the Devils versus the Kings, with Jarrett Stole welcome to
the nuthouse. In one sentence, why did you pick this game?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Well, obviously we won the cup that game. It was
my first Stanley Cup. We also won in fourteen. But yeah,
your first Stanley Cup win. It's it's cool that we'll
talk about the run and stuff in this game. It
was very interesting. But you know, it's first Dowley Cup.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
You gotta pick it first time, that first feeling nothing
like that. That's what I always says. It's hard to
pick your favorite, but that first feeling of anything is magical.
Is this the greatest game of all time? No? What is.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Game I was in? Or of all time?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
All time?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
That's that's hard.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Any sport, any sport, anything, Your game I was which
one the twenty eighty three? You think that's the greatest
game of all time? See, that's an integrity type guy,
because every time we'll go, you know, there's so many sports,
so many games, so many Yeah, it's tough. That's what

(03:16):
we're on a mission them this this podcast.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I just said that because I want to talk about
your catch so.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
And being nice the hockey humor. He's just busting ball.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Sorry, And I was there, man, I was like, yeah,
it was that was special man.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
So it was that was a that was a fun one.
That was a fun one.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Or actually our series against Chicago in fourteen. I could
have picked picked Game seven in Chicago in twenty fourteen,
but you picked Game six to your first Cup, Like
I said, but that series against Chicago, people say that
was one of the best series in UH in the NHL.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Ever, it's tough to say that but Kyler, sorry, I
was I didn't hear it.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Game seven, Game seven against Chicago Chicago Kings.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
That is this was fourteen, twenty fourteen. Yes, because the
Blackhawks were doing their little dynasty thing too.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
We were back and forth. Yeah, we we They won
in uh I think eleven maybe no eleven was wasn't
eleven was brew right?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
So we awys beat the Canucks team that we Tim
lost to the Brewers. Tim Thomas. Yeah, my guy's in
a bomb shelter right now.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
We wanted it worse. Yeah, serious love with his hopefullyes
with that helmet and that mask of his. We won
in twelve, Chicago thirteen. We won in fourteen, Chicago went fifteen.
I think it was bad. They won three and we
went two. But it was great because they were defending
champs and we were we you know, it was they
were our team that we had to beat and we

(04:41):
were up three to one in the series. They tied
it to go three three back in Chicago Game seven,
We're down to nothing with like five minutes into the game. Yeah,
I call it shit, but we had Jonathan Quick so
he never ever let in that third goal. We never
were down three nothing because that's down to nothing. You
know you can you know three? Yeah, but that was
epic double overtime game seven.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
That's awesome. I mean, who a lot of people there's
like clubs you're in the you got two championships, two
Stanley Cups. There's that's such an exclusive club.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Real Quick, because you brought him up and we'll talk
about him later, but just I've been waiting to talk
about Jonathan Quick for like since you decided to come
on the show because I'm from near you, mass Amherst.
What's it like having him in net? Like, is like
a superpower when he's like on is there is there?
Like do you guys just walk like skate with a
different confidence. It's just like a little X factor just

(05:33):
knowing that he can just take a game. When you're
actually playing with Quick.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
You don't want to think that or even say that, right,
but you know, you you just play the game. But
you also know that he's gonna make big saves at
key times, like I talked about to nothing and I
remember I remember the players a two on one. He
made a huge stave on a two on one when
when they were up to in the second period, and
that was kind of a game changer at that moment
in time to be like, hey, he's not he's not

(05:57):
letting an easy one and he's making those tough saves
and allowing us to come back in the games. But
he won the content might that year. His numbers that
year and twelve were ridiculous fourteen as well. But no, yeah,
just having him back there, knowing that he's he's going
to be a wall he's in a battle, he's going
to compete. He was one of our leaders too. And
a goalie's never you know, not really considered a leader
on the team or part of the leadership group, which
they should, and for him he was. And he oh man,

(06:21):
he competed his ass off.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
So the goalie, like, what position in the football locker
room would he be? Like, Like, as far as psychology is,
he's not the kicker. Is he where he's like in
his own world?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
And well, a goalie some games can win or lose
it on you know, a bad So.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Is he the kicker in a way or is he
the quarterback?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
He's a quarterback or the kicker.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Quarterback or the kicker. That's a huge contrast at it's
a huge difference on a huge contrast.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
So you're either the leading goal scorer or the starting goaltender.
But if you look at it, like, you know, one
player itself on the team can win and lose a game.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Like so he's like a pitcher in baseball.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah yeah, maybe yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Most expensive guy in the field is he mooks? Most
expensive guy in the ice? Are they expensive expensive? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Then we're like the you know, top line guys, top defenseman,
the goal Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
So let's segue into that's perfect to what you're doing
these days. You're working with the Kings and you're knowing
the value guys, what are you doing with Kings right now?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
So I do player development, which means I'm not a coach,
but there's five of us on the development staff and
guys that I've played with, so that's fun. But so
we're not scouts. But when we draft the kids, then
we kind of take over and we build a relationship
with them wherever they're playing. They're going back to the NCAA,
they're going to junior hockey in Canada, some of them
are in Europe. So we just build a relationship, work

(07:47):
on fundamentals, work on little details of the game that
you need to work on and I've learned so much
in this job, in this role because don't assume anything.
Don't think they know yeah, you know, like oh you
know this, he'll know this. No, they don't. You know,
Coaches don't teach them everything. Coaches in junior are going up.
They just they play them because they're the best players. Yeah,
they play them a ton of minutes and they're just like,

(08:10):
go score goals, go get points. But they don't know
the defensive side of the game. They don't know how
to protect a puck. They don't know how to get
take a you know, in the playoffs, wall plays along
the wall, that's all it is. And can you win
a battle along the wall? How do you get the
puck out? You know, twenty seconds left in the third period,
you're up by one, Like getting that puck out in
your zone. It's a huge play, especially in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Situational situational hockey.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, like puck management, game management, as you know, right,
So teaching these kids that and then how.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Are you doing they make it like if they go
back to school, are you guys having like zoom calls
each week? Or you go ice?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
We go, we go in the ice with them, we
go have calls. I'm going on I'm going tomorrow to
I'm going to Detroit because we have a player that
plays in Flint in junior good Water. Then I'm going
to win. Then I'm going to win. Maybe it got better.
Then I'm going to wins there the next day.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Then I'm going to Denver.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
We have three kids at DU So that's a big
week for me because I can see seven of our
prospects in four games. So yeah, just build relationship and
when they come here to the American Hockey League, our
AHL team is here and they practice out of the
same facility as the Kings in Elsegundo, so then they're
all under one roof, so I can work with them
even easier, do.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
You You guys talk about like educating these kids on
being a pro athlete too as well. It's not just
it's not just like the x's and o's on the
ice stuff. It's like, hey, uh, don't don't.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Bentley or first contract.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Don't go, don't gamble on the sport, don't buy a Bentley.
There's gonna be people in your life like you guys
have that kind of shit too.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
A little bit. Yeah, that's that I would say more
so as the agent and the parents, right, but know
how to become like being a pro, being a good,
good teammate off the ice, you know, treat the organization,
you know, like like family, like be respectful, you know,
represent the organization in the city and your fans really well,
that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
But you're still talking them up though, just being around
guys that have been in it.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's a good program, like nutrition, all that kind of stuff, right,
the strength and you know, fitness side of things, strength
and conditioning. So don't assume they know anything everything.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Don't assume they do.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
You see a big difference in players in your system
that are playing NCAA versus playing in the you know,
the junior.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Leagues, good question, Not a lot. Maybe the biggest difference
is in college they play like what thirty four or
thirty eight games something like that Canadian junior leagues where
it's the Quebec League, the OHL and the WHL. I
played in the WHL, you're playing sixty eight seventy two games.
NHL is eighty two, so it's close, a big difference.

(10:51):
But and I just kind of learned this. I thought
of it as in a different way there's a top
pick this year that Gavin mckennay. He went to Penn State.
And you know, all that money now with goes to
the hockey players too, not as much as football obviously,
but they still get something. He went to Penn State,
and I'm like, why would he do that? But then again,
he plays less games, more time in the gym, more

(11:12):
time to develop his body, versus playing a lot more
games less time in the gym. What's better?

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Where else would he play at Penn State?

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Or he played last year in the WHL with Medicine
Hat Tigers.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Okay, so he could either play in the juniors or
he could go to college because there's a state.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
It's a really new program and they're not like a
Division one powerhouse or a couple of years old.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
They got a whole new set up there, which is
amazing I heard. And so he played in the Western
Hockey League, which I played Western Canada. Canadian Junior League
is awesome. So now the new rule, they switched the
rule where you can now leave and you can go
to US colleges. So some players are leaving. It's a
big deal. So he left and he got some money,
I'm sure, but that's the difference, right. I'm like, hey, well,

(11:53):
what's more important for a player at.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
That age, ice or weight room?

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Weight room? Getting time on ice as well?

