Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Obviously, you guys know Ross Tucker in for Dan, the
former NFL offensive lineman, a long time ago journeyman. Pretty
cool temp job in my twenties. Instead, I had an
awesome night. So like a lot of people listening or watching,
you know, I've got a wife and young kids. I
gotta be honest with you, guys. It was kind of nice.
(00:26):
After the show yesterday, I went home, I took an
awesome nap, I got up from the nap, I had
an incredible workout, and then I had an apple pecan
salad lovely, and I had some of the chocolate covered
pretzels that were gifted to me by Fritz yesterday. And
(00:47):
then I watched a straight hour of College Baseball World
Series at Tennessee, tex A, and m just in my
hotel room, bed in my underwear, nobody to bother me,
didn't have to worry about it, and then the hockey
came on. Now, I will say this about the hockey.
I don't think the game went until like eight twenty five.
(01:10):
I think they got a good twenty five minutes there
of pregame. But it was good Alana's Moris set. We
got to get into that. By the way, I only
ever bought two CDs in my whole life, and one
of them was Jagged Little Pill by Alana's Morris Set.
But I think it's rare, first of all, for an adult,
like most of the people that are listening to us
on all the Fox Sports radio affiliates or people watching
(01:33):
us on Peacock. It's kind of rare, isn't it for
an adult, you know, mid forties, to just have an
entire night like that by yourself, to do whatever you want,
whenever you want to watch it, and to have two
game clinching situations, two titles on the line, and by
(01:57):
the way, they both end up being good games. I mean, look,
I feel like in those situations a lot of times
one or both games could have been a blowout. Instead
the agg he's from Texas, A and M They rally
to come back and they almost win it. They lose
six ' five against Tennessee. Who has this awesome relief
(02:17):
pitcher who I guarantee I want to see in concert
as a country singer in like eight years. I think
his name's kirby'connell. No chance, he's not opening for Luke
Colmbs in four years. There's no If he's not playing
professional baseball, that guy is going to be a country
singer talking about when I won the balls, the first
national championship and all the ladies I got as a result.
(02:41):
By the way, he's from Johnson City, which I think
what I think in the one Morgan Wallens song, I
think he talks about no Jefferson City. Maybe I don't know,
they're all the same.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Johnson City's referenced in a wagon wheel by Darius Rucker,
and it's many other people have done wagons.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, yeah, so and then and then the huh the
hockey was just awesome. The hockey was you know, I'll
give the worldwide leader a tip of the cap. First
of all, Steve Levy, Messier and PK Suban, they're fantastic.
And then that feature they had on the guy that
(03:17):
keeps all of his white gloves. He's never actually touched
the cup. PAULI just whispered his name to me. How
do you know the guy's name?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Phil Pritchard, the keeper of the Cup. He's been in
studio before. He's had the same haircut since like eighth grade.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
It's unbelievable. His haircut is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
He's a great guy. He's been in studio. He handles
the cup. He travels around the country. He takes the
place as he's responsible for it. He has multiple pairs
of white gloves.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, he has thousands of white gloves. He wears a
new pair every time, I think, and he saves all
of them. I feel like that would be pretty valuable
memorabilia to have the white gloves from when your team
got the cup that night and then in the game.
You know, if you were not sure whether or not
(04:05):
you were gonna you were up for this, Like if
you were not sure whether you're gonna watch the entire
Stanley Cup Final Game seven. They scored two goals in
the first seven minutes. I mean the Panthers score like
five minutes in, and then two minutes later the Oilers scored,
and it was like, oh, it is on now, there's
only one more goal the whole rest of the game. However,
(04:29):
the entire game, we were one shot away from the
outcome changing it like three to one, you can like
get up to go to the bathroom. Three to one,
you can go get water. When it's two to one,
You're like, wait a minute, No, no, Like, I'm not
missing this. I've been watching this for an hour and
(04:49):
a half. I Am not gonna go refill my water
right now. I'll wait till the next commercial break, or
I'll wait till the intermission. I'm not Like, if there's
a goal that ties it at two to two, or
there's a goal that breaks the one one time, I'm
not missing that seaton.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
That's what I kind of love about scores like that.
Like in hockey, if you're down by two goals, the
game is over. You score one more and you're right
back in it, you know what I mean, all right,
we're back now. We could do this, you know. But
if you're down by two, well it's over. We can't
do anything about this. Well, wait one more, now we're
in it. You know, just the whole mindset changes.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Paul I wish I knew more about the nuance of hockey,
like what their strategy was against the Oilers, the Panther strategy,
because it felt like they were in some type of
defense where they just clogged up the goal the entire time.
I know that standard procedure and everything like that, but
every time McDavid or anyone from the Oilers got a
play towards the goal. It's like a stick would fly
up and they catch on and they never got a
(05:43):
clean look. It felt like they never the Oilers never
got a clean look at the goal.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
See now, I thought, from my very juvenile vantage point,
I thought the Panthers were the better team for the
first two periods. Maybe for period in like three quarters
it was very I mean they were holding on in
that last period. There were a bunch of chances, and
(06:08):
I know we'll get into Connor McDavid winning the cons
My Trophy, and that's actually what I'm looking forward to.
From tire rack dot com, the official tire expert and
retailer of the Dan Patrick Show. Go to tire rack
dot com slash Dan, try the Tire Decision Guide and
see the full line of general tire tires, special offers,
free road hazard protection and mobile tire installation. Tire rack
(06:31):
dot com the way tire buying should be. I know
we're going to get into Connor David winning the cons
My Trophy a little bit later on the show, and
there's a lot to get to there. I will just
say this, if you go back and watch some of
the highlights they showed he had I don't know, three
or four passes in the third period, second third period
(06:54):
that could have been goals. In fact, if you watch
right before the go ahead goal by Reinhardt from the Panthers,
the Oilers had a better chance to score. The puck
was like slowly going past the crease and there was
no guy there to be able to tap it in
(07:15):
for the Oilers. So I know there's a lot of
talk about McDavid not scoring last night, a lot of
talk about the cons my stuff, and we'll get into that,
but I think he played a little bit better than
people realize. That's the thing too, that's so tough about hockey.
I feel like in basketball, you can like clear out
and give the ball to Michael Jordan or give the
(07:36):
ball to Lebron and it's like, Okay, they're either going
to score or you have to clearly go double team
them and then maybe they can pass it to the
open man and John Paxon or Steve Kerr, or I'll
throw a little Craig Hodges in there, we'll make the
open jumper. Hockey doesn't really work that.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Way because the line changes. The line changes like mcdamid.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So you can't just like they. I know in the
NBA you can play now and so that's a little
bit different. But in hockey it's not like And also,
you have to get the ball past you have to
get the ball, you have to get the puck past
the blue line. It's not like they can just like
throw the ball to Connor McDavid and then run a
clear out and he can ice that one. By the way,
if they could do that, he would score about a
(08:16):
zillion goals because he's unbelievable. But you can't. I feel
like one guy as good as McDavid is, I feel
like one guy can't totally take over like they theoretically
could in the NBA, Like where Steph Curry's just making
thirty foot threes. It's like, Okay, what are you gonna
do at this point? Is that fair? Yeah? If how
(08:39):
do you have a hockey guy take over? You can't
just give him the puck and say everybody else rest
resort to clear out for McDavid.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, I'm sure this plays. They get it some, but
I think it's more so the shift changes. What does
he spend twenty two minutes on ice in the entire game,
you know, like he's got a you can't.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And they had him on a lot at the end
and he was totally gassed.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
There is maybe a minute twenty left and the announcers
even saying like they can't do a shift change right now.
