1 00:00:01,122 --> 00:00:03,502 Alright, welcome back, welcome back. 2 00:00:03,502 --> 00:00:06,462 In case you missed it, before we start, we gotta talk about this crazy Ike Runner 3 00:00:06,462 --> 00:00:07,422 story. 4 00:00:07,762 --> 00:00:10,684 Did you catch this one before, there in the pregame? 5 00:00:11,596 --> 00:00:13,906 I didn't see it during the pregame. 6 00:00:13,906 --> 00:00:16,446 I had seen it pop up on my phone earlier today. 7 00:00:16,446 --> 00:00:18,466 It was a little bit of a crazy day. 8 00:00:18,466 --> 00:00:21,796 So I never read the article, but you were talking about it and then they talked 9 00:00:21,796 --> 00:00:23,352 about it later on in the game. 10 00:00:23,438 --> 00:00:24,218 Oh, same. 11 00:00:24,218 --> 00:00:28,728 So I kind of turned on the pregame just in the last couple of minutes of it to see 12 00:00:28,728 --> 00:00:29,538 the end. 13 00:00:29,538 --> 00:00:32,848 And I kind of could put two and two together of what had happened, but I 14 00:00:32,848 --> 00:00:33,938 didn't know the whole story. 15 00:00:33,938 --> 00:00:36,298 So I read the article in the athletic from CJ. 16 00:00:36,298 --> 00:00:38,938 And what a wild story. 17 00:00:38,938 --> 00:00:45,678 So these two teams prestige worldwide and the Jaeger bombs like couldn't be more of 18 00:00:45,678 --> 00:00:47,078 a random ass league. 19 00:00:47,078 --> 00:00:52,536 These guys are playing on one of the ranks at, I guess, the Leafs practice arena. 20 00:00:52,686 --> 00:00:53,826 Can you just rent this? 21 00:00:53,826 --> 00:00:55,114 This is a thing. 22 00:00:55,618 --> 00:00:59,708 I've never looked into it, but I think you could rent the MassCard Center. 23 00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:03,350 I guess these guys must have had like a tournament or something going on. 24 00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:08,950 So anyway, Ike shows up and he says he mentions he said he mentioned he mentioned 25 00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:11,710 seeing the all the players cars were there. 26 00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:15,250 So they must have just finished practice and that the ice was all nice as though it 27 00:01:15,250 --> 00:01:17,490 had been zamboni properly and everything. 28 00:01:17,690 --> 00:01:19,680 So they were still in the building that had left yet. 29 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,370 And a freak accident skate comes up and slices his throat. 30 00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:28,400 And within a minute, it's like the entire Leafs medical staff is there helping him 31 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:28,910 and. 32 00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:30,930 literally saved this guy's life. 33 00:01:30,930 --> 00:01:34,970 Like, who knows what could have happened otherwise if they had relied on, you know, 34 00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:37,060 first response time to like get an ambulance over there. 35 00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:38,270 The guy could have bled out. 36 00:01:38,270 --> 00:01:40,836 Like, that's wild. 37 00:01:41,570 --> 00:01:47,670 Oh, yeah, it really makes you think and the fact that, you know, the game's been 38 00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:54,070 around for well over a hundred years and we're only really seeing these types of 39 00:01:54,070 --> 00:01:56,010 injuries lately. 40 00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:59,130 Like the first one I ever recall seeing, obviously there was cuts, but there was 41 00:01:59,130 --> 00:02:02,410 never anything severe until Clint Malarchuk. 42 00:02:04,270 --> 00:02:10,140 And then, you know, we had a really good run after that, right up till Zednik, just 43 00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:11,586 after the lockout. 44 00:02:11,586 --> 00:02:14,938 And then obviously this year has been bad for it. 45 00:02:16,014 --> 00:02:20,094 Yeah, I don't know if there's anything we can attribute to it other than bad luck. 46 00:02:20,094 --> 00:02:23,914 Like, I don't know if changes in equipment, you guys are more confident 47 00:02:23,914 --> 00:02:29,384 when they have more padding on than they did back in the day to not control their 48 00:02:29,384 --> 00:02:30,504 flailing limbs as much. 49 00:02:30,504 --> 00:02:31,334 I don't know. 50 00:02:31,334 --> 00:02:32,496 It's hard to say. 51 00:02:32,810 --> 00:02:37,430 like, if you took a skate blade from a skate today and compared it to back in the 52 00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:42,850 day, it's like comparing a katana to a butter knife, but also the speed of the 53 00:02:42,850 --> 00:02:43,962 game, I think. 54 00:02:43,982 --> 00:02:47,862 what helped Ike's cut not be as bad as it could have been. 55 00:02:47,862 --> 00:02:50,562 They said because it was so sharp, it was a clean cut. 56 00:02:50,562 --> 00:02:53,662 Sorry to get graphic, but like, I mean, that's how these things work. 57 00:02:53,662 --> 00:02:57,612 Like if it was a shitty, dull skate blade like back in the day, it probably would 58 00:02:57,612 --> 00:02:58,982 have done more damage. 59 00:02:59,342 --> 00:03:02,042 But yeah, I guess the speed does account for it. 60 00:03:02,042 --> 00:03:07,262 If somebody goes down, they have more likely a higher chance to have a leg fly 61 00:03:07,262 --> 00:03:09,362 up than they would if they're going half the speed. 62 00:03:09,362 --> 00:03:09,984 So. 63 00:03:09,984 --> 00:03:10,688 Mm -hmm. 64 00:03:10,688 --> 00:03:12,178 It's freaky. 65 00:03:12,178 --> 00:03:13,758 Freaky deaky deaky. 66 00:03:29,068 -->

months to come up with it and all of a couple hours to put it 81 00:04:16,348 --> 00:04:16,598 together. 82 00:04:16,598 --> 00:04:18,818 So please support us. 83 00:04:18,898 --> 00:04:23,118 Buy

