Yeah, fighting fighting a good fight, fighting a good fight.
26
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.319
It takes one, one minute at a time, the monopolizer
27
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:00.280
time though.
28
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.760
Yeah, that that's uh. I'm glad that all that worked out, Zins,
29
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.479
Thank you Max Max. Nine injuries overall, zoinks, He says, uh, yeah,
30
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.360
this has been a very uh interesting week to say
31
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.479
the very least. The news that you know, they went
32
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:22.759
out to dinner and you see the picture and they're all,
33
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.560
you know, happy and everything's great. I wonder how much
34
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:32.439
after that picture was taken to Jack somehow mysteriously trip
35
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:37.039
and fall and break his glass and cut his finger
36
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.639
to the point where he's out for eight g D
37
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:45.680
eleven weeks, like eight eight eight.
38
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.840
Apparently it could have been worse. Apparently it could have been.
39
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:51.800
Here's my perspective on it.
40
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:57.639
Just go back to old school hockey Cider and iron.
41
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:05.120
Samuel or my perspective, what what seasons is Jack Hughes
42
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:06.000
not got hurt.
43
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.680
It's true he's never played to full eighty two. He's
44
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:10.520
actually never I.
45
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.520
Think he's played over gona happen at some point.
46
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:13.879
Yeah, it's true.
47
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.919
Yeah, yes, you know, not in this form. We haven't
48
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.599
had this one yet. This one's new.
49
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.960
That's that's a newbie, you know.
50
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:29.000
Oh slip and fall, team dinner onto uh mimosa glass
51
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.400
and uh slice tendons into oblivion. You know, we never
52
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.439
had that type of injury before, so that's.
53
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:35.479
A new one for us.
54
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.199
That's the first you know where we're uh we're breaking
55
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.280
ground here, you know, maybe not.
56
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.719
It's happened every year, so we should you know, be
57
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.240
kind of used to these things.
58
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:48.919
And with this.
59
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:52.879
Team, does it really surprise you with the injuries that
60
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.280
seem to be I'm like, I just it's like keep
61
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.639
them coming. There we go, eighty two games, eighty two injuries.
62
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:01.560
That's what we're on the pace for.
63
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.879
Uh. I will say it's uh, you know, silver lining though,
64
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.000
and I said this sudden game day lay before the
65
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:11.639
Devils went out and put on a hell of a
66
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.159
show against which we're we're we'll talk a little bit
67
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:20.399
about the game against the Caps. Blessing in disguise, maybe
68
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.079
maybe this is what what moves the needle for.
69
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.319
Uh No, it's not. It's not a blessing in disguise. No, no, No,
70
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.160
that's trying.
71
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.079
To I'm trying to be optimistic. It's not all but
72
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.800
it's just it's something all we have left. It's something
73
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.920
we've always dealt with. It's not a blessing and losing
74
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.720
your best player. And I mean we saw what those
75
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.519
lines looked like, you know when you're you see oh
76
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:50.000
just for Nico Timo all on top line, you know,
77
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.439
like those power can go a little slim pickens there, you.
78
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.800
Know, down down below that top line.
79
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.879
But we do have some new guys on the team
80
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.959
that have really been stepping up to the plate and
81
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.720
taking advantage of their opportunity in the spotlight.
82
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:07.600
We talked about it a lot.
83
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.839
But mister gritz yuk Uh and mister Sam Wu's new
84
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.639
favorite player, Shimon nemets, Oh.
85
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.600
Yeah, favored by a landslide.
86
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.600
He coolly, who's a landslide?
87
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.120
Yes, so he says, he goes cool Cooley coolly coolly,
88
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.759
what COOLi oh, And then he starts singing Gangster's Paradise
89
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.480
and he gets really awkward because Sam can't carry it too,
90
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.000
like real awkward, Like we have to we have to
91
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.720
like have a meeting with him about this. But anyways, yeah,
92
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.480
you're right, it uh, it's listen to guys that need
93
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.279
to step up or stepping up. You would like to
94
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.560
see a little bit more from from Timo, from from
95
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.079
Nico on the on the score sheet, they are doing
96
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.399
things in other places. So it's kind of hard because
97
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.000
you're like, well, you want to see more, you want
98
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.720
to see more, but it's like, well, Nico's playing a
99
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.439
two hundred foot game, and I mean usually playing against
100
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.879
other teams best top lines. So he's doing what he
101
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.079
has to do. Yeah, listen, he's due. He's I feel
102
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.480
like he's he's due for a couple soon because he's
103
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:14.519
had a few golden opportunities he had. Wasn't the Capital's game?
104
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:20.040
Who did they play right before the Capitals Chicago Chicago?
105
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:25.040
He had two breakaways and just couldn't bury it. And
106
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.680
it's like he's he's on the the you know, the
107
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.879
cusp of breaking through. I feel like, more importantly, somebody
108
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.319
who did break through last night was Luke Hughes, which
109
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.120
I called on Game Day life which is gonna happen,
110
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:45.079
but ces scoring a goal. He's been and and Sheldon
111
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.279
Keith has been singing his praise lately and just overall
112
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.480
talking about how his game has really stepped up, which
113
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.240
thank god, because the amount of minutes than him and
114
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.399
themach have been taking on of you know, they're they're
115
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.839
what twenty five twenty six plus minute it's a game now,
116
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.079
both of them.
117
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:09.600
Yeah, keep going, probably probably coming home. I mean, Chelosky
118
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.399
and White haven't been a liability on that bottom pairing,
119
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.879
but they are only playing roughly fourteen minutes in the game,
120
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:22.279
so and Siegs and and Dylan have kind of stayed
121
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.160
to around the twenty twenty ish minutes. So yeah, so
122
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.040
that extra time has really been picked up by the
123
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.639
young legs of Luke Qu'es and Shimou Nemets.
124
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:38.439
And doing phenomenally. I mean, Nemesis has been playing you know,
125
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.000
outside of.
126
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.240
I thought you wanted to trade him.
127
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.759
Uh oh, oh, there you are. For a second, we
128
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:50.439
had FROs second Crazy.
129
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.720
Went out here, So I don't know if I had
130
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.480
I heard about that. We have crazy win going on.
131
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.439
I saw thunder and lightning last night, which was wild.
132
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.560
I saw the wind blowing at Giant Stadium. Yeah, Sam's
133
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.800
got himself muted. It's you know, that's that's a regular occurrence.
134
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.319
Don't worry about it. That's that's par for the course.
135
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.800
Par for the course. What's up, Sam?
136
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.560
It's not windy right now, is it?
137
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.759
It is? You could hear my windtimes outside the door.
138
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:21.800
It is really windy out.
139
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.839
Oh okay, I saw the wind in that Giants game,
140
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:32.840
blowing those extra points and everything the opposite direction the Giants.
141
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.600
So yeah, listen, I can't talk about football right now
142
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:42.559
because my fantasy team got absolutely smoked today. Our friend
143
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:48.000
who his quarterback, Josh Allen, put up fifty points and
144
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.559
I think he could have sat Josh Allen and still one.
145
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.759
That's how bad of a day was for my fantasy
146
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.639
football team. But yeah, dude, like going back to what
147
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.759
these two young defensemen are doing. They're they're picking up
148
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.320
the slack and it's this maturation of like where you
149
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.399
want to see them become like that that one A
150
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.120
one B defender, right, you want them to be your
151
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.679
top pairing. You drafted fourth overall and second overall for
152
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.559
a reason, and.
153
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.039
It's nice because it's the reason was to trade him
154
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:21.279
for Quinn Hughes or Brady kud Chuck Well for Bratty
155
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:21.720
kind Truck.
156
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:27.840
Yeah, what are you stupid? What are you thicking ahead?
157
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:32.639
Of course points and then you go one for one
158
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.240
and then okay, all right, all right, there you go.