Everyone's just trying to get up the ice.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
The lactic acid that had built in for those guys.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
But you know what's my one of my favorite things
the timing of pulling the goalie. Maybe it is maybe
a minute ten minute twenty left and the goaltender sitting
there and he's kind of inching out, but he can't
leave too early. They got to make sure the puck
is clear, and he just fails to the to the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's just I think it's I wonder if there's any
type of research or data as to when you pull
the goalie, Like why do they always do it like
a little over a minute. I mean, are you more
risky and you pull them like with two minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
If you're down two goals, you'll pull them even earlier.
I saw that. I think the Panthers did a couple
of games ago.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But do you think that's just like a coach's intuition?
And gut reaction. You think they have data that says
this is the optimal time to pull your goalie seating.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
They have to have some kind of data just because
just as much like I don't know the risk reward
of that right, you have to have that kind of
data where all the team on the other team has
to do is win the puck back and fire it
down the ice. And there's probably I thought we.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Were getting chance. I thought we were gonna get empty
that goal because yeah, a couple they tried a couple
of times, that one that was slowly making its way down.
You're like, dang, that's gonna go in.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, I mean I would imagine that they have that
down to an exact science or wells as close as
you can.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know, a lot of stuff to get into today,
by the way, which will be awesome. We're gonna have
Bill Lindsay, who is the Florida Panthers radio analyst. He's
gonna be first up, as are on our guest list
today from Fritzy, longtime Florida Panther. You know what I
love about Bill Lindsay, Like I was reading the bio
(10:45):
on him. Not only did he play in the NHLF
for like fifteen years, but when he was done, he
didn't played two more years in Germany. Hockey guys, can
you imagine a guy playing twelve years in the NFL
and then like for the last two years, like you know,
I'm gonna I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Play in the CFL like Yarmi yager.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That would never happen, Like hockey guys, I mean, how
much money. I'm gonna ask Bill how much money he
made in the German league his last years, or if
he just wanted to be over there for Octoberfest, or
what the deal was. We're gonna get into the Connor
McDavid winning the con smythe because there's so many interesting
things there about a losing team player winning the MVP.
(11:23):
But it's also it's not just for the Stanley Cup finals,
for the whole playoffs, so we'll get into that. The
calend of Panthers. While we're talking Panthers look like they're
getting a new stadium or a least stadium renovations, public money.
Until he's a hot topic. The Lakers introed JJ Reddick
yesterday and he was dropping f bombs. He does not care.
(11:47):
He is very clear that he does not care what
people say about him, So then let's talk about him.
If he doesn't care about what people say about him,
of course we'll get the play of the day stat
of the day. What we learned a lot to get to.
I did get a text last night from a number
that was not in my phone and it just said Elation.
(12:11):
And I was just I got text message right when
the game ended. It said Elation and I was just
about to immediately hit the delete and report as junk
because I'm like, what is this? And then a couple
seconds later, this is Mattie Rose from Calgary great talking. Yeah, yes,
(12:33):
you know I thought about all night. It was. It
was Mattie Rose, the radio host from Calgary, or as
Polly likes to say, Calgary, that joined us on yesterday's show.
I am fascinated by this element. I didn't care that much,
but I wanted Edmonton to win. I wanted it for
those people. And yet here's another guy from Alberta. You
(12:55):
would think that they want to bring the cup. Nope, Elation,
that Florida one. See.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I love that Kachuck in the post game was like
he's like, you know, just lift the Stanley Cuppy.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
He's like, oh my god, we did it.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
We won, And he says in his interview he's just like,
and you know, shout out to all my Calgary fans.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You know I couldn't let Edmonton win. Oh he said that. Yeah,
in the like he just won.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Stanley CuPy just did it and he was like, yeah,
shout out to Calgary. You know, I wouldn't let them win.
I was like, God, this rivalry is great. I mean,
I don't he played there. I think for a bit.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Dany like forced his way, like I don't. I don't
follow hockey, you know, fact check me on this, but like,
didn't he make it clear he didn't want to play
there anymore?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I think probably.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
However, in that moment, he was like, shout out to
my day ones.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You guys have been with me and you knew I
wasn't gonna let them win.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, Kachuck was that. I started his career there. I
played six years there.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I love that Calgary shout out as well to those
of you that give us a buzz eight seven seven

Bill Lindsay to Florida Panthers radio analyst. There's just so
(14:47):
much stuff to get to from last night. The NBA
Draft is tomorrow night. I have not heard one person
say one thing about the NBA Draft being tomorrow night
other than and it's like the line from Major League,
who the bleep are these guys? You know, that's basically

what people are saying about tomorrow night's NBA Draft. We'll
probably talk more about that tomorrow, but we can at

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Rolling along here on a Tuesday morning edition of The
Dan Patrick Show. Very excited to dive a little bit
more into this hockey, especially because hockey guys are awesome.
They were my favorite guys at Princeton other than the
football guys. I loved hanging out with the hockey guys.
We're at Prince University, and all these guys would talk
(16:39):
about was playing in the East Coast Hockey League for
five hundred bucks a week. They're like, hey, I hear
the East Coast leagues paying five hundred bucks. Hey, And
they loved it. It was It was amazing. Nobody loves
their sport like hockey guys love their sport. Really excited
to talk to the Florida Panthers radio color analyst Bill Lindsay.
Fourteen years in the end, he was on the ninety
(17:02):
six Panthers Eastern Conference championship team, played in more than
seven hundred and fifty NHL games for six different teams.
He beat me out. I only played for five teams,
including five hundred and six games with the Panthers. Bill,
it's Ross Tucker filling in for Dan to day. Really
appreciate the time. Thank you so much for coming on
(17:22):
the show. I'm a little bit surprised that you're looking
so good this morning. How late did the party go
last night? Were you part of it? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:30):
I thought I did. Rank on the ice. I was
up till about two o'clock. Get all loss, it taste
a long time, taste a little bit out of me.
So I got home here probably about two thirty three o'clock,
just enjoyed the festivities and let it sink all in
that it's been so long for myself and the journey,
and what an incredible team. I've always had a home
(17:53):
down here in South Florida, but you dreamt of winning
that Stanley Cup since you're five years old. Once you
retire as a player, the only chance that you have
is to be part of an organization, and this is
the organization that I love, and that gritty group of
guys on that ice they were able to pull off
one of the best, most pressure pack games that you
will ever see in one of the It's gonna go
(18:15):
down as an epic Stanley Cup final.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So even though you weren't on the ice bill, you
kind of feel part of it. Like you feel part
of it. It's almost like my high school team winning
the state championship. It's like you have those type of
emotions and feels about it.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Yeah, because I played for this team since the start,
when it started, and yesterday it was thirty one years
to the date of our original expansion draft when they
picked our original team. Just kind of comes full circle.
You mentioned the six different teams I've played with. Yes,
bounced around, but this was always home. I always came
back here. I fell in love with the community, fell
(18:57):
into broadcasting straight after retiring and broadcasting, and for the
last seventeen years with the team. So this is this
is my home, and that's that's why it's part of it.
And that's for the group and for myself and every
this fan base. We've had some down years, we've got
kicked around, beat up, punch to whatever you will, and
(19:17):
all of a sudden, Vinnie Viola, the ownership group, Bill Zeno,
they put it all together, got this remarkable group of
talent on the ice, and the hardest trophy personally in
my opinion, to win. With thirty two teams in the
league and such a battle of attrition, the Panthers able
to finally take it over the finish line. It's hard
to describe. Bill.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
You haven't played in a long time. I feel like,
are you getting a little bit emotional? I mean, does
it mean it means that much? He doesn't it?
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Yes, it does. And if you listen to the radio
callasts and I blew every stop sign that you should
as a color analyst, it was correct my play by
plays back. I blacked out to that at the end
of the game. I I'm totally emotion I'm totally totally emotional.
