  I'm not angry, I'm just furious. Never heard that one.
• 0:12
  Before, yeah, no, that, that was a lot.
• 0:13
  That was a lot. That was like that one time I
• 0:15
  tried to hijack Kevin's would. You rather Ohm.
• 0:17
  You did. You didn't try, you did.
• 0:21
  I just don't right into it and there was no turning back.
• 0:26
  Yeah, so I did it again. Whatever.
• 0:29
  I'm out of the playoffs and you guys are in, so I don't have
• 0:31
  that much sympathy. Yeah, but I'm not long for this
• 0:34
  world. Stop it up.

  I love how you guys have such are so traumatized by my 3.
• 0:42
  In every season, the whole season, you're just like, guys,
• 0:45
  I'm not even gonna come back next year.
• 0:47
  That depression is hitting me too hard and then you win the
• 0:49
  league. Yeah, but I love but I lost Dry
• 0:54
  Sidle Yoc Erickson Egg Special Nikov.
• 0:57
  How am I supposed to bounce back from that?
• 0:58
  You have a literal dynasty. Table.
• 1:02
  But if they were good, Yeah, sorry.
• 1:04
  Yeah. Wow.
• 1:05
  Yeah, that was correct. They still made the Stanley.
• 1:09
  Cup, Yeah. But have you guys thought about
• 1:10
  the fact that I really, really want to win a fourth time?
• 1:13
  That's true. No, he makes a good.
• 1:14
  Point. You will be like, I don't even
• 1:17
  know if we'll be able to handle it if you want a fourth time.
• 1:18
  I know 4 peat. Oh my God, it would be so sick.
• 1:22
  That would be not for us. At this point, I guess it's.
• 1:26
  But who do you rather win? Well.
• 1:29
  Go on, Jake, I mean. What's more?
• 1:33
  Epic Sophie's Choice. I don't know, I feel like 3 is a
• 1:40
  good number. You know what I mean?
• 1:41
  Like 5 would be cool, 5 would be cool, but I don't care that much
• 1:45
  for four. Wow, you know what I'm.
• 1:46
  Saying fight without getting to 4.
• 1:48
  That's that's true. He makes a good point.
• 1:51
  OK, I need to hear you say you want me.
• 1:52
  To win whoever is willing to give me more of a cut of their
• 1:56
  winnings. How about I put it this way.
• 1:59
  I offered you a trade that would want you to leave and Kevin
• 2:01
  talked you out of it. That's true.
• 2:03
  Yeah. That's not true.
• 2:04
  You you guys both asked for my advice.
• 2:06
  I didn't ask. I was like, I'll do it.
• 2:07
  And he's like, call Kevin on my way home and I'll let you know.
• 2:10
  If you have a counter argument. Yeah, I mean, I I'm sweating.
• 2:14
  I got made the decision. Alright Jacky, final answer.
• 2:17
  Would you rather win? I'll talk about it I'll talk
• 2:19
  about let's get into our Week 24 news and updates episode.
• 2:24
  So you all are doing well. I'm doing less well.
• 2:27
  I'm playing for scraps of who I'd rather between the between
• 2:31
  you two win. Wow.
• 2:32
  So this is where. We're at the Championship stays
• 2:34
  within the Bangor management team.
• 2:35
  Yeah, exactly. So yeah, we're gonna be doing
• 2:38
  Week 24 news, updates and maybe even a little tidbits.
• 2:42
  I hope so for Lucky. Yeah, so please, Paul, for that,

  album, podcast, wherever you get your podcasts and rate US five
• 2:52
  stars. Let us begin with the news
• 2:54
  stories elated bit. Josh just talking about his team
• 2:59
  for. Like 10 minutes.
• 3:00
  It's going to get progressively less angry, he'll say.
• 3:05
  Well for Roman Yosi officially out for the season, you could
• 3:08
  finally drop him off your IR. And to quote what Josh said off
• 3:11
  the podcast, I can't wait to stop seeing his stupid face.
• 3:14
  Yes. I just so.
• 3:17
  It's mocking me. I've tossed my like you.
• 3:21
  It's it's been a brutal, brutal year.
• 3:24
  Tonio see, this is I've only I think this is my third year
• 3:26
  having him and this is by far the worst year he's ever had.
• 3:29
  I think in fantasy since, you know, he entered the league.
• 3:32
  I don't know but. He has the face to be James
• 3:35
  Bond. Yeah.
• 3:36
  That's Swedish. Yeah, I could see that.
• 3:39
  But anyways, yeah, no, it's been an awful, awful year to have
• 3:41
  YOC. I'm not drafting him again next
• 3:43
  year. I know.
• 3:44
  Where does it go next? Year I know you're not supposed
• 3:45
  to make. Logically, it doesn't make sense
• 3:48
  to let the emotions affect your draft.
• 3:50
  Next year and it won't. But it will.
• 3:52
  I'm not drafting him next year. I guess if he falls far enough,
• 3:55
  like if he. Felt like you have a lot of
• 3:56
  other options. That actually makes sense
• 3:58
  though. I mean, he's pushing. 40 Yeah,
• 4:00
  that's it. Like who are you dropping ahead
• 4:01
  of him? Though I would say if he falls
• 4:03
  to the fourth round I'll grab him.
• 4:04
  Would you take Bouchard ahead of?
• 4:05
  Him, yeah. I mean, I've also had Bouchard.
• 4:07
  He hasn't been functioning this year so.
• 4:09
  Yeah, that's what. That's for sure.
• 4:11
  It's Macar. Yeah, Quinn.
• 4:13
  Hughes, Lane Hudson. Lower risk is going to go ahead.
• 4:17
  Of you, Yeah, once he should. Dalene.
• 4:20
  Yeah, Dalene for sure. Honestly weaker.
• 4:22
  There's been a monster. Yeah, for bangers, yes.
• 4:24
  Yeah. For points now but nonetheless
• 4:28
  forgetting somebody, you drop them and he's off your sister.
• 4:32
  I would probably take cider, especially in a bangers league.
• 4:34
  Yes. Yeah, and his brother Dixon. #2.
• 4:41
  Jason Dickinson, Alfred this season also, just putting it out
• 4:43
  there. Who cares?
• 4:48
  Let's get on with my list of injuries.
• 4:49
  Leondra Settle and Connor McDavid out for the.
• 4:53
  This is This is like, imagine making your fantasy semifinals
• 4:59
  or quarter finals or finals, and then they're just the two top
• 5:04
  picks. Josh is just staring at me.
• 5:05
  I gotta look. At Imagine I'm living it.
• 5:08
  And then they're just out. Dreidel literally has been the
• 5:11
  best player. Like, yeah, I mean, the two of
• 5:15
  them are like the two best, like very close together, you know,
• 5:18
  all year. And then he literally like, he
• 5:21
  hasn't missed a single game all year, and then he decides to
• 5:23
  miss the one week that matters most to pretty much everyone.
• 5:26
  So that's great. I mean that he's gonna come back
• 5:28
  next week, but you know, most of us will probably be eliminated
• 5:30
  without him. So yeah, Yeah, Anyways, I'm
• 5:32
  fine. But I will I will say on on
• 5:35
  these guys. So the news is that Dry Saddle
• 5:38
  is definitely has a shorter timeline than McDavid.
• 5:40
  Yeah, I just saw that the coach said McDavid might be out a bit
• 5:43
  longer than expected. I wouldn't be surprised if he's
• 5:45
  like honestly out for the rest of fantasy season, You think?
• 5:47
  Yeah, I think. If your Week 25 championship.
• 5:50
  Honestly like if he only is healthy enough to come back week
• 5:54
  25, why wouldn't they just rest him until the playoffs at that
• 5:57
  point? An excuse, you know.
• 5:59
  I don't know, I I. Wouldn't be prisoner McDavid?
• 6:01
  I wouldn't be surprised if McDavid misses the rest of the
• 6:04
  regular season. Definitely fantasy season,
• 6:06
  definitely week 24. I don't think he's coming back
• 6:08
  next week. I'm very confident about that
• 6:10
  dry saddle. They said he should be back
• 6:12
  within a week. They said that today, which was
• 6:15
  Wednesday, and their next game, their first game next week is
• 6:19
  Tuesday. So I'd be surprised if he misses
• 6:21
  any games next week. But I'd also be surprised if he
• 6:23
  comes back for any games this week.