159
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.320
Well, I I just bring it up because whenever we've
160
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.120
talked about deals or anything like that, usually the one
161
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.399
of two names is usually the first two that are
162
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.080
gonna get thrown into this package deal for someone, it's
163
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.879
Casey and and Nemets, so.
164
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.240
That it is now he's he's got to be untouchable
165
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:59.679
at this point, right, yes, me, How do you think
166
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:04.200
are think these are fluid? Yes? Of course, but prior
167
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.399
to this, yeah, because you have a you have a
168
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:10.480
top tier defenseman, and you have or top tier prospect
169
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.240
rather and of course his name is gonna be involved
170
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:17.039
in trade rumors, either on this show by one of
171
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.879
us or on any millions of other platforms that you
172
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:25.480
could read, you know, Devil's newsworthy stuff.
173
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.919
And well, no, I'm just I'm just saying, how how
174
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:30.480
are you gonna make that happen now?
175
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.320
Because that was a big thing obviously, Yeah, you know, Okay,
176
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.519
all right, I see, I.
177
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.840
See what you're doing, and I don't like it. I like,
178
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:46.279
I get it. I got it, noted noted Scott noted, Well, no, I'm.
179
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.279
Just curious because you see people out there. I'm not
180
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.360
gonna you know, name names or oh, Devil's gonna make
181
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.039
a big splash, Devil's gonna make a big move. I
182
00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:02.720
don't really think they're going to with danding Off eventually
183
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.919
coming back. Connor Brown, you know, not gonna be out
184
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.120
too too long? Uh, Dougie Hamilton on the way back.
185
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.639
I don't know. I don't. I just I don't.
186
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:17.519
I feel like they got the reserves, are on entered
187
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.159
reserve right now, and when they come back, this team
188
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:25.480
is gonna be quite a force to be reckoned with again.
189
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.120
Now can they stay healthy? But I don't know. I
190
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.519
just don't see I don't see it.
191
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.879
The only thing I can envision happening is somehow Quinn
192
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.200
Hughes landing on this team this year before the free agency.
193
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.519
Other than that, I don't know. I like, do you think.
194
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:49.440
They're gonna go get How do you get Quinn Hughes? Anyways?
195
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:53.120
If you're I think you're you're gonna say goodbye to
196
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:54.320
Emits and and Casey.
197
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.720
That's how you're gonna get him. If you're gonna get him.
198
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:00.399
I don't think. I I think the wormest earned it that.
199
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.120
I think that honestly, Like you're.
200
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.399
Saying, like this twenty five game stretch that he's been on,
201
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.480
because before that people were like.
202
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:10.360
Get rid of him.
203
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.200
No, hell, he's doing.
204
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.200
And then the playoffs happened, scored that goal, and now
205
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.960
this season he's been on point. But let's face it,
206
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.759
it's only it's like a twenty game stretch. I gave
207
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:25.679
him twenty five. It's probably even less, probably like a
208
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.159
twenty twenty one game stretch.
209
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.600
Yeah, no, you're not wrong, but yes, that's how quick
210
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.440
the narrative can change. And it's not the first time.
211
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:42.360
Remember Ty Smith untouchable ty Smith? Right at one point.
212
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:43.919
I mean that's because he cooked the meatstak.
213
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.320
Well, you can't go near him, can't go near him,
214
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.360
don't get rid of ty Smith. Oh my god, he's
215
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:53.759
the next easy air parrot to our defensive problem. And
216
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:54.639
the guy can't even.
217
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.840
It was like, it was like whatever, It's like, got
218
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.639
Jenny red Day and this Amma and goodfellas. He made
219
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.240
a mean steak, stunk up the joint man something nasty,
220
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:05.399
but it was a good steak.
221
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:16.360
Aristocrat, you would cut the garlic with a razor blade
222
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:26.960
that it would melt.
223
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.240
Both them and the onions in there.
224
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:28.960
Yeah, but that's but that's the nature of the beast, right,
225
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:32.519
Like the narrative will always change. It is the what
226
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.440
have you done for me lately? In every league in
227
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.840
baseball and football and hockey, basketball, it doesn't matter, is
228
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.759
what have you done for me lately? And he's been
229
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.279
doing a lot, So you don't cut off your nose
230
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:46.600
to spite your face, right like, you don't make that
231
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.480
move now because it doesn't make sense. You made that
232
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.399
move before when they were like, yeah, the guy's got
233
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.320
tons of potential, but he's not living up to the
234
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.720
potential here. So maybe it's a change of scenery. Maybe
235
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.840
it's like whatever, that's that's what and you and you
236
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.000
can't fault anybody for having that conversation prior to what
237
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.039
he's doing now.
238
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:07.360
Right right, right right.
239
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.720
I know, I know, But I'm just saying there's a
240
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.759
lot of the lot of reports out there that the
241
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:12.840
Devils are tied to.
242
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:17.240
This big, you know, burb, big splash type of movement.
243
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:18.759
I don't know, man, I just don't see it. I
244
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:19.639
agree with you, Dubbs.
245
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:20.039
I just don't.
246
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.240
I just don't see it happening. I just I don't.
247
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.360
Unless they know that some of those guys are not
248
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.200
coming back off of the i R for the remainder
249
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.879
of the year, then it's a different story.
250
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:34.679
But yeah, but you.
251
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.879
Know Brown and guy Danton off Jack.
252
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.279
I mean, imagine when Jack comes back, was that like
253
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:44.120
mid January we did the timeline or whatever. That's gonna
254
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.279
be a hell of a pickup, you know, Oh mid
255
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.360
season accuate acquisition right there of Jack Hughes is gonna
256
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:51.559
do a wonders for this team?
257
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.960
Do you trust this team to carry the load until
258
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.600
he gets back?
259
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.960
That's the big Well can That's what I'm saying.
260
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:02.159
Well, that's where I was.
261
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:05.320
That's where I was getting Shimon Nemets. We've seen like
262
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.720
a twenty one twenty two game stretch. Can he make
263
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.360
that into like a forty five to fifty game stretch?
264
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:13.200
Mm hmm?
265
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:15.960
Is grits juke?
266
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:16.559
You know?
267
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.919
Is is there gonna be like kind of a you know,
268
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.519
a blueprint at him on in the league soon, you know,
269
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.799
And this is how we play him and blah blah blah,
270
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.840
because we know he's not the he's not the fastest
271
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:29.080
guy out there, but he has got some really advanced
272
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:33.080
hockey sense when he's on the ice hockey, so is
273
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:36.840
he gonna be able to continue? But it was also
274
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.919
nice when he was in the bottom six, you know,
275
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.519
playing against the other third and fourth line.
276
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.799
You know, now you're gonna now you're moved up into that.
277
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.879
Second line mode, and you don't you aren't playing with
278
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.519
a Jack Hughes and a Jasper Bratt who are gonna
279
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:55.080
take all the attention away that second line of Stephan Nason, Dawson,
280
00:15:55.120 --> 00:16:00.440
Mercer and gritz Uk. You're probably gonna be the offensive focus.
281
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.440
Dawson Mercer is that guy's gonna drive to the net
282
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.600
and go into those you know the quote unquo dirty areas.
283
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.879
But Gritzuk is gonna be like that playmaker and the
284
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:11.799
big shot taker.
285
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:14.480
Mm hmm.
286
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:16.440
So is he gonna be.
287
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:17.399
Able to.
288
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:25.440
You know, perform at that level? Will the Devil's you know,
289
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:27.720
Paul or no way? Paul Cotter was up on that
290
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:33.399
second line, right, yeah, it was was Cotter, Cotter, Gritzuk
291
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:35.720
and Mercer, right yeah. Then Nace was down on the
292
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:42.279
third line. So can they can they continue like that?
293
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.600
Is it fair of us to even think that they can?
