1
00:00:10,188 --> 00:00:11,368
Come on.

2
00:00:13,952 --> 00:00:17,336
My Tina with my Tina grown.

3
00:00:17,336 --> 00:00:18,977
Somebody is sharing their screen.

4
00:00:18,997 --> 00:00:20,579
I know someone sharing their screen.

5
00:00:20,579 --> 00:00:21,740
I'm sharing my screen.

6
00:00:21,740 --> 00:00:22,681
Fine.

7
00:00:22,722 --> 00:00:23,842
Stop.

8
00:00:24,023 --> 00:00:27,166
Live intro.

9
00:00:27,447 --> 00:00:28,088
Jesus.

10
00:00:28,088 --> 00:00:31,971
I want to do one thing at a time here.

11
00:00:32,093 --> 00:00:32,761
Ayo.

12
00:01:11,816 --> 00:01:12,586
Ha ha ha!

13
00:01:13,461 --> 00:01:14,121
Go go

14
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,352
Hey!

15
00:01:22,888 --> 00:01:25,255
Man, you have all the St.

16
00:01:25,255 --> 00:01:27,039
Pat's swag going on, eh?

17
00:01:27,846 --> 00:01:30,282
Well my son's name is Patrick so...

18
00:01:32,388 --> 00:01:34,591
I mean, yeah, it makes sense.

19
00:01:34,591 --> 00:01:35,572
I get it.

20
00:01:37,015 --> 00:01:41,342
I guess the first question I'll ask you
is, which one do you like more?

21
00:01:41,342 --> 00:01:42,865
Do you like that St.

22
00:01:42,865 --> 00:01:44,788
Pat's one or this new shamrock?

23
00:01:44,788 --> 00:01:46,330
Unlock your shamrock St.

24
00:01:46,330 --> 00:01:47,531
Pat's Jersey.

25
00:01:48,192 --> 00:01:51,374
Personally I like the original one, the
one I have on better.

26
00:01:52,375 --> 00:01:56,239
It's probably not going to stop me from
buying one of those ones, but I do like

27
00:01:56,239 --> 00:02:00,923
this one better because it's more accurate
to the ones that were worn by the actual

28
00:02:00,923 --> 00:02:01,143
St.

29
00:02:01,143 --> 00:02:01,943
Bats.

30
00:02:02,412 --> 00:02:06,397
Fair enough, sticking true to the history
there.

31
00:02:06,417 --> 00:02:08,279
Sudley, what do you think of these new
ones?

32
00:02:08,752 --> 00:02:13,075
I kind of like the new ones more because
the clover is protruding over the flat

33
00:02:13,075 --> 00:02:16,278
green line, which I think they should just
do without because if they just had the

34
00:02:16,278 --> 00:02:19,760
clover, it kind of resembles the Maple
Leafs logo in the middle.

35
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:23,463
And I think that would look so much better
than the stupid green stripe right down

36
00:02:23,463 --> 00:02:24,283
the middle.

37
00:02:25,284 --> 00:02:27,285
Yeah, I have to agree.

38
00:02:27,285 --> 00:02:31,287
I know they're trying to incorporate some
more green into it, but it just seems I

39
00:02:31,367 --> 00:02:31,667
don't know.

40
00:02:31,667 --> 00:02:32,988
It's not the worst placement for it.

41
00:02:32,988 --> 00:02:36,530
Like if you were to put that stripe
anywhere else I would think it's very Out

42
00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:38,851
of place, but I don't know if you're gonna
put it there.

43
00:02:38,851 --> 00:02:44,674
I guess that's the only place I don't mind
the shamrock like i'm normally very eh on

44
00:02:44,755 --> 00:02:48,637
On st pat's jerseys part of that is
because the leafs seem to be absolutely

45
00:02:48,637 --> 00:02:53,399
garbage every time they wear them but that
aside I haven't normally been a fan of

46
00:02:53,772 --> 00:02:55,713
The jerseys, these ones I like.

47
00:02:55,713 --> 00:03:05,842
It's kind of in line with the new all-star
jerseys, where it's kind of that gen Z,

48
00:03:05,842 --> 00:03:06,662
how do I put this?

49
00:03:06,662 --> 00:03:12,767
Like bubbly, bigger, loud, kind of old.

50
00:03:12,847 --> 00:03:18,672
It's almost like going back to 60s, 70s
kind of styles, like almost like flower

51
00:03:18,672 --> 00:03:21,094
power type deco.

52
00:03:22,015 --> 00:03:23,135
Yeah, I don't know.

53
00:03:23,429 --> 00:03:24,295
I like it.

54
00:03:26,092 --> 00:03:28,654
I wouldn't mind if they went back to an
actual green one.

55
00:03:28,654 --> 00:03:34,059
We've had the white iteration now for,
this is like eight years, right?

56
00:03:35,730 --> 00:03:36,054
Yeah.

57
00:03:36,054 --> 00:03:38,510
maybe, uh, maybe green's hard.

58
00:03:39,593 --> 00:03:43,137
early thousands, they had a dark green one
that was just awesome.

59
00:03:43,137 --> 00:03:45,520
And the Leafs wore it with brown pants.

60
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,243
And it was awesome.

61
00:03:48,684 --> 00:03:50,904
That's pretty old school.

62
00:03:50,904 --> 00:03:54,785
Yeah, I think this is definitely like a
new modern take on the St.

63
00:03:54,785 --> 00:03:58,546
Pat's and I think that's like if you're
going to go that go all in on that and

64
00:03:58,546 --> 00:04:02,228
maybe next time go for like a historic
look with the brown pants and everything.

65
00:04:02,228 --> 00:04:05,068
But for what they're going for, I think
this works.

66
00:04:05,068 --> 00:04:09,470
I hate that they have to throw the milk
thing on there for this, even for this ad.

67
00:04:09,470 --> 00:04:12,651
Cause like, look, the ones you're buying
don't have that on it.

68
00:04:12,651 --> 00:04:15,411
So why can't they model the ones that
you're buying?

69
00:04:16,564 --> 00:04:20,175
Like is it a rule that if these guys are
wearing the jersey, it has to have milk on

70
00:04:20,175 --> 00:04:20,775
it?

71
00:04:22,148 --> 00:04:26,137
It's probably somewhere in the contract
with the sponsorship, right?

72
00:04:26,137 --> 00:04:29,625
Like the whole reason you're paying that
money to put your name on that jersey is

73
00:04:29,625 --> 00:04:32,968
because Austin Matthews and Mitch Marner
are going to be wearing it.

74
00:04:32,968 --> 00:04:35,682
Ho, they want $300 for these?

75
00:04:37,196 --> 00:04:40,267
That's pretty much going rate anymore for
a jersey with numbers.

76
00:04:40,428 --> 00:04:44,092
Holy moly a youth one is $200.

77
00:04:44,092 --> 00:04:47,875
Yeah, here's the hats

78
00:04:47,977 --> 00:04:51,080
currently in the process of trying to win
tickets for the game on Saturday because

79
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,803
Patrick's been bugging me to go to a game.

80
00:04:55,003 --> 00:04:56,104
And considering it's a St.

81
00:04:56,104 --> 00:04:59,967
Patrick's Day game, it would kind of be
fitting for it to be his first game.

82
00:05:00,364 --> 00:05:02,069
I have a lot of stuff here.

83
00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:04,334
Yeah, that would be really cool for his
first one.

84
00:05:05,219 --> 00:05:07,325
This is pretty sick, the Marley's St.

85
00:05:07,325 --> 00:05:08,018
Pat's Jersey.

86
00:05:08,018 --> 00:05:08,720
four.

87
00:05:09,725 --> 00:05:11,806
Nope, he's seven, he'll be eight in
August.

88
00:05:12,141 --> 00:05:16,806
So we have a nephew too, like we're
considering taking him to the 67th game.

89
00:05:16,806 --> 00:05:20,891
He's just turning six and like, we think
that's a great first experience for him.

90
00:05:20,891 --> 00:05:25,096
It's not too much with like 18,000 for a
sense or maybe no 14,000, whatever.

91
00:05:25,356 --> 00:05:28,359
But yeah, looking forward to taking him to
his first game.

92
00:05:29,444 --> 00:05:34,386
Yeah, I took Patrick to his first live
game, when was it?

93
00:05:34,386 --> 00:05:39,008
End of September, early October to a
London Nights game and he just absolutely

94
00:05:39,008 --> 00:05:39,948
loved it.

95
00:05:41,169 --> 00:05:45,111
Yeah, just had a riot and then we've been
to a couple Brantford Bulldogs games since

96
00:05:45,111 --> 00:05:45,491
then.

97
00:05:45,491 --> 00:05:51,614
So he's definitely getting a lot more into
hockey and wanting to actually watch it,

98
00:05:51,614 --> 00:05:54,970
not just asking to stay up so he can play
video games.

99
00:05:54,970 --> 00:05:58,376
Our move too is a take him to an afternoon
game, so if we have to leave in the second

100
00:05:58,376 --> 00:06:00,479
or third period, it's not so big a deal.

101
00:06:01,109 --> 00:06:02,268
No, exactly.

102
00:06:02,282 --> 00:06:03,123
smart.

103
00:06:03,425 --> 00:06:06,114
Yeah, and the good thing about being in
Ottawa is we get a lot of those afternoon

104
00:06:06,114 --> 00:06:06,894
games, eh?

105
00:06:07,157 --> 00:06:07,821
Ayo!

106
00:06:09,352 --> 00:06:11,003
Second tier, baby.

107
00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:11,671
Yeah.

108
00:06:13,616 --> 00:06:17,637
Okay, so moving on to the Leafs.

109
00:06:17,637 --> 00:06:20,857
Leafs late night where it's never too late
for the Leafs, presented by Inside the

110
00:06:20,857 --> 00:06:21,638
Rink.

111
00:06:22,478 --> 00:06:27,759
So, you know, how do I put this?

112
00:06:28,019 --> 00:06:32,341
I had a whole thing I wanted to, I had a
whole smart anecdote to like start this

113
00:06:32,341 --> 00:06:33,081
off.

114
00:06:33,501 --> 00:06:38,282
Here, we say a lot of the time with this
team, Two Periods does not win a hockey

115
00:06:38,282 --> 00:06:39,042
game.

116
00:06:39,743 --> 00:06:43,312
But tonight they proved the Two Periods
sometimes does win a hockey game.

117
00:06:43,312 --> 00:06:48,021
as long as you make them two really good
ones and you try to make the middle one

118
00:06:48,021 --> 00:06:49,664
not that bad.

119
00:06:50,025 --> 00:06:53,653
So that's my takeaway from tonight.

120
00:06:53,653 --> 00:06:55,415
Sometimes 40 minutes is enough.

121
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,741
Well, you like to see what they did
because historically the Leafs have been

122
00:07:03,741 --> 00:07:08,843
one of those teams that if they get a
break or anything like that, they'll throw

123
00:07:08,843 --> 00:07:11,443
a stinker or they'll not show up on time.

124
00:07:11,443 --> 00:07:15,164
Like how many times has that been an
accusation of the Leafs that they didn't

125
00:07:15,164 --> 00:07:18,905
show up on time, they didn't show up ready
to play and they're fighting, you know,

126
00:07:18,905 --> 00:07:20,486
from behind all night.

127
00:07:20,486 --> 00:07:22,026
That wasn't the case tonight.

128
00:07:22,026 --> 00:07:25,267
They came out ready to play, they attacked
it, they carried the pace pretty much the

129
00:07:25,267 --> 00:07:26,367
entire game.

130
00:07:27,568 --> 00:07:32,651
Yeah, I mean, even in the second where
they weren't playing so hot, they were

131
00:07:32,651 --> 00:07:34,172
still at least playing well defensively.

132
00:07:34,172 --> 00:07:38,134
They just kind of thought they could get
away with turtling for the rest of the

133
00:07:38,134 --> 00:07:43,137
game and kind of, oh, well, I mean, we
basically scored four in the first period.

134
00:07:43,137 --> 00:07:45,519
These guys suck with that much better than
them.

135
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:48,200
Let's just go for a skate for the rest of
the night.

136
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,241
We've earned it.

137
00:07:49,401 --> 00:07:53,683
And, you know, come on, guys, 20 minutes
is definitely not enough to win a game.

138
00:07:53,696 --> 00:07:58,018
That's just kind of what it seemed like is
they did at least a good enough job not to

139
00:07:58,018 --> 00:08:00,280
completely blow the lead.

140
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,943
But it was it was definitely I think a
little more than it should have let off

141
00:08:04,943 --> 00:08:05,783
the gas.

142
00:08:07,316 --> 00:08:08,873
Is that the vibe you got from it?

143
00:08:09,981 --> 00:08:11,838
I mean, what do you think?

144
00:08:12,784 --> 00:08:16,868
I mean, I feel, especially with Mitch
Marner out, the cascading effect that they

145
00:08:16,868 --> 00:08:21,373
have on the offensive line right now is a
lot to get used to, and I thought there

146
00:08:21,373 --> 00:08:24,556
was a lot of guys who were going pretty
good, they had their chances.

147
00:08:25,078 --> 00:08:27,861
I don't feel like they really led up too
much in this game, to be quite honest with

148
00:08:27,861 --> 00:08:28,501
you.

149
00:08:28,682 --> 00:08:31,965
Not to mention that Philly is a team who's
just on the wildcard cusp right now, like

150
00:08:31,965 --> 00:08:34,287
they're playing for their playoff lines
right now.

151
00:08:35,764 --> 00:08:36,104
Fair.

152
00:08:36,104 --> 00:08:38,547
I mean, I did like Domi and Bertuzzi.

153
00:08:38,547 --> 00:08:40,509
I think they had a great game again.

154
00:08:40,509 --> 00:08:42,571
I mean, these guys I've been asking
forever.

155
00:08:42,571 --> 00:08:45,714
Like, I didn't think again, we're halfway
through March.

156
00:08:45,714 --> 00:08:49,978
I was saying, you know, unless Bertuzzi is
going to turn it on for March, April, May.

157
00:08:51,581 --> 00:08:52,341
We'll see, I guess.

158
00:08:52,341 --> 00:08:52,922
And here we are.

159
00:08:52,922 --> 00:08:54,744
He turned it on for March, at least.

160
00:08:54,744 --> 00:08:56,445
So see how long that.

161
00:08:57,887 --> 00:08:58,525
Yeah.

162
00:08:58,525 --> 00:09:00,347
Matthews bank goals off him.

163
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,847
Oh my god, even though that one that
didn't count, that tip was disgusting.

164
00:09:04,972 --> 00:09:08,471
I was just gonna say that tip that wasn't
allowed, like, oh my god.

165
00:09:08,567 --> 00:09:09,914
Like, so good.

166
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:14,951
And what about like the fact that Matthews
chose pass there and with the absolutely

167
00:09:14,951 --> 00:09:17,594
disgusting feat on that first one to
Bertuzzi?

168
00:09:17,816 --> 00:09:20,076
Like you know the goal is always going to
be ready.

169
00:09:20,076 --> 00:09:23,867
He knows he's got the hands to actually do
that, despite what he's shown us this

170
00:09:23,867 --> 00:09:27,155
year, like in tight, but in the air, he
can really tip a puck.

171
00:09:28,437 --> 00:09:28,660
Yeah.

172
00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:34,684
you see the flex on that stick blade when
they slowed it down with the above head

173
00:09:34,684 --> 00:09:37,545
angle on the tip in for Brattusi's first
goal?

174
00:09:38,446 --> 00:09:42,929
Like if that was all his strength just to
keep that straight with how much that

175
00:09:42,929 --> 00:09:45,511
blade flexed, maybe he should tape it a
little bit.

176
00:09:46,764 --> 00:09:48,427
Just gonna say that comes down to the tape
buddy.

177
00:09:48,427 --> 00:09:50,678
He's got like two inches of tape on his
stick.

178
00:09:51,132 --> 00:09:52,853
One little piece on the top.

179
00:09:53,613 --> 00:09:56,796
But no, I think, look, they played a
really great first period.

180
00:09:56,796 --> 00:09:59,057
I just think they got a little comfortable
in the second.

181
00:09:59,057 --> 00:10:02,479
And then they decided, fuck it, let's just
ram these guys in for the third.

182
00:10:02,479 --> 00:10:06,462
And it's nice to see, I think, every now
and then you gotta take advantage of the

183
00:10:06,462 --> 00:10:09,324
fact that you're, you know, feeling it
offensively.