today. 86 00:04:28,898 --> 00:04:31,458 Obviously Leafs goaltending has been in flux. 87 00:04:31,458 --> 00:04:35,168 There's been people hurt and we've had many guys take the net this year. 88 00:04:35,168 --> 00:04:39,458 But the news today was that a fifth locker 89 00:04:39,470 --> 00:04:40,790 was added. 90 00:04:41,570 --> 00:04:47,110 So we have Martin Jones, we have Ilya Samsonov, we had Dennis Hildeby, we have 91 00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:52,180 Joseph Wall, who is now practicing again, and Matt Murray. 92 00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:56,948 Where's my button? 93 00:04:59,694 --> 00:05:00,714 Not even that one. 94 00:05:00,714 --> 00:05:01,636 Bigger. 95 00:05:04,238 --> 00:05:05,818 Guys, Matt Murray. 96 00:05:05,818 --> 00:05:09,578 This was like, loophole slash Robi dot island. 97 00:05:09,578 --> 00:05:13,368 We thought this was to tuck him away for the year, let the contract run out. 98 00:05:13,368 --> 00:05:15,828 He'll be fine after 12 months of rehabbing. 99 00:05:15,828 --> 00:05:17,118 That's how it's going to go. 100 00:05:17,118 --> 00:05:20,138 But lo and behold, he's back. 101 00:05:20,138 --> 00:05:25,478 We don't know how back he is, but it seems he could be taking practice soon. 102 00:05:26,638 --> 00:05:27,770 Holy shit. 103 00:05:28,578 --> 00:05:33,908 Yeah, it would definitely be a surprise, especially when you have, you know, the 104 00:05:33,908 --> 00:05:39,098 lower body history that he has in that position, but it's definitely doable. 105 00:05:39,098 --> 00:05:42,718 And I think it, if I remember correctly, I think it was Marty before the season 106 00:05:42,718 --> 00:05:46,882 called it that he'll pull a Kutcher off and come back for the playoffs, didn't he? 107 00:05:47,790 --> 00:05:50,710 I mean, look, we'll take it, I think. 108 00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:55,230 But it opens up an interesting conundrum here where you don't have the money to 109 00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:57,124 activate him even if he is healthy. 110 00:05:58,752 --> 00:06:02,862 Yeah, but there's a lot of time for him to have to rehab. 111 00:06:03,022 --> 00:06:07,552 Like, you figure this is probably the first time he's been putting skates back 112 00:06:07,552 --> 00:06:08,288 on. 113 00:06:08,398 --> 00:06:10,478 Oh yeah, he might not play this season. 114 00:06:10,478 --> 00:06:12,878 It's definitely a giant question mark. 115 00:06:12,878 --> 00:06:17,298 But look with the medical staff that we know the Leafs have, look at that Amazon 116 00:06:17,298 --> 00:06:21,448 documentary when we saw him wasn't hooked up to a literal electronic bone mending 117 00:06:21,448 --> 00:06:22,498 machine. 118 00:06:22,918 --> 00:06:27,218 Like these guys will get them back as fast as they can, I think, unless they really 119 00:06:27,218 --> 00:06:29,578 don't want them to come back as fast as they can. 120 00:06:29,578 --> 00:06:33,190 But look, it opens up the opportunity to... 121 00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:37,676 potentially move somebody if he's going to come back and walls going to come back and 122 00:06:37,676 --> 00:06:40,546 like you you literally have too many goalies. 123 00:06:41,246 --> 00:06:42,882 Who do you keep? 124 00:06:42,978 --> 00:06:46,518 with the injury history that we have, do you have too many goalies? 125 00:06:47,502 --> 00:06:50,962 Well, if they all come - if they're all healthy at the same time, yeah, you do 126 00:06:50,962 --> 00:06:53,322 have a problem, because you're gonna have to wave somebody. 127 00:06:54,562 --> 00:07:04,672 Well yeah, so realistically with how it's been going, I don't think you would want 128 00:07:04,672 --> 00:07:10,262 to gamble with anything more than Joseph Wall and Ilya Samsonov. 129 00:07:11,002 --> 00:07:14,542 Maybe you hope Jones clears waivers and you can send them down. 130 00:07:14,542 --> 00:07:16,522 See, I don't think Jones clears waivers anymore. 131 00:07:16,522 --> 00:07:19,862 I think a couple months ago he would have, but because of the opportunity he's gotten 132 00:07:19,862 --> 00:07:24,142 and what he's shown, like there's a lot of teams looking for at least a backup that 133 00:07:24,142 --> 00:07:25,190 would grab him. 134 00:07:25,954 --> 00:07:28,854 With his last handful of games though, I don't know. 135 00:07:28,854 --> 00:07:32,814 Because I'm not saying he's been horrible, but he's been, you know, regressing back 136 00:07:32,814 --> 00:07:33,802 to the mean. 137 00:07:34,190 --> 00:07:35,230 it's fair. 138 00:07:35,310 --> 00:07:40,460 But again, people I think are more likely to take somebody that they've seen play 139 00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:44,210 games this year than where he was at before, where it was just a kind of a 140 00:07:44,210 --> 00:07:45,232 roster move. 141 00:07:45,602 --> 00:07:47,782 Yep, no, you're right. 142 00:07:49,422 --> 00:07:57,072 If Trey Living has balls of steel, he might try and like trade Sammy and 143 00:07:57,072 --> 00:08:00,472 activate Murray or something crazy like that. 144 00:08:00,472 --> 00:08:03,162 But I think that would be a crazy gamble. 145 00:08:03,162 --> 00:08:08,142 Like I would love the story for Murray to be able to come back and, you know, 146 00:08:08,142 --> 00:08:11,682 potentially play really well for us in the playoffs if something happened. 147 00:08:11,682 --> 00:08:15,054 But you can't be expecting that. 148 00:08:15,886 --> 00:08:21,936 We've got basically a week and a half for Wool and Murray both to get completely 149 00:08:21,936 --> 00:08:26,026 healthy and start playing games before the deadline for us to be able to make a 150 00:08:26,026 --> 00:08:26,826 confident decision here. 151 00:08:26,826 --> 00:08:28,706 So I don't think that's happening. 152 00:08:29,326 --> 00:08:31,026 Joseph Wool might come back though. 153 00:08:31,026 --> 00:08:36,726 Like that's a definite possibility for the next week or two, it seems. 154 00:08:36,726 --> 00:08:42,396 So in that case, like I'm still asking, do you waive? 155 00:08:43,682 --> 00:08:49,612 say Martin Jones and risk it or do you trade Samson of like trade Jones like 156 00:08:49,612 --> 00:08:54,072 what's the what's the play because I don't know if you can carry the three of them 157 00:08:54,072 --> 00:08:57,182 and then you've got like if you trust Hildebe to be the backup in these 158 00:08:57,182 --> 00:09:01,752 emergency situations he can be your third or fourth guy like he doesn't have to be 159 00:09:01,752 --> 00:09:03,122 the fifth at this point. 