294
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.600
We're talking about two kids with you know, one of
295
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.879
them with eighteen games experience, the other with not not
296
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.480
even a full season's worth of experience in the NHL.
297
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.200
Yeah, big shout out to Big Nate with the the
298
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:04.559
super chat. He says, Uh, if there is someone on
299
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.160
the team who deserves the MVP right now, it has
300
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.079
to go to Chief Keith. Yeah, Keith is He's got
301
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.039
the boys rolling, that is for sure. Like that the
302
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.319
system that they have in place, like the team is
303
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.240
playing a team game. I also will talk. I actually
304
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.039
wanted to get a little bit more into this real
305
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:29.640
quick because if there's little things that happen that you're like, man,
306
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.839
all right, this team is really gelling or like you
307
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.359
could see like the camaraderie that this team has, This
308
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.920
team feels like they're very very tightly bound. Like when
309
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.160
when Nemas scored that overtime goal to get the hat trick,
310
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.599
it wasn't just a reaction to him, it was a
311
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.720
reaction to the entire team, Like how are they reacting
312
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.920
to him? But also how they reacted to Mark Strom,
313
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.000
like Brenda Dillon going over and like oh my god,
314
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:01.799
oh my god. Like they seem this team seems extremely close,
315
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.720
like a really tight knit group, and I feel like
316
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:10.200
this is like a perfect a perfect balance. Right Connor
317
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.440
Brown coming back, I think it's gonna be a huge,
318
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.519
huge boost to this team now. When it comes back,
319
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.799
he's gonna get who's gonna be out of the lineup
320
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:25.319
is probably oh, probably the chance and probably the chance. Yeah,
321
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.519
so like those guys will probably be out of the lineup,
322
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.440
which sucks. You know, you want a chance to get
323
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.480
a good sniff at it. But like now, when Connor
324
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:34.240
Brown comes back, I think it's gonna be a major
325
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.480
boost to the p K. It's gonna be a major
326
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.680
boost to just you know, third fourth line. I don't
327
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.799
disagree with you in the sense that like there's no
328
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.279
there might not be a major move in the works.
329
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:50.799
But the same time, like this team is lacking now
330
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.200
a second line center with Jack being gone for you know,
331
00:18:54.279 --> 00:19:00.519
eight eight weeks, also missing a top six winger, and
332
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.200
they were missing that with with Jack even there. So
333
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.640
there are certain things that there's things that this well
334
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.759
I mean still use for sure. So it's not isn't
335
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.279
I mean, And they need to move money, and they
336
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.119
need to move money around, because when guys get the.
337
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.799
Need they need to move money.
338
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:19.000
Yeah, they're they they're like who was saying it in
339
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:21.480
the chat? I just saw six million dollars over the cap.
340
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:24.839
But they did have Dan, they did have Daan and
341
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.920
Off pegged to be playing up there with Jack and Jasper,
342
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.799
who can be a good finisher.
343
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:33.200
If he comes back.
344
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:35.240
I don't see a need to go out and like
345
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.160
especially because you only have him signed for one year.
346
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:44.400
Just wait, m hmm, see how it rolls.
347
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.599
I mean they what they played one game together before
348
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:51.319
Dan and Off broke his hand. So I would say,
349
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.519
I would say, wait for him to come back. There's
350
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.440
your there's your winger that you can throw in there.
351
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.559
He's cheap, he's only cost a million bucks. It's only
352
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.480
signed for one year. Unless someone's gonna throw you a
353
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.000
ridiculous package for him at the trade deadline.
354
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:09.039
There's your guy.
355
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:12.359
Mm hmm.
356
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:16.920
Sorry, I'm just to get Jessper, Jack.
357
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.440
And danding Off up up on the top. Then you
358
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:23.319
can put Mercer back with Timo and Nico. That line
359
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.759
was was rocking. Then you can move gritz Yuk back
360
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:31.359
down to that third line with Connor Brown, Cody, mister
361
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:32.920
Glass who.
362
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.839
Knows when he's gonna come back. There's another one for you.
363
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:42.839
Yeah, that sucks him and mick Ewen or h McK ewen.
364
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.319
There's another one that just went right in and right
365
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:45.759
back out.
366
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.720
But I won't say this came in freaking is a
367
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:50.920
beast in the face off cercle Man.
368
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:57.799
He crushing awesome acquisition PK. His PK has been incredible
369
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:01.599
this year. Yeah, and getting him and Connor Brown back
370
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.279
on the PK, it's gonna be it's gonna be massive
371
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.680
for sure, for sure, and like definitely, I don't know, man,
372
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.759
there's there's there's a couple of things that I wish
373
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.759
that they could do. There's always names that are floated
374
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.440
out there, but then it's like you said, like the
375
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.920
cost of like doing any kind of business, even like
376
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.039
joking around before when you're like, oh, well, if you
377
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.920
want Brady, it's gonna cost you, and I'm like, yeah,
378
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.000
no kidding, Like if they wanted to do anything, they're
379
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:34.599
gonna have to get rid of something of of any significant,
380
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:39.240
you know, like in reality looking at the money, if
381
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.720
they could find a way to move Dougie Hamilton, who's
382
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.000
unfortunately hurt right now but soon coming back, And not
383
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.160
that we want to see Dougie Hamilton go, but it
384
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:51.559
just it makes the most sense because of age, the
385
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.079
way that Namachen and.
386
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.119
Well it's a nine million dollar contract is yeah, nine
387
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:57.640
million dollars contracts.
388
00:21:59.000 --> 00:21:59.480
Exactly.
389
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:00.640
It's nothing. Yeah, believe that.
390
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.240
The same thing with pot It's it's not really if
391
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.440
Pulot was making a mill or two, if he was
392
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.240
making the same contract as danning Off, I'd be like, yeah,
393
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:14.160
there you go. But six million dollars, that's that's a lot.
394
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:14.920
Of money, is there.
395
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.279
Yeah, And and just getting those moved off is not
396
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:21.400
It's not easy. And I hate when people are like, oh,
397
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:24.039
just just send them, send them here or send them there.
398
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:26.880
It's like even if you send them somewhere and you
399
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.640
get nothing return, you know, like you remember a couple
400
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.359
of years ago, there's like tons of those trades like oh,
401
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.119
they took this guy for future consideration or you know,
402
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.240
like it was always like those trade deadline deals were
403
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.559
like Anaheim would pick up some no name guy from
404
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:47.839
a team. It was definitely and it was like it
405
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:51.240
was a freaking cap dumb and the entire world could
406
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.640
see it and it'd be like, what are you trading
407
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.200
them for? And like, I don't know, we don't know.
408
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:56.000
We're just taking the money for right now and then
409
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.319
we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out later. So yeah,
410
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:02.319
I don't know if they're gonna be able to do
411
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:04.880
anything like that. I don't think there's there's an opportunity
412
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:09.200
to do anything like that. If you're gonna move somebody like,
413
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:11.359
you also have to take in consideration. I believe like
414
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:13.799
both of them have no you know, at least a
415
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.880
five team trade, like a five team list right.
416
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:18.400
Like.
417
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:23.559
I think it's has the no trade movement or the
418
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.119
no trade clause or the no whatever the hell like
419
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:27.680
whatever those the two of those things.
420
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:28.559
He's got to know.
421
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:31.640
I think they both have no movement clause instead of
422
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.480
kicked in so.
423
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:38.000
Yeah, which means they would have to approve the trade,
424
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:39.720
which also makes it harder.
425
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:41.400
Yeah.
426
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:43.519
No, it'll be tough, and Dougie doesn't want to go,
427
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:45.960
and I get it. We'll we'll see what happens with it.
428
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.200
They do have to do something. But I definitely agree
429
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.880
here with our buddy Max Jay Snow is saying he'd
430
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.680
rather see Grits you any day over dand and Off.
431
00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:56.440
I don't know.
