1
00:00:28,966 --> 00:00:31,373
And when I feel like Oscar Matthews brrrr

2
00:00:31,921 --> 00:00:32,623
Hahaha

3
00:00:36,271 --> 00:00:40,097
Oh man, that's one of those commercials
that in about a week or two is gonna start

4
00:00:40,097 --> 00:00:42,621
getting real old if it hasn't already for
you guys.

5
00:00:43,357 --> 00:00:44,629
It's on the verge.

6
00:00:45,566 --> 00:00:49,485
If I watched more things on TV than
hockey, I would definitely be tired of it.

7
00:00:50,346 --> 00:00:54,229
Yeah, and there's certain commercials that
you get tired of them and then something

8
00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:56,972
will happen and then you're okay with them
for a little bit like that.

9
00:00:56,972 --> 00:01:01,335
East side Mario's one with the dad and the
son where they do the voiceover.

10
00:01:02,116 --> 00:01:04,759
I was so I was so sick of that one.

11
00:01:04,759 --> 00:01:08,161
And then now Patrick starts reciting it
and it's actually adorable.

12
00:01:08,598 --> 00:01:09,439
Okay, that's cute.

13
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:12,883
I was gonna say I've just started getting
sick of that one again.

14
00:01:12,883 --> 00:01:15,325
Oh pop they got more soup

15
00:01:15,802 --> 00:01:19,740
Yeah, now just imagine my seven year old
walking in and saying that randomly out of

16
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:20,066
nowhere.

17
00:01:20,066 --> 00:01:20,227
Hahaha!

18
00:01:20,227 --> 00:01:21,392
But it's a reality!

19
00:01:23,454 --> 00:01:25,297
Oh my god, Patrick.

20
00:01:26,321 --> 00:01:29,347
So, how was your trip, Mr.

21
00:01:29,347 --> 00:01:30,789
National Beanographic?

22
00:01:31,075 --> 00:01:31,678
Mmm.

23
00:01:32,810 --> 00:01:34,650
Around the world in 80 beans.

24
00:01:35,646 --> 00:01:39,268
This one was just down to Appleton,
although I might be going up to none of it

25
00:01:39,268 --> 00:01:39,876
again.

26
00:01:39,876 --> 00:01:41,563
Around the world in 82 games.

27
00:01:41,563 --> 00:01:42,645
Sorry, go ahead.

28
00:01:42,987 --> 00:01:43,850
Hahaha

29
00:01:46,882 --> 00:01:52,213
No little impromptu training on the
manufacturer that we're a dealer for.

30
00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:54,377
They've got an electric fire truck coming
out.

31
00:01:54,675 --> 00:01:56,266
Ooh, that's kinda cool.

32
00:01:56,428 --> 00:01:56,658
Nice.

33
00:01:56,658 --> 00:02:01,125
Yeah, we're actually delivering one in
Ontario here.

34
00:02:01,566 --> 00:02:06,175
We should see it by the end of the summer
and hopefully deliver, or by the end of

35
00:02:06,175 --> 00:02:08,137
July, hopefully deliver in August.

36
00:02:08,358 --> 00:02:13,000
That's some pretty cool insider news for
all the listeners.

37
00:02:13,522 --> 00:02:16,405
Yeah, so it's really interesting.

38
00:02:17,248 --> 00:02:20,453
Kind of excited to be able to get my hands
on one of them.

39
00:02:20,453 --> 00:02:23,457
But at the same time, just enough training
to scale the living shit out of you,

40
00:02:23,457 --> 00:02:26,441
because 700 volts is a lot of electricity.

41
00:02:26,686 --> 00:02:31,754
Yeah, I was thinking like the amount of
battery power to be able to run all of the

42
00:02:31,754 --> 00:02:34,439
onboard stuff while also running the
truck.

43
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:36,121
That's gonna be crazy.

44
00:02:37,745 --> 00:02:38,445
Man.

45
00:02:40,702 --> 00:02:42,287
Engineering.

46
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:45,941
So is it a Tesla cyber fire truck or what?

47
00:02:47,206 --> 00:02:48,861
No, this one will be reliable.

48
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,060
No!

49
00:02:50,953 --> 00:02:53,745
What's who are you allowed to say who
makes them?

50
00:02:54,866 --> 00:02:55,849
Yeah, I can't see why not.

51
00:02:55,849 --> 00:03:01,385
So we're the dealer for Pierce
Manufacturing, which is considered the

52
00:03:01,385 --> 00:03:03,169
Cadillac of fire trucks.

53
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:05,211
Ooh, that's pretty cool.

54
00:03:06,653 --> 00:03:07,854
Oh man.

55
00:03:08,294 --> 00:03:10,116
So what should we start with here?

56
00:03:10,116 --> 00:03:10,857
It's been a while.

57
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:12,158
We missed a couple of games.

58
00:03:12,158 --> 00:03:14,540
Apologies guys, I know it's spotty.

59
00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:15,741
That's what it's like.

60
00:03:16,022 --> 00:03:18,504
All our long time fans, you know, we come
and go.

61
00:03:18,504 --> 00:03:21,147
Sometimes it's a bunch of episodes,
sometimes it's not.

62
00:03:21,147 --> 00:03:22,668
But thanks for being here anyway.

63
00:03:23,089 --> 00:03:27,092
So we had a weird, we'll call it like a
hundred shots over two games.

64
00:03:27,092 --> 00:03:28,774
We're-

65
00:03:28,778 --> 00:03:35,220
Let's start with the beginning 25 or 27
shots, depending on who you ask, from the

66
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:36,400
New Jersey game.

67
00:03:37,561 --> 00:03:38,681
The hell?

68
00:03:38,841 --> 00:03:43,483
We haven't seen the Leafs unload like this
with shots in a long time.

69
00:03:43,483 --> 00:03:45,344
It's been pretty tame this season.

70
00:03:45,464 --> 00:03:48,045
But for one period, are you joking?

71
00:03:48,045 --> 00:03:49,725
Like, what the, ooh.

72
00:03:53,002 --> 00:03:55,704
Yeah, something happened with the Devils
this year.

73
00:03:56,806 --> 00:04:04,474
I don't know if it's the loss of Dougie
Hamilton, the change of you wouldn't think

74
00:04:04,474 --> 00:04:06,816
one player would have that big of an
effect.

75
00:04:06,967 --> 00:04:09,008
Huge gold-titting issues this year too.

76
00:04:10,258 --> 00:04:11,859
Yeah, they can't catch a save.

77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:19,149
I don't know if it was entirely luck last
year or just maybe entirely bad luck this

78
00:04:19,149 --> 00:04:22,833
year that the goal tenon has just
completely gone down the toilet.

79
00:04:23,314 --> 00:04:27,039
They probably should have made, I was just
going to say they probably should have

80
00:04:27,039 --> 00:04:29,761
made the Jake Allen move maybe a month and
a half earlier.

81
00:04:30,443 --> 00:04:31,127
Yeah.

82
00:04:31,250 --> 00:04:33,291
Yeah, and it's funny going into the game.

83
00:04:33,291 --> 00:04:36,953
I was thinking like, I mean, yes, the
Leafs haven't played New Jersey this year

84
00:04:36,953 --> 00:04:41,056
But they've played Jake Allen like they
know Jake Allen better than most goalies

85
00:04:41,056 --> 00:04:45,759
in this league So this should be a little
easier if anything and holy shit.

86
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:46,520
It went the other way.

87
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,841
Jake Allen knows this team quite well

88
00:04:51,754 --> 00:04:54,298
Yeah, he had one of those games.

89
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,486
Veteran goalies can often do that for you,
right?

90
00:04:57,486 --> 00:04:59,654
Like, hell, look at Jonathan Quick this
year.

91
00:04:59,654 --> 00:05:00,514
Oh my god.

92
00:05:00,514 --> 00:05:03,557
Are we calling Jake Allen a veteran goalie
though at this point?

93
00:05:03,557 --> 00:05:04,798
Is he already there?

94
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,761
Have we gotten it?

95
00:05:06,761 --> 00:05:08,002
He's 33 already?

96
00:05:08,002 --> 00:05:09,122
My god.

97
00:05:09,784 --> 00:05:11,905
Where does- where do the years go?

98
00:05:16,050 --> 00:05:17,571
I guess he is at this point.

99
00:05:18,811 --> 00:05:20,992
Yeah, it was a weird, weird game.

100
00:05:20,992 --> 00:05:24,954
Like, I mean, it seemed like there were so
many holes on defense with New Jersey and

101
00:05:24,954 --> 00:05:28,855
the Leafs were able to take advantage of
it for a tiny bit.

102
00:05:28,855 --> 00:05:34,398
But like other than getting some shots
off, like it's, oh my God, Jake Allen just

103
00:05:34,398 --> 00:05:35,278
shut everything out.

104
00:05:35,278 --> 00:05:38,639
Like they got goalied for the first time
in a long time.

105
00:05:38,719 --> 00:05:41,280
And then from there, it just, it seemed to
go to their heads.

106
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:43,041
The team collapsed after that.

107
00:05:43,041 --> 00:05:44,261
Like they just.

108
00:05:44,398 --> 00:05:45,492
collapsed.

109
00:05:48,254 --> 00:05:53,003
I don't know how to, how do you excuse the
fact, yes there's guys out and everything,

110
00:05:53,003 --> 00:05:59,376
but that was a full team debacle, mistakes
that nobody should be making and

111
00:05:59,376 --> 00:06:00,239
everyone's making them.

112
00:06:00,239 --> 00:06:04,143
you start pressing really, really hard, if
you're getting goaltending, like you said,

113
00:06:04,884 --> 00:06:08,127
mistakes start happening and you start
getting really frustrated at yourself or

114
00:06:08,127 --> 00:06:12,030
even your line mates, and that's when
cracks start forming and stuff like that

115
00:06:12,030 --> 00:06:13,531
really happens in the game.

116
00:06:13,652 --> 00:06:17,475
Full disclosure, I didn't really watch
this game, but watching the Leafs play as

117
00:06:17,475 --> 00:06:21,499
long as I have, this is something that
they tend to fall into, not as much

118
00:06:21,499 --> 00:06:26,082
lately, thank goodness, but it seems to
happen against the Devils the other night.

119
00:06:27,882 --> 00:06:34,128
There was like a five to 10 minute stretch
in the second that it was like mid 80s all

120
00:06:34,128 --> 00:06:35,068
over again.

121
00:06:36,009 --> 00:06:39,553
Like we might as well have had Chris
Terreri and Alan Bester in that.

122
00:06:39,553 --> 00:06:44,717
Like it was just, there was no such thing
as defense and it was go, go.

123
00:06:45,504 --> 00:06:49,507
Yeah, the defense on both teams, just
absolutely abysmal.

124
00:06:49,587 --> 00:06:51,929
That last game, it was kind of fun to
watch.

125
00:06:51,929 --> 00:06:56,593
Like it reminded me and I bring this game
up a lot, but it reminded me of the other

126
00:06:56,593 --> 00:06:57,614
games against New Jersey.

127
00:06:57,614 --> 00:07:00,737
There was one like I think it was two
seasons ago at this point where it was it

128
00:07:00,737 --> 00:07:02,438
was like this just a scoring fest.

129
00:07:02,438 --> 00:07:05,261
I think the Leafs had up scoring like
seven or nine goals or something.

130
00:07:05,261 --> 00:07:08,063
But they seem to do this against New
Jersey.

131
00:07:08,063 --> 00:07:11,085
Like they're fast and they can get around
the Leafs, but.

132
00:07:11,290 --> 00:07:14,498
On the other end, the Leafs can take
advantage of the fact they have no defense

133
00:07:14,498 --> 00:07:15,140
and goaltending.

134
00:07:15,140 --> 00:07:18,969
So it's just, it's like full offense on
both sides.

135
00:07:20,606 --> 00:07:27,071
Yeah, and it was one of those really weird
games because with the Leafs getting so

136
00:07:27,071 --> 00:07:34,457
many shots right away, it was almost like
they kind of let off a little bit and

137
00:07:34,457 --> 00:07:38,920
relaxed with the thought like, hey, look
at how well we're doing, we're going to

138
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,982
railroad these guys.

139
00:07:40,982 --> 00:07:43,303
Like, we don't have to really...

140
00:07:44,245 --> 00:07:49,329
Yeah, and they kind of had that mindset
and maybe that's like I mentioned in our

141
00:07:49,329 --> 00:07:50,349
group chat,

142
00:07:50,486 --> 00:07:54,974
the comments from Keith afterwards, that
was surprising to me.

143
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:59,921
Like, yes, I'm not saying it's not
warranted, but he was not holding back.

144
00:08:00,266 --> 00:08:04,227
Well apparently he didn't hold back on the
guys in the dressing room either, like he

145
00:08:04,227 --> 00:08:10,629
gave it to you know, John and the other
captains because that's how you treat

146
00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:13,510
them, just to send a message to the rest
of the team like hey, you know, if you

147
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:14,230
don't...

148
00:08:14,350 --> 00:08:18,391
you should feel guilty that I'm screaming
at John for your mistakes so don't fuck up

149
00:08:18,391 --> 00:08:24,033
like that again, it was crazy but yeah,
no, I do agree that I was...

