- 0:44my life so had to get that taken care of uh we're
- 0:47back and i'd say better than ever but i guess
- 0:50we'll see how that goes by the end of the episode
- 0:51yeah so yeah well take one wasn't so so hot no
- 0:57that's why we were delayed That's why we were
- 0:59very delayed. Did you guys mention that last
- 1:03week? He said, I didn't get around to listening
- 1:04to the whole episode. No, we've moved on. All
- 1:09we said was, you were away with personal issues,
- 1:11Bo was away with issues. All I'll say about it,
- 1:14we had already recorded episode one, but all
- 1:16I'll say is just, it did not turn out the way
- 1:19we wanted it to. We listened to it back and took
- 1:22a group vote. We're like, I think we've got to
- 1:23scrap this and just try this again. And we did
- 1:25that, and then we got delayed another week. But
- 1:28now we're here for week two, or episode two.
- 1:31So now let's get down and dirty with the business.
- 1:35I know, Jeffy, you said you had a couple questions
- 1:36to ask to get us started. They're honestly rapid.
- 1:40They're kind of a rapid question. I just figured,
- 1:43I figured for anyone who is just joining us for
- 1:45the first time or just kind of joining us very
- 1:48late, I figured just real quick, rapid fire,
- 1:51personal, just kind of get the note rolling real
- 1:54quick. There are only a couple I want to do,
- 1:57so the first one is obviously my favorite hockey
- 1:59team or NHL team. Ethan's Chicago, Kyle's Philadelphia,
- 2:07Jeffy is Washington, and I don't like hockey
- 2:09because fuck hockey. No, you're definitely an
- 2:14Olympics women's curling fan. You like swimming
- 2:16and curling? Yeah, let's go team China. That's
- 2:20going to give them more men's volleyball? It
- 2:22would. Nude Greek men's volleyball. Specifically
- 2:27Greek. No other. Yeah, he can relate with the
- 2:30body hair. I'll see. That was probably one of
- 2:34the worst jokes I've seen. Yeah, and then I'm
- 2:39a Redwins fan. I'm sorry. Because I like disappointment.
- 2:43I like 16 years of disappointment. this other
- 2:47one was just kind of favorite all -time like
- 2:49favorite either all -time your favorite current
- 2:52active player on your favorite team obviously
- 2:54mine's Cindy Crosby mine was Jake and bake now
- 2:59it's Crosby but I'm very very excited and I'll
- 3:02talk about this more with our main topic a little
- 3:03bit later I'm very very excited to see what Rucker
- 3:06McGrooney is going to answer I am so excited
- 3:07about it I'm very excited yeah I actually saw
- 3:11a video of him doing his rookie skate He's like
- 3:15Hellman or no Hellman? I saw him play live when
- 3:19he was playing for Michigan. I went down to a
- 3:21game in Penn State and he ended up scoring two
- 3:23or three goals against Penn State when he played
- 3:25for Michigan. I knew him and I know that he had
- 3:27played for the World Juniors. He was one of the
- 3:30better players on that World Juniors team. I
- 3:32just won once last year. I'm very excited to
- 3:35see what he's... Found out about that trade in
- 3:38the offseason. I said to these guys, like, holy
- 3:39fuck, we got record recording. Like, I was, I've
- 3:42been watching this game for a while and I'm very
- 3:43excited to see him play for Pittsburgh and see
- 3:45what he can do. Yeah, that's cool. Um, are we
- 3:50going just active or favorite player of all time?
- 3:53I'll do active and then I'll do my favorite player
- 3:56of all time. Um, favorite current active player
- 4:00from the Red Wings specifically? I mean, I think
- 4:06it's going to be kind of I'm gonna let my bias
- 4:10ring a little bit. I think Derb's is gonna do
- 4:13real good for For Detroit this season and again
- 4:17letting the Bias show because he is in fact a
- 4:19former otter. Yeah Which I still can't believe
- 4:23we fucking got him that was But the favorite
- 4:30player of all time man, that's Honestly, it's
- 4:38tough because it's depending on the rap that
- 4:40I could do. I could say those stereotypical things
- 4:42would be Rinkovsky is my favorite. I mean, you
- 4:48gotta give, I have to give it to the Motor City
- 4:52Magician himself in Pal Datsuk. I mean, the man
- 4:57is, the man's a fucking god. I remember when
- 5:00you were also so excited when you got your Datsuk
- 5:03jerk. I was excited when I got my dad's suit
- 5:05jersey and then they finally announced this year
- 5:07that he's going into the hall, which I... Long
- 5:12overdue. In my opinion, and you guys might disagree
- 5:16with me, but I don't think that there's anybody
- 5:18within our lifetimes that has played that has
- 5:21deserved the hall more. No, I can agree with
- 5:24that. I mean, like, the dude was a fucking stud
- 5:26for Detroit. If you're talking retired that haven't
- 5:28been in yet, yeah, dad's suit. Yeah, I mean...
- 5:34I would say it's Datsuke and... I'm trying to
- 5:45think of who else that I would enjoy. I would
- 5:49even say somebody like Nick Lindstrom too. The
- 5:56man that specifically got me into hockey and
- 6:00I was obsessed with him when I was a kid. the
- 6:04demolition man in Thomas Holmsford too. He was
- 6:08the man who made me fall in love with hockey
- 6:10and specifically Red Wings Hockey. The other
- 6:24one was obviously just across the NHL who's probably
- 6:29your favorite player. So I think mine is No surprises,
- 6:33Connor McDavid. My favorite player right now?
- 6:36Yeah. Yeah, I mean, there's no more, there's
- 6:38no, I don't think there's any player on the planet
- 6:40like that that's more fun to watch than Connor
- 6:41McDavid. Yeah, I mean, Jesus. Dude, just, he
- 6:45just doesn't stop. I disagree, I like Tom Wilson.
- 6:49No, fuck him. You would. Fuck you. Is it all
- 6:55you had, Jeffy? Um, there was one more question,
- 6:58actually two more questions that I figured I'd
- 7:00ask. Odyssey. Sniff we're talking about other
- 7:04skaters favorite act of goaltender. Flower. Flower.
- 7:10It's gotta be flower. Flower. I'd say my honorable
- 7:13would be Jake Odinger. I'd do a bit of a Jake
- 7:15Odinger. That's good. I was about to say Vassian.
- 7:22I've been developing more of a soft spot for
- 7:24Fetcher Demko too. I really like Fetcher Demko.
- 7:27I mean for me... He hasn't really gotten it.
- 7:29Sorry. He hasn't really gotten it. a real chance
- 7:32to have a full breakout season yet. I think this
- 7:35could be the one. He ended up showing signs of
- 7:37it last year. But if I'm honest, I think he ended
- 7:39up missing a little bit of time at the beginning
- 7:41of the season. So this is like his first full
- 7:44season where we can see what he can be to his
- 7:46fullest capability, his full caliber. I'm excited
- 7:49to see that for him. How about Ethan? There's
- 7:52a couple that immediately come to mind. For me
- 7:59honestly, I would say somebody like Help Connor
- 8:03Hellebuck. Yeah Hellebuck's amazing honestly
- 8:09I Would say Hellebuck You say sorrows and honestly
- 8:25A player that or a goalie that I don't think
- 8:27gets a whole hell of a lot of love, or as much
- 8:30love as he should outside of his respective franchise.
- 8:33UPL, man. Yeah. Fuckin' ukepekeluke, man. Ooh!
- 8:38Like... Spending a lot of, well not a lot of
- 8:40games, but like spending a few games watching,
- 8:42you know, UPL and watching Vassi die, especially
- 8:45like when he's like, playing in Tampa at home.
- 8:49Like, he's an amazing goaltender. Like, he's
- 8:51fun. But if you just watch him do his work and
- 8:54you know work his magic he's Yeah, and then you
- 9:07also my honorable mention will be the fucking
- 9:09Swedish giant himself and fucking Magnus Helberg
- 9:13Unfortunately, we're gonna get to see much of
- 9:16him in the bigs but Actually, well you won't
- 9:20you won't be able to see him in the bigs because
- 9:21he is the big You said that like five questions
- 9:33ago I'm split between Detroit and Chicago. Like,
- 9:56I'm sorry, I know they're big rivals with Detroit,
- 9:58but like... I've never been a huge Chicago fan.
- 10:03I don't hate them. I mean, Conor McGard is starting
- 10:05to get me more into them. It's another player
- 10:06that he's just so much fun to watch. The time
- 10:12to HL he was a fucking he's I think again we'll
- 10:15get to this later, but I think he's gonna have
- 10:16a monster fucking year this year Yeah, and then
- 10:23final question was obviously a second Second
- 10:27second favorite of an NHL team for me. It's the
- 10:31Sabres Okay For me, it's actually ironically
- 10:37enough another New York team in the bluecoats
- 10:40Oh really? My second favorite team is the Bluecoats.
- 10:48I think I have the second Sabres, but I'm also,
- 10:50if you want to go out west, as much as they're
- 10:53a success the last couple years, and like we
- 10:55just mentioned their goalie earlier, I've been
- 10:56really liking how Dallas has been playing. I
- 10:59like a lot of their guys. I really like Jason
- 11:00Robertson. I really like Rupe Hintz. I really
- 11:02like Wyatt Johnston. I really like Jake Ottinger.
- 11:05I like a lot of the guys over here. So we actually
- 11:06got to see Wyatt Johnston play a few years in...
- 11:09with Windsor when he was in Windsor. Spitfire
- 11:12alumni and he's doing just as good this year.
- 11:15Did pretty well last year at Dallas and I think
- 11:17he's gonna do just as good this year. I was gonna
- 11:19say, as much respect as I have for Buffalo, I
- 11:23gotta go with Tampa. That's how I knew you were...
- 11:25They're building, man. It's so fun. I've seen
- 11:29you temporarily live down in that area. I know
- 11:31you've had a little bit of a soft spot for that
- 11:33ever since, I know that. Yeah, and just like...
- 11:36between the connection and just before all their
- 11:41success when the otters won their last cup when
- 11:52the Penguins won their fifth cup you know so
- 11:56they they know how to party yeah and like when
- 11:58the teams go and the crowds go and it's just
- 12:01it's a vicious cycle it's so much fun cuz like
- 12:04downtown Tampa and St. Pete they're they're partying
- 12:08all day honestly like that that's kind of where
- 12:11my question because I knew you're calling you
- 12:13were between Buffalo or Tampa I didn't know officially
- 12:16which one it was I'm like I don't know if it's
- 12:18Buffalo or Tampa so I kind of like you know what
- 12:22what story is this question I kind of was very
- 12:25interested in what Ethan was gonna say yeah but
- 12:29the one game that I'm excited for that I'm actually
- 12:32trying to plan for the spring because I'm sorry.
- 12:34I'm eating So I'm planning to go and see my brother
- 12:38over sometime in April on Easter And he's only
- 12:43five -hour drive from Vegas or their one game
- 12:47there that the vast game of regular season They're
- 12:50at home against natural predators, and I really
- 12:54want to go see it, but no speed so like 200 bucks
- 12:58Well, that's also because it's in Vegas. You
- 13:02have the luxury of being in Las Vegas. As fair
- 13:06as that is, you're right. So yeah, I'm trying.
- 13:10I'm waiting a little bit closer to game time.
- 13:12That'd be your sixth arena or fifth? Fifth. Fifth,
- 13:18okay. Yeah, because Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Columbus,
- 13:21Tampa, and then Vegas would be number five. That's
- 13:24a good one. Yeah, I'd prefer to just do this.
- 13:27It'd be fun just to kind of get through for all
- 13:29of us. They're fair just for some of our newer
- 13:33listeners or people who just joined us late.
- 13:37Is that fair? And I have one pop quiz trivia
- 13:40question and I have one just current question.
- 13:43My one is, what do you think is more likely to
- 13:45happen this season? Or just at all? McDavid hitting
- 13:49160 points or Matthews getting 70 goals? They're
- 13:54both probably going to happen. They're both probably
- 13:56more likely. Matthews, you know, his contingency,
- 13:59you know, improves. continuously scores more
- 14:02goals as the seasons go on obviously that's 60
- 14:05for the second time 69 last year i think it is
- 14:08yeah nice but one off oh it's still a nice number
- 14:12but uh and then obviously mcdave again 153 points
- 14:18last year and again he's continuing to get better
- 14:21they're starting to finally build a decent team
- 14:23rather between him and leon like there's a chance
- 14:26that they both can do it i honestly could say
- 14:35I don't know man, I'm a little bit more leaning
- 14:40towards McDavid. You think he's more likely to
- 14:43do it? Yeah, I think so. Again, assuming both
- 14:49of them stay healthy and are able to take it.
- 14:50I say that's the biggest key. They can both stay
- 14:53healthy. Which I mean both of them really don't
- 14:55have a bad history of injury. I mean Mcdavid
- 14:58got hurt his rookie season. He missed one full
- 15:01year. I figured what it was for but I know he
- 15:07was out for one year like in 18 -19 or something
- 15:09like that. but still like he hasn't had a history
- 15:12and then the only thing that might bother Matthews
- 15:14is illness but which I know John Tavares was
- 15:16out last night's game and last night's contest
- 15:19between that with the Penguins with an illness
- 15:20so yeah who who knows so my trivia question that
- 15:26I have obviously again I don't know if I'm sure
- 15:29you guys mentioned this last week but honestly
- 15:30we lost Johnny Hockey this past offseason we
- 15:33all know his number his number number 13 But
- 15:37in his first ever NHL game back in the 2013 -2014
- 15:40season, he played one game, one game for the
- 15:43Calgary Flames, and he had a goal in that game.
- 15:46He did not wear the number 13 in that game. 94.
- 15:49What number did he wear in that game? 94. Was
- 15:53it 90... 30... was it 33? Ethan? I'm going to
- 16:10take a wild -ass guess. I'm going to use the
- 16:14swag method and do a scientific wild -ass guess.
- 16:18Forty -two. Jeffy was technically the closest,
- 16:21sort of, kind of. It was fifty -three. I knew
- 16:24he had a three in there. He had a number fifty
- 16:27-three in his first ever game, which he got a
- 16:29goal with in that first game. So I saw that I
- 16:32just looked it up curious kind of curiosities.
