  Speaker 1: You're listening to the Armchair GM Sports Network.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: For just the second time ever, we're live with colin Ward.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I'm Reice Domini BC is in the clouds. Colin Ward
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: out here looking professional. I've got my Jackfish gear on.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: More on that later on in the show. The reason
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: for us being live is because there was a Game
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: seven yesterday and there's a game one tomorrow. Doesn't really
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: work out in terms of releasing something that's previously recorded,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: so live was probably the best option, if not the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: only option, for us. This week, we'll kind of give
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: everyone a rundown of what's going to happen on this
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: week's show or this round show. I guess headlines around
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the Ontario Hockey League. There is no longer a head
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: coach in Sue Saint Marie by the name of John Dean.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Those two parties decided to mutually part way, so we
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: know colin Ward has some thoughts on that. Sam O'Reilly
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: named MVP effect thanks to mister colin Ward. January, Kayshawn
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Achison named the Best Defenseman, uh cars Woodall the Humanitarian
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Award and the Ted Baker Teammate finalists. That's all how
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: we're pretty well going to start this show, and then
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: we look at the conference finals. We're gonna start with
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Branford and Barry that went the distance to seven games,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: some other stuff to go over that's not about hockey,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that yeah, and then Winter and Kitchener. Interesting stat that
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I saw earlier today from Mike Farwell, if the winsor
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Spitfires score on three more shots, they're off to the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: OHL Finals to play the Barry Golts which I thought
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: was really interesting. So we're gonna touch on that. It
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: was much closer series than THEO it appeared to be
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: thanks to five games. And then we look at the finals.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It's Barry and Kitchener for the j Ross Robertson Cup.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: We're gonna finish off with that on this live edition
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: of the Ohl and sixty podcast. But first off, John
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: d no longer the head head coach in Sue Saint
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Marie as the two sides agreed to part ways. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: know this was a little bit of go but he
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: was hired by the club July twelfth of two thousand
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and eight, and uh yeah, eight years, seven seasons. He
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: was the head coach an overall regular season record of
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: two forty five one seventy eight, thirty one, and eighteen
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: for a total of four hundred and seventy two games.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Pretty damn good record. However, if you do not win,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it really does not make a difference what your regular
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: season record is. Colin Ward, I know we've spoken numerous
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: times we're not a huge fan of coaches who are yellers.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: John Dean is one of those guys who does yell
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: fairly often on the bench, at least from what we've
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: seen in person. So what are your thoughts on this? Yeah,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I don't care about in the dressing room. I think
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: there's a time and place where you have to let
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: it rip if you're a coach. But during the play,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I mean junior hockey, I just don't see how often
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that works out. You look around the elite coaches in
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the Atario Hockey League for instance, like you know, see
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: them say a peep on the bench.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: It's always the assistant coaches that do things, and I
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I just don't like the way it operates. I'm more
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: of a John Deere fan the Tractor for those that
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: aren't from the dellha Ontario, But yeah, I'm more of
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a Tractor fan of the John Deere but it was time.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: It was time, and you know, there's always a shelf life.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Eight years is a long time in the OHL to
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: be with a team. That's obviously if you're not the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Hunters or in London. I mean, hey, recess video, I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I think that, like, you know, it's obviously it's a
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: long time like to be with a team. And I
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: feel like, yeah, it was time. You look at their
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you look at their last couple of seasons. Here you
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: get a first round exit, you get a second round
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: exit in twenty three, twenty four.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: This year's a second round exit. It was time. It
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: was time.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: You Hey, you go back to two years ago, that's
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: when it first started with watching too, thinking, man, this
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: is kind of a t like I always thought when
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I look at teams in the West, I look at
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: teams in the East and the individual conference. I start off,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I look at the division. Do you play a certain
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: team in the division, how do you match up against?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: You play a certain conference, how do you match up against?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I look at in the West. I think of London
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: being that standard, that team every year that's in that mix,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: you know, And I think about John Deane going up
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: against the Hunters and yes, he won the round this
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: year and that made me look really dumb. But Barry
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: fans would attest to that in my DMS. But uh,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I think that. Uh I think that like it was time,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: it was time to make the move, and you look
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: at the coaches. I don't like the uh I don't
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: like the match up against other coach in the Western Conference.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: From the Sue Saint Marie Greyhounds down to the Kitchener Rangers.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: The press conference was held earlier today in Kitchener Josh
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Sweetlan who does a phenomenal job hosting that press conference
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: there and getting things rolling along very smoothly as he
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: does always. Samuel Riley is the MVP in the Ontario
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Hockey League. He takes home the Red Tilson Trophy, awarded
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: to the league's most outstanding player, as voted by us
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: OHL accredited writers and broadcasters. So O'reiley, of course, splitting
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: time this season between the London Knights and Kitchener Rangers.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Full article up on the OHL website. I do encourage
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you to go and read that. That seemed to be
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the most impactful trade this year in the Ontario Hockey League.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Obviously there were a ton of ton more moves made
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: around the league, but it seems like o'reiley and Woolly
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: have really made a difference for the Kitchener Rangers. Me personally,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I voted for Nathan aspitall. I did have him as
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: my Red Tilson vote. Colin obviously Sam O'Reilly fans, so
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: going with Sam o'reiley for for your vote. But a
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: lot of people I've seen comments on both sides about oh,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think so, but I've seen way more like, yeah, okay,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: he was. He was pretty damn good. Changed he changed
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the team. I mean it's the most valuable player.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: He was the most I think there's three players in
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: the league that was unanimous in a league of their own.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I thought Samuel Riley, Colebode Win, Jacobrien, and I don't
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: think anything else was really close to that. I thought
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Samuel Riley was incredible, the way he was around the net,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the way he changed the game.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: You look at his line. And I love.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: About the press conference and as you can go here
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: on the website, I love that in the press conference
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: they talked about with commissioner about it's not about points.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: It's not about points, and fans generally get excited about points.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: That's the first thing.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: They look at his points this occasion, it's not always
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: about points. And when you look at what he did
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to the Rangers coming there, he had forty three points
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: in twenty eight games. As it says on the screen
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: on YouTube for those watching, that's incredible this season for
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the Rangers since coming over. You look what he did
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: twenty eight and twenty eight with London. On top of that,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: like every team he's been on, he's been good. You
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: look at what he's done in the mem Cup. He's
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: gonna be in the finals, the first player ever four
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: years in a row to play in the entire Hockey
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: League finals. That's incredible and I mean it's no secret.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: It's no secret. Shout out to his agent, David McNamara
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: got to talk to him game five last Thursday in Branford.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Anything of us Thursday.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Day, Yep, great age, great agent. But yeah, high, high