150
00:08:24,033 --> 00:08:24,936
no, go ahead, Suddy

151
00:08:24,936 --> 00:08:29,219
to do that because if you want to call out
like your smaller tier guys, like your

152
00:08:29,219 --> 00:08:34,962
second or third to great players, it's not
going to bring it's like effective as what

153
00:08:34,962 --> 00:08:36,883
you don't call out your top line players
to.

154
00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:39,425
So I feel Keef actually needed to do that.

155
00:08:39,425 --> 00:08:42,226
And it looked like Tavares had a great
night tonight.

156
00:08:42,226 --> 00:08:46,289
Matthews had a great night tonight,
despite not being, he was questionable

157
00:08:46,289 --> 00:08:47,069
before coming in.

158
00:08:47,069 --> 00:08:49,710
So whatever he did, it seemed to have
worked.

159
00:08:51,710 --> 00:08:54,853
Yeah, and I mean, he picked up his 59th in
the New Jersey game.

160
00:08:54,853 --> 00:08:59,337
Everybody was hoping for the 60th tonight
to break that record in 71 games, but

161
00:08:59,337 --> 00:09:00,738
unfortunately, no.

162
00:09:01,359 --> 00:09:02,760
But yeah, he still looks good.

163
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,502
He's getting as many shots as he can.

164
00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:06,203
I'm sure he finished with like 12 tonight.

165
00:09:06,203 --> 00:09:11,368
I don't know what the count was, but it's
pretty wild watching this guy try to score

166
00:09:11,368 --> 00:09:12,869
when he really wants to.

167
00:09:14,346 --> 00:09:19,095
Yeah, and he can basically do it at any
point in time, like right away to start.

168
00:09:19,537 --> 00:09:21,141
I think it was his first shift out there.

169
00:09:21,141 --> 00:09:23,605
He had a wicked backhand chance.

170
00:09:24,094 --> 00:09:26,488
Oh yeah, he almost scored right on the
first shifter, right?

171
00:09:27,302 --> 00:09:30,023
Yeah, like he's and you've seen.

172
00:09:30,023 --> 00:09:34,105
Well, I don't know if you recall this or
not, but anytime that someone is like a

173
00:09:34,105 --> 00:09:39,287
game time for an illness or being sick and
they actually play, I don't know what it

174
00:09:39,287 --> 00:09:41,148
is, but they almost seem to play better.

175
00:09:41,768 --> 00:09:43,909
Like the Michael Jordan flu game, right?

176
00:09:43,909 --> 00:09:44,629
Like.

177
00:09:45,558 --> 00:09:47,665
Well yeah, they were even saying on the
broadcast, they're like, he's probably

178
00:09:47,665 --> 00:09:49,752
going to score, because whenever you're
sick, you score.

179
00:09:49,752 --> 00:09:51,636
Like that seems to kind of be the rule.

180
00:09:52,274 --> 00:09:54,805
According to NHL.com, he had ten shots
tonight.

181
00:09:54,805 --> 00:09:55,882
My god.

182
00:09:58,454 --> 00:10:01,476
Well, I mean when the team's got 48 on the
night.

183
00:10:01,476 --> 00:10:06,919
Okay, I have to say, looking at 25 to 48
for that last like two minutes, I was

184
00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:08,360
like, guys, please get two more shots.

185
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,741
Please make this a nice even 25 to 50.

186
00:10:10,741 --> 00:10:12,522
Like don't leave me hanging on this.

187
00:10:12,522 --> 00:10:15,884
It just feels so, you're right there, just
do it.

188
00:10:15,884 --> 00:10:17,945
Just throw something on net, please.

189
00:10:18,306 --> 00:10:20,849
Well if it makes you feel better, it's
still half and half.

190
00:10:20,849 --> 00:10:24,853
Like, capitals at 24, the leafs at 48, so
it's half.

191
00:10:24,861 --> 00:10:26,051
there's evenness in there.

192
00:10:26,051 --> 00:10:27,772
it down to 24 at the end?

193
00:10:28,754 --> 00:10:29,835
Oh, see...

194
00:10:31,197 --> 00:10:36,183
At different points it was changing, like
it was 25 to 49, then it went down to like

195
00:10:36,183 --> 00:10:39,647
23 to 46, and I was like, what the fuck is
going on?

196
00:10:39,647 --> 00:10:41,649
So yeah.

197
00:10:41,649 --> 00:10:45,433
No, I'm literally talking about what was
on the broadcast!

198
00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:49,032
Kay?

199
00:10:49,578 --> 00:10:52,392
I don't, no it's Teemu now by the way.

200
00:10:52,787 --> 00:10:53,718
Oh jeez.

201
00:10:54,028 --> 00:10:54,893
Hehehehe

202
00:10:56,982 --> 00:11:03,445
Check scores like a billionaire, team-oo.

203
00:11:03,445 --> 00:11:07,308
By checking like a billionaire means not
giving a shit about how your team actually

204
00:11:07,308 --> 00:11:08,148
performs.

205
00:11:08,488 --> 00:11:09,929
So who cares about the score?

206
00:11:11,270 --> 00:11:19,074
Yeah, so tonight we had the Squashington
Napadels, again, closing out the 3-0

207
00:11:19,074 --> 00:11:20,655
series against them on the season.

208
00:11:20,655 --> 00:11:24,597
They seem to not have...

209
00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:27,474
Good time against the Leafs this year
because they've been on quite a run.

210
00:11:27,474 --> 00:11:31,401
Ovi's been hot they've been on a winning
streak since you know, I think it was

211
00:11:31,401 --> 00:11:34,151
right after the last leaf game and what?

212
00:11:34,151 --> 00:11:38,324
Yeah, last two games of playing against
the Leafs, they were lost by a combination

213
00:11:38,324 --> 00:11:40,630
of eight goals, four in each game.

214
00:11:43,122 --> 00:11:46,808
Yep, 7-3-5-1 and yeah, holy.

215
00:11:47,550 --> 00:11:48,392
What was the other one?

216
00:11:48,392 --> 00:11:49,773
Or was it just the two games?

217
00:11:51,242 --> 00:11:54,928
Well, and the capitals, they've just
announced, I think it was today or

218
00:11:54,928 --> 00:12:00,877
yesterday, that they're gonna be staying
in the DC area until 2050, at least.

219
00:12:01,118 --> 00:12:04,325
Right, right, I forgot we did.

220
00:12:06,304 --> 00:12:07,929
They were talking about moving...

221
00:12:08,815 --> 00:12:09,825
Was it Maryland?

222
00:12:09,825 --> 00:12:11,966
or something, like across the water.

223
00:12:11,966 --> 00:12:12,750
Yeah.

224
00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:17,228
Yeah, we talked about this when it was
first brought up.

225
00:12:18,449 --> 00:12:20,091
Here, yeah, let me pull it up quick.

226
00:12:20,091 --> 00:12:23,233
So the Washington Capitals currently play,
they were going to move them and it was

227
00:12:23,233 --> 00:12:28,898
this whole thing because it's a big
tourism draw.

228
00:12:29,499 --> 00:12:37,822
No, it's Washington, Capitals, yeah,
Capital One Arena is here.

229
00:12:37,822 --> 00:12:39,622
I'll do the whole share screen thing.

230
00:12:39,622 --> 00:12:40,823
We're gonna play the map game again.

231
00:12:40,823 --> 00:12:45,645
Everybody that's a long time fan of the
show knows we love the map game here.

232
00:12:46,125 --> 00:12:47,646
Here's Capital One Arena.

233
00:12:47,906 --> 00:12:50,887
But I don't know, it's actually like right
down the street from the White House,

234
00:12:50,887 --> 00:12:52,047
which is pretty cool.

235
00:12:54,449 --> 00:12:58,410
And they were gonna move it over, I think
they were talking about, I think it was

236
00:12:58,410 --> 00:12:59,471
the Potomac Yard.

237
00:12:59,471 --> 00:13:05,993
They were gonna like develop all this, or
maybe it was something here maybe.

238
00:13:07,606 --> 00:13:12,610
they were gonna develop some area that was
currently nothing and move it to the other

239
00:13:12,610 --> 00:13:13,891
side of the water.

240
00:13:14,271 --> 00:13:20,517
And everybody was quite up in arms about
it on the Washington side, because it is a

241
00:13:20,517 --> 00:13:25,241
big tourism draw to a city that doesn't
really have a ton of, like outside of the

242
00:13:25,241 --> 00:13:30,145
fact that it's Washington, DC, like
there's no sports and stuff there

243
00:13:30,145 --> 00:13:30,722
otherwise.

244
00:13:30,722 --> 00:13:35,797
of your like political tourism type of
stuff, there's not too much going on,

245
00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:37,282
because the wizards suck.

246
00:13:38,054 --> 00:13:41,843
Exactly, so they wanted to keep the team
there and I'm glad they are that's a nice

247
00:13:41,843 --> 00:13:44,209
update I did see that and thank you for
bringing that up because I totally forgot

248
00:13:44,209 --> 00:13:44,949
about it

249
00:13:46,307 --> 00:13:50,781
Speaking of that general area, you guys
see the video of that bridge in Maryland?

250
00:13:51,362 --> 00:13:53,322
Holy...

251
00:13:54,202 --> 00:14:01,504
I saw today, they are apparently referring
back to an 1851 maritime law accord that

252
00:14:01,504 --> 00:14:07,066
they used to limit the fines that the
Titanic had to pay.

253
00:14:07,446 --> 00:14:13,288
So there's like, apparently some old
maritime law thing where they limit the

254
00:14:13,288 --> 00:14:16,849
fine on the makers of the boat for
accidents like this.

255
00:14:16,849 --> 00:14:18,309
And it's like super duper old.

256
00:14:18,309 --> 00:14:20,446
And they were like, we're digging that
shit up.

257
00:14:20,446 --> 00:14:21,226
right now.

258
00:14:21,226 --> 00:14:23,007
No one's claimed it since the Titanic?

259
00:14:23,007 --> 00:14:23,928
Great.

260
00:14:24,728 --> 00:14:26,489
Some lawyers like guys?

261
00:14:27,150 --> 00:14:28,991
Maritime law, put me in.

262
00:14:29,591 --> 00:14:32,745
It's like Michael Bluth.

263
00:14:32,745 --> 00:14:38,115
deep in the caverns of this law firm, just
going through 1800 stuff.

264
00:14:38,798 --> 00:14:39,458
Love it.

265
00:14:39,458 --> 00:14:42,540
maritime law is one of those weird ones,
but they don't update it that often

266
00:14:42,540 --> 00:14:46,563
because why boats?

267
00:14:47,944 --> 00:14:48,545
My God.

268
00:14:48,545 --> 00:14:53,929
So if unfortunate, I mean, obviously very
sad that a couple of people have not been

269
00:14:53,929 --> 00:14:55,109
founded to lose their lives in that.

270
00:14:55,109 --> 00:15:00,413
It's not a laughing matter, but it is a
crazy event.

271
00:15:00,413 --> 00:15:05,597
Like just watching the video of how quick
that bridge goes down after the thing hits

272
00:15:05,597 --> 00:15:06,400
it, it's.

273
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:06,587
Mm-hmm.

274
00:15:06,587 --> 00:15:09,569
like almost instantaneous for such a
massive bridge.

275
00:15:10,462 --> 00:15:15,584
Yeah, it really goes to show you how
brilliantly they're engineered.

276
00:15:15,584 --> 00:15:20,787
The fact that there's not much to it
holding it up and you never think of it.

277
00:15:20,847 --> 00:15:26,310
The number of times we've driven over,
walked over or went under a bridge, you

278
00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:30,092
never think of what's holding it up and
how it's engineered and then that just

279
00:15:30,092 --> 00:15:32,786
shows you like, it doesn't take much.

280
00:15:32,786 --> 00:15:34,048
I mean, doesn't take much.

281
00:15:34,048 --> 00:15:37,214
Those things are basically a skyscraper
floating in the water.

282
00:15:37,435 --> 00:15:40,429
So it's not often that a building hits a
bridge.

283
00:15:40,429 --> 00:15:41,093
going in there.

284
00:15:41,093 --> 00:15:41,754
Yeah.

285
00:15:43,354 --> 00:15:45,977
Yeah, but no, I definitely see what you're
saying.

286
00:15:45,977 --> 00:15:52,064
Like it shows how fragile everything is
and just how well we design it to that

287
00:15:52,325 --> 00:15:56,149
margin of error between functioning and
about to break.

288
00:15:58,147 --> 00:16:01,829
Speaking of that, Joseph Wall at the
beginning of this game...

289
00:16:03,672 --> 00:16:05,593
A little segue there.

290
00:16:06,294 --> 00:16:08,897
Joseph Wall was brilliant in the first bit
of this game.

291
00:16:08,897 --> 00:16:11,719
The couple of saves he made really kept
this game alive.

292
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,702
Had they gone down one or two, then
totally different game.

293
00:16:17,138 --> 00:16:22,122
Entirely and he's been really so since
coming back from the injury and I know the

294
00:16:22,122 --> 00:16:27,667
team has been mediocre in front of him in
a lot of these games, but It's I don't

295
00:16:27,667 --> 00:16:31,371
know when the team's not playing well, you
do expect Your goalie to make a couple

296
00:16:31,371 --> 00:16:34,754
good saves and it's been like if they're
playing bad He lets in some squeakers and

297
00:16:34,754 --> 00:16:40,639
it's kind of a write-off for everybody So
it is nice that his confidence kind of

298
00:16:40,980 --> 00:16:42,961
exuded out to outward

299
00:16:44,862 --> 00:16:49,346
Well, and it was good hearing him talk
after the New Jersey game as well, because

300
00:16:49,346 --> 00:16:53,310
he even came out and said, like, you know,
I can't be letting in the first shot I

301
00:16:53,310 --> 00:16:54,210
face.