432
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:01.319
I I prefer to stretch the I mean maybe Dananoff
433
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:03.000
could be would be fine on like a third or
434
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:08.640
fourth line obviously, but I think he could really he's
435
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:12.880
got finish, you know, he's almost like how like Tifoli
436
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:15.279
was where if you just put him out there and
437
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:15.920
you feed.
438
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:17.880
Him, he's gonna he's gonna put it home.
439
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.839
And I feel like Jasper and Jack could really use
440
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:22.680
a guy like that.
441
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.519
Now, Gritz, you can grow and develop.
442
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.119
Into that type of player, which I think he probably
443
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:31.640
will because he has that shot and he's not afraid
444
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:35.359
to let it rip. But if you put him down
445
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:39.519
on the third line, now, say with Brown and Glass,
446
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:43.880
if everything was healthy and working correctly, now you've spread
447
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:47.279
out your offense through those three lines. I don't know,
448
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.960
I feel like that's a you know, Gritz, youk being
449
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.359
a threat down there playing against other third lines.
450
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:55.240
I don't know.
451
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.480
I just I just like the way that that works
452
00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:59.880
better in my head. And yeah, I don't think we've
453
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.960
given the Jack Jasper dandin off combo enough time to
454
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.359
really see how it would play out. But in my mind,
455
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.960
when you have that depth, spread the offense at so
456
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:15.480
you spread the other team thin trying to defend more
457
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:17.799
and more and more. You know, if you could spread
458
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:19.640
that offense through those four lines, that's what I was
459
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:21.160
talking about, rolling four lines, you know.
460
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:24.960
So that's just my perspective on it.
461
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.680
I could be way off I'm not an NHL coach,
462
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:29.160
but that's just my thinking on it.
463
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.400
No, yeah, obviously you want balance, right, you don't want
464
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.519
that to be how it was last year where you
465
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.440
roll the third and fourth lines out and you knew
466
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:42.200
you weren't getting a goddamn thing out of either of those,
467
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.359
you know, and it sucked because you know, you guys
468
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.799
like Mercer that were getting sucked into those lines, and
469
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.000
it was like, no, wonder why he was having down years.
470
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.359
Look at what happens when Mercer plays in the top lines,
471
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.400
Like this, dude's having an outstanding year so far. And like,
472
00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:59.720
the one thing that I love about Mercer is he
473
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.599
his compete level is unreal, absolutely unreal. And if you
474
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:08.160
let him use the word match rate again, like if
475
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:10.559
you let him get to the point where he's playing
476
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:13.920
with Nico all season or a good chunk of this season,
477
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.200
and he can really start to pick up on Nico's
478
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:20.400
game and become like another really reliable two way guy.
479
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.160
I've the sky's a limit for him. And by the way,
480
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:28.240
another name that everybody was throwing around, like all right,
481
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:30.759
we could trade him, We're done with him. He's not
482
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.920
doing any good. He's playing like garbage, like it's time
483
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:39.279
to move dawstin Mercer. Obviously, you know the GMS in
484
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:42.440
the league. Fitzgerald gets paid to do this because he's
485
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:45.000
way smarter than any of us, because we look at
486
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:46.599
some guys and we're like, hey, it's done, he's done.
487
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.319
And it's a give and take.
488
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:49.480
Right.
489
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:51.839
Everybody makes mistakes, and there's a lot of dumb trades
490
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:53.920
and a lot of like bad contracts that they signed
491
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:56.400
and stuff. But for the most part, like you look
492
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.000
at this team and how it's constructed, like it's it's
493
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.839
a pretty solid team, and I think that's the most
494
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:06.799
important part. Like losing Jack sucks, don't get me wrong,
495
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:10.799
Like that is brutal, absolutely brutal. You hope the team
496
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:13.240
can play like not even I hate when people are
497
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:15.880
like five hundred hockey, Like just play five hundred. It's
498
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:18.519
like no, no, no, no. You want to play like six
499
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:20.839
fifty seven to twenty five, Like you want to play
500
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:23.720
above average, Like you still want to be like get
501
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:24.480
that like three weeks.
502
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:26.759
You want to keep the same mentality, Yeah, you.
503
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:28.200
Want to get the same mentality. You don't want to
504
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:30.000
take a step back and I and I keep.
505
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.880
Yeah it's not like, oh, well, this is good enough
506
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:34.279
because Jack's not around.
507
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:38.319
No, hell no, no, and you don't have the same everything.
508
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.640
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You don't want to have that fallback
509
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.720
of like, well, if we had Jack, you know, like yeah,
510
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.519
and it's obvious, yeah, of course, if you had Jack,
511
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:51.200
things would be better, things will be a lot easier.
512
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:56.359
I mean, it's look at that Chicago game alone, that
513
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:01.799
was the Jack Hughes show. Those everything dude, he was.
514
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:05.519
You wouldn't know it because if you're watching ESPN broadcasts,
515
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:08.200
counter Burdard was, you know, the second Coming of Christ
516
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.000
out there. He scores a goal and they're like, oh
517
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.920
my god, look at the goal that he scores, and
518
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:18.960
it's like he scored. He scored because Markstrom. Markstrom was
519
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.680
thirty five feet out of the goddang curse.
520
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:23.279
Oh he did the Swedish fish.
521
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.599
Yeah, man, yeah. He was like so I'm watching that
522
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:28.720
play develop and I'm like, what the hell is happening
523
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:31.000
right now? Why is he doing this? And I saw it,
524
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.799
you know, he pulled himself out of position and he
525
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.319
tried to dive back, and he's he flounders around. He's
526
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.680
got that Dominic Costic dog in him. But it was
527
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:41.920
a five month th saw.
528
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:44.519
He tried to pull off like every like you.
529
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:46.920
Know, he's even like hold out the paddle to the
530
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:52.240
arms scorpion. He's rot like every possible likes. It's like
531
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:57.920
nineteen nineties remix of like Brodeur and Why and Hashik
532
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:01.039
and like all these old timey goaltenders.
533
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:04.599
Yeah, I mean like and when he slip arounds and stuff.
534
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:08.119
I'm rolling on his back like, dude, just stay in
535
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.240
the stay in the crease please, and uh he yeah,
536
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:15.400
he had that. He had that wild you know, let's
537
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:17.759
the that goal. But Dard scores. If he didn't score
538
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.000
that goal, that would have been like an absolute laugher
539
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:24.960
because there's literally Seagan Thaler was kind of in the way,
540
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.440
but not really you know what I mean, Like Seagan
541
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.759
Follower tried but it was a wide open nut. So
542
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:32.960
of course you're gonna score. You should score and listen.
543
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:35.960
But Dard is a superstar. The kid is having an
544
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.240
unreal year. He's like second in the league in scoring.
545
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:45.640
He's yeah, he's a generational talent and rightfully, dude, celebrating
546
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.920
is no joke. Like both both those guys are so good. Dude,
547
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:50.680
actually be.
548
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:53.920
One well I'm well, yeah, that'll be cool.
549
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:55.680
And I was just gonna say it's actually fun out
550
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.160
here on the West Coast because I got you know,
551
00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:00.400
I gotta have esp Plus to watch the game games.
552
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.480
So yeah, the Sharks are actually a lot of fun
553
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:06.400
to watch now. They were fun to watch before because
554
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.880
they were comically bad. But you know, like you can
555
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:10.759
hear the Benny Hill music in the background a lot
556
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:11.079
of times.
557
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.759
They got celebrity.
558
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:16.799
They got Will Smith, they got like that Will Smith dude,
559
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:24.359
as well mantact and you know what it's it's like
560
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:26.319
one of those things gm.
561
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.559
Who he was used to be on the Devils.
562
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:34.559
He was the Greer, is it Greer?
563
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:34.880
Yes?
564
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:37.519
My Greer? Yeah right, my Greer.