184
00:10:09,324 --> 00:10:13,507
And just instead of sitting on a three,
one lead, run away with it when you can,

185
00:10:13,507 --> 00:10:15,152
because you don't get to that often.

186
00:10:15,152 --> 00:10:17,474
You know who you can also thank for that
is Samsonov.

187
00:10:17,474 --> 00:10:21,778
He made some really big saves at really
key opportunities for the Flyers.

188
00:10:22,098 --> 00:10:24,321
Since coming back, he's about 12 and 2, 13
and 2.

189
00:10:24,321 --> 00:10:26,343
This guy has been completely unreal.

190
00:10:26,343 --> 00:10:28,004
His confidence is through the roof.

191
00:10:28,004 --> 00:10:31,327
He's everything that he wasn't before he
got sent down.

192
00:10:33,820 --> 00:10:38,303
And it's what you want to see, right?

193
00:10:38,303 --> 00:10:45,409
Like we talked about when he was first
waived, because he didn't really get sent

194
00:10:45,409 --> 00:10:45,729
down.

195
00:10:45,729 --> 00:10:47,391
He didn't actually go down to the Marlies.

196
00:10:47,391 --> 00:10:49,912
He just stayed with the Leafs and worked
with the staff.

197
00:10:51,774 --> 00:10:58,760
But we talked about it, that this is, it's
a weird situation and a weird scenario

198
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,023
that many teams, aside from the Leafs,
probably couldn't do.

199
00:11:03,212 --> 00:11:06,575
because they wouldn't be able to afford to
pay to keep him around to be able to find

200
00:11:06,575 --> 00:11:07,535
himself.

201
00:11:07,796 --> 00:11:13,241
And good on the team for being able to do
that and for wanting to do that and

202
00:11:13,241 --> 00:11:20,467
actually trying to get him to better
himself and to salvage his season.

203
00:11:21,796 --> 00:11:23,544
Yeah, and like all the more credit go...

204
00:11:23,544 --> 00:11:24,466
Sorry, go ahead.

205
00:11:25,094 --> 00:11:26,996
no, sorry.

206
00:11:26,996 --> 00:11:28,977
I definitely made it seem like I was done
there.

207
00:11:31,460 --> 00:11:37,245
Like for the team going through that with
the guy who was your, like your de facto

208
00:11:37,245 --> 00:11:41,169
number one last year, like that's just
another thing to add to the list of

209
00:11:41,169 --> 00:11:44,829
something that can galvanize you going
into the playoffs as a team, right?

210
00:11:44,829 --> 00:11:44,969
Yeah.

211
00:11:44,969 --> 00:11:45,489
A hundred percent.

212
00:11:45,489 --> 00:11:50,054
And like not to mention he's been hearing
that Joseph Wall is the next coming all

213
00:11:50,054 --> 00:11:51,796
year for how long it's been.

214
00:11:51,956 --> 00:11:56,221
And he's just been up playing him and
he's, I don't know if he's not paying

215
00:11:56,221 --> 00:11:58,483
attention to it or he's just rising above
it.

216
00:11:58,504 --> 00:12:00,165
Like that hasn't affected him whatsoever.

217
00:12:00,165 --> 00:12:02,367
And that's, I find all the more
impressive.

218
00:12:03,848 --> 00:12:04,468
It's great.

219
00:12:04,468 --> 00:12:08,970
I just I wish that they'd taken the same
care in trying to rehab wall when he came

220
00:12:08,970 --> 00:12:12,632
back instead of what seems like a rush to
get him back out there.

221
00:12:12,632 --> 00:12:15,293
And then as soon as he wasn't great, they
went, okay, nevermind.

222
00:12:15,293 --> 00:12:16,734
And they put Sammy back in.

223
00:12:16,734 --> 00:12:18,995
Like I'm, I'm glad Sammy's playing well.

224
00:12:18,995 --> 00:12:21,115
But now we're at a point where we don't
know.

225
00:12:21,256 --> 00:12:23,097
We don't have any confidence in our
backups.

226
00:12:23,097 --> 00:12:27,078
Like Jones wasn't playing great last time
we played him wall wasn't playing great

227
00:12:27,078 --> 00:12:28,439
last time we played him.

228
00:12:29,079 --> 00:12:29,452
Like

229
00:12:29,452 --> 00:12:32,955
good hockey, but no one's played
consecutive games until Tammy just did

230
00:12:32,955 --> 00:12:35,557
tonight, so they've been giving each guy a
chance.

231
00:12:35,738 --> 00:12:38,620
And I feel like in practice, they've been
talking to them like both guys, I think

232
00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:39,962
confidence are pretty high right now.

233
00:12:39,962 --> 00:12:42,263
I'm not sure if I agree with that.

234
00:12:43,264 --> 00:12:43,704
Fair enough.

235
00:12:43,704 --> 00:12:48,627
I just, I feel like a lot of the chatter
online was that, you know, walls cooked.

236
00:12:48,627 --> 00:12:49,808
Okay, I'm done with this.

237
00:12:49,808 --> 00:12:51,009
He's letting in bad goals.

238
00:12:51,009 --> 00:12:53,250
Like we rushed him back too early.

239
00:12:53,450 --> 00:12:54,531
Like I just

240
00:12:56,448 --> 00:12:58,610
That's what everybody always says with the
Leafs.

241
00:12:58,610 --> 00:13:02,895
Anytime anything just looks remotely
human.

242
00:13:03,136 --> 00:13:04,377
Oh, that's it.

243
00:13:04,498 --> 00:13:05,239
Everything's done.

244
00:13:05,239 --> 00:13:06,280
The team's trash.

245
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,301
They get rid of everybody.

246
00:13:07,301 --> 00:13:08,182
Like.

247
00:13:08,268 --> 00:13:10,695
You get whiplash being a Leafs fan online.

248
00:13:11,180 --> 00:13:11,741
100%.

249
00:13:12,544 --> 00:13:17,785
But it is still, everybody was putting
faith in, once Wal comes back, we're gonna

250
00:13:17,785 --> 00:13:22,507
be set with Sammy and Wal, it's gonna be
fantastic, we're gonna get the tandem

251
00:13:22,507 --> 00:13:24,068
together, finally healthy.

252
00:13:24,068 --> 00:13:28,629
And then he came back and everybody just
kind of felt like, oh, maybe it's not as

253
00:13:28,629 --> 00:13:31,770
hype as we have been talking about it
while he's been hurt.

254
00:13:32,050 --> 00:13:35,071
Like I think people will just get their
expectations up.

255
00:13:35,095 --> 00:13:36,136
Sammy's playing unreal.

256
00:13:36,136 --> 00:13:37,697
Like, Wall's been playing pretty good too.

257
00:13:37,697 --> 00:13:42,182
Like, granted he hasn't had that many
opportunities, but given his chance, I

258
00:13:42,182 --> 00:13:43,022
think he's gonna play great.

259
00:13:43,022 --> 00:13:46,506
I think we're in a great position right
now, goaltending wise.

260
00:13:46,506 --> 00:13:48,567
Better than we have been in a very long
time.

261
00:13:49,373 --> 00:13:50,220
I would agree.

262
00:13:51,372 --> 00:13:57,116
Okay, so there's just a few little things
that need to be worked out, which is some

263
00:13:57,116 --> 00:13:58,337
injuries, unfortunately.

264
00:13:58,337 --> 00:14:04,161
We've still got Marner down, and oh my
god, Yarncroak's shoulder obliterated

265
00:14:04,161 --> 00:14:05,081
tonight.

266
00:14:05,342 --> 00:14:06,142
Dudes...

267
00:14:06,843 --> 00:14:09,865
yeah, dudes played what, like five games,
maybe?

268
00:14:10,446 --> 00:14:11,387
I hate this.

269
00:14:11,387 --> 00:14:12,536
I hate this.

270
00:14:12,536 --> 00:14:12,977
Me too.

271
00:14:12,977 --> 00:14:14,100
He's a good playoff guy too.

272
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:16,847
Like he's someone you want in the lineup
at that point.

273
00:14:17,172 --> 00:14:18,673
He was somebody I almost forgot about.

274
00:14:18,673 --> 00:14:20,795
He'd been missing so much time this year.

275
00:14:20,795 --> 00:14:23,696
And, you know, finally he's back and he
was looking great.

276
00:14:24,317 --> 00:14:25,118
Damn it.

277
00:14:25,118 --> 00:14:25,799
This sucks.

278
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:27,000
He went down so hard.

279
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,623
Like that, it's not often that when they
show a replay, I actually like have to

280
00:14:31,623 --> 00:14:38,829
look away because I can't watch somebody's
like, like for me, it's knowing the months

281
00:14:38,829 --> 00:14:43,453
of rehab or at least weeks of how long and
like, you know, years that this is going

282
00:14:43,453 --> 00:14:44,254
to hurt afterwards.

283
00:14:44,254 --> 00:14:46,305
Like, I just can't watch that happen.

284
00:14:46,305 --> 00:14:49,627
Like his body motion, like it looked like
he was doing the hula hoop or something,

285
00:14:49,627 --> 00:14:52,029
like he was just writhing a little bit.

286
00:14:52,029 --> 00:14:55,651
So, you know, he was definitely in some
pain because that guy is pretty tough.

287
00:14:55,984 --> 00:14:57,145
Yeah, shit.

288
00:14:57,145 --> 00:15:02,130
So he's definitely done for an extended
period of time, hopefully back for

289
00:15:02,130 --> 00:15:02,670
playoffs.

290
00:15:02,670 --> 00:15:04,531
But who knows at this point?

291
00:15:04,671 --> 00:15:07,375
for a guy like Robertson to come back in,
right?

292
00:15:07,484 --> 00:15:09,206
Yep, that's what I was going to get to it.

293
00:15:09,206 --> 00:15:13,811
It definitely opens up the spot, but you
know, we're switching out for somebody

294
00:15:13,811 --> 00:15:17,957
with less time this year and less
experience in the playoffs, but hey.

295
00:15:17,957 --> 00:15:21,183
dynamic too, like he doesn't play a hard
game like Kelly can.

296
00:15:21,436 --> 00:15:22,868
Yeah.

297
00:15:22,868 --> 00:15:24,120
But at the same time.

298
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,243
hasn't been a single game that I've seen
Robertson play this year that I've been

299
00:15:28,243 --> 00:15:30,004
like, okay, you know, he needs to get off
the ice.

300
00:15:30,004 --> 00:15:34,407
Like the amount of time that he gets
played because Keefe never wants to play

301
00:15:34,407 --> 00:15:35,067
him.

302
00:15:35,248 --> 00:15:38,510
He actually plays great and he's
noticeable and he drives.

303
00:15:38,510 --> 00:15:41,291
He is effective at driving the play.

304
00:15:41,412 --> 00:15:43,895
And to your point, like if he's playing
hard, sorry, if he's playing hard minutes

305
00:15:43,895 --> 00:15:45,718
too, like he's not getting pushed off the
puck either.

306
00:15:45,718 --> 00:15:48,862
Like he's not exceptionally soft on the
puck or anything.

307
00:15:50,685 --> 00:15:52,287
This might be a good thing, who knows.

308
00:15:52,968 --> 00:15:56,570
And I think there's a lot less pressure on
him now that a lot of the other depth

309
00:15:56,570 --> 00:15:59,392
pieces and new pickups are doing better.

310
00:15:59,392 --> 00:16:02,315
Like in the beginning of the season when
nobody was scoring there was a lot of

311
00:16:02,315 --> 00:16:04,837
focus on, OK, well Robertson, you've been
around the longest.

312
00:16:04,837 --> 00:16:07,318
You need to put it together or bust.

313
00:16:07,418 --> 00:16:11,602
Now that, you know, Domi, Bertuzzi and
even Holmberg, McMahon, like all these

314
00:16:11,602 --> 00:16:12,963
guys are playing well.

315
00:16:12,963 --> 00:16:16,665
It kind of takes some pressure off of just
him to perform.

316
00:16:16,665 --> 00:16:19,807
So maybe it'd be good for him.

317
00:16:21,792 --> 00:16:23,682
Holmberg was playing great tonight too.

318
00:16:23,898 --> 00:16:24,304
Yeah, I did.

319
00:16:24,304 --> 00:16:24,924
Yeah.

320
00:16:24,924 --> 00:16:27,806
Oh, man, that release weird bounce.

321
00:16:27,806 --> 00:16:29,488
Like this was one of those nights.

322
00:16:29,488 --> 00:16:33,711
The Leafs a lot of the time are not lucky
with puck bounces.

323
00:16:33,711 --> 00:16:37,234
This seemed like one of those times where
like anything they threw in the right spot

324
00:16:37,234 --> 00:16:38,355
was going in.

325
00:16:38,595 --> 00:16:41,658
And it very rarely feels like that with
the Leafs.

326
00:16:41,658 --> 00:16:44,841
And like this one where it went off of, I
think it was a rebound that went up

327
00:16:44,841 --> 00:16:50,405
through somebody's skates and right to
Holmberg and he buries it like that's nine

328
00:16:50,405 --> 00:16:53,468
out of ten times this year, they've they'd
hit the post on that or something.

329
00:16:53,468 --> 00:16:56,356
But maybe six out of 10 times they try to
make a fancy pastor.

330
00:16:56,356 --> 00:16:58,723
Instead, they're just putting pucks
towards the net and they're getting

331
00:16:58,723 --> 00:17:01,831
traffic in front and good things have been
happening because of it.

332
00:17:02,285 --> 00:17:03,166
Fair enough.

333
00:17:03,346 --> 00:17:07,930
Oh, to that, we never talked about the
fact that Marner basically injured himself

334
00:17:07,930 --> 00:17:10,231
from missing a wide open net.

335
00:17:11,713 --> 00:17:16,277
And then completing a ridiculous
wraparound that turned into a barrel roll

336
00:17:16,277 --> 00:17:17,478
and landing on his own leg.

337
00:17:17,478 --> 00:17:21,261
Like, I'm sorry, there are ways that you
can hurt yourself in hockey.

338
00:17:21,261 --> 00:17:22,842
I have never seen that.

339
00:17:22,842 --> 00:17:23,963
Like somebody.

340
00:17:25,404 --> 00:17:29,847
Having literally a full wide open net and
going

341
00:17:30,744 --> 00:17:33,784
Actually, no, I should oh I thought too
long.

342
00:17:33,784 --> 00:17:35,105
I don't know what I should do.

343
00:17:35,105 --> 00:17:37,926
I'm just gonna go for a wrap-around Oh
wait, I'm not gonna do that.

344
00:17:37,926 --> 00:17:39,746
I'm gonna pull back and go for the shot.

345
00:17:39,746 --> 00:17:46,028
Oh, I don't have that either I don't have
my footing and down like I this dude is

346
00:17:46,028 --> 00:17:52,169
famous for like holding the puck too long
and making decisions like 0.5 seconds too

347
00:17:52,169 --> 00:17:57,431
late like we talked about he's able to
recover it a lot of the time This one holy

348
00:17:57,431 --> 00:18:00,432
shit to be able to blow your own leg out
like this

349
00:18:00,904 --> 00:18:04,195
Oooooooh, most leaf thing ever.

350
00:18:07,447 --> 00:18:07,828
Yeah.

351
00:18:07,828 --> 00:18:12,795
Well, thankfully he did it when he did,
and should have plenty of time to get back

352
00:18:12,795 --> 00:18:13,375
in.

353
00:18:13,411 --> 00:18:15,737
I hope so, it's just so annoying

354
00:18:15,737 --> 00:18:18,440
but yeah, don't rush him back.

355
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,120
Like there's no point.

356
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:22,804
We're not, we're probably not going to get
second place and we're not going to get

357
00:18:22,804 --> 00:18:23,384
fourth place.

358
00:18:23,384 --> 00:18:26,107
So we're right where we are right now.

359
00:18:26,147 --> 00:18:27,047
Give them time.

360
00:18:27,532 --> 00:18:30,273
Third place Leafs, as always, yay.

361
00:18:31,353 --> 00:18:34,035
Yeah, I think just let them sit, let them
get better.

362
00:18:34,035 --> 00:18:38,357
Let's pull some, I don't know, if this had
happened a week earlier, pull some caption

363
00:18:38,357 --> 00:18:41,558
anagons, but, c'est la vie.

364
00:18:41,558 --> 00:18:44,580
Oh no, Marner's out till the playoffs,
what are we gonna do?

365
00:18:45,118 --> 00:18:45,881
Yeah

366
00:18:47,692 --> 00:18:49,492
frees up a lot of money, just saying.