302
00:16:54,331 --> 00:16:58,035
Like he didn't try to sugarcoat it.

303
00:16:58,035 --> 00:16:59,416
He didn't try to make excuses.

304
00:16:59,416 --> 00:17:00,877
He called himself out.

305
00:17:01,678 --> 00:17:09,245
And for a young goaltender, that's really
enlightening to see that he...

306
00:17:09,774 --> 00:17:13,738
has the wherewithal to be able to do that
and know, okay, I've got to work on it.

307
00:17:13,738 --> 00:17:14,559
That's on me.

308
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:17,341
Let's clear it out, move on and get going.

309
00:17:17,366 --> 00:17:19,000
Yeah, in the words of Torrance.

310
00:17:20,871 --> 00:17:23,532
Yeah, I mean, and like that's what your
teammates want to hear too, because they

311
00:17:23,532 --> 00:17:26,513
obviously know it's on you, but they're
not going to call you out on that.

312
00:17:26,593 --> 00:17:31,576
But if you like get ahead of the bullet
and say, you know, this is on me, I can do

313
00:17:31,576 --> 00:17:31,916
better.

314
00:17:31,916 --> 00:17:34,037
And the next game you actually do better.

315
00:17:34,337 --> 00:17:36,778
The boys in the room, they recognize that
type of stuff.

316
00:17:40,002 --> 00:17:40,902
For sure.

317
00:17:41,102 --> 00:17:44,565
Yeah, it's one of those things, it's an
internal storyline, it's everybody's, you

318
00:17:44,565 --> 00:17:49,149
know, watching to see, not, maybe not like
actively, but it is kind of going to, in

319
00:17:49,149 --> 00:17:53,012
the player's minds, like, you know, he did
say he was going to do it, I don't know,

320
00:17:53,012 --> 00:17:56,655
let's see if he is, because otherwise, oh
no, like, we might not be as confident on

321
00:17:56,655 --> 00:17:57,075
the next night.

322
00:17:57,075 --> 00:17:59,637
Like, it is kind of that, like, you've set
a bar for yourself.

323
00:17:59,637 --> 00:18:03,260
It's like in NHL when they ask you, like,
the reporter gives you the thing and you

324
00:18:03,260 --> 00:18:06,363
can respond with like, oh yeah, I'm going
to, like, I'll be great.

325
00:18:06,363 --> 00:18:09,954
But along with that, it's like, you have
to be the first star in the next game.

326
00:18:09,954 --> 00:18:12,816
Like you can't talk all this and not
follow it up or you're gonna look like

327
00:18:12,816 --> 00:18:13,576
shit.

328
00:18:13,756 --> 00:18:15,298
So it was one of those.

329
00:18:15,298 --> 00:18:22,223
He gets the plus, he got a plus teammate
score, plus management and plus fan score.

330
00:18:23,084 --> 00:18:24,144
So well done.

331
00:18:26,706 --> 00:18:32,871
Speaking of plus on the night, am I like,
was I asleep the whole time or did I see

332
00:18:32,871 --> 00:18:36,453
Ryan Reeves win multiple races to putt?

333
00:18:36,639 --> 00:18:37,640
He did.

334
00:18:38,002 --> 00:18:39,486
He won a race.

335
00:18:39,486 --> 00:18:42,209
alive and on adrenaline tonight.

336
00:18:42,283 --> 00:18:43,623
Highlight of his game too.

337
00:18:43,784 --> 00:18:48,628
He won a race going down to the other
team's icing line and then he put the puck

338
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:51,950
behind him against the boards circled
around he looked like fucking Connor

339
00:18:51,950 --> 00:18:55,874
McDavid for a quick second I was like,
what is this guy doing and then he won out

340
00:18:55,874 --> 00:18:57,534
of the battle right after that

341
00:18:59,212 --> 00:19:03,936
So that specific player you're talking
about, he started at the blue line, got to

342
00:19:03,936 --> 00:19:09,901
the icing line, and skated past at least
three defenders.

343
00:19:09,901 --> 00:19:13,563
This is Ryan Reeves we're talking about,
right?

344
00:19:13,664 --> 00:19:14,485
It's Ryan Reeves.

345
00:19:14,485 --> 00:19:15,765
It's not McDavid.

346
00:19:15,970 --> 00:19:18,840
Someone check those braces, they might be
bionic.

347
00:19:19,843 --> 00:19:21,345
No, it was unreal.

348
00:19:22,348 --> 00:19:24,674
There was another play too where he was
cycling with Tavares.

349
00:19:24,674 --> 00:19:26,277
I was like, what is going on here?

350
00:19:26,277 --> 00:19:27,238
Like, what?

351
00:19:28,602 --> 00:19:31,925
And didn't he, he picked up an assist on,
um, what's his name?

352
00:19:31,925 --> 00:19:33,346
Connor Dewar's goal, didn't he?

353
00:19:33,346 --> 00:19:36,429
Or was he just, yeah.

354
00:19:36,429 --> 00:19:36,688
Yeah.

355
00:19:36,688 --> 00:19:39,770
be fully honest, at the beginning of the
season, I was one of his biggest

356
00:19:39,770 --> 00:19:40,390
detractors.

357
00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:44,312
I thought he would play maybe 16, 15 games
for this team and just be buried.

358
00:19:45,834 --> 00:19:48,835
Like a private suite on Robota Island.

359
00:19:49,076 --> 00:19:51,657
But it's been anything but.

360
00:19:52,038 --> 00:19:54,699
When he came back from that injury, he's
been playing really well.

361
00:19:54,699 --> 00:19:56,260
He's been limiting his mistakes.

362
00:19:56,260 --> 00:19:59,982
And for the ice time he's getting, he's
been quite effective.

363
00:20:03,194 --> 00:20:06,036
Yeah, I was in the same boat after those
first few games.

364
00:20:06,036 --> 00:20:10,019
Like he was well, he was playing well for
like four or five and then it was just a

365
00:20:10,019 --> 00:20:13,282
steep decline in those first like 16
games.

366
00:20:13,322 --> 00:20:15,604
And I was like, all right, we've seen
enough.

367
00:20:15,604 --> 00:20:16,365
That's it.

368
00:20:16,365 --> 00:20:18,406
And then he sat for a while, then he came
back.

369
00:20:18,406 --> 00:20:19,767
He looked okay, got hurt.

370
00:20:19,767 --> 00:20:20,848
And now he looks great.

371
00:20:20,848 --> 00:20:21,749
You're right.

372
00:20:21,749 --> 00:20:25,612
It's been night and day whenever we've
brought him into the lineup.

373
00:20:25,752 --> 00:20:31,417
And another one who has benefited from a
break, who I always say would benefit from

374
00:20:31,417 --> 00:20:32,182
a break.

375
00:20:32,182 --> 00:20:35,053
TJ Brody, or not sorry, not TJ Brody, Mark
Giordano.

376
00:20:37,162 --> 00:20:39,283
Like TJ Brody also benefited from a break.

377
00:20:39,283 --> 00:20:42,445
I'll say, we gotta say that from being
healthy scratched for a couple of games,

378
00:20:42,445 --> 00:20:44,426
but I'm talking about Mark Giridano here.

379
00:20:44,846 --> 00:20:48,729
Coming back from what I thought, sorry,
I'll let you go, but like I thought that

380
00:20:48,729 --> 00:20:50,690
dude was never gonna play again after that
injury.

381
00:20:50,690 --> 00:20:53,172
Like, and I don't think the Leafs thought
he was gonna play again, they picked up

382
00:20:53,172 --> 00:20:55,693
Ilya Lebushkin like 20 minutes after he
went down.

383
00:20:57,566 --> 00:20:59,246
Yeah, definitely didn't look good.

384
00:21:00,348 --> 00:21:01,969
And not to rip on the guy or anything.

385
00:21:01,969 --> 00:21:06,792
But once you get that age and you start to
get injuries like that, it's concerning

386
00:21:06,792 --> 00:21:10,454
for the longevity of the rest of your
career.

387
00:21:11,355 --> 00:21:12,696
So to see him...

388
00:21:15,858 --> 00:21:19,421
To see him come back and he wasn't a
liability out there.

389
00:21:19,421 --> 00:21:20,802
He played great.

390
00:21:21,222 --> 00:21:25,325
He looked like a young Giordano with how
many times he was at the net trying to

391
00:21:25,325 --> 00:21:26,105
score.

392
00:21:26,780 --> 00:21:28,274
Yeah, I thought even like

393
00:21:28,274 --> 00:21:30,529
throw it on net and pick up the first one.

394
00:21:30,675 --> 00:21:34,240
Even in Xan, like the amount of time the
puck was on his stick, it was on and it

395
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:34,681
was off.

396
00:21:34,681 --> 00:21:38,606
He was making quick reads, which he wasn't
doing before the injury and everything.

397
00:21:38,727 --> 00:21:42,293
And like, let's acknowledge after he
scored that first goal, the signal to his

398
00:21:42,293 --> 00:21:46,078
dad, that was pretty, you know, that, that
touched it hard a little bit.

399
00:21:48,146 --> 00:21:49,126
Yeah, that was nice.

400
00:21:49,126 --> 00:21:50,187
Totally forgot about that, too.

401
00:21:50,187 --> 00:21:50,967
Thank you.

402
00:21:51,368 --> 00:21:54,050
Yeah, he has really turned things around.

403
00:21:54,050 --> 00:21:56,631
And it's nice when you hear right before
the game.

404
00:21:56,631 --> 00:21:58,192
And I really fucking Yahoo!

405
00:21:58,192 --> 00:22:00,073
Please let me know sooner next time.

406
00:22:00,654 --> 00:22:05,557
Timothy Lillagran was out tonight along
with Riley, along with Edmondson, along

407
00:22:05,557 --> 00:22:06,158
with Marner.

408
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:11,081
So it's like, oh, you did defense might as
well just pack it in for tonight.

409
00:22:11,081 --> 00:22:16,545
But Brody and Geo really stepped it up and
McCabe to Benoit was great.

410
00:22:16,545 --> 00:22:17,965
Who else did we have out there?

411
00:22:18,387 --> 00:22:19,389
Timons.

412
00:22:19,691 --> 00:22:24,361
Everybody was playing well for being
shoved into this last minute.

413
00:22:25,634 --> 00:22:31,016
I've really, personally, I've really liked
the looks of Timmons over the last handful

414
00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:31,916
of games.

415
00:22:32,697 --> 00:22:36,779
He's looked confident with his puck
movement, he's moving his feet, he's not

416
00:22:36,779 --> 00:22:41,901
trying to do anything crazy, but he's
doing just enough that, you know, gives us

417
00:22:41,901 --> 00:22:48,444
a little bit of an edge that we haven't
had with the puck moving, maybe with

418
00:22:48,444 --> 00:22:48,704
Riley.

419
00:22:48,704 --> 00:22:52,765
Because since Riley's been back from his
suspension, he hasn't been the same.

420
00:22:53,139 --> 00:22:57,120
No, he's been struggling a little bit,
you're right.

421
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:59,921
And like in Timith's, I thought he was
making a lot of great plays tonight.

422
00:22:59,921 --> 00:23:03,942
He made one like cough up in his own zone,
but that's even like a testament to him

423
00:23:03,942 --> 00:23:08,183
having the confidence to try making these
harder plays that he can make, but he

424
00:23:08,183 --> 00:23:12,104
doesn't usually make because if the guy
makes one mistake, then he's in the press

425
00:23:12,104 --> 00:23:12,705
box again.

426
00:23:12,705 --> 00:23:16,326
So like the amount of pressure he faces
every game is incredibly tough.

427
00:23:16,326 --> 00:23:18,906
And I thought he had a great game tonight,
like he said, Biner.

428
00:23:21,130 --> 00:23:25,632
Yeah, I feel like the way I see the story
of Timmons this season is the way he got

429
00:23:25,632 --> 00:23:29,434
into the lineup in the first place is by
taking risks that were paying off.

430
00:23:29,434 --> 00:23:32,556
And then once he got into the lineup, he
continued to take those risks that stopped

431
00:23:32,556 --> 00:23:36,378
paying off and became mistakes that got
him knocked out of the lineup.

432
00:23:36,378 --> 00:23:38,339
And so it's been kind of a journey for
him.

433
00:23:38,339 --> 00:23:39,299
It seems to...

434
00:23:40,580 --> 00:23:42,021
True, forgot about that.

435
00:23:42,341 --> 00:23:48,484
But it's also been, you got to commend him
for being able to adjust to finding

436
00:23:48,484 --> 00:23:50,485
stability instead of, you know...

437
00:23:50,702 --> 00:23:54,145
constantly going for that goal, like
trying to go over the top to stay in the

438
00:23:54,145 --> 00:23:57,789
lineup and trusting that his defensive
play is gonna keep him in there and he

439
00:23:57,789 --> 00:23:58,989
doesn't have to score.

440
00:24:00,583 --> 00:24:06,665
Yeah, to your other point, I thought Geo
was, he was kind of like a rock back there

441
00:24:06,665 --> 00:24:06,906
today.