160 00:09:03,842 --> 00:09:05,402 I agree with that. 161 00:09:05,402 --> 00:09:09,408 I'm still a little pissed that Keith hasn't at least given him a game. 162 00:09:09,452 --> 00:09:11,812 Yeah, I don't know why we keep bringing him here if he's going to sit on the 163 00:09:11,812 --> 00:09:15,882 fucking bench for games that like he could definitely be playing in. 164 00:09:16,302 --> 00:09:20,122 With how the Leafs have been keeping opponents to like less than 20 shots a 165 00:09:20,122 --> 00:09:23,502 game, especially when they don't trust their goaltender, let him have one of 166 00:09:23,502 --> 00:09:26,402 those like we've got Arizona and St. 167 00:09:26,402 --> 00:09:28,062 Louis and. 168 00:09:28,142 --> 00:09:29,742 Like what's the other one? 169 00:09:29,742 --> 00:09:34,932 There's another easy game, but Anaheim exactly Anaheim or the Coyotes let Hildeby 170 00:09:34,932 --> 00:09:35,742 play. 171 00:09:37,122 --> 00:09:38,492 Yeah, no, I do agree. 172 00:09:38,492 --> 00:09:40,062 He needs to get a game in here and there. 173 00:09:40,062 --> 00:09:41,922 We need to see what we have. 174 00:09:42,342 --> 00:09:47,602 It should have happened earlier in the season, but I don't want to get into 175 00:09:47,602 --> 00:09:48,922 coaching tonight. 176 00:09:48,942 --> 00:09:51,242 I've been doing that a lot lately. 177 00:09:52,182 --> 00:10:00,592 Yeah, but like, I still think at the end of the day, Wall's probably our guy going 178 00:10:00,592 --> 00:10:01,662 forward. 179 00:10:01,922 --> 00:10:03,914 So as long as he can... 180 00:10:03,914 --> 00:10:09,534 you know, show you or instill in you a little confidence that he has recovered 181 00:10:09,534 --> 00:10:14,294 from his injury to at least be what he was earlier this season, then I don't think 182 00:10:14,294 --> 00:10:16,144 you need to do anything too drastic. 183 00:10:17,486 --> 00:10:21,246 No, and I think really what this comes back to, if you missed our last episode, 184 00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:26,086 is the cupboards pretty bare when it comes to what the Leafs have to make any moves 185 00:10:26,086 --> 00:10:26,736 at the deadline. 186 00:10:26,736 --> 00:10:32,386 So if you can turn one of these extra goalies into even a second round pick, 187 00:10:32,426 --> 00:10:36,106 like that opens up a huge opportunity to bring in somebody for the bottom six that 188 00:10:36,106 --> 00:10:37,406 they desperately need. 189 00:10:37,406 --> 00:10:42,146 Like, oh my God, we're so happy that Bobby McMahon is the next is like the Seymour 190 00:10:42,146 --> 00:10:43,526 Benoit of the forward group. 191 00:10:43,526 --> 00:10:45,606 Like, great, you're here and you're working. 192 00:10:45,606 --> 00:10:47,500 Reeves, pack your shit. 193 00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:49,170 McMahon got your spot. 194 00:10:49,230 --> 00:10:54,350 Like this guy is playing his heart out and kudos to him, but we need somebody like 195 00:10:54,350 --> 00:10:57,212 with a bit of experience back there to keep it solid. 196 00:10:59,650 --> 00:11:05,270 Well, I think you need a little more structure really. 197 00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:11,470 Like, McMahon, Greger, Holmberg, Robertson, like, we have guys who play the 198 00:11:11,470 --> 00:11:15,430 s or who can play the style that you need to play in that bottom six. 199 00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:19,060 So if we're gonna be using assets, I don't know if we need to necessarily use assets 200 00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:22,570 to - to reinforce that. 201 00:11:22,570 --> 00:11:26,080 If everybody plays a little more structurally. 202 00:11:26,254 --> 00:11:30,204 I just feel like they needed an anchor back there because it hasn't been camp and 203 00:11:30,204 --> 00:11:31,994 it's not Domey. 204 00:11:32,174 --> 00:11:34,134 Like, I don't know. 205 00:11:34,134 --> 00:11:37,054 Somebody's got to really like drive that identity. 206 00:11:37,054 --> 00:11:40,522 Like, like tell the other two guys, like, this is what we're doing, you know? 207 00:11:40,770 --> 00:11:43,612 Keith's not gonna play them anyways, even if you won't get someone. 208 00:11:43,886 --> 00:11:46,758 I just 209 00:11:46,758 --> 00:11:53,338 the most even I think I've ever seen the ice time for any of the Leaf games this 210 00:11:53,338 --> 00:11:54,098 season. 211 00:11:54,286 --> 00:11:57,596 Well, and I mean, you're also trying to nurse the fact that two guys are coming 212 00:11:57,596 --> 00:12:00,866 off an illness and couldn't even play the other day. 213 00:12:00,866 --> 00:12:03,446 So it might be some of that working into it. 214 00:12:03,446 --> 00:12:05,566 So you can't even give them that much credit. 215 00:12:06,186 --> 00:12:10,976 What I do want to talk about with tonight, though, is my God, the Leafs were a 216 00:12:10,976 --> 00:12:14,266 completely different team getting JT and Mitch back. 217 00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:18,166 Like they play so much differently when they're shorthanded their stars. 218 00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:22,510 Like, I mean, obviously Riley's still down, but it was night and day. 219 00:12:22,510 --> 00:12:25,062 the team that hit the ice in the first period. 220 00:12:25,506 --> 00:12:27,126 They've always been like that though. 221 00:12:27,126 --> 00:12:31,866 Like right from the beginning of this Matthews era, 100%. 222 00:12:31,866 --> 00:12:35,646 Like it'd be a big storyline, oh Matthews is down, how are the Leafs gonna do? 223 00:12:35,646 --> 00:12:38,946 They're gonna struggle to score and then they go out and they put up four or five. 224 00:12:39,626 --> 00:12:42,486 Like it's kind of similar to the Penguins. 225 00:12:42,666 --> 00:12:46,796 Anytime Crosby was out, people would worry and worry and worry and Melkin and LaTang 226 00:12:46,796 --> 00:12:50,326 and everyone else would step up and there'd be no concerns. 227 00:12:51,106 --> 00:12:52,146 So. 228 00:12:52,386 --> 00:12:57,466 I think that just goes to show that the players know how they're supposed to play. 229 00:12:57,986 --> 00:13:00,116 Like if they played every game, like they played the St. 230 00:13:00,116 --> 00:13:03,326 Louis game, now unfortunately I had to work super late that night, so I couldn't 231 00:13:03,326 --> 00:13:06,546 watch it that night, I had to watch replays. 232 00:13:06,546 --> 00:13:09,306 But that was one of their best games all season. 233 00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:13,486 Like structure -wise as a team, right? 