565
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:43.559
Yeah yeah, he's put it together a squad and and
566
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:46.400
it's funny like when we went on that West Coast swing,
567
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:51.519
the old mentality of like the Ducks the Sharks, Okay,
568
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:56.000
we'll be fine, and we were clearly not fine because
569
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:59.359
they were no longer just the Ducks and the Sharks.
570
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:03.880
They're they're playing really good hockey. Dude. Everybody everybody's like, oh,
571
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.799
the Rangers, fleece the Ducks. Look at what the Rangers did.
572
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:10.680
And I'm like, Okay, Crider is a huge addition to
573
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:18.759
that team. They are so well balanced and young talent.
574
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:21.680
That is such a well balanced team in that regard.
575
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:24.319
Like they're good and they're fun. They're funny to watch.
576
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:25.319
They fly.
577
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:29.200
Yeah, and they got rid of the Gibson contract, which
578
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:32.960
was huge for them. And we'll see if they keep
579
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.240
them all together. That'll be the thing for Anaheim is
580
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.279
and they keep them all together or are they gonna
581
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.480
like let all these guys kind of like split like
582
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.559
the Marlins would do in baseball. You know, like we'll
583
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:51.720
see what they actually decide on. But yeah, no, they
584
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.920
now the West Coast is woof the beast.
585
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.799
Yeah, seattles, no jokes, seattles that like a steady team
586
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:04.039
like the L. A. T. Lanch. Look, the Avalanche a
587
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.440
back to being just obviously the dominant. Like the Avalanche
588
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:11.319
are like they're they're they're just hitting their stride. The
589
00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:13.400
Kings are like the least of the problem out there,
590
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:15.599
and the Kings are not even that bad. It's like crazy,
591
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:21.480
like the West has definitely bolstered itself and it's stacked.
592
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:23.000
Dallas is always there too.
593
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:24.759
Man, Dallas is always there.
594
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:29.839
Yeah, Dallas like another pushover in the recent years has
595
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:33.000
been Chicago and now all of a sudden, you see
596
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:35.400
these guys. Do you see this team starting to play
597
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:36.480
and turn it around.
598
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.119
Yeah, they're they're They're another team that is is they're
599
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:44.480
dangerous and we saw it in the game, like and
600
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:49.519
that was that listen, Jack Hughes, My god, that was
601
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:51.480
just that was the jack Ques show. And if anybody
602
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.279
walked away from that like Jack Ques is not a superstar,
603
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:56.880
you're out of your mind. Like he was all over
604
00:32:56.920 --> 00:33:00.720
the ice, he was back checking, he was he was
605
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.079
everywhere on the ice in that game. And I was like,
606
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:08.599
he's single handedly helped win that game, you know what
607
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:11.200
I mean. Like the setup, the setup on the Nemage
608
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:12.960
goal where he got the pass over to Uh to
609
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.480
Nason and Nason like that pass the Nason was like
610
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:18.519
a no look past. It was like ridiculous. Puts it
611
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:23.000
on his tape right so far. And Nasan just had
612
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.839
a slam dunk pass over to Namas which is just
613
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:26.720
like you.
614
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:28.519
Oh that was the one too where he like it
615
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:32.640
went off the end of his stick and went like
616
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:35.400
you're just like get in, getting get it, getting get again.
617
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.599
You know, It's like yeah, but man, that was a
618
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:41.559
beautiful right across it was.
619
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:45.599
And don't forget like Jack had like three breakaways in
620
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:48.519
that game. The Chicago goaltender stood on his head. And
621
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:51.160
I get because whenever the Devil's play anybody like their
622
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:53.640
goaltenders start playing like Marty for some reason.
623
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:57.240
But well, wasn't it Spencer Knight.
624
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:02.839
Spencer Knight, Yeah, listen he the end of the game
625
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:04.000
we got But like.
626
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:08.119
Well, I was comparing him almost to like Mackenzie Blackwood,
627
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:11.039
because Spencer Knight was supposed to be wasn't he supposed
628
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:13.239
to be the next big thing for the Florida Panthers,
629
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:15.800
that big goltending prospect that's gonna come in. And Bob
630
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.159
Rosco is like, the keep hearing this and start winning
631
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.039
cups well, and then.
632
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.719
I believe now he's also went through some some off
633
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:28.480
the ice issues with like mental health, I believe, and
634
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.639
took some time away from hockey for a little bit,
635
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:32.199
but got himself back together.
636
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:37.000
Well either way, he put it together nowgo and and
637
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.320
he's playing top notch like a lot of people expected him.
638
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:42.119
It could have been maybe too much pressure, just like
639
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:45.280
Mackenzie Blackwood. Maybe in Jersey, like at first it might
640
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:48.119
have been too much pressure on him, or maybe he
641
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:51.320
needed that more. We talked about this, that that leadership,
642
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:53.519
that more veteran leadership to put him in place, you know,
643
00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:54.840
and just be like do this kid.
644
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.719
So whatever it is for Blackwood and for.
645
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:01.239
Spencer Knight, it seems used to be working well on
646
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:02.679
the on these follow up teams, so.
647
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:03.199
Good for them.
648
00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:12.880
Yeah, exactly, Rangers, Rangers lose. Thank you for those two
649
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:14.679
kids that are coming up in this draft that are
650
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:19.199
absolutely unreal. And I like the kid in the Penn
651
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:21.920
State McKennon, McKinnon, is that his name?
652
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.480
What you said, the crucify?
653
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.159
I know he's gonna somebody's gonna crucify me for not
654
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:33.559
knowing who's only the protected first overall, pick I got
655
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:34.159
my own problem.
656
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:38.920
Must he must be the control board? He said, Penn
657
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:40.320
State and Indian Pop.
658
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:46.280
Gavin McKenna, Thank you, Gavin McKenna, Gavin McKennis, Gavin McKenna,
659
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:50.480
thank you, Sam. And then apparently there's this defenseman who's
660
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:54.519
like he might overtake that number one spot because he's
661
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:58.719
like unreal, y know, and shout. And here's another that
662
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:01.719
the kid in the in uh In on the Islanders
663
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:06.079
right now. Schaeffer the number first overall pick this year. Dude,
664
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:09.360
good on. That kid is like and he's unreal. He
665
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:14.239
like leads to the league or league leads the league's
666
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:18.159
defenseman and goals. I believe like he's having an unreal
667
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:21.800
eighteen years old. Eighteen years old and this kid has
668
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:24.840
like stepped in and has just been like unreal. I'm
669
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.199
telling you, like I know, kind of said it before.
670
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:29.840
I'm looking I'm so looking forward to the Olympics this
671
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:33.639
year because I feel like the Four Nations last year
672
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:37.360
was was fun. But I feel like the Olympics this year,
673
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:42.159
it's like these teams have a lot of choices. You know,
674
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:48.679
Canada team Canada is the US. Both both have to
675
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:50.920
be at like salivating at some of these kids that
676
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.880
are like just playing out of their minds like unreal.
677
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:58.760
Oh yeah, of course, I'm I'm still leery of it
678
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.400
because I know someone's gonna get been with the devils
679
00:37:03.039 --> 00:37:07.239
and just be you know, another another chapter in the
680
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:13.719
Book of eighty two Injuries and eighty two games. Yeahs,
681
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:25.280
put put it in the booksh.
682
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.119
He's gonna be a pain in our ass for sure
683
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:27.039
for a decade. You got that red dubs. That kid
684
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:29.960
is like and the Islanders are dude, the Islanders are
685
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:33.920
looking not bad either. Like there's certain teams that are
686
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:36.079
like just putting, you know, putting together. And like when
687
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:38.320
we played the Islanders the other night, like I was like, damn,
688
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:42.519
these guys like are suffocating, you know, like there's a
689
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:46.639
lot of that that stank of like the old Devil's
690
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:50.119
style of play kind of in there. But like then
691
00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:51.800
you see Paul Mary score that goal and you're like,
692
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:55.360
all right, come on, like, really, we had to do that.