442
00:24:06,906 --> 00:24:08,987
He was comforting Presidents back there.

443
00:24:08,987 --> 00:24:10,027
He slowed everything down.

444
00:24:10,027 --> 00:24:11,808
He had really quick passes.

445
00:24:12,208 --> 00:24:16,230
And this guy won the Norris in 2019, so
although he's a little longer than Tooth

446
00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:18,451
right now, he still knows what he's doing
back there.

447
00:24:18,451 --> 00:24:20,092
He makes smart decisions.

448
00:24:20,272 --> 00:24:24,774
And maybe with a bit of time off, he's
someone we can look forward to going into

449
00:24:24,774 --> 00:24:25,774
the playoffs.

450
00:24:27,422 --> 00:24:32,003
Yeah, I mean, if anything, it's nice to
know that the depth is...

451
00:24:32,744 --> 00:24:36,385
I mean, last year it was nice to know that
we had all these extra defensemen, but

452
00:24:36,385 --> 00:24:39,366
really, Victor Mete barely played.

453
00:24:39,707 --> 00:24:40,947
Who was the other one?

454
00:24:41,447 --> 00:24:43,188
Ben barely played.

455
00:24:43,768 --> 00:24:46,870
We had a couple other ones that were just
kind of kicking around, scratched or on

456
00:24:46,870 --> 00:24:47,830
the Marlies all year.

457
00:24:47,830 --> 00:24:49,271
And this year we've seen...

458
00:24:49,331 --> 00:24:50,971
Like, yeah, they all played last year.

459
00:24:50,971 --> 00:24:54,033
I remember it was like 18 or 20 defensemen
played, but they all played like three

460
00:24:54,033 --> 00:24:54,793
games.

461
00:24:54,793 --> 00:24:55,954
This year we've seen...

462
00:24:55,954 --> 00:24:59,456
a healthy rotation of the same like nine
defensemen.

463
00:24:59,456 --> 00:25:04,801
And it seems to work like I don't find any
of them are definitely like the bottom.

464
00:25:04,801 --> 00:25:07,463
Like it seems like everything kind of
works.

465
00:25:07,463 --> 00:25:11,926
Any rotation of these guys can get you at
least a chance to win.

466
00:25:11,926 --> 00:25:16,449
So that's more comfortable going into the
playoffs than I think I was last year.

467
00:25:18,702 --> 00:25:19,242
Quantity...

468
00:25:19,242 --> 00:25:20,985
Quality over quantity.

469
00:25:22,569 --> 00:25:24,472
Even though I think we might still have a
bunch.

470
00:25:24,472 --> 00:25:25,293
Hehehe.

471
00:25:25,706 --> 00:25:27,947
Well yeah, we still do have extra.

472
00:25:29,369 --> 00:25:32,372
And it's like the group mentality type
thing, right?

473
00:25:32,372 --> 00:25:38,858
We don't have a Norris Trophy candidate
for this season, but we don't really have,

474
00:25:39,259 --> 00:25:42,741
it's not like we have two or three guys
that should really still be in the AHL.

475
00:25:43,358 --> 00:25:45,179
No, it's by committee and that's okay.

476
00:25:45,179 --> 00:25:47,041
I think that's kind of what the Leafs
need.

477
00:25:47,722 --> 00:25:49,183
I just, yeah.

478
00:25:49,183 --> 00:25:51,205
I think Edmundson will be a good addition
there.

479
00:25:51,205 --> 00:25:55,231
That's the one that I'm kind of waiting to
see more from in the playoffs.

480
00:25:55,231 --> 00:25:56,478
ported edition.

481
00:25:58,582 --> 00:26:01,229
Who do you want to see him play with, game
one?

482
00:26:04,722 --> 00:26:09,029
Um, realistically to me, do we try him
with Riley?

483
00:26:09,611 --> 00:26:13,036
That's kind of what I was thinking too,
like someone who's so reliable, he has a

484
00:26:13,036 --> 00:26:18,344
cup, he's super nasty in front of the net
so he can cover for Riley's deficiencies,

485
00:26:18,445 --> 00:26:19,846
which he's had lately.

486
00:26:20,168 --> 00:26:22,330
Yeah, that's who I would like to see him
with.

487
00:26:24,782 --> 00:26:25,782
I don't hate it.

488
00:26:26,283 --> 00:26:29,685
Actually, this is a good time to pull on a
question.

489
00:26:30,686 --> 00:26:34,208
Actually, before question, shout out to
Bonito the Basset Hound.

490
00:26:34,208 --> 00:26:35,569
I said I was going to give you a shout
out.

491
00:26:35,569 --> 00:26:36,869
You gave us one.

492
00:26:37,490 --> 00:26:39,131
Thank you for the love and listening to
the show.

493
00:26:39,131 --> 00:26:40,872
I forgot to say in the last episode.

494
00:26:41,773 --> 00:26:48,037
But Southpawcal, fun guy, does Geo or
Brody make the playoff lineup?

495
00:26:48,398 --> 00:26:52,100
I don't know if that's an either or a both
or one or.

496
00:26:52,501 --> 00:26:53,141
What do you think?

497
00:26:53,141 --> 00:26:53,823
Game one.

498
00:26:53,823 --> 00:26:56,867
is going to make day one lineup, but
you're also going to see Geo win there at

499
00:26:56,867 --> 00:26:58,148
some point for sure.

500
00:26:58,148 --> 00:27:00,830
They will both be in the playoff lineup at
some point.

501
00:27:01,278 --> 00:27:05,448
Okay, so if everyone's healthy, what are
your three pairs for game one?

502
00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:07,493
Riley Edmondson.

503
00:27:08,927 --> 00:27:09,907
You go ahead, Peter.

504
00:27:09,907 --> 00:27:19,329
Edmondson, McKay, Benoit, and then the
third pair, I guess.

505
00:27:21,014 --> 00:27:22,479
Brody Labushkin?

506
00:27:22,503 --> 00:27:24,653
All of that pairing scares the shit out of
me.

507
00:27:27,312 --> 00:27:27,956
Ugh.

508
00:27:28,125 --> 00:27:29,179
Yeah?

509
00:27:32,011 --> 00:27:32,731
What do you think, Johnny?

510
00:27:32,731 --> 00:27:41,213
I mean, I would go Riley, the Bushkin
scares me, but at least they know.

511
00:27:44,498 --> 00:27:57,713
If you go Riley Edmondson and then McCabe
with Lebushkin and then Benoit with Brody

512
00:27:58,827 --> 00:27:59,776
That's mine.

513
00:27:59,776 --> 00:28:00,943
That's what I would do.

514
00:28:01,830 --> 00:28:04,378
See, I also think it depends on who
they're playing.

515
00:28:05,544 --> 00:28:07,289
As silly as that sounds.

516
00:28:07,323 --> 00:28:09,210
No, it's not silly at all, I don't think.

517
00:28:10,370 --> 00:28:14,356
But I think we all agree that those are
the six that you're starting in game one.

518
00:28:14,637 --> 00:28:19,985
I think then your extras are Geo, Timmons,
and Lilligrin.

519
00:28:20,802 --> 00:28:26,166
Yeah, I have a big heart on for Benoit
this year though.

520
00:28:26,166 --> 00:28:27,267
I love the guy.

521
00:28:27,707 --> 00:28:33,431
So I'm adding him in and realistically
he's probably not going to be on the

522
00:28:33,431 --> 00:28:37,453
opening night lineup assuming everyone's
healthy.

523
00:28:38,910 --> 00:28:41,060
Yeah, because we did leave Lilligran out
of this.

524
00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:44,112
It's funny, it's one of those guys, he's
hurt for the night and it's like, oh shit.

525
00:28:44,210 --> 00:28:45,813
Keith loves Lilygrain though.

526
00:28:45,813 --> 00:28:49,257
Like if I can, do you take out Lebushkin
for him?

527
00:28:49,257 --> 00:28:51,179
That's a tough one, I don't know.

528
00:28:52,041 --> 00:28:53,516
Like you said, depends who you play.

529
00:28:53,516 --> 00:28:54,436
lets you.

530
00:28:54,758 --> 00:28:55,935
Yeah, it does.

531
00:28:55,935 --> 00:28:56,977
You don't think so?

532
00:28:57,060 --> 00:29:00,774
I think management likes, I think they
like Lily.

533
00:29:01,626 --> 00:29:05,166
I do too, I just don't think they like you
pulling a little bushkin out after they

534
00:29:05,166 --> 00:29:06,209
spent on him.

535
00:29:08,088 --> 00:29:08,329
Yeah.

536
00:29:08,329 --> 00:29:09,950
You're not taking Edmondson out.

537
00:29:09,950 --> 00:29:11,812
You're definitely not taking Benoit out.

538
00:29:12,213 --> 00:29:13,754
You're not taking Riley out.

539
00:29:14,090 --> 00:29:17,212
I think that's the thing is it's Benoit or
Lilligran, unfortunately.

540
00:29:17,212 --> 00:29:20,813
Like, I don't agree with that, but I think
that's what it might come down to.

541
00:29:20,813 --> 00:29:24,215
But we'll see how, if Lilligran's just out
with an illness, it's whatever, like we're

542
00:29:24,215 --> 00:29:28,937
gonna, they're probably all healthy in 10
games from now.

543
00:29:28,937 --> 00:29:29,917
Oh, is it?

544
00:29:29,917 --> 00:29:30,637
Shit.

545
00:29:31,071 --> 00:29:32,797
That's that's what I read.

546
00:29:32,797 --> 00:29:34,024
Riley was upper body injury.

547
00:29:34,024 --> 00:29:35,978
I think Lily was illness.

548
00:29:35,978 --> 00:29:36,865
What happened to Riley?

549
00:29:36,865 --> 00:29:38,152
I feel like I missed that.

550
00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:42,112
Yeah, I don't really recall anything
specific happening either.

551
00:29:42,590 --> 00:29:43,990
Yeah, oh well.

552
00:29:44,811 --> 00:29:49,034
So, I mean, I feel better about the D than
I did, like, I don't know, three, four

553
00:29:49,034 --> 00:29:53,437
months ago, now that we've discovered this
Diamond of the Rough in Benoit, it makes

554
00:29:53,437 --> 00:29:54,497
me feel a lot better.

555
00:29:54,497 --> 00:29:59,961
Like, there was kind of a hole there on
the, he plays on the right, but, meh,

556
00:29:59,961 --> 00:30:01,301
still left-handed, isn't he?

557
00:30:02,602 --> 00:30:09,343
Yeah, Benoit's still left-handed, but I
just like, I like the steadiness that he

558
00:30:09,343 --> 00:30:15,265
brings and he's come in all year and been
great for us back there with the, like

559
00:30:15,265 --> 00:30:19,786
he's not gonna be creating massive,
amazing breakout passes.

560
00:30:19,786 --> 00:30:23,367
Like that's something Brody's done well
over the last little while, I think, that

561
00:30:23,367 --> 00:30:29,329
he wasn't doing to start the year, is he's
always had that good, you know, exit pass

562
00:30:29,329 --> 00:30:32,489
out of the zone or the crazy,

563
00:30:33,066 --> 00:30:37,103
pass from beside his net to the opposing
blue line to Willie streaking in for a

564
00:30:37,103 --> 00:30:39,029
breakaway like Brody's good at that.

565
00:30:39,030 --> 00:30:40,590
That's something I missed from Muzzin.

566
00:30:40,590 --> 00:30:43,152
He was really good at just those hail
Marys.

567
00:30:43,152 --> 00:30:46,093
Like finds Marner on the other side of the
rink.

568
00:30:46,093 --> 00:30:48,735
Like, ugh.

569
00:30:48,735 --> 00:30:49,895
Yeah, we missed that.

570
00:30:51,736 --> 00:30:55,939
But since the two games, like I said, that
he was scratched, Brody has definitely

571
00:30:55,939 --> 00:30:59,200
come back a lot better, more confident.

572
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,841
I think any of these guys are gonna
benefit from.

573
00:31:01,982 --> 00:31:07,407
a break like fuck it's such a long season
we're on 71 games at this point like give

574
00:31:07,407 --> 00:31:13,092
the guys a second to just like collect
themselves and reset and you know you get

575
00:31:13,092 --> 00:31:17,356
into a routine after a while we all do in
something that long even if it's hockey

576
00:31:17,356 --> 00:31:23,401
games so break it and just have them
reflect and it's usually a better outcome

577
00:31:23,401 --> 00:31:24,021
here.

578
00:31:25,946 --> 00:31:26,609
Oh

579
00:31:28,938 --> 00:31:35,702
So, Bertuzzi, who again, I keep saying
this, I was, I gotta eat my words on this

580
00:31:35,702 --> 00:31:35,862
one.

581
00:31:35,862 --> 00:31:41,747
I said, unless he turns it on and, you
know, end of March, I don't see any way

582
00:31:41,747 --> 00:31:46,310
that this is gonna make sense as a trade,
but here we are.

583
00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:48,932
It's the end of March and he has finally
turned it on.

584
00:31:48,932 --> 00:31:56,737
In the last 15 games, he's got 11 goals
after scoring only seven in his first 55.

585
00:31:56,737 --> 00:31:57,437
That's.

586
00:31:57,990 --> 00:31:59,351
This showed a shooting percentage.