- 16:34That's all that he played one game Let's say
- 16:35you let me go look up Johnny Pedro's first -ever
- 16:37NHL goal and he scored and I was like that's
- 16:39that's not number 13 Yeah, that's a little trivia
- 16:43question. I thought I'd throw out there for you
- 16:44guys Other than that, um, I think we'll talk
- 16:50about that otters weekend. We just had the otters
- 16:52game last night specifically Why last night was
- 16:55definitely that was so much better than what
- 16:58they did Friday night Great great got three points
- 17:01out of four. I mean, that's definitely more fun
- 17:03to say that it very easily could have been Should
- 17:06have been four very easily could have ended up
- 17:07being one So especially with the way the first
- 17:11two periods went last night's game against against
- 17:13Windsor or we'll say Saturday nights from when
- 17:15you guys are listening to this Yeah, the first
- 17:18two periods of that game jobs and we just looked
- 17:20to fly the first 15 minutes of that game We have
- 17:22like two shots on goal. I think it's in the first
- 17:2515 minutes. We're like Windsor was definitely
- 17:29the much stronger team right out of the gate.
- 17:32I think they got two goals in the first seven
- 17:35minutes or something like that. It's weird to
- 17:56say that home angle played better than Davio
- 17:58that night. How many guys had two assists? I
- 18:03think Ty had one I think. Ty had one. A bunch
- 18:06of assists coming from the D men but also all
- 18:08the scoring I think was done by the Fords. Royston
- 18:11had two. Edwards had one. Spence I think had
- 18:15one. And Sodder had one. See I went five minutes
- 18:22we went into the third period down three to one
- 18:24and that's going five minutes or goals in the
- 18:26third when he's six to three I'm gonna also Friday
- 18:28and I give them the game time goal of what three
- 18:31seconds or four seconds I can't imagine how quiet
- 18:34the crowd got I just shocked. Are you kidding
- 18:38me? Oh, I know we were six on three at one point
- 18:41weren't we? Yeah, cuz what cuz they took too
- 18:45many men on the ice What I figure what the other
- 18:48panel? So the defenseman only got two points
- 18:53last night all six defensemen got two points
- 18:56a goal from solder and an assist from Holmago
- 19:00I did too but I was gonna say in order of succession
- 19:05from one to six Frasca unassisted Eddie from
- 19:09Alfie Pano Royston from Spencer Holmago Haman
- 19:14from Frasca Spence Slaughter unassisted and then
- 19:18Royston from ct -10 and missy heck. Yeah, it's
- 19:211730. They took a too many men penalty on Friday
- 19:24night Alfie took a high -sticking penalty in
- 19:291904 So I know we're running for a six on three
- 19:32with the empty net for a little bit there Yeah,
- 19:34so I'm sure just by the time I'm sure I can imagine
- 19:36pump I didn't need that and yeah, so our guys
- 19:38are probably just gas they were So just four
- 19:41seconds, man, and then losing one in the shootout.
- 19:44It's just rough. Gaining three out of four possible
- 19:48points is pretty good. And I know North Bay is
- 19:49also a decent team this year. Yeah, I was going
- 19:52to say, because Erie looked really good against
- 19:55North Bay that first period and a half. They
- 19:59outshot North Bay 19 to 5 just in the first period.
- 20:03In the first period? Holy shit. Yeah, and then
- 20:06of course then it kind of started evening up
- 20:07in the second, 13 to 9. North Bay and then North
- 20:12Bay just came out swinging in the third with
- 20:1416 shots. I'll take three out of four points.
- 20:17Yeah, good weekend of Hawters hockey. Hoping
- 20:20we can say that a lot more this season. I'm just
- 20:24surprised that freaking Ty Henry didn't get a
- 20:26penalty in that game. He was in the box quite
- 20:29a bit Friday night. That's one thing he really
- 20:35needs to work on this year. Discipline. was doing
- 20:40good there for a while in the first like those
- 20:44and then he just yeah he's like a first or second
- 20:47liner now oh really yeah we lost a lot of our
- 20:50defensemen the past two years so well if you're
- 20:53if you're the past two years losing morty kurkov
- 20:55uh sova johnston and we're still missing schaeffer
- 20:59schaeffer right well looking at our our top top
- 21:03four defensemen are going to be schaeffer solder
- 21:06dabs and henry yeah yeah and then you're probably
- 21:09gonna get y 'all the bottom four will swap between
- 21:13what hollow me go um well the last pairing that
- 21:16that third pairing is going to switch uh swap
- 21:18between three or three guys yeah so hollow me
- 21:21go knight ambrosio and who's the i think i'm
- 21:25picking up um that's actually all of them is
- 21:28that all of them okay yeah that's the one that
- 21:29at least they have listed yeah on the otters
- 21:32is yeah uh between the knights Oh my god, Ambrosio,
- 21:37which I think Ambrosio has been paying really
- 21:41well, so he deserves a number five spot. Yeah.
- 21:46I see another one that has been looking really
- 21:48good, like of the newer guys is obviously Frascustin's
- 21:52coming over from the trade. He's looked really
- 21:55good and then Tyler Challenger's... He's been
- 22:02saving us. I know he's been the main reason we
- 22:04have three wins now, so... Yeah, I heard he's
- 22:08looking. He might be the next Benny Good drug
- 22:11for us, really. Really? Really. I mean, he still
- 22:15has a lot of work to be done. Obviously, in the
- 22:16Swedish league, goaltenders don't normally handle
- 22:19the puck as much as over here stateside. So he
- 22:23does need to work on that, but, I mean, he's
- 22:26only... Nineteen nineteen. Yeah, so I mean he
- 22:31still has some time and well a lot of time to
- 22:33work I assume he's gonna be one of our OAs next
- 22:36year. But then again, obviously a Ross response
- 22:39an import spot as well So we will see it Jeff
- 22:44back on the 10th Nick D 'Angeles of the Sudbury
- 22:52Wolves played in his 200th career OAS game versus
- 22:55Peterborough Pete's Finn Marshall of the Sudbury
- 22:58Wolves gets in 40 saves against his first career
- 23:02shutout in a 1 -0 victory. Pedro Pizzo, Chase
- 23:07Laverdi, he was apparently suspended for two
- 23:15games for a check to the head. I'm surprised
- 23:20they wait to actually reveal what that suspension
- 23:24was for. couple to my son on the 11th Alexander
- 23:32Dior of the Sarnia sting gets his first career
- 23:37general's Connor Smith of the oh it's not attack
- 23:41gets his first career hat trick vs. the Niagara
- 23:44Ice Dogs Then on 12th PJ fagan of the London
- 23:51Nights gets his first career goal first of all
- 23:55storm on the 13th, today's date, Max Anderson
- 24:04of the front fibers gets his first career goal,
- 24:07versus Sarnia Sting, and then Cole Zorowski of
- 24:12the front fibers gets his first career goal.
- 24:15One thing I actually want to kind of, because
- 24:18I know there are big rumors going around, which
- 24:21I kind of want to get some of your guys's, I
- 24:23know Kyle and I have been talking about it, I've
- 24:40heard rumors that Erie's interested. I've heard
- 24:44he wants to stay stateside, he wants to stay
- 24:46closer to home. Which is from the New York area?
- 24:56An hour and 18 minutes from here. And I know
- 25:01St. Catharines in Niagara is only just a little
- 25:04closer, like an hour and two minutes or something
- 25:07like that. Well, with the way San Jose wants
- 25:10it, like where he wants him to land, they want
- 25:12him to go to like more of a defensive style system.
- 25:16And that's how Stan Butler is a very defensive...
- 25:19Defensive minded, defensive, like shut down kind
- 25:22of guy. If he comes over, he might have a really
- 25:24round belly. give us the perfect top six, like
- 25:27perfect. The only thing is, who are you keeping
- 25:31in your top six for daughters? I think it would
- 25:34be Kerry Spence, Musty, and then the fear line.
- 25:39There's gonna be some ways it's gonna, we'll
- 25:42probably have to go. I think that's kind of why
- 25:46Maldonado. I think it would be perfect to at
- 25:49least add Molinar because I know there's been
- 25:51rumors with Molinar going to Sudbury. Though
- 25:53the only thing is I have liked seeing Spence
- 25:57and Trance on two different lines. Yeah. So I
- 26:00mean kind of gives more of a depth scoring with
- 26:03two of our top five players being on two different
- 26:06lines. So it would be nice to see but then again
- 26:11I'm not the coach of the Dodders. I don't know
- 26:13shit so. Before we move on, because I missed
- 26:16last week, I know these guys did their predictions
- 26:18last week, so they were just standings. I just
- 26:20want to throw mine in real quick before we move
- 26:22on to the NHL. I'll start with the Eastern Conference.
- 26:26In 10th place, I have the Berry Colts. In 9th
- 26:29place, I have the Peterborough Peets. 8th place,
- 26:32I have what we just talked about, the Sudbury
- 26:33Wolves. and in seventh place i have the niger
- 26:36ice dogs they're looking really good so far and
- 26:38i you can ask these guys i made this list before
- 26:41the season started so i'm not just going based
- 26:43off their first five games or the first six games
- 26:45i had this list before the season started as
- 26:48i just had a feeling that they might actually
- 26:50do something this year um if they keep this up
- 26:52they're gonna be a lot higher than seventh but
- 26:54i have niger making the playoffs i have them
- 26:56actually doing something this year wow and six
- 26:59i have the ottawa 67s Fifth I have the Kingston
- 27:04Frontenacs. Fourth I have the Oshawa Generals.
- 27:07Third the Brantford Bulldogs. Second the Brampton
- 27:10Steelheads. I think he's saying that. And first
- 27:13the North Bay Battalion as they may call them.
- 27:19Moving over to the honors conference in the West.
- 27:22I have Sarnia Sting finishing in bed last on
- 27:24the 10th. The Flint Firebirds finishing in ninth.
- 27:28The Owen Souther tag just barely squeaking into
- 27:30a playoff spot in eighth. The Windsor Spitfires
- 27:33in seventh place, also bouncing back from last
- 27:36season. Which again, if they keep it up, they're
- 27:38gonna be a lot higher than set as well. The Sousingbury
- 27:41Greyhounds in sixth. In fifth I have the Guelph
- 27:45Storm. In fourth, having home ice advantage for
- 27:49at least the first round, the Erie Otters. In
- 27:52third, the Saginaw Spirit. In second, the London
- 27:56Knights end in first. Kitchener Rangers. Nice.
- 28:02I know London is one of those teams that just
- 28:06never seems to have a championship hangover.
- 28:08No. I know there's an interview that Sean Bednar
- 28:12did where he had said the same thing. It could
- 28:14be more true. London is that team. The championship
- 28:17hangover does not exist when you're in London.
- 28:20that just tells you how good like their development
- 28:23is just is and they always have good players
- 28:26coming back in like lose three good guys we'll
- 28:28have three better guys coming back in they are
- 28:31they're never gonna have enough season no yeah
- 28:36that is uh my take on the OHL standings nice
- 28:40yeah we can jump on in here to the NHL get us
- 28:45kicked off here with the milestones of the week
- 28:47Before we do that, they finally released, well
- 28:51last week, but I know we didn't go over it with
- 28:55three of us, so the four nations face -off coming
- 28:59up here in the spring. I know I brought a couple
- 29:01of both Team Canada and Team USA up to Ethan
- 29:05and Jeff that were here, but now we officially
- 29:08have all four rosters. I'm going to start with
- 29:11Team Finlandia. four forwards, three defensemen,
- 29:18and two of the two goalies extras going from
- 29:21left to right. So we have Leknin, Barkov, Frantinin,
- 29:25Tervainen, the Hurricanes Ajo, Kremlin, Macchelli,
- 29:32Hintz, Lainey, Halle, Lindell, and Tolvainen.
- 29:37On defense, Hiskinen, Lindell. I'm not even trying
- 29:41to pronounce that other name. Mo Kala, Wrist
- 29:44of Lining, and the Holy Artarchy. And then the
- 29:46goaltenders being Saros and Ljukunen. Sweden,
- 29:57you've got Forsberg, Elias Pedersen, Nylander,
- 30:01Bratt, Sabanachad, Kempe, Karlsson, Ericsson,
- 30:06Ek, Raymond, Lindholm, Backlund, and Karlsson.
- 30:10Well, not Karlsson, sorry. And then, defensively,
- 30:14you've got Dolly and Henderson, Eric Carlson,
- 30:17Victor Headman, and Forsling, with the goalies
- 30:19being Linus Almark and Jacob Markström. Canada.
- 30:26Hyman McDavid Marner, Crosby McKinnon Bedard.
- 30:32That was second line, dude. Oh my god. I feel
- 30:36like you can swap Bedard for Marshawn, but they
- 30:39currently have Marshawn on the side, the third
- 30:41death wing. with a point in Reinhardt, then Stone,
- 30:45Mr. IR Stone, Nick Suzuki, Matt Barzell, Devon
- 30:50Tayes, McCarr, McCarr, not Marker, McCarr, Morrissey,
- 30:56Bouchard, Dunn, and Dobson, with the goalies
- 30:59being Bennington and Aiden Hill. But they're
- 31:02a goal -tender being Stewards Gunner. And then,
- 31:07Murka. Team Murka. Fuck yeah. You gotta try to
- 31:11guess this. Alright, go ahead. I'm gonna say
- 31:13Matthews. Eichel. Uh, Zegras. Uh, no Zegras.
- 31:21Zegras isn't on there. But we got Matthews is
- 31:24the first line center, Eichel is the third line
- 31:26center, for now. Third line, so it would be second
- 31:28line center from America. Um... Gansoul should
- 31:36probably be on... Uh... Left wing, two. Second
- 31:41line, left wing. Uh, Brandon Point, is he American?
- 31:46Uh, he is, but he's not... Oh no, he's Canadian.
- 31:50Brandon Point's Canadian, okay. I'm really surprised
- 31:54Zegar says it on there. I am, too. American Goaltender,
- 31:58I'll say Gibson and Helen Buck. Howell Buck is
- 32:01correct, Gibson's not on here. Gibson is not,
- 32:03okay. Right now, Hello Book's... Audinger. Audinger's
- 32:07American, isn't he? Yeah, but he's not on here.
- 32:09He's on there either? What? Hello Book is stated
- 32:12as the starting goalie. Backup. Is he older or
- 32:18is he younger? Yeah, I think you were just talking
- 32:21about a murderer. Denko? Yeah, he's stated as
- 32:24the backup goalie. I didn't know he was American.