• 6:25
  So you got to survive if you're a dry side owner like me, I
• 6:28
  mean. There's no real pivoting out of
• 6:30
  it. Obviously, no, you can't.
• 6:31
  There's no replacement. You need like 2 1/2 layers.
• 6:34
  Yeah, 2 1/2 men. Exactly.
• 6:38
  He he just so useful with the centre left wing in the
• 6:40
  faceoffs. He does literally everything.
• 6:42
  Yeah, he does. I mean, I was just gonna say
• 6:44
  like, we have to start a conversation.
• 6:45
  Do you? This is Connor McDavid, the sure
• 6:47
  one-on-one in your league next year.
• 6:49
  I think he was he. Was like I think.
• 6:51
  Unnoticeable step behind McKinnon and dry settle this
• 6:54
  year. I think it's very scary to have
• 6:55
  the 1st overall pick and not pick McDavid because.
• 6:58
  If you have done. It if he if he does it like his
• 7:01
  normal thing, which he's done every year except for this year,
• 7:04
  you feel like an idiot, you know, but like.
• 7:07
  Logically, we're seeing these other guys can also, yes, space,
• 7:10
  though, that's the. Logic is the first thing.
• 7:13
  And. Honestly, Drysdale is better
• 7:14
  than McDavid this year. Who knows what's gonna be next
• 7:16
  year, but dry saddle has the dual position and was better.
• 7:20
  Yeah, I don't know. Look, all I'm saying is I
• 7:24
  probably don't have the guts to not take McDavid first overall,
• 7:27
  but I'll probably just look at the playoff schedule.
• 7:28
  Yeah, exactly. Playoff schedule.
• 7:30
  Whichever 1 is a better schedule I'll take.
• 7:31
  Yeah. Yeah, if it's the same.
• 7:33
  Problem. I think we're on the same team
• 7:34
  at this. Point falls to three.
• 7:36
  Yeah, I'd be so. Happy and honestly, that makes.
• 7:39
  The third biggest, probably the best pictures.
• 7:41
  Of gonna say yeah easily. Easily tired a lot.
• 7:44
  Yeah, it's like a big drop off to four as well. 4th pick is
• 7:48
  Matthews. Kucherov, probably Matthews and
• 7:52
  like a face I think Bangers league, but yeah.
• 7:54
  In points, points good for sure, yeah.
• 7:56
  I mean, even in our league, I feel like coach deserves to go
• 7:58
  ahead of Matthews, yeah. I guess it's.
• 8:01
  Possible because Matthew's got the goals, right?
• 8:03
  But yeah, if Matthews doesn't get the goals, Matthews.
• 8:05
  Can't get 70 goals though, you know what I mean?
• 8:07
  That's just incredible. That's one thing that makes
• 8:10
  them. Super.
• 8:11
  Yeah, we'll see. But I mean, I like the third
• 8:14
  overall pick next year. I think that's the sweet spot.
• 8:16
  This year I had 4th overall and I got dry, so that's a really
• 8:20
  nice spotted one first. Yeah, first, but before.
• 8:22
  You. Yeah, it was McDavid, McKinnon,
• 8:24
  Matthews and then decide. Yeah, alright.
• 8:26
  We'll move on to the next. Point just to say for Oilers,
• 8:29
  the two guys taking their spot on power play one are Jeff
• 8:31
  Skinner and Victor Arvidson. But honestly, power play ones a
• 8:33
  lot less exciting when we gonna try settle on there.
• 8:36
  So I'm not like dying to pick them up.
• 8:37
  Especially Edmonton doesn't have a great schedule.
• 8:39
  But Ninja has been the guy like he's been.
• 8:41
  He's went God Mode. For years.
• 8:42
  But that's not a pickup obviously.
• 8:43
  That's just if you have on your team, you're just very happy.
• 8:45
  You know, like this is more IRL than fantasy.
• 8:48
  I don't understand why like they can't work with dry saddle at
• 8:52
  the same time like Ann McDavid there, you know what I mean?
• 8:55
  Like I can't understand why Nuge can't go God Mode when they're
• 8:59
  there. He has in the past, but not this
• 9:03
  year. You know what I mean?
• 9:04
  Yeah. Well, the tough thing is that
• 9:05
  there's only so much to give around, you know what I mean?
• 9:08
  Like there's so much, only so many goals that they're gonna
• 9:10
  score. Yeah.
• 9:11
  And so McDavid and Crystal Hocket by just being the best,
• 9:14
  you know what I mean? Like it's and also you can kind
• 9:16
  of tell and like, I don't know if you've experienced this
• 9:19
  actually playing hockey yourself, but when you're on the
• 9:22
  ice with someone who's like noticeably better, you kind of
• 9:25
  defer to just passing on the puck.
• 9:26
  You know, like even though these are all.
• 9:28
  Professional positions. It's just often, most of the
• 9:32
  time the right move is just acid to Leon or pass it to Connor,
• 9:34
  you know, and then that ends up that's why they have so much
• 9:36
  more puck possession and like, but yeah.
• 9:38
  Playing them on the offline so they better matchups.
• 9:40
  I don't know. I mean, he's an elite player.
• 9:42
  Nude. No, he's obviously.
• 9:43
  Overshadowed by the two best in the world.
• 9:45
  But yeah, all right, moving on to another superstar, Joel
• 9:48
  Erickson and Curl Kaprizov. Moving on to another one of
• 9:52
  Josh's players who's injured. Yeah, Joel Ericsson, Ek Yeah,
• 9:57
  they should start skating this week and they may be back as
• 9:59
  early as mid week 24. So the finals for many of you,
• 10:04
  late or mid, semis for others. Yeah, I mean, they've got
• 10:08
  they've got a four-game week next week.
• 10:10
  I'd be, I don't think they're coming back for the full week,
• 10:13
  but I could see them come back for like the Friday, Sunday
• 10:15
  games. So you might, if you've had them
• 10:17
  on your IRA for this long, you may be able to get a free two
• 10:19
  games out of them. Obviously they'll be just coming
• 10:20
  back from injury just for a while, so who knows how they
• 10:23
  actually do. But yeah, if you're not, if you
• 10:25
  don't have a Week 25, then I don't think you really gonna see
• 10:29
  much of them. Yeah.
• 10:30
  Would you waste an add on? Let's say Caprisa was dropped or
• 10:34
  was dropped. Do you waste an add on A2 game
• 10:36
  week? I would do it on Kaprizov
• 10:38
  another's neck Fair. I would like yeah, he's just
• 10:43
  that good that that I think it's worth taking A2 game week of
• 10:45
  him. Also, you pick him up, you stash
• 10:47
  him on your R and then you know it's a free two games because he
• 10:50
  only comes back whenever he's healthy.
• 10:52
  Yeah. So yeah, yeah, another one of
• 10:56
  my. Interests Where is fashion icon
• 10:59
  of otherwise known as John Tavares as sorry there was a.
• 11:06
  Trade, I'm happy about that. But between Josh and Kevin and I
• 11:11
  don't know, it seemed very even at the time, but I think Josh.
• 11:14
  I was one of those hesitant to do it.
• 11:15
  Josh was just like, it's on the table.
• 11:17
  Do you wanna accept? Yeah.
• 11:19
  And I was like, no. And then I was like, yes, yeah,
• 11:21
  Brutal. Just that was the worst day of
• 11:23
  his. Life suspicious day-to-day for
• 11:25
  He's been day-to-day for two weeks.
• 11:27
  He should be back Friday. But Dave said that for two
• 11:31
  weeks, so we'll see. It's like, so you hear this, I
• 11:36
  hear this in your voice, that's I'm reading it.
• 11:38
  But there's enough for two weeks, so we'll see.
• 11:43
  Do you know the amount of guys I've had this year that have
• 11:45
  been day-to-day for months? Yeah, it's actually insane.
• 11:49
  Valitchka was day-to-day out for like 3 months.
• 11:52
  Yeah. Especially has been day-to-day
• 11:54
  for the past two weeks. Yoshi was day-to-day and then
• 11:56
  missed the rest of the season. Technically, months and weeks
• 11:59
  are made-up of days. That's true.
