looked like she was having a seizure though. I I get on the horn, I call nine one one, the boys roll up. It was a whole thing. Yeah. Just that was at eight that Jeannot Has The Belt: She okay? 1st: was at eight o'clock in the morning. Yeah, she crazy. She her bro blood pressure was so low because she overdosed on magnesium to start Jim Calder Hagen: Whoa. Jeannot Has The Belt: Holy cow. 1st: So for those magnesium drinkers out there or supplement takers, take it easy. I was sitting across the table from one when it happened. Yeah, crazy. And she refused to like go to the hospital. Jeannot Has The Belt: Look I'm looking at one right now. That's a crazy story. That will that will get that'll get you right a Jim Calder Hagen: That's crazy. Jeannot Has The Belt: that will get you activated for the day. Jim Calder Hagen: She didn't want to get the fifteen thousand dollar ambulance charge. 1st: God. She was like, nah, going. And the paramedic was like, Your blood pressure is dangerously low. Like, you should go. And that was the term she used. And I was like, and you're still refusing care. And the magnesium Jeannot Has The Belt: Well I 1st: was on the table. I shit you not. It was a big tub of magnesium Jeannot Has The Belt: What was she doing? 1st: in a like a like a big Ziploc bag. I was like, I don't know. It was it was wild. Yeah, I Jeannot Has The Belt: She like a dealer? I know. Jim Calder Hagen: Sure it was magnesium? 1st: swear to God, heard the whole conversation. It was nuts. But yeah, that's how we started our day. Jim Calder Hagen: Wasn't fent. Jeannot Has The Belt: Well, I have I have also have a crazy story. I c I came down the stairs yesterday. Dave, you haven't been to my apartment, correct? Okay. 1st: no, I've been by, I haven't been in it. Jeannot Has The Belt: So there's a little small little hallway. It's a front door. If you're looking at Ann Joey's door, I guess I'm outing I'm I'm outing exactly where we live, but anyways. Yeah. 1st: Well Jim Calder Hagen: Doxed for the thousands of listeners at home. Jeannot Has The Belt: but anyways, there's like a small little hallway, but there's a front door that we typically lock at night. And one of the neighbors walked outside and unlocked it to leave, obviously. And all of a sudden, just someone from Mouse Ave decided to stroll down and take a little nappy poo right right in the hallway. 1st: Hey, shout out them. Comfortable. Warm. Jeannot Has The Belt: And I I knocked on the door and I said, You you you have to leave. And he said to me, I'm here for the bus. And I said, This is not where the bus comes, and he just left. And 1st: That was the interaction. Jeannot Has The Belt: that was the interaction. He was trying to open up the door to come upstairs. And I said, You can't come in here. And he goes, I'm here for the bus. And I said, The bus is not here. And he walked out. And Jim Calder Hagen: He wasn't there for the bus, Brian. 1st: No. Jeannot Has The Belt: I I but I I it Jim Calder

Hagen: He was not. Jeannot Has The Belt: was just it was a cr it was it was like six forty-five in the morning. I saw feet right when I walked out. I was like, What's going on? 1st: The the math isn't mathing here. Incredible. I I mean, you have to give your neighbor a bunch of shit for that. Rightfully so. Jeannot Has The Belt: No, but it's not his fault because he's just walking out to the sidewalk and it's early in the mornings. Yeah, well he didn't sneak 1st: Someone just s snuck in. Jeannot Has The Belt: in like that. There's there's three layers to the security to get to my physical apartment. The front door leads to another door that's fully locked. And that's it. 1st: Imagine if Buddy spent the night in there. Jeannot Has The Belt: I know. We got the ring camera and it's it's a dark, dark video. 1st: Imagine you watch the video who just lays a heater right in there and you're like Jeannot Has The Belt: there i if you look at it closely, it looks like he almost started to drop one. Yeah. Yeah. That and that's 1st: Human, you get on Hey! Hey! I see you Hey Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: some tight that's some tight headquarters. I don't know if that smell would come out immediately. Yeah. So 1st: God. Jeannot Has The Belt: another another another Jim Calder Hagen: I won it. Jeannot Has The Belt: great way to kick off the day. Monday morning. 1st: Wow, have a week. Same seats. Mike, how about you? Sh shine some light on. Jim Calder Hagen: yeah, I got a new Bruins Money Clip that I ordered on eBay. Yeah, Jeannot Has The Belt: hell yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: it's pretty sick. 1st: Waaaa. Jim Calder Hagen: It's like it's old, some like two thousand one. 1st: How much that run, yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: more than what's in here right now. There's Jeannot Has The Belt: Ha ha. Jim Calder Hagen: four dollars and ones in there, but it was like twelve bucks. 1st: Deal that they're pa they're paying you to buy that. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, I just I needed one, so so I got it. I'm an adult now. And there's no one any nothing anyone 1st: True. You smoke cigarettes in in your Lexus. Jim Calder Hagen: can do to stop me. Cigars. 1st: and you well you can light them in your Lexus. Jim Calder Hagen: That's right. With the with the car. 1st: Factual statements. I d so going back to Vegas, not to derail us even further, talk about ladies dying at breakfast and shit, wild stuff. went to a golden knights game, gentlemen. they got there, they got waxed by the lightning. The lightning are for real. Carter Hart couldn't stop a beach ball. This is a Bruins podcast. Jim Calder Hagen: Terrible. 1st: we'll get there at some point. Bees have been on a heater, but I can tell it it was emo night, so take it with a grain of salt. Completely hysterical. They're giving away emo tees. We got there a little late. We missed the opening ceremony, the opening show or whatever. The production layer is insane. It is like going to an EDM and a rock concert while watching a

hockey game. You can feel the speakers through your chest with the bass. It was incredible. And we sat in the season ticket section, up in the 200 level. Seats are relatively reasonable. Like 64 bucks, like third row in the upper bowl. Not a bad seat in the house. Like it was it's a great, great place to watch the game. And they also have a smoking balcony in the upper deck to go outside, which was laughable. Like it was amazing. Amazing. Jim Calder Hagen: It it leads you to outside. 1st: There's a balcony outside, a door that goes outside. Yep. Jim Calder Hagen: No, that's insane. 1st: Yeah, never seen that before at a professional sports arena. Jeannot Has The Belt: Wow. Can you get access to that area despite not being in the balcony? 1st: yeah, anyone can just walk up the stairs or take the elevator. You know how the garden's pretty not confusing, but it's just a mess to get like to the balcony. This was just a stri Jeannot Has The Belt: No, no the br no, going to a Bruins game is pretty confusing sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. 1st: Yeah, it you gotta zigzag and all this crap. this you walk in the door. It's kinda like a Ganis where you split and you can go up either side. And then there's another escalator to bring you up to the balcony. it was great, man. Like great place to watch a game, like right on the strip, like super cool spot. Like getting in and out with Ubers wasn't a wasn't bad at all. lot I could see why guys would want to go there. Like super and the fans are very, very passionate and like which was shocking. Not really too shocking 'cause they've been good, but like they were very knowledgeable, which was interesting. Jeannot Has The Belt: Mm. Jim Calder Hagen: Interesting. Dave, would it be if the Bruins played out there on like a Thursday night, would it be fun to like go out to a be a bees game, stay Thursday night, stay Friday night, and then dip? Would that be a weekend that you'd be interested in? 1st: I would, but like I think it all depends like what type of Vegas experience you want. Right? Like that tonight. And if you want a Jim Calder Hagen: Bachelor Party? 1st: I would say for a bachelor party, it could be a good time. it's gonna be expensive Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. 1st: outside of the game, especially if you're staying Jim Calder Hagen: Mm. 1st: like kind of right on the strip there. But I would say it if you were I can't there weren't a lot of lightning fans there. Like it was very much so like Vegas fans, like dominated when you go to some of these warmer climate places you see a lot of transplant fans or whatever. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. 1st: maybe could have expected to see some lightning fans make the trip. Granted it was like I think it was a Tuesday night, but it would be a fun trip. it's just a a long travel from from Boston to to Vegas. It's a shift, but it it is I was I it Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Quicker to get out to Ireland, honestly. What what is it five five and a half hours? 1st: was almost six hours I've