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: regards on Sam o'reiley. This kid, This sky's the limit.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: You saw we did the World Juniors. It feels like
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: for PC, it felt like all those clips that were
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: coming out about Sam.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: O'reiley, it feels like an effect that brings a tear
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to my eye.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Take that Barry fans in the comments. But yeah, I
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: know where this one's going later. But yeah, I think that, uh,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Sam o'reiley definitely well deserved what he's brought into the table.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: The Rangers just aren't where they are without Sam O'Reilly.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: He was, He's been incredible and I can't wait to
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: see what this final, uh what this finals is like
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: He will be going up against New York Islanders prospect
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and defenseman Kayshawn Ahison, who is named defenseman of the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Year in the Ontario Hockey League the Max Kaminski Trophy,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: which is presented to the OHL Defenseman of the Year
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: as voted on by the league's general managers. Pretty record
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: setting season for Hison and Barry. He led all OHL
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Blue Liners franchise mark of seventy points, club record of
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: twenty eight goals by a defenseman, plus minus rating of
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: plus forty six. And yeah, he was the best defender
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: in the league. I think it was. It was fairly unanimous.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: A guy that, Yeah, in that seven game series against Branford,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: if he didn't play thirty minutes, I was really surprised.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: So for Hison, we can say what we want about
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: that press conference we're gonna get to it in just
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: a second. Kayshawn Ahsen is the best defenseman in the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Ontario Hockey League. He is very, very good. He's a
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: first round talent. Funny to think that he could potentially
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: be in Hamilton next year with the you Don't care
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: h club. Yeah yeah, right, doesn't care. He works hard. Yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: he doesn't care that he's the league's best defenseman. He
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: probably does work. You don't care. But again, again, again,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: that's something that's something that's really hard to argue. He
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: is the leagu's best defenseman. He really is, and he
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: put it on display all season long without a doubt.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I mean the minutes he played.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: He played forty two minutes in Game seven, played forty
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: minutes in games in Game six, forty minutes in Game five.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I mean you look at the forties here with their
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: season on the line, with Cole Bodewin going down like
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: that like That's that was huge for case on Hsen
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: to step up like that. Honestly, it was him and
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Ben Herebic more horobic, but Aichston was incredible. You look
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: at the playoffs he's had right now on this stretch.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Then he eat a big play, he makes a big
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: play and he honestly, when you think about the Barry Colts,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: you think about Kashawan Achison, That's the Barry Cults.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: It's Keyshawn Ahison's team.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: And when you watch them play and you watch the
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: identity he plays with, that's the Barry Colts.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We mentioned it on the Dogcast. He is very
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: much the Brent Clark of the Barry Colts this year.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I know Brent Clark frustrated a lot of people in
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three playoffs. Ahsen very similar. They were
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: both the best defenseman on their team, best defenseman in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the league, played physical, could put up points. Yeah, I'd
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: say very similar. So more of the awards. The Ted
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Baker Teammate of the Year Award finalists were announced as well.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: They include Andre Mondo of the Kingston Front and act
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: defenseman Matthew Adanofski of the Kitchen Rangers, also a defenseman,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Hayden Reid of the Niagara Ice Dogs, Josh Glavin from
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the saganaw Spirit, and Wyatt Kennedy from the winsor Spit five.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Awaiting the announcement on who takes that one home, But
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: those are your nominees. For that award, and I believe
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: we have to go over the Mickey Reno Captain's Trophy
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: as well. The finalists for that Jacob Brien of the
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Branford Bulldogs, Nathan Asman, all the Flip Firebirds, Liam green Tree,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: the Windsor Spitfires, and Brady Martin of the Sue Greyhounds. Again,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: that's a coin flip for all of those guys. You
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: know you like Liam green Tree because Mickey Reno was
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: a Windsor spit Fire that that doesn't mean an automatic
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: but Liam green Tree We're gonna get to that as
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: as we break down Kitchener and Windsor that Western Conference
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Finals series. But he will be missed in in Windsor,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: that's for sure.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Winters review coming next week. By the way, it's got
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to put the video together.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: No spoilers, no spoilers today right now on the spot.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: No spoilers.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: But it was a neither neither of your favorites one
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: for me. That's the only spoiler.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Also work, all right, that's all good. Okay, let's get
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to the conference finals. We're gonna start with the Eastern
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Conference Finals. We're gonna start with hockey first and then
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: we'll get to the other crap. So Branford and Barry
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: go seven. This series was three to one at one
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: point for the Branford Bulldogs. Did a lot of people
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: expect them to steamroll them in game five? Sure? After
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Game number four, after that effort in game number five,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: did we think that Branford was gonna end it in
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Barry yep, and based off of a faulty review, they
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: should have, but Barry out goalie Branford. In my opinion,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Ben her Rebik gave them saves when they needed it,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: and I thought there were moments where it'd be like, oh,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: you know, it'd be awesome to get a save there
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: from from Leanders, and it just didn't come. Unfortunately, he
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: played great. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Rierson
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Leanders whatsoever, but it just felt like that extra save
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: that a goaltender needs to make. Ben Herebic gave the
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Colts that and and he is one of the main
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: reasons why they are moving on to the Ohl Championship Series.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: He was phenomenal. It's really hard to ignore the play
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: from Ben Herebic. Obviously, Colbo Dwin going down is tough,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: you know, I understand that his play wasn't up to
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: par in Game five, but you know, then he goes
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: out with an injury. Funny how that worked out. But yeah,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I mean Branford had this series. They really did a
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: three two lead heading into the third or a two
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: one lead heading into the third, and game five a
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: three two lead heading into the third, and Game six
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: you just got to lock it down defensively, and that
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: tying goal in game six, that overhead view you sort
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: of told us a lot about what the last two
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: plus games were where there were full four Bulldogs on
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the ice at the one side of the crease and
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: one colt left out and actually two colts left out
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: in front and the puck ends up in the back
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: of the net behind Ryerson Landers. First time all series
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: there was a shot from there. Yeah so tight, Yeah exactly.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: So what what do you make of this one? One? More?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: In m I off, Do I sound stupid? I might
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I sound stupid more often than not, But it just
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: it felt like the Bulldogs got out goalied in those
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: last few games.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Well, you go over the series and you're thinking, all
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I can think of is Ben Herebik. That's all I
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: can think about in the series. I mean, I look
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: at Game five, the Bulldogs were spotty at times. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: look at Game six, it was a five minute lapse
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: where Branford wasn't the better team and Barry made him pay.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And I mean, that's what Barry's done all season. You
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: watched the Barry Colts all season. You have a you
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: have a shift off against the Barry Colts, you get
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: undirected again them. You started going on the two way
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: instead of the one way, you're in trouble. And that's
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: what happened there. And that's a team they got a
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: lot of big goals in big situations. You look at
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: their third line against the Bulldogs third line late in
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: the games there. As the games went on, they got
