[steph]: Oh,
[roscoe]: Oh,
[steph]: She's trying so
[roscoe]: oh, he
[steph]: hard.
[roscoe]: scores. Let's
[steph]: Yes,
[roscoe]: go. So what that was was the brand new Toronto may believe, Ryan Riley, spending his very last moments minutes hour, whatever
[roscoe]: it may be, as a Saint Louis blue blue, Saint Louis blue. Is that the singular for being on that team? I never
[steph]: Just
[roscoe]: thought about that being a
[steph]: a
[roscoe]: blue.
[steph]: blue. Yeah,
[roscoe]: I guess yeah, because I mean it's like you're a lief. You're a blue. so
[steph]: Unless
[roscoe]: okay,
[steph]: you have the blues
[roscoe]: Not any more. not when you'regeting out of Saint Louis, So
[steph]: Right,
[roscoe]: he spends his last day with a kid from the wish foundation. O Yo have the name stuff. Shut up.
[steph]: Yeah, Hank Walker made this wish back in twenty twenty after being diagnosed with posterior, your three year old valves,
[steph]: something that led to a kidney transplant.
[roscoe]: Yeah,
[steph]: And yeah, his wish came through his his Hawke hero. That's what he wanted to play Hawke. with. His hero happened to be Rianalriley.
[steph]: And his last day is the blue. There she goes. one day Contract so cute
[roscoe]: That's awesome. good for Ryan, And that's what we're going to start with. Welcome to the Tono Mapelieves, Riano, Riley
[roscoe]: and Nolakari, Is it a car?
[steph]: Tari.
[roscoe]: A char?
[steph]: It's a C. H, because I think it's an Italian last name that Double
[roscoe]: I was
[steph]: C
[roscoe]: going to say,
[steph]: makes it an Italian.
[roscoe]: it looks a talent. and
[steph]: A. Yeah,
[roscoe]: at,
[steph]: Yeah, but you know now, just this clip essentially sums up the kind of guy that ran all. Riley is right, like he is an
[steph]: ultimate leader goes beyond to do things for the community. I mean, he's one, a lady being, he's a Stanley Cup winner, Con
[steph]: Mith, Silky, one of the best two way forwards in the league On the dot as well, come on, this is exactly what we needed.
[roscoe]: Yeah, I mean, we talked about this back. We pulled the two episodes up. It was December fifteenth and twenty eighth.
[roscoe]: I believe are two episodes. They're marked in the description of them as Rianelriley and Rianalriley again. So
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: we, we did talk quite a bit about this. I know there were a lot of names floating around there, but finally we find
[roscoe]: out who Dubs has been sneaking around about. So the leavsequire Ryan Riley and Knoll at are from in a three team
[roscoe]: trade With Saint Louis and Minnesota. Saint Louis receives Michel Brama and Adam Godet, Terno's first round pick and twenty
[roscoe]: twenty three, and Autowa's third, and Terono's second and twenty four, Minnesota, receiving Toronal's fourth, and with
[roscoe]: that fourth they get Josh Polar, and another twenty five per cent or half of the half of Rianalriley's contract,
[roscoe]: because to sum it up real quick, every team can only retain fifty percent of a contract, so Involving a third team,
[roscoe]: they got another team to take on fifty percent of the fifty percent leaps, winding up with a twenty five percent retained,
[roscoe]: one point eight, seven, five cap hit captain.
[steph]: Ten,
[roscoe]: So lots of you know what the thing that I wanted to say about this and I know I'm going to criticize it, even though
[roscoe]: it's a leap straight. All I can say is it's a good thing the salary cap works
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: Because
[steph]: If it's
[roscoe]: honestly
[steph]: in the least flavor, Yeah,
[roscoe]: it's
[steph]: go ahead,
[roscoe]: in the least favor. but like honestly, the leaps giving up a fourth round pick is just because the salary cap exists
[roscoe]: like they don't care if they have to pay him one point, eight, seven, five, or I mean, it's pre rated for whatever how
[roscoe]: many games we've played up to this point, But they don't care if that's three point six or one point eight. The money
[roscoe]: means nothing to them. It's the cap hit that they have to make work, So really they just lost a fourth round pick Because
[roscoe]: the salary cap when real. The point of the cap of having them not spend the money was irrelevant here. so it's just another
[roscoe]: example of why the cap is stupid not to get into it too much. But that's
[steph]: Uh,
[roscoe]: It's really dumb that the leaves lost the fourth round pick just because of the stupid salary cat
[steph]: And Minnesota essentially bought straight up a fourth rounder for twenty twenty four because they're like Okay, twenty
[steph]: five percent. I'll take that deal. Maybe it'll work out. I don't know what was
[roscoe]: Twenty
[steph]: going through
[roscoe]: five.
[steph]: their minds out. Yeah, twenty five percent, sorry,
[roscoe]: No, it's twenty twenty five.
[steph]: twenty twenty five. Oh,
[roscoe]: Yeah, the
[steph]: there's
[roscoe]: fourth
[steph]: so
[roscoe]: rounders.
[steph]: many picks involved in this trade.
[roscoe]: Yeah, let me look at what they have left because that's actually kind of. I didn't realize it was a twenty twenty five
[roscoe]: pick. Im gonnalokat the lead cap friendly. What do they have left for picks? So
[steph]: Well, the first is gone.
[roscoe]: First is gone. They still have they have a conditional third. Arizona has the option to exchange the twenty twenty five
[roscoe]: second round pick for Toronto's twenty twenty three third round pick. so Arizona might steal that pick, but potentially
[roscoe]: the least have a third fifth and sixth this year, And that's it next year. they have a first fourth, fifth, sixth,
[roscoe]: and two seventh, and then in twenty five they have a first third fifth Seven, So they're missing a lot of picks in
[roscoe]: the next couple of years, but they still have their first the next two years. They just do not have a second for
[roscoe]: the next three.
[steph]: I don't know about you, but do you risk it for a few? You know for a winning time now because this core is ready now
[steph]: like it's supposed to happen years ago. But if it isn't now when, because also do this is up. like do you give those
[steph]: picks up or save them and they could potentially be busts right Like, even though it's a first round pick included in the
[steph]: trade, that person is probably not going to break the N H to like twenty twenty s. In ish, it twenty twenty six, maybe
[steph]: earliest, and like do we have the time to wait that long?
[roscoe]: I, right now, I don't care about twenty, twenty six, twenty seven. I know
[steph]: Exactly
[roscoe]: in twenty twenty six, twenty seven, I will care and be like. I can't believe we traded whoever. a couple o years
[roscoe]: ago. We're going to know who this first round pick was. I don't care right now. I really don't care. We have such a huge
[roscoe]: draft pool that's going to have us set for the next couple of years. I'm not concerned about who the leaf's first
[roscoe]: round pick a couple of years down the line is If they're tanking like say, none of this works out, and in a couple of
[roscoe]: years they decided to blow it up there To get all of these picks back by getting rid of these guys, so I'm really
[roscoe]: not concerned about them not picking if things go south as long as things are on the up and up. Spend it. I'm tired of
[roscoe]: sitting on these picks. Dubs has had his time to draft. We have a massive pool of prospects that everybody is excited
[roscoe]: about. We're able to get Rianalriley without moving. Really. Any of them. They got rid of Adam Godet, who barely even
[roscoe]: played. Barely crack the line up, and Mcelbramof, who I was, kind of a middle of the pack prospect. As far as most
[roscoe]: people were concerned, it wasn't at the top of the list. I'm
[steph]: Lower tier. in my opinion,
[roscoe]: yeah, I'm okay with this like a hundred percent and that means that they still have prospects and players to move.
[roscoe]: They have their first from next year. I know it might be crazy to spend two first in the same season, but I mean, look
[roscoe]: what Florida did. They don't have any, and I know it didn't work out for them, but
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: it's not impossible for a g M to just go out and spend the moon Because the leaves are still. I'm looking at it right
[roscoe]: now. I know it was about four and a change yesterday, but I think with Samson off being hurt, and the emergency loans
[roscoe]: and everything there, sitting at three point six, seven for deadline, and I mean if you can
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: pick up Riano Riley at one point eight, seven five, three point six is so much for dues to play with. I don't think
[roscoe]: he's done. I know that we'll get into that because it's been a lot of people's questions is whether he's done or not.
[roscoe]: I don't think he is because he has so much more to play with and to spend, But I really like this trade. Let's get into
[roscoe]: what Ranald Riley does for the leaves and Nolakari,
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: but I mean, tonight was obviously the first time we got to see them play. I missed the game. I made plans long ago,
[roscoe]: not realizing any of this was going to happen. Actually, let's start there. So step, you and I both did the same thing
[roscoe]: in postponing Valentine's Day till Friday night, thinking that
[steph]: Hm,
[roscoe]: all clear, you know We're approaching deadline day, but nothing happens late on a Friday night, Lo and behold
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: got home and had but a hundred and fifty notifications from every single platform.
[steph]: M.
[roscoe]: Ryanallritley. S, a leaf
[steph]: M.