234 00:13:14,086 --> 00:13:18,546 So they can do it, they just need to do it. 235 00:13:18,546 --> 00:13:21,946 And that's preparation and commitment and... 236 00:13:22,690 --> 00:13:23,590 Cool. 237 00:13:24,494 --> 00:13:28,224 Yeah, I mean, not to dwell too much on the coaching, but it does seem like there's a 238 00:13:28,224 --> 00:13:31,664 strategy like he knows how to work with a certain format of team. 239 00:13:31,664 --> 00:13:35,384 But as soon as these guys come back in, like he doesn't know what to do with them 240 00:13:35,384 --> 00:13:36,274 right now. 241 00:13:36,274 --> 00:13:40,194 And it seems like I don't want to blame the rest of the guys for, you know, oh, 242 00:13:40,194 --> 00:13:40,884 the stars are back. 243 00:13:40,884 --> 00:13:43,774 Let's phone it in because it literally seems like they're playing a different 244 00:13:43,774 --> 00:13:46,534 game in a different structure when these two guys get put back into it. 245 00:13:46,534 --> 00:13:51,484 And it's a game that doesn't work and is proving it doesn't work the last month and 246 00:13:51,484 --> 00:13:52,274 a half. 247 00:13:52,274 --> 00:13:53,518 So I don't. 248 00:13:53,518 --> 00:13:58,058 I don't know why we're not building on what works instead of going back to 249 00:13:58,058 --> 00:14:00,298 fucking anyway, not to dwell on coaching. 250 00:14:00,298 --> 00:14:07,848 Like I said, Sammy tonight, not good, not great, not bad, not great. 251 00:14:09,410 --> 00:14:13,550 Yeah, not horrible, but not great. 252 00:14:13,870 --> 00:14:14,714 Like... 253 00:14:16,386 --> 00:14:21,346 a little bit of swimming, he had a couple decent saves, the one bomb on the power 254 00:14:21,346 --> 00:14:26,826 play late, he did get it with his glove but he couldn't hold on to it, so like, 255 00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:30,516 better than he was to start the season, but not how he was before the All -Star 256 00:14:30,516 --> 00:14:33,530 break if we wanted to sum it up. 257 00:14:33,626 --> 00:14:38,326 I'd say the only one that I like back from him is that second one, the big rebound 258 00:14:38,326 --> 00:14:39,886 that ended up coming back in. 259 00:14:39,886 --> 00:14:44,366 But really, like the fact that the Leafs gave up a shorthanded goal and two power 260 00:14:44,366 --> 00:14:47,426 play goals, like it's really hard to put any of it on him. 261 00:14:47,966 --> 00:14:51,826 Holy shit, they were bad, like sloppy game tonight. 262 00:14:51,826 --> 00:14:54,346 I mean, the first period was obviously the worst. 263 00:14:54,346 --> 00:14:57,106 The second is all Austin Matthews. 264 00:14:57,106 --> 00:14:58,222 Like, I mean. 265 00:14:58,222 --> 00:15:01,642 Obviously, Mitch was setting him up and everyone kind of feeds off of that. 266 00:15:01,642 --> 00:15:06,742 But it seemed like in between those little spurts of Matthew scoring, like two 267 00:15:06,742 --> 00:15:10,318 minutes before he started scoring and two minutes after the team just deflated. 268 00:15:12,514 --> 00:15:18,714 Yeah, and I couldn't help but think of previous comments between you and I when 269 00:15:18,714 --> 00:15:20,874 Matthew's got his first goal. 270 00:15:21,114 --> 00:15:25,744 As you always like to say, if he's not scoring, what are we paying him $12 271 00:15:25,744 --> 00:15:26,544 million for? 272 00:15:26,544 --> 00:15:29,894 And it's like, yep, there's the scoring that we're talking about. 273 00:15:29,894 --> 00:15:32,846 Just walks in and rifles it. 274 00:15:32,846 --> 00:15:34,926 He made that look so easy. 275 00:15:34,926 --> 00:15:37,066 It didn't even look like he put anything on those shots. 276 00:15:37,066 --> 00:15:39,606 It was just no celebration. 277 00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:40,346 There it is. 278 00:15:40,346 --> 00:15:43,706 I'm glad he at least smiled when he got the hat trick. 279 00:15:43,706 --> 00:15:46,766 But like, holy shit, this guy was just a mutant tonight. 280 00:15:46,766 --> 00:15:48,546 He was scoring pissed. 281 00:15:48,546 --> 00:15:53,686 This was like, I can't believe that I have to do this alone scoring. 282 00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:57,958 That was the look on his face like, fine, I'll do it. 283 00:15:59,522 --> 00:16:01,302 You're not wrong. 284 00:16:01,382 --> 00:16:05,822 And then they got a little cute trying to find him for the fourth goal. 285 00:16:06,362 --> 00:16:06,784 Like... 286 00:16:06,784 --> 00:16:09,494 was, oh my God, Mitch, come on. 287 00:16:09,574 --> 00:16:12,034 Don't make a six inch pass. 288 00:16:12,034 --> 00:16:13,384 Like you made it all the way there. 289 00:16:13,384 --> 00:16:14,794 Just take the shot. 290 00:16:14,794 --> 00:16:15,474 Fuck. 291 00:16:15,474 --> 00:16:16,664 He already has the hat trick. 292 00:16:16,664 --> 00:16:17,778 What are you doing? 293 00:16:17,778 --> 00:16:22,498 I could get it if it was like he's going for the double hat trick or like Sittler's 294 00:16:22,498 --> 00:16:27,122 point record or something like that, but for just a four goal. 295 00:16:27,122 --> 00:16:29,562 in a game against Philly in February. 296 00:16:29,562 --> 00:16:31,234 Like, don't do this. 297 00:16:31,234 --> 00:16:33,322 Yeah, no exactly. 298 00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:38,472 But some sloppy penalties, I mean, in the offensive zone, like what is Bertuzzi 299 00:16:38,472 --> 00:16:39,022 doing? 300 00:16:39,022 --> 00:16:41,162 Gio with the embellishment there. 301 00:16:41,162 --> 00:16:44,792 I do want to get to that, but like just some bad penalties. 302 00:16:44,792 --> 00:16:46,952 And they got away with murder before too. 303 00:16:46,952 --> 00:16:51,302 Like there were two missed high sticks that they showed replays of. 304 00:16:51,302 --> 00:16:52,944 Like, oh my God. 305 00:16:54,114 --> 00:16:55,754 Yeah, the... 306 00:16:55,754 --> 00:17:00,654 Like, I don't blame anything on the officiating, definitely not for this game. 307 00:17:00,994 --> 00:17:05,744 It was bad play and bad structure by the Leafs that caused... 308 00:17:05,744 --> 00:17:07,454 that allowed the comeback. 309 00:17:07,454 --> 00:17:09,494 But, um... 310 00:17:09,494 --> 00:17:12,094 Like, Gregor's penalty... 311 00:17:12,094 --> 00:17:16,554 Okay, yeah, he shouldn't have done it, but Sandheim probably could have got brought. 312 00:17:16,554 --> 00:17:18,044 Yeah, you know, that kind of situation. 313 00:17:18,044 --> 00:17:20,026 You take both of them or you take neither of them. 314 00:17:21,102 --> 00:17:24,562 Yeah, Philly is really embracing the Broad Street bullies again this year. 315 00:17:24,562 --> 00:17:27,902 Holy like that fight Benoit. 