- 32:26Yeah, I didn't know either. I mean, Thatcher
- 32:29is a pretty American name, but Denko isn't. That's
- 32:32why I was confused. Well, I mean, you've got
- 32:35guys like fucking Stuart Skinner up in Edmonton.
- 32:38I mean, you can't get more fucking vanilla American
- 32:41than that. Well, he's Canadian, so. I know. But
- 32:43I'm just saying, like, that's a more American
- 32:48name than fucking Thatcher Damko. I wanna try
- 32:51to get at least one American defenseman. I'll
- 32:58give you hints. There's one defenseman I'm looking
- 33:02at. Has at least a brother at least a brother
- 33:06in a league They are not on here Oh Yeah, yeah,
- 33:28or Quinn's on here. Jack's also on here. No Luke.
- 33:33I meant Jack. I don't know why I said Luke. So
- 33:36Same kind of setup first line Matthew Kachuk
- 33:41Matthew's color Gensel Jack Hughes and JT Miller
- 33:46Robertson Eichold Tate Thompson Goldie Larkin
- 33:50Brady Kachuk Defense Slaven Fox Hughes McEvoy
- 33:57Sanderson Carlson Saban's American. Really? Goalie's
- 34:03Hellebuck Demko, the Scratches Dextrose, Trocheck
- 34:07Connor, oh Kyle Connor, Zach Warneski, and Jeremy
- 34:11Swainman. Your three goaltenders, Hellebuck,
- 34:14Demko, Swainman. I didn't know Swainman was American
- 34:16either. I thought Swainman was Canadian. Wow.
- 34:20Oh yeah, and then the Scratches for Canada RNH,
- 34:24O 'Reilly, Theodore, and Skinner. Yeah. So...
- 34:28You got some pretty stacked lineups there. Yeah.
- 34:34And before we also get into milestones, well
- 34:38these are candy milestones, I don't know how
- 34:40you want to classify them. The longest tenured
- 34:43captains in NHL history? I have six on this list.
- 34:48Crosby? Yep, how many seasons? Oh yeah, the number
- 34:53of seasons when he started and when he finished.
- 34:56This is the 18th season of Captaincy? Yep. So
- 35:00you became captain in what, the 07 -08 season?
- 35:02Yeah, 07 -08. He's one of two active captains
- 35:06on this list. So some of them are not active?
- 35:09Yeah. Okay, Jonathan Taze? Yep. How many seasons?
- 35:1315. Yep. And from when to when? I think he would
- 35:17have started the year after Crosby? The 08 -09
- 35:21season? Yep. Or the year before. Did he play
- 35:24last year? I think, no, yeah, I think, yeah,
- 35:27I'll think he played last year. I think he retired.
- 35:29No, he sat well. I'm not sad. I think he retired,
- 35:31but he's not on the team. He's technically still
- 35:34a free agent. Yeah, so. He's been in the 21 -22
- 35:37season. 22 -23. 22 -23. So you got the number
- 35:40two, and, uh, tell us who's tied for fifth. Uh,
- 35:45Messier? Nope. Gretzky? Nope. No. Tell me, longest
- 35:49tenure for the same team. Well, longest tenure,
- 35:52period. Yeah, for the same team. Okay. This is
- 35:57like, all time? All time, NHL upstream. Steve
- 36:00Iserman? Yep. I say it's, his is, cause I know
- 36:04his is, he's one year, Crosby's one year shy
- 36:07of him and that. Alright, what are the seasons?
- 36:11Oh. Is it for, is it for one team? Yeah, one
- 36:15team, one team. So for Detroit, which, you know.
- 36:21Is there another Detroit in there? No He was
- 36:32captain, but he wasn't captain for freakishly
- 36:35long so we have You have three you guys see me
- 36:40Steve white number one Yeah, Johnny Tase is to
- 36:45you Cindy Crosby it's no Stevie Y was 19 seasons
- 36:51from the 86 -87 season to the 05 -06 season.
- 36:57You got Crosby obviously in 18 seasons between
- 37:00the 07 -08 season to the present day season and
- 37:03Johnny T's tied at 5th from the 08 -09 season
- 37:07to the 22 -23. So he's a copetar on there. He
- 37:09is not. Damn. OV? Yep, he's the other active
- 37:16player, he's tied for third. Now, how many seasons,
- 37:19and from what season was his first season, captain?
- 37:27Well, because I know he got drafted the same
- 37:29year as Crosby, didn't he? His rookie year would
- 37:35have been the lockout year. So that's why Crosby
- 37:38and Ovi shared a... You're missing the other
- 37:55player that's in third and the other player that's
- 37:57in fifth. Obviously both are not active. Yeah,
- 38:04one that's tied with Ovechkin at 16, and one
- 38:07that's tied with Taze at 15. I don't know if
- 38:11he was a fucking captain. Or either one of them
- 38:13currently. No. I can't remember. Yeah, everybody's
- 38:16retired. Crosby and Ovechkin were the only two
- 38:19active players on the system. Because I think
- 38:23he technically retired, but I can't remember
- 38:25if he was a captain. I think he was. Voracek?
- 38:29Nope. Not on there. Hints. One played for Colorado.
- 38:34One played for Boston. Sack? Nope. Nip. Or no.
- 38:39Yes. Sack, dick, okay. He goes to Colorado. Who
- 38:42played? No one played for who? Boston. Tur? No.
- 38:47Another Boston captain. Bergeron? Nope. I was
- 38:57just about to say. Who the fuck would have been
- 39:00a captain? Ray Bork. That's what he's talking
- 39:03about. Wow. Yeah, Joe Sackick was 16 seasons
- 39:10from the 92 -93 season to the 08 -09 season.
- 39:14And Ray Bork was from 15 seasons from the 85
- 39:16-86 season to the 99 -2000 season. Wow. Okay.
- 39:21So. Wow. Yeah. Ray Bork. God damn it. Do I feel
- 39:27fucking so stupid for forgetting? Oh, that's
- 39:30good Wow, I know he's been a captain for a long
- 39:32time But I wasn't sure if he had made that list
- 39:34yet to know he'd started a little bit later After
- 39:38to the year after we beat them in the second
- 39:40on the NARC first couple So nothing Alexander
- 39:44seven was still the captain that year. No seven
- 39:47was never the captain. There's another guy I
- 39:50can't remember but seven never were to see he's
- 39:54only one day He was one of the alternate captains
- 39:58between him and me Mike Green Mike Green Wow
- 40:15Milestones here for the NHL since mine's going
- 40:17all the way back to October 5th since the first
- 40:19game of the season, obviously because I missed
- 40:21Episode 1. Back the first game of the season
- 40:23with that global series between the Devils and
- 40:27the Buffalo Sabres, Seamus Casey of the New Jersey
- 40:29Devils scored his first career NHL goal against
- 40:32Buffalo. Seamus. It's a dope name. Seamus Casey.
- 40:38November, or October 9th, Nathan McKinnon recorded
- 40:40his 900th career point against the Vanity School
- 40:43Knights. October 10th, Dennis Heidelby of the
- 40:49Toronto Maple Leaf recorded his first career
- 40:50win against the Devils in his first career start,
- 40:54mind you. Evgeny Balkin recorded his 800th career
- 40:59assist on an EK65 goal against the Detroit Red
- 41:02Wings. And Joel Bloomquist recorded his first
- 41:05career win in his first start as well. Maxime...
- 41:12Ty Plokoff of the New York Islanders scored his
- 41:15first career goal in his first game against Utah
- 41:18It's so weird to say, Utah Macklin Celebrini
- 41:23scored his first career goal against the St.
- 41:25Louis Blues becoming the second fastest ever
- 41:28to score in his NHL debut behind Mario Lemieux
- 41:32Super Mario On the 11th, Mark Sheichley recorded
- 41:36his 300th career goal with an overtime winner
- 41:39against the Blackhawks The Queer And on the 12th,

- 41:50Toronto. Emile Heineman recorded his first career
- 41:55NHL goal against the Senators. Matt V. Mitchkov
- 41:59of the Philadelphia Flyers recorded his first
- 42:01career point in a game against the Flames. Both
- 42:05Seth Jones and Marcus Folino skated in their
- 42:07800th career game. Philip Forsberg skated in
- 42:10his 700th career game and Joel Erickson Eck skated
- 42:14in his 500th career game. And I just got an article
- 42:19across my phone real quick. The Red Wings have
- 42:24just made a personnel change as of four hours
- 42:29ago. Billy Huso has been officially placed on
- 42:33waivers. Oh shit. Wow. Pittsburgh fucking open
- 42:38your ears, dude Jari Jari to Detroit to Detroit
- 42:43for a bag of happy Doritos Anybody do one for
- 42:51one tree we will pay you $500 to take dry I'll
- 43:00take I'll take that shorts but uh before we move
- 43:12on to the topic I will also go through my NHL
- 43:14predictions really quickly here I'm starting
- 43:16the Pacific and a surprise surprise I have the
- 43:19San Jose Sharks haven't gotten much better and
- 43:22was celebrating now he's gonna be on the obviously
- 43:24he can't make much of a difference if he's gonna
- 43:26be on the IR to miss a couple weeks with a lower
- 43:28body injury seventh obviously also not getting
- 43:32much better the Anaheim Ducks They've all got
- 43:35sixth place. Again, I think the bottom three
- 43:36hasn't changed with the Calgary Flames. Fifth
- 43:40place potentially, depends on how the other division
- 43:43goes, could tweak into a second wild card spot,
- 43:45the Seattle Kraken. In fourth, I have the LA
- 43:50Kings. In third, I have the Vancouver Canucks.
- 43:54Second, I have the Edmonton Oilers. And in first,
- 43:57I have Vegas taking it this year, taking the
- 43:58Pacific. Thank God for another fucking... Edmonton
- 44:03LA matchup. Okay, it was fun the first time,
- 44:07okay the second time. I'm fucking tired. I was
- 44:10tired of it after the third time around. Moving
- 44:12on to the central. In eighth place I have the
- 44:16Chicago Blackhawks. On seventh I have the St.
- 44:19Louis Blues. In sixth I have the Minnesota Wild.
- 44:25In fifth I have the Utah... Hockey club, which
- 44:29they're off to a hot as hell start. Yeah really
- 44:31well 20 ,000 fans can't even see it but Nashville
- 44:36Predators coming in fourth place the Winnipeg
- 44:39Jets in third the Colorado Avalanche in second
- 44:43and Dallas taking the central you know what's
- 44:46actually funny You and I have the exact same
- 44:50exact same Wow the exact same looks like we're
- 44:58pretty close on the pacific too oh we have the
- 45:03top two swap with almost the exact same ones
- 45:05in the pacific too wow great minds think alike
- 45:08eighth place in the atlantic take a take a wild
- 45:11shot in the dark it's the buffalo savers i'm
- 45:17done giving them credit oh i think they're gonna
- 45:19be good here i'm done doing that like they're
- 45:21gonna be in eighth place uh the same place they
- 45:23have been getting better like that's not giving
- 45:25them any Disrespect they have every time I say
- 45:28it they get they don't do well, so I'm done Just
- 45:33watches the season that they actually do The
- 45:38seventh place of Montreal Canadians they Canadians
- 45:41they Montreal as some would say in sixth place.
- 45:43I have the Ottawa Senators Fifth one this might
- 45:46not make me very popular the Tampa Bay Lightning
- 45:50Fourth place yeah, I'm starting to like you less
- 45:53than us Fourth place, I have the Toronto Maple
- 45:57Leafs. Third place, I have the Detroit Red Wings.
- 46:02And in second, I have the Boston Bruins. First,
- 46:06I have Florida taking it again. That one, yeah,
- 46:10that one might not make me too popular, but.
- 46:15I just think losing Stammer's gonna really affect
- 46:18them. They haven't seen hockey without Stammer
- 46:20in what, 13 years? I think it's gonna have a
- 46:24tough effect on them. I think they're gonna be
- 46:26missing that for at least probably a good half
- 46:27of the season before they can adjust to that.
- 46:30And I don't think, no offense, I don't think
- 46:31Jake Gensel can quite add up to what Stammer
- 46:33was. I do think Jake's gonna have a great year,
- 46:35but I don't think he can quite beat what Stammer
- 46:37was. Because Jake could probably stay a lot healthier
- 46:39than Stammer. That's the thing. In eighth place,
- 46:44you gotta still give credit to Johnny Hockey,
- 46:46but I'm sorry, the Thomas Blue Jackets are still
- 46:47gonna finish eighth. They're gonna be at least
- 46:49playing for a lot of pride this year. They're
- 46:51gonna be playing for a lot of pride. They're
- 46:52gonna be playing for Johnny, but unfortunately
- 46:54I don't think... Metro is still I think one of
- 46:56the tougher divisions in the league and just
- 46:58having to play all these other teams multiple
- 47:00times a year. You're gonna lose a lot of games.
- 47:04In seventh I have the Philadelphia Flyers. In
- 47:07sixth I have the New Jersey Devils. In fifth
- 47:10I have your Pittsburgh Penguins. I still don't
- 47:13see us making the playoffs this year sadly. Neither
- 47:15do I. In fourth I have the Washington Capitals.
- 47:18Third, I have the New York Islanders. Second,
- 47:21I got the Bluecoats. And then first, I got the
- 47:24Carolina Hurricanes. Nice. Yep, that is my NHL
- 47:31predictions. Alright, for our main topic of this
- 47:36evening's podcast, we're gonna be going through
- 47:38all 32 NHL teams and listing off who we think
- 47:41is gonna be a sleeper, like a quietly really
- 47:44good player this year, and who we think is gonna
- 47:47be potentially maybe like the worst player or
- 47:50maybe like a player that should be good, a player
- 47:52that typically is good and might have an off
- 47:54year. So we'll go alphabetical order, at least
- 47:57that's how I have mine listed here. Going with
- 47:59the Anaheim Ducks. For my sleeper for Anaheim,
- 48:04I think Mason McTavish is gonna have like a quiet,
- 48:07like a really good year quietly, because you
- 48:08know being from Anaheim you might not pay a lot
- 48:11of attention to him. I think he could potentially
- 48:12have like a 70, maybe like a point per game kind
- 48:15of season. For mine I got I mean a new team he's
- 48:26gonna be a leader on set team so I feel like
- 48:30he's gonna He's gonna step it up as one of the
- 48:32veteran guys. He's getting up their knees. He's
- 48:34what like 31 32 He's not too old, but he's getting
- 48:38up there he is 31 31 and we're not locked to
- 48:44just Before record right enough to be any plug
- 48:47to be a fucking goalie Man that's kind of tough
- 48:58See for me. I think they're breakout like sleeper
- 49:03player. Honestly. I'm looking at somebody like
- 49:05Troy Terry I can see that too. I think for tears
- 49:10And they're not be any like record -breaking
- 49:13numbers, but like Good good for him kind of thing.