Speaker 2 (12:01):
I don't know it.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
It's an interesting way to look at it.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well, there's gonna be probably a social study in the
next five, six years, ten years for scouts organizations, just
like there's they're gonna be doing that in football with
with how to scout the new player, with the new options,
guys that are making five million bucks in college. How
to deal with them is going to be different than

(12:23):
when you're dealing with Tom Brady, who you know, six rounds,
you know what I mean? Just in general, Like, there's
got to be a social study. And I guarantee all
the organizations at the top of all the leagues they're
gonna be doing a social study on this, like this
whole thing. But it's gonna take time.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
It will everybody that comes to organization there they get drafted.
You get drafted at seventeen eighteen. So you know, you
always say when you looking at young players, always got bigger, bigger, stronger, faster.
He's got to get bigger, stronger and faster. Well, maybe
this kid who went to Penn State. He's going to
be pretty strong when he comes out and playing the NHL.
Whoever drafts him, he'll he'll be one of the top
picks this year.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Do you guys talk about load at all?

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Load management?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, load management in hockey, not.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Really, But Anaheim did it last year with this kid,
Leo Carlson. They did load of management with him, more
practice time, less games than what he probably should have
could have played. Now he's like this year, he's like
third or fourth in the league in scoring. He's an
awesome player. He's gonna be really good. He's gonna he's
gonna be one of their main, you know, franchise players

(13:24):
for the Anaheim Ducks. So maybe it worked, I don't know.
But more practice time, more time in the gym.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
How's how's our Kings doing right now in LA.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
We're okay. We're still trying to find our way a
couple games above five hundred. But a lot of teams
are in the league right now. It's it's a weird.
A lot of teams you think would be, you know,
a lot better in art and there's some teams that
are it's the opposite. But no, we're doing okay. Just
we could be better.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
How different is the beginning of the season to like
the middle part of the season and the end of
the season.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Like the first maybe twenty games is kind of kind
of feeling it out, feeling everything out, seeing who's and
teams management are doing that too. There may be you know,
are they going to be buyers or sellers at the
trade deadline while you're gonna find out maybe the first
twenty games what kind of team they have, who's off
to a good start, who's not.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
And then the.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Middle part is just trying to you're you're already looking
at the schedule a little bit, how many games are remaining,
Where are you in the wildcard spot or first you're
leading your division? In those last twenty twenty probably ish,
you know, it tightens up. There's less scoring chances, there's
less penalties. It's just harder, heavier hockey. Teams are trying
to gear up for the playoffs. That are going to
be in the playoffs, and teams are trying to trying

(14:31):
to get in. But around the trade deadline, there's about
a month left in the season with the trade deadline,
and then you so teams will you know, but that's
a lot of teams will get a big player, big
free agent at the time that teams are trying to
sell off, and it works. Sometimes it doesn't right you
get to you get to got coming into your team.
It just it kind of screws up your whole kind
of chemistry and dynamic of your team.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
You know that, like help you might not work, might not.
I had it, We had it where it kind of worked.
When the Key to League came over and then brad
or Sean going to the Panthers mid season, Joker gets
another another coupy.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, how's that gonna work? We were close again and
he was close to coming here.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
That would have been cool.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
I have the Marcy Jays right, right choice, right choice.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Right choice. How do you did you you have? Did
you try to recruit him? Are you part of the
recruiting process?

Speaker 1 (15:17):
No, that would be more like the GM assistant jam
stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
But I gotta send Stoley out there to get him,
bring him to catch don't get out of here. A
big z get in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
May yesterday, Hall of Famer.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Who went to the He got in. Yeah, man, fucking
big z.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Look up. His speech was good, really good.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I gotta look it up. Last night they did it.
Gary Bettman called Joe Thorton Dumbo. His nickname is Jumbo Jumbo.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Tele prompt and somebody I love.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
He does have big ears, he does big He's a
worries he over him. He's in Florida. I think it
was a San Jose Sharks. Yes, the guy that when
they won the President's Cup and then they fucking lost
in the first round. Yeah, this is kind of a
Sharks guy. I'm kind of a Sharks guy. So my
my fandom started in ninety four when the team came

(16:13):
to San Jose. But we're playing in the cow Palace.
We missed the first two periods, but being football people,
we thought we were going to catch a second half. Yeah,
so one period and kind of hurt me.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
So I should have picked the game in twenty fourteen
and we Yeah, I don't know if you even know this,
I hope you do. They were up three to nothing
against us and two Yeah fourteen.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
That's I remember, Like the Sharks have done that like
five times, haven't they were They've they've they've really underperformed
when they've had good teams, good teams.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
They had a good stretch there like well third and
won the Heart Trophy MVP like in two thousand and six.
So then yeah, fourteen, they were up three nothing on
us and then we came back and won four straight.
But yeah, game seven Insanto backdoor sweet?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, sweet.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Three teams have done it, yeah, and you're one of them.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, and hockey only three teams have done it. What
are the other two?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Twenty ten flyers as the b.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Yeah, it was against the and then it was uh
back in the day, did the Penguins they did when recently?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
No, I think a team to win this downy Cup?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Did it back like in the wasn't that covers finance?

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Win the company of these four straight?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
That would that would be like some Buffalo bill shit. Yeah,
as a Buffalo Bill is going to Super Bowl four
years in a row. That winning crazy? I uh the
Dallas Did you watch that at all? Which documentary? Yeah,
a little bit here and there.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
I didn't realize at the time. I grew up in
Canada too, so you know we were more CFL than NFL.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, who's your CFL team going.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
To the Great Cup? On on Sunday, Saskatchewan Roughrider, what
do you think about the new rules?

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Do you see that they're like changing a lot of
the rules. It's going to be more like American football
or is that a fourth down? They're changing the what
they called Alouettes. It's making it harder. They're bringing and
they're bringing. They're making rouges harder. In the field, goal
posts aren't gonna be in the middle anymore, moving the
field goal posts back in.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
The back, knocked out, run into those things. The game
the other day, like my parents were in town. They
just left, but we're from Saskatchewan and they were first
in the league all season and they were losing all game.
That the playoff game to go to the Great Cup,
and they came back and won. But started the game,
I was like, Mom wants the score. She goes just
one nothing because there's like a safety touchback real thing,

(18:31):
it's a one you can get a single point. So
she's like, it's one nother And I looked at her.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Like, so you're you're the CFO, your mom, your mom
follows it.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
In Saskatchewan, we're only a million people the whole province. Yeah,
so yeah, very they get great support and oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I almost became a BC line.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Seriously.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, out of college, she's gonna play quarterback for him.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oh way, so how does that work?

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Like they bought my negotiation right, So when I came
out of college hoping and you cross your finger, is
that you'll that I was going to sign and then
they said you can go try playing the NFL and
I was like all right, and we'll have it here.
So they basically just like that money's gone. The money's going. Yeah,
And it was like a super like incentive based contract. Okay, yeah,

(19:16):
Like you start, you get like one hundred grand, play
certain amount of games. Yeah, it's like two sixty. Was
like my max was like three three hundred. At the time.
I was like, man, I can hello rich Canada.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
My parents are all pumped because the Great Cup is
in Winnipeg and it's not that far from Saskatchewans. They're
going they're playing against Montreal, so like, oh, I mean,
you know, Montreal is far and Winnipeg's not, so Saskatchewan
should have some.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Good good show up.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's good show up, Yeah, good show up.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
So who's your NFL team?

Speaker 1 (19:46):
To be honest, I right now, I don't really maybe
the Rams because Matthew he's a great guy, we know
him personally. But it was you guys when you guys
were playing and winning, because you know, I knew you guys,
but never really had a team because I growing up
in Canada. Yeah, to be honest, I never really followed
it that much. And then you know, meeting Aaron and
now with Aaron, it's just like it's you know, it's
always on. I'm around it, and I love it. It's

(20:09):
it's great. I was explained to my parents the ratings
you guys get and how big the NFL is in
the US, and they don't really have a concept of
that or idea of that. And I broke it down
this way. Game seven again, Dodgers J's. I think the
ratings were like fifty million, I think ish. And then
like you guys get in the Super Bowl last Super Bowl,
which wasn't a very good game. Obviously, Chief's egos.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Got like one hundred and two hundred or two d
something like.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
That, one hundred and thirty or one hundred and forty.
But that's the difference. It's like Game seven in the
World Series versus And don't get me wrong, it was
Baseball is awesome, and yeah, that series was great, but
that was.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
An insane series too. My god, fifty one versus one
hundred and eleven. Yeah, fifty one to one hundred and eleven.
Like you just Rob Low with the NFL shield hat
and all the games. Do you see that, Rob Low?
Where's the NFL shield hat? It's like the red operating
hat that they give to people. He wears. It's just
a regular It's not like of a team, it's just

(21:06):
of the NFL. I'll show you. So you're married to
Aaron Andrews. Can she be biased about teams or she?

Speaker 1 (21:13):
She like not on air, but oh yeah, there is.
She grew up a green Bay Packer fan. Her dad,
you know, they watched the Packer games and she was
little and that's basically why she got into sports because
he was such a Boston Celtics and Green Bay Packers.
So yeah, deep down she's a Packer fan.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah. So you guys have a two year old? Now,
how's that going? Two year old?

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Actually, the months we're doing the twenty four to six,
he's twenty seven and a half months.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Please you When do you switch in months?

Speaker 1 (21:42):
I don't do that.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I hate that.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
We had a little thing before.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
I was like, bro, how many how old your kids?
He's in a bit tune a bit bit perfect.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I love that he goes.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
You know, he's not twenty seven and a half months
or whatever the heck he is.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, when is the threshold the top months? I hate
when people eighteen months one and a half a dog?