• 12:00
  So they're just day-to-day to, day to.
• 12:02
  Day basically minute to minute. Yeah, Yeah.
• 12:05
  No, that's, that's really not great.
• 12:08
  I know what it's like. Yeah, no, it sucks.
• 12:11
  All my guys getting injured right in time for playoffs, but
• 12:14
  it happens. Canes.
• 12:15
  There's not really anyone I'm interested in picking up that
• 12:17
  like takes a spot on power play one because they're just like
• 12:20
  the line blenders constantly on. You can take Taylor Hall if you
• 12:23
  want, but like, I don't know, I'm not that interested even
• 12:25
  though you. Gotta he's been on a 6th St.
• 12:27
  though. Yeah, if you look at his game
• 12:28
  log, it looks pretty nice. Yeah, I'm not buying it, but.
• 12:31
  It's just tough guys with four-game week, so you probably
• 12:34
  that's more than his three-game week.
• 12:36
  But if you're in a, really. Deep, I don't trust any
• 12:38
  deployment from ROD ever. Like you can pick you could be
• 12:42
  mine one. Has no choice because you only
• 12:43
  have so many healthy players. Rod always has a choice and.
• 12:46
  He's the best when when somebody heard guys, he has to put all
• 12:49
  the best players together cause he has no choice and then they
• 12:51
  do well and you're like, if only they would do this when they
• 12:54
  were healthy. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:57
  But he just can't figure it. Out.
• 12:58
  I'm with you, though. Like, I don't trust him at all.
• 13:00
  Yeah. So there's no direct
• 13:02
  replacement. Yeah.
• 13:05
  OK. Moving on.
• 13:06
  Pablo Buchnevich day-to-day with an illness should be.
• 13:09
  Back finally one of my guys. Yes, yes.
• 13:12
  Not a reward, but yeah. Well, not not a.
• 13:16
  Reward. Yeah, Zach, Will Duke is taking
• 13:18
  his spot on line one. Power play one in the meantime.
• 13:20
  And he's been a beast, he has. Been the whole Saint Louis team.
• 13:23
  Honestly, the whole Saint Louis team.
• 13:25
  I mean, they're making the playoffs.
• 13:26
  They're making the playoffs for sure.
• 13:27
  Both their power play units get 5050 split both everyone on
• 13:31
  those two powerful units. That's ten players all worth
• 13:34
  rostering and opinion. They're just sick.
• 13:36
  They're really good and really fun right now.
• 13:38
  So this is, you know, who knows how long it lasts, but it's
• 13:41
  going to last your playoffs. So, you know, grab all the Saint
• 13:45
  Louis guys, guide them into the. Sunset.
• 13:47
  I mean obviously some were worth risking more than others
• 13:49
  depending on how deep really he is.
• 13:50
  Yeah. But I mean, buildup is getting
• 13:52
  you shots and hits and points. So like, he's really one of the
• 13:55
  better ones. Like I'd rather have buildup
• 13:57
  than neighbors wild Bush temperatures.
• 13:59
  Out, but that's the name should be back next game.
• 14:01
  So yeah, I take neighbors for sure.
• 14:04
  But unless it's one of those day-to-day to day-to-day things.
• 14:06
  Yeah, they've got a really deep team.
• 14:08
  I'd be curious. To see what they can do.
• 14:10
  I mean, this was one of the worst teams to start the year,
• 14:12
  right? So like what changed?
• 14:13
  Jim Montgomery is the GOAT. Yeah, like he should actually
• 14:16
  win. Like I love San Luis, but I
• 14:18
  think Montgomery should have the Jack Adams.
• 14:21
  Who? I mean, if they have made the
• 14:23
  playoffs. I know, but the Blues make the
• 14:25
  playoffs. If the Blues should have better
• 14:27
  than the should have been this year.
• 14:28
  Yeah, but also Montgomery was given like the Blues, like, you
• 14:32
  know, he was like giving a bag of trash.
• 14:33
  And it was like here work with this you.
• 14:35
  Know, I mean, it was it was a it was a bag of dusty.
• 14:38
  That's the silver Nuggets, OK? You know what I mean, Dusty
• 14:41
  nugs, Yeah. The best kind of nugs.
• 14:45
  Yeah, I don't know. I think they should both be
• 14:47
  finalists. Yeah, for sure.
• 14:50
  Yeah, I OK, let's move on to the next point.
• 14:55
  We have Elias Peterson out at least one week.
• 14:59
  Piece Tutor is now the 1C on that team.
• 15:03
  Yeah, pews, Pews. And I just spent all my fab on
• 15:06
  him to pick him up in my semifinal.
• 15:08
  Matchup. I got outbid.
• 15:09
  I spent $5 and Kevin was like, Nah, I'm putting 13 bucks down.
• 15:12
  I mean, there's contacts, but I think it was worth it.
• 15:18
  Hopefully, I think it's a really good.
• 15:20
  Pick We were a little too low on PBS last week in our mailbag
• 15:23
  episode. Yeah, for sure.
• 15:24
  I didn't realize how he was doing, but really the main
• 15:26
  reason why he's a pickup is because Patterson.
• 15:28
  Injured. And since since we last spoke,
• 15:30
  we found out that person is gonna miss like this whole week
• 15:32
  of Week 23 with Patterson, the Forward Alliance, I have to
• 15:38
  specify now, the forward, the one that's supposed to be
• 15:41
  better. But with him out, like pussy has
• 15:44
  just slot into exactly his minutes, getting over 20 minutes
• 15:47
  of ice time and he's looking good.
• 15:49
  So yeah, he's getting shots, face off wins and some points.
• 15:52
  You better goal scorer than assist getter which is kind of
• 15:54
  surprising. Yeah, that appears so hot right
• 15:56
  now. Yeah.
• 15:58
  All right, sticking with the Canucks, Thatcher in the ride,
• 16:02
  Demco returned from injury and got a win like an is also sick,
• 16:07
  so we expect Demco to start most of the games moving forward as
• 16:11
  long as he can stay healthy. That's a big a big caveat.
• 16:14
  You know, he's not good at that staying healthy thing, but you
• 16:17
  know, when he is, I mean, he's playing unreal like he's back.
• 16:20
  What this is he's in the middle of his like second game back.
• 16:22
  Yes, he's making crazy robs. Yes.
• 16:25
  Yeah, he's. Playing against me, yeah.
• 16:27
  He's a he's a really dope honestly at this point linking
• 16:30
  into drop with this. Link is also sick and he's not
• 16:33
  in the. Backup.
• 16:34
  That's it. Yeah.
• 16:35
  I mean, he's only not the backup because he's sick.
• 16:36
  But like, I saw the demko's, like, you guys need me.
• 16:41
  You know, we need to make the playoffs.
• 16:43
  I'm your only hope. Like help me Obi Wan, you know?
• 16:46
  I mean, I told you guys off the pod, but last year I had DeMarco
• 16:49
  who was sick the whole year and then he got hurt right before
• 16:51
  the fantasy playoffs and I lost because of that.
• 16:53
  And then this year he was hurt the whole year and he comes back
• 16:57
  the the week I play him in the fantasy playoffs and he's a
• 17:00
  stud. So this poetic.
• 17:03
  Do be like that. Did you guys got that?
• 17:06
  He's a phony. If you guys can I say it?
• 17:08
  This is a small, you know what I'm talking about.
• 17:10
  You read it? Yeah.
• 17:11
  Yeah. OK, I have it.
• 17:13
  There's a book called Catcher in the Rye.
• 17:15
  I have not read that. Yeah, it's basically.
• 17:16
  It's very good. Yeah.
• 17:17
  Holden coffee. Yeah.
• 17:19
  Kohl's answer. Yeah, exactly.
• 17:22
  Basically, it's just about how he hates phonies.
• 17:24
  So there's a Thatcher in the right.
• 17:25
  That's what I do. That's actually a good, good,
• 17:28
  good call. Yeah, very good.
• 17:30
  I'm here all week. Shea Theodore returned to the
• 17:33
  lineup this week. Hannifin is going to be bumped
• 17:35
  off, has already been bumped off.
• 17:37
  Power play one. And field is very valuable.
• 17:39
  Yes, yeah, Theodore is sick, but I mean he was.
