The Utah Mammoth
is sort of proud to present NashCast.
What the f*** is a NashCast?
NashCast
the only hockey show on the planet
the only hockey show on the planet
on the planet
hosted by a human speed bag.
Fourth line wannabe.
Healthy scratch.
Snazzy Motto.
Tyson Nash.
Who the hell is Tyson Nash?
Never heard of him.
And the baritone with a brain.
The velvet hammer.
Mr.
Silky
Tono Suave,
the radio voice of your Utah Mammoth
Code Blue!
Mike Folta
Oh, captain,
my captain
NashCast begins now.
“Ready for takeoff.”
Here's Tyler Ganoosh and Mickey
Foghorn. Wait, what?
Oh, here's Tyson Nash
and Mike Folta.
Welcome back.
Foltz.
Quiet weekend for myself.
I did very little.
Didn't do actually anything.
I know you were probably working
on the tan of yours.
I see the hair coming in.
You're growing the loaf out buddy.
But, what did you get up to?
You're looking.
You're looking good, buddy.
Yeah. We, We kicked off Mammoth Week
get to that in a little bit.
Did,
did some hiking with our producer
Adam and,
our pre and post guy on the radio.
Adrian Denny.
Almost,
almost,
didn't make it up to the top of the Logan
Wind Caves,
a great spot in northern,
in northern Utah.
And and got kicked
around on the golf course a little bit.
We talk about golf, like,
every episode Tyson,
If anybody hates golf
and who's listening,
they're probably,
like punching their steering wheel
right now.
But but I was playing
a little bit of golf,
but it looked nowhere near as fun
or as incredible or as impactful
as what you were doing on the
course this, this weekend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh my God,
buddy, I had the maybe the best day.
Two days,
maybe the best two days of my life.
All right, so I love golf.
First of all, I'm absolutely terrible.
So I was we played in this tournament.
It's called the cancer community event.
It was, in Coral Lane Resort,
one of the most beautiful resort courses
you can play in America.
I'm just telling you,
if you get a chance, you gotta play it.
But on top of it,
the first day, day one,
I got hooked up with Mark Rypien.
I get ripped
or I get, hooked up with Andy
Brady.
Brady Anderson.
Sorry, Brady Anderson.
I'm not a huge baseball guy.
So hopefully
we can actually edit that out
because,
yes, the leadoff hitter
for the Orioles for years
this guy had 50 dingers,
I think three years in a row.
How he's not in
the Hall of Fame is beyond me.
So. Brady, I'm sorry.
I think we can edit that out, though.
But, Mark Rypien. Are you kidding me?
This guy is the absolute best.
Gentle giant won
a Super Bowl,
was the MVP of the Super Bowl.
For the Redskins at the time.
Now, the Commanders, I believe it was.
But we had so many laughs.
And then day to day two comes out.
Now I'm from Edmonton right.
So I'm from Edmonton
and I
am the biggest NFL fan on top of it all.
So I get I see this tee sheet come out
Wayne Gretzky, John Elway, John Cooper
and Tyson Nash.
So which one is not like the others?
Right.
So I'm playing with those studs.
I can't even tell you.
I literally crapped my pants.
I'm teeing off.
I had to,
you know,
banged down
a couple cocktails, a couple coffees
and Bailey's just to take the edge off.
Right?
Just to get the nerves out
a little bit, but,
I pepperoni’d one right down the pipe,
right down the pipe on hole one.
and I’m like
Yeah, suck on that.
99. Let's go.
But it was awesome.
And when you get a chance
and I know them,
I met them, you know,
but I've never really played
a ton of golf with them.
So to to see and to experience them.
And when they're your heroes. Right.
And then realize
they're even better dudes
like we were ripping each other,
I felt like I was back
in the locker room.
We were just carving each other.
And then at night
there's a Dierks Bentley concert
and, Dierks, you know,
we've,
we've shared a few cocktails
in the past before.
So he kind of gave me
a little bit of a shout out on stage.
So I was I was feeling
really, really good, buddy.
So I'm on cloud nine right now.
I'm in the hotel here in Salt Lake.
It's Mammoth Week, Foltz.
And this is my story. Right?
So every time I get to get to a hotel,
this is typically the view I get.
All right.
So I always get the air conditioner view
I don't know if you can see that or not
or or the, the parking lot view.
So I'm happy to be here, no question.
But that's just par for the course
right there.
And that's a view of the old work
bench behind me.
Is that
is that a holiday
Inn express they got you in?
It's actually I'm right
across from the Delta Center.
So now,
I mean, I'm seeing the action
front and center, right.
It is a zoo over there right now
with all the construction,
everything that's going on.
I mean, this whole
franchise is under construction.
The practice facility, the big rink,
they are spending some bank,
and it's all for fan
experience and player experience.
Yeah.
Oh, they're doing crazy construction
right now at Delta Center.
But we got to go back to to your weekend.
What kind of player is
is 99 on the track?
He, he had an off day.
He said but the mitts, right.
The mitts are the mitts.
Soft, silky
and Mark Rypien to
this guy had sausage fingers
like he had bought
it was like he had boxing gloves on.
Right.
And this guy around
the green was just throwing darts.
His putting was Donny-Dead-Nuts.
I was calling them all day long.
So, And he said
he's going to do the show.
So Mark Rypien’s going to come
on, do the show one of these days.
I I'm so pumped.
But again, what an opportunity.
You get a chance to play with
guys like that
and you realize
they're they're obviously athletes
like they are,
but they're better human beings.
So, had a riot.
Elway.
John Elway, same same thing.
This guy,
can he drive the ball
and again, just hands off
and to be expected
right there quarterbacks I mean they
they have the
certainly have the silkiness
might be the only guy with teeth
whiter than yours.
Tyson, John Elway
he's got some great chompers.
Not like,
I don't know about you,
but whenever I've met or come across
or seen videos of quarterbacks,
like there's something different
about them, right?
Like, did you do you notice that
with with Elway?
Like, there's a different kind of air.
I don't know if it's leadership
or confidence or what,
but like those those high level QBs,
like there's a certain way they,
they carry themselves.
It feels like. Really,
Yes. That is true. Like 1,000%.
They just don't have the nerves, right?
They're calm.
They're cool in every situation
on the course.
I was never so happy.
We played for small amounts of of money,
and I've never been so happy to pay
John Elway
and Wayne Gretzky
a little bit of dough for losing.
I might have beat Wayne.
I'm not exactly
sure what our scores ended up,
but I lost, in the betting category.
But, John Cooper too.
You should see that
this guy shot it like a 77 or something.
Finished third in the tournament.
And on top of it all,
I think those two days
we raised,
like, $1.7 million for, for cancer.
So the people that need it,
the people that can't afford it,
that need some help,
that need the support.
So, I'm a huge, cancer supporter, lost
my mom at the age of 57 to liver cancer.