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
God, Now you're married, Aaron. You guys got a kid.
And uh, what people don't know is I met you
at the Yellowstone Club. What is that in twenty fifteen
maybe somewhere around probably, And uh, we would go train
out there and slowly they used to cut out a

(22:25):
field for us, and they would line it up a
little sixty yard field at like ninety two hundred altitude
so you could feel it. Oh yeah, and slowly would
be out there and Tom would run us through a
set of drills and he'd make slowly try to guard
us and stuff.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
It was you and Danny, right, Dan, and he would come.
I don't know if Gronk came Gronk maybe maybe once,
but it was it was cool to not guard these
guys or defend them, but just visually, yeah, right, and
just be out there, and you know, I could this
guy's coming at me, Danny's coming at me, and wholehard.
I remember, I remember to this day how hard you
guys cut in your routes that you run. And you know,

(23:02):
I've heard Tom say it that you're one of the
best route runners that he's ever thrown too.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
And I saw it.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
I saw like the juke play you guys talk about it,
and I was just out there, just visually so hopefully
he could might fuck him up a little bit. Never did,
but I was impressed with you guys because you had
your I don't know if you had your pads on.
He did. But running row my path, yeah, over and
over and over again in that altitude and like great training.
But Tom would not let you guys take a break. Remember,
he's again, let's run it again. It's run again. He's

(23:29):
not running the routes. He's dropping back three steps, three steps,
and these guys are dying out there. And I felt bad,
But I mean to.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Put in perspective. When we first get there, like going upstairs,
you feel it. And then we would we go to sleep,
we wake up in the morning at the crack of dawn,
started getting worked on. We gotta go run after like
five routes, you're swamped. But still, like Tom would always
like stole An Alex to just be in parts of
the field and we would run our plays eat with

(23:59):
un predictable defenders. We'd wut We'd run like one route
that could change into like ten different routes. And it
was good practice for us because sometimes it's harder to
fool a dumb football player, meaning a guy can luck
into something if he doesn't know the concept of the game.
So you were getting we were we would use anything

(24:20):
like that.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
And I'm the dumb football player. It doesn't get it,
but hopefully it helped you. It did, Danny to like
just figure it out right, it did.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
How impressive watching Tom throw though.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Who was harder to defend against? Stolar and Jewels?

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Jules? Sorry, Danny, but I'm here at Jules house.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's just that's just Canadians.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Maybe if you have a podcast, I'll say you, Danny.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's that's just Canadian politeness right there. How come you
guys are so goddamn polite. Say it's just sorry about everything.
You guys are nice people. We'll be right back after
this quick break. Let's jump back into time and go
back to June eleventh, twenty twelve, where this game took place,

(25:09):
and let's go over some of the pop culture. Stoley,
did you ever see the number one movie in the
country at the time or in the world. No, Madagascar III, No,
Europe's most wanted. Well, you got a kid right now.
That's twenty seven months, so I'm sure you'll be diving
into these Disney movies here soon. Oh we are.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
He knows how to say Disney pretty good.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
That's streamworks. You gotta get your streamworks. Well. Cartoon tad, Yeah,
fucking cartoon cartoon number one song. Somebody I used to know,
go tell you remember this. Tom used to fucking love
this song. Really in the locker room, Him and Hoyer,
I remember specifically, would play this song over and over
and mind you, like, no one on the other team,

(25:54):
no one else in the team locker roomanked it.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I was hoping that would be one of those would
up there be in this run. I remember we were
like a vichy, a Swedish house like that. Yeah, oh yeah,
it was amazing. Yeah. And then we you know, go
see their DJ sets wherever they were. But yeah, that
was I remember Vichi was he was a ship.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Now take us into the the pregame of of a
hockey locker room. Are you guys just straight disco? Because
you got the Eastern Europeans, you got the Canadians, Are
you guys just.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Like that's a big job, a big job.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Who's who's got the usb? Uh?

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Jeff Carter had it for a bit. Drew Doughty definitely not.
We'd be all over the place, so it wouldn't it
wouldn't be that, not so much country. I like country,
but you know, it wouldn't be like that before, but
it would be DJ stuff. It would be you know,
rock and roll would be freaking throw a couple of nickelbacks.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
In there, you know, but they'd go back so much
in the hockey room.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
And rock Star. You know, it would be all over
the place, but not much country. But that was a
big job.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Whoever had that that? We only had white Boy Wednesdays
where there'd be like, oh yeah, that kind of stuff
every once in a while. Everything else was just straight
yeah in your face. Ted, Magic, Mike, twenty one, Jump Street,
and the Hunger Games were all in the box office.
Do you ever see you like any of these?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Ted for sure didn't.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Wasn't remember the tom he had a little Uh was that? Ted?
Two or Ted one. I think it was Ted one one.
I don't know. It's funny the Breaking Bad Breaking Bad
is great love that. Are they making a new prequel
or something?

Speaker 4 (27:33):
No, his the creator, Vince Gillian, has a new show
on Apple. It's pretty good. It's called Pluribus Used.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Check it out.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Anytime I see a house that's attented for termites them.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Genius smart, NBA Champion where the heat Lebron was the MVP,
the Heart Memorial.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Oh wow, I didn't know this.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
So this Maulkin like tore his knee up at the
beginning of last year, the year Adrian Peterson he had
the same surgery that Adrian Pearson had came back. They
both came back really quick and had MVP seasons.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, I'm a Penguins fan, so yeah, there were his
numbers that year, like pretty pretty good, the Stanley Cup champions,
LA Kings and around this time in sports, Rookie of
the Years included Julio Jones, Cam Newton, JJ Watt, Von Miller.

(28:29):
Those were all rookies that were joining the NFL. That's
a fucking that's a rookie class. JJ Watt was a monster.
Von Miller we had to change up snap counts. Yeah,
and Julio Jones had he was cam this was that.
That's a that's a legendary rookie class and legendary owner.
Al Davis passes away at eighty two Raiders.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Fan, not really, but I know who all Davis was
for sure.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, Like being from Canada, what is what do you
think of the Raiders? Like just do you remember Al
Davison like his persona a little.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Bit just because I you know, I yeah, I was,
I looked into stuff like that. But I knew he
was an interesting cat that did things his way a
certain way. And that's that's pretty much all I knew.
But I didn't know he passed away at that year.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, you know that. He's the only person to have
been a head coach in the National Football League, a
GM in the National Football League, the commissioner of the
National Football League, and an owner in the National League.
He's like, I didn't even know fathers wow of the
NFL shoed the league.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Like as he's that but once a commissioner and then
he sues the league.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, that's why it's even Actually, yeah, hey, Brady's halfway there.
Brady's halfway there. What was life like for Stolely in
twenty twelve.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
It was fun, It was fun. We had a good team.
We had a good group of guys down a group
of guys. I'm forty two, so.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
In twenty twelve, were you what was I young? Stolely
twenty twenty nine, so you're in the heat.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Actually I would know. I just turned twenty nine when
we won. But I end of June, I turned thirty,
so I had to cup my thirtieth birthday.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Cup on your thirty two. I saw that video when
we took it back home. Had the parade, Oh.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
That was in the summer. Yeah, yeah, but we had it.
I had it here, which is a good thing about well,
good thing and about like you win the cut. You're
it's in June, right, so everybody not many guys live
in where they play. They have summer homes or wherever
they're from. So a lot of guys leave pretty quick
after the parties, after parade and stuff. Guys are gone.
There's only two or three of us that were here.
And I lived here. So I told the cup guys that, hey,

(30:43):
whenever there's a night it's quiet because it goes all
over the city and they take it everywhere, so when
it's quiet, let me know and bring it over. So
it was. It was available on June twenty fourth, my
thirtieth birthday, So I threw a party in Manhattan Beach
and then at my house and that was awesome.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Phill hooked it up.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
That was cool.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Shout a texta Phil. Yeah, yeah, we're now friends. He
was on our show, Phil is great. He brought the cup.
He brought the cup?

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Did he really?

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Sir Stanley was here. We had Ray Bork on. He
did the Avalanche championship. Yeah, with the cup.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
That's what a story.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
That is what a gym.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
They were down three to two in that series two
come back.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
So who are your favorite teams as a kid?

Speaker 1 (31:23):
As a kid, Philadelphia Flyers because growing up our minor
hockey like colors were white, orange, and black. And my
dad grew up with Brian Propp. He was a really
good player, played for Philly, played for Minnesota north Stars,
never won a cup, but yeah, we kind of followed
him around. So it was Philly and then it was
Minnesota north Stars when he went there. That was about it.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
So this Kings team had that Flyers kind of connective tissue.
With Jeff Carter and Mike Richards.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, it was a big trade that happened, and uh,
you know, not a risky trade, but we gave up
a lot and we got a lot back. But like
I said, sometimes that doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, but it did.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Yeah, let's jump into this game. Let's let's someone here
what Stolely has. So this Devil squad went forty eight
twenty eight and six. They were led by Peter de
boor GM lou La Moreau legend. They finished fourth in
the Atlantic, made their first in a couple appearance since
the two thousand and two two and three season.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
They put up two hundred and sixteen goals, led up
two O five.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
This is a good shoutout team as well with franchise
twelve shoutout Rins wins Mark Timberder.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Obviously there some other names.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
That Ilo Covidchuk, Patrick Eliosh, Zach Preezey Adam Henrik.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, yeah, I remember Peter Kora.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
When you're looking at that, what are you thinking about?

