Logan has a a r a runway under construction, so every every airline's getting whacked. Im the Captain Now: yeah. I got d Franz Datsyuk: Jet Blue's always been terrible though.

Franz Datsyuk: they're cheap and it's the easiest in and out of all time. Im the Captain Now: R has been r raving about breeze. Franz Datsyuk: We're flying breeze this weekend. It's just Im the Captain Now: We gone. Captain Jim: Where are you guys going this weekend? Franz Datsyuk: we're going we're going to Sanibel. This is the first flight with the little one. Im the Captain Now: What's Santa B? Captain Jim: Wait, Dave, i i is this the condo where the best deals were acquired? Franz Datsyuk: So where's Sanibel, you ask, Captain Jim: This is a hockey show, by the way. Franz Datsyuk: Uncle Brian? Im the Captain Now: No, we're catching up. Franz Datsyuk: So yeah, this is a hockey podcast. a Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: Bruins podcast. So Big Dave, notorious for his deals. Notorious. A family friend of ours, Donna, my parents have known her for years. She had a timeshare in Sanibel, and my parents, yep. Captain Jim: Dave, quick question. Quick Im the Captain Now: Can I get a state Captain Jim: question. Im the Captain Now: on Santa Belle before we move forward? Okay. Franz Datsyuk: Florida. It's it's two it's two and a half hours south of Tampa, Im the Captain Now: Okay. Franz Datsyuk: near Fort Myers. Captain Jim: Dave is Donna the one that just had the twelve puppies. Okay. All right, yeah, next time, next Franz Datsyuk: No, no. That's a story for another day. Captain Jim: time. Franz Datsyuk: that might violate some HIPAA stuff, but anyways. Captain Jim: Yeah Franz Datsyuk: so Big Dave was with Big Dave and Karen. They were with Donna and Sanibel, and you know, Big Dave, just he could talk the stamp off an envelope. He was

yucking it up with some dude at the pool. And One thing led to the next. The guy was like, Yeah, I'm thinking about like selling my week, because time shares, you know, you just essentially buy a place for a week, which is like the craziest concept of all time, but whatever. So my dad was like, really? Like this week? And the guy was like, Yeah, might even sell both weeks. And he was like, I'd be interested in one. Lo and behold, like two hours later, after just like sitting in the pool. Big Dave negotiated a deal with this guy for his week. And then his famous line walking out of the pool was, Man, the best deals are made right in this pool. After probably just peeing in the pool, hanging out, not moving, like Im the Captain Now: Was he having pots? Captain Jim: I don't even think it's it it's not even like that funny, but Franz Datsyuk: No. Captain Jim: Dave Dave told me that story once and I was was just cracking up like think thinking Franz Datsyuk: The best deals are made in this pool. Captain Jim: yeah, I say it all the time, Cameron. Im the Captain Now: Th that was that was after no that was after no pints. Franz Datsyuk: No, Big Dave like really doesn't suck him down. Captain Jim: He just makes deals and pulls. Im the Captain Now: so he had a little he must he I think he had a little bit of an advantage on this guy. This guy might have been in his bag. Hand shake deal Franz Datsyuk: Yeah, well yeah. Im the Captain Now: though. Franz Datsyuk: Y you know why I got the deal of the century? Because the first year we go down there, that hurricane comes through and wipes Sanibel completely off the map. And we were down there that week. We had to rearrange our flights. It was a whole a whole debacle. Im the Captain Now: Jesus Christ. Franz Datsyuk: The place was out of commission for two years. They just rebuilt it like last year. Got deal during hurricane season. Im the Captain Now: my god. It'll be fun though. It's gonna be hot it's gonna be hot as Africa down there, but Captain Jim: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: God. Zimbabwe hot. Yeah, we're just really anxious about the flight. Like Isla wants to walk. Like she might fight someone, like if she can't walk or like crawl. Im the Captain Now: Well, I mean J Johnny P just did twins and I I think he reported back so far so good on the flights to and from Franz Datsyuk: I I know I I mean I talk to him every day and I've yet to ask him about flying with the child. So that is just on the docket of things that that I need some some guidance on. Im the Captain Now: It's only three. Captain Jim: You gonna knock her out with anything or? Franz Datsyuk: No, they advise against Benadryl. Captain Jim: Really? Why? Franz Datsyuk: I don't know, 'cause it can have an adverse effect on children. Captain Jim: Mm. Maybe that's why it didn't work for me. Franz Datsyuk: No, you just have just brutal fight anxiety. Im the Captain Now: Dude, you're you're laughing. Dude, that's Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. Im the Captain Now: three

that's three hours. That's a hop, skip, and a jump. You'll you're you're totally fine. You'll be fine. Franz Datsyuk: Yeah, we'll have to see. I don't know, we're just freaking out about it. Which is why hey, little anxiety never hurt no one. Im the Captain Now: Any any any normal person on the flight knows when a child is crying that the parents are have so much anxiety around it and no one no one normal actually cares. Just pop your headphones in it and keep it keep it moving. Franz Datsyuk: Yeah, just g I'll I'll buy you some noise canceling is like if you need them that bad. Breeze definitely doesn't have TVs or headphones though, so it's gonna be interesting. Im the Captain Now: No, God no. You'll be you'll be lucky to have a chair. Franz Datsyuk: Well this isn't spirit, Brian. Captain Jim: Dave, did you have to buy her Im the Captain Now: I mean it's scuba the case and Captain Jim: seat or does she she gets she's flying for free? Franz Datsyuk: She's flying on the house. She's Captain Jim: Nice. Franz Datsyuk: flying on the house. Im the Captain Now: Well I mean Franz Datsyuk: We used points. We got points for the rental car. We're not we're not paying for for lodging. Im the Captain Now: I mean, Dave. Captain Jim: did Big Dave facilitate this? Making these deals? Im the Captain Now: Well, I mean, Dave, Franz Datsyuk: Only Im the Captain Now: Breeze Breeze did buy Spirits plans, so Captain Jim: You have to push it off the runway. Fred Flintstone style. Franz Datsyuk: I'm gonna say fr Fred Flintstone, like when we'd go down on spring break. I gotta say though, going back going back Captain Jim: The little little feet running Im the Captain Now: Ha ha. Franz Datsyuk: to the bachelor parties. This is a hockey podcast. nothing worse than flying out of a bachelor party at night, like the day you have to leave at night. Like Im the Captain Now: it's brutal. Franz Datsyuk: it is the Captain Jim: Terrible. Franz Datsyuk: worst feeling on planet Earth. Im the Captain Now: I I'm usually up and at him. Like I like Fem's batch Sunday morning I was at we I was flying out at five AM Like Franz Datsyuk: Like you just gotta get out of town. Im the Captain Now: No, just like get out of Dodge. Like had a ton of Captain Jim: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Im the Captain Now: fun. Like went out Saturday and just woke up and got after it. And I was in I was in I was under the sheets at 9 30 AM in Boston. It was unbelievable. Captain Jim: Nothing better. Franz Datsyuk: So nice. Like that's so nice. But yeah, that Im the Captain Now: Yeah. But you gotta eat it. Franz Datsyuk: was that was my last thought on that. Captain Jim: So yeah, we're sponsored by Penn. Franz Datsyuk: And Breeze Airlines and the city of Charleston. Captain Jim: And Chipseed we're reframing our Chipsed deals. Franz Datsyuk: And if anyone needs to make a deal, find me in the pool Saturday to Wednesday, Sanibel Island. the Bruins. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: The Bruins. Captain Jim: I'm ready. I'm

