WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.240
All right, gay boys, we're
back. It's table buzz. We're here
2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:09.880
with NHL Discussion Anthony Jacob. We
had him on a previous episode. Yeah,
3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.720
this guy is an absolute Whiz,
a wealth of knowledge, fountain of
4
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:20.960
what would you even say? Fountain
of Information, of Wealth, Fountain of
5
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.559
now we we had a little hiatus
of people here in the pod. We
6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.760
are hiatus of time. We were
off for one or two weeks from guests,
7
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.119
but this is a perfect guest to
kick it off with the craziness of
8
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.840
the NHL. We're gonna sit here
and talk a few minutes. We've been
9
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.719
busy. I'm doing lots. Our
weekends are weird. Our weekends are now
10
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.320
Wednesday and Thursday. That's our Saturday
Sunday, just the way that it's been
11
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.960
working out. We had a machine
gun Kelly concert on a Wednesday two weeks
12
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.719
ago. That was unreal. But
then our Sunday just turns into the Thursday
13
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.600
and then we get two weekends a
week. It's pretty, pretty weak.
14
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.840
It's cool, but last Wednesday,
where'd we go? Rich US Wednesday where
15
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.760
we're at the pink Whitney party business, Great Canadian expedition. Not's time.
16
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.000
We got to meet Biz. We
were talking to BIS for probably five minutes
17
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.200
the whole night. Every time Biz
walked by, just be like me with
18
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.319
the boys at peaks. I'd be
like Ot, a boy like Fran walking
19
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.439
by and he just give the boys. Yeah. So, like it was
20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:25.359
pretty cool. Experienced lots of free
prink Whitney around, got to drink hoynoons.
21
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:26.760
So the first time, shout out, Dave Board or you're the man.
22
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.879
What were your thoughts on a job? This was being such a beauty.
23
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.719
Didn't really know what he was gonna
be like when he showed up and
24
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.480
stuff, or how the whole thing
was going to be run or whatever,
25
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.680
but run the boys got sewered on
our way there. So basically, all
26
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.760
right, story from the beginning.
We see this post that business doing this
27
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.400
meeting grade in Toronto. We're like, wicked, that's unreal. We'll have
28
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.280
to try and get to that.
Like twelve hours later, that same day,
29
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.040
Fran Sanchez sends us the same post
that we saw and we were like
30
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.280
okay, cool, but the someone
was from Canadian party life. So I
31
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.359
clicked on and I was like yeah, like I already seen that, but
32
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.920
I gave him like the All oh
that's sick man. At the bottom it
33
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.039
says email this email address. First
Three people get on the list, so
34
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.439
we did that immediately. So thank
you, Fran. We got on the
35
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.479
list. We show up and we
know we have to be there for seven
36
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:22.199
thirty. We had rented these bikes
for the whole day. That just you,
37
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.000
buzz in, buzz out. They
were giving us issues and then we
38
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.759
go to get on them and sure
enough, like the card wasn't working whatever.
39
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.000
We couldn't get our bikes. So
we're forty five minute walk away from
40
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.120
this budweiser stage. It's not like
downtown, downtown. It's a little more
41
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.960
seven twelve. When we look the
first bike stup we get to it's like
42
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.879
seven twelve, I think. Yeah, and we were like ship like.
43
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.759
We like the bikes would have gotten
us there on time, like no problem.
44
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.879
That's what we were planning around.
But, like we were in trouble.
45
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.719
We had to get there. So
the boys just legged three and a
46
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.599
half kilometers twenty minutes. No problem, I don't even need to talk about
47
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.000
it. Like whatever, we're in
the bag. We get there, no
48
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.879
security, nothing, no line,
like we could have showed up probably eight
49
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.039
o'clock and it wouldn't have made a
difference. But we get there. They're
50
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.879
giving us free paint, quitney shots
and stuff like that. Biz shows up
51
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.319
being a beauty. Got To talk
to him, just taking pictures with everyone.
52
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.159
He wasn't being like the celebrity there, even though everyone was treating him
53
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.400
like that, just swarming him.
But it was sick. He wasn't.
54
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.479
He didn't let the boy dawn.
He didn't let the boys damn big time.
55
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.439
We were showing up bagged and we
were like this better be worth it
56
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.879
and like with it. Whatever it
was, it was sick. Hopefully we're
57
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.360
in his youtube. We have a
nice little shot. He's smoking a J
58
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.520
and we get up behind him flashing
the Merch and stuff, and he turns
59
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.680
around. He's like these boys coming
from the top rope. So we're hoping
60
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.520
that makes the youtube be huge.
We also vlogged the whole day, so
61
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.319
that's up on our youtube right now. You can see all the nonsense we
62
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.199
got up too, because there was
quite a lot of it. Came pretty
63
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.719
good buddies with spitting chickle to me
memes. Yeah, we met him at
64
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.680
the time. Actually, this is
funny because chicklets fans will know now rick
65
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.319
from red deer is the person.
So we're rick from red deer's just chilling
66
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.039
there. We didn't just look like
an average dude. Me and Josh are
67
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.439
talking to him and like Josh is
like so why are you here? and
68
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.519
Rick from red deer's like Oh,
my friends like his memes, like chicklets
69
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.959
memes. Josh doesn't know who chicklets
memes is and I'm like Holy Shit,
70
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.519
like he's memes is across the room
and I just I was like I said
71
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.720
to rick from red deer. I
was like get him over here, and
72
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.560
he's like okay, but I was
like yeah, memes, get over here.
73
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:39.800
memes was a beauty me. He
wants to come on the POD.
74
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.879
We got to reach out to him
again. He said to take his pod
75
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.360
V card, but I'm he was
a beauty. He made the night sick
76
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.920
too. Yeah, big time.
I had not known who he was beforehand.
77
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.360
became a fan of him. By
me, I mean he was great
78
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:58.519
dude, big handlebar mustache was dope. So that was kind of it for
79
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.279
that night. We ran into him
as he was leaving like rich side.
80
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.519
Hopefully we're in that video. got
a free t shirt too. It was
81
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:11.160
it was just a sick time.
Then we had earlier that day. We've
82
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.120
been making these prank fits and you
may or may not have seen them on
83
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:18.240
our instagram, UH and YouTube.
I guess this MF sparks guy. There's
84
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:24.079
a little podcast we tried to do
outside on the street, on Bay Street
85
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.680
where we live, over by Nathan
Phillips Square, and while we're doing it,
86
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.199
this guy pulls up and he was
he was like are you guys creators?
87
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.399
And then he stops right there and
he's this pokemon guy and he was
88
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.160
like you can answer this triviute question, like I'll give you this pack of
89
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.279
pokemon cards. We're like okay.
So we hook up with this guy to
90
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.319
go film some videos in public,
like eating ship out of diapers, like.
91
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.480
Well, one of the first one
we did he brought his kid.
92
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.519
He had a little we had a
real life baby that was actually like making
93
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.600
noises and stuff. That was pretty
like okay, and then the next one
94
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.160
we did, we meet him.
We had to bike there. That was
95
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.439
the day of the Pink Whitney Party
and it was just the prank was kind
96
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.079
of weird. Yeah, he was
trying to get me to go up and
97
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.120
like just ask someone for directions and
then he would come up and be like
98
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.199
Yo, like why are you talking
to my girl, Bro and then I
99
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.639
would just slap him across the face
and knock him out. He would fall
100
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.800
and he would fall like very flamboyantly. Yeah, so that was fun.
101
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.600
He was an interesting guy. Definitely
not shy at all, like just screaming,
102
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.480
like he was yelling at girls like
Jessica, like yeah, but hey,
103
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:41.079
that's our that's our collab experience here. Yeah, we've been going to
104
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.800
a lot of Jay's games. Obviously
lots of Jay's stuff happening. Six all
105
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.199
stairs at the all stair game home
underby last night j Rod Rodriguez, one
106
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.360
year old. He's a little bit
older than me. He hit thirty two
107
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.600
dingers in his first round, which
is the second most ever. I can't
108
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.639
tell you the first most ever is, but it is indeed the second most
109
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.120
ever, which is nuts. It
was Alonso of the year before with thirty
110
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.480
five, defanging champ, who he
knocked off in the second round. Not
111
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.120
a big deal, but other than
that, the boys just got into F
112
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.079
one. The whole sport is sick. It's kind of taken over like North
113
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.519
America and Netflix and all that,
so we figured we'd try and learn a
114
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:27.079
bit about it. It's it is
not sport. Uh. What really got
115
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.319
me into it though. So when
we went to that golf tournament, someone
116
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.120
said I looked like Max for stapping. That's the start of it all,
117
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:42.480
and he's not wrong. Like there's
a striking resemblance between this people. People
118
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.480
are saying like I actually get like
glowing reviews of me being Max for Stappen,
119
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.759
like don't even mention it on anything. And then a chicken tender the
120
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.360
other day. Yeah, like I
don't even know it in my bio and
121
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.680
like three or four people have said
that. So it has to happen.
122
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.360
Me and Max have to meet up. Max will come in this pot someday.
123
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.839
I've been thinking about buying a full
red bull uniform and just rocking it
124
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.480
places, seeing if people actually think
I'm Max. I have to wear shades,
125
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.240
I think, is the thing,
because my eyes aren't like yeah,
126
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.839
you don't have those Dutch eyes,
but I can. I have his accent
127
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.920
down pretty good, like a you
know. But I'm excited for it.
128
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.519
I don't know who wouldn't be.
Yeah, we'll be watching. I'm a
129
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.840
big F one guy. Now you
like Max is my only favorite player,
130
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.679
obviously your favorite racer, but I
like Lando, Lando school, because Max
131
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.200
Sucks about having him on his jet
all the time and stuff. So and
132
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:50.200
he's like twenty two, living it
up. The MLB ALL STAR Game.
133
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.440
Josh, yeah, it's coming up
tonight. You pumped? Yeah, I'm
134
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.679
pumped to see if the MLB all
star game is. Baseball is weird for
135
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.600
having an all star game like the
NBA All Star game, like everyone's like
136
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.120
scoring the whole time and like making
plays and stuff, but this one is
137
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:11.559
like the closest to a real games
can actually it's the best pictures, the
138
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.120
best hitters. They lave, they
leave one over the play a little bit
139
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.360
too much, it's going to be
a home run. But if they're throwing
140
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.159
their normal stuff that got them to
the All Star game, they're probably gonna
141
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.840
it's probably gonna be a low scoring
game. Yeah, if it is tied
142
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:31.559
after nine tonight, they're doing a
three Um three hitter swing off. Now
143
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.279
you told me that yesterday and then
I was like, oh, that's cool,
144
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.960
but then I was like, how
is that going to work? Would
145
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.360
that not just be like extra innings, like three hitters? Or like they're
146
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.879
gonna be like it's like a home
run derby to hit a dinger, not
147
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.799
just like Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, there won't be any fielders,
148
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.759
but I assume it will be like
the closers. Or maybe they'll just
149
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.759
give them soft pitches. I don't
know. Yeah, if I don't,
150
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.840
I don't know, we'll have to
see. Maybe if it comes, I
151
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.000
feel like it will definitely be soft
pitches. Actually, yeah, if they're
152
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.879
doing a home run derby, like
like Vladi can't just come up and hit
153
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.480
a digger every time, but that's
I think that's what the point of it
154
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:16.240
is to be like Oh, flatty, or like show hey Otani or Aaron
155
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.840
judge earning the home run Derby,
but like, yeah, they'll do this
156
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.519
sequence of the home run derby kind
of thing. I like it. I
157
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.720
like the love the call. For
sure, Jordan Romano Probably gonna Pitch Tonight
158
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.639
too. Let's hope it gets an
inning in there or an outer or two.
159
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.840
Be Awesome. Yeah, it should
be a fun game to watch,
160
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.799
especially where all star Games are all
offense, for this when you get to
161
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.679
see like the showcase of the defense, because pictures have like the biggest they're
162
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.279
like the goaliean hockey, but in
the All Star game you don't really care
163
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.480
about the goalies. You just want
to see them like rip on them.
164
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.240
You do care about the pictures.
Tonight, we the starters are Kershaw for
165
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.840
the NL at at Dodger Stadium.
He's pretty pumped about his first all star
166
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.799
Star ever, and Um for the
A l. We got shot Shane mcclunahan,
167
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.240
lahnd Shane mcclanahan from New York,
Tampa Bay Ray. I said it's
168
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.600
got shot Shane mcclunahan, McLean Hahn. There you go, the current MLB
169
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:22.159
strikeout leader. anyways, sit back
and relax, enjoy this NHL discussions.
170
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:28.600
Josh has some pretty fun takes here
for his Um NHL. It's back.
171
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.519
It's crazy NHL discussion film us all
in thanks, Anthony, for joining us.
172
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.679
Enjoy it. Quick disclaimer. Your
boy kind of messed up hitting the
173
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.879
record button at the very beginning.
So we covered the NHL entry draft.
174
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.080
Basically his thoughts on Shane Wright slipping
down where he had Slavkovsky pegged. This
175
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.519
is number one. He was thinking
that Montreal was going to take him and
176
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.919
he was pretty sure that New Jersey
was going for a defenseman, so he
177
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:03.440
wasn't surprised to see NMG taken second
overall, and then after that it was
178
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.720
all pretty close. So He Arizona. Just love Coolie, he thought.
179
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:11.279
So. He wasn't surprised about the
slip. Table Buzz Merch is off until

199
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.600
Let's get back to the pot.
What about your leaves? There? They
200
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.600
picked up a goalie, Matt Murray. What are your what are your thoughts
201
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.039
on their situation right now? Well, I think, Um, the key
202
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.360
to Matt Murray was that he's on
a two year term, Um, and
203
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.360
the cap it's pretty high. It's
four point six nine or something for Matt
204
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.519
Murray for the next two years with
the salary retained. But Um, it's
205
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.240
only two two years, and they
would have had it to commit five if
206
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.240
they were to sign Jack Campbell or
Darcy Kemper, which I think were there
207
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:13.720
other two goaltending targets and I think
with Um Campbell, Campbell's inconsistent play this
208
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.440
past season, and even Kemper.
I know he won the Stanley Cup,
209
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.399
but he was a little shaky at
times with the avalanche as well. I
210
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.840
just don't think they were willing to
commit five years to a goaltender WHO's already
211
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:30.320
into his thirties. And Yeah,
it's it's a risk getting Matt Murray,
212
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.200
for sure. I mean he hasn't
been Matt Murray of old for like three
213
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:39.080
or four years now already, if
not more. And I mean you get
214
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:45.759
another backup option there in Sam Sonov, who again somebody who was one of
215
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.960
the best goaltending prospects in the world
only a couple of years ago. Things
216
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.960
haven't really worked out in Washington.