367
00:18:51,733 --> 00:18:55,494
Other thing that came up tonight that a
lot of people wanted us to talk about is

368
00:18:55,494 --> 00:18:56,834
the hand pass.

369
00:18:57,375 --> 00:18:58,615
Hand pass.

370
00:18:58,615 --> 00:19:03,477
So this has been a strange leaf topic
going all the way back to that Morgan

371
00:19:03,477 --> 00:19:08,338
Riley incident with Clayton Keller, I
think it was.

372
00:19:08,338 --> 00:19:13,039
Anyway, hand passes are silly and they
always make people go, why is this a rule?

373
00:19:14,812 --> 00:19:17,452
I mean, this one was pretty cut and dry.

374
00:19:17,452 --> 00:19:22,894
Like Matthews poked it out with his hand
to Bertuzzi, which led to the play that

375
00:19:22,894 --> 00:19:24,114
set up the goal.

376
00:19:24,514 --> 00:19:30,116
But it wasn't like within the, you know,
the half a second or two seconds before

377
00:19:30,116 --> 00:19:30,416
the goal.

378
00:19:30,416 --> 00:19:34,417
Like it was enough before it that it makes
people go, okay, like, is this really

379
00:19:34,417 --> 00:19:35,637
where we want this implemented?

380
00:19:35,637 --> 00:19:36,878
And I think that's what it comes down to.

381
00:19:36,878 --> 00:19:39,958
It's not like what the rule is.

382
00:19:39,958 --> 00:19:42,079
It's the spirit of it, you know?

383
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:44,519
Like, what are we actually trying to
avoid?

384
00:19:44,672 --> 00:19:45,534
happen.

385
00:19:45,919 --> 00:19:47,083
And is this it?

386
00:19:48,284 --> 00:19:55,554
Well, basically it is because the whole...

387
00:19:55,554 --> 00:19:58,016
and you gotta think of the wording, right?

388
00:19:58,838 --> 00:20:00,059
Hang on a sec, sorry.

389
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:02,139
Oh.

390
00:20:03,368 --> 00:20:10,711
Um, the wording of a missed stoppage of
play, right?

391
00:20:10,811 --> 00:20:14,652
And a hand pass anywhere, but the
defensive zone is a stoppage of play.

392
00:20:14,893 --> 00:20:19,494
Same as a high stick, same as offside,
whatever.

393
00:20:20,035 --> 00:20:27,438
And they wanted to get to a point where
you couldn't look at a play.

394
00:20:27,538 --> 00:20:31,240
And even if it's not directly preceding
it.

395
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,361
You couldn't look at a plane and be like,
oh no, there should have been a blown

396
00:20:33,361 --> 00:20:34,341
whistle there.

397
00:20:34,801 --> 00:20:35,902
And that should have stopped the place.

398
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:37,342
This goal shouldn't have counted.

399
00:20:37,683 --> 00:20:43,205
That being said, with what you're saying,
there has been times where it's been like

400
00:20:43,205 --> 00:20:45,986
two, three, four minutes after the fact.

401
00:20:47,307 --> 00:20:47,872
And there's

402
00:20:47,872 --> 00:20:48,453
the point.

403
00:20:48,453 --> 00:20:55,498
Like, is it, if the whole spirit of it is
you don't want a hand pass to create, like

404
00:20:55,498 --> 00:20:59,701
somebody passes the puck with their hand
to the guy who shoots it in like a very

405
00:20:59,701 --> 00:21:04,224
obvious, like a la Matt Duchesne's
offside, like it's gotta be so obvious

406
00:21:04,224 --> 00:21:05,685
that it's like, how did we miss that?

407
00:21:05,685 --> 00:21:08,607
Like, I feel like that's what most of
these rules are in place for.

408
00:21:08,607 --> 00:21:12,590
And so you can go back and say, you know,
those times when everybody's up in arms,

409
00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:15,371
like this needs to be changed, you have
the ability to.

410
00:21:15,572 --> 00:21:19,614
This seems a little crazy to me because
like, yeah, it's a missed stoppage and

411
00:21:19,614 --> 00:21:22,316
play, but you missed it.

412
00:21:22,316 --> 00:21:23,817
Keyword missed.

413
00:21:24,178 --> 00:21:25,579
Like it wasn't blown down.

414
00:21:25,579 --> 00:21:26,940
The play continued on.

415
00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:29,501
Everybody in the game went on as though it
didn't happen.

416
00:21:29,501 --> 00:21:33,504
If it has to be flagged down by a video
coach after the goal is scored, like

417
00:21:33,504 --> 00:21:36,686
literally no one playing cares that this
happened.

418
00:21:36,686 --> 00:21:38,332
Why is this an overturned goal?

419
00:21:38,332 --> 00:21:40,073
We have an offside challenge.

420
00:21:40,073 --> 00:21:43,355
I don't know if there's a high, like a
hand pass challenge, right?

421
00:21:43,355 --> 00:21:46,818
Like if we're starting to do this, are we
gonna challenge every little play?

422
00:21:46,958 --> 00:21:51,002
Like you said, but I think in the spirit
of the rule, I like to what Peter said, if

423
00:21:51,002 --> 00:21:56,106
it's going off your hand, if it's a last
contact from the puck until the stick,

424
00:21:56,106 --> 00:22:01,430
then that's the rule, but yeah, like I
agree with Johnny.

425
00:22:01,430 --> 00:22:03,971
Like we can't be challenging every little
thing like this.

426
00:22:04,508 --> 00:22:08,494
Yeah, like there's so many things where,
you know, if a penalty is missed, we don't

427
00:22:08,494 --> 00:22:10,937
go back and say, oh, well, the penalty
should have been called there.

428
00:22:10,937 --> 00:22:12,365
So we're going to go back and change.

429
00:22:12,365 --> 00:22:16,330
going back for trippings or like hookings
or anything like that?

430
00:22:16,330 --> 00:22:18,211
Because that's a slippery slope.

431
00:22:18,484 --> 00:22:22,705
Like it just seems like we're going back
in time because there was a mistake made

432
00:22:22,705 --> 00:22:28,548
by somebody by officials that absolutely
cannot make any mistakes unless it's they

433
00:22:28,648 --> 00:22:30,428
like exactly.

434
00:22:30,469 --> 00:22:31,069
Exactly.

435
00:22:31,069 --> 00:22:31,569
Thank you.

436
00:22:31,569 --> 00:22:36,571
So I understand that like it was called as
per the rules and this is how it is always

437
00:22:36,571 --> 00:22:37,011
called.

438
00:22:37,011 --> 00:22:39,192
But that's kind of beside the point.

439
00:22:39,192 --> 00:22:41,894
It's like Elliott Friedman made a comment.

440
00:22:41,894 --> 00:22:42,594
I couldn't find it.

441
00:22:42,594 --> 00:22:44,375
I want to pull the actual quote up.

442
00:22:44,375 --> 00:22:46,496
But I remember on 32 Thoughts before.

443
00:22:46,496 --> 00:22:50,238
I think it was either before this season
or last season, but he said that the NHL

444
00:22:50,238 --> 00:22:54,340
was looking to have less goals called
back.

445
00:22:54,340 --> 00:22:57,642
They want more goals to happen and less
things to interfere with goals being

446
00:22:57,642 --> 00:22:58,563
scored.

447
00:22:58,583 --> 00:23:00,724
And I have yet to see that happen.

448
00:23:00,724 --> 00:23:05,907
There's been way too many things called
back for reasons that are not in this...

449
00:23:05,907 --> 00:23:06,135
Yeah.

450
00:23:06,135 --> 00:23:08,159
one, if that's what you want to do, then
keep it at that.

451
00:23:08,159 --> 00:23:09,099
The rest?

452
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:09,701
Tough shit.

453
00:23:09,701 --> 00:23:11,784
If it's called on the ice, that's what it
is.

454
00:23:11,905 --> 00:23:13,767
Goal tender interference aside.

455
00:23:13,825 --> 00:23:16,939
Was this a coach's challenge or did the
refs go back and.

456
00:23:16,980 --> 00:23:17,924
coaches challenge.

457
00:23:17,924 --> 00:23:21,922
Yeah, that's their lines of the problem,
right?

458
00:23:22,284 --> 00:23:24,388
See, that's what I have a problem with.

459
00:23:24,388 --> 00:23:28,476
It's like, if we're just challenging the
fact that a whistle should have been blown

460
00:23:28,476 --> 00:23:32,965
at some point that would have changed when
this goal had been scored, like, what are

461
00:23:32,965 --> 00:23:33,946
we doing?

462
00:23:34,027 --> 00:23:34,218
Like,

463
00:23:34,218 --> 00:23:37,325
you want to do like what the NBA does in
the last two minutes, it's an automatic

464
00:23:37,325 --> 00:23:38,987
review for stuff like this.

465
00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:42,355
But other than that, it shouldn't be up
for debate.

466
00:23:42,468 --> 00:23:46,591
Yeah, like first period of a game for a
team that's already down like that.

467
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:47,151
I don't know.

468
00:23:47,151 --> 00:23:51,095
I get that it's kind of the difference
between them being, you know, writing off

469
00:23:51,095 --> 00:23:52,876
the rest of the game essentially or not.

470
00:23:52,876 --> 00:23:55,839
But come on, I don't know.

471
00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:57,319
That's my piece on that.

472
00:23:58,381 --> 00:24:01,263
And that's because Scott in our discord
asked about it.

473
00:24:01,263 --> 00:24:06,528
And it took me a while to come up with how
I felt about it, because like you guys

474
00:24:06,528 --> 00:24:08,169
said, it is it is how it's called.

475
00:24:08,169 --> 00:24:08,429
I just.

476
00:24:08,429 --> 00:24:10,631
I don't know.

477
00:24:10,631 --> 00:24:11,080
I don't like it.

478
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,803
called it on the ice, it would have been
fine.

479
00:24:12,803 --> 00:24:16,451
It's just the review, like the coaches
review, that's where it gets a little

480
00:24:16,451 --> 00:24:17,271
hazy.

481
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:18,603
Yeah, exactly.

482
00:24:18,603 --> 00:24:22,372
If it had been called in the moment, it's
the call as the rule is.

483
00:24:22,372 --> 00:24:25,881
But if it's a missed stoppage, like, come
on, we're not...

484
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:27,204
don't talk to me about that.

485
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:31,023
We have a lot of questions tonight.

486
00:24:31,023 --> 00:24:35,231
Do we want to go to those and see if we
get anywhere from that?

487
00:24:36,396 --> 00:24:37,042
Sure.

488
00:24:37,508 --> 00:24:40,009
Misadventures classic aisles opinion on
the new st.

489
00:24:40,009 --> 00:24:40,849
Pat's Jersey.

490
00:24:40,849 --> 00:24:42,730
Well, we gave it to you.

491
00:24:42,730 --> 00:24:50,273
Thanks for asking Ken 27 kill akanda at
Kilgore can does Willie have two giveaways

492
00:24:50,273 --> 00:24:52,394
for each goal It seems worse to me.

493
00:24:52,394 --> 00:24:53,774
Is there a stat?

494
00:24:54,995 --> 00:25:01,117
Yeah, I was praising his penalty killing
maybe not as public killing but just the

495
00:25:01,297 --> 00:25:06,740
ability to have him as a little offensive
weapon tonight was not that on the

496
00:25:06,740 --> 00:25:07,560
penalty kill for him.

497
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,280
He wasn't great there, gave up that one.

498
00:25:11,401 --> 00:25:15,042
Yeah, look, he's better defensively this
season than he was.

499
00:25:15,042 --> 00:25:17,603
He's been scoring more this season than he
was.

500
00:25:17,603 --> 00:25:21,564
I think he earned most of the contract he
was signed to.

501
00:25:21,564 --> 00:25:26,946
So look, I think this guy is only going to
get better defensively like we've seen

502
00:25:26,946 --> 00:25:27,506
with Matthews.

503
00:25:27,506 --> 00:25:31,007
The more he works on it, the more he's
comfortable with, the more he settles

504
00:25:31,007 --> 00:25:31,331
into.

505
00:25:31,331 --> 00:25:34,039
of games, where are you gonna use them?

506
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:35,703
This is where it's gonna get better.

507
00:25:35,852 --> 00:25:38,594
Exactly, when you lose Marner, like who's
the next up?

508
00:25:38,594 --> 00:25:41,075
He has to be able to take those spots.

509
00:25:41,075 --> 00:25:42,795
So, yeah.

510
00:25:44,817 --> 00:25:49,499
Candidlorean, who's playing with Matthews
and Marner game one?

511
00:25:49,499 --> 00:25:51,319
Beaner, I'll let you take this one first.

512
00:25:52,916 --> 00:25:59,823
Well, at this point you're probably
looking at Mitch and Burt.

513
00:26:02,588 --> 00:26:06,219
Yeah, I was gonna say it's probably for
Tuesday, but sadly, what do you think?

514
00:26:06,552 --> 00:26:11,257
I mean, yeah, if you're betting, Bertuzzi
is probably your odds on favorite.

515
00:26:11,257 --> 00:26:12,117
Nice.

516
00:26:12,117 --> 00:26:14,019
It's got to be second right there, right?

517
00:26:14,580 --> 00:26:17,322
Because you can put Bertuzzi in so many
other spots.

518
00:26:18,224 --> 00:26:19,465
You're very right about that.

519
00:26:19,465 --> 00:26:21,928
You, you know what would have been
interesting?

520
00:26:21,928 --> 00:26:25,271
If we had a little more faith in a guy
named Robertson this year, put him in off

521
00:26:25,271 --> 00:26:29,495
on that lineup, I would have loved to see
what he could have done on first line.

522
00:26:29,727 --> 00:26:33,852
In another timeline, he's there, you know,
like in another world where a couple

523
00:26:33,852 --> 00:26:36,235
things don't happen and a couple things
happen differently.

524
00:26:36,235 --> 00:26:40,159
He's right there, but it's just wasn't in
the cards for this kid.

525
00:26:41,057 --> 00:26:42,266
Yeah, yeah.

526
00:26:42,594 --> 00:26:46,059
And for the record, Nylander's at 37
giveaways this year.

527
00:26:46,984 --> 00:26:48,227
Okay, so...

528
00:26:49,253 --> 00:26:51,442
I mean, almost as many goals.

529
00:26:51,442 --> 00:26:51,864
What is he at?

530
00:26:51,864 --> 00:26:53,067
35 goals?

531
00:26:53,204 --> 00:26:54,922
He's at 35 goals, yeah.

532
00:26:55,044 --> 00:26:56,309
Okay.

533
00:26:56,309 --> 00:26:56,990
Well...

534
00:26:57,312 --> 00:26:58,817
Not every giveaway is a goal.

535
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:00,494
So let's remember that.

536
00:27:00,494 --> 00:27:02,039
37 giveaways.

537
00:27:02,208 --> 00:27:05,815
How many giveaways does Matthews have
versus goals?

538
00:27:05,864 --> 00:27:07,647
How many giveaways have led to a goal?

539
00:27:07,647 --> 00:27:09,931
Let's be real here for a second too.

540
00:27:10,604 --> 00:27:13,191
I don't know if Edge would show that, I
might have to dig into that a little

541
00:27:13,191 --> 00:27:14,052
deeper.

542
00:27:15,877 --> 00:27:17,179
I'm just trying to...

543
00:27:17,321 --> 00:27:20,487
NHL.com apparently doesn't show giveaways,
I had to go to a money puck.

544
00:27:20,658 --> 00:27:21,242
Oh.

545
00:27:22,024 --> 00:27:25,526
What a surprise NHL.com doesn't show
something negative.

546
00:27:25,588 --> 00:27:28,826
But yeah, you gotta think, I guess, Bird's
gonna play on that top line, right?

547
00:27:29,144 --> 00:27:30,525
Yeah, I assume so.

548
00:27:30,606 --> 00:27:35,812
I mean, it's crazy that if you'd asked me
two months ago, I'd probably say nice, but

549
00:27:36,774 --> 00:27:40,339
now it's kind of almost no question it's
gonna be Brutusia with how he's been

550
00:27:40,339 --> 00:27:41,119
playing.

551
00:27:41,256 --> 00:27:44,885
If he parks himself in front and like
Martin, it was digging pucks out to

552
00:27:44,885 --> 00:27:48,313
Matthews and Matthews is shooting pucks at
the net and he uses it right in front,

553
00:27:49,036 --> 00:27:50,318
that's a perfect trio.

