Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb berthree, the rare and appropriate,
rare and appropriate hockey monologue. That's right, hockey, that's a
sport they play some of the year. How do you
grade Oilers coach Chris Knoblock's response to a question about
(00:20):
playoffs experience. Also, is this Stanley Cup matchup between Edmonton
and Florida an unmitigated disaster for the sport and the
oilers in Panthers gonna meet in the Stanley Cup finals
starting this weekend. Who you got I'm gonna tell you.
You don't even need to watch. I'm gonna tell who's
gonna win the Stanley Cup. We'll get to that and
much more. We also have Loraina, the Queen of Hearts,
(00:42):
who will return this hour. It's all coming away right now,
our number three. Get out to Zamboni, Grandma, Welcome. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
On a Newbie night, we are in the a everywhere
(01:02):
with bull dust as we avoid the snobbish, can't stand them,
coast to coast, border the border and beyond all the
vast and wonderfully powerful microphones of fsre emmnating live from
a stump as in a stump speech. We are broadcasting
(01:24):
live from the Tiraq dot com studios tyract dot com.
We'll help you get there. An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
ten thousand. Even the Scrooge smiles at that number. Tiract
dot com. The way tire buying should be by demand.
(01:47):
The rare and appropriate lead this hour Hockey. Benny Blue
Line is back. Benny Blue Line is back. We start
out in a fine Canadian prophce in the Mountain time
zone where this show is proudly broadcast all over Destination Edmonton,
(02:07):
the festival city of Canada. Oh cod up. The fun
gets started on Saturday. We're gonna wait till Saturday. Yeah, Saturday,
Oilers will lock horns with the Panthers. It's a dream
matchup great rivals. These are original six teams unless they're not,
(02:29):
unless they're not. Now, one of the storylines that caught
my attention this is what we call low hanging fruit
in the audio dojo. If you've been with me a
long time on this show, you know that I can't
help myself. I have no self control. It's like a
fat kid eating cookies. You can't stop after a couple.
You gotta keep eating them. It's part of the deal.
So I bring this up because one of the storylines
(02:51):
is about experience, not a game. Not a game. We're
talking about experience and the fact that advantage goes to Florida.
Just in the Stanley Cup Final, you would go Edmonton's coach
was quizzed about this. And now if you did not
hear what he had to say, perhaps not. We have
the audio. So the Oilers coach, Chris Knoblock, he paused
(03:12):
for a second and then he responded. He dropped the
guillotine when asked about the lack of postsenon experience and
how how this would all play out, and is this
a big advantage for the Florida Pans as well. Let's
go to the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, experience is good. I don't know, I don't know
how much experiences you know, beneficially, you can ask the
Buffalo Bills how how important Super Bowl experiences. But I
think the biggest thing is just having confidence to play.
And you know, when our guys are playing their best,
(03:48):
they should have a lot of confidence.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Okay, so he went cliche at the end of that.
But let's go Buffalo. That's a shot at the Bill's
mafia man. All right, So the question how do you
grade oilers? Coach noob Block's response on playoff experience? Playoffs experience.
So I've got Kermit the Frog, bar Mitzvah, and Global
Firepower Index, and we will combine all of these things
(04:12):
together and we will give you a migrain headache. Now,
first of all, let's say what you want about Chris Knoblock.
I was more of a Chuck knob Block guy. But bravo,
I say, bravo. He obviously did his homework. It's not
that hard. It's not that hard. If you've paid any
attention to any of these sporting events over the years,
(04:33):
and you reach a certain age, the age of reason,
you know going in that this line of questioning is
going to pop up. And he had this answer and
his holster and when asked the question, it was teed up.
It was t ball, and he unloaded and he hit
a moonshot to the upper deck, the upper deck moonshot,
(04:53):
and he also got, you know, poke at Jim Kelly
and Andre Reid and Thurman Thomas and Scott Norwood who
shanked it thirty years ago, ay, thirty years thirty plus years.
For some of those Buffalo Bills teams, it's dated. It
certainly is dated. But for the old timers who remember
(05:16):
Marv Levy, who used to work here and is still alive.
By the way, last I checked, ninety eight years old
Marv Levy, and when he worked here he looked like
he was already ninety eight. So I think he could
be the oldest person in the world. Marv Levy, the
old coach of the Bills, A very nice man, a
very nice man, and very lucky that he's been able
to live this long. But been taking a step back.
(05:39):
The postseason experienced line of questioning is low hanging fruit.
