• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: And hopefully we can get more people listening.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: So please send this to a hockey friend in need.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: We all know at least one friend out there would like to find a new hockey show and learn even more about the game, be entertained, turn their brain off, listen to a guy who loves hockey, talk about hockey, and feel like one of the guys.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: So send this to a hockey friend in need.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, let's move straight into our fresh out the oven segment.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: The Pittsburgh Penguins fell to the Philadelphia Flyers in game six.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: A boring ass game, a snooze fest.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: It ended 1-0 in overtime, and the goal, the game winner by Cam York, it was nothing to write home about.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: What is surprising though, obviously, is that the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Penguins.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: Not many people were picking them, including myself.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: They're a young team, they're an upstart team.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: And they defeated the old guard, basically.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: The Pittsburgh Penguins have an older team.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: They've got storied players, Hall of Future Hall of Famers, and they uh they defeated them.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: So hats off to the Philadelphia Flyers for um pulling off the upset and shocking everyone's bracket.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: All right, moving on into another series that was a great series.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: The Wild finally got the giant wild monkey off their back and won a first-round playoff series for the first time in 11 years.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: They defeated the Dallas Stars in game six, and I actually picked this series completely correct.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: I said wild and six.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: There was mixed um debate online about if the wild will win or if the stars will win.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: I said in one of my other episodes that the wild just feel like they have special juju.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: They got Quinn Hughes, who's buzzing around the ice, making plays, being a difference maker, being an X Factor, and what do you know?
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: The guy was just that in game six.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: He had two goals, the game winner being a goal that he purposely, keyword, purposely banked off a Dallas Stars defenseman's foot so that it would angle into the net because the goalie for um Dallas was playing the shot well, he was um covering a large part of the net.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: So what does Quinn Hughes do?
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: He's got the hockey IQ of Albert Einstein, basically, and he purposely aims for the Dallas players' foot.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: It banks right into the open net behind Ottinger, and that was enough for the wild to get past Dallas and send them packing back to Texas.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: Crying in their boots.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: We also gotta give stick taps to the Buffalo Sabres, who finally won a playoff series for the first time since 2008, I believe.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um they beat the Boston Bruins in game six in Boston, and they're obviously excited.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: The city is fired up, they're going nuts, and what was even more surprising than Buffalo winning, because they were the favorites, the most surprising part about that series was that the Boston Bruins lost all three games at home in Boston.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: So I would have never believed that stat if you told me about it in fifty years that they lost three home games to one of their division rivals at home in the playoffs.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, it happened, and Buffalo is marching on to the second round, where they will host the Montreal Canadiens.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'll get into all that more in the doggy bag predictions segment.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: We have a few more fresh out the oven topics, including on Thursday night the Colorado Avalanche Twitter account posted a picture and basically had the caption of force of nature versus adjective.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: So basically they are throwing some shade and talking some trash online saying that the Avalanche are just gonna roll over the wild with all those animals scattering in the graphic.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: If you've seen the graphic, you know what I'm talking about.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: If you have not seen the graphic, head over to the Avalanche Twitter account or the Avalanche Instagram.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um I'm sure it's on there as well.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: Basically, um I thought it was kind of stupid, um, honestly.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I replied back, I said cold noun versus party adjective.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: So, I mean, we've all been to a few wild parties, right?
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: And uh that's a good thing.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: So if we want to be bringing out the Mad Libs Colorado Avalanche Twitter team, then you're gonna get it right back at you.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: And speaking of that series, that game won last night at time of recording was an absolute barn burner if I've ever seen one.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: The Avalanche take the victory nine to six.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I never would have dreamed that there would be fifteen goals in the game.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: No one seemed to want to play defense.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: It was up and down, back and forth, left and right, shots just ripping in.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm jealous of anyone that was at the game last night in Colorado.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: It must have been a heck of an environment.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Really fun to be of.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: Even if you were a wild fan in the building, I think you walk out of there saying, damn it, we lost game one, but holy shit, that was an entertaining game.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: They got every penny's worth of their money last night.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, and last topic of this segment is interesting things that people are now drinking beer out of at these NHL games.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: So, as I've talked previously, the Buffalo Sabres fans have been drinking beer out of a saber sword, and we all have seen the awful, god awful chug that Ryan Whitney tried to do the other night in Buffalo, and it was just a sad, sad sight.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: Did not fire up the team or the crowd, and they ended up losing that game five.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, they're drinking out of sabres, and then Carolina came out with a skate, basically, a beer that you can drink out of.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: Not that creative, um, but they I don't know, they don't have too many options, you know, as a hurricane, to create something that would go along with a device that you can drink out of.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: So they kept it simple and they created a skate.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: So that got me thinking and trying to be creative once again to dream up what the other teams could use as a beer drinking device.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: So here we go.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: For the Vegas Golden Knights, they could have a cylindrical stack of poker chips, once again, that could hold beer and people could drink out of.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: Or you know what else is cylindrical?