554
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:59,367
Yeah, we have a question here from a very
special birthday boy, Mikey D.

555
00:27:59,728 --> 00:28:01,109
Happy birthday, Mikey.

556
00:28:01,530 --> 00:28:07,777
If the core five was candies, chocolates,
chewies, sour, anything, which candies

557
00:28:07,777 --> 00:28:08,938
would they be?

558
00:28:09,259 --> 00:28:14,003
So chocolate, gummies, sour.

559
00:28:16,016 --> 00:28:20,759
what else we saying like pretzels and
chips and then like

560
00:28:22,748 --> 00:28:26,311
Um, what's another thing?

561
00:28:27,112 --> 00:28:27,653
Sure.

562
00:28:27,653 --> 00:28:28,053
Okay.

563
00:28:28,053 --> 00:28:33,159
So who's what's what are we giving
Matthews?

564
00:28:33,159 --> 00:28:38,003
I know, um, knee lander is the uh, the
sour candy for sure

565
00:28:39,556 --> 00:28:43,870
Yeah, because at first it's going to hit
you a little bit hard, but eventually it's

566
00:28:43,870 --> 00:28:44,611
nice.

567
00:28:44,976 --> 00:28:57,967
Yeah, I would say Marner is probably the
chewy, like Swedish berry kind of candy.

568
00:28:58,752 --> 00:29:00,375
Sweet but really good.

569
00:29:00,375 --> 00:29:04,721
Matthew's is chocolate because he's sexy
and everything he does is just so elegant.

570
00:29:04,721 --> 00:29:09,258
has to be like a reescup or something,
something that's guaranteed to like be

571
00:29:09,258 --> 00:29:09,647
amazing.

572
00:29:09,647 --> 00:29:10,976
hits every time, right?

573
00:29:10,976 --> 00:29:12,699
Crowd pleaser, yeah.

574
00:29:13,082 --> 00:29:13,400
Yeah.

575
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,162
Domi's like what were those old ones like
Gobstoppers or something that was crazy

576
00:29:18,162 --> 00:29:21,204
tough and hard on the outside and then
super sweet on the inside?

577
00:29:22,545 --> 00:29:25,427
That's like Domi just it's filled with
cocaine instead of sugar because as soon

578
00:29:25,427 --> 00:29:27,267
as you get to it you're just gone

579
00:29:27,703 --> 00:29:29,690
Instead of one dollar, they're a hundred,
yeah.

580
00:29:30,736 --> 00:29:35,662
Tavares, I would say is like chips and
pretzels, you know, just...

581
00:29:38,326 --> 00:29:39,202
Classic...

582
00:29:39,202 --> 00:29:40,024
Yeah.

583
00:29:40,772 --> 00:29:42,158
Can't go wrong with him.

584
00:29:42,428 --> 00:29:44,581
Yeah, you can put them out at any party.

585
00:29:44,581 --> 00:29:46,672
It's like, ah, you know what, this works.

586
00:29:46,672 --> 00:29:48,606
Yeah, they've been working for a long
time.

587
00:29:48,606 --> 00:29:50,013
They're going to keep working.

588
00:29:50,851 --> 00:29:53,878
Bertuzzi's a couple M&M's that you found
in the back seat of your car when you were

589
00:29:53,878 --> 00:29:54,919
cleaning it out.

590
00:29:55,688 --> 00:29:58,019
An M&M, a Skittle here and there, you
never know where you're going to get when

591
00:29:58,019 --> 00:29:58,722
you put them in your M.O.S.

592
00:29:58,722 --> 00:29:59,302
ha

593
00:30:01,837 --> 00:30:03,617
One of them's an unmarked pill.

594
00:30:03,617 --> 00:30:05,020
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

595
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:07,263
There might be an ecstasy film there too,
yeah.

596
00:30:08,375 --> 00:30:10,487
And then Morgan Reilly, what are we giving
him?

597
00:30:10,688 --> 00:30:11,949
He's like a Twizzler.

598
00:30:12,392 --> 00:30:16,179
It's not amazing, not horrible, but
comforting.

599
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,749
Yeah, you can go to it.

600
00:30:19,798 --> 00:30:20,599
Bitter.

601
00:30:21,887 --> 00:30:25,179
every now and then you're like oh yeah you
know what I'm gonna go for the nibs

602
00:30:25,179 --> 00:30:25,721
are pretty good.

603
00:30:25,721 --> 00:30:26,462
Yeah.

604
00:30:26,891 --> 00:30:27,444
Ha ha.

605
00:30:27,444 --> 00:30:30,010
I had some nibs when I saw Dune 2 the
other day.

606
00:30:30,072 --> 00:30:31,744
Some nibs are bangin'.

607
00:30:31,744 --> 00:30:33,675
Did you get one of the popcorn buckets?

608
00:30:33,740 --> 00:30:38,383
I wanted one so bad and they weren't they
didn't have them and I was like, what is

609
00:30:38,383 --> 00:30:39,063
all this for?

610
00:30:39,063 --> 00:30:40,244
What are we doing here?

611
00:30:40,244 --> 00:30:44,306
If I can't if I can't get the worm popcorn
bucket.

612
00:30:44,306 --> 00:30:46,108
What has all of this been about?

613
00:30:46,108 --> 00:30:49,249
if you can't order popcorn with a sex toy
on top.

614
00:30:49,636 --> 00:30:54,705
Why did I watch five and a half hours of
this dumb space opera today?

615
00:30:54,705 --> 00:30:57,550
Because I hadn't seen the first one until
that morning.

616
00:30:57,550 --> 00:30:58,319
I watched doing a

617
00:30:58,319 --> 00:31:00,366
that much time if I'd watched Star Wars.

618
00:31:00,712 --> 00:31:04,053
Oh, dude, I felt like I watched six hours
of Phantom Menace.

619
00:31:04,053 --> 00:31:07,135
I swear to God.

620
00:31:07,135 --> 00:31:13,218
Anyway, was this Leafs when or was this
the Leafs birthday present for Mikey D

621
00:31:13,218 --> 00:31:14,459
from Ryan Willey?

622
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:15,039
Hell, yeah.

623
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:22,752
They they knew they heard all of us just
praying into the blue ethos for.

624
00:31:22,752 --> 00:31:24,439
He never really had to worry about it.

625
00:31:24,439 --> 00:31:26,407
He was just enjoying it the whole time.

626
00:31:26,407 --> 00:31:28,634
Like how often does that happen with Leaf
games?

627
00:31:28,736 --> 00:31:29,467
Yeah.

628
00:31:29,666 --> 00:31:33,635
Matthew's getting a 40 even strength goals
for the second season in a row.

629
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:36,903
Or for the second season in his career,
sorry.

630
00:31:38,024 --> 00:31:43,315
Labushkin got hurt but came back And then
got hurt again

631
00:31:43,550 --> 00:31:44,411
This guy's a warrior.

632
00:31:44,411 --> 00:31:44,531
Okay.

633
00:31:44,531 --> 00:31:46,412
Let's talk about this for a split second.

634
00:31:46,412 --> 00:31:50,315
Everyone's shitting on this pickup, but I
feel this guy's skill set is a little bit

635
00:31:50,315 --> 00:31:52,296
better than what he was here the first
time.

636
00:31:52,456 --> 00:31:56,940
And he proved on that last play, like he's
willing to take the hit to sacrifice to

637
00:31:56,940 --> 00:31:57,980
make a play.

638
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,301
This is game what?

639
00:31:59,602 --> 00:32:01,103
There's like 16 games left.

640
00:32:01,103 --> 00:32:01,863
This is not the playoffs.

641
00:32:01,863 --> 00:32:03,544
He's still making this type of play.

642
00:32:03,544 --> 00:32:07,207
That's sending a clear message to
everybody in this room that this is what

643
00:32:07,207 --> 00:32:08,287
it takes to win.

644
00:32:08,524 --> 00:32:10,715
And I'm so glad we have on our team right
now.

645
00:32:10,940 --> 00:32:11,780
Yeah, it's funny.

646
00:32:11,780 --> 00:32:14,941
He feels like one of those players that,
you know, when the Leafs turned somebody

647
00:32:14,941 --> 00:32:18,543
into a more serviceable NHL player than
they were when they got them, and then we

648
00:32:18,543 --> 00:32:21,104
just let them run off into the league
somewhere else.

649
00:32:21,104 --> 00:32:25,146
This is one of the only times where we've
gotten one back within, like, they're

650
00:32:25,146 --> 00:32:27,867
still being in that upswing.

651
00:32:27,867 --> 00:32:37,172
So like the Leafs gave him a higher,
what's the word, an increased role with

652
00:32:37,172 --> 00:32:39,374
playing with Morgan Reilly the first time
he was here.

653
00:32:39,374 --> 00:32:41,136
And then they ship him out.

654
00:32:41,136 --> 00:32:44,920
And so he's used to playing those bigger
minutes, gets known for that.

655
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,522
He plays more and more, gets more
responsibility.

656
00:32:47,522 --> 00:32:48,564
And now he's back here again.

657
00:32:48,564 --> 00:32:50,906
Like you said, he's better than he was
last time.

658
00:32:50,906 --> 00:32:54,990
I'm just hoping that he's not leaving
every game every time he gets hit because

659
00:32:54,990 --> 00:32:56,546
he's so banged up.

660
00:32:56,546 --> 00:32:59,289
Save it a little bit for the playoffs, but
like you can tell when he goes to the

661
00:32:59,289 --> 00:33:03,234
bench like he's hanging down He's just you
know recouping a little bit But like every

662
00:33:03,234 --> 00:33:07,359
guy goes he gives him a pat like it what
he is doing means a lot to this team

663
00:33:08,008 --> 00:33:11,193
Yeah, and he's had a couple of nice plays
offensively too.

664
00:33:11,193 --> 00:33:15,680
I mean, there was the one last game I
mentioned where he was diving to save one

665
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,664
at the line to keep a play alive that
ended up in a goal.

666
00:33:18,664 --> 00:33:21,067
So yeah, he's making it work.

667
00:33:23,188 --> 00:33:30,816
Like he's not, he's not like, he's not the
partner for Riley that we need long term,

668
00:33:30,897 --> 00:33:37,905
but he's at least a experienced defenseman
that's familiar with the team that's

669
00:33:37,905 --> 00:33:40,367
playing well that can throw hits.

670
00:33:40,468 --> 00:33:42,210
Yeah, exactly responsible.

671
00:33:42,210 --> 00:33:44,211
So don't hate it.

672
00:33:45,844 --> 00:33:48,347
No, and you guys really said it all there.

673
00:33:48,347 --> 00:33:51,751
Like, we didn't have to give up a ton for
him.

674
00:33:51,751 --> 00:33:57,177
He's not like the all-star that everybody
wanted, but at the same time, he's not

675
00:33:57,438 --> 00:34:01,203
Justin Hall, so we can plug him into the
lineup and not be afraid every time he's

676
00:34:01,203 --> 00:34:02,323
out on the ice.

677
00:34:03,552 --> 00:34:05,150
How is Halsey doing?

678
00:34:06,021 --> 00:34:06,790
Yeah, I don't care.

679
00:34:06,790 --> 00:34:07,940
He's not on the Leafs.

680
00:34:07,940 --> 00:34:10,645
Yeah, I could care less really about that
guy, man.

681
00:34:12,409 --> 00:34:18,422
Of all the Leafs players who's traveled
on, I really don't give two shits about

682
00:34:18,422 --> 00:34:19,683
the guy whatsoever.

683
00:34:20,444 --> 00:34:27,207
I'm just interested, you know, for him
because just because people were defending

684
00:34:27,207 --> 00:34:32,150
him so much I just want to see like, okay,
prove it to me like what has he been

685
00:34:32,150 --> 00:34:32,991
doing?

686
00:34:33,151 --> 00:34:35,672
When was his last game even?

687
00:34:35,772 --> 00:34:39,635
Because it looks like he's only played
he's only played 37 games this year.

688
00:34:39,635 --> 00:34:41,079
Is he hurt or benched?

689
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:42,830
at the end of the year and no one took
him.

690
00:34:45,344 --> 00:34:49,708
No, Detroit had a whole whack of healthy
defenders to start the season, so they

691
00:34:49,708 --> 00:34:52,670
were healthy scratching guys, just
alternating.

692
00:34:52,871 --> 00:34:56,654
They could play one, sit one, play one,
sit one, play two, sit two type thing.

693
00:34:56,817 --> 00:34:57,850
See what you got.

694
00:34:57,952 --> 00:35:00,010
He didn't play through all of February.

695
00:35:01,352 --> 00:35:03,390
So he might have picked up an injury.

696
00:35:04,316 --> 00:35:07,783
Anyway, he's only got five assists on the
year.

697
00:35:08,466 --> 00:35:12,695
And is a, what is that, a minus?

698
00:35:14,540 --> 00:35:15,561
He's just a frustrating player.

699
00:35:15,561 --> 00:35:18,947
Like he'll have a great penalty kill and
then he'll just make this bonehead

700
00:35:18,947 --> 00:35:21,531
decision that will inevitably lead to a
goal.

701
00:35:21,552 --> 00:35:25,158
So if he's doing almost one of those per
game, you can't have that on your back

702
00:35:25,158 --> 00:35:25,858
line.

703
00:35:28,316 --> 00:35:32,665
Yeah, anyway, just checking in on where
are they now.

704
00:35:32,665 --> 00:35:39,719
Question from TriL TML fan and van Marty
asks, what's your favorite color?

705
00:35:42,580 --> 00:35:44,247
Saturday it's going to be green.

706
00:35:47,460 --> 00:35:55,726
I, to over overthink the question, I mean,
it's been, yeah, purple.

707
00:35:56,267 --> 00:35:57,347
What shade?

708
00:35:58,716 --> 00:36:00,364
Like a nice dark purple.

709
00:36:01,845 --> 00:36:03,062
Like a royal.

710
00:36:04,116 --> 00:36:05,610
Like a Lakers purple?

711
00:36:05,886 --> 00:36:06,650
Yeah, I like his purple.

712
00:36:06,650 --> 00:36:08,698
Whatever Jimi Hendrix is fucking singing
about.

713
00:36:08,698 --> 00:36:09,660
Purple haze.

714
00:36:10,133 --> 00:36:10,879
Yeah.

715
00:36:11,180 --> 00:36:12,022
Thanks.

716
00:36:13,381 --> 00:36:18,227
I like blue, I like dark blue before, I
don't know, I guess I just grew up around

717
00:36:18,227 --> 00:36:21,552
my dad having to leave stuff around, just
got lots of blue.

718
00:36:21,552 --> 00:36:25,798
But lately I've been getting into green as
for my own wardrobe.

719
00:36:25,798 --> 00:36:27,660
I like greens lately.

720
00:36:27,881 --> 00:36:29,223
It's been nice.

721
00:36:29,223 --> 00:36:29,524
Yeah.

722
00:36:29,524 --> 00:36:31,052
Dude, it's hard to pull off.

723
00:36:31,932 --> 00:36:33,680
Not when you're a redhead, baby.

724
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,505
Hahaha!

725
00:36:34,860 --> 00:36:35,643
This is true.

726
00:36:35,643 --> 00:36:38,313
You're constantly Christmas colors with
green.

727
00:36:38,858 --> 00:36:40,480
One of the few things I can do.

728
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,103
I can't wear red or yellow or orange, but
I can wear green.

729
00:36:44,357 --> 00:36:46,274
A nice brown's not too bad either.

730
00:36:47,773 --> 00:36:50,174
like a dark blue, like a leaf blue.

731
00:36:50,694 --> 00:36:55,277
As a kid I hated orange for some reason, I
don't know why, like I could despise

732
00:36:55,277 --> 00:36:56,077
orange.

733
00:36:57,177 --> 00:36:58,398
I'm over that now.

734
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,781
Lately I love lime green, everything.

735
00:37:06,042 --> 00:37:09,940
Like the brighter more in your face green
the better.

736
00:37:09,940 --> 00:37:12,014
like green screen color.

737
00:37:12,948 --> 00:37:14,368
even more vibrant.

738
00:37:15,850 --> 00:37:19,873
Like I found a shirt when we were up at
the cottage last year that it almost hurts

739
00:37:19,873 --> 00:37:26,818
your eyes to wear it and I loved it and it
actually looked great but anything I have

740
00:37:26,818 --> 00:37:29,920
that's a lighter color typically ends up
getting some sort of stain.

741
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:35,083
I am a mechanic so oil and grease oozes
out of my skin.