• 17:42
  Nobody dropped him really. He's on someones IR and if you
• 17:44
  got him back, great. I mean, this is good news for
• 17:47
  Michael and her Stone. We've already seen.
• 17:50
  And four, I would say Hurdle, but he's also.
• 17:54
  Injured only. The only one that hurt I heard a
• 17:57
  little. The only one that is that's
• 17:59
  really bad for his Hannafin. Yeah, I think you just cut him
• 18:02
  and that's. It.
• 18:02
  But yeah, I know Vegas has been on fire, so just getting
• 18:05
  Theodore back is huge. Top do you think top four
• 18:08
  chances to win the Cup? Like who?
• 18:10
  I mean, they go through Oilers, Dallas, Colorado.
• 18:14
  Vegas is, yeah, but they're in a different division.
• 18:19
  I mean, they're gonna come out of the West.
• 18:20
  It's gonna be one of those teams.
• 18:22
  But their path to the finals would be first round.
• 18:26
  They're playing wild card, so it'll probably be Saint Louis or
• 18:30
  Minnesota, one of those two. Minnesota is an easy win.
• 18:33
  Saint Louis I'm really like, but I still like Vegas chances.
• 18:35
  That'd be sick if Saint Louis beats them.
• 18:37
  Yeah, that'd be nuts. And then if they make it to the
• 18:40
  next round, they're playing the winner of Edmonton LA.
• 18:42
  Yeah, I think LA would be them. You think so?
• 18:44
  Yeah. Every.
• 18:46
  Year. I know, it's crazy.
• 18:47
  It's like a thing. Just probably just playoff
• 18:49
  Tampa, Toronto. Yeah, exactly.
• 18:51
  It's just happening every year. Yeah, but, but yeah, no.
• 18:55
  So it's definitely a tough way to get there.
• 18:56
  And then if they win that, then they have to play either
• 18:59
  Winnipeg or Dallas or Colorado, whoever makes it out of that
• 19:03
  bracket. So not going to be an easy way
• 19:05
  in. The Western Conference is going
• 19:06
  to be a lot as the last couple of years.
• 19:08
  I think it's the same this year where a lot of teams that are
• 19:11
  deserving of a long run are going to get eliminated super
• 19:15
  early. That's what happens when you
• 19:16
  have a lot of good teams. As it happens, you have this
• 19:18
  ridiculous system. It should be 1827.
• 19:20
  Yeah, whatever. Yeah.
• 19:22
  That'd be that'd be. Fun.
• 19:23
  Yeah. Anyway, Speaking of the Golden
• 19:26
  Knights. Yes, William Carlson returned
• 19:28
  for the Golden Knights and Thomas Hurdle is out at least a
• 19:31
  week, as we mentioned. Before Vegas is so deep.
• 19:33
  There, yeah, it's. Crazy they are.
• 19:35
  One in, one out, you know? Yeah, yeah.
• 19:37
  So Carlson went on line 2 where Hurdle was, but he's on power
• 19:41
  play 2, and Olafson took a Hurdle spot on power play 1.
• 19:44
  So I mean, all of them could be an interesting pickup for next
• 19:47
  week. four-game week for Vegas. Yeah, if U Hurdle is gonna be
• 19:51
  out for that time and he's gonna be on that power play unit.
• 19:53
  I like that power play unit a lot for sure.
• 19:55
  So something to keep an eye. On I don't know, like do you
• 19:58
  think there's a world of hurdle plays?
• 20:00
  He takes it for sure. Or if.
• 20:01
  It's like an insane like he's been on the terrace.
• 20:04
  I just mean if they want to like, relax.
• 20:05
  No, there's no if he's playing, he's got power.
• 20:07
  Play on. There's no chance.
• 20:08
  OK. But yeah, you're right.
• 20:10
  I mean. That's the four-game on like one
• 20:13
  of the best power plays in the league.
• 20:15
  Yeah, that's the most roster. Yeah.
• 20:17
  Gabe Vilardi is week to week with an injury.
• 20:21
  On the bright side you guys get $0.05 cause.
• 20:25
  We. Yeah, and.
• 20:28
  The other right side I traded him away so don't have to add
• 20:31
  him to the laundry to the. Grocery list entries I have.
• 20:35
  You can hear that that these are less miserable.
• 20:38
  You can review this one. You can feel like the relief in
• 20:40
  Josh's voice. Yeah.
• 20:42
  Finally, an injury that didn't happen to me.
• 20:44
  Yeah, it would have if you didn't hurt.
• 20:46
  Him. I know your team was cursed this
• 20:49
  year. So we mentioned them again.
• 20:51
  I will take line one, power play one.
• 20:54
  I don't know. He had line one power play one
• 20:56
  last game and he didn't do anything with it.
• 20:58
  Do one of the worst outlines I've ever seen.
• 21:00
  It was like 1 face off. Yeah.
• 21:03
  After getting bumped up the line 1P1 everybody picking you up
• 21:05
  cause they're like alright let's ride baby and then you get like
• 21:09
  basically straight zeros. Yeah, essentially like flipping
• 21:11
  off everyone who picked. You up Exactly, exactly.
• 21:13
  That's that's why you have to always keep in mind like some
• 21:15
  guys are just not meant, not meant for it.
• 21:18
  Not meant for the spotlight. Exactly.
• 21:19
  Again handled. Yeah, they can't take the heat.
• 21:23
  Someone who can take the heat. Brad Marshawn might be back on
• 21:27
  Friday for the Panthers. Huge.
• 21:30
  Massive for everything. Please, that there's on.
• 21:34
  I want to say Sunday this week, the Montreal Canadiens Ohd
• 21:39
  Marshall versus the Montreal Canadiens.
• 21:41
  But not in a Bruins sweater. Yeah.
• 21:42
  Crazy Florida trying to get that first seed, Montreal trying to
• 21:46
  make the playoffs. Yeah, it's actually gonna be
• 21:47
  pretty fun, The. Ranking coming back.
• 21:49
  Yeah. Crazy.
• 21:51
  The way he. Said he's making the playoffs.
• 21:53
  The way you said Seed the movie Step Brothers.
• 21:57
  I have seen. You know the animal like welfare
• 21:59
  all goes like a lumberjack. You have traveled 500 miles to
• 22:02
  give him my seat. I didn't think of that.
• 22:08
  Is the Evan Catalina wine mixer. That's funny.
• 22:16
  Stay golden pony boy. Yeah, so I expect Marshawn to be
• 22:24
  in the top 6, I think be line one or two, even strength.
• 22:26
  The question is, is he gonna get a spot on power play one?
• 22:28
  I'd be surprised if he doesn't. And then the second question is,
• 22:31
  if he does, what does he take off?
• 22:32
  It's gonna be Sam Schumacher Bennett, and you know, if it's
• 22:35
  been, it's sucks if you own him. If it's a Muscovitch, you know
• 22:38
  you're not gonna wanna stream. Him, yeah, but it's great for
• 22:41
  shots and hits. Yeah.
• 22:42
  I've, I've like been skeptical of players going to new teams
• 22:46
  during the during the season because it's always difficult to
• 22:50
  adjust. Like Gensel did it really well
• 22:51
  last year, a few years ago, actually a few years ago when
• 22:55
  Giroud went to Florida, he succeeded quite tremendously.
• 22:59
  Team did it really well if you ask me.
• 23:02
  Got. Abomination.
• 23:04
  Carolina like it was, yeah. So it was North Carolina,
• 23:07
  probably the best trade. Crazy.
• 23:10
  Yeah, I mean, Taylor Hall is doing well as we mentioned, but
• 23:13
  basically, no, Yeah, it was a disaster.
• 23:15
  So the the one saving grace from Marshall is that on a very
• 23:20
  similar Panthers team, when Giroud went, he was able to
• 23:23
  succeed. So that could mean that you
• 23:26
  know, now that Marshall's there, who is also a super established
• 23:29
  player just like Giroud, maybe he can do super well as.