587
00:31:59,351 --> 00:32:05,375
It was like 6.6 through his first 55 games
and now it's 33 in the last 15 Like this

588
00:32:05,375 --> 00:32:09,957
dude figured it out Only took three
quarters of the season

589
00:32:10,516 --> 00:32:16,040
well, we talked about it all year too,
like, okay, yes, we expected more, but you

590
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,724
know, I'm not 100% concerned because he's
there.

591
00:32:19,724 --> 00:32:20,424
He's right there.

592
00:32:20,424 --> 00:32:21,946
How many times does he snake bit?

593
00:32:21,946 --> 00:32:26,089
Like we were joking that he needs to put
more stick more tape on his stick because

594
00:32:26,089 --> 00:32:29,312
it keeps hitting his blade and he can't,
you know, slow it down enough to tip it

595
00:32:29,312 --> 00:32:29,972
in.

596
00:32:30,213 --> 00:32:31,119
Like he's been

597
00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:34,581
on the sticker, hey, did you see that?

598
00:32:34,581 --> 00:32:39,986
His new one, okay, so this is, they showed
the evolution of his stick before the game

599
00:32:39,986 --> 00:32:41,227
against New Jersey.

600
00:32:41,227 --> 00:32:44,710
And he's got that full, whatever the
sticker is, that goes over the full blade

601
00:32:44,710 --> 00:32:45,670
of the stick.

602
00:32:45,891 --> 00:32:48,713
And he was rocking that for a month or so.

603
00:32:48,713 --> 00:32:55,939
And now he's covered the entire front
third of his stick just in a shit ton of

604
00:32:55,939 --> 00:32:58,761
tape on top of the sticker.

605
00:33:00,342 --> 00:33:06,286
So he took our advice because you're
getting these hard passes from Marner and

606
00:33:06,286 --> 00:33:11,911
Matthews that if you don't have tape on
your stick, you've got to be absolutely

607
00:33:11,911 --> 00:33:17,055
perfect and have the fastest hands in the
league to be able to corral that.

608
00:33:17,055 --> 00:33:20,037
So hey, maybe he listens.

609
00:33:22,210 --> 00:33:26,492
I mean, it's a bit of he figured out what
he needed to do and a bit of he's just a

610
00:33:26,492 --> 00:33:30,595
troll and likes to say whenever someone is
like, oh, you don't have any tape on your

611
00:33:30,595 --> 00:33:31,475
stick.

612
00:33:31,475 --> 00:33:33,736
Actually, here's all of it.

613
00:33:33,736 --> 00:33:34,697
I'll put more on.

614
00:33:34,697 --> 00:33:37,679
Every time someone tells me I don't have
enough tape, I gotta put another piece of

615
00:33:37,679 --> 00:33:39,660
tape on the end of my stick.

616
00:33:40,681 --> 00:33:42,511
Like, he's just such a troll.

617
00:33:42,511 --> 00:33:45,533
did you guys see that pass that Nylander
got?

618
00:33:46,354 --> 00:33:48,896
The one like, Lubushkin sent him off on?

619
00:33:49,477 --> 00:33:53,620
He caught it on his backhand not looking,
so he was all just feel.

620
00:33:53,620 --> 00:33:56,022
As soon as it hit his backhand, he
corralled it.

621
00:33:56,082 --> 00:33:59,404
That's one of the most insane things I've
ever seen the player do.

622
00:34:00,025 --> 00:34:02,547
That is so, so hard to do.

623
00:34:03,588 --> 00:34:05,549
Like incredibly hard to do.

624
00:34:05,675 --> 00:34:06,540
fuck, I gotta find that.

625
00:34:06,540 --> 00:34:07,806
I was in and out of this one.

626
00:34:07,806 --> 00:34:09,869
the opponent's blue line too.

627
00:34:11,559 --> 00:34:14,365
The degree of difficulty on that dive is
insane.

628
00:34:20,026 --> 00:34:23,468
Oh man, there's been some nice plays and
nice goals the last little bit, even

629
00:34:23,468 --> 00:34:27,991
though play has been overall up and down,
I would say, in the last week and a half,

630
00:34:27,991 --> 00:34:31,643
but hopefully with everybody healthy and
like, look...

631
00:34:31,643 --> 00:34:35,610
off the wild card, but like they're pretty
saddled into third place where they are

632
00:34:35,610 --> 00:34:36,011
right now.

633
00:34:36,011 --> 00:34:40,017
So it's a tough sell for the guys.

634
00:34:42,018 --> 00:34:44,338
They've been finding off a lot of wild
card teams lately.

635
00:34:44,338 --> 00:34:48,199
Like that's kind of been their schedule is
everybody that's sitting on the edge

636
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:53,741
there, like between New Jersey and
Carolina and Washington and like, it's

637
00:34:53,741 --> 00:34:56,882
just been all these teams and then we're
now we're going to face Tampa.

638
00:34:56,882 --> 00:34:57,842
Like it's.

639
00:34:58,463 --> 00:35:03,044
It's not a nice end of the season and
these guys are tired and there's this flu

640
00:35:03,044 --> 00:35:07,105
that is still ripping through the team
that they are never going to say is COVID,

641
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:07,765
but

642
00:35:08,966 --> 00:35:14,652
Yeah, so it's a tough time and I'm glad
they're managing to pull out some big wins

643
00:35:14,652 --> 00:35:14,953
like this.

644
00:35:14,953 --> 00:35:18,036
Like the ones that they have, they've been
scoring a shit ton of goals in.

645
00:35:18,036 --> 00:35:25,085
But yeah, the ones on the other side have
looked real stanky, but hey, tis the game

646
00:35:25,085 --> 00:35:25,985
of hockey.

647
00:35:26,494 --> 00:35:28,381
As of right now, we'd play Florida.

648
00:35:28,833 --> 00:35:29,206
Yeah.

649
00:35:29,206 --> 00:35:30,370
you...

650
00:35:30,370 --> 00:35:31,655
nevermind, not even asking that question.

651
00:35:31,655 --> 00:35:32,439
I fucking hate it.

652
00:35:32,439 --> 00:35:37,950
do we have we got to have the conversation
like people have been talking about you

653
00:35:37,950 --> 00:35:43,414
know is it worth it to fall into the wild
card spot like to play

654
00:35:43,414 --> 00:35:43,756
do that.

655
00:35:43,756 --> 00:35:44,981
That's so stupid.

656
00:35:46,654 --> 00:35:51,164
So not intentionally, I guess, then let's
talk about it this way.

657
00:35:51,164 --> 00:35:55,815
Would you feel better about the opponent
if the Leafs were in the wild card spot

658
00:35:55,815 --> 00:35:57,377
than if they're in third place?

659
00:35:57,846 --> 00:36:03,328
So if we fall down to wild card one, we
play the winner of our division anyways at

660
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:04,209
this point.

661
00:36:05,826 --> 00:36:09,009
Because as of right now the Rangers are
first so they would have the second wild

662
00:36:09,009 --> 00:36:15,776
card so it would be the Rangers versus
Capitals, the Bruins versus the Lightning,

663
00:36:16,257 --> 00:36:19,621
and then us versus Florida and Hurricanes
versus Flyers if the playoffs started

664
00:36:19,621 --> 00:36:20,341
today.

665
00:36:20,502 --> 00:36:24,520
And if I be quite honest, I'd rather play
Florida.

666
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,161
Yeah.

667
00:36:28,306 --> 00:36:32,359
Yeah, you'd take Florida over, you know,
Carolina.

668
00:36:32,359 --> 00:36:33,402
I wouldn't want to play Carolina.

669
00:36:33,402 --> 00:36:34,785
I think they're probably going to go to
the end.

670
00:36:34,785 --> 00:36:38,553
is, I think it's really between Boston and
Florida at this point.

671
00:36:40,566 --> 00:36:45,870
Well, so Carolina and Boston are tied at
99 points right now, the Rangers have 100.

672
00:36:45,870 --> 00:36:47,532
and Carolina's been surging quite a bit.

673
00:36:47,532 --> 00:36:48,313
Wow.

674
00:36:49,595 --> 00:36:51,237
I hadn't quite realized that.

675
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:54,121
Yeah, that's fair.

676
00:36:56,166 --> 00:37:03,351
If Toronto fell to the wild card and the
Atlantic winner ended up winning the

677
00:37:03,351 --> 00:37:10,115
conference, then we would play the first
place team in the Metro, which at this

678
00:37:10,115 --> 00:37:13,537
point is only a one point difference
between the Rangers and the Hurricanes.

679
00:37:17,314 --> 00:37:21,638
They've only lost, what's this, one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

680
00:37:21,639 --> 00:37:22,420
nine.

681
00:37:22,420 --> 00:37:27,185
They've lost like two of their last nine
games, I think.

682
00:37:27,646 --> 00:37:28,847
Maybe one?

683
00:37:28,907 --> 00:37:30,068
One of their last?

684
00:37:30,249 --> 00:37:30,969
Yeah.

685
00:37:31,754 --> 00:37:34,153
Yeah, there's seven, two, and one in the
last ten.

686
00:37:34,190 --> 00:37:35,250
Jesus.

687
00:37:36,832 --> 00:37:39,914
They just shut out the Red Wings for
nothing too.

688
00:37:40,455 --> 00:37:41,575
Holy.

689
00:37:41,576 --> 00:37:46,820
Yeah, I would rather play Florida just
because the, I don't know, revenge for

690
00:37:46,820 --> 00:37:51,243
last year after the, I know Radko Gudis
isn't there anymore, but oh my God.

691
00:37:51,404 --> 00:37:53,906
Joseph Wall needs his revenge on this
team.

692
00:37:54,206 --> 00:37:55,607
And everybody does.

693
00:37:55,607 --> 00:38:02,433
And I think we know what we're gonna get
out of them and kind of built the team to

694
00:38:02,433 --> 00:38:03,274
face.

695
00:38:03,274 --> 00:38:05,079
Florida again, in a way.

696
00:38:05,928 --> 00:38:06,659
Yeah.

697
00:38:09,114 --> 00:38:17,156
At this point, I'm honestly not, like I'm
not gonna say I'm not concerned, but I

698
00:38:17,156 --> 00:38:23,579
wouldn't favor any of the three other
Atlantic teams in the first round over any

699
00:38:23,579 --> 00:38:24,679
of the other ones.

700
00:38:26,140 --> 00:38:31,806
Like Tampa, okay, we finally beat them
last year, but they've now got.

701
00:38:31,806 --> 00:38:36,731
Vasilevsky who isn't drained from playing
an entire season and Kuturov looks like

702
00:38:36,731 --> 00:38:41,764
he's adding another trophy to his cabinet
Florida's

703
00:38:41,764 --> 00:38:46,431
of nowhere is just still on top even
though they lost their top guys like

704
00:38:46,431 --> 00:38:49,795
Marshawn gets better every year even
though he's fucking 35.

705
00:38:50,934 --> 00:38:56,038
See that would be the only team that
might, I might wanna lean towards, but yet

706
00:38:56,038 --> 00:39:01,042
again that could be just the fact that in
my head every single summer, it's okay

707
00:39:01,042 --> 00:39:02,743
this is the year the Bruins are gonna fall
off.

708
00:39:02,743 --> 00:39:05,919
This is the year the Bruins are gonna fall
off and they never fricking do.

709
00:39:05,919 --> 00:39:09,881
If they didn't get Swainman and Allmark,
this would be a completely different

710
00:39:09,881 --> 00:39:14,703
story, but they somehow locked into the
most important position and two of the

711
00:39:14,703 --> 00:39:15,844
best of them.

712
00:39:15,844 --> 00:39:19,866
So it really helps solidify any holes you
have.

713
00:39:19,866 --> 00:39:22,888
Like it gives you time to figure out what
your problems are and fix them.

714
00:39:22,888 --> 00:39:24,208
And they've done a really good job of
that.

715
00:39:24,208 --> 00:39:26,652
Did we lose?

716
00:39:26,652 --> 00:39:27,293
have.

717
00:39:31,155 --> 00:39:35,620
Yeah, we lost Saudi for a sec, but he's
coming back in Uh, so yeah, I don't I

718
00:39:35,620 --> 00:39:38,483
don't love the idea of facing the Bruins
just because of the goal-tending but I

719
00:39:38,483 --> 00:39:43,749
think elsewhere they're definitely a
beatable team, but We'll see how we do

720
00:39:43,749 --> 00:39:47,693
against the fucking panthers in these the
next two games in the next few weeks

721
00:39:48,466 --> 00:39:53,691
If I had to choose, to be completely
honest, I would probably choose either the

722
00:39:53,691 --> 00:39:55,092
Lightning or the Bruins.

723
00:39:56,333 --> 00:39:59,135
I really don't trust K'Chuck and Cousins.

724
00:40:00,097 --> 00:40:04,561
Like, to me they're the type of players
that if you're up in a game they're

725
00:40:04,561 --> 00:40:05,222
gonna...

726
00:40:05,222 --> 00:40:08,885
Like look at K'Chuck falling down with his
skate in the air towards a guy's leg the

727
00:40:08,885 --> 00:40:09,705
other night.

728
00:40:10,290 --> 00:40:11,232
Yeah, that's true.

729
00:40:11,232 --> 00:40:12,413
They are a little...

730
00:40:12,554 --> 00:40:15,901
They're dirty enough that you don't want
to, if you do beat them, like, be

731
00:40:15,901 --> 00:40:18,525
completely ruined for the second round.