742
00:37:35,896 --> 00:37:40,109
As you let us know in our group chat,
Peter made the big decision of making a

743
00:37:40,109 --> 00:37:41,332
tan hat.

744
00:37:41,795 --> 00:37:43,599
He was quite concerned about it.

745
00:37:45,742 --> 00:37:49,151
I saw it at lids and I liked it and I
didn't get it because of the color and

746
00:37:49,151 --> 00:37:52,219
then I kicked myself in the ass for three
months so I had to go find one online

747
00:37:52,219 --> 00:37:52,979
somewhere.

748
00:37:54,396 --> 00:37:59,266
I need to get a new Leafs hat and I need
you guys to help me pick one because I dug

749
00:37:59,266 --> 00:38:04,156
one out and it is so gross and yellow from
all the years I've worn it and my other

750
00:38:04,156 --> 00:38:06,064
one is too small so...

751
00:38:06,064 --> 00:38:10,550
I've watched this one several times and it
still has a unique stink that is hard to

752
00:38:10,550 --> 00:38:14,936
describe, but my girlfriend absolutely
hates it and I don't want to disappoint

753
00:38:14,936 --> 00:38:15,617
her anymore.

754
00:38:15,617 --> 00:38:20,063
So if yeah, same with Johnny, if you could
pinpoint us to a nice new hat, let's do

755
00:38:20,063 --> 00:38:20,803
that.

756
00:38:21,312 --> 00:38:23,393
Cause I was, was it Lids?

757
00:38:23,393 --> 00:38:27,115
No, it was like some sports like
memorabilia store that's in them all

758
00:38:27,115 --> 00:38:28,335
across the street from me.

759
00:38:28,335 --> 00:38:32,157
I was looking around and they only had two
styles.

760
00:38:32,157 --> 00:38:35,419
They always only have two and I know
there's so many out there but there's so

761
00:38:35,419 --> 00:38:36,719
many shitty ones too.

762
00:38:37,269 --> 00:38:40,432
So this can get into a bigger
conversation, and I love how we get into

763
00:38:40,432 --> 00:38:43,455
some of the most random shit on our
episodes.

764
00:38:45,298 --> 00:38:49,261
For at least 10 years, I've complained
that the Leafs never have any good hats.

765
00:38:50,103 --> 00:38:51,164
Like, they really don't.

766
00:38:51,164 --> 00:38:54,673
They don't, like if all like the major
sports teams especially, their hats are

767
00:38:54,673 --> 00:38:56,095
very much lagging.

768
00:38:58,324 --> 00:39:01,891
Like, my previous go-to, hang on a sec
here.

769
00:39:06,546 --> 00:39:08,518
effect people who can't see this.

770
00:39:10,228 --> 00:39:12,671
Yeah, this is great for people that are
just listening.

771
00:39:12,671 --> 00:39:16,122
The depth of error and visual display.

772
00:39:16,122 --> 00:39:18,106
Winter Classic one from 14.

773
00:39:18,224 --> 00:39:18,820
Oh, nice.

774
00:39:18,820 --> 00:39:22,410
a great one, because that looks like it's
from the early 1900s, right?

775
00:39:23,272 --> 00:39:28,839
Again, that was like the best hat I had
one was wearing it on our honeymoon, lost

776
00:39:28,839 --> 00:39:32,243
it down in Mexico and had to source out
another one.

777
00:39:32,932 --> 00:39:34,182
Yeah, absolutely sick hat.

778
00:39:34,182 --> 00:39:35,106
Great hat.

779
00:39:36,468 --> 00:39:39,550
But yeah, I've never been happy with
Toronto hats.

780
00:39:39,550 --> 00:39:42,893
So then that's why I was kicking myself
that I didn't buy the one I've got on when

781
00:39:42,893 --> 00:39:43,954
I first saw it.

782
00:39:43,954 --> 00:39:47,617
Cause you don't see something like that
too often with the Leafs, how it's like a

783
00:39:47,617 --> 00:39:51,519
fancy, nice, like letters for the name,
right?

784
00:39:51,968 --> 00:39:55,153
No, because like Charles is a pretty long
name to put on the front of a hat, but if

785
00:39:55,153 --> 00:39:59,439
you haven't done tastefully, just the
right font and size, it really works.

786
00:40:00,916 --> 00:40:06,447
Here's a quick look see like I don't mind
this for the same reason.

787
00:40:06,990 --> 00:40:07,833
It's kind of that.

788
00:40:07,833 --> 00:40:08,134
logo.

789
00:40:08,134 --> 00:40:12,392
Like I think all their logo hats are not
too bad because you can't go too wrong

790
00:40:12,392 --> 00:40:13,495
with them, but

791
00:40:13,652 --> 00:40:14,916
What the hell is this?

792
00:40:16,367 --> 00:40:17,411
What is this?

793
00:40:17,632 --> 00:40:19,634
That's what Matthews is wearing postgame.

794
00:40:20,740 --> 00:40:21,762
I don't hate it.

795
00:40:22,266 --> 00:40:23,790
I kinda like it actually.

796
00:40:24,312 --> 00:40:32,721
I They have it in this too authentic pro
training camp hat oh, so it's They're on

797
00:40:32,721 --> 00:40:38,827
sale, it's their Actual like they got
these for training camp

798
00:40:39,052 --> 00:40:41,314
Mm-hmm.

799
00:40:41,314 --> 00:40:42,416
They typically do that every year.

800
00:40:42,416 --> 00:40:44,879
They'll have a hat they come out with for
training camp, a hat they come out with

801
00:40:44,879 --> 00:40:46,039
for playoffs.

802
00:40:46,048 --> 00:40:49,174
This is so ugly, this is a retinas one,
the color.

803
00:40:49,516 --> 00:40:51,441
What is this shade of blue?

804
00:40:51,441 --> 00:40:55,791
This is the other thing is they can't
decide on what shade of blue they use.

805
00:40:55,876 --> 00:40:59,465
If they just stuck with it, like, if you
look at any New York Yankees hat, it's

806
00:40:59,465 --> 00:41:02,290
always the same shade, like it's always
the same.

807
00:41:02,676 --> 00:41:07,000
I'm looking at like this is different from
this is different from all of these.

808
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,002
All of them.

809
00:41:08,345 --> 00:41:10,332
What's that blackened signature in one?

810
00:41:10,332 --> 00:41:11,555
That's terrible.

811
00:41:11,848 --> 00:41:14,969
Yeah, this is some Mitchell and Ness one.

812
00:41:14,969 --> 00:41:15,230
I don't know.

813
00:41:15,230 --> 00:41:16,250
It's horrible.

814
00:41:17,211 --> 00:41:22,734
I don't mind this like loud toke one, but
I'm not looking for it to.

815
00:41:22,734 --> 00:41:23,974
Yeah, I don't.

816
00:41:24,795 --> 00:41:27,236
And what is this with the splash?

817
00:41:27,537 --> 00:41:28,617
What are we doing?

818
00:41:28,617 --> 00:41:30,819
These are in this stripe is horrible.

819
00:41:30,819 --> 00:41:32,880
What is this placement of the logo?

820
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:33,900
Oh, my Lord.

821
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:34,781
And look at this.

822
00:41:34,781 --> 00:41:38,403
This looks like it was made at like your
local print shop.

823
00:41:38,403 --> 00:41:39,236
You just asked.

824
00:41:39,236 --> 00:41:41,039
time, first day employee.

825
00:41:41,288 --> 00:41:44,836
Yeah, you asked them to just type Toronto
Maple Leafs on the front of a hat you

826
00:41:44,836 --> 00:41:46,399
bought from Giant Tiger.

827
00:41:46,399 --> 00:41:46,960
Like what?

828
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,583
I'm not spending 26—

829
00:41:48,587 --> 00:41:49,888
Yeah, we can do that.

830
00:41:50,050 --> 00:41:50,808
No, they can't.

831
00:41:50,808 --> 00:41:52,790
What are- Dude, you've opened a can of
worms.

832
00:41:52,790 --> 00:41:55,993
I didn't realize this looks like it's out
of a beer case that says Molson on it.

833
00:41:55,993 --> 00:41:56,674
Like...

834
00:41:57,976 --> 00:42:01,319
Bro, these hats are terrible!

835
00:42:02,092 --> 00:42:03,475
Oh, the tuque is great.

836
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,733
This thing's sick, the All-Star.

837
00:42:06,996 --> 00:42:10,059
the one on the down left to get drunk in
that one.

838
00:42:10,059 --> 00:42:11,739
till you get to the tropical one.

839
00:42:11,876 --> 00:42:13,638
I don't mind this...

840
00:42:14,862 --> 00:42:16,927
Oh my god, it's Roscoe washed.

841
00:42:16,927 --> 00:42:17,849
That's so funny.

842
00:42:17,849 --> 00:42:18,990
I want this.

843
00:42:19,953 --> 00:42:21,356
It's got the string on it.

844
00:42:21,356 --> 00:42:23,279
I'm actually I want this one.

845
00:42:26,384 --> 00:42:30,490
I don't like it, but it's got my name on
it.

846
00:42:31,152 --> 00:42:32,434
This is hideous.

847
00:42:32,434 --> 00:42:33,915
The palm leaves?

848
00:42:34,307 --> 00:42:35,678
That's the tropical one I was talking
about.

849
00:42:35,678 --> 00:42:36,264
Yeah.

850
00:42:36,264 --> 00:42:38,166
Tropicalia trucker.

851
00:42:38,166 --> 00:42:39,954
right on the beak is terrible.

852
00:42:41,012 --> 00:42:46,423
What the f- Oh my god, this looks like
they're trying to do the Raptors...

853
00:42:47,065 --> 00:42:48,488
like, font?

854
00:42:48,529 --> 00:42:51,455
I don't- who designs these?

855
00:42:51,455 --> 00:42:55,804
you're snow burning in like Florida or
Hawaii you wear that one.

856
00:42:55,804 --> 00:42:58,651
Oh, I don't mind the corduroy one.

857
00:42:59,374 --> 00:43:00,081
Egh.

858
00:43:01,032 --> 00:43:02,937
These are so strange.

859
00:43:02,937 --> 00:43:04,967
black one there is brutal.

860
00:43:05,116 --> 00:43:06,378
Yeah, this is horrible.

861
00:43:06,378 --> 00:43:10,525
It looks like it's music notes on like a
And what's this like?

862
00:43:10,525 --> 00:43:14,165
It looks like a shoelace Guys

863
00:43:14,165 --> 00:43:16,878
on the top of the beak is so terrible.

864
00:43:17,056 --> 00:43:18,425
Does this say Leafy?

865
00:43:20,816 --> 00:43:21,782
Yeah, it does.

866
00:43:21,991 --> 00:43:23,038
Maple leafy.

867
00:43:24,668 --> 00:43:26,605
I think it's supposed to be a curse of S.

868
00:43:27,477 --> 00:43:28,513
that says

869
00:43:31,568 --> 00:43:32,348
Are you?

870
00:43:32,588 --> 00:43:36,592
I think it is, but it looks like Leafy and
no, but that someone printed that and they

871
00:43:36,592 --> 00:43:37,953
let that go into production.

872
00:43:37,953 --> 00:43:39,094
This is crazy.

873
00:43:39,094 --> 00:43:44,018
And if you're just listening to this, go
to fanatics like and just go to the Maple

874
00:43:44,018 --> 00:43:46,080
Leafs hat section like these.

875
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,881
It is absolutely appalling how bad some
of.

876
00:43:49,881 --> 00:43:53,588
like a commentary on FNAX who are
absolutely the worst fucking company in

877
00:43:53,588 --> 00:43:55,551
the whole world, but yeah.

878
00:43:55,772 --> 00:43:58,353
What is this shark tooth?

879
00:43:59,153 --> 00:44:05,017
I'm sorry, Mitchell and Ness, you've got
some really nice and really ugly designs

880
00:44:05,017 --> 00:44:06,197
on some of these.

881
00:44:07,038 --> 00:44:09,319
These are crazy.

882
00:44:09,499 --> 00:44:10,159
Come on.

883
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:11,920
What is this white girl?

884
00:44:13,541 --> 00:44:14,782
Yeah, OK, I'm done.

885
00:44:14,782 --> 00:44:16,663
This is this is insane.

886
00:44:16,803 --> 00:44:19,524
But but this is this is the point.

887
00:44:19,524 --> 00:44:22,006
This is why we're asking for your help.

888
00:44:22,706 --> 00:44:25,407
Friends don't let friends buy ugly leaf
gear.

889
00:44:25,711 --> 00:44:26,367
Uh, that's.

890
00:44:26,367 --> 00:44:29,922
minutes on like crowdsourcing the hat for
me and you.

891
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,987
Nah, it was like three.

892
00:44:34,214 --> 00:44:34,496
Yeah.

893
00:44:34,496 --> 00:44:34,616
Ahhhh...

894
00:44:34,616 --> 00:44:36,498
Please give us a good option.

895
00:44:37,641 --> 00:44:39,403
We'll show you in the comments later.

896
00:44:39,988 --> 00:44:43,890
okay, so I guess let's make let's give a
point to this whole discussion.

897
00:44:43,890 --> 00:44:48,991
The, the whole, like, we've been waiting
for the P.P.P.W.H.L.

898
00:44:49,651 --> 00:44:54,453
launch, you know, the jerseys and the
logos and everything, because everyone

899
00:44:54,453 --> 00:44:57,593
wants branding, everyone wants to spend
money and support the team.

900
00:44:57,734 --> 00:45:04,555
This needs to be tightened up like there
needs to be more oversight by somebody on

901
00:45:04,928 --> 00:45:09,473
gear that is being put out under this
Leafs brand on Fanatics website which is

902
00:45:09,473 --> 00:45:13,919
now the official where you get all your
shit like they gotta have some sort of

903
00:45:13,919 --> 00:45:18,525
cohesive style and not just throw out like
Walmart level stuff that like literally I

904
00:45:18,525 --> 00:45:23,882
can go to Walmart for $5.99 oh man yeah at
least we can't see a

905
00:45:23,882 --> 00:45:27,688
rabbit hole, but like at least the NHL
stuff is not nearly like not even half as

906
00:45:27,688 --> 00:45:29,100
bad as the MLB.

907
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:29,843
you're not...

908
00:45:29,843 --> 00:45:33,132
When there's a fight on the ice, you don't
see the guy's dick and balls swinging back

909
00:45:33,132 --> 00:45:34,776
and forth in his fucking pants.

910
00:45:34,776 --> 00:45:35,037
Like...

911
00:45:35,037 --> 00:45:36,501
Oh.

912
00:45:36,501 --> 00:45:38,470
read his name on the back of the jersey.

913
00:45:39,620 --> 00:45:48,900
Yeah, it's just I wish I wish there was
more oversight and like management to this

914
00:45:48,900 --> 00:45:49,381
side.

915
00:45:49,381 --> 00:45:51,023
Speaking of jerseys, go ahead.

916
00:45:51,052 --> 00:45:53,501
Speaking of names on jerseys, good on
Molson.

917
00:45:53,501 --> 00:45:55,168
You see what they did for the PWHR?

918
00:45:55,168 --> 00:45:56,588
Hell yes.

919
00:45:56,657 --> 00:45:57,850
Names on the bottom.

920
00:45:58,716 --> 00:46:05,059
Yeah, so the whole part of the whole
campaign is that for years, the players'

921
00:46:05,059 --> 00:46:08,460
names have been hidden by their hair if
they have long hair and their ponytail.

922
00:46:09,461 --> 00:46:15,944
So the advertising will hide our name so
you can see theirs, right?

923
00:46:16,444 --> 00:46:16,945
Good on them.

924
00:46:16,945 --> 00:46:22,807
It's such a clever marketing campaign and
it works.

925
00:46:23,332 --> 00:46:26,095
It works for both the league and the
company too, right?

926
00:46:26,095 --> 00:46:32,483
Like a little furthermore, every time I go
to a bar or a restaurant, they're always

927
00:46:32,483 --> 00:46:34,125
playing PWHL games.

928
00:46:34,125 --> 00:46:35,927
It's all that's going on.

929
00:46:36,428 --> 00:46:38,170
They're having such a good inaugural year.

930
00:46:38,170 --> 00:46:39,431
It's insane.

931
00:46:40,140 --> 00:46:45,187
Did you hear about Debbie Harrison, the
super fan who was asking for, she said

932
00:46:45,187 --> 00:46:50,154
that Crayola needs a new colour, PWHL
purple, and Crayola Canada put out

933
00:46:50,154 --> 00:46:51,555
Powerplay purple?