Speaker 1 (32:40):
I'm just thinking about all the players and you play
against them, you think about plays like I covid Chuk.
I'm just thinking right now because he pounded one timers
all the time in the power play, and I penalty killed,
so I was always out on his side blocking his shot.
That's what I remember, and the pain that it went through.
But Preeze, yeah, Eliosh taking face offs against him and
then bro Dure, Yeah, I know a couple of big

(33:02):
saves that he had against me in the finals. That's
what I remember when I see his name.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
What made him so good Bord, because he's he's he
was a monster.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Anticipation, his reads, he was just he was very athletic,
so he never gave up on plays. And if you
think you maybe got it, you don't. You know, you
got to make sure you bear down, put it in
the back, then put it through the net. Because he's
a pretty good chance that his second third efforts or
what made him so great, he make he makes crazy
acrobatic saves because of his compete and his work ethic.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
And it's probably also like they have a good vision
of the game of like if there's something over here,
they probably see that guy. They know that the guys
there and they know.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Or if you know, you know, I'm sure, yeah, his
his read and react right and vision. But if you
know a guy's a lefty over there and the puck's
over here, Like you got to read and know that
he's a one timer. So if that's the case, if
he's not a one timer, then maybe have a little
bit more time. But if he is, when he should
one time, if it's a good pass and those goalis
like that and know that I can. I used to

(34:05):
play the point in the power play, so I was
the one timer guy.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
How do you like doing that as an offensive player?

Speaker 1 (34:10):
I love it. Yeah, because if you're the if you
know you're one of the threats, or you're one of
the one of the first options for a second option
or whatever. Yeah, just your job is to pound it
and you hope it's a good pass and you just
one timers are hard, and we tee again it's development
coaches and fundamentals. We teach shooting and we teach one timers,
and we tell guys, if it's a good passing, you're

(34:31):
on your one timer side, shoot it. Goalies are so
good now, like they if you stop it stick handle
goalies there. You see how big the goalies are. You
watch hockey games. These goalies are six or five now
and their equipment is huge. You don't see much net
so if you're on the one timer side, shoot it.
A lot of the good players now, like Koutrov and
Tampa Matthews Dry title even five on five, not just

(34:54):
power play, but five on five they try to get
to their one timer side and then they know it's
a better opportunity.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
To score because of the deflections and maas.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
But the goalie and you don't have to hit a
perfect shot. Yeah, right this far inside the post. Whatever
the goalie comes across, it goes through them because he
can't get set. So all those things.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
How many one timers do you? You probably practice that
all day. You just have a coach just sitting there.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
You're just yeah, a lot of if you know you're
that's your you know, on the power play. Yeah, I
took one timers a lot after practice. You just you know,
you got to know where they you know, know where
that puck is when it's coming to you. And if
it's you know a little bit off my front foot,
I know that I could get it up easier. And
if your goal is coming across, you got to probably
get it up a little bit, you know, just to score.

(35:38):
But a lot of times too just hitting the net.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
See these guys see that's all like golf. Shit, that's
why you guys are all good at golf, you know,
getting it through and fucking timing it up. Is that
why you guys are good at golf?

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Caned eye hips and baseball players are good a golf too, right,
because they're maybe something like that.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Hitting things hips, hitting things transfer.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Hit the ball far. Every hockey player probably can. But
it's you know how it is.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
But you guys had you guys got you know, how
to square ship up. It's the hands stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah. True.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Now do you have any beef with any of these guys? No,
everyone likes talk good beef. Let's see here, not really,
you know, this isn't that much of a dirtbag team.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
No, they weren't really annoying. They were just defensive, like
you see there goals against their eighth. They were just yeah,
they would win games the kind of like us. Actually
they win games two to one, three two. They brought
to her. We had quick We had probably some more
oh no thinking high end guys like you know, we
had Carter Richard's co gauitar. They got Covid Chuck Elios Prez.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
So yeah, let's check it out. Let's let's see that Kings.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Where are we gonna go? Here we go?

Speaker 5 (36:50):
Ok?

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Guy?

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Oh yeah, three coaches that year.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
So the King's team went forty twenty seven and fifteen,
started a bit slow thirteen twelve and four, and in
December fourth they decided to make a coaching change. They
let Terry Murray go and brought in Darryl Sutter.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
They finished eighth in the Western Conference. They offense struggled,
getting shut out ten times, most of any team that year,
but defensively they were solid and goalkeeper Jonathan Quick was unreal.
They got hot at the right time.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
And we'll get into that in the lead up.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
Some big names you mentioned Innsi Coperti was having his
his final season this year, incredible career, Dustin Brown, captain,
Drew Dotty, Jared Stole, Jonathan.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Quick, the Yeah, we were just got into the playoffs.
You see that eighth, So we that's why the coaching
change happened. I remember we were kind of cool story.
We were flying to Boston and Terry Murray was our coach.
We were flying to Boston and we get the hotel,
we check in, we all go all over.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
You know.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Some guys went to a movie. I remember we went
to we went to a bar on what's the main.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Street there, the nice street Newbury you Daisy McKinnon's yeah, probably,
so shout out, eh, it's not there anymore. R P
RP your buddy the owner or something.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
And we got there. We were having lunch in a
couple of beers and then we all get a text.
Everybody back to the hotel team meeting, you know, you
know those guys Cascade room B or some shit. Yeah,
we all had to go.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
And then so when you get that text, we kind
of maybe we we kind.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Of thought maybe is this it? But we just flew
all the way across country with them, with them are
they going to do that? So yeah, we go to
this meeting room and our GM comes in there and
just yeah, rips us, you know, yeah, it's our fault, right,
we're the way we played, we didn't play good and
our coach lost his job. So that that sucked for sure.
We felt we felt bad, we felt responsible, and so yeah,

(38:42):
they they fired Terry Murray and John Stevens took over
that that road trip because we were on a road
road trip, just starting it right for a couple of
weeks and so John took over. Dean Lombardi was our GM.
He had a relationship with Daryl Sutter in San Jose
and so he called Darryl on the farm and uh,
liking Alberta. Darrel was on the farm, probably on the tractor,

(39:03):
and uh, give me a couple of days and you
got back. He said, yeah, but I need two weeks.
You needed two weeks on the farm to finish some
stuff up. And wo and then he joined the team.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
And yeah, how was that? How? How how is that going?

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Now we knew what type of coach there was.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
So he was.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
He was a hard ass.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
He was.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
That was his reputation. There was no bullshit, no ifens
or butts. It's black and white with him. And yeah,
when he came in, it just you know, it changed.
I don't know everyone. You work harder, you work, You
want to impress the coach, You want to get ice time.
And he was a guy that if you didn't play,
you you or you didn't you weren't playing well you
didn't play. Yeah, and there's one funny story with him,
but he all those guys on the list, Copatar, Williams, Brown,

(39:43):
Carter like they were having a tough game when when
one game and for me, I wasn't a top line guy,
so I was just like, you know, like penalty killer checker.
And so they were having a terrible game on the bench.
He put them all to the edge of the bench.
He could get over there. Millionaires roll, get over there,
called him. You know, he's set up a little on
the side called Millionaires roll. And so the three or
four of them got benched for the rest of the game.

(40:04):
So I was happy.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
I played a lot. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
So, yeah, there's no pisson around with him.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
No. Man, that's crazy to have three different coaches.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
But that was my favorite coach now because you know,
not just because we won, but he put everybody in
roles that he felt would give the team the best
chance to win. And you know what it's like to
have roles and everybody accept them. Yeah, some people won't
and then that's a problem, but we all did.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
So it's fairly unusual, Jules and I were talking earlier.
It's fairly unusual for other sports to move on from
a coach mid season and then have success that season.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
However, in hockey, it's not that unusual. It happened here.
It happened with the Penguins twice. Like what is it
about hockey.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
That you know a coaching change can lead to you know,
successful where you can win a championship in the same year.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Yeah, just a different voice, a different mindset, attitude. Everybody
feels a little bit differently, Like I said, trying to
impress and like he came in day one, he was
like he met with all of us. He goes, hey,
I want this is your role. I want you to
play it. I want you to the matchup, you know.
And that was the playoffs too. He was so prepared
matchups because you got to beat him this series, not

(41:08):
just one game. You might have to beat him seven
games in a row. You got to beat him. You
got to beat him like that was it. That was
what That was our job and everybody tried to do
it and do it well and very good motivator. You
did not want to let him down. It was he
was a good coach.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Who who is the team jokester on this team?

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Uh well, Douey Drew Dowd. He's always joking around. He's
not serious that often, but that's what makes him so great.
Matt Green, awesome guy. I get traded with him. From
Edmonton to LA So we still work together in player development.
So dry sense of humor just hilarious.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
What else we got in here, Mitch, who's a team asshole?

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Nobody?

Speaker 2 (41:48):
No assholes? Like there's that we won, but you got
to have an asshole that keeps everyone accountable?

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Okay, like different way to put it.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Uh, who's the serious guy? Any serious?

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Probably like you know, Kobe was pretty serious carts, Jeff
Carter was pretty serious guy. Brownie Brownie was a quiet leader,
our captain. He was just he did his job on
the ice and wasn't a raw rock guy in the
locker room. We had plenty of those, but that's probably
why he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
But who was the raw rock guy?