My father in law as well.
So, it, it hits, it hits home.
So that's the most important part, 100%.
That's a special weekend
Coop had been a blast to play with too.
Are you trying to get the lowdown on the,
on the squad from him
while you guys were on the course?
I was nawwing
His ear off all day.
I think by the end of the golf game,
his ear was literally bleeding.
I just
when you get a chance to,
you know, to sit and hang
with those guys for 5 or 6 hours,
you just,
you soak it up like a sponge, right?
And I don't know
if there's a
more charismatic, a more quick
witted guy than John Cooper.
I can't imagine playing for this guy.
And I said that I was like,
I wish you were my coach.
I would have went
through an absolute wall for you.
You say that
while Wayne was standing right there?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we laugh because,
I was talking to my good buddy
the other day, Tyler
Johnson, who just retired. Right.
So he was with the Chicago
Blackhawks, played over 700 games,
and I walk into his retirement
party and Wayne Gretzky is there.
I'm like, well, that's weird.
Wayne Gretzky
put me into retirement
because he was my coach
for the Arizona Coyotes.
He wasn't at my ret-
and then threw a party after.
It just wasn't your retirement party.
Yeah, exactly.
So we laughed about that story
a little bit on the course,
but I,
I just loved
every like,
everyone has the gift of the gab
except John Elway.
He's pretty quiet guy.
But,
you know,
it was just so fun
just giving it to a guy.
I'm like, I just carved Wayne Gretzky.
How funny is that?
Like, what can I carve
Wayne Gretzky about?
But, yeah,
he gave it back on your forehead.
Oh, yeah, he he gave it back, trust me.
And all day long,
he was playing the NashCast ball.
So I gave everyone a sleeve.
They absolutely loved it. So, it was.
It was a great time.
What a what a weekend.
Well, what do we get for you, Nasher
We had a pretty good weekend.
Like I said, we were up in Logan.
That was the kickoff of Mammoth Week,
which I know
you're going to be involved in.
This week as this drops on Wednesday,
you'll have already been out
on a couple of these, events.
You're going to be on the ice.
What? Coaching skills and all that stuff.
I was on the ice up in Logan,
and I had, like, the track suit on
and so people
didn't really know who I was, but, like,
I had the look, right?
Like,
I look like a,
like a Mammoth coach
or scout or something like that.
You know, I play beer league hockey.
I'm terrible.
But Nick Olcyzk,
on the other hand,
for our broadcast team,
Nasher this guy was like in full
Andre Tourigny mode, like just
giving it to these eight year
olds on the ice, you know,
and just full coach mode.
And it was so natural for him.
And so funny to watch Nicky-O
coach at this clinic.
And I was
I was sitting there
just giving like generic coaching advice
because I didn't know what was going on.
Right.
Like, move your skates,
move your skates, move.
You know, like
like just generic one liners.
But I was out there.
I was,
I was pushing pucks and I was a little,
pile on to skate around.
But it was a ton of fun at Logan,
we had face painting,
we had, merch and
like, these skills competitions. There's.
We had a radar gun out there.
I want to see the radar gun.
Wow.
I don't want to see me on the radar gun.
No, I couldn't, break a pane of glass.
Foltz.
When I, when I played with my shot,
You could shoot it.
I had a muffin.
I had an absolute
muffin, but I can't wait.
I don't know how much coaching I'm
going to do.
It's been a while, but,
I absolutely love it.
This is where you fall in love
with the game.
All the kids that are coming out there.
No, you're not going to make the NHL,
but it takes work right?
Whether you're Jarome
Iginla, Dylan Guenther,
Logan Cooley,
this is where it all starts.
It started the exact same way for myself
and all of the Utah
Mammoth hockey players.
You have to start somewhere.
You grind it out
your work, you put the work ethic in and,
you never know what's going to happen.
It is the best game in the world
whether you make it or not.
Some of my best friends, Foltz,
I know we've talked about this
before, are still my
my old hockey teammates
from when I was five, all the way up
to, you know,
33, I think, when I retired.
So, those are friendships
and bonds that you have for a lifetime.
Yeah.
And with these events, like,
we just want to get hockey
sticks in, in kids hands, right?
And get them to feel that camaraderie.
And we definitely felt that on day one.
And Logan,
we'll be in Provo
and Park City and Cottonwood Heights.
Ogden.
Enoch.
St. George, it's, Clayton
Keller's going to be in Saint George.
From what it sounds like.
That's going to be pretty special
to have the captain
at one of these events.
But,
really special stuff with Mammoth Week,
kind of growing the game
throughout this great state
that we've come to love,
but, look forward to,
to seeing what you could do out there.
Tyson might,
pick up a couple pointers from you.
Yeah, I'm not so sure.
Just, don't critique me.
And they're better not be any analytics.
And I'll tell you what Foltz.
Speaking of friends,
I know we taped this one, a while
back, but,
one of my good friends,
a guy that protected me my entire career,
basically with the Saint Louis Blues,
I had Tony Twist,
I had Kelly Chase, I had Reed Simpson,
and I had Reed Low
and Reed Low was one of my good buddies.
One of the great, great guys in the game,
today forever.
And, we had him on the show.
We Nash crashed him,
with one, two,
actually two unbelievable guests.
So I cannot wait
for everyone to see this one.
Welcome back.
Foltz, do we have another show for you.
My goodness.
One of my old teammates
I used to stir it up.
This guy used to clean it up.
I kept him employed
for a number of years.
Protected my butt
around the ice
with the Saint Louis Blues,
but Reed Low, buddy.
Welcome to the show, my man.
Thank you for having me, man.
When I got that text message
the other day, I'm like,
absolutely, let's get on screen
and, make a mockery of ourselves.
Hey, buddy.
Don't lie. Don't lie.
You're gonna have a nose like mine
if you're not careful, right?
You’re not that excited.
I know you're going to send me a bill
after this show
Show airs in a couple weeks.
No bills.
I'm free.
Free of charge for you, brother.
Free of charge.
Reed,
You're doing your own content now, right?
I mean, you're breaking down fights.
And what?
What made you get into that?
When did you start that?
I about two years ago.
I started kind of having some fun
with it.
Friday night fights with your boy
Lowzy. Kind of what we tagged it as.
And I would get on
and I'd break some fights down.
And then I just got busy with life and,
kind of got away from it a bit.
And then, just the guy
was doing my videography
and his, his buddy, his, you know, been
a producer in Hollywood
and done some stuff with, Adam Sandler.
They called me up.
They're like, man,
we gotta get this thing going again.
So, we did.
We're. Right.
Now we're just kind of teasing it
a little bit.
I'm working on getting Cam Jansen
locked down as my first guest
here on Tuesday. Coming up.
And then,
Nash Daddy is going to be coming
on, and I want
I want to do it live with Nasher.
