The Kid Mero joins; Four Nations snubs, Quarter-point surprises, Off-ice potpourri · NHL Unscripted with Virk and Demers

0:04
Speaker 1: NHL Unscripted is a production of the NHL and iHeart podcasts.
0:08
Speaker 2: And this is me knowing limited about where guys are from.
0:12
Speaker 2: I'm so bad with like where guys are from. I'm
0:14
Speaker 2: a child of the world. I'm like, hey, I'm like,
0:17
Speaker 2: we're all from the same place. I honestly don't. I
0:20
Speaker 2: thought Jared Caruson was Canadian.
0:32
Speaker 1: At the beginning of a new journey, it's always exciting
0:35
Speaker 1: that first single step that you take, and we're taking
0:37
Speaker 1: it together with all of you. That's right. It's Verkin
0:39
Speaker 1: de Merz NHL Unscripted. I won the coin flip to
0:42
Speaker 1: have my name first and to talk first. But I'm
0:45
Speaker 1: thrilled to be with Jason Verse. I was bout saying
0:47
Speaker 1: my buddy Jason Mrse but JD, let's be honest, we
0:49
Speaker 1: have never worked together before. I hear great things. I'm
0:52
Speaker 1: a big fan obviously. I know we're colleagues at NHL
0:54
Speaker 1: Network and now colleagues through iHeart and the National Hockey League.
0:58
Speaker 1: But this is a new foray for us both. I
1:00
Speaker 1: think you know we were comfortable with podcasts, we would
1:03
Speaker 1: be comfortable with each other. Let's find up together. Great
1:05
Speaker 1: to see you, my friend.
1:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great to meet you is one. Yeah, it's
1:09
Speaker 2: it's really nice, you know, walking into the makeup room
1:12
Speaker 2: and seeing you know, you kind of see the picture
1:15
Speaker 2: of all the you know, we call ourselves talent there,
1:17
Speaker 2: which is a little funny at the at the MLB network,
1:20
Speaker 2: but seed you on there and and taking my my
1:23
Speaker 2: spot in the makeup chair all the time. It really
1:26
Speaker 2: it's annoyed me a bit so, but it's good to
1:28
Speaker 2: work with you, and it's it's good to meet you.
1:30
Speaker 1: I need a little bit more powder, I think the most,
1:32
Speaker 1: which is why I'm bumping you out of there. But
1:34
Speaker 1: I think this podcast is gonna be a blast man,
1:36
Speaker 1: because honestly, we're both huge hockey fans. Of course, you're
1:39
Speaker 1: a terrific player, played seven hundred games the NHL, and
1:42
Speaker 1: I've been a fan of my whole life.
1:43
Speaker 2: But I think now I do now I know you
1:45
Speaker 2: don't know me if you're saying that.
1:49
Speaker 1: Play I mean virtually a Nora's Trophy Canada every single season.
1:53
Speaker 1: But exactly, well, we're gonna be. We're gonna be running
1:55
Speaker 1: the gamut here, and I think that's what's gonna make
1:56
Speaker 1: things exciting. We're going all over the place right, movies, television,
1:59
Speaker 1: pop culture, wrestling, fashion, just stories from you around the league.
2:03
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be.
2:04
Speaker 2: A blast for listeners, right yeah, I mean, listen, Let's
2:07
Speaker 2: hockey is one thing, and it's great, and it's it's
2:09
Speaker 2: what I do and what I did, but we got
2:12
Speaker 2: I'm more interested in other things. So let's kind of
2:15
Speaker 2: to the fat a little bit. As the as the
2:17
Speaker 2: young kids say, or.
2:18
Speaker 1: The older we'd say, we will be running the gamut today,
2:20
Speaker 1: they're right. And speaking of things that you may not
2:22
Speaker 1: be expecting. The kid Marrow our first ever guest, your
2:24
Speaker 1: first episode NHL in scripted. He has a distinction. It's right, apparently, listen.
2:29
Speaker 1: He wrote for the Spez. He hosted the Sports Emmys,
2:31
Speaker 1: which I will be tonight one, so I got to
2:32
Speaker 1: beat him there. We're gonna have lots of interesting stuff
2:35
Speaker 1: with him, so I look forward to that conversation with him.
2:37
Speaker 1: We'll see how much the kid knows about hockey. But
2:39
Speaker 1: speaking of pucks, let's get into it, man, four nations rosters.
2:42
Speaker 1: Everyone loves this right the day after you start to
2:44
Speaker 1: pick it apart. It reminds you of the Emmys, the Oscars,
2:47
Speaker 1: the Grammys, it's never about who made it, it's who
2:50
Speaker 1: the snub is. So I guess we'll get to that
2:52
Speaker 1: in a second. But first, if you just look at
2:54
Speaker 1: the roster, roll the consensus, I feel like people are saying,
2:58
Speaker 1: and I'm curious, your take is that the USA is
3:00
Speaker 1: the favorite generally speaking, you feel like Canad's favorite because
3:03
Speaker 1: it's hockey. But again, if you look at the roster,
3:05
Speaker 1: do you think the Americans are the favorite going in
3:08
Speaker 1: right now?
3:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I put a little pull on Twitter,
3:11
Speaker 2: but it's so hard to bet against McDavid, Crosby, and
3:15
Speaker 2: McKinnon on their own, But when they're all together, I
3:18
Speaker 2: just have such a hard time. I mean, you could argue,
3:20
Speaker 2: you could argue that they might have America might have
3:23
Speaker 2: the US might have the best roster put together, like
3:25
Speaker 2: depth wise, but you know, Canada's got Connor, Canada's got Crosby,
3:30
Speaker 2: Canad's got mccarr and McKinnon arguably the top four best
3:34
Speaker 2: players in the league. And you know, you could say
3:36
Speaker 2: people can come for me and say, oh, there's a
3:38
Speaker 2: Maats and you know Jack Eichel, But I'm like, those
3:41
Speaker 2: guys are the pinnacle of Canadian hockey, and I mean
3:45
Speaker 2: hockey in the NHL, So it's gonna be tough. The
3:48
Speaker 2: biggest thing for Canada is their goaltending I think is
3:51
Speaker 2: going to be a big question mark. And for the US,
3:53
Speaker 2: I mean it's an embarrassment of riches. But listen, Connor Hellibuck.
3:58
Speaker 2: I love him. He's going to be the starter. You know,
4:00
Speaker 2: he doesn't a trophy winner, but you know in the playoffs,
4:05
Speaker 2: shaky in the playoffs he has not really done much yet.
4:09
Speaker 2: So and this is a small format style, so it's
4:13
Speaker 2: like it's always different when you're in this tournament style
4:15
Speaker 2: where it's really so fast, so quick, you don't have
4:18
Speaker 2: time to build chemistry. You know, I did it at
4:20
Speaker 2: the Olympics, No big deal, drop my Olympics thing. I
4:24
Speaker 2: did it at the Olympics in twenty twenty two. You know,
4:26
Speaker 2: you get five six games and it's so tough to
4:30
Speaker 2: build chemistry. So and it's really tough for coaching staffs,
4:33
Speaker 2: like who do you go with for top minutes? Like
4:35
Speaker 2: if somebody struggles out of the gate, do you stay
4:37
Speaker 2: with him or do you bench him? So like for Hellibuck,
4:40
Speaker 2: we all know, everybody knows since twenty eighteen, they have
4:45
Speaker 2: not won around or one they won run around the
4:47
Speaker 2: Winnipeg Jets in twenty eighteen. He's a big reason why
4:49
Speaker 2: he struggled a little bit. The team struggled. But let's
4:52
Speaker 2: say Game one they get blown out. What do you do.
4:55
Speaker 2: Do you stick with Hellibuck or do you just jump
4:57
Speaker 2: right to Otter or or you know? They again they
5:00
Speaker 2: have swaymen as well. So the goaltending they have is crazy.
5:04
Speaker 2: So does that help you or hurt you? Because do
5:07
Speaker 2: you get kind of a little trigger happy and be like,
5:09
Speaker 2: I want to kind of lean over to these guys
5:11
Speaker 2: in case anybody struggles. We have this but instead of
5:14
Speaker 2: being Hella, Buck's the only guy and you have to
5:17
Speaker 2: ride with him. So it's gonna be interesting to see
5:20
Speaker 2: how that plays out.
5:21
Speaker 1: For me, I'm with you because you have to hit
5:23
Speaker 1: the ground running. There's really not much of a lead
5:25
Speaker 1: up to it. It just comes to the middle of
5:26
Speaker 1: the regular season. Who knows who injuries can impact the
5:28
Speaker 1: rosters from now until then. And you mentioned goaltending. You're
5:31
Speaker 1: right for Canada. I mean for years you'd say to yourself, well,
5:34
Speaker 1: no problem, we've got Patrick Watt or mart Tambora, dur
5:36
Speaker 1: or Kerry Price, and to say Jordan Bennington, Aiden Hill,
5:39
Speaker 1: Sam Montembeau also making the rosh the lone Montreal Canadian.
5:43
Speaker 1: I don't think Sam I am is gonna get much
5:45
Speaker 1: playing time. But you're right, but that's a huge notice.
5:48
Speaker 1: You go, Wow, Bennington's the best Canadian boy right now.
5:51
Speaker 1: I know he's had his moments of course one Stanley Cup,
5:53
Speaker 1: but I'm like that that it just feels like such
5:56
Speaker 1: a luckdown from years past. To be perfectly honest, well
5:59
Speaker 1: we'll go for our.
6:00
Speaker 2: First hot take listen. Bennington and Hill one cups. But
6:05
Speaker 2: they're not the best goalies right now for Canada.
6:07
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, want Cam Talbot on the team.
