  podcast here on your radio home for Preds hockey ESPN.

  One O 2 five and one O 6 three. The game today is Monday October
• 0:40
  21st. Preds are still looking for
• 0:41
  their first win of the season heading into the final game of a
• 0:45
  four-game home stand on Tuesday night at 7:45, part of ESP NS
• 0:50
  Frozen frenzy against the Boston Bruins.
• 0:53
  My name is Max Hers from Preds radio along with Kara Hammer
• 0:56
  from Preds TV. Hello, Hammer Time.
• 0:59
  What's up Max? Searching for the first one but
• 1:03
  I feel like it's coming. It's coming.
• 1:07
  I'm not panicked yet. I'm not panicked either, but
• 1:10
  unfortunately the Preds are off to the worst start in franchise
• 1:13
  history. They are O, 5 and O to start the
• 1:16
  season. They are the only NHL team
• 1:18
  without a standings point and it has been sad to watch these last
• 1:23
  few games as the Preds have really done a ton of things
• 1:25
  right. They've had an unbelievable
• 1:26
  amount of chances. I think the one consistent story
• 1:30
  Kara across every game and and all the shortcomings the big
• 1:35
  guns have had their chances. And it's like, Oh my God, how
• 1:38
  are these shots not going in? How are those pucks getting
• 1:41
  saved? And they're doing everything
• 1:43
  right. And finally, since we last
• 1:46
  podcasted, both Jonathan Marshiso and Stephen Stamkos
• 1:49
  have gotten rewarded with their long-awaited first goals in
• 1:52
  gold. It it almost feels like they're
• 1:56
  a little bit snake bit. I think the last time we had
• 1:58
  this podcast we talked about how many chances they had that hit
• 2:01
  off the post. But I mean, you look at Stephen
• 2:04
  Stamkos chances on the power play on Saturday, Max.
• 2:08
  I mean, what is save on his first power play shot?
• 2:12
  It hit off the stick, bounced out.
• 2:15
  I think even Stammer was shocked how that puck did not go in the
• 2:19
  net. Yeah, and I actually got a
• 2:21
  chance to check in with Stephen Stamkos after practice here on
• 2:24
  Monday about that, just kind of asking him like I, we will
• 2:28
  interview Stephen Stamkos on the podcast at some point in the
• 2:31
  next month. I, I have a million questions I
• 2:34
  could ask him about the dynamics of his shooting process and shot
• 2:38
  location and aim and release and every single part of it.
• 2:42
  I could ask him questions until he literally would walk away
• 2:44
  from me, which probably at some point will happen to me in an
• 2:47
  interview and maybe it'll happen in this one.
• 2:48
  But I asked him today, like, we'll save the rest for later.
• 2:51
  But is that something that happens to you a lot?
• 2:53
  Like 'cause you take so many shots from the same spot?
• 2:56
  Like our goalies gonna do crazy things like that against you,
• 2:59
  Use the knob of their stick to make really loud paddle saves.
• 3:03
  And his answer was not really, basically that was a lucky save.
• 3:07
  So you're spot on. Yeah, it felt like I, I think
• 3:11
  everybody was shocked. We definitely were on the
• 3:15
  broadcast team. But then Max they came out to
• 3:17
  start the the period, they still were on the man advantage and he
• 3:21
  picked up his first goal in gold.
• 3:23
  Yeah, and it was a beautiful goal.
• 3:24
  Philip Forsberg with amazing movement to set it up five on
• 3:27
  three. The goal was technically scored
• 3:29
  five on 4, but #4 was not back into the penalty kill at all.
• 3:34
  That was quite a moment for the Preds.
• 3:35
  A5 on three split by the period break, trailing by a goal
• 3:40
  against the Red Wings. Still looking for their first
• 3:42
  win of the season in game #5 Five of the best players in
• 3:46
  Preds history had an entire intermission to think about it
• 3:49
  after coming oh so close at the end of the second twice.
• 3:54
  And they got it to go. So that deserves a lot of
• 3:56
  credit. I think Kara, that is a pressure
• 3:59
  packed moment for a group that is squeezing their sticks and it
• 4:02
  led to the breakthrough. They didn't crumble under the
• 4:04
  pressure. Yeah, that was an amazing
• 4:07
  moment. And for me, Max, that wasn't
• 4:09
  even the highlight of that game. That had to come when Luke Shen
• 4:13
  scored a goal after receiving the Silver stick for playing in
• 4:17
  his one thousandth game on Thursday night.