693
00:37:56.599 --> 00:37:58.480
You had to do that, Pomps, you had to do that.
694
00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:02.840
We as erected your career. You bum No, I'm just kidding.
695
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:07.639
I actually that's the player. I was a huge fan
696
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:11.679
of him when he was here. I can't I can't
697
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:13.400
this getting a Paul Mary jersey too.
698
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:16.280
But now you're me. But now you're dad.
699
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:23.679
You understand, you mean nothing, You get nothing and like it.
700
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:32.079
Ohy lifting drink and now you play for the Islanders.
701
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:43.079
Oh man, But yeah, let's see, man, it'll be interesting.
702
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:47.320
It's gonna be interesting. You know that this now seven
703
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:49.159
weeks and I'm counting this as a whole week, right
704
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:52.800
that he got hurt. So that's seven weeks of the surgery.
705
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:54.719
Eight weeks from the surgery. Right.
706
00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:58.480
One day was the surgery Wednesday?
707
00:38:58.599 --> 00:38:59.079
Yesterday?
708
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:00.559
Was it?
709
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:01.559
No, it wasn't Wednesday.
710
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:03.039
I think it was.
711
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:04.199
I was maybe it was Wednesday.
712
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:08.679
It was pretty quick. It was pretty quick, I think.
713
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:13.639
I mean, I think we who spilt that drink? Who's
714
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:17.800
the who is the who spilt their drink?
715
00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:25.840
First off, you see Andre in the background make fun
716
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:31.800
of me and by six billion dollars will you?
717
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:37.000
Suddenly the scene all the Devil's players turn into like
718
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.719
Simpson's animation, you know, you seem pull out in the
719
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:40.599
background like.
720
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:46.400
Excellent, or like it's Scooby Dude. They're like that waiter
721
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:49.480
just stabbed Jack Hughes's hand and they catch him and
722
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:51.519
they're like, let's do this waiter really is? They take
723
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:53.000
off the mask and r like Audre.
724
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:57.519
I didn't want to get traded.
725
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:02.159
I needed to get money from my contract. And it
726
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:04.119
was like that mentioned Luke who caught him. He's like,
727
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:05.400
I would have got away with it, but it was
728
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:09.480
for your damn kids. Did they say damn kids were
729
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:11.760
medaling kids, meddling kids? I don't think they'd say.
730
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:13.639
I don't think this is I don't think there's a damn
731
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:14.440
in the cartoon.
732
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:17.920
No, No, it was you know, it was the eighties.
733
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:19.960
You know, times are different back then.
734
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:22.440
Do I think it was the seventies or the sixties,
735
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:28.679
whatever it was. We just watched them in the eighties
736
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:32.159
because they were on TV and we didn't have the
737
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:33.760
Internet to choose things.
738
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:40.519
Like, oh boy, that's the most BS story. His hand
739
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:44.000
went through a glass. Come on, Jason.
740
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:49.320
I mean, yeah, someone someone spilt a drink somewhere. Who
741
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.719
knows who it was when it happened or whatever, but apparently,
742
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:56.639
you know, Jack slipped in it and went down and boom,
743
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.519
which I mean I could see happening if the if
744
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:03.039
the weight staff probably didn't if they didn't know about it.
745
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:05.840
But I mean restaurants are you know, the lighting is
746
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:09.679
usually dimmed. It's not you know, bright lights everywhere, you know,
747
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:12.400
sometimes especially in little steakhouse like that.
748
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:17.519
Yeah, yeah, it's I didn't see anything.
749
00:41:18.280 --> 00:41:20.880
Boom boom, down and down. I mean, it's a freak accident.
750
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:25.039
It sucks, but it is what it is. We're gonna
751
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:25.639
have to move forward.
752
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:30.199
It is funny that we you know, Duves is right.
753
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:34.800
We will never know the true story unless like somebody, Oh.
754
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:37.519
They'll be like the dark Side of the Hockey, Dark
755
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:41.079
side of NHL, like at some point and then you know.
756
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:46.119
The infamous Chicago cut.
757
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:51.559
Yeah, Jack slipped, I'm not reading Bet, I don't read that.
758
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:52.400
Don't read that.
759
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:56.639
I'm not I'm not a good thing. Sam, you understand.
760
00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:58.679
You put it on a teleprompter. I'm gonna read it.
761
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:02.079
You understand, don't, Sam? What are you doing?
762
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:02.480
Yeah?
763
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:06.280
Like Anchorman over here, if you put it on the
764
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:08.599
text message, he's just gonna read it out loud.
765
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:15.039
More likely, good Sandy.
766
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:18.679
Yeah, that the the old the old tendons there, but
767
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:22.760
I think it was on his his uh pinky pink.
768
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:25.079
Yeah, he doesn't eat that one.
769
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:35.039
Yeah, I said that. Yeah, do cut it off. Cut
770
00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:35.519
it off.
771
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.960
Like like Luke Skywalker or something like that. You know,
772
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:41.280
you can always wear the glove.
773
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:43.239
Done and done.
774
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:48.679
There you go, done, done. Nobody will ever twenty five.
775
00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:50.159
They got to be able to do that now, right.
776
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:50.679
Yeah.
777
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:53.960
They got hands, Yeah, sure, robot hands.
778
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:59.039
Come on, Yeah, you got hands everywhere? I know what, guy,
779
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:03.840

We just call him Robot Hand, and we call him

784
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:21.480
robot hand. You know, by the way, that's so true.
785
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:28.920
Robot Hey, RoboCop, you bust anybody.
786

I mean, let's hope that it just it. Heals nicely.

00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.079
Chicks dig scars. So there you going, Jack.

Yeah, eight weeks. It be the Jack Hughes Revenge.
804
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:37.320
Tour signed Tye Smith to feed him. Oh man, I'm
805
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:39.880
sure ty Smith would come running out of the KHL
806
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:42.760
probably back to the States or wherever he's playing right now.
807
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:44.960
Make steaks for Jack.
808
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:46.159

811
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:11.639
the poll. Yeah, Oh, tush push t d Max. Nobody
812
00:45:11.639 --> 00:45:14.119
cares about the touch push to the legal play and
813
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:17.360
they jump off sides every time. This is the last

00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:19.519
year of it, so I hope you enjoy it and
815
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:20.960
you're dirty cheating birds.
816
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:24.880
Oh the Icelanders are playing the Ams.
817
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:27.599
Right now, okay, and wants to score in that one.
818
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:30.280
I don't know.
819
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:32.639
I actually I have the football game on in the background,
820
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:36.000
but I can't even really see it. Let me don't
821
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:38.039
think it looks like oh yeah, it looks like yeah,
822
00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:50.119
I see hurts push boushush push. But yeah, oh they're
823
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:51.079
winning one nothing.
824
00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:54.519
Winning one nothing, the Canucks one six to two over
825
00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:59.159
the Lightning. But the Lightnings they're brutal right now, Red
826
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.159
Wings one two to one over the Rags, wild one
827
00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:06.440
three and overtime over the Golden Nights.
828
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:12.119
Jay Snow, we're hoping, yeah, we're hoping that Jack gets
829
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:17.960
back before the Olympic break, which I believe is the
830
00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:19.360
physic the first week.
831
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:28.679
When is the Olympics twenty twenty six in February?
832
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:34.880
Well, I know that February sixth through the twenty second,
833
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:39.639
so Jack is due to be back. I think like
834
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:48.159
in mid January, Like let's just say January the twelfth.
835
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:50.559
You know he wants to be there.
836
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:53.360
What on Team USA?
837
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:54.840
M hm?
838
00:46:56.000 --> 00:46:58.000
Well, I mean I'm sure of course he does. But
839
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.199
if you can't, can't. But we'd like to get them
840
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:04.760
back lane for you know, the devils.