Speaker 1 (42:22):
It was probably like Greener, I didn't, I didn't, I
wasn't quiet, Rad Richardson and Drew Dowdy and yeah that's
a great I'm just thinking of all the names we
had now. Colin Fraser he was a great you know,
fourth line guy, but raw rock guy kept everyone on

(42:44):
their toes.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah you said something right there when you got traded
to l A from Edmonton. What was that like when
you're a Canadian kid, you're playing Edmonton and then you
get traded to La, La Land. You're going to the Kings.
You're going to La You're going to the entertainment capital

(43:07):
of the world.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
It was bittersweet for me because I, yeah, I was
the closest place I could have played from where I
grew up was Edmonton. So I had extra season tickets.
I had buddies come all the time. My family came
a lot, so I had fun. And we we had
the year before or two years before, we'd just almost
won the Stanley Cup. We lost Game seven to Carolina,
so we had a good team, and I, yeah, I

(43:29):
had I had a tough year that year to have
a very good year and I didn't expect it, actually,
but I lived here in the summers, I trained here,
and so I was already here. And then I got
the phone call and Kevin Lowe is the GM in Edmonton.
He's like, where are you right now? And I said
him in La. He goes, okay, well you could you
can stay there. I'm like, what do you mean? I
just just traded you and another one of your teammates

(43:51):
to to LA And he couldn't tell me who because
he didn't he couldn't get a hold of Greener. Greener
was flying and you couldn't get a hold of him yet,
and then I found out it was it was me
and green are coming this way. So a little bittersweet,
but I know you get traded somewhere and you know
that team wants you and they, yeah, basically they want you,
so man.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Yeah, bringing Jeff Carter in at the trade deadline that
was probably a big.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Huge because we struggled to score goals for one ninety four.
We were always like a team that struggled to score,
but we were really good defensively, always like kind of
tops in the league. So that's why I said we
win games two, one, three two, So we needed him.
He was a goal scorer and perfect addition. He added
so much offensively to our team that helped us win.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
How great is hands when you see it in action
day to day?

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Good hands, really good hands, but better shot accuracy. Got
it off quick quick. They said he wouldn't get it
stick candle. That's something we teach and player to development,
like the game is too fast. Now, yeah, you can't
get it, dust it, dust it off and then put
shoot it. It's very rarely scored. He was so good
at boom on and off his stick accurate hard.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Yeah, wow, Now what's up with this pancakes that Dustin
Pennery used to make? Well, he gets hurt tearing his
oblique eating a pancakes? The story behind him.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
He loved pancakes and he loved junk food in general.
He'd be on the plane and he'd have those little
sweetish fish and the uh, what's someone's with the sugar
on him? And the patch kids. He would have him
all over his chest and there's a desire.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
He got hurt eating a pancake. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
I don't exactly know the story, so, yeah, maybe take
this out because what he said, he said, I woke
up fine, sat down to eat, and locked right up.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
It never happened to me before. I couldn't stand up.
I was probably the third stage of evolution. My wife
helped me get dressed, and I drove to the rink here.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
And that's it. What was the Lockow's reaction to hearing that?

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Yeah, I was kind of a He didn't say about
anything about the pancake eatcakes and.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Yeah, I guess it's but delicious pancakes. Quote.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Yeah he was a guy that Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
He I'm sure if he were to talk to Tom
and Alex. The reason why he got tight back was
because of the lack of lack of hydration because of
all the sugar intake he was.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
He slipped and fell making a protein shake or something.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Let's jump into this game.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
So, yeah, we beat Vancouver in the first round, the
one seed. They were one. They'd won the President's Trophy.
He's the best regular season team. So then we played
Saint Louis. So we beat the one seed, we beat
the two seed.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
We beat the three seed, and then we were the
last seed and.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
We were the last seed. So and this was one
thing too, like we we just got into the playoffs.
So like as you know too, if you're peaking at
the right time and seven, yeah, and there are all
of our games leading up to the playoffs were the playoffs,
and Vancouver they'd won the president Trophy, so they some guys,
you're kind of not.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
You're not playing your whole line up rest first rust.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Yes, then game one of the playoffs, like, so we
we were up three to nothing against them in the series,
and you know, they made it three to one and
then we won four games to one. In the next round.
We swept St. Saint Louis, which was a hard series.
It wasn't a sweep, but we swept them. Then the
third round we beat Phoenix, but Phoenix Chicago. Phoenix knocked

(47:26):
off Chicago. That was huge. We saw that happen. We're like, oh, okay.
And then then Phoenix knocks off Nashville. So we got
Phoenix in the conference final and they were a good team.
They were third seed, but we would rather play them
than the Blackhawks.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Yeah, right, that was when Mike Smith was kind of
going crazy, right Mike Smith.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
And uh yeah, they had a good team, Shane down.
So we were up. We we almost had the record
for the in the playoffs, so we were we were
record for what well, So we four game, four games
to one four us, we're eight and eight and one
there and then we're twelve and two. Then we go
up three to nothing in against Jersey, so we're fifteen

(48:05):
and two as our record, and we needed to win
one more game and we lost two in a row,
so then we finished sixteen and four, so we would
have had the records. So fifteen and two with a
chance to win one way, that's that's that's how good
we were. We got three nothing, three nothing, three nothing
the first three rounds, So like, you know, adversity, Yes,
there's a lot of diversity, but a lot less adversity

(48:26):
when you're three to nothing in the series.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Great defense wins championships. Yeah, is it tough to lose
that potential to sweep game in home at home? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (48:35):
That game four, Like yeah, yeah, we got a chance
to sweep Jersey at home to win the Cup. And
I remember, like, you know, everyone has their pregame nap
in the hotel and like you do, and we didn't.
Me and my roommate Brad Richardson, we didn't sleep a second.
We were just we were actually listening to Vichi in
the real hotel room because we stayed during the playoffs.
We stayed across the street at the at the Ritz

(48:57):
for a playoffs. Our coach darry All like to what
he wanted us downtown the night before playoff games, so
we slept there. We had our pregame skate at Staples
Center at the time, so yeah, we all stayed there
and then walked across and yeah, we didn't sleep. We
were so excited. We're like talking about what we're gonna
do with it. Where we're gonna party where we're gonna
go tonight after we win, where we're gonna you know,
at home, taking the cup home. And we shouldn't have

(49:20):
been talking about this stuff, but how do you not?

Speaker 2 (49:22):
And yeah, we it was close.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
We tied it up in the third it was one one,
I think, and they won right there? Yeah, right, yeah,
three one they one?

Speaker 4 (49:31):
Yeah, kai guy, and then you lose again. You go
to New New Jersey and drop another one. So now
it's three to two going into this game.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
What's the that's.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
Starting to get like a little bit, right, because then
if you dropped game six anything and happy game seven.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Yeah, you go back to Jersey all across country for
game seven. Yeah, so this weird heat was on us
here in game six now to try to close this
out at home, right, you know how it is you
don't want to go into.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
I don't though, because we don't we don't play series. True.
It's it's it's like.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
You're going to game seven every time.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
And it's the quarters break. The quarter is like a game.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
True.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
How is the energy different when the cup is in
the building for a game you just.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Yeah, definitely, like you know, the crowd, you can feel
the buzz. For us, it's more nervous a little bit.
If you're not nervous, you're probably lying. But yeah, it's
just that excitement you want. You want to play well
and not be the reason you you lose, but be
the reason why you win and make a big play.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
You know.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
So, did you guys throw the vichy on after the
super duper power play that you guys scored three goals on?

Speaker 1 (50:36):
I tell you what we probably listen.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
I've never even so we watched it? What is it?
The major five minute major penalty they call it? Yeah,
you guys scored the first one. Watching the game like,
all right, the power plays over and I'm like, what
the fuck's going on? Is super duper? I've never seen that.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
It's super duper power play five minutes.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
That's a you can call it that want, It's just
super duper.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
So Stephen was eject did for a hit on Robsdari
and you guys made them pay for it. You never
I was telling Jules how rare it is to ac
a major penalty, and you know, playoffs, the Sene Cup
finals and then to see a team actually execute at
that level to score three goal.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
So were three on it. Yeah, it very rarely happens.
You get you get one, maybe you should get one
five minutes straight power play, but two is top three
is crazy tough.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Now, what makes you guys think why were you in
the zone to get Like you guys were just focused
at this point? What was it? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (51:30):
We just again we had one of those games where
we were just we were on. We were playing well,
you know, fifteen to two, and we lose two, but
we were back, we were our fans were jacked once
this three nothing was up here and that was one two.
Like in fourteen, it was a totally different playoffs. You know,
we're down three nothing. We were down a bunch in
the series and we won the Cup in double overtime

(51:52):
at home. Here we wanted six to one, so it's
three nothing. After the first we're in the locker room,
we're like, op three nothing, Like, hey, let's keep going,
keep going, like teams can come back from three to nothing.
But then Carts's goal at the start of the second
period made it four to nothing, and we're like, okay,
you know, it's pretty good. Fans are going crazy because
they're pretty sure we're gonna win. Uh, it's four to one,

(52:14):
and then we got, yeah, the empty netterer to make
it five to one. I remember I was, I was
on the ice and Trevor Lewis.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
You know, we were already probably gonna win, right probably
it's were up four to one, but that five to
one goal that set it off, you know, and for
us on the bench, and Darryl was that hard ass
coach that he wanted us to play right to the whistle.
See he was, he was was five to one, and
then mac Green scored again, so with six to one,
and kind of a cool story, like none of us
wanted to go on the ice and play the game.