been telling everyone I can get to London or Ireland in half not half the time, but shave an hour off, you know? Jeannot Has The Belt: Mm. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Hmm. 1st: W it was cool though. Good experience. And I think again, I could see why guys would want to go there. the weather was perfect. And that's why certain guys have them on trade lists and certain guys don't, So it's pretty it's pretty interesting to see how that all plays out. Jim Calder Hagen: You think they Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: get Larkin? Jeannot Has The Belt: Most likely. 1st: Brian. Jeannot Has The Belt: Most likely. I'm Ob Dam. I I retired from the mock traits. I NH NHL rumor report has completely ruined it. Mikey, I saw you reply to him today. it is it's every single day. It's Nick Caprios said this or Pagnotta said this. And it's like, how often are these guys talking? It's like everything is like but if the Bruins and I'm like, the Bruins are not on the list. So 1st: These guys are like weathermen. Jeannot Has The Belt: I know. Jim Calder Hagen: Also, they talk about Sokka. They say the same thing every two days. Well, they ri Jeannot Has The Belt: Every s every single day. Jim Calder Hagen: they really like it depends on where they're where where they are. Come trade deadline. they're not matching numbers. I could see them s dealing them at the deadline. It's like, come on. Yeah, I've I've I've read this, I've read this 40 times. Jeannot Has The Belt: But things are going well right now. I know. It's it's incessant. 1st: Yan's Yan said it best and we've that's a great word. Yan said it on Jeannot Has The Belt: Thank you. 1st: chiclets and we've been saying it. The bees are always in on someone. And it's always the s and it's always the same, Jeannot Has The Belt: Yep. Yeah, I heard him say that joke, yeah. I know. I know. Jim Calder Hagen: Always 1st: like, they're kicking tires. But I have to say, and I think they even cover this on chiclets, like the bees do have like the capital to spare now Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. 1st: to be in on dudes, you know? So like see how it plays out. But I they're humming, they look great. Jeannot Has The Belt: I saw I read I act I was listening to Chick-lits this morning, pretty crazy that the the hella buck trade to New Jersey. the money that he lost out on from sitting out until now actually matched up almost perfectly with the amount of cap space that the Devils had. So the money that he lost actually worked out well so the Devils could actually sign or take on his his contract. I think he lost like a half a million. Something like that around there. And and now the devil's literally have like a hundred thousand dollars of cap space right now. 1st: Insider trading. Jim Calder Hagen: Could be. Jack Hughes. Jeannot Has The Belt: One could think. One could think. And and then they started the conversation around if Quinn Hughes is gonna make his way there and that would be detrimental to the East. So I'm really hoping that's 1st: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: not the case. 1st: I I it's it just seems like it's it's inevitable. At this point. Obviously, Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. 1st: they're gonna have to move some money around. they'd probably get off a Dougie Hamilton and a couple other guys. in hindsight, right? I'd saw an Instagram post comparing kind of the huge trade ahead of his return to Vancouver. Buyan, Rossi, and I forget who else, when it was like one or one or two other dudes, like they're not really doing much. So, like, if the wild lose Quinn to free agency, like at this moment in time, my opinion, like it's kind of like a moot point. Right? Where it's like you gave up a few dudes, but like n maybe they were just good like for the wild in that system. Like some d guys are just system players. I mean believe Zev Boevian can turn it around and be a complete stud. Like but I'm just Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. 1st: saying at this point in time it doesn't look that bad if he walks. Jeannot Has The Belt: It's a good risk though. I'd rather my GM be doing shit like that Jim Calder Hagen: Mm. Jeannot Has The Belt: than sitting on their hands. You know what I mean? i if 1st: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: if he doesn't re sign in Minnesota, it's a good gamble. it it's like I don't know, if you can s if you can he's a generational defenseman. and they it it changes an entire team when that guy's on the roster and it it also entices players to go there even more so. So if he doesn't re sign, yeah, that's that w that that that hits hard. But also like you get I don't know, a year and a half out of him and I don't know, maybe they make a run with him right now, knowing that he'll go to free agency and just see what they can get out of him. But I I think they were talking about it on Chicklets today too, with who's who's the insider on there? 1st: Elliot. Jim Calder Hagen: Elliot. Jeannot Has The Belt: Elliot. He was saying like they were talking about how Quinn Hughes has the like competence to let Billy G know that he's not gonna re sign if that's the case, so they can actually get something back for him. So I don't know. We'll I'll see how it we'll see how it plays out. But I I I think the wild are dangerous. I don't really know why he would be ready to leave unless he just doesn't like living. 1st: Or he just desperately wants to put it. Jim Calder Hagen: Or just wants to play with his boys. Jeannot Has The Belt: Good point. 1st: I wouldn't put it past him. it so what Brady did, right? A little bit of a different story, but who knows? Like Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. 1st: and I think I think we have we have a little voicemail here that we're gonna get to in a second. But like Larkin's on, if Larkin goes there, maybe that changes his mind or who knows, right? how that plays out. 'Cause there's a I know it seems like there's a lot of different possibilities that can happen. Jeannot Has The Belt: I agree. I agree. And I'll I'll lead us in here for the

