• 1:25
  Speaker 1: through this. It's a lot of time. I'm good, buddy good.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I pulled up surprise birthday for my wife for fortieth
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: birthday parties. We'd be the last week meet. My sister
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: in law pulled it off, so it was good. That
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: was my main stress the last time since the last
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: saw you. I know if you've ever done a surprise
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: party for jail, But my wife can sniff those out
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: pretty good, and she kind of had the ink should
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: have anything the surprise. But when I said let's go
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: for lunch, she's like, well, what's he doing at dinner?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Clearly he's not just gonna let anything happen. So we
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: did the lunch and I had to give one of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: my house key to one of her friends the night before,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: so that it was very odd. The night before I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: couldn't get in the house, thankfully to wailness that makes
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you open the door for music, yep. And then of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: course the alarm. I was terrified. That's why I thought
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was gonna happen. I thought her friends would get in
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the house with my house key and then forget the alarm,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: colding you miss attacks. Also, my wife's just gonna get messaged.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Wiseman in the house. Lock hold on, dude. We pulled
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it off.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It was great. Uh is you don't know about my wife?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: She is aloof to all things. Surprise surprise. Oh. She
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: She had no idea And I fumbled the bag for
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: our engagement probably six times, and she had no idea
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: that I was proposing to her. And in Egypt, I
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: almost got detained by Egyptian guard at the Pyramids of
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Giza because I was bringing metal through the metal detector,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: which is the ring, and I had to like. She's like,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: what's going on? And I'm like and I'm like kind
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: of talking to these Egyptian guys being like, hey, it's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: like her ring, and they're like, oh, congrats, congrats. So
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: they're giving her this one and she's like so they're
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: yelling at her like hey, congrats, and she's like, what's
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: going on right now? I'm like, I don't know, honey.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: They're just saying congrats. For us visiting the Pyramids. She's like, oh,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: that's cool, and then she and all our friends are
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: like calling bullshit on her, like how did you not know?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Because of the morning I woke up. I was like,
• 3:01

• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you fucking kidding me? Right now? I was like, sure,
• 3:07

• 3:10
  Speaker 2: most times the girl knowing that time, but my wife oblivious.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I want to hear more about Kyro. I'd love to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: go to Egypt one day. I love that.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You. Yeah, go to Egypt, not Cairo. It's crazy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Go to Egypt, not Cairo.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Well, Cairo, it's it's wild. It's wild, and I never
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: see traffic like that in my life, and it's crazy.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It's uh, it's basically New York City during gridlock, but
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: all day, every day.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, that sounds Awful'm never New York, New Jersey. Oh jesus, Yeah,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the Lincoln Tunnel, that's what it's like.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's like it's like the Lincoln Tunnel.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: That's but it's a lot dustier, awful and tallet's include
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you how things been. You got a little ghetaway as well.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: You also went to Arizona, well, Scott Stale Action for
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the Pinchevskis. That was a few weeks ago.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: My kid was off school and then we had a
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: couple of days where he basically had nothing to do.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: So my wife's originally from Arizona. We went there for
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: a few days. It was super hot, triple digits fahrenheit,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: but nice.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: We had a pool.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: It was just nice to get away from the cite
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: for a little while.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You were up in Juno, you cause do nature walks
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: in June on a cruise.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: From an Alaskan cruise while we were off So that
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: was beautiful, actually, oh.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Man Alaskan cruise.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nice, very nice. That's pretty cool. Watch it was.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: It was cold, it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Was actually, you know, pretty chilly for June. And we
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: enjoyed it. A kind of a family Alaska get away.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Uh saw a bunch of nature. We were we were
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: all one with nature.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It was very pertant.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: We liked it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Would you recommend an Alaskan cruise.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I would definitely.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, even if you're not necessarily a cruise person
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: per se, just getting that far away and being that isolated,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: that away from it all and being around just gorgeous,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: just you know, wildlife and mountains and all that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: It was nice.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: And then we stopped in these small towns where literally,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: like the whole downtown was a block and it was
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: all kind of these little you know, but it was charming.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: It was charming. We liked it. Get Away Captain A
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: have here going.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: From now on Telvino's Captain, ahb.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: He's just just seeking some whale blubber in the middle
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: of May.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I love Adams, middle of May.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I love that say.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I like unique trips all right, onto hockey.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: On the Hockey July first is coming gone to Canada Day.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: But in terms of free agency, the Florida Panthers, the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: cat came back. You win the title. Jay, Let's just
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: bring it out. Let's run that baby back. Brad Marshan
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: six year extension, Sam Bennett eight year extension, Aaron ackbladd
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a year extension. Unbelievable. They bring back Thomas no Chick
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: on a one year deal. So Barkie Kachuk, Reinhart, Bennett
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: for Hagey Marshaan Lindell Atblad, Seth Jones, Gustav Forsling signed
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: through twenty thirty. I remember no shred Demurz. Your prediction
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: had been ac Blad would walk. You did see they
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: get Bennet eight years and Marsha and you're like, maybe
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: four years he might go join McKinnon and Colorado, maybe
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: goes Pittsburgh, Crosby, maybe Toronto. Your reaction to the fact
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Bill's you know, goes, no, give me, I.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Give this guy the GM of the Year award. Now
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the three peat is very much alive and well they
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: also bring in Jeff Petrie on the back end, so
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: they do another you know, one year league minimum to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a dmon that's kind of a little bit older, a
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: little bit aging, looking for a place to go. I
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: it's crazy that, you know, you there's not enough credit
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that goes to the culture of this group of guys
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: within that locker room because they it's hard to put
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: your money where your mouth is and say, hey, we
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: all want to kumbaya, stay together. We have a great team.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And then as soon as free agency starts and you
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: starts seeing the dollars fly in, you go, you know
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do. It's best for my family. But
