0:34
Speaker 1: the season you having San Jose, also playing with MacLean
0:36

0:56
Speaker 1: kicking off JD with the Toronto may Beliefs. I said
0:58
Speaker 1: you at the start of the series, I said, this
1:00
Speaker 1: is gonna be the best series. You go, really, I
1:01
Speaker 1: think Florida's gonna take care of business. I go, well,
1:04
Speaker 1: we'll see leaves straight zero. Ask tal Tell that I did
1:08
Speaker 1: not say to me this is gonna be eight thousand.
1:10
Speaker 1: Tell's not gonna be I said this ConA be a
1:11
Speaker 1: great series, and you were skeptically like, I don't see it.
1:13
Speaker 1: I go I'm calling Florida whim. I think the LEAs
1:15
Speaker 1: are gonna get all they can handle. And they took
1:17
Speaker 1: Game one five to four Monday night. The big story,
1:20
Speaker 1: course is the same Bennett collision of Anthony Stollart's is
1:23
Speaker 1: they're vomiting. He goes to the Stretcher local hospital. No
1:26
Speaker 1: supplementary disciplined for Bennett. Still Arts did not play in
1:29
Speaker 1: Game two. No wordy when he could be back. But
1:31
Speaker 1: Joseph Woolves, we just saw it tonight recording this on
1:34
Speaker 1: a Wednesday night. He gets the start, different goalies, same result.
1:37
Speaker 1: The Leafs are up two to ohero on the Panthers
1:39
Speaker 1: five for the final. And how about this stat They
1:42
Speaker 1: now hold a two oh series lead in two different
1:45
Speaker 1: playoff series in the same postseason, first time since nineteen
1:48
Speaker 1: sixty three?
1:49
Speaker 2: What say you? Max Patcherretti?
1:53
Speaker 3: Max Patcherretti six points in three games, Ladies and gentlemen.
1:59
Speaker 2: Who would have thunk it? Who would have thunk it?
2:02
Speaker 3: This guy was scratched, comes back, can't and he is
2:05
Speaker 3: just electric factory.
2:07
Speaker 4: No.
2:08
Speaker 3: I watched this game Joseph Fall, you can't say enough
2:12
Speaker 3: good things about him coming in, Anthony Stillers is injured,
2:15
Speaker 3: comes in. I think everybody thought the same thing I did,
2:19
Speaker 3: other than you ad Nan that you know there's they
2:22
Speaker 3: could be in trouble. And Joseph Wall comes in and
2:24
Speaker 3: just pitches a great game. I know Toronto only had
2:29
Speaker 3: twenty shots. They kind of got out worked and dominated
2:33
Speaker 3: a little bit by the Florida Panthers, but Joseph Old
2:36
Speaker 3: stands tall and all of a sudden, they it's looking
2:40
Speaker 3: like a Toronto Maple Leafs team that could go deep
2:43
Speaker 3: into this playoffs.
2:43
Speaker 1: And we I've had, I feel like, going ahead of ourselves,
2:46
Speaker 1: come on out of.
2:47
Speaker 3: Losing every round and then you're you're kind of bullish
2:49
Speaker 3: on them tal as well. But I've I've been kind
2:52
Speaker 3: of I'm like, this team doesn't have it, and then
2:55
Speaker 3: I'm watching these games, I'm like, they got they got
2:57
Speaker 3: the answer for everything right now, and it's just kind
2:59
Speaker 3: of one of those years where could it be the
3:03
Speaker 3: Toronto Apleafs do it.
3:04
Speaker 1: You were right to be skeptical because if you look
3:06
Speaker 1: at the sessions has never come through. But my only
3:08
Speaker 1: thought was if not this year, then went with Craig
3:10
Speaker 1: brew Be a great coach and improved defensive corps. Obviously,
3:13
Speaker 1: Walda Stollart's a question Mark expecially said they answered the
3:16
Speaker 1: bell so far, and look at who score you mentioned Patriory.
3:18
Speaker 1: You have to have some of the supporting cast, right,
3:20
Speaker 1: can't just be Matthews and Nielander and Martka through but six,
3:23
Speaker 1: Patrick Domei had a goal to assist Kneeland, and Riley
3:27
Speaker 1: had a couple of assists. Martr scores a tie breaking goal.
3:30
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, hey, slick Willy with five goals in
3:35
Speaker 3: three games is pretty nasty. Ever since, and here's the thing,
3:40
Speaker 3: Mike Rubb, fan of the show nice Shit, talk to
3:43
Speaker 3: Willie Nielander before game six again in the Ottawa series,
3:47
Speaker 3: and he said, he said, William Neelander and we can
3:50
Speaker 3: go back, Hey, fans, go back and look at it.
3:52
Speaker 3: He said, William Leelander kind of is not caring and
3:56
Speaker 3: is not trying hard enough. Since then, since that call
3:59
Speaker 3: up by Mike Rubb, five goals in three games called
4:03
Speaker 3: out Slick Quillie, and Slick Willy said, you know what, yeah, Nay,
4:09
Speaker 3: suck it, Microp.
4:11
Speaker 1: You know a series cannot be made till the series
4:13
Speaker 1: shifts to Florida. I can't imagine how Florida doesn't win
4:15
Speaker 1: Game three, but I want to have tal stots. Are
4:18
Speaker 1: you surprised the Leafs now hold a two zero commanding lead, I.
4:22
Speaker 5: Mean, am I surprised? Yes, but the series is far
4:26
Speaker 5: from over. I think even most Leafs fans would say
4:29
Speaker 5: that they've been through enough heartache to not get too
4:32
Speaker 5: high on this thing just yet.
4:33
Speaker 2: I means till the home team loses a game. Yeah, Florida.
4:37
Speaker 5: There were two to one goal games. Florida was in
4:40
Speaker 5: both games. They out shot Toronto tonight this, yeah, I
4:45
Speaker 5: Florida's been there. They've been They've been in every playoff
4:48
Speaker 5: situation you can imagine. I don't think they're even that phase.
4:51
Speaker 5: I'm sure they're not happy about this, but they're going
4:54
Speaker 5: to their home arena. I know some people who are
4:56
Speaker 5: going to be at those games who are gonna be
4:58
Speaker 5: ready to they'll be ready to lift the roof.
5:00
Speaker 1: Off the mother So you know, ye, yeah, it happens
5:03
Speaker 1: a Game three.
5:04
Speaker 2: Let's see what happens in game three.
5:05
Speaker 5: Hey, they take this is you could this is the
5:09
Speaker 5: big Game three is the biggest game of the season
5:10
Speaker 5: for the Leafs. They go up three nothing in this yeraries,
5:12
Speaker 5: Oh my god, God riding some serious momentum.
5:16
Speaker 3: Hey and let's let's all let's say something here. Barovsky
5:21
Speaker 3: has not been great in this series. Has not been great.
5:25
Speaker 1: Nine goals to two games so far.
5:27
Speaker 2: Not been good.
5:28
Speaker 3: They have figured out, Yeah, Yearling, they have figured him out.
5:35
Speaker 3: Continue tell I love your suit.
5:37
Speaker 1: Major statement within the Oilers. In the road game one
5:40
Speaker 1: against the Golden Knights, the Oilers scored four straight goals,
5:43
Speaker 1: got two huge ones laid from Zach Himan and Connor
5:46
Speaker 1: Brown four to win for their fifth straight win. You
5:49
Speaker 1: do text to be the tweet there, JD. Edmonton the
5:51
Speaker 1: first team in history five straight come from behind wins
5:55
Speaker 1: in a single postseason and depth scoring has been a
5:58
Speaker 1: major strength. If ever, there was one that you and
6:00
Speaker 1: I got wrong. We both called the Kings to win,
6:03
Speaker 1: we both called Vegas to win. And as you said,
6:05
Speaker 1: I'm with you. If the Oilers win this series, I'm
6:07
Speaker 1: not betting against them again. They win this series. They're
6:09
Speaker 1: winning the Stanley Cup. It's been a great story.
6:11
Speaker 3: It's the Edmundton Oilers are just defying the odds. Calvin
6:16
Speaker 3: Pickard is the greatest goalie of all time, give your number.
6:19
Speaker 3: I've sure grand Fear not since grand Fear has a
6:23
Speaker 3: goalie went five to zero in the playoffs. They are
6:25
Speaker 3: doing it in every single way possible. And here's the thing,
6:30
Speaker 3: it's not it was the same thing that happened last year.
6:33
Speaker 3: It wasn't because everybody's saying Connor Leon, that's the guys,
6:37
Speaker 3: that's the only way you can win. They're winning with
6:39
Speaker 3: the depth scoring. That's the way they have an opportunity
6:42
Speaker 3: to go deep in the playoffs. They're doing the same
6:44
Speaker 3: thing they did last year. John Klingbird's looked very good.
6:48
Speaker 3: Calvin Pickard has done his job and given them over
6:51
Speaker 3: nine hundred goaltending. And when they are over nine hundred goaltending,
6:54
Speaker 3: they are very very solid as a team. And it's
6:57
Speaker 3: just one of those it's this weird it's the same
7:00
Speaker 3: thing as Toronto right now, where you're like looking at
7:02
Speaker 3: them and you're like, let's how the hell are they
7:06
Speaker 3: doing this?