It's two really huge bets for the leaves
217
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.240
there and Net and I mean if
if it doesn't work out there, they're
218
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.600
really on the hook because you're not
going to be getting rid of that five
219
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.879
million dollar Matt Murray very easily if
he has another bad season. So I
220
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.679
think the leaves are really going to
live and die on this, on this
221
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.240
Matt Murray, uh, Matt Murray
Bett, and honestly, maybe the whole
222
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.080
management crew. Like if Matt Murray
doesn't work out and they can't get rid
223
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.759
of that contract, that wouldn't be
surprised if that's the end of Kyle dubis
224
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.600
or Brendan Shanahan's tenure Um. Yeah, so it's it's a critical move for
225
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.200
them to get right. Yeah,
this season the least jobs are definitely on
226
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.559
the line. I think it's it's
time to push past the first round and
227
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.519
really makes some damage in the eastern
conference. I'm not saying like they're gonna
228
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.159
expect, like everyone might expect,
to go out and win a Stanley Cup,
229
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.000
but at least make it to like
the conference finals and really show that
230
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.960
you're the team least you know.
They have gotten unlucky with their matchups and
231
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.039
stuff, whereas like if they could
have just got out of the first round,
232
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.799
then it looks promising to go a
little further. But you got to
233
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.080
be able to knock off those teams. Well, exactly, and I mean
234
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:06.360
this year I wasn't quite as as
disappointed. I mean they lost to tap,
235
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.879
a bay of the backs Back Cup
Champs. You ended up making it
236
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.200
there again, but at the end
of the day, I mean if you
237
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:17.039
can't beat you can't win a cup
if you can't beat like a tapper or
238
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.960
whatever. And it doesn't matter if
it's in round one or round four,
239
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:23.679
if you can't beat them and you
can't win a cup. But Um,
240
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:30.320
yeah, this is this is such
a critical year for them and they lost
241
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.679
some guys up front. They lost
mackayev, they lost casha and they didn't
242
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:40.360
really add too much upfront. They
added Abe Kubel, they added God debt,
243
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.840
they added Yarn CROC. None of
those guys exactly are goal scorers.
244
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.919
So Um, I'm worried about the
scoring depth. I'm worrying about I'm worried
245
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:53.840
about the goaltending and for once,
maybe the defense is the most stabilizing part
246
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:59.080
of the team. But you got
to keep Pierre Angle. Like things got
247
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.600
to be looking up. Yeah,
yeah, I guess so sweedes are staying
248
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.279
around. Did it? Did it
staying at all watching cadre these playoffs?
249
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.440
Um, yeah, especially that ot
winner with his broken hand or whatever,
250
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.799
but I don't know, I'm happy
for the guy. I always liked him
251
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.039
on the leaves. He was,
he's always been, a great second line
252
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:25.400
center. I know someone's really gonna
overpay him Um, give him nine ten
253
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.880
million dollars and he's gonna be back
to sixty point Naz and padre and it's
254
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.160
gonna turn out to be a bad
contract. But yeah, he he looked
255
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.319
really good this whole season on the
playoff run, so I'm happy for the
256
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.279
guy. So what do you think
that? Who Do you think that team
257
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:48.839
is it's going to give him that
contract? I really don't know it.
258
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.559
It's such a tough one to to
pick, especially with so many teams so
259
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.279
closely up against the CAP. I
guess you kind of have to look at
260
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.799
teams who missed out on good drow
maybe, like I'd be looking at,
261
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.839
first of all, the flames.
I don't really know if that's best.
262
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.559
Definitely the flames would be in on
that. I could see Lou La Morello
263
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.759
and the New York islanders getting into
that. I know they really wanted to
264
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:18.119
make a push for Goo Drou and
it never happened. Um. But then
265
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.319
again, either way he's gonna be
slotting into that second line center role.
266
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.400
He's in his thirties. It sounds
like it's gonna be a long term deal
267
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.400
in the nine million dollar range,
and it just seems like a lot of
268
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:36.319
money for for a guy who's probably
going downhill after this career season. Yeah,
269
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.480
he had his moment at the summer. We'll stay in the Ontario region,
270
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.000
though, because the Ottawa senders made
some heat moves here in the playoff,
271
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.880
crazy moves. They're not in the
playoffs, sorry. After the draft,
272
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.799
pretty much they got to bring at
Talbot and then they signed drew,
273
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.960
going from one of the worst teams
in the league over to look in like
274
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:02.519
a contender. Yeah, I know
the editors had had a crazy offseason and
275
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.640
they're finally pushing the pace. I
think they still need a defenseman. It's
276
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:10.559
the key there. Um, I
think they need someone to support Thomas Tabot
277
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.799
back there. I think Gat here
a little week after that. But I
278
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:17.319
mean up front, what a top
six they have now adding drew and to
279
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.759
break at in there. You already
have Josh Noris, Drake Bath Hoson,
280
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.400
Matt Brady gets shocked, Tim Stutzla. That top six is going to be
281
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.839
lethal this here for sure. So
I think this. I think the senators
282
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.279
on the rise. Really their season
is gonna depend on how that defense goes,
283
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.240
how Cam Talbot plays, who they
brought in. But in terms of
284
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.400
how many goals this team is going
to score and how exciting it's gonna be
285
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.759
to watch. It's gonna be a
really exciting team, which is something that
286
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.960
we haven't seen from the senators since
those Eric Carlson days. Yeah, it
287
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.759
should be a back in the Hamburgler. Yeah, exactly. Are they getting
288
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:02.480
a new arena anytime soon too?
I thought think we were not that aware
289
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:07.160
of no, yeah, but yeah, we'll have to see about that.
290
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.720
I know there's been talks about it, but I'm not I'm not sure anything
291
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:15.680
is confirmed yet. Sans are definitely
something to keep your eye on this season.
292
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.400
Hopefully that will boost their attendance.
But I guess the big thing for
293
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.559
the senators, though, is like
what team in the Atlantic do they knock
294
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:27.319
off? Because you've got the least
Lightening Bruins Panthers. So which of those
295
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:33.960
teams would you guys think they could
potentially on seat? The bruins are always
296
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.200
kind of a question mark, especially
with their core getting older and Burr's around,
297
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.599
coming back for one more year.
I'm not super dialed in on how
298
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.599
many moves they've made after the draft, but I feel like they're always hit
299
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.039
or miss. For me at least. Yeah, I I could see the
300
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.079
bruins taking a bit of a step
back. I know they have a bunch
301
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.359
of injuries as well, like I
think Mars Shawn might be out till at
302
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.039
least Christmas or something. I think
there's a couple other of them to you.
303
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:06.200
Obviously Bergeron still hasn't signed a contract
that I'm expecting him to return at
304
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:10.279
least for this season, but until
he signs that contract you can't guarantee it.
305
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.440
So yeah, I could see the
bruins taking a step back. Leaves
306
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.319
maybe a bit of a step back, but I don't think they've got that
307
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.079
much worse that they're gonna miss the
playoffs this season or anything. And the
308
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.839
same with the lightning. Lost some
death pieces again, but they're the lightning.
309
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.920
They're making the playoffs. Same with
the path theres. So as much
310
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.160
as you could say the senators have
improved a ton, it's it's gonna be
311
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.279
tough for them to unseat anybody there
in the Atlantic Division. Yeah, they're
312
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.680
the new guys who have to be
clicking pretty good to be able to compete
313
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.680
right off the bat at least.
Yeah, for sure, Patty kines has
314
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.960
come up in a lot of discussions
here lately like he's he might be on
315
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.279
the move with a Chicago. Chicago
just made a lot of moves. Obviously
316
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:59.480
just traded everyone he likes playing with. Pretty much like where's the destination you
317
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.440
could see going to? That's a
tough one too. I feel like,
318
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.119
if anything, it's gonna be like
a trade deadline type thing. A team
319
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.039
that made maybe maybe they've got a
big injury or something like that, or
320
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.119
maybe they're just an up and coming
team that needs a little bit of a
321
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.359
scoring punch. Who that team is, I'm not too sure yet. I
322
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:23.279
just I'm not sure that's that's gonna
be a deal that happens this this offseason.
323
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.839
Still, I kind of feel like
Chicago's done most of their wheeling and
324
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.920
dealing. Um, I'm not sure
how I feel about some of the moves
325
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.880
they've made. Shipping off the brink
at for for just that that mid first
326
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.720
round pick. I think they could
have gotten more for that, and then
327
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:47.400
giving up on Kirby dock already at
A. I mean, I know they're
328
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.079
supposed to be rebuilding, but it
kind of seems like to break at and
329
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.599
doc or two guys that could be
building around. So I'm not too sold
330
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.319
on what Chicago has done this offseason. Then, yeah, I'm not sure
331
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:02.920
about the Patty Keane situation and Um, I think he'll be dealt eventually.
332
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:04.960
There's gonna be a lot of salary
that will have to be retained, but
333
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.519
I mean he's still one of the
best playmakers in the league, so there
334
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.759
should be a lot of teams that
are going after him pretty hard if,
335
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.839
if Chicago tries to move him.
Yeah, I could see his name made
336
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.319
at the top of the trade baby
for the whole day there in trade center.
337
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:25.480
Patty Kane pick up the deadline with
help a lot of teams, I
338
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:30.599
would imagine, like what are they
doing dumping off to brink at like they
339
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.119
get a first round pick back was
to bring out a first round pick.
340
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.319
I thought he felt in the second
round, but he should have been like
341
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.680
he should have been like a top
ten pick, but because of his size
342
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.559
he fell down. But yeah,
I mean one of the top five ten
343
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.279
goal scorers in the league. So
I mean that's a tough thing to give
344
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.240
up for a mid mid first round
pick. Yeah, you're you're just going
345
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.119
back to the well to hope that
it pans out again and then, if
346
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.119
you're lucky, you'll end up with
another drink at which he just treats for
347
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.359
the same chance. And DOC was. DOC was a third overall pick,
348
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:08.519
only that's even more sillier. Like
he didn't he didn't get to play,
349
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.839
like he didn't get to see him
very much. But you can't deny that
350
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.559
there's a whole lot of potential there. Whenever you're just trying to gauge the
351
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.680
potential of your team in five years, if they're going to be good like
352
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.240
it seems pretty counterproductive. No,
I'd have to agree to and docks and
353
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.000
lots of injuries and such. I
mean, yeah, I don't think he's
354
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.759
had a whole season in the NHL
Um yet to really show what he's all
355
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:37.119
about and hasn't been supported with the
best players either. So I don't know,
356
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:40.759
just giving up on him so early
just doesn't quite make sense. But
357
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:44.480
for the Hals, picking up Kurby
dock there, I think that's that's a
358
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.839
pretty swift little piece of business,
Getting Kirby doc there. You can put
359
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.680
them behind Nick Suzuki and um a
team that was lacking centerment so much a
360
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.960
couple of years ago and even on
their playoff run all of a sudden.
361
00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.119
I think a Suzuki doc one two
Combo could could look pretty good in a
362
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.160
couple of years. Yeah, another
team that's on the rise. This is
363
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.960
my team, the red wings.
It was looking like a pretty unreal offseason
364
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.720
so far, really liking how things
are going. Would you agree? You
365
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.000
know, I totally agree with with
the red wings. Another team in the
366
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.599
Atlantic that's on the rise. It's
gonna be quite the division in a few
367
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:26.559
years when pretty much all eight teams
are competitive. I like what they did.
368
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:32.240
I really like to bringing and whoso. I think whoso and Nadal Kovich
369
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:36.599
is gonna be a great Tadom and
one of those guys could really turn into
370
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.440
a complete stud in a couple of
years, you'd hope, once this team
371
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:44.079
is competitive. I think they're hoping
one of those two guys is a star.
372
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.880
Um, I didn't like the bench
for hot signing, for sure.
373
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.920
I thought they overpaid him by quite
a bit, but they had a ton
374
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.839
of money to spend. It's still
a young team. They don't have to
375
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:59.240
pay Raymond or CIDER quite yet.
Those are gonna be huge contracts, of
376
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.279
course, but this is a team
on the rise for sure, Um,
377
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.799
waiting to see what that Dylan Larkin
extension looks like whenever it comes in,
378
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.279
Um, but I really like the
core pieces they've built around and I think
379
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:17.920
this is another team that's for sure
on the rise. Maybe not this year,
380
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.680
quite yet in terms of competing for
a playoff spot, but in terms
381
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.920
of continued development and and starting to
fight for one of those final wild card
382
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:30.200
spots, I think they're getting close
to that for sure. Yeah, there
383
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.039
could definitely be a shift in power
in the Atlantic division over the next two
384
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.279
or three years, with the senators
and wings climbing up, and even the
385
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.880
Alps, I guess. Yeah,
yeah, for sure, but those but
386
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.960
the teams that are in power now, I don't think they're going to get
387
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.720
that much worse. Yeah, like
the at least are looking promising. But
388
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.319
the only one I can see is
if Tampa uses Kuturov or if Stam coast
389
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.759
gets hurt again or something like that, then but Vassilevski's not going anywhere either.
390
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:02.759
So yeah, that's going to be
a heck of division. No,
391
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.200
it really is. A few years. I like you said, I can't
392
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.640
see the leaves falling off, although
they do they've got all their contracts coming
393
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.279
up. Matthews has only got two
more years, knee lander has only got
394
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:18.880
two more years, Carris and mart
are only of three. So Um,
395
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.079
that's kind of the question mark for
the leaves is what happens once they have
396
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.519
to resign. Those guys, I
mean matth fews is already making like over
397
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.079
eleven and a half million, so
we'll see what. What kind of what
398
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.680
is next? Contracts looking like insane. Same with Marner. But UH,
399
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:38.000
and if they end up resigning with
Toronto, which I mean if they haven't
400
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:44.160
won playoff series and in eight years
of him being there, I'm not so
401
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:48.480
sure he is going to resign.
But Um, yeah, that's that's the
402
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.759
one team I could see potentially falling
down. Bruins, I think eventually you're
403
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.039
gonna fall down. But yeah,
I mean the two teams from Florida,
404
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.839
I I can't see them going anywhere
in the next few years either. So
405
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.079
it's gonna be an absolute dog fight
in that division in about two or three
406
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:08.440
years. It's it's just gonna be
crazy. Yeah, I'm I'm all for
407
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.079
it, though. What we're looking
for, especially where they are, the
408
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:17.319
Games that we get to watch just
exciting matchups all year of the Games should
409
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:22.200
be asked exactly. Yeah, what
did you think about that? Johnny grouted
410
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:27.440
Columbus, about his fun decision there. It really came out of nowhere,
411
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:33.000
like, Um, even him leaving
Calgary. As much as it came down
412
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:34.400
to the last day. I was
always kind of in the back of my
413
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.640
head, I'm like, you know, he's just gonna sign with dreau.
414
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.400
It's gonna it's gonna be boring.
And then once I heard the news that
415
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.960
he's leaving Calgary, I was pretty
excited to uh to see where he ends
416
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.480
up going. I heard the devil's
a lot in terms of looking for or
417
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:53.599
going after him hard. I heard
the islanders, I even heard the flyers
418
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:57.279
a little bit, and when Columbus
got thrown in there a little bit,
419
00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.480
I kind of discounted it just because
they're Lumbus, you know, a smaller
420
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:07.200
market team that hasn't really struggled to
uh, sign and keep stars recently.