934
00:46:53,083 --> 00:46:53,709
Nice.

935
00:46:53,709 --> 00:46:56,621
like, it's our unofficial PWHL color.

936
00:46:56,621 --> 00:46:58,807
So we didn't ask them.

937
00:46:59,273 --> 00:47:03,878
Do they come up all with new logos and
everything for next year, or is this going

938
00:47:03,878 --> 00:47:05,300
to continue on into year two?

939
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:06,387
on that, yeah.

940
00:47:08,884 --> 00:47:12,632
with how rushed everything was because
realistically they said they were doing

941
00:47:12,632 --> 00:47:14,515
this in like June and July.

942
00:47:14,977 --> 00:47:18,823
So the fact that they started the league
in January is mind-boggling.

943
00:47:19,012 --> 00:47:21,763
Yeah, that they pulled this together in
itself is unreal.

944
00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:24,566
The fact that they're announcing rules
mid-season.

945
00:47:24,566 --> 00:47:25,828
Ha ha.

946
00:47:27,028 --> 00:47:31,531
Yeah, like that being said though, I
really think they should have paid some

947
00:47:31,531 --> 00:47:37,276
respect and homage to some of the teams
that were successful.

948
00:47:37,677 --> 00:47:43,241
Like the Boston Pride for instance, that
area of Boston, the black and gold colors,

949
00:47:43,381 --> 00:47:48,966
like everybody that's not like that is
hockey in the Boston area.

950
00:47:48,966 --> 00:47:51,448
And the Pride had the best attendance
records.

951
00:47:51,448 --> 00:47:52,549
They were a great team.

952
00:47:52,549 --> 00:47:54,091
Like you could have kept with that.

953
00:47:54,091 --> 00:47:55,431
The Toronto six.

954
00:47:55,572 --> 00:47:58,035
People seemed to love that name in the
area.

955
00:47:58,056 --> 00:48:01,563
The jerseys were in the good, you know,
they were a successful team.

956
00:48:01,563 --> 00:48:02,445
You could have kept that.

957
00:48:02,445 --> 00:48:07,113
So I don't think you had to completely
start new with everybody, but who knows?

958
00:48:07,113 --> 00:48:08,185
Maybe we'll be surprised.

959
00:48:08,185 --> 00:48:11,247
starting this whole new league, you want
to give everybody the same chance, give

960
00:48:11,247 --> 00:48:14,589
them one year to figure out what they're
going to do for this and just uniformly

961
00:48:14,589 --> 00:48:16,150
come out as the same.

962
00:48:16,150 --> 00:48:19,593
I think if you had a couple of teams with
logos and some with not, that would have

963
00:48:19,593 --> 00:48:23,795
been a bigger issue than what we're
dealing with right now.

964
00:48:24,112 --> 00:48:28,513
One, and not to diminish the other leagues
that have come before this one, but like

965
00:48:28,513 --> 00:48:33,836
the talk of the PWHL has been like,
finally we have a cohesive women's

966
00:48:33,836 --> 00:48:34,776
professional league.

967
00:48:34,776 --> 00:48:39,178
Like, I feel like if you were carrying
over the names from those other leagues,

968
00:48:39,178 --> 00:48:43,740
it would almost, like people would easier
brush it off as still something that they

969
00:48:43,740 --> 00:48:46,581
knew existed that they weren't already
paying attention to, and they feel like

970
00:48:46,581 --> 00:48:47,662
they're behind on.

971
00:48:47,662 --> 00:48:50,863
I feel like when you start from scratch,
everybody feels like they're starting from

972
00:48:50,863 --> 00:48:52,276
square one together.

973
00:48:52,276 --> 00:48:53,756
fans and players alike.

974
00:48:53,756 --> 00:48:57,859
So you get to, you know, start cheering
for something from the from ground zero

975
00:48:57,859 --> 00:49:04,503
instead of like having, you know, maybe
fans coming over from a team from the past

976
00:49:04,503 --> 00:49:07,525
or like, you know, like you said, the
Boston Pride or Toronto six, like if all

977
00:49:07,525 --> 00:49:11,187
of their fans come over, it might be a
little hard for people in Toronto already

978
00:49:11,187 --> 00:49:14,189
to feel like they can get involved with
the team because it's kind of gatekeepy

979
00:49:14,189 --> 00:49:15,870
like, oh, you weren't here from the
beginning.

980
00:49:15,870 --> 00:49:17,311
Like we're here from the old time.

981
00:49:17,311 --> 00:49:18,517
Like the

982
00:49:18,517 --> 00:49:22,164
too, they don't have that much history
compared to all the other original 16, so

983
00:49:22,164 --> 00:49:23,706
what are they gonna do really?

984
00:49:24,860 --> 00:49:28,502
Yeah, I think just even the playing field
and make everybody feel like it's their

985
00:49:28,502 --> 00:49:30,702
league now from the start.

986
00:49:31,303 --> 00:49:35,926
But yeah, I I'm interested to see how the
branding and everything goes because

987
00:49:35,926 --> 00:49:41,649
they've done a better job than the NHL of
being current with everything and taking

988
00:49:41,649 --> 00:49:48,232
risks and, you know, not being tied down
by, you know, the hundred years of history

989
00:49:48,232 --> 00:49:49,833
and rules and stuff.

990
00:49:49,873 --> 00:49:54,355
So I'm hoping that means that we see some
jerseys closer to like

991
00:49:54,836 --> 00:50:00,066
those fun ones that you shared from some
of the junior leagues where, you know,

992
00:50:00,066 --> 00:50:02,771
there's less strict rules on what the
jerseys can look like.

993
00:50:02,771 --> 00:50:03,178
I don't know.

994
00:50:03,178 --> 00:50:08,568
this is their chance to set the precedence
and have their history to be made from

995
00:50:08,869 --> 00:50:10,592
what this decision comes from.

996
00:50:10,673 --> 00:50:13,678
So it's a pretty big decision.

997
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,829
Right, like how much can you do the Leafs
or the Philadelphia Flyers, Jerseys versus

998
00:50:17,829 --> 00:50:21,939
like, you know, starting from square one
with PWHL Toronto?

999
00:50:21,939 --> 00:50:22,559
Yeah.

1000
00:50:24,380 --> 00:50:25,800
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

1001
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,061
I'm going to buy some stuff.

1002
00:50:27,061 --> 00:50:31,304
I again would love like here's the just to
bring it back to what I was talking about

1003
00:50:31,304 --> 00:50:32,204
before with the gear.

1004
00:50:32,204 --> 00:50:38,007
We've seen so many artists like, you know,
Joey Ferg puts out fantastic Leaves gear.

1005
00:50:38,007 --> 00:50:44,131
Shout out like every time something
happens in like the fact that every time

1006
00:50:44,131 --> 00:50:48,293
something happens meme wise, I guess you
could say like anytime there's a current

1007
00:50:48,293 --> 00:50:49,674
going on with the team.

1008
00:50:49,674 --> 00:50:51,055
He's quick to put something out.

1009
00:50:51,055 --> 00:50:52,412
And I think that's important.

1010
00:50:52,412 --> 00:50:53,953
And the team should be doing something
like that.

1011
00:50:53,953 --> 00:50:56,795
He's filling a hole that the team is
lacking on, right?

1012
00:50:56,795 --> 00:51:01,519
Like if, you know, they were jumping on
everything that happened with the team as

1013
00:51:01,519 --> 00:51:06,843
it happens, that the fans are tuned into
and putting out merch that coincides with

1014
00:51:06,843 --> 00:51:08,305
it, they would make a killing, but they
don't.

1015
00:51:08,305 --> 00:51:12,528
They just put out this, you know, copy and
paste garbage like this.

1016
00:51:12,528 --> 00:51:16,971
This Buds jersey I have with the Matthew
stuff from Casey Bannerman, like when the.

1017
00:51:17,912 --> 00:51:21,896
Vancouver Canucks do their indigenous and
pride and all their

1018
00:51:21,896 --> 00:51:24,537
different jerseys, they have different
artists design them.

1019
00:51:24,537 --> 00:51:29,219
Like, I feel like there's so many people
out there that are doing better work than

1020
00:51:29,219 --> 00:51:32,621
the people that these teams are actually,
not even the teams are employing, but that

1021
00:51:32,621 --> 00:51:33,902
the NHL is doing.

1022
00:51:35,483 --> 00:51:36,924
Exactly, like who is doing this?

1023
00:51:36,924 --> 00:51:40,125
Like who is okaying all of these and
sending it out on the Fanatics website?

1024
00:51:40,125 --> 00:51:42,887
Like how much oversight does the NHL
actually have over this?

1025
00:51:42,887 --> 00:51:44,908
Like, are they just signing it off to
these guys?

1026
00:51:44,908 --> 00:51:49,590
Did they realize how much it was gonna
diminish their brand value by, you know,

1027
00:51:49,590 --> 00:51:51,744
having Fanatics just put all, like,

1028
00:51:51,744 --> 00:51:55,235
There's like 60 different hats from the
leafs on their site.

1029
00:51:55,235 --> 00:51:57,119
Like this is insane.

1030
00:51:59,824 --> 00:52:01,666
Ugh.

1031
00:52:01,666 --> 00:52:02,126
Annoyed.

1032
00:52:02,126 --> 00:52:06,450
And not a single, like, you know, thing
about Boreasalming that you can buy, and

1033
00:52:06,450 --> 00:52:09,974
not a single, you know, fun William
Nylander shirt you can get.

1034
00:52:09,974 --> 00:52:11,485
Like, there's, it's just...

1035
00:52:11,485 --> 00:52:14,211
Jay Beiner shirt, like, where is this?

1036
00:52:14,656 --> 00:52:16,079
I know.

1037
00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:20,126
But yeah, I just, I think it's crazy that
they don't have any fun with it.

1038
00:52:20,126 --> 00:52:23,171
It's just all lame designs.

1039
00:52:24,896 --> 00:52:29,619
When I see that, I think that's the key
word there, is they don't really have fun

1040
00:52:29,619 --> 00:52:30,439
with it.

1041
00:52:31,060 --> 00:52:37,944
Like there's been too much of the old
white man running everything, and they're

1042
00:52:37,944 --> 00:52:42,467
so afraid of kids or the younger
generations, you don't even have to really

1043
00:52:42,467 --> 00:52:48,051
say kids, getting involved and ruining
their idea of the sport.

1044
00:52:48,091 --> 00:52:53,074
And it's like, the game's not around for
the 50, 60 year olds anymore.

1045
00:52:53,074 --> 00:52:54,995
Like that's not where it's going.

1046
00:52:55,550 --> 00:52:56,108
It's not.

1047
00:52:56,108 --> 00:53:00,410
I love the history of the sport and I
respect it as much if not more than

1048
00:53:00,450 --> 00:53:01,951
anybody I've ever met.

1049
00:53:02,151 --> 00:53:06,153
But there's a reason those happen in the
past and players don't play like that

1050
00:53:06,153 --> 00:53:08,034
anymore because we're evolving.

1051
00:53:08,694 --> 00:53:10,695
Like we don't still live in caves.

1052
00:53:10,793 --> 00:53:14,542
Like you can respect what happened before
and still look forward to what's gonna

1053
00:53:14,542 --> 00:53:17,127
happen and like be a part of that
movement.

1054
00:53:17,948 --> 00:53:21,730
Yeah, look, next gen night is a good
sentiment, but it has to be more than like

1055
00:53:21,730 --> 00:53:24,111
one night every four months.

1056
00:53:24,172 --> 00:53:27,834
You know, like they gotta try to
incorporate more things to bring in a

1057
00:53:27,834 --> 00:53:28,415
younger crowd.

1058
00:53:28,415 --> 00:53:32,137
They gotta pay more attention to the
branding and the advertisements.

1059
00:53:32,137 --> 00:53:37,861
And I know, look, if you've been a fan of
the show for a while, I probably care more

1060
00:53:37,861 --> 00:53:41,384
and am more interested in the business of
the sport and the broadcasting and

1061
00:53:41,384 --> 00:53:44,145
everything than I am of the actual product
on the ice.

1062
00:53:44,145 --> 00:53:46,591
And I apologize, I get really into these
kinds of things, but...

1063
00:53:46,591 --> 00:53:47,780
each other out.

1064
00:53:48,288 --> 00:53:50,390
That's exactly it, you know?

1065
00:53:50,390 --> 00:53:54,050
So that's my two cents and what I wanted
to get in there.

1066
00:53:54,050 --> 00:53:55,032
like great on their hands.

1067
00:53:55,032 --> 00:53:59,880
They have this unique original branding
opportunity that they can all do for

1068
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:01,241
themselves right now.

1069
00:54:01,463 --> 00:54:04,487
So yeah, it's super interesting to see
what they're gonna do.

1070
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:06,843
Yep, 100p.

1071
00:54:07,571 --> 00:54:08,175
Anything else?

1072
00:54:08,175 --> 00:54:09,983
We're just under an hour here.

1073
00:54:10,448 --> 00:54:13,835
What are we thinking for the Leafs on the
rest of the way out of the season?

1074
00:54:14,704 --> 00:54:16,721
What is the schedule like?

1075
00:54:16,721 --> 00:54:17,422
here?

1076
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:20,945
Um, health.

1077
00:54:22,378 --> 00:54:23,255
That's, that's.

1078
00:54:23,255 --> 00:54:26,041
we're probably not going to get second
place and we're not going to get fourth

1079
00:54:26,041 --> 00:54:26,402
place.

1080
00:54:26,402 --> 00:54:27,142
So.

1081
00:54:28,166 --> 00:54:31,211
Jesus Christ, everyone stay healthy,
please.

1082
00:54:32,628 --> 00:54:35,743
Yeah, that's pretty much all you can
really ask for right now.

1083
00:54:36,332 --> 00:54:39,636
Two games against the canes, two games
against the caps.

1084
00:54:39,636 --> 00:54:40,478
It's pretty nasty.

1085
00:54:40,478 --> 00:54:42,863
You've got a couple of games to get the
Panthers, a couple of games against the

1086
00:54:42,863 --> 00:54:46,229
Lightning, the Red Wings Devils.

1087
00:54:46,992 --> 00:54:48,539
Yeah, it's not easy.

1088
00:54:48,539 --> 00:54:51,405
Three games against the Devils.

1089
00:54:51,405 --> 00:54:53,744
Our scheduling is very weird this year.

1090
00:54:55,016 --> 00:55:00,722
Last two games are Lightning and Panthers,
which I do kind of like because it means

1091
00:55:00,722 --> 00:55:05,243
that they're gonna finish the year in
playoff mode instead of getting.

1092
00:55:05,243 --> 00:55:06,850
sooner play the Marlies.

1093
00:55:08,968 --> 00:55:12,494
Like, yeah, you'd rather take like the
coyotes in the last game of the season

1094
00:55:12,494 --> 00:55:13,535
than the lightning.

1095
00:55:13,824 --> 00:55:18,350
Oh, I'd rather not play like any of my
fucking top tier players and just go into

1096
00:55:18,350 --> 00:55:19,092
the playoffs.

1097
00:55:19,092 --> 00:55:21,053
aren't either, right?

1098
00:55:21,053 --> 00:55:24,955
But I think it gives you a chance.

1099
00:55:24,956 --> 00:55:25,796
I don't know.

1100
00:55:25,796 --> 00:55:27,617
I guess if they don't, then it doesn't
matter.

1101
00:55:27,617 --> 00:55:31,077
But if both teams play, they're top guys.

1102
00:55:31,077 --> 00:55:31,818
Boston, right?

1103
00:55:31,818 --> 00:55:34,323
So let's just not get anybody hurt.

1104
00:55:35,447 --> 00:55:38,373
Last two games are going to, if you're not
ready by then, you're not going to be

1105
00:55:38,373 --> 00:55:38,814
ready.

1106
00:55:38,814 --> 00:55:39,475
So.

1107
00:55:41,780 --> 00:55:43,703
What sucks is it's all East.

1108
00:55:43,744 --> 00:55:46,650
It's all East teams and they've been shit
against the East this year.

1109
00:55:46,650 --> 00:55:47,831
That's what worries me.

1110
00:55:49,352 --> 00:55:55,356
Realistically, we're not dropping into a
wild card, and we're not getting first.

1111
00:55:55,356 --> 00:55:59,979
So there is a possibility you could get
second, but the chances of that are slim

1112
00:55:59,979 --> 00:56:01,139
to friggin' none.