for the voicemail and then we can debrief after. Jim Calder Hagen: Let's go. So inside on that. Jeannot Has The Belt: Nick from Dominic. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, Nick mainly had no one you've added on. I I'd like to I'd like 1st: Love it. Nick, thanks for the call, brother. We appreciate it. Jim Calder Hagen: to it Thank you, Nick from Dominic Hall. I also have a an odd inkling to thank him for his service, but maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong about that. Okay, I'm Jeannot Has The Belt: I think I think you're mixing yeah. I think you're mixing them up with somebody else, yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: All right, I'm thinking about the wrong nick from Dominic Hall, but 1st: This Nick is protecting the North Shore from fires, if I think I'd I know who it is. Jeannot Has The Belt: I think I think you have the wrong guy. Jim Calder Hagen: We both have the wrong guy. 1st: Wow, all right, we are 0 for two. Sorry, Nick. Jeannot Has The Belt: No, but I I think I Jim Calder Hagen: Dave, Dave, I was talking about the same guy. 1st: Yeah, it it has to be. Jeannot Has The Belt: We we don't we don't just we don't disclose. 1st: Never mind. We we No, we gotta figure out a Jim Calder Hagen: We don't know. We we don't know, yeah. 1st: way to hide phone numbers though. But when we share this. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, true. That that that was we don't want to dox anyone. But I do have a thought Jeannot Has The Belt: Yes, yes. Or enough. Jim Calder Hagen: on on Nick from Dominic Hall's voicemail though. I did see the expanded ten ten team trade list and personally I'm kinda glad that the Bruins are not on it. Like I I would to be fully removed from the Dylan Larkin conversation altogether. I think what he's gonna command is not worth what I'm willing to give up if I'm Don Sweeney. And personally, I don't think he's necessarily worth it either. I know he's obviously a a top six player on any any team, but I don't think showing out the future when we finally have a future that's like worth holding on for on to is worth it for him. 1st: I I agree. again, thanks, Nick, from Dominic Hall. We appreciate the call. gotta figure out who the hell it says. Anyways, th this could be a hot take. It reeks of desperation of how he expanded his team and his list of teams, excuse me, and who he picked. He he own like he's only picking like the odd like the odds on favorites to win the cup. I I don't know, there's just something about it where I respect Dylan Larkin. He's a hell of a hockey player. But I don't he doesn't command as much as like a Matthew or Brady Katruck when like they want to trade, for example. Like I don't know, there's just something about it that reeks of a little bit of desperation. And to Mike's point, I'm not super upset that he's That the Bruins aren't on that list. I could see him going to a Utah, to be honest. I think that could be a really solid landing spot. Like Billy Armstrong has done a great job of like acquiring good draft capital. They have a ton of prospects. A

move like that could make sense for them. And they've done business in the past with that little COSA trade at the draft. the goaltender there. So That seems like a a pretty strong possibility. Troach is there, they have the Olympic success together. it seems like that could be the best fit. But yeah, to Mike's point, I'm not I'm not bummed not see the Bruins on that list. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, I I wa I in the f first initial shock I was pretty bummed. Cause it didn't really to Nick's point, I it didn't really make a ton of sense why the Bruins wouldn't be in there. They're an American team, the original six, and they have dudes in the team that like could make some sort of playoff. But she hasn't been a play but hasn't been in the playoffs since we've been in college. Just as a reminder. So like if he's looking for like the bare minimum of just getting over the line, the Bruins have that in the bag. But To Mikey's point about shelling out young prospects, I keep reading that Horkoff is looking for a complete bag on him. And he's not he's better, but he's not that much better than Pavel Zaka. We're getting a a pretty equivalent 1st: Agreed. Jeannot Has The Belt: player for a really, really high price point. Yes, he's under contract at like eight and a half for the next like four and a half years. Like great, awesome, whatever. But like If Pavel Zaka gets nine and a half from the Bruins, I'm not really that bent out of shape about an additional one million dollars to Pavel Zaka because it's a guy that just does his job night in and night out and doesn't complain and isn't asking for trades and creating no trade clauses and all this other shit. So an initial shock definitely bummed out about it. But I think there's another conversation about the guy Edmundson and we'll see what ends up happening there. And on that same point, why was he at the BU game? Jim Calder Hagen: It wasn't even like the BU game. It was the girls practice or something. Maybe he was just Jeannot Has The Belt: It it's Jim Calder Hagen: doing work before. Like he probably has like a skating coach or something. I don't know. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, I'm so my only I think he's still at B U is So there's Jim Calder Hagen: Do we have any in insiders or something? Jeannot Has The Belt: so I know that B U has a coach his name's Kim Brangvolt and I used to skate with him, not a brag. and he used and he's a skating he's like a skating coach and he was with the Bruins actually for I think a little bit. And I might have it I might have it flip flopped. I can't I'll have to look it up, but Jim Calder Hagen: Just roll. Jeannot Has The Belt: But I think that could be a play where maybe he was 'cause I think he's from like Norway. So he has that no, he's at BU. So maybe he has that connection. Jim Calder Hagen: Mm. Jeannot Has The Belt: my only guess. 1st: Hot take. Do we need another left-handed offensive defenseman? Laurae looks good. Freddie B looks good. Jeannot Has The Belt: I

he's not even offensive though. He had twenty five points. 1st: Yeah, but but Jim Calder Hagen: Freddy B does look good. 1st: he's like that similar player to like a Laurae. Freddie B might be a little bit of like a like a hybrid there. Jeannot Has The Belt: Mm. I don't disagree. 1st: You know? Like Jeannot Has The Belt: I heard there I heard the sticking point for the Red Wings is that what he's asking for would be more than Mo Cider, and they're not willing to give more money to him because then it shows that he's a better defenseman than Cider and they don't think that's the case. That's what I heard the sticking point is. 1st: that's just not but yeah, but that's just not the case anymore. Just look at what other guys are commanding and getting in in the open market. The cap's going up and hey, Jeannot Has The Belt: I know. I know. 1st: you know what? Jack Hughes got locked in an eight by eight. Everyone thought it was crazy, now it's the best deal. that's just the way the cookie crumbles, boys and girls. Jeannot Has The Belt: I know. I know. And I and and speaking of speaking of speaking of gambles, I saw some guy tweet out today that the Will Borgan trade was a gamble. Gamble on what? Gamble on what? 1st: Yeah, on what? Gave away the corporation. Jeannot Has The Belt: Like w people are just throwing out our like these ridiculous terms to like for trade he was a nothing burger. We just like, yeah, if it sticks and sticks, it doesn't, it doesn't, but like we'll move on. Jim Calder Hagen: Well, they did give up what, a second and a third for him? What did they give up for him? 1st: thought it just a third and it was a Jeannot Has The Belt: I think they gave a third. 1st: third and the corporation, I think. Jeannot Has The Belt: And they unloaded his s the corporation's salary too. I think he's out right now because I saw Reimer played last night and he had a he had a tough go. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. 1st: Yeah. He he is out. Just on the IR. Jim Calder Hagen: Regardless of if it was a gamble or not, I I've been very impressed with the Borgonzola cheese, man. He's Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, me too. A lot more physical than I thought, too. Jim Calder Hagen: I I really like his play. He's just so like I he's exactly what I wanted Andrew Peak to be. You know? I wanted to Jeannot Has The Belt: What? Jim Calder Hagen: give Andrew Peak all the credit for, you know, doing the stuff that doesn't show up on the scoreboard. And Borgon's that guy. Jeannot Has The Belt: He got this. Yeah, I I d I can't either. I 1st: I still can't get behind the Andrew Peake slander. I can't. Jeannot Has The Belt: can't. I can't. Jim Calder Hagen: I that wasn't salacious for Andrew Peak. That was just I thank you. I just think Borgan is a better 1st: Good word. We're kinda using some good vocabulary tonight. Sorry. Jim Calder Hagen: player. Jeannot Has The Belt: No, no, I I don't I didn't take yours as salacious whatsoever. I'm saying that Jim Calder Hagen: Mm. Jeannot Has