7:07
Speaker 2: Right now?
7:07
Speaker 3: They're just against all odds, they're putting together these wins
7:11
Speaker 3: and they're just very resilient. And it goes back to
7:15
Speaker 3: what we said when we had this viral clip on
7:18
Speaker 3: Instagram when we said a Canadian team is going to
7:21
Speaker 3: win the Stanley Cup this year, and Nan Verk, I
7:24
Speaker 3: think we are gonna fucking do it.
7:26
Speaker 2: You're gonna fucking do it the Canadian teams. We're gonna push.
7:31
Speaker 3: Hey, it's a viral clip over one hundred and seventy
7:33
Speaker 3: five thousand views on Instagram.
7:35
Speaker 2: We are going to do it.
7:36
Speaker 3: I think the Canadian teams have heard our cries, they
7:40
Speaker 3: have heard are pleas, and they are gonna get us
7:42
Speaker 3: the w we need it.
7:44
Speaker 1: Come on, you're generous to include me. But this was
7:47
Speaker 1: all you. You said it. I stend all right, gid
7:49
Speaker 1: you sure you like I'm calling it? Yeah?
7:50
Speaker 2: I don't want it.
7:52
Speaker 1: I wanted I wanted it.
7:53
Speaker 2: You were boldr Men's warehouse suit.
7:56
Speaker 1: Right now, we're like Harry Rosen. In the meantime, Jacob
8:02
Speaker 1: Slavin gives the Hurricanes a serious lead and overtime against
8:05
Speaker 1: the Capitals. I was watching from the third period on
8:07
Speaker 1: and the stat that blew me away. So Carolina outshot
8:10
Speaker 1: Washington thirty three to fourteen. But like chances, like just
8:14
Speaker 1: attempts was ninety three, Like it was insane. It was
8:18
Speaker 1: plus sixty in favorite Carolina. I only have ever saved
8:20
Speaker 1: just chances shot attempts this year is gonna go at
8:24
Speaker 1: least six, probably seven.
8:26
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's kind of what And listen, we talked
8:30
Speaker 3: about this before. What plagued Washington against Montreal was that
8:34
Speaker 3: they're a little bit Laxaday's ago coming out of their
8:36
Speaker 3: own end, and if they get four checked hard enough,
8:39
Speaker 3: they will create turnovers. And Carolina did just that. Their
8:42
Speaker 3: four check got there, They got there in a hurry.
8:45
Speaker 3: They created turnovers, they created offensive's own time, they created
8:48
Speaker 3: shot attempts, and that is what Carolina does. And I
8:50
Speaker 3: feel like they just Washington doesn't match up well against
8:54
Speaker 3: Carolina in that respect. The only difference and the only
8:58
Speaker 3: advantage they have is goaltending with Logan Thompson versus Freddie Anderson.
9:02
Speaker 3: And you could see that it resulted in a two
9:05
Speaker 3: to one win for Carolina in overtime. It was a
9:07
Speaker 3: very tight game. And that goal by Jacob Slavan is
9:10
Speaker 3: a seeing eye shot from the point. It wasn't anything crazy,
9:12
Speaker 3: It wasn't like a big scoring chance. But Carolina just
9:15
Speaker 3: kind of beats you down. They beat you down. It's
9:17
Speaker 3: just a bunch of shots from all over the place.
9:20
Speaker 3: I don't I think this series still goes a long
9:23
Speaker 3: time and goes more than six and possibly seven. But
9:28
Speaker 3: Washington needs way more urgency coming out of their own end.
9:30
Speaker 3: They had that kind of laxa day's goal attitude against
9:33
Speaker 3: Montreal on it and listen, even though they beat Montreal handedly,
9:37
Speaker 3: that series could have been way tighter than it was.
9:39
Speaker 3: And Carolina is kind of exposing them the same way
9:41
Speaker 3: that Montreal did on the Ford checks. So they need
9:43
Speaker 3: to move the puck a little bit quicker and they're
9:45
Speaker 3: gonna get some more opportunities. And I think they have
9:48
Speaker 3: a better team overall than Carolina. So but I took
9:51
Speaker 3: Carolina to win the series. So I gotta be happy
9:55
Speaker 3: because Jordan Martinik will not be mad at us.
9:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, this could be your upset special. Yeah yeah, no
9:59
Speaker 1: matter how your record has been, if you call the
10:01
Speaker 1: Hurricanes with the capitals not many perks, I will that
10:03
Speaker 1: will be deem I'll give you.
10:05
Speaker 3: I said, if they get by Montreal, not Montreal, New Jersey,
10:10
Speaker 3: by New Jersey, they could be Washington. They matchup well
10:13
Speaker 3: against Washington. But I Digress and Stars and Jets. I mean, listen,
10:18
Speaker 3: everyone here is focused on the roster report. Jason Robertson
10:21
Speaker 3: returning for Dallas, his first game since April sixteenth.
10:24
Speaker 1: Miroe. Hayskin, not back yet for Dallas, is expected back
10:27
Speaker 1: for the series. For Winnipeg, Mark Shipley's back, Josh Morrissey,
10:30
Speaker 1: Logan Stanley's still out. But the point is this Ranson
10:34
Speaker 1: and doing Ranson and this guy he is putting on.
10:37
Speaker 2: His show for the ages right now.
10:39
Speaker 1: I mean fourteen points in his last eleven periods.
10:42
Speaker 3: At last check, we all sat here, all of us.
10:47
Speaker 3: There's not one person in this industry that did not
10:51
Speaker 3: ship talk Miko ran in and he is shoving it
10:55
Speaker 3: up all of our you.
10:57
Speaker 1: Know what, we're getting bent over here.
10:59
Speaker 3: We're all getting bent over. It's not one, it's not two,
11:02
Speaker 3: it's not three, it's not four. It's infinite bendovers by
11:06
Speaker 3: Mico Randon. Because there is not one person. I don't
11:08
Speaker 3: give a I don't give a flying hoot. Everybody should
11:12
Speaker 3: talk Miko Randon. Since that trade, every single person at
11:16
Speaker 3: one point or another said Miko Randon is not great.
11:19
Speaker 2: He was an.
11:20
Speaker 1: Overrated He's dogging it with them exactly.
11:22
Speaker 3: Hey, for the most part, we were right until about
11:25
Speaker 3: Game four of the first round, and he has just
11:29
Speaker 3: shoved it and he has just said, hey, you know what,
11:32
Speaker 3: watch me, watch me. Hey, who's the captain now? I'm
11:36
Speaker 3: the captain now, Captain Phillip Hey, Captain Phillip, Tom Hanks,
11:40
Speaker 3: Cinephile in sixty No, Captain Phillips, I'm the captain now.
11:45
Speaker 3: And this is Mekorandon freaking hat trick. This guy is
11:49
Speaker 3: so good. He's so strong. Again we talked about it
11:53
Speaker 3: last episode. He's he's in elite company in all time
11:58
Speaker 3: playoffs scoring with eighty games played minimum. He's an elite company.
12:02
Speaker 3: It's him, Nathan mccannon, Connor McDavid, and then it is
12:07
Speaker 3: Mary Lemiue and Wayne Gretzky. It's those five that is
12:10
Speaker 3: something so special, and it is not appreciated enough by
12:15
Speaker 3: the collective in this industry that he's done this much.
12:18
Speaker 3: And I'm one of them that didn't appreciate it because
12:21
Speaker 3: I thought, you know what, this guy wanted too much money.
12:25
Speaker 2: He sucks. He does not suck.
12:27
Speaker 3: He is unbelievable, and he's dominating in these playoffs right now.
12:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, points per game in the playoffs, been in eighty games.
12:34
Speaker 1: He's been as good as anyone in the history of
12:36
Speaker 1: the league, which is something to say one more thought here,
12:39
Speaker 1: non playoff related. The King's announcing Tuesday general manager Rob
12:43
Speaker 1: Blake lea demon decided to quote mutually part ways a
12:46
Speaker 1: first one EXE against the Oiler's fourth straight season. Team
12:50
Speaker 1: president Luke Robotiz said Tuesday he expects head coach Jim
12:52
Speaker 1: Hiller to remain behind the King's bench. I'm sure Blake's
12:56
Speaker 1: a great guy, obviously, I have great respect from him
12:57
Speaker 1: May's Hounds on the ice. But something that had the
13:00
Speaker 1: game here, Jad, you lose four straight teams to the
13:02
Speaker 1: four straight times, excuse me, to the same team. Something's
13:04
Speaker 1: gonna give.
13:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, you lose four straight times to the team that
13:09
Speaker 3: has not won the Cup. So that goes to show
13:12
Speaker 3: you if the team won the Cup, you could have
13:14
Speaker 3: kind of said, we're not far off, but they have
13:16
Speaker 3: not won a Cup yet.
13:17
Speaker 2: So you are.
13:19
Speaker 3: You are miles away, you are the Milky Way away,
13:23
Speaker 3: you are Andromeda away, you are galaxies and light years away.
13:29
Speaker 3: I think Mark Bergerman I heard, is kind of the
13:31
Speaker 3: front runner for this. They need to change a lot.
13:35
Speaker 3: I could see a cop Patar, I could see a
13:36
Speaker 3: Dowdy moving.
13:37
Speaker 1: I think Dowdy thirty six to your point, I think I.