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: A stripper pole.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, it works.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's Vegas, baby.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: Those ideas are good for t rally towels or beer drinking devices, in my opinion.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, moving into the Anaheim ducks, I feel like they could have a cylindrical duck call filled with beer.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Drink out of that.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Or maybe just a duck leg and then the web duck foot at the bottom.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: That would be cool to drink out of.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: The wild could have a meandering river looking like creation, just like the mouth of the bear in their logo, and if you've seen their logo, you know what I'm talking about.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: If you haven't seen their logo, go check it out.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: If you look closely, it is the head of a bear, and the mouth is a meandering river.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: So they could be drinking out of a river.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: The avalanche can drink out of a snowy mountain type cylinder, or they could drink out of something that looks like a ski pole, or they can drink out of one of those um barrel things that the Saint Bernard dogs wear under their neck.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um I did a little research just now and I found out that it's called a cask, and the rumor has it that basically those casks would be filled with brandy, and when the St.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: Bernards would find people that were either trapped in the snow or trapped in an avalanche, they could drink the brandy to warm themselves up.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: But that was just a myth or a legend, it was never actually done, but the image of a Saint Bernard with a cask under its collar stuck, and that's why those two things are forever linked together.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: So the Avalanche have a couple options a mountain, a ski pole, or a Saint Bernard cask.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: The Montreal Canadians are just people, um, so it really could be anything.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: I thought maybe they could drink out of the trunk of a maple tree, because they are not going to do maple leaves, but maybe they could just do maple tree, maybe they could just do a basic ass hockey stick because hockey is the sport of Canada.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not super creative, and I don't want to use AI to come up with some uh choices here, so if these choices are boring or stupid in your opinion, that is why I'm just using my own brain power.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, and the other team that I have not mentioned yet are the Philadelphia Flyers.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: And well, they can just go rename themselves because their name does not represent any creature or thing or being.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's more of an idea.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's about speed and agility.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: So get a new name.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of dumb.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: Philadelphia Flyers, let's let's revamp, let's rename.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um unless you win the Stanley Cup this year.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: If you win the Stanley Cup Philadelphia Flyers, keep your name.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't win it, rebrand, come up with something a little bit better so that we can all have cooler jerseys to look at and different memorabilia to buy.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: It'll be a win-win for everyone.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: You'll make money, and the team will have a better name.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, it's time to move into our top three goals of the week, our top three buttery biscuits.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: In the number three spot we have Vladimir Tarasenko of the Minnesota Wild, who scored last night at time of recording against the Avalanche in game one.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: And the reason that this goal makes the list is because he pulled off the Peter Forsberg move in Peter Forsberg's former house.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: The disrespect of this man.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: Basically, the Peter Forsberg move, if you've never seen it, you gotta go to YouTube and look it up.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: Just type in Peter Forsberg goal.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: The man was out here making goalies look silly for years and years.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um if you don't want to look it up, I'll try my best to explain it.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: But basically, a Peter Forsberg goal is when you're one-on-one with the goalie and you deke the goalie out, and your body goes one way, but you move your stick back to the other side of your body, kind of with your arms across your body, and you just tap the puck in, slide it along the ice.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: The goalie's with you on the other side of the net, but you've stuck your stick across your body to have an easy slide in goal, and that's just what Vladimir Teresenko did last night, and it was a thing of beauty.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: So as a visiting player in Peter Forsberg's former arena to pull off that move was something special and something that I wanted to note.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: In the number two spot, we have Jack Drury of the Colorado Avalanche, who scored a delicious top cheddar biscuit on Jesper Valstead of the Minnesota Wild last night at time of recording.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: Logan O'Connor, his line mate, goes hard in on the four check.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: He checks the defenseman for the wild who coughs up the puck.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: He quickly gets it to Jack Drury, who wastes no time at all, and rips the puck high over Valstead's right shoulder from a sharp angle, and it was an amazing goal to watch.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: You love seeing a top cheddar biscuit, so congrats to Jack Drury for that one.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: Now our number one goal of the week goes to Chris Kreider of the Anaheim Ducks.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: Back in game six the other night against the Edmonton Oilers, Chris Krider, the birthday boy at the time, really sent the party at the Honda Center to another level by making it 2-0 on a beautiful pass from Leo Carlson, and Krider just basically does a slap shot right over Connor Ingram's glove.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: It was a top corner, top cheddar biscuit.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: He was fired up because it doesn't get much better than a birthday playoff goal, and the ducks were up 2-0, and they were off and flying together as they went on to win that game 5-2 to eliminate the Edmonton Oilers and send Connor McDavid and company to a shocking first round exit.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, we're moving into our final segment here, the doggy bag prediction.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_00: Something you can leave with, something you can take with you, something you can send to a hockey friend in need, like I said.