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: out played and they got out possessed. I think maybe
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: the Branford went a little bit individual at times, especially
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Game seven.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: They're down one nothing in the third period. Next thing
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: you know, it's two nothing.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: You take a high stick penalty, ends up being a
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: four minute and the period beginning the period, second and
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: third period on the power play to the Barry Colts.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: They make no mistake to start the period. That was
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: kind of the backbreaker to where the Bulldogs you just
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: saw individual trying to make plays. It wasn't getting pucks
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: in DP, it wasn't on their d it wasn't inside
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: on their defense. Their defense are big, they're talented. They're
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: a really good team. Barry, and that's what you saw.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: You saw a good team close out a game the
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: way a good team does close out a game. And
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Ben Herevik like, I say, I think when I look
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: back at the series, I look at game six now
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: it makes sense if the Bulldogs get beat five nothing
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: in Game seven, because it felt like they ran out
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: of lock. It feels like you get all those chances
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, it's like, hey got.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: You may last.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay lightning about Game seven and some montre All
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Canadians they give a out nine shots on goal and lose.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sure any Tampa Bay fan right now is like,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: and how did we lose that game?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: How do you lose that game? Seven? Sevens? Switching now
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: or anything can happen. A lot of Bulldogs fans are thinking,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: how the hell did we lose games five and six? Yeah,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: we're better, you know, well, you had two open nets
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: right with the series on theline. Yeah, exactly, Cooper Dennis
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and I hate mentioning names, but Cooper Dennis in overtime
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: in Game five, Merk van Acker in the third period
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: in Game six, Yeah, it just those were Those were tough,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: and I see the chat is uh Is often running. Yeah,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: that's a great point. The Steelheads additions for the Barry Colts.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: You look at Zebeski, you look at von Richter. Those
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: guys were horses for the Colt You talk about the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Beeski in Game six with the winner von Richter. Again,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: we talk about how much we saw Hison in how
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: many minutes he played. Von Richter I would say was
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: right up there, not too too far behind. So you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: that's what happens when you're in division. You get a
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: you get a good look at guys and you're thinking, hey,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: you know, I'd really love to have that guy in
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: my team. And and Marty Williamson goes out and gets
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Mason Zebeski goes out and gets Parker von Richter, and
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I love They're off to the OCHIL Championship Series thanks
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: to them.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I love the PVR AD because it kind of makes
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: your team a little bit. It gives that little pivot point, right.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: He played the two spot with the Ahison. Most of
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: the time he played the three spot. You know, like
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: any pair, you can be in the second pair, you
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: can be in the first pair behind Ahison, like I mentioned,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: like be the second pair.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Be that guy.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Uh, you can play any spot. He can play on
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: any pairing on your team and be successful. I'm sure
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: if you give him the call up to play on
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: the first pair with Huson, he'd be effective.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: In that role too. That's that's that ad that really
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: stands out.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Then you look at Sebaski, right with Heming and Bodwin,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: he kind of brings an element less physicality. I mean
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Bodwin obviously, the way he plays a game, he's gonna
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: naturally draw contact with how big he is, how strong
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: he is. Right, it's naturally gonna be a center, You're
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: naturally gonna draw contact. But adding Zebeski kind of brings
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: that extra element into the line where it's like, okay, Heming,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: you know the shot, you know, the catch and release style,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: the way he plays the hockey game. Uh, you got
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: a quick shot pucks on an office stick like that. Like,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: then you look at Bodwin, who's a two way guy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Sebesky hard up and down the wing, they really compliment
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: each other well, and you saw that throughout the series,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: even when bod Win's in the lineup. And also Brad Gardner,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: how big was he in the series. I mean he
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: is a bulldog.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Killer bulldog. I was just about to say that goes
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: back to sixty seven days. He loves playing against the
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Brandford Bulldogs.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, I mean you look at that ad last season, right,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: like you get the two years obviously Crombie another one,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: uh Perry. I mean a lot of underrated moves, right,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: a lot underrated moves. And I and this is kind
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: of a little bit off topic.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I hope not chat. Don't bury me, don't bury me.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: But I know it's one of those ways with this
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: new agreement, with the new landscape at the OHL, this
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: is one of the ways too to make your team better,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: like how you get better, how.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: You take a step up. It makes the league kind
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: of better.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: And that's why we're here gonna hear all this talk
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: about expansion, because you're gonna have a lot of good players.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Now there's gonna be ninth round picks playing. Those ninth
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: round picks that were American players before that got picked
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: by London, Like those guys gonna go now in the
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: first round. Now, all of a sudden, you're gonna have
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: a true talent draft to where and wonder why we
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: need an expansion because some of these guys who are
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: damn good players who have played in the Antario Hockey
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: League years past, are going to have an opportunity now
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: on expansion teams. I think that's one of the reasons
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: why you need expansion quick. With the new landscape going,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: you would need at least two expansion teams. It allows
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: at least, hey, you have an extra two draft. That
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: makes a little bit of a difference.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yea.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: And that kind of makes sense now when you hear
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: about expansion stuff, And that's what I wanted to mention too.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: You really saw that in the series.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: You look at both these teams that have added from
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: their from their agreements. You look at the signings that
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Barry has made throughout the season. You know about Branford
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: with Cooper datis to get in.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: The commitment kill Malt. That just speaks for itself.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Like with the agreement, I mean, it makes the league better.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: You're going to see true players now go early instead
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: of the seventh round. You're gonna see them go in
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the first round, and you're really gonna see a lot
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: more year in and year out. And Barry, you look
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: at their signings that they've been making here throughout the
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: season for next year, this team, like, I guess you
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: win next year exactly.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: And just because sorry, go ahead, just because you win.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: You go on a run, doesn't mean that next year
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: you don't have a chance because now with the landscape, man,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: you don't know, like it can change a lot faster
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: than you think. You signed two players that you wouldn't
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: be able to sign anybody for now you signed two
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: players that are free agents.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Changes your team, changes your team, It changed, It brings
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: another element. It allows you to maybe speed up a
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: year instead of having to wait three years, maybe you
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: have to wait two years. Yeah, the drafts still going
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: to mean something, but you're I think less weight time
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: if you can be effective in your free agent signings.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: And then both these two teams have done a great
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: job throughout the season on that.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, it's the Central Division. Who the heck knows?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: What's that? What that's gonna be like New GM and Niagara?