So when he comes up to see his daughter
who works for our Blues alumni,
I'm going to steal him for,
afternoon, drag him to my house
and we'll have a little fun with it.
But, yeah, it's pretty cool, man.
We just, like, right now,
we're just kind of taking, like,
the Nick Tarnasky
We took a little bit of,
a little shot at that
and just having some fun with it.
That's all.
Break it down.
Oh, that was my first question.
I mean, you're a former tough guy.
Kind of like Tarnasky.
what's going through his head?
Break that fight down.
I mean, and how many times?
Because I know you love the fight.
I know you love to fight.
Well, first off, I'm not sure I wouldn't
be able to keep from laughing right now
watching this guy.
Like, are you kidding me?
And I love it.
Like,
he kind of goes out of screen there,
but Nick just turns him around.
and just like dummies him
I'm right into the lake.
You know how nasty those ponds
are at golf courses?
Like the fact that this guy got out
and came back and didn't
just get this car and go home
is absolutely unreal right now.
Like,
I don't know, I've never been on a street
fight, or a bar fight ever in my life.
I know people don't believe that,
but I haven't been so
I probably would have just
tried to wrestle him down.
I don't know if I would have
thrown any punches like he is.
First off, the noises, the bang bang.
I felt like I was back in 1976, Batman
with, Adam West
where they got the bangs
and the pow’s coming out.
I've never, ever swung a fist
at a guy
and said, bang,
I don't know what he was
thinking, but,
it it was absolutely hilarious
content and, you know, it was,
it was fun to watch,
but I'd like to
hopefully not get in a fight there.
Personally, I'd hopefully
want to be able to,
to make myself,
you know,
you know, y'all,
he obviously has to do something
because the guys coming at him
and he's going to swing.
So he's got to defend himself
in some way.
But I hope I would have had the composure
just grabbed him by the throat,
put him on the ground
and tell his friend
to get him out of here.
It's going to be a problem.
And again, at the end of the day,
if fisticuffs is where it comes,
you gotta do what you gotta do.
But hopefully, hopefully,
I wouldn't have hit him
because I tell you,
and Nasher knows
like 30 toughest guys in the world
on skates, the guys that play in the NHL
and we don't throw pillows.
So you could hurt a regular
Joe guy like that
if you hit him in the
wrong spot, you know
it well.
His linemates were nowhere near
like they disappeared
like crickets and sunlight.
Man, it was unbelievable.
It was like, oh, I’m out,
that guys way too big.
That was like me Foltz
When I played with Lowzy
I was like, I'm out of here.
I think our producer is standing by
and I want to get to it right away Lowzy,
But this was an absolute classic.
I was literally crapping
my pants, with this one.
So thank God you are right beside me.
But we got a clip here
we want to show you,
with you and,
I believe it was Aaron Downey.
Yeah.
and that's not a
That's not a nice guy
hitting you, Tyson either.
That's that's Bob Probert
Right?
that was Aaron Downey.
I'm not sure he has the head
on his shoulders anymore.
I hit him,
I hit him with a couple left hands here
that I'm not sure how he didn't go down.
Downey’s
one of the toughest guys out there.
Right here.
Uppercut. Just like absolutely.
Side of the temple.
missed the side of the face
like, and Aaron Downey
fought them all.
He fought the big guys.
He fought the middleweights.
He was not scared of nothing.
We fought a bunch in the minors.
We fought a few times in the NHL
And then we were teammates
in Saint Louis for a short time,
before I got sent to the minors.
And he took my job.
you know, how did not go down and right?
My goodness,
those look at those locks though.
Nasher. remember the Lowzy locks?
Hey you love the hair flip, eh?
No one loved it more.
friggin after the fight
The music cranked
at he’s friggin’ dancing,
on the way to the penalty box
Chaser used to get so pissed off at me for
For showboating too.
I'm like, you didn't do it.
I do do it.
I don't care, man.
Like you keep getting mad at me, Chaser.
But what?
Tell me.
Like Lowzy, when I played,
I literally crapped my pants
before every game
because I was that tough, right?
I mean, for a tough guy,
that it was your job to do that.
I mean, did
you have those butterflies every night,
night before a game?
Were are you thinking about
it weeks before?
I mean, what was going through your mind
and kind of
how did you get yourself
through that to get to the game?
I think you just, you
you bottle up a little bit,
scared to death
before every fight, especially fighting
guys like George Laroque.
Like the guys.
Just an absolute mountain of muscle.
He had to work hard to keep weight off.
I swear on anything,
this guy would have been
a defensive lineman in the NFL.
You probably would have been better job
for him.
Like he was just an absolute beast.
The fear was always there.
I think it's what kept me alive.
Because I knew that, any given night,
any guys going down and, you know,
and I talk about it all the time,
like the trifecta of hockey fights,
like I used to give Jody Shelly
all kinds of trouble.
And there was guys that Jody Shelley used
to fight that he handled.
And I struggled with those guys.
And so,
you know,
when you're
when you're in
that you've known each other,
you typically for the most part,
you've grown through hockey
with these guys for the most part,
other than,
you know, some of the older guys
that are in the league
but tough guys don't like.
I had a ten year career,
and I think that's a pretty good
career for a tough guy because it just
it gets old, man.
You get 30 years old and like,
I don't want to get punched
in the face again tonight
when I was 24 years old
and I'm just making the game, I'm like,
I can't wait to get in a fight.
I was in nine fights in my first nine
NHL games.
Joel Quenneville called me in the office
after the seventh game.
He's like,
are you gonna fight every night?
I'm like, do you ask Al MacInnis
if he's going to score points
every night?
If I got to fight every night, Joel,
I'm here. I'm your guy.
I was like,
the stat book on, on hockeyfights.com.
My buddies
and I were looking up one night.
Nine fights in nine games, 17 in 26 games.
17 fights in my first 26 games.
I think I played
56 games that year and I had 26 fights.
So, I knew my role and I loved it, and I,
You’re still halfway pretty
like you're almost pretty still.
I mean, I didn't like fighting, like,
I'm not a fighter.
But I, at 17 years of age, found this way
to have my teammates
have a love for me
that I was looking for.
And I was
I was a guy
that nobody really wanted to do it.
I ended up being kind of good at it.
It was a way for me.
I tell people all the time,
I wanted to fight
more than I didn't want to make the NHL,
and that was the only way
I was going to get there.
And so I'm like, giddy up, let's go.
And, you know, my junior career,
Moose Jaw Warriors, 76 fights in 123 games.
Like, it's it's ridiculous.
When I look back at it and I scratch my head.
I'm like, what are you.
What were you doing?
You're an absolute,
you know, only player
in NHL history to have two 50+
penalty minute games.
Like, where did that come from?
I don't know, it's just part of it.
I gotta ask you about those.
Those two nights. Okay?
I got them right here
the 28th of February 2002,
and then like two months before,
New Year's Eve 2022.
Or.