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_00: Send it to your family, your friends, your colleagues, your co-workers, your neighbor, anyone that you want to be able to talk hockey with, I would be happy to have their ears and hear from them via DM or email.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, so a recap of my first round predictions.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: I said that Tampa would win in seven games when really it was Montreal who won in seven games.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: I predicted that the Sabres would win in seven games versus the Bruins, and really they won it in six games.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: I predicted that the Carolina Hurricanes would win in five games when in actuality they swept the Ottawa Senators.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: I predicted that the Penguins would win in six games, when really the Flyers won in six games.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: Heading out west, I said the Edmonton Oilers would beat the Anaheim Ducks in six games, when really it was Anaheim that won in six games.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_00: I predicted Vegas in seven over the Mammoth, when really Vegas won in six games.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: I predicted the Wild to win in six games over the Stars, and I was exactly correct on that one.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I picked the Avalanche to win in five games when really they swept the Los Angeles Kings.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're keeping track at home, I was five and three in my first round predictions.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: I would love to hear from you guys if you um had a better record than that, had a worse record than that, tied me uh what your most shocking win was or shocking loss was.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: I would love to hear from you, so feel free to reach out on socials or via email.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: Also, last episode I predicted that the Anaheim Ducks would score twenty-nine total goals in the first round.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: They ended up scoring twenty-six, so I was close there, and I predicted that the Utah Mammoth would shut out the Vegas Golden Knights at home in game six.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_00: That didn't work out very well.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: Vegas ended up scoring five goals in game six to close out that series, so I was dead wrong there, deader than a fucking mammoth, um, who's frozen in the frozen tundra of Russia.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, the team that actually did have the next shutout was the Tampa Bay Lightning because Andre Vasilevsky was doing the electric slide upside down and backwards on his head in game six against the Canadians for a shutout.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, moving into my second round predictions.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: I know the second round has already started for two series, so my apologies there, but I'm still gonna stick with what I said originally to a couple of my hockey buddies.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna waver from what I already predicted, despite knowing the results of a few game ones.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, we will march onward.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: Um, in the Buffalo vs.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: Montreal Canadiens series, I need to start off real quick by giving a hats off to Philip Deneau of the Montreal Canadiens.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: The other night in game six against the Lightning, he literally saved a goal, and it was a huge moment in the game because it was still tied 0-0, and the puck was shot past the goalie.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: His stick was miraculously right on the goal line.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: He catches the puck and then fires it down the ice to save the Canadians bacon, no pun intended, um, before they ultimately did lose in overtime, but at least they did they didn't let up a goal there.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: So hats off to Philip Deneau.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then also this morning, at time of recording, I saw a hilarious stat that the Avalanche scored nine goals in their first game and beat the wild, and the Canadians had nine shots on net and beat the lightning in game seven.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: So two complete opposite ends of the spectrum there.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: Both teams got the win in drastically different fashions, so we have to give hats off to the Avalanche for scoring nine and the Canadians for scoring two goals on only nine shots and advancing past the lightning.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get to the predictions.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: Um I am going to take the Buffalo Sabres over the Montreal Canadiens in six games.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: I think the Sabres are hungrier.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: I think they have a little bit more depth throughout their entire lineup.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: I think their defense is better.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um I will give the edge in goal to the Canadians, so it should be a fun series, it should be nasty, it's uh pretty regional for people in that area, so I think it'll be intense.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think it'll be fun to watch, but I am gonna go with Buffalo in six games.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_00: As far as the hurricanes against the Philadelphia Flyers, I am picking the Hurricanes in five games.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: I think the hurricanes are an absolute wagon.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're rolling.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: I think they are going to use their hurricane force wins to ground the Flyers and send them out with a second round exit.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: Moving out west, I did predict that the Minnesota Wild will defeat the Colorado Avalanche in six games.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um now I know that the Wild lost game won last night, nine to six, so they would have to win four out of the next five games against the best team in the league.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_00: But you know what?
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: That was my prediction.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm sticking with it.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: I think they they still um obviously they scored six goals last night.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: They played like absolute horseshit on defense, clearly, by giving up nine.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I think they will learn from the tape and come out swinging in game two and go back to Minnesota with a split one to one, and then from there really take off.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm going with Wild in six games.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: The last series, I will take the Anaheim Ducks in six games over the Vegas Golden Knights.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: I think the Ducks are well, they are younger.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: They are a faster team.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_00: They have the edge in goal, although Lucas de Stall um basically played like garbage in the first round against the Oilers.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think he will have a bounce back series, and I will pick the Anaheim Ducks to get past Vegas in six games.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_00: And that's going to do it for this episode.
• 23:00