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the fact that they're able to marry the two and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: this team as a whole loves each other this much.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And you hear them keep talking about the group chats,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you know, and every team is a group chat. But
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: these guys are putting their money where their mouth is.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: They're taking discounts. Taxes are no taxes. I don't that's
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: such a that's such an easy, easy thing for other
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: fans and other teams to kind of pick at and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: nitpick at. Was that well the taxes in Florida. I mean, like, listen,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: for all these guys to decide to stay there, it's
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: it's just a testament to what they've built. And listen,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: can I blame them? They're staying in South Florida. They
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: have a winning team, great locker room there, they take
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: a golf cart to practice, Yeah they have. It's the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: best place to probably play in the NHL bar and
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a few others. But this is this is just the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: gold standard being there. So they have all those things
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: on top of favorable state income taxes. But you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Florida will get you somewhere else with property tax or
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the strip clubs anything, so they'll get you where ever
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: they need to go.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But good point on the Rippers getting you the rippers
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: will get you there. But the dollar tax all the time,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: always it's.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Crazy nuts, it's goddamn wild West out there wild but
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: but no, it's it's very much like I'll say, I'll
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: just keep harping on that. It's a credit to that
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: team and that group of guys and that leadership group
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: making guys buy in and Bill's I mean, so much
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: credit goes to him what he's built there and in
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the short time he's been there. And I mean, as
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: this is the team to beat in the East right now,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: barring any injuries, this is the Saint You're running it back.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: This was categorically the best team in the playoffs last year.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And with all these injuries, they're gonna be healthy. We'll
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: see how they do. But I man o manner, they
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: fucking unbelievable again.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Crazy amazing to think that they could be a three
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: pet after being a wagon. Meantime, the team that they
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: beat the Oilers, Oh no, breaking up, Scory Perry's signing
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: with the LA Kings, Connor Brown to New Jersey, John
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: klingbroog San Jose, Victor Arbinson, Triad to Boston. They bring
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: back Bousch, Evan Bouchyard and Casperry Kappaanan, but it feels
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: like jad Edmonton's taking a step back. I still don't
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: know who their goalie is going to because we and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I both said they need an upgrade not just for
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Skinner but along with Skinner all respect to Calvin Pickard.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And we still don't know about Connor McDavid potentially signing
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: extension could be a lame duck heer and his final
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: year of his deal.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Your thoughts on the Oilers, Yeah, I mean, I'm sure
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: they they took some swings at guys, but they just
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: don't have enough. They had to get rid of some cap.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: They're in a little bit of trouble from the years
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: past and just goes to show you, you know, man,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: those you keep looking back and I know they were
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: in the finals two years in a row, and you
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: know they lost in six, but it just didn't feel
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: like they were. Man, they just didn't feel like they
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: were They were good enough number one, but they haven't
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: gotten any better. I know they're trying to get this
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Isaac Coward. He's supposed to becoming this young kid there.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Apparently it's all but done, but they're waiting to announce
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: it or they're waiting for the pick to go through.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: But he's supposed to be a guy that could potentially help.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: You know, Nikolai Eilers is still out there as we're
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: recording this right now. If he's the last, they might
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: sign and the next day.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But oh, there's just sign men and Critisal Zarre. I don't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: know though that as much fun.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's bottom six, and you know, Manjiapane, I
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: was hoping they'd go after like a Christian de Vorak.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I was hoping they you know, there's talks that Adam
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Henriq was gonna get traded. They have a lot to do,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: they have a lot to work on. I think they
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: might be doing kind of what Colorado did last year
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and be a mid season retool. They'll just wait till
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the season starts because they know Connor and Leon will
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: they'll win him enough games. But man, if I'm Connor,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: and you know, you have that very very honest conversation
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: with everybody about where he stands, and I thought he
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: was very well spoken with what he was looking for
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and wants from this team and how he wants to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: be committed. But they got to kind of commit to him.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: And I think if I'm him, seeing what happened in
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: free agency, that's your first indication of where they're trying
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: to go. And again, listen, there, it's tough to compete
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: with other teams that were in just better situation cap
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: wise than Edmonton was, and they had some contracts that
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: they had to dump. But if i'm him, I'm reiterating
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: what I've said countless time since the end of the year.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Sign a wanted to year deal and tell them prove
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: it to me, because him right now to go and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: sign a six year deal would be stupid.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as you'd predicted before. And I think there's a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: lot of sense to what you're saying, is that, listen
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to your deal thirty five million, you're gonna get a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: ton of cash. At least that way, you're not a
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: lame dock going into the final year, because you imagine
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: if he does not sign extension all year, the handwringing,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: where's McDavid going, whys he signed, blah blah blah. So hey, fine,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: here's your one er, two year deal. Get a little
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: more cash. But as far as the team improving, don't
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: necessarily see it happening in the introim. The biggest shock,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: No golfers, exactly, go get a goalie. Gelp Skinner up.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Biggest shock with that question, Brockbesser, when I saw a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: seven year deal fifty points, seventy five million dollar extension
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: of Wowsers, the Canucks also paying a ton to Thatcher
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: demco our buddy Connor Garl and we're totally on board
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: with that. But this was interesting in terms of a
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: team which did not perform well last season cluarly they
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: were under achievers. Rather than mess with the core, they
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: essentially doubled down and said, these are our guys. We
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: believe it will be better. Besser had a forty goal
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: season couple years ago. Last year slept to twenty five
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: goals fifty points. He was still one of the better
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: players on the team, so clearly they're invested in him.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: But to me, of all the moves, I did not
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: see seven years, fifty million going to Brock Beser. You.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was kind of last minute, and you know,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: it's one of those things I think he was talking about.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: It was a phone call that happened in the final