I was in tears last night. I was a puddle.
I just didn't know what to think. I have my
(20:07):
dad here and my wife. We've been taking care of
my dad, and it's been such a long, long journey
and to maybe have I would never put my hands
on that trophy again. Once it's done. As a player,
you don't have that dream. The only possibility is to
be part of an organization, uh that wins the Stanley Cup.
And it happens to be an organization that I love
(20:27):
and a tariff for so long. And yeah, the emotions
just ran completely wild.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So did you get to touch it? Did you get
to touch it yesterday?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
No? Yeah, we have some players last night. There will
there will be a time though. Then I'm gonna get
my kids here. With it, and UH talked to mister Viola,
and mister Viola came up to be our owner said
what's your ring size? Uh? After the game. So there's
there's gonna be a chance where you're gonna get to
sit down, hopefully lift this thing over our head and
have a big family pitcher. The Stanley Cup had more
(20:58):
business in the dressing map with all the players that
earned the right to touch it first, but at some point
I'm going to get my hands on it.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
That is awesome. We're talking with Bill Lindsay. He's the
Florida Panthers radio analyst who had a fourteen year career,
including over five hundred games with the Panthers, two different
stints with them. What were you thinking, Bill when it
was Panthers up three to zero. I mean, there's no
way that you thought the Oilers would win the next
(21:28):
three score and five plus goals in each. I'm just
curious about your emotions over the last ten days or so.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
So nothing happening and you're expecting to win the Stanley Cup.
You're going back to last time that the team forced
the game seven after being down three nother and you
got to go back to nineteen forty five in the
Stanley Cup and last teammate time a team won nineteen
forty two. The least were World War Two. That's a
that's a long time time I go. So once it
(21:56):
got in and it swung to three to three, that
the most nervous I've been in my life. I came
home after the flight from Edmonton. My wife had lunch
and then she asked, what do you want for dinner.
I said, I can't eat. I said, I'm too nervous.
This is even before the game. Calling that game last
night was tough to sit through and just hoping goes
(22:17):
our way because there was no in between. Last night.
There was either gonna be in the total euphoria that
you could ever feel, or the ultimate gut punch and
maybe something that you can't recover from as a franchise
after what you've been through. So there was no middle
ground for the Panthers last night. If you blow that,
(22:39):
you're going down in historically one of the greatest collapses
of all time. That's where the nerves came from. So
you wanted to feel that before you yes to avoid
that collapse. I've never had nerves like that. I had
to go back to Game seven of the Eastern Conference
Final against the Penguins in ninety six when we deep Pittsburgh.
(23:00):
That was the first time that I had nerves going
through my body like that since I played in a
game seven many moons ago.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Man, that is awesome. So I guess I'm curious Bill,
not knowing as much about the strategy. What did the
Panthers change last night? Because obviously the Oilers had just
scored at least five goals in three straight games. McDavid
was just tearing them up, looking like a video game.
But then last night, for the most part, they slowed
him down. They slowed down the Oilers. Did they change
(23:31):
something tactically strategically that you could explain.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Nope, they know the systems. They just blewler systems. In
the last few games, the energy flat footed. They were
given up too many opportunities. The best thing about a
game seven is you first you really forget about the
first six games. It's a clean slate, it's a super Bowl,
it's a National championship, it's winner take all. Your whole
(23:56):
mindset and mentality changes. And last night for the Panthers,
you could go up and down the lineup with all
eighteen skaters that were on the ice, including the goaltender,
you could point to every one of them and said
they played the game of their lives. They produced under
pressure and it was just go and when they're when
they're like that and they're they're one of the toughest
(24:18):
teams to play against. There that's yours lead to during
the regular season, the best defensive team in the NHL.
Throughout these playoffs, they shut the Stars down, They shut
everyone down. So it's one one, you get that two
to one lead, and they just were blocking shots, the commitment,
everything that you need to do. They got back to
their identity, their DNA, and that is through that hard
(24:41):
work that they put through. They didn't change a lot.
It was just more of being able to handle the
pressure and play your best game when it mattered most
and doing what made you successful throughout the course of
that these playoffs. McDavid nothing dry, sidled nothing, cut the
big boys off the boards and Sergey Vibroski, your goal
tender was dynamite and that's how you win a Stanley
(25:02):
Cup Championship.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
What do you think about McDavid winning the con smythe
Obviously that doesn't happen almost ever in some of the
other major sports right where the losing team their player
is the MVP. And I know it's not just the
Stanley Cup final, it's throughout the postseason. Do you think
he deserved it and your thoughts on him getting it over?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Maybe Barbrowski good for McDavid, Yes, he did. What a
playoffs Thomas Smythe has said the player is most valuable
to his team throughout the course of the playoffs forty
two points. The only names ahead of them on that
list Wayne Gretsky, Mario Lemiue. That's that's pretty elite company.
Great to have him on the stage for hockey, that's
(25:47):
we needed superstars. When Michael Jordan's in the final, when
Tom Brady's playing in a super Bowl, people watch, people
are excited for it. To have Conor McDavid here and
do the things that he did for the Boilers, to
see his world talents. He belongs in another league. Unfortunately
there's no other leag that's how good he is. You
(26:10):
watch the times and it's like a player when you
watch Phebe hockey and you just point on the ice
and said, that can on that ice is so much
better than everyone else. Well, that's Conor mc david for
a lot in the majority of these playoffs. It was
a heroic effort by him. It comes up short at
the end, but kudos have him and what he did
for the Edmonton Oilers. He deserved the trophy.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
All right, last question, Bill has nothing to do with
last night. I'm just fascinated by this dynamic. You played
fourteen years in the NHL, seven hundred and fifty games,
and then when you were done, you went to Germany
to play for two years. Did I read that right?
What is the logic there? You just love the sport
(26:54):
that much you need to make some extra dough like
that would never ever happen with an NFL play here.
They wouldn't never play that many years in the NFL.
But you know what you're gonna do. I'm gonna go
play in a lesser league for less money. Like you
gotta walk me through that decision.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I'm fascinated by it.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
So I've been at the end of my career. I've
played the fourteen years in the NHL, I got sent
down for the Miners for the first time, and at
this point the six teams I was bouncing from team
to team down to the American Hockey League, which is
the Miners. We have the full walkout year four oh
five where we missed the whole season. I go try
out for Columbus. They send me down to Syracuse their
farm system. Looking like the dream is maybe over. And
(27:36):
my wife and my got a friend, a really good
friend called me from Germany and said, we got a
good league over here. They're gonna pay you some pretty
good money, cor apartment, everything. It's gonna be fun. You're
gonna get to play twenty minutes tonight. You want to
come over and play with me and my wife after
being in hotel after hotel after hotel, said let's go,
(27:57):
let's go have some fun. I am done with this journey.
And the German Hockey League allows ten imports, so you
get ten North American guys and ten Germans on your team,
and it's it's just an awesome way to end your
kind of career. You travel around to roam is right clothes.
He only played fifty games. So a lot of players
(28:17):
at the end of their careers will go over to
the European leagues just to enjoy it and just kind
of kind of soak it all. In and that. That's
pretty much how I ended up over in Germany, and
for for ourself and my wife, it was two of
the greatest years that we ever have. We traveled all
around Europe and play some fun hockey.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
How do you say penalty box in German? Do you know?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
No? Name? My wife to a German classes she studied.