6:11
Speaker 2: I mean, can Talbot got hurt. I see Cam Talbot
6:13
Speaker 2: was never on there for me, even though he was
6:15
Speaker 2: playing good. I just don't think in the long term
6:17
Speaker 2: he could have kept going. He's a good goalie. But
6:19
Speaker 2: the two best goalies right now for Canadian it's Logan
6:22
Speaker 2: Thompson and DC. He's ten two and one or sorry,
6:26
Speaker 2: ten to one and two this year, fastest goalie in
6:30
Speaker 2: Capitol's history to ten wins. He's been unbelievable and he's
6:33
Speaker 2: a silly Sider he's a little bit he's a little
6:35
Speaker 2: bit different. He's gloves on the other hand, So that's he's,
6:37
Speaker 2: you know, a little bit of a mutant in the
6:39
Speaker 2: goalie world. But then can.
6:41
Speaker 1: You clarify what a silly sider means?
6:43
Speaker 2: Just that's a mic Mike ruffism. He said, silly side.
6:46
Speaker 2: So most goalies are and I gotta get this price,
6:49
Speaker 2: most goalies are glove hand on the left and when
6:53
Speaker 2: your glove hand's on the right Logan Thompson. There's a
6:55
Speaker 2: couple of guys in the league. There's not many silly side.
6:59
Speaker 2: So he's a little bit of a goof he's a
7:00
Speaker 2: goofy foot. But no, he's he's number he's been the best.
7:05
Speaker 2: I thought, that's a huge snub. I know we're not
7:07
Speaker 2: in you know, I'm jumping the gun on the snubs,
7:09
Speaker 2: but why not? This is a I could say what
7:11
Speaker 2: I want now, But Mackenzie Blackwood and Mackenzie Blackwood in
7:15
Speaker 2: San Jose like I like Sam martinbo like a good job,
7:18
Speaker 2: you know, congratulations, But he didn't. He was good for
7:21
Speaker 2: the first, you know, a couple of weeks of the season,
7:24
Speaker 2: and then Montreal struggled as a whole. So I don't
7:27
Speaker 2: really want a guy that's lacking confidence. And also for
7:30
Speaker 2: that third spot. You know, I also teased and I
7:34
Speaker 2: know a lot of people tease having Mark Andre Fleury.
7:36
Speaker 2: There have a guy that's been there, done that. Your
7:39
Speaker 2: third goalie is probably not going to play unless you know,
7:41
Speaker 2: the Ka Chucks run the Canadian goalies and knock both
7:44
Speaker 2: of them out. But other than that, you know you're
7:47
Speaker 2: gonna be You're gonna get through the tournament. It's quick enough,
7:50
Speaker 2: so why not bring a veteran guy that kind of
7:52
Speaker 2: keeps it light in the room and it's been there before.
7:54
Speaker 2: So interesting goalie picks for me for Canada.
7:58
Speaker 1: By the way, Devil's GM Tom Fitzgerald, also part of
8:00
Speaker 1: the TUSCA management team, will appear on the next episode
8:03
Speaker 1: of the NHL at the Rink podcast with their buddies
8:06
Speaker 1: Dan Rosen and Sean Roarch. Just want to mention that
8:08
Speaker 1: as well in terms of the four Nations content you're
8:10
Speaker 1: getting here through the NHL, and iHeart here's the big
8:12
Speaker 1: one that was talking about because I did the game
8:16
Speaker 1: in Monday, the Chicago and Toronto and everyone's talking about
8:19
Speaker 1: Connor Bedard and the fact that Badard is not the
8:22
Speaker 1: same guy he's been so far on the sophomore season,
8:24
Speaker 1: and is he not going to make this four Nations
8:26
Speaker 1: team because the thought process being well, he won the
8:29
Speaker 1: call the season to go. He is supposed to be
8:31
Speaker 1: the next big thing, and you put him on the
8:32
Speaker 1: roster and even if he's not having a great year,
8:34
Speaker 1: he'll gain that value experience for next tournaments and next
8:37
Speaker 1: triments because clearly he's going to be a focal point. Instead,
8:39
Speaker 1: he does not make the team because he has not
8:41
Speaker 1: had a particularly strong season. But do you think this
8:45
Speaker 1: is a legit snub? I think it's the right decision. JD.
8:47
Speaker 1: To me, I'm like, we're trying to win right now.
8:49
Speaker 1: Like I get the fact that hey, in two years,
8:51
Speaker 1: four years, he'll be the dude, but I'm like, we
8:52
Speaker 1: need dudes right now, Like Canda has to win and
8:54
Speaker 1: I don't think and again I'm not putting it all
8:56
Speaker 1: on him. He's on a bad Blackhawks team. I watched
8:57
Speaker 1: him up in center. I love Luke Richardson. He could
8:59
Speaker 1: still play twelve minutes a night for me, but that's
9:02
Speaker 1: a bad Blackhawks team. He's got like nineteen points in
9:04
Speaker 1: twenty four games and a bad team. He is the
9:06
Speaker 1: best player. But has he been great this year? No,
9:08
Speaker 1: of course not so I think it made sense, but
9:10
Speaker 1: I get the fact it's a topic of conversation. To me,
9:13
Speaker 1: that's probably the big one. When people looked at Canada's roster. Wait, no,
9:15
Speaker 1: Connor Bdard, what say you?
9:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the right decision. I don't. I can't.
9:21
Speaker 2: I can't justify Connor Bdard making the Team Canada roster.
9:25
Speaker 2: And listen, he's going to be a star in this league.
9:27
Speaker 2: He he is. He struggled mightily this year and and
9:31
Speaker 2: parts of last year. You know, he had the injury
9:33
Speaker 2: as well last year, So I think just keep him
9:37
Speaker 2: out of this stress. Let him go get a little
9:39
Speaker 2: bit of a rest. Listen, there's other guys that have
9:41
Speaker 2: that have really earned it, you know, Travis Connectney, guys
9:45
Speaker 2: like that that Seth Jarvis that have really stepped up
9:47
Speaker 2: this year. And again it's a small tournament. You know,
9:50
Speaker 2: you're not trying to bring a guy in to give
9:52
Speaker 2: him confidence like you should never. That should never be
9:55
Speaker 2: Team Canada's goal. And I think Team Canada really wants
9:58
Speaker 2: to win this. They want to win everyone. But I
10:00
Speaker 2: feel like sometimes these you know, nation tournaments, the Olympics,
10:05
Speaker 2: you get kind of caught up and trying to be
10:08
Speaker 2: sentimental or please the fans, where it's like, no, we're
10:10
Speaker 2: best team, best players going right now. Obviously they had
10:13
Speaker 2: the early announcements they did, which I wasn't a fan of.
10:16
Speaker 2: I thought it should just be it should just be
10:18
Speaker 2: the roster. Now, you know, them picking five guys at
10:21
Speaker 2: the start, you know, two three months ago.
10:24
Speaker 1: Surprise, you go, McDavid and mccarr's gonna be on the team.
10:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like you know, us picked like McAvoy and
10:30
Speaker 2: it's like McAvoy wasn't playing good. Boston was in shambles
10:34
Speaker 2: at that point, so it's like you really, so he's
10:36
Speaker 2: on the team, so you're so we're good to go,
10:39
Speaker 2: Like you know, you could just do whatever you want
10:40
Speaker 2: and you're on the team. I figured it's like, listen,
10:42
Speaker 2: there's a lot of good players in the NHL, so
10:44
Speaker 2: you got to earn it, just like anything else. Obviously,
10:47
Speaker 2: you got your guys that are gonna be there no
10:48
Speaker 2: matter what, but there's guys that have to earn it.
10:51
Speaker 2: So I think Connor's you know, he's got to be fine.
10:54
Speaker 2: I think he's figured some stuff out and that's The
10:57
Speaker 2: last thing you want for a tournament like this is
10:58
Speaker 2: to bring somebody that's figuring it out and trying to
11:01
Speaker 2: find his game and throw him in the midst of this.
11:03
Speaker 2: It's gonna be nuts in Boston and Montreal. Like the
11:07
Speaker 2: fan base, especially when Canada plays the US, it is
11:10
Speaker 2: going to be crazy. It's gonna be the atmosphere is
11:12
Speaker 2: gonna be so jacked up. So I don't know, if
11:15
Speaker 2: you know, let him go to Hawaii or something and
11:18
Speaker 2: go to Cabo like all the rest of the NHL
11:20
Speaker 2: players do, and you know they don't, you know, they
11:22
Speaker 2: don't have any imagination. They just go to the two
11:24
Speaker 2: of the same places every year and let him enjoy
11:26
Speaker 2: his pinicilados and get ready for the second, you know,
11:30
Speaker 2: the last part of the season for Tim.
11:32
Speaker 1: You say family affair. You mentioned the Kachuk's two sets
11:35
Speaker 1: of brothers and six sets of NHL teammates, So Jack
11:39
Speaker 1: Hughes and Quinn Hughes, Brady Kachuk and Matthew Kachuck. You've
11:43
Speaker 1: also got Chris Crider and Trocheck of the Rangers, Adam
11:46
Speaker 1: Fox previously named the Canucks, Jets, Bruins, Wild and Vegas
11:49
Speaker 1: Golden Knights.
11:50
Speaker 2: All have two players each on the roster.
11:52
Speaker 1: A lot of focus obviously on the fire power of
11:54
Speaker 1: this team, Austin Matthews among whose leading it. But the
11:56
Speaker 1: Wild even they got Matt Boldie and Brock Faber, you know,
11:59
Speaker 1: the Jets, Kyle Connor, Hallibuck, you afore mentioned, what do
12:02
Speaker 1: you make of the fact that you've got a lot
12:03
Speaker 1: of guys You're apparently gonna have chemistry in a tournament.