841
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:05.679
Mm hmm.
842
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:09.199
I care more about the Stanley.
843
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:13.599
Cup, not a gold medal, although a gold medal would
844
00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:17.400
be sweet. How did did the US released during new
845
00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:20.760
the jersey for the Olympics?
846
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:21.639
I don't know.
847
00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:24.920
The Canada ones look pretty cool, except.
848
00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:27.880
One thing about the Canada jersey that bugs the hell
849
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:30.519
out of me is if you if you turn around
850
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:34.000
on the back, the two lines like the stripes at
851
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.760
the bottom stop they don't like meet. So there's like
852
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:42.079
this weird gap. It looks unfinished. It's like you'll have
853
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.360
to see it. It's like very bizarre. I guess it
854
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:47.400
will probably look better. I saw on a jersey that
855
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:49.039
didn't have any numbers or anything on it, so I
856
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:53.119
sure like with numbers and everything. It it'll look like
857
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.639
a lot better. But h I don't know. Maybe it
858
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:02.760
was somebody from h Team Canada went after Jack. First
859
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:07.480
they got the Ka Chuck brothers and now they got Hughes. Oh,
860
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:14.519
conspiracy theory, Sam Team Canada is targeting the US born players.
861
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:16.960
No, Jack's just the klutz, that's all.
862
00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:19.679
Come on, damn. I thought that was right up your alley.
863
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:22.840
That was such a good like Sam Wu conspiracy theory.
864
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:29.639
Never mind, he got new cowboy boots and they were
865
00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:30.760
just slippery, you know.
866
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:35.599
Those tap shoes.
867
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:39.400
I was just thinking of the one Seinfeld episode where
868
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:41.079
Jerry has to wear the cowboy boots and he.
869
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:50.000
Falls all over the place. Yeah, well, hello, Sam Wu,
870
00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:51.519
Look who's here?
871
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:53.519
What's up? Guys?
872
00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:55.800
You wake up from your nap?
873
00:48:56.679 --> 00:49:00.239
Sure did well, nappy time? Sure did.
874
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:02.760
What's the energy now? Okay?
875
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:07.039
No, I was just trolling the socials outside of YouTube.
876
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:13.480
Just trolling the socials. Where was that?
877
00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:17.760
Where was sam the other day instead of watching getting candy?
878
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:19.880
Where were you getting candy at quick chank?
879
00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:21.480
Oh?
880
00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:22.039
Okay?
881
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:23.119
That was yesterday?
882
00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:23.880
Was yesterday?
883
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:24.840
Yeah, it was yesterday.
884
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:28.679
Because Sam Wu doesn't like woah wah unless they sponsored
885
00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:31.000
Alesco Devil's Podcast, and then Sam would.
886
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:37.440
Love difference, Big difference. I can be bought.
887
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:42.119
At a relatively fair price as well.
888
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:49.119
Wah wah coffee.
889
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:51.320
What you need to know? Yeah?
890
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:02.440
Yeah, right, Brown and Dougie back at practice tomorrow, So
891
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:11.079
they say, dubs hopefully, hopefully, just like they said Dougie
892
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:14.800
would only be out a week, and yet he's already
893
00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:16.880
been out a week and he has not practiced yet.
894
00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:20.320
So let's hope that they are.
895
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:26.320
And the Devil's you know, maybe maybe one if we're lucky.
896
00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:32.360
Both rejoined the team before heading down to Uh did
897
00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:34.440
they play Tampa first? And yeah, they play Tampa first,
898
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:43.000
and then and then the Panthers I believe, right, Sampa Bay.
899
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:46.519
Tampa Bay first, right, Okay, then.
900
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:49.800
The Panthers on the twentieth, and then the Flyers.
901
00:50:50.920 --> 00:51:02.159

like Jack hughesed too.
906
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:26.280
It's like the hand from It's like the hand from
907
00:51:26.639 --> 00:51:28.400
Tommy Boy.
908
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:33.800
Hold your six hundred down soda here with this buy
909
00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:35.519
on a can from Jack.
910
00:51:41.280 --> 00:51:45.800
I can't open jelly. I wish somebody had a cand
911
00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:48.920
Here comes Jack and he opens it and he gives
912
00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:50.800
it back to Lou and throws it against the wall.
913
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:52.239
Mm hmmm.
914
00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:59.360
Whenever Lou La Moreau Ring of Honor night is, which
915
00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:01.199
by the way, I have a feeling it's going to
916
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:04.800
be this year because he's not he's not working with
917
00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:06.719
the Islanders. I don't think he's not working with the
918
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:14.159
Islanders anymore. Can you retire? You can't retire a general manager?
919
00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:17.000
Can you? Liked? They wouldn't do that, Like they wouldn't
920
00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:19.079
put his number. It's it's he doesn't.
921
00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:20.880
Have a number. It's a dollar.
922
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:26.920
But yeah, it's a jar. It's a jar of jelly.
923
00:52:27.719 --> 00:52:35.440
And like Lamorello, I mean stuff like that. Yeah. True.
924
00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:37.840
But do they hang their their names up with the
925
00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:39.920
in the rafters? That's what I'm saying. Do they do that?
926
00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:44.840
It?
927
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:46.519
No, he was a ring of Honor?
928
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:50.840
Well, yeah, that's what I mean. He's in the Ring
929
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:51.239
of Honor.
930
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:57.880
Hold on, there's drones flying over my house constantly, and
931
00:52:58.159 --> 00:53:01.679
one of them is really low and I can hear
932
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:04.480
it's like rattling my room.
933
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:06.320
You want to talk to conspiracy theories.
934
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:11.599
M hmm, not whether it's a drone over my head. No,
935
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:17.920
it's all good. It's all good. American's great, everything's cool.
936
00:53:17.920 --> 00:53:22.840
Don't worry about everything. Everyone's doing great. Everyone's doing great.
937
00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:30.079
Don't worry. Oh Christmas, uh you know, uh. Jack hues
938
00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:34.039
the one the last thing I want to say about
939
00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:36.760
this whole injury thing, and Scotty brought it up kind
940
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:39.400
of like tongue in cheek before about like, you know, Jack,
941
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:41.880
he kind of always gets hurt. Like the three things
942
00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:47.239
you can guarantee are death taxes and Jack Hughes getting hurt.
943
00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:49.519
He does come out back at like a great time.
944
00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:51.960
This is just one of those things. Like he was
945
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:56.199
in such a good flow right the one time he
946
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:58.519
was like on a three point a game pace it
947
00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:01.760
felt like and he broke shoulder and you're like, dude,
948
00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:09.119
what the hell? So, whoever's got like some reverse the
949
00:54:09.239 --> 00:54:11.920
curse kind of stuff out there, if anybody knows like
950
00:54:11.960 --> 00:54:17.320
a witch doctor or a voodoo technician or somebody that
951
00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:22.679
can reverse the maloic, please reverse the injury bug on
952
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:25.440
his team, because it is getting to the point where
953
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:29.199
it's like unbelievably ridiculous and I hate and by the way,
954
00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:33.559
people are really good detruding stuff. Yeah. Sure the training
955
00:54:33.599 --> 00:54:35.559
staff spilled the water on the floor that made them
956
00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:37.760
trip and fall on a piece of glass or the
957
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:41.360
training glasses is the reason why McEwan went into the
958
00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:44.360
boards awkwardly in his knee, or the fact that glass
959
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:47.119
felt and just slid into the boards a la Jack
960
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:51.719
hues right into his shoulder like that stuff is ridiculous,
961
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:55.239
Like strength and training is not going to prevent some
962
00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:57.800
of these injuries. Like some of them maybe, yeah, but
963
00:54:58.199 --> 00:55:03.079
for the most part now and we're getting right.
964
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:04.599
Now.