I didn't. I knew the basic ones.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Bill. Thank you so much the time, man, I really
appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Yeah, thank you, Princeton, Princeton drad that's right.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I used to I used to go to Hobie Baker
Rink and that was my job in college. I would
rip the tickets and watch watch those guys play d
want hockey. It was awesome. I loved it.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Always jealous of that. I edit through high school. So that's.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Thank you. Bill. There he is Bill Lindsay, the Florida
Panthers radio color analyst, fourteen years in the NHL. Obviously
the ninety six Panthers Eastern Conference championship team. So this
is why I'm talking about hockey. Guys are awesome. That
guy is awesome. All I want to do now is
hang out with Bill Lindsay and his buddies and get
(29:35):
a beer and like eat brats and just talk about,
like that guy. Why are hockey guys so awesome?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
It's like a unique niche sport or a club that
they're in. It's so unique compared to you know, you
got ice time at night, you get ice time in
the morning. It's the toughest sport to play.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
But they're like the nicest guys in the world. But
they play so great. And by the way, do you
watch them when they walk in, like before game, they
all look the same. They're all like six ' one
a buck ninety thin. They wear the exact same suits.
They have the beard, the facial hair. It's unbelievable they're
(30:12):
walking in. I'm like, that guy looks just like that
guy's It's like the movie with Keanu Reeves where all
those people keeping the matrix where he's fighting off all
those guys in suits. That's what all those guys looked
like flying at him.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
Boh.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
He mentioned the AHL real quick. I gotta say this,
shout out to my hometown Hershey Bears. They took down
the Calder Cup. That's the AHL Championship. The Hershey Hey
Oh there's there's Oh Polly.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
So I'm how to follow that. So if you couldn't
see this interview with Bill Lindsay, he played a long
time there. He's been part of this franchise for what
twenty five years now. When you started recapping them when
in the cup, he starts welling up. His eyes started
welling up because he's it's almost like he woke up
this morning. Were the first people to talk to him,
and it's like it's real. It's like, yeah, so it
(31:05):
reminds me you're an Eagles fan, right, Yeah? So a
couple of years ago when the Eagles won the Super
Bowl and Ron Jaworski was in studio, we did the
show I think was that Seaton, Minnesota when the Eagles
were in the Super Bowl? Is that right, Minnesota?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
We did the Monday morning. We stayed in Minnesota, and
Ron Jaworski was our first guest, the longtime Eagle. He's
mister Philadelphia. You know this, he's entrenched and intertwined with
the Eagles. Dan starts interviewing him and he's like breaking
down the game and all of a sudden dangles he goes, jows,
do you realize your Eagles won the Super Bowl last night?
He goes yeah, and he starts welling up to the
(31:40):
point where he had needed to stop because it was
almost like this is real, it's not the dream paid off.
And Ron Jawarski's similar to Bill Lindsay that he's so
much part of that franchise.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
So I have a really similar story that's crazy that
I want to tell you about when we come back
that I want. I'm gonna put you guys in a
situation where it's gonna be hard for you to imagine
how you would handle it. We'll do that and we'll
get to the play of the day when we come back.
What an awesome guest. I love it, Fritzy, you nailed it.

you know. One of the things I like about social
media is after an interview like that, hearing people say
John Stoopy, absolutely awesome interview with at LINDSEYB Hockey, At
LINDSEYB Hockey, what a dope ass dude? Can you say
(34:00):
ass on this show?
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Occasionally, But I feel like if you're calling someone that
you can't say that. But if you're saying like he's
a dope ass, dude, you can say that, right.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Or is it a kick ass play by?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah. It's like it's like if it's
in the middle of three words, I feel like it's
what we're saying right now. That is the key, all right.
So I said before we went to break that I
had a situation somewhat similar to Bill lindsay, So this
is really interesting. So I think maybe like twenty ten,
(34:35):
I started calling the state championship games on television in Pennsylvania.
Now you have to understand, it's probably five percent of
my normal rate I get to call an NFL game
or college football game. Okay, like five percent, But as
(34:55):
my wife said, you might as well do it. She's
gonna be sitting here watching it anyway because I love
it that much. Okay, So, either the second or third
year that I'm calling it, it just so happens that
my high school, for the first time ever, goes to
(35:17):
the state championship game. It's while Missing Area High School.
It's a now west of Philadelphia. It's the same hometown
as Taylor Swift, and that year we were led by
Alex Angeloni, who's now the captain starting linebacker for the
Detroit Lions. Okay, there Why Missing is in the state
championship game against Aliquippa. So Aliquippa, you guys know that's
(35:41):
Tony Dorset, Mike Ditka, ty Law, Darrell Reeves, Sean Gilbert.
I mean, you go down the line, Johnathan Balwin. They
had six Division one kids. We had one Division one
kid in Angeloni who ended up going to Florida, and
then we probably had ten Division three kids. Right, we
had that type of team. So I'm calling the game,
(36:06):
but I'm not calling it PAULI for like the Florida
Panthers radio network. I need to call it straight objective.
I need to call it objective. I'm calling it to
a statewide audience. It's not like I'm on you know,
when I do the Eagles preseason games, I'm getting paid
by the Eagles. I'm doing the broadcast on behalf of
(36:27):
the Eagles. When I was doing the state championship game,
I'm doing it on behalf of the state of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
So when Why I'm Missing has a great play or
a bad play, you have to temper your reactions.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
I have to be the exact same Pennsylvania cable network,
exact same. So then what's crazy is we won. Our
kicker made a fifty three yard kick and they won.
Why missing one and the whole game. I totally played
it straight. The whole game I played. But now I'm
(36:57):
looking down in the field and why miss I'm getting goosebumps.
I literally knew everybody in the stands. I knew them.
I knew where their dad worked, I knew where their
house was, I knew everybody. I'm on this. I'm upstairs
in the booth watching the coaches that coached me hug
(37:17):
each other. People go down in the stands and we
have to do it on camera. We have to do
it on camera, and my eyes are like moist. My
eyes are moist. It was not easy, you know. You
think about here's you know, Bill Lendsay the next day
and he's still getting a little bit of emotional about
(37:39):
it about the pro team he played for. That was
like taking it to another level for me, so that
that was a somewhat similar experience. But man, I loved
talking with Bill Lindsay. There's a couple things we still
need to get into from that game. I thought it
was interesting, didn't you guys that he said they didn't
really change anything. I thought, first, sure they change some
(38:01):
strategy or some type of how do you go from
giving up five plus goals three straight games to only
giving up one. It was pretty clear though that the
goalie played better. He had not played as well Barbowski
games four, five, and six.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Pauly, Yeah, it's again we're lay people to hockey, and
this guy's an expert. Billd Ins you were talking to,
But when you watch the game, it had a completely
different feel of some of those four, five, and six.
It's the defense. They're getting crushed, they're getting flown by,
and it just felt like, I don't know whether it's
the intensity. Definitely wasn't the strategy according to but it
felt differently.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Is that Can you make an argument that that's the
most impactful position in sports.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Where you yourself could throw a shutout and no matter
what your teammates do.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Right, Like, obviously quarterback in football is a really big deal.
You can be a pitcher in baseball, but that's only
for one game.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
And you do need your fielders unless you're throwing a
no hitter, to make plays, right.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
I'm trying to think basketball. Obviously one player could have
a huge impact, but if you have the best goalie
in the world, and he's hot. I don't know that
there's a guy. I don't know that there's a position
in sports where they're making a bigger impact seating.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
And it does feel like if you're shooting on net
in a hockey game, it's not a lot of space too.
I mean it's I feel like scoring goals in hockey
might be one of the more difficult things to do
in sports too.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
You're right, and I thought it was interesting what Jason
Demarez said yesterday. I didn't realize that it took a
while before they introduced the butterfly technique. I didn't know
that in the eighties they didn't have the butterfly technique.
The goalies didn't do that. I assume that they've always
been doing that. By the way, that would be a
good segment if we all tried to do the butterfly technique.