421
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:14.240
And really until that final Um,
that final announcement that that he was coming
422
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.759
to Columbus, I still wasn't quite
believing that that it was happening. and
423
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:25.240
Um, I saw a tweet from
Frank Sara Valley around three or four o'clock
424
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:30.519
in the afternoon and he was saying
that the blue jackets had offered g drew
425
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.559
something in the range of seven years
and twelve million per and I was thinking,
426
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:38.359
my goodness, this is I should
be crazy if he were to turn
427
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:44.279
down a twelve million dollar per per
season contract. And when the A V
428
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.839
came in and was under ten million
per season, I just couldn't believe it,
429
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:52.440
especially when when the flames had offered
him so much more. So it
430
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.000
really shocked me. But I like
the Columbus. I like a lot of
431
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.799
their prospects that are coming up.
Um, they've got some insure eguing players
432
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.759
up front and in the back end
I like line a wearn sky like they've
433
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:08.440
got. They're not that boring of
a team to watch. So Um,
434
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:14.920
what a huge signing for that organization
and in a Metropolitan Division that's kind of
435
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.960
all over the place. Um,
this signing could kind of push them towards
436
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:23.319
a playoffs spot again in what's this
kind of quick rebuild they had? Yeah,
437
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:27.440
it seems so random, like he
wasn't interested in money, which makes
438
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:30.319
me think that he's worried about,
or trying to think about, like a
439
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.160
place he can win or at Nice
destination, and then he goes with neither,
440
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.480
in the Columbus Ohio, with a
team that hasn't been to the playoffs
441
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:41.680
in a hot minute. Like it
was scratching my head, for sure.
442
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.720
I'd love to ask him like,
what are you thinking, man, because
443
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.880
obviously there had to be a reason
behind it, but it's not like that
444
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.440
was his only option. Yeah,
for sure, and it shocked me that
445
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.480
he left the flames and, like
you said, it just seems like Um
446
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.960
Columbus didn't check off any of the
boxes that you possibly want as as a
447
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.440
free agent there, and he didn't
get the money either. So it was
448
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:07.680
really shocking to me, but I'm
all for it. I mean that's that's
449
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.200
gonna be a more exciting team to
watch for sure next year with with g
450
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:17.559
drew in the fold. But I
also like that he was maybe thinking it
451
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.160
isn't about the money. I want
to be able to help a team that
452
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.200
I can go to, because you
see all these young stars like his drow,
453
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.599
twenty five or six? Yeah,
no, I think he's he's already
454
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.519
twenties. I think he's twenty eight
or something like that. Already he looks
455
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.039
so young. It seems like he's
been in the NHL for only a couple
456
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.200
of years, but he's already about
to hit his thirties. But yeah,
457
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:41.519
I think he's got a lot of
prime years left in him. Like what
458
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.480
do you have? A hundred and
fifteen points this season or something it was.
459
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.119
It was less year. He's he's
one of the best players in the
460
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.720
league. So that's just a huge
addition for for the flame or for the
461
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.319
blue jackets, for sure. Yeah, I'd love to see the stars trending
462
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.000
in the direction of I'll take less
money. Let's try and get more teams
463
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.079
that can win the Stanley Cup here. I like that play a lot.
464
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.160
Do you think that Carolina trade with
for Brent Burns is going to help them
465
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:10.079
out any? Do you think Brent
burn still has any left in the tank?
466
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.880
Carolina had a super weird offseason.
Like they lost vinny tro check.
467
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.480
He ended up signing with the Rangers. Um, they bring in Brent Burns
468
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:27.480
on defense after losing a couple of
guys back there. I don't know how
469
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:34.400
I feel about about the Brent Burns. He's definitely fallen off recently. Um,
470
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:36.920
he's up there in age of speed
isn't where it used to be.
471
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.400
How does he fit into that team? I guess he obviously goes on on
472
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:46.039
power play one there and then you
added Max past Redi as well. I
473
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:50.680
think he's still one of the better
goal scorers in the league, but he's
474
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:58.480
also up there in age. Also
has injury issues. Um, two very
475
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:02.000
to two trades. It I completely
wasn't expecting. Um, those are probably
476
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:07.440
the two biggest shockers. Was Burns
of past ready to the hurricanes, but
477
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:09.519
they added some experience. It seems
like they wanted to go in a bit
478
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.039
of a different direction, maybe change
up that leadership group a bit and and
479
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:19.759
pass ready and Burns are definitely to
two guys with a lot of experience and
480
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.960
a lot of leadership. Um doesn't
make the team better, though. I'm
481
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:29.000
not completely sold on that to be
honest. Um, especially in the burn
482
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:32.119
situation, I think it's it's gonna
be really hit or miss where you could
483
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:36.960
have a bounce back season or or
things could really fall off the rails even
484
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:40.240
worse. Yeah, I think Carolina
might have just like they've had a great
485
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:45.400
team the last few years, but
they're kind of stuck in that range of
486
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:49.279
being in like the top five but
not the top two. So I think
487
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.200
maybe just trying to shift things around. Really just cross your fingers and hope
488
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.519
that it pans out slightly better,
because they haven't really been doing too much
489
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.640
wrong as of late. Yeah,
for sure, I agree with that.
490
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:05.440
Uh. Do you hear anything on
the DOBE? Well, obviously his agent
491
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.960
came out and said Pierre Luked Bois
he wants to go to Montreal, like,
492
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:13.079
I don't know why, he is
Asian straight out coming out and saying
493
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.119
that. But do you think that
Martin St Louis and the boys make it
494
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:20.760
happen? I guess. Ken Hues, yeah, I don't know. Like
495
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:27.440
they just they just traded for Curby
Doc. They signed next Suzuki to a
496
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:32.159
big contract, I guess. I
guess the jets are gonna have to trade
497
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:38.280
him because, Um, it seems
like he's just not staying in Winnipeg and
498
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:45.880
doesn't happen in Montreal. I'm not
completely sold on that just because of what
499
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:50.199
they've already added, but I do
know that the Canadians always really pushed for
500
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:55.599
having a couple of those those French
Canadians on the on the team. Um,
501
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.719
P LD is a really good player, probably the ideally a second line
502
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.280
center. I know he's looking for
like an eight times, eight times uh
503
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.360
type contract, which might be a
little bit rich. I know the jets
504
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:13.519
are gonna want a lot for him, considering they traded away their second overall
505
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:19.199
picking, Patrick Lione, for him. Um, I'm not so sure that
506
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.760
it happens this offseason. Maybe it's
a mid season trade or maybe even next
507
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:28.599
offseason, but I'm not so sold
that it's going to be Montreal, even
508
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.840
though it's agent came right out and
said he wants to go there. I
509
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:36.960
would even warrnt against that. I
don't like that play at all, saying
510
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.800
like picking one team whenever you don't
even play for them. It seems like
511
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:44.039
he's a he's a good player,
no doubt, but he hasn't had like
512
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:46.719
a superstar incredible. I don't know
if he's had like a pointy game season
513
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:51.519
or what, but going from Columbus
and then saying like give me out of
514
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:53.719
here, I'll try winnipeg, like
they've had a good team the last couple
515
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:57.599
of years, and then he shows
up and they're not so hot anymore and
516
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:00.639
now he's saying, Oh, I'm
from COVAC trade me to my hometown team,
517
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:05.199
like you're you're not that guy to
just be making those calls, man.
518
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.960
Yeah, exactly know what happened.
I agree with that. He's been
519
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:14.320
good in Columbus, good in Winnipeg, but the same thing kind of happened
520
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:20.559
in Columbus where the relationship fell apart
really early. Um He wasn't even playing
521
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.719
at the end there, where he
pretty much where he requested the trade and
522
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:28.599
then Um forced their hand by by
saying he wasn't even gonna play until he
523
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:32.599
got traded, and then the the
trade for Patrick Lyne ended up happening.
524
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.840
So hopefully something like that doesn't happen
in Winnipeg here again. But it seems
525
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:40.559
like it really does want to go
play for the for the halves there.
526
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:46.239
Yeah, I just think he could
be a problematic person to have on the
527
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:50.880
team, let alone on the ice. Yeah, it seems that way.
528
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:57.920
There's another pretty big name that's still
floating around there. Or actually, sorry,
529
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.199
no, he's not floating around anymore. Were you ever considering Malcolm going
530
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:05.559
to another team, or did you
have another destination in mind that you thought
531
00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.880
he was gonna Land? Well,
I saw a report come out that he
532
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:13.719
was going to test free agency and
then there was all that drama about Oh
533
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:16.400
um, you know, he was
texting his teammates that the penguins think he's
534
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:22.880
not good anymore or whatever, and
then I really think it was just all
535
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.719
Malkin trying to push for another year
in his contract or another couple of million
536
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:31.000
dollars, and I really don't think
he was ever going to leave the penguins.
537
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:35.440
That just wouldn't make sense. I
don't I couldn't see it happening.
538
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:38.760
I think he's retiring a penguin,
probably after these final four years on his
539
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:44.639
contract. And then Letang obviously got
the six year deal, which is pretty
540
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:49.320
crazy, but you know, you
gotta you gotta give those core pieces what
541
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:52.840
they want to guess. But for
me Malkin was always going to return.
542
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:57.760
It just didn't make sense for him
going anywhere else. Yeah, he definitely
543
00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:00.239
could have just been trying to see
what other teams would be willing to give
544
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:05.039
him and then just have a little
bit of leverage, even though his like
545
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.559
fifteen year unreal career with that team
isn't enough leverage. I don't know,
546
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:13.559
but I wouldn't even like the La
Tange deal. You could say that was
547
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:17.599
Pittsburgh doing him a favor for just
like all these years of service and stuff.
548
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:21.920
But like, if you've been so
good to that franchise, then you
549
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:23.760
should at least want them to have
a future whenever you're gone. Like,
550
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:29.039
don't just try and make it about
you and then retire like four years into
551
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:32.039
your six year deal and leave them
with no cap and no future. I
552
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:37.760
wouldn't want yeah, I I agree
with that, but honestly, Chris Letang
553
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.559
might be thinking he is going to
be playing and playing at a high level
554
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:44.599
for the next six years. I
mean he this year. He certainly didn't
555
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:46.559
look like a thirty six year old
on the ice. It was one of
556
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:51.280
the best seasons he's had in a
while. So, yeah, I see
557
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:55.159
it going south in in into three
years, for sure. But I think
558
00:38:55.159 --> 00:39:00.519
that's probably all of this penguins core
has anyways, and they don't have many
559
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:06.480
prospects at all. So once Malkin
ends up retiring, once the Tang falls
560
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.800
off the cliff, I mean I
think this team is going downhill, regardless
561
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.400
of of how many years they have
La Tang signed for. Yeah, I
562
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:20.880
wouldn't. Do you think crosby and
Malcolm retire together. I could see sids
563
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:24.719
hanging around a little longer than Malcolm, but I'm curious to hear what you
564
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:30.199
think. Yeah, I kind of
have to agree with you that Sid's probably
565
00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:34.360
gonna hang around longer. Like he
he just seems like the kind of guy
566
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:39.039
who's gonna play well into his forties
and, Um, just keep pounding out
567
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:44.280
those those great offensive seasons and doing
what he needs to do for the penguins.
568
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.440
Um, could they retire together?
It would be kind of cool,
569
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.960
I think. Um. But yeah, I kind of see Malkin returning to
570
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:58.519
the Khl at some point and then
crosby kind of saying yeah, I want
571
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.920
to keep playing for a couple more
or so. I kind of think that
572
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:06.719
draws stays a little bit longer,
just where he's been like the poster boy,
573
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:09.400
like literally the perfect hockey player,
if you were to draw him up
574
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:13.519
on a whiteboard like he's. He's
gonna Soak it in. At the end
575
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.079
he'll have his victory tour like,
I'd imagine, his last season. You'll
576
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:20.920
know that it's gonna be crosby's last
season. Maybe he'll build up brady and
577
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:24.159
resign or something, but he's just
the man. So he'll be. I
578
00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:28.079
think he'll have a nice little tour
to finish it off and you'll know at
579
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.920
the time to come. Yeah,
I think so too. All right,
580
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:36.840
we'll hit you with one major it's
pretty long question here. We got all
581
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:39.599
seven Canadian teams. Want to do
like a little rapport card on their off
582
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:45.360
season so far. I will starting
the West Day. Or do you want
583
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.280
to start in the East? I
guess you can pay. We can start
584
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:51.519
with the West. Yeah, so
Vancouver Canucks, what do you think?
585
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.719
What would you be given that?
For the off season? They didn't do
586
00:40:54.880 --> 00:41:00.599
that much. They signed Iliam mckayev
too, that big contract. Four years,
587
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.440
four point seven five per season,
I think it was. I don't
588
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:09.960
love that as someone who follows the
leaves really closely. Um, he's he's
589
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:15.960
a good four checker, he can
score the odd goal, but I mean
590
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:20.960
he scored over twenty this year.
I'd say reaching twenty again is a little
591
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:23.320
bit of a reach and I don't
know, I just have a bit of
592
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:29.280
a sense I don't have a great
sense of direction with this team. I'm
593
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.239
I don't know if I just feel
like their core is not good enough,
594
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:36.440
like Petterson and best of taking a
step back, so as Quinn Hughes,
595
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:39.400
and they're trying to build around these
players that, honestly, I don't think
596
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:44.840
it's a good enough core to compete, and so they just kind of continue
597
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:50.119
to signed depth players too, big
contracts around them and they're just not good
598
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:52.880
enough to compete. And I don't
think Iliam mckayev moves the needle either.
599
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:58.079
So I love to see if I
love to see if they make another move.
600
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:02.559
But I mean right now I say
I don't like this canucks offseason whatsoever.
601
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:06.960
I love that the first thing you
said about mckaye is that he's a
602
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:09.480
good four checker. I think that's
a sign of maybe it wasn't the best
603
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:16.039
signing for five million years. But
yeah, it seems like their core is
604
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:20.679
made up of guys that you would
want to get to add on to your
605
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.280
core. Like that one actually that
you're missing, like if Petterson went to
606
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:27.440
Carolina, then maybe he could be
that extra piece for them, but he's
607
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:30.440
not the guy that you want to
at the very center of it to bring
608
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:35.320
you guys around. No, I'd
agree. And then also jt Miller on
609
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:39.000
his last year of his contract,
I feel like you have to move him
610
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:44.000
like you had a career season.
You could really get some assets back for
611
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:46.880
him, but it seems like they
don't want to trade him and I don't
612
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:50.559
know, I just kind of feel
like his value is going to go down
613
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:54.800
from fear. Um. And Yeah, I just feel like there's a bit
614
00:42:54.840 --> 00:43:01.320
of a a bad sense of direction
here with this management team. Yeah,
615
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:07.960
so, like the report something like
that, I give them a deed,
616
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:13.440
just just fairly passing so far.
Yeah, what about the end to the
617
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.760
oilers? Okay, yeah, so
they finally got their goaltender. I've been
618
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:22.960
waiting for them to sign a goalie
for years and years. Finally they're getting
619
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:28.960
away from Mike Smith and and Miko
Koskin. And I'm not sold at Jack
620
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:31.440
Campbell's the guy. I liked him
in Toronto at times, but I also
621
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:36.800
didn't like him at at other times. He's pretty much been a career backup
622
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:42.199
who the past two seasons was thrown
into a starting gig. And so is
623
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.920
that Guy gonna gonna push them over
the top? I'm not so sure.