12:05
Speaker 1: As we've discussed, you have to hit the round running
12:07
Speaker 1: right away.
12:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want chemistry as well. Listen, you want you
12:11
Speaker 2: want identity for your lines. You don't just want, you know,
12:15
Speaker 2: random guys put together. So I think there needs to
12:18
Speaker 2: be a little bit of a earnest effort from the
12:21
Speaker 2: GM staff and the brain trust there to put put
12:24
Speaker 2: a group of guys together that also have played a
12:26
Speaker 2: little bit together. And I think Matt Boldie and Brock
12:29
Speaker 2: Favor might seem surprising to people, but that Minnesota Wild
12:32
Speaker 2: team is the best team in the NHL right now.
12:34
Speaker 2: They're playing so good and those are two big pieces
12:37
Speaker 2: of that. So I think it's it's good. I love
12:39
Speaker 2: seeing that. I mean, I'm so excited to watch the
12:41
Speaker 2: k Chucks play together. I feel like those little two
12:45
Speaker 2: pieces of shit getting together. Apologize, there's the first swear
12:48
Speaker 2: word on the podcast. But getting those two.
12:50
Speaker 1: Together, I think it might might just let it go.
12:53
Speaker 2: Not sure, might let it go. Who knows. Listen, move over,
12:55
Speaker 2: Dan Rose and Sean Rourke, all right, uh but listen.
12:59
Speaker 2: I just think it's it's so fun to see those
13:01
Speaker 2: two play together. And you know, it's gonna be amazing
13:05
Speaker 2: to watch him get up and down the ice and
13:07
Speaker 2: I feel like you have to throw him on the
13:08
Speaker 2: same line or you know, let him pek together. But
13:11
Speaker 2: it's so exciting. You know, I'm sure they're gonna love
13:14
Speaker 2: it playing together. You see how close they are, his
13:16
Speaker 2: brothers and and you know they're best friends. So I
13:19
Speaker 2: just think for them, it's gonna be it's gonna be
13:21
Speaker 2: great for us because they're gonna watching those two. Cause
13:25
Speaker 2: of Ruckus in front of the night at a whistle
13:27
Speaker 2: is gonna be. It's gonna be must see TV.
13:29
Speaker 1: And speaking of Cosy of Ruckus, very famously, what was
13:32
Speaker 1: it ninety eight Nagana when when the USA team did
13:34
Speaker 1: not do well and their dad, Keith Kachuk among those
13:37
Speaker 1: who caused a little bit of mayhem I believe in
13:38
Speaker 1: the hotel afterwards. So listen, h like father, like son,
13:42
Speaker 1: that they're like father. Yeah, this on the ice, Rothius
13:45
Speaker 1: are fired up. You mentioned Minnesota. I want to quickly mention,
13:47
Speaker 1: speaking of Sweden's roster forward Joel Erickson, Eck Jonas Brodein
13:51
Speaker 1: and Philip Gustafson among the seventeen players named to fill
13:54
Speaker 1: out Sweden's roster. So the Minnesota whild being featured everywhere.
13:57
Speaker 1: That team's got Phil Forsburg, Willie Nilander, I know you
13:59
Speaker 1: love slick Willy Meek has a beinished by Victor headman
14:02
Speaker 1: Eric Carlson. So they got their good players. Is there?
14:05
Speaker 1: And as far as notable stumps for USA, again, like
14:08
Speaker 1: I said, some of those guys, I'm not sure about
14:09
Speaker 1: Crowder making it out of the likes of Tage Thompson,
14:11
Speaker 1: Cole Coffield. I love with the haves. Jason Robertson's a sniper.
14:14
Speaker 1: But you can make a case for those guys.
14:16
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, listen, it's a little it's tough. I
14:20
Speaker 2: think Tage Thompson is one where I was thinking about it.
14:24
Speaker 2: I'm also you know, if you look at the Sweden roster,
14:26
Speaker 2: I mean Mika's advantage at hasn't hasn't stopped once this season.
14:31
Speaker 2: He just it's a flyby everywhere and I don't think
14:33
Speaker 2: he's he's stopped anywhere net front or dezoned. So and
14:37
Speaker 2: he's not tournament he's not. Yeah, I mean, he's not
14:41
Speaker 2: gonna be backchecking. So but it's just hopefully he this
14:44
Speaker 2: sparks him a little bit for the Rangers. But he
14:46
Speaker 2: hasn't been great and I'm sure he knows that. But yeah,
14:48
Speaker 2: Tage Thompson would have been a nice one to see
14:50
Speaker 2: a big body can shoot it. But that's so tough.
14:54
Speaker 2: You know. You're also gotta think of like the coaching
14:56
Speaker 2: staff that's there, who do they like. They're also have
15:00
Speaker 2: an input, you know, they might not like his styles.
15:04
Speaker 2: So it's really becomes you look at you know, Canada
15:07
Speaker 2: with Cooper, like there's there's a couple of guys from
15:09
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Lightning. You know, you got Cirelli and
15:11
Speaker 2: you got Hegel and they've been great, you know, But
15:14
Speaker 2: I that's also from his understanding of knowing how they play,
15:17
Speaker 2: and that's going to help the team, I think, because
15:20
Speaker 2: for a short form tournament, you want the guys to gel.
15:22
Speaker 2: The quickest together.
15:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, three lightning players and that team. You can joke
15:26
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, they're just hanging with mister Cooper, but
15:28
Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, makes sense that he would pick guys
15:30
Speaker 1: who he has chemistry with. And as far as the
15:32
Speaker 1: Finns are one of your classic shows, well as far
15:35
Speaker 1: as feeling is concerned, Patrick Loney finally made his debut
15:37
Speaker 1: for the Habs. Got a great reception there. There's nothing
15:40
Speaker 1: better than watching game of the bell Center. He was
15:41
Speaker 1: able to at least performance since they had that lower
15:44
Speaker 1: body injury in the preseason. But his debut with the
15:46
Speaker 1: Habs on Tuesday.
15:47
Speaker 2: His his acl was in the tenth row. It seemed
15:50
Speaker 2: like it. I think I cannot believe credit his ligaments
15:54
Speaker 2: or his bones because I cannot believe he didn't tear something.
15:57
Speaker 2: And it was it was a slower you know, it
15:59
Speaker 2: was a lot less time than we thought. I thought
16:01
Speaker 2: he was done for the season. So but man, I
16:05
Speaker 2: listened to somebody talk the other day. They were like,
16:08
Speaker 2: it's the same aura that like Alexei Kovalev had when
16:12
Speaker 2: he was there. And I remember Covilev. You know, I
16:13
Speaker 2: grew up in Montreal. I've been and went to the
16:15
Speaker 2: Habs games forever. You know, I booed with all the
16:18
Speaker 2: other fans anytime they had a bad game, and you know,
16:22
Speaker 2: cheered when they won. So but yeah, he's just got
16:25
Speaker 2: It's weird. It's like when when the Canadians fans, the
16:28
Speaker 2: Montreal people take to a player and he even he's like,
16:32
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell's going on. He's like,
16:33
Speaker 2: these people love me, and he's probably at home, like,
16:35
Speaker 2: what did I even do? I'm wearing pajama pants, you know,
16:39
Speaker 2: as my at my opening day taking a picture and
16:41
Speaker 2: you know, maybe that's why he just he's real to
16:44
Speaker 2: them and they like that. He's kind of been, you know,
16:48
Speaker 2: very candid with all the fan base there, and obviously
16:51
Speaker 2: they love a high skilled player that you know, can
16:56
Speaker 2: shoot the puck like he does. You know, they have Coffield,
16:59
Speaker 2: they have him, but it's just crazy how they've taken
17:01
Speaker 2: to him. And I mean that's only going to help him.
17:03
Speaker 2: I think he's a guy that needs calm fidence and
17:05
Speaker 2: you see him in that game, how happy he is
17:07
Speaker 2: to play there and wants to be there. And that's
17:08
Speaker 2: the beauty about the Montstrucknan fan base. You know, they
17:12
Speaker 2: it's a it's a blessing and a curse. It's the
17:14
Speaker 2: best place to play if you're winning, and if you're losing,
17:16
Speaker 2: I mean you're gonna get yelled at in the street
17:18
Speaker 2: at the grocery store to you know, chip the puck
17:21
Speaker 2: out or not not let goals in and things like that.
17:23
Speaker 2: So I just feel like it's a cool it's a
17:26
Speaker 2: cool moment for him and somebody that's struggled and and
17:29
Speaker 2: kind of been, you know, in some bad dark places.
17:32
Speaker 2: He's I mean, he's looking like he's loving life right now.
17:35
Speaker 1: JD. I like the fact you were giving like really
17:37
Speaker 1: thoughtful analysis.
17:38
Speaker 2: Well we're rambling.
17:40
Speaker 3: We just cut off.
17:41
Speaker 1: So we just want pointed analysis, critical mean spirit if
17:45
Speaker 1: need be top five, biggest snub so I don't I
17:47
Speaker 1: think you. I agree, But Dart is not a snub
17:49
Speaker 1: because you shouldn't have made the team. But he is
17:51
Speaker 1: a snub because people were talking about but whatever you want,
17:53
Speaker 1: he's not the top five. It's not a snub. Okay,
17:56
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna say Cole Cawfield is a snub. How's that?
17:59
Speaker 2: You're nuts?
18:00
Speaker 4: No?
18:00
Speaker 2: I ah, now I didn't. Yeah, I don't believe that.
18:05
Speaker 1: Thompson the snub all right, Number one Thompson.
