Why fuck you motherfuckers, how you doing tonight?
0:03
I'm around these fucking people for another gosh
0:07
darn week! I hate to advice. I really hate you
0:10
doing that. It hurts so much. It really hurts.
0:14
That's UAD if you've never met UAD before. You
0:16
don't want to meet him. You do not want to meet
0:19
him. I promise you that. No you do not. What's
0:23
the word? Yeah, UAD is such an awful individual.
0:25
Very crazy one of the side characters of a...
0:29
the Bugpusters and the Weenie Boys as we call
0:32
ourselves, our whole entire friend group. I'd
0:36
much rather just have Brad come along. Fucking
0:39
Brad, man. I miss Brad so much. Brad and Brad's
0:43
wife. Anyways guys, welcome back to the second
0:50
week in a row, finally. I can't believe we've
0:52
done that all season, where we've done two weeks
0:53
in a row. I don't think so. It's been a while
0:57
since we did two weeks in a row. Probably like
0:58
maybe this time last season, so. Yeah. We're
1:02
back the night of the 15th of December. One night
1:07
past the Erie Otters honoring the passing of
1:12
owner Jim Walters, who passed away Friday morning.
1:15
Waters. Did I say Walters? Yeah. I meant to say
1:17
Waters, I apologize. Jim Waters, who passed away
1:20
Friday morning, just completely unexpectedly,
1:22
you know. Just an absolutely tragic and devastating
1:25
loss to not only I'm sure the Waters family,
1:28
but the entire city of Erie the entire Erie Otters
1:31
organization Just just completely unexpected.
1:34
It was gut -wrenching. Also, I remember me and
1:39
Colin were just sitting there at a playstation
1:40
shed. He goes, wait, what? And he's like, dude
1:43
the Otters owner just passed. I was like, what?
1:46
And yeah, just it was pretty awkward couple moments
1:49
of silence. I think we're both trying to process
1:51
it and just try to sit there to try to confirm
1:53
if that was true or not and Very sadly it was
1:57
and you know, like I said, it's you can't even
1:59
it's not even it's an unimaginable tragedy for
2:02
something like that to happen especially so unexpectedly
2:04
and and for somebody that meant no just I think
2:08
what Kyle said this I'm sorry was only half my
2:10
intention That meant so much not only to the
2:14
players and to the team the franchise as a whole
2:16
as the Savior but the city just like I feel like
2:21
the whole city just kind of slumped into a deep
2:25
dark depression after that announcement was made
2:28
by the team, by the local news cast people and
2:32
the vegan. I knew after I found out the news
2:35
I'm like my whole mood just changed the rest
2:38
of the name. Yeah this man he's the reason we
2:41
still have one of the main reasons we still have
2:44
or said one of the main if not the main reason
2:46
we still have hockey in Erie to this day you
2:48
know he saved us. back in 2015, he bought the
2:51
team off of, I think it was off of Sherry Bassin.
2:54
And he's the reason we still have hockey in Aerie
2:57
to this day, you know. Obviously because of that
2:59
we got to see another championship here in Aerie
3:01
in 2017. I think it was just even more sad, in
3:05
fact, they came literally two years after buying
3:09
the team like that championship. Yeah, two years
3:11
after, I mean, as I got to meet and be a part
3:15
of the organization of some amazing players that
3:17
have obviously... Gone up to the big leagues
3:19
now, you know, Alex Dobrinkid, Dylan Strom, Travis
3:22
Dermott, Max Imovich. He just missed McDavid.
3:24
He just missed McDavid. Yeah, the Radish brothers,
3:26
you know, Sorelli, Fogel, all those guys from
3:29
that 17 company team. I know Dylan Strom was
3:33
one of the first players to actually, like, react
3:36
to. And I saw a couple of NHLers, like, also
3:41
the former Otters, that reacted to it, so. Yeah,
3:44
and so far I've only seen No, I could have missed
3:47
the rest of them. I've only seen two other OHL
3:50
teams say something. Peterborough and Kitchener
3:55
are the only two that I have seen. I could have
3:57
missed the rest of them. Sue did. I know I did
3:59
see Sue also. She said something. I know they're,
4:03
you know, hockey affiliates. Oh, not affiliates.
4:07
Like, we have the... And I saw, like, Saginaw's
4:12
Twitter page, they posted the loss or whatever,
4:14
and even Saginaw fans were commenting, like,
4:16
you could tell Yeri was playing for that man
4:17
tonight, like, just because they were the better
4:20
team and just outplaying him, like, they did
4:22
everything in their power to get that win for
4:24
him last night. An 8 -2 win, let alone over the
4:27
Saginaw's team. It was a beat down for sure.
4:31
I mean, five first period goals, two, like, three
4:33
of the first eight shots went in or something
4:35
like that. First shot of the game of the game
4:38
not the first otter shot the first shot of the
4:41
game Sneaks past Sam Alfano scoring in I think
4:44
the first three or four goals every single person
4:46
pointed straight up, you know Yeah to the to
4:49
the rafters, you know, that one was for you Jim
4:51
and I think every single one was Every save Noah
4:54
made was for him and I've saved the night the
4:57
win was for him as well They gave Jim all waters
5:00
my goodness gracious. Jim waters the first star
5:03
of the game Obviously for that for a reason and
5:08
it's just a very devastating loss for it for
5:10
the city They already had already planned their
5:16
game worn jerseys they were wearing last night
5:18
their ugly sweater jerseys I don't know um like
5:21
all the donations of those years was going to
5:24
hit to the entire waters family I think it was
5:26
originally supposed to go to a different it was
5:28
a different cause but they ended up changing
5:30
and saying I know these zero going to To the
5:33
Waters family. So Pannell actually got interviewed
5:37
at the end of the first period. And this is what
5:41
he said, honestly it's unexplainable. Jim gave
5:44
so much to us as a team. Now this is the least
5:46
we could do to pay back to him. So obviously
5:50
that's what... was discussed between him and
5:53
his teammates amidst the hot start yesterday
5:55
in their first period. You guys, you know, fortunately
5:57
got to experience that for the first day up here.
5:59
Yeah, and I don't know if you saw the video that
6:01
they posted that they played in the arena. They
6:04
ended up posting the full video to Twitter and
6:06
to the social medias and just hearing that video
6:09
of everything that Jim said and then thinking
6:12
about it. Wow, like that's Probably one of the
6:14
last clips that they have of him, you know One
6:16
of the most touching things that he has said
6:19
and that's you know, I'm gonna be is one of his
6:20
biggest memories that we have of him And hearing
6:23
that being played knowing that he's no longer
6:25
with us was definitely a tough listen But is
6:28
also he just like emotional but at the same it
6:31
was a good emotion at the same time. Yeah, it
6:32
was like wow, that's Like I know with she for
6:37
currently being at the lineup doing the world
6:39
juniors like he did in it like during his interview
6:43
like around the for the world juniors he um mentioned
6:48
that like one of his last conversations was with
6:52
jim waters earlier in the week like jim waters
6:54
joke and like was like it's like we don't so
6:57
i really wish we weren't losing you like or like
7:01
not being on the team right now but like shaver
7:05
obviously laughed and he's like jim waters always
7:08
said like he's always been there for him like
7:11
he's he he knows what he's doing is for best
7:15
for him and then he said when as the when world
7:18
juniors get certainly say he's playing for him
7:21
and his mom and he says it's like this tournament
7:23
is for them and that yeah and we know that every
7:26
game from here on out for the honors this season
7:28
is going to be played for him like that's i don't
7:31
think that's even i think that's a given i don't
7:32
think that's even in question that every single
7:34
game this year is now going to be played in his
7:36
honor and for him every single win is going to
7:38
be dedicated to him. If you haven't seen that
7:43
video that they played pre -game and now have
7:45
posted to various social medias, go check it
7:48
out, take a listen to it. It's a pretty touching
7:51
video. But any who onto some of the news and
8:13
milestones around the OHL One of the big ones
8:17
that surprisingly on beginning of the week also
8:20
generals were the head coach Steve O 'Rourke
8:22
in an interim assistant head coach Brad Malone
8:27
as head coach which honestly I was kind of a
8:29
little For the fact that obviously you had your
8:33
runner -ups in the of last year's final finalists
8:40
against London a year after making the finals.