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: What else is new? Who knows? How the heck, that
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: team's gonna Look, I don't expect Sudbury to really be
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: near competing for a championship, yet North Bay might be
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: the closest them and Barry could go at it quite
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: a bit. I don't see Brampton really, you know, making
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: full strides forward to being a championship contender. Yet like
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: it's it, I don't. I don't know what the Central
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Division is going to be next year. It's it's really
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: tough to every day. And so with those signings that
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Berry's making, you're right, let's go at it again, your
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: number three? North Bay did it? You know, it's it's
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: kind of been a toss up in the Central Division.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: It's either Barry or North Bay in the in the
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: conference finals over the last number of years, and and
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: nobody else has really been close to to those last
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: five yeah, five seasons. I guess it was the last
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: two including this year the Barry Colts and then previous
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: years three straight by the by the North Bay battalions.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: So who knows have something to say too with the
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: deadliney had, they'll there'll be a competitive take and they're
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: gonna be a solid team.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: One of you too, Yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: If they don't trade anybody e A London, that's that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: So I mean, And and Caleb Malhultra has been been
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: brought up in the chat as well. He is not
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: right now getting traded to Gwelph. Let's get that out
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: of the on the floor. That is not something that
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: has been agreed upon. That's not a side deal right now.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Could it happen, Sure it could happen. Vancouver well has
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: has the pieces. But if he gets you know, he's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: gonna get drafted. Why why was I even gonna say
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: that he's gonna get drafted. He's gonna be a top
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: five pick. He is committed to Boston and uh, the
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: thing about that and and something that people won't know
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: about Caleb just watching him play and and you know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: maybe get him on a high five every once in
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: a while. And but we've come to learn being around
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: the Bulldogs that killed Malhulcher is a big commitment guy.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: That's why he was in the BHL last year. He
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: had committed to go play there, so he wanted to
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: go fulfill that commitment. Well, now he commits to Branford
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: for this year or technically this past season. Now for
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the Bulldogs. But he commits to Brantford for twenty twenty six. Well,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: he's gonna honor that commitment and go there unless he
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: gets signed to an entry level contract because the NHL,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: his NHL club really wants to get him signed. He's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: committed to Boston. He's going to Boston. That that's just
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: the kind of player he is. You know. Again, unless
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: he's got that entry level deal, and unless Spencer Hyman
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: is a magician and and gets him to come back
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: to Branford without the entry level deal, it seems like
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Kila Malhotra is Boston bound. I mean Toronto getting the
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: number one pick, Brandon, that's your filt, Toronto getting the
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: number one overall pick. The draft has been in Buffalo
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: both times. I blame Buffalo. Okay, not you. I blame Buffalo,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: but I know you're in around two. You're probably gonna
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: be in round three. Uh we're big Buffalo right now.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: But I mean, for for for Branford, where where do
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: they go from here? You've got to way goalies next year,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: and David erob and and Ryerson Leanders. I don't expect
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: both of them to be back because you've got Maxim
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Korovic ready and waiting to come up and be whether
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: he's a backup, whether he takes over the number one job,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Who the heck knows? Another guy that could very well
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: get drafted this year, as he had a phenomenal season
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: with Collingwood, But Bulldogs went all in and again draft picks.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think are as a big a deal as
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: they used to be. Are they huge? Sure, you can't pick.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: You can't be the Toronto maple Leaves and pick twice
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: a draft, like, you can't do that. But I think
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: in terms of if you can get the right free agents,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: then you might be okay not having a third one year,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: you might be okay not having a couple fourths or
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: a second, like you know what I mean. Like it's
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: so and we know the Bulldogs have signings upcoming. We're
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: gonna see them released as the weeks come along. But
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: where do they go from here? Yeah?
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: You know, I think they gotta get picks. They gotta
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: get picks back. Definitely gonna make a move with a goaltender.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I doubt Ryshon Leanders makes signs his entry level deal
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: with the Buffalo Sabers. Obviously, the NCAA is still a thing.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: What do they do there? I expect the Bulldogs to
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: be hungry on.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I expected to set a standard early on with veteran
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: players expecting to be an n picks.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, hey it didn't work out. Sucks, but that's the
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: way it goes.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: And I know from the Bulldog perspective, they fully expect
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Caleb maholt to be in the Vancouver Canucks.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I mean they expected to me in the NHL.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: The draft lottery for Vancouver worked out perfectly perfectly for
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Vancouver one Toronto two San Jose number three Kaler Malholter
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: of Vancouver.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: It seems like the most automatic thing. He should go one.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: But obviously that's not buy it at all Barry fans
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: in the m But yeah, no, I yeah, I uh no,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I think that.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Uh. I think Caleb Maholter goes to Vancouver.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: I think it's a perfect match and I think he
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: has every chance. So that I saw with the Vancouver
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Canucks this season, absolutely is every chance to make the
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: NHL out of training camp at eighteen years old, with
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: how he's played in the in the playoffs this pass
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: but season for the Bulldogs, why the next steps the NHL?