18:09
Speaker 2: I'm also gonna I'm gonna go because obviously McAvoy was
18:13
Speaker 2: picked early. I was gonna say, John Carlson. I think
18:16
Speaker 2: John Carlson not getting consideration.
18:19
Speaker 1: Our buddy, our buddy, you know, Joe, Gabby all over.
18:21
Speaker 1: John Carlson loves with the Caps. He says, lead the
18:24
Speaker 1: team in ice time every night.
18:25
Speaker 3: He goes.
18:25
Speaker 1: Carlson's actually good pick.
18:26
Speaker 2: I'm with you them. Yeah, that's a that's a Catherine tapping.
18:29
Speaker 2: I gotta give her a shout out because they posted it.
18:32
Speaker 2: She posted our little group chat. I was like, oh yeah,
18:35
Speaker 2: John Carlson, you don't need John Carlson. Off Cale mccarr's there.
18:38
Speaker 2: I just forgot for a second that he's that he's
18:41
Speaker 2: not Canadian. That's just traveling, you know. Fifteen days of monsage,
18:46
Speaker 2: just like who's who's not making it be yet? John Carlson,
18:49
Speaker 2: I think is one that should have been considered.
18:51
Speaker 1: All right, So Tage Thompson, John Carlson, can I throw
18:54
Speaker 1: Owen tip atatcha who else we got?
18:56
Speaker 2: Come on, give me another snub Logan Thompson. Logan Logan
18:59
Speaker 2: Thompson getting snubbed is a big one on the goaltending
19:02
Speaker 2: do it and I'm listen. The other one I was
19:05
Speaker 2: going to say is on the Swedish roster is Willy
19:08
Speaker 2: Ecklund from San Jose Sharks, you know, and this is
19:10
Speaker 2: me being a home run the same.
19:12
Speaker 1: That feels like, Yeah, I mean, but I see him
19:14
Speaker 1: every night. I see him every night. I thought you,
19:16
Speaker 1: I thought you'd go Ohel, Oliver Ekman, Larson.
19:19
Speaker 3: He was.
19:19
Speaker 2: I have to because he's my buddy. But you know
19:21
Speaker 2: that that Swedish roster on the back end is pretty stacked.
19:26
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not a fan of Eric Carlson like
19:29
Speaker 2: overall as a player, but for this kind of tournament,
19:32
Speaker 2: he's he's perfect, and you know he's going to be
19:35
Speaker 2: a good I don't know if he's going to be
19:36
Speaker 2: the seventh or the sixth, but I mean, I think
19:38
Speaker 2: Oel winning a cup. The way he's kind of adapted
19:41
Speaker 2: his game, he could play anywhere you need. Yeah, he'd
19:44
Speaker 2: be one for me as well.
19:45
Speaker 1: All right, So I've got your five is Tage Thompson,
19:47
Speaker 1: John Carlson, Logan Thompson, Willy Eckland, one more to go,
19:50
Speaker 1: Steven stamcoach John Tavares. The only other guy.
19:54
Speaker 2: I mean the finish roster. They're dead in the water.
19:59
Speaker 2: I don't even they they can't even field enough Defenseman.
20:04
Speaker 1: There's nine finished defense from answer maybe ten. You're right
20:07
Speaker 1: about that. I believe there's ten they got Like, we
20:09
Speaker 1: gotta get these guys in what.
20:11
Speaker 2: I'm going I'm going to get my finished passport tomorrow.
20:14
Speaker 2: If the Finland Finland Ambassadors there, If you can give
20:17
Speaker 2: me my finish passport, I will play for your team.
20:19
Speaker 2: Because Yanni Hackinpa.
20:21
Speaker 1: Well, Jason Demurz's name be if he was finished, I
20:23
Speaker 1: want people to love this know and social. How could
20:25
Speaker 1: we get him in there as memory team Feah, you
20:27
Speaker 1: have to pick one of these fins as a snop.
20:28
Speaker 1: This is your five My rules, Yes, Sperry Koka, Nami,
20:31
Speaker 1: Mattias Masselli, Yanni hockenba Oli Mata or Yonis Corposolo.
20:36
Speaker 2: I mean Mitchelli because it's another Homer pick. I think
20:39
Speaker 2: Mattias Mitchelli is a fantastic hockey player. I think he's
20:42
Speaker 2: kind of hidden in Utah. But you know that would
20:44
Speaker 2: be Mattias Mitchelli. Yeah, I love it.
20:46
Speaker 1: Jason Demurs's top five snubs Tae Thompson, John Carlston, Logan Thompson,
20:50
Speaker 1: Willie Ecklin, and my Man Mattiss Michelli.
20:52
Speaker 2: And this is me knowing limited about where guys are from.
20:56
Speaker 2: I'm so bad with like where guys are from. I'm
20:58
Speaker 2: a child of the world. I'm like, hey, I'm like,
21:01
Speaker 2: we're all from the same place, and everybody's like, you know,
21:03
Speaker 2: I don't even know who's from Canada half the time.
21:06
Speaker 2: I just I honestly don't. I thought Jared Carleson was
21:10
Speaker 2: Canadian for a second, just because I you know, it
21:12
Speaker 2: is what it is.
21:13
Speaker 1: I think you should have run with that, just like
21:15
Speaker 1: him and maccar together be great. He's not kidding, No,
21:16
Speaker 1: I'm saying if he was Canadian.
21:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, just oh you should. You should have seen our chat,
21:20
Speaker 2: you know, were our producers on the chat were just like, uh,
21:24
Speaker 2: John Carrelson's American. I'm like, oh yeah, so let me
21:26
Speaker 2: do this again. No, I don't think John Carlson should
21:29
Speaker 2: be I'm like, oh yeah him for McAvoy. Yeah, I
21:34
Speaker 2: can walk it back easily.
21:36
Speaker 1: That's our thoughts fodations. When we come back, we're going
21:39
Speaker 1: to discuss what's happened so far on the NHL the
21:41
Speaker 1: quarter pole mark of the season, surprises, disappointments and so on. Plus,
21:45
Speaker 1: as Jad mentioned, because he was born and raised in Montreal,
21:48
Speaker 1: I wanted to do the teas in French, so I
21:50
Speaker 1: just do the teas in English. Still to come here
21:52
Speaker 1: in NHL unscripted, we're gonna discuss the surprises and disappointments
21:55
Speaker 1: of the NHL so far at the quarter pole mark
21:57
Speaker 1: the season. Now you do it all front set.
21:59
Speaker 2: Oh, you can't put me on the spot in French.
22:01
Speaker 1: Come on, you must be bilingual from what you grew up.
22:03
Speaker 2: The ken's in that. What would be with the call?
22:10
Speaker 2: I don't even know call point of the season. You can't.
22:12
Speaker 1: Hey, you can't tell me.
22:14
Speaker 2: I'm living in the States. Tell me to go speak
22:16
Speaker 2: fluent French. Off the cuff, verba.
22:19
Speaker 1: Great and quarter quarter pole mark? You nail it? Give
22:21
Speaker 1: me quarter pole mark again?
22:22
Speaker 2: No quarter pole mark. I have no idea in French.
22:27
Speaker 2: I don't know that the vates sang mag's this. I
22:31
Speaker 2: thought it's a quebecue. Hey, unscripted, Hey lis Angela, Yeah,
22:46
Speaker 2: I just looked up in French what it's quarter pole
22:49
Speaker 2: and it's sondagel and there's no chance in hell I
22:54
Speaker 2: would ever got that. I don't care who is out there.
22:58
Speaker 2: You can revoke my Quebec City card. It is fine.
23:01
Speaker 1: Uh, but yes, give me one more time.
23:04
Speaker 5: So Priel, there's somebody listening going, yeahright, gimmick.
23:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are Kleb So I love you.
23:19
Speaker 1: I love what Kelly said, all right, and disappointments. I
23:22
Speaker 1: look at the Eastern Conference right now. To me, I'm
23:25
Speaker 1: astound of the fact that the Washington Capitals and the
23:28
Speaker 1: New Devils. I mean that the thirty six points each.
23:30
Speaker 1: Jad Capital's probably a little bit more for me because
23:32
Speaker 1: I would have said to myself a year ago, they're
23:34
Speaker 1: going to battle for the playoffs. Ovechkin will get to
23:36
Speaker 1: Gretzky's record, but he's gonna limp to the finish, right,
23:39
Speaker 1: He'll get a bunch of power play time. Twenty twenty
23:41
Speaker 1: five goals. No, the guy who was a house on
23:42
Speaker 1: fire was on pace for fifty five almost sixty goals,
23:45
Speaker 1: second best goal pace of his career. And the Capitals
23:47
Speaker 1: collectively of a great team. I did not expect them
23:49
Speaker 1: a top the Eastern Conference. To me, that's the biggest
23:51
Speaker 1: surprise right now.
23:53
Speaker 2: The biggest surprise is he's skating two weeks after he
23:56
Speaker 2: busted his leg. The guy's got he's on some kind
23:59
Speaker 2: of Russian gas. But no, my uh, my big surprise
24:04
Speaker 2: West would be Minnesota Wild. You know, I didn't think
24:07
Speaker 2: that team would put this together that fast. I mean, listen,
24:10
Speaker 2: they got to they have some great youth, but they've
24:13
Speaker 2: just been incredible. I mean, gust Of sin in the
24:16
Speaker 2: in net, you know, arguably having a Vesna like year,
24:19
Speaker 2: and and Caprisov, who is going to be getting that
24:23
Speaker 2: bag now because he is worth every penny. And if
24:27
Speaker 2: I'm Billy g Billy garrant, it's a Billy guarantee that
24:30
Speaker 2: you're paying him as much money as he wants to
24:33
Speaker 2: keep him there. So I think I think it's it's
24:36
Speaker 2: a definite. That's a big surprise. And then you said Jersey.