(39:54):
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
I'm want to save the pain now.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
For the people that don't realize that you basically kick
your skates out out wide and your knees come down
and they're parallel with the ice. They're on the ice
like your your lower legs are totally blocking the entire
bottom of the goal because you have that kind I mean,
(40:20):
how do you even do that? Is that you just
like you just like cut your hip flexer out of
your body, Like how do you what muscles are you
stretching every day to even have that chance. So here's it.
There's a couple of things I want to get into
about last night's game. There's more stuff to get to,
NBA head coaching news, NBA Draft, College World Series, but
(40:43):
we're gonna dive a little bit into Connor McDavid winning
the con smythe and I've got an interesting comparison between
hockey and soccer. You're not gonna want to miss it.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Obviously, you guys know Ross Tucker in for Dan, the
former NFL offensive lineman, a long time ago journeyman. Pretty
cool temp job in my twenties. Instead, I had an
awesome night. So like a lot of people listening or watching,
you know, I've got a wife and young kids. I
gotta be honest with you, guys. It was kind of nice.
(00:26):
After the show yesterday, I went home, I took an
awesome nap, I got up from the nap, I had
an incredible workout, and then I had an apple pecan
salad lovely, and I had some of the chocolate covered
pretzels that were gifted to me by Fritz yesterday. And
(00:47):
then I watched a straight hour of College Baseball World
Series at Tennessee, tex A, and m just in my
hotel room, bed in my underwear, nobody to bother me,
didn't have to worry about it, and then the hockey
came on. Now, I will say this about the hockey.
I don't think the game went until like eight twenty five.
(01:10):
I think they got a good twenty five minutes there
of pregame. But it was good Alana's Moris set. We
got to get into that. By the way, I only
ever bought two CDs in my whole life, and one
of them was Jagged Little Pill by Alana's Morris Set.
But I think it's rare, first of all, for an adult,
like most of the people that are listening to us
on all the Fox Sports radio affiliates or people watching
(01:33):
us on Peacock. It's kind of rare, isn't it for
an adult, you know, mid forties, to just have an
entire night like that by yourself, to do whatever you want,
whenever you want to watch it, and to have two
game clinching situations, two titles on the line, and by
(01:57):
the way, they both end up being good games. I mean, look,
I feel like in those situations a lot of times
one or both games could have been a blowout. Instead
the agg he's from Texas, A and M They rally
to come back and they almost win it. They lose
six ' five against Tennessee. Who has this awesome relief
(02:17):
pitcher who I guarantee I want to see in concert
as a country singer in like eight years. I think
his name's kirby'connell. No chance, he's not opening for Luke
Colmbs in four years. There's no If he's not playing
professional baseball, that guy is going to be a country
singer talking about when I won the balls, the first
national championship and all the ladies I got as a result.
(02:41):
By the way, he's from Johnson City, which I think
what I think in the one Morgan Wallens song, I
think he talks about no Jefferson City. Maybe I don't know,
they're all the same.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Johnson City's referenced in a wagon wheel by Darius Rucker,
and it's many other people have done wagons.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, yeah, so and then and then the huh the
hockey was just awesome. The hockey was you know, I'll
give the worldwide leader a tip of the cap. First
of all, Steve Levy, Messier and PK Suban, they're fantastic.
And then that feature they had on the guy that
(03:17):
keeps all of his white gloves. He's never actually touched
the cup. PAULI just whispered his name to me. How
do you know the guy's name?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Phil Pritchard, the keeper of the Cup. He's been in
studio before. He's had the same haircut since like eighth grade.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
It's unbelievable. His haircut is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
He's a great guy. He's been in studio. He handles
the cup. He travels around the country. He takes the
place as he's responsible for it. He has multiple pairs
of white gloves.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, he has thousands of white gloves. He wears a
new pair every time, I think, and he saves all
of them. I feel like that would be pretty valuable
memorabilia to have the white gloves from when your team
got the cup that night and then in the game.
You know, if you were not sure whether or not
(04:05):
you were gonna you were up for this, Like if
you were not sure whether you're gonna watch the entire
Stanley Cup Final Game seven. They scored two goals in
the first seven minutes. I mean the Panthers score like
five minutes in, and then two minutes later the Oilers scored,
and it was like, oh, it is on now, there's
only one more goal the whole rest of the game. However,
(04:29):
the entire game, we were one shot away from the
outcome changing it like three to one, you can like
get up to go to the bathroom. Three to one,
you can go get water. When it's two to one,
You're like, wait a minute, No, no, Like, I'm not
missing this. I've been watching this for an hour and
(04:49):
a half. I Am not gonna go refill my water
right now. I'll wait till the next commercial break, or
I'll wait till the intermission. I'm not Like, if there's
a goal that ties it at two to two, or
there's a goal that breaks the one one time, I'm
not missing that seaton.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
That's what I kind of love about scores like that.
Like in hockey, if you're down by two goals, the
game is over. You score one more and you're right
back in it, you know what I mean, all right,
we're back now. We could do this, you know. But
if you're down by two, well it's over. We can't
do anything about this. Well, wait one more, now we're
in it. You know, just the whole mindset changes.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Paul I wish I knew more about the nuance of hockey,
like what their strategy was against the Oilers, the Panther strategy,
because it felt like they were in some type of
defense where they just clogged up the goal the entire time.
I know that standard procedure and everything like that, but
every time McDavid or anyone from the Oilers got a
play towards the goal. It's like a stick would fly
up and they catch on and they never got a
(05:43):
clean look. It felt like they never the Oilers never
got a clean look at the goal.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
See now, I thought, from my very juvenile vantage point,
I thought the Panthers were the better team for the
first two periods. Maybe for period in like three quarters
it was very I mean they were holding on in
that last period. There were a bunch of chances, and
(06:08):
I know we'll get into Connor McDavid winning the cons
My Trophy, and that's actually what I'm looking forward to.

dot com slash Dan, try the Tire Decision Guide and

(06:31):
dot com the way tire buying should be. I know
we're going to get into Connor David winning the cons
My Trophy a little bit later on the show, and
there's a lot to get to there. I will just
say this, if you go back and watch some of
the highlights they showed he had I don't know, three
or four passes in the third period, second third period
(06:54):
that could have been goals. In fact, if you watch
right before the go ahead goal by Reinhardt from the Panthers,
the Oilers had a better chance to score. The puck
was like slowly going past the crease and there was
no guy there to be able to tap it in
(07:15):
for the Oilers. So I know there's a lot of
talk about McDavid not scoring last night, a lot of
talk about the cons my stuff, and we'll get into that,
but I think he played a little bit better than
people realize. That's the thing too, that's so tough about hockey.
I feel like in basketball, you can like clear out
and give the ball to Michael Jordan or give the
(07:36):
ball to Lebron and it's like, Okay, they're either going
to score or you have to clearly go double team
them and then maybe they can pass it to the
open man and John Paxon or Steve Kerr, or I'll
throw a little Craig Hodges in there, we'll make the
open jumper. Hockey doesn't really work that.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Way because the line changes. The line changes like mcdamid.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So you can't just like they. I know in the
NBA you can play now and so that's a little
bit different. But in hockey it's not like And also,
you have to get the ball past you have to
get the ball, you have to get the puck past
the blue line. It's not like they can just like
throw the ball to Connor McDavid and then run a
clear out and he can ice that one. By the way,
if they could do that, he would score about a
(08:16):
zillion goals because he's unbelievable. But you can't. I feel
like one guy as good as McDavid is, I feel
like one guy can't totally take over like they theoretically
could in the NBA, Like where Steph Curry's just making
thirty foot threes. It's like, Okay, what are you gonna
do at this point? Is that fair? Yeah? If how
(08:39):
do you have a hockey guy take over? You can't
just give him the puck and say everybody else rest
resort to clear out for McDavid.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, I'm sure this plays. They get it some, but
I think it's more so the shift changes. What does
he spend twenty two minutes on ice in the entire game,
you know, like he's got a you can't.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And they had him on a lot at the end
and he was totally gassed.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
There is maybe a minute twenty left and the announcers
even saying like they can't do a shift change right now.