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: I mean you look at him with his potential will
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: be if he came back, I mean, he'd light.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: It up like you did in the postseason.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: So I think if Vancouver is the next stop, and
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: I think he goes number three overall to Vancouver. And
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: I see Jordan Henry in the comments shout out to
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Chase Reid. You started to Chase Reid train last season
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: at the prospects game in Branford, and now we look
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: at it, Chase Reid. Now those are those are the
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: two top picks of the o HL hands down, gonna
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: have two top five picks.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be killed. A Hulter and Chase Read in
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the top five. It all depends on if you need
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: a center or if you need a defenseman. Yeah, I
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: think who knows. BC. Before you got on Reach, we
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: had to talk about that quickly. About san Jose, I.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Think I think ver hof Or to pair with Dickinson,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: so they got a lot of elite forwards, so I
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: think I think san Jose has got to go d
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: But that's me.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: That's fair. Yeah, Well, speaking of high end prospects on
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Michael Misa and Branford for Game number five, hanging out
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: with Nick Lartis those twour buddies, so that was pretty
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: cool to see them get together for that one.

  Speaker 3: I can?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: First off?
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: First off, not just because you're in the comments section.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Jordan Henry, Josh Sweetland, Colin Jennings Ohl incredible job. Incredible job.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: That was a horrible situation for Josh Sweetland to go
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: through on Monday night for Game seven. Shout out to
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: those guys the way they handle that situation. That was
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: incredible out of them. And I'm not saying that because
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: you're in the comments section. I'm not even reading the
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: comments section anymore. But I'm just saying this right now
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: that no, shout out to those guys because this is
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: like what we saw on Monday night.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a bad luck, but shout out to
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: those guys for the way they handled it. Before I
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: get I'll start off by saying I was not in
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: the building for Game seven. I thought it was a
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: bad look to miss work after getting promoted, and the
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: first day, hey, I can't be there. So I did
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: have it on my phone. I may have had a
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: three hour break at work to watch a hockey game.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: In the postgame comments, it was I don't know if
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: a slap in the face is the right word, but
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: if if you didn't want to speak after your team
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: was denied full entry in there, I why not just
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: give the simple answers? Uh, you know with the Ben
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Herrebit question, Yeah, he was great. I think that's better
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: than what was said and I get it's their team motto.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I understand that it's printed on those stupid clappers that
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I still hate to this day. I am not a
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: fan whatsoever. Oh those are back to when I lived
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: in Cambridge went to Ranger games and those would be
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: the thing on the seats. I'd be like, oh, where's
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: the towels? And because I'd get bored after the game.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: So so that happens, social media blows up like we
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: expected it to. The commissioner makes a statement on it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Thanks to Josh Brown, you can go read that now
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Waterloo Region Record. Josh Brown does a heck of a
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: job covering the Kitchener Rangers will be all over the
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: OHL Championship series. He wrote something about it and then yeah, yeah,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: here's the here's the quote from it. The commissioner essentially said,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: not good. Yeah, we expect them to handle themselves in
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: an appropriate manner and participate with the media with the
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: standards that we expect in the league in the way
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: they have done traditionally. And again, for some context for anyone,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: this was because they are not allowed more than just
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: the one player in the dressing room. If you have
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: been to Branford, you know how big those rooms are.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: That was not happening, even if they were allowed to.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: That was not happening based off of how big that
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: room was. And that's why the Civic Center is a
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: temporary building in Branford and a new one is being
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: constructed as we speak. That is, and I had a
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: whole rant planned. You know how fired up we were
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: last night, BC, myself, Colin Ward, we were you know,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: for lack of a better term, pissed off about that.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: And again I was not in the building. I'm watching
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: this on flow and we're not gonna play the clip.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: It's all over social media. You can find it if
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: you want. That felt like they didn't get their way,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: so they threw a fit like a five year old.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: That's just my personal opinion on it. I'm not going
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: to go into it any any deeper. Smskwitz went on
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: overdrive to apologize for it. I have some thoughts in
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the building. I'm not gonna get to it. Colin was
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: one of the guys there, Jean was there, Brian was there.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe Jean's been in Barry for years. It's covered this
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: team for years. Yeah, but where's the respect for him?
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: That's what bothered me. Yeah, in that moment. And I
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: understand there was an article still written with better quotes,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: so that was obviously done afterwards. But where's the respect
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: up front? And it just I didn't like it. I
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: thought it was just, you know, you threw a fit
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: because you didn't get your way. That That's kind of
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: the way I look at it. It's unfortunate. I'm gonna
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: leave it at that. Off of this conference finals victory,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: could Barry win absolutely? Is it gonna be tough without Bodwin? Yep?