8:45
And they're literature right now sitting first
8:48
in a division right now of the East and they're
8:53
second in the Eastern Conference right now and
8:57
they've fired them. So there's something. There's
9:04
gotta be something going on behind the scenes
9:06
there. yeah obviously you don't want to make
9:08
assumptions like that but that's that's that's
9:11
eerily peculiar that's yeah that's why i was
9:13
like when i saw i was like what like one plus
9:17
one does not equal two in this scenario like
9:20
so that was honestly was kind of yeah um and
9:25
i was sticking with the australian general zone
9:27
luca morelli signed a three -year entry -level
9:29
contract with the columbus blue jackets and then
9:34

12:22
Frontenac. Awesome. Last night we took the W
12:26
out of Saganah. Saganah, again. Saganah. No,
12:30
just to talk a little bit more about last night.
12:32
Going into the third period, no one really started
12:35
the game, but Charlie Burns went in for the third.
12:37
I didn't see anything. I don't know if anything
12:39
happened to Noel towards the end. Somebody said
12:42
they thought it looked like he got slashed in
12:44
the hand towards the end of the second period.
12:47
But it could just be for rest, just because he
12:50
has played a lot of games recently. you're up
12:53
five goals i mean you know or they're just giving
12:55
charlie just giving some charlie some time because
12:57
no it wasn't even on the bench for the third
12:58
period so usually that usually that means injury
13:00
i'm guessing an injury or some sort of illness
13:02
yeah you just got sick maybe you got sick in
13:04
between intermissions um but who knows also i
13:08
think it was also comments in the third period
13:10
nicolas hall and mego went down with an injury
13:12
that one was um which even i don't even agree
13:16
with the penalty So I ended up getting a five
13:20
-minute boarding penalty for it and a game misconduct.
13:23
I don't agree with it personally I didn't even
13:25
think that it was that person of a call I didn't
13:28
think it was a call I don't think it was a penalty
13:30
whatsoever and they were looking and they were
13:32
looking at it for good five ten minutes and they
13:34
still decide it's a five -minute penalty. Yeah
13:36
it was Jimmy and Zachalek number 71 for boarding
13:40
and that. Five minutes for boarding and then
13:43
a misconduct as well. Cuz I don't necessarily
13:47
agree with I guess I initially didn't see the
13:49
play because there was a like something was happening
13:51
in the otters Offensive zone at the time like
13:56
we like we got to break away and we're about
13:57
to take a shot and they blew the whistle and
13:59
we didn't I Saw them both go down. I heard I
14:03
heard I saw them both go down I saw a hit against
14:06
the board, but I thought it was just a routine
14:08
It literally looked like just like a routine
14:09
takedown like a routine hockey takedown. All
14:11
of a sudden Hall and Nego didn't get back up
14:14
and Yeah, they looked at it and they said this
14:16
five -minute boarding penalty again, which I
14:18
didn't even agree with personally. I honestly
14:20
didn't agree with it either. Like even our friend
14:24
Anthony who sits in front of us, like we were
14:27
talking about like he even... He's like, I didn't
14:29
see what happened. I don't see anything that
14:32
should have been a call. So we brought up the...
14:34
I mean, did it matter? No, we were still up by
14:36
four goals. Maybe I think it might even have
14:38
been seven to two already by then. It was already
14:40
because they ended up scoring the... We scored
14:42
on that power play, which I think made it eight
14:44
to two. Yeah. It didn't matter regardless, but
14:49
again, I think we definitely got away with a
14:51
call there. I don't think it should have been
14:53
called. And we thought it was maybe it was originally
14:55
a slew foot. They were looking for a slew foot
14:57
or something. But looking back at it, we're like,
14:59
there's nothing that they should be calling.
15:00
And they still ended up calling the five minute
15:02
boarding penalty. No, take it away again. Our
15:06
power play still sucks. Announces something on
15:10
that because I know there probably will be potentially
15:12
something. Yeah, I guess two things around I
15:14
guess the first goal score and then the second
15:17
short the second penalty or the second penalty
15:19
kill for the shorty I was like maybe too much
15:21
death for a shorty here and then boom we scored
15:23
a shorty And the thing that you have to me and
15:26
Kyle always do the uh -oh uh -oh That also worked.
15:30
It also worked twice Kyle did the first time
15:33
uh -oh uh -oh pass score maybe one of the other
15:39
two goals that happened shortly in the first,
15:41
I did it, uh oh, uh oh, boom. When you score
15:46
eight goals, a couple of things that you say
15:48
are eventually gonna work, so. Yeah, it was a
15:52
great, just an amazing night, like a storybook
15:54
night, like I said, first shot of the game goes
15:56
in, and you immediately point to the Raptors
15:58
for Jim, and like, I can just. It's a storybook
16:02
night, man. Like, a hat -trick was scored, you
16:05
know, an amazing performance from our starting
16:08
hole tender, not Andrew O 'Kee. He wasn't very,
16:10
he wasn't O 'Kee that night. Which, one thing
16:13
I saw was kind of a crazy fact going into that
16:15
game. Obviously, it's now at least three or four
16:18
at this point. Sabbath gave them more than six
16:22
goals in the last, like, three or four games.
16:25
Each of their last four games, yeah. They're
16:27
not in a very good patch right now. both their
16:30
goals where they need their lord and savior uh
16:32
no one will want to be the backup again i said
16:34
honestly i like well he'll definitely put a couple
16:38
more he finished he finished like 15 and two
16:41
in the regular season last year or something
16:42
like that like he was like on a like force like
16:45
he's where's he now he's with kinkston now then
16:47
he can't his home But Noah had a lot of really
16:57
good saves Saginaw's backup had a lot of really
16:59
nice saves there in the third period there So
17:03
very easily could have ended up being a 10 to
17:05
11 to 2 kind of game, but Like I said a storybook
17:10
night just that's exactly everything that you
17:12
wanted to happen it needed to go right went right
17:15
and happened last night, so Just an amazing a
17:18
huge win for eight for the for the otters and
17:20
is that a night an altogether? Win for the night
17:23
for for eerie and for for the water family For
17:28
now I've secured that fourth seed spot in the
17:33
West because it's huge in that game Determine
17:38
like if Stagnum won that they would have regardless
17:41
of the OT or not like they were going they would
17:46
have took it forth but so obviously the next
17:49
time the honors and sour meat will be january
17:51
10th on connor mcdavid night so i'm so excited
17:55
for that i kind of love cinema the way i kind
17:58
of made a joke they're now like can this happen
18:02
that night like like how they're playing tonight
18:06
can this happen every night no let's score nine
18:09
goals and have 97 shots on the night but Yeah,
18:16
that was Definitely was was a great game last
18:20
night. Yeah This is gonna get me thinking here
18:25
Not obviously not knowing what the whole Noah
18:29
or blind situation is Is he healthy? You know
18:33
what what what's hurting? Please please please
18:37
please Let it not turn into another goalie situation
18:41
last year it was me and kyle were walking out
18:44
of the arena last night i told kyle i'm hoping
18:47
because we don't obviously know what it is what's
18:50
happening though we said um i'm hoping it was
18:53
maybe just a one night that kind of thing like
18:57
maybe he just got sick in between periods maybe
18:59
i don't know or just resting or maybe just he
19:02
pulled something getting off the ice or something
19:04
it could have just been like a freak really he
19:05
just pulled something getting off the ice or
19:07
walking to the lot who knows I never know what
19:10
could happen though. I think there's going to
19:15
be a little bit of a scrum there toward the end
19:17
of the second maybe after the whistle blew the
19:19
end of the second maybe he got caught up in something
19:21
there that could be my only guess or something
19:24
happened on his way over the gut chipped on his
19:26
way over to the bench I don't know I said I wasn't
19:28
paying much attention there so yeah just hope
19:31
it's okay hope it doesn't turn into a goalie
19:33
situation like last year So we've already called
19:36
up and sent back down a lot of players so far
19:38
this year. Speaking of goalies and speaking of
19:41
Benny Goudreau, how about him getting his first
19:44
official AHL win in his first AHL game? His first
19:49
game, his first win for the Rockford IceHogs.