24:40
Speaker 2: I wasn't Jersey. I had him, I had him back
24:44
Speaker 2: at the network early in the season. Yeah, I'm dropping
24:46
Speaker 2: the network as wells I work everywhere, and like I
24:49
Speaker 2: had them at the top of the league, So I
24:50
Speaker 2: had the Devils at the top of the league. So
24:52
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised the Capitals, I'll agree with you. Yeah,
24:55
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm surprised but again, moves that we thought
25:00
Speaker 2: were going to be junk that you know, thought they
25:02
Speaker 2: were rebuilding that is working out up great, which it
25:05
Speaker 2: just shows that we know absolutely nothing.
25:07
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't mean that you're a smart gut obviously,
25:09
Speaker 1: capriceaff right now the leader for the Heart. I mean
25:12
Speaker 1: everyone knows he's a talented player. But that's impressive that
25:14
Speaker 1: right now the Wild are the best team in hockey
25:16
Speaker 1: at least by points. Back to the East because you
25:18
Speaker 1: mentioned you thought the Devils would be good, so we
25:20
Speaker 1: got Caps, Devils, Leafs, Hurricanes, Panthers, no surprises there. The
25:24
Speaker 1: Bruins a disappointment until they bring Joe Sacho and all
25:27
Speaker 1: of a sudden he's turned things around where Monty could not.
25:30
Speaker 1: So they're better now. They're don't look at Bruins hockey.
25:32
Speaker 1: And then it gets to the disappointments. You got the
25:34
Speaker 1: Rangers right now, barely a point above average per team.
25:37
Speaker 1: They're twenty seven points twenty four games, the Flyers are
25:40
Speaker 1: tied with them. Then you go Lightning, Pittsburgh. I would
25:42
Speaker 1: include Pittsburgh JD although they've now won four straight games,
25:45
Speaker 1: and to me that would have been an easy biggest disappointment.
25:47
Speaker 1: But they're playing better hockey right now. So I'll ask
25:50
Speaker 1: you Penguins are Rangers bigger disappointment in the East?
25:54
Speaker 2: Rangers. I just think Pitt, you can't keep rolling out
25:57
Speaker 2: the same thing and expecting a different you know something.
26:00
Speaker 2: They have no goaltending. They just not that these guys
26:02
Speaker 2: are bad. They're just a lot of injury and it's
26:05
Speaker 2: just been topsy turvy. And they also don't play defense.
26:07
Speaker 2: But for me, it's the Rangers all day. I think
26:11
Speaker 2: you talk about a team that they go and lose
26:13
Speaker 2: to Florida, they get out class in the playoffs, they
26:16
Speaker 2: come back, they don't really change anything other than getting
26:18
Speaker 2: rid of Barklay Goudron, freeing up some money. They don't
26:21
Speaker 2: really do anything. They expect everybody to take a step forward.
26:24
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen, and now everybody's staring at themselves being like, wow,
26:27
Speaker 2: we have such a great team, and it's like, yeah,
26:29
Speaker 2: you have good players, but you didn't really move the
26:34
Speaker 2: needle in the offseason to address the needs, which was
26:37
Speaker 2: grit which is huge, and just shoring up the back end.
26:41
Speaker 2: I think they're back in has some holes, you know.
26:44
Speaker 2: I love listens he battles hard. Ryan Lindgren battles hard,
26:48
Speaker 2: but asking him to play top two minutes early in
26:51
Speaker 2: the season and even you know at times now that's
26:53
Speaker 2: asking him too much. He's a good third pairing guy,
26:56
Speaker 2: so they really expected a lot of Candre Miller, but
26:59
Speaker 2: Cawndre just hasn't taken that step. So but I look
27:02
Speaker 2: behind the bench and I look up top. I think
27:04
Speaker 2: there's needs to be I think Peter Love let hot seed.
27:09
Speaker 1: For me.
27:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, it's hot seed. I listen. Lavvy is great,
27:13
Speaker 2: fantastic coach. Hear great things about him, but I feel
27:16
Speaker 2: like sometimes he does this a lot of places. You know,
27:19
Speaker 2: two three years he comes hot out of the gate
27:21
Speaker 2: and then the message kind of gets watered down a
27:23
Speaker 2: little bit. So I think he's on the hot seat.
27:25
Speaker 2: He needs to change something. I think he needs to
27:28
Speaker 2: either throw some chairs at somebody or you know, take
27:32
Speaker 2: away ice time. That's the only weapon you have as
27:34
Speaker 2: a coach, is ice tyme. So I really do think
27:37
Speaker 2: for me, he's on the hot seat. I mean you
27:38
Speaker 2: look at the NHL now, I mean you have Jim
27:41
Speaker 2: Montgomery's getting fired after having like two of the best
27:44
Speaker 2: seasons statistically, so like nothing. So then I look at
27:48
Speaker 2: other teams that are struggling, and I'm like, I mean,
27:52
Speaker 2: everything's nothing's off the table anymore.
27:54
Speaker 1: So do you think that, Chris Drury, Because I'm with you,
27:57
Speaker 1: I think the Rangers have to do something major on
27:59
Speaker 1: the verge of a shakeup, whether or not that's Lavvy
28:00
Speaker 1: or move What about moving at Chris Quider? Is that insane?
28:03
Speaker 1: I've heard some about that.
28:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that.
28:08
Speaker 1: Well.
28:08
Speaker 2: Number one, you get your house in order, like anytime
28:11
Speaker 2: there's a leak, and I know, I understand it's it's
28:13
Speaker 2: good for TV, but leak in Jacob Truba early in
28:18
Speaker 2: the season that you want to trade him? He's your captain.
28:21
Speaker 3: AD.
28:22
Speaker 2: Then how does he go in the room and yell
28:24
Speaker 2: at you know, za bandage Ad who you know hasn't
28:27
Speaker 2: really given us a great shift this year. And listen,
28:30
Speaker 2: Meek is a great player. Not an indictment on him
28:32
Speaker 2: as a as a player a person, but he hasn't
28:34
Speaker 2: had a good year. It's it's easy, we could see it.
28:37
Speaker 2: But how does he go and yell at him? You
28:39
Speaker 2: know he's gonna yell at hey, me could pick it up.
28:40
Speaker 2: Me's a big You're you're gone, And you know at
28:44
Speaker 2: the trade deadline, you know, if it's possible. So so
28:47
Speaker 2: I do think that it's just that was mismanaged. But
28:51
Speaker 2: I don't think getting rid of a Crider is going
28:53
Speaker 2: to solve anything. He's one of your big bodies that
28:56
Speaker 2: goes to the net, you know. I for me, it's
28:58
Speaker 2: a coppo cacko. You got to give away somebody of
29:01
Speaker 2: youth that's going to get you something back, so that
29:04
Speaker 2: that would be for me and throwing Ryan Lindgren in
29:07
Speaker 2: the mix with that as well.
29:09
Speaker 1: So the last you mentioned, I agree with the Minnesota
29:11
Speaker 1: is a pleasant surprise. Other than that, yeah, Vegas is great,
29:14
Speaker 1: Winnipick is great. I don't think we expected Winnipick be
29:16
Speaker 1: that great out of the game. But they've you.
29:17
Speaker 2: Know, struggled. They've struggled.
29:19
Speaker 1: Now they've they came back eighteen and eight now after
29:21
Speaker 1: a seventeen and one start.
29:23
Speaker 2: Well can you just think of those numbers I was
29:25
Speaker 2: looking at last night. They were started the year fifty
29:28
Speaker 2: to know and they are not first in the West.
29:31
Speaker 2: That's how good Minnesota has been. They're not even first
29:34
Speaker 2: in the West. They started fifty to know and they've
29:36
Speaker 2: struggled recently. Really, they can't find their game. I think
29:39
Speaker 2: they need to move on the back end as well.
29:41
Speaker 2: I think they really caught you know, I'm always a
29:44
Speaker 2: fan of off the start at the start of the season.
29:46
Speaker 2: The teams that the most details are always the best
29:49
Speaker 2: coming out of the gate, and they're a very detail
29:51
Speaker 2: oriented team new coach and Scott o'neils, So they threw
29:54
Speaker 2: some wrinkles at teams. I think people didn't know, but
29:57
Speaker 2: now I think they need to. They're they've covered up
30:00
Speaker 2: their issues, and their issue, I think is depth on
30:02
Speaker 2: the back end. And then obviously either goaltending down the stretch,
30:06
Speaker 2: it's just gonna be what can Hella Buck do come
30:09
Speaker 2: playoff time?
30:10
Speaker 1: And that's why I was thinking earlier in the year
30:12
Speaker 1: and they had that incredible start, I'm like, hey, rest
30:14
Speaker 1: him a little bit, right, Like, I know he's a workhorse,
30:16
Speaker 1: but like, ease up a little bit, because, as you said,
30:18
Speaker 1: everyone knows he's not hell on wheels come playoff time.
30:20
Speaker 1: But now we have to come back.
30:22
Speaker 2: To he's not Hella Buck on wheels. He's the kind
30:26
Speaker 2: of thing trying to throw a pun in there. I like,
30:29
Speaker 2: I didn't know you could do that. This is we're
30:31
Speaker 2: learning so many things about each other.
30:33
Speaker 1: Most disappointing teams. I'm gonna go either Colorado at twenty
30:37
Speaker 1: eight points through twenty six games out their middle of
30:38
Speaker 1: the pack, because you go Minnesota, Vegas, Winnipeg, La, Dallas, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton,
30:43
Speaker 1: the three Canadian teams lumped together, and then you got
30:45
Speaker 1: the Avalanche or I think another easy pick would be
30:48
Speaker 1: the Predators, who have the second lowest point. Barry Trots
30:51
Speaker 1: is getting crushed right now. When I've looked at the
30:52
Speaker 1: pread Shady, I say, that's a slow team like that.