624
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:50.599
Um, I didn't really make any
improvements to the Blue Line. That resigned
625
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:54.280
Brett Kulak. Brought in a couple
of depth guys like Mattis Yawn Mark.
626
00:43:54.880 --> 00:44:00.119
So I guess their big move was
Jack Campbell. Um, I'm not sure
627
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.679
they really could have made any any
other moves. So, I mean they
628
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:07.559
got a goalie at least, so
I'm going to give them at least to
629
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:12.599
be although I'm still not sold on
the Blue Line and I'm still not sold
630
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:16.119
on on what's happening in that.
Do you think there was another goalie available
631
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:20.679
that they should have gone after other
than Jack came? Well, that's that's
632
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:22.480
the issue, I guess, is
I don't know who that would have been.
633
00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:29.639
Like there is somebody, like the
top guys were Kemper Campbell, who's
634
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:34.400
so, and I mean who'sso,
has played whatever sixty games in the NHL
635
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.079
and his career. So I'm not
sure that that's the greatest bet as a
636
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:42.480
contender either. And then Kemper is
getting up there in age and an injury
637
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:46.119
history as well. So Campbell might
have just been the best option out there
638
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:51.079
and at least they found somebody.
Yeah, that's I like that. I
639
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:53.760
like that great. Yeah, because
they're a team that shouldn't have gone as
640
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:58.480
far as they did, but they
have unbelievable players. That said, we
641
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:00.159
don't care that our team isn't good
enough. We can get this far,
642
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.880
but I think a goalie could have
pushed them over the edge, especially watching
643
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.440
that Calgary series. It was the
most ridiculous thing in that I've ever seen
644
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:13.079
both ways. But yeah, they
needed a goalie that could come in and
645
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:15.639
be like a mcdavid and dry sidle
and carry the oilers. But I don't
646
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:22.000
think they go exactly. I mean
I think Um, I think Campbell has
647
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:24.079
a chance to be that guy.
I mean I think he's giving them a
648
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:29.199
better chance than Mike Smith and MICO
coskin and could, but I don't know
649
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:32.440
if he's that guy who finally carries
mcdavid dry sidle to a top. But
650
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:39.840
I don't necessarily see that. Yeah, we'll move down south to or is
651
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:44.079
it? Is it south of vent? I don't even know. We were
652
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:53.960
not so calgary flames draw. So
yeah, and I didn't didn't really make
653
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:59.400
any big signings other than that.
Yet I think they're still pushing for caudry.
654
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:04.119
So maybe it's a bit of a
bit of an incomplete grade. Although
655
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.519
definitely losing one of the best players
in the league, you have to give
656
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:12.880
them probably an F I guess I
mean they went from. They went from
657
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:15.800
one of the I guess you could
say the best team in the Pacific Division.
658
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:22.119
Two, are they even a playoff
team anymore, especially with teams around
659
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:27.239
them getting better? Um, I
just feel like losing goodreaux and now the
660
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:31.480
uncertainty about Matthew Kit Chuck two.
And I think people forget that this team
661
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:37.639
was, um, what was like
a playoff bubble team the last couple of
662
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:42.280
years before they finally took the step
this year. But but I still really
663
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.079
do like Darryl Sutter. There is
the coach. I think he gets the
664
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:49.159
best out of whatever, whatever group
he's given. But Um, yeah,
665
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:52.199
I mean losing goodreaux and not really
replacing him. He can't get much,
666
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:57.559
much better than than a failing mark
there. Yeah, they needed two on
667
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:00.400
the exam and cadre is not going
to be that. Yeah, exactly.
668
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:05.960
Ye, over to the east,
I didn't. Yeah, well, Winnipeg
669
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:12.119
jets, remember, Canada? Winnipeg
jets. Um, I feel like I'm
670
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:17.679
pretty negative about the Canadian teams here, but that's the didn't do too much,
671
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.199
you know, they didn't. Um, they signed David Riddick as their
672
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:25.679
backup goalie. I think that was
their biggest signing. I think it was
673
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:30.679
their only signing on July thirteen,
and I think this is a team that
674
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:36.800
really needed to add especially up front, and they didn't add anything. So
675
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:39.760
I've got to say a failing great
for the jets as well. They haven't
676
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:44.400
dealt with Um. All the talk
to the off season is they're going to
677
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:46.719
change up the core. They're either
gonna move to wall or Shife Lee or
678
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:52.599
wheeler. None of that's happened.
There hasn't been any additions around them.
679
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.599
So for me this is a jets
team that was on the rise for a
680
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:59.960
while and even last season I had
a little bit of hope that they'd be
681
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:05.119
turning things around, but it's it
really hasn't worked out for them this this
682
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:07.519
past season and this offseason has been
a mess for me as well. I
683
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:13.360
just I don't quite understand what they're
trying to do here. Yeah, they're
684
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:16.199
playing a patient game, kind of
where they shouldn't be. They gotta make
685
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:21.480
a lot of moves and that expect
they kind of losing. buffling was a
686
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:25.280
big thing that, even though that
was a while ago, like that're gonna
687
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:31.599
change a lot. Who was there? One signing? There David David.
688
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:39.679
Thank you. Yes, Um,
I guess we're going east now. It
689
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:50.800
gets a little bit better here with
Toronto. Yeah, I'm pretty yeah,
690
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:53.519
I'm not too sure. Like,
they didn't, they didn't make any bad
691
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:59.519
moves necessarily, I think, how
close they were up against the cap they
692
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:02.159
could own they do so much.
Um, I like that they didn't have
693
00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:06.199
to commit term to a goalie,
but I don't know if if Marie and
694
00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:09.159
Samson and over are going to be
the guys. Um, I still think
695
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:15.559
they need some depth scoring up front. So it wasn't a failure of an
696
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:19.639
off season. I mean for Toronto
it's kind of an incomplete it's it's what
697
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:23.599
happens in the first round of the
playoffs and and until we know what happens
698
00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:28.960
there, I just have a hard
time giving them Um, giving them that
699
00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:31.920
much of a greed until I see
how this team ends up ends up playing.
700
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:36.960
Yeah, they have they have some
they have a crucial year coming up
701
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:39.440
with the time for them the place
of clock chockey. So they should be
702
00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:45.199
and without straying away from the main
question here, it seems like the problem
703
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:49.760
with the leaves in the off season
every year is no space. If you
704
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:53.719
could go back with Willie Nielander in
that whole Sweden situation, or even like
705
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:58.679
the Marino Matthews contracts? Would you
do anything differently to make the future,
706
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:02.679
like right now easier? Well,
I think the I think the knee ladder
707
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:07.639
contracts pretty team friendly now, like
around seven million bucks. I don't think
708
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:13.760
that's that bad for one of your
best players. MARNER's a lot up there,
709
00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:15.920
around eleven million, so is Matthews, but I mean there's some of
710
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:22.719
the best players in the league there. Um, what would I have changed
711
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:25.599
anything with those two? I don't
think so. The Tavares signing is looking
712
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:31.199
worse and worse every year, although
when you have an opportunity to bring in
713
00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:35.360
a guy like John Tavarus, I
don't think you can pass up on it,
714
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:38.239
um. But yeah, it just
has an aged too well and and
715
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:42.639
if anything that's kind of been a
bit of a downfall of the team rather
716
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:45.920
than rather than the big three.
I think just tavrus not quite being that
717
00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:49.519
you know, he hasn't been one
of the best players in the League for
718
00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:52.199
a while now, and and paying
him eleven million dollars to do so.
719
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:58.360
I think is is really hindering this
team quite a bit. And that first
720
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.559
year it was pretty good, like
like forty goal season or whatever. Since
721
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:07.079
then he dropped off big time.
Yeah, for sure. All right,
722
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:10.079
so the rankings might get a little
bit higher here when we ship it over
723
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:15.920
to Ottawa. Yeah, I mean
Ottawa. I'm waiting to see about that
724
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:21.079
defenseman. Like I said before,
I heard Mackenzie Wager from Florida bit.
725
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:24.760
I think that would be a huge
addition. I think I really love wager.
726
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:29.239
I think he's one. I think
if Florida where to let him go,
727
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:32.679
that would be um, that would
be concerning for them. But if
728
00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:36.960
if aught over to end up with
him, I'd have to give them an
729
00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:40.360
a plus for sure. Right now, maybe, maybe just an a,
730
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:45.199
waiting for that final move here,
but in terms of how much they built
731
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:50.400
up this team into, Um,
a team that I'm expecting to be fighting
732
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.519
for a wild card spot. It's
it's been a it's been a pretty crazy
733
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:59.199
offseason for them. Yeah, I
love it to see the sins pushing forward.
734
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:04.119
They do need a defenseman for Shababa
can't be doing all the work back
735
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:07.039
there. He is a he is
a workhorse, but can't do for them
736
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:12.239
to convince someone like drew to come
home and sign with the senators. I
737
00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:15.599
was, I was really impressed about
that. I mean the senators aren't exactly
738
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:21.400
a team who's who have attracted free
agents either in recent years. And for
739
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:23.440
for them to convince drew that,
yeah, we're a team on the rise
740
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:27.159
and by the end of that this
this contract, we're going to be a
741
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:30.920
contender, I mean I think that's
a pretty that's a pretty good move by
742
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.559
them. Yeah, for any team
to go out and get like to like,
743
00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:38.239
without a doubt, NHL Superstars in
one off season is like you don't
744
00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:43.679
see that, like not very,
very rarely. No, for sure.
745
00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:46.719
It's definitely. Out of the Canadian
teams, the Senators have done the best
746
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:52.639
this offseason. Yeah, the last
one here with Montreal Canadians. They they
747
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:57.559
didn't do too too bad either.
They I guess their first over, I'll
748
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.599
pick, helps them, if you
want to count that as a but big
749
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:04.320
time. Yeah, I've I've liked
what they've done. I've I've really liked
750
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:07.519
what Kent Hughes has done since he
took over for Mark Berge van Um.
751
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:12.559
As much as they had just an
awful year last year. I think they
752
00:53:12.599 --> 00:53:15.000
probably shouldn't have even made the playoffs
the year they made the cup final and
753
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:21.239
Um, things just really fell about
after that. But I think they're building
754
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:24.679
up the right way. They've got
Suzuki and Cawfield and now dock and some
755
00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:30.960
guys in the back end as well. Um, little disappointed they gave up
756
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:37.199
on Alexander Romanov so early, but
at the same time I think Kirby docks
757
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:42.000
worth that bad to give up on
Romanov. I hope they can find another
758
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:46.239
defense and I like that they chipped
off Jeff Petrie there Um got a little
759
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:52.320
bit back and returned for him.
So I think it's been a good offseason
760
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:55.239
for the Canadians. They haven't,
like, made a huge free agent splash
761
00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:59.719
to try and be competitive next year. They're they're kind of playing it so
762
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:04.239
getting some young players. So I
like what the Canadians have done and not
763
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:07.639
I'll have to give them a B
or a B plus for sure. Yeah,
764
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:09.119
it seems like they had a bit
of a different approach, not hunting
765
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:14.599
for the big names but hunting for
the potential big names that could really exactly.
766
00:54:14.679 --> 00:54:16.239
Yeah, I think it was the
right way to approach it to a
767
00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:20.679
lot of teams try and rush it
like like you could say Ottawa, maybe
768
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:23.559
would by we'll actually do because to
bring that so young. But a lot
769
00:54:23.559 --> 00:54:28.480
of teams were trying and skip the
whole rebuilding phase get these two players that
770
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:30.519
don't make the whole difference, but
I think where they're kind of kind of
771
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:35.360
a Vancouver situation there, like you're
talking about. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
772
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:38.719
Yeahah, I love the Montreal many, Sick Finny. Look Cavia.
773
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:44.039
They're trying to build two thousand four. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, two
774
00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:47.639
thousand four lightning team again, they're
running it back. Exactly. No,
775
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.639
especially when you look at the division
like we've talked about. I mean there's
776
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:57.760
there's not a lot of room for
them to uh, to move their way
777
00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:00.639
up. So I think buildings slow
and kind of waiting for things to shake
778
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:06.320
out Um above them is probably the
right way to approach things. Yeah,
779
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:09.119
I agree. Have you made it
to the end? Yeah, I think
780
00:55:09.159 --> 00:55:14.280
this is the end. We'll get
your Stanley Cup pick for next year.
781
00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:20.559
We'll probably talk to you before the
Stanley Cup early, early. I haven't
782
00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:24.559
even thought about it yet, like
normally I at least think about it.
783
00:55:24.719 --> 00:55:29.239
Um, I'll have to get it
to you the next time we chat,
784
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:32.320
because I haven't even put a thought
into it yet. I mean I wouldn't
785
00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:37.679
be surprised if Colorado goes back to
back. That that core is just just
786
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:40.960
too good, is do I have
a wild card off the top of my
787
00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:50.559
head? I don't know. I
like Carolina to finally put things together.
788
00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:53.760
Maybe Brent Burns and Max Patch Grande, but have a huge year and and
789
00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:58.400
Carolina does it. So I don't
know. I kind of have to stick
790
00:55:58.440 --> 00:56:01.320
with with either the avalanche or the
or the hurricanes, but I'll get back
791
00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:05.440
to you on my on my real
pick next time, next time we talk.
792
00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:07.599
Yeah, I like it. I
got one more, since it's still
793
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:12.920
relevant and it won't be the next
time that we talked. Matthews over mcdavid
794
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:15.079
for those two major awards. Do
you agree? As a leash fan?
795
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:21.840
I do for this year. Um, I think matthews was just crazy and
796
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:24.599
the goal scoring that he put up
you just don't see anymore. I mean
797
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:29.960
we haven't seen a sixty goal season
and over ten years. So for me
798
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:32.480
you had to give it to him
just how special that season was. I
799
00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:37.440
think he took a step as a
defensive player as well and I just don't
800
00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:43.599
think mcdavid's quite taken that that leap
is a defensive player yet. So for
801
00:56:43.639 --> 00:56:46.519
me it had to be Matthews this
year, for both of them. I
802
00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:51.320
like it that. That actually makes
me feel better about it. Now you're
803
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:54.320
you're making sense, especially how happy
that mcdavid got the kind of the last
804
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:58.280
laugh in the playoffs and got to
show that he can take a team.