19:52
Who did it beat? Was it Bakersfield? I can look
19:56
back on that. Former Erie Otter, Otter's legend,
20:00
Benny Goudreau, Goudreau, however you want to
20:02
say it. First win. Love to see it for him. So
20:06
awesome. Can't wait to see him hopefully. Milwaukee.
20:10
Milwaukee. The admirals, right? Yeah. Yeah. Which
20:13
that's Nashville's. Nashville's. Nashville's
20:16
affiliate. And then obviously Rockford is Chicago's.
20:20
So you possibly can see him playing for the Blackhawks
20:22
here. Next upcoming years here. Have him be playing
20:26
alongside Connor Bedard. That'd be pretty cool
20:28
to see. That would be awesome. Would be awesome.
20:31
Yeah man, that's. Let's go for Benny. Hell yeah.
20:33
Let's go, Otters. Hell yeah. One thing I kind
20:35
of, might as well, because I did see it in the
20:38
AHL, um, just last, kind of late last night,
20:45
um, the, um, Belleville Senators, they, um, did
20:49
a, like, like, Dean night to throw back to the
20:53
Belleville Bulls there in their OHL days. Oh,
20:55
did they? Like, they literally went, went back
20:58
to their OHL, um, had their theme jersey and
21:02
everything as the Belleville Bulls. They like
21:05
to honor them. They brought the J. Ross Robertson
21:08
Cup to celebrate the 98 -99 season championship
21:13
team. So they had a bunch of like the former
21:17
owner, the Belleville Bulls. And that's pretty
21:19
cool. And more players from that team celebrate
21:22
the name. They revealed a Belleville Bulls banner
21:26
for their time in the OHL. that's pretty cool
21:30
there's that and there's been actually because
21:32
with the potential oho expanding here like with
21:36
their it's just two teams by next season or um
21:40
there's just within the last week and a half
21:43
there's been rumblings that um belville might
21:47
could potentially come back as into the o again
21:50
and that i saw what youngstown is one of the
21:52
teams youngstown muskegon because they they had
21:56
just literally um The commissioner of the OHL,
21:59
he went to visit both facilities like just this
22:04
past week, last week, and kind of was potentially,
22:09
because I know both the USHL and the OHL kind
22:15
of have to have a rough estimate like what's
22:20
the plan for next season, if they are going to
22:24
be in by next year or not. could potentially
22:28
see that here. That's interesting. I know they're
22:30
saying like if that does happen there's most
22:31
likely going to be some sort of expansion draft.
22:34
Because I know there's been a lot of rumblings
22:37
because ever since the NCAA kind of that vote
22:43
was official that players who are already committed
22:47
to teams in the NCAA are playing for OHL, CHL
22:51
teams. Or vice -versa players that are already
22:57
committing to colleges already in the NCAA, so.
23:03
Yeah. Clint, you better say something. You were
23:05
waiting to say something. I'm just doing a little
23:08
research here. It can wait till we're off the
23:15
air. Right. Well, we're still on the air. Let's
23:19
pull up good old Puck Doku and get that rolling
23:23
here. Going across, for the Columns, we have
23:30
St. Louis, Tampa, and Winnipeg. And for the Rose,
23:34
we have Toronto, LA, and 100 % assist in a career.
23:42
Off the bat, we can do Ryan Reeves for Toronto
23:47
and St. Louis. Looks I don't think he'd fit anywhere
23:52
else except All right, all right Toronto Tampa,
24:01
so I'm trying to think I'm like Not domain ever
24:08
played for Tampa Well, I'm LA st. Louis Wayne
24:15
Gretzky, yeah, yep For the whole, I think, 20
24:20
games he played for the Blues. 20 games, so 20
24:23
games. For the Blues, 100 assists can be anybody
24:27
that's played there a while. Ryan O 'Reilly.
24:29
Tarasenko. Tarasenko. Brett Hall. Alright, Tampa
24:38
100 assists. Again, it can be Cooch, Stamkos,
24:41
Braden Point. Marcus St. Louis. Marcus St. Louis.
24:45
Lacavier. Lacavier. This can be Blake Wheeler,
24:53
Mark Shieffley. Anybody there? Alright, so we
24:59
just need Toronto, Tampa, Toronto, Winnipeg,
25:02
and then LA, Tampa, LA, Winnipeg. LA, Winnipeg,
25:08
Ilya Kovalchuk, I believe, right? Because this
25:11
counts the Atlanta... He played for LA, I'm pretty
25:15
sure, didn't he? I'm quite positive. I'm pretty
25:22
confident in that. That was a table, I swear.
25:29
Sure. I think I'm just overthinking this. Coble
25:36
Chuck played for Atlanta, which that would still
25:38
technically be the Winnipeg franchise. Yeah,
25:40
but he did play for L .A. I'm pretty sure he
25:43
did. I think L .A. was the first time he played
25:45
for when he came back. He came back and I think
25:50
he played for L .A. and then I think he went
25:52
to Washington. Both were very brief, brief stances,
25:58
but... Oh, um, L .A. and... I don't know if it'd
26:07
work because... Just spit it out. Um, Eric Cernak,
26:11
because he was initially drafted by L .A. Did
26:14
he play any games? That's what I'm trying to
26:15
remember. I can't remember if he did or not.
26:18
If he... After he got drafted he came back to
26:21
Erie and then I don't know if he When he went
26:24
back up he got just played for Tampa. It's all
26:27
my only question That's well hold on to that
26:31
one. Well hold on I was that someone when I Tampa,
26:34
Toronto this one should be so much easier, but
26:36
I can't think of anything Brian Elliott, I don't
26:42
think he ever played for the Leafs. What about
26:44
what potato radish? Because and I'll get a little
26:49
state in Tampa mostly in Chicago. Did he do up
26:53
in Toronto? Because I know Darren has spent his
26:56
whole time in Oh No, where's Darren drafted Darren
27:03
was drafted by I think Tampa Okay, because he's
27:09
been for a while. He goes with the Syracuse cross
27:11
Okay, so he was sort of drafted by Tampa, okay
27:16
Vandercain never played for LA or Toronto. Where's
27:23
Nick Paul been before Tampa? Ottawa, Tampa. I
27:32
don't know if it's Toronto or LA. Damn. Andre
27:39
Johansson, the back of goalie for Tampa. Where
27:44
has you been before Tampa? I think he's only
27:47
been on Tampa. But I'm pretty confident in the
27:52
LA, Atlanta, or the LA Winnipeg with the LA Colton
27:54
Chuck. I'm pretty confident. Nice. Yeah, look
28:06
he has a Washington Jersey on this picture. Since
28:10
we're blanking A, would you want to try to throw
28:12
a tourniquet there? For the LA Tampa Cuz I know
28:17
he was I just don't know if he just played for
28:20
a game It says 2018 so possibly not then so like
28:26
if he played for LA it would have been like 16
28:29
17. Yeah, cuz he was drafted the same year as
28:33
Oh, um Ryan McDonough did he ever play for LA?