• 23:32
  Well, I think it's going to depend on his ice time to me to
• 23:34
  be honest because like line 2 maybe don't want to ease him in
• 23:37
  as well. Like, he might not start off
• 23:39
  with, like, the most minutes. I wouldn't be surprised, you
• 23:41
  know, coming off of injury. Like, you know, they're coasting
• 23:43
  to the playoffs, Yeah. But they are still fighting for
• 23:46
  something. Yeah, they're like hosting the
• 23:47
  playoffs, but they really want that number one spot in the in
• 23:50
  the Atlantic. So they're not playing for
• 23:52
  anything. So they're gonna put him where
• 23:53
  it works best. But they don't get it.
• 23:57
  So we don't get temperature. Exactly.
• 23:59
  That's exactly the only reason. Yeah, just like tired of
• 24:01
  watching that macho. Yeah, yeah.
• 24:02
  I'd love to see Florida Toronto in the first round.
• 24:04
  That'd be fun. Yeah, that'd be really fun
• 24:06
  actually. Yeah, that would be crazy.
• 24:08
  Yeah, the Florida would be like Toronto would be like we lost to
• 24:11
  like the Stanley Cup champs, whatever the first round.
• 24:13
  Then you'd see all the list of excuses.
• 24:15
  Yeah, they keep the core together again and run it back.
• 24:20
  Let's run it back. Let's give Mark twice as much
• 24:21
  money. No, you mean future Montreal
• 24:25
  Canadian Mitch? Marner Oh my God, that's so
• 24:27
  cursed. I mean, I think we're going hard
• 24:29
  for somebody in free agency so. Yeah, yeah, I.
• 24:32
  Actually think he'd be a great choice to be honest.
• 24:34
  I think he'd fit in great on top 6.
• 24:36
  Yeah, but I don't think it's the locker room vibe they want.
• 24:40
  And also like, I don't think they want to.
• 24:42
  They have this. Spend that much money on one.
• 24:44
  Guy they have this internal capital Suzuki where they don't
• 24:46
  want anyone being paid more than he's getting like 8 point.
• 24:48
  Something you only get such so the quality of player you're
• 24:52
  getting is only limited so high if you're not paying them more
• 24:55
  than 9 million let's say. Yeah.
• 24:57
  I mean, yes and no. If you do it like you get people
• 25:00
  who buy into the system, you've got a lot of.
• 25:02
  Homegrown, but let's say, you know, he's an elite talented,
• 25:04
  Yeah, like he's getting, he's getting like, what's his
• 25:07
  contract go. For like 13.
• 25:09
  Or 14 or 14, Yeah. And like, like, it's tough to
• 25:12
  build a team around that, you know, like.
• 25:14
  Yeah, it's takes a lot of these, but the cap is going up a lot of
• 25:18
  them in the next few. Years.
• 25:18
  I think he's like, he's like a Tier 2 superstar.
• 25:21
  Yeah, but Tier 1 is like five guys.
• 25:23
  That's. What I mean like so I don't
• 25:25
  know. If it's five, guys are
• 25:26
  untouchable. Right, for sure, but I just
• 25:28
  don't know if it's worth spending that kind of money,
• 25:30
  especially because there. Is if we have the.
• 25:32
  Room. Yeah, it's tough.
• 25:34
  It's tough. We have a lot of young guys,
• 25:36
  too. Because he, you know, what's
• 25:37
  special about him is that he's good on the PC as well.
• 25:39
  Like, he's really good defensively.
• 25:42
  We saw him and then he plays defenseman.
• 25:44
  There was like a real that was like a real serious.
• 25:46
  Thing you know he bumps Lane Hudson.
• 25:48
  I'll give you 1. Jackson Lacombe would both be.
• 25:53
  I think our listeners might not know that Jackson Lacoma used to
• 25:56
  be a forward. Wait used to be a forward.
• 25:58
  I think that's the new, the new nickel, you know, and people
• 26:01
  already. I hope director is relevant next
• 26:03
  year so we can just keep talking.
• 26:05
  About. Yeah, Seriously.
• 26:06
  Maybe he'll be a forward next year.
• 26:09
  Turntables. Yeah, alright.
• 26:11
  Evgeni Malkin day-to-day with an upper body injury.
• 26:14
  Not fantasy relevant. Wow, the Times.
• 26:17
  Have changed, I know. That's crazy.
• 26:19
  He was, you know, Once Upon A December, the goat fantasy.
• 26:23
  He was not the goat, but like he was always a top five.
• 26:26
  Pick for sure. Yeah, I know he was sick, but
• 26:27
  you know. Who's going top five in those
• 26:29
  days? In those days.
• 26:30
  I mean Crosby, Ovechkin. Jonathan Taves.
• 26:33
  Patrick Kane. Really.
• 26:34
  Honestly, tears with Kane, Jamie, Ben question.
• 26:40
  Mark that one year when he got the Ross, yeah, that was like he
• 26:44
  got it by getting like 80 something points I.
• 26:46
  Remember going into the 2017 season like, so like drafting in
• 26:52
  2016, I picked Jamie Penn over McDavid.
• 26:58
  Dave's rookie. Year it was after Big Davis
• 27:00
  rookie year, like Ben was a monster that was the best like
• 27:03
  #1 fantasy player for the past two years, getting, you know, 82
• 27:06
  points and then you. Heard it here first if you have
• 27:08
  the opportunity next year, Jamie.
• 27:11
  David not being the 1st overall pick.
• 27:16
  If he's 4th then Jimmy Ben is definitely going to be over 3. 2
• 27:21
  trophy was all monster. Back then, Monkey was not a top
• 27:24
  five. Pick maybe this was like Malkin
• 27:25
  was like 2-3 years before that. Nonetheless, like this is when
• 27:28
  John Tavares and Tyler say again, we're going in the yeah,
• 27:30
  yeah. So I mean, it was like 100 point
• 27:33
  player, right? Yeah.
• 27:34
  So anyway, so literally irrelevant now, and least but
• 27:40
  not last. Yeah, that was a joke.
• 27:44
  Jacob Chikurin resigned with Washington for eight years, $9
• 27:48
  million a year. That is massive.
• 27:51
  It's not. This is not now overpay.
• 27:53
  Yeah. I think it's a safe bet to say
• 27:56
  it's an overpay. Like he's got to live up to
• 27:58
  that. Like if he hits the ceiling,
• 27:59
  he'll be. That this is the end of John
• 28:01
  Carlson. Parkway one, what I was about to
• 28:02
  say. I think so, which is pretty
• 28:04
  reasonable I. Mean he's aging out, so I guess
• 28:06
  it makes sense. Next year they'll start it off
• 28:08
  with chicken on PP one. Yeah.
• 28:10
  Yeah, I guess I will say if chicken is your new line like
• 28:13
  power play one quarterback, you know, paying 9 mil for that is
• 28:17
  reasonable. You know, there's more the idea
• 28:19
  of him being buried behind Carlson then I'm like why are
• 28:21
  you paying that much for your second?
• 28:22
  But I could see that. I still think it's an overpay,
• 28:24
  but I mean, he's having a great years.
• 28:27
  Yeah, that's shocking to me. You know, like.
• 28:29
  Really. Well, just.
• 28:30
  Like if you get this length you usually get a cheaper.
• 28:33
  Price 77 would be sensible to. Me.
• 28:36
  I mean like I know this comparing to a really good
• 28:39
  contract but Jake Sanderson getting like 8 * 8 way better
• 28:43
  than chicken. I don't know way better.
• 28:45
  I think he's way better. I think he's yeah, it's, I think
• 28:48
  he's. Talking fantasy or talking like
• 28:51
  real? Real life.
• 28:52
  Real life, but I feel like both of their styles plates, yeah.
• 28:56
  What it does with Sanderson is that he's much younger than
• 28:58
  Chicken is. Not chicken.
• 29:00
  Told He's younger than I thought.
• 29:01
  I think he's like 27 I want to say.
• 29:03
  That's like peak. Yeah, like Prime.
• 29:05
  Yeah, exactly. And.
• 29:06
  That's Anderson's like 21 like that.
• 29:09
  So 2121. Yeah, four years ago, yeah, it
• 29:14
  was the Lafreniere year. Yeah, right.
• 29:15
  I think anyway, the yes, because Stutzel went third and then
• 29:19
  Sanderson went fifth. Crazy that year.
• 29:21
  What a what? A draft.
• 29:23
  That's absolutely. Incredible.