It is one of the most popular playoff tropes of
big time sporting events. In fact, I will gar run
to you that it does come up in conversation NBA
Finals experience. Now, Dallas does have Kyrie Irving, and he's
(06:00):
been to the finals with Lebron back in the day
and all that, and so you've got that going for
you for Dallas. But look at oh my god, he's
never played in the NBA finals. Oh, he's gonna poop
his pants. When he gets out there on the court,
he's gonna have a brown streak down his pants because
he's so nervous. And several other Dallas players, key players
for Dallas, have not tasted the NBA FI so that's
(06:22):
gonna come up. But this is about hockey. It is
about hockey, and that line of questioning and my response
in general to this line of questioning, it's and I
know that why this happens. He's like Kermit the frog
in a laboratory and everything's dissected under the microscope. But
the Panthers lost last year? Does it actually matter that
(06:42):
they lost? And the way this always works out, because
I've seen it year after year, if and this does
happen in a mess, if the Panthers win, there's a
dimension where the Florida Panthers win. There's one where Edmonton's
going to win. I'm in the one with Edmonton winning
in that dimension, But in the other dimension, it depends
if they win the Cup. Florida wins the Cup, punits
(07:05):
are going to claim that it was a factor, right,
it was a factor. And if the Oilers end up
hoisting up Lord Stanley Cup and everyone gets a week
off from work, and school and all that stuff. I
guess school's pretty much over anyway. But get a week
off and they win the Cup, and that that take
will will go away. Everyone have amnesia and so wow,
(07:27):
Well I didn't say that what you're talking about, it'll
be tossed into a ditch on the side of the road.
All that mattered, And this way I tried to explain
to Eddie, all that matters in these big time sporting
events is who plays well in the moment. And as
I was taught as a young sportscaster by the great
Dick Stockton, retired sportscaster, stats tell you what has happened,
not what's going to happen, So it doesn't matter. Otherwise,
(07:50):
why would we even bother watching the games? If the
better team won all the time, what is the point
in doing this. We're wasting our lives. We're all lose
if that's the case. A lot of you have mentioned
my said lot I got two emails on hockey, but
you were like, hey, I heard you say you gonna
do monologue about the Stanley Kubya. There's no chance the
(08:11):
Panthers are gonna win. You know who's in who's in
net for the Florida Panthers. I was like, well, okay, Sergia,
Sergei Barovsky, Okay, he's been Round've heard the name. He's
been around. He's in mid THIRTI he's been around a
long time. Got no chance, he said Stewart. One of
the guys are like Stuart Skinner, who's from Edmontine's the
Oilers goaltender. He's like, well, Stuart Skinner cannot possibly match
(08:33):
up Mono Amano with Barovsky in net. Okay, let's use football.
Let's use a football. And now she's call a football guy.
I'm old enough to remember. You probably don't know this.
You're probably too young. But there was a Super Bowl
matchup where Tom Brady the goat g oh eight goat,
goat goe. Tom Bradey played against Nick Foles, a scrub,
(08:56):
a stiff, a turg burger, Nick effing f in the
Super Bowl? Who won that? I forget who played better
that day? Better in the moment. Oh but it's a
seven game series, okay, so all you have to do
is be better four out of the seven games. Why can't
you do that? You can do that, Sure you can't.
(09:20):
That's why they play the games all right now. Secondly,
there's also been a lot of noise about and this
is actually mostly out of New York, about the lack
of juice, not pineapple juice, not not a apple juice
or grape juice. It's about the matchup lacking the genes
(09:41):
si quah if you will. And the question is this
Stanley Cup matchup? Is this Stanley Cup matchup between Edmonton
and Florida an unmitigated disaster for the sport of hockey?
Now my response to that, and I've always goofed on
these matchups that are just really odd. I remember we
(10:03):
in basketball we had Oklahoma City in the NBA Finals
one year and I think they played in Miami if
I remember correctly. There's been some weird oddity's is what
we call them. But you don't work for ABC, you
don't work for the NHL. It's not your problem. So
(10:24):
we do say, and I'm sure this will come up,
that it's a wellness check to see how your sport's
doing right. And on the surface, if you look at
what should happen, not what's going to happen, it doesn't
look good. ABC is going to get a zero rating
for half of their broadcast as the Stanley Cup Final
because their broadcast will not be shown in Edmonton. The
(10:47):
reason it won't be shown at Edmonton is because that
is a Canadian feed. They get their own candidate as
their own broadcast contract with the NHL. So South Florida
is also a soft sports market in general in terms
of passion. It's a lot of people not from there.
So overall, like I crunched the numbers on this, and
(11:07):
here's my determination. This is a carbon neutral finals, which
means it's like a zero sum game, is what It
means that you're not gonna gain many new fans from this,
but you're going to get the base. The base. It's
a niche sport. Hockey's a nicheport. You're gonna get the
hard ohs who are going to consume your product. They
would watch, it doesn't matter who's in the Stanley Cup Final.