- 49:17Yeah, good for him kind of things I also actually
- 49:20also said just like how I also send me some McTavish
- 49:23as well Also, they got him as a emergency backup
- 49:37with Dostle and Gibby is their two goaltenders.
- 49:42So third string goaltender yeah maybe second
- 49:46if dostal decides to you know shit himself there
- 49:49yeah maybe uh for my tanker this one might actually
- 49:53not be proper i said trevor's egress that's actually
- 49:57what i also said just with just no i just noticed
- 50:00the way he's been playing with me the last season
- 50:02and like i've seen his play the first couple
- 50:03games so far it almost seems as though he's playing
- 50:06as if he doesn't really if he's not too happy
- 50:09he doesn't really want to be there anymore well
- 50:11when you just signed a contract i think I think
- 50:14before last season, I think he signed this contract.
- 50:17It was only three years, so I can probably prove
- 50:19that it's only three years. He's probably doesn't
- 50:21want to be there forever. Well, one of the best
- 50:23player and one of the worst teams in the show.
- 50:25Obviously, you're going to kind of be pissed
- 50:27off and not want to be there. So that's why I
- 50:29think he might have kind of an off year, maybe
- 50:33not purposely, but just because the team itself
- 50:35is so bad, he might not be as good as he should
- 50:38be. I had two that could really be flipped between
- 50:42another two. Bigger names and that's either alex
- 50:46kalorn or their new captain fucking red coat
- 50:52I Was shocked shocked a shit when I saw the red
- 50:56coat goodness the new captain. Yeah fucking anybody
- 50:59I I gotta agree with the alice kalorn part. I
- 51:02mean he did go to Tampa But then again when he
- 51:04was in Tampa they had a stacked fucking team
- 51:11I mean if your best player is Trevor Zechras,
- 51:15our best skater is going to be Trevor Zechras
- 51:18and he doesn't give a fuck. And another one that
- 51:20could be thrown into that hat could potentially
- 51:22even be somebody like Mason McTavish too. Really?
- 51:25That's what I said for my sleeper. For what?
- 51:31Hamilton Bulldog? Alright. Moving on to the Boston
- 51:37Bruins for my sleeper. I said Elias Lindholm
- 51:40Okay, I think you got a very similar to him a
- 51:43new team I think he you can have a pretty good
- 51:46year with a very good Boston team He's gonna
- 51:50have probably be put on the line. I would guess
- 51:52probably with with passion act or March on Go
- 52:04on, Jeffy. I said for me, I said on Morgan Geeky.
- 52:09I could see that. Morgan Geeky, yeah. Fuck. I
- 52:19genuinely think, and it's probably because he's
- 52:21potentially like my favorite current Bruin, if
- 52:25I'm going to have anybody. I'm going to say somebody
- 52:27like Charlie McAvoy. OK. Quite a big fan of Mac
- 52:34as it just as a defenseman I'll skip it. I'm
- 52:37quick. I actually had it as my tanker Really?
- 52:40I just I don't he's just kind of gotten worse
- 52:43and worse as the years have gone on His work
- 52:46here was pretty good. Then he had a pretty good
- 52:47year the year after but then ever since then
- 52:49he just kind of Kind of fell off. He hasn't had
- 52:52a really good year since That's fair So my my
- 52:59You know, Sleeper is going to be the newly acquired
- 53:02Jonas Korpisala. Jonas Korpisala? Yeah, the guy
- 53:05who came over in the Alamark trade from Ottawa,
- 53:08you know. You have a really good backup gold
- 53:10tender there? Well, I mean, obviously with his
- 53:14piss -poor start against Florida in their home
- 53:17opener, and you know, now that he actually is
- 53:21on team who has a good supporting cast in front
- 53:25of him now, finally, because Ottawa never had
- 53:27that. Yeah. You know what I just realized? Almost
- 53:30to the date, I am four months older than Jeremy
- 53:32Swyman. Wow. And then my sleeper is going to
- 53:41be Charlie Coyle. Or like your not so good player?
- 53:46Yeah, not so good. My shite player of the season.
- 53:50My tanker is... I might have to agree with...
- 53:56That was an unfortunate decision for Boston.
- 54:11I'd bring up there for Buffalo. Buffalo was probably
- 54:18one of the toughest ones. I'm going and he's
- 54:21been getting better since his rookie year. I
- 54:23mean he was first overall in what the 21 draft
- 54:26own power I Think this can be like his true breakout
- 54:30seem like I think this might be his first like
- 54:32full season Where he I think he's gonna do really
- 54:37good possibly being right next to Darlene. I
- 54:39think that's really gonna help Well, I think
- 54:41he's currently on the second defensive parent
- 54:44because Darlene's partner which I have as my
- 54:48super is Yokihari. Yokihari? Okay. He's currently
- 54:53on the top offensive corner of Dolby in the hand.
- 54:57Just to see those guys, I saw a couple highlights
- 54:59of Yokihari's first goal of the season and with
- 55:03him and Dolby playing at the blue line with each
- 55:05other, it's like, he is a wicked, wicked one
- 55:09to you. I mean, he's on the right side, but how
- 55:13they can switch back and forth and just slay
- 55:15him away. I do think that might change. We might
- 55:18see those two switch, you know, depends on how
- 55:20well they play. Might see those steps switch.
- 55:23It's not a mistake. They named Darlene Captain,
- 55:24didn't they? Yep. Okay, I thought so. Which was
- 55:26honestly well deserved. Honestly, they should
- 55:29have... I was gonna say it was gonna be between
- 55:30probably either him or Thompson. Yeah. Yeah.
- 55:33Or Tuck on one of those two. Tuck too, yeah.
- 55:36Yeah, maybe. But honestly, Darlene should have
- 55:38been named at least before... even before Cock,
- 55:41the fossil one even was. I'm the the oldest player
- 55:46on on their blue line is Will be 20 years old
- 55:50by the time to pay. I'll start or not 20 30 29
- 55:56years old and a car I was gay that the youngest
- 56:04is mr. Owen power himself. I Was between cup
- 56:09Buffalo's probably was one of the tougher ones
- 56:11tough because there's there's so many I could
- 56:14just but like I'll kind of honorable mention
- 56:19him um but I think um Peyton Krebs is gonna is
- 56:23my honorable one then um but Owen Powers is my
- 56:28own power is gonna be the breakout for me I think
- 56:32my breakout just because again love him as a
- 56:35modern day goaltender UPL it I and with an honorable
- 56:39mention to believe it or not and you guys might
- 56:42look at me crazy for this. JJ Peturka. Really?
- 56:46I think he's due for a good season. I can agree
- 56:49with that. That's why I said Buffalo was probably...
- 56:51I think he's one of the more underappreciated
- 56:54members of the Buffalo roster. I can respect
- 56:59his game. Tanker. Dylan Cousins. I'm sorry. I'm
- 57:09sorry. He's done pretty... He's not like the
- 57:13top tier player, but he's been pretty consistent
- 57:15in the last couple seasons here. And I know Tejan
- 57:18Tukwalt really had to step up that four to core,
- 57:22but like... I know with the addition to Jason
- 57:25Zucker and the return to Jack Quinn, you know,
- 57:28that will help, but you know, because he's gonna
- 57:31have a shite year. That's actually who I also
- 57:33said as well was Dill Cousins as well as my...
- 57:37That's fair. Um... I actually... was gonna say
- 57:41Jason Zucker I think this might be another situation
- 57:45where you know that short hair where Taylor Hall
- 57:47was over there for what half a season I think
- 57:50we're seeing something similar with Zucker I
- 57:51can see him being gone by the deadline I'm saying
- 57:57either Zooks or believe it or not Sam Lafferty
- 58:00yeah that's not a good fit over there for them
- 58:03so who do we got up next there Haas? Calgary
- 58:13shames He's gonna be my sleeper. Yeah, okay.
- 58:18Yeah shit season asked here He's been shitting
- 58:21that crap since he every ever since he came over
- 58:23to Calgary Now it is there Yeah, it's third season
- 58:28up in Calgary. He's finally gonna come back to
- 58:31his Florida Panthers form and really step up
- 58:34and no be in the spotlight For me, this is also
- 58:38another a newly acquired from Calgary this offseason.
- 58:41I think we mentioned this at the end of last
- 58:43season We said that this guy specifically this
- 58:45would be like a proof of year for him wherever
- 58:47he decided to go where he signed that being former
- 58:50Red Wing Place to go or if you want to want to
- 59:08shine as one of the best players on the team
- 59:10Well, it's because it's not fucking hard. Yeah
- 59:14Yeah, I was tied between two one of them obviously
- 59:19being mantha The other one's kind of a left.
- 59:22Well, technically a right field type player in
- 59:26under kuzmengo I think kuzmengo. I'd probably
- 59:32put him a little bit It gets better and better
- 59:36every year. I can see him being the one that
- 59:40does it, yeah. Just like Collin, I also agree
- 59:44that Jonathan Huberto will bounce back. I think
- 59:49just last year was the year prior was just kind
- 59:52of... For the tanker, I said just as a whole,
- 59:57goaltending. I think goaltending is really gonna
- 1:00:00be weird. They're not gonna have fun. Teams are
- 1:00:04gonna have fun playing against Calgary because
- 1:00:06they're both ending. I don't see... No offense,
- 1:00:08either Dustin Wolf or Vlad R. I just don't think
- 1:00:15that they can get it done. I think they're both
- 1:00:18inexperienced. I don't think either one of them
- 1:00:20are capable of being a starter just quite yet.
- 1:00:23I would say Vlad R is 27. For me I think my tankers
- 1:00:47gonna be My tanker is in his second stint with
- 1:00:56Calgary, Mr. Ryan Lombard. Second stint, you
- 1:01:03know, in Calgary, he spent the first 11 games
- 1:01:07between the 17 -18, 18 -19 season in Calgary,
- 1:01:10he spent the past four in the forward eye, obviously
- 1:01:12winning the Stanley Cup, now back in Calgary.
- 1:01:15Again, not gonna do good, but I don't think anybody's
- 1:01:19gonna do good in that Calgary team. I was just
- 1:01:22saying in mind it would be Tyson Barry in that.
- 1:01:25Really? Yeah. I forgot he went to Calgary too.
- 1:01:28Wow, I need to go back and re -look at the Friedensteinings
- 1:01:32this past week. Yeah, so I was like... I forget
- 1:01:34where half these plays are playing now. Colorado?
- 1:01:37For Carolina. Carolina. I have goaltender Freddy
- 1:01:42Anderson for my sleeper. Because he hasn't had
- 1:01:46a full season in a couple years and I'm hoping
- 1:01:48that this could be the year where he does...
- 1:01:50Get to have that full season, full healthy season.
- 1:01:52And when Freddie Henderson is healthy, he's a
- 1:01:55damn good goalkeeper. He's arguably top five,
- 1:01:58top seven in the league. In the league when he's
- 1:02:00healthy. So I think he's going to be the slate.
- 1:02:02He's going to have a quietly, like really, really
- 1:02:04good bounce back season. Oh, wow. I forgot fucking
- 1:02:07Brent Burns is over there now. Yeah. I was going
- 1:02:09to say, yeah, Jack Rossovic's my sleeper. Third
- 1:02:13team in two seasons, three seasons. Columbus
- 1:02:18he started with and who did he get traded to?
- 1:02:20The Rangers in the Deadline. The Rangers, that's
- 1:02:22right, yeah. And then obviously his contract
- 1:02:24expired and signed a, I forget how long of a
- 1:02:28deal, but he signed a deal obviously now in Carolina.
- 1:02:30So, you know, finally paying for, number one,
- 1:02:33a good team that's not Columbus. And, you know,
- 1:02:37that doesn't have the president's curse on them
- 1:02:39like in New York, so. For mine... For my sleeper,
- 1:02:46honestly, I'm gonna say somebody Fuck this is
- 1:02:52tough because I'm too tight between two either
- 1:02:56Jesper Jesper eco can hear me or Believe it or
- 1:03:02not somebody like Martin egus About that Martin
- 1:03:07egus is actually my tanker really um for the
- 1:03:10sole reason is every time that i think oh i think
- 1:03:13the penguins should have went after him this
- 1:03:14off season whatever he signs he ends up having
- 1:03:16a shit year so i said that the penguins should
- 1:03:19have went after martiniches this off season so
- 1:03:20therefore he's probably going to have a shit
- 1:03:22year so i'm just saying that just specifically
- 1:03:25for that reason i said my sleeper is obviously
- 1:03:28um seth jarvis and then my um excuse me um He's
- 1:04:06actually one of the three players in between
- 1:04:09For your tanker or for my tanker or mom's gots
- 1:04:14to be here And believe it or not. This might
- 1:04:17be a hot take. I'm gonna get a lot of flack for
- 1:04:20it Between injuries and just playing like playing
- 1:04:26a garbage snake. I don't think this season's
- 1:04:29gonna be a hot season for him Get out get out
- 1:04:36of my house right now Yeah, I would say Honestly,
- 1:05:15I'm going to say Bedard and potentially even
- 1:05:18somebody like, um, what the fuck, I mean, oh,
- 1:05:22uh, two Votera Vina. Okay. And then tanker as
- 1:05:28much as it fucking hurts me to say, uh, honestly,
- 1:05:33probably Razzie. Razzie. Oh, Razzie. Well, they
- 1:05:39might tankers gonna be the other Connor on this
- 1:05:41roster and Connor Murphy Yeah, I think I'm sorry
- 1:05:56you can but I'm going to have a Bertouzi I just
- 1:05:59don't think that Chicago is a good system for
- 1:06:01him, just based on his play. How he played in
- 1:06:05Detroit, how he played in Toronto, I just don't
- 1:06:07think it's a good system for him. Detroit, Boston,
- 1:06:10Toronto, all good systems for him. Now moving
- 1:06:19on to the Colorado Avalanche. Sleeper who I believe
- 1:06:25was recently part of the trade last season at
- 1:06:27the deadline Casey Mettlestad You know a fresh
- 1:06:34head with a brand new brand new team Fresh head,
- 1:06:37you know fresh offseason a lot of time to rest
- 1:06:40and you know, but get to know this system. I'm
- 1:06:42saying can't forget about I still remember a
- 1:06:49few years ago when Ethan was laughing for 20
- 1:06:52minutes when he saw that name. Ivan, Ivan, Ivan.