(52:41):
We wanted to stay on the bench just because the
party was on the bench and it was six one,
five one, six one, and we're winning, and it's like
it was the last like at least five minutes the
third period. My shift's ever been so short, and I
was like twenty seconds on the ice.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
I changed.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Yeah, Darryl's yelling at us all that keep playing the
fucking game, you know, like it's not over yet, it's over.
But that was him, And then like our reunions afterwards.
We had our fourteen reunion last year in our twelve
and then we talked about that and he laughs and
he goes, what do you want me to do? You know,
you know how I am? And it's great, it's fun.

Speaker 4 (53:17):
That's something that was so cool rewatching this game was
that it was decided with like five minutes left, and
like being like not only decided with that much time left,
but also being in the home arena and just feeling
that energy and like being able to like kind of
celebrate while it's happening. It's got to be such a
cool experience because very really does that happen in the NHL.
A lot of games Stanley Cups are one on the road,

(53:39):
and they're one at the last second.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
They're won by a goal or two and then or
an overtime like we did in fourteen. But we didn't
want there to be any whistles. Put the whistle away,
we don't let's keep her going here.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Oh my gosh. So I've never been like that. I've
always been like in heart pulpitation.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Your Super Bowl wins goals?

Speaker 2 (53:58):
What was the sco is like?

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Obviously, see the.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Twenty eighty three were down. That was like we were
down ten points to Seattle in fourteen.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
Right, you get that little bit of the kneel down
after the interception. You had a couple of minutes for
the sea.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
We had that. But then in maybe in was there
one Los Angeles when we or we beat l A.
Rams we won by ten field goal?

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Was it thirteen three?

Speaker 2 (54:21):
It was thirteen three three when Steve kicked that field goal.
Steve kicked kind So there was still it's it's still
you don't yeah, you never know.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
There wasn't like a blowout where you guys are like, hey,
we're winning.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
It's not like this. No, yeah, not like this, you guys.
You guys had to like you had to like play
the don't let the complacency card kick in. Yeah, yeah,
card that you can't play. That's that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
And then four twenty fourteen, it was complete opposite, Like,
like I said, we're down instead of being up three
to zero in every series here started off down three.
They were down three to two to Anaheim. Yeah, then
we were down to nothing game seven to Chicago, and
it's just, yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
I'm curious, how long is the break in between periods? Really?

Speaker 1 (55:08):
Twenty?

Speaker 2 (55:09):
So what do you guys do for do you guys
take your pads off?

Speaker 1 (55:12):
I always took my shoulder pads alllow pads off. A
lot of guys take uh, a lot of guys do
that or on til their skates.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Are you guys sweaty?

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Yeah, like your jersey sweaty? Do you do you do
you get a dry jersey? Do they dry them or something?

Speaker 5 (55:26):
Not?

Speaker 1 (55:26):
The jerseys some guys maybe have to second will take
put a different undershirt on. Yeah, nobody. Some guys do
from that I played with, but not really. Many guys
get fully undressed. That's a little much, I think.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Yeah, because at a halftime, knowing it's rarely at our halftime,
guys take off shoulder pads really, yeah, because it's so
hard to put them back.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Huh what you got trainers that throw?

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Yeah, but the jerseys are so tight.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
Yeah, it's like a fucking task to put them. It
takes energy a lot.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Do you guys change how often do you change shoes? Cleats?

Speaker 2 (56:01):
You don't take them off, You don't take unless it
was like unless you change in game from molded to studded,
which is for the ground, because of the field, because
of the field.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
So I had new pair of skates every month, once
a month.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
Oh, gloves you change, I would change gloves that. I
would change gloves a lot.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
I like stickies, yeah, which I found were very very
good when I was catching for you guys and stuff.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
What you gloves? You said, skates skates?

Speaker 1 (56:27):
I once a month, I would like new skates. And
so when we won these years, I gave a lot
of skates for the year. But I just liked them,
like once they started bending and giving, I didn't like that.
I wanted them hard and I wanted didn't want them
to give. So, yeah, that gloves. We have glove dryers
next to the bench. I always liked my gloves dry,
not not soggy and wet and stuff. So ten minut

(56:49):
every ten minute every TV time out, we'd throw him
to the trainer and he would drive and get my
other ones. How often were you change gloves in a game?

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Justice depended if I had if I started out hot
with like a maybe like a four or five catch drive, Yeah,
I'm keeping those bad boys on the.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Weather though, right if it's a hot, humid.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
And then at halftime if it was really hot, I
would sweat through my gloves. Yeah, So like in Miami
a lot, I'd always I'd wear a new glove in
the second half. Yeah, because like it gets so hot,
you're I thought your it would slide on me.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
I don't like that. I like my shit tight, like
I'd wore my cleats tight.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Again, you don't want to give if you're like, you know, yeah,
I would think, but I would think you would change
the gloves more often.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
No, and then the rain games, you'd wear a leather glove,
so you really didn't have that much grip with them.
So you just kept those ones on and you know
they would you would feel it out.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Yeah. I found that you guys was such good hands.
Like when I was catching for Tom and with you guys,
like I would always catch with my body.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
And then but then two days later, I've showed Tom
pictures and stuff my bruises everywhere here, even here, all
the way down my arm, all the way down my
arm because I didn't want to let him down and
drop a ball. And then he's probably I don't know,
I could just mentally that wouldn't be good. If I know,
if I'm throwing you and you're dropping balls, I'd be like,
come on, dude, like you're out here for me, like

(58:13):
to catch them. Yeah, So that was how I thought.
And uh, that's why you're champion. Beat up man.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
No, take us to the LA fan. Okay, what's the
LA King fan like? Like the fans out here, because
I think there's a lot of fans out.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
Here that love the Kings, very loyal, very passionate. They
they love hockey, They love hockey. They only love the Dodgers,
the Lakers, the Clippers. You know, you gotta you gotta win.
You gotta be a good team, right, everybody wants a
good team to go watch. No, we got good fans.
We had in this h around these years, we had
a sellout record. It was like almost two hundred games

(58:48):
in a row sellouts.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
Is Will Farrell as big as a fan as he
says he is, Yeah, fucking sick of that ship, Yeah
he is.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Snoop Dogg too, Yeah, Snoop Snoop Yeah. Yeah. It annoys
me though if they go to another they go to
another game for something and they wearing another team's jersey, like.

Speaker 4 (59:06):
Although as a Penguins fan, Snoop Dogg in the nineties,
Penguins burg down the thing and and juice come.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
On, because we went to the fire, the La Fire
on ice what was it. Yeah, so fare there is
La Fire on ice. So it was a charitable evening
for the fires in Los Angeles. Yeah I had a name.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
I mean to get on the ice. I'm not going

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
I think your daughter and uh yeah, Mac and I. Yeah,
that was it was awesome. That was a fun day.
Take us inside this locker room after the win.

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
Wellavich's blaring before that, before that, let's stay on the
ice real quick. You're up six to one, clock's going
down to zero. Take us through that moment winning your
first Stanley Cup, the energy, all that chat.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Let's let's hear that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
It was cool, like not only being on the bench
and like hugging and celebrating and like you're not really
even watching the games going on out there. You know,
I really watching the game. I remember that. And you
look around in the crowd too, you see fans and
so many fans have come up to me and their
season ticket holders from nineteen sixty seven when they came
in and at the forum and they never seen the

(01:01:24):
team win first championship. So you hear stories like that
and you see how emotional fans are. And you know
fans are, they're passionate, they care about their teams and so,
like I said, we have great fans. So I remember
looking around the crowd.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
And just seeing how people were reacting to who's the
first person you thought of.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
I knew where my parents, my family were sitting, so
I kind of looked up there and you know, they're all,
you know, hugging, and my mom was emotional and yeah,
my sister and my nephew and my buddies were up
there too, and so it was cool after the like
on the ice after like your whole family comes on
the ice, right, and I made sure my buddies had
got their passes to come on the ice.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Mean, that had to be sou I mean, that's gonna
be surreal. The Canadian like all your boys and your mom,
Like I saw the story where your mom's like watching
the games, your grandma's watching you got grandma and garden
and shit, oh yeah, like people up in Canada love
this stuff in like you're all your family must have

(01:02:20):
been so proud.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's great. It's you know,
you celebrate with your guys as your team on the ice,
and you lift your hoist Stanley Cup, and you take
the team picture on the ice and all that, and
then you then you skate away from the team picture
and you look over and it's your family and everybody's
family's on the ice. Takes some while to get down
there right and get organized. So while we're celebrating with

(01:02:42):
the team and our coaches and trainers, you know, then
all of a sudden, you see your family and that's
the second part of it, right, And then you get
pictures with your family and my buddies who I played
minor hockey with since I was six years.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
Old, and you know, we did it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
You know, that's awesome. Man. They wanted to be there
to see me win, and it's gosh, that was a
great feeling.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):