28:39
No, he's been one stint with The Rangers, two
28:43
stints with Tampa, and one stint with Nashville.
28:46
Nashville, okay. Damn, ah. Toronto -Tampa should
28:53
be so easy. Why can't I think of one? Toronto
29:00
-Winnipeg should also, I think, be pretty easy.
29:04
Bufflin never played much. I think he only really
29:07
played Atlanta -Winnipeg. And Chicago. Why are
29:19
we blanking so hard on this one? Andrew Ladd.
29:22
I'm thinking of guys that are like early in the
29:25
Winnipeg relocation. Like Brian Little, Andrew
29:31
Ladd. Did Brad boys ever play for... I know Toronto,
29:36
St. Louis. Boston, I think you had a little bit
29:39
of time with. Yeah, never would pay up north
29:44
too much. Wow, yeah, this one's tough. And we
30:02
got nothing else. Just put Eric Chernek in there
30:04
anyway. I mean, in LA, but. throw it in there
30:08
we were already put blank in anyway no he did
30:13
not play okay i knew he was dropped i just didn't
30:16
know if he ever played wish we had hints on this
30:18
one like we do on the pyramid I'm trying to think
30:35
like some of like the old players that have played
30:38
for Toronto over the past couple years like Marlowe
30:42
Giordano Marlowe never played at Tampa, right?
30:47
No Joe Thornton No Boston only Boston Toronto
30:58
and San Jose the Sharks Florida too I'm blanking.
31:09
Well, that's more like Mark Recky. I know he
31:11
played for a frick ton of teams. Frick ton of
31:14
teams, huh? Frick ton. Nice frick mouth you got
31:17
on there, son. Frick, frick, frick. I got nothing.
31:24
Yeah, I'm out. I'm done. Yeah, I'm blanking.
31:27
All right, well. Let's, uh... Let's do the stats
31:37
here. Nick Antropov. I was right on the fuckin'
31:42
early, like early in the... Zach Pekodosian,
31:45
Kobe Armstrong, Oyo Kanan. David Riddick. Big
31:48
save Dave Riddick. Ron Jordan. Eben. Ponikarovski.
31:53
Riley Nash. Eric Fair. Toronto Tampa. David Andruchuk.
32:00
Luke Shen. Darcy Tucker. Brian Boyle. Gary Roberts.
32:07
Riley Nash again, Greg McCaig and Vinnie LeCavlier
32:14
We fucking said him earlier when we were talking
32:18
about Tampa. I know Tanner, did you know that's
32:21
a recent one? We should've been. Ben Bishop.
32:25
Brian Bottle again. Fox. Wow. Alright. Darn.
32:31
Hurtle? Hurtle into the pyramid and then Hurtle.
32:34
Let's do the pyramid. So anybody that's ever
32:41
played for Buffalo, let's go Brad May. The first
32:47
one that popped in my head. Honor of Regeneron
32:49
that we just played, that I heard about last
32:51
week. So who has played 500 games and that has
32:54
played for Buffalo? Eichel? Yeah, Jack Eichel.
33:00
Has he played 500 yet? With all the injuries
33:02
he's faced? He's been in the, for almost a decade
33:06
now. Has he? Fair enough, yeah. He had 2015.
33:10
Yeah, okay. 500 games, 250 assists, has played
33:14
for Buffalo. Erasmus Dalling, has he gotten,
33:17
or no, he's not in 500 yet. Probably not. I'm
33:20
thinking like somebody like Eric Stahl. Has he
33:22
had 250 assists in his career? Eric Stahl, with
33:25
his - Or like, maybe Taylor Hall. Taylor Hall
33:27
definitely has. Small. Let's choose the right
33:33
one this time. The top, wait, 83 to 88? And they
33:37
have to play for the Islers, correct? Yeah. Islanders
33:41
and Sabres Robert Leonard Yeah, there's no way
33:49
he's gotten 250 says He played for Islanders
34:10
Panthers, Islanders, the Dinosaur. Al Boboso.
34:15
Yep. Paid for Bob, Buffalo, Islanders, Florida.
34:18
No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
34:20
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That top one, we
34:22
can use him for the top one for Stanley Cup Winter,
34:24
then. Okay, well, then, we also have Sam Reinhardt.
34:29
Did he play for the Islanders? No, he did not.
34:31
Fuck me in the ass. So let's use a lifeline for
34:34
this one to get this Panthers one. Wait, whoa,
34:39
there's three now player card get stashed for
34:42
a current player. You know fuck that We'll do
34:45
film a blank Thomas Vannock. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
34:50
we can use cow a puzzle for the top one, right?
34:56
Yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah That was pretty simple.
35:08
That was pretty easy. And we missed Ryan Miller
35:13
again. This one doesn't piss me off as much,
35:18
but I mean... We were in the mind of skaters
35:22
for this one, so... We already had goaltenders
35:25
on our mind last week and still missed it. Let's
35:28
do the hurdle now then. If you guys haven't heard
35:30
of hurdle, it shows you a silhouette of a player's
35:34
headshot and you have to guess who the player
35:36
is. That almost looks like it could be like Jeff
35:40
Skinner or something. Hold on. I think it's curtain
35:44
only. Oh. Yeah, it's curtain only. No. So we
35:51
got the position right. So Jeff, how this works
35:52
is everything's white, so none of the things
35:54
in white is correct. But we know he's a center.
35:57
That's all we know. Green means you're correct.
35:59
Which means he's not even in the west. He's an
36:01
eastern conference player. And then yellow means
36:04
you're close. So like... If age, so since Jeff
36:07
Skinner is 32, if it was yellow, but it's still
36:10
pointed down, you're gonna be aiming for like,
36:11
I think 31. 20, 27, 28. I think it goes within
36:16
two years. It'd be 30 to 34. So I think he'd
36:19
be below the age of 30. Well, the arrow helps,
36:21
so it'd be 30 or 31. But obviously, it's gonna
36:25
be well below 32. So it's like 29, 28. Something
36:28
below 29. So everything that's green means it's...
36:30
It's correct. So he's also his... Same for the
36:33
jersey number, which means his jersey number...
36:35
It's probably below 50. Okay. 50 or lower, for
36:39
the number at 30 or lower. So we'll choose a
36:40
random center in the east. And he's not Canadian.
36:43
He's not Canadian. Okay, that's actually what
36:45
I was going to ask, is this set, because it shows
36:47
nothing for... Yeah, that one will be yellow.
36:49
That'll just be green or nothing. Okay. Let's
36:51
choose an American center in the east. Let's
36:55
go... Jack Hughes? No, he'd be 86. So that wouldn't
36:58
work. Um... Uh, Panarin is... Oh, no, he's older
37:04
than that one. Is he? I thought he might be like
37:09
30. Well, with the silhouette that won't work.
37:16
Yeah. What about like Lafrenier? I don't know
37:20
what his position is though. He's the center.
37:23
He's the center? Let's go with him. I see Lafrenier.
37:28
Second one, second one. Okay, so he's in the
37:31
east. He's 23. He's young. That's good jersey
37:34
numbers somewhere between the 16 to 50 range.
37:37
He's a he was Canadian though. So All right his
37:41
center that hasn't is a left wing so he's in
37:44
the Atlantic division Okay, so looking through
37:48
the teams. Let's go through the teams Boston
37:51
Florida. Oh Boston who are the centers? Zach
37:56
Zach has not American and he's over Charlie coil
38:01
and he's old Yeah. He's older, yeah. Dayton Heinen's
38:06
still over in Boston. I thought he was in Vancouver.
