mean when they drank the kolid He's a yeah,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I will tell you no further, but just
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: to say, Scarcese's unbelievable.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: In the two him crying it's fucked.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: Up, Steve Busumi going oh yeah, is that? He goes,
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: is that scarczy? Are you crying?
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: And he goes if biskem or is at BIESHEMI even
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: started debating how to say his name. It's a lot
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: of inside Hollywood chatterick again. I adored the Larry Sanders shows.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: If you like shows about shows, if you love let's
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: say Tropic Thunder, which is about filmmaking, and you know,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: a movie about movie making, you'll definitely enjoy the studio,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: all right, Corey Stanner. He also can talk Seinfeld and
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: talk about goalies here he is coming up our next guest,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: twenty six overall pick by the Vancouver Canocks two thousand
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: and four NHL Draft. You'd go into play more than
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: four hundred games to the Canuckston Jersey Devils in New
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: York Islanders. Now seen regularly with our friend Jason Dar's
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: NHL network Corey Schneider, I Believe three Straight Shifts and
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: HL Netwick and Joint seeing you guys in NHL now,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: and also has the podcast One Time All Starts with
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Brian Boyle. Schneid's great to see you. Thank you so
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: much for giving us the time. I know you're probably
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: tired of JD at this point, but appreciate the effort.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the hockey. Then we'll get to the
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Gofi LIBP later on. I do want to talk Seinfeld
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: with you. I want to talk to passions your Lambo impression.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Connor Hallibuck Heart Trophy. JD made the case earlier, Koutrovneck
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: get nearly enough Love for the Heart. A lot of
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: conversation McKinnon, drive us out, et cetera. How about you
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: do you think Connor Hallibuck should be the favorite for
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the Heart. I mean, he is the vetting favorite, which
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: surprised me a little bit. But when you think about
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: it and actually kind of take a deep dive, which
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: our researchers did. I don't know that we did, but
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: you know, the last school to win it was Kerry Price,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: so he sort of that's that's the standard you have
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to set if you're gonna win it.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: It's kind of like a.
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: Pitcher winning the MVP and baseball, like you have to
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: hit a certain benchmarker or a certain press. And so,
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: I mean, he's first in every major category, wins, save, percentage,
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: goals against, the advanced analytics, the expected goals against, goals
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: saved above average, like across the board. You know, unanimous
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: number one guy. He might win forty five, forty six games,
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: best team in the league potentially. So you look at
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: that resume and you take the name away or you
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: say that's Carry Price in twenty fifteen or whatever it was,
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: and he'd be like, yeah, I mean, I don't know
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: if Kutrov, Dry Sidle and McKinnon sort of split the
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: vote a little bit where it's like, I can't pick
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: one of these three guys because they've all been so good,
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: but they're also not the levels they were last year
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: when they had one hundred and forty points and they
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: won the MVP. M ckinnon did and Kutrov should have,
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: right JD. So he got rough. So I mean, you
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: could make a compelling argument that you know, Hella Buck
• 46:45
  Speaker 8: is the most viable player in the league, but I don't.
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: For some reason, I was saying, I don't think he
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: gets the buzz that Carry Price did. Like when Carry
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: Price was having that year, it was like, oh my god,
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: look what Kerry Price is doing. He is the Montreal Canadians,
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: and then where would they be without him? And this year,
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: you know, Connor Hellbuck's a huge part of that team,
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: but they're pretty good team otherwise. So I don't know
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: if he's getting the same kind of buzz and love
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: which can go into a can factor and when people vote.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I want I want to shop It was crazy too,
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: because we're on that show and we're both like, no,
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: it's like coot or stry title. And then they started
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: throwing all the stats. We're just mid show. We're like
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: looking at the other We're like, oh, maybe he should
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: win this. Actually this is pretty smart. The eye test
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: sometimes doesn't work. But I want to shift to uh,
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: your alma mater CA, the BC BC College, Boston College.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: I want to hear your thoughts on the Ryan Leonard's
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: performance last night, and then also some other guys that
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: are getting there starts and Gabe Parole of who you're
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: most excited to kind of see and see grow. Because
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: I'm just working with you for three days, let alone
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: two years. I know how closely you watch and how
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: tied in you are with BC.
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought Leonard was okay last night. I mean,
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: your hometown basically is from Massachusetts, played down the road
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: at BC. As you mentioned, playing in the garden in
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: your first game with the veatchkin and all the hypes
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: surrounding him, Like, that's a pretty overwhelming environment. It's almost
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: like jumping into a playoff game. So I mean I
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: thought for his first game he was fine. You know,
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: he didn't do a ton, wasn't as noticeable as you
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: might think. I think this year it's I think you
• 48:14
  Speaker 8: have to temper your expectations for these kids when they're
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: jumping in into a playoff push for you know, whether
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: it's Snugruot in Saint Louis or Perrot in New York
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: or Leonard with Washington, like, you're joining well established teams
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: that are are kind of humming along. So I mean,
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: if anything they can add, it's gravy at this point.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: But I don't know if they're gonna have the impact
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: of like a macar or a Charlie McAvoy or Chris
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: Kreider did when they jumped out of college and basically
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: hop right into the playoffs and didn't miss a beat.