The Belt: the the slander on Peak last year, the amount of people that were commenting on our TikTok and Instagram being like, Thank the Lord he's gone. he was this parasite was insane. I like he he a j yeah, he made some bonehead plays, but like who doesn't? But to Mikey's point, Borgan Borgan's been pretty rock solid and sneaky has two goals. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. I against 1st: Both empty netters. He's the empty net merchant. Jeannot Has The Belt: Ha ha Jim Calder Hagen: weren't they bold against the Sharks too? When is the last time 1st: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, I think he's like Jim Calder Hagen: we recorded? Did we record right before the Kings game? Or right after the Sharks? 1st: man. Yeah, we recorded during the West Coast trip. It's been a week and a half here since we jumped on. I mean, they have been on a just a all time heater. We did say lock in for a loss in Dallas, which hey, they grabbed a point out of that. Cannot complain there. Jim Calder Hagen: Mm-hmm. Insane. Jeannot Has The Belt: They looked they looked good in that game too. Jim Calder Hagen: Insane. Dude, so they interviewed Patra before and I watched more of like the off eyes stuff than I did like really any of the games. And they're like, heard you went to Terry Black's yesterday. How was he? He was like, my god, it was so good. We got so much food. We're going back again today. And I was like, they're double dipping Terry Blacks. Like, there's there's just gonna be cement in his stomach. And whoever they w there was six guys anyway. 1st: If the stars didn't have Miko Ranton, the bees would have won two nothing. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, and they Jim Calder Hagen: Crazy. Jeannot Has The Belt: got that that game tying goal off McAvoy's shin pad right to rantin and for an empty netter with like five minutes to go like that was just kind of like I I could see the writing on the wall that they were gonna screw. Yes, it is. It is. And then and then they started and Jim Calder Hagen: That that's the Terry Black bounce right there is what that is. Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: then they started overtime and the Bruins were on the salt and they could not make a play and you just knew. You were just like, you know what? A point to point, like a grabbing a point there. And that was the sentiment from the locker room that I heard too, that they were all like laughing about it. They were like, Yeah, seven of eight points on the first Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: West Coast road trip. yeah, come, yeah. 1st: Playing on the house's money. We have to re rewind even further, though. We didn't even talk about the Zodorov scratch and situation there. he did have a quote was like, I would literally kill and kill someone like to protect the guys on this team, right? And Jeannot Has The Belt: I love it. 1st: love the quote. I love the message from Sturm though. Like Zidorov, like he the bees need him in the lineup. He just does take ridiculous penalties. you have

to reel it in just a little bit. Jeannot Has The Belt: We signed we signed on for that. I I I I wholeheartedly disagree. I think I think that 1st: Really? Jeannot Has The Belt: I think that that penalty that he got on Vitrano, I don't even hate it. Really don't hate it at all. He gave him a good shot. Vitrano approached him again. He's defending himself. He gave him a quick shot to the to the mug and yeah, it didn't pan out, whatever. He gets an extra penalty there. But like that you sign Sodorov to that type of deal and you and you stick him on he's he's in the leadership group, member. 1st: Everyone is. Jeannot Has The Belt: and you give all these responsibilities and people are fucking like, yeah, hit hit fight whatever. And then we're like, but wait, don't do it too much. That's where I draw the line. I I think you have to completely let him off the leash and whatever happens, happens. And I think I think it was a good shot to him to be like, Hey, we need you on the ice, not in the penalty box as much, but continue to play your game. Like just like there has to be like it's it's kind of like putting like a like a buzz caller on a dog, just like in case they try and like leave the yard. It's just a quick little hey, get back here. you can still run around here, but I I I can't Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: I can't I I don't think you can reel them. Jim Calder Hagen: I think it was a good time to do it. And I don't know how many other opportunities you're gonna get to do it for him either. Like it and I I do agree, Cameron, like this is it it's it's last year's piss and vinegar. Like we want Jeannot Has The Belt: Mm-hmm. Jim Calder Hagen: him going around just like hair on fire, killing everything in sight. and then after he gets scratched, he comes back the next game. Janot takes A bad roughing penalty right in front of Zadorov. Zadorov's holding the guy. Janot comes in and punches him in the face. No discipline for Janelle. Janelle's got the letter on the sweater. I think Zadorov is just one of those guys where you have to pick a spot to send a message to him. And then that's it for the rest of the year. Jeannot Has The Belt: Mm-hmm. Jim Calder Hagen: it message sent if it's either received or it's not and then he's gonna do whatever he's gonna do the rest of the year and and and I think it's for the whole team, so we'll see. 1st: Thing the thing is I don't mind the roughing penalties, like him being scrappy and d doing the little nonsense with Fertrano there. It's the stick penalties. It's the slashing, like he I think it was the sharks like last game, him and Elias just like thought they had lightsabers in their hands. Like like w we can cut the stick penalties back, boys. Like that's like we still need the grittiness, but Do we need that slash on the hands if someone's just wheeling the zone and coming around the top? Or they pull up, do do we need to stick stick him in the hands? Jeannot Has The Belt: I I don't disagree with that. I think that's a good take. I think if it's b I think if it's body or physical, I think that that's that's in the green. 1st: That's fine, that's his game. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. I agree with that. 1st: That's his game, but when we're taking stick penalties, it's it's either just laziness or we're getting tired. We don't have enough foot speed to get up on t and close on guys on time. You know, it's a combination. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. I agree. Jim Calder Hagen: That's fair. 1st: That's what I feel like most of them are, but I'll get off my soapbox. Jeannot Has The Belt: What w one other thing, just 'cause you had mentioned I think we're all on the same page with this. Elias has played really well. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. 1st: Yes. Jeannot Has The Belt: He's played really well. Jim Calder Hagen: It's gotta be the the decreased role, right? Jeannot Has The Belt: I I d I don't disagree. 1st: You can't you can't have the load on him. Not anymore. Jim Calder Hagen: No, he's not a one C, he's not a two C. 1st: He's playing where he needs to be playing in a lineup. Jeannot Has The Belt: Mm-hmm. 1st: Franzi is taking a step big time. And Jeannot Has The Belt: Huge. 1st: you have Jimmy Hagins being a dog. Casey Middlesead looks like a different player. Like he's all over it. Jeannot Has The Belt: Casey Middlesad, I've I've been on his team since last year. I didn't want to trade him. He looks even better than he did last year. He's a 50 point guy potentially, and they just need to keep that third line locked in. Higgins leads the league in block shots right now. That is a crazy statistic. 1st: Did you have that on the bingo card? Jeannot Has The Belt: certainly not. And I still forget he's 19 years old, right? He hasn't even turned 20 yet. Jim Calder Hagen: Crazy. 1st: Incredible. Jeannot Has The Belt: Crazy, crazy, crazy. But I Middlesad, I I think he's living up to his contract right now, which is crazy to say. And I I've been I've been 1st: He's in a contract year too. Jeannot Has The Belt: thoroughly Jim Calder Hagen: Mm. Jeannot Has The Belt: impressed with him. And I I think he I think that second power play unit should get a little bit more of a look than the first unit. They they actually get stuff done. They're not afraid to chip it in and go get it, but also the decor on that. That penalty, that power play, I think it's Lowrai, and I think he might be the only defenseman. He just throws it 1st: Freddie B's on Jeannot Has The Belt: on net. Just throws it on net. Who cares? Might as well get some shots out of it. And the cross seam pass seemingly isn't there anymore. I do like the bumper with Zakker on the first unit, but it sometimes it's a little bit too predictable. And they also know that that pass is going to go to either Pasnock or Geeky for the one timer. So they're reading that piece. So you bring in that second unit, you don't really know what can happen because Hagan's quick on his offside. And he can make some