[roscoe]: That was a little
[steph]: Writ.
[roscoe]: bit of a shock. I got it about forty five to an hour late and it was like I've since starting to cover the leaves
[roscoe]: as intently as we have. I haven't missed anything that big by that long, and it's like it was really jarring. Oh,
[steph]: Yeah, I was in shock. First. you know, you have to check if there's any. you have to check for authenticity of the post
[steph]: rights.
[roscoe]: That was my first thought. My first thought was people started sharing this, But it's fake. I'm like
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: I'm not going to get excited about this until I know
[steph]: Yea, and I didn't want to get pumped
[roscoe]: Marty,
[steph]: and it's so
[roscoe]: looking
[steph]: easy
[roscoe]: at
[steph]: to
[roscoe]: you.
[steph]: get pumked. rightbiht.
[roscoe]: Marty, changing his picture and named Elliot Freedman, leaves get
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: Meyer, you Dick,
[steph]: I was pleasantly surprised even though we brought him up several times and kind of leaned on the favor that maybe he
[steph]: won't be a good fit because we don't necessarily need him on a third line, and we were thinking for his value because
[steph]: he carries a seven and a half mile cab hit that leaves simply couldn't afford him and we weren't expecting this double
[steph]: retention plan happening and such,
[roscoe]: And if it was going to go that way, I thought it would be so expensive that it wasn't going o be worth it. But with
[roscoe]: what end
[steph]: Yes,
[roscoe]: that up spending on it, I think I think what we take for maybe not take for granted, but we, maybe what we underestimate
[roscoe]: is though the Leafs are up against the wall constantly when they're trying to make these trades, like the Saint Louis
[roscoe]: Blues are up against the wall trying to get rid of Ryan Riley, like it's kind of the balls in their court right, like
[roscoe]: they have
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: to either move on from him Or just burn the season and not get anything, So I mean, I'm sure people are low balling
[roscoe]: them because you know it's It's kind of on them to take whatever trade happens, because they have to make the trade.
[roscoe]: The leaves don't have to acquire Ranald Riley. right, they can go somewhere else, so I think In grabbing him before
[roscoe]: to mayor comes off the market, you really get to underpay for him. I think that's why Ducis was able to get away with not
[roscoe]: giving up some of those prospects that were coming up like knives, and And such like, I'm not saying, he didn't spend
[roscoe]: a ton like the first and second and third and fourth are essentially gone now, but in
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: what he got for it, I think it was a very good value trade, and yeah, I'm just going a say. it's because he was able
[roscoe]: to pull the trigger on this before some of the bigger names like Team of Mir and Jacob Chickeren go. Because that's
[roscoe]: going to. really. You know, Once Mayer's gone, Saint Louis is now going to have all the teams that missed out on him
[roscoe]: looking their way and started biting war between each other. But at this And it's still you know, on the leaves to
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: make a good offer.
[steph]: that's exactly it for what you pay for Rana, Riley, You take that all day long. When we were talking about it previously,
[steph]: it just seemed like it wouldn't work, but tonight we saw Tavaris on the wing, Rianellriley, on P. P. To killing penalties,
[steph]: We also had no care in the mix, which is for me, the ultimate cherry on top. And I know Benner has mentioned him several
[steph]: times on this Paul Last year. This year. Like this, this guy is a type of player you need In your bottom six. He enters
[steph]: the leaves you know, leading in the Hid category category immediately, M second behind Matthews in blocks, he's not afraid
[steph]: to shoot. I mean tonight he had five shots, five hits with seventeen, thirty, right on the fourth line. This guy was
[steph]: a beast for me tonight. Especial Le. he played on a line with Zach, Aston, Race and kerfoot. It's like it gave them a
[steph]: whole new life Zacastonras. I really was sad for you missing this, Johnny, Because you've been saying how disappointed
[steph]: you. You have been in him recently, Right and
[roscoe]: I mean, not
[steph]: tonight
[roscoe]: disappointed,
[steph]: he was all over
[roscoe]: but
[steph]: the
[roscoe]: just
[steph]: play.
[roscoe]: like underwhelmed. I don't know. I haven't been like. Oh,
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: he's a staple. He's got to be in the line up. like, just not sold yet, but I'm glad he was playing
[steph]: So
[roscoe]: well
[steph]: the first yeah, first period three shots on net for are like they had
[roscoe]: On.
[steph]: multiple opportunities to the point When we were in the third period. They're at four. One might as well start playing
[steph]: the fourth line a bunch and evening out the time on ice, because if you look at everyone's time on ice, it's literally
[steph]: fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seven teens across the board. It's kind of. it's all all good.
[roscoe]: Yeah, and so really, just just getting into what Ryan Riley does for this team. Is, I mean, we saw tonight that it
[roscoe]: allows the team to spread out more. It gives them the depth We talked about the bottom six s last episode and how the
[roscoe]: leaves just didn't stack up and we needed that. this is like the best possible thing you can add to your depth, right
[roscoe]: like just looking at what he brings. I mean through sixty four play off games. Ryan Riley has fifty six points, twenty
[roscoe]: two goals and thirty four assist. That is Insane like Yes, he has six hundred ninety one points through nine hundred
[roscoe]: seventy eight, play off or nine, seventy eight regular season games. But it's his play off numbers that are like. he's
[roscoe]: almost the point of game. That's insanity,
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: and Nolichari brings in fifty four games of play off experience. Yeah, he's only got seven points through them, but
[roscoe]: he's been in the playoffs every year since twenty fifty sixteen, and it's been with the ruins and the Panthers, so it's
[roscoe]: teams
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: that know what they're doing, their bringing Experen, And so I'm just glad that it's impact for people and not. you
[roscoe]: know only the bottom of the barrel. You know what we were able to scrounge? up. what was we could afford? You know
[roscoe]: it. It seems like they really spent on something that was gonna make an impact And that's what I'm the most happy about.
[steph]: Yeah, collecting captains once again, but this
[roscoe]: Okay.
[steph]: time around I feel like this captain is obviously proven he has that dog in him like this guy doesn't like to lose, as
[steph]: Marty pointed out tonight on Twitter, And these two players understand the difficulty of the Atlantic division, Especially
[steph]: Norah Chary, Right, coming from the bruns, The Panthers, like he obviously plays a certain style for a reason and he stuck
[steph]: to his guns in. This Is what Sheldon Keith. I'm sure Dubs is preaching to him as well, you know, Like they were saying
[steph]: it on the broadcast tonight. It's clear he knows what his role is and he does it so well And it's just so nice to add
[steph]: that fifty four per cent on the dot, he's averaging. Ryan Riley is around the same Um, at the same pace, but that's
[steph]: one of his lowest years in his career. Usually he averages near fifty, eight, fifty nine per cent On the thought, So for
[steph]: a puck possession based team, Oh my God, this team is going to be on fire like no disrespect to Homeburg, like I've
[steph]: praise him, But at this time period time is now to tighten all up. Get everyone familiar with one each other one another
[steph]: and no, no more loose ends.
[roscoe]: I'm just looking at Rinallriley's awards voting history. He has been nominated for the Silk and Bing, So twenty ten, twenty
[roscoe]: eleven, Selki, twenty, eleven, twenty, twelve, Selkiandbing, These are just like votes, Uh, twenty, twelve, twenty, thirteen,
[roscoe]: Silky thirteen, fourteen, Silky bing, fourteen, fifteen, Selkibing fifteen, sixteen, Selkibingsixteen, Seventeen, Slkibing,
[roscoe]: Ten, eighteen, Sky bing, eighteen, Nineteen
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: being heart wins, The Silky wins The Smith, nineteen, twenty, selkibing, twenty, twenty, twenty, One, Being heart sulky
[roscoe]: last year being sulky, This dude is nominated for it every single year. That is insane.
[steph]: And
[roscoe]: Both of them.
[steph]: yeah, yeah, it's it's nice, right. It's so nice to be able to have this conversation and not just have like an outlier
[steph]: year, or even though he started, he was drafted by, or Colorado goes to a pretty poor Buffalo team, and at the time
[steph]: Colorado wasn't the greatest team, either, Those where the dark years for them
[roscoe]: There's a reason
[steph]: and
[roscoe]: they
[steph]: he's
[roscoe]: have the players they have Now
[steph]: Yeah, it's true, Remarkable how his career has been formed and the progress he's been through, and now he's a leaf. He can
[steph]: play his thousandth game as a corona. Make Lief if he plays the next twenty two of the final twenty seven games remaining.
[roscoe]: That's wild. Oh my God, So
[steph]: Yeah, and sorry, this is such a random, random thought, but I noticed when looking at the pictures today he rarely smiles
[steph]: in his pick like he did one draft day he did when he, Yeah, he got signed and whatever, but today he had the biggest
[steph]: smile on his face for his team photo and it was so nice because every other year he just looks like a scruffy miserable
[steph]: bear In sense, but yeah, He's hometown boy. Got asked after the game tonight. You know, Did you ever see this coming,
[steph]: and he said No, like I dreamt of it, but I never thought it would ever happen.
[roscoe]: He was a second round pick. I didn't know that.