I'm ready for it. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, I think I'm I'm I'm there now. I'm there, I guess. Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: I'm done thinking about thinking about it. I'm just straight Captain Jim: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: up thinking about it. Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. Franz Datsyuk: Like camp starts tomorrow. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, I'm excited. Yep. Franz Datsyuk: Like the roster just just dropped for camp. Like, I don't know. A lot of exciting things. We heard the previews on Chick-lits this week for all those who listen. S Sway sounded great. I love how he was a little self self-deprecating about the contract situation. Like Captain Jim: What do you say? 'Cause I didn't hear it. I didn't listen. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: He kinda played it off. they're making a joke about how Captain Jim: He held the original six franchise hostage for an entire summer. Franz Datsyuk: Yeah, es essentially. did you actually not listen to it yet? Captain Jim: Got it. No, I didn't listen to Franz Datsyuk: you should go listen to it. It it was pretty good. He made light of it. especially with with Franz he signed that nice ticket. he was like, Yeah, I didn't know it was that easy to make a deal with Don. I guess it was just kind Captain Jim: That's kinda funny. Franz Datsyuk: of a kind of a quick pass, but the league actually shut down Franz's first swing at the deal. Captain Jim: What do you mean? Im the Captain Now: But why was that? Franz Datsyuk: I don't know, I it was like tough to find all the details and I still really couldn't figure it out. Im the Captain Now: It was on thirty two thoughts. That's where I saw it. And it said something that it said but the first time they filed it, Central Registry found something wasn't set up properly. That was the ex explanation around it. Obviously it went through. Franz Datsyuk: What does that mean though? Im the Captain Now: I have no idea. Captain Jim: I bet it was like something with like the way the bonus structure was made or something because it I know in the Im the Captain Now: And Captain Jim: new CBA that went to effect today, I think, today the sixteenth, Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Captain Jim: everything's changed now. Like the Franz Datsyuk: New League year. Captain Jim: yeah, the signing bonus is different, like you can't structure it the way that you used to be able to. So I wonder if Im the Captain Now: No more eight year deals. Captain Jim: yeah, I wonder if it it was just something like some weird bullshit new rule that they just didn't know. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Captain Jim: Like it probably wasn't anything like malicious or anything. Like Don trying to pull a maybe was Don trying to pull a fast one. Who knows? But they wouldn't Franzi dirty like that. Franz Datsyuk: He's the next dad suk. Im the Captain Now: He's gonna make he's gonna make absolute bread in his career. He's gonna be twenty Captain Jim: Crazy. Im the Captain Now: nine by the next time his contract's up. We got another ticket, four, five, six years. Franz Datsyuk: Isn't it nuts what these contracts are? Like remember when Jack Hughes signed like the eight by eight and like the kids in Buffalo were signing those like eight by eight sort of everyone's like what the hell like those are gonna look so good. Im the Captain Now: I know. Captain Jim: Hu remember when Ilya Kobolchuk signed the 15-year, what was it like $8 million a year? Franz Datsyuk: The world burned down. Im the Captain Now: And then and then that franchise like ceases to exist anymore. Captain Jim: He's probably still owed some money, I bet, somewhere. He's like Bob Bobby Bonia. Yeah. Yeah, but then he did he Franz Datsyuk: Just like the guy Yeah, s just like the guy on the Mets. Still collects like a million bucks a year for sitting on his couch. That's gonna be like Lane Kiffin. Captain Jim: he did go to the KHL and start cleaning up, which I I don't know if we want to segue into the the the latest Russian that's popping up in Bruins news. Im the Captain Now: My guy. Yeah. I you know what? I lost some sleep last night, I'm not gonna lie. sent the pretty early text by ten forty five eleven. And Franz Datsyuk: That's late. Im the Captain Now: yeah, it was late. And I'm feeling I'm feeling it today. there was also some nonsense going on at the bar downstairs last night too. Some guy was just like having a conversation that was like screaming on the phone. that was annoying. But yeah, I kept refreshing Twitter, his agent with a cryptic tweet. And this guy, Milton, Dan Milton or something like that, he has all the Russians. He's got a Kucherov, he's got Vasilevsky, he's got Marchenko. He might even have Hu Hustaninov. I'm not even entirely sure, but he has Milton. Yeah. Yeah. And so Franz Datsyuk: And his last name's Milton. Real Russian. Miltonov. Im the Captain Now: I don't know what the connection is there. I was trying Captain Jim: Melt off. Im the Captain Now: to think of the same thing. He's got the Yakis Yakosorov guy, the goalie, that I think's in San Jose now. He's got a he's got a Askarov. Franz Datsyuk: Askarov. Im the Captain Now: got them all. And he tweeted out a baby bear with his eyes looking left to right like something was coming and nothing came. And crazy thoughts last night. I was already starting new lining combinations where Marchenko would slide in on that first line with Pasta Peterka. And yeah, we're just moving on. We're we're we're moving north. Franz Datsyuk: Wha what possesses someone to tweet that? An agent. Im the Captain Now: I guess he's notorious for it. He was this he like I guess the Kucherov extension conversation's coming up right now because he's due for a contract after this year. And I think the reporters reached out to him being like, Hey, do you have any comments on this? And he just rejected. He's like, I'm not talking about that. Like I think he's that's just his game. Franz Datsyuk: Is he just like goofing around? Like out out for a chuckle? Im the Captain Now:

Yeah. His name's Dan. Captain Jim: Now n no not to pat myself on the back, but I saw right through this. Right through this. The second I saw the the bears, like he he's either going to Russia or Housinadinov's gonna be named captain. Marchenko's not coming to the bees though. Franz Datsyuk: He's gotta move. I I mean, the blue jackets Im the Captain Now: I mean Franz Datsyuk: are Im the Captain Now: I mean Fantilly's not even signed. Franz Datsyuk: They're atrocious. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, they're in a they're in a bad spot. Franz Datsyuk: They gave airplane Jack Graves like four million a year. The guys played like half Captain Jim: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: a season in the NHL. Im the Captain Now: Werensky requested trade. They signed Coyle to like a seven year contract. Which I mean, shadow Coil wanted to get his bag. Franz Datsyuk: Shout out him. Hurd Heard Columbus is a great place to live too. Im the Captain Now: You being serious or no? Okay. Franz Datsyuk: The dead dead serious. Like people like I've actually Captain Jim: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: heard it's like outside of Columbus is a really nice place to live, sneaky. Im the Captain Now: Is it a is it a is it a Charleston adjacent city? Franz Datsyuk: No, we're pro Charleston here. We're spont brought brought to you by Pin Golf in Charleston, South Carolina. Im the Captain Now: But yeah, that that that kind of set me off a little bit. I I thought we were about to get some like late late training camp or I guess early training camp news like Bees get Marchenko. Like I was getting crazy thoughts last night. I thought I thought everything that I had been wishing into existence was coming into fr into fruition and didn't happen. Franz Datsyuk: I do think something weird's gonna happen though. Like there's gonna be a shuffle, like as there always is during or like right after training camp, before the season starts up, where I don't know, like there's a conflict of interest somewhere or like some guy gets waived, like kinda like the crater situation or whatever, where bodies are gonna start popping up and it's a matter of what the bees want to do and what the appetite is because I think that's a good segue into like Cryder. Like we were we were going back and forth and like the group text. Like I would it have been nice to get a f a solid 50 points out of him, regardless of where he was playing. Yes. But at the same time I'm not totally pissed off that they didn't go down that route to sign him. Im the Captain Now: I don't think he wanted to come here regardless. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I I 'cause Franz Datsyuk: No, but hypothetically, say like he wanted to come to Boston. Like I'm not Im the Captain Now: I heard he called Montreal. That's what I Franz Datsyuk: Yeah. Well he played with Marty and Gork, like Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: it runs deep, but like hypothetically, say you want to go to Boston. It's not the end of the world, I don't think, that the bees inside because we've been bitching about how guys just don't get a shot and the young guys don't get a shot. Like let them get in. Let them get a shot. Captain Jim: But that's the thing, the Im the Captain Now: What what Captain Jim: b like the young guys need to play then. I feel like every time there Franz Datsyuk: What yeah. Captain Jim: there's a signing like this that goes missed, it's like, okay, well, it would have bumped some young guys off and then the young guys never play. Then all of a sudden we're looking at Victor Ardson. Im the Captain Now: But like who who were the young guys? Who are the young guys that he would take their that Kreiner would take the spot for? Franz Datsyuk: I think it would be Hagen's. Im the Captain Now: No, I I think Franz Datsyuk: 'Cause they have Hagen stuck in the wing. Im the Captain Now: But I still think it makes sense. Franz Datsyuk: And then Reichel. Reichel's another young speedy winger. Kind of similar to Kreider, honestly. Kinda speed, similar Im the Captain Now: Yeah, but I mean Franz Datsyuk: build. Like they got a motor. Kreider obviously can finish. He's been doing it for Im the Captain Now: Unless he got touched by God this off season, we're not gonna get fifty from Reichel. Captain Jim: One second. Franz Datsyuk: What'd you say? Im the Captain Now: I said unless he gets touched by unless he was touched by God this summer, he's not gonna get fifty. So it's like I don't know. I like I don't disagree with you. The young guys should get an opportunity here, but I I think the young guys are slated in in the lineup and Kreider slides right into a spot that's open. I mean, Arvinton's not there anymore, so the that right wing spot in the top six is open. Hagens can slide right in. I I saw that the pairings right now are the lineup combinations right now, they're estimating it's gonna be Pasta, Hagen's and Paturk. Franz Datsyuk: Which would be great. I'm seeing right here on Im the Captain Now: wait, hold on. That actually wouldn't make any sense. No, it'd be pasta Zaka Hagen's. Franz Datsyuk: Well, but this goes back to the point of Hagen's just being comfortable playing center. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: Like, I get you're trying to protect the guy, but like, does Lindholm have the motor to play center effectively? Im the Captain Now: Got about one. Franz Datsyuk: You know? Im the Captain Now: I keep seeing shit on him right now that they're not even like a hundred per sure a hundred percent sure about like what workload he can endure during the season. Franz Datsyuk: Sucking down a seven and a h seven point seven million dollar cap kit cap hit. Im the Captain Now: What what what happened? This he had he had June, July, August, and half of September to get his back right. And now we're questioning what his workload can be heading into the season. There y yeah, everything's everything seems good. Everything seems good. Yeah, good system all systems go. And then all of a sudden a a flare up's gonna happen or his