13:40
Speaker 3: Think they're going to rebuild mode. I think they need to.
13:43
Speaker 3: I think you need to prioritize what you have. I
13:46
Speaker 3: don't think you're gonna get passed Edmonton or whoever with
13:50
Speaker 3: the roster you have right now. You could say that
13:53
Speaker 3: maybe it was a luck of the draw and just
13:54
Speaker 3: didn't line up, but you just did not have a
13:56
Speaker 3: good enough roster to get through. So there needs to
13:59
Speaker 3: be some changes. They need to make some moves. And
14:02
Speaker 3: you know, it starts with Rob Blake and I love
14:04
Speaker 3: He's my first captain, one of the best captains ever
14:07
Speaker 3: had in my career and just an amazing human being.
14:10
Speaker 3: But yeah, they need to make severe changes to this team,
14:14
Speaker 3: and they need to really finally just say, you know what,
14:17
Speaker 3: if we don't make the playoffs next year, it's fine,
14:19
Speaker 3: but we are making a categorical change that is going to.
14:23
Speaker 2: Affect the very bedrock.
14:25
Speaker 3: Of this franchise so we can win a Cup or
14:28
Speaker 3: get close to winning a Cup.
14:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, in terms of changes to make you mentioned the
14:32
Speaker 1: fact that Coopatar's getting long in the two, as is Dowdy,
14:35
Speaker 1: But you've got guys like Kempy and Byfield you can
14:38
Speaker 1: build on. I mean, Kemper is a Veza Trophy finalist.
14:40
Speaker 1: So in terms of what you need to get over
14:42
Speaker 1: the hump, would you say an infusion of talent upfront
14:45
Speaker 1: or more of the guards to the back end?
14:47
Speaker 3: Oh, your back end is a lot of the same
14:50
Speaker 3: D men. You know, you got Bran Clark and Dowdy
14:53
Speaker 3: that are I mean, Dowdy's a lot like Gavicoffee's a
14:56
Speaker 3: lot like Edmondson, He's a lot like Mike Anderson. The
14:59
Speaker 3: only offensive, pure offensive player you have is Bran Clark
15:03
Speaker 3: and he's not the fleetest foot So they needed they
15:06
Speaker 3: need some D men goaltending. I think Darcy Campers is great.
15:10
Speaker 3: He's a good goalie to have. And then up front
15:12
Speaker 3: you need you know, you got Adrian Kempy, you got Phildono,
15:15
Speaker 3: you got Yeah. I just think it's you're getting a
15:18
Speaker 3: little old. You gotta go young. You got to try
15:20
Speaker 3: to find a way to just spark this team. And
15:25
Speaker 3: you know you can't go against Sanminton Ollers with the
15:28
Speaker 3: team that you have, You're not gonna win.
15:29
Speaker 2: So I think they're it's so tough.
15:33
Speaker 3: It's such a fine line in the NHL, and and
15:36
Speaker 3: you think you look at these teams and You're like,
15:37
Speaker 3: you're so close, you can beat the Edmonton Oys, but
15:39
Speaker 3: they're so far because you can tweak things here and there,
15:44
Speaker 3: but they.
15:45
Speaker 2: Just four straight years.
15:46
Speaker 3: It's it's it proves that they do not have enough
15:50
Speaker 3: to win a Stanley Cup because they can't even beat
15:52
Speaker 3: the Invant Oilers, who have not won a Stanley Cup.
15:54
Speaker 3: They lost in the finals. Yes they were close, they
15:58
Speaker 3: went to Game seven, but they have not. They have
16:01
Speaker 3: lost to a team that has never won a Stanley Cup.
16:04
Speaker 3: So that's how far they are there far?
16:07
Speaker 1: And one last thought here, by the way, on the Stars,
16:09
Speaker 1: Jets came rans to a natural hat trick tonight, the
16:11
Speaker 1: first playoff Natty Hattie in the Star's history. If this
16:14
Speaker 1: guy's unbelievable still to come. Here, an nhl and scriptor
16:16
Speaker 1: is speaking of unbelievable Tyler to Foley, You're gonna love
16:19
Speaker 1: him his thoughts and the Sharks that great young cores
16:21
Speaker 1: plus a wife who might be more famous than him.
16:23
Speaker 1: It's coming up next after this Here, an nhl and
16:25
Speaker 1: scripted Our next guest, drafted forty seventh overall on the
16:41
Speaker 1: twenty ten NHL is rapped by the Los Angeles Kings.
16:44
Speaker 1: He won the Stanley Cup with the team in twenty fourteen.
16:47
Speaker 1: Since then, he has played for the Vancouver Canucks, Montreal Canadians,
16:50
Speaker 1: Calgary Flames, New Jersey Devil's, Winnipeg Jets, and San Jose Sharks.
16:54
Speaker 1: He was the leading goalscorer last season on a Shark's
16:57
Speaker 1: team that is one of the most exciting young up
16:59
Speaker 1: and coming teams in the league. Ladies and gentlemen, Tyler Toffoley,
17:02
Speaker 1: Tyler's great to see it, man, welcome to unscripted.
17:04
Speaker 4: What's going on?
17:05
Speaker 2: That was a long list of teams, suitcase, just a
17:11
Speaker 2: distinguished career.
17:13
Speaker 1: Let's start current them before we go back through all
17:15
Speaker 1: those different teams and jog your memory. But now you
17:17
Speaker 1: have time to look back. How would you look at
17:19
Speaker 1: this Shark season? No bra And again, I know you're
17:21
Speaker 1: a team player, but particularly for yourself being the leading
17:23
Speaker 1: goals score How cool was that?
17:25
Speaker 4: Yeah?
17:25
Speaker 6: I mean, I you know, you got to you gotta
17:27
Speaker 6: be happy. And for myself, I always come in every
17:30
Speaker 6: season and expect myself to score thirty goals and definitely
17:35
Speaker 6: some ups and downs this season, but I found a
17:37
Speaker 6: way to get there. And definitely credit to UH to
17:40
Speaker 6: the guys. You know it feels like kind of cliche
17:42
Speaker 6: to say, but you know, guys like you know, Macklin
17:46
Speaker 6: stepping up and playing big minutes once once they traded
17:49
Speaker 6: Granny and played with Wenberg a lot too, and he's
17:52
Speaker 6: a very easy guy to play with. So definitely some
17:55
Speaker 6: fun times on a on a team that didn't win
17:58
Speaker 6: very games, but definitely things to look forward to in
18:00
Speaker 6: the future.
18:02
Speaker 3: Talk a little bit about, you know, the leadership role
18:04
Speaker 3: you took on, you know, obviously specifically with Macklin and Will,
18:08
Speaker 3: but you know, you're a different kind of leader. You're
18:10
Speaker 3: a little bit more like myself, more light around the room,
18:12
Speaker 3: and you want guys have fun and be relaxed, and
18:15
Speaker 3: when it's time to play, you going hard. But like,
18:17
Speaker 3: how was it for you to step into that role
18:19
Speaker 3: of leader and really kind of usher in this new
18:23
Speaker 3: wave of young Sharks.
18:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely was different. I've normally been on a
18:27
Speaker 6: team with older guys and guys that have seen it
18:31
Speaker 6: and done it more than me, So for me to
18:34
Speaker 6: come in, I knew it was going to be, you know,
18:35
Speaker 6: a different experience, but definitely had a lot of meetings
18:38
Speaker 6: with Warzo and he was trying to get me to
18:40
Speaker 6: you know, be more vocal and be harder.
18:43
Speaker 4: On guys in a different way.
18:44
Speaker 6: I've always kind of been that guy to be like
18:46
Speaker 6: all right, you know, like we'll get them next shift
18:48
Speaker 6: sort of thing, whereas this year it was like more
18:51
Speaker 6: kind of you know, you know, the f us and
18:54
Speaker 6: it wasn't in.
18:55
Speaker 4: A bad way.
18:56
Speaker 2: Fuck It's great.
18:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, like the kind of like a fuck you sort
18:58
Speaker 6: of thing, especially you know with Macklin.
19:00
Speaker 4: I was trying to.
19:03
Speaker 6: With and with will you know, just like things in
19:05
Speaker 6: the power play and not turning pucks over and just
19:07
Speaker 6: like little things at that that makes you become a
19:10
Speaker 6: winning hockey team. And I think they understood it and
19:13
Speaker 6: and throughout the year definitely got a lot better with it.
19:16
Speaker 3: Did you ever, I just wanted to did you ever
19:19
Speaker 3: have a moment for you to be like hey, kid, like,
19:21
Speaker 3: because you know, Maclin comes in and you know I
19:24
Speaker 3: got to see doing radio stuff and kind of see
19:27
Speaker 3: it behind the scenes, but like he's like want wanted
19:29
Speaker 3: to control of the team and wants control of the
19:31
Speaker 3: team like now like he's one of those guys he's
19:34
Speaker 3: you can see it, and you know it, was there
19:38
Speaker 3: ever a moment where you're like hey, kid, like walk
19:40
Speaker 3: before you can run, and just like, you know, we'll
19:42
Speaker 3: get you through this. Learn from us a little bit
19:44
Speaker 3: and and uh, you know, because he's just so good
19:47
Speaker 3: on the ice, but learning all the little nuances in
19:49
Speaker 3: the NHL takes time, as you know.
19:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, And I think at the same time, he's
19:53
Speaker 6: not used to losing, and yeah, I'm not used to
19:57
Speaker 6: losing as much as we did this season, so it
19:58
Speaker 6: was definitely frustrating. So I think at the end of
20:02
Speaker 6: the end of the day, that's kind of what it
20:04
Speaker 6: sort of came down to, was more not being a
20:10
Speaker 6: bad leader or a good leader, but the frustration.
20:13
Speaker 4: And losing hockey games.
20:14
Speaker 6: And I think at the start of the year, and
20:16
Speaker 6: you watch us kind of more than anyone we were
20:19
Speaker 6: in so many games at the start of the year
20:21
Speaker 6: that if, in my opinion, if we had won those games,
20:25
Speaker 6: I don't think that guys would have been traded. I
20:27
Speaker 6: think we would have kind of built off of that.
20:30
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying we would have, you know, been
20:32
Speaker 6: a wildcard team or anything, but I'm saying that we
20:34
Speaker 6: would have won a lot more games and we would
20:37
Speaker 6: have been able to have more experience in winning. Whereas
20:40
Speaker 6: I think We started the season losing ten in a
20:42
Speaker 6: row or whatever it ended up being, and we should
20:46
Speaker 6: have won in my opinion, four of them, so you know,
20:48
Speaker 6: you go four and six, that's a completely different story.
20:51
Speaker 6: And we ended up winning and kind of going on
20:54
Speaker 6: a little bit of a role and at one point
20:56
Speaker 6: we were like, you know, eight points, six points out
20:58
Speaker 6: of wildcard spot, and then the trade deadline kind of happened,
21:02
Speaker 6: and that's when you you lose getys to, you know,
21:05
Speaker 6: teams that are looking to contend.
21:08
Speaker 1: You mentioned Warso your coach, Ryan warsofs he's only four
21:10
Speaker 1: years older than you. It makes me think about Stu
21:12
Speaker 1: Grimson back with the Hartford Whalers. Paul Maurice was thirty
21:15
Speaker 1: years old and Stu was like, I'm almost as old
21:16
Speaker 1: as this guy. Can't listen to him. What's your dynamic
21:19
Speaker 1: like with Ryan?
21:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely got a lot better throughout the season.
21:23
Speaker 6: I think it was just it was funny. He was
21:25
Speaker 6: definitely really really hard on me and a couple of
21:28
Speaker 6: the older guys early on in the season, and he
21:31
Speaker 6: had mentioned that he was going to do it but
21:33
Speaker 6: just to kind of show to you know, everybody and
21:35
Speaker 6: the younger guys that you know, anybody, everybody's up. You know,
21:39
Speaker 6: you mess up, you're gonna get in trouble, like kind
21:42
Speaker 6: of holding everybody accountable. And I think at one point
21:45
Speaker 6: I kind of made a joke in the locker room
21:46
Speaker 6: and I'm like, why.
21:48
Speaker 4: Is this guy fucking yelling at me?
21:49
Speaker 6: I'm almost as old as them, and the boys loved it,
21:52
Speaker 6: and it was kind of like the running joke for
21:53
Speaker 6: a little bit.
21:54
Speaker 4: With the guys. And but you know, you know what, it.
21:58
Speaker 6: Is true, like everybody has to be held accountable and
22:01
Speaker 6: nobody is better than anyone. And I always go back
22:04
Speaker 6: to playing for Darryl Sutter, and you know, every single
22:08
Speaker 6: every guy was was held accountable. If you if you
22:10
Speaker 6: turn it over or you you know, didn't get the pucking,
22:13
Speaker 6: didn't matter if you were you know, me as a
22:15
Speaker 6: as a rookie or.
22:18
Speaker 4: Kopy.
22:18
Speaker 6: You know, Kope was still going to be on the video.
22:20
Speaker 6: So I think that kind of goes a long way.
22:23
Speaker 2: Uh.
22:23
Speaker 3: You know, we got to talk about the Demon Twins.
22:26
Speaker 3: They're celebreeding and Smith. Uh, you know, you kind of
22:29
Speaker 3: mentored them for much of the year and and probably
22:33
Speaker 3: much to your you know, dismay at times, especially when
22:37
Speaker 3: things are going tough, and you see these kids walking
22:39
Speaker 3: in together just like you know, glued at the hip.
22:41
Speaker 3: What what's their routine like? And like what's it like
22:44
Speaker 3: to kind of sit back and watch these two kids
22:46
Speaker 3: that that probably reminded you of yourself kind of coming
22:48
Speaker 3: to the league.
22:49
Speaker 6: I mean, their their game day routine is is is
22:52
Speaker 6: great and honestly better than mine's ever been and uh
22:56
Speaker 6: mine is now, to be honest, Like they kind of
22:58
Speaker 6: they do their warm up, they play a little bit,
23:00
Speaker 6: a little bit of soccer, and then they you know,
23:02
Speaker 6: like Max sweating before you putting his gear on, and
23:05
Speaker 6: I'm I'm looking at him like I kicked the ball
23:06
Speaker 6: around for like five minutes and I'm and I'm going
23:10
Speaker 6: out there and using the warm up on the ice
23:13
Speaker 6: as my warm up, which you know when we played,
23:15
Speaker 6: that's kind of how it was. And so yeah, no,
23:18
Speaker 6: they're doing they're doing all that stuff and on the
23:20
Speaker 6: ice for warm up, they're getting and getting all their
23:23
Speaker 6: work in and even pregame skate they're always and I
23:25
Speaker 6: don't think it's because they're young, but they they're always
23:29
Speaker 6: you know, the first guys on and the last guys off.
23:31
Speaker 6: And I think that's just like the way they are
23:33
Speaker 6: and the and the way that they kind of compete
23:35
Speaker 6: with each other, which in my opinion is awesome because
23:38
Speaker 6: when I came in, it was me and Pearson, and
23:41
Speaker 6: you know, it's like the the in house kind of
23:44
Speaker 6: rival that you want to do better then, but you also,
23:48
Speaker 6: you know, you're also best friends with them, So yeah,
23:50
Speaker 6: it's it's a great healthy competition, and I think it's
23:53
Speaker 6: great for them.
23:54
Speaker 3: They didn't like each other, well, Mac din like, well
23:57
Speaker 3: right when they played against each other in college.
23:59
Speaker 4: I feel like.
23:59
Speaker 6: Mac doesn't really get along with anybody he plays against,
24:02
Speaker 6: you know, like he's just like so competitive. It's just
24:05
Speaker 6: like but he relaxed a little bit, you know, like
24:07
Speaker 6: and he's at the Worlds right now. I've texted him
24:10
Speaker 6: a couple of times and he's like he's like, dude,
24:12
Speaker 6: Like Sid came, I'm gonna be on the fourth line.
24:14
Speaker 6: I'm like, just watch Sid and just like let it happen.
24:17
Speaker 2: You know, it's like, come on, kid.
24:19
Speaker 6: Like like it's like Sid and Factor and I can't
24:22
Speaker 6: remember there's another guy.
24:23
Speaker 2: Who's maybe Haate Nate McKinnon.
24:26
Speaker 6: And Nate's going now, yeah, so who knows what the
24:29
Speaker 6: lines are going? To be, but like just you soak
24:32
Speaker 6: it in and and their team looks like their teams
24:34
Speaker 6: stacked now, So like just just play and you know,
24:38
Speaker 6: have fun because that tournament is so.
24:39
Speaker 4: Much fun and enjoyed. Watch watch Sid, watch Nate, watch.
24:43
Speaker 6: These guys and then you know, come back and do
24:48
Speaker 6: it in the season.
24:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool to mark Andre Fleury. By the way,
24:51
Speaker 1: it's gonna have one more little Sarawell twit there as well.
24:53
Speaker 1: That's Flower over there. So as you said, it's a
24:54
Speaker 1: cool turning. I want to ask you to for that
24:56
Speaker 1: wild run of the Cup final, the Montreal Canadians playing
24:59
Speaker 1: an empty arenas and most of the playoffs during COVID,
25:02
Speaker 1: how surreal was that.
25:04
Speaker 4: You know what it was?
25:05
Speaker 6: It was so funny because especially just like going in
25:09
Speaker 6: we we weren't like in the playoff spot I think
25:12
Speaker 6: we had to win. I think we ended up clinching
25:14
Speaker 6: with like two or three games left something like that,
25:16
Speaker 6: and guys were kind of banged up, and then we
25:18
Speaker 6: made it. We ended up being down to Toronto. Obviously,
25:22
Speaker 6: no one thought that we were gonna be Toronto. We
25:25
Speaker 6: were down three to one, ended up beating them in
25:27
Speaker 6: seven whatever it was, and after that, it just things
25:30
Speaker 6: just kind of started to roll and we had so
25:32
Speaker 6: much fun.
25:33
Speaker 4: We had We had, you know, a few older guys,
25:36
Speaker 4: webs carry, we had warm you.
25:38
Speaker 6: Know, buzzing like he's still buzzing right now, which is insane.