316 00:17:27,902 --> 00:17:29,262 I know. 317 00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:30,622 I know. 318 00:17:30,622 --> 00:17:34,762 But that that thing with Benoit, I don't understand how it's not an instigator. 319 00:17:34,762 --> 00:17:37,982 Like if you hit a guy and another guy comes in and shoves you into the boards, 320 00:17:37,982 --> 00:17:40,142 you can't go anywhere and they start hitting you. 321 00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:42,478 Like, is that not an instigator penalty? 322 00:17:42,478 --> 00:17:44,080 Deloria got the instigator. 323 00:17:44,236 --> 00:17:45,206 Not on the... 324 00:17:45,206 --> 00:17:46,146 Diddy? 325 00:17:46,146 --> 00:17:46,974 Mm -hmm. 326 00:17:47,950 --> 00:17:49,110 Oh, okay, then I missed that. 327 00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:50,754 I thought that went without one. 328 00:17:50,754 --> 00:17:53,264 Yeah, no, he definitely got the instigator for that one. 329 00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:54,950 Okay, good. 330 00:17:55,010 --> 00:18:00,870 The other one the embellishment on geo, like that was probably the most 331 00:18:00,870 --> 00:18:06,050 embellishment embellishment call, but I do think that they need to be a little more 332 00:18:06,050 --> 00:18:06,510 consistent. 333 00:18:06,510 --> 00:18:12,870 Like if you're going to call embellishment ever, then call it like we, we can't say 334 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:17,660 people are good at drawing penalties, we can't use the term drawing a penalty if 335 00:18:17,660 --> 00:18:20,890 there's also a penalty for embellishment. 336 00:18:20,890 --> 00:18:22,734 Like if someone taps your foot, 337 00:18:22,734 --> 00:18:26,794 and you fall down and they get called for tripping, like you're telling me that guy 338 00:18:26,794 --> 00:18:31,114 couldn't have stayed on his feet if he wanted to, if he really wanted to keep 339 00:18:31,114 --> 00:18:31,374 going? 340 00:18:31,374 --> 00:18:35,204 No, he went down because he drew a penalty because that's how hockey is played. 341 00:18:35,204 --> 00:18:38,552 That's what we call drawing a penalty. 342 00:18:41,698 --> 00:18:43,958 Well, yes and no. 343 00:18:43,958 --> 00:18:46,758 There's definitely people who are better at it. 344 00:18:47,418 --> 00:18:53,318 Like Tim Stutsell, for example, he is a notorious diver to the point that he's got 345 00:18:53,318 --> 00:18:54,778 a reputation for it now. 346 00:18:54,778 --> 00:18:57,938 And then you go to the other end of the world, the best player in the world, 347 00:18:57,938 --> 00:19:03,848 Connor McDavid draws, I think he's in the like the bottom five or 10 in the league 348 00:19:03,848 --> 00:19:06,842 for penalties drawn, which is absolutely asinine. 349 00:19:07,054 --> 00:19:10,314 Oh, and mean, Crosby went through the same thing, and mean, Matthews has gone through 350 00:19:10,314 --> 00:19:10,434 it. 351 00:19:10,434 --> 00:19:14,364 It's hard for the stars to draw penalties because the refs, I think, just figure 352 00:19:14,364 --> 00:19:15,774 that they're always going to be chopped out. 353 00:19:15,774 --> 00:19:18,854 If you're going to start calling everything, then it's just going to be 354 00:19:18,854 --> 00:19:19,914 nonstop. 355 00:19:20,634 --> 00:19:27,874 But what I like, OK, I'm not against diving, getting called if there is no 356 00:19:27,874 --> 00:19:31,434 contact and they're trying to make something out of nothing. 357 00:19:31,434 --> 00:19:34,806 But if there is a penalty on the other side, like if it's a 358 00:19:34,806 --> 00:19:36,446 a hooking call and embellishment. 359 00:19:36,446 --> 00:19:40,386 This is a bad example because honestly, Gio did sell it. 360 00:19:40,386 --> 00:19:46,386 Like if you're what they try to call is you're showing the ref something and 361 00:19:46,386 --> 00:19:49,276 trying to do their job by being like, oh, look, he hooked me. 362 00:19:49,276 --> 00:19:50,746 It's like, yeah, I see he fucking hooked you. 363 00:19:50,746 --> 00:19:52,626 You don't need to act it out. 364 00:19:52,626 --> 00:19:53,616 I'm not blind. 365 00:19:53,616 --> 00:19:54,746 I was going to call it. 366 00:19:54,746 --> 00:19:57,646 But because you did that, you insulted my intelligence and I'm going to send you to 367 00:19:57,646 --> 00:19:59,578 like that's what it feels like to me. 368 00:19:59,938 --> 00:20:06,268 Yeah, but players would be a lot less apt to try something like that if the calls 369 00:20:06,268 --> 00:20:08,234 were actually getting made. 370 00:20:09,518 --> 00:20:09,998 Exactly. 371 00:20:09,998 --> 00:20:14,128 This is my point is like, you can't call embellishment when you're officiating is 372 00:20:14,128 --> 00:20:15,138 so shitty. 373 00:20:15,138 --> 00:20:20,458 Like, it's so inconsistent and like, naughty, like Department of Player Safety 374 00:20:20,458 --> 00:20:25,308 aside, like just in game, roughing calls, like we saw, like I said, two high sticks 375 00:20:25,308 --> 00:20:27,818 missed, and then they're gonna call embellishment on this. 376 00:20:27,818 --> 00:20:32,278 It's like, you have missed things in this game, I need to make sure that you saw 377 00:20:32,278 --> 00:20:33,338 this happened. 378 00:20:33,338 --> 00:20:34,318 Fucking sue me. 379 00:20:34,318 --> 00:20:36,370 Like, I just. 380 00:20:37,198 --> 00:20:42,698 It's in theory and on paper it makes sense, but in the context of how this game 381 00:20:42,698 --> 00:20:47,032 is actually officiated, it's almost impossible to call it accurate. 382 00:20:48,130 --> 00:20:49,998 well especially with the speed of it. 383 00:20:49,998 --> 00:20:52,938 Yeah, and it comes back to all of it or none of it. 384 00:20:52,938 --> 00:20:57,938 Like, you know, it's it's same with like this offside review thing, like review all 385 00:20:57,938 --> 00:21:02,798 of them or none of them, you know, the Matt Duchene thing needs to just be an 386 00:21:02,798 --> 00:21:03,758 outlier at this point. 387 00:21:03,758 --> 00:21:06,676 Like, I'm so done with this. 388 00:21:06,914 --> 00:21:12,876 It should be an outlier, but it also never should have happened in the first place. 389 00:21:12,876 --> 00:21:13,466 Exactly. 390 00:21:13,466 --> 00:21:15,036 Oh my god. 391 00:21:15,074 --> 00:21:16,970 hahahaha 392 00:21:16,970 --> 00:21:18,070 a tracker in the puck. 393 00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:19,810 I'm done with wasting time. 394 00:21:19,810 --> 00:21:21,070 It's so frustrating. 395 00:21:21,070 --> 00:21:21,478 Anyway. 