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: hour that allowed this to happen. And I mean, listen,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: good on Vancouver getting it done. I think letting him
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: leave would have been a big mistake. And now that
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: he's back, I mean, this team's actually not in that
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: bad of a situation that people think, you know, I
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: vander Kine. The first year he's on any team is
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: always the best year, So I think they're gonna get
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: the most out of him. They dealt with a lot
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: of injuries last year. And you know, if you look
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: back two years ago when they you know, almost beat
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Edmonton in the in the playoffs, I mean, everything went
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: right for them that year, and last year everything went
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: wrong and it's just one of those things. Now hopefully
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: they can find some balance. Dakota Joshua'll be back healthy.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: You know, you bring back Connor Garland's a big piece,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Elias Petterson with a new coach, no JT. Miller. How
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: is Adam Foock going to be able to get him
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: back playing the way he can do. I think this
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: team's a playoff team, bubble team maybe, But I I
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: think like the Anaheim Ducks or I have them ahead
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: in the Pacific right now. I got the Ducks cruising
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: right now, cruising USA. But yeah, I think they're gonna
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: be better. But time will tell. It's an interesting one,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: so we'll.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Get to the Ducks in just a second. Of course,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: John Gibson they made that move going to Detroit for
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Peter Murrazak and picks Michael Granlin signing with Anaheim as well.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But of course the Vegas phrasing out there is Mitch
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Marner rights get traded by the Leafs to Vegas, and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: then he signs an eight year, ninety six million dollar
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: contract with the Golden Knights. It's fascinting we think about
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: because everyone's going to opinion on it. He's a hundred
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: point player, is an elite defensive forward, but it's points
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: per game point nine zero the playoffs one one three
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in the regular season, a lot of leaf grumbling. There's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a couple of facts. So I think the bottom line
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: is this though JD. He's a really good player. He'll
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: make Vegas a lot better and the Leaves are clearly
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: not as good without him, so they do sign Matthew
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: nine six year extension. Petranzl's career might be over steps
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: away from the Golden Knights, who attend to numerous injuries,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: but Vegas got to do. Like there's only so many
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: studs out there. Everyone knew Marner was the best player
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: available and they got period.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Vegas looks good. They look really good
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: right now. I think Marner is gonna add a lot
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: to that team. He's gonna add some speed, he's gonna
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: add some penalty killing, some offense. He's gonna be a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: good compliment to Jack Eichel. I think they're really gonna
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: make some magic together. I'm gonna be interested to see
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: who's gonna be the shooter on that line, but you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: hopefully it is Jack, but they're they're gonna have to
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: put somebody in, and I think they're gonna put a
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Dori Fiev on that side. Guy they can finish. And
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: he's probably gonna be the byproduct of that is him
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: gonna be scoring forty to fifty goals next year potentially,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: so he can have a big year. So yeah, I listen,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: he's gonna get his ass boot when he goes back
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to Toronto. I think nothing against you know, we said
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: it at the end of that round against Toronto and
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Florida where we said this, they just that core four
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: couldn't get it done and you got to pull the trigger.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: They pulled it too late. I think but they have
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: to pull the trigger. And our prediction was that the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: only way John Tavaris would stay in toronto's taking a
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: hometown discount, improving that he's a leader, and he did that,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: so congratulations to him. And Mitch Marner was going to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: be the guy to leave, and he should have left,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: and I don't think he should have stayed. I think
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the relationship was untenable. I just don't think the fan
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: base and him had enough trust in each other. And
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: you could see it. It came to a head last
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: year and you saw him in the press conference. He's
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: smile and he's laughing. Have you ever seen that kind
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: of emotion from him in five years? The last five
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: years with the Leafs, he just seemed like a weight
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: was lifted off his shoulder. So I expect him to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: have a big year, but I expect Toronto to still
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: be a solid, you know, a team that's contending for
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: a playoff spot and can potentially go deep. So this
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: is gonna be one. It's it's tough to say what's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: gonna happen to the Leafs, but I think you know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: the Kneelanders, the Matthews getting Mitch Marner away and he
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: is a big piece of that team, but it was
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of noise there, so I'm gonna be anxious
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: to see how they kind of handle this and move forward.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Vegas is kind of right. The Pacific is
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: going to be very tough next year right now, And
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you know, because you can never discount Edmonton. Just by
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the way Connor and Leon play, you got LA's gonna
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: be good again. They picked up some pieces. I mean,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I think they'll be just okay, but actually yeah, actually
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: don't love their pickups. But anyway, sorry, and then Anaheim
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: is going to be great. So I think it's going
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: to be an interesting little run there in the Pacific,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: but Vegas will most certainly be at the top again.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: The other moves you mentioned the fact you're bullish on
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the Ducks. So Gibson goes to Detroit, they get rid
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: of him for Peter Mrazakin picks Michael Grantlin's signing with
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the Ducks, big pickup. Yeah, no, adopts and trade to Montreal,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: signing an eight year extension with the Habs. Let's talk Anaheim.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: You said before paper Beek was going to be aggressive.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: He obviously has a big time coach now Joel Quinnville
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Anahem looks like they're poison make some moves. You like
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the Grandlin pickup.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I love the Grandlin pickup. I love they're gonna get
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Mason McTavish lined up. I think down the middle they're
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: very solid. Back on treading Trevor Siegers too. By the way,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: people get rid of him. He get rid of that cancer.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: He's out, so which is great. You get rid of
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: a guy that didn't necessarily just didn't fit. I thought
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: getting rid of him was a big, big deal. So
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I'm interested to see how that works out for Zegres
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: and Philly. But I think Joe Quenvill's got the team
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that he that he needs, he wants. I'm sure they'll
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: add some pieces. But you get Lucas Dostall. He gets
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the net. Uh, he earned it. He's a great goaltender.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: On the back end, they got some veterans that can