25:43
Speaker 6: So we had a really good group of guys and
25:45
Speaker 6: and the fact that we didn't have fans was was
25:47
Speaker 6: really a bummer. But I lived in the in the
25:50
Speaker 6: building connected to the Bell Center, and so like I'd
25:53
Speaker 6: be trying to take a nap, especially when we were
25:55
Speaker 6: in the final and the amount of people that were
25:58
Speaker 6: just outside and around the it was so loud. I'd
26:01
Speaker 6: open up the window and it was just like chanting
26:03
Speaker 6: for like like six hours before the game.
26:06
Speaker 4: And I'm like, like, I'm pretty sure.
26:09
Speaker 6: We beat Vegas at home and I had to I
26:13
Speaker 6: had to wait in the locker room for like three
26:15
Speaker 6: hours because I couldn't I couldn't go, And I still
26:18
Speaker 6: had to get escort at home because I was It
26:21
Speaker 6: was me and Evans and we still had to get
26:23
Speaker 6: escort at home.
26:24
Speaker 4: We were fine. I mean, we were having you know,
26:25
Speaker 4: beers in the locker room.
26:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, we like wanted to be and that was our
26:29
Speaker 6: excuse to our girls that we couldn't we couldn't leave.
26:32
Speaker 4: You know.
26:34
Speaker 1: How.
26:34
Speaker 3: I mean, I know it was tough time for you
26:36
Speaker 3: when you were in Montreal in terms of like where
26:38
Speaker 3: everything was, But how do you enjoy that experience? And
26:42
Speaker 3: like watching did you watch any of the first round
26:44
Speaker 3: with them playing and seeing that Bell Center just absolutely
26:47
Speaker 3: fucking rocking?
26:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, it it definitely you know, brought back memories
26:52
Speaker 6: and it kind of sucked to be honest, watching them
26:54
Speaker 6: and be in the playoffs with the amount of fans in.
26:56
Speaker 3: There and that run you guys had. If if you
26:59
Speaker 3: had a full barn, oh my god.
27:01
Speaker 6: The city would have burned. Yeah, like legit, it like
27:04
Speaker 6: it would have been insane. Like I was walking around
27:07
Speaker 6: monce Morell with like my mask on and everything and
27:10
Speaker 6: like during the playoffs and people still recognize me. I mean,
27:13
Speaker 6: I know it's like prototypical, like long hair like whatever,
27:17
Speaker 6: but like when you have one of those big masks on,
27:20
Speaker 6: you can't really tell who someone is and people are
27:23
Speaker 6: yelling at me from across the street being like, oh,
27:25
Speaker 6: let's go, and then like screaming at me in France.
27:27
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, like let's go, like come on.
27:31
Speaker 4: And so like.
27:32
Speaker 6: But but being able to see them this this year,
27:35
Speaker 6: and the people that I met outside of hockey texting
27:38
Speaker 6: me and they got their kids to follow jerseys and
27:41
Speaker 6: they're like, it's sir, it's our lucky jersey, like all
27:44
Speaker 6: this stuff.
27:44
Speaker 4: I was. I was very excited for them for sure.
27:46
Speaker 2: Nice.
27:47
Speaker 3: Uh, going back to the Sharks quick. You know, I
27:50
Speaker 3: have two things for you before I'm done asking you.
27:52
Speaker 3: Shark's question is you know I heard you talk with
27:55
Speaker 3: Brodie Brazil a little bit about you know, finishing your
27:58
Speaker 3: career potentially in San Jose and how you you kind
28:00
Speaker 3: of not that you didn't expect to like it this much,
28:03
Speaker 3: but you've really kind of come to love of being
28:05
Speaker 3: a part of that organization. Like how how has that
28:08
Speaker 3: kind of been for you? Like to know that you're
28:10
Speaker 3: going to be part of this rebuild and if you
28:12
Speaker 3: do stay, probably into the later parts of your career,
28:15
Speaker 3: because I still think you have a lot of good
28:16
Speaker 3: years left in you, but that might kind of trend
28:19
Speaker 3: into the lake. Do you want to see this thing
28:21
Speaker 3: through fully or is it something that you're hoping if
28:24
Speaker 3: it it goes quicker and if it doesn't and it
28:27
Speaker 3: goes longer, you're willing to kind of stay with the
28:28
Speaker 3: team and and hang on and kind of rebuild and
28:31
Speaker 3: build with these guys.
28:32
Speaker 4: I mean that's the plan.
28:33
Speaker 6: And and like you kind of said, I I hope
28:37
Speaker 6: that it goes quicker. And I mean I sign here
28:40
Speaker 6: knowing that there was a plan. I don't know, you
28:43
Speaker 6: know what the plan is, but I you know, Greersy
28:46
Speaker 6: has been very vocal with me and a few of
28:48
Speaker 6: the other guys saying that he's.
28:51
Speaker 4: Going to try and and make the team better as
28:53
Speaker 4: fast as possible.
28:54
Speaker 6: And yeah, I obviously understand that that could mean, you know,
28:58
Speaker 6: getting a guy off of an entry level deal, you know,
29:02
Speaker 6: wanting more of a chance and like things like that
29:04
Speaker 6: at which is definitely way above my pay grade. But
29:08
Speaker 6: I I definitely want to see things through and coming
29:12
Speaker 6: here and seeing the group and knowing what the fans
29:16
Speaker 6: can can be like here it It definitely is a
29:20
Speaker 6: thing that I want to see from you know, to
29:22
Speaker 6: start to the end, because I know what's been tough
29:24
Speaker 6: for the last you know, bunch of seasons, but having
29:27
Speaker 6: having some of the guys that they have as prospects
29:29
Speaker 6: coming in it, it definitely is exciting.
29:33
Speaker 3: After seeing Patty, How's Smitty and then seeing Jumbo. How's Maclin?
29:38
Speaker 3: Are you ever have you ever thought now that maybe
29:41
Speaker 3: I will play a big brother brother for this second
29:43
Speaker 3: overall pick that you guys are getting or you're like, no,
29:46
Speaker 3: no chance.
29:48
Speaker 6: I mean, I would have no problem doing it.
29:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely haven't.
29:51
Speaker 6: I haven't keep Yeah, I mean, and these like Mac
29:56
Speaker 6: and Smithie, like, I don't know if i'd be able
29:58
Speaker 6: to keep up with them, like their energy every single day.
30:01
Speaker 6: So we got a little backouse that that we could
30:04
Speaker 6: we could with someone. So we'll see if if someone
30:06
Speaker 6: asked me. But I'm assuming. I mean, I don't know
30:09
Speaker 6: what what those two idiots are going to be doing
30:11
Speaker 6: next year. Hope hopefully they're Hopefully they're back with John
30:14
Speaker 6: Bo and Patty because they I don't think they're ready
30:16
Speaker 6: to be living on their own yet, you know, so,
30:19
Speaker 6: But if not, hopefully, I know they had a lot
30:22
Speaker 6: of fun living there, and I know that's a lot
30:23
Speaker 6: of pressure on their families, but I feel like they
30:27
Speaker 6: enjoyed it. And they're around the rink all the time
30:29
Speaker 6: now too, so it definitely worked out well.
30:31
Speaker 1: Still just young pups right now, they're at uh a
30:34
Speaker 1: little coaching. Let's ask about podcaster Tyler never offside with
30:38
Speaker 1: Julian and Kat. Of course, your wife is the co
30:40
Speaker 1: host along with Julie Petre's married to Jeff. What's the
30:43
Speaker 1: podcasting world been like? Are you ever concerned about what
30:46
Speaker 1: she's divulging in the life of a hockey player?
30:49
Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, she she's been doing such a good
30:52
Speaker 6: job and I'm very proud of her and and Julie.
30:54
Speaker 6: But she puts in a lot of work and there's
30:58
Speaker 6: all there's never any stress all week. It's always like, Oh,
31:00
Speaker 6: we're gonna have so and so on blah blah blah.
31:03
Speaker 6: And then it's always they so I think they film
31:06
Speaker 6: on Mondays and it's always Sunday night.
31:09
Speaker 4: She's like, what what do you know? Like, what do
31:10
Speaker 4: you know? Like I need to know.
31:11
Speaker 6: Everything, give me all the details about so and so.
31:14
Speaker 6: And I'm like, look like this is your podcast, like
31:17
Speaker 6: like you do your research, and I mean.
31:20
Speaker 3: She's but that's what does an hour before every show, and.
31:28
Speaker 6: So it's it always ends up working out, and like
31:32
Speaker 6: with Landiskog, She's like, give me all the details and
31:35
Speaker 6: I'm like, I mean, I know them, but I really
31:37
Speaker 6: don't know them well enough. As like when we had
31:41
Speaker 6: when we had like Mac and Smitty on, Like I
31:43
Speaker 6: could give like little details whatever, but like I don't
31:46
Speaker 6: know Landiskog as well, Like I played junior against them
31:49
Speaker 6: and I've played against him my whole career, but you know,
31:51
Speaker 6: I don't know the details and and all this stuff.
31:53
Speaker 6: So but she's excited and she's having a really good
31:57
Speaker 6: time with it, and uh, it's definitely keeping her busy.
32:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's doing They're doing a great job, and I
32:02
Speaker 3: mean they're getting some pretty cool insight. It's something that
32:05
Speaker 3: you wouldn't expect to see because you're you know, you're
32:08
Speaker 3: gett there. You guys are getting a lot of you know, players,
32:10
Speaker 3: but then you're getting the wives as well, which have
32:12
Speaker 3: like the most in depth knowledge of the guy that
32:15
Speaker 3: they're married to. So that's kind of what it's interesting.