• 4:20
  Unreal, Unreal Second goal as a Predator for Luke Shen.
• 4:25
  He had one last season. He's now got 44 goals in 1001
• 4:32
  NHL regular season games. And this was a beautiful goal.
• 4:36
  Working with the Preds top line. Philip Forsberg, Ryan O'Reilly
• 4:39
  and Gus Nyquist had an incredible shift.
• 4:42
  O'Reilly passed it back up the wall to Shen, who took a little
• 4:45
  tiny half clap load for the one timer and buried it through
• 4:50
  Philip Forsberg's tip attempt. And my favorite part about the
• 4:53
  goal? Kara, as soon as it went in,
• 4:56
  Philip Forsberg turned around with a big smile under that
• 4:58
  stash and pointed to make sure everyone in the arena knew that
• 5:03
  he did not tip that puck. And that was Mr. 1000's goal,
• 5:06
  Luke Shen, and everybody was laughing the whole time.
• 5:10
  I feel like you couldn't write a better script.
• 5:13
  I mean, you come out on the ice, you receive your silver stick.
• 5:16
  He has his family out. Penalty box radio showed a shot
• 5:22
  of him and he was tearing up on the bench when they were
• 5:25
  playing. The video of the guys talking
• 5:27
  about him, what it's been like for a lot of these NHL players
• 5:31
  and his family members, you know what it's like playing with him
• 5:34
  on the ice. And obviously we heard from his
• 5:36
  kids too, about what a great dad he is.
• 5:39
  The video before the game, which aired on the scoreboard and on
• 5:42
  Preds TV, was so cute. He has such a beautiful family,
• 5:46
  his wife Jess, his kids Kingston Weston and Romy.
• 5:51
  His parents Jeff and Rita were also on the ice with him.
• 5:54
  We got to go to the Shen boys here.
• 5:56
  Kara. I know a lot of people saw this
• 5:58
  on the scoreboard or on TV already, but there are no cuter
• 6:02
  shout outs than this. We're going to start with his
• 6:04
  oldest son who really should be named Luke Shen Junior because
• 6:07
  he looks and demotes and moves exactly like his dad.
• 6:11
  This is 7 year old Kingston Shen congratulating his Pennsylvania.
• 6:15
  Dad, congratulations on 1000 game.
• 6:18
  And the thing I really love about you is that you block
• 6:22
  thoughts and you're a really good body checker and I love you
• 6:27
  and go prank. That's 7 year old Kingston Shen.
• 6:32
  And then here's the middle child, little bro, 4 year old
• 6:36
  Weston Shen. Hi Dad, congratulations on your
• 6:41
  fasting game. And.
• 6:45
  I love the body checking people. And.
• 6:49
  I love you my your team scores some goals let's.
• 6:53
  Go cats. Was that a little snarky?
• 6:57
  Why don't you score some goals from 4 year old Weston Shen and
• 7:03
  then Luke scored him. It worked, it worked, Weston.
• 7:08
  Incredible. Maybe we need Weston to come and
• 7:11
  read the lineup. Yeah, for Tuesday night.
• 7:14
  I think we actually played this clip back in the spring on the
• 7:17
  podcast, Luke Shen said on Smashville Live last year.
• 7:21
  His kids chirp him and we'll say, why does Jameson's dad
• 7:26
  score more than you? And that's Ryan O'reilly's son's
• 7:29
  name. Why do the other kids dads score
• 7:31
  more than you? Can you imagine these players
• 7:36
  out on the ice? And, and I don't know if you
• 7:37
  know this Max, but Luke Shen's oldest, Jonathan Marshiso's
• 7:42
  oldest and Ryan O'reilly's oldest all play on the same
• 7:46
  junior hockey team. That's a loaded group right
• 7:49
  there. And also Kara, how about Luke
• 7:53
  Shen, who's an amazing father, His kids being asked, what's
• 7:57
  your favorite thing about your dad?
• 7:59
  I don't think they asked them what's your favorite thing about
• 8:02
  your dad playing hockey, Just what's your favorite thing about
• 8:05
  your dad in general? Body checking.
• 8:10
  Body checking, I mean, Can you imagine what these kids are
• 8:12
  learning though, Max on their junior team?
• 8:14
  I mean, are the Shank kids out there body checking Marceau's
• 8:18
  kids? I think they're out there trying
• 8:19
  to outscore their dad based on what Westman said.