[steph]: Yeah, thirty third overall. I believe.
[roscoe]: Yeah, Nolichari, undrafted, Wow, and
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: an
[steph]: he started
[roscoe]: l. C
[steph]: later.
[roscoe]: at twenty three. what?
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: what?
[steph]: I noticed that looking at his stat. like What the hell? this guy is? Thirty one and his states only start at this period
[steph]: in time and I'm like, Oh my God, he's like another bunting. In a sense.
[roscoe]: Yeah, he signed with the Bruins out of Providence College and C double for a couple of years.
[steph]: Yeah, yeah, but I don't know. I'm excited and I honestly thought Adam Godet was going to be next up, But obviously
[roscoe]: Yeah,
[steph]: things happened for a reason, and I was. I was happy with the rotational Marney Marley. like bottom six going on,
[steph]: you know, like one day Joe Anderson, one day the next guy. But if we have solid guys like this, then there's no more
[steph]: worrying in a cent. It's like you can always put in someone else to give them a spark once in a while, or arrest if someone's
[steph]: injured. but
[roscoe]: Yeah, I think
[steph]: ye,
[roscoe]: it's more important to give the younger guys a chance. Like when you've got at Im got. it's almost like he's taking
[roscoe]: up a spot on the Marley's top lines because he's going to be obviously night and night out more consistent than some
[roscoe]: of the younger guys, but it's not giving them a chance to really take on responsibility and be in those top rolls down
[roscoe]: there, so I think it's the obvious choice to move out. The thing that I like about Riley is like going back to the silky
[roscoe]: and being thing like, Because he's a two way player. It's somebody that fits into the leaf system that they've been
[roscoe]: trying to call Vat, which is responsible forwards, And you know, playing a two hundred foot game. You know, we've seen
[roscoe]: it from Matthews and Marner and New Lander, And like they've all been really improving on that end, Tovarus was already
[roscoe]: good at it, but I'm glad they found somebody that already fits that instead of not that team O Myer doesn't, but it's just
[roscoe]: I feel like he's just kind of like a Koi Lenard where it's like we're just bringing in somebody who's good at the game.
[roscoe]: I get it Koilenard won the championship for the Wraptors, It's a bad comparison, but it's more. just like this guy's Really
[roscoe]: good. We're just going to bring in the guy that's really good. This is somebody that
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: good and gills with the team. There's a the hometown vibe and be, I'm drunk, so I'm listening things alphabetically
[steph]: M,
[roscoe]: and see he.
[steph]: m,
[roscoe]: He's just he plays that full defensive game like it's nice that the leaps have responsible forwards, especially with
[roscoe]: how much emphasis has been put on how un responsible, Irresponsible. Some, some forwards on other teams, Vancouver
[roscoe]: are Edmonton in a peg. It's all Canadian teams. Wow,
[steph]: Uh,
[roscoe]: going back and playing defense.
[steph]: uh,
[roscoe]: So yeah,
[steph]: Yeah, I don't know. I'm happy. and today the lines like the bottom six, you had zare char cur foot or sorry in Val camp
[steph]: yarn croak, and then Zare char cur foot. It felt like it didn't feel like we had a fourth line. It kind of felt like
[steph]: we, Chris Hurley's idea of having like one a B and then a three, a B. sort of line combination of because, our first
[steph]: two lines, Or let
[roscoe]: So
[steph]: to say
[roscoe]: obviously
[steph]: yeah,
[roscoe]: I didn't get to see the game, So Riley wasn't the third line center. They put him on the second line and bumped Varus
[roscoe]: o the wing,
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: which is the thing that we all talked about and said like, That's kind of crazy. What? in your opinion, Do you think
[roscoe]: that's the better move than spreading him out and putting him to third line center with like curve, foot and Egvall.
[steph]: You know they did have their chances tonight. the first period. I mean the first shift alone, Riley looked great. Had
[steph]: two chances. The thing was, J. T. it was clear that he's not used to playing on the wing,
[roscoe]: No killing.
[steph]: and the only time that would really happen is like what Team Canada games where you're playing with bunch of super stars
[steph]: out of position or something like that in All Star Game or whatever, But he was a minus one. J. T. He had two shows,
[steph]: three hits, but I don't know. I saw a lot of complaints online. I think it's still possible they can jail. I'm not against
[steph]: putting Um. Ryan on the third line either, I mean, Keith said before the game, He has unlimited options now with the capability.
[roscoe]: Yeah, because just looking at the daily face off here. So first power play, J. T Marner, knee lander, Riley, Matthew's
[roscoe]: second power play, Riley Bunting, yarn, croke, sand, an liligran. That's disgusting. Like the fact that you can spread
[roscoe]: Riley out to your second power play center is crazy like Well, also stacking
[steph]: Yep,
[roscoe]: the first line with Ford forward.
[steph]: Yeah, seriously, it was such a big improvement tonight, especially starting some of the power or one of the power players,
[steph]: at least with the second unit, and you didn't feel like you're kind of waiting for the core to come out and save the
[steph]: day, sort of thing, like they were firing on all cylinders, and Um, Oh, Riley got his first apple tonight as a leaf and that
[steph]: was off a Michael Bunting goal and yarn crocuses, So it's war King So far, I mean, obviously so much has happened
[steph]: in the last twenty four hours, and they had to fly today and do everything right, but I think it gets better.
[roscoe]: Well, what I really like seeing here? It doesn't match what the line combinations were supposed to be tonight, but the
[roscoe]: most time on ice for a penalty killing four word, because Lolegran had the most team wide Nolichari over a minute tonight
[roscoe]: of short handed time, and Rina Riley with thirty seconds of short handed time, so I'm glad that Keith is immediately trusting
[roscoe]: that these guys know what they're doing and putting them into high responsibility positions and leading the It there.
[roscoe]: Because
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: it's a game against Montreal. You can kind of throw everybody in and say great, How does this work Without easing
[roscoe]: everyone into it? Throw them into the fire. What happens? You've got Riley leading your second power play and your second
[roscoe]: pony Kill, and your second line.
[steph]: Yeah, true leader through and through and a cherry is the cherry on top here, I love it. I love it. There's more to
[steph]: come, I assume, but tonight it was great and I'm really sad you missed it.
[roscoe]: Me too.
[steph]: Oh
[roscoe]: but
[steph]: my god,
[roscoe]: played some fun games. Did some board game night stuff So you know
[steph]: Nice.
[roscoe]: it was a good time there.
[steph]: Yeah, fun fact.
[roscoe]: Go ahead,
[steph]: Oh, go ahead. go ahead.
[roscoe]: do
[steph]: I was
[roscoe]: it.
[steph]: going to talk more about Ryan Riley,
[roscoe]: No, from the
[steph]: if
[roscoe]: fact
[steph]: you want
[roscoe]: of it,
[steph]: to
[roscoe]: because I can't remember,
[steph]: Rianall.
[roscoe]: I was going to
[steph]: Riley.
[roscoe]: talk about the game we played, but I can't actually remember the name of it.
[steph]: Oh, well, Riano, Riley, number ninety, first time in life's history, number ninety, So that he's a little piece there,
[steph]: he'll forever hold with him. Also, he's a no visor player. If anyone did not notice tonight,
[roscoe]: Interesting.
[steph]: there's only seven left in the N. h, L, and the leaves have two of them.
[roscoe]: Wow,
[steph]: Can you
[roscoe]: that's
[steph]: guess
[roscoe]: fun.
[steph]: the other one?
[roscoe]: is it David Camp?
[steph]: No, it's
[roscoe]: Um,
[steph]: a grandfather, didn't thing, So
[roscoe]: Oh
[steph]: they've been around a little
[roscoe]: men,
[steph]: longer. right. No, Georgie, Ben,
[roscoe]: Georgie, Ben, there it is.
[steph]: Yeah, Yeah, and then Charles, number fifty two, who last war, fifty two, Rosco
[roscoe]: Oh, when was it
[steph]: A while ago, we talk about him often, some sometimes, but he hasn't played with the leaves for a good while. Now
[roscoe]: What era?
[steph]: it's like he never. It's like he never leaves. Just a always a leaf
[roscoe]: What era?
[steph]: through and through Um, early Matthews days right before Matthews, as well,
[roscoe]: Oh,
[steph]: Kestel days.
[roscoe]: fifty two
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: Defense
[steph]: You got this.
[roscoe]: man,
[steph]: Yes,
[roscoe]: Um,
[steph]: Everyone's screaming at home right now.
[steph]: More ten
[roscoe]: Martin
[steph]: more
[roscoe]: Verencan,
[steph]: in.
[roscoe]: No way I was like.
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: It's
[steph]: Mardi Marincin,
[roscoe]: I couldn't picture it, but yeah, that's yeah. the era when I was actively not watching the leaves
[steph]: Yeah, exactly just getting scared
[roscoe]: We're trying
[steph]: even
[roscoe]: to
[steph]: more.
[roscoe]: lose this season. Great, call me when it's the draft.
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: let me know who we get. I'm not not hurting myself all year, but yeah, I don't know if you've played this game before.