396 00:21:21,478 --> 00:21:25,318 trackers in the puck, but they can't start using them accurately because then they 397 00:21:25,318 --> 00:21:27,858 wouldn't be able to call goals back against the Leafs when it fits their 398 00:21:27,858 --> 00:21:28,642 narrative. 399 00:21:29,130 --> 00:21:34,142 Hehehehehe 400 00:21:34,142 --> 00:21:37,382 the Panthers, like it's happened to us. 401 00:21:37,806 --> 00:21:40,786 Yeah, that one that Morgan Reilly definitely scored. 402 00:21:41,226 --> 00:21:41,946 Yeah. 403 00:21:42,726 --> 00:21:43,926 Anyway, I digress. 404 00:21:43,926 --> 00:21:47,048 I need to breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe. 405 00:21:57,870 --> 00:22:01,830 my new meditation button, it gives me 10 seconds to just collect myself and feel 406 00:22:01,830 --> 00:22:02,900 pretty good. 407 00:22:04,462 --> 00:22:05,752 That's what I'm gonna use that for. 408 00:22:05,752 --> 00:22:07,622 That wasn't what it used to be for. 409 00:22:07,842 --> 00:22:11,556 But let's use it for what it is actually for, who was pretty good tonight. 410 00:22:13,154 --> 00:22:16,058 Um, well, if you take the obvious out of it. 411 00:22:17,518 --> 00:22:20,290 as we try to do with this segment. 412 00:22:20,290 --> 00:22:21,790 I'm gonna have to say Lily. 413 00:22:21,790 --> 00:22:23,990 We were shitting on him the other night. 414 00:22:24,330 --> 00:22:25,810 And you know what? 415 00:22:25,810 --> 00:22:30,306 He's so far, he's actually stepped up pretty well in Riley's absence. 416 00:22:31,566 --> 00:22:34,466 And yeah, OK, that's fair. 417 00:22:34,466 --> 00:22:35,726 I'll give him this game was good. 418 00:22:35,726 --> 00:22:37,936 The last one was bad and people were saying it wasn't. 419 00:22:37,936 --> 00:22:40,026 And I'm like, you didn't watch him then. 420 00:22:40,086 --> 00:22:45,466 I'm going to give it to Kaber because he has really been the one that's had to step 421 00:22:45,466 --> 00:22:50,716 into Riley's role and take the most minutes on and going in in overtime like 422 00:22:50,716 --> 00:22:54,266 that, like he's not the person that you would think the Leafs are going to play 423 00:22:54,266 --> 00:22:54,486 there. 424 00:22:54,486 --> 00:22:59,066 But because of where, you know, Brody and Geo and Lily's play has been, Timmons is 425 00:22:59,066 --> 00:22:59,790 out like who? 426 00:22:59,790 --> 00:23:02,040 Like we don't have a puck moving defenseman. 427 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,420 He's like the next closest thing. 428 00:23:03,420 --> 00:23:07,630 So the fact that this guy is kind of stepping out of his element and still 429 00:23:07,630 --> 00:23:10,710 holding it together, like, I don't know. 430 00:23:10,710 --> 00:23:12,628 I think I give it to McCabe. 431 00:23:14,472 --> 00:23:18,412 Lily's definitely a little more of a puck mover, but he definitely has not been 432 00:23:18,412 --> 00:23:20,682 playing the greatest this season. 433 00:23:20,682 --> 00:23:23,926 So that's why I had to kinda give the shout out to him. 434 00:23:23,926 --> 00:23:24,336 know. 435 00:23:24,336 --> 00:23:24,836 And I get that. 436 00:23:24,836 --> 00:23:28,726 I just think for as far as overtime went, he doesn't have Keith's trust right now to 437 00:23:28,726 --> 00:23:30,582 take that spot. 438 00:23:30,786 --> 00:23:34,326 Which is a little surprising because they were pointed out on the broadcast too, 439 00:23:34,326 --> 00:23:38,496 Lilly's basically his entire time in North America he's at Sheldon Keefe as his 440 00:23:38,496 --> 00:23:39,226 coach. 441 00:23:39,226 --> 00:23:40,762 Eight straight years. 442 00:23:40,782 --> 00:23:44,342 Yeah, and I feel like guys can fall in and out of favor, right? 443 00:23:44,342 --> 00:23:46,332 Like you make a couple of mistakes and they start benching you. 444 00:23:46,332 --> 00:23:47,902 We've seen that with a lot of guys with Keith. 445 00:23:47,902 --> 00:23:51,442 Like, I mean, he was laying into knives tonight and sat him for a shift. 446 00:23:51,442 --> 00:23:53,454 Like that one goal was his fault. 447 00:23:53,454 --> 00:23:53,770 So. 448 00:23:53,770 --> 00:23:54,260 -hmm. 449 00:23:54,260 --> 00:23:55,418 100%. 450 00:23:55,598 --> 00:23:58,668 Yeah, I mean, it's one of the things that I will give Keith. 451 00:23:58,668 --> 00:24:02,868 He's not afraid to, especially now that Dewis is gone, he hasn't been afraid to 452 00:24:02,868 --> 00:24:07,116 sit guys for shifts and say how he feels without walking it back. 453 00:24:08,910 --> 00:24:10,490 But, yeah. 454 00:24:12,130 --> 00:24:15,130 Yeah, but if you did it more often it might actually have an effect. 455 00:24:15,130 --> 00:24:19,040 Like if you actually did it when someone deserved it, not just when you're trying 456 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,452 to shut the media up. 457 00:24:20,494 --> 00:24:23,374 Well, it seems like he still can't talk about Mitch, but you know, that's another 458 00:24:23,374 --> 00:24:25,034 story in itself. 459 00:24:25,634 --> 00:24:28,254 Over time, though, William Nylander. 460 00:24:28,254 --> 00:24:29,674 Thank you, sir. 461 00:24:29,674 --> 00:24:35,674 King saves the kingdom, as I said, because my God, someone needed to. 462 00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:40,254 It was like the deserve to win a meter was shifting too far the other way. 463 00:24:40,254 --> 00:24:44,964 Like, honestly, it was never in the Leafs favor except for like that span between 464 00:24:44,964 --> 00:24:47,474 the first and third goal that Matthew scored. 465 00:24:47,594 --> 00:24:49,786 Other than that, I think like. 466 00:24:49,870 --> 00:24:53,520 They were playing pretty sloppy and Philly took advantage of it a lot. 467 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,780 Sammy saved their asses on a few breakaways that happened, turnovers out 468 00:24:57,780 --> 00:24:58,970 the ass again. 469 00:24:58,970 --> 00:25:00,930 Like I just. 470 00:25:01,050 --> 00:25:04,110 Oh, Willie, thank you for putting it home. 471 00:25:04,110 --> 00:25:05,290 Core four. 472 00:25:05,350 --> 00:25:06,502 Let's do it. 473 00:25:06,946 --> 00:25:13,516 Well, even all of them in overtime, like Marner and Matthews, I think they're 474 00:25:13,516 --> 00:25:17,596 starting to kind of realize that, okay, you know what, the glory would be nice to 475 00:25:17,596 --> 00:25:21,106 get the goal, get the beautiful play, but they're trying to be a little smarter when 476 00:25:21,106 --> 00:25:22,906 they're trying to go for it. 477 00:25:22,906 --> 00:25:26,286 Because especially with 3 on 3, if you miss the net, it's pretty much a 478 00:25:26,286 --> 00:25:27,636 guaranteed goal the other way, right? 