• 8:24
  And then we we don't have the audio of it, but baby girl Romy,
• 8:27
  who is a year and a half was very cute in the video.
• 8:31
  I don't think they could get her to sit still long enough to give
• 8:34
  a cameo. Kara you can relate as a parent
• 8:36
  of a soon to be 2 1/2 year old, but she made an appearance.
• 8:41
  It was very cute. I thought the I thought the
• 8:43
  video was was great. I mean, obviously we just talked
• 8:46
  about the emotion from him, but what a special guy.
• 8:49
  I mean, Luke Shen, Max, everybody in the league knows
• 8:51
  him. You know, if you miss a
• 8:53
  broadcast on Thursday night during that one thousandth game
• 8:57
  taking on the Oilers, nearly every single player from
• 8:59
  Edmonton came up and told Luke, Congrats, Congrats on your
• 9:04
  thousandth game. It was coming all through the
• 9:05
  game. He was wearing a mic, so we were
• 9:07
  picking up all the audio and it just kind of shows what type of
• 9:11
  player he is. That's awesome.
• 9:13
  Yeah, one of the many veteran players on this Preds group
• 9:16
  currently who is beloved around the league and one of the
• 9:19
  reasons why people are so befuddled by the Fred starting O
• 9:22
  and five. I know you want to give a shout
• 9:24
  out to another couple of former Preds who popped into that
• 9:27
  video, Scott Hartnell, who you got to see and a real OG Pred,
• 9:32
  even more of an OG than Scotty Hartnell, a year 1 Pred chemo
• 9:35
  team. And in crashing the video,
• 9:37
  Hartnell and team and in in a golf cart together,
• 9:40
  congratulating their former Flyer teammate Luke Shen.
• 9:43
  Hey Luki, Congrats on 1000 games my man.
• 9:46
  Well deserved. You earned a heck of a career.
• 9:49
  It was a pleasure playing with you and you'd be one of my best
• 9:52
  buddies. Oh, just wait.
• 9:53
  Oh oh hey, you were the best deep partner I ever had.
• 9:57
  Congrats. Welcome to the club, buddy.
• 10:00
  The camera fan to chemo got me so good sitting in the golf cart
• 10:03
  together. Scott Hartnell was at the game
• 10:09
  on Saturday Max. I was in the room with him up
• 10:12
  and happen Harry's. Scott was telling me that he
• 10:15
  read the line up so he was already amped getting the boys
• 10:19
  fired up going into this outing and I was right there when Luke
• 10:24
  Shin scored his first goal. You would have thought that
• 10:27
  Scott, that Scott scored the goal by his reaction.
• 10:31
  He was jumping up and down, drinks were flying, he was
• 10:36
  hugging every single one of Lucian's family members.
• 10:39
  It was total chaos and it was so neat.
• 10:42
  I mean, it was just like pure elation from every single family
• 10:46
  member in the room and just so much excitement in that moment.
• 10:50
  Oh, I love that so much. Yeah, Scott Hart and all.
• 10:53
  I mean, we don't have to tell the Pred fans how infectious his
• 10:56
  joy and personality are. That's so cool to see the past
• 10:59
  Preds reuniting with the current Preds in such a unique way.
• 11:03
  And also one big thank you from the soon to be Hockey Hall of
• 11:07
  Famer Shay Weber. Hey, Shaner.
• 11:10
  Just want to congratulate you on 1000 games buddy.
• 11:14
  Just a Prairie boy 15 year old coming to live with Barry and
• 11:18
  Inge and now you're hitting 1000 games.
• 11:20
  Pretty amazing buddy. Proud of you.
• 11:22
  Congratulations. Enjoy the night pal and.
• 11:24
  What Shay is talking about is the Billet family handoff in
• 11:29
  Kelowna. Shay Weber was moving out.
• 11:32
  Luke Shen and Tyson Berry moved in.
• 11:39
  He said that there's a whole group of them that they still
• 11:42
  vacation together or spend some time together in Kelowna.
• 11:45
  I think Blake Como was part of that group.
• 11:48
  He was at the game on Saturday. What a small hockey world it
• 11:52
  really is. And one thing about Luke Shen
• 11:56
  hitting 1000 games Max. And if you're listening to this,
• 11:59
  Google it and read a few of these stories about the struggle
• 12:03
  that he went through. He played game #700 back in
• 12:07
  2018, so it took him the past six years to play 300 games.