[roscoe]: It's like, kind of like a combination of a bunch of different games. But there's like a stack of cards and you, you
[roscoe]: draw a bunch of them and you have to. It's kind of like the pyramid game and charades and taboo, but like you have to,
[steph]: Oh,
[roscoe]: you have to get people to guess what word is on the card. You can say like anything as part of the description that
[roscoe]: it gives you. But then the second round you have to do it as charades, and the third round you have to do it is just
[roscoe]: one word, so it gets harder
[steph]: Oh,
[roscoe]: and harder.
[steph]: I've
[roscoe]: That's
[steph]: probably
[roscoe]: fun. though,
[steph]: seen that game. I don't know, but we have a huge cabinet of games. We always bring a ton of games to every game night
[steph]: Like we actually pack a miniature suit case when bringing the games.
[roscoe]: Oh my gosh,
[steph]: Because there's just so many, but yeah,
[roscoe]: I.
[steph]: no, I
[roscoe]: I
[steph]: love
[roscoe]: was in
[steph]: game
[roscoe]: college
[steph]: nights.
[roscoe]: during the height of Cards against Humanity, so my mom for a couple of years
[steph]: Nice.
[roscoe]: just was getting me like the expansion packs for it. So I have, like the Trump and Hilary pack, the weed pack, the
[roscoe]: nineties, Astlgapack, the eighties,
[steph]: M.
[roscoe]: Nestalgapack. Like so many of these different ones, they're fun Is just I have a lot of cards for that game.
[steph]: You got to buy the hard cover, um, little case thing to pack all your cards in.
[roscoe]: I have the bigger
[steph]: Then it
[roscoe]: blacker
[steph]: divides
[roscoe]: box.
[steph]: it. We can buy a case for all the games until they're not all over
[roscoe]: Ho,
[steph]: the place. That's what we had to do because it was just getting out of hand. so
[roscoe]: One?
[steph]: now we just you open up the case and there's like twenty games you can pick from with no boxes. You
[roscoe]: Oh,
[steph]: just
[roscoe]: that's
[steph]: grab it and
[roscoe]: cool.
[steph]: go.
[roscoe]: You'll have to send me that.
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: Do you know? But the big box for the Cards against Humanity cards
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: and the secret card,
[steph]: yeah, um, we usually play disturbed friends instead
[roscoe]: M
[steph]: of cards against humanity, because it's funny and I have, like the Ex rated version of all the games,
[roscoe]: Nice.
[steph]: But anyway,
[roscoe]: Anyways.
[steph]: Leafs
[roscoe]: So what I think?
[steph]: leaves one.
[roscoe]: Yeah, leaps one Michael Bunting out of a great night with two goals. Anything you want to chat as far as the goals
[roscoe]: go. Because I mean, we've got more to talk about as far as trades and stuff go,
[steph]: I only want to say is that of course, Josh Anderson, certified
[roscoe]: Leah killer.
[steph]: leaf killer certified, Oh my God, thirteenth goal of his career Against the reliefs. Of course, and yeah, this all
[steph]: starts in the second period. I mean the first period. there were some great points. It just seemed like nothing was
[steph]: going in or they missed the ned or ding off the cross bar. Right, But something super Funny. I just before I forget
[steph]: in warm up Riano, Riley is doing his pre game ritual and then he showers himself with his bottle, which happens to
[steph]: have vial steel in it.
[roscoe]: Oh no,
[steph]: so he's covered in pink. Sit like. what the hell? looking down at his hand like, Am I bleeding No wrong water bottle, but
[roscoe]: That's funny.
[steph]: couldn't read the label, so he had to shower himself with the water and get on with his way. But that didn't This
[steph]: play because like I said earlier, the first shift was buzzing, second shift. Buzzing Leafs were on their third line
[steph]: change and Hab still had their first line out. They just
[roscoe]: Oh my
[steph]: made their
[roscoe]: lord,
[steph]: change a minute and thirty in because the leaves just hemmed them into the zone so much going on deflection ding like,
[steph]: Oh my God, shots, sixteen, thirteen to end the first period,
[roscoe]: And with that, let's start the show. I'm just kidding. It's way too late to play the intro. I just realize we haven't
[roscoe]: done that yet and it's like half an hour and
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: it's like Aveyuever,
[steph]: I did
[roscoe]: seen those shows
[steph]: in the beginning.
[roscoe]: where the cold open plays out, And then the intro starts and you have to like, literally check how long into the stream.
[roscoe]: This. it's like we're twelve minutes into the episode. It is far
[steph]: Uh,
[roscoe]: beyond where you're allowed to play the Ntro. You missed that opportunity. going town
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: through this. Don't through this. Anything passed
[steph]: Well,
[roscoe]: like three minutes. You missed your chance. It's the worst for. I think it was how I met your moth. I noticed that
[roscoe]: the most what it would be like beyond a cold open. It's like an entire scene plays out. They change locations that go
[roscoe]: back to the apartment and it's like Oh, first commercial play break. So let's play the introit like No,
[steph]: Him and
[roscoe]: Then
[steph]: him
[roscoe]: now you can't do that. Play it at the beginning. then
[steph]: Well for any new new listeners, welcome back to life's late night
[roscoe]: Yeah,
[steph]: presented by Inside the rank. This is Step, the fanalist. I'm with Rosco, who forgot to click the button and now we're
[steph]: back to
[roscoe]: Yeah,
[steph]: the game.
[roscoe]: now we're back. Um, yeah, you can
[steph]: Oh
[roscoe]: you
[steph]: man,
[roscoe]: can finish up with a game. There's more like I said. He's more trade stuff I want to talk about, but I missed this
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: so I'll get to see the debut of these guys tomorrow night.
[steph]: Yah leave second period. Oh my God, three goals from the leaves, one from Josh Anderson, which honestly, Wall had
[steph]: no chance. It was deflected in front through traffic. A point shot from Matheson Anderson, just got the dip and of
[steph]: course he certified. Just stamp it on his forehead, Certified leaf killer. Boom,
[roscoe]: Sort
[steph]: and it's
[roscoe]: of,
[steph]: one. Nothing.
[roscoe]: I don't get it. It's so frustrating that somebody. uh, yeah, I don't know. Don't get it. He has such a mediocre season,
[roscoe]: and like all of his goals coming against the leaves, like he's paid five million dollars just to be good for a couple
[roscoe]: of games against Toronto.
[steph]: Okay, I saw a tweet, but I just got to check real quick. Where is his name? Josh Anderson only has six assists this year,
[steph]: so he's played fifty three games. He has twenty one points for fifteen goals and six asses. like come on,
[roscoe]: I
[steph]: Dan.
[roscoe]: know I can't. He's just not a play maker, and I get not being a play maker and not collecting assist. But like how
[roscoe]: do you not get more than six secondary assist? Like the amount of goals to Zookiin Field for scoring like he's just
[roscoe]: so far removed from anything going on there.
[steph]: Yeah, exactly. but the good thing about this second period to the right after to answer to Josh Anderson. the Leafs convert
[steph]: on their first power play opportunity, which is always a good sign. We want them to sink that ship real quick. Get the
[steph]: years a flowing and it happens to come off P. P. To so Bunting gets the goal. Sanden dumps the puck before entering
[steph]: the zone and Matthews collects it around the boards. cross crease, pass up and over, Ellen Older, because Bunting
[steph]: is right there down on one knee seventeenth goal this season man, good news for bunting.
[roscoe]: I just got to shout out the habzonredit account on Twitter. Our slash halves. Guess what they said about the game Tonight.
[steph]: Do we cheat it or something?
[roscoe]: Leaves are about to get their first win in three games versus the hubs this season, and all it took was Monahan Goole,
[roscoe]: Galigerslavkovsky, Evans, Edmonson, Jack Koffield
[steph]: No
[roscoe]: and Dog to be out with injuries or sickness. Impressive, very nice.
[steph]: Well, hubs have also allowed at least four goals in the last seven of eleven games that they have played. They just lost
[steph]: the Carolina six two. And what the funks going on? Mardi looks really pissed behind the bench. He looked mad the entire
[steph]: time and I don't know, man, it's a problem when your newest people like your. Your prospects are coming in. Your.
[steph]: Your rookies are kind of carrying the game for you because you have Harris, who just signed a deal. Um, they also had Peseta,
[steph]: who was also a beast every single game, but he's also rookie. There was another guy on De, who actually tried to challenge
[steph]: Matthews after he dropped sazooki, but kind of accidentally like Zook, just fell on his ass. So
[roscoe]: O,
[steph]: covicovsevic,
[roscoe]: Et Kovisevich,
[steph]: Ovis,
[roscoe]: and
[steph]: Covisevich,
[roscoe]: Baron, And what's
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: this guy's name? Shone Shunaman
[steph]: She, she.
[roscoe]: Lone in Bell Zeal. Like the amount of people in this game that I have never heard of that is so unfortunate for the
[roscoe]: Canadians. I know you're trying to lose. but like my god, that sucks.