30:55
Speaker 1: They don't have much foot speed. They're veteran Layden yet,
30:59
Speaker 1: so they don't have much youth going for them. Like
31:00
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of disappointment there. For me, Nash
31:03
Speaker 1: will be the biggest disapoint I don't think it's it's
31:05
Speaker 1: too late necessarily, because again there's so much parry right
31:07
Speaker 1: now in the NHL, but the Avalanche would have expected
31:10
Speaker 1: more of But the Prads, I don't even know how
31:11
Speaker 1: you fix that. You're Barry Trotz right now.
31:13
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the Avalanche, for they were just so banged
31:16
Speaker 2: up to start the year and they have so many injuries,
31:18
Speaker 2: and obviously Nishushkin we know all the details with that,
31:21
Speaker 2: so yeah, you know, they lost a lot of big
31:23
Speaker 2: horses that it kind of hurt him. I think they're
31:25
Speaker 2: gonna be fine. I mean, Nashville, it's crazy. I mean,
31:28
Speaker 2: that's just you know, when we looked at the we
31:30
Speaker 2: looked at the money being spent, and we're like, they're
31:32
Speaker 2: bringing in some big names, you know stam Cos Marciusso
31:35
Speaker 2: Brady Shay. But what ended up happening is we didn't
31:38
Speaker 2: really look at it deep enough where it's like they
31:40
Speaker 2: brought in a lot of the same player. They didn't
31:42
Speaker 2: really They got rid of a lot of their character
31:45
Speaker 2: and they brought in you know, Marciussa and Stamko's similar
31:48
Speaker 2: player in the sense of their shooter. First, you know,
31:51
Speaker 2: Marshal is probably a little bit harder than Stammer, but
31:53
Speaker 2: two guys that are kind of the same. And then
31:55
Speaker 2: you look at Brady Shaye. That's a guy that wants
31:57
Speaker 2: to lug the puck like Romanosi. And then they just
32:00
Speaker 2: kept trying to force feed Romanosi and Brady Shaye together,
32:02
Speaker 2: which I did not understand for the life of me.
32:05
Speaker 2: You can't put two guys that want to hold onto
32:08
Speaker 2: the puck all game together because there's just there's only
32:11
Speaker 2: one puck out there. They can't fight over it. So
32:13
Speaker 2: I thought they had to utilize their depth more and
32:15
Speaker 2: then listen, they for some reason, Dante Fabreau fell out
32:20
Speaker 2: of the he drew the ire of the coaching staff.
32:24
Speaker 2: But he goes to Columbus. He's got six eight points
32:28
Speaker 2: and ten games like he's on fire. So it's like
32:31
Speaker 2: they just made a lot of mistakes that I don't
32:33
Speaker 2: think they thought we we all thought they would do.
32:37
Speaker 2: But you know, and obviously Barry Trot's God love him.
32:39
Speaker 2: He gives the media, he gives us all us rats,
32:43
Speaker 2: all the you know, all the cheese we can eat
32:44
Speaker 2: with with good quotes. But I mean he needs to,
32:48
Speaker 2: you know, stop getting into the media and talking. Just
32:50
Speaker 2: just go take care of the team and make sure
32:53
Speaker 2: that everything's make another trader or do something. But they're dead.
32:58
Speaker 1: They're dead in the wall. Ill's done. You called him
33:01
Speaker 1: do away right now. There's a stat in the listen.
33:04
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a stat space guy as well, like no
33:07
Speaker 2: team that started zero to five is since two thousand
33:10
Speaker 2: and five two and six has made the playoffs. Wow, yeah, OK,
33:13
Speaker 2: so they would be the first. So they would be historic,
33:17
Speaker 2: just like this podcast History. It's like this.
33:19
Speaker 1: Podcast Historic BOK and it jells me. I like that
33:21
Speaker 1: The Predators and HLN scripted both going where you wouldn't expect. Well.
33:24
Speaker 1: Speaking of having a blast, Rangers broadcaster Steve Allaqett, who
33:28
Speaker 1: I don't know, my buddy Bill Peta loves him, and
33:29
Speaker 1: I love Billy p Alpito's unbelievable Valeqet blasted devil star
33:35
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes for his one hint of breakaway move on
33:38
Speaker 1: New York colten Or Igor Sisterkin, accusing of disrespectful and
33:41
Speaker 1: playing quote Instagram hockey. Jack Hughes said he doesn't know
33:45
Speaker 1: what that means. I don't know what it means either,
33:47
Speaker 1: but I like it to be clear. I know what
33:49
Speaker 1: it means. But I just like them guys, Barry guys,
33:52
Speaker 1: so quite honestly, I'm on team Ballackett, even though I
33:54
Speaker 1: don't know what means.
33:56
Speaker 2: Poor Rangers, They're just they're searching for something. Even the
34:00
Speaker 2: even the commentating crews like, we got to do something here,
34:02
Speaker 2: we got to go after. They just went after the
34:04
Speaker 2: Rangers too much. They're trying to go after I listen,
34:06
Speaker 2: don't give up a breakaway number one. I want to
34:10
Speaker 2: pile on Steve Aliquette, but he's been getting absolutely buried
34:13
Speaker 2: by everybody. Like in the league. I saw Sue Ban
34:16
Speaker 2: did something and I'm like, he's been getting destroyed. It's
34:21
Speaker 2: just like you. It's like this kid that puts her
34:23
Speaker 2: hand up in class and like, hey, I got something
34:25
Speaker 2: to say. Shut the hell up, Shut the hell up,
34:28
Speaker 2: shut up. It's just all But I mean, I just
34:32
Speaker 2: I thought it was a bad take. You know, listen,
34:34
Speaker 2: he's had a lot of good takes, but unfortunately in
34:36
Speaker 2: this industry, I've realized one bad take in your you're
34:40
Speaker 2: no One's that.
34:41
Speaker 1: He's forever gonna be known for this.
34:43
Speaker 2: Now he's forever known as Yeah, he's gonna live in infamy.
34:47
Speaker 2: But no, I think, listen, this is how we grow
34:50
Speaker 2: the game. Unfortunately, this is where the league is. It's
34:52
Speaker 2: not so fighting forward as it used to be. Obviously,
34:55
Speaker 2: there's some huge, great heavyweights in the NHL, but we're
34:58
Speaker 2: you know, we're skilled first, and Jack Hughes is at
35:03
Speaker 2: the forefront of that. So I think it's it was
35:05
Speaker 2: good that he's trying that play. And I mean, Schusterkins
35:08
Speaker 2: is that good of a goalie that he did not
35:09
Speaker 2: bite on it at all, and that's what he Valcet
35:12
Speaker 2: should have been saying as a goalie, been like, hey,
35:14
Speaker 2: suck it, Jack Hughes. You think you're good, No you're not,
35:17
Speaker 2: and said he was like an old man yelling at
35:19
Speaker 2: the clouds, which you know now I'm piling on him.
35:21
Speaker 1: Shut up, shut up. But you're right he never ought
35:24
Speaker 1: to be that get off my long guy, especial because
35:26
Speaker 1: valcqetsund like an old guy, like he was like seventy two,
35:29
Speaker 1: saying forty seven or something, and he jock him out
35:32
Speaker 1: of his grave. He's like, I don't expect that kind
35:34
Speaker 1: of behavior, Like okay, fine, but I'm like, he said,
35:37
Speaker 1: it's forty guys, what are you talking about?
35:39
Speaker 2: Like why, I know, what's he watching Downtown Abbey at
35:42
Speaker 2: night or something? Who knows? Just an old guy now. Anyway,
35:45
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Steve. I love you, Steve. I mean, keep going.
35:49
Speaker 2: I heard he's a great guy, so it's just so bad.
35:52
Speaker 2: I have heard good things.
35:54
Speaker 1: On a serious note, before we get to our guests,
35:55
Speaker 1: Powerful night Tuesday in Calgary, Johnny and Matthew Gadrow both
35:59
Speaker 1: honored Flames and Blue jackets, wearing Goodrow Jerseys chanting Johnny
36:03
Speaker 1: Hockey towards the end of the win, Gee Gadro being there,
36:06
Speaker 1: of course, his dad, with Michael Backl, Rasmus Anderson. The
36:09
Speaker 1: post commuterview was it was amazing sight.
36:11
Speaker 3: JD.
36:12
Speaker 1: It's still tough to process it. I still can't believe
36:15
Speaker 1: that those guys are gone. But it was really a
36:17
Speaker 1: really special night, really made you feel how hockey does this.
36:20
Speaker 1: I feel like better than anybody, embracing that whole community.
36:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's such a small community, and it's like six
36:26
Speaker 2: degrees of separation.
36:28
Speaker 3: You know.
36:28
Speaker 2: I never met Johnny, but I knew countless people that
36:32
Speaker 2: were close friends with him. So I've heard a million
36:35
Speaker 2: stories about him and his brother as well, And so
36:38
Speaker 2: it's such a tragedy and we're kind of saying it's
36:41
Speaker 2: like what happened with Kobe and the NBA. It's the
36:43
Speaker 2: equivalent of that, Like everybody came together, you know, I
36:46
Speaker 2: love And that's what's so great about the hockey community
36:49
Speaker 2: is the organizations are bringing in his family, making sure
36:53
Speaker 2: they're okay. People are reaching out. I mean, you saw
36:56
Speaker 2: the moment with Craig Conroy as well. It just so
36:59
Speaker 2: it breaks your heart. But the only way kind of
37:03
Speaker 2: through this is all to gain and that's what we're
37:05
Speaker 2: seeing from the NHL, and not just the the organizations,
37:09
Speaker 2: the teams, with the league as a whole. So in
37:12
Speaker 2: the fan base, I mean, the fans have been so
37:14
Speaker 2: incredible and I'm sure have helped in the healing process.