plays and I'd I'd like to see him shoot the buck a little bit more in those situations, but I think that will come with more ice time. 1st: There's one thing with Jimmy though, he's been getting like his goals are gritty goals. Right? he's getting to the paint. Jim Calder Hagen: Mm-hmm. His heat map is all on the crease. 1st: It's incredible. Jeannot Has The Belt: Easy. 1st: And I gotta be honest, I didn't I didn't see that coming out of this kid. and the fact he's doing Jim Calder Hagen: No? 1st: it inside, waiting till he starts getting more comfortable, getting a good feel for time and space and being able to get a shot off, because he can shoot the pill too. Like, for not being a big dude, like he can rip it. And they had Paturka on that second power play. They're just a a bunch of wild cards to your point, Brian. what's gonna happen? They're gonna get pucks on net, they're gonna go hound pucks, they're gonna get back, go low to high, put the biscuit on the net again and just keep doing it. Like it they're fun to watch. Jeannot Has The Belt: I know. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, and I I don't even know I don't know if it's fatigue from watching the first power play unit, but I feel like we're just watching the same thing over and over and over again and Geeky misses the net by four panels and then the second line comes out and you're just like, All right, here we go, it's like you said, it's exciting to watch. So back to Middlestat, Cameron, real quick. I was kind of clowning Casey Middlestat over the summer when the Bruins admin tweeted like Who's gonna be the X Factor this year? And it was like a picture of Casey Metal Stadt. I don't know what the tweet was, I'm paraphrasing, but it set me off. And Casey's kinda making me eat my words a little bit. I'm still gonna clown him a little bit this year. He'll Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, sure. That's fair. Jim Calder Hagen: he'll be like my Arvidsen, kinda. But I have liked what I've seen from him. Third, third Jeannot Has The Belt: That's good. Jim Calder Hagen: line winger is good. It's a good spot for him. So I actually I heard Jeannot Has The Belt: I I said it last year. He does not lose many one on one battles. He below the dots in the offensive zone, he's nails. Absolutely nails. And then on the wall in the D zone, he's extremely responsible. Does not just hit the panic button and chip it out and try and like that gets blocked down by a defenseman. He will corral the puck, protect it. If he has to take it back, he takes one step back first before just firing it behind the net to the other defenseman. He He is very, very, very, very good on one on ones. 1st: He's great at using his body. to Jeannot Has The Belt: Extremely 1st: your point. Throws his ass out there and he's not a big dude. He's a string bean. But he No Yeah, couldn't even do one. Who needs pull ups? Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. And I don't think I don't think you did pull up at the combine. I think that's the famous picture, right? Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, that was that was him. Yeah. People seriously, people forget he was on that USA team though with Brady Kachuk, with who Swayman was on that team. Who else? There was a couple of big names. they played in the outdoor classic. 1st: that's the Jeannot Has The Belt: Mm. 1st: the hue Quint I think Quinn might have been on that team. that was Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, the Hughes brothers were on that one. 1st: a good year of like for USA hockey that what is he in ninety seven? Jeannot Has The Belt: he was a top ten pick. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. For a Buffalo, right? For a Buffalo, Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: I think. Yeah. And Razor was actually talking about him in the booth, which by the way, I I really like Razor in the booth. Don't want to see Andy Brickley go anytime soon, but I think Razor would be a good guy to plug in, should Brick go at some point. Can't stay forever. But Razor was saying he was talking to KC Middlestad about last year and He was like, Yeah, I'm a bit more comfortable now, but I still kinda don't really have my bearings yet and everything. And then he said when he was talking to Casey coming into this year, he said, I finally feel like this is my home. I feel very comfortable now. And he was like, You can see it. it just it's it takes him. He's the type of guy that needs a little bit of extra time to adjust to a new place. And he's play you can see the difference in his play. Jeannot Has The Belt: That's an interesting take. Something that I Jim Calder Hagen: Mm. Jeannot Has The Belt: think people are or teams are pretty quick to jump off of prospects 'cause they're not meshing, but you gotta give them some time to to grow grow Jim Calder Hagen: Mm-hmm. Jeannot Has The Belt: in their environment. So that that is interesting. 1st: So that world junior team was completely loaded. Completely loaded. Jeannot Has The Belt: Was Warensky that team? 1st: no, but guess who led the team in scoring with eleven points in seven games? Jeannot Has The Belt: Can't even begin to think. Middle start? 1st: You didn't have to guess too hard. Casey Middlestaad. Jeannot Has The Belt: Fuck yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: No way. 1st: Yep. Yep. Brady was on that team. Freddie, Adam Fox, a local boy. Patrick Harper. Jim Calder Hagen: Is that f is that Freddie Trent Frederick? 1st: Yeah, Trent Frederick. Kyler Jeannot Has The Belt: Friend Frederick? Holy cow. 1st: Yamamoto, Quinn Hughes, Andrew Peake was on the team. Mikey Anderson, Ryan Lingwin, Lingwin, Lingren, Sway Ottinger, Joseph Wall. Pretty loaded team. Jeannot Has The Belt: That is a loaded team. Jim Calder Hagen: That is a that is. How about Trent Frederick, former Bruin fan favorite, just having three points in the past 40 games? 1st: Feel bad for that guy. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yes. But did did you see that scrap that he got? Holy cow. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, that was that was big time. Jeannot Has The Belt: That was those were blows. And 1st: They were