[steph]: Yeah, Matthews literally smiles him off of him
[roscoe]: Uh,
[steph]: when he tries to push him like, Yeah, okay, but like who the fuck are you right?
[roscoe]: Yeah, I mean, even at thirty
[steph]: But
[roscoe]: shots, Montreal was reduced to like eight and nine in the second and third period, so
[steph]: No,
[roscoe]: forty one to three shots
[steph]: A good thing you're here tonight Because Pierre involved shoots the puck. Ellen saves it. It sneaks
[roscoe]: M.
[steph]: through. Oh my God, you got to watch this replying. When you get a chance, it literally drops between his legs and it
[steph]: trickles And he does like a back flip to check And it's in and we're all shocked
[roscoe]: Oh, man, well,
[steph]: draft
[roscoe]: I've got.
[steph]: power.
[roscoe]: I tried to watch it, but there's an add so I'll catch it in like
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: six, five, four, three, two, a couple of seconds. M. So how did? obviously we had? We found out that the liosamazona
[roscoe]: Okay. Actually, here, I'm just gonna ach the goal first. Okay, So but fighting in the corner because he's big, Chad and
[roscoe]: valve.
[steph]: M.
[roscoe]: Oh my god, See, that's how I should be scoring. Slam somebody in the corner. Give me the puck bigger than you and
[roscoe]: just
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: throw it on net like, just force your way through. I don't care if that created a rebound or went in the net. That
[roscoe]: is exactly what Pieringball should be doing. I hope he does more of it and I hope that's what Play off an Pierre
[steph]: Yep.
[roscoe]: Loff and Go Ngvall looks like.
[steph]: So no, no on on Twitter was
[roscoe]: Oh
[steph]: like,
[roscoe]: no, no,
[steph]: What is Pierre Ingvall going to bring to the playoffs and immediately after Pier in Val, Scores? so
[roscoe]: What's that?
[steph]: we were saying that Yeah, he summoned the beast. The beast was unleashed from involved tonight and it was always nice
[steph]: to see, especially when you have bunting bunting, Ingvalneelander camp. All four lines worked
[roscoe]: That's
[steph]: off
[roscoe]: awesome
[steph]: Our lines. scored pretty much right.
[roscoe]: And that's what you want
[steph]: and
[roscoe]: out of a trade is like.
[steph]: yeah,
[roscoe]: Especially if you're trying to bolster every body right like, it's hard to bring two guys in to effect four lions. But
[roscoe]: that's really what tubes did, because you can spread people
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: out and put them in the spots they are supposed to be, instead of filling holes where you were lacking. And I think
[roscoe]: this was the best possible. you know. move with the least spend. I did not think you get this much for that little
[roscoe]: out.
[steph]: Carrie could have had a couple tonight. That similar play like Ingvall there, getting in front of the net. A chare
[steph]: was all over that tonight and throwing his body around with five hits. Um, then David camp right third period goal.
[steph]: I know Knee landers scored before him, but it's always just this cherry on top for me when David Camp scores first and
[steph]: twenty eight, so it's nice to see these types of guys get activated again and put on a show, The new guys and say,
[steph]: listen, Okay, this is the type of play we're used to and this is the expectation. Goals come from everywhere and we're
[steph]: going to continue that.
[roscoe]: Yeah, just to to end off our trade, talk here, especially the Riley one. And then I want to talk about the goals. I posted
[roscoe]: a pole on Twitter yesterday right after the deal, saying, Is this deal enough to do us an extension? and from just under
[roscoe]: two hundred votes, have you seen what the results are?
[steph]: No, Actually,
[roscoe]: It's stayed pretty much the same From about, I would say just under a hundred here to just under two hundred, and
[roscoe]: it's sixty nine percent. Yes, beautiful trade, thirty one per cent. No results or bust. So I mean it's not like it's
[roscoe]: completely one sided. I would say like seventy thirty is still enough of the audience that not everyone is convinced
[roscoe]: that I would say. It's just like you know a couple of people that are just being negative. Like it's a fair point that
[roscoe]: You know you can make this trade. But until something happens and they're able to actually turn this into success,
[roscoe]: it's hard for that to mean something. but as far as Dubishis extension goes, I mean the trade is all he can do. Like
[roscoe]: the actual bringing in of players is the only thing he can effect like everything is in motion. As far as the decisions
[roscoe]: he's made, it's all on the players after that, so I think it's hard to say that the results are on him. I think he
[roscoe]: has done with this trade, and probably And more enough to show like he's worth keeping around like it's We're talking
[roscoe]: about extending somebody we're not talking about. like you know, Are they the best ever? Is he the most fantastic
[steph]: Hm,
[roscoe]: g, M on the planet? I don't know. That's not what we're talking about. Do I want him to keep being the gem of this team?
[roscoe]: Yes, because I don't think there's anybody better out there right now For us that's available.
[steph]: Yeah, seriously, for the price, you can't turn it down. And even tonight Riano, Riley was twelve out of fourteen on the
[steph]: dot.
[roscoe]: Oh, my gosh. what
[steph]: Yeah, yeah, no, no, was it was a little bit less. I think he was four out of eleven, but honestly
[roscoe]: A little.
[steph]: he always worked. but he recovered, you know, and like, he had a presence on the ice and He was noticeable. so
[roscoe]: I
[steph]: thirty
[roscoe]: mean.
[steph]: six percent on the dot, but I think that gets better with time.
[roscoe]: Yeah, it's hard to be impactful and noticeable in your first game and the fact that both of them were you know in such
[roscoe]: high responsibility roles, like I said, Cary was killing penalties the most minutes of any forward on the penalty kill
[roscoe]: tonight Like they at least trust him. So that's something.
[steph]: Yeah, M. Joseph Wall getting his first win at the Scotia Bank arena.
[roscoe]: Yeah,
[steph]: Um,
[roscoe]: so Sammy,
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: with an illness, we find that out just before the game starts, so nothing to be concerned about. I think
[steph]: Might be a bug. I think it's maybe like like the flue or something,
[roscoe]: The bug forcing the ebag.
[steph]: Which Sarandour Discord pointed out that the leaves are over the maximum amount of contracts, but it's listed and read
[steph]: because emergency call up. So there is chagrin baby Gol, backing up, Joseph Wall, and the leaves obviously had to send
[steph]: down to, so the only two who were not who are waver exempt are Pontus Homburg and Wade Simmons.
[roscoe]: Oh boy,
[steph]: So they go down to make space. We have to call up the two goals. We have one on emergency loan basis, and here we are
[steph]: hoping that Sammy feels better soon so we can smile with him.
[roscoe]: They also moved Matt Murray to long term injured reserve, So all I can take from this is they're just going to let him
[roscoe]: rest up to be their tandem slashed, probably the back up heading into the playoffs, but I think it, just it allows
[roscoe]: him to get back on to a hundred per cent and for them to make some moves here like it's It's gymnastics. It's dumb
[roscoe]: cap ship, and it's an injured goal, so it's a good combo for them right now. I mean, I don't hate it. It's just silly.
[roscoe]: I'm just going to go back to how dumb the cap is that they have to have somebody take a rest in order to make trades.
[roscoe]: It's like
[steph]: Yeah, do you wan to go to questions? We have
[roscoe]: Yeah,
[steph]: a couple
[roscoe]: I was
[steph]: here.
[roscoe]: just saying we're getting a bunch here like late, so I'm glad we're We're like
[steph]: Oh
[roscoe]: getting to this. There's been a ton
[steph]: nice,
[roscoe]: of them. Come in while we're recording. like over the last
[steph]: Um,
[roscoe]: half hour.
[steph]: Sheldon Keith, Also a hundred and fiftieth win
[roscoe]: Wow.
[steph]: as a head coach. Yeah,
[roscoe]: Uh. okay,
[steph]: but I just want to say one more thing before we get to the questions because
[roscoe]: Yeah,
[steph]: just based off your pole there, I had a thought in mind that I lost my thought, but it came back thirty
[roscoe]: Good,
[steph]: percent of people. right, um, I kind of don't blame them. They want to see the result or bust, Because we were once in
[steph]: this position where we gave up a first. in Others, Nick Felina comes in captain of the Columbus Bluejackets, Complete
[steph]: bust or well, he was injured and it just didn't work out right like it. Just
[roscoe]: Was he the captain? Yeah,
[steph]: Yes,
[roscoe]: he
[steph]: he
[roscoe]: was.
[steph]: was the captain.
[roscoe]: Holy,
[steph]: So and there was the whole historic thing with his father being a former leaf and everyone was so piped. So do people stay
[steph]: on the hype train, which is you know, mentioned in one of our questions. You might as well, Mike. Mike, the fanatic
[steph]: says, Are
[roscoe]: Happy
[steph]: us
[roscoe]: Birthday,
[steph]: life
[roscoe]: Mice
[steph]: fans happy belated birthday? Mike. Yes, Mysa. are us Lise fans overhyping this team after the trade or does this team
[steph]: officially feel different? Realistically How far do each of you think they can go this year? It's a fair question, right,
[steph]: Like are people overhyping it or what like? Is this another captain to our collection? That's just gonna collect dust On
[steph]: the I R shelf, because he just came off if I, r, or will he be impactful along with his fellow former blue.