No, that would be actually later
that year.
But, what in the world were those nights like?
like were
that's just fight after fight
a couple misconducts.
I mean, yeah,
the penalty minutes
stack up when you start
getting game misconducts.
Misconducts
you know,
The Calgary game,
Bob Boughner laid a nasty hit on
Dougie Weight, actually tore his hip
muscle off of the bone.
He was out till a
I think he even played
in the playoffs that year, Nasher.
But he wasn't he wasn't 60% like he was
He needed to be out
for the rest of the year.
And those were moments
where like Joel Quenneville was
like hey Lowzy, you're up next.
And I don't want to see you
for the rest of the game.
And I'm just like loosening
the screws in the back of my head.
Showtime baby, let's go!
And I would go out there
and I would just start a brawl.
And, that night I fought Bob Boughner.
I didn't really fight Boogie.
I threw him up against the glass,
then threw him down on the ice
and just started beating the crap
out of the back of his head.
And then everybody came in.
Nasher was on the ice.
He paired up with Craig Berube
and was probably begging for mercy.
And.
Yeah, his hand was right.
Yeah.
I sat down after.
he's like that,
He's like,
at least there's one spot in his face
he couldn't miss, anyways.
It’s a big target, it's a big target.
So.
And then, Robyn Regehr
I fought Robyn Regehr in the same shift.
And in the first period,
I fought, Craig Berube
and I instigated that fight.
I probably should have
got instigator penalty.
if I would have got to instigator penalty
on that specific first period fight,
I would have broke the record
for most penalty minutes in a game.
It's held by Rich Fox in 1979.
He has 67 minutes,
so that would have given me
another 17 minutes.
I had 73 minutes in
one game but didn't happen.
That is crazy.
But, I don't know if you remember, Lowzy,
like when we first kind of got there.
I was a free agent.
You were, drafted,
I think in the seventh round
by the Blues.
First of all,
what did it mean to be a Blue to you?
But I don't know if you remember that
car ride.
We were heading down the highway.
I think it was the 40.
And, you were the DJ,
and we were going to
I think it was fitness testing,
and you put on a song
I'd never heard before.
It was Buckcherry.
Yeah. I'll never forget.
I was so PUMPED, listening to that song
go on into the fitness testing
because my song was, Travis Tritt.
'I’m Gonna Be Somebody’
but I think everyone had a song. Right?
But I'll never forget that car ride.
And certainly that training camp that,
we both had, I think you fought Twister.
I fought Chaser,
it was certainly memorable,
but that's how you got to make the team.
Well, I think the-
What I remember most of it, actually,
I fought Chase right after you,
in that training camp game,
we were on the same team,
and you went and absolutely
laid Pavol Demitra completely out.
And Chaser came after you,
and you did what you're supposed to do.
You fought them.
And then we went around for
another set of shifts, and,
and I was out after you,
and you guys were having a Face-Off
right against our box.
and Chaser’s hacking you, and he's whacking
and he's hacking again.
And I just jumped over the boards
and stepped in between them,
and I said, hey,
he's already done his fight.
If you want to have another piece of him,
it's got to come through me.
So, I fought Chaser in that moment and,
the,
the scouting staff
was just absolutely loved it.
That was our second.
That was, the year that,
I don't think- that was our sec- my second year.
So I think that was your first year
with the Blues.
You did get some time up,
but you were in-
Greg Gilbert played
you more than any hockey player
on planet Earth and Worcester that year.
But then I had to fight Twister
the next day. That wasn't pretty.
He comes out, grabs me,
tosses me around, and he's sitting on my.
I'm laying
flat on the ice
kind of with my hands over,
over and over, cupping my years.
He's sitting on my back
open handcuffing me.
I'm the sheriff in this town, boy.
And I'm like, yes, you are.
Just stop hitting me
with those bear claws.
Please, please, please, please.
But my
one of my favorite
moments was our next training camp.
We had 23 men on the roster.
There was two guys
sitting in a hotel room together,
me and T-Nash, right there.
And we're sitting there
waiting, and I'm like, man,
we we
if they don't take anybody
in the waiver draft.
You know, you're 22 and I'm 23
and that year, Nasher
had to clear waivers
to get sent to the minors, and I didn’t,
and sure enough, they picked
Terry Yake up off waivers.
Tyson made the team,
and I got sent to the minors, and,
I was so upset, so mad.
But it ended up being great
because I played a ton that year.
I got power play penalty killing time.
I think I had 30 close to 30 points, 250,
225 minutes or something like that.
But I would say
like my favorite hockey year of all of my
whole hockey career,
including junior, I just
I got to play, I got the fight.
I really got to do the enforcer role
the way that I feel like
it's supposed to be done.
And then the next year
I made the hockey team and hey, Nasher,
I just want to
thank you right now,
because that year you made the team.
We both were,
we both were at an age
where we had to play 80 games
by the time we were 25,
or else we were unrestricted free agents.
And Tyson absolutely robbed the bank
at the end of that year
because the Blues-
I had a ski mask on.
He had a ski mask on and everything.
So yeah, he absolutely robbed-
he should have got like six, six-fifty, seven.
Instead he got like 950 a mill-
and I'm like, oh my gosh this is great.
So training camp
that first year that I'm coming in
three months ago
they offered me a, a qualifying offer.
You get a 10% raise.
I think my
I think I was going to like 660
or something like that.
And they're like,
we got to get Lowzy locked up
because there's no way that this kid's
going to play all 80 games.
We're going to healthy
scratch him a bunch.
And so I ended up
I ended up signing a three year,
one way contract
without ever playing an NHL game.
So thank you Tyson Nash for that.
I'm good for something.
And Foltz,
I don't know if you've seen this ever,
I know you're a historian of the game,
but one of the best fights
I've ever seen in my entire life.
I was on the ice.
I had front row seats to this one,
but PJ Stock and Reed Low,
let's let's run the tape.
This is a beaut.
You can see
I'm kind of kicking my feet off
from the top of the screen, there.
Gloves come off.
I said to PJ,
There’s about 14 minutes left in the third period.
It's a 2-2 game
Saturday afternoon in Boston Gardens
or TD Boston Garden.
And I said
let's put a show on for the fans.
Your lefts, my rights.
Let's do this.
And so he's like not a problem.
And we just
and the the homer fans
PJ is pissing this away I'm like
are you kidding me?
He's not even hitting me.
He's not even hitting me as much.
But I hit him with two uppercuts here
that I think he's still feeling.
Do you have the tearaway jersey there?
I mean, that thing got shredded
pretty quick.
Left uppercut.
Yeah. He’s- It doesn’t look like
My tie must be on.
But, watch this one right here, Nasher.
And after that, these guys.
Great guy.
I got to hang out with him
a little bit
at some of the stuff
that we do
as alumni, fantasy camps
and stuff like that down in Nashville
one year.
He's just an absolute awesome, dude, too.