Everyone's just trying to get up the ice.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
The lactic acid that had built in for those guys.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
But you know what's my one of my favorite things
the timing of pulling the goalie. Maybe it is maybe
a minute ten minute twenty left and the goaltender sitting
there and he's kind of inching out, but he can't
leave too early. They got to make sure the puck
is clear, and he just fails to the to the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's just I think it's I wonder if there's any
type of research or data as to when you pull
the goalie, Like why do they always do it like
a little over a minute. I mean, are you more
risky and you pull them like with two minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
If you're down two goals, you'll pull them even earlier.
I saw that. I think the Panthers did a couple
of games ago.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But do you think that's just like a coach's intuition?
And gut reaction. You think they have data that says
this is the optimal time to pull your goalie seating.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
They have to have some kind of data just because
just as much like I don't know the risk reward
of that right, you have to have that kind of
data where all the team on the other team has
to do is win the puck back and fire it
down the ice. And there's probably I thought we.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Were getting chance. I thought we were gonna get empty
that goal because yeah, a couple they tried a couple
of times, that one that was slowly making its way down.
You're like, dang, that's gonna go in.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, I mean I would imagine that they have that
down to an exact science or wells as close as
you can.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know, a lot of stuff to get into today,
by the way, which will be awesome. We're gonna have
Bill Lindsay, who is the Florida Panthers radio analyst. He's
gonna be first up, as are on our guest list
today from Fritzy, longtime Florida Panther. You know what I
love about Bill Lindsay, Like I was reading the bio
(10:45):
on him. Not only did he play in the NHLF
for like fifteen years, but when he was done, he
didn't played two more years in Germany. Hockey guys, can
you imagine a guy playing twelve years in the NFL
and then like for the last two years, like you know,
I'm gonna I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Play in the CFL like Yarmi yager.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That would never happen, Like hockey guys, I mean, how
much money. I'm gonna ask Bill how much money he
made in the German league his last years, or if
he just wanted to be over there for Octoberfest, or
what the deal was. We're gonna get into the Connor
McDavid winning the con smythe because there's so many interesting
things there about a losing team player winning the MVP.
(11:23):
But it's also it's not just for the Stanley Cup finals,
for the whole playoffs, so we'll get into that. The
calend of Panthers. While we're talking Panthers look like they're
getting a new stadium or a least stadium renovations, public money.
Until he's a hot topic. The Lakers introed JJ Reddick
yesterday and he was dropping f bombs. He does not care.
(11:47):
He is very clear that he does not care what
people say about him, So then let's talk about him.
If he doesn't care about what people say about him,
of course we'll get the play of the day stat
of the day. What we learned a lot to get to.
I did get a text last night from a number
that was not in my phone and it just said Elation.
(12:11):
And I was just I got text message right when
the game ended. It said Elation and I was just
about to immediately hit the delete and report as junk
because I'm like, what is this? And then a couple
seconds later, this is Mattie Rose from Calgary great talking. Yeah, yes,
(12:33):
you know I thought about all night. It was. It
was Mattie Rose, the radio host from Calgary, or as
Polly likes to say, Calgary, that joined us on yesterday's show.
I am fascinated by this element. I didn't care that much,
but I wanted Edmonton to win. I wanted it for
those people. And yet here's another guy from Alberta. You
(12:55):
would think that they want to bring the cup. Nope, Elation,
that Florida one. See.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I love that Kachuck in the post game was like
he's like, you know, just lift the Stanley Cuppy.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
He's like, oh my god, we did it.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
We won, And he says in his interview he's just like,
and you know, shout out to all my Calgary fans.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
You know I couldn't let Edmonton win. Oh he said that. Yeah,
in the like he just won.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Stanley CuPy just did it and he was like, yeah,
shout out to Calgary. You know, I wouldn't let them win.
I was like, God, this rivalry is great. I mean,
I don't he played there. I think for a bit.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Dany like forced his way, like I don't. I don't
follow hockey, you know, fact check me on this, but like,
didn't he make it clear he didn't want to play
there anymore?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I think probably.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
However, in that moment, he was like, shout out to
my day ones.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You guys have been with me and you knew I
wasn't gonna let them win.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, Kachuck was that. I started his career there. I
played six years there.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I love that Calgary shout out as well to those
of you that give us a buzz eight seven seven
to three DP show that check out our YouTube channel.

(14:47):
much stuff to get to from last night. The NBA
Draft is tomorrow night. I have not heard one person
say one thing about the NBA Draft being tomorrow night
other than and it's like the line from Major League,
who the bleep are these guys? You know, that's basically
(15:07):
what people are saying about tomorrow night's NBA Draft. We'll
probably talk more about that tomorrow, but we can at
least dive into it a little bit. It's gonna be

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Rolling along here on a Tuesday morning edition of The
Dan Patrick Show. Very excited to dive a little bit
more into this hockey, especially because hockey guys are awesome.
They were my favorite guys at Princeton other than the
football guys. I loved hanging out with the hockey guys.
We're at Prince University, and all these guys would talk
(16:39):
about was playing in the East Coast Hockey League for
five hundred bucks a week. They're like, hey, I hear
the East Coast leagues paying five hundred bucks. Hey, And
they loved it. It was It was amazing. Nobody loves
their sport like hockey guys love their sport. Really excited
to talk to the Florida Panthers radio color analyst Bill Lindsay.
Fourteen years in the end, he was on the ninety
(17:02):
six Panthers Eastern Conference championship team, played in more than
seven hundred and fifty NHL games for six different teams.
He beat me out. I only played for five teams,
including five hundred and six games with the Panthers. Bill,
it's Ross Tucker filling in for Dan to day. Really
appreciate the time. Thank you so much for coming on
(17:22):
the show. I'm a little bit surprised that you're looking
so good this morning. How late did the party go
last night? Were you part of it? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:30):
I thought I did. Rank on the ice. I was
up till about two o'clock. Get all loss, it taste
a long time, taste a little bit out of me.
So I got home here probably about two thirty three o'clock,
just enjoyed the festivities and let it sink all in
that it's been so long for myself and the journey,
and what an incredible team. I've always had a home
(17:53):
down here in South Florida, but you dreamt of winning
that Stanley Cup since you're five years old. Once you
retire as a player, the only chance that you have
is to be part of an organization, and this is
the organization that I love, and that gritty group of
guys on that ice they were able to pull off
one of the best, most pressure pack games that you
will ever see in one of the It's gonna go
(18:15):
down as an epic Stanley Cup final.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So even though you weren't on the ice bill, you
kind of feel part of it. Like you feel part
of it. It's almost like my high school team winning
the state championship. It's like you have those type of
emotions and feels about it.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Yeah, because I played for this team since the start,
when it started, and yesterday it was thirty one years
to the date of our original expansion draft when they
picked our original team. Just kind of comes full circle.
You mentioned the six different teams I've played with. Yes,
bounced around, but this was always home. I always came
back here. I fell in love with the community, fell
(18:57):
into broadcasting straight after retiring and broadcasting, and for the
last seventeen years with the team. So this is this
is my home, and that's that's why it's part of it.