805
00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:05.599
Yeah, if Matthews those regular season
awards for that, well, thanks for
806
00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:08.480
joining us. Man. It's been
on real but he never disappoints and no
807
00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:15.159
one knows this stuff. Go follow
NHL discussion if you want to know every
808
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:17.320
single thing that's going on in the
league. Keep a heart beat pulse on
809
00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:22.639
there. I love it. Sure
thanks. Thanks for having me, guys,
810
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:27.679
and hopefully we can chat again and, Oh yeah, I catch you
811
00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:28.400
later. Every
1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.240
All right, gay boys, we're
back. It's table buzz. We're here
2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:09.880
with NHL Discussion Anthony Jacob. We
had him on a previous episode. Yeah,
3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.720
this guy is an absolute Whiz,
a wealth of knowledge, fountain of
4
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:20.960
what would you even say? Fountain
of Information, of Wealth, Fountain of
5
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.559
now we we had a little hiatus
of people here in the pod. We
6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.760
are hiatus of time. We were
off for one or two weeks from guests,
7
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.119
but this is a perfect guest to
kick it off with the craziness of
8
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.840
the NHL. We're gonna sit here
and talk a few minutes. We've been
9
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.719
busy. I'm doing lots. Our
weekends are weird. Our weekends are now
10
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.320
Wednesday and Thursday. That's our Saturday
Sunday, just the way that it's been
11
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.960
working out. We had a machine
gun Kelly concert on a Wednesday two weeks
12
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.719
ago. That was unreal. But
then our Sunday just turns into the Thursday
13
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.600
and then we get two weekends a
week. It's pretty, pretty weak.
14
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.840
It's cool, but last Wednesday,
where'd we go? Rich US Wednesday where
15
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.760
we're at the pink Whitney party business, Great Canadian expedition. Not's time.
16
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.000
We got to meet Biz. We
were talking to BIS for probably five minutes
17
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.200
the whole night. Every time Biz
walked by, just be like me with
18
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.319
the boys at peaks. I'd be
like Ot, a boy like Fran walking
19
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.439
by and he just give the boys. Yeah. So, like it was
20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:25.359
pretty cool. Experienced lots of free
prink Whitney around, got to drink hoynoons.
21
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:26.760
So the first time, shout out, Dave Board or you're the man.
22
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.879
What were your thoughts on a job? This was being such a beauty.
23
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.719
Didn't really know what he was gonna
be like when he showed up and
24
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.480
stuff, or how the whole thing
was going to be run or whatever,
25
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.680
but run the boys got sewered on
our way there. So basically, all
26
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.760
right, story from the beginning.
We see this post that business doing this
27
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.400
meeting grade in Toronto. We're like, wicked, that's unreal. We'll have
28
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.280
to try and get to that.
Like twelve hours later, that same day,
29
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.040
Fran Sanchez sends us the same post
that we saw and we were like
30
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.280
okay, cool, but the someone
was from Canadian party life. So I
31
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.359
clicked on and I was like yeah, like I already seen that, but
32
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.920
I gave him like the All oh
that's sick man. At the bottom it
33
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.039
says email this email address. First
Three people get on the list, so
34
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.439
we did that immediately. So thank
you, Fran. We got on the
35
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.479
list. We show up and we
know we have to be there for seven
36
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:22.199
thirty. We had rented these bikes
for the whole day. That just you,
37
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.000
buzz in, buzz out. They
were giving us issues and then we
38
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.759
go to get on them and sure
enough, like the card wasn't working whatever.
39
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.000
We couldn't get our bikes. So
we're forty five minute walk away from
40
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.120
this budweiser stage. It's not like
downtown, downtown. It's a little more
41
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.960
seven twelve. When we look the
first bike stup we get to it's like
42
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.879
seven twelve, I think. Yeah, and we were like ship like.
43
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.759
We like the bikes would have gotten
us there on time, like no problem.
44
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.879
That's what we were planning around.
But, like we were in trouble.
45
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.719
We had to get there. So
the boys just legged three and a
46
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.599
half kilometers twenty minutes. No problem, I don't even need to talk about
47
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.000
it. Like whatever, we're in
the bag. We get there, no
48
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.879
security, nothing, no line,
like we could have showed up probably eight
49
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.039
o'clock and it wouldn't have made a
difference. But we get there. They're
50
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.879
giving us free paint, quitney shots
and stuff like that. Biz shows up
51
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.319
being a beauty. Got To talk
to him, just taking pictures with everyone.
52
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.159
He wasn't being like the celebrity there, even though everyone was treating him
53
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.400
like that, just swarming him.
But it was sick. He wasn't.
54
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.479
He didn't let the boy dawn.
He didn't let the boys damn big time.
55
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.439
We were showing up bagged and we
were like this better be worth it
56
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.879
and like with it. Whatever it
was, it was sick. Hopefully we're
57
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.360
in his youtube. We have a
nice little shot. He's smoking a J
58
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.520
and we get up behind him flashing
the Merch and stuff, and he turns
59
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.680
around. He's like these boys coming
from the top rope. So we're hoping
60
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.520
that makes the youtube be huge.
We also vlogged the whole day, so
61
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.319
that's up on our youtube right now. You can see all the nonsense we
62
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.199
got up too, because there was
quite a lot of it. Came pretty
63
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.719
good buddies with spitting chickle to me
memes. Yeah, we met him at
64
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.680
the time. Actually, this is
funny because chicklets fans will know now rick
65
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.319
from red deer is the person.
So we're rick from red deer's just chilling
66
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.039
there. We didn't just look like
an average dude. Me and Josh are
67
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.439
talking to him and like Josh is
like so why are you here? and
68
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.519
Rick from red deer's like Oh,
my friends like his memes, like chicklets
69
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.959
memes. Josh doesn't know who chicklets
memes is and I'm like Holy Shit,
70
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.519
like he's memes is across the room
and I just I was like I said
71
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.720
to rick from red deer. I
was like get him over here, and
72
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.560
he's like okay, but I was
like yeah, memes, get over here.
73
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:39.800
memes was a beauty me. He
wants to come on the POD.
74
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.879
We got to reach out to him
again. He said to take his pod
75
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.360
V card, but I'm he was
a beauty. He made the night sick
76
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.920
too. Yeah, big time.
I had not known who he was beforehand.
77
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.360
became a fan of him. By
me, I mean he was great
78
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:58.519
dude, big handlebar mustache was dope. So that was kind of it for
79
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.279
that night. We ran into him
as he was leaving like rich side.
80
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.519
Hopefully we're in that video. got
a free t shirt too. It was
81
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:11.160
it was just a sick time.
Then we had earlier that day. We've
82
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.120
been making these prank fits and you
may or may not have seen them on
83
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:18.240
our instagram, UH and YouTube.
I guess this MF sparks guy. There's
84
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:24.079
a little podcast we tried to do
outside on the street, on Bay Street
85
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.680
where we live, over by Nathan
Phillips Square, and while we're doing it,
86
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.199
this guy pulls up and he was
he was like are you guys creators?
87
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.399
And then he stops right there and
he's this pokemon guy and he was
88
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.160
like you can answer this triviute question, like I'll give you this pack of
89
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.279
pokemon cards. We're like okay.
So we hook up with this guy to
90
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.319
go film some videos in public,
like eating ship out of diapers, like.
91
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.480
Well, one of the first one
we did he brought his kid.
92
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.519
He had a little we had a
real life baby that was actually like making
93
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.600
noises and stuff. That was pretty
like okay, and then the next one
94
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.160
we did, we meet him.
We had to bike there. That was
95
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.439
the day of the Pink Whitney Party
and it was just the prank was kind
96
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.079
of weird. Yeah, he was
trying to get me to go up and
97
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.120
like just ask someone for directions and
then he would come up and be like
98
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.199
Yo, like why are you talking
to my girl, Bro and then I
99
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.639
would just slap him across the face
and knock him out. He would fall
100
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.800
and he would fall like very flamboyantly. Yeah, so that was fun.
101
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.600
He was an interesting guy. Definitely
not shy at all, like just screaming,
102
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.480
like he was yelling at girls like
Jessica, like yeah, but hey,
103
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:41.079
that's our that's our collab experience here. Yeah, we've been going to
104
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.800
a lot of Jay's games. Obviously
lots of Jay's stuff happening. Six all
105
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.199
stairs at the all stair game home
underby last night j Rod Rodriguez, one
106
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.360
year old. He's a little bit
older than me. He hit thirty two
107
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.600
dingers in his first round, which
is the second most ever. I can't
108
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.639
tell you the first most ever is, but it is indeed the second most
109
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.120
ever, which is nuts. It
was Alonso of the year before with thirty
110
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.480
five, defanging champ, who he
knocked off in the second round. Not
111
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.120
a big deal, but other than
that, the boys just got into F
112
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.079
one. The whole sport is sick. It's kind of taken over like North
113
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.519
America and Netflix and all that,
so we figured we'd try and learn a
114
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:27.079
bit about it. It's it is
not sport. Uh. What really got
115
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.319
me into it though. So when
we went to that golf tournament, someone
116
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.120
said I looked like Max for stapping. That's the start of it all,
117
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:42.480
and he's not wrong. Like there's
a striking resemblance between this people. People
118
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.480
are saying like I actually get like
glowing reviews of me being Max for Stappen,
119
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.759
like don't even mention it on anything. And then a chicken tender the
120
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.360
other day. Yeah, like I
don't even know it in my bio and
121
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.680
like three or four people have said
that. So it has to happen.
122
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.360
Me and Max have to meet up. Max will come in this pot someday.
123
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.839
I've been thinking about buying a full
red bull uniform and just rocking it
124
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.480
places, seeing if people actually think
I'm Max. I have to wear shades,
125
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.240
I think, is the thing,
because my eyes aren't like yeah,
126
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.839
you don't have those Dutch eyes,
but I can. I have his accent
127
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.920
down pretty good, like a you
know. But I'm excited for it.
128
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.519
I don't know who wouldn't be.
Yeah, we'll be watching. I'm a
129
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.840
big F one guy. Now you
like Max is my only favorite player,
130
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.679
obviously your favorite racer, but I
like Lando, Lando school, because Max
131
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.200
Sucks about having him on his jet
all the time and stuff. So and
132
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:50.200
he's like twenty two, living it
up. The MLB ALL STAR Game.
133
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.440
Josh, yeah, it's coming up
tonight. You pumped? Yeah, I'm
134
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.679
pumped to see if the MLB all
star game is. Baseball is weird for
135
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.600
having an all star game like the
NBA All Star game, like everyone's like
136
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.120
scoring the whole time and like making
plays and stuff, but this one is
137
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:11.559
like the closest to a real games
can actually it's the best pictures, the
138
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.120
best hitters. They lave, they
leave one over the play a little bit
139
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.360
too much, it's going to be
a home run. But if they're throwing
140
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.159
their normal stuff that got them to
the All Star game, they're probably gonna
141
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.840
it's probably gonna be a low scoring
game. Yeah, if it is tied
142
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:31.559
after nine tonight, they're doing a
three Um three hitter swing off. Now
143
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.279
you told me that yesterday and then
I was like, oh, that's cool,
144
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.960
but then I was like, how
is that going to work? Would
145
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.360
that not just be like extra innings, like three hitters? Or like they're
146
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.879
gonna be like it's like a home
run derby to hit a dinger, not
147
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.799
just like Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, there won't be any fielders,
148
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.759
but I assume it will be like
the closers. Or maybe they'll just
149
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.759
give them soft pitches. I don't
know. Yeah, if I don't,
150
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.840
I don't know, we'll have to
see. Maybe if it comes, I
151
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.000
feel like it will definitely be soft
pitches. Actually, yeah, if they're
152
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.879
doing a home run derby, like
like Vladi can't just come up and hit
153
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.480
a digger every time, but that's
I think that's what the point of it
154
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:16.240
is to be like Oh, flatty, or like show hey Otani or Aaron
155
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.840
judge earning the home run Derby,
but like, yeah, they'll do this
156
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.519
sequence of the home run derby kind
of thing. I like it. I
157
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.720
like the love the call. For
sure, Jordan Romano Probably gonna Pitch Tonight
158
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.639
too. Let's hope it gets an
inning in there or an outer or two.
159
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.840
Be Awesome. Yeah, it should
be a fun game to watch,
160
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.799
especially where all star Games are all
offense, for this when you get to
161
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.679
see like the showcase of the defense, because pictures have like the biggest they're
162
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.279
like the goaliean hockey, but in
the All Star game you don't really care
163
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.480
about the goalies. You just want
to see them like rip on them.
164
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.240
You do care about the pictures.
Tonight, we the starters are Kershaw for
165
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.840
the NL at at Dodger Stadium.
He's pretty pumped about his first all star
166
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.799
Star ever, and Um for the
A l. We got shot Shane mcclunahan,
167
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.240
lahnd Shane mcclanahan from New York,
Tampa Bay Ray. I said it's
168
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.600
got shot Shane mcclunahan, McLean Hahn. There you go, the current MLB
169
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:22.159
strikeout leader. anyways, sit back
and relax, enjoy this NHL discussions.
170
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:28.600
Josh has some pretty fun takes here
for his Um NHL. It's back.
171
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.519
It's crazy NHL discussion film us all
in thanks, Anthony, for joining us.
172
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.679
Enjoy it. Quick disclaimer. Your
boy kind of messed up hitting the
173
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.879
record button at the very beginning.
So we covered the NHL entry draft.
174
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.080
Basically his thoughts on Shane Wright slipping
down where he had Slavkovsky pegged. This
175
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.519
is number one. He was thinking
that Montreal was going to take him and
176
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.919
he was pretty sure that New Jersey
was going for a defenseman, so he
177
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:03.440
wasn't surprised to see NMG taken second
overall, and then after that it was
178
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.720
all pretty close. So He Arizona. Just love Coolie, he thought.
179
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:11.279
So. He wasn't surprised about the
slip. Table Buzz Merch is off until

199
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.600
Let's get back to the pot.
What about your leaves? There? They
200
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.600
picked up a goalie, Matt Murray. What are your what are your thoughts
201
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.039
on their situation right now? Well, I think, Um, the key
202
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.360
to Matt Murray was that he's on
a two year term, Um, and
203
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.360
the cap it's pretty high. It's
four point six nine or something for Matt
204
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.519
Murray for the next two years with
the salary retained. But Um, it's
205
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.240
only two two years, and they
would have had it to commit five if
206
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.240
they were to sign Jack Campbell or
Darcy Kemper, which I think were there
207
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:13.720
other two goaltending targets and I think
with Um Campbell, Campbell's inconsistent play this
208
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.440
past season, and even Kemper.
I know he won the Stanley Cup,
209
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.399
but he was a little shaky at
times with the avalanche as well. I
210
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.840
just don't think they were willing to
commit five years to a goaltender WHO's already
211
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:30.320
into his thirties. And Yeah,
it's it's a risk getting Matt Murray,
212
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.200
for sure. I mean he hasn't
been Matt Murray of old for like three
213
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:39.080
or four years now already, if
not more. And I mean you get
214
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:45.759
another backup option there in Sam Sonov, who again somebody who was one of
215
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.960
the best goaltending prospects in the world
only a couple of years ago. Things
216
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.960
haven't really worked out in Washington.