We had some good tilts though, man.
I fought that guy,
I think I fought him
more than just about anybody
except for Dale Purinton.
Dale Purinton
was an absolute meat stick.
Still a good buddy of mine today.
We in my last year of
junior, we played in the playoffs.
We fought five of the six games
that we played in the playoffs was
against them that year. So.
And the game, I didn't fight him.
I fought Mike O’Grady, so.
Unreal.
Dale Purinton
he tried to claw my eye out
but, Lowzy,
I got to tell you,
part of the NashCast is a NashCrasher,
and we had,
somebody that wanted to say
hi to you
and uh crash the party,
so let's bring him in.
You're an a**, Reed.
Oh, my gosh, I'm still drooling.
I'm still drooling.
Like, I'm like- Nasher’s like
hey, come on in with Reeder
so you can talk about your fights.
I started drooling
and had to pour myself a drink,
for crying out loud.
It’s 5:00 somewhere, Peej.
I'm at the cottage and,
Tyson reached out, and I'm like,
This is something that
I've been listening to
you guys talk for the first, 20 minutes.
This is.
No one can understand our life
except for the people that are listening,
that understand our lives.
It is so crazy.
From the music you guys driving to, to
Twister, sitting on you, paddling
you on the side of the head.
That would only happen at a hockey-
At a at a hockey camp
where guys understand what he's doing.
And then you and I
had just beaten the snot out of each other,
and all we want to do
was say hi to each other.
So, congrats on an amazing career.
But it was so, it was awesome.
And, yeah,
I don't know how many times
we fought,
but I don't think I landed a punch
in any of the fights, ever.
That's not true.
That's not true.
That's all that matters.
We fought a bunch of times
in, in the minors.
You were in Hartford
and, but it was always good.
I really- like people ask me, like,
I enjoyed fighting you
because I knew
we were going to have good fights
because neither, like, I.
I knew you were going to just
whatever hand I was throwing,
you were going to throw the other one.
I knew that we were going to have punch
in the face contests and,
I'm just glad you don't
punch like Tony Twist.
I wouldn't be on this podcast.
How do you stay so pretty, buddy?
My goodness,
what's going on?
And we always hoped
that you actually would punch
Reed in the mouth
and maybe knock those chompers out.
Oh, that was one of my concerns.
You had some jagged edge teeth
there, right?
So I didn't want to go near the mouth.
Right. So.
And then he's big too, so I had to like
I try to go underneath from the side
because I didn't want to hurt my hand.
Because you guys know
my hands are important when I played, duh.
So me and the puck and my goal
scoring were
important to the success
of the teams that I played for.
So I never really wanted to get hurt.
But we had a couple, you know,
we, we see a lot of people
see the ones that are in the NHL,
but geting to the NHL
and the stories
that you guys were talking about,
that's the stuff that people
almost should watch
and how hard people have to work
to get there.
And the fighting and,
whatever you have to do to get to that
next level is, is pretty-
I don't
I'm trying to think of a word
that's kind of making a make it sound-
It's a movie.
It's like an absolute
the slapshot, the kind of show,
but it doesn't do anything justice.
That's just a cool time of
what it was like. But,
I don't know how many times we fought.
I think 4 or 5.
I gotta, you know,
I don't know, post-concussion, brother.
But there was never.
But there was never.
It's what you said before.
There was never any hatred.
We both understood what we had to do.
We both, like, there was never,
I think of guys, and I always-
There's you and Eric Boulton
that I bring up is that we fought a ton,
and I can't think of a dirty play
we ever really did to each other.
Never.
Like, of all the dirty moves
that we not did,
but the things that we had to do
to get noticed.
You know, that
fight there in Saint Louis?
We were up two- sorry it was in Boston at home.
We were up 2-0,
you guys came back and made it 2-2,
I just came off and I'm like,
oh no, you jumped on.
I went on to be like,
okay, this is the moment
where I got to try
and get the crowd back. You know?
It's just
people don't understand it,
but people that understand it, get it.
And there we are,
two guys out there
punching themselves,
each other in the face.
Like,
these guys got to be a****les
and hate each other.
What's going on?
And it's like,
we would have been the first
to- actually Nasher, you, as well.
Three of us
would have been having beers, right after the game.
I think we did have beers after
the game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You tagged me with a few. Billy?
Billy,
-Everybody in the bar.
They stuck you with the bill, too, PJ?
Yeah, I gotta,
I gotta tell-
I don't really remember our interactions.
I was kind of like your dog.
And by the way,
your dog is the horniest dog
I've ever seen in my life.
I mean, he's dry humping
everything he can get his hands on,
over at the cottage.
That was like me.
I remember in Hartford,
we had a little bit of a fight.
Again, we had another one in Worcester
because I was petrified.
I'm like, I cannot fight this guy.
I will not have a head on my shoulders
if I tangle with this guy.
But,
we were all kind of cut
from the same cloth, right?
I mean, yeah, we were, not big enough.
Not fast enough, not skilled enough.
But, PJ, for you, what motivated you
to get to the National Hockey League?
Because I know you took
the long, hard road.
I never, you know,
I never
planned on ever
being in the National Hockey League.
You know,
my dream growing up
was never to play in the National Hockey League
because it was so far away.
Get a scholarship
to an American school.
That's kind of what it was growing up in
Canada, right?
We watched
Notre Dame football.
And that was glorified on TV in Canada.
And we thought at the time,
that's what we want to do
with making schools
in Canada and everything,
but it was just glorified at that time.
And that's something that
that was my dream and that was my goal.
And I just kept
pushing myself
and pushing myself
and doors kind of opened and, like, it's
it's funny, like we, you know, hearing
Reeder talk about,
you know, how he got there.
Nasher, you were
a tad more talented
than both of us combined.
Might have been a little bit.
Whoa, whoa.
You know, that's all it was.
But you still- the work thing is that,
It's hard,
for people to understand
the sacrifices and hard work
that we had to put in,
to get recognized, to get noticed.
And, we did it.
And I think the three of us,
you know, whenever
I was asked to talk about it
when I was younger,
I didn't really know
how to talk about it.
But now I heard and we're-
Listen, we're very proud of what we did.
We're very confident.
And, you know, we made it somewhere
that we never thought
we'd ever would have made it.
And how we got there, we got there.
And I'm not someone that
likes to,
ever say, you know, be proud of yourself.
But,
you know,
I heard Marty
St. Louis talk about Michael Pezzetta
who just went from the Canadiens
to the, Toronto Maple Leafs this summer.
Congrats on him
Pez is one of the last guys
to stand in that role.
But,
you know, the media
kind of didn't love the way Pezz plays
because he's a little bit more of,
he's not
the most skilled guy in the league,
which we might fall under that umbrella
Up and down winger, baby.
But he had they're like, why?
But he had they're like, why?
You know, why is Pezz in the lineup?