boots are gonna be even slower than last year and we're SOL. Captain Jim: I I know I jumped in a little late here. did anyone mention about possibly cutting him? No. How about a buyout? I think they they gotta buy this guy out. Like honestly. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, but like what's Franz Datsyuk: And be on the hook for Im the Captain Now: the Franz Datsyuk: seven point seven million Captain Jim: Dude, the cap's going to fifty five hundred million next year anyways, it's not gonna matter. Franz Datsyuk: What if there's a situation though where you just terminate the contract like they did with Crider and there's no impact on the cap? Captain Jim: I don't know if they can do that. Franz Datsyuk: Is that both sides have to agree to it? Captain Jim: I think so, yeah. Like, but also what like can they put him on on LTIR? Like who was the guy on the the Blackhawks? Seabrook. They had Brent Seabrook on LTIR and he was like retired for three years. Yeah. That's right. For future considerations, Franz Datsyuk: And then they trade him to Phoenix. Im the Captain Now: Yes. I just I just don't Captain Jim: he got dealt again. Im the Captain Now: w was he not rehabbing his back this summer? What happened? Captain Jim: Dude, he probably need he probably needs major surgery. Like he probably needs Tiger Woods level surgery. Im the Captain Now: Then just do it. Like what are we why are we like why are we waiting? What are we waiting on? Franz Datsyuk: He's not gonna save the organization. Im the Captain Now: You're still gonna get paid. Captain Jim: It it it is so frustrating though, like a hundred percent you're still gonna get paid. Like, dude, if you did this last year, say you do this, what was it, all-star break, like he he was really fucked up, or not all-star break, was it Olympic break. like, dude, shut it down, get your full surgery, do your full rehab, come back halfway through this year, and fine, you'll you'll be well welcomed edition at that point. But he's just hurting the team right now. Hurting the team. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Captain Jim: The fans' expectations are for him to be a a top two center. It's just not realistic now. Like so the fans are on him. You know, his teammates are probably like I don't know, his teammates probably still love him, but Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Captain Jim: I I don't. Im the Captain Now: He's done nothing. He's done nothing. Franz Datsyuk: I mean, my guy went to the Olympics and just like Got his name on on the roster, like Captain Jim: Four reps of fooling around. Franz Datsyuk: It's just a four Sunday skates. Like, Captain Jim: Ha. Franz Datsyuk: but this transitions us into taking opportunities away from a guy like Patra. Signs 850 the two way. Like, is this his Im the Captain Now: Can I say something after? Franz Datsyuk: his say it now. Just just get it off your chest, big dog. Im the Captain Now: I don't believe it, bud. Captain Jim: Ha ha ha. Franz Datsyuk: How many chances can this kid get? But this

is has to be the last one, right? Im the Captain Now: I I listen, I I think he Captain Jim: Yeah, as the last one. Im the Captain Now: I think he could be good for another team. I think he could be someone else. Franz Datsyuk: Studnica two point Im the Captain Now: Yeah, Studniko was brutal. I don't know. Like Patra's got some s he's got some game. He's he's he's Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. Im the Captain Now: there, but he's just like for whatever reason just doesn't work. And I I feel like it's like the the X that keeps going back to the same partner every single time where the Bruins just like keep re-signing him or keep bringing up and keep dropping him down. Like we just like can't get rid of or we won't get rid of And I and I know I put out that video a couple of weeks ago where I was saying like, just cut him loose. We're holding him hostage. And like there's an opera there's a chance here that he doesn't make the roster. Like there's a there's a really good chance he doesn't make the roster. Franz Datsyuk: Hear me out. He is twenty two though. Im the Captain Now: I don't listen, I I his age is fine. It's more so he gets bumped off the puck by like a gust of wind. And like it's just not gonna he's got skill. He could be there's guys that play in the AHL their entire career and they're great hockey players and they make boatloads of money and they make all star games, they're captains, they're they're they're big in the community. That just might be him. Dave Portnoy says it all the time. If you're a pitcher and you throw ninety one, you throw ninety one. You're not gonna throw ninety five and like maybe he just throws ninety one. That's okay. But he's not gonna be anything with the Bruns. Captain Jim: I feel like he's stagnated for the past three years too. Like he doesn't look any bigger, doesn't look any stronger, doesn't look any faster. He's just plateauing at at the same level that he has been when he first came in. And we were like, damn, this kid's got some skill, he's got some game, he can think, but he just gets some of those flashes and then that's all you really see. Franz Datsyuk: Well, then you see the clips in Providence too, right? Of I don't know, they'll get like a power play goal or something, or like they'll they'll work the puck low to high or whatever and and and he'll kind of start it off, right? The clips aren't like this kid is dominating these games by any stretch. It's like, he's a really good player in this league. You know, so it's like, how much longer can you be a really good player? Cause looking at the Like the centers. Reichel center left wing. Ivan Ivan, just the best name in hockey. Center, and then Diaska. Captain Jim: Atilio. Franz Datsyuk: Center, left wing, then Patra center, Riley Durin center, Captain Jim: The franchise savior. Franz Datsyuk: and then the the Latvian locomotive Dons center. Im the Captain Now: That's a kid that that's a kid that I'm high on. I am high. Captain Jim: Don't Zloch Melis. Also,

Franz Datsyuk: I want to see him get a sniff. Captain Jim: how about Riley Duran just being in the Bruins pipeline for the past seven years? Im the Captain Now: Is that the kid from Woolburn? Captain Jim: Yeah, played at Providence. Franz Datsyuk: Yeah. Shout out him. Im the Captain Now: He's still he's still with the organization. Captain Jim: Yes. They drafted him in like twenty nineteen. Im the Captain Now: yeah. Captain Jim: Ha ha. Franz Datsyuk: Let's see right here, ready. Captain Jim: He's like a six rounder, too. Im the Captain Now: Twenty twenty, you aren't far off. I know. Captain Jim: I mean Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: D does he get a sniff? Im the Captain Now: I I was no no no w I I watch I know that's what I mean. That's what Franz Datsyuk: What but cheese bread's though? Captain Jim: Why do they keep jerking him around though? Like what do you what are we doing with him? Im the Captain Now: I mean though, is just like cut him loose, go get another he could probably play for another team. For some reason it's not working for the Bruins, him and Padra, they're both great f hockey players. Just let them go, trade them. Why are we like keeping them in the basement and like letting them eat like bread and water? Like it's just like like let them go. Like it's it's it's Captain Jim: He just likes going to the games. He gets season tickets for for his friends and family Im the Captain Now: Dickelus. Captain Jim: at a discount. Franz Datsyuk: But like you have to have like organizational depth. Like we're gonna have to sign we're gonna have to sign someone else, so like so like Captain Jim: D there's plenty of people that weren't drafted in in twenty sixteen that can be organizational depth pieces. Im the Captain Now: It's just it's it's Franz Datsyuk: Like just hold on to the kid. Im the Captain Now: but I I but back to Loch Loch Loch Mellis. Right? Is that his how you pronounce his name? Locmelis. Captain Jim: Larch malice. Franz Datsyuk: The Latvian locomotive. Im the Captain Now: high on him. Hi on him. Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. Im the Captain Now: Saw some great stuff from that prospects challenge. I know that Franz Datsyuk: Mark Cussie had him rated number two behind Hay Goon. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Good points. he was rehabbing a shoulder injury. He said he didn't r didn't really bother him all that much. He wasn't really thinking about it, but they're still predicting him to start in Providence. Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. Im the Captain Now: so that's just another that's another to my earlier point about Kreider, he's taking the p spot from no one. We don't these guys are not being inserted into spots and we just keep doing the same thing every year with all these guys. Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Franz Datsyuk: We'll have the same conversation Im the Captain Now: been rough to go. Franz Datsyuk: as I mean the bees aren't getting any younger. Like, Im the Captain Now: No. Franz Datsyuk: if you're looking at it. Lindholm 31, Pasta 30, Geeky 28, Zaka 29, Middlestat 27. Then you got like the kid line column. And then the fourth line, 29, 33, 27. Im the Captain Now: Is that Corale? Franz Datsyuk: Corale is thirty three, yes. Im the Captain Now: Jesus. All right. Captain Jim: He's gonna be even slower this year. Franz Datsyuk: Yeah. Captain Jim: Just getting constantly Im the Captain Now: I've Captain Jim: slower. Im the Captain Now: I've I've had people in our comments on the socials that are just like dumbfounded that people would want Easy Mont over Corale. I I maybe I missed it. I watched I think all Franz Datsyuk: You seem one sneaky thirty years of age. Captain Jim: Is he really? Im the Captain Now: I think I think I watched all eighty six games last year. Pretty sure. Eighty eighty seven, whatever it was. Captain Jim: Okay. Im the Captain Now: I watched Corale. I I I think he's a great guy. He had great career. I think it's just I think we gotta someone else gotta be on that fourth line. I think they have to. Franz Datsyuk: The time has come. Captain Jim: He's he's like the coach is banky. You know. They just put him out there because they know like he'll chip it high off the glass, he'll get it on a four check, hit the glass really hard, clip the guy maybe on his ways. But we do have some some some good development on the younger folks. touched on it, the prospect challenge. I put some good stock into this, the prospect challenge. Like we Franz Datsyuk: Hundred percent. Captain Jim: always play against Buffalo's. prospects, look where Buffalo is now. They always got dynamite young guys. And then you get Jimmy Hagoon, Jim's Deli just putting up six goals in two games. It's phenomenal. Franz Datsyuk: He looked good too. Captain Jim: Really good. Yeah. Im the Captain Now: Three on the three on the peeper second game, that could be huge. Captain Jim: Did he have an even strength goal? W is the overtime three V three, do you know? It must be three V three. Franz Datsyuk: think it is in the prospect Im the Captain Now: So there was a lot of it was Franz Datsyuk: challenge too. Im the Captain Now: a lot of rum in that video. Captain Jim: So so there was no five on five goals? Did he have one maybe or something? Im the Captain Now: Maybe in the first game. Captain Jim: Yeah, I don't know. But regardless, I I saw some people online just brain dead moron saying it's a beer league, it's you know, this is men's league, eleven PM Wednesday night skate. Franz Datsyuk: You should send them out there. Captain Jim: It's yeah it's not. It's this it's promising, promising tournament. And to light it up like you did, that's huge. I mean, I I think the kid's gonna make the roster out of camp. I I'm expecting a big year out of him. I'm predicting fifty points from Jimmy. From Jimmy. Im the Captain Now: Without a doubt. Yeah. Same. Same. Captain Jim: Like tw twenty w Franz Datsyuk: Are we going over under fifty? Captain Jim: I I'd go over. Give me the over. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. I

I I I'm still in the camp that I I think Franz Datsyuk: Well, you guys were that bullish, huh? Im the Captain Now: I think Minton, Husininov and Hagen's grabbed fifty plus this year. Captain Jim: Yeah. I like that. Franz Datsyuk: Wow. I don't know what cool wid you guys are drinking, but I'm gonna start drinking some of that. I don't know, I see like Watching the playoffs are a different beast, right? When Higgins got in. And Captain Jim: Yeah, we're talking regular season here. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, yeah. Franz Datsyuk: no, I know, but like that was the only sample size we have of him in the NHL. And he definitely looked a little out of place. Like his compete was there. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, I mean that's tough. Franz Datsyuk: Like his compete was there, and like he wasn't with the team all season. So like it it is tough. So like you gotta give him some grace for sure. I don't know, 50 seems Im the Captain Now: my god, yeah. Franz Datsyuk: like a lot. Im the Captain Now: But if you're playing top six minutes, which I'm expecting him to, I mean why not? Yeah, Franz Datsyuk: Maybe slides in with Peterka and and pasta. Im the Captain Now: I mean, like you have to cater to your top prospect that's gonna be on the roster. Put him with guys that are also gonna complement his game. And in in in turn, Poshronch's gonna see a guy that can actually s keep up with him speed wise. He's a playmaker. He seems to be what he was at BC was a pass first. Now he's a shoot first guy. That's totally fine. Pashrnak was saying that. even before he got to the NHL, he was a pass first guy as well. And Franz Datsyuk: Happen to become a shoot first guy. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, which is crazy. Now he's got like five hundred goals. yeah, I just I I think that this like we're that we're not like we're not just like throwing him in there because he's a top prospect. Like I think he can compete and compliment the other guys on the on line. Franz Datsyuk: Do I mean the last top prospect, true top prospect, in my opinion, the Browns had was McAvoy. Post before Im the Captain Now: Yes. Franz Datsyuk: that. Do are we comfortable? Because like they really laid an egg with like the whole like Hagen signing out of school and handling that situation. Do we think they short circuit and mishandle this situation with him now being being full time saying he makes a camp? the the raw start of cam. Im the Captain Now: No, no. I I I think the prospects challenge was a good sample size for them to see like that he has a skill set that the Bruins need because if their D core is gonna look the way it does and we're gonna be leaving Swayman and D Pietro to dry, they need goals. Franz Datsyuk: We're gonna need gold. Im the Captain Now: We're we're gonna be in seven to four games, five to three games pretty regularly, and we need to we need to be on the the favorable side there. Captain Jim: Yeah, I I agree. I I I think he's gonna earn it too and really give the team no choice but to but to give him a spot and he I I think he's gonna succeed. Im the Captain Now: And Swayman, Dave, I in the in that interview, he said that Hagen stuck around all summer. Was at Warrior Escape. Franz Datsyuk: Great. Im the Captain Now: Was working out at the facility like he didn't bounce. Yeah. Captain Jim: Was that loco with Anthony Roman Anthony? Im the Captain Now: We don't need him getting in touch with we Franz Datsyuk: Fat baby. Im the Captain Now: don't we don't need him getting in touch with Roman Anthony. yes, please. Franz Datsyuk: Roman Anthony, stay away from our prospects. Im the Captain Now: Please for the love of God. Just go to local one four nine instead. yeah, I I'm I'm very high on him. I I think this is the year that those three guys like really push the offense to that next level. and I I I do think the Bruins will make the playoffs. I think will be that first to second wild card. But we need we need some guys at the back end to step up. And I don't know, do you guys think that defenseman you guys are high on is gonna make the roster? Franz Datsyuk: Brunei. I I honestly don't think so. Captain Jim: I I w I want him to, but I don't think so. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Captain Jim: I really Franz Datsyuk: What do you do? Captain Jim: want I really want him to though. Im the Captain Now: I know. I would like to Franz Datsyuk: Same here. I think I think it it's like a one-for-one thing with Laurae, for example, right? Similar player. I don't know Brunei's defensive ability relative to Laurae, because he's you really get some head scratchers with that kid, but he's got the jam on the offensive side, so it's like can't really have them both. Im the Captain Now: I'm pretty high on low Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. Im the Captain Now: right heading into the season, weirdly enough. I I think Captain Jim: That's good. Im the Captain Now: that I th I I would like to see him be that counterpiece to McAvoy like offensively. Like grab that forty five fifty point mark as a D Franz Datsyuk: He can. Im the Captain Now: he can. He certainly can. But like you can't dick him around. He he makes a mistake out there, so be it. But like Franz Datsyuk: Throw back out. Im the Captain Now: yeah, if if he goes if he was plus minus is minus two and he's got forty seven points, I don't care. Really don't care. Like, but you can't win the green jacket. You can't. Yeah, Captain Jim: Wha I was gonna say, what if his plus minus is minus fifty four again? Franz Datsyuk: No Im the Captain Now: then we then we have an issue. I I Captain Jim: Yeah. Im the Captain Now: know people have seen a ton of graphics of Zadorov and just the word discipline underneath it, like head it heading into the year. Captain Jim: Keys to the season. Im the Captain Now: I don't care that Zodorov gets penalty minutes. I I hope he matches his subtotal from last year. I well yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like Yeah. Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think we're all in agreement with that. I think

we're all in that line Franz Datsyuk: He will. Captain Jim: of thinking. Like we we like just the sandpaper and the ass cheeks right there. Franz Datsyuk: You know what you're gonna get. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, why are we trying to change his game? I just but anyways, I I I think the I think the Bruins are looking okay. Like I think I think I think it's gonna be another fun season, I do. Franz Datsyuk: Yeah, I mean other than us having like seventeen of the same defensemen, like the Peterka adds great. Hagoon, you know, but then like it's just the real question of who are they gonna give the C to? And and who's gonna Captain Jim: Mm. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: who's gonna lead the charge. Captain Jim: So I kind of had a revelation. I I've been ever since McAvoy first jumped up with the team in the Ottawa playoff series, I was like, this guy's gonna be captain of the Bruins. Past couple nights, especially when what was it, Sturm came out yesterday and said there's gonna be a captain before the season starts, I think it's gonna be pasta. Im the Captain Now: An agreement. Franz Datsyuk: I agree. I had the same thought. Captain Jim: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: like I could I totally could have s like I saw Macvoy as a Bruins captain down the line. Now I know the Bruins haven't done this historically, but like the superstar usually gets the C, right? Or whatever it is. And I mean Poss is he's had some great leaders. He's learned from these leaders. I see this relationship being like a burgie. in a in like a big Z type of relationship where like these two dudes I don't know them like well from like a hole in the wall but like they definitely respect each other. Like they've been working together for so long where whoever gets it, I can't imagine there's gonna be poopy pants involved. It's just gonna be like Captain Jim: Mm mm. Franz Datsyuk: continued like like nothing should change other than the fact that one has a C and one has an A. Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. I agree. Franz Datsyuk: at the end of the day. Like they always talk about like the leadership group, the group, the group. Okay, Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: cool. Like it's just it's just a it's just a figurehead at the end of the day. Is it Im the Captain Now: Later. Franz Datsyuk: being the Bruins captain, like Captain Original Six team, like a incredible honor? Yeah. But regardless if it's a if it's Pasta or McAvoy, like Captain Jim: Ca can you imagine if they just Franz Datsyuk: Everyone's singing the same song. Captain Jim: threw a curveball and just gave swam in the sea? Im the Captain Now: DPA drove. Franz Datsyuk: Ricky D still on payroll. Im the Captain Now: That would be ridiculous. yeah, I mean I I I think Captain Jim: I probably wouldn't watch the team. Im the Captain Now: that would be I mean, I was just looking at Possus' points to see if we're on the brink of any historic stats this year. I mean, he's in line to hit a thousand this year. Crazy, crazy. Captain Jim: Mm-hmm. Yeah. what is he, eighty points away or something? Im the Captain Now: He's at nine thirty three right now. Captain Jim: So it's like set sixty seven. Wow. Well Im the Captain Now: Yeah. I got they might get that before the might get that before the break. Franz Datsyuk: Good math. Seriously. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. So I mean I I I think it's pasta. I I I but I and it almost like the roller coaster that we've been on since the l end of last season, it was we're gonna have conversations and like everything was leading to naming a captain. And then like three or four weeks ago it's like, Yeah, like we're just moving forward without a captain, like we're not naming anybody. But then Connor Badartin gets named the captain of the Chicago Blackhawks. And maybe forty eight, seventy two hours after, Don Sweet is on the mic, he's like Yeah, we're gonna be naming someone before camp. Right but before the Franz Datsyuk: You think that's what with the fire under his ass? Im the Captain Now: I I mean I I I think it's a shot in the dark, but I mean it they're they're right next to each other in in the time. Captain Jim: Do you th do you think they name it tomorrow? First day of on ice? Im the Captain Now: What's the point of waiting? Franz Datsyuk: Maybe. Im the Captain Now: I just like they already know they already know they already know the answer. Captain Jim: Yeah, I th right, that's what I'm saying. Like Franz Datsyuk: We've dragged it out long enough. Im the Captain Now: They know the answer. It's like a Captain Jim: I I think they're just waiting for like a like a social media clip, probably. Franz Datsyuk: Are they waiting like Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: the survey monkey poll to come back? Like on like like who the guys are voting like something. High school? Im the Captain Now: You know you know who you know would be you know like betting odds dark horse plus twelve hundred? Zodorov. He would he would Franz Datsyuk: yeah. Im the Captain Now: he would he would be a dark horse here. Franz Datsyuk: Yeah. Captain Jim: I would see I I also like plus fifteen hundred, give it to Jimmy. Like hey, yeah, pff dude, that guy Franz Datsyuk: Yokihary Im the Captain Now: I forgot he was at the roster. Fuck you, Dave. Captain Jim: That guy he's gonna be playing in the Deutsche Iceland League by mid December. He's gonna be playing for the Berlin Ice Baron. Franz Datsyuk: Yoki's gonna have a letter. Captain Jim: I don't that's another guy that he should get the Linholm treatment where like I I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up on waivers, honestly. Like what do you what are they doing with him? Im the Captain Now: I I I actually don't know. Franz Datsyuk: Guy can skate. I don't know, but he can skate. Is it a trade piece? Captain Jim: So could Luis Mendoza. He just couldn't stop. Did anyone put up crazy numbers at camp today? I didn't see anything. Like no one's ripping like thirty seven pull ups or anything. Im the Captain Now:

I didn't see anything like that. I wonder if they still do that. Captain Jim: It's probably all like VO two max stuff, like Im the Captain Now: I thought they got rid of that because Whitney was saying that he was jealous that they don't have to do what they had to do. Captain Jim: I have no idea. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Couple of Franz Datsyuk: We should hold our own camp. Im the Captain Now: the y have you guys seen the surveys that they do with a couple of the players that like rule changes, what they did in the summer, all that stuff. Captain Jim: I saw a couple headlines on it. Franz Datsyuk: Yeah. Im the Captain Now: Couple of the rule changes. I'd like to get your take on them because I thought they were interesting. so Coronado out of Calgary, he said if you score on the power play, they don't come out of the box. You just keep the power play full two minutes no matter what. Captain Jim: I've I've heard that discussed before. I don't love it. Th they Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Yeah, I'm kind of indifferent on it. Captain Jim: they would have to I feel like they would have to call they'd have to be way more lenient with penalties then. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: Lenient. Captain Jim: Yeah, like like not call as many penalties. Franz Datsyuk: Strict. Captain Jim: Strict? Franz Datsyuk: You'd have to be more strict if you're not calling as many penalties. If you're being more lenient, right? Captain Jim: I think ye no, you you're wrong. You just dummied Franz Datsyuk: damn. Captain Jim: yourself. Im the Captain Now: That have to be more Yeah, I I guess I think both work. Like be Franz Datsyuk: Shut up, Dave. Im the Captain Now: being more leaned, like the hooking a hooking call has to be like an egregious hook. Captain Jim: You're more lenient of the rules. Im the Captain Now: Jake Gensel, I just think if you score a short hit of goal, the guy's penalty should be done. Captain Jim: I agree with that. That's fun. Franz Datsyuk: I like that. The going Im the Captain Now: I don't I don't disagree with that. Franz Datsyuk: back to the power play though, those poor saps that don't ever get any PP time, like they would just be like really burning some splinters. Im the Captain Now: it is what it is. Captain Jim: You guys ever watch a game too where where there's just way too many penalties and you're just like, ugh got like I'm sick of Im the Captain Now: I know. Captain Jim: just watching w working it around the umbrella. Franz Datsyuk: It's like the just watch go watch a Bruins game. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, five power plays in a night. Ridiculous. Captain Jim: Maybe that's why I'm anti that rule. Im the Captain Now: This one I Franz Datsyuk: I do like that one B cam though, again Solan. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, that one's interesting. The one that Drysdale and Slavin were talking about was the puck over the glass in the defensive zone, delay a game. They were arguing that like no one doesn't intentionally like whatever. I I still like that's that's part of that's a huge part of the game. Like that's like You're you're just you're you're hitting the eject button when you're pinned in your in your end and you just humming over the glass. Like of course that should be a penalty. Like that Franz Datsyuk: I think it's subjective, right? Because if you ask a guy, like, did you do that on purpose? He's gonna say no. Like like Im the Captain Now: Course he is. Franz Datsyuk: like you're not gonna like, how could you tell if someone's like purposely like setting one over the glass. You have to keep that in the game. Captain Jim: Right. Well no no Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Captain Jim: one's doing it on purpose now because it's a penalty. Franz Datsyuk: Yeah. But if it's not a penalty, you'll just Captain Jim: Right, what's stopping you from just like Franz Datsyuk: Just sending it Captain Jim: you said, yeah. Franz Datsyuk: full Helen Keller and just letting it fly. Im the Captain Now: removing the trapezoid for the goalies. Yeah. I think that's a good one. Captain Jim: I like that, yeah. Fuck