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: So you know, Leonard's a fantastic player. He's more of
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: a playmaker, you know, So I don't know if that
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: takes longer to adjust than just shooting the puck and scoring.
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: But again, you know, it'll take time. It'll take him
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: a few games. And if he can get these eight
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: games in and they find he can be valuable in
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: the playoffs, I think that's that's a good thing for
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: the Capitals. Just to assass and see, I can this
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: kild actually contribute in the playoffs when we need him
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: the most, or does he still need to learn? And
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: he's a bit of a liability, so we got to
• 49:01
  Speaker 8: sort of shelter him or maybe not play him in
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: the playoffs and the games matter the moment, Cory, I want.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: To ask you about, well, we got two options or
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: to to lose. We'll get to lu Ango in a second.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I'll ask you about Lou Lamarello, who treated to bring
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: me to New Jersey now or brought you over to
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: the Islanders. I get to work with Thomas Hickey. He's
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: got great Lou Lamorello stories. I want to hear your
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: take on Lou because he clearly could have been a
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: character in the Sopranos, not.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Just because he's in talent, but also that steely eyed
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: gaze of.
• 49:23
  Speaker 8: His Yeah, Lou's, like you said, he's almost larger than life,
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: even though he's not that big of a guy. You know,
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: he's he's done great things for me. He's treated me
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: incredibly well. You know, Andy Green and I were sort
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: of sitting there doing the math, and Andy said that
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: every contract he signed his whole career was with Lou
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: Lamarillo between the Devils and the Islanders and from Yeah
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: and Me from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty three. I
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: was signed by Lou Lamarillo, so he's always taken care
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: of me and my family. So I always think I'm
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: inna appreciate him for that. You know, he's not for everybody,
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: I'll put it that way. He expects things a certain way,
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: he demands certain things. He's fair, he's honest, but you know,
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: if you don't fall in line or you're not with
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: the program, then and then he's not for you, and
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: you're probably not for him. So you know, I'm sure
• 50:07
  Speaker 8: there's horror stories. I think he's obviously changed with the
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: times since it's not nineteen ninety five anymore. It's twenty
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: twenty five, so you can't do or treat the guys
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: the way you probably could back then. And not that
• 50:17
  Speaker 8: he was unfair, but you know, he was a hard edged,
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: demanding guy, and he was around all the time, even
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: though his general manager. The one thing I've known from
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: him is I've never seen a GM more present than
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: he is. And I think that I don't want to
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: say fear, but that knowing that Luke could be around
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: the corner at any moment. Keeps guys in line a little bit.
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: You know, you walk around on eggshells a little bit
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: because you're like, oh, lou might be listening, or you
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: might hear this if you're sort of complaining or doing
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: what you do as a player. So, like I said,
• 50:39
  Speaker 8: he expects a certain thing, but he's not unfair. He'll
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: tell you exactly what he thinks. And some guys like
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: that because you know where you stand, and other guys
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: don't like that because they don't want to hear the
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: truth sometimes. But yeah, I mean, I know guys who
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: I played with, Scott Gomez and at the end of
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: his career, and he said, when I hit Hackomer, he's like,
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: when I left The Devil's the first time I hated
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: lou Or I was like, I'm done with this guy.
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: And then he left and he's like, man, I didn't
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: realize how much I needed that structure and that discipline
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: in that, you know, because he kind of got left
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: up to his own devices and it didn't go as
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: well for him. So when he came back, he's like,
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: you don't really realize it, but he does. He takes
• 51:10
  Speaker 8: a lot off your plate in terms of distractions and
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: things you got to think about. You just got to
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: focus on hockey. And I think sometimes you don't realize
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: that until you go somewhere else and you're like, man,
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: this is a this is a bit of a bleep
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: show here, like there's no control or rhyme or reason,
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: like you know, I missed that that structure and knowing
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: exactly what to do.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine a the g love You gotta give
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: me your what's your best Scotti gom story you got
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: because he the fact that he was as successful under
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: Lou La Morello probably shows you that it can work
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: having a verbose personality and being around lou.
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: The best story Gohmer told me was when they were
• 51:44
  Speaker 8: actually in the island. They were on the island at
• 51:46
  Speaker 8: NASA playing for the Devils, and the kiss cam was
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: showing the crowd and they showed him and like another
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: guy in the bench. So Gomer was like, oh, I
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: just leaned over and pretend to kiss the guy on
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: the bench, just as a joke, like during the commercial break.
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: And he said, on the way to the bus, like
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: going down the hall, lou started to chasing him down the.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Hall is that.