1113
00:56:01,420 --> 00:56:04,301
And at this point, we don't even really
know who we're playing.

1114
00:56:04,662 --> 00:56:07,243
Florida and the Bruins are only separated
by a point.

1115
00:56:09,326 --> 00:56:09,908
Yeah.

1116
00:56:10,272 --> 00:56:12,853
So realistically, we could play either of
them.

1117
00:56:12,874 --> 00:56:15,916
And I mentioned on the last episode, at
this point, I don't even really care who

1118
00:56:15,916 --> 00:56:16,337
we play.

1119
00:56:16,337 --> 00:56:20,640
I'm still gonna obviously be cheering and
think the Leafs have a chance because you

1120
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,422
do have a chance against anybody.

1121
00:56:24,544 --> 00:56:28,187
I'm just, I'm kind of interested to see
what happens with the wild card races.

1122
00:56:28,187 --> 00:56:34,532
The fact that Tampa is this close to
potentially not making it.

1123
00:56:35,053 --> 00:56:38,535
Like that's something that's a little
surprising.

1124
00:56:38,892 --> 00:56:40,264
That's...shocking to me.

1125
00:56:40,264 --> 00:56:44,623
tied with Philly for third in the metro,
well, I mean third in the metro and third

1126
00:56:44,623 --> 00:56:44,932
in.

1127
00:56:44,932 --> 00:56:46,717
too, like heavily to Buffalo.

1128
00:56:46,717 --> 00:56:50,346
So they're like their spots not secure
whatsoever either.

1129
00:56:51,284 --> 00:56:54,782
Well Tampa's in the Atlantic Roscoe so
they would have to bump the Leafs out.

1130
00:56:54,782 --> 00:56:55,044
Yeah.

1131
00:56:55,044 --> 00:56:55,624
That's what I mean.

1132
00:56:55,624 --> 00:56:58,906
Is like they're tied with like the 76
points with the flyers.

1133
00:56:58,906 --> 00:57:04,808
So I mean, as long as they can stay above
the Islanders and red wings, like I don't

1134
00:57:04,808 --> 00:57:09,710
see them falling behind either of those
teams unless they absolutely fall apart.

1135
00:57:09,710 --> 00:57:12,510
But it's close, man.

1136
00:57:12,510 --> 00:57:14,997
race is going to be so, so close.

1137
00:57:16,448 --> 00:57:17,949
What's the west look like?

1138
00:57:20,048 --> 00:57:21,437
West is pretty close too.

1139
00:57:21,758 --> 00:57:25,431
yeah Vegas has a 4 point lead over
Minnesota for the last wild card spot.

1140
00:57:25,794 --> 00:57:29,183
I so hope Vegas doesn't make the playoffs,
god.

1141
00:57:32,032 --> 00:57:35,681
Yeah, but like Minnesota's four points
behind them.

1142
00:57:35,681 --> 00:57:35,922
St.

1143
00:57:35,922 --> 00:57:38,126
Louis is six points behind them.

1144
00:57:38,568 --> 00:57:40,271
Like they have a pretty good gap.

1145
00:57:42,345 --> 00:57:43,133
Mm-hmm.

1146
00:57:44,636 --> 00:57:47,080
Calgary shit, they're not gonna make it.

1147
00:57:47,362 --> 00:57:48,312
Fucking Calgary.

1148
00:57:48,312 --> 00:57:49,397
Calgary is sold.

1149
00:57:49,397 --> 00:57:50,379
They're done.

1150
00:57:50,848 --> 00:57:52,170
Yeah, Vegas is pretty safe in there.

1151
00:57:52,170 --> 00:57:55,053
It's less like Minnesota goes on a heater.

1152
00:57:55,053 --> 00:57:55,634
I don't think St.

1153
00:57:55,634 --> 00:57:56,855
Louis can do it.

1154
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,755
What I really wish we had was the one to
eight playoff format, but that's probably

1155
00:58:04,755 --> 00:58:07,603
for another podcast.

1156
00:58:07,632 --> 00:58:10,866
I mean last time we checked it, it didn't
change either, leave it like that.

1157
00:58:11,496 --> 00:58:13,256
Yeah, no, we have checked it.

1158
00:58:13,256 --> 00:58:15,077
I do agree, I like that better.

1159
00:58:16,118 --> 00:58:22,041
To be honest, I think it would be fun to
do a one to 16, but there's a lot of

1160
00:58:22,041 --> 00:58:24,022
travel complaints about that one.

1161
00:58:27,123 --> 00:58:27,515
But.

1162
00:58:27,515 --> 00:58:30,043
game or something for like the lower
teams.

1163
00:58:30,672 --> 00:58:32,061
How about the KHR?

1164
00:58:34,184 --> 00:58:38,553
I mentioned in the group chat, the first
round is over, so the second round you

1165
00:58:38,553 --> 00:58:39,895
cross conferences.

1166
00:58:42,128 --> 00:58:43,572
That's interesting.

1167
00:58:43,856 --> 00:58:45,842
That's a lot of travel.

1168
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,824
Uh, KHL does a ton of travel regardless.

1169
00:58:49,824 --> 00:58:52,151
games in the regular season though,
doesn't it?

1170
00:58:54,208 --> 00:59:00,550
Yes, and no I like the fact like yet again
with the history of the game I think

1171
00:59:00,550 --> 00:59:05,492
there's something to be said for the fact
that despite where the teams are Like

1172
00:59:05,492 --> 00:59:09,234
right now and what you think of the teams
at this point with the current format You

1173
00:59:09,234 --> 00:59:13,095
will never ever again see a Toronto
Montreal Stanley Cup final

1174
00:59:14,620 --> 00:59:16,550
No, but do you need to?

1175
00:59:18,260 --> 00:59:25,462
That's not, but I don't think that's in
the spirit of what like any professional

1176
00:59:25,462 --> 00:59:27,083
sports championship is.

1177
00:59:27,083 --> 00:59:33,985
It's like, who is the best like out of
each conference, if we've split each of

1178
00:59:33,985 --> 00:59:36,446
these sports into two, it's who's the best
out of each one.

1179
00:59:36,446 --> 00:59:39,900
Like, I don't think it, it goes against.

1180
00:59:39,900 --> 00:59:44,068
geography alone, like you're never going
to have a Toronto Montreal final.

1181
00:59:44,110 --> 00:59:46,794
But a conference final would be just as
good, I think.

1182
00:59:47,612 --> 00:59:51,475
The last time there was a possibility for
Toronto-Montreal final was 1993.

1183
00:59:53,237 --> 00:59:56,659
The year Betman took over because of the
way the divisions and everything were.

1184
00:59:56,659 --> 01:00:01,323
Now that being said, if you look at it at
the other point, what are sports?

1185
01:00:01,323 --> 01:00:02,684
Sports entertainment.

1186
01:00:03,766 --> 01:00:05,367
What would be more entertaining?

1187
01:00:05,367 --> 01:00:09,910
Having a final that could be
Toronto-Montreal or...

1188
01:00:12,744 --> 01:00:15,647
I guess Detroit, Colorado doesn't work
anymore because Detroit's back in the

1189
01:00:15,647 --> 01:00:21,313
East, but, or you could even say Detroit,
Boston, or New York, New York.

1190
01:00:21,454 --> 01:00:23,255
Like the possibility to have...

1191
01:00:23,470 --> 01:00:30,279
in both of us agree that would be amazing,
but maybe the present audience wouldn't

1192
01:00:30,279 --> 01:00:31,901
agree as much.

1193
01:00:31,901 --> 01:00:33,601
Maybe it doesn't mean as much right now.

1194
01:00:33,601 --> 01:00:38,229
ratings for Toronto-Montreal Final would
be a million times better than Toronto-St.

1195
01:00:38,229 --> 01:00:40,389
Louis Final, or Toronto-Seattle.

1196
01:00:40,389 --> 01:00:42,491
that's the conference final though.

1197
01:00:43,272 --> 01:00:47,136
That's the whole point is like you're
battling between like Toronto Montreal

1198
01:00:47,136 --> 01:00:49,599
conference final is to go to the Stanley
Cup.

1199
01:00:49,599 --> 01:00:52,402
Like that's what the battle is.

1200
01:00:52,402 --> 01:00:54,423
Like that would be the highest.

1201
01:00:55,025 --> 01:00:57,610
then everything's spent at that point.

1202
01:00:57,752 --> 01:01:02,401
You get to that high of that hardcore
series.

1203
01:01:02,401 --> 01:01:04,204
fan groups in the whole NHL.

1204
01:01:04,204 --> 01:01:07,630
So if you go to the NHL and if Montreal is
in there or Toronto is in there, your

1205
01:01:07,630 --> 01:01:12,259
numbers are going to be astronomically
bigger than they have been in the last 30

1206
01:01:12,259 --> 01:01:13,019
years.

1207
01:01:14,716 --> 01:01:15,720
I just think it's...

1208
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:16,974
it kind of is...

1209
01:01:16,974 --> 01:01:18,119
final probably.

1210
01:01:18,924 --> 01:01:23,227
I think the only reason that it skews this
way is because it's just a fact that the

1211
01:01:23,227 --> 01:01:28,771
Eastern Conference teams have more of a
fan base by number, I think, than the

1212
01:01:28,771 --> 01:01:31,653
Western Conference teams do, like on
average.

1213
01:01:31,653 --> 01:01:37,037
So like any, it's more likely that a
matchup between two Eastern Conference

1214
01:01:37,037 --> 01:01:42,121
teams is going to be more of a historic,
bigger fan base matchup than, unless

1215
01:01:42,121 --> 01:01:44,742
you're like Toronto and Edmonton.

1216
01:01:44,943 --> 01:01:46,483
And even then it's like...

1217
01:01:46,894 --> 01:01:47,116
Yeah.

1218
01:01:47,116 --> 01:01:49,840
I don't know, there's Toronto, Vancouver
again.

1219
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,181
Like there's a couple of matchups there
that would still be.

1220
01:01:52,181 --> 01:01:57,672
nevermind the crossover, like NBA goes
7-10, they have a play-in tournament.

1221
01:01:57,994 --> 01:02:00,619
How would you feel about that, the NHL
doing that?

1222
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:09,925
Hockey is such a different game for
one-off games though.

1223
01:02:09,925 --> 01:02:11,897
is it a two or three or is it a one off?

1224
01:02:15,024 --> 01:02:18,254
Um, I think it's a two or three.

1225
01:02:23,614 --> 01:02:24,333
I think it is.

1226
01:02:24,333 --> 01:02:28,822
I play in stuff I've never been able to
get behind it personally.

1227
01:02:29,745 --> 01:02:35,455
Um, cause then you're diminishing all the
work you did in the regular season.

1228
01:02:36,288 --> 01:02:36,888
I...

1229
01:02:37,090 --> 01:02:38,211
yeah, that's...

1230
01:02:38,253 --> 01:02:39,245
that's hard to ignore.

1231
01:02:39,245 --> 01:02:42,489
can do is 7th place, then that's on you.

1232
01:02:42,489 --> 01:02:43,330
Like...

1233
01:02:43,976 --> 01:02:45,701
Because then you go from seven to ten,
right?

1234
01:02:45,701 --> 01:02:49,371
So that is, that can be a pretty big gap
too, depending on the season.

1235
01:02:51,004 --> 01:02:57,050
And I think it adds more excitement and
more opportunity for fans to stay engaged

1236
01:02:57,050 --> 01:03:01,355
longer, because I think the problem with
the format of the NHL playoffs is fans

1237
01:03:01,355 --> 01:03:03,557
start to check out like pretty early.

1238
01:03:03,557 --> 01:03:06,180
I mean, look, the Chicago Blackhawks are
already mathematically out of the

1239
01:03:06,180 --> 01:03:07,061
playoffs.

1240
01:03:07,061 --> 01:03:09,092
Like, yes, they're shit, but.

1241
01:03:09,092 --> 01:03:12,343
three games possibly for a couple teams
then.

1242
01:03:12,648 --> 01:03:17,989
Yeah, I think in hockey, the question of
injuries comes up by adding extra games

1243
01:03:17,989 --> 01:03:18,910
like that.

1244
01:03:19,610 --> 01:03:22,631
Also, it's games that players aren't paid
for because it's postseason.

1245
01:03:22,631 --> 01:03:24,571
You have to negotiate it with them again.

1246
01:03:25,052 --> 01:03:29,453
But I think as far as fans and
entertainment and selling the sport goes,

1247
01:03:29,453 --> 01:03:33,815
it's adding games at an important time and
it's adding games for teams that would

1248
01:03:33,815 --> 01:03:36,135
otherwise just be waiting for next season.

1249
01:03:40,014 --> 01:03:41,718
Beard, beard strongly disagrees.

1250
01:03:42,889 --> 01:03:44,940
I still don't like the whole plan idea.

1251
01:03:44,940 --> 01:03:45,557
The season's-

1252
01:03:45,557 --> 01:03:46,278
it more.

1253
01:03:46,278 --> 01:03:49,841
I kind of find it's interesting what the
NBA is doing with this right now,

1254
01:03:49,841 --> 01:03:54,285
especially with leagues that have 32 teams
and you're talking about, maybe you have

1255
01:03:54,285 --> 01:03:56,427
34 teams or something like that.

1256
01:03:56,427 --> 01:03:58,829
So maybe more than half the teams are not
making the playoffs.

1257
01:03:58,829 --> 01:04:05,616
Do you have your regular seats and winners
move on and everyone plays around it to

1258
01:04:05,616 --> 01:04:06,676
get to them?

1259
01:04:06,817 --> 01:04:08,298
It's a very, very interesting thing.

1260
01:04:08,298 --> 01:04:09,779
Like we're going through right now.

1261
01:04:11,464 --> 01:04:16,067
Yeah, I think the next CBA needs to
include an overhaul of the playoff format

1262
01:04:16,067 --> 01:04:19,610
because I think there's been a lot of
complaints about this current one.

1263
01:04:19,610 --> 01:04:22,593
I mean, look, if we're going Eastern
Conference one through eight, the Leafs

1264
01:04:22,593 --> 01:04:24,454
would play the Carolina Hurricanes.

1265
01:04:25,455 --> 01:04:26,155
Like

1266
01:04:27,784 --> 01:04:30,974
It's now pretty different last time we
checked it would have been exactly the

1267
01:04:30,974 --> 01:04:33,666
same but Closer we got

1268
01:04:33,666 --> 01:04:37,699
doing with this league for playoff
formats?

1269
01:04:38,784 --> 01:04:40,365
Well, oh, for playoff formats?

1270
01:04:40,365 --> 01:04:43,169
Oh, okay.

1271
01:04:43,169 --> 01:04:46,753
Honestly, I would love to do one to 16.

1272
01:04:47,634 --> 01:04:51,915
Give it a shot just for the pure chaos
factor of it.

1273
01:04:51,915 --> 01:04:53,039
Madness type of thing, right?

1274
01:04:53,039 --> 01:04:54,603
Like anything can happen.

1275
01:04:55,328 --> 01:04:59,232
So your first round would be the Florida
Panthers versus Minnesota Wild.

1276
01:05:00,355 --> 01:05:02,858
Boston Bruins versus the Philadelphia
Flyers.

1277
01:05:02,858 --> 01:05:04,740
That would be a tough series.

1278
01:05:06,183 --> 01:05:07,365
Vancouver Tampa.

1279
01:05:07,365 --> 01:05:08,687
Like these would be great series.

1280
01:05:08,687 --> 01:05:10,328
New York Golden Knights.

1281
01:05:10,830 --> 01:05:12,179
Kings and Avalanche.

1282
01:05:12,179 --> 01:05:12,963
it'd be...

1283
01:05:12,963 --> 01:05:14,810
I don't disagree, it'd be crazy.

1284
01:05:16,037 --> 01:05:17,525
Oh yeah, 1 to 16.

1285
01:05:18,088 --> 01:05:23,077
Oh my god, you're a madman, a madman!

1286
01:05:23,077 --> 01:05:25,888
the funny part is Toronto would play
Carolina.

1287
01:05:25,888 --> 01:05:26,736
Hehehe

1288
01:05:28,536 --> 01:05:35,972
You can't have a great juggernaut in the
regular season play fucking Tampa Bay 16

1289
01:05:35,972 --> 01:05:36,852
plays.

1290
01:05:37,194 --> 01:05:38,295
You can't have that.

1291
01:05:40,410 --> 01:05:42,163
Tampa's in 14th right now.

1292
01:05:42,163 --> 01:05:44,214
You said was it Vancouver versus Tampa?