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Is Sam O'Reilly the best player in junior hockey right now?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: He's in the top five right now in the playoffs.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Been that good, It's gonna be hard. So so ride
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: the high now. That's all I've got to say, Colin,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: you can you can have the floor now, Yeah, go ahead. Yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Going through that, that was the most disrespect that I've
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: ever been in sports. It's the most disrespectful thing I've
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: ever saw with my own two eyes. Honestly, Like I said,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I felt bad for everybody in that room. Work your
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: butt off to get there, cover the game, you're thinking
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: throughout the game, questions to ask, and then that's what
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: you get. I really do regret asking not asking a
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: question like I really do wish I would ask a
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: question like an important question where if you dodge it
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: it looks even worse. But hey, I guess you got
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: to show a little bit of respect even though we
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: got zero. Like I said, it was the most disrespectful
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: thing I've ever went through.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: That was a joke.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: And people can talk online and I yes, we're with
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: the bulldogs.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's no secret.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Getting some of the messages I've had on my posts
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: game on our Facebook group is ridiculous. Some of the
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: slurs that had to endure from Barry Colt fans to
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: this afternoon and Monday night is a complete joke. It's
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: a complete joke, the Barry cults. I can honestly say this,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: and I know fans, you guys can go after me.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care. I know my hairline
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: looks like a clown, thank you, But my girlfriend loves it,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: so that's all that matters. You know.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: What it really bugged me was when I see the
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: fans on there, like sending messages and like all the
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: comments that I got about it, I had to like
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: in our Facebook group, we did delete fifty seven messages,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: fifty seven messages throughout the last day, on not even
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: a day, on every single thing about slurs about coaches
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: on the Bulldogs personal like it really does tick me off.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: And just because we made an opinion on what had
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: to endure after the game, like, hey, I don't think
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: it's been a secret, And any Barry coult fan, anyone
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: that's listening to the show, my apologies if I'm biased,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: My apologies to that. But I want to say this
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: right now, back when they talk about about three four
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: months ago, I believe BC even had a reel on
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: it about Hison. I was one of the first ones saying,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I think Ahison's one of the only guys in the
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: OHL that could play right now in the AHL, and
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: we had that rant about it. Yeah, I picked Barry
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: to win the division, them to make the third round.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I picked them to buy So I don't know what
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: that is.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: But the Colts fans going after about that, it's really frustrating.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: It was a long night last night.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: But to see that and to see how the OHL
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: conducted that, the way they handled that.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Was incredible, was incredible.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: And the only reason why we wonder why people are
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: dying off from covering teams and how hard is this
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: to cover a team? Well, if you don't give people
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: access media access, to have an opportunity to move up
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: and to get opportunity. Jeff Merritt tweeted out perfectly how
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: every person in the Entil Hockey League is doing it
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: for an opportunity to get to somewhere, somewhere they dream
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: about going and to get that because you're bigger than
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: the team. Okay, buddy, Okay, good luck. That's why I
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: said after the game Rangers in three, I have like
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: I said, it comes around, goes around. I don't believe.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I don't believe when bad people get good things. I
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: was always told as the kid growing up, good things
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: happen to good people.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: It's obviously not true. That was frustrating. It was.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: It was a frustrating night. It's been a frustrating day,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: and anyone that wants to complain about it, grow up, anyone,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: And honestly, I don't even care about myself. People going
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: after players messages to players on social media is such
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: a joke, like have fun, have fun, like thanks for
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: supporting in the league, thanks for supporting the series, thank you.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: But to go after what gives you the right to
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: go after a player on social media and stuff like
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: that as a.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Fan is a joke.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: It's a joke, and I don't want I don't even
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: care if I offend anybody on my apologies, my apologies
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: for being biased. I'm sorry, Barry cult fans, but that
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: was out of line. I don't care Game four and
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: for those another thing too, because I've had a few
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I've had a few messages about this too. Few Berry
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Colts fans coming after me, reach Brandon. We know how
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: press conferences work. We know how press conferences work. You
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: look at when the Bulldogs talk first. We always get
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: the first questions. Reese, you and I usually being with
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: the team, you get the first questions. So usually Barry speaks,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Barry gets the first questions.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Gene.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: That's yeah, why not what do we have to ask?
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: You know, if Gene has like five questions to ask,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: the sixth question usually isn't really interesting anyways, So Barry
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: cult fans coming after me about this about oh well,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: where was Bulldog fans in Game four? Where were Bulldog
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: fans in Game three? When the Bulldogs went six to
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: one and nobody showed up to the Colts press conference.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: One one you look, you go back and watch the
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: press conferences. Go back and watch the press conferences. That's
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: how it goes. Gene asked the first questions rightly, So
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: any other Barry media ask the questions first. Why wouldn't
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: that be a thing. So I just want to describe
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: that how usually press conferences goes Breese.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Am I wrong? BC? Am I wrong about that? That's
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: usually I know, like BC with the Ice Dogs.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Before, like it's a pecking order, you know, Like, I
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: don't know, Maybe I'm wrong.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: We don't work for the New York Post. We're not
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: fighting for questions. That's not how the.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Disrespect thing for people to cover the team all season,
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: the amount of years have covered the team, that's how it's.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Got to go. Rees.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I just have one statement I want to make on
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: it and then move on. Is that I feel bad
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: for the media that we're in attendance. I was not
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: obviously I had other commitments or I probably would have
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: been there for that. And for the media members who
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: take the time to drive up, use their gas, stay
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: for the game, sacrifice their time and effort to be
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: able to attend these games as media I thought that
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: was a disrespectful act to them, and we have a
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: job to do as the media as well, and I
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: feel like they didn't allow us to do our job
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: in that sense. And I wasn't even there, but if
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: I was there, I would have probably felt the same way.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: And I just hope that there's a mutual respect going
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: forward between showing up for the team but also showing
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: up for the media after the game. And that's part
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: of the reason why we go, or else we could
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: have just watched the game from home at that point. Yeah,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: that's the only thing I want to say about it.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: And again I give Smaskawitz a little bit of credit
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: for taking ownership of it. Like Colin said, he did
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: it an overdrive instead of maybe could have done it
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: through the OHL.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Call us, there's only six of us there. Make the
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: phone call, make the text message. It's not that hard
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: to get ahold.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Of us apologize. That's a meaningful apology.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Going on a national television show like that isn't really