37:17
Speaker 2: And it's going to be a long grieving process for
37:19
Speaker 2: all of us and more so for their family. So
37:21
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's just he was an inspiration, you know,
37:25
Speaker 2: to such a generation of players, the cole cawfields, the
37:28
Speaker 2: smaller players that weren't, you know, physically imposing, but their
37:33
Speaker 2: game was imposing. So I just feel like it's it's
37:37
Speaker 2: great to see and for as sad as it's all
37:40
Speaker 2: has been, there's been some some some light at the
37:43
Speaker 2: end of the tunnel of us coming together as human
37:46
Speaker 2: beings at the end of the day, that's what we are.
37:48
Speaker 2: It's it's not NHL, it's human beings coming together and
37:51
Speaker 2: supporting each other, which I think has just been beautiful
37:54
Speaker 2: to watch.
37:56
Speaker 1: It's all sad, it was a tough night. I certainly
37:57
Speaker 1: we appreciate all the contributions from the Gadrill family to
38:01
Speaker 1: the great sport of hockey. Still to come. Here on
38:03
Speaker 1: NHL unscript we're talking to the Kid Mirror Sports Emmy Awards,

Speaker 1: a dead giveaway. You're supposed to say the Emmy goes.
39:03
Speaker 3: To but.
39:05
Speaker 1: You said, the MLB goes. That's because we're the only
39:10

39:13
Speaker 1: We beat them all. I gave you a giant hug
39:15
Speaker 1: when I got to the stage. It was one of
39:17
Speaker 1: the best moments of my life. I got to share
39:18
Speaker 1: it with you.
39:19
Speaker 3: Come on, man, you know like now you got hardware?
39:22
Speaker 3: You know not.
39:23
Speaker 4: I'm sure you flexed on Thanksgiving on everybody, hopefully without question.
39:28
Speaker 1: And there's the thing I read Meryl Streep with his
39:30
Speaker 1: three Academy Awards. She keeps one of them in the
39:32
Speaker 1: living room because people walk in there go where's your oscar?
39:34
Speaker 1: I never wants to see it, and they want to
39:35
Speaker 1: make a speech, take a picture. So I'm just gonna
39:37
Speaker 1: brandish my Emmy and my living room in the bathroom. Right.
39:40
Speaker 1: People go to the bathroom, they want to do their speech,
39:42
Speaker 1: look in the mirror while they do it.
39:43
Speaker 2: But I'm surprised, and I'm surprisy and bringing on the
39:46
Speaker 2: show today, yeah, shared off air, and that's all I
39:49
Speaker 2: talked to me said, well, I got an Emmy, guys, exactly.
39:56
Speaker 1: Seriously, kid, you did you did an amazing job. And
39:58
Speaker 1: that is a tough job. As any of the three
40:00
Speaker 1: of us. Know, like when you're hosting award show, because
40:03
Speaker 1: half people they just want to get to their award,
40:05
Speaker 1: half of them are hungry, half of them are not.
40:07
Speaker 1: How did you approach it? Southing monologue was great, you're
40:09
Speaker 1: making jokes about sports, you're making jokes, but cultural events,
40:12
Speaker 1: how did you approach it?
40:14
Speaker 3: Yeah?
40:14
Speaker 4: Man, so honestly, I think it was just the experience
40:19
Speaker 4: of having of being on stage, you know, doing comedy shows,
40:22
Speaker 4: doing live stuff where you have to interact with the audience,
40:26
Speaker 4: and like, yo, if there's something goes wrong, you got
40:28
Speaker 4: a vamp, you know.
40:29
Speaker 3: What I mean.
40:30
Speaker 4: Like I did a lot of F one coverage, like
40:33
Speaker 4: a season or two ago with Michelle Beatle where we
40:36
Speaker 4: did Silverstone and there was like a rain delay and
40:38
Speaker 4: it was.
40:39
Speaker 3: Ninety minutes of like vamping.
40:41
Speaker 4: So it's like you gotta hold people's attention, you gotta
40:43
Speaker 4: keep people engaged, and like comedy is to me, I mean,
40:46
Speaker 4: like I may be biased, you know, not like a
40:49
Speaker 4: dramatic actor, but I feel like comedy is one of
40:51
Speaker 4: the best ways to keep.
40:51
Speaker 3: People engaged and stuff. You know, so like just keep
40:54
Speaker 3: on telling jokes, keep hey, crowd work, Hey buddy.
40:57
Speaker 4: Like, yo, homie right there, Like I don't know who
41:00
Speaker 4: you are. You might be the president of ESPN, I
41:02
Speaker 4: do not know, but you going in on you for
41:05
Speaker 4: that bow tie, you know what I mean?
41:06
Speaker 1: Ye specific jokes to the audience. So it was like
41:10
Speaker 1: mentioning Taylor Rooks or mentioning the fact that Greg Olsen
41:13
Speaker 1: is now losing his job for tom right now. That
41:16
Speaker 1: was very topical stuff.
41:19
Speaker 4: I was like, I was glad I was on stage.
41:21

Speaker 4: the any league, not just the NHL, Like any league
47:01
Speaker 4: doesn't survive without good players, you know what I mean,

Speaker 1: in the last team before I let you go. Since
54:34
Speaker 1: JD played hockey, kid, is there any questions? Any hockey questions?
54:38
Speaker 1: When it asked Jason Devers, how about it?
54:40
Speaker 3: Yes?
54:40
Speaker 4: So what determines like, Yo, I'm fighting this guy, Like
54:46
Speaker 4: we are gonna fight right now?
54:48
Speaker 3: Like what is it? Is it?
54:49
Speaker 4: Like?
54:50
Speaker 3: Is it? You know?
54:50
Speaker 4: Like in baseball it's like, yo, the pitcher has hit
54:53
Speaker 4: our best hitter, So now when their best hitters up
54:56
Speaker 4: to bat, we're gonna plunk them. And hockey, what is
54:58
Speaker 4: the rules of engagement when it's time to fight.
55:02
Speaker 2: Well, there's there's a couple it. It depends on the
55:06
Speaker 2: score of the game. Sometimes you're trying to get a
55:08
Speaker 2: spark for your team. Sometimes you're down to nothing. The
55:10
Speaker 2: boys look dead, they're flat. You guys all went out
55:13
Speaker 2: the night before, and then everybody's a little hungover and
55:15
Speaker 2: you start the game and you're down to nothing right away,
55:17
Speaker 2: so guys go, hey, someone's got to do something. Typically
55:20
Speaker 2: there's a guy designated, but it depends it can be anybody.
55:23
Speaker 3: Then.
55:24
Speaker 2: Also, if one of your guys gets hit, So if
55:26
Speaker 2: I saw Pedro giving you the business, I'm probably coming
55:30
Speaker 2: to help you because that's what you gotta do. You're
55:32
Speaker 2: as a team of five on the ice, they say,
55:34
Speaker 2: you know, defend us five, but also like stick together.
55:37
Speaker 2: And then also just like you know, just for fun.
55:40
Speaker 2: Some guys, you know, some of the guys do it
55:42
Speaker 2: for fun. You know, the guys are just like, hey,
55:45
Speaker 2: you know, you just don't like a guy. And I mean,
55:47
Speaker 2: I I've my favorite fight I had as I fought
55:50
Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden. It only lasted like ten seconds
55:53
Speaker 2: because I went up against Chris Kreider, and you know,
55:56
Speaker 2: it's just so funny because I'm going like this and
55:58
Speaker 2: I'm like getting sad, and literally I fell like five
56:02
Speaker 2: seconds in and it just was because somebody got hit
56:04
Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm gonna go fight him because
56:06
Speaker 2: he hits somebody and I'm gonna protect my teammate. But
56:09
Speaker 2: it's it's so nerve wracking, but it's so great, and
56:12
Speaker 2: but it really there's so many factors, but the biggest
56:15
Speaker 2: one that typically happens is after somebody gets hit and
56:17
Speaker 2: you're protecting your teammate for sure. So if ever you
56:20
Speaker 2: see a boy, it's just like you're it's your homeboy
56:21
Speaker 2: helping you out. It's just that's that's really what it is.
56:23
Speaker 2: It's it's nice, you're you're somebody chirps you, hits on you,
56:29
Speaker 2: runs you over. You need a buddy to come and
56:31
Speaker 2: help you out, and then at least you know that.
56:33
Speaker 2: Typically when that happens, though, you know next time you
56:36
Speaker 2: got to do it. So you're like, make sure not
56:39
Speaker 2: a you know, a big guy that's gonna beach up
56:42
Speaker 2: is somebody that gets sick because I I mean I
56:43
Speaker 2: fought five six times, and four of the five was
56:46
Speaker 2: against like a heavyweight and we're literally the guy was like,
56:49
Speaker 2: the guy's like, are you sure? And I was like,
56:52
Speaker 2: when you hear somebody tell you are you sure? This
56:56
Speaker 2: is the scariest line ever. If you're sitting there in
57:01
Speaker 2: the street in life, if you're like, hey, like let's
57:03
Speaker 2: fight and somebody's like you sure, I'm like, I'm not anymore?
57:06
Speaker 2: Not sure? I was, Yeah, I got the wheels beat
57:11
Speaker 2: off me too after those four times. So every time
57:14
Speaker 2: somebody said, are you sharing at the wheels beat off?