It's two really huge bets for the leaves
217
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.240
there and Net and I mean if
if it doesn't work out there, they're
218
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.600
really on the hook because you're not
going to be getting rid of that five
219
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.879
million dollar Matt Murray very easily if
he has another bad season. So I
220
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.679
think the leaves are really going to
live and die on this, on this
221
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.240
Matt Murray, uh, Matt Murray
Bett, and honestly, maybe the whole
222
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.080
management crew. Like if Matt Murray
doesn't work out and they can't get rid
223
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.759
of that contract, that wouldn't be
surprised if that's the end of Kyle dubis
224
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.600
or Brendan Shanahan's tenure Um. Yeah, so it's it's a critical move for
225
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.200
them to get right. Yeah,
this season the least jobs are definitely on
226
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.559
the line. I think it's it's
time to push past the first round and
227
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.519
really makes some damage in the eastern
conference. I'm not saying like they're gonna
228
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.159
expect, like everyone might expect,
to go out and win a Stanley Cup,
229
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.000
but at least make it to like
the conference finals and really show that
230
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.960
you're the team least you know.
They have gotten unlucky with their matchups and
231
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.039
stuff, whereas like if they could
have just got out of the first round,
232
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.799
then it looks promising to go a
little further. But you got to
233
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.080
be able to knock off those teams. Well, exactly, and I mean
234
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:06.360
this year I wasn't quite as as
disappointed. I mean they lost to tap,
235
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.879
a bay of the backs Back Cup
Champs. You ended up making it
236
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.200
there again, but at the end
of the day, I mean if you
237
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:17.039
can't beat you can't win a cup
if you can't beat like a tapper or
238
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.960
whatever. And it doesn't matter if
it's in round one or round four,
239
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:23.679
if you can't beat them and you
can't win a cup. But Um,
240
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:30.320
yeah, this is this is such
a critical year for them and they lost
241
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.679
some guys up front. They lost
mackayev, they lost casha and they didn't
242
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:40.360
really add too much upfront. They
added Abe Kubel, they added God debt,
243
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.840
they added Yarn CROC. None of
those guys exactly are goal scorers.
244
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.919
So Um, I'm worried about the
scoring depth. I'm worrying about I'm worried
245
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:53.840
about the goaltending and for once,
maybe the defense is the most stabilizing part
246
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:59.080
of the team. But you got
to keep Pierre Angle. Like things got
247
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.600
to be looking up. Yeah,
yeah, I guess so sweedes are staying
248
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.279
around. Did it? Did it
staying at all watching cadre these playoffs?
249
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.440
Um, yeah, especially that ot
winner with his broken hand or whatever,
250
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.799
but I don't know, I'm happy
for the guy. I always liked him
251
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.039
on the leaves. He was,
he's always been, a great second line
252
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:25.400
center. I know someone's really gonna
overpay him Um, give him nine ten
253
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.880
million dollars and he's gonna be back
to sixty point Naz and padre and it's
254
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.160
gonna turn out to be a bad
contract. But yeah, he he looked
255
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.319
really good this whole season on the
playoff run, so I'm happy for the
256
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.279
guy. So what do you think
that? Who Do you think that team
257
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:48.839
is it's going to give him that
contract? I really don't know it.
258
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.559
It's such a tough one to to
pick, especially with so many teams so
259
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.279
closely up against the CAP. I
guess you kind of have to look at
260
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.799
teams who missed out on good drow
maybe, like I'd be looking at,
261
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.839
first of all, the flames.
I don't really know if that's best.
262
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.559
Definitely the flames would be in on
that. I could see Lou La Morello
263
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.759
and the New York islanders getting into
that. I know they really wanted to
264
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:18.119
make a push for Goo Drou and
it never happened. Um. But then
265
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.319
again, either way he's gonna be
slotting into that second line center role.
266
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.400
He's in his thirties. It sounds
like it's gonna be a long term deal
267
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.400
in the nine million dollar range,
and it just seems like a lot of
268
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:36.319
money for for a guy who's probably
going downhill after this career season. Yeah,
269
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.480
he had his moment at the summer. We'll stay in the Ontario region,
270
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.000
though, because the Ottawa senders made
some heat moves here in the playoff,
271
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.880
crazy moves. They're not in the
playoffs, sorry. After the draft,
272
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.799
pretty much they got to bring at
Talbot and then they signed drew,
273
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.960
going from one of the worst teams
in the league over to look in like
274
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:02.519
a contender. Yeah, I know
the editors had had a crazy offseason and
275
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.640
they're finally pushing the pace. I
think they still need a defenseman. It's
276
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:10.559
the key there. Um, I
think they need someone to support Thomas Tabot
277
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.799
back there. I think Gat here
a little week after that. But I
278
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:17.319
mean up front, what a top
six they have now adding drew and to
279
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.759
break at in there. You already
have Josh Noris, Drake Bath Hoson,
280
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.400
Matt Brady gets shocked, Tim Stutzla. That top six is going to be
281
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.839
lethal this here for sure. So
I think this. I think the senators
282
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.279
on the rise. Really their season
is gonna depend on how that defense goes,
283
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.240
how Cam Talbot plays, who they
brought in. But in terms of
284
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.400
how many goals this team is going
to score and how exciting it's gonna be
285
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.759
to watch. It's gonna be a
really exciting team, which is something that
286
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.960
we haven't seen from the senators since
those Eric Carlson days. Yeah, it
287
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.759
should be a back in the Hamburgler. Yeah, exactly. Are they getting
288
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:02.480
a new arena anytime soon too?
I thought think we were not that aware
289
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:07.160
of no, yeah, but yeah, we'll have to see about that.
290
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.720
I know there's been talks about it, but I'm not I'm not sure anything
291
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:15.680
is confirmed yet. Sans are definitely
something to keep your eye on this season.
292
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.400
Hopefully that will boost their attendance.
But I guess the big thing for
293
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.559
the senators, though, is like
what team in the Atlantic do they knock
294
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:27.319
off? Because you've got the least
Lightening Bruins Panthers. So which of those
295
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:33.960
teams would you guys think they could
potentially on seat? The bruins are always
296
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.200
kind of a question mark, especially
with their core getting older and Burr's around,
297
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.599
coming back for one more year.
I'm not super dialed in on how
298
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.599
many moves they've made after the draft, but I feel like they're always hit
299
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.039
or miss. For me at least. Yeah, I I could see the
300
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.079
bruins taking a bit of a step
back. I know they have a bunch
301
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.359
of injuries as well, like I
think Mars Shawn might be out till at
302
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.039
least Christmas or something. I think
there's a couple other of them to you.
303
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:06.200
Obviously Bergeron still hasn't signed a contract
that I'm expecting him to return at
304
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:10.279
least for this season, but until
he signs that contract you can't guarantee it.
305
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.440
So yeah, I could see the
bruins taking a step back. Leaves
306
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.319
maybe a bit of a step back, but I don't think they've got that
307
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.079
much worse that they're gonna miss the
playoffs this season or anything. And the
308
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.839
same with the lightning. Lost some
death pieces again, but they're the lightning.
309
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.920
They're making the playoffs. Same with
the path theres. So as much
310
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.160
as you could say the senators have
improved a ton, it's it's gonna be
311
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.279
tough for them to unseat anybody there
in the Atlantic Division. Yeah, they're
312
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.680
the new guys who have to be
clicking pretty good to be able to compete
313
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.680
right off the bat at least.
Yeah, for sure, Patty kines has
314
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.960
come up in a lot of discussions
here lately like he's he might be on
315
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.279
the move with a Chicago. Chicago
just made a lot of moves. Obviously
316
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:59.480
just traded everyone he likes playing with. Pretty much like where's the destination you
317
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.440
could see going to? That's a
tough one too. I feel like,
318
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.119
if anything, it's gonna be like
a trade deadline type thing. A team
319
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.039
that made maybe maybe they've got a
big injury or something like that, or
320
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.119
maybe they're just an up and coming
team that needs a little bit of a
321
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.359
scoring punch. Who that team is, I'm not too sure yet. I
322
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:23.279
just I'm not sure that's that's gonna
be a deal that happens this this offseason.
323
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.839
Still, I kind of feel like
Chicago's done most of their wheeling and
324
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.920
dealing. Um, I'm not sure
how I feel about some of the moves
325
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.880
they've made. Shipping off the brink
at for for just that that mid first
326
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.720
round pick. I think they could
have gotten more for that, and then
327
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:47.400
giving up on Kirby dock already at
A. I mean, I know they're
328
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.079
supposed to be rebuilding, but it
kind of seems like to break at and
329
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.599
doc or two guys that could be
building around. So I'm not too sold
330
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.319
on what Chicago has done this offseason. Then, yeah, I'm not sure
331
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:02.920
about the Patty Keane situation and Um, I think he'll be dealt eventually.
332
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:04.960
There's gonna be a lot of salary
that will have to be retained, but
333
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.519
I mean he's still one of the
best playmakers in the league, so there
334
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.759
should be a lot of teams that
are going after him pretty hard if,
335
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.839
if Chicago tries to move him.
Yeah, I could see his name made
336
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.319
at the top of the trade baby
for the whole day there in trade center.
337
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:25.480
Patty Kane pick up the deadline with
help a lot of teams, I
338
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:30.599
would imagine, like what are they
doing dumping off to brink at like they
339
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.119
get a first round pick back was
to bring out a first round pick.
340
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.319
I thought he felt in the second
round, but he should have been like
341
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.680
he should have been like a top
ten pick, but because of his size
342
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.559
he fell down. But yeah,
I mean one of the top five ten
343
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.279
goal scorers in the league. So
I mean that's a tough thing to give
344
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.240
up for a mid mid first round
pick. Yeah, you're you're just going
345
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.119
back to the well to hope that
it pans out again and then, if
346
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.119
you're lucky, you'll end up with
another drink at which he just treats for
347
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.359
the same chance. And DOC was. DOC was a third overall pick,
348
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:08.519
only that's even more sillier. Like
he didn't he didn't get to play,
349
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.839
like he didn't get to see him
very much. But you can't deny that
350
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.559
there's a whole lot of potential there. Whenever you're just trying to gauge the
351
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.680
potential of your team in five years, if they're going to be good like
352
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.240
it seems pretty counterproductive. No,
I'd have to agree to and docks and
353
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.000
lots of injuries and such. I
mean, yeah, I don't think he's
354
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.759
had a whole season in the NHL
Um yet to really show what he's all
355
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:37.119
about and hasn't been supported with the
best players either. So I don't know,
356
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:40.759
just giving up on him so early
just doesn't quite make sense. But
357
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:44.480
for the Hals, picking up Kurby
dock there, I think that's that's a
358
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.839
pretty swift little piece of business,
Getting Kirby doc there. You can put
359
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.680
them behind Nick Suzuki and um a
team that was lacking centerment so much a
360
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.960
couple of years ago and even on
their playoff run all of a sudden.
361
00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.119
I think a Suzuki doc one two
Combo could could look pretty good in a
362
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.160
couple of years. Yeah, another
team that's on the rise. This is
363
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.960
my team, the red wings.
It was looking like a pretty unreal offseason
364
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.720
so far, really liking how things
are going. Would you agree? You
365
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.000
know, I totally agree with with
the red wings. Another team in the
366
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.599
Atlantic that's on the rise. It's
gonna be quite the division in a few
367
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:26.559
years when pretty much all eight teams
are competitive. I like what they did.
368
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:32.240
I really like to bringing and whoso. I think whoso and Nadal Kovich
369
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:36.599
is gonna be a great Tadom and
one of those guys could really turn into
370
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.440
a complete stud in a couple of
years, you'd hope, once this team
371
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:44.079
is competitive. I think they're hoping
one of those two guys is a star.
372
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.880
Um, I didn't like the bench
for hot signing, for sure.
373
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.920
I thought they overpaid him by quite
a bit, but they had a ton
374
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.839
of money to spend. It's still
a young team. They don't have to
375
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:59.240
pay Raymond or CIDER quite yet.
Those are gonna be huge contracts, of
376
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.279
course, but this is a team
on the rise for sure, Um,
377
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.799
waiting to see what that Dylan Larkin
extension looks like whenever it comes in,
378
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.279
Um, but I really like the
core pieces they've built around and I think
379
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:17.920
this is another team that's for sure
on the rise. Maybe not this year,
380
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.680
quite yet in terms of competing for
a playoff spot, but in terms
381
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.920
of continued development and and starting to
fight for one of those final wild card
382
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:30.200
spots, I think they're getting close
to that for sure. Yeah, there
383
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.039
could definitely be a shift in power
in the Atlantic division over the next two
384
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.279
or three years, with the senators
and wings climbing up, and even the
385
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.880
Alps, I guess. Yeah,
yeah, for sure, but those but
386
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.960
the teams that are in power now, I don't think they're going to get
387
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.720
that much worse. Yeah, like
the at least are looking promising. But
388
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.319
the only one I can see is
if Tampa uses Kuturov or if Stam coast
389
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.759
gets hurt again or something like that, then but Vassilevski's not going anywhere either.
390
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:02.759
So yeah, that's going to be
a heck of division. No,
391
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.200
it really is. A few years. I like you said, I can't
392
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.640
see the leaves falling off, although
they do they've got all their contracts coming
393
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.279
up. Matthews has only got two
more years, knee lander has only got
394
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:18.880
two more years, Carris and mart
are only of three. So Um,
395
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.079
that's kind of the question mark for
the leaves is what happens once they have
396
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.519
to resign. Those guys, I
mean matth fews is already making like over
397
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.079
eleven and a half million, so
we'll see what. What kind of what
398
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.680
is next? Contracts looking like insane. Same with Marner. But UH,
399
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:38.000
and if they end up resigning with
Toronto, which I mean if they haven't
400
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:44.160
won playoff series and in eight years
of him being there, I'm not so
401
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:48.480
sure he is going to resign.
But Um, yeah, that's that's the
402
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.759
one team I could see potentially falling
down. Bruins, I think eventually you're
403
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.039
gonna fall down. But yeah,
I mean the two teams from Florida,
404
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.839
I I can't see them going anywhere
in the next few years either. So
405
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.079
it's gonna be an absolute dog fight
in that division in about two or three
406
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:08.440
years. It's it's just gonna be
crazy. Yeah, I'm I'm all for
407
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.079
it, though. What we're looking
for, especially where they are, the
408
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:17.319
Games that we get to watch just
exciting matchups all year of the Games should
409
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:22.200
be asked exactly. Yeah, what
did you think about that? Johnny grouted
410
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:27.440
Columbus, about his fun decision there. It really came out of nowhere,
411
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:33.000
like, Um, even him leaving
Calgary. As much as it came down
412
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:34.400
to the last day. I was
always kind of in the back of my
413
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.640
head, I'm like, you know, he's just gonna sign with dreau.
414
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.400
It's gonna it's gonna be boring.
And then once I heard the news that
415
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.960
he's leaving Calgary, I was pretty
excited to uh to see where he ends
416
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.480
up going. I heard the devil's
a lot in terms of looking for or
417
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:53.599
going after him hard. I heard
the islanders, I even heard the flyers
418
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:57.279
a little bit, and when Columbus
got thrown in there a little bit,
419
00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.480
I kind of discounted it just because
they're Lumbus, you know, a smaller
420
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:07.200
market team that hasn't really struggled to
uh, sign and keep stars recently.