that. Franz Datsyuk: I can't believe they still have it. Captain Jim: That is crazy. That I feel Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Captain Jim: that's like a two line pass rule, kinda, it feels like. Im the Captain Now: and then the other one was Ziegers talking about he doesn't like how you can ice the puck on a penalty kill. Captain Jim: He doesn't like how what? Im the Captain Now: You can ice the puck on a penalty kill. Franz Datsyuk: On a power play. Im the Captain Now: No, why would you ice the puck on a power play? Franz Datsyuk: well like Captain Jim: Wait, Franz Datsyuk: if if if you're killing Captain Jim: he doesn't like how Franz Datsyuk: the penalty killers can ice the buck. Captain Jim: What are you supposed to do? Soft chip? Im the Captain Now: But carry it to the red. Yeah, Franz Datsyuk: Play hockey. Im the Captain Now: soft chip. Play to the I I I see both sides. I th I think that is, but like you're already at a deficit. And like it's already hard enough to to clear the puck. I mean, Captain Jim: Yeah. Im the Captain Now: we'd be looking at eight goal games. And like those aren't even that fun to watch. Captain Jim: Right. No, that's TikTok hockey. That's Z gris. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. That's Franz Datsyuk: Speaking of Ziegress, Zieg Im the Captain Now: that's super that's super hockey. Franz Datsyuk: Ziegris seen at the US Open with one of the Flyers reporters. Im the Captain Now: That was interesting. Yeah, that was interesting. Franz Datsyuk: He's gotta have money on the board for that, right? Im the Captain Now: Yeah, I I I I wonder if someone talked to him. Franz Datsyuk: Is that like a no go? That that has to be a no go. Captain Jim: I would think that's Im the Captain Now: I it's like Captain Jim: that's probably a no go for the reporter. Which is unfair. Im the Captain Now: Yeah, I mean that's Captain Jim: It's it's probably unfair to say, but like Franz Datsyuk:

Gotta be a no go for both sides. Captain Jim: I don't know, dude. If you're a player, like it doesn't like Im the Captain Now: Yeah, you can Captain Jim: y you're not like your ability to play is not affected by like your relationship interest, but if you're the reporter, like you can't unbiasedly report on the player that you're actively having relations with. It's like the Vrabel Roussini stuff. It's not fair, but Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: It happens. Captain Jim: I I think that yeah. Im the Captain Now: I mean it's I mean, Will Middlebrooks and Jenny Dell back in the day. Captain Jim: Happily married. Im the Captain Now: Happily married, couple kids. But Franz Datsyuk: There, there. Damn. Shout out then. Im the Captain Now: if if my memory serves me correctly, I think Jenny Dell left the station when this was going down. I think she moved on to greener pastures. Captain Jim: I I think you're right. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: And this girl is most definitely still reporting for the Flyers. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: Shout out her. Job security. Captain Jim: For now. I don't know. Franz Datsyuk: For now. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Captain Jim: You can't you can't dip your p what is it? Can't dip your pen in the same ink or something? Franz Datsyuk: Mm-hmm. I don't know, you're gonna have to pull that one up. Captain Jim: Someone said it to me once. I laughed. Im the Captain Now: and then the other thing I had was highest revenue for NHL teams last year. Do you guys see this list? Franz Datsyuk: No. Captain Jim: Mm. Im the Captain Now: Edmonton came in at number one, four hundred and thirty one million. Franz Datsyuk: we weren't we weren't gonna do the guessing game? Im the Captain Now: Well, I I I guess what do you think the Bruins rank? Franz Datsyuk: Top seven. Captain Jim: Yeah, I'd say top down. Im the Captain Now: Mikey's Mikey's right. Top eight, two eighty one. Franz Datsyuk: Where's Toronto on that list? Im the Captain Now: Second, three eighty two. Captain Jim: Mm. Franz Datsyuk: Even with the dog shit season too. Im the Captain Now: What do you what do you think the bottom three were? Or actually I'll give you bottom five. Franz Datsyuk: Mm Columbus. Im the Captain Now: Last place, one hundred sixty four. Franz Datsyuk: Columbus. Captain Jim: Wow. Franz Datsyuk: Shout out me, big brain. Captain Jim: Seattle. Im the Captain Now: weirdly enough, no. Franz Datsyuk: San Jose. Im the Captain Now: Yep, one seventy six. Captain Jim: that's a shame. They're one of the best players in the league. Im the Captain Now: And an and a neighboring team too. Captain Jim: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: Anaheim in the cellar. Damn. Im the Captain Now: Yep. 175. And then kind of crazy. in our our who we just played in the prospect challenge, Buffalo, one seventy six.

Captain Jim: Top three. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. I mean it it went Edmonton, Toronto, LA, Montreal, Rangers, Flyers, Devils, Bruins, Capitals, Blackhawks. Blackhawks still Franz Datsyuk: The devils are that? High on that list. Wow. Im the Captain Now: I think they I think they take their season ticket holders to complete church. Franz Datsyuk: I mean, they must. Think about that though, right? Like that's like what was that gross revenue you said? Im the Captain Now: yeah. Franz Datsyuk: That's like the ability to pay side on on bonuses and like all that like tied into it. Like three hundred million dollar Delta from one to thirty-two is massive. Im the Captain Now: Crazy. Franz Datsyuk: That is huge. Im the Captain Now: Absolutely crazy. Franz Datsyuk: Granted, like those guys don't need more money, but still. We'll Im the Captain Now: Yeah. Franz Datsyuk: s we'll still go to a Columbus Blue Jackets game and pay fifteen dollars for a Coors Light. Im the Captain Now: I heard the cannon at the Columbus games is like distracting. Like I who was it the who did Columbus beat for Bagel in a playoff series? Captain Jim: Tampa. Franz Datsyuk: Tamp Yeah. Im the Captain Now: Tampa. I forget who they had on. Maybe it was Chicklets or someone else. They were like that cannon went off their first cold. We just like like shook Captain Jim: Yeah. Im the Captain Now: like we never recovered. Franz Datsyuk: Charlie Patty Maroon. Captain Jim: It is alarming to hear even through the TV. Im the Captain Now: Yeah. but dude, I had to shut off the the Monday night football game, Kansas City, Denver. I had to shut that game off. That crowd was like I was at volume seventeen and like I could hear it in the bathroom. Like it was crazy. It was like a wicked annoying. Like I shout out their fans, but that that that's too loud. Too loud. Captain Jim: Throwing the Manning cast instead. Im the Captain Now: yeah. Captain Jim: Fuck those guys. Franz Datsyuk: Speaking of those guys, I know we're completely off the rails now. they co-produced the show Chad Powers with Glenn Powell on Hulu.