• 29:25
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:26
  Anyway. What did the hubs take that
• 29:27
  draft? Probably like, probably like,
• 29:30
  Yeah, there was a third question.
• 29:36
  Oh, I actually think that year. Anyway, no, maybe I'm wrong.
• 29:41
  It was the next year they picked Logan by you at the end of the
• 29:43
  first. Yeah.
• 29:45
  That last year. That was the year after we made
• 29:47
  the cup final, right? Yeah.
• 29:51
  Wait, what was the year that we picked the Caulfield in like
• 29:53
  that? Like the 15th.
• 29:56
  That you look at what? Was the Jack Hughes?
• 29:59
  Year. OK, yeah, you're right.
• 30:00
  Yeah. Anyways, yeah, so chicken
• 30:02
  resigned 8 * 9 and it's an overpay.
• 30:04
  But if you look at people were talking about like the cap, the
• 30:07
  cap. Yeah, going up a lot.
• 30:08
  Yeah. So now I feel like as the
• 30:10
  contract ages, it'll look better than it actually is.
• 30:12
  Have picked Guli OK. Yeah, that was at 16 to the
• 30:16
  right. Yeah.
• 30:16
  So I went 6th overall. Yeah.
• 30:20
  Went laugh. Who might be?
• 30:21
  Vaguely, Yeah. Yeah, Alexey Lafreniere, not
• 30:25
  Alex Laferri. That's the worst one.
• 30:27
  Wild Byfield, Stitzel, Raymond, Jake Sanderson Field is.
• 30:31
  Good talk. I mean, I feel like that's like
• 30:33
  one of the only drafts in recent years that the top five doesn't
• 30:36
  have, like a bust. Yeah, I mean, that's the only
• 30:38
  one where the Haps weren't in the top five.
• 30:42
  Dylan Holloway went 14th. That's.
• 30:44
  Crazy. Yeah, Yeah.
• 30:45
  That's good drafts. Yeah, when you look at it, to
• 30:50
  come into their yeah, to their prime.
• 30:51
  So we're seeing who's like, good, who's not?
• 30:53
  Good. Yeah.
• 30:54
  All this to say, four years prior to this, that's when
• 30:56
  chicken got taken. Now what this means for fantasy,
• 31:00
  basically, is that. Tyson is no longer relevant.
• 31:04
  For dynasty. Leagues that like it's so
• 31:06
  important for the fit. Like for instance, if you know
• 31:09
  there's a guy who went to a new team mid season, it's kind of
• 31:13
  like playing not so well. Then the next year he ends up on
• 31:17
  a new team. You know what?
• 31:18
  Like chicken was on Ottawa last year, obviously didn't fit.
• 31:21
  But going into last year, people thought chicken was the hottest
• 31:23
  commodity after Arizona, right? So there's always hope that
• 31:26
  these like proven very solid players can be good.
• 31:29
  And chicken was good in real life, probably even more so than
• 31:32
  for fantasy, but very good for fantasy this year.
• 31:34
  Couldn't I think he'll be like a top 10 fantasy defenseman next
• 31:37
  year? Yeah.
• 31:39
  I think I can see that. I mean, it depends how good you
• 31:40
  thinking it's gonna be next year.
• 31:41
  Yeah, I think I I still don't believe it.
• 31:44
  I still think they're a flash in the pan.
• 31:45
  I think everything went right for them this year.
• 31:47
  I'm not buying into Washington next year.
• 31:49
  Well, they have got like, they've got Andrew Crystal,
• 31:51
  right? Yeah.
• 31:52
  They picked him and Ryan Leonard.
• 31:54
  Yeah. I mean.
• 31:55
  There's other chicken or you'll see next year, OK.
• 31:59
  And I'm actively not looking to draft.
• 32:03
  The line it's Macar, Hughes, Werenski, Daleen, Yosi, Wigger,
• 32:07
  Cider. That's 7 Bouchard.
• 32:09
  That's 8 Hedman. Yeah, take Hedman over.
• 32:12
  Chicken. That's 9 Sanderson.
• 32:14
  I take Sanderson, yeah. Sergachev that's I think.
• 32:17
  Sergachev. That's eleven.
• 32:18
  Yeah. Adam Fox.
• 32:20
  Yeah, I take Fox 12. Shay, Theodore.
• 32:22
  Yeah, for sure, Theodore. 13 lane Hudson, Really.
• 32:26
  Yeah. No, I'll take chicken over.
• 32:29
  Here is that kind of like. Where we, I, I like him more
• 32:32
  than a lot of these guys. Like I like him more than than
• 32:35
  Josh Morrissey. No, Take Marcy.
• 32:37
  Honestly, I can't wait to do the draft.
• 32:39
  Yeah, I'll just Fast forward. Yeah, I'm.
• 32:42
  In the process of being like. I think I take him.
• 32:45
  I think he's gonna be in the headman range.
• 32:47
  Why wouldn't he be? I think he'll get drafted.
• 32:49
  There isn't gonna be that good. What he's he, he does shoot, he
• 32:54
  gets like just over a block. And then this year he's at .2
• 32:57
  power play points, .7 points. Like next year he'll be on PB1.
• 33:02
  That's like, really good. Yeah, like it really depends how
• 33:05
  good you think Washington will be.
• 33:06
  Yeah, I know he's gonna be a power play one quarterback
• 33:09
  defenseman. So automatically that sets him
• 33:11
  as one of the top 20 defensemen. I feel like this is like super
• 33:15
  relevant for where we're at in the fantasies.
• 33:17
  Like this is all worth talking about.
• 33:19
  No, no, no. But it's super interesting
• 33:20
  because at the end of the day, like, I guess this is kind of
• 33:23
  just like a sneak peek for next year.
• 33:25
  But there will be guys like this that, you know, kind of go under
• 33:29
  the radar that can tremendously help your team.
• 33:31
  And I think that's like the main take away.
• 33:33
  Shall we move on to our Would you rathers?
• 33:36
  List did you do? It we show alright, so the would
• 33:40
  you. Rather, what did you say?
• 33:43
  I wonder if even notice if you didn't like, like laugh.
• 33:46
  But I was. But then I was like wait.
• 33:47
  Don't worry about it, OK? Forget about it.
• 33:49
  Forget about it. Wait, what did you OK?
• 33:52
  So we won't find out what you said, Alright?
• 33:54
  Yeah, well, we're starting off on kind of a weird foot because
• 33:59
  I just picked up this guy and he sucks.
• 34:01
  So I feel like the would rather is this week are going to be
• 34:04
  tough because I went and chose guys around the waiver wires
• 34:07
  that are probably going to be somewhat relevant for your
• 34:09
  fantasy season, like your semifinal matchups or your final
• 34:13
  matchups. So who would you rather pick up
• 34:15
  right now, Pew Scooter or Coronado from Calgary?
• 34:22
  I'm going with Matt's Coronado and there's two reasons why.
• 34:28
  One, because you said rest of season, this isn't just for this
• 34:30
  week. Yeah, if it was just this week,
• 34:32
  I'd go suiter, but rest of season assuming and week 24, I'm
• 34:35
  going with Coronado. One in terms of week 24,
• 34:38
  Coronado's four games to suitors 3.
• 34:40
  And the main thing with Sutter is the fact that I think
• 34:42
  Peterson's going to come back next week.
• 34:44
  If Patterson was guaranteed out for the two weeks, I take suitor
• 34:47
  really OK, but I think the fact that suitors only as good as he
• 34:50
  is while Peterson is out. I don't think he's like variable
• 34:53
  without with Peterson in, but he loses a ton of his value.
• 34:55
  Also tornadoes on a huge hot streak and again the four games
• 34:58
  next week. It's gotta be tornado for me.
• 35:00
  Agreed because of the. Content if you're in, if you're
• 35:03
  in a bangers league that has faceoffs.
• 35:07
  Well I mean if you need the face off ones you know you could you
• 35:09
  could take. This point you're streaming for
• 35:11
  what you want. Yeah, right.
• 35:12
  So obviously take everything with a grain of salt.
• 35:14
  Like these choices were making are gonna be subjective
• 35:18
  depending on your league and what you need and where you are
• 35:20
  in your matchups. But I think these guys are
• 35:23
  probably like suitor without Peterson is probably comparable
• 35:27
  to Coronado. It's just tough.