421
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:14.240
And really until that final Um,
that final announcement that that he was coming
422
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.759
to Columbus, I still wasn't quite
believing that that it was happening. and
423
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:25.240
Um, I saw a tweet from
Frank Sara Valley around three or four o'clock
424
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:30.519
in the afternoon and he was saying
that the blue jackets had offered g drew
425
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.559
something in the range of seven years
and twelve million per and I was thinking,
426
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:38.359
my goodness, this is I should
be crazy if he were to turn
427
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:44.279
down a twelve million dollar per per
season contract. And when the A V
428
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.839
came in and was under ten million
per season, I just couldn't believe it,
429
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:52.440
especially when when the flames had offered
him so much more. So it
430
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.000
really shocked me. But I like
the Columbus. I like a lot of
431
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.799
their prospects that are coming up.
Um, they've got some insure eguing players
432
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.759
up front and in the back end
I like line a wearn sky like they've
433
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:08.440
got. They're not that boring of
a team to watch. So Um,
434
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:14.920
what a huge signing for that organization
and in a Metropolitan Division that's kind of
435
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.960
all over the place. Um,
this signing could kind of push them towards
436
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:23.319
a playoffs spot again in what's this
kind of quick rebuild they had? Yeah,
437
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:27.440
it seems so random, like he
wasn't interested in money, which makes
438
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:30.319
me think that he's worried about,
or trying to think about, like a
439
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.160
place he can win or at Nice
destination, and then he goes with neither,
440
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.480
in the Columbus Ohio, with a
team that hasn't been to the playoffs
441
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:41.680
in a hot minute. Like it
was scratching my head, for sure.
442
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.720
I'd love to ask him like,
what are you thinking, man, because
443
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.880
obviously there had to be a reason
behind it, but it's not like that
444
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.440
was his only option. Yeah,
for sure, and it shocked me that
445
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.480
he left the flames and, like
you said, it just seems like Um
446
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.960
Columbus didn't check off any of the
boxes that you possibly want as as a
447
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.440
free agent there, and he didn't
get the money either. So it was
448
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:07.680
really shocking to me, but I'm
all for it. I mean that's that's
449
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.200
gonna be a more exciting team to
watch for sure next year with with g
450
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:17.559
drew in the fold. But I
also like that he was maybe thinking it
451
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.160
isn't about the money. I want
to be able to help a team that
452
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.200
I can go to, because you
see all these young stars like his drow,
453
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.599
twenty five or six? Yeah,
no, I think he's he's already
454
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.519
twenties. I think he's twenty eight
or something like that. Already he looks
455
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.039
so young. It seems like he's
been in the NHL for only a couple
456
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.200
of years, but he's already about
to hit his thirties. But yeah,
457
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:41.519
I think he's got a lot of
prime years left in him. Like what
458
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.480
do you have? A hundred and
fifteen points this season or something it was.
459
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.119
It was less year. He's he's
one of the best players in the
460
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.720
league. So that's just a huge
addition for for the flame or for the
461
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.319
blue jackets, for sure. Yeah, I'd love to see the stars trending
462
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.000
in the direction of I'll take less
money. Let's try and get more teams
463
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.079
that can win the Stanley Cup here. I like that play a lot.
464
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.160
Do you think that Carolina trade with
for Brent Burns is going to help them
465
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:10.079
out any? Do you think Brent
burn still has any left in the tank?
466
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.880
Carolina had a super weird offseason.
Like they lost vinny tro check.
467
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.480
He ended up signing with the Rangers. Um, they bring in Brent Burns
468
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:27.480
on defense after losing a couple of
guys back there. I don't know how
469
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:34.400
I feel about about the Brent Burns. He's definitely fallen off recently. Um,
470
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:36.920
he's up there in age of speed
isn't where it used to be.
471
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.400
How does he fit into that team? I guess he obviously goes on on
472
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:46.039
power play one there and then you
added Max past Redi as well. I
473
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:50.680
think he's still one of the better
goal scorers in the league, but he's
474
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:58.480
also up there in age. Also
has injury issues. Um, two very
475
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:02.000
to two trades. It I completely
wasn't expecting. Um, those are probably
476
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:07.440
the two biggest shockers. Was Burns
of past ready to the hurricanes, but
477
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:09.519
they added some experience. It seems
like they wanted to go in a bit
478
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.039
of a different direction, maybe change
up that leadership group a bit and and
479
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:19.759
pass ready and Burns are definitely to
two guys with a lot of experience and
480
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.960
a lot of leadership. Um doesn't
make the team better, though. I'm
481
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:29.000
not completely sold on that to be
honest. Um, especially in the burn
482
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:32.119
situation, I think it's it's gonna
be really hit or miss where you could
483
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:36.960
have a bounce back season or or
things could really fall off the rails even
484
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:40.240
worse. Yeah, I think Carolina
might have just like they've had a great
485
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:45.400
team the last few years, but
they're kind of stuck in that range of
486
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:49.279
being in like the top five but
not the top two. So I think
487
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.200
maybe just trying to shift things around. Really just cross your fingers and hope
488
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.519
that it pans out slightly better,
because they haven't really been doing too much
489
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.640
wrong as of late. Yeah,
for sure, I agree with that.
490
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:05.440
Uh. Do you hear anything on
the DOBE? Well, obviously his agent
491
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.960
came out and said Pierre Luked Bois
he wants to go to Montreal, like,
492
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:13.079
I don't know why, he is
Asian straight out coming out and saying
493
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.119
that. But do you think that
Martin St Louis and the boys make it
494
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:20.760
happen? I guess. Ken Hues, yeah, I don't know. Like
495
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:27.440
they just they just traded for Curby
Doc. They signed next Suzuki to a
496
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:32.159
big contract, I guess. I
guess the jets are gonna have to trade
497
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:38.280
him because, Um, it seems
like he's just not staying in Winnipeg and
498
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:45.880
doesn't happen in Montreal. I'm not
completely sold on that just because of what
499
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:50.199
they've already added, but I do
know that the Canadians always really pushed for
500
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:55.599
having a couple of those those French
Canadians on the on the team. Um,
501
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.719
P LD is a really good player, probably the ideally a second line
502
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.280
center. I know he's looking for
like an eight times, eight times uh
503
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.360
type contract, which might be a
little bit rich. I know the jets
504
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:13.519
are gonna want a lot for him, considering they traded away their second overall
505
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:19.199
picking, Patrick Lione, for him. Um, I'm not so sure that
506
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.760
it happens this offseason. Maybe it's
a mid season trade or maybe even next
507
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:28.599
offseason, but I'm not so sold
that it's going to be Montreal, even
508
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.840
though it's agent came right out and
said he wants to go there. I
509
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:36.960
would even warrnt against that. I
don't like that play at all, saying
510
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.800
like picking one team whenever you don't
even play for them. It seems like
511
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:44.039
he's a he's a good player,
no doubt, but he hasn't had like
512
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:46.719
a superstar incredible. I don't know
if he's had like a pointy game season
513
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:51.519
or what, but going from Columbus
and then saying like give me out of
514
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:53.719
here, I'll try winnipeg, like
they've had a good team the last couple
515
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:57.599
of years, and then he shows
up and they're not so hot anymore and
516
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:00.639
now he's saying, Oh, I'm
from COVAC trade me to my hometown team,
517
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:05.199
like you're you're not that guy to
just be making those calls, man.
518
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.960
Yeah, exactly know what happened.
I agree with that. He's been
519
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:14.320
good in Columbus, good in Winnipeg, but the same thing kind of happened
520
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:20.559
in Columbus where the relationship fell apart
really early. Um He wasn't even playing
521
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.719
at the end there, where he
pretty much where he requested the trade and
522
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:28.599
then Um forced their hand by by
saying he wasn't even gonna play until he
523
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:32.599
got traded, and then the the
trade for Patrick Lyne ended up happening.
524
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.840
So hopefully something like that doesn't happen
in Winnipeg here again. But it seems
525
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:40.559
like it really does want to go
play for the for the halves there.
526
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:46.239
Yeah, I just think he could
be a problematic person to have on the
527
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:50.880
team, let alone on the ice. Yeah, it seems that way.
528
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:57.920
There's another pretty big name that's still
floating around there. Or actually, sorry,
529
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.199
no, he's not floating around anymore. Were you ever considering Malcolm going
530
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:05.559
to another team, or did you
have another destination in mind that you thought
531
00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.880
he was gonna Land? Well,
I saw a report come out that he
532
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:13.719
was going to test free agency and
then there was all that drama about Oh
533
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:16.400
um, you know, he was
texting his teammates that the penguins think he's
534
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:22.880
not good anymore or whatever, and
then I really think it was just all
535
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.719
Malkin trying to push for another year
in his contract or another couple of million
536
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:31.000
dollars, and I really don't think
he was ever going to leave the penguins.
537
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:35.440
That just wouldn't make sense. I
don't I couldn't see it happening.
538
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:38.760
I think he's retiring a penguin,
probably after these final four years on his
539
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:44.639
contract. And then Letang obviously got
the six year deal, which is pretty
540
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:49.320
crazy, but you know, you
gotta you gotta give those core pieces what
541
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:52.840
they want to guess. But for
me Malkin was always going to return.
542
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:57.760
It just didn't make sense for him
going anywhere else. Yeah, he definitely
543
00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:00.239
could have just been trying to see
what other teams would be willing to give
544
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:05.039
him and then just have a little
bit of leverage, even though his like
545
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.559
fifteen year unreal career with that team
isn't enough leverage. I don't know,
546
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:13.559
but I wouldn't even like the La
Tange deal. You could say that was
547
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:17.599
Pittsburgh doing him a favor for just
like all these years of service and stuff.
548
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:21.920
But like, if you've been so
good to that franchise, then you
549
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:23.760
should at least want them to have
a future whenever you're gone. Like,
550
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:29.039
don't just try and make it about
you and then retire like four years into
551
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:32.039
your six year deal and leave them
with no cap and no future. I
552
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:37.760
wouldn't want yeah, I I agree
with that, but honestly, Chris Letang
553
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.559
might be thinking he is going to
be playing and playing at a high level
554
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:44.599
for the next six years. I
mean he this year. He certainly didn't
555
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:46.559
look like a thirty six year old
on the ice. It was one of
556
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:51.280
the best seasons he's had in a
while. So, yeah, I see
557
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:55.159
it going south in in into three
years, for sure. But I think
558
00:38:55.159 --> 00:39:00.519
that's probably all of this penguins core
has anyways, and they don't have many
559
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:06.480
prospects at all. So once Malkin
ends up retiring, once the Tang falls
560
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.800
off the cliff, I mean I
think this team is going downhill, regardless
561
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.400
of of how many years they have
La Tang signed for. Yeah, I
562
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:20.880
wouldn't. Do you think crosby and
Malcolm retire together. I could see sids
563
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:24.719
hanging around a little longer than Malcolm, but I'm curious to hear what you
564
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:30.199
think. Yeah, I kind of
have to agree with you that Sid's probably
565
00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:34.360
gonna hang around longer. Like he
he just seems like the kind of guy
566
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:39.039
who's gonna play well into his forties
and, Um, just keep pounding out
567
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:44.280
those those great offensive seasons and doing
what he needs to do for the penguins.
568
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.440
Um, could they retire together?
It would be kind of cool,
569
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.960
I think. Um. But yeah, I kind of see Malkin returning to
570
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:58.519
the Khl at some point and then
crosby kind of saying yeah, I want
571
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.920
to keep playing for a couple more
or so. I kind of think that
572
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:06.719
draws stays a little bit longer,
just where he's been like the poster boy,
573
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:09.400
like literally the perfect hockey player,
if you were to draw him up
574
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:13.519
on a whiteboard like he's. He's
gonna Soak it in. At the end
575
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.079
he'll have his victory tour like,
I'd imagine, his last season. You'll
576
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:20.920
know that it's gonna be crosby's last
season. Maybe he'll build up brady and
577
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:24.159
resign or something, but he's just
the man. So he'll be. I
578
00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:28.079
think he'll have a nice little tour
to finish it off and you'll know at
579
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.920
the time to come. Yeah,
I think so too. All right,
580
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:36.840
we'll hit you with one major it's
pretty long question here. We got all
581
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:39.599
seven Canadian teams. Want to do
like a little rapport card on their off
582
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:45.360
season so far. I will starting
the West Day. Or do you want
583
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.280
to start in the East? I
guess you can pay. We can start
584
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:51.519
with the West. Yeah, so
Vancouver Canucks, what do you think?
585
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.719
What would you be given that?
For the off season? They didn't do
586
00:40:54.880 --> 00:41:00.599
that much. They signed Iliam mckayev
too, that big contract. Four years,
587
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.440
four point seven five per season,
I think it was. I don't
588
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:09.960
love that as someone who follows the
leaves really closely. Um, he's he's
589
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:15.960
a good four checker, he can
score the odd goal, but I mean
590
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:20.960
he scored over twenty this year.
I'd say reaching twenty again is a little
591
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:23.320
bit of a reach and I don't
know, I just have a bit of
592
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:29.280
a sense I don't have a great
sense of direction with this team. I'm
593
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.239
I don't know if I just feel
like their core is not good enough,
594
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:36.440
like Petterson and best of taking a
step back, so as Quinn Hughes,
595
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:39.400
and they're trying to build around these
players that, honestly, I don't think
596
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:44.840
it's a good enough core to compete, and so they just kind of continue
597
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:50.119
to signed depth players too, big
contracts around them and they're just not good
598
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:52.880
enough to compete. And I don't
think Iliam mckayev moves the needle either.
599
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:58.079
So I love to see if I
love to see if they make another move.
600
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:02.559
But I mean right now I say
I don't like this canucks offseason whatsoever.
601
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:06.960
I love that the first thing you
said about mckaye is that he's a
602
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:09.480
good four checker. I think that's
a sign of maybe it wasn't the best
603
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:16.039
signing for five million years. But
yeah, it seems like their core is
604
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:20.679
made up of guys that you would
want to get to add on to your
605
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.280
core. Like that one actually that
you're missing, like if Petterson went to
606
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:27.440
Carolina, then maybe he could be
that extra piece for them, but he's
607
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:30.440
not the guy that you want to
at the very center of it to bring
608
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:35.320
you guys around. No, I'd
agree. And then also jt Miller on
609
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:39.000
his last year of his contract,
I feel like you have to move him
610
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:44.000
like you had a career season.
You could really get some assets back for
611
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:46.880
him, but it seems like they
don't want to trade him and I don't
612
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:50.559
know, I just kind of feel
like his value is going to go down
613
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:54.800
from fear. Um. And Yeah, I just feel like there's a bit
614
00:42:54.840 --> 00:43:01.320
of a a bad sense of direction
here with this management team. Yeah,
615
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:07.960
so, like the report something like
that, I give them a deed,
616
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:13.440
just just fairly passing so far.
Yeah, what about the end to the
617
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.760
oilers? Okay, yeah, so
they finally got their goaltender. I've been
618
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:22.960
waiting for them to sign a goalie
for years and years. Finally they're getting
619
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:28.960
away from Mike Smith and and Miko
Koskin. And I'm not sold at Jack
620
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:31.440
Campbell's the guy. I liked him
in Toronto at times, but I also
621
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:36.800
didn't like him at at other times. He's pretty much been a career backup
622
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:42.199
who the past two seasons was thrown
into a starting gig. And so is
623
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.920
that Guy gonna gonna push them over
the top? I'm not so sure.