(11:30):
They'll watch. You'll get a few stragglers. But to me,
the most important part of this and the reason I'm
pulling for my Edmonton Oilers, the most important part here
is the bar mitzvah for Connor McDavid. He has been
anointed for years God's gift to hockey. Well, you get
to a different place in the atmosphere if you win
(11:52):
the Cup, and especially with an Edmonton team that appears
to be lacking in so many areas. But this is
his opportunity, right, this is a chance to grow little
hair on his chest and all that and take on
a team that is favored, that has home ie advantage
whatever that's worth in the Florida Panthers and an undermined
team by most accounts, and turn Edmonton back to a champion.
(12:16):
Now final fought here, So let's get down to it
right now here we go on a new Mee night
Panthers versus Oilers, Stanley Cup Final. Who you got? I'll
go first. You're gonna be shocked by this analysis, in
this hockey heavy malamnolog but no WNBA, all hockey, all hockey.
So don't complain. Okay, you idiots, don't complain? Don't Who
(12:39):
should I care about your hockey takes?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Shut up? Anyway, we are going. Here we go, Panthers, Oilers?
Who you got? You make the call. As you may
or may not know, I am a distant relative of
Nostre damis, friend of Nostradenas, and I own a magic
eight ball and a crystal ball. I have all of
those things to look into the future and all co
(13:06):
Edmonton in six, Edmonton in six, hoist up the cup.
And here's why. Let me tell you my how I
got you know, you know you macclass. You have to
show how you got the answers and all that. Yeah.
I always looked to the Global Firepower Index, very important,
(13:29):
very very poarch. So the Global Firepower Index, and I
looked it up. The top four playoff scorers in the
NHL this postseason, all of them Edmonton Oilers, the four
top scoring players. Now, again, that's what they have done.
That's not necessarily what they're going to continue to do.
But we base many of our predictions and analysis based
(13:49):
on what has happened. So turbotastic led by Connor McDavid
five goals thirty one points in eighteen games on dry sidle,
they in to the ten goals twenty eight points in
eighteen games. The leading scorer overall in the playoffs, Zach
Hyman fourteen goals in terms of putting the puck in
the neck, biscuitting the basket fourteen goals in eighteen games.
(14:13):
And the Oilers here's another thing. You want to hear
from Garcia, he's a hockey heater. The Edmonton Oilers have
killed their penalty killing unit shorthanded. The Oilers, they've defended
out of forty nine penalties, forty six they have stopped.
In the postseason forty six out of forty nine. They
(14:34):
were fourteen of fourteen on the penalty kill against the
Dallas Stars. I mean, that gets you so excited you
want to drive a zamboni when you hear that stack.
And Loraina told me they're peaking at the right time.
That's what you say. They're peaking at the right time.
And so Edmonton will become the first Canadian team to
hoist the Stanley Cup since the Montreal Canadian back in
(14:54):
nineteen ninety three. It is the Ban Malers Show. You'd

bullet holes. Guess by donkey sausage. Who else do we have?
Rod says mustard or ketchup stain of your choice. Yeah,
well you do know the Yankees Rod, because you can't

Speaker 6 (19:40):
Is it some kind of ad that they have on
their jersey? I don't even know what they have an
add on it? For an ad patch?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It's an embarrassing answer, Eddie. It turns out the New
York Yanks are offering fans the once in a lifetime
chance to add an insurance sponsor patch for fifteen dollars.
Fifteen dollars you can get a patch of an insurance company.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Technically, yes, not technically.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Me and Lauren we have production. Every day we have production.
He's me and Loraine and we go over the script
of the show and Eddie breaks character every night on
the show.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
You're supposed to be wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yes, the bit is you get it wrong, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
I don't like to be predictable.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Well, many people wondering, in fact that this comes from
ferg Dog. Has Eddie handed in his resignation? Yet after
that Michelin star worthy hockey monologue, do you really need
someone who only brings w NBA knowledge to the table.
It's a fair point. It's a fair point, Eddie Man.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I liked it. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Good job, Justin, says Eddie's still waiting on the Women's
College World Series scores during the updates? Will that be coming, Eddie?
Will we get a memo for management? You'll be doing
Women's College World Series scores again?
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Can you gonna keep you yessing, We'll have to wait
and see.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Okay, stay tuned. Yeah. Wow, Hey, you think the people
that pay fifteen ducks bucks to have the insurance company
logo on their jerseys? Do you think when they leave
like they get a little pin that says I'm the
biggest idiot in this section at Yankee Stadium. You think
that's included in the package.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
I will admit to being a jersey nerd. I have
a bunch of hockey jerseys La King's jerseys. I won't
buy a jersey if it has the insurance.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
On the worst and I'm not a soccer guy. Have
you seen the MLS jerseys where they have no shame?