- 1:06:55Like you cannot have a more fucking Russian name
- 1:06:58than that. I want to see you pronounce it. I
- 1:06:59want to guess it's probably like Ivan Ivan or
- 1:07:02something like that. But well the technical Russian
- 1:07:05pronunciation of Ivan is actually Vanya. Really?
- 1:07:10Yeah. Imagine if it's like Vanya Ivan. Yeah,
- 1:07:15it's just the three different fucking ways that
- 1:07:17you can say Ivan. It's like that, have you seen
- 1:07:19that family feed clip, the Obu Obu? That's what
- 1:07:23it reminds me of. Obu, can I guess what your
- 1:07:26middle name is? Obu. Casey Middlestad for Colorado.
- 1:07:33For Toronto? For the Toronto Avalanche? Toronto
- 1:07:36Avalanche. The Toronto St. Pat's, right? The
- 1:07:41Toronto St. Avalanche. I'm going to say... It's
- 1:07:52either going to be for me either Mika Rantanen
- 1:07:55or Devin Taves. Really? Okay. I'd say the one
- 1:08:03I have is the rookie. The former Osweill general,
- 1:08:09Kalen Ritchie. Yeah, I can see that. Kalen Ritchie.
- 1:08:14Yeah, my tanker. I think he's going to have a
- 1:08:23bad season this year as much as he gets to play
- 1:08:26Alexander Georgiev. Really? He's also my tanker.
- 1:08:31Yeah. Who's your sleeper for? My sleeper. I just
- 1:08:34had him, sorry. Nate Mack? I'm between Da 'Han
- 1:08:41and Logan O 'Connor. I almost said Logan O 'Connor.
- 1:08:48Believe it or not, for Colorado, I just said
- 1:08:51as a whole, just defense. For tanking. I mean,
- 1:08:56outside of Kel McCarr and maybe Sam Gerrard,
- 1:09:01they don't have a whole lot out of there. I mean,
- 1:09:03Devontae's... can be good at times. Josh Manson
- 1:09:05can be good at times, but I mean Sam Molenski,
- 1:09:10Noel Ben Fetty, Calvin DeHaan, Elver Clinton,
- 1:09:12John Ludwig, just they're young, they're not
- 1:09:15experienced. I think that's outside of Kyle McCarr
- 1:09:19and Sam Gerrard. I think they're going to start
- 1:09:22a little bit. That's actually why I said my tanker
- 1:09:25was going to be Devon Taveson. That's fair. Sleeper
- 1:09:35I'm saying Shawn Monahan he's gonna play his
- 1:09:37ass off for his buddy his buddy Johnny cuz from
- 1:09:40the fact that he's For me I'm gonna say it's
- 1:10:04I can't really narrow it down to just one. It's
- 1:10:07really tough Between probably either Adam Fantelli
- 1:10:12or Zach Warinski I would say I'd probably put
- 1:10:19Warinski over Fantelli in that Just I think he's
- 1:10:24been good in the past he he's shown signs of
- 1:10:30greatness For my sleeper I'm gonna put Jake Jones
- 1:10:41no Shawn. I am he kidding me Jack Johnson. Yeah
- 1:10:56For my tanker For my tanker I Don't know I mean
- 1:11:06your stereotypical would be I would be Jack Johnson
- 1:11:10and I know that it's gonna be you know, okay
- 1:11:12stereotyping it but I Don't know maybe maybe
- 1:11:16Kent Johnson or Boone Jenner. Sorry Boone Jenner
- 1:11:19is gonna be out for Quite a while because I just
- 1:11:23saw that he's gonna be out at least five to six
- 1:11:25months in the months really Yeah, when he say
- 1:11:28weeks and then it turned into five to six months
- 1:11:32for my tanker. I'm actually gonna say Jvr Yeah,
- 1:11:37I almost put him but I ended up doing with a
- 1:11:39Mars Lincolns. Oh Elvis I don't I think because
- 1:11:43I get Daniel Tarasoff who's pretty good for as
- 1:11:46young as he is and you look pretty good preseason
- 1:11:48at least the game I was at i think he might have
- 1:11:52that fear of i mean he might be the elephant
- 1:11:54he might play his ass off so he doesn't lose
- 1:11:55his position to daniel but um i think if in some
- 1:12:00ways i might let him get to him he might end
- 1:12:01up playing playing poorly to where he might end
- 1:12:03up getting benched be the backup to to daniel
- 1:12:06all right i got i am getting damn office sweeper
- 1:12:12really yeah hiding in the the shadows of rupee
- 1:12:17and johnson and Jason Robertson, you know, he
- 1:12:20probably wants to step it up and try and earn
- 1:12:22top six minutes or a valuable top six minutes.
- 1:12:24Johnson is actually who I had in my sleeper.
- 1:12:27I think I think Johnson is going to have. Why
- 1:12:29Johnson? Why Johnson? You know, I think he might
- 1:12:31have been he might even be like top two and maybe
- 1:12:33number one in scoring for that team. I think
- 1:12:35he might even outshine like group A and Jason
- 1:12:37Robertson. I think he's going to have the absolute
- 1:12:40why. See, I actually had a defenseman for this
- 1:12:45one. I had Mero Heisken. Yeah, I had him as my
- 1:12:50my sleeper and then my tanker Unfortunately Casey
- 1:12:56the Smith. Yeah, let's go see Matthew dumbasses
- 1:12:59my tanker Yeah, I said yeah, I said Jamie been
- 1:13:10Just his age is gonna catch up till he's getting
- 1:13:13old. He's like 35 36 now He's definitely not
- 1:13:17as good as he used to be. Maverick Bork, is that
- 1:13:23in relations to Ray? I have no idea. No clue.
- 1:13:27Just curious. I don't know if anybody knows.
- 1:13:29Moving on to Ethan's Detroit Red Wings. Ethan,
- 1:13:33will you take it off? Start off then. So many
- 1:13:38good choices. Fuck man, that's going to be tough.
- 1:13:55Imagine I fucking shit. No, I Said I thought
- 1:14:01sorry. He's only like 30 years old or 29 years
- 1:14:04old 1994 so he turned 20 in August on August
- 1:14:0822nd, so He just turned 30. In other words, he
- 1:14:11feels like he should be so much older. Because
- 1:14:14it feels like a century ago that he played football.
- 1:14:16I also kind of forgot he was the one tonight,
- 1:14:18too. The model was? Yeah. I just saw that. See,
- 1:14:21that's why I didn't like him. That's what the
- 1:14:23model was. I kind of forgot when I saw it recently.
- 1:14:26I knew there was something to model with him.
- 1:14:28I just said that, you dumbass. Wow, Joe Valino
- 1:14:31is way fucking younger than I thought he was.
- 1:14:33He's like 23, isn't he? Yeah. I'll see. My sleeper
- 1:14:37is dad Tarris Anko, man. Yeah, my sleeper actually
- 1:14:43is going to be Honestly, I might catch some fucking
- 1:14:55weird ass looks for this But I don't really care.
- 1:14:59I'm going to say it's going to be JD Culver I
- 1:15:05Mean honestly the trucks one of those like I
- 1:15:08think I don't see a lot of people having a bad
- 1:15:11year on this team. No. No. I honestly don't think
- 1:15:14that they might be a role answer. That's why
- 1:15:14I'm really struggling trying to be like, who
- 1:15:17is going to absolutely fucking bomb this season?
- 1:15:19I don't think that there's a wrong answer for
- 1:15:22soccer. No. I just put ADB and Lucas Raymond
- 1:15:25because I think both of them are going to have
- 1:15:27way better than people. People think, oh, they
- 1:15:29might have a good year, really, because Raymond's
- 1:15:30going to be a dog. No. Lucas Raymond's going
- 1:15:32to be a dog. And you know who? This is where
- 1:15:36I'm really going to get some shit. You know who
- 1:15:38I think my tanker is going to be? I think my
- 1:15:41tanker is going to be Patrick Kane. Do you think
- 1:15:43he'll at least have a good year here? I don't
- 1:15:45think so. I think his age is going to start showing.
- 1:15:48I mean, he was fairly injury -prone when he was
- 1:15:52with Chicago. So I'm just like, I'm happy. Don't
- 1:15:58get me wrong. I'm happy as fuck that we have
- 1:16:00him, but I don't think that he's going to live
- 1:16:05up to what he's being paid this year. I said
- 1:16:08for my sleeper I said Tyler Mott. Okay, yeah
- 1:16:13I could see that. There's so many choices. No,
- 1:16:16Mott's a solid choice actually. I don't think
- 1:16:19there's a wrong answer for a sleeper. Detroit
- 1:16:21was just probably like Buffalo, they were tough.
- 1:16:24But my tanker, I have Ollie Mott as my tanker.
- 1:16:29I have a fellow defense man as my tanker and
- 1:16:33Jeffrey Petrie. sales between Petri or Mata I'm
- 1:16:39actually gonna go with one of the people that
- 1:16:41has actually been highly ranked it's Simon Eddinson
- 1:16:44okay for your sleeper? my tanker oh your tanker
- 1:16:48I just I just don't think he's like kind of what
- 1:16:50you said with Patrick Kane I don't think he's
- 1:16:52given way up to the hype that he's been given
- 1:16:53but I play playing with like um Grand Rapids
- 1:16:58and I think I don't know if he's spent time in
- 1:16:59Toledo or not but From what I've seen I know
- 1:17:03he I think he's been caught up a couple different
- 1:17:05times had a couple small two three game since
- 1:17:08with Detroit and he just hasn't been nearly what
- 1:17:10they thought he was gonna be I know they actually
- 1:17:13have a solid full good team around him. Maybe
- 1:17:15that might change but I was just saying looking
- 1:17:18at the roster for this season with the Red Wings
- 1:17:21man, it's the most balanced they've looked as
- 1:17:25a team for again in probably the last 15 years.
- 1:17:30That's probably the better part of our lifetime.
- 1:17:33Oh, yeah. 15, uh... Push them 20 years. Since
- 1:17:39the Lindstrom Datsun, Zettelberg days. Like,
- 1:17:41this is a good fucking team. Moving on. The reigning
- 1:17:47Stanley Cup runner -ups, the Edmonton Oilers.
- 1:17:51I'd say for my sleeper, it's gonna be Jess Skinner.
- 1:17:53New team, you know, he finally has a team that
- 1:17:56knows how to make it to the playoffs. you know
- 1:17:58when he was with carolina that's back when they
- 1:18:00were bad and they didn't know how to make the
- 1:18:01playoffs send over to buffalo buffalo hasn't
- 1:18:04made the playoffs in what 14 years now i think
- 1:18:06now that he's actually on a good team a team
- 1:18:08that knows how to make the playoffs i think he's
- 1:18:10gonna have a baller year for me i said victor
- 1:18:13arbertson like obviously he's seen a brand new
- 1:18:16team as well like kind of from la and that i
- 1:18:20don't like seeing him north of the border i really
- 1:18:23don't that's fair Skinner or Arvidsson? Arvidsson.
- 1:18:28Arvidsson? I was going to say, I'm going with
- 1:18:32Matthias Yenmark as my potential sweeper. I figured
- 1:18:37you would have gone with Corey Perry. No, he's
- 1:18:39actually going to be my tanker. No, I think you
- 1:18:43got your things flipped in. No, I'm pretty confident
- 1:18:46in this game. Dude, I know you have a Corey Perry
- 1:18:50jersey on the way here right now. No. It's hiding,
- 1:18:53it's actually... Go ahead and look for it at
- 1:18:56home. It's either in the closet or in the mansion.
- 1:18:58What is it? Is London Night's Jersey? Oh, it'd
- 1:19:00be even better. Least favorite player, least
- 1:19:03favorite team. I was going to say, I'm pretty
- 1:19:06confident that I'm confident this is my house,
- 1:19:09so... Thank you, sir. Obviously not too confident.
- 1:19:14What did you have for your sleeper from the tip?
- 1:19:17My sleeper... Looking at him, uh... Honestly,
- 1:19:28for my sleeper, I'm gonna say Toy Stature. Really?
- 1:19:33Okay, that's definitely a different one. Yeah,
- 1:19:35it's a different one, but I think he's gonna
- 1:19:37use it. Jeff, what'd you say? Um, I had Darn
- 1:19:40Elle Nurse as... Your sleeper? Okay. I mean,
- 1:19:42not sleeper, I meant Victor Arvidson. Arvidson
- 1:19:45was my nurse. Darn Elle Nurse was, like, tanker.
- 1:19:48I also have Matthias for a tanker, but I have
- 1:19:50Matthias Echol. I just know how much you love
- 1:20:05him Colin He loves him so much he had to go into
- 1:20:13the other room to express his love Florida Panthers
- 1:20:16sleeper I said I think he's gonna have a pretty
- 1:20:22good year this year. Looks really good in game
- 1:20:26one against Boston. Main reason I'm basing it
- 1:20:29on him, he's having a really solid start to the
- 1:20:31season. I'm hoping he can keep that up. You know,
- 1:20:36handling injuries, I don't wish that on anybody,
- 1:20:38but I can very easily see him possibly jumping
- 1:20:40up to as high as the second line over there.
- 1:20:44Yeah, I can see him. I think he's gonna have
- 1:20:46a good year. That's actually, I was between him
- 1:20:48or Carter Verheggie is mine. Carter Verheggie
- 1:20:52is mine. But I ended up with Rodriguez and then
- 1:20:57Verheggie was my honorable. And my tanker honestly
- 1:21:04is Aaron Echola. I said Dmitry Kulikov. I actually
- 1:21:12went with the Captain Sasha Barkov. Okay, my
- 1:21:16sleeper is Nate Schmitty boy. My tanker is gonna
- 1:21:22be Samuel Reinhardt. Yeah, hot take. After last
- 1:21:27year, you think he's gonna be here? Yeah, he's
- 1:21:30gonna nosedive. Hot take, I know. That's for
- 1:21:34that massive contract too, can you imagine that?
- 1:21:37Oh my god. LA, sleepers I have... My sleepers
- 1:22:07are actually the goal tenders in Kemper and Riddick
- 1:22:11Kemper's gonna come back to Santa Cup form like
- 1:22:14he did in 2022 with Colorado and Reddick's finally
- 1:22:18gonna step it up here. Kemper's another one I
- 1:22:20forgot. Big save Dave. I mean Kemper's 34 and
- 1:22:25Reddick's 32. So I mean granted they're older.