732
00:40:19,006 --> 00:40:23,589
Yeah, I'm not saying that the Bruins don't
have those type of players, like I can't

733
00:40:23,589 --> 00:40:29,913
stand Marsha, but I almost feel like he
has a little bit of respect for other

734
00:40:29,913 --> 00:40:31,273
players in the league.

735
00:40:32,534 --> 00:40:38,677
No, the way that the Bruins are The way
that the Bruins are rough is different

736
00:40:38,677 --> 00:40:44,099
than the way that the Panthers are dirty
like the Bruins are like classic like

737
00:40:44,099 --> 00:40:49,621
hockey dirty and the Panthers are like
Dangerous and bullshit and manipulative

738
00:40:49,621 --> 00:40:56,724
dirty like they're just a pain in the ass
to play against So Yeah, I have to agree.

739
00:40:56,724 --> 00:41:00,602
I think it's gonna be rough

740
00:41:00,602 --> 00:41:03,164
if they play the Panthers, but it's
looking that way.

741
00:41:03,164 --> 00:41:06,467
Okay.

742
00:41:06,467 --> 00:41:13,272
Last thing I wanted to touch on here, some
strange news came out yesterday that

743
00:41:13,773 --> 00:41:19,317
Deacon Sports and Entertainment Group that
owns Trois Rivières Lions and the

744
00:41:19,317 --> 00:41:27,464
Newfoundland Growlers are a little, how do
I put this, Arizona Coyoteing their way

745
00:41:27,785 --> 00:41:29,110
into bankruptcy?

746
00:41:29,110 --> 00:41:30,990
They haven't been paying rent.

747
00:41:31,150 --> 00:41:35,472
So, Tuahui Viejo was like, you owe, I've
seen two numbers.

748
00:41:35,472 --> 00:41:37,873
I've seen $600,000 and I've seen a
million.

749
00:41:37,873 --> 00:41:39,354
That might be Canada and US.

750
00:41:39,354 --> 00:41:43,215
I don't think the exchange rate was that
bad, but that might be a million Canadian

751
00:41:43,215 --> 00:41:44,796
that they're looking for.

752
00:41:45,136 --> 00:41:50,638
But yeah, they're back on a lot of rent
owed and the Newfoundland Growlers get

753
00:41:50,638 --> 00:41:53,580
dragged into this because they're owned by
the same person.

754
00:41:53,580 --> 00:41:57,641
Because I guess in the ECHL, you can own
two teams.

755
00:41:57,641 --> 00:41:58,601
That seems.

756
00:41:59,199 --> 00:42:00,324
Strange.

757
00:42:00,754 --> 00:42:02,036
It seems very weird.

758
00:42:02,036 --> 00:42:06,505
When I first heard it, I was, I had
initially thought, well, what, like, MLSC

759
00:42:06,505 --> 00:42:09,010
doesn't have any shortage of money, what
the hell's going on?

760
00:42:09,010 --> 00:42:11,098
But apparently MLSC doesn't own them.

761
00:42:11,098 --> 00:42:14,541
Yeah, this took a bit of reading to make
sense of it too.

762
00:42:14,541 --> 00:42:20,265
So the only thing I've seen since is that
Newfoundland is looking to find someone to

763
00:42:20,265 --> 00:42:24,149
buy the team, but they've been given a
deadline of April 2nd, which I mean, as

764
00:42:24,149 --> 00:42:26,590
I'm recording this, it's March 28th.

765
00:42:26,591 --> 00:42:29,313
That's, you know, I think it's Tuesday.

766
00:42:29,313 --> 00:42:32,456
They have a Board of Governors meeting
that they have to have sold the team by.

767
00:42:32,456 --> 00:42:34,517
And this news broke yesterday.

768
00:42:34,538 --> 00:42:37,801
So they gave them less than seven days to
sell the team.

769
00:42:37,801 --> 00:42:39,301
That's pretty crazy.

770
00:42:39,658 --> 00:42:42,979
Like I know it's not a billion dollar team
we're talking about here, but still you

771
00:42:42,979 --> 00:42:49,002
need somebody that's willing to cough up
money for a team that's not a guaranteed

772
00:42:49,063 --> 00:42:49,803
profit, right?

773
00:42:49,803 --> 00:42:54,506
Like you got to really work to make your
money on these kinds of leagues.

774
00:42:54,506 --> 00:43:00,569
So it's crazy because we're getting to the
end of the season and if nobody buys these

775
00:43:00,569 --> 00:43:03,431
and the league has to take over them, like
they're talking about potentially having

776
00:43:03,431 --> 00:43:08,513
to fold these teams mid season and that's
it's

777
00:43:09,090 --> 00:43:12,132
abysmal for the players and the community.

778
00:43:12,132 --> 00:43:16,596
And I was out in Newfoundland and the
arena is massive.

779
00:43:16,596 --> 00:43:18,037
Everybody loves going to the games.

780
00:43:18,037 --> 00:43:23,002
There's bars connected to the arena right
outside that everybody's watching the game

781
00:43:23,002 --> 00:43:24,203
at if they're not in the arena.

782
00:43:24,203 --> 00:43:25,744
It's a big deal there.

783
00:43:25,744 --> 00:43:28,186
There's a Leafs ECHL affiliate.

784
00:43:28,186 --> 00:43:32,489
We've got guys playing there that we need
to play games.

785
00:43:32,670 --> 00:43:37,066
And while we've been on the side, this is
like an entire team of guys that...

786
00:43:37,066 --> 00:43:38,548
have been working towards the playoffs.

787
00:43:38,548 --> 00:43:39,650
These are important games for them.

788
00:43:39,650 --> 00:43:44,337
And for this to just fold like weeks
before the playoffs, it's crazy.

789
00:43:46,178 --> 00:43:46,711
Yeah.

790
00:43:46,711 --> 00:43:48,733
really, really super weird.

791
00:43:49,175 --> 00:43:56,025
And like with, with how the team, like for
all intents and purposes from everything

792
00:43:56,025 --> 00:44:00,953
I've seen, it's been a success having the
Growlers as the ECHL affiliate for the

793
00:44:00,953 --> 00:44:01,713
Leafs.

794
00:44:03,274 --> 00:44:04,781
Yeah, like I said.

795
00:44:04,781 --> 00:44:05,644
have come through there.

796
00:44:05,644 --> 00:44:07,929
If I remember correctly, I believe
McMahon.

797
00:44:08,057 --> 00:44:09,217
Did you go through there?

798
00:44:10,334 --> 00:44:11,034
Yeah.

799
00:44:12,295 --> 00:44:18,741
And somebody else just got signed off of
there.

800
00:44:18,741 --> 00:44:19,515
I saw.

801
00:44:19,515 --> 00:44:20,776
like mid season.

802
00:44:20,971 --> 00:44:21,786
Thank you.

803
00:44:23,606 --> 00:44:24,652
Well, I'm done.

804
00:44:24,791 --> 00:44:26,292
it's really interesting.

805
00:44:28,174 --> 00:44:31,476
It would completely suck for that to
happen.

806
00:44:33,058 --> 00:44:39,064
With that short of a deadline, you wonder
if maybe does MLSE step in and just buy

807
00:44:39,064 --> 00:44:41,065
them and go from there, right?

808
00:44:41,598 --> 00:44:43,980
I mean, that would make the most sense, I
think.

809
00:44:43,980 --> 00:44:47,424
I don't know if they've approached them
about it or if they've even considered

810
00:44:47,424 --> 00:44:47,805
MLSE.

811
00:44:47,805 --> 00:44:56,153
Like, really, like, do they need, oh,
Timothy Lilligan played there?

812
00:44:56,525 --> 00:44:57,247
No.

813
00:44:58,690 --> 00:45:00,631
That's cool.

814
00:45:00,631 --> 00:45:04,695
They need this as like a second farm
system, right?

815
00:45:04,695 --> 00:45:06,356
Like Bobby McMahon came through there.

816
00:45:06,356 --> 00:45:07,256
Yeah.

817
00:45:08,378 --> 00:45:12,181
So it's, it's like, I don't know.

818
00:45:12,181 --> 00:45:17,966
The farms are, the farm system is getting
so big in this league now because like the

819
00:45:17,966 --> 00:45:24,692
amount of players there are and having
only like your NHL team plus let's say

820
00:45:24,692 --> 00:45:26,993
like another 18 guys on the Marlies.

821
00:45:27,150 --> 00:45:30,731
that maybe you can have three or four of
them that you're looking at.

822
00:45:30,731 --> 00:45:34,093
Like it just doesn't, it's not big enough
to be able to properly develop people.

823
00:45:34,093 --> 00:45:37,694
So you need to have control of like other
systems that you can bring people up

824
00:45:37,694 --> 00:45:37,874
through.

825
00:45:37,874 --> 00:45:42,757
And it gives players an opportunity to
work their way up through those systems

826
00:45:42,757 --> 00:45:45,138
and potentially play with other people
that are doing that.

827
00:45:45,138 --> 00:45:47,459
If they're not doing the same and learn
from them, like it's just good for

828
00:45:47,459 --> 00:45:47,959
everybody.

829
00:45:47,959 --> 00:45:53,821
So I really hope this gets worked out
because there's no other real like.

830
00:45:54,158 --> 00:45:56,018
There's no, not another team this big.

831
00:45:56,018 --> 00:45:57,979
I think there's like a basketball team in
St.

832
00:45:57,979 --> 00:46:04,983
John's, but there's not much else as far
as like professional sports there.

833
00:46:04,983 --> 00:46:08,525
I mean, their curling team is like the
best on the fucking face of the earth,

834
00:46:08,525 --> 00:46:09,245
but.

835
00:46:10,305 --> 00:46:10,526
Yeah.

836
00:46:10,526 --> 00:46:17,812
course, Newfoundland's called the rock,
and, girl, you're pushing rocks on ice, so

837
00:46:17,812 --> 00:46:19,032
it's kind of fitting.

838
00:46:20,506 --> 00:46:23,389
Yeah, there's, what's his name, Brad
Gushy?

839
00:46:23,490 --> 00:46:25,213
Yeah, he's from St.

840
00:46:25,213 --> 00:46:26,033
John's.

841
00:46:26,248 --> 00:46:27,430
Isn't it Gushu?

842
00:46:28,877 --> 00:46:29,800
Gushy Gushu?

843
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,668
I don't know, I'm not a curling guy.

844
00:46:31,668 --> 00:46:34,575
they told me when I was there it was the
gushy highway.

845
00:46:34,575 --> 00:46:38,620
So I think because they literally have
their highway there named after that team.

846
00:46:38,620 --> 00:46:39,521
Ha ha

847
00:46:41,526 --> 00:46:43,769
That's what I mean, like that's the
biggest deal there.

848
00:46:43,769 --> 00:46:46,893
So the growler is second tier to curling,
but still.

849
00:46:47,710 --> 00:46:51,618
Well, like the Leafs have had a little bit
of a history of having a farm team out

850
00:46:51,618 --> 00:46:53,222
there as well, because they used to have
the St.

851
00:46:53,222 --> 00:46:54,864
John's Maple Leafs too.

852
00:46:55,487 --> 00:46:57,309
That was the AHL team out there.

853
00:46:58,194 --> 00:47:00,961
If MLSC buys them, they should change the
name to that.

854
00:47:02,978 --> 00:47:05,046
So I have the ECHL team be the St.

855
00:47:05,046 --> 00:47:09,461
John's, Maple Leafs, and then the Toronto
Marlies and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

856
00:47:12,002 --> 00:47:15,583
brand, like it's brand association, right?

857
00:47:15,583 --> 00:47:19,604
People don't think Toronto Maple Leafs
when they see Newfoundland Growlers.

858
00:47:19,604 --> 00:47:21,305
Like you gotta know that.

859
00:47:21,345 --> 00:47:27,347
You don't look at the Marleys and think,
oh, are they the Rangers affiliate?

860
00:47:27,347 --> 00:47:30,688
No, that looks like the Leafs logo,
slightly different.

861
00:47:30,688 --> 00:47:33,042
They're a Leafs team, you know?

862
00:47:33,042 --> 00:47:34,384
made it to the Leafs.

863
00:47:35,039 --> 00:47:42,063
to me, if I'm running the team, I almost
want to be separate from the NHL team

864
00:47:42,063 --> 00:47:44,584
because look at how close they are to
Montreal.

865
00:47:45,164 --> 00:47:50,227
How many people in Newfoundland have grown
up Montreal fans and yes, deep down they

866
00:47:50,227 --> 00:47:53,929
know this is the Leafs affiliate, but
they're not gonna buy a jersey if it's

867
00:47:53,929 --> 00:47:54,909
blue and white.

868
00:47:54,982 --> 00:47:56,924
is terrible if you're trying to...

869
00:47:57,466 --> 00:47:58,386
I get it.

870
00:47:58,507 --> 00:48:00,729
And the affiliate teams are like, I mean,
St.

871
00:48:00,729 --> 00:48:02,350
John's is pretty far from Toronto.

872
00:48:02,350 --> 00:48:06,654
They're quite often not in the same area,
especially when you get to your second

873
00:48:06,654 --> 00:48:07,815
tier one.

874
00:48:08,936 --> 00:48:10,136
And I mean, all of this aside.

875
00:48:10,136 --> 00:48:12,163
closer than Orlando.

876
00:48:13,550 --> 00:48:15,677
Orlando Solar Bears were our last one.