chucking. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: they were saying I I forget I think it I think it was Chicklets that were just talking about it. It's like signs a a a lengthy contract and I think he wanted to come in and produce points and it obviously wasn't amounting to anything and I think he just needs to find his role and it's just like Yeah, it sucks to fight, I don't know, thirty thirty times a year, but that might just be his role and you pay for that you pay for that privilege to have a guy on the ice that will protect people and throw those absolute cinder blocks at people's heads. Jim Calder Hagen: Two. Jeannot Has The Belt: Though that was I could feel that through the phone. Jim Calder Hagen: This is crazy. good good on the bees for 1st: That was like ca Castlick on on Castrolink. Jeannot Has The Belt: Holy shit. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, true. 1st: Shout out Kessling for ha Jeannot Has The Belt: J Janon 1st: for handling his business, but Jeannot Has The Belt: My my name is Juneau has the belt. I I truly think he's the number one. Actually, you know what, Olivier I think still holds the belt, but Juneau is is a very close second. 1st: That's a scary man. No. Jim Calder Hagen: That fight just wasn't even fair. It just Jeannot Has The Belt: That Jim Calder Hagen: wasn't like Jeannot Has The Belt: was uppercut after uppercut. It was it was starting to get a little ugly where I was like, I know. Jim Calder Hagen: I I felt bad for the guy he was fighting. Who was it? Ox Oxtaly or whatever his name was. Yeah. 1st: You're kinda like stop the match, stop the match. Jeannot Has The Belt: I don't know if he I don't even know if he's ever fought before. That was Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, it was it it didn't look like a fair fight. Jeannot Has The Belt: No no. Jim Calder Hagen: Dude, going back to Castlek's fight though, that was such a funny sequence. He buried Kesselring. Buried him. Jeannot Has The Belt: That was that was completely from behind. Jim Calder Hagen: And then Kesselring 1st: Rush them. Jim Calder Hagen: just gets up and just got his lunch fed to him. Like Jeannot Has The Belt: Credit to him. Jim Calder Hagen: a t 1st: Big shout out to him. Where were his teammates? Jim Calder Hagen: Cr I yeah, credit credit to him, but Jeannot Has The Belt: Well, I think it was just it was it was a bang bang play. He I think he was like, my god, my head and then the wires crossed and he's like, We're going. And I don't even know if he knew who hit him. And I I I I'd be curious after it wears off, after the season, if if he would admit to not knowing who hit him and being like, shit, it's 1st: Thinking twice. Jeannot Has The Belt: Castlek 'cause there's there's there's obviously a ton of fighters in the league, but there's there's a there's probably ten or so that you're you're you're trying to stay away from. just in general, if you're not a huge fighter, I would guess that Catholic would be in that that category. 1st: the bees have Jim Calder Hagen: Gotta be. 1st: two Mac two, maybe three Macs of those guys. Jeannot Has The Belt: They have Zodorov, Janot, Kastlik. 1st: three heavies. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, those are those are heavy, heavy. Jim Calder Hagen: Heavies. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. I I yeah. 1st: you could probably name the other dudes on your hand. in the league, there's that Jadovich guy, he's Delorier, Olivier, Jeannot Has The Belt: Rampe. 1st: Rempe, Ope, Lupe. Jeannot Has The Belt: We also we we kinda buried the lead on this. A couple clicks for our boy Marat Houdini. Contract extension. 1st: yes. What a deal guys. Jim Calder Hagen: Huge. Good for him. Jeannot Has The Belt: Three was was it three and a half? Jim Calder Hagen: I think it's 3.9. It's a weird number. 1st: What dirt did they have on him to only get him for Jeannot Has The Belt: Three point Yeah, three point nine 1st: three and change? Jeannot Has The Belt: five for three years. I I was very interested because on the same topic of Middle Stat and growing in your environment, I had looked up how many games he played in Boston versus Minnesota and his points versus his ice time. So he put he's been in Boston for three years. He has twenty one goals, twenty three assists, forty four points in a hundred and seven games. And that's at a he's at around around fourteen and a half minutes on the ice. In Minnesota, he played seventy-three games. He had eleven points and he skated around almost twelve minutes a night for Minnesota. So it's it's truly opportunity, putting him with the right people. And Jim Calder Hagen: Mm-hmm. Jeannot Has The Belt: if you remember, that came from the Justin Brazot trade. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. was Jeannot Has The Belt: Just Donnie Donnie deals. 1st: Money deals. Jim Calder Hagen: Was Lauco in that same trade? He was. Okay. Jeannot Has The Belt: yeah. Yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, what a deal that was. I Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: saw something too. Marat has been taking English lessons. So he his like he couldn't speak a lick of English. So he started taking English lessons because he wanted to like hang out with his teammates more and just be a beauty. And now he's doing 1st: Well he's a serial winner too. Jim Calder Hagen: yes, in the K. He has some crazy highlight goals. But now have you guys noticed he's doing more interviews too with Nesson. And it's like it's really cool to see him just talk about like it his English has improved and just to talk hockey. Like it's very it's very simple, it's very straight, it's very like structured. It it's pretty funny to see. It it's it's cool. I'm I'm glad he's on our team. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. That is cool. 'Cause it that'd be pretty easy just not to do it and just sit in the lock and probably what most guys do when they go over the KHL from from the US. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: But you know what we always say, bought in. It's bought in. Jim Calder Hagen: He's on the bus. The

Jeannot Has The Belt: I love it. Jim Calder Hagen: stum bus. Jeannot Has The Belt: Dave, 1st: All aboard. Jeannot Has The Belt: you mentioned Ray or Mikey, you mentioned Razor. I'm a big Razor guy. I like Jaffy too. Jim Calder Hagen: Mm-hmm. Jeannot Has The Belt: They had a take on Patras celebration. Did you see that? Jim Calder Hagen: When he goes down on a knee and he's like they'd a take on it? Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. They they were cr they were criticizing it. Maybe not criticizing it, but they were they were relating it to like their days of hockey where it's you go and give the guy who passes to you credit before you do a celebration. Like it's it's more about celebrating with your teammates. I think that's an all 1st: That's old man yelling at Cloud. Jeannot Has The Belt: yeah, I Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: I I I I vehemently disagree with that statement. You gotta celebrate it. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, it's that's Jeannot Has The Belt: And then you just give you give your your buddy a a quick, Hey, that was unreal. Thanks for the pass. move on. Yeah. So 1st: Those two are better than that. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, dude, that that's a tired take. the k the kid was almost a week away from never being in the NHL again. And now he's just Jeannot Has The Belt: Agreed. Jim Calder Hagen: he's he's putting five goals in five games. Like he you can celebrate like that if you want. Jeannot Has The Belt: I I completely agree. And that was an absolute Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: rep, too. 1st: I for the for the first time not the first time in a long time, I can't say that, but the bees are exciting to watch now and whatever happens to this team in terms of additions or subtractions or whatever like I think we're in for a good season here. Small sample size, right? Great West Coast trip, but sm big enough sample size to know that like the bees are playing with pace. And there's a lot to be said about what's to come. And like each point they're getting now is like super crucial, especially in in their division, like for the rest of the year. I mean, they have set themselves up to really, really make something happen here in this season. When we were like, they should tank and whatever and I don't know. It seems like there's a breath of fresh air. We said this last year too, Jeannot Has The Belt: I agree. 1st: but it's crazy. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, I think they not to be like a a Bruins Homer here, but I I do think they have rewrit rewritten the book on how you can change your team without actually completely unloading and then trying to reload. And I think they call it like reloading on the fly now and Jim Calder Hagen: Retool. Jeannot Has The Belt: retool on the fly. I think that will you you still need the right pieces. Like they still had Postranok, they still had swimming, they still had McAvoy, so that those are like huge pieces to have. But I think You're seeing the downfalls of trying to rebuild from