38:10
Oh, he is now, that's right, yeah. Okay. I can't
38:14
remember the other two players. Pull the silhouette
38:19
back up again. Buffalo. H. Thompson's young,
38:26
but he's not 23 young. Yeah. Could be like Owen,
38:31
no, because he's a center. Yeah, I see he's a
38:35
defenseman. Could be like a J .J. Paterka. I
38:39
don't know what his position is though. He's
38:41
all... No, he's a four. He's a four, but I don't
38:47
know if he's a center or not. Let's just do it
38:48
just so we can maybe get a better estimate on
38:52
the nationality. I don't know what his nationality
38:54
is. He's Dutch, okay, so... okay so we also yeah
38:59
we know it's in the Atlantic give another still
39:02
not really much help on his jersey number oh
39:05
my god daniel boston detroit could that be like
39:13
that could be like adb what's his number over
39:15
there 93 93 okay obviously can't be patrick kane
39:21
because i think he's still 88 over there yeah
39:23
yeah could be somebody like teresenko what's
39:26
his number over there oh he's russian Okay, well
39:29
that doesn't be so know if he's American enough
39:31
so he could still be Russian. Oh, that's right
39:34
They're saying cut that was 91. Is he 91 over
39:37
there? He'd be Cain and Teresanko are all He's
39:48
also pirate around that age too, I'm thinking
39:52
well between now Raymond and who's the center
39:55
on the Kuturov Brayden Point. I don't think that's
40:01
Brayden Point. So what were you thinking Louis
40:05
Raymond? He's Swedish. Oh that's right. I was
40:15
right on he was that young still. Oh yeah I do
40:18
remember. No because Brayden Point is 20 so we
40:21
know he's not. It can't be Brayden Point. I think
40:23
his number is 20 isn't it? Brayden Point? Yeah.
40:27
Also, it could be it could be point because it's
40:29
between 13 and 23 so it could be braiding point
40:35
No, okay, so it is number like 19 or 20 could
40:44
be oh can be like Riley Smith So he could still
40:53
be American he could still be Russian I think
40:58
of low numbers. So we need to think. Boston.
41:06
Boston, Toronto, Ottawa. Montreal. Could it be
41:10
like a Tim Stutzla? He's German. His number...
41:16
I think he's like 19. I believe he's a center
41:21
and he's still young too. Goes Tim Stutzla? Nah,
41:24
he's older, okay. Who are you thinking? I was
41:26
initially thinking Matthew. Matthew. Oh my god.
41:30
He's 18. So his number has to be 19 or 20. 19
41:34
or 20. 23 year old. That's not German, Canadian,
41:39
Swedish. No, Dutch. Or Dutch, sorry. That's Dutch,
41:43
Swedish, or Canadian. So it could be American,
41:45
Russian, German, Finnish. That part is, I know
41:50
it's not good. We're thinking Toronto. Toronto,
41:57
Montreal, Florida, what about Cole Caulfield?
42:01
No, because it would be his number by 22. No,
42:03
his number is 13 now, that's right. He did change
42:06
it to just this year. Suzuki? No, his hair is
42:11
not like that. What's his number though? Are
42:16
these numbers like 18 or 14 or something like
42:18
that? Damn. I say it's not... Kachak either.
42:23
I feel like we just gotta start naming players
42:25
just to try to get the team. We only have two
42:26
guesses left though. Damn. This is a lot harder
42:35
than I remember it being. I remember I used to
42:36
do these ones everyday like I did Pukdoku. We
42:48
gotta throw a player there at least to try to
42:49
get the team. Just throw a leaf out there, go
42:58
like Marner. What about Nick Robertson? I think
43:05
he's 20. I don't know his position, or if he's
43:10
even still with Toronto. I think it's technically
43:14
Nicholas Robertson, but yeah. Oh my god, he's
43:19
American, he's American. All right, so. One guess
43:24
in American 20th an American 23 year old center
43:28
on either Boston Montreal or Florida Kachuck
43:36
is too old my dad. Yeah, it's this wise. I know
43:39
it is he Chuck is still young. He's not 23. He's
43:44
not 20. He's like 24 because the number His number
43:51
would fit but just his... Sam Reinhardt is also
43:56
not that young. Pulled up one more time. I'm
44:04
just trying to picture that fucking hair. Like
44:06
who had that little piece of hair sticking up
44:08
in the back air? Oh my goodness. An American
44:16
-born center. 23 years old. Where's the number
44:23
19 or 20? No, it's not Brady either Yeah, so
44:31
Boston, Florida He waits for dead silent My god.
44:56
Damn. Pull back up again. Oh my gosh. Sorry.
45:05
I got nothing in. Oh my god. Mick Cousins? What's
45:09
his number? Is he even still in Florida? I don't
45:14
know where he is. I got nothing. Yeah, neither
45:22
do I. I want to say it's Florida. Just put Kachuk.
45:28
I mean I don't think he's that young. I mean
45:31
he's even a center. No. He's a left winger. He's
45:34
a winger. John Beecher. I never would have gotten
45:39
that. Nope. Never in a million years would I
45:41
have gotten that. Yeah, same here. Never in a
45:44
million years. All right. Try and add something
45:49
new this week. Just to kind of... Doing a test
45:52
run just to kind of see how we like them on what
45:56
this is it It deals with the drafts on it's either
46:00
higher So there are two players either say higher
46:04
lower the same So I see For example for like
46:10
their draft pick. Yeah, so it doesn't have to
46:12
be the exact same year. It's just as long as
46:15
they're it can be either in the same class if
46:18
they're higher or lower or whatever or different
46:21
class from each so like we can say you know 15
46:24
or 2 2014 what it was that Connor McDavid drafted
46:28
higher or lower than yeah yeah and that's actually
46:34
so for example like what constant of this one
46:37
would do economy David was awesome awesome Matthews
46:41
higher or lower than Connor McDavid same yeah
46:45
it'd be neutral cuz obviously Matthews was drafted
46:48
in 2016 for Picked first overall by Toronto and
46:52
then economy David was picked first overall as
46:55
well by Edmonton Second one was Higher lower
47:01
neutral at getting Malkin or was he drafted higher
47:05
or lower than Patrick Hornquist? It's higher
47:09
way higher. Yeah, yeah Since so for that if I'm
47:12
not mistaken, but Patrick Harkness is mr. Irrelevant
47:15
like to 215 or something like that Again Malkin
47:20
2004 picked by Pittsburgh second overall in the
47:25
first round in in Patrick Larnquist was drafted
47:28
in 2005 In the seventh round Yeah, like 36 overall.