479 00:25:27,636 --> 00:25:29,146 Because you're always outnumbered. 480 00:25:29,966 --> 00:25:34,326 which is interesting that they let Nylander shoot it because he is notorious 481 00:25:34,326 --> 00:25:37,866 for either scoring or missing the net entirely. 482 00:25:37,866 --> 00:25:39,842 So good on him for hitting it. 483 00:25:39,842 --> 00:25:42,472 Yeah, but he also had nobody on him. 484 00:25:42,510 --> 00:25:45,088 No, but that never matters. 485 00:25:46,732 --> 00:25:47,462 You kidding me? 486 00:25:47,462 --> 00:25:51,852 Like if that was if that was the case, soccer would have every ball go in the net 487 00:25:51,852 --> 00:25:53,442 all the time. 488 00:25:53,922 --> 00:25:56,382 Players choke when they have wide open nets. 489 00:25:56,642 --> 00:26:00,502 No, but honestly, Nylander and Marner. 490 00:26:01,602 --> 00:26:04,982 Did you come back to that in a sec? 491 00:26:05,362 --> 00:26:10,282 I think from coming back from an illness like Marner and JT both had pretty good 492 00:26:10,282 --> 00:26:11,332 games, Marner especially. 493 00:26:11,332 --> 00:26:15,402 I didn't notice JT as much, but Marner with Matthews, they were really buzzing. 494 00:26:16,046 --> 00:26:17,366 Matthew's definitely missed his buddy. 495 00:26:17,366 --> 00:26:20,596 He was not as not as noticeable offensively. 496 00:26:20,596 --> 00:26:22,076 It was just him and Newlander the other night. 497 00:26:22,076 --> 00:26:24,186 So it was good to see back. 498 00:26:24,426 --> 00:26:31,996 But with Ridley Greig, did you see someone broke down like other types of wide open 499 00:26:31,996 --> 00:26:34,062 net shots you could do instead? 500 00:26:34,274 --> 00:26:36,398 Oh, no, I didn't see that. 501 00:26:36,854 --> 00:26:40,184 Oh my God, I'll maybe try and find it for the end. 502 00:26:40,184 --> 00:26:44,194 But it was, he had one like the canoe where you're coming in and you sit on the 503 00:26:44,194 --> 00:26:46,694 puck and like ride it into the open net. 504 00:26:47,872 --> 00:26:49,528 Tiger Williams. 505 00:26:49,678 --> 00:26:54,938 Or if you're coming in and you stop it on the line and wait for the defender to get 506 00:26:54,938 --> 00:26:57,958 close and then, oh, I almost had it and tap it in. 507 00:26:58,558 --> 00:27:01,838 Just like every one of them I'm watching, I'm like, these are all going to get you 508 00:27:01,838 --> 00:27:04,422 jumped in an alley after the game. 509 00:27:04,768 --> 00:27:06,084 Oh, definitely. 510 00:27:06,444 --> 00:27:09,190 Speaking of, did you hear Torz's comments on it? 511 00:27:09,698 --> 00:27:11,290 Uh, no I didn't. 512 00:27:11,406 --> 00:27:14,706 Okay, so they asked towards about the situation, which is interesting because I 513 00:27:14,706 --> 00:27:16,066 thought, you know, it's already Thursday. 514 00:27:16,066 --> 00:27:19,356 I don't know why we're asking what John Tortorella thinks of this from Saturday, 515 00:27:19,356 --> 00:27:20,506 but. 516 00:27:21,306 --> 00:27:24,156 What do you whose side do you think he's on? 517 00:27:26,210 --> 00:27:34,750 Um, from what I've seen in the past of Torts, I think he would probably be on 518 00:27:34,750 --> 00:27:35,890 Riley's side. 519 00:27:35,890 --> 00:27:37,892 Like, you don't do that type of thing. 520 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,580 You would be correct. 521 00:27:39,580 --> 00:27:44,370 And his stance was basically that without naming names, but everyone in the comments 522 00:27:44,370 --> 00:27:48,780 is like, wow, that was very obviously against one of the two. 523 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:55,220 He goes on to say that a lot of the young guys are moving up the ladder too quickly 524 00:27:55,220 --> 00:27:57,850 and thinking that they deserve more respect than they have. 525 00:27:57,850 --> 00:28:02,010 And they're surrounding themselves with entourages that are hyping them up too 526 00:28:02,010 --> 00:28:05,139 much and making them think that they're bigger than. 527 00:28:05,174 --> 00:28:10,104 than they are and guys think that they're stars before they actually have anything 528 00:28:10,104 --> 00:28:11,154 to prove it. 529 00:28:11,154 --> 00:28:15,674 And I'm like, holy shit, this dude is ripping Ridley Creek a new one. 530 00:28:16,226 --> 00:28:25,326 Well he, he hated, uh, wasn't it like the, the Zegress and Sonny Milano goal? 531 00:28:25,906 --> 00:28:28,446 Like the Michigan pass or whatever the hell they're calling it. 532 00:28:28,446 --> 00:28:29,756 Like he was ripping that. 533 00:28:29,756 --> 00:28:32,610 Cause I think he was a panelist at that point, was he not? 534 00:28:33,902 --> 00:28:39,512 Yeah, that was his panelist year before they were like, okay, you are out of 535 00:28:39,512 --> 00:28:40,442 touch. 536 00:28:40,742 --> 00:28:42,842 We're gonna go a different direction. 537 00:28:42,842 --> 00:28:44,326 Thanks for trying though. 538 00:28:46,318 --> 00:28:48,718 Oh my god, I can't spell Ridley Greig. 539 00:28:49,218 --> 00:28:51,234 Oh, there's no E, that's why. 540 00:28:51,290 --> 00:28:57,270 on one hand, I guess you don't want to pull like a Patrick Stephane, but yeah. 541 00:28:57,270 --> 00:28:59,674 We talked about it the other day, you still can't do that. 542 00:29:00,790 --> 00:29:04,340 He said I guess the thing with the young athletes is sometimes you have to wait 543 00:29:04,340 --> 00:29:05,230 your turn, right? 544 00:29:05,230 --> 00:29:09,000 As far as gaining respect and not wanting everything right now and not expecting 545 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,250 everything right now as far as ice time as far as your contract whatever it may be 546 00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:15,500 sometimes it's good to just wait your turn and earn it. 547 00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:17,330 I think that's where athletes have changed. 548 00:29:17,330 --> 00:29:20,550 They have entourages around them that I think direct them the wrong way. 549 00:29:20,550 --> 00:29:24,080 The hierarchy of a room, the hierarchy of what it is to be a pro, the process you 550 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,900 have to go through as a pro I think has lost a little bit with the athlete now and 551 00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:30,702 it's something I miss terribly in being in the league for so long. 552 00:29:30,702 --> 00:29:32,042 Seeing where it's gone now. 553 00:29:32,042 --> 00:29:35,972 Great athletes, great skill, great speed, but the mental and understanding what it 554 00:29:35,972 --> 00:29:38,482 is to be a pro and respecting the National Hockey League. 