Why do you keep him in the lineup?
And he goes,
because he excels at something
that takes no skill.
And everyone in the media
kind of laughed like,
because they thought that
the next thing
that he was going to say was like,
he's got no skill, hahaha.
But no,
he excelled at something
that had no skill and it's work ethic.
And that's the one thing
that a lot of people don't understand,
because it's contagious
and it's it's something
I think the three of us,
we look back on our careers
and how we got there
and why we were there,
might not have been for, you know,
we weren't lighting the lamp.
Well, Nasher did. Reedd you
and I can count
our total goals on one hand, but, we.
Yeah. You know, I never planned on it.
I got there,
we're talking about it right now,
and I'm super proud
when I look back on it,
no matter how taboo it was to be fighting
or be called the physical guy
or whatever.
But, it's we're three lucky dudes.
And Mike,
you as well to be in this position.
It's a pretty cool life
that we live.
I’m in awe of you guys,
Nasher, what do you got?
Oh, I don't know.
Before Nasher goes
I just want to make sure that, you know
PJ now that
you called him talented, he's
going to cut that out.
And that's going to be his ringtone
on his cell phone from now on.
Somebody tell him they got talent.
Hey, PJ,
Hey, PJ, I know you're people.
He's the host,
so I gotta suck up a little.
Exactly.
They dropped the puck out there,
but time you and I got off the ice,
it was in a square, so.
We don't know what we were good at
and what we weren't good at.
Yes, we did.
And we also know Tyson. Yeah.
Speaking of speaking of guys, PJ, that,
any time
I got the puck from this guy,
it usually came in about five pieces.
But I want to bring them
on the show here.
I think you might have a little history
with this guy.
This year, I say.
Yeah.
He's- that's the figure skater guy.
Yeah. The figure skaters.
Oh, yeah.
Buddy!
You know, I'm 164 pounds now.
If you’re ever going to give yourself
a chance, now is the time.
Finally,
finally, someone in my weight class.
Actually, you know what’s funny?
Chaser, I, I had my in my basement.
I have, like,
we're just talking about all these cool,
things that we've got to.
And we never expect you to be there.
And one of the coolest things
that I have in my basement.
And I laugh all the time
when I look at it,
I kept my figure skates,
like, down on the bar,
but it's just kind of like,
it's like everything that you had worked
to, kind of like, it's like the ladder,
you know,
that, this, that, this, that, this, that.
And then there's like this branch
that just goes
way out.
way out of focus of figure skating.
So, hey,
you know what's crazy about that?
I told this story the other day is that,
I was walking
through the airport with my kids
when they were just young.
And you played 13 years of pro hockey?
I know exactly where you're going.
They go, oh, you're the figure skater!
Some old lady comes up,
You're like, I'm what?
And I'm like, f****** figure skater?
Jesus, I’ve played 15 years in the NHL
and that’s what it’s come to?
And you know, you know
they’ve never watched
one hockey game in their life,
but they watch Battle of the Blades.
And so they were like,
you were,
you know, and we had so much fun.
So what's the song
that you hear every time
and you think of that show?
Do you remember?
We were quoting
we had a great group
just for you guys know, we had
we had
the guys that would go out at night
was myself,
PJ, Val Bure, Russ Courtnall
Todd Warner.
So that was you know
Oh weird, you guys went out?
We went out
and we went out a lot
and we made sure
we took all the girls with us
and we made sure we paid
for them. They were getting paid nothing.
And we bought their dinners
and we just made it a great time.
The whole event was just a great time.
Hey, how come you're having trouble
getting your head in the shot?
getting your head in the shot?
I don't have my,
my head, don't even go with my head.
Your head is way bigger.
I’m trying to figure out why?
I don't know.
We know that.
We could do a pumpkin head
if we do all of this.
We put Reeders teeth on it.
Nashers nose.
My, I mean, my
I was going to say
you got the pumpkin head.
I'm good looking.
I'm a good looking motherf***er
right now.
Don’t kid yourself.
You are good.
You are good.
And you're fighting weight now.
You look good.
Jesus,
how did I get suckered into this
on a Saturday morning?
By the way, cheers.
And what are you having?
Beer and Clamato this morning?
I am not sure. It's not.
Nasher reached out,
I'm jumping on three and I'm like, s**t.
Oh, my God.
I started going through
some of our fights and I'm like,
Chaser,
I forget how much time you had
to put a little bit in the minors, right?
The minors is like a story that is
You’re in St. Louis.
Yeah, it's.
Peoria.
The minors is like a whole new world
for anybody.
It's like it's, that's a story
that has to be shown.
Well, it's an animal act,
because what it is, is it's
everybody trying to get to that.
Once you get there,
there's a couple of guys in every team
and you want to, you know,
stand your ground
and be tough with everyone.
but everybody on the show.
Everybody on the show
getting a test.
And it's just that
When you're down there, it's like,
it's just it's crazy.
And I tell this story
you you're fully aware of the
Race for Chase.
You know,
everyone talked last about it
about it.
You know, I'm with Twister
and everybody wants to make sure
they get their fight in.
So it's me instead of Twist.
They don't want to fight with Twist.
So it's a Race for Chase.
So the whole act down there was
everything was fine.
We were humming along,
winning all these games.
We ended up winning the Championship.
But they trade Twister at the deadline.
But they create twister at the deadline
And it went from like,
him calming the waters.
Where we could play 3 or 4 games
and everybody would be fine.
I think I fought in the
second part of the season,
probably
at least 25 times
from the deadline to the end of the year
because everyone was like,
okay, we'll see how tough Peoria is now.
okay, we'll see how tough Peoria is now,
You know?
And it was just like an animal act
down there, you know?
Everybody tried to kill
Everybody tried to kill Nelson.
Nelson Emerson trying to kill em.
Rob Dave, Bruce.
Dave Bruce,
I was like
I was like, yes, what?
Jesus, what?
And you know, everyone's
afraid of the big guy.
And so now he wasn't there
and it was just turned into a circus with him.
And I remember being down there at first
when we first got there
and Twister being
so damn tough and people,
there was no video of him.
So seven of his first ten fights,
he just knocked guys out.
Yeah.
Oh I’m gonna teach this rookie.
And guys that have been down there
3 or 4 or 5 years, they’d come at him.
three or 4 or 5 years, they come at them.
Bam. Good night.
Bam. Good night.
Now you were just like,
guys on our bench were like holy s**t.
And we were like yeah,
My first year,
my first year, and I get called up to New York.
I, I think Reed beat me up
three times already that year.
And now
and you're in the minors in Worcester
and you guys had Salvador.
You guys had a real tough team.
Not you did a lot of the fighting,
Not, you did a lot of the fighting,
but you guys had a real physical team.
On your name on the mayor.
Mayers, Salvador.
Yeah, yeah. Mayor.
Yeah, Mayers, Salvador.