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: hit with the Goddess and the trubas. I know they're
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit older, but listen, put putting your toes
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: in the sand and seeing the sun every day. He'll
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: keep that body nice and loose. And they got some
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: They got some really guys. Jackson Lacombe coming up, you
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: got Carlson. I mean, there's a lot to love for
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: this team right now, and I do think that they're
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: going to be very exciting. They're going to play good
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: brand of hockey, and you know, it's all who's behind
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the bench too, And I think Joe Quinn was gonna
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: get the most out of these guys. But I think
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Mikail Grant that was a sneaky big pick up for
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: this team, and he was at times one of the
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: for most of that playoffs, one of the best players
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: for the Dallas Stars. So it's gonna be a big,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: big season for Anaheim. And I think Pat Verbeek is
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: expecting a push for the playoffs and that's my dark
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: course to make the playoffs. Still, and I mean.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: They had a ton of they had a ton of
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: cap space, I mean thirty five million going into this,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: so they knew they could actually spend a little bit.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Mace mctab's only twenty two years of age, dostals twenty five,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: so as far as like young players looking to grow,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and you're right about secrets, it's amazing thinking. But he was,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: you know, top three for the Calder and was run
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: up for the Caulder a couple years ago, but in
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons just fell out of favor
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: with the coaching staff. Just wasn't feeling it. And he'll
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: get a chance at least in Philly. Jad he'll be
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: playing for a contract, So at least that's a good
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: newer and Philly takes a shot with pailing a couple
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of picks. As you said, it wasn't gonna work out
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: for Anahem, Philly at least takes a flyer on him.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, can you imagine Rick Talckett having a
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: deal with Meetchkoff and Ziegres doing the fucking Michigan and
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Jamie Drysdale there too. They're they're they're big, but they're
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: big buddies.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I think it's listen, change. The scenery is good. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: make it ok about, I said, okay answer and degrets. No,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I just think it didn't fit anymore. Yeah, And sometimes
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: when the fit doesn't work, You know, there are times
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: in the NHL where the grasses and greener and guys
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: leave early, and there's times where you need to move
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: on and you don't realize that. Just taking that exhale
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: and getting with a new group of guys and a
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: new coaching staff and just having a fresh start is
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: enough if you're you know, listen, at one point he
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: was a very highly touted prospect and a guy that
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: was poised to potentially be a point per game player.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: So for me, it's like he can find that game.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: He's just got to, you know, put the work in
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and is if he's willing to put the work in,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Rick Talkin will work with him and help him out
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: in this. You know, Flyers organization will really really really
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: you know, can turn the corner here and do something
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and put a consistencies and together we.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Do a great job at HL network on research department,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: as you know, JD, Lawrence Golds and the whole crew
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: when they're looking. I was looking at the packet here
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the top twenty five potential d targets number one at
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: least on this.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: List, Jason, Yeah, to Burn's coming back.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, Brent Burns is third, and you're younger than him,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: so why not number one on that list? Last left,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Gavrikov GAVERRIKOFV signs for seven years of the Rangers to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: become Adam Fox's running mate. The Rangers did not have
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: a first round pick. So as far as the draft
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: is concerned, they run non entity. But Gaverkov signs with them.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: What do you make of that move? As I said,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I'll be there paired with fox.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Well, they brought in some help for Foxy, and that's
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: what I was saying last year. They needed somebody defensively
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: that could help them and take a little bit of
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: the load off. I think they did that, but you know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: they lose. They Tradekeandre Miller. I think it's a great trade.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: They got a good return in terms of draft picks
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: in draft capital, but they I think it's gonna be
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: a tough sledding year for them more than people think. Well,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a difficult year. I think
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: they lost a lot of pieces. They're gonna be expecting
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of young guys to step up. This is
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: gonna be a very different looking New York Rangers team,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: and I think it's gonna take some time now how
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Sullivan can put the pieces in place there. And I
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: think he can very much put the structure that they need.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: But I think it's I'm a little nervous. I don't
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: love the look of this team right now, but I
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: know I think Drey had to make some decisions and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: make some tough decisions on bringing in draft capital and
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: and maybe getting rid of some of the contracts that
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: were just a little bit too hanging too heavily. And
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: he had a big decision to make with ca Andre Miller,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: and he makes it. But I think, you know, Carolina,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: it's getting a great, a high ceiling player that needs
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: of again. This seems to be like the summer of
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: fresh starts, and this is a fresh start for him.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think New York It's gonna be gonna
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: be tough sled next year.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Amazing to think about the fact Presidon Trophy team a
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago, this year a big disappointment, and
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you think next year could be tough sledding again before
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: they kind of work their way up the map. Other
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: moves here, whatever thoughts you have. As I mentioned, Dobson,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the Habs faccess on the Stars a three year deal,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: dadding off with the Devils for a year, Charlie Coyle
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: traded to Columbus, Jonathan drew In to the Oiler Island
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: excuse me for a couple of years. JJ Petka to
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the man and of those moves that stay out to you.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: No, I mean Peterca. You look at Paterca and the Mammoth,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Josh Jones and Michael Kesseling. I'm a big fan of
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Michael Kesseling and have worked with him a little bit,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: and I think Buffalo did a good move by you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: you had to give up something. I think the ceiling
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: for kessel Ring and what they needed. And listen, it's
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: not always somebody gets fleeced and somebody wins. Sometimes both
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: teams can win. I think, listen, they got a good
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: player in Paterca. Do I think it's what they needed? Utah, No,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think they needed another skilled forward. They had
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: enough of those. They think they needed middle depth and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: at a high end centerman. They weren't able to secure that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: So they have a lot of good wingers. I just