- 1:22:29Kemper's 34? Yeah. Damn. Kemper May 5th 1990.
- 1:22:34Damn. For me my sleeper is Quentin Byfield. That
- 1:22:48was probably the toughest one. Even with how
- 1:22:53old they are, they have a lot of older guys.
- 1:22:57It's tougher to choose a tanker for this team.
- 1:23:09That one's kind of hard as I really don't know
- 1:23:11I think for me my sleeper believe I might catch
- 1:23:15some weird shit for this but Philip to know Yeah
- 1:23:20I think Philip to know is gonna be a massive
- 1:23:24sleeper for LA this year and then the tanker
- 1:23:29Tanking I was tied between Either Honestly, I'm
- 1:23:42gonna just come straight out and say either Tanner
- 1:23:44Janelle or Kevin Viola Really? Yeah. Viola is
- 1:23:48one of my two. You're tankers? Yeah, one of my
- 1:23:51two tankers. The two F's. Viola and Warren Fogel.
- 1:23:56Wow. Another former Otter. Yep. I forgot he went
- 1:24:00to LA. I was looking through the roster as well.
- 1:24:02I was like, what the fuck did he go to LA? Tanker.
- 1:24:05I said Vlad Gavrikov. He's just one of the younger
- 1:24:08guys on the team newer to him. I think he only
- 1:24:11played one thing like half the season last year
- 1:24:13So I think he came over in the the quick trade
- 1:24:16didn't he? I think he came over from Columbus
- 1:24:20in the quick trade Which you know quick quick
- 1:24:23amount of time in Columbus. Yeah, Jersey retirement
- 1:24:26coming soon Hey, what are you talking about?
- 1:24:28Johnson quick is a Columbus legend Columbus Blue
- 1:24:30Jackets a legend Okay, coming soon. Nobody remembers
- 1:24:34how good he was Did he never lace up for them?
- 1:24:37He was with them for like two days. That's right.
- 1:24:42Nationwide was salty and past. Minnesota, right?
- 1:24:49Minnesota. Minnesota. My sleeper, I have a Brock
- 1:24:51favor on the fence. I got Matt Zucarola. Thanks.
- 1:24:56He's gonna step it up. He's getting up there
- 1:24:58too. He's just a little bit younger than Sid.
- 1:25:00September 1st of 87. I said Matt Bode. I can
- 1:25:09see that too. Yeah. Bold choice. Honestly, for
- 1:25:25a breakout year, I'm gonna say somebody like
- 1:25:37Joel Ericksonack. Is it sleeper? Yeah, that was
- 1:25:41my sleeper. He's getting better and better as
- 1:25:43the years go on. And then there's Mike Tanker.
- 1:25:47Again, depending on how much he plays. Somebody
- 1:25:54like Philip Gustafson. That's actually exactly
- 1:25:55what I said. Mine was only for in hopes that
- 1:25:59Florrie can see more playing time. That's the
- 1:26:00only reason I put that. For my tanker, another
- 1:26:10player who doesn't want to be in his current
- 1:26:11system in his current franchise, Kirill Deprizov.
- 1:26:17You can tell just with his attitude, his mindset,
- 1:26:20he does not want to be in Minnesota. Montreal,
- 1:26:30my sleeper. Cole Caulfield. He's never really
- 1:26:34really shined and shown 100 % what he's came
- 1:26:38for. This year he's really good. He's looking
- 1:26:40really good this year and I think rocking that
- 1:26:42number 13 in honor of Johnny, he's gonna put
- 1:26:45on the best damn show he possibly can. Wear that
- 1:26:48number with pride and do a good job doing it
- 1:26:50too. And try to make Johnny proud. I actually
- 1:26:55picked somebody who's only 19 days younger than
- 1:26:58Caulfield and that's Kirby Dock. Doc. Is that
- 1:27:01young? Caulfield was born January 2nd of 01 and
- 1:27:07Doc was January 21st of old. Really? I didn't
- 1:27:11know Doc was that young. They're both very freak.
- 1:27:13I thought Doc was a little bit closer to my age,
- 1:27:15maybe like a year older, like closer to you guys,
- 1:27:16but wow, I thought he was, I didn't know he was
- 1:27:18that young. For my sleeper this season, and I
- 1:27:23think, I know I'm personally gonna try and watch
- 1:27:26him a little bit more and pay a little bit more
- 1:27:28attention to that. them is the main between the
- 1:27:30pipes and same mountain bow yeah he had a damn
- 1:27:33good first game yeah i would say i think mountain
- 1:27:36bow is going to be a massive sleeper and the
- 1:27:40tankers it's a tie between arbor jackeye and
- 1:27:45uh your eye slakovsky really i almost put slakovsky
- 1:27:49for my tanker yeah i got gallacher as my tanker
- 1:27:54He's just getting worse and worse as the years
- 1:27:55go on. Slavkovsky's a lot younger than I thought.
- 1:28:00He's 22. He's 20. March 30th, 2004. His first
- 1:28:08overall was the 22. Do you remember the 23 draft?
- 1:28:11No, 21, sorry. The one that Shane Wright was
- 1:28:17supposed to go first overall, but he ended up
- 1:28:19going like 5th. I thought that was 22. All right,
- 1:28:22I moved us 23 was bedard obviously 24 is Macklin
- 1:28:26think garage women first point to the 21 might
- 1:28:29have been power 22 He's baby I said for my tanker
- 1:28:42it was Josh Anderson, okay, I actually saying
- 1:28:46the captain Really? I think that's another situation
- 1:28:51where he doesn't play as like he's happy there.
- 1:28:54I mean he had a decent year last year. But I
- 1:28:56mean he's in Montreal. I wouldn't be happy. I
- 1:28:58was going to say I wouldn't be fucking happy.
- 1:29:02I think he's going to have an off year at least.
- 1:29:05I think Cole Colfield is going to play well enough
- 1:29:07to where he might not be looked at as how he
- 1:29:10should. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
- 1:29:17wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
- 1:29:19wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

- 1:29:30wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
- 1:29:39wait, Oh, he's gonna be Vesna Calvert for sure.
- 1:29:41Oh, 100%. Absolutely monstrous. He's younger
- 1:29:48than I thought he was. Sorcery, 30? Uh, no. He's
- 1:29:52three years older than me. So, yeah, 28, 29.
- 1:29:58Damn. Yeah, that's actually who I also was gonna
- 1:30:02say used to say Soros. I was also between Brady,
- 1:30:06um, Sky, pretty much. yeah pretty shade but used
- 1:30:11to start with my number one for uh for my tanker
- 1:30:17stamp goes yeah being so used to that tampa bay
- 1:30:23system for what 13 14 years now i think he's
- 1:30:27gonna struggle to try to find his groove in this
- 1:30:30and this is off right now i have the same one
- 1:30:32but in late the same player but in late which
- 1:30:34one is that pk Yeah, I was gonna say my sleeper
- 1:30:39is this man right? Wait, I'll start on one Roger
- 1:30:41Lee It's gonna be this man right here. That's
- 1:30:46what I said. Yeah, it's unfortunately. It's gonna
- 1:30:48be stem coast Just the fact that he said he's
- 1:30:50gonna be your sleeper. I see Well, you guys are
- 1:30:58sad I think just because he's so used to that
- 1:31:02Tampa Bay system. I think he's just it's gonna
- 1:31:05take him a while Honestly, my tankers are a braid
- 1:31:07of shade. He said his is the sleeper. My sleeper
- 1:31:13is actually going to be John Marchesot. I can
- 1:31:17see him doing well there, yeah. I think John
- 1:31:19Marchesot. He's one of their big, where they
- 1:31:21just fucking went off in a matter of like an
- 1:31:23hour. Because what, Shay, Marchesot, and Stancoz
- 1:31:25are basically all in a matter of like an hour?
- 1:31:27Yeah. Like the first, within like the first three
- 1:31:29hours of free agency open, like, natural chill.
- 1:31:35I would say it's probably going to be a tie between
- 1:31:39the Jews and what's -his -nots Montresel as my
- 1:31:47sleepers. Not to be confused with the old Jersey,
- 1:31:51but the New Jersey. The sleeper. I'm a little
- 1:31:53Jesper brat. He's been quietly decent the past
- 1:31:59couple seasons, but I think this is going to
- 1:32:00be a good year where he can really go off. Which
- 1:32:05for him going off might be probably a 70 70 point
- 1:32:08season But I think he can probably I think he
- 1:32:11might be able to reach point per game I said
- 1:32:13since he's joined his new team. I said Jacob
- 1:32:16Mark strong in that Really? That's that's fair
- 1:32:21Holy fuck Dougie Hamilton's got a neck on him
- 1:32:28No, that motherfuckers got 18 inches in that
- 1:32:30between Dougie and Jonathan I don't even know
- 1:32:36how to pronounce his name, but There are two
- 1:32:41necks alone are probably as tall as Burke Dude,
- 1:32:44he looks like Theo Vaughn fucking impersonating
- 1:32:47a giraffe Yeah, my two speakers are either Dawson
- 1:32:54Mercer Tomas Dittar It's on it's almost like
- 1:33:01somebody say Tata except no they can't pronounce
- 1:33:04the D. So they say teens Honestly, my two sleepers
- 1:33:08are either gonna be Eric Holla or under a lot.
- 1:33:14Okay tanker Brendan Dillon that fucking bum.
- 1:33:18I'm so disappointed back in the division There's
- 1:33:26so many words that I can't say on the air, so
- 1:33:28I'm going to have to wait until posture. My tanker
- 1:33:30I'm actually going to say is... Honestly, I'm
- 1:33:37going to get some shit for this. Jackie Hughes.
- 1:33:39Yeah, that's... That's another hot take out of
- 1:33:43your boy Ethan. I said my tanker was actually
- 1:33:45Nico Hescher. I can see that one more than Hughes.
- 1:33:49Jackie is a monster. He's going to go off. He's
- 1:33:53also fucking young. tanker i said i just know
- 1:33:56when i said goaltending as a whole i i think
- 1:33:59cool i think new jersey is pretty weak when it
- 1:34:01comes to gold jake allen and jacob markstrom
- 1:34:03new yorkship is is okay i mean he he didn't do
- 1:34:07well his last two years in calgary um calgary
- 1:34:10is the home new jersey has shown signs of being
- 1:34:12good obviously they made the playoffs one two
- 1:34:14years ago dude he's a big motherfucker yeah he's
- 1:34:16a big boy he's a 65 66 207 Going to the Long
- 1:34:24Island, the short island. The most boring team
- 1:34:26of all of NHL. Who, the Isles? Yeah. They're
- 1:34:30so bland. I'm sorry, I don't, outside of the
- 1:34:34JG, Pajo, and maybe Casey Sezekas, I don't see
- 1:34:39anybody on this team doing exceptionally well.
- 1:34:42You have Sezekas doing well over anybody else?
- 1:34:44Yeah, surprise, surprise. Really? Is that so
- 1:34:46like your sleepers? Not really. I mean, Zekas
- 1:34:49is going to do Zekas things. I mean, I know you
- 1:34:52also have players on there. Bo Horvat, Anders
- 1:34:54V. Bo Horvat is who I have as my sleeper. I think
- 1:34:57Bo Horvat is going to have his New York Islander
- 1:35:00breakout season. I just think he might start
- 1:35:03being as good as he was up in Vancouver. And
- 1:35:06then you obviously have players that you don't
- 1:35:08even surrogate can do in surrogate things, which
- 1:35:09you expect good things out of him. He's arguably...
- 1:35:17one of the two best goaltenders in all the state
- 1:35:19of New York. Looking at all the great goaltenders
- 1:35:25there are in NHL right now, I think he's probably
- 1:35:27one of the more underrated ones is Sorokin. My
- 1:35:33sleeper, and I think it's just because I like
- 1:35:37the dude, is Anders Lee. From the Bluecoats.
- 1:36:10Sleeper pick. I think this guy's gonna have the
- 1:36:13best year. He since being drafted is capo -caco
- 1:36:16I think this is gonna be a year where he actually
- 1:36:18where he goes off and actually plays to his second
- 1:36:23overall potential See I was gonna go with Alex
- 1:36:27Alexia. I would say But again, he's also done
- 1:36:40always good stuff or he's been good for the bluecoats.
- 1:36:44It's gonna be a tie between Mika's advantage
- 1:36:47and and Honestly, Vinny trochek Yeah for my sleepers
- 1:36:54and then for my tankers Again, it's probably
- 1:37:01gonna be a tie between either Jacob Truba or
- 1:37:04Chad Ruedel If defenseman if he's lucky, so I
- 1:37:10said Riley Smith True by Jacob true by Tinker
- 1:37:14I actually said Savannah Jeff my tanker really
- 1:37:18I think more of a reason because I've never really
- 1:37:20liked the guy I've never been a big Savannah
- 1:37:22Jeff fan He was okay up in audible, but ever
- 1:37:25since he never cared for I've never been I never
- 1:37:29knew that I don't he's not I won't he will probably
- 1:37:32be like my top 10 most hated but I've just I've
- 1:37:34never I've never loved I've never hated him,
- 1:37:36but I've never like you've been neutral on i've
- 1:37:38just i've never been a huge fan also did you
- 1:37:40know that vinnie trochek is a pittsburgh native
- 1:37:42yeah i did not know that i just saw like there
- 1:37:45was like the other day they did and lafferty
- 1:37:47gibson trochek i think there's one or two others
- 1:37:51that are from the pittsburgh area like it was
- 1:37:53that isn't john gibson yeah really gibson's pittsburgh
- 1:37:56yeah no shit sam lafferty's from uh chippensville
- 1:38:00which is right outside of yeah i know where chippensville
- 1:38:02is like yeah because no Oh check in Crosby did
- 1:38:07a For to celebrate the home on the opening night.
- 1:38:11They did like who knows Pittsburgh more Crosby
- 1:38:15or Trosha That actually was funny. I was like,
- 1:38:19come on Alright move on to the Ottawa Senators
- 1:38:24Senators my sleeper is Shane Pinto I Think Pinto
- 1:38:29Pinto beans gonna have a good season. That's
- 1:38:32the safe bets. I mean If you are betting man,
- 1:38:35then... I forgot he was... 41 games. Half the
- 1:38:39season. I mean, that's a better judgment call.