624
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:50.599
Um, I didn't really make any
improvements to the Blue Line. That resigned
625
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:54.280
Brett Kulak. Brought in a couple
of depth guys like Mattis Yawn Mark.
626
00:43:54.880 --> 00:44:00.119
So I guess their big move was
Jack Campbell. Um, I'm not sure
627
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.679
they really could have made any any
other moves. So, I mean they
628
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:07.559
got a goalie at least, so
I'm going to give them at least to
629
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:12.599
be although I'm still not sold on
the Blue Line and I'm still not sold
630
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:16.119
on on what's happening in that.
Do you think there was another goalie available
631
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:20.679
that they should have gone after other
than Jack came? Well, that's that's
632
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:22.480
the issue, I guess, is
I don't know who that would have been.
633
00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:29.639
Like there is somebody, like the
top guys were Kemper Campbell, who's
634
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:34.400
so, and I mean who'sso,
has played whatever sixty games in the NHL
635
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.079
and his career. So I'm not
sure that that's the greatest bet as a
636
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:42.480
contender either. And then Kemper is
getting up there in age and an injury
637
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:46.119
history as well. So Campbell might
have just been the best option out there
638
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:51.079
and at least they found somebody.
Yeah, that's I like that. I
639
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:53.760
like that great. Yeah, because
they're a team that shouldn't have gone as
640
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:58.480
far as they did, but they
have unbelievable players. That said, we
641
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:00.159
don't care that our team isn't good
enough. We can get this far,
642
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.880
but I think a goalie could have
pushed them over the edge, especially watching
643
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.440
that Calgary series. It was the
most ridiculous thing in that I've ever seen
644
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:13.079
both ways. But yeah, they
needed a goalie that could come in and
645
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:15.639
be like a mcdavid and dry sidle
and carry the oilers. But I don't
646
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:22.000
think they go exactly. I mean
I think Um, I think Campbell has
647
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:24.079
a chance to be that guy.
I mean I think he's giving them a
648
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:29.199
better chance than Mike Smith and MICO
coskin and could, but I don't know
649
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:32.440
if he's that guy who finally carries
mcdavid dry sidle to a top. But
650
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:39.840
I don't necessarily see that. Yeah, we'll move down south to or is
651
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:44.079
it? Is it south of vent? I don't even know. We were
652
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:53.960
not so calgary flames draw. So
yeah, and I didn't didn't really make
653
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:59.400
any big signings other than that.
Yet I think they're still pushing for caudry.
654
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:04.119
So maybe it's a bit of a
bit of an incomplete grade. Although
655
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.519
definitely losing one of the best players
in the league, you have to give
656
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:12.880
them probably an F I guess I
mean they went from. They went from
657
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:15.800
one of the I guess you could
say the best team in the Pacific Division.
658
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:22.119
Two, are they even a playoff
team anymore, especially with teams around
659
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:27.239
them getting better? Um, I
just feel like losing goodreaux and now the
660
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:31.480
uncertainty about Matthew Kit Chuck two.
And I think people forget that this team
661
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:37.639
was, um, what was like
a playoff bubble team the last couple of
662
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:42.280
years before they finally took the step
this year. But but I still really
663
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.079
do like Darryl Sutter. There is
the coach. I think he gets the
664
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:49.159
best out of whatever, whatever group
he's given. But Um, yeah,
665
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:52.199
I mean losing goodreaux and not really
replacing him. He can't get much,
666
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:57.559
much better than than a failing mark
there. Yeah, they needed two on
667
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:00.400
the exam and cadre is not going
to be that. Yeah, exactly.
668
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:05.960
Ye, over to the east,
I didn't. Yeah, well, Winnipeg
669
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:12.119
jets, remember, Canada? Winnipeg
jets. Um, I feel like I'm
670
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:17.679
pretty negative about the Canadian teams here, but that's the didn't do too much,
671
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.199
you know, they didn't. Um, they signed David Riddick as their
672
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:25.679
backup goalie. I think that was
their biggest signing. I think it was
673
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:30.679
their only signing on July thirteen,
and I think this is a team that
674
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:36.800
really needed to add especially up front, and they didn't add anything. So
675
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:39.760
I've got to say a failing great
for the jets as well. They haven't
676
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:44.400
dealt with Um. All the talk
to the off season is they're going to
677
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:46.719
change up the core. They're either
gonna move to wall or Shife Lee or
678
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:52.599
wheeler. None of that's happened.
There hasn't been any additions around them.
679
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.599
So for me this is a jets
team that was on the rise for a
680
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:59.960
while and even last season I had
a little bit of hope that they'd be
681
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:05.119
turning things around, but it's it
really hasn't worked out for them this this
682
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:07.519
past season and this offseason has been
a mess for me as well. I
683
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:13.360
just I don't quite understand what they're
trying to do here. Yeah, they're
684
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:16.199
playing a patient game, kind of
where they shouldn't be. They gotta make
685
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:21.480
a lot of moves and that expect
they kind of losing. buffling was a
686
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:25.280
big thing that, even though that
was a while ago, like that're gonna
687
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:31.599
change a lot. Who was there? One signing? There David David.
688
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:39.679
Thank you. Yes, Um,
I guess we're going east now. It
689
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:50.800
gets a little bit better here with
Toronto. Yeah, I'm pretty yeah,
690
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:53.519
I'm not too sure. Like,
they didn't, they didn't make any bad
691
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:59.519
moves necessarily, I think, how
close they were up against the cap they
692
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:02.159
could own they do so much.
Um, I like that they didn't have
693
00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:06.199
to commit term to a goalie,
but I don't know if if Marie and
694
00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:09.159
Samson and over are going to be
the guys. Um, I still think
695
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:15.559
they need some depth scoring up front. So it wasn't a failure of an
696
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:19.639
off season. I mean for Toronto
it's kind of an incomplete it's it's what
697
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:23.599
happens in the first round of the
playoffs and and until we know what happens
698
00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:28.960
there, I just have a hard
time giving them Um, giving them that
699
00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:31.920
much of a greed until I see
how this team ends up ends up playing.
700
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:36.960
Yeah, they have they have some
they have a crucial year coming up
701
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:39.440
with the time for them the place
of clock chockey. So they should be
702
00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:45.199
and without straying away from the main
question here, it seems like the problem
703
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:49.760
with the leaves in the off season
every year is no space. If you
704
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:53.719
could go back with Willie Nielander in
that whole Sweden situation, or even like
705
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:58.679
the Marino Matthews contracts? Would you
do anything differently to make the future,
706
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:02.679
like right now easier? Well,
I think the I think the knee ladder
707
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:07.639
contracts pretty team friendly now, like
around seven million bucks. I don't think
708
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:13.760
that's that bad for one of your
best players. MARNER's a lot up there,
709
00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:15.920
around eleven million, so is Matthews, but I mean there's some of
710
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:22.719
the best players in the league there. Um, what would I have changed
711
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:25.599
anything with those two? I don't
think so. The Tavares signing is looking
712
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:31.199
worse and worse every year, although
when you have an opportunity to bring in
713
00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:35.360
a guy like John Tavarus, I
don't think you can pass up on it,
714
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:38.239
um. But yeah, it just
has an aged too well and and
715
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:42.639
if anything that's kind of been a
bit of a downfall of the team rather
716
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:45.920
than rather than the big three.
I think just tavrus not quite being that
717
00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:49.519
you know, he hasn't been one
of the best players in the League for
718
00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:52.199
a while now, and and paying
him eleven million dollars to do so.
719
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:58.360
I think is is really hindering this
team quite a bit. And that first
720
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.559
year it was pretty good, like
like forty goal season or whatever. Since
721
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:07.079
then he dropped off big time.
Yeah, for sure. All right,
722
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:10.079
so the rankings might get a little
bit higher here when we ship it over
723
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:15.920
to Ottawa. Yeah, I mean
Ottawa. I'm waiting to see about that
724
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:21.079
defenseman. Like I said before,
I heard Mackenzie Wager from Florida bit.
725
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:24.760
I think that would be a huge
addition. I think I really love wager.
726
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:29.239
I think he's one. I think
if Florida where to let him go,
727
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:32.679
that would be um, that would
be concerning for them. But if
728
00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:36.960
if aught over to end up with
him, I'd have to give them an
729
00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:40.360
a plus for sure. Right now, maybe, maybe just an a,
730
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:45.199
waiting for that final move here,
but in terms of how much they built
731
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:50.400
up this team into, Um,
a team that I'm expecting to be fighting
732
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.519
for a wild card spot. It's
it's been a it's been a pretty crazy
733
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:59.199
offseason for them. Yeah, I
love it to see the sins pushing forward.
734
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:04.119
They do need a defenseman for Shababa
can't be doing all the work back
735
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:07.039
there. He is a he is
a workhorse, but can't do for them
736
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:12.239
to convince someone like drew to come
home and sign with the senators. I
737
00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:15.599
was, I was really impressed about
that. I mean the senators aren't exactly
738
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:21.400
a team who's who have attracted free
agents either in recent years. And for
739
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:23.440
for them to convince drew that,
yeah, we're a team on the rise
740
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:27.159
and by the end of that this
this contract, we're going to be a
741
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:30.920
contender, I mean I think that's
a pretty that's a pretty good move by
742
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.559
them. Yeah, for any team
to go out and get like to like,
743
00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:38.239
without a doubt, NHL Superstars in
one off season is like you don't
744
00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:43.679
see that, like not very,
very rarely. No, for sure.
745
00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:46.719
It's definitely. Out of the Canadian
teams, the Senators have done the best
746
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:52.639
this offseason. Yeah, the last
one here with Montreal Canadians. They they
747
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:57.559
didn't do too too bad either.
They I guess their first over, I'll
748
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.599
pick, helps them, if you
want to count that as a but big
749
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:04.320
time. Yeah, I've I've liked
what they've done. I've I've really liked
750
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:07.519
what Kent Hughes has done since he
took over for Mark Berge van Um.
751
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:12.559
As much as they had just an
awful year last year. I think they
752
00:53:12.599 --> 00:53:15.000
probably shouldn't have even made the playoffs
the year they made the cup final and
753
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:21.239
Um, things just really fell about
after that. But I think they're building
754
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:24.679
up the right way. They've got
Suzuki and Cawfield and now dock and some
755
00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:30.960
guys in the back end as well. Um, little disappointed they gave up
756
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:37.199
on Alexander Romanov so early, but
at the same time I think Kirby docks
757
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:42.000
worth that bad to give up on
Romanov. I hope they can find another
758
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:46.239
defense and I like that they chipped
off Jeff Petrie there Um got a little
759
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:52.320
bit back and returned for him.
So I think it's been a good offseason
760
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:55.239
for the Canadians. They haven't,
like, made a huge free agent splash
761
00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:59.719
to try and be competitive next year. They're they're kind of playing it so
762
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:04.239
getting some young players. So I
like what the Canadians have done and not
763
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:07.639
I'll have to give them a B
or a B plus for sure. Yeah,
764
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:09.119
it seems like they had a bit
of a different approach, not hunting
765
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:14.599
for the big names but hunting for
the potential big names that could really exactly.
766
00:54:14.679 --> 00:54:16.239
Yeah, I think it was the
right way to approach it to a
767
00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:20.679
lot of teams try and rush it
like like you could say Ottawa, maybe
768
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:23.559
would by we'll actually do because to
bring that so young. But a lot
769
00:54:23.559 --> 00:54:28.480
of teams were trying and skip the
whole rebuilding phase get these two players that
770
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:30.519
don't make the whole difference, but
I think where they're kind of kind of
771
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:35.360
a Vancouver situation there, like you're
talking about. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
772
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:38.719
Yeahah, I love the Montreal many, Sick Finny. Look Cavia.
773
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:44.039
They're trying to build two thousand four. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, two
774
00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:47.639
thousand four lightning team again, they're
running it back. Exactly. No,
775
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.639
especially when you look at the division
like we've talked about. I mean there's
776
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:57.760
there's not a lot of room for
them to uh, to move their way
777
00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:00.639
up. So I think buildings slow
and kind of waiting for things to shake
778
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:06.320
out Um above them is probably the
right way to approach things. Yeah,
779
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:09.119
I agree. Have you made it
to the end? Yeah, I think
780
00:55:09.159 --> 00:55:14.280
this is the end. We'll get
your Stanley Cup pick for next year.
781
00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:20.559
We'll probably talk to you before the
Stanley Cup early, early. I haven't
782
00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:24.559
even thought about it yet, like
normally I at least think about it.
783
00:55:24.719 --> 00:55:29.239
Um, I'll have to get it
to you the next time we chat,
784
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:32.320
because I haven't even put a thought
into it yet. I mean I wouldn't
785
00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:37.679
be surprised if Colorado goes back to
back. That that core is just just
786
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:40.960
too good, is do I have
a wild card off the top of my
787
00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:50.559
head? I don't know. I
like Carolina to finally put things together.
788
00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:53.760
Maybe Brent Burns and Max Patch Grande, but have a huge year and and
789
00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:58.400
Carolina does it. So I don't
know. I kind of have to stick
790
00:55:58.440 --> 00:56:01.320
with with either the avalanche or the
or the hurricanes, but I'll get back
791
00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:05.440
to you on my on my real
pick next time, next time we talk.
792
00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:07.599
Yeah, I like it. I
got one more, since it's still
793
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:12.920
relevant and it won't be the next
time that we talked. Matthews over mcdavid
794
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:15.079
for those two major awards. Do
you agree? As a leash fan?
795
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:21.840
I do for this year. Um, I think matthews was just crazy and
796
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:24.599
the goal scoring that he put up
you just don't see anymore. I mean
797
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:29.960
we haven't seen a sixty goal season
and over ten years. So for me
798
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:32.480
you had to give it to him
just how special that season was. I
799
00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:37.440
think he took a step as a
defensive player as well and I just don't
800
00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:43.599
think mcdavid's quite taken that that leap
is a defensive player yet. So for
801
00:56:43.639 --> 00:56:46.519
me it had to be Matthews this
year, for both of them. I
802
00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:51.320
like it that. That actually makes
me feel better about it. Now you're
803
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:54.320
you're making sense, especially how happy
that mcdavid got the kind of the last
804
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:58.280
laugh in the playoffs and got to
show that he can take a team.
805
00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:05.599
Yeah, if Matthews those regular season
awards for that, well, thanks for
806
00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:08.480
joining us. Man. It's been
on real but he never disappoints and no
807
00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:15.159
one knows this stuff. Go follow
NHL discussion if you want to know every
808
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:17.320
single thing that's going on in the
league. Keep a heart beat pulse on
809
00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:22.639
there. I love it. Sure
thanks. Thanks for having me, guys,
810
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:27.679
and hopefully we can chat again and, Oh yeah, I catch you
811
00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:28.400
later. Every