[roscoe]: Like half of the league has been on this season. It's
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: it's either like I said a cat maneuver or it's people have just been getting hurt a lot. It's a physical game and they're
[roscoe]: giving guys a rest because I think it's becoming more common place to just if guys aren't a hundred per cent. Instead
[roscoe]: of putting them out there and potentially hurting the more, just throw them on. I call somebody up. You've got so many
[roscoe]: players and you're so restricted with how many you can have up. It's almost an opportunity. It's a blessing and disguise
[roscoe]: kind of thing. Every Somebody gets hurt.
[steph]: Yeah, yeah,
[roscoe]: Uh, yeah,
[steph]: But
[roscoe]: where was
[steph]: for
[roscoe]: it
[steph]: the
[roscoe]: going?
[steph]: question, M overhyping this team after the trade. I mean, we got to stay positive. There's so much to look forward to,
[steph]: especially with his cabinet of trophies and enlist nominations for the trophies. right.
[roscoe]: I think overhype is the wrong word. I think it's just people weren't expecting him to swing for the fence Is like.
[roscoe]: I know. it's been talked about like Freedman has been saying. You know, Leave nation, like watch out. He's going to
[roscoe]: make a big move. There's going to be a block buster here, but you know we just we never see it. It's always been
[roscoe]: like I said before the people that you're not expecting. It's something out of left field. It's never the top names we
[roscoe]: talked about Riley being unaffordable. you know multiple times, so I
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: think it's fair that people are shocked and excited about this because it's not something he typically does, and
[roscoe]: that means that he has the confidence this year to spend something that he wouldn't normally spend like. I mean, if he
[roscoe]: had the same confidence last year, we would have gotten who was the big name at the deadline last year. That I'm forgetting
[roscoe]: it wasn't huge. Right
[steph]: Um,
[roscoe]: There was
[steph]: good
[roscoe]: somebody
[steph]: question.
[roscoe]: I
[steph]: There
[roscoe]: can't
[steph]: was
[roscoe]: remember,
[steph]: a lot the well last summer anyways, the big ones where Hubert and cadre and Chuck, and, but for deadline
[roscoe]: Right Burns.
[steph]: purposes,
[roscoe]: And yeah,
[steph]: Um,
[roscoe]: I'm trying to remember
[steph]: you
[roscoe]: who
[steph]: know
[roscoe]: the big name was
[steph]: Colorado. Yeah, and like Tampa and Colorado acquired bottom six players That really helped them send them over the
[steph]: edge and some, D, like Josh Manson, for example, For For the Abs, and Um. who was it for
[roscoe]: Here.
[steph]: Tampa?
[roscoe]: I'm looking at dead line last year. When was it?
[roscoe]: It was like February, wasn't it?
[steph]: Yeah, it's
[roscoe]: Oh no,
[steph]: two weeks away. No, it's March March third,
[roscoe]: But when did they do it last year? It was late as March twenty something. Yeah, here was like March twenty first last
[roscoe]: year,
[steph]: Okay,
[roscoe]: Max Dome, Victor Bras, Tyler, Mesnikof, Brasard,
[roscoe]: Andrew
[steph]: Mark
[roscoe]: Cop,
[steph]: Gerda,
[roscoe]: Andrew
[steph]: Andrew caught.
[roscoe]: Cop was
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: a big one, Riley Nash, Artery Luck, And so
[steph]: We
[roscoe]: it
[steph]: got
[roscoe]: wasn't
[steph]: a
[roscoe]: John. Yeah,
[steph]: licking
[roscoe]: it wasn't
[steph]: in.
[roscoe]: like. Yeah, capcackand, Mark Andre flurry, Brian, little. Yeah,
[steph]: Oh yeah,
[roscoe]: so it
[steph]: flurry,
[roscoe]: was like it wasn't a big first line forward though, so I think that's why this year it was like everybody was just
[roscoe]: expecting it to go somewhere else. You know, Boston always gets the toys
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: they want. That's why we're allowed to be excited about this. Yes, we
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: have to wait for the results. But as I said, this is dubusis. Job is to you know, between now and March third, make
[roscoe]: the best moves he can, and it's up to the team to do the rest and I think he's put them in a really good position
[roscoe]: to spread everybody out. Play the spot that they are the best with the amount of responsibility they were comfortable
[roscoe]: with, and I think it's going to lead to great results in the play off. So as far as how far I think they can go, Eastern
[roscoe]: conference final against the Rangers is gonna be really hard.
[steph]: Yeah, honestly, does this team feel officially different? It's too soon. I think it was super night seeing two elite lions
[steph]: just going out and no holes. I mean, we saw J T tonight and it's not like he was horrible. He still did his job and everything
[steph]: was as great when leaves one. But give it at least ten games right, Like just to jell with the boys, and maybe test
[steph]: Rianallriley on the third line center, just to see
[roscoe]: Yeah,
[steph]: or play around a little. And yeah, but obviously it does feel different. I feel like Nick Felina was like a Ranallriley
[steph]: light in a sense, and this is like the real
[roscoe]: Yeah,
[steph]: deal this time right, like Nick Falino's worst game or best game is probably Ryan's worst game in my opinion, so
[roscoe]: And and with what we
[steph]: yeah,
[roscoe]: saw from Saint Louis last year, where what was it? Eight or nine guys had over twenty goals. Like the potentials
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: there this year. They just can't find it and they're falling apart, so I'm glad that we're getting him before. it's
[roscoe]: been too long removed from his good years. It's it's
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: just been this season and honestly being hurt, I'd rather be hurt than be with this garbage team for the last fifty games
[roscoe]: and all.
[steph]: He's not going to have any any goal swinging at him. He's not going to any
[roscoe]: No,
[steph]: hot heads or anything, but realistically. Obviously, I think the leaves can go all the way on paper. They are solid
[steph]: and on ice as well. It depends if they want to play the right way that night right. but Atlantic
[roscoe]: I just think
[steph]: division is the hardest.
[roscoe]: yeah, I just think it's going to be once if they can get past Tampa. Um. it's going to probably be Boston, and then
[roscoe]: Rangers would be the route
[steph]: M.
[roscoe]: if I'm not mistaken. Um, and I think
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: that's going to be really, really, really, really hard. Like Tampa is probably the most beatabule followed by Boston
[roscoe]: and then the Rangers, but they're pretty close there. Like with the moves the Rangers have made to bring in Terrisanco,
[roscoe]: and the fact that they've got Casteran back there like their defense is that little bit better. I just I'm scared of
[roscoe]: playing the Rangers now, man, it's crazy they
[steph]: Yeah, we
[roscoe]: able
[steph]: have
[roscoe]: to put
[steph]: Shastirkin,
[roscoe]: together
[steph]: Vasalevski All mark great.
[roscoe]: Old Mark is having a good season. He's not. I don't know. Don't put
[steph]: No,
[roscoe]: him.
[steph]: I mean
[roscoe]: It's crazy to
[steph]: it's
[roscoe]: put
[steph]: hard.
[roscoe]: him in a conversation with those two. but yeah, this year has been insane for him.
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: Okay,
[steph]: but the
[roscoe]: other questions,
[steph]: next question N. so just going off Rianalriley, Mike, D as now that he is a leaf. If he stays, What does his next contract
[steph]: look like?
[roscoe]: This is interesting because he's thirty two, so he's not in like end of his career mode where he's going to sign for
[roscoe]: seven hundred and fifty k, or eight hundred, whatever it is next year, but I do think there's a world where he takes
[roscoe]: a couple mill to stick around, because I mean at thirty two he has had quite a few years of making between six and eight
[roscoe]: million a year. That maybe he would rather stay here, especially if they find this success in the playoffs. Make it
[roscoe]: through a few
[steph]: Yeah?
[roscoe]: rounds. I could see him sticking around if it's a first round of exit. I don't think there's any chance. But if he has
[roscoe]: a really good second half of the year here and they go on a deep run, he could do it because he's not going to get
[roscoe]: that. I mean, you're really starting over again. If you do that somewhere else. He's an Ontario guy. I think it's
[roscoe]: possible that they could work out of deal. It's just a matter of, Does that then force your hand in a year or two
[roscoe]: with your new land Deal or your Matthew's deal. So I don't want anything at's
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: gonta hurt that, so I'd say the most you can give him is like three million and you've got to get rid of somebody like
[roscoe]: like cur foot in order
[steph]: Her
[roscoe]: to
[steph]: foot,
[roscoe]: make it work Like if, if you're bringing a Riley into replace Alex Currfoot a thousand per cent Because he's that,
[roscoe]: but better and more consistent.
[steph]: M, hm.
[roscoe]: I just, it's going to be on Riley whether he wants to take that hit in his pocket to to stick around with the leaves,
[roscoe]: Kari,
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: I think is the the more interesting one to resign, because if he works, you can get him on Val, like Deal, and a couple
[roscoe]: of those guys are all running out this year, so it's going to be kind of up to dubs who he wants to keep around for
[roscoe]: the bottom six.