- 1:38:45I bet he's gonna have a good season. How much
- 1:38:48do we have to put on that? 41 games! 41 games!
- 1:38:5541 games! Honestly, I think my tanker as much
- 1:39:29as I love them as a goalie Well, it's gonna be
- 1:39:37kind of a stammer situation where he's just he
- 1:39:40got so used to playing with the Boston system
- 1:39:43that now he's having to adjust to a completely
- 1:39:45new team. Did you know he started in Buffalo?
- 1:39:47Yeah. Oh marked it. Oh marked it. Oh marked it.
- 1:39:49Oh marked it. Oh marked it. Oh marked it. Oh
- 1:39:51marked it. Oh marked it. Oh marked it. Oh marked
- 1:39:55it. Oh marked it. Oh marked it. He oh mark paid
- 1:40:03with the Sabres from 2015 until 2021 Wow Really?
- 1:40:10Yeah, I'm trying to do the math here. I was just
- 1:40:13very one hand number of games Yeah, 21 5 37 34
- 1:40:2720 The most wins he's gotten this season is the
- 1:40:301920 season and 34 games played 17 wins 14 losses
- 1:40:34Next goes 18 19 with 37 games. He has 15 wins
- 1:40:3914 losses Over to Boston but on my tanker is
- 1:41:01going to be Claude Giroux. My sleeper is going
- 1:41:05to be Peron. My tanker, you betcha. No, I gotta
- 1:41:14agree with Ethan here. Mine is all marks when
- 1:41:15we tank him. Which it sucks because I love him
- 1:41:19as a goalie. I do too. I honestly do too. As
- 1:41:23far as active goalies go, he's top five for me,
- 1:41:26easy. Like, he was the one good thing in Boston
- 1:41:31when he was with Boston. Well, that's hanging
- 1:41:35between him and Swamin in Boston. That tandem
- 1:41:38was perfect. I'm going to miss those goalie odds
- 1:41:41between those two. Yeah, that was like one that
- 1:41:43I did like though in Boston. Given the fact that
- 1:41:47Swamin just recently signed his new contract.
- 1:41:56Swim inside his new fucking what was it like
- 1:41:58an eight -year deal with Boston? What would you
- 1:42:03do if in the time that he was Still in free agency
- 1:42:09if you got the notification that Detroit scooped
- 1:42:13them I want to throw something at you right now.
- 1:42:19I was gonna hit the window behind you up it try
- 1:42:22it you could certainly try moving on to The Philadelphia
- 1:42:27Flyers. They're all tanking. They're all tanking.
- 1:42:30No. Breakout's gonna be Jamie. I got Joel Farabee.
- 1:42:36He's always been Disa, but he's never, again,
- 1:42:39had room to shine as a number one guy. I think
- 1:42:41he could do that. A tanker I have, Shank Terrier.
- 1:42:46Just his age is, I think he's catching up to
- 1:42:48him. I think we saw a lot of that last season.
- 1:42:51I just don't think he's gonna do well. For me,
- 1:42:57my... Fuck, man. My... My two fucking sleepers
- 1:43:08are either going to be Garnet Hathaway or Owen
- 1:43:10Tippett. I can see both of those, yeah. And I
- 1:43:14would have to agree with Kyle that as my tanker,
- 1:43:17it's going to be Sean Couturier. I actually said...
- 1:43:20said Owen Tippett was gonna be my sleeper and
- 1:43:23then I actually had Ramsey's Rooster and Linen
- 1:43:25as my... He's a fucking fucker isn't he? My tanker.
- 1:43:31Rooster and Linen? Yeah. He's a goofy little
- 1:43:33son of a bitch. Um, I gotta agree with you. I
- 1:43:36probably said that already. Yeah, Kateria was
- 1:43:39my second choice for tanking. Pittsburgh! The
- 1:43:43Pittsburgh retirement home. Sleepers, I'll pull
- 1:43:45your army. I'm sorry. I thought about putting
- 1:43:48him, but I went the guy I mentioned earlier who
- 1:43:50I'm more than thrilled to see is Rucker McGurrty.
- 1:43:53I don't think he's gonna have like a colder season,
- 1:43:56but I think he's there might be a point where
- 1:43:59he might be in the discussion, but I don't think
- 1:44:00he's gonna be quite that good, but he's gonna
- 1:44:03be debated with one of the better younger one
- 1:44:05of the better rookies. There's two that I for
- 1:44:08my sleepers from Pittsburgh. That's obviously
- 1:44:11Rucker McGurrty as well. I think the problem
- 1:44:23was I think they maybe threw him in and started
- 1:44:25him a little too soon I think maybe they should
- 1:44:27have waited till this season to actually start
- 1:44:30him Well, you got to remember all the injuries
- 1:44:33and surgeries he dealt with that season so he
- 1:44:35really couldn't find this groove. I think they
- 1:44:38started and threw him into the mix a little too
- 1:44:40soon. I think maybe they should have waited until
- 1:44:42this season to throw him in. Yeah, I can see
- 1:44:45him having a baller year. There's actually a
- 1:44:47couple guys. I'm going to have several guns held
- 1:44:52in my head during this one. I don't really give
- 1:44:54a shit. I mean the tanker for obvious reasons
- 1:44:57is first Adjari. I am sorry, but he is a garbage
- 1:45:02goaltender. He's one of three. I'm sorry. He's
- 1:45:05one of three. For my sleepers, one of them is
- 1:45:14very near and dear to my heart. Mr. fucking EK65
- 1:45:17himself. Wow. You said a sleeper compared to
- 1:45:21a last one. Or this is where I might have a gun
- 1:45:25held to my head a little bit. Matt Nieto. I don't
- 1:45:32think he's going to get enough playing time.
- 1:45:34I don't think he's played yet. I don't think
- 1:45:35he's played any one of the three games so far.
- 1:45:37No, considering I think he's a minor still. I
- 1:45:40think he might still be a minor. Even when he
- 1:45:42comes back, he's going to be 13th forward. I
- 1:45:45would say either Matinieto or Raquel. Okay, that's
- 1:45:50where we're going to have shit. I could see Raquel
- 1:45:53too. Raquel is showing signs of greatness. He
- 1:45:55was showing signs of greatness in preseason too.
- 1:45:57You may be bigger than me, but just remember,
- 1:45:59the bigger they are, the harder they fall, motherfucker.
- 1:46:02Okay? Cool. Tanker, I'm going with Marcus Patterson.
- 1:46:07Unfortunately. I'm another one of my three. He
- 1:46:09did not look that too good last year, and he's
- 1:46:12already off to a pretty rough start this year.
- 1:46:15My three are Jari, Patterson, and fucking Ryan
- 1:46:19Graves himself. Ryan Graves, yeah. I said my
- 1:46:21three are... Jari was... I'll just name the two,
- 1:46:28Jari and LaTangre. I don't think Tanger is ever
- 1:46:33going to be like that bad. He's never going to
- 1:46:36be as good as he was at one point. I can also
- 1:46:40for some reason see Jari being a sleeper. I don't
- 1:46:42necessarily see him being a tanker because from
- 1:46:45the two games we've seen for him, Bloomquist
- 1:46:47is probably making him shit his pants. He's probably
- 1:46:49starting to shit his pants. With Ned coming back.
- 1:46:54Ned's coming back like Jari might. end up getting
- 1:46:57fucking cut. How's he getting the boot? He's
- 1:46:59probably shitting his pants out. Now here's my
- 1:47:02question. Who do you think would be dumb enough
- 1:47:05to pick up Jarry if he were to get fucking the
- 1:47:10boot from the black and gold? I say if all people
- 1:47:14it's going to be Philly it's going to be dumb
- 1:47:16enough. They lost their number one gold tender
- 1:47:18to a stupid instant master in Carter Hart. I'm
- 1:47:21sorry like they don't have a true number one
- 1:47:24gold tender out there. Are you able to see him
- 1:47:26going somewhere like, um... Detroit? Ironically,
- 1:47:32like once he leaves just because they won't have
- 1:47:34him back other than him, Minnesota. He'll replace
- 1:47:38Flory when Flory leaves at the end of the season.
- 1:47:43Yeah, that's fair. Alright. The San Jose Sharks.
- 1:47:48San Josie. Uh, I'm sorry, Sol Breena is gonna...
- 1:47:54Hey, it's gonna happen. I still work here here.
- 1:47:57So I need Once he's back Yeah, like Injury or
- 1:48:08not like when he's playing when he's healthy,
- 1:48:11I mean, I assume all these prayers once they
- 1:48:13get healthy They're gonna either be fucking fantastic.
- 1:48:16Are there gonna be dog water? Yeah Celebrating
- 1:48:24was probably was my breakout even though I'm
- 1:48:26actually gonna say tower to Foley. He's my second
- 1:48:29choice honestly because He hasn't really been
- 1:48:43healthy enough to I mean looking at last year
- 1:48:47the 23 24 season he played in six games and he
- 1:48:53one assist that's it i think for me personally
- 1:48:58like my sleeper is going to be him again man
- 1:49:01between the pipes and mckenzie blackwood about
- 1:49:05that i was actually my tanker was i just as a
- 1:49:08whole i said goaltending again gold i think mckenzie
- 1:49:11blackwood who's their back who's there yeah neither
- 1:49:15one of those guys i think are have the potential
- 1:49:18to be the number one true star my tanker It's
- 1:49:23probably gonna be somebody like Cody CC. I can
- 1:49:26see that, yeah. I was gonna say the rest of the
- 1:49:28Charts are gonna be a tanker. The whole team.
- 1:49:30The whole team. You're not wrong. But in all
- 1:49:35fairness, they really haven't been good since
- 1:49:37EK left. It hasn't been one year, but yeah. Right,
- 1:49:40they haven't been good that year. They haven't
- 1:49:43been good since he joined the team. He was the
- 1:49:46best player on that team. That's not saying did
- 1:49:49he win both of his coders with them or both his
- 1:49:51nurses with them or he wouldn't one with what
- 1:49:53one with thought I want one sounds a Moving on
- 1:49:56to the newest team technically second to his
- 1:50:00team now, I guess the Seattle Kraken. Let's see.
- 1:50:02I'll crack it on my sleeper I got the guy who
- 1:50:04the gold guy between the pipes for this one,
- 1:50:06but I just signed the big contract and Joey the
- 1:50:07court I Think he's gonna have the killer year.
- 1:50:12He was he shown signs of greatness last year.
- 1:50:14He had a couple You know, a little bit of a fall
- 1:50:16of things like mid -season, but I think he's
- 1:50:19going to have a really good year. My sleeper?
- 1:50:23Oh, Brandon Tanev. Brandon Tanev. I said my sleeper
- 1:50:27is Shane Wright. Shane Wright? Oh, fuck. My two
- 1:50:35sleepers, and I was torn between the two of them,
- 1:50:38either Yanni Gord or Andre Berkovski. OK. And
- 1:50:43then tanker. I'm going to give a little bit of
- 1:50:52a hot take here, and I don't really care. I'm
- 1:50:54going to say Jamie Aleksiak. That's not too much
- 1:50:57of a hot take honestly. I think I'm going to
- 1:50:59have a bigger hot take. Oh, Matty Benegers? Sophomore
- 1:51:04slump. You think? He's going to hit a sophomore
- 1:51:07slump, and he's going to really fucking tank
- 1:51:09it. I actually have. Who, I think Jeffy said,
- 1:51:13Shane Ray. I think it's my tank here. Really?
- 1:51:15Um, he's just, he has yet to live up to the potential
- 1:51:17that he had, all the hype he had coming out of
- 1:51:19the O. He just has yet to... And he's enough,
- 1:51:22but you also gotta remember, he's another one
- 1:51:23that's young. He's only 20. Yeah, he's young.
- 1:51:26I'd say he spent a lot of time with Coachella
- 1:51:28last year and the year before. Yeah, but I still,
- 1:51:31that might be the reason I might still think
- 1:51:33he might not quite be ready yet for the NHL level.
- 1:51:36Um, but hey, put me around, Shane, go for it.
- 1:51:49My sleeper I I know we all hate this fucking
- 1:51:55brother mr. Jordan young upcoming talent a lot
- 1:52:09of good guys in the roster um too bad they just
- 1:52:13can't put it all together and have a good season
- 1:52:14i know the past couple years they've kind of
- 1:52:16sucked ass um this guy is one he has had really
- 1:52:19good season in the past but i think he's it's
- 1:52:21i think he's going to just get better and better
- 1:52:24from here is robert thomas yeah um honestly i
- 1:52:31think for me my breakout Like my sleeper are
- 1:52:39actually both ironically defensemen. Yeah, and
- 1:52:43either Nick Letty or Pio Joseph Okay, I said
- 1:52:49I actually will agree with Kyle for my my sleepers
- 1:52:54Robert Thomas and obviously the Tanker is gonna
- 1:53:00be the ghosts himself Casper Honestly, for me,
- 1:53:07my sleeper, I'm going to pull a guy over here
- 1:53:09and just say goaltending. I don't like Jordan
- 1:53:13Bennington. He's a baby back bitch. He's such
- 1:53:16a punk. He's such a pest. It'd be different if
- 1:53:20he was good. There's tons, he gives up five goals
- 1:53:24on 20 shots and he goes and taunts the bench
- 1:53:26and tries to pick a fight with Flurry. Like,
- 1:53:28technically Flurry went over to beat the shit
- 1:53:29out of him, but the rest wouldn't let him. I'm
- 1:53:31still pissed about that. If we're gonna talk
- 1:53:33the talk, walk the walk. To this day I'm so pissed
- 1:53:36off that they brought this eventually. I really
- 1:53:38wanted to see Flurry. That was gonna be one of
- 1:53:39the best goalie fights of all time. I wanted
- 1:53:41to see Flurry give him the one -two -fuck -off
- 1:53:43combo. Like, I'm sorry, if you're somebody like
- 1:53:46Sidney Crosby, even, I know he doesn't go out
- 1:53:48and talk shit, but like, he has a reason to go
- 1:53:51out and talk shit. I mean, the main was one of
- 1:53:53the faces of the fucking league and he has been
- 1:53:56for the last decade. More than that. Like, I'm
- 1:53:59sorry, you're one of the two franchises that
- 1:54:01walked us out of the last full season lockout.