32:17
Speaker 3: Especially on the trade side of things. I always find
32:19
Speaker 3: that cool because you know, we get traded and you're like, yeah,
32:22
Speaker 3: it was you know, I got called this and that,
32:24
Speaker 3: But there's so much more that goes on emotionally and
32:27
Speaker 3: that the wives kind of, you know, give a little
32:29
Speaker 3: lens that people can peek into.
32:30
Speaker 6: So it's pretty cool, and they do a good job
32:32
Speaker 6: of you know, obviously it's it's their plan and everything,
32:36
Speaker 6: but of finding the right people at the right time.
32:40
Speaker 6: Like you know, when Landiska came back from being hurt,
32:42
Speaker 6: they had his wife on and then they just had
32:46
Speaker 6: Valardi's girlfriend on this week, and just like everything's been
32:51
Speaker 6: really good timing. And I know it's still early and
32:54
Speaker 6: they're still working out some things, but I feel like
32:56
Speaker 6: everything's been running pretty pretty smoothly for them.
32:59
Speaker 3: Right now, give me some insight into this year's playoffs
33:03
Speaker 3: right now, put on your hat or your fan had.
33:05
Speaker 3: What the Fudgicals happened to the La Kinks?
33:10
Speaker 4: Oh that was that was great? I mean that alma.
33:14
Speaker 6: I when when I was on Calgary and we played Edmonton,
33:19
Speaker 6: and Edmonton the way that they play, I mean, obviously
33:24
Speaker 6: they have two of the best players in the world,
33:26
Speaker 6: but it's almost like they they like try and rope
33:29
Speaker 6: you into playing their style of game. And the Kings
33:32
Speaker 6: are so good at playing their style and I mean
33:35
Speaker 6: playing We played against them what five times this year,
33:38
Speaker 6: and it's it's the same. It's a grind every single game.
33:40
Speaker 6: And I didn't watch very many games, but I obviously
33:43
Speaker 6: I saw kind of what happened, and I feel like
33:46
Speaker 6: they just got, you know, roped into playing their type
33:49
Speaker 6: of game and and then it ended up.
33:51
Speaker 1: Happening pretty frustrating. Talco ahead, Thanks Avy, I hate Tyler.
33:58
Speaker 5: I definitely wanted to just ask a couple of quick
34:00
Speaker 5: ones about the Sharks, because that's the team I thought,
34:03
Speaker 5: even when you guys were struggle at times this year,
34:05
Speaker 5: that was a really fun team to watch. You know,
34:07
Speaker 5: you had a lot of energy, a lot of youth obviously,
34:10
Speaker 5: and of course you've been asked a ton about Celebrinian Smith,
34:14
Speaker 5: but it's a pretty young team. I'm wondering if there's
34:16
Speaker 5: any other younger guys on that team that caught your
34:19
Speaker 5: eye that maybe we're not talking enough about.
34:22
Speaker 4: Yeah.
34:22
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, obviously Ecki had a great season. I
34:25
Speaker 6: think he had what fifty eight sixty points career high,
34:29
Speaker 6: and even Shakir played really good. He was playing twenty
34:33
Speaker 6: five minutes a night, as I'm not sure exactly how
34:36
Speaker 6: I think he's like twenty one maybe, but he was.
34:40
Speaker 6: He started in the American League, it's kind of like
34:42
Speaker 6: his so not even his first full season, and at
34:46
Speaker 6: one point he was playing huge minutes for Shutting Shutting,
34:49
Speaker 6: you know, top lines down and all that, and.
34:53
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be a very good player.
34:54
Speaker 6: I think obviously he ended up hurting his shoulder there
34:57
Speaker 6: at the end of the year, but I think he
35:00
Speaker 6: ended up kind of growing and understanding that he can
35:03
Speaker 6: play in this league and be a really good player.
35:06
Speaker 6: So I think he's definitely one of the guys. And obviously,
35:09
Speaker 6: the brief period we saw Askarov, he was he was electrick,
35:14
Speaker 6: he was breaking plucks out, he was toe dragging guys
35:17
Speaker 6: behind the net. I was like, I'm sitting on the bench,
35:19
Speaker 6: I'm like, what.
35:20
Speaker 4: The hell is this guy doing right now?
35:22
Speaker 2: How how late back is he?
35:25
Speaker 6: He's he is just like he comes in, he's kind
35:27
Speaker 6: of like he's like all the young guys now, he
35:29
Speaker 6: comes in, he's laughing, there's no bad days. I'm like,
35:33
Speaker 6: I wish I was like that when I was, you know,
35:34
Speaker 6: twenty one years old, because I was coming and obviously
35:38
Speaker 6: times have changed, but I was like, I was stressed
35:41
Speaker 6: to go into the video room and just knowing that I,
35:43
Speaker 6: you know, made a mistake, and I'm like.
35:45
Speaker 4: Like, what are the guys going to think of me?
35:47
Speaker 4: Like the guys are gonna be mad at me? But
35:49
Speaker 4: I didn't.
35:49
Speaker 6: They never are like, they're your teammates. You know they
35:52
Speaker 6: have your back no matter what. But that's I mean,
35:54
Speaker 6: that's just the way the game has kind of changed too.
35:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the last one for me, I was curious
36:00
Speaker 5: you mentioned before coming into the league with Tanner Pearson,
36:03
Speaker 5: with the kid, and now you blink and all of
36:07
Speaker 5: a sudden, you're the VET on a team just loaded
36:09
Speaker 5: with really young players and probably some more coming next year.
36:13
Speaker 5: You know, you have the number two pick. They could
36:14
Speaker 5: make the team out of training camp. There's other kids
36:16
Speaker 5: who could make the team out of training camp. How
36:19
Speaker 5: surreal is it for you now as the VET to
36:21
Speaker 5: look at the young guys kind of just being young guys,
36:24
Speaker 5: kind of being knuckleheads, and thinking, I can't believe I'm
36:27
Speaker 5: now the babysitter with this group.
36:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
36:29
Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, I think it's a good thing because,
36:31
Speaker 6: I mean, knock on wood, I've been relatively healthy in
36:34
Speaker 6: my whole career and the body is feeling really good.
36:37
Speaker 6: So being able to see them come in and have
36:40
Speaker 6: their energy, I kind of just I try and to,
36:43
Speaker 6: you know, feed off of it and build off of it.
36:44
Speaker 6: And obviously every day and the seasons of grind, but
36:49
Speaker 6: it's fun to be around them, and their energy on
36:52
Speaker 6: the ice in practice definitely goes a long way. And
36:55
Speaker 6: I truly think that from the start of the year
36:57
Speaker 6: this past season to the end, our team and players
37:01
Speaker 6: and guys just got so much better and so much
37:03
Speaker 6: closer as a group. And which is hard to say,
37:07
Speaker 6: and it's not I don't think it's necessarily a good
37:09
Speaker 6: thing to say, but our locker room was awesome. So
37:13
Speaker 6: I feel like that just means so much going forward
37:16
Speaker 6: because JD obviously you know, when you when you're on
37:19
Speaker 6: a good team, the locker room is like the best part.
37:23
Speaker 4: And like when I was on the.
37:24
Speaker 6: Kings, there were there were days where we knew that
37:27
Speaker 6: they were gonna be work days, but we were gonna,
37:29
Speaker 6: you know, leave the rink and we were gonna go
37:31
Speaker 6: grab lunch and have beers and.
37:33
Speaker 2: And then lunch the next day.
37:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then show up the next day and then
37:38
Speaker 6: you know, have a game and fucking and beat and
37:40
Speaker 6: and win five to.
37:41
Speaker 4: One or whatever it is.
37:42
Speaker 6: And those are the those are the times where you
37:44
Speaker 6: start building and then you know you move forward.
37:47
Speaker 3: You can't win without a good locker adamant about that,
37:51
Speaker 3: I mean, you know that you know it's you can't
37:52
Speaker 3: win without being just tight.
37:56
Speaker 1: Tylas was awesome, man. Last thought, how's your dog?
37:59
Speaker 6: The dog is driving me nuts. Taking her to the
38:04
Speaker 6: vet today. Make sure everything's all good. I think she
38:06
Speaker 6: needs one more vaccination and then she's gonna be going
38:09
Speaker 6: going on some.
38:09
Speaker 4: Walks and getting some fresh air and hopefully going to
38:12
Speaker 4: tire her out because she woke me up at five am.
38:15
Speaker 4: This one.
38:16
Speaker 2: It so no.
38:19
Speaker 1: No no, Rest of the Wicked. Congrats on obviously a
38:22
Speaker 1: terrific season. Apparently tal saying dog stopped going crazy at
38:25
Speaker 1: one year olds. You got a little bit of time here.
38:27
Speaker 1: Hopefully uh that dog will slow down a little bit.
38:29
Speaker 3: But tals Caesar Chavez or whatever they got over there,
38:35
Speaker 3: Hey May, Congrats of a terrific career obviously keeping things
38:37
Speaker 3: rolling there with the Sharks, and best of luck to
38:39
Speaker 3: the Wife's podcast as well.