• 35:28
  Just Coronado. Keep it up.
• 35:30
  I don't know, he only needs to keep it up for one more week.
• 35:34
  Yeah. Alright, he's been good for the
• 35:35
  whole year. I'm gonna go for.
• 35:36
  Now 2 next one William Eckland the goat or no the goat is Dylan
• 35:43
  cousin. Sorry, but William Eckland or
• 35:46
  Tyler Bertuzzi. I'm going acklands.
• 35:48
  I'm going Eckland. Too.
• 35:49
  I mean, they're in a very similar position.
• 35:50
  They're both top line, one power play, one on a bad team.
• 35:55
  Both have three games next week, so neither has a scheduled
• 35:57
  advantage's a better player. Schedule.
• 36:01
  Santa doesn't cover schedule but I just trust San Jose even
• 36:04
  though they're both bad teams. I trust San Jose's offence a lot
• 36:07
  more than Chicago's for some. Reason.
• 36:08
  Same here. Well, they they've proven that
• 36:11
  they could do well and win like. We've seen that, we've seen the
• 36:13
  points come in in groups though. Kind of, yeah.
• 36:15
  Jersey is on a hot streak right now.
• 36:16
  I understand why put him. I don't get a crazy question.
• 36:18
  Yes, but I feel like I can't just been so much more
• 36:21
  consistent. Yeah.
• 36:22
  Exactly like I had Bertuzzi for the tail end of his previous hot
• 36:25
  streak, and then it was straight.
• 36:26
  Zeros. Like if you pick up Bertuzzi and
• 36:28
  you put up straight zeros for three games, it would suck, but
• 36:31
  I wouldn't be surprised if I can do that.
• 36:32
  I'd be surprised. They assume you're getting at
• 36:34
  least some shots or at least one point, yeah.
• 36:36
  Yeah, exactly. So explain How about you?
• 36:39
  Kevin, yeah, excellent. From you as well.
• 36:40
  Yeah, I think is a better player.
• 36:42
  Yeah. All right.
• 36:43
  Third one, Mason Marchment of the Stanley Cup favorite.
• 36:48
  Dallas Stars or the one and only Dmitri Voronkov?
• 36:55
  Baranka setting it up. I'm going with the Marchman on
• 37:01
  this one. I've lost a lot of trust in
• 37:03
  Voronkov. I had, I held him for like a
• 37:04
  couple months. He got bumped off power.
• 37:06
  Play one with Monahan coming back.
• 37:08
  Yeah. And.
• 37:10
  Marchman is in power play. One, no, but powerfully, we've
• 37:12
  talked about this, a lot of power play 2 on Dallas is a lot
• 37:15
  better than power play 2 on most other teams because they
• 37:17
  actually get some ice time and they have good players on it
• 37:18
  because there's such a deep team.
• 37:20
  And Dallas has the extra game next week.
• 37:22
  Actually, they both games, yeah, but I'm still going marchment.
• 37:25
  Frankovich doesn't really do much if he's not getting points,
• 37:28
  so he's not that great for shots or hits or anything.
• 37:30
  Marchman, we've spoken about this a bit.
• 37:32
  He's inconsistent, but when he's on he has like he can have a
• 37:34
  crazy game with shots and hits included.
• 37:36
  So I think the upside on March 9th and the floor is both
• 37:38
  higher. Yeah, my, my thing here is the
• 37:43
  floor, mainly because I, I think that they I think if anything,
• 37:47
  Veronika has a higher ceiling actually, but I.
• 37:51
  Mean I think he could get back to line 1.
• 37:53
  At any point. He's on line one, he's not power
• 37:55
  play one. Yeah, it's that, that's. 11 I
• 37:59
  think he's playing with Marco and Monahan.
• 38:01
  I thought it was Ken Johnson. Let me check that real quick.
• 38:05
  For you I mean. There's now he's Franco if he's
• 38:07
  still line 1 and line one power play 2.
• 38:09
  So the Yogi Russian. So they both got four games next
• 38:12
  week, right? So, uh, just like recently won
• 38:17
  his past five games, he got one hit in two of those games.
• 38:22
  Zero and another. This is Marchman.
• 38:24
  OK Yeah. But then one game you had four
• 38:26
  hits, one game we had five, right.
• 38:28
  Yeah, exactly. Like his shots are two 03/02.
• 38:31
  So like, it's like, it's nothing.
• 38:33
  But like that one game he gets a lot.
• 38:36
  So that just means that like his averages are gonna be good at
• 38:38
  the end of the week and all you care about is adding up the
• 38:40
  stats as opposed to, you know, like a per game thing.
• 38:43
  So I think that because Marchman could bring that to the table
• 38:46
  much more effectively than Voronkov, I would go with
• 38:50
  Marchment. I'm also a good Marshman.
• 38:52
  I just feel like, you know, Dallas is a better team, too.
• 38:55
  Yeah, exactly. And we've seen Marchman going
• 38:57
  hot streaks as well. So I don't think it's crazy.
• 39:00
  I think he has a better overall, kind of like he's a better
• 39:03
  overall fantasy ass. And then then Veronica will kind
• 39:05
  of feel a little bit more one-dimensional, who's very
• 39:07
  inconsistent right now. Yeah, it's also interesting is
• 39:09
  he's a monster. He's yeah, he's.
• 39:11
  Human being like. When he was on that hot streak
• 39:14
  that he was really, really good. I mean, the whole team was on a
• 39:17
  hot streak and he was part of it, you know?
• 39:19
  Was he hitting though? Not really.
• 39:21
  Not that much. Like why you?
• 39:23
  Know you see a big body, you're like, use it.
• 39:26
  Dude she's what is it like 64220?
• 39:29
  Or something like that. Crazy.
• 39:30
  Yeah, yeah. Not not like Marshman, small
• 39:32
  guy, but like, yeah, you know, and Voronkov is just like an
• 39:36
  absolute unit. He's 24 only.
• 39:38
  Interesting, I didn't know that. I thought he was older.
• 39:41
  Because like when they come from Russia.
• 39:43
  Yeah, 65240 dating is crazy. My God.
• 39:50
  You're thinking like, like, you know, like break the ice and
• 39:53
  like, it's nuts. Now he's an absolute unit.
• 39:56
  He's gotta start hitting more like wow.
• 39:59
  Or hitting at all, period. That's true.
• 40:01
  Yeah, would be nice. Seriously, this is like Slav
• 40:04
  trying to be Patrick Kane instead of Brady to talk.
• 40:06
  Yeah, exactly. That's something clicked and.
• 40:08
  Yeah, it's like body dysmorphia or something.
• 40:11
  When he looks in the mirror he sees like a 5 foot eight person.
• 40:18
  That's pretty funny, actually. Like he sees, like, what's his
• 40:20
  name? Steve Rogers.
• 40:21
  Like Captain America. It's like, yeah, he was actually
• 40:23
  small, you know what I mean? Like.
• 40:26
  Wow, he was petite. You too, by the way, Kevin
• 40:31
  Marshman. Yeah, Yeah, Marshman.
• 40:32
  All three so far. We're on the.
• 40:34
  Same. I mean, we're getting to, you
• 40:35
  know, it's crunch time right now.
• 40:36
  I feel like the the options are. But I like all of these.
• 40:39
  Yeah, they're they're actually close.
• 40:40
  Even if we're all agreeing, like these are all questions I could
• 40:43
  see people having, which is what makes them really good, yeah.
• 40:45
  Exactly or last one, I tried to pick two goalies that are on
• 40:49
  waivers that are not necessarily great but that may get starts
• 40:52
  for you. So who would you rather between
• 40:55
  Lucas the Style or Sam Ersten teams?
• 40:59
  I'm going with the Dost wall. Yeah, I mean, it's assuming
• 41:02
  that, you know, Gibson won't eat into starts.
• 41:04
  But I mean, even Urson is not getting all the stats right now
• 41:06
  in Philly, and Philly is just awful.
• 41:08
  I don't know if you guys saw recently quoted by Tortorella
• 41:10
  where he was like, I don't want to coach A-Team like this, you
• 41:12
  know? Yeah, he said I didn't sign up
• 41:15
  to coach like a team. Like it was just like, you know,
• 41:17
  like I, I forget the exact quote, but it was essentially
• 41:19
  like, they suck so much. I came to coach a team that
• 41:21
  actually is trying to win, you know?