[steph]: Too many clowns in the clown car. We did not give up anyone yet beside some Marley's. So got to make the decision.
[steph]: The ability you know to play center was an attractive aspect about cur foot or utility knife. Now we have a char who
[steph]: can play center as well as Ran Riley. So you got to you kind of got a pick, because also on the P. Q, you, the leaves
[steph]: have marner in Val, camp r, r. a char yarn Croke Are right and it's like you got to make the decision now, the hard
[steph]: decisions of who's staying and who's going, and as we were speculating who's going to the leaves, I think we all agreed
[steph]: on it or hoped. anyways. I remember, I said I hope it's a hometown boy so that they can take a discount because Kyle
[steph]: Dubs said he's only goin to go after people who are interested in staying, And Riley already said Torone was on his short list
[steph]: Of teams he was interested in when he's going to test free agency in the summer, so
[roscoe]: Okay,
[steph]: now he's getting a sneak peak. Yep, sneak peak early and he has the option of staying or not and it has to be a good
[steph]: friendly team friendly deal. He has to have the dog in him like bunting, who is also going to take a team friendly deal
[steph]: to play with his boys, and yeah, live at home, the dream, the childhood dream, play your thousand games, Trying to make
[steph]: believe, retire as a leaf,
[roscoe]: I
[steph]: But
[roscoe]: like
[steph]: to
[roscoe]: it,
[steph]: do so, you have to meet us halfway,
[roscoe]: Please. The next
[steph]: Please.
[roscoe]: one
[steph]: please.
[roscoe]: comes from our very own Ja, Ben. Just in being
[steph]: Oh
[roscoe]: the banner, how will the other teams in the East match up against the face off prowess of the leaves Now? So if you
[roscoe]: didn't catch on our last episode, we matched the Rangers, the Devils and the Hurricanes, bottom stick up against the leaves.
[roscoe]: Sorry, the Bruins. Um, I think they, with the addition, These two guys, like I was saying, it's it would be nice to add
[roscoe]: somebody to the top of six, but they really needed as the bottom six. This somehow covers all of those bases with sending
[roscoe]: the least out the door, so I'm fine. I think they're going to be more on par with Boston's bottom six where it normally
[roscoe]: feels like their bottom six s is kind of taking ours out to lunch and it's kind of on the defense of the whole time.
[roscoe]: We're just trying to clear the pack. I feel We can actually generate some offense now and get some scoring from the bottom
[roscoe]: six, which is something that other teams have over us. Still.
[steph]: Yeah, and especially on the dot, we are already seventh overall in the league. fifty two point three percent, But watch
[steph]: that number just go up,
[roscoe]: Oh hundred
[steph]: especially
[roscoe]: percent
[steph]: our power play. Last game. We were sitting at fourth. We drop down to six again, twenty five percent. Now that we have
[steph]: Rinoriley on P. P. two, it's it's lethal. It's lethal. You have bunting, being a little snaky snake in front of the
[steph]: goal. You have yarn crow You to shoot that at any point San dine with a blast. Now you have Rianalriley and Ingvall.
[steph]: come on, bunch of shooters. so
[roscoe]: Bunch of shooters. M.
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: Next one comes from. Let's go to a blue and white Sapper. Do you think the team was stoked about the new toys Dubus got
[roscoe]: them, or what? And do you think dubs s a couple more up his sleeve? as we've said? I think he does just because he
[roscoe]: can. pardon me.
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: Do I think the team is excited about them. It's hard not to be. I think adding Somebody that's a name like that, like
[roscoe]: Ranald Riley, that's a captain and somebody that all of them have played a ton of games against. It's
[steph]: M.
[roscoe]: hard not to be excited about that.
[steph]: Yeah, I believe Go said today. when asked his, his response was that he was worried about who left the team. Honestly like
[steph]: he wasn't worried about who's coming. They're worried about who's going, And that's the mind set of this team right
[steph]: there. They're all friends in the locker room, so obviously they're super static. Even Go, said like, I'm just glad we didn't
[steph]: lose anyone at the end of the day, So Today is a good day for the buds, because they're only adding at this point in
[steph]: time. in the future, tears may shed, especially if you know Curve foot is out the door. For example, I think it's going
[steph]: to hurt for some, but it's the business and that's exactly what they'll say. It's it's the business.
[roscoe]: Yep, next one comes from Ryan Williams, Ut. At what is this? At one? seven o six, Ryan. So can we forget about the
[roscoe]: Columbus game and just called this one ball's first game of the season? Yeah, what Columbus game?
[steph]: Yeah, a hat.
[roscoe]: We didn't even talk about
[steph]: next?
[roscoe]: it. Next.
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: Run it back for ever at Tmlfanand Van, K. Marty Zilstra, is Rana Riley good at and I'm going to do it, Hawke in air quotes,
[steph]: What kind of hockey actually ran? Riley is. Um, I follow the Saint Louis Blues on Instagram as well. They always post
[steph]: clips of him practicing. you know, using a ball against the wall with his stick just fucking around. not even Figaro,
[steph]: just just playing around with his hand, eye coordination. And he's really good at what he does using different types of
[steph]: weighted balls and and such like, kind of like what Goles do. But he does it with the Ick, and of course he's good at hawke.
[steph]: Come on, even has a Hawke smile.
[roscoe]: So the answer yes, Rianall Riley is good at hockey. Thank you for the question. Good one
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: next comes from Benito the Basset hound. What's it like to have a five on three power play? I forget. Yeah, I didn't
[roscoe]: realize this until somebody pointed this out on Twitter. Leaps have not had one, or they've had one.
[steph]: Yeah, so they've had zero so far this year, Whereas with the Winnepeg Jets has has had three in their last game alone,
[steph]: the leaves have not been off on a five on three advantage and they should have been so many times. So this is our tin foil
[steph]: hat growing once again and I am totally with you. Benito,
[roscoe]: That is
[steph]: the basket down.
[roscoe]: insane. he says, I forget. I'll stop now. had some whisky and going to bed. Catch the show in the morning. you all rock
[roscoe]: you rock To be.
[steph]: Oh
[roscoe]: Also, Did
[steph]: yeah,
[roscoe]: you see
[steph]: you rock.
[roscoe]: how Matt Austin was after dragging the pack out of the corner with two abs on his back to pass to two back door Bill
[roscoe]: for the tap in? I don't think he realized they were going to call a penalty.
[steph]: Yeah, man, this, this was a nice cool and William Ne Lander tonight almost did the thing he did last game nine seconds
[steph]: into the peri. The first period, you know, wrap around the to, and in his attempt didn't work because Allan squeezed.
[steph]: but this one man, I don't know how Matthews was able to feed with all that traffic Cross crease did not miss man lander.
[steph]: Is he's evolved? Okay, They show this that tonight he's averaging what? one point one, seven points a game, and Um, throughout
[steph]: his career, those numbers just steadily went up last year. It was point nine. nine, damn William
[roscoe]: Last part
[steph]: Manlander,
[roscoe]: of Benito's question, can I get some dogs treats, or can I get some treats? Or is he only dangle That does that? So
[roscoe]: does dangle give dog treats?
[steph]: Um, isn't that victory puppy thing in the beginning? or does he give away? I don't know. I haven't watched one of
[steph]: those in a long time.
[roscoe]: We'll send you some treats. How about that? How about that?
[steph]: How about that? Send us your address?
[roscoe]: Send you one.
[steph]: Um, ah,
[roscoe]: That's all the questions I have.
[steph]: Um. I just want to say Mike. D had a fun question. What's your favorite banker from Marti Zilstra?
[roscoe]: Oh, I've shouted it up before, but there is a song that I've always finding myself going back to
[roscoe]: everything on Boom Chick is sweet if you're trying to get into the game. But there's one from his older ones. Oh my
[roscoe]: gosh, it's from the dragon
[steph]: Wasn't
[roscoe]: in spider.
[steph]: it called music? There
[roscoe]: Now it's
[steph]: is
[roscoe]: called
[steph]: one called
[roscoe]: Moon
[steph]: Moon, Sorry
[roscoe]: From the dragon Fly
[steph]: or
[roscoe]: and
[steph]: there's
[roscoe]: the spider.
[steph]: one called. There's one called the music. That's really cool. I enjoy. I totally agree with you there. The whole boom
[steph]: Chica album is awesome. Of course, Rattled the glass is elite. Um, I don't know. I like all of his music. I'm very
[steph]: fortunate enough that where Marty sometimes sends me music clips of songs that he's
[roscoe]: He
[steph]: creating.
[roscoe]: same.
[steph]: Yeah, and I really enjoy that. So thank you, Marty. I appreciate that and check out his music, guys, Marti Zis,
[roscoe]: I like this one because it's spacy and like,
[steph]: It s a sweet sweet voice.
[roscoe]: Yeah, it reminds me of animal Collective, but it's better than Animal Collective.
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: So
[steph]: he's cool.
[roscoe]: anything you want to close out with? because I just have one little quick thing.