And that's for the group and for myself and every
this fan base. We've had some down years, we've got
kicked around, beat up, punch to whatever you will, and
(19:17):
all of a sudden, Vinnie Viola, the ownership group, Bill Zeno,
they put it all together, got this remarkable group of
talent on the ice, and the hardest trophy personally in
my opinion, to win. With thirty two teams in the
league and such a battle of attrition, the Panthers able
to finally take it over the finish line. It's hard
to describe. Bill.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
You haven't played in a long time. I feel like,
are you getting a little bit emotional? I mean, does
it mean it means that much? He doesn't it?
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Yes, it does. And if you listen to the radio
callasts and I blew every stop sign that you should
as a color analyst, it was correct my play by
plays back. I blacked out to that at the end
of the game. I I'm totally emotion I'm totally totally emotional.
I was in tears last night. I was a puddle.
I just didn't know what to think. I have my
(20:07):
dad here and my wife. We've been taking care of
my dad, and it's been such a long, long journey
and to maybe have I would never put my hands
on that trophy again. Once it's done. As a player,
you don't have that dream. The only possibility is to
be part of an organization, uh that wins the Stanley Cup.
And it happens to be an organization that I love
(20:27):
and a tariff for so long. And yeah, the emotions
just ran completely wild.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So did you get to touch it? Did you get
to touch it yesterday?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
No? Yeah, we have some players last night. There will
there will be a time though. Then I'm gonna get
my kids here. With it, and UH talked to mister Viola,
and mister Viola came up to be our owner said
what's your ring size? Uh? After the game. So there's
there's gonna be a chance where you're gonna get to
sit down, hopefully lift this thing over our head and
have a big family pitcher. The Stanley Cup had more
(20:58):
business in the dressing map with all the players that
earned the right to touch it first, but at some point
I'm going to get my hands on it.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
That is awesome. We're talking with Bill Lindsay. He's the
Florida Panthers radio analyst who had a fourteen year career,
including over five hundred games with the Panthers, two different
stints with them. What were you thinking, Bill when it
was Panthers up three to zero. I mean, there's no
way that you thought the Oilers would win the next
(21:28):
three score and five plus goals in each. I'm just
curious about your emotions over the last ten days or so.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
So nothing happening and you're expecting to win the Stanley Cup.
You're going back to last time that the team forced
the game seven after being down three nother and you
got to go back to nineteen forty five in the
Stanley Cup and last teammate time a team won nineteen
forty two. The least were World War Two. That's a
that's a long time time I go. So once it
(21:56):
got in and it swung to three to three, that
the most nervous I've been in my life. I came
home after the flight from Edmonton. My wife had lunch
and then she asked, what do you want for dinner.
I said, I can't eat. I said, I'm too nervous.
This is even before the game. Calling that game last
night was tough to sit through and just hoping goes
(22:17):
our way because there was no in between. Last night.
There was either gonna be in the total euphoria that
you could ever feel, or the ultimate gut punch and
maybe something that you can't recover from as a franchise
after what you've been through. So there was no middle
ground for the Panthers last night. If you blow that,
(22:39):
you're going down in historically one of the greatest collapses
of all time. That's where the nerves came from. So
you wanted to feel that before you yes to avoid
that collapse. I've never had nerves like that. I had
to go back to Game seven of the Eastern Conference
Final against the Penguins in ninety six when we deep Pittsburgh.
(23:00):
That was the first time that I had nerves going
through my body like that since I played in a
game seven many moons ago.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Man, that is awesome. So I guess I'm curious Bill,
not knowing as much about the strategy. What did the
Panthers change last night? Because obviously the Oilers had just
scored at least five goals in three straight games. McDavid
was just tearing them up, looking like a video game.
But then last night, for the most part, they slowed
him down. They slowed down the Oilers. Did they change
(23:31):
something tactically strategically that you could explain.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Nope, they know the systems. They just blewler systems. In
the last few games, the energy flat footed. They were
given up too many opportunities. The best thing about a
game seven is you first you really forget about the
first six games. It's a clean slate, it's a super Bowl,
it's a National championship, it's winner take all. Your whole
(23:56):
mindset and mentality changes. And last night for the Panthers,
you could go up and down the lineup with all
eighteen skaters that were on the ice, including the goaltender,
you could point to every one of them and said
they played the game of their lives. They produced under
pressure and it was just go and when they're when
they're like that and they're they're one of the toughest
(24:18):
teams to play against. There that's yours lead to during
the regular season, the best defensive team in the NHL.
Throughout these playoffs, they shut the Stars down, They shut
everyone down. So it's one one, you get that two
to one lead, and they just were blocking shots, the commitment,
everything that you need to do. They got back to
their identity, their DNA, and that is through that hard
(24:41):
work that they put through. They didn't change a lot.
It was just more of being able to handle the
pressure and play your best game when it mattered most
and doing what made you successful throughout the course of
that these playoffs. McDavid nothing dry, sidled nothing, cut the
big boys off the boards and Sergey Vibroski, your goal
tender was dynamite and that's how you win a Stanley
(25:02):
Cup Championship.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
What do you think about McDavid winning the con smythe
Obviously that doesn't happen almost ever in some of the
other major sports right where the losing team their player
is the MVP. And I know it's not just the
Stanley Cup final, it's throughout the postseason. Do you think
he deserved it and your thoughts on him getting it over?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Maybe Barbrowski good for McDavid, Yes, he did. What a
playoffs Thomas Smythe has said the player is most valuable
to his team throughout the course of the playoffs forty
two points. The only names ahead of them on that
list Wayne Gretsky, Mario Lemiue. That's that's pretty elite company.
Great to have him on the stage for hockey, that's
(25:47):
we needed superstars. When Michael Jordan's in the final, when
Tom Brady's playing in a super Bowl, people watch, people
are excited for it. To have Conor McDavid here and
do the things that he did for the Boilers, to
see his world talents. He belongs in another league. Unfortunately
there's no other leag that's how good he is. You
(26:10):
watch the times and it's like a player when you
watch Phebe hockey and you just point on the ice
and said, that can on that ice is so much
better than everyone else. Well, that's Conor mc david for
a lot in the majority of these playoffs. It was
a heroic effort by him. It comes up short at
the end, but kudos have him and what he did
for the Edmonton Oilers. He deserved the trophy.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
All right, last question, Bill has nothing to do with
last night. I'm just fascinated by this dynamic. You played
fourteen years in the NHL, seven hundred and fifty games,
and then when you were done, you went to Germany
to play for two years. Did I read that right?
What is the logic there? You just love the sport
(26:54):
that much you need to make some extra dough like
that would never ever happen with an NFL play here.
They wouldn't never play that many years in the NFL.
But you know what you're gonna do. I'm gonna go
play in a lesser league for less money. Like you
gotta walk me through that decision.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I'm fascinated by it.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
So I've been at the end of my career. I've
played the fourteen years in the NHL, I got sent
down for the Miners for the first time, and at
this point the six teams I was bouncing from team
to team down to the American Hockey League, which is
the Miners. We have the full walkout year four oh
five where we missed the whole season. I go try
out for Columbus. They send me down to Syracuse their
farm system. Looking like the dream is maybe over. And
(27:36):
my wife and my got a friend, a really good
friend called me from Germany and said, we got a
good league over here. They're gonna pay you some pretty
good money, cor apartment, everything. It's gonna be fun. You're
gonna get to play twenty minutes tonight. You want to
come over and play with me and my wife after
being in hotel after hotel after hotel, said let's go,
(27:57):
let's go have some fun. I am done with this journey.
And the German Hockey League allows ten imports, so you
get ten North American guys and ten Germans on your team,
and it's it's just an awesome way to end your
kind of career. You travel around to roam is right clothes.
He only played fifty games. So a lot of players
(28:17):
at the end of their careers will go over to
the European leagues just to enjoy it and just kind
of kind of soak it all. In and that. That's
pretty much how I ended up over in Germany, and
for for ourself and my wife, it was two of
the greatest years that we ever have. We traveled all
around Europe and play some fun hockey.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
How do you say penalty box in German? Do you know?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
No? Name? My wife to a German classes she studied.