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: don't know. They lose Buke's dad. I just don't love
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: what they did, and they give up Josh jon who's
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: a good a good two way winger can play up
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: and down the lineup, potentially as a ceiling to be
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: a top six, but he's a great, you know, valuable
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: versatile player. Michael Kessering was second and d scoring on
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: that Utah team when Sergachev was out and before Sergachev
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: came back and they were high up in the standings,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Michael Kessering was the guy they were going to playing
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: twenty five minutes a night, so he has the capabilities
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: to play eighteen minutes to twenty five minutes. I think
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: it's a big, big move and it really shores up
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: their top four in Buffalo, So I think it's a
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: good move. I think Buffalo is, you know, really locking
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: up some pieces. Ryan McCloud resigns there, and I just
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: think it's a It's a team that could surprise some
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: people next year. Now they it's only a win for
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: this team when they make the playoffs. So if they
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: just have a good season and miss it by two points,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: it's the same Buffalo Sabers team. But I like to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: move by both teams, more so for Buffalo than for Utah.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: And last thought for you again, Nikolai Eelers, according to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the NHL Network Research Department, the top free agent out
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: there a six billion dollar cap it. He turns twenty
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: nine years of age. Obviously was a key piece of
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Winnipeg Jets. Do you want to prediction on Nikolai Elers.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Oh depends, you know, a guy like that, a European
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: guy sometimes always favors a little bit more on the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: East Coast, family, easier travel. Uh, there's a few teams.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I could see him, you know, I could see the man,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you know, if the Rangers go and snag him up.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: But I don't know if the cap space. I'm not
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: a super huge like. I don't follow the cap a ton.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just like where I think guys should fit. But
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, looksten An Eilers could flip the script and
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: go over to in La or an Anaheim or or
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: you know, you got to think that. You gotta think
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: that Edmonton's and there's a lot of teams. He's a
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: guy that I'd said before, I like him more than
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Mitch Marner for the money that he'll kind of command.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: He's gonna probably command a ten million dollar deal. I
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: like that way more than paying Mitch Marner thirteen million.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I just think over time, he's just a winger that
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: can skate. He's not scared. Gets in the corners. He
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: did have he does have some injury issues, but I
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: think he's fixed it a little bit. He has had
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: some healthy years but plays power play plays penalty kill
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: and uh can can produce in the playoffs, So that's
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: a difference for me. I think there's a lot of
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: teams that could benefit from him. And if I just
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: gonna go and take a swing, I mean, Toronto's not
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: out of the mix either, No.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Amazing if the leaves get Elers. Just my last thought
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: on this, I was looking at the overall list and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: we were talking about getting a skinner help in the Oilers.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: As far as goalies, there really weren't like big guys available,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: right Jake Allen, Damn Ladar signs with the Flyers. Yeah,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: g orgyp samsonof Vanishek, But there's really not.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tight. You're gonna have to get somebody young
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: or I don't know, there's I think the time to
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: do it was last year, in the year before that,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and they you know, sometimes you just wait too long
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: to pull the trigger and and I just feel like
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: after what we saw last year in the finals and
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: how he got pulled twice at two different times, I
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: think you had to address that. So but they didn't
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: really do much. I don't know. I'm worried about Edmonton
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: a bit. I'm a little bit worried. I'm nervous.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Hopefully, hopefully the draft ends when it comes to Canada
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: as we uh unfortunate to live through that again. All right,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: good stuff breaking down all the transactions. Coming up next
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: being JD breakdown the biggest winner from the NHL Draft.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, it was not the format. We'll talk about
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the players coming up next. All right, NHL Draft is
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: a ton of fun to watch from Los Angeles. Uh. Interesting,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Before we get to the picks, I want JD's thoughts
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: on the way we'd go down. So what's this term?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: They use decentral line, so no one's there, so it
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: takes a lot longer, right for the guy gets picked.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I love the hug to Betman, right, Roger Goodell style.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: And then they got let me let me walk you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: back here, And all of a sudden, there's you know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Danny Breer and Keith Jones talking to Porter Marton. There's
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the brass. I got to be honesty, buddy, I know we.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Worked at the NHL.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I got it felt the awkward to me. I'm missing
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the guys in person.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Right. Here's here's what I'll say to that. The GM's
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: voted for this. Gary Bettman said all right, you guys
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: want it, all right, let's do it awkward not a
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: fan when it looks like you're walking into the Fortress
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: of Solitude like you're in Superman talking to Kyel and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: and the huge you know what I mean, That's what
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: it felt like. And then it's like, no one advised.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: The GM's like, hey, let the moderator talk first. Yes,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and then like also like maybe as you're walking, the
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: kid be like, hey, just just we'll kind of tee
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: you up. Don't worry about it, like just like don't
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: like half the like three of the first five kids
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: walk and be like hey, what's up. And then they'd
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: be like an awkward pause, and the GM would be like, oh, hi,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: how are you. They'd be like and then everybody'd be
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: like looking, and then there's like an echo and I'm like,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: great to see you. And then and then I can't,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: you know, I can't. I have to poke fun at
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: at at the Sharks where they had everybody hold Michael
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Visa goes up and there's sixty people standing and it
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: looks like they're taking a family picture. And I just
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: was like, I love the Sharks. I just like I
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: was like, come on guys like, come on, don't do
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: things just to do things. Come on, don't do things
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: just to do things.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: But a great point view. Don't rag on Gary, this
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: is what they wanted. Fine, give you guys what you want.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Gary did not want this and that I've and you know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I think he wanted to keep it the way it was.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was at the draft in the sphere
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: that was absolutely incredible where you could just walk over
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: to guys and tap on their shoulder. I know that
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: there's more calmness for the gms to make moves, but
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think anything really other than you know, making