one guy like the Blackhawks are because they're brutal right now, so bad. And 1st: Their host. Jeannot Has The Belt: they're trying to run it with Pedard and then they're banking on these other draft picks coming in where the Bruins have just done it in like small little trades like a Marat trade or the the Minton trade, which like we didn't know a ton about Minton before we traded him traded for him for the Carlo trade. Like geez just these little small pieces where you're like you see some flashes and you're like, I can give that guy a shot. That guy might be amount to something. So I I think that's how the Bruins have done it. And Donnie, Donnie gets a ton of slack, but I think people overlook some of the the smaller moves that amount to big moves over the last couple of years. And I think we're I think we're starting to see the fruits of it. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, for sure. I I I kinda think they're similar to the Sharks in a way. So it was really fun to watch them battle it out the past two or not two weeks, but week and a half where they played twice and I mean B's got the edge on So just encouraging to see. 1st: And that was one of the more fun games that they played in a long time, that last game against the Sharks. you had it all, right? A to Z and it was cool to see those guys show up and I don't know, th the bees are just doing this retool in an odd way. Where it's like one draft pick a Jimmy Hagens and then we just love doing business with the Leafs, right? it's just funny how everything everything plays out and they just always find a way to be in the mix. And Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. 1st: It's those same guys, right? begin you mentioned you have the pastas, the McAvoys, the Sways, you gotta guide each one of those positions. You're in a damn good spot. Jeannot Has The Belt: Big time. Jim Calder Hagen: So after the the Predators game, there may have been indulging of some beverages going on, but I sent the tweet out that I've actually seen enough of D PH's play and I'm ready to trade Swayman and have DPHR be just the full on one A starter. Are you trading Swayman for a Larkin straight up? Yeah, Jeannot Has The Belt: No, God no. God no, no. 1st: put the peyote down. Jim Calder Hagen: I got some hate on the tweet. I don't know why. Jeannot Has The Belt: I think I think Swayman's probably the front runner for the Vesina right now, if I had to guess. I haven't looked up the spirits book. Jim Calder Hagen: You seen D. Pietro's stat line? Jeannot Has The Belt: DPHRO shout out him first career, shoutout first career win, I think, in the same week, if I'm 1st: Yes. Jeannot Has The Belt: not mistaken. He looked phenomenal. Jim Calder Hagen: He looked incredible. He really did. 1st: look great. Tonight Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. 1st: I I think tonight who's going tonight? Is it him or Sway? I would assume. Tonight's Jeannot Has The Belt: I'm assuming Swayman, yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: Swamin'. Swamin'. Yeah. 1st: gonna be a big test. And we're recording, we probably should have prefaced this. We're recording here on October twenty seventh when they play the Hurricanes. Jim Calder Hagen: Scheduled loss. Halloween Jeannot Has The Belt: Don't disagree. Jim Calder Hagen: Halloween rookie party Saturday night. 1st: Yes. Jim Calder Hagen: They had they had bag skate at practice yesterday. Did you see that? They were doing sprints yesterday. 1st: Yeah, I had qualms with WEEI's Instagram post. They were calling like Jim Calder Hagen: What was it? 1st: they were saying they were doing Herbys, but they were like on the board like they were on the sidewall, just skating like Jim Calder Hagen: Half wall sprints. 1st: to the dot and back. I was like, just not Herbies. WEI admin, get a new job. Jim Calder Hagen: Just not Herbie's. Yeah, that's ridiculous. But yeah, I I I do think they're gonna lose tonight. I mean, I don't think you can just have a Halloween party like that and be functionable like forty eight hours later. but if we want to go through the Halloween party real quick too, I think best costume, Mason Lowrai. 1st: you took the words right out of my mouth. Right out of my mouth. Incredible. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, that was good. 1st: Dude, he looked just like the who do you think you are I am? Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Pete Weber. That's what he was. 1st: Yeah incredible. Jeannot Has The Belt: What was what was Peterka? Jim Calder Hagen: King Julian from Madagascar. But he looked like the he look he looked like the Baba Duke, kinda, which is also crazy. Jeannot Has The Belt: It's pretty I you look like a a fairy. That was great. Jim Calder Hagen: and then honorable mention to Corale, Charlie, and Kylie McAvoy. they were the bench warmers. And Jeannot Has The Belt: Love that. 1st: Great. Jim Calder Hagen: Kylie Kylie looked really funny with the helmet on the head. Or not the helmet, the the Jeannot Has The Belt: I saw Jim Calder Hagen: like the haircut. It looked hilarious. Jeannot Has The Belt: Are you guys trailer park boys guys? Jim Calder Hagen: Of course. Jeannot Has The Belt: You see 1st: I never really got into it. Jeannot Has The Belt: God, it's unbelievable. I probably watched it ten times through. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, same. Jeannot Has The Belt: but r Ricky, Geeky dressed up as Ricky, which is just yeah. He Jim Calder Hagen: he did? I didn't even notice that. Jeannot Has The Belt: had the wig on with the the short sleeve button down, like flames going down. It was good. yeah. Big sig in his mouth. Great. Jim Calder Hagen: The sideburns. That's hilarious. Swayman was a Costco employee, which was fine. He's like wearing the beard net. Jeannot Has The Belt: Ha ha ha. Jim Calder Hagen: Is that offensive? Jeannot Has The Belt: Hmm. Jim Calder Hagen: That was funny though. But yeah, th they're probably gonna lose tonight. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, and I and I and y one could assume they went out on Satur was it Saturday night? Yeah.