• 12:13
  And this also included a stint of him having to go down to the
• 12:16
  minor leagues. Yeah, twice.
• 12:19
  Over to the minors with three different organizations in 2018
• 12:23
  and 2019. So yeah, there were points where
• 12:26
  he could have quit. And his parents said it in the
• 12:28
  video. That's what they are most proud
• 12:30
  of, their oldest son, Luke Shen. And I will raise one more
• 12:34
  complaint, by the way here, Kara, I've said this on the
• 12:36
  podcast before. Playoff stats should count
• 12:39
  towards this. He's played 47 playoff games and
• 12:43
  they don't count towards total games played.
• 12:45
  It's 1001 regular season games, which I think is insane.
• 12:49
  Those are the most taxing games. All the playoff stats should
• 12:53
  count to career totals. OK, we'll, we'll put it in.
• 12:57
  We'll we'll make a note. Yeah, Kara's staying off of my
• 12:59
  bone to pick there, which is probably a good move.
• 13:02
  So the Predators will be back on home ice Tuesday night at 7:45.
• 13:06
  Late puck drop because of ESPN. Second annual Frozen Frenzy,
• 13:10
  which is awesome. Games from 5:00 Central till
• 13:13
  past midnight on ESPN with staggered start times throughout
• 13:18
  the night every 15 minutes most of the way.
• 13:21
  There are three games on ESPN. ESPN2 will be showing WHIP
• 13:25
  around NHL power play coverage. The Preds game is being
• 13:29
  broadcast in the normal way locally on TV and radio, but
• 13:31
  we'll also be part of this ESPN timeline.
• 13:35
  Anyway, that's why the game is late.
• 13:36
  Preds were actually even later last year for the 1st edition of
• 13:39
  the Frozen Frenzy and it was awesome to be a part of.
• 13:42
  It's really good for the NHL. They only do it once a year at
• 13:45
  the beginning of the season. I to be honest with you, I think
• 13:47
  they should do this every Tuesday.
• 13:49
  Go crazy, but only once this year.
• 13:51
  But anyway, that's why the game on Tuesday night is at 745
• 13:54
  against the Bruins. Creds will be looking to break
• 13:56
  their O for they are O and five going up against the Bruins
• 14:00
  team. That is one and one so far as
• 14:02
  they get ready to finish up a three-game road trip here in
• 14:05
  Nashville. It's been a long road trip for
• 14:07
  the Bruins. It'll be a full week away.
• 14:09
  They beat the Avalanche on Wednesday night in Denver, then
• 14:13
  lost in overtime 21 on Saturday night in Salt Lake City to the
• 14:17
  Utah Hockey Club, and now here they are in Nashville.
• 14:21
  And the big news for the Preds coming into this game, losing
• 14:23
  streak aside, is it sounds like we are getting an NHL debut from
• 14:28
  Zach LaRue, who was called up on Monday and joined the Preds for
• 14:31
  practice at Centennial on Monday morning.
• 14:34
  Yeah, I mean, the Preds, let's face it, Max, they need a win
• 14:39
  and maybe bringing up a a guy like Zach LaRue playing in his
• 14:42
  NHL debut will give him a spark that they need.
• 14:46
  We've heard from the players post game, there's some
• 14:48
  frustration in this room. I mean, I know it.
• 14:51
  There probably is amongst the fans.
• 14:53
  We're starting to see a little bit of a of it on social media.
• 14:56
  There's so much expectation on this team.
• 14:58
  They haven't picked up two points yet, but it's definitely
• 15:01
  building in the room and the guys need to channel some of
• 15:04
  that, try to keep positive emotion and and try to stay
• 15:07
  positive moving forward, but they need to win.
• 15:10
  Yeah, we've seen a lot of sticks smashed, a lot of bench doors
• 15:12
  slammed, a lot of long sits and stairs.
• 15:15
  So I implore you guys to believe us that the players are taking
• 15:20
  this extremely personally, and I think everybody's shown it.
• 15:24
  That physical frustration, to be sure.
• 15:26
  But to me, the call up of Zach LaRue was about as obvious of a
• 15:31
  timing call up for an NHL debutante as you could possibly
• 15:34
  have. The team is O and five.
• 15:36
  LaRue had an awesome camp. They need somebody to stir
• 15:39
  things up and it's time. It's time for LaRue and Andrew.
• 15:43
  Brunette was very complimentary of LaRue after practice today,
• 15:46
  saying, yeah, he was the last cut at forward to not make the
• 15:49
  team out of training camp. But he did not pout.