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: the moves of you know, the draft. You're trading draft
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: picks and that that kind of gets a little bit squirrely.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: So you get a really bound. It's around and you
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: have to be you have to have a war room
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: set up. So I understand there's a little bit of
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: a disconnect there and I get it. But listen, they
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: tried it.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was right.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I don't love it. It extended it. It was too long.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, four and a half hours is crazy for the
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: first three hours.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Not a round of golf here. This is just for
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: picking some kids and everybody already knows who they're picking. Yeah,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: other than like there's a couple, you know, some people
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: throw people off on the board, and there's like some
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: random trades and stuff. But like the first five, it's
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: like you can just hand in a card and be like, yeah,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: you know, probatherly than James Hagen's you dropped down.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: But I was about say, the only surprise he was
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Hagen slipping. But let's talk about Matthew Schaeffer, who was
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: a great, great story. I mean, he hit a tough year,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: various elements. You only played seventeen games last year, miss
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: nine games started the year due to mono. He was
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: injured in the World Junior's missed three plus months due
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: to broken collar bone. But everyone anticipated he'd go number
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: one overall and gone through at a hard times at
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: a young age. He lost his mom, Jennifer, to breast
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: cancer February of twenty twenty four.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Says he says a.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Prayer before every gamulor no. He misses her and loves her.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: You know, mom used to play hockey with the kids,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: strapping on goalie pads at time, and it's obviously been
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: a lot to go through it. It was an emotional moment.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: He goes up there, obviously the tears are coming down,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and the jersey even has the patch there as far
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: as you know, hockey cares for cancer. So classic move
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: by the Islanders and a really cool moment for Matthew Shaeffer.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's hard not to have a tears
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: streaming down your face and get emotional hearing that, you know,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: especially being an athlete, and you know our moms are
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: so integral to our careers, and it was just such
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: a sad, you know, joyous moment. They're very bittersweet, I'm
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: sure for him, and you just saw the emotion pouring
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: out of him, and for sure he held it together
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: probably as best he could. But just an amazing moment
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: for him and his family. I know there's some tough times,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: you know, You've just and I've heard him speak multiple
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: times down interviews and watch a lot of his interviews.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Just such a well spoken, outspoken young man and just
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: understands and is so thoughtful in his conversation too. And
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: he looks you in the eye when he's talking to you,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: and he's just very very mature for his age, and
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: he's got a bright future ahead of him. I'm very
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: bullish on him as a player and as a human being.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: And it's just those stories that you root for in
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: the NHL, and you know, not listen, everybody has, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: loss in their life and it happens and it's part
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: of life. But you know, this kind of thing at
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: a young age and in that moment is just you know, magnified,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: especially him being such a highly toted prospect. So he
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: handled it so well with grace and made his mom proud,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, and his billet mom proud, and that whole
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: family should just be so proud of the man that
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: he is and the young man he is. And we
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: can kind of only help our children and kids have
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: that kind of strength mentally and emotional wherewithal to kind
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: of just be in the moment like that. So, you know,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: credit to credit to the Islanders forgetting a really, really
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: good one and it's going to be a foundational piece
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: for your team and a foundational leader just by listening
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: to talk for a long time.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but two months for his mom, Jennifer passed away.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: His mom, Emily died. You mentioned the fact looks every
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: in the eye. Our buddy, Mike Kelly tweeted that when
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Shaeffer talked to everybody at the desk, he shook hands with
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: like all the audio guys, the camera guys, right, just
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: a little move, they just show little class.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: He's clearly a good kids my move.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he can shake sail over the crew. Yeah, a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: virtual handshake. One of the one of the drafts, Prognoscio
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: says schaff is the number one defense prospect in this
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: draft class. He's the complete package, playing a dynamic style
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: that generates results and influences the outcome of games. Easily
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: projects as a future All star in the NHL. Natural
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: born leader who oozes charisma. Defensive intensity has improved considerably
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: this year. Elite skater, elite processor.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Matthew Shafm. We had Mark tier Dano on the network
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: and he skates with Shaeffer and he was like, this
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: kid's for real. And that's high praise coming from Mark
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: tier Dano. Uh, you know Noris Trophy winner. He was like,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: he gets it. He knows how to play both sides
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: of the park, can skate very quick, fast, good hands,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, great stick. Oh I love a good poke
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: check and he's got that in spades.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Favorite pregame meal Matthew shav chicken, posta and broccoli. Also
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: needs a two hour and nap before games. That sounds
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: like a hockey player enjoys singing and dancing. Is a
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: huge Rihanna fan. From there we go to.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Mike Gana worst concert I ever been to my life.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Oh really, lips played lipsyacing the entire time.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Yep. She middle of a song, reached down as the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: track was going over and like took a sip of water.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Oh Jess.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I was like, just I should leave right now. I
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: have contact hies, so I have a stone ont of minds.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I couldn't move.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I want to thought on your boy, Michael Mesa going
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: to the Sharks the pride of Oakville, Ontario. What if
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: nine players ever to receive CHL exceptional status. He had
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: two point oh six points per game this year, the
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: highest by an under eighteen Ohl skaters since Connor McDavid
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: grow up. A huge Leaves fan, patterns game after Mitch Marner.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: As a kid, wore sixty six and he loved Mario Lemux.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: When not playing HOWK golf, Billiard's paintball, and learning to
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: play the guitar and my favorite nugget is uncle Lucio
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: played hockey in several Olympic Games for Italy. What do
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: you got on Michael Mesic all the Sharks?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Highly skilled, iley skilled forward, great release that Listen. There
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: was a lot of talk of like, will it be
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: somebody else? Will it be Hagans, will it be Martone?