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Like the European jerseys are like that.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We're not in Europe, Eddy, We're not. We're in America's Ica.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
You're a Canadian because you're ready for.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The Canadian Eddie, So go go well listen, I just
I just schooled you on hockey knowledge. Do you understand that?
Do you understand that?
Speaker 7 (21:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
In fact, I have a source, Eddie. It tells me
you may or may not have had a conversation with
a nationally known play by play announcer in the NFLFL
for your podcast. He may demand that podcast not get
played and may have to do my podcast as a
direct result of that malad monologue.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Don't be jealous, because the great Kenny Albert is going
to be on the Puck podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Kenny's a mal of militia guy friend of the show.
The only reason he does that is because of me.
That's it. Because of me.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
He didn't bring your name, but not once when we talked.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Deep down, he knows, he knows what's going on. Let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to any meenie
money Moe. Let's say hello to the mode Joe Horison, Hello, Moe,
Joe Risin, Welcome.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
They see the twentieth century.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Fuck.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
You know that's for Lorena. You know, you know I'd
have to say that roses are red or violets are bloo.
And I don't think there's too many women in the
world that are as beautiful as you.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
I love poetry.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
I had to make up for my oh my Debox
tree that I did last night.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Now people saying, well, wait a minute, you called last night.
You're a regular, but I wouldn't put Mojo Rising yet
in a regular category. You aspire to be a regular.
Is that correct, Mojo Rising? You plan? So that means
if you keep calling you can then you're not allowed
to call on newby Night because this night is for
new callers. But you're not quite there yet.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Yes, sir, and I asked the gentleman, the fine gentleman
who answers the phone, which was many many moons ago.
You know, I don't mind waiting for hours to be
on the Ben Malor show. It's like going to Disneyland
if you're gonna write Space Mountain or the Pirates of
the Caribbean. Hey, you got to stand in line wait
your turn to ride your famous ride.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
But heyah man, that should be in an open coupe.
But save that for an open We need to We're
trying to reduce some of the opens here.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Hey, but check this out though, the next time when
I call in you You're right. I'm considered a newbie
and that's why I called in. And like I said,
I have no life. I'm on the Mojor Rising. I'm
just like the real Jim Morrison, Like I live in
a plane of existence that's beyond this world, like he
did you know what I mean? You know, the stars
is stone immaculate kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So anyway, you live in a world where up is
down and down is up, and left is right and
et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Right, yes, sir, and I promise that when I call
in the next time, I want to take the oaths
for one. And the poetry that I did it was nothing,
and I and I stumbled because honestly, I was nervous
calling in, and I still am kind of nervous to
talk to the legendary Ben Mallor. But what I have
is trust me. I wrote it down like a dummy.
(24:30):
I had it practiced in my mind, in my mind,
and I said it so many times. Then when I
came on the air, I just had a brain fart.
And I can't get it.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
It happens. I do it at least four times a night.
I have a brain part in the Mala monologue. So
it's all good, all right, Well, Mojo, you gave a
little poetry to Lorraina. She had a big smile on
her face.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Hey, but I want to agree with you too about Edmonton.
But here's the thing, mister Ben. Yes, the Florida Panthers,
it is so hard to make it through a season
and make it back to a second Stam Cup. You know.
So I'm thinking that is as hard as it is,
like they're going to be fighting and scratching, because think
about what's the chances that they're actually going to make
it back to another Cup to get a chance.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Well, that's why the agree with the Bills.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
In that a. I agree with the Celtics. Chwo. I
love the Celtics even normal Warriors raiders fan back in
the eighties, you know, and I had to go for
the Celtics Larry Bird because the Wars were not so great.
But hey man, I love.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
You all right, all right, thank you?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
All right?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Well, hey you go, Mojo rising on a newby Night.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
No, I don't know what's going on with Poppy, but
he will be very interested in this news. The NBA
announced the official assignments for the twenty twenty four Finals.
That is, of course, the officials who will be officiating
the game, and the list does include Scott Foster.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Well, we'll smoke him out. He'll call up. It's a
newby Night. He can't call that Bye Pabyo. Scott Fosser.
And the great thing about Scott Foster game, Maddie is
no matter the outcome, if team the home team wins,
it's because Scott Foster. Officially, if the road team wins
because of Scott Foster, it's a self fulfilling prophecy with
Scott Foster. It's wild this the Ben Malors show. This
(26:12):
portion made possible by thorough but racing. You have a
new independent regulator HAISA that is implementing comprehensive reforms, and
the sport is combining hands on care with cutting edge
technology to help keep its athletes safe. To learn more,
is it safety runs first? Dot com? That safety runs
first dot Com? There we no fun, no fun. Fact
we got you got the game? Otherwise, Ben Mallard game,
(26:35):
We've endured too many of these. Has it too much