Just a real tough team.
And then.
So finally I picked my teeth up
after Reed knocked them out,
and I get called up to New York.
Oh, this is awesome.
And I have to walk past.
We're playing Saint Louis
Blues organization that night.
So I legit I'm coming
from a Canadian University.
I there's
not all the
the outlets to know
who’s playing at the time, right?
I you didn't I, I had a magazine.
That's all that I had.
It was a magazine
in my bathroom
that my brother used
to get called Tough Guys.
And it ranked
all the tough guys in the league.
And that's all we had.
That's the bathroom,
you read the Tough Guys Magazine.
Let's be honest, it was called Penthouse.
It wasn’t Tough Guys.
Hey, watch it.
I’m just trying to ad lib here.
So I walked past
And Chaser was in it
after taking another cold shower.
another cold shower.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey,
I, I don't even know what to say
Heck, I don't even know what to say
because I gotta know
where this is going to live,
so I gotta make sure I'm watching
what I say next.
That was too easy of a joke
to follow up on.
Anyways,
I'm walking past the
Saint Louis Blues dressing room,
and there's Chase, not Chaser,
there’s
Twister outside
with no sleeves on his jersey, doing curls.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Doing curls.
They have dumbbells on the road at MSG.
And here's what I, I'm like,
what the where am I, what is this.
Oh yeah I know.
What’s going on with this organization?
Oh.
He used to do that on purpose.
He would have the sleeves cut off.
He would do a bunch of bench presses
and arm curls.
And then he would go out
in pre-game state,
and he would tape his stick on the bench
and sometimes he would go to the opponent's bench
and sit on their bench
and tape his stick.
You take a step in the morning skate.
In the morning skate.
So the other team
skating around in they’re looking
goin’ Jesus, look at this guy.
And he would do it on purpose.
And he knew he was rattling everybody.
Everybody that he
you know, it
got you know
You know, obviously, you know,
got it resonated with you too.
it resonated with you too.
But he was
he was he was something, man, I love him.
I love the guy.
And we all played with him
and against him.
and and and to talk about,
To talk about,
and and and to talk about,
a guy that was intimidating and
and he was the same damn way off the ice.
If you if you need you
If you needed,
if you needed help.
He was the first guy lined up.
And we say this all the time.
This guy's running away from the fight.
When the fights start,
there's people running.
He runs at it every time.
He runs at it every time.
And one other thing about Twister
before we go and Chaser, I've, I've.
I got this from you.
But Tony's
actually very, very intellectual.
He's a smart guy.
And chaser always,
And Chaser always,
always would say, you know, Twister,
Twister’s smart enough to run the bank.
He'd just rather rob it.
It’s true man.
Through the ice.
I mean,
if the guy had a choice between,
hey, we can go talk to this guy
and settle this.
You know what?
Let’s go wait
at his house tonight instead.
Need his house tonight instead.
That's just like,
you know, I'm going to make a point.
It's going to be well taken and received,
whether they like it or not. That's it.
But I was, you know,
Reeder, what was your most intimidating
what was your most intimidating?
You just said something about guys
going to tape sticks
Prior to.
prior to
And you guys had to fight
guys, I fought some big guys,
but not had to fight
like the guys that you guys had to fight
every night.
And I you just mentioned something
that gives me, like, PTSD, but
that gives me, like, PTSD, but
I want to know Reeders thought on this, but
the most feared night I ever had
was my first year in the NHL
No, but I want
I want - not the night,
Like, not the game,
the prior to the game.
Because, like, I, I hated when I,
the other team would come in
and stand on the glass in the morning
because I know
I'd just be looking at their tough guy
and how this guy belongs, not here.
And I'm just so nervous and I.
I couldn't feel off my stick anymore.
I couldn't
I couldn't crossover on a good day.
No need to bring it up.
Chaser about my Battle of the Blade’s skills,
but I couldn’t crossover on a good day,
and now there's Bob
Probert, there's Laroque,
there's Brashear on the glass,
there's Twister, and I just
I was just mush.
I was so intimidated,
you know, it's funny
you say that
because the very first time,
like, Probert
obviously was in your mind or whatever,
and I fought him a lot.
I'm going to be honest with you.
Like, he didn’t intimidate me.
Like, after
I fought him - like Kocur
I've seen him
I grew up with him.
I've seen him hit guys at parties
at gravel pit, and knock ‘em out,
put him in the hospital.
So I was like, I don't want it.
But I knew
I didn't have to fight with him.
The one time
where I wasn't sure
whether I would have to fight
with the guy ever in the game,
and he treated me so
well because we were both
playing in Saskatoon,
skated in the summer,
but I never knew how he was going to
react was Dave Brown.
He was the one guy where I was like,
Jesus, I hope I don't have to have this.
And Brian Sutter,
my very first game against Philadelphia,
walks up to me and he goes, “Watch that
that Brown tonight lad-o
he's tough. He throws left lad-o.”
And I'm thinking
I don't give a s*** what hand
he throws with
And I ain't going near him, like
That's what I'm thinking in my head.
I know,
and now I've got anxiety
and I'm thinking to myself.
So you talk about the anxiety
like I'm in warm ups going, Jesus
And then he just came over and he hit me
on the pads.
He goes, “good to see you up here kid.
I'm glad you're here.”
And I just frickin let the air out.
And I was like,
Thank God,
because he's the one guy
when you talk about
where he was in your head.
He was in my head so bad before the game.
And that Brian, let's be honest,
there's a lot of space in there, right?
There's a lot
you could park a car in there.
Hey, you're still there
Because I went to the finals
and you got kicked off the island twice.
First round.
Don't, don't duck you know
if we're talking about -
One of us went to the finals,
One of us didn't. Boy,
Reeder, I want to hear you
do one of your counter things.
There's no -
(aucioneer impersonation)
What? Oh, auctioneering?
Yeah, yeah, I wanna hear
Give me something before I go here.
You guys go,
I got a big day drinking on the dock.
All right?
I gotta go, I got s*** to do here.
I don't have time for you anyway.
Take your murse with ya!
Thanks Chaser
See ya Chaser
Lowzy, who is that for you?
give us a last one before we go.
I'll let you guys.
I'll let you guys roll.
You guys have fun.
Alright, Stocker, Love you buddy.
Good to see you - thanks for coming on bro.
All right.
You guys are awesome.
Now, when I hang up,
the s*** talk doesn't start, right?
Well, it doesn’t make a difference.
I don't want to get beat up again.
We can -
I know that
Nasher has a nose for this,
so don't get carried away.
I won't
Get the water wings
and get on that dock.
You put, “I love Reed Low” on your screen.
How can I do anything but love you?
How can I do anything but love you?
Cheers, boys.
Awesome to talk to ya
Yeah.
It's funny, man, those,
I wasn't expecting
to see those two bruisers.
That's that's absolutely hilarious.