- 1:54:04Between him and Ovia. Like, I'm sorry. Like,
- 1:54:07you can talk shit. You've proved it. You can
- 1:54:10talk shit. Go off, King, but... I'm sorry. Excuse
- 1:54:13me, my tanker out of St. Louis is gonna be another
- 1:54:16defenseman in Colton Perego. Okay, yeah. I think
- 1:54:19he has just these... He's been declining. He
- 1:54:21had a couple of good years, but he just hasn't
- 1:54:24really been that goodness as of late. I think
- 1:54:26this year's might be one of his worst years.
- 1:54:29Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm gonna keep talking shit
- 1:54:31with the baby back bitch himself. Any fans outside
- 1:54:36of St. Louis who likes Jordan Bennington? I thought
- 1:54:38to be honest. Probably nobody. Does even St.
- 1:54:42Louis like Bennington? Probably not. He fucking
- 1:54:47sucks. He's not... Again, it'd be different if
- 1:54:49he was good. If he was an actually good goaltender.
- 1:54:52I remember specifically that one time against
- 1:54:54Pittsburgh, he went after Jason Zucker in the
- 1:54:56one game. And it's just when Jason Zucker went
- 1:54:58on to score a goal, literally like a couple minutes
- 1:55:00later, and then he got yanked, and he's going
- 1:55:02over and he starts chirping Zucker. And then
- 1:55:03I love Zucker. He's just kind of strong. You
- 1:55:06gave him four goals in 25 minutes of game play,
- 1:55:09and he was talking shit still. And he got fucking
- 1:55:11polled. You know the only time the bend of the
- 1:55:14hand could talk shit? It was the year they won
- 1:55:17the cup. It was his rookie season. Went off,
- 1:55:19yeah. Yeah, okay, that ain't fine. Talk your
- 1:55:21shit, bud. Since then... Even then, I thought
- 1:55:23he seemed like a funny guy, but now he's just...
- 1:55:26He's an arrogant bitch, like... He's a baby back,
- 1:55:31baby back, baby back. He is a baby back... Baby
- 1:55:35back bitch. Hey, Jordan Bennington, if you ever
- 1:55:38listen to... I think I could speak from all of
- 1:55:42us here at BPS. Fuck yourself sideways Seven
- 1:55:47ways from Sunday. Is that the other you're the
- 1:55:49same six ways from something? Going on to the
- 1:55:53Tampa Bay lightning call me bias here with the
- 1:55:57former area I'm between two DQ I'm gonna say
- 1:56:04let me honor you. It's either gonna be either
- 1:56:07Eric Chernak or so really So really is one and
- 1:56:10then the other one was Nick Paul That's actually
- 1:56:15surprising. But I honestly give it to Cirelli
- 1:56:19first, but Nick Paul was my second choice. Because
- 1:56:23I was saying, we know point in Kujama. You guys
- 1:56:26can't forget about Zemgus Gergensen. He's actually
- 1:56:29my sleeper. I'm an honest sleeper. My tanker.
- 1:56:34For me, my sleeper. And I'm going to let my full
- 1:56:37bias show because he's a former Red Wing Luke
- 1:56:39Glendening. Your sleeper? Yeah, he's going to
- 1:56:43be my sleeper. My tanker. Honestly, my tanker
- 1:56:52is probably going to be like Ryan McDonough.
- 1:56:58I can see that. I'm actually going to say Brandon
- 1:57:01Bolling for my tanker. Really? I think it's going
- 1:57:05to be similar with, he's going to be missing
- 1:57:06his buddy Stancoast up there on the first line.
- 1:57:09It might take him some time to get used to that
- 1:57:10new first line center mate. Well remember, Stammer
- 1:57:15was playing on the wing these past couple seasons.
- 1:57:18Oh yeah, well regardless, he's going to be missing
- 1:57:20his and his lineman, Brady Pond's going to be
- 1:57:21missing his lineman there with Stammer, so. Yeah,
- 1:57:25I think he might struggle to start off, but we'll
- 1:57:29see, we'll see. Prove me wrong, again, another
- 1:57:31one I hope he proves me wrong. I like Brady Pond,
- 1:57:33I do, I just, I think he might struggle without
- 1:57:35his buddy up there. Yeah, that's fair. Alright,
- 1:57:39next up. Toronto. Oh, I still gotta do my tanker.
- 1:57:52This one was another one, it was tough. For me,
- 1:57:58I said Victor Edmond, now being the new Rayleigh.
- 1:58:04Whoa, that's bold. It's a bold one. That's a
- 1:58:08boiling hot tank right there. Just think I thought
- 1:58:12mine was a hot take that's a boiling. Yeah Like
- 1:58:16now being the new captain like just seeing how
- 1:58:19he can Yeah Move on to the maple laughs my sleeper
- 1:58:27I got Matthew nice Easy young another young dude.
- 1:58:31I think he's only also like 22 23 years old.
- 1:58:33I think he's gonna have a monster year. I Think
- 1:58:37he's gonna he's gonna go off That's fair. Joseph
- 1:58:42Waller. Brick Waller. Really? That's... Okay.
- 1:58:51For myself, my sleeper, I'm tied between, I'm
- 1:58:57really struggling between either OEL or Willie
- 1:59:01Neelanger. Yep. And then Tanker. Honestly, tanker,
- 1:59:18I'm gonna say either... Honestly, either Reeves
- 1:59:24or Dhoni. My tanker is Johnny Boizia. Tiberius.
- 1:59:31I thought I was gonna get shipped that. I was
- 1:59:34debating. I think just getting the seed taken
- 1:59:35away from him, I think that's gonna affect his
- 1:59:38playstyle a little bit. It might shake him up
- 1:59:39a little bit. It caused him to not perform at
- 1:59:43least up to his standards. like what you would
- 1:59:46expect out of him i'm not saying he's gonna have
- 1:59:48a shit year but definitely not not not what you
- 1:59:50would expect out of johnny take johnny junta
- 1:59:53mirrors so that's honestly not horrible take
- 1:59:56on my my sleeper is just a bull and then my tanker
- 2:00:01actually i think it's gonna be a hot take um
- 2:00:04mitch martin martin really wow damn that's that's
- 2:00:11another hot like my second really big hot take
- 2:00:13i think I'm excited to watch more of him this
- 2:00:22year. I think Dylan Gunther. Going back to last
- 2:00:29year, he has like 18 goals in his last 25 games
- 2:00:32going back to last year. He's done a really hot
- 2:00:35strip and he's doing really, really well. I think
- 2:00:38he's gonna have a really good season. So far
- 2:00:42this season in three the three games played he
- 2:00:45has five goals and In his career 81 games played
- 2:00:4829 goals and 26 assists I think they're gonna
- 2:01:11be a lot of fun to watch this year. Yeah, don't
- 2:01:14come through is actually my My sleeper this year
- 2:01:17The one that I'm excited to watch once he comes
- 2:01:22back off I are you guys can probably guess No,
- 2:01:26it's sort of just healthy healthy. Yeah, sir.
- 2:01:29Jeff Cole and Pertuzzo and Jersey are all healthier
- 2:01:33I have his Jersey upstairs and I was pissed to
- 2:01:37see me John Marino Once he's once he's back on
- 2:01:43fire Not shy, but he's gonna be a staple defenseman.
- 2:01:49Yeah. Are you? Pair him up with you know, sir.
- 2:01:51Either serve a chair for you know, Jersey For
- 2:01:55me, I'm gonna say like my sleepers are I'm taught
- 2:02:00again tied between either Clayton Keller or Yep,
- 2:02:07that's it. And then... Another draft -neck out
- 2:02:10there. I mean, just look at him. He's another
- 2:02:14draft -neck. Who? Kehler Yamamoto? Yeah. And
- 2:02:18then, honestly, my tanker... I'd put Ian Cole.
- 2:02:24Honestly, yeah. Vertuzza's my tanker. Oh, Vertuzza.
- 2:02:28My tanker's Lawson Krauss. My name is Nick Schmalt.
- 2:02:33Schmaltzy. I'm happy that nobody said spicy tuna
- 2:02:37out there. Vancouver. I think this is one player
- 2:02:44that actually is gonna do decently well in his
- 2:02:46scenery change in Jake DeBrosque. I think he
- 2:02:51might be one of the very few that might shine
- 2:02:53very well in his scenery change here. Between
- 2:03:00him and the other guy that came over from Boston
- 2:03:02was Danton Hyten. yeah okay um for me my sleeper
- 2:03:12damn this is fucking tough man um honestly i'm
- 2:03:24saying either pie suitor or uh philip ronick
- 2:03:31yeah Then tanker Honestly tanker I'm gonna say
- 2:03:46somebody like Connor Garland. Yeah, I said Tyler
- 2:03:49Myers Just he's just been around for so long.
- 2:03:53He's getting up there age as well 1990 30 34
- 2:04:01It'll be 35 on February 1st. Would you believe
- 2:04:04he's currently the tallest player in the league
- 2:04:05now or is it Matt Repay now? Well, mine is 6
- 2:04:08'8". Mine is 6 '8". I don't think Repay is also
- 2:04:11like 6 '6", 6 '7". Yeah, Tyler Mines is mine.
- 2:04:15I tank her. Dude, he's got a fucking thunder
- 2:04:17in there coming on him. Holy shit. Repay is the
- 2:04:20tallest. Repay is 6 '9". Yeah, Jesus. Alright.
- 2:04:27Last three here. Moving on to the Vegas Viva
- 2:04:31Las Vegas the Vegas injury reserves Speaking
- 2:04:35of injury reserves somebody who was I said Thomas
- 2:04:37Hurdle Nick Hague or Peter Joe Joe And then the
- 2:04:46tankers going to be mark stone mr. IR. I have
- 2:04:49to agree tankers gonna be mark stone Sleeper
- 2:04:56I have Victor Ulferson. And then obviously my
- 2:05:02tanker is gonna be Mark Stone. My tanker is actually
- 2:05:06Bella Hannifin. He's one of those, another one
- 2:05:09of those I don't think his that scenery change
- 2:05:10is good for him. I think he could have gone elsewhere.
- 2:05:13I was not expecting Vegas to pick him up. I think
- 2:05:16he came with any form of one of the trades in
- 2:05:18the last offseason or the deadline last year
- 2:05:20or is he a free agent? I'm sorry, I missed the
- 2:05:23main one. Hannifin? uh no he was around last
- 2:05:26season was he was he one of the deadline acquisitions
- 2:05:29not not deadline but he was around the start
- 2:05:31of the season last year i thought he was like
- 2:05:33a deadline acquisition uh washington so i'm gonna
- 2:05:37do my i didn't do my sleeper for them uh my sleeper
- 2:05:42i'm gonna say either oh no i'm gonna just flat
- 2:05:48out say ilya samsonov oh yeah i think i think
- 2:05:53he's gonna be We got next Washington, Washington,
- 2:05:57I'm gonna do do mine in the pairs. So the sleepers
- 2:06:01Between T rad and Dylan Cinder blocks feet our
- 2:06:06cinder block skates Jerome that's what they used
- 2:06:09to call him in the area because he used to skate
- 2:06:11on cinder blocks pretty much and then the The
- 2:06:16trash dog shit dog water is the goaltenders between
- 2:06:20Ingram and Thompson My sleeper I hope if he can
- 2:06:29get a full seasoning, I think Hendrick's la pierre
- 2:06:31is gonna be really good And then my stanker I
- 2:06:36think is gonna be pyramid to block He talks a
- 2:06:40lot of shit, but he's never been like like topped
- 2:06:46here talks to talk but doesn't walk the walk
- 2:06:49I said my two sleepers, I was kind of going backwards.
- 2:06:53I actually pure looked the ball and then I had
- 2:06:55Connor McMichael and that was my other sleeper.
- 2:07:00But my tanker, I have, I've said I have their
- 2:07:05goaltending, just goaltending. Goaltending from
- 2:07:07Washington, yeah? For my sleepers, I have, tell
- 2:07:13them what I have. I have Jacob Churchin and Andrew
- 2:07:17Mongepani. Yeah, I forgot Mongepani went over
- 2:07:20there. Yeah, I guess I can teach her and doing
- 2:07:23really good things and then Tanker I'm gonna
- 2:07:27say is Martin Martin Faribari. Yeah, I Just don't
- 2:07:36think he's gonna do all right, and then finally
- 2:07:38ending this this thing that's way longer than
- 2:07:40I was expecting to My sleeper for Winnipeg There's
- 2:07:44another one of those teams where there's a lot
- 2:07:46of good players that I don't think any of them
- 2:07:48can be really considered a sleeper. I just didn't
- 2:07:51make a lot of healers. Only because I think this
- 2:07:55might be his best year yet coming up. That's
- 2:07:57the only reason I'm gonna say sleeper. He's gonna
- 2:07:59have better than people expect or better than
- 2:08:00he has had before. I don't think he's gonna outshine
- 2:08:04anybody, but he's gonna probably his best year
- 2:08:07of his career coming up, I think. Holy shit,
- 2:08:09they're deep in center. They have ten centermen.
- 2:08:14And they have four wingers, yeah Holy shit, but
- 2:08:19I'm gonna say Cole Perfetti's my sleeper and
- 2:08:21my tanker is gonna be Although he's pretty much
- 2:08:24carrying me my HUD team right now Josh Morrissey
- 2:08:31My tanker is gonna be a Nino Nino rider He's
- 2:08:36kind of getting up there he's been slowing down
- 2:08:39the past couple years quite the caliber he used
- 2:08:45to be. Yeah, I was going to say my tanker was
- 2:08:49Nino Nienmeyer and then my sleeper was Colin
- 2:08:52Miller, a defenseman. So my, I'm going to say
- 2:08:57my tanker is Alex Iafolo and my sleeper, big
- 2:09:06man with Winnipeg and Barry Colt's alumni. and
- 2:09:12Mr. Mark Scheifele. Wait for the Barry Colts.
- 2:09:15Yes. Really? Mark Scheifele is a Barry Colts
- 2:09:18alumni. Fun fact. Interesting. I think that about
- 2:09:24does it unless anybody has a last second thing
- 2:09:26to add in. Again, just fuck Jordan Bennington.
- 2:09:31I don't think we can say that enough. He's a
- 2:09:33see you next Tuesday. Best thing I could say.
- 2:09:36That's all I can say on air. See you next Tuesday.
- 2:09:42Alright, that does it. Normal outro here. Stereotypical
- 2:09:47outro here that we've done every single week
- 2:09:49the past two and a half seasons. I have nothing