47:35
I swear I will What I wrote I had it but yeah,
47:41
and then um, and then this one Ryan Miller Jonathan
47:44
quick was Ryan Was Ryan milk I'm trying to reword
47:51
it how I was right no draft higher or lower than
47:54
yeah Yeah, right higher or lower than ooh I Think
48:05
that one was fun because I figured the chips
48:06
one of the two best I'm actually gonna go lower
48:08
with this one. I do think I do remember I thought
48:11
Miller ended up being a lot lower than or he
48:14
should have no lower. Sorry You guys are actually
48:18
correct. He was lower on he obviously drafts
48:21
in the 99 draft by Buffalo 138 overall in the
48:25
fifth round 12 overall and then Jonathan quick
48:29
was drafted to 2005 Bay LA 72nd overall in the
48:34
third round in the third Yep, these are just
48:42
examples so you might potentially see more in
48:45
the future. I like that, yeah. If we want to
48:46
bring more of those back next week, I definitely
48:47
like that. Another weekly occurrence, Colin has
48:52
some more blind rankings for us. Alright, we're
48:54
going to do at least two of them, maybe three,
48:56
time permitting. Looking at the time here at
48:59
Studio, it's starting to get pretty late. So,
49:03
players on new teams. Like that have changed
49:06
teams this year? Yeah, veterans that are on different
49:09
franchises. the first one up is steven stancoast
49:13
okay obviously made the switch from tampa to
49:16
based off of his place so far this year so far
49:19
this year or we didn't like his career well so
49:21
far this this year i'm the new team on the franchise
49:24
well that's like a four yeah he's not the whole
49:27
national as a whole is not performing well i
49:30
know they think they just had the coaching change
49:32
um if i'm not if they didn't then need to Yeah,
49:37
they are not do I still all those big sign I
49:39
think they also sign what John's and Marsha show
49:41
Marches Oh, and there's one other name that they
49:43
signed to that Stevenson. No, he went to Seattle
49:45
Yeah, he went to Seattle Yeah, Stevens damn cause
49:52
has been I still don't like one other big signing
49:55
that Nashville made this off season. I can't
49:57
remember who All right second one up the list
50:01
Tyler Brutus you oh Okay, he's with what? Chicago
50:06
went from Toronto to Chicago another one Chicago
50:09
has not been playing pretty well at all I know
50:12
Connor but Darwin's even say like he's been frustrated
50:15
Yeah, obviously again. It's a sophomore slump
50:19
in that yeah, so I mean, but I don't know how
50:22
well Bertuzzi himself is yeah I do feel like
50:30
he might end up throwing like some really really
50:33
shitty at us Some I almost want to put him at
50:36
three because like is it for Tuesday's folder
50:39
is in his team phone. Yes So I almost want to
50:43
put him at three That's kind of where I was cuz
50:45
he is still kind of younger. So he you know Not
50:49
too used to changing that much stamp goes is
50:52
a lot more veteran He should know how to deal
50:55
with the change. Well, you know, he's been with
50:57
Tampa out until this point. Yeah Third up on
51:02
this list Jake to brusk He's doing really good.
51:09
That might be our one slot right there. I'm trying
51:11
to think of some bigger names that I switched.
51:15
I want to say two for now. He's got the hint
51:20
on first again. That's why I'm not falling for
51:23
it again because obviously we did it with Ryan
51:26
Miller last week. Number four on this list. If
51:34
he didn't look down, I would have looked over
51:35
it again. I wouldn't have turned my head again.
51:38
Number four on this list. Elias Lindholm. Lindholm?
51:42
I don't even know where he's playing. Is it Boston?
51:45
Yeah, Boston. Five. I mean, I haven't heard much
51:49
of anything from him this year. I mean, he doesn't
51:53
really have a whole lot of points, and he's playing
51:56
alongside David Postonok. I remember doing my
52:00
research on him before. before you guys give
52:02
over. He's playing with Boston on the number
52:04
one line right between Pasta and the Rams. Yeah,
52:08
and he only has 14 points in 32 games so far,
52:11
so. And the last one, the number one, Jake Gensel.
52:15
Jake Gensel, yeah. Number one, I mean. Yeah.
52:17
Honestly, I could see him going down to two and
52:19
switching with Debrusk. I think one and two are
52:21
interchangeable. But he scored in their game
52:24
last time. He was on a six game goal streak right
52:27
now. Gensel, is he? Yeah. I know Debrusk is also.
52:29
I think he might be. Top two for random for Vancouver
52:32
in touring Honestly, that one was pretty good
52:38
one way I wouldn't really change. I would only
52:40
really change your cheap Nebraska Jake Denzel
52:43
Yeah, Nebraska has 14 goals in 29 games for total
52:46
23 points You know for Vancouver, that's probably
52:51
Pretty damn good. So I know Vancouver isn't the
52:55
top top team in the Pacific Division, but they
52:58
still are a formidable foe for anybody. For the
53:02
fact they also just got Thatcher Demko back from
53:05
injury and that. So that's going to be huge for
53:07
them. I mean, Dabrowski is fourth in points,
53:11
only behind the better player. Connor Garland
53:13
is up there, wow. Yeah, behind the last Pedersen
53:15
and Clint Hughes, is what I mean. Did he have
53:18
those two players playing ahead yet? You can't
53:22
talk shit on being number four if those two players
53:25
are above you in the stands. Take number four
53:29
and run with it, because you'd probably be the
53:31
number one player or the number one points -getter
53:34
on the team if you're somewhere like Buffalo
53:37
or Pittsburgh or Chicago. Take it while you can.
53:43
Next up, top goalies so far this regular season.
53:49
First up is Jacob Marks from Okay, he's what
53:54
in New Jersey now, yeah, there's that think is
53:56
like second of the division They're doing really
54:01
well I know they go up to a slower I think they've
54:04
won the first two games in Prague and then they
54:06
went on a losing streak and Dropped like I think
54:08
like five of the next six or something like that.
54:10
Yeah, but now they've been doing pretty good
54:11
I think they're setting like 20 and 12 or something
54:13
like that. They are 20 10 and 3 they're at 43
54:17
points second of the division Only to Washington.
54:21
Washington has four games in hand. And they're
54:26
four points up in Carolina. Again, Carolina has
54:29
three games in hand. So the very worst they can
54:31
do right now is drop down to third. Okay, I'll
54:35
put him at... I'm trying to think of any goals
54:39
that have been rock -solved this year. I know
54:42
there's a couple. There's better. I can aim a
54:45
handful. So we can put him right in the middle
54:46
at three, or we can put him at two. For safe,
54:51
I want to put him in three just to be safe three
54:54
All right second up in this test Darcy Kemper
55:02
Okay, he's Washington isn't LA LA. Okay. Yeah,
55:08
let me take me just off his starting role to
55:12
big big same day but then he's also been injured
55:15
a bit this season so Dave Riddick the starter
55:18
yeah he's been so fucking hot maybe they've been
55:21
back and forth and Riddick has been yeah Dave
55:25
didn't really get a good start and then when
55:27
Kemper got a good side got sidelined with an
55:29
injury and Riddick was named the official number
55:31
one that's amazing okay almost doesn't seem fair
55:36
to put Kemper at four because of that injury
55:38
but I think we almost have to I mean with he's
55:43
he just hasn't gotten enough play time to show
55:45
if this is actually gonna be a consistent thing
55:49
Or if he just had a kind of a little streak Yeah,
55:54
I say I'm gonna say for us to see him in the
55:57
next goal we on the list Kind of are an unfair
56:00
advantage. I'll share why once we get there.
56:02
I'll say for I Mean hopefully it turns around
56:08
And we're still semi early in the seasons. We're
56:11
stuck in here. We're under almost half. About
56:14
like a third of the way through the season. Next
56:17
up, Linus Almark. I know he has struggled, but
56:22
when you go from a killer Boston team with a
56:26
lot of people that can play defense in front
56:27
of you to Ottawa. Honestly, going into this,
56:34
I knew this was going to be, Almark was going
56:37
to not that he's going to have a lackluster year.
56:40
Yeah. Pretty much. Compared to last year, yeah.
56:42
I mean, yeah, but then again, Boston. Pretty
56:44
much compared to two years ago. But again, Boston
56:47
versus Boston. It was two years ago when he had
56:49
that like 40 -win season when Boston won like
56:51
fucking 65 games or whatever. And set like a
56:55
franchise record. NHL record. The best regular
56:59
season in history, and they went on to lose in
57:00
the first round. To Florida. To an 18th -paced
57:05
Florida table, who almost won the cup that year.
57:07
Believe it or not. Do we want to put him all
57:10
the way at five? I think we have to. I... Who
57:13
else could he throw on here though? What are
57:14
some other goalies that have changed teams? Oh
57:17
no, not changed teams, just... Goalies this season.
57:21
Who have performed well. Oh, just who have performed
57:23
well. Okay, that was the last one. You have players
57:24
that have changed. I think I'm still gonna put
57:28
him at five though. Yeah. I have two names in
57:30
my head that I feel like he... At least one that
57:32
I think he's gonna throw. Yeah. I do too. Imposter!