877
00:48:16,610 --> 00:48:21,894
Um, the other side of this 12 of you is,
um, Montreal's affiliate.

878
00:48:21,894 --> 00:48:26,036
So the one that actually owes money is the
one that should be making money.

879
00:48:26,036 --> 00:48:30,219
So I don't know if this is just a
management thing or if it comes down to

880
00:48:30,219 --> 00:48:35,803
the team actually being like down on
profits, but we'll see there's really not

881
00:48:35,803 --> 00:48:36,964
much info on this right now.

882
00:48:36,964 --> 00:48:41,507
And it's not like they're, I mean, I could
probably find this info, but I don't know

883
00:48:41,507 --> 00:48:44,189
how publicly available a lot of it is, so
we'll see.

884
00:48:45,546 --> 00:48:47,985
Yeah, it's really a weird story to come
out.

885
00:48:48,510 --> 00:48:52,033
Yeah, really cool though, speaking of the
growlers, I don't know if we talked about

886
00:48:52,033 --> 00:48:55,837
this, but you saw they signed Terry Ryan
for his birthday to play for a day.

887
00:48:55,837 --> 00:49:01,642
Yeah, it's pretty cool.

888
00:49:02,504 --> 00:49:03,605
I have nothing else.

889
00:49:03,605 --> 00:49:08,349
Do you have anything, any fun today in
hockey history that's happened?

890
00:49:09,938 --> 00:49:11,479
Um, not today.

891
00:49:11,580 --> 00:49:17,869
As, uh, as, as you know, I've lost my prep
time, falling asleep for the last, uh,

892
00:49:17,869 --> 00:49:21,230
couple minutes of the third period there
after I put Patrick to bed, so.

893
00:49:21,230 --> 00:49:21,971
Fair.

894
00:49:23,184 --> 00:49:24,087
Oh, have we?

895
00:49:24,147 --> 00:49:28,475
enough, the last three games of the season
are the Growlers vs.

896
00:49:28,475 --> 00:49:29,765
the Travier.

897
00:49:29,765 --> 00:49:30,534
really, eh?

898
00:49:30,534 --> 00:49:31,717
Oh my god.

899
00:49:33,446 --> 00:49:34,508
No way.

900
00:49:35,014 --> 00:49:38,401
Yeah, I just pulled up the Growlers
website just to see, right?

901
00:49:38,866 --> 00:49:42,028
I mean, convenient if those games just
can't happen.

902
00:49:42,869 --> 00:49:44,970
It's pretty easy for the league to figure
out.

903
00:49:46,392 --> 00:49:49,194
What I was gonna say, I don't know if
we've been on since.

904
00:49:49,194 --> 00:49:54,578
I went to the PWHL game in Ottawa on
Saturday.

905
00:49:55,079 --> 00:49:57,101
It was Toronto versus Ottawa.

906
00:49:57,101 --> 00:49:59,863
Ottawa ended the 11 game winning streak.

907
00:50:00,143 --> 00:50:07,169
But not without Natalie Spooner trying, oh
my God, her hardest to keep that streak

908
00:50:07,169 --> 00:50:07,734
alive.

909
00:50:07,734 --> 00:50:14,477
Holy shit, like, I've never watched, I've
never watched a professional hockey game

910
00:50:14,477 --> 00:50:16,378
this close to the glass, I don't think.

911
00:50:16,378 --> 00:50:23,922
Like we were three rows back from, like,
in between center ice and, well I'd say

912
00:50:23,922 --> 00:50:26,824
like, not in between center, in between
like the blue line and one of the nets.

913
00:50:26,824 --> 00:50:28,725
So like we were pretty close to one of the
nets.

914
00:50:28,725 --> 00:50:31,466
So I saw two of her goals, like right in
front of us.

915
00:50:31,466 --> 00:50:32,827
Holy shit.

916
00:50:33,067 --> 00:50:36,229
Like, a lot of the shots in this,

917
00:50:37,802 --> 00:50:38,402
Not a lot of them.

918
00:50:38,402 --> 00:50:44,187
I'd say like, there's, there's not the
same, I'd say the standard level of shot

919
00:50:44,187 --> 00:50:46,348
is obviously not as fast.

920
00:50:46,348 --> 00:50:47,669
And then all of a sudden spooner shoots.

921
00:50:47,669 --> 00:50:49,391
It's like that was like 80 miles an hour.

922
00:50:49,391 --> 00:50:50,251
What the fuck?

923
00:50:50,251 --> 00:50:54,074
Like you just blew everybody from the last
20 minutes out of the water.

924
00:50:54,074 --> 00:50:58,477
Like, no wonder you've got the league
leading goals like my god.

925
00:50:59,294 --> 00:51:05,379
Yeah, there's a couple players like, and
that'll even out over time, but right now

926
00:51:05,379 --> 00:51:10,303
with the women's game, and I'm not trying
to disrespect some of the lower end

927
00:51:10,303 --> 00:51:12,486
players, but there's a massive

928
00:51:12,486 --> 00:51:12,908
to either.

929
00:51:12,908 --> 00:51:14,616
I'm just trying to word that very
carefully.

930
00:51:14,616 --> 00:51:15,174
It's like.

931
00:51:15,174 --> 00:51:19,795
Yeah, there's a massive difference between
the top tier and then the rest of the

932
00:51:19,795 --> 00:51:20,595
league.

933
00:51:21,235 --> 00:51:26,697
And a lot of it is just the fact that the
top tier players, they've either been

934
00:51:26,697 --> 00:51:37,720
doing it forever, or they've put the focus
and the dedication and even with having

935
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:41,641
to, basically by having to sacrifice
something with their personal lives,

936
00:51:41,641 --> 00:51:44,121
because this is the first chance they've
ever had

937
00:51:44,578 --> 00:51:48,981
play in a professional league and not have
to either have a job or something else on

938
00:51:48,981 --> 00:51:51,244
the go at the same time, right?

939
00:51:51,244 --> 00:51:56,508
Like Poulan, Spooner, Knight, like these
are all players whose shot is just

940
00:51:56,508 --> 00:51:59,350
absolutely disgusting.

941
00:52:00,232 --> 00:52:06,377
And it's really nice to see the league be
as successful as it has been right out of

942
00:52:06,377 --> 00:52:07,177
the gate.

943
00:52:07,270 --> 00:52:09,050
Oh yeah, it was completely sold out.

944
00:52:09,050 --> 00:52:10,911
And oh, shout out to Darrell Watts on
Ottawa.

945
00:52:10,911 --> 00:52:12,871
I got a hat trick that was sick too.

946
00:52:13,771 --> 00:52:17,773
Also seeing like, it was kind of cool.

947
00:52:17,773 --> 00:52:20,654
Sarah Nurse like skating up past us in
front of the glass.

948
00:52:20,654 --> 00:52:25,515
I was like, wow, like that somebody that
like I've seen on TV a lot, like even, I

949
00:52:25,515 --> 00:52:26,015
don't know.

950
00:52:26,015 --> 00:52:29,036
It was just like cool star level, you
know?

951
00:52:29,036 --> 00:52:32,857
Like, I don't know how to put it.

952
00:52:32,857 --> 00:52:34,005
Like I wasn't.

953
00:52:34,005 --> 00:52:35,799
you see nurse go by.

954
00:52:35,799 --> 00:52:38,842
or I don't know, it's not been a thing
that you could follow that much.

955
00:52:38,842 --> 00:52:41,764
So now that that's like creating
celebrities, I think it was just kind of

956
00:52:41,764 --> 00:52:46,228
that realization like this person has
become a star over the last couple of

957
00:52:46,228 --> 00:52:47,048
years.

958
00:52:47,209 --> 00:52:50,592
And there was that effect of like, oh
shit, like that's her there.

959
00:52:50,592 --> 00:52:52,553
Like, so that was, I don't know, it was
kind of cool.

960
00:52:53,194 --> 00:52:58,518
Also there were a shit ton of hockey teams
there, like entire, like they did a thing

961
00:52:58,518 --> 00:53:02,561
on the screen, like, you know, shout out
to like all of these teams from.

962
00:53:02,610 --> 00:53:06,780
Ottawa from on the Quebec side in
Gatineau, from Kingston, from Coburg,

963
00:53:06,780 --> 00:53:07,762
shout out.

964
00:53:07,762 --> 00:53:11,329
The West Northumberland Wild girls team
were there.

965
00:53:13,802 --> 00:53:21,746
Well, like that's something that this
league has a benefit of is that like girls

966
00:53:21,746 --> 00:53:23,027
haven't had this.

967
00:53:23,807 --> 00:53:24,248
Right?

968
00:53:24,248 --> 00:53:28,670
Girls have never had this where they can
go and they can see someone who looks like

969
00:53:28,670 --> 00:53:29,410
them.

970
00:53:30,211 --> 00:53:34,954
Like to put it as blatantly as possible
because it hasn't been there.

971
00:53:34,954 --> 00:53:38,876
There's been attempts but they've never
been full bore.

972
00:53:41,182 --> 00:53:42,545
we need to do this properly.

973
00:53:42,545 --> 00:53:46,233
It's okay, let's see what we can do and
we'll go from there.

974
00:53:48,206 --> 00:53:50,770
And then someone else pops up and says, I
can do it better.

975
00:53:50,770 --> 00:53:52,914
And then it's like, fucking what are we
doing here?

976
00:53:52,914 --> 00:53:54,750
in and yeah.

977
00:53:54,750 --> 00:54:01,496
so this is a foundation that these teams,
these young girls can watch right from the

978
00:54:01,496 --> 00:54:09,062
beginning and can build that bond so that
15, 20 years down the line, we're all

979
00:54:09,062 --> 00:54:12,785
looking at those teams as if they're NHL
teams, right?

980
00:54:12,985 --> 00:54:16,548
They've been around, we know what they
are, we know what the logos are.

981
00:54:16,548 --> 00:54:20,872
I know we don't have that yet, but we
will.

982
00:54:20,872 --> 00:54:22,773
It's really...

983
00:54:23,102 --> 00:54:27,591
really good to see and I'm yet again I'm
just I'm glad they're they seem to knock

984
00:54:27,591 --> 00:54:29,533
on wood so far be doing everything right.

985
00:54:29,718 --> 00:54:32,460
Yeah, the amount of people in line for
merch was crazy.

986
00:54:32,460 --> 00:54:35,262
The amount of people that showed up
already wearing merch, like all the purple

987
00:54:35,262 --> 00:54:38,205
and white too, because I saw t-shirts and
sweaters, everything.

988
00:54:38,205 --> 00:54:40,627
It's like people are really into this.

989
00:54:40,627 --> 00:54:43,689
The people behind us had season tickets
and we're talking about all the games

990
00:54:43,689 --> 00:54:46,932
they'd been to and who like, yeah, I've
been to like six with this person and five

991
00:54:46,932 --> 00:54:47,592
with this person.

992
00:54:47,592 --> 00:54:50,335
It's like, people are really into it.

993
00:54:50,335 --> 00:54:53,957
Also, this game was violent.

994
00:54:55,079 --> 00:54:58,881
One person left, like they had to open
the, there's no like,

995
00:54:58,986 --> 00:55:00,886
You can't go to the dressing room from the
bench.

996
00:55:00,886 --> 00:55:04,667
So they have to like open the Zamboni door
at the TD arena.

997
00:55:05,127 --> 00:55:09,929
And so one person on Ottawa had to leave
out through there.

998
00:55:09,929 --> 00:55:14,010
I think it was like a boarding into like
headfirst into the boards.

999
00:55:14,470 --> 00:55:17,371
Somebody went feet first into the boards,
too, from a hit.

1000
00:55:17,371 --> 00:55:21,292
Like there were some massive ones right in
front of us, like the last shaking ones.

1001
00:55:21,292 --> 00:55:25,993
Like it was a lot harder hitting than I
think a lot of people expect.

1002
00:55:27,734 --> 00:55:31,816
Well, and that's, they've talked about it
a lot on serious XM.

1003
00:55:31,816 --> 00:55:36,339
When I listen anytime the PWHL comes up is
that everybody always says, Oh, you know,

1004
00:55:36,339 --> 00:55:38,720
women's hockey, there's no hitting,
there's no hitting.

1005
00:55:38,720 --> 00:55:39,821
It's not real hockey.

1006
00:55:39,821 --> 00:55:42,002
Well, no, it's real hockey.

1007
00:55:42,463 --> 00:55:47,686
You just, you just don't have people doing
stupid headshots, trying to take people's

1008
00:55:47,686 --> 00:55:48,707
heads off there.

1009
00:55:48,707 --> 00:55:50,467
Like they're playing physical.

1010
00:55:50,488 --> 00:55:52,189
They're not just skating around out there.

1011
00:55:52,189 --> 00:55:53,769
It's not an all star game.

1012
00:55:53,934 --> 00:55:57,042
There was one call for body checking for
like a straight up open ice hit.

1013
00:55:57,042 --> 00:56:00,712
And I was like, oh, so we are just gonna
go for it and take the penalty.

1014
00:56:01,355 --> 00:56:02,096
Cool.

1015
00:56:02,890 --> 00:56:03,554
Yeah

1016
00:56:04,710 --> 00:56:06,452
Yeah, it was a really good game.

1017
00:56:06,452 --> 00:56:11,097
I would definitely go back and it's, I
mean, obviously we, it was a gift for

1018
00:56:11,097 --> 00:56:11,738
Christmas to go.