You always end up getting dressed kind of the same way, right,
you put your tied up my left skate first, and
not for any reason, just it's comfortable and you do it. Yeah,
you know, I'm sure it's saying no.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
I mean some guys, but I feel like every hockey
guy has a little yeah. And then also like you
guys got what's the hockey slang? Like a lot of
you put a y at the end of something. What's this?
What's a hockey slang? That guy's a beauty guy's pumper

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
Now, these guys have there's a lot of different stuff,

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
You know, like getting to Connie this year now sick Connie.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Yeah, there's a lot out there that I'm like, what
what does that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
All right, all right, let's let's grade this game. Let's
get into it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:19):
Well on to that first Ellie would win their first
time They Cup in franchise history. That's crazy, Jonathan Quick.
As we mentioned one the con smythe LA went sixteen
and four. Like you mentioned, this playoff roun unbelievable run.
This would be Mark Timberd's last playoff game. And then
in twenty fourteen LA would win their second Stanley Cup
and then something I want to just say China because

(01:05:39):
the goaltending this whole playoff was incredible between Mark tem
Berder and Jonathan Quick. Burder had two point one to
two goals against average a nine a nine to one
to seven say percentage on a fourteen nine record, and
then Quick had a one point four to one goals
against average and a say percentage of nine four six with.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
Three shutouts for six. That's that's insane. Yeah. And to
be first seed, second seed thirteen.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Yeah, that's a.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Hell of big boy. That's big boys, that's Hall of
Fame stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
That's our right picture. That was a Beacher's madhouse one night.
See big Bird in the background Beacher's Mad and then
Elmo on the top left.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Yeah, so you guys, I mean get in the party
in see my son now Mac loves I should show
him this picture later.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
He's only you know, eighteen months.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
All right, let's go to the let's grade this game.
The name of this game. These are some names that
we came up with. If you have a name that
you want to call it, let us know what it is.
But we came up with the game six. The first
one's the sweetest. This one's for John Quick, the stan
Lee on the Sunset Strip game or anything.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
I wouldn't say Sunset Strip because uh see, I love games.
Just Game six.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
I like that Game six, the first one. Let's go
with Game six.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
I like Game six.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
Game six. Score the game. Is this the greatest game
of all time? Let's score it. Decimals encourage stolely the
stakes of this Game six match between you and these
freaking state devils. What do you mean, stak What the stakes?

(01:07:31):
So a game seven Stanley Cup Finals, you can't get
higher stakes ten being the highest stakes of all time.
But we've done like preseason games.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
These stakes were fairly high because we don't want to
lose and go back to Jersey for Game seven.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
This is that's tough. Not elimination games.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Elimination, no, but for saying out of ten. I would say.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Eight. That's that's that's an integrity type score. I'll go
with the seven point nine. Yeah, Jack had a nine
point one. I had an eight point seven.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
Wow, this is like, yeah, price is right, deal.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Price is right. The price is right, bitch, let's go.
Star power of this game. The star power of this
game zero to ten decimals encouraged slowly, the.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
Star power and players that kind of deal.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
I mean, you were in La Will Ferrells at the
fucking game.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
I saw, yeah, yeah, everyone, we gotta go. We're gonna
go nine point five. I think it's tough.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
It's tough to a lot of Hall of Famers and
future Hall of famers in this matchup. I'm gonna go
with a eight point eight. I still don't think all
the Hollywood people that come to the games, or fans
of the Kings, I think it's just political. Jack had
a seven point one. At eight point two. Okay, the
gameplay of the game six to one, beat down, six

(01:08:41):
to one beat down. The gameplay, like you understand, that
is close. The game winning goals in the first period
is not great for gameplay. Ten ten For me, I'm
gonna go with a seven point one. Look six point one.
You can do your perspective from a perspective that is a.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
I see your guys, is reasoning.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
And then the name of the game, the game six game.

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
It's where this game stands in the Parthian of sports too,
like the cultural impact of this game.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Right, So you talk about like twenty to three is
one of those.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
Games, it's in the hockey world. It's probably not.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Let us don't let us persuade you. I'd say, this
is your score. It's like that, we'll go seven point five.
You're a point.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Guy that got a three point?

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
Did you not hear? Is encouraged, but they're encouraged. I
can't read read I can't read at all. Okay, so
it is a seven point five four? What does that
land on our list? It's us at point five four? Okay,
it's our new new seventy fifth game.

Speaker 4 (01:09:56):
Just ahead of this is my I'm embarrassed to say this,
just ahead of the twenty nineteen Week thirteen Saints versus
Falcons game, and just behind the two thousand we Falcons game.
We did it with Kim Jordan where he like sacked
Matt Matt Ryan a bunch. So you guys and just
behind the two thousand and two Western Conference Finals Game
five Lakers versus Great.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
Games. Not a good would be would have been pretty high.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Would have been what let's see what, let's see our hockey,
our top hockey. We've got some notorious hockey haters in
the scoring. Where's our top hockey hater or top Miracle
on Ice is fourth, fourth all time Miracle on ice, well.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
Fourth game seven.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
That's uh oh, that's what we do. Great work.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
Yeah, Miracle and Ice is fifth Ericle and ic Yes, Cubs.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
In four nations square off.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
That was yeah, that was good.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
That was way too high. I think that's high though,
because there was recency bias to the greater who was here.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, Wayne, he's great beauty.

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
We also did the Bruins Canucks Stanley Cup Game seven
the year before. Also way too low, way too low. Yeah,
that's okay, that's cool. Great list, Well, we.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Got a list, Jared, we miss anything from this game?
We got to talk about some Stanley Cup celebration, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
There's too many people in the locker room after too
many people in the locker room, too many randoms, too
many randoms, too.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
Many randoms because you can't do what you really want
to do.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Too many pigeons. Twenty fourteen was a lot different. You
guys kept it close close the door. Is there who
we want in there?

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
It was just like, I don't know, there was a
couple of people had their like friends in there, and
there were you know, girls in there, like not a lot,
but there was just I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
It wasn't for the boys.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
We're looking around, you know, we're just like, who is
this guy? Who's this guy whatever? And he just it
is what it is. You just let it slide because
you know you're whatever celebrating. But the second one, fourteen, yeah,
we we close it off pretty good. It was just players, trainers, coaches,
and I found like the second one, I was just
sitting back for the guys that I've won now twice
and we're just sitting back and watching first one. You're

(01:12:02):
doing your thing and you're going crazy. Second time here
and we won both at home, which was cool, sore,
it was so felt so dejevous because it was two
within the three years. I remember just sitting around just watching,
especially watching the guys that had won their first and
you're like watching how he's reacting, and there was five
or six much just sitting there and we're just like quiet,
not even really saying much.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Right, Yeah, So I remember that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
I remember that really well. And I have a cool
picture of there's four of us in the locker room.
Somebody took it of us doing exactly that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Yeah, I think, like to double back off what you
just said, piggyback when you're there in the locker room
after ours were always kind of pretty much our team, trainers, coaches,
and then there'd be a couple, but like it was
pretty secluded.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Yeah, families are on the field, but they're not going.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
They're not going on there. Yeah, unless you're like Tom's
kid or something, you know, I think Brady's kid was
in there. But no, But like that's the time for
like I think, for everyone to show the gratitude to
the trainers. Yeah, because the thought like there's a thousand,
like go take pictures with all them and help their
experience of the Super Bowl. I remember taking pictures with

(01:13:12):
all the doctors, and you take pictures with all your boys,
all the younger guys that never you know, like that's
the time where you get to really spend it with
the team that got you there, and you never get
that and you'll never be with that same group ever again. No,
that's the last time you were with that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Group in one room and with the ultimate goal of
why we all started playing hockey.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
And you didn't realize that your first one, but your
second when you did. And that's how I felt like
that too. It was like the second one you realize
how hard it was to get there, and.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
Yeah, I got chills just thinking about it because you're
like and right away we're like, hey, we're not doing
that again. We're locking this place down. And there was
some like I remember my my sister and my nephew
came in for like two three minutes. We got a
picture by my locker and then we kind of made
surelady got out of there. But yeah, that was great.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
That was That's what I remember for best story from
this year from twenty twelve. Twenty twelve off the Dome
something that just popped in right there.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
It's kind of an off the ice thing. But it
was the second round because we were we were fifteen
to two, right, so we had so many so much
time in between series. Yeah, so the second round we
swept Saint Louis and I remember we had before we
were to play Arizona Phoenix Coyotes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
We had like nine days or something, so like we.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
Were like going out in Hollywood, going out the beach.
We were like we got maybe two days off and
then but still nine days. That's a long time. And
then you're also worried about rust and stuff. But I
remember after that series we were like, I think after
Game four, after the win, we were, you know, we
had sprinter bust outside changing their clothes and we're gone.

(01:14:57):
We had a fun group. We were on the ice,
off the ice. We were super tight. We all live
down at the beach together within five minutes of each other.
We'd have our North End bar and that was kind
of our local bar down in Hermosa Beach, and we'd
all after games meeting the meet in the back alley
and it's a two beer walk and.

wake up at the ass crack or vcrt a v Yeah,
never that early? What about you guys? Guy? Oh yeah, exactly.
My parents would have to put me back down.