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: That's the most disrespectful thing I've ever seen, Like, how
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: could you do that to the you're supposed to be
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: playing the game. And Gomer started giving it to him back,
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: like just like screw you, Lou, like I'll do what
• 52:09
  Speaker 8: I want. And then Luke came after him. He just
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: ran him on the bus and like hit on the bus.
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: So they just got like a screaming match, and Goomer
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: just when he started coming at him, just ran and
• 52:16
  Speaker 8: hit on the bus and he's like, you can't get
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: me here. So uh yeah, that's just showing you that
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: personality that sometimes doesn't go so well.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Luke can be Farosa's no question about it.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the other lou then, Roberto Lawongo,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: you'll always be associated with him in Vancouver.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: What do you got on Louis?
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we still stay in touch to this day.
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: We're in a fantasy football league together. He's a he's
• 52:35
  Speaker 8: a maniac with that stuff. He's like my safe, he's
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: like my sage when it comes to fantasy. I'm like, hey,
• 52:40
  Speaker 8: should I take this guy third or fourth? He's like no, no,
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: you want to wait on him? Like okay, cool, but yeah,
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: it's with a bunch of like ex Florida Panthers like
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: Peter Warrel and Rob Niedermeyer and just like the old
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: trainers from the nineties, kick your ass.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Oh he would. That's what I mean.
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: That's why I'm a little nervous in that league. But no,
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: he We've had a good relationship, you know, he's uh.
• 52:59
  Speaker 8: We went out to Vancouver for his Ring of Honor
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: ceremony last year and got to catch up with him
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: and see his family and his kids, who were you know,
• 53:06
  Speaker 8: were like grown people now. But no, we always had
• 53:09
  Speaker 8: a great working relationship. He helped me out so much
• 53:11
  Speaker 8: in my career coming in the league, and you know,
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: I thought I knew how to work hard and how
• 53:15
  Speaker 8: to compete and what it took to be the guy.
• 53:17
  Speaker 8: And then I showed up that first full year in
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: Vancouver and I watched him for like two minutes like, oh,
• 53:21
  Speaker 8: that's that's what that is. So I just kind of
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: followed him around like a puppy dog, and whether he
• 53:26
  Speaker 8: knew it or not, I just watched what he did.
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: I took a lot of little cues and equipment things
• 53:30
  Speaker 8: from him, and you know, he wasn't sitting there just
• 53:33
  Speaker 8: reigning wisdom on me. But if I had a question,
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: he was more than happy to help out an answer.
• 53:36
  Speaker 8: And you know, I know, the whole story in Vancouver
• 53:39
  Speaker 8: got took kind of life of its own. But he
• 53:41
  Speaker 8: and I were always good where we were always cool,
• 53:43
  Speaker 8: We respected each other. Guy's a Hall of Famer now,
• 53:46
  Speaker 8: and you know I was always I would always go
• 53:48
  Speaker 8: to bat for him there standing in his corner because
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: he's a tremendous human And like I said, it's great
• 53:52
  Speaker 8: to see him finally win a Cup with Florida. Maybe
• 53:54
  Speaker 8: not as a player, but uh, you know again, he's
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: always somebody who will who meant a lot to me
• 53:58
  Speaker 8: in my career.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: I was just I heard your huge Seinfeld. Guys.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you, is is the contest the
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: greatest Sininefold episode, which I believe it.
• 54:05
  Speaker 8: Is, Uh you do you know it's I'd have to
• 54:08
  Speaker 8: go back and rewatch a bunch and we had him
• 54:10
  Speaker 8: on like over the over the winter we were up
• 54:12
  Speaker 8: at our cabin. We just kind of throw it on
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: the background and there was something that was so funny,
• 54:16
  Speaker 8: like just ones you forget about that, you just the
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: moments and the scenes. The contest is one of the
• 54:21
  Speaker 8: all time greats. I'm just trying to think of somebout
• 54:24
  Speaker 8: like I still love the one where Costanzo, like his
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: his coworker at the Yankees thinks he's trying to get
• 54:29
  Speaker 8: him fire because he keeps doing things like getting the
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: cards signed without him and he's like, he screwed me again, Costanza,
• 54:34
  Speaker 8: you know, like, well, you know, like I think that
• 54:36
  Speaker 8: one's awesome. Yeah, anything involving Krammer, like the Kenny Rodgers episodes,
• 54:41
  Speaker 8: Terri terrific with the red light.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: In his bedroom.
• 54:44
  Speaker 8: So chicken, yeah, Kenny Rogers chicken broccoli. Yeah, he's all sunburned.
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: So I mean, you know, we could go all day
• 54:54
  Speaker 8: on that. But I am I mean this might be controversial,
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: but I am like so out on Friends, Like I
• 54:58
  Speaker 8: never watch Friends. I just think that I always thought
• 55:02
  Speaker 8: Friends was a less funny version of sein film. It's like, well,
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: it's a bunch of friends in New York City getting
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: together in their day to day shenanigans, and I'm like,
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: Seinfeld just did it better.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna watch Seinfelden shines. This is awesome.