1019
00:56:11,738 --> 00:56:15,783
That's why we were sitting so close, but
otherwise, like if you want to go and sit

1020
00:56:15,783 --> 00:56:18,687
like, you know, higher up, it's totally an
affordable game.

1021
00:56:18,687 --> 00:56:22,751
Not that Cens games aren't, but not an
Ottawa Toronto game.

1022
00:56:22,751 --> 00:56:24,680
So definitely.

1023
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:29,512
of PWHL, what's your thoughts on if the
NHL attempted what they're doing with the

1024
00:56:29,512 --> 00:56:30,453
playoffs?

1025
00:56:32,089 --> 00:56:32,676
Can't do it.

1026
00:56:32,676 --> 00:56:33,316
Can't do it.

1027
00:56:33,316 --> 00:56:34,385
your opponent.

1028
00:56:34,688 --> 00:56:38,474
Yeah, so like the NHL do that, first team
in each conference gets to pick which wild

1029
00:56:38,474 --> 00:56:39,356
card they want to play.

1030
00:56:39,356 --> 00:56:40,737
Just the wild cards.

1031
00:56:41,079 --> 00:56:42,468
Oh, just the wild cards?

1032
00:56:44,138 --> 00:56:46,143
just that there's some stability still.

1033
00:56:46,143 --> 00:56:49,973
So like, if it ended tonight, you'd go to
the Rangers and say, okay, you get to

1034
00:56:49,973 --> 00:56:51,815
pick, Tampa or Washington, who do you
want?

1035
00:56:51,815 --> 00:56:52,230
fun.

1036
00:56:52,230 --> 00:56:56,612
Yeah, then it feels like you've won
something for like achieving something and

1037
00:56:56,612 --> 00:56:59,234
coming in first place instead of just
like, oh you get to play this person.

1038
00:56:59,234 --> 00:57:02,936
It's like well they're only one point
apart and our record against them is so

1039
00:57:02,936 --> 00:57:05,257
much worse than the other wildcard team.

1040
00:57:05,257 --> 00:57:08,579
So I definitely agree that should be a
thing.

1041
00:57:08,819 --> 00:57:11,521
Of all these proposed rule changes that
seems to be one that keeps kind of

1042
00:57:11,521 --> 00:57:12,601
slipping through.

1043
00:57:13,214 --> 00:57:16,078
Yeah, and like you'd still have the
divisional matchups, which they kind of

1044
00:57:16,078 --> 00:57:18,801
want to keep because the two, three
matchups would be the same.

1045
00:57:20,044 --> 00:57:20,922
And then you would give.

1046
00:57:20,922 --> 00:57:25,084
it because you lose a good team in the
first round between the second and third

1047
00:57:25,084 --> 00:57:25,385
place.

1048
00:57:25,385 --> 00:57:28,566
That's the only argument I have against
that.

1049
00:57:28,886 --> 00:57:34,770
Like, it just seems like you're ratings
wise and fan base like viewership wise,

1050
00:57:34,770 --> 00:57:39,092
like you're getting rid of a team that's
going to bring a lot of eyes if they keep

1051
00:57:39,092 --> 00:57:43,295
going, you know, between both of them,
like your second and third place teams

1052
00:57:43,295 --> 00:57:45,556
could potentially both be in the second
round otherwise.

1053
00:57:45,556 --> 00:57:48,897
And that's a lot more than, you know.

1054
00:57:48,978 --> 00:57:50,689
I dunno, depends on the teams, but...

1055
00:57:51,786 --> 00:57:56,678
Realistically, it's not as of right now in
the East anyways, it wouldn't change the

1056
00:57:56,678 --> 00:57:58,501
matchups drastically.

1057
00:57:58,786 --> 00:58:00,812
No, it never really does.

1058
00:58:00,812 --> 00:58:04,522
It's just, it's usually that two-three
matchup you would end up playing like the

1059
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,228
sixth and fifth place in the conference.

1060
00:58:08,358 --> 00:58:12,937
I still like my idea of just complete
utter chaos 1 to 16.

1061
00:58:13,734 --> 00:58:19,817
I, again, it's the travel that wouldn't
make it work, but I do think the idea is

1062
00:58:19,817 --> 00:58:20,617
fun.

1063
00:58:20,617 --> 00:58:24,579
The travel and the splitting of some
rivalries, but yeah.

1064
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,161
Like I wouldn't want to play Dallas in the
first round.

1065
00:58:29,318 --> 00:58:29,779
Why?

1066
00:58:29,779 --> 00:58:32,787
Because you'd have to travel so goddamn
far.

1067
00:58:35,197 --> 00:58:38,667
These guys are traveling in the first
class, private jets.

1068
00:58:38,667 --> 00:58:39,549
Showdown.

1069
00:58:39,710 --> 00:58:40,616
Why not?

1070
00:58:40,616 --> 00:58:41,333
Why not?

1071
00:58:41,333 --> 00:58:43,800
Peter said so, we're doing it, alright
guys?

1072
00:58:44,764 --> 00:58:47,509
Okay, that now what?

1073
00:58:48,487 --> 00:58:49,328
Oh no, it wouldn't work.

1074
00:58:49,328 --> 00:58:51,773
I was going to say it would be
Toronto-Edmonton first round, but no it

1075
00:58:51,773 --> 00:58:55,539
wouldn't be.

1076
00:58:55,539 --> 00:58:57,161
It'd be Toronto-Florida still.

1077
00:58:58,982 --> 00:59:03,985
Oh, I gotta give a snack update from the
PWHL game at TD.

1078
00:59:03,985 --> 00:59:08,687
I had a, there's a weird snack bar there.

1079
00:59:08,687 --> 00:59:12,770
So you know how they're always like
branded, like whether it's something that

1080
00:59:12,770 --> 00:59:15,411
exists outside of there or it's something
they've just made up, it's always like

1081
00:59:15,411 --> 00:59:16,592
some fun thing.

1082
00:59:16,592 --> 00:59:21,534
There's one in the TD Lansdowne Arena that
I swear it must have been there since the

1083
00:59:21,534 --> 00:59:22,755
place opened.

1084
00:59:23,455 --> 00:59:27,297
It's called, oh my God, it's like
something cattle.

1085
00:59:27,862 --> 00:59:36,646
deli and it's like this it looks like a
canteen in a community center arena like

1086
00:59:37,447 --> 00:59:43,971
it's the weirdest looking little uh like
cafeteria sign with just you know the

1087
00:59:43,971 --> 00:59:48,773
warmers and popcorn machines and drink
things like it's nothing flashy but i went

1088
00:59:48,773 --> 00:59:52,355
there and i got pretzel bites with caramel
salted caramel dip or not salted caramel

1089
00:59:52,355 --> 00:59:56,077
the pretzels were salted as the pretzels
are with caramel dip

1090
00:59:57,110 --> 00:59:59,336
But then it wasn't when they got cold, so.

1091
01:00:00,882 --> 01:00:04,446
As you were describing the look of that, I
just had a really random craving to get

1092
01:00:04,446 --> 01:00:07,136
like theater popcorn with nacho cheese on
it.

1093
01:00:07,136 --> 01:00:08,059
so good.

1094
01:00:08,732 --> 01:00:09,620
Whoa.

1095
01:00:10,498 --> 01:00:11,325
You

1096
01:00:12,594 --> 01:00:14,505
Wait, I've never done that.

1097
01:00:14,505 --> 01:00:15,668
Is that a thing?

1098
01:00:17,476 --> 01:00:18,577
I've done it before.

1099
01:00:18,577 --> 01:00:20,318
I don't know if it's an actual thing.

1100
01:00:20,318 --> 01:00:23,301
I come up with weird concoctions food-wise
all the time.

1101
01:00:23,301 --> 01:00:24,841
It drives my wife insane.

1102
01:00:25,098 --> 01:00:28,060
Here, it's called the Cattle Castle Deli.

1103
01:00:29,262 --> 01:00:37,070
And apparently they do like sandwiches,
homemade deli sandwiches and classic

1104
01:00:37,070 --> 01:00:38,211
concession fare.

1105
01:00:38,211 --> 01:00:42,516
Like I swear, that's the first thing that
must've opened in this place for the 67s

1106
01:00:42,516 --> 01:00:43,476
years ago.

1107
01:00:43,757 --> 01:00:45,539
Oh, actually one last point.

1108
01:00:45,940 --> 01:00:48,161
I was saying when we were at the game, if-

1109
01:00:48,862 --> 01:00:51,284
They're going to be sharing the arena with
the 67s.

1110
01:00:51,284 --> 01:00:54,927
They should do because it's currently the
67s logo in the center.

1111
01:00:54,927 --> 01:01:00,331
Once they get the PWHL Ottawa logo, they
should do like Arizona, where they have

1112
01:01:00,331 --> 01:01:02,673
like this the slash where it's both of
them.

1113
01:01:02,673 --> 01:01:08,018
Because, I mean, really, like if we're
talking, who's the professional league

1114
01:01:08,018 --> 01:01:08,778
here?

1115
01:01:09,139 --> 01:01:15,344
We're going to we're going to put PWHL's
technically a step above the 67s, so they

1116
01:01:15,344 --> 01:01:17,165
should get their logo at center right.

1117
01:01:19,234 --> 01:01:25,565
Speaking of 67s, they play my hometown,
Brantford Bulldogs in the first round of

1118
01:01:25,565 --> 01:01:26,545
the playoffs.

1119
01:01:28,059 --> 01:01:28,966
Oh shit, nice.

1120
01:01:31,586 --> 01:01:32,576
Sorry, I'm...

1121
01:01:32,576 --> 01:01:36,325
it, Roscoe, but Ottawa's going down.

1122
01:01:38,134 --> 01:01:39,754
You know what?

1123
01:01:39,754 --> 01:01:41,795
I'm only somewhat supportive of Ottawa
teams.

1124
01:01:41,795 --> 01:01:43,816
This is where my allegiance is split.

1125
01:01:43,816 --> 01:01:48,878
Like the first two games of PWHL, it was
like, oh Toronto's not good.

1126
01:01:48,878 --> 01:01:54,620
They got like really badly tanked the
first two games and Ottawa looked great.

1127
01:01:54,620 --> 01:01:56,241
And I was like, oh finally.

1128
01:01:56,641 --> 01:02:01,603
And then Ottawa goes down to, they're in
fifth place now actually, or fourth,

1129
01:02:01,603 --> 01:02:03,104
sorry, they're in the playoffs.

1130
01:02:03,424 --> 01:02:05,144
I think as of right now, we'll see.

1131
01:02:05,205 --> 01:02:07,545
But Toronto just went on an absolute tear.

1132
01:02:11,230 --> 01:02:11,612
Yeah.

1133
01:02:11,612 --> 01:02:14,785
And it's, they're, they're doing their
international break right now.

1134
01:02:18,270 --> 01:02:18,811
Yeah.

1135
01:02:18,811 --> 01:02:21,857
So they're, they're pa they're going to
pause for the women's worlds and then come

1136
01:02:21,857 --> 01:02:28,489
back for, I want to say it's three or four
games and then start the playoffs.

1137
01:02:29,470 --> 01:02:29,571
Nice.

1138
01:02:29,571 --> 01:02:30,832
Oh yeah, and Boston lost.

1139
01:02:30,832 --> 01:02:36,457
So Ottawa's got a five point lead on
Boston with five games remaining.

1140
01:02:37,039 --> 01:02:38,340
So they should make the playoffs.

1141
01:02:38,340 --> 01:02:44,546
It would be Toronto versus Ottawa in the
first round if it stays as is.

1142
01:02:44,767 --> 01:02:47,389
Minnesota is only a point behind and then
Montreal.

1143
01:02:47,975 --> 01:02:49,851
if Toronto wanted to play Ottawa.

1144
01:02:49,970 --> 01:02:51,620
Oh right, they can pick.

1145
01:02:53,438 --> 01:02:55,682
So what they can pick between Montreal or
Ottawa.

1146
01:02:56,526 --> 01:02:58,169
And then Minnesota plays the other one.

1147
01:02:58,436 --> 01:03:00,789
I think Toronto would get to pick whoever
they wanted.

1148
01:03:03,114 --> 01:03:06,778
Like so any of the teams that qualified
for the playoffs, they would get picked.

1149
01:03:06,975 --> 01:03:10,099
Okay, well I'm assuming they wouldn't want
to play Minnesota in the first round, who

1150
01:03:10,099 --> 01:03:13,523
are almost as good as them, but...

1151
01:03:13,523 --> 01:03:13,983
Damn.

1152
01:03:13,983 --> 01:03:15,585
That's gonna be interesting.

1153
01:03:15,585 --> 01:03:19,029
I'll have to watch who they pick.

1154
01:03:19,029 --> 01:03:20,211
Anywho, we out.

1155
01:03:20,211 --> 01:03:21,351
Thanks for listening.

1156
01:03:21,392 --> 01:03:26,257
Have a good, lovely evening, and we'll see
you Saturday night, I suppose.

1157
01:03:27,051 --> 01:03:27,883
Ciao ciao.

1158
01:03:27,938 --> 01:03:28,767
Ciao ciao.

1159
01:03:56,942 --> 01:03:57,706
Doo doo doo.

1160
01:03:57,706 --> 01:03:59,135
Weaves Nation.