• 15:52
  He did not sulk. He went down to Milwaukee and
• 15:55
  continued to play his best, better than a point per game
• 15:59
  through their first two weekends of the season for the Admirals.
• 16:01
  Just kept on doing his thing. They did in the AHL playoffs
• 16:04
  last year. He tied for the AHL playoff lead
• 16:07
  in goals last year and the Admirals did not make the Calder
• 16:11
  Cup final, so he didn't even have a full 4 rounds to score.
• 16:15
  And he still tied for the NHL lead with ten goals with a
• 16:18
  Capitals player who played significantly more games than
• 16:21
  him. So if you, if you're if you're
• 16:25
  Bruno Max, I'm going to put you on the spot here.
• 16:28
  Who are you putting him on the line with?
• 16:30
  Well, it looks like to start, based on practice today, he'll
• 16:32
  be with Cole Smith and Michael McCarron on the fourth line.
• 16:36
  I wouldn't mind seeing him with some different groups though.
• 16:38
  So I think LaRue is going to make his presence known.
• 16:41
  A lot of folks have said along the way, this is the Brad
• 16:44
  Marshan prototype and who does he get to debut against Brad
• 16:48
  Marshan and the Boston Bruins at Fred Stone Arena.
• 16:51
  So I don't think he's going to need to have it dragged out of
• 16:54
  him. But even if he does, I think
• 16:56
  Margie will be up to the task going up against everyone who's
• 17:00
  going to be saying, hey, this is your 21 year old first round
• 17:03
  pick. Mini me.
• 17:04
  We're #68 On the other side, Zach LaRue will make his NHL
• 17:08
  debut tomorrow. This is what LaRue said after
• 17:10
  practice today about how the Milwaukee Admirals and the
• 17:13
  Predators player development program have gotten him ready to
• 17:17
  likely make his NHL debut this week.
• 17:19
  Huge. I mean, all the staff down there
• 17:21
  has really been welcoming. You know, it's from KT to, you
• 17:25
  know, Rouse and you got Matt Donovan now coming in and all
• 17:28
  them down there. You know, the support and the
• 17:30
  way they're, they're able to build my game up and, you know,
• 17:32
  turn me into a real pro has been huge.
• 17:34
  And the number one thing they told me when when I got down
• 17:37
  there is that their goal is for me to, you know, play in the
• 17:39
  National Hockey League. And when, when the time comes
• 17:41
  out, I'd be ready. And I feel more ready than ever.
• 17:44
  Zach LaRue has 68 points in 85 professional hockey games, all
• 17:49
  with the Admirals over the last season.
• 17:51
  Plus last week Before that, four years in the QMJHL playing in
• 17:56
  the Maritimes, first for the Moncton Wildcats, then three
• 17:59
  years for the Halifax Moose Heads in Nova Scotia where he
• 18:02
  was a star and LED them to a Memorial Cup appearance in 2023
• 18:07
  two seasons ago. So really excited to see Zach
• 18:10
  LaRue make his Preds debut. He'll be wearing #68 which is
• 18:13
  his call up number. He's not completely sure if he's
• 18:16
  going to stick with that number long term, but he'll be #68 to
• 18:20
  get things going. It was great to see Zach today.
• 18:22
  I do want to say a couple things about LaRue before we get a
• 18:26
  chance to profile him deeper as his NHL career starts and
• 18:28
  continues. He does.
• 18:30
  If you're an English speaker, he does prefer just to be called
• 18:33
  Zach, not Zachary. And his last name, it's spelled
• 18:37
  L apostrophe HEUREUX, which is intimidatingly French in print.
• 18:44
  It's just LaRue. Just LaRue.
• 18:48
  That's all right. Don't you love it to be a young
• 18:51
  guy to come up and get to take on a team like Boston?
• 18:54
  It it throws me back to Luke Evangelisa's NHL debut, taking
• 18:58
  on the Penguins and that hit he had on on Malkin when he come
• 19:01
  out and you're just like, OK, I'm setting the tone.
• 19:04
  So I'm excited and I'm excited to see what he can bring against
• 19:08
  Boston. I thought the literal exact same
• 19:10
  thing today, so I'm glad you thought it too.
• 19:13
  One more shout out. We want to give our moment of
• 19:16
  the week here on The POP. It's not an interview of the
• 19:19
  week, but I think it's a young man who we may have to interview
• 19:22
  down the road for the pregame blue liner of the game on
• 19:26
  Thursday night, a very, very, very small goalie skated out and
• 19:33
  stood next to UC Soros for the national anthem.