That's that's absolutely hilarious.
You know, chasers, chasers of legend.
You know Chasers, Chaser’s a legend.
He should be the mayor in Saint Louis.
And, you know, I'm.
You know,
You know,
I am a third generation
auctioneer, and I do auctions.
That's what I do.
As you can see, my logo,
hockey sticks and auction gavels.
But really,
But really,
Chaser couldn't
make a charity event one night,
so Twister made me get on stage
and do it, and everyone was like,
man, that's good.
I'm like, I've never done it before.
They're like, well,
you need to do it again.
And that was ten years ago.
And so,
you know, he's he was
you know, Chaser was like just finished.
You know,
He retired and got into the radio booth
my rookie season.
And I talk to Chaser every single
before every single game.
What's going on?
Who are they?
Who are they? Who's what am I?
What should I be doing?
Like he cared about me so much
and treated me so good
all the way through my pro career.
And and then as really,
you know, the leader of our alumni, like,
if you get the opportunity
to go to a Kelly Chase party,
you're going to have a really,
really good time.
That boy knows how to have fun
and he knows how to bring the noise.
And there's not many people
that put a charity event on
and Garth Brooks shows up for.
So, he's an absolute legend.
I love the guy.
And,
lots of prayers
going towards him and getting better
and making himself healthy.
So we can have him, longer
and then, then, then anything.
But for me,
like when they were talking about
guys that are feared,
I grew up in Moose Jaw
and I also played for the Warriors.
And Jim McKenzie,
And Jim McKenzie,
who doesn't get enough credit
for being one of the toughest SOBs
to ever play the game.
He fought everybody. He knocked guys out.
He was a hard throwing lefty.
And, he'll tell you the story too.
And I kind of forgot about it.
But like the first game, like
I was obviously very aggressively
trying to get in fights,
but I didn't want to fight Jimmy.
I just
that was just something
I just did not want to do.
And the first game, he's like,
oh, man,
this kid's got all kinds of like penalty minutes
and fights.
He forgets
all about the fact that I grew up
watching him in Moose Jaw.
And so we're lined up
and I'm just like,
hey, how are you doing, man?
Good to see you, blah, blah, blah.
And I skate off
and he doesn't do anything.
I'm like, whoa, this is good.
And I never, ever fought him.
I never, ever wanted to.
But when I was a kid,
they had a little pre-skate
like a skate with the Warriors.
And my cousin and I were hanging out
like a little old line
Lyle Odelein
lived with my cousin.
So, we were hanging out down there.
Well, Jim grabs me
It was like,
let me swing you guys around.
So he grabs the bottom of my tucked skates
and he's swinging me around,
but he accidentally drops me
right on my head.
I smack my head on the ice
that I was bleeding.
Had to go get stitches.
He's like, what did I just do?
Anyways, we've had some really good
laughs at some of the fantasy camps.
He's a
and you want to talk about
like all the guys are good.
I don't care what anybody says.
Hockey players
are the most down to earth, humble guys.
And it's because we know how to act.
We know that it's not about us.
We know that,
when you're fortunate enough
to make the National Hockey League
it's a privilege.
And your job is to make sure you do
as much
for those that are coming
after you as you had,
you know, you received, coming into it.
So, good stuff. Man.
This is a lot of fun.
Great job, you guys.
This is, this is pretty cool.
I wasn't expecting this,
but this has been a fun, fun 45 minutes.
but this has been a fun, fun 45 minutes.
This has been.
It's been a riot here.
And we've had obviously
the crashers and everybody.
But you hear about,
you know, guys getting beers afterwards
right after they scrap.
Was there ever a guy
who was so friendly
Lowsey that you didn't want to fight him
just because he was such a nice guy?
No.
Not really.
Not really.
You know,
when we put hockey skates on
there's like, I have an alter ego.
There's like a different person
that goes out on the ice
than the guy that I am off the ice.
And,
so I really
I was not a very nice guy on the ice,
I chirped.
I was doing everything
I could to keep my job alive,
which means
I got to be getting into fights.
So, but again, there was
guys that I didn't
want to piss off either.
But maybe if I could skate around
and not not get caught up in it,
that'd be better.
But yeah, no, no one I really ever
you know, was overly too nice to
except for Jimmy McKenzie.
Lowzy
I love you, you know that.
Thanks for keeping me safe and alive
all those years in Saint Louis.
It was an honor to
play along beside ya, you know that.
I hope you continue to do well.
I hope you continue to do well.
I know life's going real
well for you right now.
I hope that continues.
We love ya.
I loved to bring PJ on.
I know, how tough you guys were
that was legendary, buddy.
So thanks for coming on the show, my man.
My pleasure, guys.
And, Mike, it's nice to meet you.
And, when you guys get up here this,
this year, I'll come down
for pre-game sha-,
skate and shake
your hand and give you a hug.
I'm the safest broadcaster
in America right now.
I got to do two tough guys with me here.
Nobody's going to touch me.
Thanks, Lowzy.
Appreciate ya man.
Appreciate that. Guys.
Well, Foltz, there you have it.
I apologize, buddy.
I apologize because I know you didn't
get enough time to chime in there
and ask more questions.
The boys, the fellas,
they just took over. Right?
But didn't
you feel like you were in a locker room?
I mean, Reed Low
was so surprised
law was so surprised,
First of all, the fights
that he had, right?
The shot I took from Bob Probert,
I mean, I was literally like a dog.
I was like humping Probert's leg
in that one video,
I forgot how embarrassing that was.
And Reed Low
steps in and beats
the wheels off of Aaron Downey.
And then PJ Stock, the fight they had
and then to crash him with PJ Stock.
And again Kelly Chase.
Just Chaser, I love that man to death.
But the stories that PJ Stock was telling
were just unbelievable.
I felt like I was in the locker room.
I, I would be
terrified in that locker room
with four killers all around me.
Like I'm just a media guy, right?
Like, I,
I didn't grow up fighting or playing
or anything like that,
but it reminded me of
I went to a cousin's wedding
one time and it was, a Navy Seal
who was marrying my cousin.
He had all these Navy Seal buddies
at this wedding,
and it was like the safest place
in America for a couple hours
because there were like, ten seals here.
I was the safest podcast in America
for those 40 minutes
where I had these four bruisers
all around me. But, awesome stuff.
And like we mentioned earlier,
we have Mammoth Week
continuing this week.
So, with this dropping on Wednesday,
we've got Thursday coming up in Ogden at,
Weber County Ice Sheet.
And Friday will be in Enoch
at KJ's Ice Barn from 4 to 8.
And then,
we wrap things up
Saturday in St. George.
George, 5 to 9 at, Red Rock hockey.
5 to 9 at Red Rock Hockey.
Clayton Keller,
the captain will be there,
on August 2nd.
So if you're down south in Utah,
make it out to St. George.
That'll be,
be really special, but, great.