• 41:23
  Yeah. So yeah, no, they're just all
• 41:25
  crazy. Absolutely.
• 41:28
  Yeah. No, it's just a crazy thing for
• 41:29
  the coach to say. They're they're done.
• 41:31
  They're I'd be surprised if like I think their average goals
• 41:34
  against per game from now the rest of the season is gonna be 4
• 41:36
  plus. I mean, that's kind of what it
• 41:37
  is for Anaheim right now, too. Yeah, I trust.
• 41:40
  I like Anaheim a lot better. I think they actually have some
• 41:42
  hope. They have some good players who
• 41:44
  can do something. Do stalls actually like flashes
• 41:48
  of being good? Dostall, I think has more.
• 41:51
  Actually, no. They both had long stretches of
• 41:53
  being, of being really. Good.
• 41:54
  I mean, it's always like the best player for like the first
• 41:56
  like. Yeah, I said.
• 41:58
  I just like Anaheim a lot better than Philly.
• 42:00
  But I think I think. They're very similar spots.
• 42:02
  The question for me is, do you think Ersin gets more of the
• 42:05
  remaining starts than dust style?
• 42:07
  Because maybe that's what shifts it, you know, if you need just
• 42:09
  between these two goals for picking the quantity, right?
• 42:12
  So, but is the quality? Is still different, install gets
• 42:16
  more, maybe not more starts, but I think it's negligible the
• 42:19
  difference because on person's not getting all the stats.
• 42:21
  I would go with those still. I just feel like Anaheim is more
• 42:23
  fun. They're scoring goals to so like
• 42:25
  that's. More actually be able to get
• 42:27
  some wins, you know. Exactly.
• 42:28
  Yeah. And like, I mean, it's very
• 42:31
  close, but you're also just gonna have more fun watching on.
• 42:33
  Yeah, that's obviously not the decision maker, but yeah.
• 42:39
  Realistically, when I pick up one of these goals, I'm not
• 42:41
  watching that game. Yeah, I do not want to watch my
• 42:43
  goalie just get wrecked. But also week 24, right?
• 42:47
  So that's like the finals for most people.
• 42:48
  Philly only has two games. Yes, it's probably gets those
• 42:51
  two. Yeah, person would get
• 42:52
  Nashville, Montreal, so both beatable, but I also think
• 42:56
  they'd probably. Lose.
• 42:58
  Probably the worst. That's what I mean.
• 43:00
  San Jose, Calgary, Vancouver and I think that they can beat San
• 43:04
  Jose and Vancouver I. Agree, they could win any of
• 43:06
  those. Yeah.
• 43:06
  So to me this is yeah, the more I look into this.
• 43:09
  I'm So let's draw the line somewhere else.
• 43:11
  Would you rather just style or like just Anjari?
• 43:14
  I'm taking Dostall just because of Jerry's last game.
• 43:17
  I know, I know. It's like you shouldn't base it
• 43:19
  off just, you know, such a recent, you know, recency bias.
• 43:23
  But it was an awful game. And it's not like Ned's not like
• 43:25
  creeping there in the rafters waiting to steal some starts.
• 43:28
  So it's possible Jerry only gets one start next week.
• 43:31
  What about Alex Lyon? I mean because the rasic is not
• 43:36
  done. Talbots injured so I guess Lions
• 43:39
  they're only guy they can start because they traded away.
• 43:41
  Trying to make the playoffs still technically, kind of.
• 43:43
  Yeah, they just have the brutal schedule.
• 43:45
  Yeah. That's good.
• 43:47
  I think they have the hardest schedule, the meaning of any
• 43:49
  team. I'd probably I'd.
• 43:51
  Probably, but he's the only guy there.
• 43:53
  Yeah, I'd still probably. I I think those styles better,
• 43:57
  but I feel like logically you should go lying, Yeah, because
• 44:02
  like, like you said, Detroit's actually competing for a playoff
• 44:05
  spot and Lions gonna get all the starts because everyone else
• 44:08
  like he knocked out there, like, you know, their kneecaps or
• 44:11
  whatever. So yeah, I guess, I guess I
• 44:14
  believe, yeah, it's Italian. Yeah, Kevin, you, what are you
• 44:20
  choose? I'm going just all.
• 44:22
  Dust all over line. Yeah, yeah, I just, I've seen
• 44:26
  line be horrible as well. This.
• 44:27
  Season too, so I would yeah, that's a really close one
• 44:30
  though, Darren, they're all comparable but.
• 44:32
  Like vibes I'm going dostall but like I'm trying to like logic it
• 44:35
  and I feel like lying but you know it could go either.
• 44:38
  Way and this is a good one too. Just one Thomas Shabbat or
• 44:44
  former forward if you guys didn't know, Jackson Lacombe.
• 44:47
  I got through in here just for. Just to say that.
• 44:50
  That's what it means a little bit.
• 44:51
  This is tough because I like Lacoma a lot better than
• 44:53
  Shabbat, but Shabbat has the extra game.
• 44:55
  Yeah, but I'm going with Macomb. It's not everyone that could be
• 44:58
  a former forward so and then turned events.
• 45:01
  But I mean like it's a power play one guy on three-game week
• 45:07
  versus a power play two guy on a four-game week.
• 45:09
  I feel like they're they're backups are pretty similar.
• 45:11
  Not you're not getting much difference there.
• 45:13
  So it's really who's going to get more points, more power play
• 45:15
  points for you. And I would bet on Lacoma for
• 45:17
  Shabbat even with the extra game.
• 45:20
  Yeah, what will the shots and blocks difference, you know?
• 45:24
  Well, that's different shots better at blocks.
• 45:26
  Yeah, there's no doubt. About it, yeah.
• 45:27
  But is it like that big? Even uses.
• 45:30
  I think like a 22 and like almost like a one point
• 45:33
  something one point something. I think his blocks are below
• 45:36
  that, I'm not sure. OK, so.
• 45:38
  Anyways. I could see the.
• 45:40
  I could see the blocks being worth it.
• 45:42
  I don't know, I just feel like Jacob's a lot better than Asset,
• 45:44
  even with one fewer game. You're welcome.
• 45:48
  I know I had both. Yeah, Once Upon a time, back
• 45:53
  when I was in. Probably becomes a one shot 1.5
• 45:58
  block. Yeah, I'm gonna hmm.
• 46:03
  Is this, this is like we're we're talking in a standard
• 46:05
  bangers league, right? Yeah, standard bangers, league
• 46:08
  blocks and hits. Yeah.
• 46:10
  Probably actually Shabbat, even though, like vibes wise, like
• 46:15
  I'd rather look home to, you know, you've got the point
• 46:17
  ceiling. It's really nice, But like I
• 46:19
  think Shabbat can just bring more to the table for the shots
• 46:21
  and and blocks hits is going to be pretty relevant for both.
• 46:25
  Maybe like one will have a slight edge.
• 46:27
  I just like I think if it was 33 then I would pick Lacombe just
• 46:31
  because they hire point ceiling, but because of the extra game,
• 46:33
  like it's just a lot easier and like these are not like points
• 46:37
  studs, you know what I mean? Like they're like, look homes,
• 46:40
  just better and he's. Mean he has at least the
• 46:42
  opportunity to get the PowerPoint.
• 46:44
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I hear, you know, I would
• 46:46
  still go Shabbat. I just think, I just think
• 46:48
  you're going to be happier with the floor and with guys like
• 46:51
  this, like you're not really aiming for the ceiling.
• 46:53
  Yeah, I guess that's fair. And I guess, you know, Ottawa is
• 46:56
  in the playoff race. They're gonna be like, you know,
• 46:58
  playing their hearts out every game next week.
• 47:00
  They have a four, four-game. They're all at home.
• 47:02
  Two of the games are against like Buffalo and Columbus and
• 47:04
  they've got Tampa, FL so I could see Shabbat.
• 47:09
  I couldn't believe that one time I heard another announcer like
• 47:11
  actually say Shabbat Shalom. Like I was like, that was
• 47:15
  hilarious. Like it wasn't like RDS or.
• 47:20