• 19:35
  A lot of folks were taking pictures.
• 19:37
  I was taking pictures. Super cute little boy out there.
• 19:41
  But I knew we'd have a great picture from the great John
• 19:43
  Russell, and he came through and I tweeted the picture and it's
• 19:48
  gotten a ton of love on Twitter. And I was able to identify the
• 19:51
  young Smashville hockey player. So we got to give a shout out to
• 19:55
  Wells Ford, who is 6 years old. And his dad told me that he got
• 19:59
  to meet his two favorite players when he went on the ice.
• 20:02
  And his two favorite players are UC Soros and Nash.
• 20:07
  Oh gosh. But he's.
• 20:10
  He's in full goalie gear, except he's wearing skater gloves
• 20:16
  because he was waving a flag when he came on the ice and he
• 20:19
  couldn't hold the flag with his goalie gloves on.
• 20:23
  But he's right next to UC, both locked in.
• 20:25
  And I tweeted big goalie, little goalie.
• 20:29
  And of course, there were many jokes about how this is the
• 20:31
  first time ever that UC Soros has been the big goalie, which
• 20:34
  the jokes write themselves. Come on people get original.
• 20:38
  But my other favorite reply to it was a quote tweet from I
• 20:42
  think just a hockey fan. I don't think it was even
• 20:44
  someone who's a preds fan, but it was a a joke about dating
• 20:48
  life in general, which was this is this is what the difference
• 20:51
  between 6 O to 511 looks like for guys, and it's like a 5 foot
• 20:56
  difference. So I chuckled at that one as
• 20:58
  well. But yeah, super cute.
• 21:00
  I tweeted it a few days ago now at Max hers talks.
• 21:03
  So if you want to see it, go check it out there.
• 21:06
  But yeah, super cute. UC Soros and young Smashville up
• 21:09
  and coming goalie prospect Wells Ford.
• 21:13
  He's got a great set up. He's got nice gear.
• 21:15
  He's got a custom helmet. He's got the pixel prez jersey
• 21:18
  for his kids team. Big shout out to Wells.
• 21:20
  So we'll be seeing him at a game soon and maybe down the road
• 21:23
  we'll get to hear from Wells here on the podcast.
• 21:26
  All right, I love it and I I won the last bit of information too
• 21:30
  for you. If you've been following us
• 21:33
  along on the broadcast, we are now the FanDuel Sports Network.
• 21:36
  So it's the same channel, same app, it's everything you need to
• 21:40
  know. We're just on a it's a new home.
• 21:42
  We have a new name, FanDuel Sports Network.
• 21:44
  So mark that down, Maxi. Good news, but very little has
• 21:48
  changed, if anything, about how people can watch the games.
• 21:51
  Correct. If you're watching the games one
• 21:53
  way, you can continue to watch them that way.
• 21:56
  Correct. All right, but don't go to
• 21:58
  Carrie Hammer for betting advice.
• 21:59
  That's not what's changing. You you don't want to know.
• 22:03
  I have no bets. I will make a prediction.
• 22:05
  I will make a prediction. All right, let's just call out a
• 22:09
  a Zach LaRue first goal in his debut.
• 22:13
  Wow, can I throw that out there? That's a very bold prediction,
• 22:17
  but I'm feeling it a little bit. I think that I I think if he's
• 22:21
  going to play out there with Cole Smith and Michael McCarron,
• 22:23
  I think that line has been buzzing.
• 22:25
  We saw Cole Smith have an opportunity to move up and
• 22:27
  state, excuse me, skate with Stamkos.
• 22:31
  I think he's the guy that can drive a line, so you get that
• 22:34
  line going and I'm calling it Max.
• 22:37
  I think they're going to come out firing on Tuesday night.
• 22:40
  All right, Kara's calling it Fred's looking for their first
• 22:42
  win at O and five against the Bruins on Tuesday night at 7:45.
• 22:46
  We will be back with another podcast on either Thursday or
• 22:49
  Friday before the weekend. back-to-back in Chicago on
• 22:53
  Friday night against the Blackhawks and Saturday night in
• 22:55
  Smashville, back home against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
• 22:59
  She's Kara Hammer from the FanDuel Sports Network, the new
• 23:03
  name of Fred's TV. I'm Max, hers from Preds Radio.
• 23:06