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: an apology. It to make yourself look good for your
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: own image itself, making yourself look good.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: It doesn't do anything for the media. That wasn't affected.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: That's the way I take it that I have an
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: interviews in the morning shows, but they won't do a
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: pregame interview.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: I just don't like that that the other outlets were
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: putting it out there. Are supposed to be supporting our
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: league and hopefully, unfortunately this overshadowed a great series. That's
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: that's the part that I that hurts me the most
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: is that it overshadowed a fantastic seven game Eastern Conference
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Final series. And this is where we're at.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a game seven for the first time, and that's
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: what we had to do after this was.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Got from the winning team. We never got any answers. Yeah,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: And I mean, I'll just finish it off with this
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: and and Brandon, I think you put it perfectly there.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: People are taking the time out to come and do this.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: You know, newspaper writers get paid to do this. Don't
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: get me wrong, I'm not stupid. I know that. You know,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: some broadcasters receive compensation on the on the cable networks,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: the radio broadcasters, they they get paid to broadcast the
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: games on the radio. When it comes to us, specifically,
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: do Colin and I have a partnership with the Bulldogs
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: to host a weekly Bulldogs podcast. Absolutely we do. Do
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: we help read out with segments for road games on intermissions, Yeah,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: we do. He'll he'll use clips from our show. We'll
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: clip them for them and or or let them know,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: you know, time stamp each part of the show and
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: he can play those on the show. Brandon had had
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: a fairly long partnership with the Niger Ice Dogs and
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: was there twenty four to seven and he's no longer
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: with that club.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I just drove the winsor for two games as well.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and none of these teams are paying us. For
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: anyone wondering, Brandon, You've got sponsors for the network, They've
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: been loyal to you. You've got a great thing going here. Obviously,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: this is your full time job for us. It's for
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Colin and I. It's not. Do we have aspirations to,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: you know, move up somewhere sometime one hundred percent. You know,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Colin Ward grew up a London Nights fan. I grew
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: up in Windsor admired Mickey Reno. You know, I'd moved
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: to Cambridge before this Spitfire Memorial Cup years but it
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: was still a hell of a lot fun to watch.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: I was in front of my great grandmother's television, a small,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: little like thing because she was like ninety two at
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: the time. I think maybe maybe a little bit younger.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: But I watched Game seven when when the spitfires completed
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: the reverse sweep of the of the Rangers. So for us,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: we we do this because we want to go somewhere
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: with this. We went to broadcasting school, Colin, and I
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: did shout out Niagara College, shoutout Mohawks. Colin, Hey, yeah,
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: that's but yeah, I mean, it's really unfortunate how that
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: series ended, you know, for us covering the Bulldogs for
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: one thing, but just just as an overall hockey fan,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: it was really unfortunate. So we're done with that. We're
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: gonna talk about Winsor and Kitchener before we preview the
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Ontario Hockey League Championship series. Uh, this series was way
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: closer than it appeared, much like it seems like a
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: few of these matchups have been throughout the postseason. But
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: to catch the Rangers win in five games. They win
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: four games to one. That includes overtime games in game
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: one and in game number five. This was tight, Colin.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe other than Game four in terms of goals.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: But other than that, like and and I said it
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: off the top. Mike Farwell had a great tweet about it.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: If a certain three shots go win for the Spitfires,
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: they're off to the OHL Championship Series. And the Rangers
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: are in a similar spot to the Bulldogs, Like, well,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: we went all in for the Rangers. It's because they
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: didn't get the Memorial Cup next year. But they're in
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: the same spot, right, And that's just the way things go.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Spit Fires loaded up as well. They made a big
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: trade with the UH with the Subbury Wolves, sending j c.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Lemu up there to get more experience, get a little
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: bit older, you know, and try and go after this thing.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: And and you know, shout out to Joey Costanzo, who
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: played his heart out in this series and in the playoffs.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Show guests not a big deal. It was really good
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: and and Kitchen Rangers were just better, you know, on
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: on certain nights. And and sure the Spitfires, I thought,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: we're really really good in Game three, and we're gonna
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: have a really nice effort the next time. And sure
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: they go up three to nothing in game number five.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: But that's just the way it goes sometimes. And shout
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: out to the Rangers for being, you know, tougher to
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: play against uh for a whole sixty minutes. And the
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Spitfires were because it seems like that's what it came
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: down to, is, especially in Game five, you go up
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: three to nothing and then there's a little bit of
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: you know, you get a little bit of comfort going
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: up three to nothing, not saying that was the case
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: with the bit Fires, but the Rangers were like, cool,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: three nothing still the first period, We're still gonna play hockey,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: and they did and they ended up winning the game
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: in the series that night. Yeah, you know, winsor windsor.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: I thought, like you mentioned, you go back to Game three,
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: you get the win like that, you think, well, hey,
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: game four is huge. Game fours from the postseason history
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: is always the biggest game. It's divider when it's a
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: two to one series like that, three to one, two
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: two two, big difference.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Obviously, Barry overcame that for Winter. They couldn't. I don't
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: I don't quite know. I'm not quite.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Sure why couldn't overcome that, But it's a tough one. Obviously,
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: Kitchen was a really good team coming down the stretch.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: I can't believe I didn't pick them again, Sue, But incredible,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: they're they're a really good team. I mean, they're the
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: favorites in the finals, no doubt, and I think Perry
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: likes it that way.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: For Windsor, I mean, Joey Costanzo was incredible. What a
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: junior career he had.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, obviously tough to see it come to an end,
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: but uh it's too bad. But for Windsor, I mean, yeah,
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: like you mentioned three shots seriously a different way, and
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: I mean it's a big three shots. But you think
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: about when you go to ot twice in the series, right,
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: like you get a couple of bounces there, you got
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: one bounce.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: It goes for you.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: There's two bounces that you get right on to defeat.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: So that's even makes it even tougher. As we uh, as.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: We talk about that series, I'll just say, you guys,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: that were monsters necessary Samuel Riley and Dylan Edwards.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Oh man, so Edward here, I'll ask you. I'll ask
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: you guys this throwing a stick in the crowd, is
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: that the same as shooting a Teddy Bear or a
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: puck into the crowd? Not who's gonna come with that. Nothing,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. But yeah, it's been a conversation.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think anything's coming of it either, but I
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: mean it's the same thing. Anyways. We want to touch
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: on Liam green Tree before we get to the Ontario
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Hockey League Championship series. You know there it's tough to
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: watch press conferences and like this when it uh when
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: it comes to guys ending their seasons and and their
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: junior careers. Liam green Tree, that was a tough watch.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: You know. He goes on to say, it's been the
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: best four years of my life and and being part
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: of such a historic organization like Windsor is is such
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: an honor to put that jersey on every game and