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: You know, do the Sharks go off the board? They
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: took the best player available at two smart play by
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Mike Career and that staff. Uh, that's the guy you
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: need to bring in. They have some very, very highly
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: skilled forwards right now, and they could turn their attention
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: now to fixing the defense and making sure that they
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: bring in a bunch of young or older guys because
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: they're they're really rounding out their offensive forward group there.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: And he's going to be a huge piece and he's
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have an immediate impact for this team.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: And yeah, he's a good player of good size on
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: him too. I like it a lot. And San Jose Man,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I think the turnarounds me a lot quicker than people think.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I like it your Sharks, let's go by the way.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I want to also mention Caleb Danioier because in terms
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: of the most awkward moments in terms of talking with that.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Was hysterical, so weird.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Of course the Utah Bill Armstrong.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Then, by the way, Caleb Danioie, he said his favorite
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: activity outside of hockey is fishing. Favorite protein the Montreal
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Alouette's favorite subject in school English because it's easier than French.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: How about that tal like that?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: There you go Caleb.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Favorite yeah, played from monked favorite pump up song. By
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the way, Burning Heart by Survivor, which is also a
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Rocky four tune. There it goes, love Porter Martungle to
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the Flyers. He needed some size, needs some scale. Obviously
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: really happy with that pick. Some comps to Corey Perry,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I heard Kevin Weeks sing about the badcast. Some people
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: say maybe more like a right handed Matthew could chuck,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: but looks like a really good player. You mentioned Hagen's
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: though he was the guy that at one point, I
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: think you're right to say he wasn't gonna go first.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Different kind of new it with Shaffer, but a lot
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: of people have him going third. Potentially obviously played at
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Boston College. Some comps to Clayton Keller slides a little
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: bit like it wasn't you know, it wasn't sirdhurt Sanders,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: but did fall to seventh to like he went to
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the third round, but still falling to the Boston Bruins
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: at seven. I was surprised your reacts to the fact
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Hagen's who clue looks a really good player, just didn't
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: go in the top six.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I got to interview this guy twice. I tell you
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: what you want to talk about a kid that maintains
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: eye contact and is very well spoken and is very
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: very polished, so much so that I think him falling
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: that far as a mistake. He's very mature for his age,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: and I really liked what I saw, very very firm handshake,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: very good, very thoughtful in what he's saying and what
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: he's speaking, you know, really acknowledges his family, but acknowledges
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: that he's willing to do anything or do anything for
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: the team. You know, obviously, listen, those are the cliche answers,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: but you know when a guy's bullshitting and when of
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: guy's being honest. And I do think he's going to
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: take this as a slight and really use it to
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: prepare himself. So I think Boston somehow luckily fell ass
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: backwards to a great talent and then managed to after
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: they just screwed the pooch all year. I think they
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: go lucky. I think they got lucky getting him, and
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: it's a good pick that they fell to him, and
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I think he's a good future, very very good player
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: for this team.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Hagen's grew up Suffolk County, Long Island, big Islanders fan
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: with to tons of Ales games. As a kid, John
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Tavares was his favorite player, played football lacrosse as a
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: kid during the summers. He's the captain of a fishing
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: charter called Captain lou Fleet. He's the toughest task in
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the boat by the ways, untangling fishing lines. But clearly
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: he's a guy who likes to get after it. Loves
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: country music, especially Sam Barber and Florida Georgia Line. Didn't
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: know they were big in Long Island.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, Dad makes him work the boat still to this
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: day when it's pretty funny. Yeah, yeah, all right.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: So that was his draft, honestly, a ton of fun.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Congrats all the players who were drafted, and I'm with you.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get back to the format we've seen in
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the past, but they tried something different. Hope of the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: players who wished the much success moving forward, who's.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Your biggest winner of the draft?
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's the Islanders, honestly, not just getting obviously Shaeffer,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: but three picks over all the first round.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: They did good. They picked all good players. Yeah, so
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Rachool on the way, Yeah, they're good. Matthew Darsh is
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: cooking right now, Gas. I don't know if you know
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: that he's cooking, Chef Darsh with the pots on.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Nothing like a summer blockbuster being billed as the greatest
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: car racing movie of all time F one starring Brad Pitt.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: This is the that was the hype for it and
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the reason why. Of course you they go, Well, Lewis
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Hamilton's involved with the great F one drivers ever. He
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: was their special consultant. Joseph Kasinski directed, of course, he
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: did Top On Maverick, so perhaps the greatest car racing
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: movie ever. JAVIERD. Bergdam giving a little gravitas as well.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet, eager to see at some
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: point you're all over. Did just see it an imax
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: in Arizona?
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I did me and and uh wait this is pre
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Italy for her?