57:17
Speaker 4: And the craziest thing is you're forgetting one very important
57:22
Speaker 4: factor in hockey fights is that you.
57:25
Speaker 3: Are on ice skates.
57:27
Speaker 4: Guy, fighting is hard enough like just pavement, like on
57:31
Speaker 4: flat ground. You know what I'm saying, Like, I want
57:33
Speaker 4: to combat sports. You know what I'm boxing. We saw
57:36
Speaker 4: the Jake Paul Mike Tyson's debacle.
57:38
Speaker 2: You know whatever that was. I'm ruined. That's that set
57:43
Speaker 2: us back.
57:44
Speaker 3: That was terrible. I saw Mike Tyson's butt. You know
57:47
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
57:49
Speaker 2: The highlight, the highlight Mike Tyson. But's the best.
57:56
Speaker 4: And that's hard. So you guys are doing it on skates.
57:58
Speaker 4: So shout out to you, man, because every winter we
58:02
Speaker 4: go out and the kids are like, yeah, let's go

59:25
Speaker 2: how how great a people they are and how everybody's
59:28
Speaker 2: just hustling. So it's cool. It was cool. It was great, awesome,
59:31
Speaker 2: very very organic.
59:34
Speaker 1: Oxford University Press is announced the word of the year
59:36
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four is brain rot. How is that
59:39
Speaker 1: the word of the year.
59:41
Speaker 2: It's two words exactly, that's the front of the two words, right,
59:45
Speaker 2: break that down term.
59:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Oxford University Press.
59:49
Speaker 2: It's you can't get anything right, eh.
59:54
Speaker 1: First prexit and now this it's this brain rot said.
59:59
Speaker 1: Brain rod is the catch all term for bizarre and
1:00:03
Speaker 1: semi uninten eligible extremely online language. That's what brain rod is.
1:00:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's essentially what our culture has become,
1:00:12
Speaker 2: which is and listen, we need some of that brain
1:00:15
Speaker 2: rod to be staring at our show to listen to this,
1:00:17
Speaker 2: so hopefully we get some of that, we get some
1:00:19
Speaker 2: of that buzz. But yeah, I mean, I mean, look
1:00:22
Speaker 2: at all the kids out there. I mean, you can't
1:00:24
Speaker 2: somebody can't even hold conversation for seven seconds and it's
1:00:28
Speaker 2: just immediately your eyes go down and you're like, oh,
1:00:29
Speaker 2: what's on this on the phone? So yeah, brain rod,
1:00:32
Speaker 2: I we did have to put the words together. But yeah,
1:00:35
Speaker 2: I'd say it's not bad.
1:00:36
Speaker 1: Now here's the big one to ask. We buried the
1:00:38
Speaker 1: leader because I love movies. I love going to the movies.
1:00:40
Speaker 1: Had a podcast called stin a Fhile, and your wife
1:00:42
Speaker 1: is an actress. And not only an actress, she's an
1:00:45
Speaker 1: esteemed actress. She's on Broadway right now. So this topic
1:00:47
Speaker 1: is big. Moviegoers have sparked a heat a debate about
1:00:50
Speaker 1: movie theater etiquette as people are singing along at screens
1:00:52
Speaker 1: of the smash at Wicked. Now, because I'm a member
1:00:55
Speaker 1: of the Broadcast Film Crek Association the BFC, I get
1:00:58
Speaker 1: the screeners sent to me, so I all, yeah, a
1:01:00
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit of a flex, so I
1:01:03
Speaker 1: get I get once a year, exactly, I can already
1:01:06
Speaker 1: even he sent to me, I'll bring I get those two.
1:01:09
Speaker 1: You get the wife, I guess. So I have Wicked,
1:01:15
Speaker 1: but I don't need to go to the theater to
1:01:17
Speaker 1: watch it, so I can watch it whatever at my
1:01:18
Speaker 1: own time. But what do you think about somebody being
1:01:21
Speaker 1: so invested, so excited they're singing along? Is this acceptable
1:01:26
Speaker 1: or is it not cloel? Because hey, I'm trying to
1:01:27
Speaker 1: watch a movie here, pipe down.
1:01:29
Speaker 2: Go to a concert if you want to sing along,
1:01:32
Speaker 2: or go to a go to a goddamn karaoke place
1:01:34
Speaker 2: if you want to sing along, Like, don't stop. The
1:01:37
Speaker 2: movie theater is the last place where we can sit
1:01:39
Speaker 2: in silence and people are off their phones and just
1:01:42
Speaker 2: enjoy the experience. Just enjoy the gosh darn experience. Please,
1:01:46
Speaker 2: that's all I ask of you.
1:01:47
Speaker 1: It's Wicked.
1:01:49
Speaker 2: Let them sing, you know, go to go to a
1:01:52
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift concert and Ariana Grande concert and then sing
1:01:55
Speaker 2: along there. Just enjoy it. But let the people that
1:01:58
Speaker 2: are trying to just decompress in the dark and just
1:02:01
Speaker 2: relax and contemplate their lives, let them listen to Wicked
1:02:03
Speaker 2: and get a little but a joy, just a touch
1:02:06
Speaker 2: of joy. That's it.
1:02:07
Speaker 1: I couldn't read more. There's nothing worse than when you're
1:02:09
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess people sing along and be bad,
1:02:11
Speaker 1: but nothing worse than you're at a movie. You can
1:02:13
Speaker 1: just feel the light of all people on their phones
1:02:15
Speaker 1: and stuff, like you you came to a movie to
1:02:17
Speaker 1: go text your friends to go post an ig Like,
1:02:20
Speaker 1: that's that's so garbage.
1:02:22
Speaker 2: That's one in the second one is talking in general
1:02:24
Speaker 2: to movie when somebody goes, yeah, wuld they say it's like, no,
1:02:27
Speaker 2: go rewatch it? Then I need I'm in it. Go
1:02:31
Speaker 2: if you missed it, do not lean over to me
1:02:32
Speaker 2: and say who's that? Okay, we're not watching the same
1:02:36
Speaker 2: movie then, but just rewatch it. Google it at the
1:02:38
Speaker 2: end of the movie.
1:02:39
Speaker 1: The last thing I wanted to mention to you because
1:02:41
Speaker 1: you know Vinyl'iley National Breadner Center. He recently announceds an
1:02:45
Speaker 1: album of children's music coming out Athletes and music. I mean,
1:02:49
Speaker 1: Adam Wayne Wright. I work with MLB Network. He's a
1:02:51
Speaker 1: country music guy. Now, I mean, are you a music god?
1:02:54
Speaker 1: Do you have any issues with I mean, do you
1:02:56
Speaker 1: know Ryan's singing ability? Is this? Is this cool?
1:02:58
Speaker 2: He's I played with them at World Championships and know
1:03:02
Speaker 2: him a little bit, and he would, you know, we'd
1:03:04
Speaker 2: go out for dinner and I'll be hanging out in
1:03:07
Speaker 2: the room after and he would just take his guitar
1:03:08
Speaker 2: and riff songs. And he literally had a song called
1:03:12
Speaker 2: gluten Free that was hilarious and I wish I think
1:03:17
Speaker 2: he might have lyrics to it, but he could just
1:03:20
Speaker 2: sit and riff and we'd all sit and have like
1:03:22
Speaker 2: a sing along together. And as funny as that sounds
1:03:24
Speaker 2: and it's Kumbaya, and as weird as a bunch of
1:03:27
Speaker 2: hockey guys sitting in a room having a sing along,
1:03:29
Speaker 2: it was pretty damn cool. So people being like that's weird,
1:03:32
Speaker 2: it wasn't. It was very cool. But yeah, he's so
1:03:36
Speaker 2: talented and I'm excited. I actually didn't know he was
1:03:40
Speaker 2: doing that, so I saw that on the NHL network,
1:03:42
Speaker 2: and I mean, I think it's cool. I think there
1:03:44
Speaker 2: needs to be more branching out. You just talk to
1:03:46
Speaker 2: kid Mehra about branding, and you are a brand. You
1:03:49
Speaker 2: are the business. As an athlete, you need to extend
1:03:52
Speaker 2: yourself outside of the sport because it's the one thing.
1:03:56
Speaker 2: You know, it's finite your time in the NHL or
1:04:00
Speaker 2: in sports, like you're eventually you can't beat Father time.
1:04:02
Speaker 2: You're eventually gonna be gone injury. You need to do
1:04:05
Speaker 2: other stuff. Life's not over after hockey or sport. You
1:04:08
Speaker 2: need to find another outlet. And I like when guys
1:04:11
Speaker 2: find it during their career because it's you know, I
1:04:14
Speaker 2: have a hard time when I see guys because I
1:04:16
Speaker 2: was very much do a million things when I played.
1:04:19
Speaker 2: So when guys young kids come in and they're only
1:04:21
Speaker 2: hockey and only hockey, and that's it. Every day. Eventually
1:04:25
Speaker 2: you burn out. It's just a matter of time. You
1:04:27
Speaker 2: need something, whether it's golf, whether it's anything. Just get
1:04:29
Speaker 2: out and get a hobby, you know, pick up a
1:04:32
Speaker 2: pick up a ball of yarn and start crocheting and
1:04:35
Speaker 2: see what happens to do something. I don't know why
1:04:37
Speaker 2: I went to crocheg but from your you didn't like
1:04:40
Speaker 2: that one from your I gave you like, okay there,
1:04:44
Speaker 2: but I was fishing. I was fishing for a laugh
1:04:46
Speaker 2: and I didn't get it, and then there I go.
1:04:48
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. You have to have different passions on
1:04:50
Speaker 1: off the ice, and since you know them a little bit,