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: play for them. Just an experience that will never forget.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: I love Windsor so much. And I mean you got
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: you saw that with Oliver pier Too joining the intermission
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: there in Windsor about how much he Loveraham being a spitfire.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Abrahams as well. Yeah, it was, Uh, it was tough.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's part of the business obviously. Greg Walters
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: I thought put it pretty well as also he was
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: asked about Joey Costanzo, But yeah, that's that's a classy guy,
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Liam green Tree, and it's gonna suck not see him
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: in a Spitfire uniform in the future. He's so competitive.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: He's one of the most competitive players.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: I know that's an easy cliche to say in the
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: interial Hockey League, but he's literally the definition of competitive.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: I mean Liam green Tree, the career he had and
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: like you mentioned, it's not always about points. He had
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: a good season in the point depart remember, but it's
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: not always about points with him. He brings an identity.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: He brings a heartbeat, he's he's gonna smile. Oh what
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: they know front teeth on the profile picture in the
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: OHL website. Absolutely, yeah, he he was unreal.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Uh, everything about him is competitiveness.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: I love the I love the clip from LA when
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: him talking about the you want it with with the
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: perfect game with Sanos.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: I believe that was unbelievable that clip.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: That's Liam green Tree and I mean brings it every night,
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: just a it's tough.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: It's a tough way to end. It's a tough way
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: to end.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Obviously the quote was something it's always nice and that's
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: the that's the beauty of the OHL. We talked about
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: the negative unfortunately, and you see the beauty of the
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: OHL with Liam green Tree and that was unbelievable.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay, before we round out the show,
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: we got to get to the OHL Championship Series and
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: this will again, this will be the last time we'll
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: record throughout the entire series. Whether it goes four, whether
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: it goes seven. We will chat with you in between
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: the OHL Championship conclusion and the Memorial Cup in Kelowna,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: b C. The Colona Rockets are out of the playoffs
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: by the way, they were eliminated in the second round,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: so they are sitting and waiting. Preparations are currently underway
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: and one of these two teams will take the flight
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: out west. The Barry Colts and the Kitchener Rangers. Rangers
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: have just lost two games in the entire postseason. The
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: longest the series has gone has been five, and that's
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: been in back to back matchups. Of course, five with
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: the Sous, five with the winsor Spitfires. As for the
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Barry Colts, not a lot of time to regroup and
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: get ready. Twelve four and one. Throughout the playoffs so
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: far they've dropped five games, but it really doesn't make
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: a difference how many you lose. It matters how many
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: you win. And if you're at twelve wins, who cares
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: what the number is next to it? And for the
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Barry Colts, and it's weird because Colin growing up as
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: baseball guys and you obviously played travel hockey as well.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: You know, we know how difficult it is, at least
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: for baseball clubs. You know, you sweep in the league
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: championship series and you've got to sit and wait for
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: the World Series to begin. More times than not you're
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: gonna lose. Where is hockey? Yeah, sure, you get tired out,
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. It's it's tough. It's physical, especially
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: what that series was between the Bulldogs and Colts. But
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: but you're playing, You've got reps. It's a game situation, right,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: you know you sure you can create scrimmages in practice.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: And it's not like the Rangers have had two weeks
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: off by any means, but they've been sitting and waiting.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: The Barry Colts have been hanging out. And I look
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: back to twenty twenty two Colin Bulldogs three straight sweeps Spitfires,
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: coming off a seven game series against Flint Firebirds winsor
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: takes Game one in overtime. Obviously, Hamilton went on to
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: win that series, But does it really make a big
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: difference whether or not the Colts sat for three four
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: days whereas the Rangers. I believe they're fon four or
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: five days right now. So yeah, quick turnaround for one
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: and let's get back at her for the other. No,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: I love this for the Colts. I think if you're
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: the Colts, you love this.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Obviously you gotta work harder, but I think that I
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: think for the way Ben horabits playing. You want to start,
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: you want one day off, you're on that same routine
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: that you can after the last two weeks. I think
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: you love this. If you're Barry, I think this game
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: one actually favors Barry. I think the way Ben Horabics played,
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: with the way their defensive coverage has been, with the
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: way I mean they've won their last three games, right,
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: I mean you look at that, right, You want to play,
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: you don't want the time off.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: So I think for the Barry Colts, his favors the
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Barry Colts, I think, and they're clearly okay with getting
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: out shot like that's been the case for the last.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: So you've got Ben goal cares, how many shots the
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: other team gets, the.
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: Way your goaltending is playing, the way your goalie is,
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: the way Ben Herebk's playing. You know, it doesn't matter
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: the way Ben Herebik is playing. It does not matter
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: how many shots against. He's gonna stop everything he sees.
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: Even if he doesn't see it, he's gonna stop it.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: You get up moving, he's gonna make it. Save. You
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: see the shorthanded chance that the Bulldogs had in Game seven,
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: he makes a big pad save on a breakaway on
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: jet Lichenko, makes a big backdoor save. Every single thing
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: that he's done, I mean, you can see it coming.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're the Barry Colts, you want to
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: play right away, and that's the way it has to be.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: If you're the Barry Colts, you want to go right
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: back to it. Obviously, Cole Bodwin going down, I doubt
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: he's available for the series with the issue he has.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: I may have matched it with the oblique. That's a
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: tough one. Obviously, they're banged up. Both teams are banged
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: up at this time of the year. I mean, I'm
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: sure Kitchener has their bumps that's where those that time
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: off does help the Kitchener Rangers. But I truly believe
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: that in Game one, in Game one, the Verry Colts
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: the way they've been playing, they just come out of
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: a big, big series. The one thing is do they
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: have a little hangover from Monday night? Do they have
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: a little Game seven hangover where they have a slow
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: start and you have to get back to that adjustin
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: that feeling out period that sometimes teams have in these situations,
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: because that has been a thing that has been a
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: thing where you got to no team, especially out of conference.
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: I mean that could possibly be Game one where it's
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: a feel it out and then at the further we
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: go in a series, the more it comes on.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: But you never know.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: But I'm gonna say right now in Game one, it
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: favors Barry Colts for sure, with Ben Herebic the way
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: he's played in net.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: So what's your prediction for this one? Morty? Before we
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: wrap it up here?
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: So not being after being disrespected, I said Rangers in three.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: Obviously that can't happen. I'm gonna say Rangers and sex.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going to Rangers in five. The way that Barry's
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: gonna get a game or two. They will. Yeah, I mean,
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: I'm yeah, we're gonna leave it at that. I was
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: about to say something, but yeah, it wasn't gonna be nice.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna shut my mouth. That does it for our
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: second ever live show here on the Ohl and sixty Podcast.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Appreciate everybody tuning in. You know again, it's unfortunate to
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: see our faces. But hey, we we we move on,
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: We press on. It's all right, we'll work harder next time.
• 57:36