555 00:29:38,482 --> 00:29:40,442 That's where I have some struggles. 556 00:29:40,462 --> 00:29:42,522 Holy shit, Torts. 557 00:29:42,522 --> 00:29:44,262 Well said. 558 00:29:45,122 --> 00:29:51,502 That's somebody who I just said out of touch and removed from the panel, just 559 00:29:51,502 --> 00:29:53,482 dropping bombs. 560 00:29:54,522 --> 00:29:55,526 Oh. 561 00:29:57,622 --> 00:30:00,448 Meanwhile, did you see the Morgan Criley shirt? 562 00:30:01,364 --> 00:30:03,742 Oh yeah, the one you posted in our group chat. 563 00:30:04,078 --> 00:30:09,438 Yeah, so it's actually a, here. 564 00:30:09,518 --> 00:30:11,148 Somebody posted it in the Leafs Reddit. 565 00:30:11,148 --> 00:30:16,148 It's actually a friend of a friend, I'll say, who is the one who makes these, which 566 00:30:16,148 --> 00:30:17,438 is pretty funny. 567 00:30:17,478 --> 00:30:19,258 Where's my button? 568 00:30:19,258 --> 00:30:21,118 How do I share this screen? 569 00:30:21,118 --> 00:30:22,998 How do I share my screen? 570 00:30:23,858 --> 00:30:25,998 Share screen. 571 00:30:26,218 --> 00:30:28,238 If you all haven't seen this. 572 00:30:28,238 --> 00:30:31,658 So if you know, 573 00:30:31,982 --> 00:30:37,482 Brian believes who does all the doodles and comics and drawings of leaf games. 574 00:30:37,482 --> 00:30:41,462 There is Doodle and Darryl, who basically does the same thing for the sense. 575 00:30:41,462 --> 00:30:43,622 And he made this shirt. 576 00:30:43,622 --> 00:30:48,642 So on our side, we've got Joey Ferg making motorious and they made Morgan Criley. 577 00:30:49,622 --> 00:30:51,922 Like, get the fuck out of here. 578 00:30:51,922 --> 00:30:53,562 It's so good. 579 00:30:53,562 --> 00:30:58,552 And like the NHL posting the the Valentine's Day card that says with like 580 00:30:58,552 --> 00:31:01,230 Ridley Greig, it says, I'll shoot my shot like. 581 00:31:02,190 --> 00:31:07,130 It's honestly I like what it's done for the entertainment of the game. 582 00:31:07,130 --> 00:31:09,930 Like it's gotten people talking about the right things. 583 00:31:10,010 --> 00:31:15,600 And on the other side of it, I guess we could talk about the NHLPA appealing 584 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,090 Morgan Riley suspension today, which is something that Southey and I said we 585 00:31:19,090 --> 00:31:21,390 probably wouldn't see happen just because it's five games. 586 00:31:21,390 --> 00:31:24,470 I mean, it's usually takes that long of a process anyway. 587 00:31:24,510 --> 00:31:27,434 But hey, if it means you get some money back. 588 00:31:27,434 --> 00:31:30,474 Apparently, Dra - Yeah, cause he needs the money. 589 00:31:30,514 --> 00:31:37,234 Apparently, Drager was saying that Betman's expedited the process. 590 00:31:38,154 --> 00:31:39,254 Apparently. 591 00:31:39,374 --> 00:31:44,384 So, they're thinking that if it does get, you know, dropped at all, then he might be 592 00:31:44,384 --> 00:31:48,320 good to go for, I think they said, Wednesday's game. 593 00:31:49,550 --> 00:31:51,970 So that would end up being what three games? 594 00:31:53,170 --> 00:31:54,830 Four, okay. 595 00:31:55,270 --> 00:31:59,260 So even if he misses four games and Betman reduces it to three, he would get the 596 00:31:59,260 --> 00:32:05,170 money from that fourth game back, which is what the PA wants to do, because it's 597 00:32:05,170 --> 00:32:09,490 their job to have a resume that they've always fought for their guys. 598 00:32:09,490 --> 00:32:10,020 And you know what? 599 00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:13,890 Marty Walsh is having a good year, so I'll let him keep going for the dubs. 600 00:32:15,030 --> 00:32:15,982 So. 601 00:32:15,982 --> 00:32:17,322 We might have Riley back. 602 00:32:17,322 --> 00:32:19,022 Is that the Anaheim game? 603 00:32:19,022 --> 00:32:20,334 I know who we're playing. 604 00:32:20,334 --> 00:32:21,354 Anaheim's Saturday. 605 00:32:21,354 --> 00:32:24,414 Wednesday should be Arizona. 606 00:32:25,198 --> 00:32:28,238 Yeah, Mondays blues, Wednesdays, Arizona. 607 00:32:29,038 --> 00:32:33,388 Yeah, it would be nice to have him back before we go Golden Knights, Avalanche 608 00:32:33,388 --> 00:32:38,968 Golden Knights, so he gets like some reps in after missing a week, but wishful 609 00:32:38,968 --> 00:32:39,318 thinking. 610 00:32:39,318 --> 00:32:40,282 We'll see. 611 00:32:42,478 --> 00:32:44,418 Anything else happen? 612 00:32:44,418 --> 00:32:46,198 Any other things? 613 00:32:46,198 --> 00:32:47,610 What else is going on? 614 00:32:47,714 --> 00:32:53,294 Um, I've been really swamped at work so I haven't been following much more than the 615 00:32:53,294 --> 00:32:54,454 Leafs lately. 616 00:32:54,714 --> 00:32:57,386 But you know, everything's picking up in the league a little bit. 617 00:32:57,386 --> 00:33:02,446 We talked last night about LA being on an absolute downfall. 618 00:33:02,446 --> 00:33:05,926 They lost 7 -0 the other day. 619 00:33:05,926 --> 00:33:07,806 I mean, we looked at the numbers. 620 00:33:07,806 --> 00:33:11,666 They're not as bad as you would think. 621 00:33:11,666 --> 00:33:13,976 Like, they've lost, I think... 622 00:33:13,976 --> 00:33:17,206 I think they've won 4 of 12 or something. 623 00:33:17,206 --> 00:33:20,936 Like, it's not good, but it's the way they're losing, 7 -0, 5 -1. 624 00:33:20,936 --> 00:33:22,386 Like, they're getting absolutely caved in. 625 00:33:22,386 --> 00:33:23,438 They can't score. 626 00:33:23,438 --> 00:33:25,118 They have no goaltending. 627 00:33:25,418 --> 00:33:29,238 Like it's that's kind of the story right now, at least for for me. 628 00:33:29,238 --> 00:33:31,918 Dallas just beat Nashville nine to two. 629 00:33:32,078 --> 00:33:34,098 Holy Frig. 630 00:33:35,238 --> 00:33:37,838 And Jamie Ben has donuts. 631 00:33:37,838 --> 00:33:40,238 Thanks, you useless plug. 632 00:33:41,238 --> 00:33:41,958 Ugh. 633 00:33:42,698 --> 00:33:46,698 Anytime

then we'll be back on Saturday. 644 00:34:05,550 --> 00:34:09,430 And, you know, maybe we'll have more of the gang and do a full play some games. 645 00:34:09,510 --> 00:34:10,050 Cool. 646