Speaker 4 (01:30:12):
We would because our our Santa would bring unwrapped presents
so we could go early.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
I like that, and then we would have wrapped presence
from my parents that we would do later on. Yeah,
that was kind of like that kind of like that,
that's cool. We're bifurcation. The bigger stuff was never wrapped, right, Yes,
you come down like holy ships. He's like bro, just
admire me and all my glory. I don't need rapping.
That's so good. I got that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:39):
Remember my grandma got me a Dreamcast once fully not
expecting it either, didn't even ask.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
My grandma got me the Aladdin video game that I
asked for. Aladdin. Yeah, I remember that sea in my stocking.
That's how would you guys?

Speaker 5 (01:30:53):
But then stockings were always like gum. It's like gum
toiletries all like CBS that John. Maybe a little cash
rolled up in there. Would you ever get like candle nuts?

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
Yeah? Like then there's like a walnut in my stocking.
That's probably still from nineteen ninety six. I do like
some nuts. We would get lottery tickets in there too.
Oh that's good. My older brother gave when he because
he was always older older, But we never got the lotties.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
I love.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
Stockings are under a lot of like the cheap candy
Little Santa Claus like Marshmallow Guy candy. We get linderballs.

Speaker 7 (01:31:27):
Linder ball is always some Altoids in there.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
I don't get. I gotta rep some Authtoids. Sometimes socks
would be in the sto socks is like underwear. Ye,
maybe some cards? Is that a thing. That's I'm saying everyone,
It's crazy, right man. The traditions are all. Do you
remember the first Christmas you got socks and you actually
won't liked it? When I was like thirteen and stuff
old when I was like twelve, When I was like eleven, twelve, thirteen,

(01:31:52):
and like Nike socks. I wanted black Nike socks and
ship with the checks. Baby, yeah, the cafe ees that
were yeah, like I always like appreciate it. I loved
socks like new socks because it's sports ship and we
didn't get them off and be going in with holes
in the socks and ship from the feet up. Baby.

Speaker 4 (01:32:12):
If I had unlimited money, I would never wear the
same pair of socks twice.

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
I don't think I wear I think I don't think
I wear same pair of socks twice for like ten years.
You haven't ye WHOA crushing it. I knew you were
a big shot, but I didn't know how much. But
it wasn't that wasn't like I had I would hand
up my house. It's because in anytime I went to
the locker room, there's just millions of Nike socks. Like

(01:32:38):
Rob was grabbing the gatorades. You're grabbing socks. I'm grabbing socks.
I have so many, Like the underwear, like the tub shorts.

Speaker 7 (01:32:46):
You can't be just a good old fashioned Nike CRW sock.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
When you just watch take them out, great sound and
you get the little the little little plastic thing that
gets caught up in there that holes.

Speaker 7 (01:32:58):
Sometimes it tickles a little plasticity.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Yeah like that good stuff. Oh yeah, uh, let's see
two more, all right, two more here? All right? I
like this? Oh how about these?

Speaker 5 (01:33:09):
I had a lot of money related ones over here today,
A lot of challenges that relate to you suffering for
a monetary outcome. How about this one? I asked Kyler
this earlier. There's a real question was going viral a
little bit? Could you disappear? Thirty days you're taking to
a safe house. You have all the food you need, entertainment, TV,
all the stuff, no communication, no cell phone. But at

(01:33:32):
the end of the thirty days you get a million bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:33:36):
Maybe for where's that? Yeah that's easy, but no one
can know where you're like, you can't tell anyone anything.
I got kids, and shit, That's what I'm saying. This
is tough.

Speaker 4 (01:33:45):
That's what me and Jock are said earlier, which is
like if you have like kids or like a like
a wife, or like a longtime girlfriend, you can't. But
if you're a single guy, fuck, yeah, thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:33:53):
Days nothing the big house. That's like his dream.

Speaker 7 (01:33:59):
Honestly, it's kind of my dream, yeah, Loki.

Speaker 5 (01:34:02):
And then see then when you return after the news
is like you get the most fire Instagram page.

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
Is a million cash or is it a million? No,
it's cash. It's cash, straight up as so, yeah, you
don't get it to tax, no tax, straight only cash.
It's clean. It's clean, straight up.

Speaker 5 (01:34:20):
It's straight up yep, no tax, straight up, millie if
I can up it if you want me to know.

Speaker 2 (01:34:25):
But if it's if it's a mill and like, then
you got. If it's cash, then you know, you know,
you gotta like report that a fantasy. You don't checking
and no one else CAx free. It's clean money, it's
putting your bank account. You're good, straight up honestly, I
might go for thirty you never you can never have
it next. You never have too many extra bills. Wise words,

(01:34:50):
Jesus a million dollars. But like imagine, like Lily, just
not knowing where you went for thirty days. Is that
worth a million? I mean, we can go take a
private jet to Disney World, that's right, She'll know dad.

Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
I think I would do it for ten.

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
Daddy's out there grinding for the paper. No, I don't
go to do it for ten ten million. My marriage
is worth more than a million dollars. What about two million? Well,
I mean I don't want to it's worth ten million. Okay,
that is my rock bottom number.

Speaker 4 (01:35:18):
I'm not getting in that one because I can come
back after thirty days with ten and being like, okay,
a million is just like that's like a two bedroom
house in La.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
It's not that not even that much living. It's crazy, man, bro.
I might do it, though, I might do it. If
it was seven years ago, I would do it indefinitely.

(01:35:49):
Sixty days, I just do it forever. Seven years I
was playing and I was making money. Honestly, Yeah, that's
kind of what you did is kind of what I
did for ten years.

Speaker 7 (01:36:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
But you could communicate with the world, man, Yeah, I
mean I don't. I think that would be kind of nice.
But it would the only responsibilities that you have with family. Yeah, tough.

Speaker 5 (01:36:12):
I wonder how that would be when you come back, Like,
would people be mad at you? They'd be happy for you?

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
Depends on the level. Yeah, depends on how much they
worried about you when you were gone.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
And also depends on how many how much responsibility you have.

Speaker 4 (01:36:23):
Honestly, it depends on how much you're giving them or
how much it affects them. Yeah, man, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
Just write a letter though. I write a letter to
him before, I wonder. Yeah, that's easy.

Speaker 4 (01:36:37):
Then if you just say, hey, I'm going away for
three days, I'm getting a million at all.

Speaker 5 (01:36:40):
I think the kidnappers wouldn't let it. I would concoct
a story when I got out of there too.

Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
The kidnapped me, bro, Oh yeah, you go for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:36:50):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
I fought my way out of there. They trot to
hold me down. I broke out.

Speaker 5 (01:36:55):
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (01:36:56):
I'm kicking my ass, layer, Layer.

Speaker 5 (01:37:00):
Shout out, Jim Carrey, goat, Oh my gosh, you will
get one more here. Oh here's another good one, jewels.
I've got a lot of these good money joints. Ten
MILLI ten bro. But you have to raise your best
friend from birth to their eighteen.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
I mean, what's different comes up? Do you lose your
best friend. Bro, Oh, you get to raise them? Yeah,
you have to raise them. If your best friend's already
kind of a child. Now am I the same age
that I am?

Speaker 1 (01:37:30):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:37:30):
Yep, it's you.

Speaker 7 (01:37:31):
And then hey, buddy, little baby, just pop down on
this front step.

Speaker 5 (01:37:35):
This is yours to raise. Yeah, that's easy. You would
do it, though, But then, Kurdi or whoever your best
friend is gone.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
Eighteen years man, with my high cholesterol, I think I
might be good.

Speaker 5 (01:37:46):
You got one of your eighteen years eighteen years in
on eighteenth birthday, found out it wasn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
Who knows? Would you do it? Though? Raised it?

Speaker 7 (01:37:54):
But then you could raise them and mold them to
be even cooler.

Speaker 2 (01:37:57):
Maybe I would do it, and then just fucking in
six years used Tom Brady's cloning shit and just clone
his ass. Honestly, bro Kurty, that'd be fire, just clone them.
I would. I think i'd do it, Kyler, Would you
do it? No, my best friend's a huge pain in
the ass, But you could. I don't want to do
You could shake him responsible for the twelve year old

(01:38:17):
version of him. I already knew that version of him.
I don't have to be responsible. That would be tough.
Well ten million dollars. Put him, just put him someplace
and maybe when your boarding school. It's like, I don't care,
he's in boarding school forever. Just didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:38:30):
Definitely you see him once. You're like a rich parent,
like one of those rich international parents. Yeah, you just
drive by from way from the back of the limo.
Keep it up, son, work on those studies. Oh my gosh,
I hope the kids are being nice. Ten million, and
then you got the and then you got your one
from your thirty day disappearance eleven million.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
Let's go, there's caking right now. Disappear like during his graduation.
Then I used my disappearance time Jack. Would you do this?

Speaker 3 (01:38:57):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:38:57):
Man, dude, I can barely take care of myself.

Speaker 1 (01:39:01):
Bro.

Speaker 5 (01:39:02):
I don't even know the rules of like the microwave,
much less like I mean, raising a kid rules.

Speaker 2 (01:39:07):
I don't even know how to operate like I Man, No,
I probably would do it. I need the bread.

Speaker 5 (01:39:15):
Plus, maybe I could get like some like some like
single dad pity type points from the ladies.

Speaker 2 (01:39:20):
That'd be kind of tight.

Speaker 7 (01:39:21):
Ye, I'll treat the kid like a dog at the
dog park to like like raise the chicks.

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
Shots. Yeah, but I ain't.