38:40
Speaker 1: Thanks buddy, Thanks, thank you guys. All right, thanks so
38:50
Speaker 1: much to talk to Folly.
38:51
Speaker 2: He was great.
38:51
Speaker 1: You share the director's cut. He gave us a lot
38:53
Speaker 1: more other good stuff as well. They're the extended cut,
38:55
Speaker 1: but otherwise it was really good from Tyler again. Wish
38:57
Speaker 1: him must success. Set a file and sixty no more
39:00
Speaker 1: Broadway talk. Tomurs is tardy. Here's enough of it in
39:02
Speaker 1: his own home, so no more Broadway talk. But we
39:04
Speaker 1: did just have made the fourth Be with You, and
39:06
Speaker 1: Tal was discussing Star Wars, which is introducing to his
39:09
Speaker 1: young son. And I've long said that jar Jar Banks
39:12
Speaker 1: is a very problematic character. At the time, George Lucas
39:15
Speaker 1: was ripped for being potentially racist with this. You know,
39:17
Speaker 1: patois accent of this. One of the most irritating characters
39:20
Speaker 1: ever in this universe or any other universe. Jar Jar
39:24
Speaker 1: Banks a character that not aged well, like Yoda and
39:26
Speaker 1: others perhaps or Ewoks. Tal, you have some more observations
39:29
Speaker 1: for those who haven't seen the Star Wars in a while,
39:31
Speaker 1: perhaps movies that have not aged as well.
39:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm not a huge Star Wars guy,
39:36
Speaker 5: but I've been getting more and more familiar with it
39:38
Speaker 5: because my sons loves it right now, mostly the lego.
39:42
Speaker 1: He's six seven five, he's five kids.
39:45
Speaker 5: He said, and he loved the Star Wars stuff at Disney,
39:47
Speaker 5: which they have now. But you know, we did watch
39:50
Speaker 5: some of the I guess, like that middle trilogy, the
39:52
Speaker 5: Phantom mess trilogy, Phantom Menace, trilogy.
39:55
Speaker 1: Phantom No, he's right, it's a phantom mess trilogy.
39:59
Speaker 2: That's a mess.
40:00
Speaker 1: Yes, we can call it that.
40:01
Speaker 5: There's plenty of like strange, problematic stuff in these films
40:05
Speaker 5: you mentioned Jar Jar. There's these like leaders of the
40:08
Speaker 5: Trade Federation in Phantom Menace that wear these robes and
40:12
Speaker 5: speak with these very thick Asian accents that I'm not
40:16
Speaker 5: going to do right now on the podcast. I mean,
40:19
Speaker 5: they're basically hinting right off the hot Hop that like
40:22
Speaker 5: China is coming to take over the world, and then
40:25
Speaker 5: like the attack of the Clones, Like the whole premise
40:30
Speaker 5: at one point is that like there's this army of
40:32
Speaker 5: brown people coming.
40:33
Speaker 1: It's very it's very strange.
40:34
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's plenty of sort of Star Wars conspiracy
40:38
Speaker 5: theorists that have gotten into this. I was just started
40:41
Speaker 5: doing a deep dive and I found a comedian talking
40:44
Speaker 5: about I wish I remember his name, the standup comedian
40:47
Speaker 5: talking about how the Jahuas are like a metaphor for
40:50
Speaker 5: Mexican people.
40:52
Speaker 2: Are we.
40:54
Speaker 1: You gotta find this comedian?
40:56
Speaker 2: What do we? What are we doing? It's just all
40:58
Speaker 2: the racist tropes of Star Wars.
41:00
Speaker 5: Basically, well, it's weird, like you know a clue about
41:03
Speaker 5: any of this, but this, the Asian accents on these
41:06
Speaker 5: characters and Phantom Menace are so strange and so problematic,
41:10
Speaker 5: and that's just you know, it's I still am enjoying
41:12
Speaker 5: it because my son's enjoying it. But you, as an adult,
41:14
Speaker 5: you can't help but watch this stuff and think that
41:17
Speaker 5: I'm not sure this has not aged well.
41:20
Speaker 3: The jar Jar Binks is the absolute worst and best
41:24
Speaker 3: at the same time, even at the.
41:26
Speaker 5: Time, but if this character is awful, yeah, they just
41:29
Speaker 5: gotta like just stuff now that like this new I've
41:32
Speaker 5: never watched this show and Or, but like a new
41:34
Speaker 5: season of and Or just came.
41:36
Speaker 2: Out like too much.
41:37
Speaker 5: I think it is too much, But I think part
41:39
Speaker 5: of the motivation is like, let's make so much Star
41:41
Speaker 5: Wars stuff that we forget about those three movies and
41:46
Speaker 5: they get erased from our collective memory.
41:48
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's that as much as it's
41:50
Speaker 3: just you know, they you know how it is in
41:52
Speaker 3: the movie industry. You they love pumping out a sequel,
41:55
Speaker 3: a prequel, a pre prequel, a CC sequel, an next quill.
42:00
Speaker 3: They just want to get as much money because the
42:02
Speaker 3: Star Wars fandom is so huge and they're gonna if
42:06
Speaker 3: you just put Star Wars, people are going to watch
42:08
Speaker 3: it and you're gonna make money. So it's the same
42:10
Speaker 3: thing with all the Marvel movies. You know, like I'm
42:13
Speaker 3: a big Marvel fan. I was a huge Star Wars fan.
42:15
Speaker 3: And that makes me laugh so much. The Trade Federation,
42:20
Speaker 3: they just lean into the stereotypes and try.
42:23
Speaker 2: To hope we all don't notice.
42:24
Speaker 5: But it's the first fantom menace is these tread.
42:28
Speaker 3: I know exactly what you're talking about, and you said
42:30
Speaker 3: it's good, you said it, and I like did is
42:32
Speaker 3: the same thing with Jarjo where I was like, that's
42:34
Speaker 3: just me, you know, over my head, where I'm like,
42:36
Speaker 3: oh my god, this is a bad accident.
42:37
Speaker 2: I'm just like, oh, they're just leaning in.
42:41
Speaker 1: It's amazing because Lucas, you know what it was here
42:43
Speaker 1: at Filmmakers is a Cura cours out the great Japanese
42:45
Speaker 1: filmmaker and that's Hidden Yeah. No, The Hidden Fortress is
42:49
Speaker 1: a great Japanese film which in many ways ar two
42:51
Speaker 1: D two and you know ce three Peel. Those characters
42:55
Speaker 1: are like emblematic characters in that movie. So I don't
42:57
Speaker 1: know if it's an ode, but I'm.
42:58
Speaker 2: Sure maybe to the to the Asian culture.
43:03
Speaker 1: Doubtful, but we'll give them a after the doubt. Everybody
43:05
Speaker 1: out there enjoyed Star Wars, May the Fourth be with you,
43:08
Speaker 1: Enjoy what's going on in the world of Star Wars
43:10
Speaker 1: and and or currently available on Disney Plus. Big night
43:13
Speaker 1: for Islanders fans is a team when the NHL Draft
43:15
Speaker 1: lottery top pick in the upcoming draft unbelievable. Here jd

43:25
Speaker 1: represented the Islanders the draft lottery the last time they won,
43:28
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and nine. Was there again this
43:30
Speaker 1: week as the ping pong balls went their way, the
43:33
Speaker 1: entire ceremony taking place in Secaucus, New Jersey, where we
43:37
Speaker 1: were employed. I was busy on baseball, but I did
43:39
Speaker 1: see in the hockey department, the hockey pit so to speak.
43:42
Speaker 1: I saw James Glenn and others just just you know,
43:46
Speaker 1: mesmerized by what was going on. Is well, you're watching
43:48
Speaker 1: balls being dropped, but pair of the numbers were great.
43:50
Speaker 1: People were excited and great news only for the Islanders,
43:52
Speaker 1: but also Utah. They go from fourteenth to fourth and
43:55
Speaker 1: is I'm happy for Thomas Sicky, He's coming on the
43:57
Speaker 1: podcast next week. It's great for Islanders fans, but it
44:00
Speaker 1: does seem to me absurd that a team with a
44:02
Speaker 1: three point five percent chance of winning it was tenth
44:05
Speaker 1: ended up putting the draft.
44:06
Speaker 6: You.
44:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta really be careful on this one because
44:11
Speaker 3: I could land myself in hot water. I the I yeah,
44:16
Speaker 3: there's a few things I didn't love about it. I
44:18
Speaker 3: guess listen, we got to we had some shock and awe,
44:21
Speaker 3: but you know, I just I can't stand seeing anything
44:25
Speaker 3: where it's like five, you know, five to ten people
44:28
Speaker 3: sitting on zoom and they're just showing like all the teams,
44:31
Speaker 3: and then it's just everybody's sitting there on zoom like
44:34
Speaker 3: like kind of having like a smile. Like I mean,
44:36
Speaker 3: like I were ready for the draft. It's like, get right.
44:39
Speaker 3: I like getting right to it. You know, the exciting
44:42
Speaker 3: part is not the build up to it. It is
44:44
Speaker 3: the actual ball drop. It's it's the lottery picks, you know.