1293
01:05:44,214 --> 01:05:46,263
Is that what you just said?

1294
01:05:47,377 --> 01:05:48,019
Yeah.

1295
01:05:48,596 --> 01:05:48,996
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1296
01:05:48,996 --> 01:05:49,396
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1297
01:05:49,396 --> 01:05:49,796
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1298
01:05:49,796 --> 01:05:50,196
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1299
01:05:50,196 --> 01:05:50,596
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1300
01:05:50,596 --> 01:05:51,109
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no

1301
01:05:51,109 --> 01:05:54,834
from that, what are you gaining for being
a good regular season team?

1302
01:05:56,157 --> 01:05:56,958
Like, really?

1303
01:05:56,958 --> 01:05:58,319
You look at it right now?

1304
01:06:00,042 --> 01:06:06,447
But yeah, in the format right now, it is,
it's in the visual format too, especially

1305
01:06:06,447 --> 01:06:08,027
like, yeah.

1306
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:15,385
Like right now you're saying that Boston's
reward for being the second best team in

1307
01:06:15,385 --> 01:06:17,227
the conference is to play the Leafs.

1308
01:06:17,465 --> 01:06:18,577
No, you're-

1309
01:06:18,986 --> 01:06:20,530
I get what you mean mathematically.

1310
01:06:20,530 --> 01:06:24,822
It does bump your opponent down a whole
eight spots when you're in first place,

1311
01:06:24,822 --> 01:06:25,823
essentially.

1312
01:06:25,896 --> 01:06:28,048
But why not go 1-8 for confidence?

1313
01:06:28,048 --> 01:06:29,614
Like it always has been.

1314
01:06:31,921 --> 01:06:35,257
That would that's probably the only way
they would ever change it away from the

1315
01:06:35,257 --> 01:06:36,139
divisional

1316
01:06:36,225 --> 01:06:38,471
closer than what we're doing right now.

1317
01:06:41,164 --> 01:06:46,189
And without being as wild as your
proposal, which is like hell of a lot of

1318
01:06:46,189 --> 01:06:49,912
fun, Vegas would make a shitload of money
off it.

1319
01:06:50,634 --> 01:06:52,259
I'm sure Bebba would be super thrilled.

1320
01:06:52,259 --> 01:06:52,966
like?

1321
01:06:54,600 --> 01:07:00,304
Like the underdog stories, everything, the
pure chaos, the random rivalries that you

1322
01:07:00,304 --> 01:07:00,964
could...

1323
01:07:01,725 --> 01:07:02,485
Yeah.

1324
01:07:03,066 --> 01:07:09,190
And then you would have the fact that you
could legitimately face any team in any

1325
01:07:09,190 --> 01:07:10,090
round.

1326
01:07:10,831 --> 01:07:16,415
So there's not gonna be an absolute of,
no, you'll never play this team unless you

1327
01:07:16,415 --> 01:07:20,658
make the cup final, or you'll never play
this team in the cup final, right?

1328
01:07:20,658 --> 01:07:22,279
It could literally be anyone.

1329
01:07:22,279 --> 01:07:24,126
is very, very interesting.

1330
01:07:25,968 --> 01:07:28,795
Because if you're talking like travel,
it's really not big of a deal.

1331
01:07:28,795 --> 01:07:30,480
Like these guys are taking private birds.

1332
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,144
It's going to take a couple hours.

1333
01:07:32,144 --> 01:07:33,086
They're flying in comfort.

1334
01:07:33,086 --> 01:07:35,371
It's not that big of a deal really.

1335
01:07:35,382 --> 01:07:39,588
cause it was a couple of seasons ago, we
knew we were playing, or was it last year?

1336
01:07:39,588 --> 01:07:42,431
We knew we were playing Tampa by like
November.

1337
01:07:42,862 --> 01:07:43,268
yeah.

1338
01:07:43,268 --> 01:07:46,884
We're almost in the same boat right now,
like we're playing Florida or Boston.

1339
01:07:46,884 --> 01:07:48,087
We're locked in.

1340
01:07:50,772 --> 01:07:51,532
Yeah.

1341
01:07:51,553 --> 01:07:57,164
So if you have that greater discrepancy in
points when you're talking one to 16

1342
01:07:57,164 --> 01:08:02,234
instead of, you know, the top three in the
division, it can change day to day who

1343
01:08:02,234 --> 01:08:03,255
you're going to play.

1344
01:08:05,044 --> 01:08:10,367
My counter-argument is just the same one
that I had before that if the regular

1345
01:08:10,367 --> 01:08:14,590
season isn't gonna be that much
cross-conference play, then it's hard to

1346
01:08:14,590 --> 01:08:20,713
justify making the playoffs so heavily
based on the Leafs played Colorado twice

1347
01:08:20,713 --> 01:08:25,636
through the regular season, and now we're
gonna play them for a seven series

1348
01:08:26,117 --> 01:08:29,058
immediately in the playoffs round one.

1349
01:08:29,539 --> 01:08:31,265
I think that kind of goes against.

1350
01:08:31,265 --> 01:08:35,716
divisional rivalries, which is what this
format actually promotes.

1351
01:08:36,138 --> 01:08:38,403
So yeah, that is for sure an argument.

1352
01:08:39,068 --> 01:08:43,913
Yeah, like I don't want to play, say we
the Sens or Montreal are back in the

1353
01:08:43,913 --> 01:08:44,794
playoff running again.

1354
01:08:44,794 --> 01:08:49,480
I don't want to play them like eight times
or at the season to not face them at all

1355
01:08:49,480 --> 01:08:52,903
through a playoff run just because of the
way that the randomizer shook out.

1356
01:08:53,228 --> 01:08:57,653
But we don't play them eight times
throughout the season anymore.

1357
01:08:57,653 --> 01:09:00,030
I think we're playing the Habs like three
times this freaking year.

1358
01:09:00,030 --> 01:09:01,076
times this year.

1359
01:09:02,364 --> 01:09:03,286
Is that it?

1360
01:09:03,528 --> 01:09:04,249
Yeah.

1361
01:09:05,220 --> 01:09:06,626
Like it, it's.

1362
01:09:08,392 --> 01:09:12,559
Yeah, we don't see the teams seven, eight
times a season anymore.

1363
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:20,826
Well, then I guess if I'm commissioner,
that's the difference that I make is more

1364
01:09:20,826 --> 01:09:26,731
inter more plays within divisions and like
make the playoffs more about the best of

1365
01:09:26,731 --> 01:09:27,451
each of those.

1366
01:09:27,451 --> 01:09:31,655
Like if you're going to if the playoff
format is you come out of your groupings

1367
01:09:31,655 --> 01:09:35,998
and it's the best of those groupings, then
make it that if it's not that then abandon

1368
01:09:35,998 --> 01:09:39,681
that it seems that we're somewhere in the
middle where like the visions and

1369
01:09:39,681 --> 01:09:42,836
conferences throughout the season don't
matter that much.

1370
01:09:42,836 --> 01:09:45,278
And then as soon as we hit the playoffs,
it's like, OK, everybody get in your

1371
01:09:45,278 --> 01:09:45,979
groups.

1372
01:09:45,979 --> 01:09:47,040
I forget what group I'm in.

1373
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,142
We haven't talked about this in a while.

1374
01:09:49,142 --> 01:09:50,803
Are I with you guys like?

1375
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:58,684
I feel like Atlantic and even Eastern
Conference rivalries, they still mean

1376
01:09:58,684 --> 01:09:59,064
something.

1377
01:09:59,064 --> 01:10:02,706
And to your point, if you're battling all
season long, even for a playoff position,

1378
01:10:02,706 --> 01:10:05,688
you want to meet these guys in the
playoffs, whether it's first, second, or

1379
01:10:05,688 --> 01:10:07,849
third round, to get to where you want to
go.

1380
01:10:08,070 --> 01:10:11,551
So I do kind of agree with that style
still.

1381
01:10:13,032 --> 01:10:18,374
Yeah, I mean, if it's about storylines
and, you know, finishing rivalries and

1382
01:10:18,374 --> 01:10:22,495
finishing the story that's been going on
all season with like, OK, we've both been

1383
01:10:22,495 --> 01:10:25,857
fighting to get to the playoffs and, you
know, like the Leafs and Sens in the first

1384
01:10:25,857 --> 01:10:26,117
round.

1385
01:10:26,117 --> 01:10:28,358
Like, if that happens again, like, that's
going to be crazy.

1386
01:10:28,358 --> 01:10:34,760
So I just I don't want to throw that away
for, oh, you know, the Leafs came in

1387
01:10:34,961 --> 01:10:35,441
fourth.

1388
01:10:35,441 --> 01:10:38,742
So we're playing Calgary in the first
round.

1389
01:10:38,742 --> 01:10:42,508
Like, I don't know, we don't have that
much of a beef with them.

1390
01:10:42,508 --> 01:10:45,655
because we don't play them because they're
in the West.

1391
01:10:46,836 --> 01:10:52,324
did, like the, the his, see, and I'm
looking at it from a history standpoint as

1392
01:10:52,324 --> 01:10:52,544
well.

1393
01:10:52,544 --> 01:10:57,311
You can pretty much look at any team in
the Western Conference, especially the

1394
01:10:57,311 --> 01:11:03,199
Canadian teams, and there has been some
form of historical beef with the Leafs.

1395
01:11:03,220 --> 01:11:07,023
Historical, sure, but like the people
watching it right now that remember and

1396
01:11:07,023 --> 01:11:11,827
care about it and are, you know, It's
currently living in their memory.

1397
01:11:11,827 --> 01:11:17,252
Like I'm talking besides Nazem Kadri Like
I don't think there's anything on that

1398
01:11:17,252 --> 01:11:21,895
team that really would get the Leafs fired
up about a first round matchup

1399
01:11:22,165 --> 01:11:25,579
Many people don't remember the leafs being
in the Western Conference.

1400
01:11:28,188 --> 01:11:31,869
Yeah, I mean, it's, I don't know.

1401
01:11:31,869 --> 01:11:33,030
You got to sell the game.

1402
01:11:33,030 --> 01:11:37,832
And I think there's a way to do a better
job of that than having these matchups so

1403
01:11:37,832 --> 01:11:39,312
set in stone so early.

1404
01:11:39,312 --> 01:11:41,093
Like, I don't know.

1405
01:11:41,093 --> 01:11:45,975
I like what the PWHL did about gaining
points once you're eliminated towards

1406
01:11:45,975 --> 01:11:52,578
getting the first overall pick, but as was
brought up to me, yeah, well, not, not

1407
01:11:52,578 --> 01:11:56,116
picking your opponent, but once you're
mathematically out, you're competing.

1408
01:11:56,116 --> 01:11:59,139
Like you accumulate points towards getting
the first overall pick.

1409
01:11:59,380 --> 01:12:02,724
I like that because then at least once
you're out, you're still trying for

1410
01:12:02,724 --> 01:12:03,104
something.

1411
01:12:03,104 --> 01:12:04,866
But I don't know.

1412
01:12:04,866 --> 01:12:08,110
It does leave bad teams still bad.

1413
01:12:11,272 --> 01:12:15,655
Yeah, because they've been talking about
that for a long time and a couple of

1414
01:12:15,655 --> 01:12:19,178
different people have brought it up that
that's a potential for the NHL to do,

1415
01:12:19,178 --> 01:12:19,938
right?

1416
01:12:20,138 --> 01:12:24,242
And then it was brought up, okay, well, if
you're eliminated in March, then you can

1417
01:12:24,242 --> 01:12:27,824
accumulate more points than if you're
eliminated, or if you're eliminated in

1418
01:12:27,824 --> 01:12:31,387
January, you can accumulate more points
than if you're eliminated in March.

1419
01:12:32,008 --> 01:12:36,171
But I think it was going to be based on
like everything would be weighted.

1420
01:12:36,451 --> 01:12:37,191
So a

1421
01:12:37,328 --> 01:12:40,797
a win after you're eliminated in March
would be worth more than a win after

1422
01:12:40,797 --> 01:12:42,642
you're eliminated in January or something
like that.

1423
01:12:42,642 --> 01:12:45,127
There was a whole math metal equation for
it, but...

1424
01:12:45,608 --> 01:12:48,953
Yeah, because it's just it's silly on both
sides like for the teams that are in the

1425
01:12:48,953 --> 01:12:53,800
playoffs to be like, okay, well We know
who we're playing and the teams that are

1426
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:58,687
out to be like well What are these games
for the next two months matter like?

1427
01:12:58,687 --> 01:12:58,908
Yeah

1428
01:12:58,908 --> 01:13:03,348
Yeah, let's take and draft for like, go
for number one.

1429
01:13:03,348 --> 01:13:04,308
not good for fans.

1430
01:13:04,308 --> 01:13:07,971
It's not good for broadcasters because you
want people watching games.

1431
01:13:07,971 --> 01:13:12,233
And if the last month and a half of the
season literally doesn't matter, nobody's

1432
01:13:12,233 --> 01:13:14,255
going to watch it and your advertising
revenue goes down.

1433
01:13:14,255 --> 01:13:14,855
So.

1434
01:13:15,036 --> 01:13:18,565
Yeah, look at NBA, like they had players
sitting out for those types of games, and

1435
01:13:18,565 --> 01:13:20,829
now they actually have a rule against
that, so...

1436
01:13:22,164 --> 01:13:22,616
Yeah.

1437
01:13:22,616 --> 01:13:28,567
for last weekend that the Clippers
complained that they played 22 hours after

1438
01:13:28,567 --> 01:13:30,430
their previous game because of the time
change.

1439
01:13:30,430 --> 01:13:32,973
So a bunch of the stars sat.

1440
01:13:33,492 --> 01:13:34,717
Oh my god.

1441
01:13:34,717 --> 01:13:35,639
Typical.

1442
01:13:35,985 --> 01:13:39,194
James Harden to have enough time at the
teaser club.

1443
01:13:39,864 --> 01:13:43,154
I am glad that the NBA implemented that
they had to play a certain amount of games

1444
01:13:43,154 --> 01:13:46,184
to be eligible for trophies at the end of
the year, because I think that's the thing

1445
01:13:46,184 --> 01:13:47,440
that kept a lot of them playing.

1446
01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:51,141
Because those trophies really, really
matter when it comes to contract

1447
01:13:51,141 --> 01:13:51,902
negotiations.

1448
01:13:51,902 --> 01:13:55,063
If you're on the first, the second or
third All-Star team, or if you make all

1449
01:13:55,063 --> 01:14:00,266
defensive or all forward team, you make
way more money than if you don't.

1450
01:14:00,646 --> 01:14:03,927
Like it has a significant value.

1451
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:09,482
Just imagine like we're in the last week
of the season and Matthews wants to sit

1452
01:14:09,482 --> 01:14:11,964
and they're like you don't get the rocket
if you don't play these three games.

1453
01:14:11,964 --> 01:14:13,805
They're like what?

1454
01:14:13,805 --> 01:14:17,189
It will go to the next person on the list
if you don't play these games.

1455
01:14:17,189 --> 01:14:19,833
million on your contract for a couple
years.

1456
01:14:19,833 --> 01:14:21,695
It really makes a huge difference.

1457
01:14:22,346 --> 01:14:23,467
Exactly.

1458
01:14:24,308 --> 01:14:26,109
Well, that's all I got.

1459
01:14:27,331 --> 01:14:28,391
You guys got anything?

1460
01:14:30,082 --> 01:14:31,882
Ah, nothing that can't wait.

1461
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,267
We got oh, sound.

1462
01:14:34,267 --> 01:14:35,684
Yeah.

1463
01:14:35,684 --> 01:14:38,864
let the people find us a new good hat or
hats.

1464
01:14:38,864 --> 01:14:41,204
Yes, please, please.

1465
01:14:41,605 --> 01:14:46,487
And watch on YouTube if you wanna see all
the things we talk about, appreciate it.

1466
01:14:46,487 --> 01:14:49,929
Have a good night everybody, and we'll
catch you on the flippity flop.

1467
01:14:50,369 --> 01:14:54,334
Catch ya on the flip, there we go.

1468
01:14:54,334 --> 01:14:55,135
Beaner!

1469
01:15:00,881 --> 01:15:01,566
on it.

1470
01:15:10,299 --> 01:15:11,323
Ha ha

1471
01:15:19,636 --> 01:15:21,682
Hat on a hat on a hat.

1472
01:15:24,860 --> 01:15:26,541
Yeah, so my upload was shit.