965
00:55:04.679 --> 00:55:06.599
I was just gonna say, we should probably go right
966
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:11.440
into our final thoughts here, and I know, for me,
967
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:17.880
my final thought for this team is just you can't
968
00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:22.239
We talked about it before, but you can't lower expectations
969
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:25.159
just because the injuries are there. We all know they
970
00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:29.480
can't be an excuse. They need to pull together and
971
00:55:29.519 --> 00:55:32.079
they need guys to step up. And so far, some
972
00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:36.239
of the youngest two guys on the team have been well.
973
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:38.920
I guess Kritzyuki's been playing a while on the KHLO
974
00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:39.840
he's a couple years older.
975
00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:40.679
But still.
976
00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:45.800
They have done such an incredible job stepping up into
977
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:51.280
those roles, seizing opportunities for the spotlight to be on them,
978
00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:56.960
and they've done really well. But let's hope they can continue.
979
00:55:56.960 --> 00:56:00.320
But let's also hope that our bigger stars also lead
980
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:05.320
the way. The Nicos, the Temos, the Jaspers, Jake the
981
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:10.000
Snake Allen looks fabulous in Net. Marky's still I don't know.
982
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:11.480
I don't think he's still. I don't know if he's
983
00:56:11.480 --> 00:56:15.480
one hundred percent just yet. But having that reliability of
984
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:19.440
Jake the Snake Allen back there in Net is crucial
985
00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:23.320
for this team during this time because they need that
986
00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:29.079
timely goaltending because they are so banged up. Yeah, just
987
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:31.559
to keep the team in the game focused moving forward.
988
00:56:31.880 --> 00:56:36.599
It's gonna be huge from the goal out, Yeah, for
989
00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:39.480
this team young defense.
990
00:56:39.480 --> 00:56:43.280
And that's my final thoughts the school boys.
991
00:56:43.559 --> 00:56:47.119
Uh final thoughts are, yeah, don't just stay above five hundred.
992
00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:50.719
I love the echo what you said of don't let
993
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:54.480
the injury be the excuse, right, There is no excuse,
994
00:56:55.000 --> 00:56:57.400
it's just the next man up. If you want to
995
00:56:57.400 --> 00:56:59.239
make an excuse that you don't belong in the ice
996
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:02.639
like you don't be, don't be the excuse be. The
997
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:05.920
answer is how it should always be and if you're
998
00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:07.960
looking at yourself in the mirror as a team and
999
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:10.000
as you're and if you're looking at in the mirror,
1000
00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:17.199
well kind of yeah, it does. If there's a lot
1001
00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:19.920
of things that you want to say, there's that's like
1002
00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:24.440
the very PG way of saying like, don't be don't
1003
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:26.719
be a jerk, you know, and that's the even PG
1004
00:57:26.840 --> 00:57:31.400
way of saying it too. But anyways, no, but seriously,
1005
00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:34.559
you this is the golden opportunity for a lot of
1006
00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:37.119
these guys, and it's and it's an opportunity for for
1007
00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:41.000
you know, Dawson Mercer to you know, keep doing what
1008
00:57:41.039 --> 00:57:43.199
he's doing and to keep maturing the way he's maturing.
1009
00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:45.480
I think having the fourth line and the third line
1010
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:47.679
where Connor Brown, like we said before, coming back, is
1011
00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:51.679
gonna be huge for this team in multiple ways. I mean, uh,
1012
00:57:51.840 --> 00:57:55.599
the p K alone desperately needs him back. It would
1013
00:57:55.639 --> 00:57:57.599
be great to get some updates. I think that is
1014
00:57:57.679 --> 00:58:00.920
That is my one big beef with with injuries on
1015
00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:03.199
this team is that the updates are always far and
1016
00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:06.119
few between of like when they're coming back or or
1017
00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:09.800
what's actually going on. You know, Paeshi has been out
1018
00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:12.079
for a couple of weeks now, and I don't even
1019
00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:14.119
know what the timetable is. Maybe they said it and
1020
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:15.960
maybe I missed it. Maybe it's one of those things
1021
00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:20.000
that's reported but not overly reported. And that's also, you know,
1022
00:58:20.119 --> 00:58:23.519
that's just hockey, because it's not like it's getting the
1023
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:27.400
airwaves lighting up, because you know, w f A, n
1024
00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:31.920
ESPN Radio, the two major networks out here barely cover
1025
00:58:32.280 --> 00:58:34.719
hockey as is. But we're making a change. And that
1026
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:37.760
goes to Sam and what they're doing over there and
1027
00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:41.320
trying to make the make a difference and guys like
1028
00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:45.000
Whimpy calling in at five am talking Devil's hockey. So
1029
00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:48.440
I tell you, boys, I feel like the Devils are
1030
00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:50.360
in good hands with Sheldon Keith. I feel like they're
1031
00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:52.480
gonna be the ship is gonna be okay. I don't
1032
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:55.000
think it's gonna it's gonna waver either way. And I
1033
00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:58.239
think that the boys are understanding of what the task is.
1034
00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:00.480
So just can't wait to see what we do in
1035
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:06.320
the next couple of weeks. Very nice, really long final film.
1036
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:11.880
I'll make mine short. What I was really impressed about
1037
00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:16.920
with the Devils against.
1038
00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:23.519
My chair correct, I was just moving, So what was.
1039
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:28.480
I impressed with the Devils against the Caps that they
1040
00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:31.920
weren't like waiting for somebody else to take an initiative
1041
00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:37.400
or being like a victim like whate was me. No,
1042
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:40.440
they went out there to take the opportunity and a
1043
00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:42.239
lot of the a lot of these guys are hungry
1044
00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:45.960
to be in the lineup. Shane la Chance first NHL
1045
00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:52.400
game and uh, you've got we We've talked about Nemetz,
1046
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:55.400
but you know other guys that you know, Glenn Denning
1047
00:59:55.559 --> 01:00:00.000
winning those face offs just just just was a machine
1048
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:03.880
out there, because you know, every little bit counts, and
1049
01:00:03.960 --> 01:00:08.119
Max's every point counts, every little thing you do in
1050
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:11.559
each shift counts, and they add up. And if you're
1051
01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:17.280
going to keep this afloat while Jack is gone, or
1052
01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:23.119
possibly move the needle when Jack is gone, uh, this
1053
01:00:23.159 --> 01:00:25.760
is the opportunity to do so and make a name
1054
01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:29.320
for yourself on the team and make it difficult for
1055
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:33.159
Sheldon Keef to put you off the roster once all
1056
01:00:33.199 --> 01:00:35.719
these guys come back. So a lot of these guys
1057
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:38.360
have that incentive. They're playing for their jobs, they're playing
1058
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:42.239
for their careers. Yeah, here's an opportunity that you know, well,
1059
01:00:42.280 --> 01:00:44.199
I guess what the Devils. That happens all the time.
1060
01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:48.519
You know, Guy's going down. But you know, I'm just
1061
01:00:48.719 --> 01:00:55.760
very anyway, I'll just shut up now and make my
1062
01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:56.519
final thought.
1063
01:00:56.559 --> 01:00:59.280
Well, actually, yes, it happens all the time with the Devil,
1064
01:01:01.239 --> 01:01:02.239
especially with Jack.
1065
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:07.320
But yeah, so that's it.
1066
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:11.360
That's all I have to say, and that's all I
1067
01:01:11.360 --> 01:01:12.320
gotta say about that.
1068
01:01:15.719 --> 01:01:19.199
Well, we're looking forward to a big week of games
1069
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:21.039
over here as the road trip continues.
1070
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:23.920
Uh, Devil's heading down for a one.
1071
01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:27.199
To two punch there with Tampa Bay in Florida, then
1072
01:01:27.239 --> 01:01:28.199
back home to Philly.
1073
01:01:28.199 --> 01:01:30.679
We're gonna be covering it all Game Day Live.
1074
01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:34.039