57:36
A ton more better goaltenders have done so much
57:40
better. I'm thinking of who you might be thinking.
57:45
Yeah. Goal number four, Andre Vasilevsky. OK.
57:52
He hasn't been as sharp as he has been in years
57:56
past. I know he was fighting injuries last year,
58:01
and he probably still is just kind of getting
58:03
back to himself. I know where I want to place
58:06
my last two, but obviously I know the right -
58:09
That was not one of the names I was thinking.
58:11
I have two names in my head that he might do
58:13
for the last one. I said I had two as one. Because
58:16
of the names that I have in my head, I'm going
58:17
to put him at two. I'm also going to put, say,
58:20
two as well. I'm just trying to make sure I can
58:27
type his last name right. Who do you think I
58:31
have on my list? I'm between either Oddinger
58:33
or Flurry. I'm between Hellebuck or Onager. Well,
58:37
you are both wrong. I have Mr. Dustin Wolf. Okay.
58:42
Okay. Yeah, I mean that sounds like a good list
58:44
then. He's been fucking, he's been killing it.
58:46
For as the only C is, being a rookie and he's
58:48
kind of been thrown into that starting position
58:50
almost. A Calder favorite. Oh, for sure. I did
58:52
think of Flurry, but I didn't want to put him
58:55
on this list because I wanted to throw you guys
58:57
off a little bit. Oh, I was definitely throwing
58:59
this off. Yeah. I was waiting for him to pop
59:02
up. That's why I kept putting everybody so low.
59:04
I don't want to get screamed at again. I would
59:07
have given you guys a hint if it was flurry.
59:09
I would point back out the jersey again. Yeah,
59:12
we'll give it. I think we still have time to
59:15
throw this third one in here. Alright, alright.
59:18
So the best sounds in hockey. The best sounds.
59:22
Okay. Number one, clear tape going on the stick.
59:28
Kind of thing. That's a very satisfying sound.
59:32
Yeah. You know, there's probably some players
59:34
out there that are like, oh, one baby, number
59:36
one. But I definitely already have ideas in my
59:40
head for what he might throw in here. But that's
59:43
pretty solid. But I'm thinking more like in -game
59:49
action sounds that he might throw in. That might
59:51
be a lot better. So I'm gonna put this one down
59:53
at four. Really? It's still a very solid sound,
59:58
but I feel like he might have a lot of in -game
1:00:00
sounds that are a lot more satisfying. So you
1:00:04
hear that Jeff because they're I personally there's
1:00:09
better slightly better ones number two the crowd
1:00:13
booing I Mean depends. Are we booing because
1:00:18
the ref made a shitty call? Are you the home?
1:00:21
Are you crowds booing at you or the wait? Are
1:00:24
you booing in a wave team because it's the Penguins
1:00:27
versus the Flyers rivalry? Are you booing because
1:00:30
just how terrible the The product was on the
1:00:34
ice like performance wise. This one could be
1:00:37
right in the middle I think because of that because
1:00:39
there's a lot of good qualities for it, there's
1:00:41
a lot of bad qualities for it. So I think that's
1:00:43
a good right solid middle tier. Number three,
1:00:48
the goal horn. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's probably,
1:00:51
that's almost half of the number one. I mean
1:00:54
the only time it's not when you're down 8 -0
1:00:57
and you score a goal you're like, oh whoopee.
1:01:00
Again! Again! No, like you're down eight to nothing
1:01:03
and then you finally pot one. You're like, oh
1:01:05
yippee boy, we scored one. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm
1:01:07
sorry, I'm sorry about that. So, number one?
1:01:10
All right. You can do one or two. Ah! It is such
1:01:19
a good sound, but it can be bad at the same time
1:01:21
too. Just like number three. Two? Yeah. Two?
1:01:25
Two, okay. Number four. Chirping. These are more
1:01:37
happy to more actions than sounds I mean like
1:01:40
these last two of the crab booing and chanting
1:01:42
and chirping is like more actions and sounds
1:01:46
A good fucking church man can really said to
1:01:51
over the edge. I have a feeling what he might
1:01:53
put for one, but I don't know put this one at
1:01:54
five I know, I almost know what he's gonna put
1:02:03
for one. But it's not, I don't wanna put this
1:02:06
at five. I don't either. But I feel like we have
1:02:09
to, because I have a feeling what number one's
1:02:10
gonna be. And number one. Yep, yep. Yep. It's
1:02:22
so good when it happens to, when it happens against
1:02:24
you, like cross bar and off. That's what I thought
1:02:25
you were gonna do, cross bar and out. But now
1:02:29
bar bar your opponent hits the crossbar and goes
1:02:31
away It could be but but team bar down the scores
1:02:36
bullying goes in. Yeah, that's okay. I was close
1:02:39
I was pretty similar, but I was thinking on the
1:02:42
other spectrum for that. See the same sound just
1:02:45
different outcome pretty much All right one couple
1:02:51
of things to touch on here the couple of trades
1:02:53
that happened Throughout the week Back on the
1:02:57
ninth, Colorado Avalanche acquired goaltender
1:02:58
Mackenzie Blackwood, Giovanni Smith, and the
1:03:02
fifth round pick in 2027 from the Zanon Jose
1:03:04
Sharks, in exchange for goaltender Alex Georgiev
1:03:09
for Nikolai Kovalchenko, a fifth round pick in
1:03:11
2025, and a second round pick in 2026. This one
1:03:16
kind of came as a shock to me, a huge shock to
1:03:17
me, but I know that goaltending has been where
1:03:21
Colorado has been struggling a lot this season.
1:03:23
That's been their biggest struggle. Georgia for
1:03:27
Blackwood. I don't know if I agree with that
1:03:30
one. Not 100 % on that if I'm gonna be honest
1:03:35
with you. That one was definitely I think they
1:03:38
could have gone after somebody a little bit better
1:03:40
than that. And one that I thought not funny but
1:03:44
just kind of ironic. St. Louis Blues acquire
1:03:46
defenseman Cam Fowler in fourth round pick in
1:03:48
the 2027 NHL draft exchange for defenseman Jeremy
1:03:56
Plus you. Thank you. And a second round pick
1:03:58
in the 2027 draft. What I found just strange
1:04:01
about that is literally like three days prior,
1:04:04
Cam Fowler had just became like second for games
1:04:06
played for Anaheim. And literally like three
1:04:09
days later, they're like, all right, thanks,
1:04:10
Cam. Later. Peace out, girls. I was like, what
1:04:14
the hell? They were just saying, oh, thank you,
1:04:16
Cam, for playing here as long as you have, but
1:04:19
we're trading you. And then they said, oh, Cam
1:04:23
Feller's second all -time for games played for
1:04:25
the Anaheim Ducks. Two days later, they treat
1:04:26
him like, thank you, Cam, for all the time you
1:04:28
spent here. We know you spent a lot of time and
1:04:33
things in your career to help us out, but big
1:04:37
little finger, man. One other last little thing
1:04:40
here is somebody put together a roster that if
1:04:47
Team Russia Yeah, we're to be put into the four
1:04:51
nations face -off and I want to discuss that
1:04:52
roughly the guys see if you think Who should
1:04:55
be in there? Maybe somebody who shouldn't? But
1:04:57
oh, yeah For the fours we got Panarin Malkin
1:05:01
and Kuturov Kaprizov, Buchnevich, Svechnikov
1:05:05
Ovechkin, Barbashev, Valeriy Nishuskin and Matvei
1:05:11
Michkov, Vlad Nemesnikov and Kirill Marchenko
1:05:16
Defense we got Mikhail Sergeyev, Dmitry Orlov,
1:05:19
Alexander Romanov, and Dmitry Kulakov. My sweetie,
1:05:22
oh my god. Vladislav Gavrikov, and Artem Zub.