• 38:55

  Speaker 2: After it. Yeah, she's she's not. It's the summer of
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: jail right now, the summer of jail. Yeah, having the
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: hell of a summer. It's all research. Everything's research, I
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: know it. We kind of both looked at each other's like,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: how do you feel about it? And uh, I liked it.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: It's a good popcorn flick. You know. It's a lot
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: like Top Gun The New You know that. It's just
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: very loud. The music's great, gets you fired up. Hans
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Zimmerman my friend. I love him. Anything you give me.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Hans zimmer on the on the I just would love

  Speaker 2: to pay him to serenade me for a night.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Tones. He Brad Pitt plays. Brad Pitt plays like kind
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: of a sexy hobo that has some like weight to
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: his life. And you know that he does the same thing.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: He's eating in half the scenes and he plays he
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: does the yeah, you know, just it's Brad Pitt. He
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: plays Brad Pitt to a t.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: My wife wants. He takes his shirt off, his.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Shirts off the whole time. Yeah, my shirts off the
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: whole time he's running. He's like a little aloof His
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: counterpart is very good as well. The Jonathan Pierce, the
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: guy that races with him, I'm not you know the names.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: And then the Irish lasts that plays the technical coordinator
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: for the team is very good as well. They have
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: a little love interest. It's nice, but yeah, it's good.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I think it. The weird thing is is it gave
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: me weird flashbacks have Driven with Sylvester Stallone back in
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: the day. If you've seen Driven or anybody that's listening
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: has scene Driven, it's very similar. It's like especially like
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: and I can't spoil the last scene, but like it's
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: very similar to like Driven of like, you know, it's
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: this older guy that's out of the game and they
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: bring him back in to help the young guy that's
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: kind of finding his way because you know, they're in
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: trouble otherwise they haven't been able to finish a race
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: and they really need to get this guy that has
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: all this talent to figure it out. And then this
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: kid just resists. The old man at this are being like,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: who's this guy? You're out of the game, you were
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: never was and being like, I can teach you some things, son,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: and then they and then the teaching happens, and then
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: near the end he realizes, oh, my god, this guy
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: he knows, he knows what he's talking about. And anyway,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: it's just one of those.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: The story not particularly original, but the executioner.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah a little bit, yeah it, but it was the
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: cinematography of it and the way they filmed it and
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: as well as the music and and and just the
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: action side of it was great. Was great, And I
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: just say it's a great watch. If you're a fan
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: of Driving in F one, I mean, definitely go see it.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: You'll love it. And even if you don't, they explain
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of it pretty well and they kind of
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: walk people through it that aren't necessarily like students of
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: the game. And I thought it was very, very very good.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I love the idea of the double bill because now
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I want now I want to watch it and then
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: watch Driven.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: That watch both.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: I want you because you have a good mind for
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: it and like you'll be like, oh, yeah, this is
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: this is exactly.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: But should I watch Driven first and then watch F
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: one or like I don't.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Know what, watch Driven first and then F one.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: It's the rule that f fun for me.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Like christ it's so much show that I like I
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: went on you know because like I'll go on Twitter
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: and see like if people are thinking the same thing
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: as me, So I like put like in the search bar.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: I was like Driven is like F one, and I
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: was trying to see if anybody was like being like,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: is that the same plot the Sylvester Salona's Brad Pitt
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: And it's the same plot, feels the same, And you'll
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: know the scene exactly. Watch Driven first because you'll know
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: the scene and you'll text me during F one when
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: the scene happens, you're like, this was ripped off.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I can't exactly now. Now I'm actually really excited to
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: watch that one scene what I ripped off? Plagerism is
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: going on, good old Hollywood, No new ideas. F one
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: currently in theaters. Final NHL coaching vacancy filled in Glenn
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Glisten named the Dallas Stars head coach. Served as Dallas's
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: head coach for two seasons before he coached the Flames
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: for a couple of years. He was an assistant for
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Edmonton the past seven years. Dallas recent signs Matt tew Shane.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: They did lose Gramlin As we talked about an koty
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: CC what do you make of this?
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got some work to do. I don't know.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: The Spider Man meme is like see different than the
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: last version. And you know they had they do have
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of youth in Dallas and jim Nail there.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: They're always great from you know, replenishing their team from
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: the miners, and they have these guys that just they're
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: just they developed so well and they draft so well.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: So I'm not too worried about it. I think they're
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: gonna be right up there with everybody. I think this
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: is kind of the last dance, last chance you for
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: second and Ben and this will be their last opportunity.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: So I think they're really going to go all in
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: as a team. Galardi and in this whole, this whole
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: franchise will go in to make sure they have one
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: last kick at winning or you know, if it's not
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: going good, I think they'll probably move one or both
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: those guys give them a chance to win. So I
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: could see Jamie Ben either going on one more long
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: playoff run or get moved as a rental and going
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: to UH attempt to win a Cup.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Long in the tooth you mentioned. Corey Perry obviously signed
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: with the Kings forty years of age, playing the cup
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: File five or the past six seasons. It's amazing. I'm
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: with you, like the King's like it's a nice little story.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: But I still don't know. I mean, they've got work
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: to get over the hump. No one's gonna say this
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: all right now, they're gonna be a team.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: I love Cody c s as a guy, but like
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: they give him sixteen what seventeen million or eighteen million
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: for four years?
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Well thank you. This segues perfectly to the what the
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: what the hell were they thinking? The probo off deal
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: seven years in Columbus blew me away, j D. I said,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: this guy, yeah, it's a second pair of defenseman. Yes,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe he's a number two yeah yeah. To me,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: he's a number three, number four, right, and I'm like
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: top three, top three seven years, like seven different pro
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: for off Like that blew me away. Like I was like,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: maybe if your teams on the costume like came in,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: we get the solid defense. Okay, fine, but Columbus, like
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: you're a borderline playoff team. You're two points back seven
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: years of ibprobra. It's a lot to surprise me that one.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I honestly had the double checkering that right, Like no