44:47
Speaker 3: So I just, you know, I like, let's just get
44:50
Speaker 3: the balls going and let's get moving. I I'm a
44:53
Speaker 3: little at a loss for words that the lottery pick
44:57
Speaker 3: winner was the New York Islanders that were you know, what,
45:00
Speaker 3: do they have eighty eight points, they barely missed the
45:02
Speaker 3: playoffs and they win the first pick overall.
45:06
Speaker 2: I don't love that. I know that.
45:08
Speaker 3: Everybody, you know, you look at the odds and it's
45:11
Speaker 3: you know, the odds are in your favor, and you
45:13
Speaker 3: you land that three percent chance of winning the first
45:16
Speaker 3: overall pick. Good for you, that's great. But I do
45:19
Speaker 3: feel like the five worst team should get the opportunity.
45:23
Speaker 3: I know they're really This kind of goes to show
45:25
Speaker 3: you why tanking isn't a good thing, because all these
45:29
Speaker 3: teams that tanked and had awful years this year, the
45:32
Speaker 3: Islanders go and just swoop up the first overall pick
45:35
Speaker 3: and we'll probably get a very you know, they'll get
45:38
Speaker 3: a franchise player that'll come in. So, you know, for
45:40
Speaker 3: all the teams that are looking at losing as many
45:44
Speaker 3: games as possible and mortgaging their future to get the
45:47
Speaker 3: first overall pick, you can potentially lose it, so you know,
45:51
Speaker 3: try to win and try to win now. So and
45:53
Speaker 3: that's just kind of the way the way I see it.
45:55
Speaker 2: It's it's it's so the.
45:57
Speaker 1: Leagu should be happy. This is an anti tanking rules.
45:59
Speaker 1: It's a good thing, and you mentioned it is. As
46:01
Speaker 1: far as big players, there's no Connor Badar because there's
46:04
Speaker 1: no U mac Let's cell, Brady James Hagan's probably the
46:06
Speaker 1: number one overall pick and has you don't think Matt Schaffer, Okay, Canada,
46:11
Speaker 1: let's go. I mean, how do you get.
46:13
Speaker 3: I know, I understand Hagen's because the Islanders, right, because
46:17
Speaker 3: he's from there.
46:18
Speaker 1: But how do you think it changed what the Islanders
46:20
Speaker 1: could do? Lou moves on. I don't think they're gonna
46:23
Speaker 1: you know, they're not rebuilding, but it could be.
46:26
Speaker 2: You know how you know how it is.
46:27
Speaker 3: It's like you know, you know how it is in
46:30
Speaker 3: baseball or any sport like the new GM that comes
46:32
Speaker 3: in like this is the perfect opportunity to put your
46:35
Speaker 3: stamp on the team. You get to put your fingerprints
46:37
Speaker 3: all over that when you pick the first over And
46:39
Speaker 3: it could quite possibly be Hagen's because when I bring
46:42
Speaker 3: a hometown kid home, because you know he is projected
46:47
Speaker 3: at number three, but you know he is still very
46:51
Speaker 3: a very dominant player. So yeah, that is a possibility.
46:53
Speaker 3: And but I think it's great for that franchise that
46:56
Speaker 3: everybody was kind of like, oh my god, it's a
46:58
Speaker 3: mess that's going down the tank and they go get
47:00
Speaker 3: the first overall pick. So congratulations to the New York
47:03
Speaker 3: honors lou With a little sprinkles, a little fairy dust
47:06
Speaker 3: turns in the first overall pick.
47:08
Speaker 1: Lou La Morello on his way out the door. Meantime,
47:12
Speaker 1: Marc Andre Fleur, the retirement tour isn't over just yet.
47:14
Speaker 1: Legendary goalie Green to join former Penguins team at Sidney
47:18
Speaker 1: crossby compete for Canada at the DOUBLEAHF World Championship. This
47:21
Speaker 1: is always fun to watch. If your team doesn't make
47:24
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you say, well, at least they're gonna go
47:26
Speaker 1: represent Canada. Representing your country in any level is exciting
47:29
Speaker 1: and for Flower, I just think this is a great story.
47:31
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll go out a champion and get one more Tunnle,
47:34
Speaker 1: what do you think?
47:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I got to play World Championships. It's
47:38
Speaker 3: that very unique tournament where guys have to volunteer. You
47:42
Speaker 3: have to like kind of you get asked, but a
47:45
Speaker 3: lot of guys, some guys say no because they've played
47:47
Speaker 3: a lot during the season, and some guys have played
47:50
Speaker 3: so many years for Team Canada at the Olympics and
47:52
Speaker 3: at other places that they just say no, I'm good.
47:54
Speaker 3: So it's one of those rare tournaments for on the
47:58
Speaker 3: international stage where guys kind of like elect to go.
48:01
Speaker 3: And you could see a lot of guys with with
48:03
Speaker 3: Flurry's Nate, they're kind of going on one last tour,
48:06
Speaker 3: have a little fun together. It's a great tournament. I
48:09
Speaker 3: just think the first two weeks is just a blast.
48:11
Speaker 3: You get to know all the team, the guys on
48:13
Speaker 3: the team. You go out, you play these kind of
48:16
Speaker 3: pre tournament games that aren't really worth or don't mean anything,
48:20
Speaker 3: so you kind of get the feeling back. You've already
48:22
Speaker 3: played all season, so you kind of already in shape
48:25
Speaker 3: and ready to go, and you just kind of enjoy
48:27
Speaker 3: being playing for Team Canada trying to win a championship
48:30
Speaker 3: and also just enjoying your teammates and kind of enjoying
48:32
Speaker 3: the start of the summer so to speak.
48:35
Speaker 1: Where was the hell when you played it?
48:37
Speaker 3: We went to we start in Geneva. As we went
48:40
Speaker 3: to Geneva, it was in Paris.
48:42
Speaker 2: It was awesome. We were in Paris.
48:43
Speaker 3: Family came got to see the city and then the
48:46
Speaker 3: finals were in Cologne, Germany. Nice, so we kind of
48:49
Speaker 3: got to go to Geneva for the pre tournament.
48:52
Speaker 2: It was amazing.
48:53
Speaker 3: And then from Geneva we went to Paris. Two weeks
48:56
Speaker 3: in Paris, then we went to Cologne, Germany.
49:00
Speaker 1: Pretty sick in the season, definitely.
49:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then from there I went to Budapest. Nice.
49:05
Speaker 1: I've heard great things about Hungary. Oh, architecture.
49:09
Speaker 3: I tell the food, the architecture, the history is very
49:15
Speaker 3: underrated and very incredible.
49:16
Speaker 1: Little Chicken, Paprikash Little Paprika and one final five who
49:21
Speaker 1: were sitting our bestatory Krug, following revelation this week from
49:24
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Blues general manager Dark Armstrong, the thirty four
49:27
Speaker 1: year old defenseman and not expect to play again in
49:29
Speaker 1: the NHL. Krug missed this past season after undergoing ankle surgery.
49:33
Speaker 1: Signed a seven year contract of the Blues in twenty twenty. Obviously,
49:37
Speaker 1: it's tough news for Kruk. He came to the league
49:38
Speaker 1: with the Boston Bruins in twenty twelve undrafted free agent
49:41
Speaker 1: at a Michigan State university. When you see a player,
49:44
Speaker 1: unfortunately his career cut short.
49:45
Speaker 6: J D.
49:46
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can appreciate how tough it must be
49:48
Speaker 1: seeing this season not really a career, I should say,
49:50
Speaker 1: and nothing we wanted to.
49:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, you always want to go out on your own,
49:56
Speaker 3: you know, on your own shield. You always want to
49:58
Speaker 3: go out your own way. You want to write your
49:59
Speaker 3: own story and you want the ending to be yours,
50:02
Speaker 3: and you don't want it to be forced on you.
50:04
Speaker 3: And you know, I had my back surgery two three
50:08
Speaker 3: years ago and I thought I would never play again,
50:10
Speaker 3: and I was able to kind of come back and
50:11
Speaker 3: play one game in the NHL and that was kind
50:13
Speaker 3: of my me writing the final chapter on my career.
50:16
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm so grateful looking back now that
50:19
Speaker 3: I got to be able to do that, as hard
50:20
Speaker 3: as it was so for Tori to kind of not
50:22
Speaker 3: have that closure. And you know, what a great season
50:25
Speaker 3: career he's had. And you know it was similar. You know,
50:29
Speaker 3: I'm not we weren't a similar player, but we both
50:32
Speaker 3: played played physical for not being the biggest guys and
50:36
Speaker 3: did incur a lot of injuries and you know, unfortunate
50:40
Speaker 3: stuff that could sometimes be avoided. So it's always sucks
50:43
Speaker 3: to see guys get their careers cut short. Because of injury,
50:46
Speaker 3: because it's it's just the way it works, and you
50:49
Speaker 3: it really is luck of the draw, a little bit
50:51
Speaker 3: of avoiding some injuries. There's guys that know that played
50:53
Speaker 3: never got a scratch and you know, a fifteen year career,
50:56
Speaker 3: and other guys that couldn't get ten games without getting injured.
51:00
Speaker 3: So just the way it is. You know, I wish
51:02
Speaker 3: him the best in retirement. Hopefully get him on the
51:04
Speaker 3: show and talk to him a little bit. But everything
51:07
Speaker 3: I've heard about him, he's a fantastic guy and just
51:10
Speaker 3: a warrior on the ice.