1:05:27
And in gold tenders we got Vassi, Shosturkin,
1:05:30
and Bobrovsky. Scratchers being Evgeny Dadinov,
1:05:35
or extra's being Evgeny Dadinov and Ivan Prokhorov.
1:05:40
I mean, it could be a good lineup though, if
1:05:42
you know. No, I'm not gonna say that out there,
1:05:44
that's, nope. That's a conversation for off -the
1:05:47
-air. I think it's obviously a pretty damn good
1:05:50
list. It's a very good list. It really friggin'
1:05:54
is. Off the top of my head, I can't think of
1:05:56
any Russian players that should be on that list
1:05:58
that aren't. To be honest with you. So it's a
1:06:02
very, very, very good roster. I think that team
1:06:05
could possibly end up winning the whole thing.
1:06:09
I don't know. Cam, obviously, is still pretty
1:06:11
fucking good. Yeah. Yeah, this thing I don't
1:06:17
think we mentioned this last week But this is
1:06:19
just because I think this might have just happened
1:06:20
earlier this week Yeah, that one Soto contract
1:06:23
that's seven hundred and sixty five million dollar
1:06:25
contract closely. You're the one that sent this
1:06:28
This is a tweet from puck report at NHL Other
1:06:31
than seven contracts in NHL history to combine
1:06:33
first to hit on sorry There have been seven contracts
1:06:36
in NHL history that have hit a hundred million
1:06:39
dollars in total value all seven combined Still
1:06:42
do not reach the contract that one Soto just
1:06:44
signed Those players being Alex Ovechkin, Leon
1:06:48
Draxidle, Shay Weber, Sibdekid, Ilya Kovalchuk,
1:06:53
Nathan McKinnon, and Connor McDavid. Combined,
1:06:56
that total reached $753 .2 million. $12 million
1:07:01
shy of this contract I want so to sign. That
1:07:04
just tells you, like, number one, how overpaid
1:07:08
some of these and well -being pairs are. And
1:07:11
number two, like, just the salary cap. not restrained
1:07:15
but like it's the same for that same for the
1:07:17
nfl too like it seems like every year we get
1:07:19
a new oh he's the highest played quarterback
1:07:21
and he's the highest paid player in nfl history
1:07:23
then mahomes signed the contract oh mahomes is
1:07:26
the highest paid and then oh then it was two
1:07:28
attack of my level for like two days and then
1:07:30
it became jordan love then it became cj str -
1:07:32
like it's like every i don't think cj strike
1:07:35
is like his second year but yeah jordan love
1:07:36
is only had one good starting year like oh let's
1:07:39
pay him 55 million fucking dollars And just to
1:07:44
look at it, like... And don't get me wrong, these
1:07:46
are all great players, like Jordan Love, he had
1:07:48
a great season. I don't think he's a little bit
1:07:50
too early for that. Can he eventually earn that?
1:07:52
Possibly, but still, $55 million a year. And
1:07:56
just to look at it, like, comparing the salary
1:07:59
caps that I believe the NBA is under, and NHL
1:08:03
is under, versus, I know the NFL, their salary
1:08:06
cap is a little bit looser than... Then, you
1:08:09
know, the other two leagues. And MLB doesn't
1:08:11
have a fucking salary cap. Because of how many
1:08:13
games, respectively, how many games they play
1:08:15
in a single season. Yeah, I think it's ridiculous.
1:08:18
And, you know, not having a salary cap. Looking
1:08:21
at some of these... Actually, I was having this
1:08:23
conversation at Thanksgiving with my parents
1:08:25
and grandparents. You know, some of these bigger
1:08:28
market teams, you know, New York, LA. I know
1:08:31
Toronto Tech is a bigger market city, but they're
1:08:34
not really known for... MLB or baseball in general.
1:08:37
They're more known more for their hockey Just
1:08:41
these bigger market teams that can pay out a
1:08:44
hell of a more than say Detroit Pittsburgh Tampa,
1:08:48
Houston I know where it's seeming the MLB like
1:08:52
Well, that's what I'm saying MLB these bigger
1:08:55
market teams that don't think because there's
1:08:57
no salary cap in the MLB Yeah, so I mean teams
1:09:00
like as a New York both New York teams LA Even
1:09:06
Boston's out there for a lot of money Chicago
1:09:09
the Cubs, you know, they suck. I think I'm pretty
1:09:10
sure Chicago's up there Yeah, when you compare
1:09:13
them to you know Detroit the Pistons the Pirates
1:09:18
I'm thinking NBA. Tigers, the Pirates. The Morlins.
1:09:26
The Rays. The Angels now. They lost a couple
1:09:31
of their big guys. Yeah, some of these smaller
1:09:33
market teams that really can't compete with these
1:09:36
salary caps. That's been the debate. for years
1:09:40
now in the MLBs, for the MLB to enlist a salary
1:09:42
cap. But the same argument would be like, you
1:09:46
know, we got a light in the work mode, we got
1:09:48
light in the schedule then, because, you know,
1:09:50
what the NHL did, here's the cap, we only have
1:09:53
82 games, you know, every team here, here's your
1:09:56
basement, here's your studio, and obviously there
1:09:58
are certain exceptions to the basement with,
1:10:00
you know, Columbus and News and Johnny Good -bye
1:10:02
-Good -Roe, and obviously they're, yeah, we get
1:10:05
it. You guys can be below the base bench for
1:10:08
a little while. You guys do what you need to
1:10:10
do, kind of thing. It's just nuts how much any
1:10:17
players that aren't hockey players make nowadays.
1:10:19
Like somebody broke it down like Jordan Love
1:10:23
or like the highest played quarterbacks. They're
1:10:24
making upwards of like $25 ,000 like a second
1:10:27
or per snap that they play. It's unbelievable.
1:10:31
If you break it down like see somebody's making
1:10:33
$55 million. say your team doesn't make the playoffs
1:10:36
you only play 17 games you're making what almost
1:10:40
three million dollars a game per game and you
1:10:45
know it just depends you can you know you play
1:10:47
anywhere between 20 minutes and 40 minutes exactly
1:10:50
yeah i mean like obviously you know you're not
1:10:52
counting like the off -season trade doing training
1:10:54
camp and pre -season and practice and if you
1:10:56
do make the post -season you know those extra
1:10:58
you know three four games you might have to play
1:11:01
There's so much more fluctuation between I mean,
1:11:05
yeah, I mean hockey players take big Hicks and
1:11:07
you know, it's just it's just as physical as
1:11:09
a football is and stuff like that You know football
1:11:12
is just as physical as hockey as I should say
1:11:14
Well, I there's one stat that I will always go
1:11:17
back to and I wish I haven't saved Hockey players,
1:11:21
I think are like 17 % smaller than football players
1:11:27
But they hit, I think, 25 % harder. 25 or 35
1:11:30
% harder than the average NFL player. A significant
1:11:35
amount less padding, too, I'm pretty sure. The
1:11:37
amount of pads that I've seen a football player
1:11:39
have on compared to hockey players. Yeah. Goalie
1:11:42
definitely has the most out of anybody, for sure.
1:11:45
Taking Goaltender out of the situation, just
1:11:48
look at the average skater. The average skater
1:11:50
on your NHL team and line them up against an
1:11:54
offensive lineman. 180 maybe 190 pound 5 foot
1:11:59
10 forward compared to a 366 foot 4 pound NFL
1:12:04
lineman. The center is the smallest lineman on
1:12:11
an NFL team. Typically, yeah. So, comparing them
1:12:16
to, you know, taking fucking Zedino Charles tall
1:12:20
6 foot 9 ass out of the equation. It's ridiculous.
1:12:27
Yeah One more thing I kind of just happened to
1:12:32