One could assume they went out on Saturday 'cause I think they were off the next day. I mean, that's Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. 1st: They been on a heater. Jeannot Has The Belt: green lights. That's complete green lights. Yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, they deserve it. You they can 1st: Hey, if they get a point out of tonight, similar to the Terry Black situation, what a world. Jeannot Has The Belt: That's best case scenario. That's best case. Jim Calder Hagen: That's a win. Jeannot Has The Belt: But I I also think we have to prepare for impact here a little bit. There 1st: Yes. Jeannot Has The Belt: will be a skid at some point. There will be. it just it's natural. They'll go Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: lose maybe three or four in a row. WEEI will be in flames, they'll be yelling at their their screens and people will be freaking out. Our voicemails will be popping off and all this other stuff, but they've shown enough. I said fifteen games were three away from it. And we have Canes tonight, someone blues Thursday and Blackhawks Saturday. So if they can grab even just four points out of those three games, that carries us to eleven three and one heading into that sixteenth game, it's pretty damn good. So Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah and Jeannot Has The Belt: I agree with you, Mikey, tonight is Without a doubt, a scheduled loss. And just be prepared Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: for a six two, five one game somewhere around. 1st: We're such cynical people. Just Jim Calder Hagen: Bit of a gauntlet coming up. 1st: a just schedule in a lost boy just pencil it and it's come. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. Real Jim Calder Hagen: No, I d I don't I think I don't even think that's cynical. I I think we're just Yeah. 1st: No, we're just realistic. Jeannot Has The Belt: We no, we we live in real life. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, yeah. Exactly. There's a lot of people that don't like guy I'm related to, he's a terrorist, but long time listener the show. Anyways, a little Jeannot Has The Belt: Ha ha ha. Jim Calder Hagen: bit of a gauntlet coming after that. They got after the Blackhawks game on Halloween, they got the Knights, then the Penguins, the Panthers, Canadians, and Wild. Jeannot Has The Belt: Holy cow. I know. I know. It's Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, so hey, get the points now. Get the points now, right? 1st: Boys. Jeannot Has The Belt: a good point. I'll be there December fifth, one PM game, matinee, red wings. Maybe a trade before that. Who knows? Maybe not. Jim Calder Hagen: Maybe. Probably not. 1st: Maybe we've been exploring Matinee games. Maybe we see you there. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. Matinee's are I'll go on the record, I know hopefully in my eulogy. matinee games are the best thing in Godscreen's Earth. It is you you 1st: We we're gonna bring Isla. Jim Calder Hagen: They are. Jeannot Has The Belt: my you 1st: Hold her Jeannot Has The Belt: you Jim Calder Hagen: Have full sketter on the jumbotron. You'll probably win Sal's Pizza fan of the game. 1st: That's fine. I love me a good pie. Jeannot Has The Belt: With the headphones on too. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, put the headphones on. 1st: You know she's rocking the headphones. Jim Calder Hagen: My first Bruins game. Guaranteed. Yeah. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. With that big smile, she'll kill it. 1st: I we we gotta Jim Calder Hagen: dude. 1st: get some same seed stuff printed before we do that. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yep. Yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: True. True. 1st: I will use my daughter for a marketing campaign. Jeannot Has The Belt: Good. Jim Calder Hagen: Good. Jeannot Has The Belt: We'll cut we'll cut her we'll 1st: I'm going I'm I'm going on the record. Jeannot Has The Belt: we'll put some money into her college fund. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. We gotta hit 1st: Okay, that the five twenty nine B. Jim Calder Hagen: up gotta hit up Parker. Parker, we gotta we gotta funnel the slush fund for pinned into Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: the Island College fund. Jeannot Has The Belt: You need ILA going to Harvard. 1st: I'll send over the routing number. I got but I gotta Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah. 1st: make sure Uncle Uncle Pete puts her in some good investments. Jim Calder Hagen: That's right. Yeah, we we do need to connect with our finance guy before we make any any more finance moves. 1st: He is our money manager. Jim Calder Hagen: Yes. Thank you, Pete. Shout out. Shout out JP Morgan Chase. Great company. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yes. Okay. 1st: Co worker. Jim Calder Hagen: Coworker. 1st: Any housekeeping, Uncle Brian, for the lads here? Jeannot Has The Belt: Nothing on my end. I th I thought kind of just on the same Elias conversation, him leading the league and face stop percentage is a really, really good stat. It was back to Sturm's point before the year that they're gonna focus heavily on that. And there was like a they Nesson posted a graphic graphic about am I saying that right? Graphic? Why is it somewhere 1st: Yeah, you're good. Jim Calder Hagen: Mm-hmm. Jeannot Has The Belt: when I say right now? I don't know why I just success at the dot and it was high as single game face off win percentage for the season. the Anaheim game, they had a s almost seventy percent face off win percentage. Seven out of ten is crazy. So if they continue to f to win at the dot like they are, that changes the entirety of the game. And yeah, that's pretty much all I got. 1st: Hey, you get the puck off the draw. You're in a good spot. You're not chasing the game. Jeannot Has The Belt: No. 1st: We'll love it. Jeannot Has The Belt: Mikey Mikey EasyMont. Nine goals and six games. 1st: Lighting it up. Jeannot Has The Belt: I mean, give the g give the give the guy a shot here. Jim Calder Hagen: Good for him. Good for him. Dude, if if you're down there, just you might as well have fun scoring goals. Jeannot Has The Belt: Give the guy a shot. That nine and six is crazy. 1st: Yeah, that is not and it's a good league too. Jim Calder Hagen:

Pashnak moved up to twenty to one. He's now in the top seven, which is crazy. It's it's McDavid, McKinnon, Celebrini, Capriceov, Dreisettel, Kucharov, pasta. 1st: Bishop'll David in already. Jeannot Has The Belt: yeah, yeah, a hundred percent. Jim Calder Hagen: Yeah, I know that's 1st: He's full secko. Jim Calder Hagen: a the dude has what are Jeannot Has The Belt: And Jim Calder Hagen: you, forty points in twelve games? 1st: Got more points than the Flyers.

They are now minus one fifteen. 1st: Wow, what a swing. Jeannot Has The Belt: Crazy. Jim Calder Hagen: Damn. Jeannot Has The Belt: And 1st: What a swing. Jeannot Has The Belt: and the Stanley Cup odds have updated. They were 100 to 1 last time. They are now 65 to 1. Jim Calder Hagen: Interesting. Jeannot Has The Belt: Behind the penguins, the Rangers, the Blue Jackets, and the Flyers, and the Sharks is pretty crazy to me. They know something we don't. Jim Calder Hagen: You said they're behind the flyers? Jeannot Has The Belt: They're behind the Flyers, Blue Jackets, Rangers, and Penguins. 1st: Vegas always knows something Jim Calder Hagen: That just doesn't make sense. 1st: we don't.

Jeannot Has The Belt: I think he's the man. I think he's the man. Jim Calder Hagen: I thought it was s I thought it was so funny. 1st: I'm a massive Brady Kachuk fan, the Kachuk brothers, even though they play for the Panthers. Like you gotta respect what they're doing for the game and everything. And it's just hilarious. Like the chance they were coming up with, like what was it, you can't read? Come on. Like that is incredible. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah. Jim Calder Hagen: Absurd. Jeannot Has The Belt: It's it's almost like too simple. I didn't a lot the the 1st: Which I respect. Jeannot Has The Belt: Yeah, yes and no. Jim Calder Hagen: I respect it. Jeannot Has The Belt: I I I I know you gotta keep it pretty much PG when you got everyone in unison yelling it, but I thought Br I think I think Brady, the way that he handled that situation, was far better. He went out there, they they're booing their heads off and he's cla he's clapping. He's like, Thank you, thank you. he's so he's he's good at being at the building. Jim Calder Hagen: Dude, it was incredible. 1st: Thanks. He was a lock to score that game too. Jeannot Has The Belt: yeah. They got they got walloped, but regardless, 1st: Yeah.