[steph]: No, tomorrow. the game is at six p M, Eastern time for anyone who is not aware, and we will be in Chicago.
[roscoe]: So
[steph]: So
[roscoe]: Monday's
[steph]: yeah,
[roscoe]: family day
[steph]: But no good game. I'm glad we got the points against the freakinghabs
[roscoe]: Thank
[steph]: but
[roscoe]: you.
[steph]: yeah, freak,
[roscoe]: Um, So I got Howlcorts Legacy to talk about this in her last episode.
[steph]: You spoke about this. I don't know if we were recording or not.
[roscoe]: Okay, sorry if I've talked about this already, but now that I've put like twelve hours into this game, I have an honest
[steph]: No,
[roscoe]: review of it. Find for like
[steph]: Okay,
[roscoe]: I like a week that's normal right so it's visually stunning. The the actual landscapes and the buildings and the lighting
[roscoe]: and everything. I'm playing it on P. C, with a pretty good graphic card, to be fair, but it looks really really good.
[roscoe]: The faces of people Likenpcs aren't great, but the actual world looks gorgeous. Flying around on a broom is like
[steph]: M,
[roscoe]: so cool. It's so satisfying to hop on your broom and fly around and cast spells. And like the amount of spells you
[roscoe]: can get, it's just a very satisfying Hogwart's experience. Like what you'd expect from being a wizard or which the side
[roscoe]: quests are fun? There's a lot of like stuff you can do. There's a big world to explore If you're into the part World
[roscoe]: where I don't like the game is the actual
[steph]: Hm,
[roscoe]: and this sounds crazy, but like the story itself is not that great, even though the game is really fun. Still like
[roscoe]: I'm going a finish it and I'm going to enjoy all of it except for the few main story quest. like there's so many
[roscoe]: other things you can do and explore. But like the actual things that they lead you down that they've written for this
[roscoe]: game, don't make a lot of sense. It's supposed to take place a hundred years Or Harry Potter, And you're like
[steph]: Oh,
[roscoe]: this kid who joins as a fifth year student who can see ancient magic or something. Sorry, there's going to be spoilers
[roscoe]: If you want to get through the game. I'm trying a trying not to spoil it too much. but like you can see ancient magic,
[roscoe]: which the like these old magicians like, left behind clues and you're supposed to follow them to find this thing that
[roscoe]: they hid. and it's like Why is if this is a hundred years before Harry, Or why does none of this come up through?
[roscoe]: Like the seven books. Like, like,
[steph]: M.
[roscoe]: there's some things that they took liberties with, And I get it, But like this just seemed like it was out of left field
[roscoe]: and they make its main character syndrome where you're like, Oh, you're special and you can see things no one else can
[roscoe]: And you have to go on as a special journey. It's like No, I just want to be a student. I just want to go to class and
[roscoe]: kin some spells. I do this.
[steph]: How is the sound track? Does it live up to the You know, Harry Potter has a crazy sound track. They've done obviously
[steph]: crustrated Um concerts for it Now. Does this game have similar sound tracks?
[roscoe]: Yeah, I mean you get the Head Wags theme like the John Williams the
[roscoe]: like all the time
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: to the point where it's like a little repetitive. but it was kind of the fact that I took note of the fact that you
[roscoe]: can recognize an entire franchise by a short little melody that John Williams wrote, which is really cool and do
[roscoe]: that for you know, Star Wars and Et and Drastic Park, and all these Ere
[steph]: Yeah,
[roscoe]: home alone, like everything that he composed for you can literally recognize the entire franchise by by a short little
[roscoe]: melody.
[steph]: Nice.
[roscoe]: but the game. Yeah, the music is good. I like how it kind of changes based on what you're doing and I don't know the
[roscoe]: fact that they built out the world around the school like there's a bunch of little towns around like there's not
[roscoe]: just hogs me, there's little hamlets and stuff you can go to, And I don't know. I like exploring and like doing fun
[roscoe]: stuff, Ning treasure and things, And I just don't like being special. That makes sense. They just
[steph]: Well,
[roscoe]: made it seem like you were just like you got to go to school and be a student at Howard and do unship. Because like,
[steph]: Oh,
[roscoe]: sure, like I don't know, Harry. You supposed to be like special in the sense that he's special because his parents like
[roscoe]: saved him and this guy wants to finish off what he started. It's not like he was born with like a gift. The fact that you're
[roscoe]: like born with this thing and you're just like inherently good at stuff.
[steph]: M,
[roscoe]: That just I don't know. that just makes me feel like I don't. It's hard to. I don't know. I guess games are a lot
[roscoe]: of bit immersion. and when you feel like you're starting with a leg up on everybody and you have some some special task
[roscoe]: that like nobody else is a part of that like you have to go do on your own. You can't talk to anybody about it. It's
[roscoe]: just it's not very relatable. I know being a wizard isn't supposed to be, but they're supposed. You have to at least
[roscoe]: draw parallels from things to be like. You know, if this was my
[steph]: M.
[roscoe]: life and I was a wizard,
[steph]: Well, what I've been doing
[roscoe]: All that said, I gave
[steph]: is
[roscoe]: it like
[steph]: not
[roscoe]: a,
[steph]: that.
[roscoe]: seven and a half at a ten.
[steph]: There's a new show on Netflix called Perfect Match, which is literally another reality T V show that I have a guilty Pleasure
[steph]: for And it has all previous cast members from other shows. Sorry to change the topic on you,
[roscoe]: What.
[steph]: But like all of the contestants are either from Love is blind, the mole to halt to handle, or something related like
[steph]: that,
[roscoe]: Oh my God,
[steph]: they're
[roscoe]: send
[steph]: all
[roscoe]: me this.
[steph]: from next. Yes,
[roscoe]: Oh my God,
[steph]: four
[roscoe]: send
[steph]: episodes.
[roscoe]: me this.
[steph]: Yes, Oh my God, And it's a dating show.
[roscoe]: Of course,
[steph]: So they are all dating each other and but some of them are from Love is blind, So if you like it's interesting, they're
[steph]: different worlds. they connect. And if you're big fan of reality television, it's like, kind of like Rude, Paul's Drag
[steph]: Race All Stars. It's like all your favorites come come together in one show and you're like
[roscoe]: You know what other shows like that is on the beach. It's a British one that they started doing in North America,
[roscoe]: but everybody on it like the whole premise is that you go on to this island on resort or whatever it is, and they bring
[roscoe]: people in one by one, Is the same as any other of these dating resort shows, But once they have the like core, eight
[roscoe]: or ten people on everybody, that gets added to the group. Like every episode Like a bota. come in with two more people,
[roscoe]: and it's their axes from the shows that they were on Before, So they're all from like Big Brother U K, and like all
[roscoe]: these other M t V shows, and they'll bring on the people that they had drama with from other shows to be like. Oh, fuck,
[roscoe]: it's my girl friend. It's like. What on? though? So everybody going back with It's like what you guys have been together
[roscoe]: for like three weeks. Like No, it doesn't matter. But if she gets me, I'm just week. Flora.
[steph]: Wow. This show is the exact same whereas five girls, five boys, half of the girls and boys have already been to with
[steph]: one another, and they
[roscoe]: Always
[steph]: admit
[roscoe]: love
[steph]: that straight
[roscoe]: it.
[steph]: up to the camera,
[roscoe]: I love it already.
[steph]: And they choose to elect new people to come into the house, and literally every single time they've had a previous
[steph]: relation with them, or they were on the
[roscoe]: Oh
[steph]: show together, or like something fucked up,
[roscoe]: A time.
[steph]: they have to vote someone in, but they have to stay in a relationship in order to stay in the game so it gets really
[steph]: cut throat.
[roscoe]: There was a show that
[steph]: I don't
[roscoe]: we
[steph]: know.
[roscoe]: watched on You Tube last year was like it called Reality House and it was like kind of the same thing. It was just people
[roscoe]: from you Tube bought together to do this Big Brother type show. But one of the guys on it was Peter from season to
[roscoe]: oft to handle. I, Now, if you watched it, he was like the guy will
[steph]: Oh
[roscoe]: think, the like, the
[steph]: yeah,
[roscoe]: brown hair who was like the little, like short King.
[steph]: Yeah, yeah, well,
[roscoe]: He was like the big name that they got for the season of Reality House Was so funny.
[steph]: I haven't watched that one, but yeah, they even have winners on the show like Joy from season One of the Circle. The
[steph]: winner is on this show like it doesn't matter if you've won or lost in the past and
[roscoe]: If you came here for
[steph]: I
[roscoe]: hobby,
[steph]: don't know.
[roscoe]: I'm so sorry.
[steph]: Oh my God, stop paying recording. I know you didn't even get our intro and the outtrois just non existent now. and sorry,

[roscoe]: We got to watch this show on Netflix before I lose Netflix, because I think in like a couple of days it's going to lock to
[roscoe]: my parents hopes, and
[steph]: Oh,
[roscoe]: I don't want to do that.
[steph]: only four episodes are released at a time and chitty, so now I have to wait for the new one on Tuesday or whatever,