I didn't. I knew the basic ones.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Bill. Thank you so much the time, man, I really
appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Yeah, thank you, Princeton, Princeton drad that's right.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I used to I used to go to Hobie Baker
Rink and that was my job in college. I would
rip the tickets and watch watch those guys play d
want hockey. It was awesome. I loved it.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Always jealous of that. I edit through high school. So that's.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Thank you. Bill. There he is Bill Lindsay, the Florida
Panthers radio color analyst, fourteen years in the NHL. Obviously
the ninety six Panthers Eastern Conference championship team. So this
is why I'm talking about hockey. Guys are awesome. That
guy is awesome. All I want to do now is
hang out with Bill Lindsay and his buddies and get
(29:35):
a beer and like eat brats and just talk about,
like that guy. Why are hockey guys so awesome?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
It's like a unique niche sport or a club that
they're in. It's so unique compared to you know, you
got ice time at night, you get ice time in
the morning. It's the toughest sport to play.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
But they're like the nicest guys in the world. But
they play so great. And by the way, do you
watch them when they walk in, like before game, they
all look the same. They're all like six ' one
a buck ninety thin. They wear the exact same suits.
They have the beard, the facial hair. It's unbelievable they're
(30:12):
walking in. I'm like, that guy looks just like that
guy's It's like the movie with Keanu Reeves where all
those people keeping the matrix where he's fighting off all
those guys in suits. That's what all those guys looked
like flying at him.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
Boh.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
He mentioned the AHL real quick. I gotta say this,
shout out to my hometown Hershey Bears. They took down
the Calder Cup. That's the AHL Championship. The Hershey Hey
Oh there's there's Oh Polly.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
So I'm how to follow that. So if you couldn't
see this interview with Bill Lindsay, he played a long
time there. He's been part of this franchise for what
twenty five years now. When you started recapping them when
in the cup, he starts welling up. His eyes started
welling up because he's it's almost like he woke up
this morning. Were the first people to talk to him,
and it's like it's real. It's like, yeah, so it
(31:05):
reminds me you're an Eagles fan, right, Yeah? So a
couple of years ago when the Eagles won the Super
Bowl and Ron Jaworski was in studio, we did the
show I think was that Seaton, Minnesota when the Eagles
were in the Super Bowl? Is that right, Minnesota?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
We did the Monday morning. We stayed in Minnesota, and
Ron Jaworski was our first guest, the longtime Eagle. He's
mister Philadelphia. You know this, he's entrenched and intertwined with
the Eagles. Dan starts interviewing him and he's like breaking
down the game and all of a sudden dangles he goes, jows,
do you realize your Eagles won the Super Bowl last night?
He goes yeah, and he starts welling up to the
(31:40):
point where he had needed to stop because it was
almost like this is real, it's not the dream paid off.
And Ron Jawarski's similar to Bill Lindsay that he's so
much part of that franchise.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
So I have a really similar story that's crazy that
I want to tell you about when we come back
that I want. I'm gonna put you guys in a
situation where it's gonna be hard for you to imagine
how you would handle it. We'll do that and we'll
get to the play of the day when we come back.
What an awesome guest. I love it, Fritzy, you nailed it.
(32:12):

you know. One of the things I like about social
media is after an interview like that, hearing people say
John Stoopy, absolutely awesome interview with at LINDSEYB Hockey, At
LINDSEYB Hockey, what a dope ass dude? Can you say
(34:00):
ass on this show?
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Occasionally, But I feel like if you're calling someone that
you can't say that. But if you're saying like he's
a dope ass, dude, you can say that, right.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Or is it a kick ass play by?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah. It's like it's like if it's
in the middle of three words, I feel like it's
what we're saying right now. That is the key, all right.
So I said before we went to break that I
had a situation somewhat similar to Bill lindsay, So this
is really interesting. So I think maybe like twenty ten,
(34:35):
I started calling the state championship games on television in Pennsylvania.
Now you have to understand, it's probably five percent of
my normal rate I get to call an NFL game
or college football game. Okay, like five percent, But as
(34:55):
my wife said, you might as well do it. She's
gonna be sitting here watching it anyway because I love
it that much. Okay, So, either the second or third
year that I'm calling it, it just so happens that
my high school, for the first time ever, goes to
(35:17):
the state championship game. It's while Missing Area High School.
It's a now west of Philadelphia. It's the same hometown
as Taylor Swift, and that year we were led by
Alex Angeloni, who's now the captain starting linebacker for the
Detroit Lions. Okay, there Why Missing is in the state
championship game against Aliquippa. So Aliquippa, you guys know that's
(35:41):
Tony Dorset, Mike Ditka, ty Law, Darrell Reeves, Sean Gilbert.
I mean, you go down the line, Johnathan Balwin. They
had six Division one kids. We had one Division one
kid in Angeloni who ended up going to Florida, and
then we probably had ten Division three kids. Right, we
had that type of team. So I'm calling the game,
(36:06):
but I'm not calling it PAULI for like the Florida
Panthers radio network. I need to call it straight objective.
I need to call it objective. I'm calling it to
a statewide audience. It's not like I'm on you know,
when I do the Eagles preseason games, I'm getting paid
by the Eagles. I'm doing the broadcast on behalf of
(36:27):
the Eagles. When I was doing the state championship game,
I'm doing it on behalf of the state of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
So when Why I'm Missing has a great play or
a bad play, you have to temper your reactions.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
I have to be the exact same Pennsylvania cable network,
exact same. So then what's crazy is we won. Our
kicker made a fifty three yard kick and they won.
Why missing one and the whole game. I totally played
it straight. The whole game I played. But now I'm
(36:57):
looking down in the field and why miss I'm getting goosebumps.
I literally knew everybody in the stands. I knew them.
I knew where their dad worked, I knew where their
house was, I knew everybody. I'm on this. I'm upstairs
in the booth watching the coaches that coached me hug
(37:17):
each other. People go down in the stands and we
have to do it on camera. We have to do
it on camera, and my eyes are like moist. My
eyes are moist. It was not easy, you know. You
think about here's you know, Bill Lendsay the next day
and he's still getting a little bit of emotional about
(37:39):
it about the pro team he played for. That was
like taking it to another level for me, so that
that was a somewhat similar experience. But man, I loved
talking with Bill Lindsay. There's a couple things we still
need to get into from that game. I thought it
was interesting, didn't you guys that he said they didn't
really change anything. I thought, first, sure they change some
(38:01):
strategy or some type of how do you go from
giving up five plus goals three straight games to only
giving up one. It was pretty clear though that the
goalie played better. He had not played as well Barbowski
games four, five, and six.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Pauly, Yeah, it's again we're lay people to hockey, and
this guy's an expert. Billd Ins you were talking to,
But when you watch the game, it had a completely
different feel of some of those four, five, and six.
It's the defense. They're getting crushed, they're getting flown by,
and it just felt like, I don't know whether it's
the intensity. Definitely wasn't the strategy according to but it
felt differently.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Is that Can you make an argument that that's the
most impactful position in sports.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Where you yourself could throw a shutout and no matter
what your teammates do.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Right, Like, obviously quarterback in football is a really big deal.
You can be a pitcher in baseball, but that's only
for one game.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
And you do need your fielders unless you're throwing a
no hitter, to make plays, right.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
I'm trying to think basketball. Obviously one player could have
a huge impact, but if you have the best goalie
in the world, and he's hot. I don't know that
there's a guy. I don't know that there's a position
in sports where they're making a bigger impact seating.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
And it does feel like if you're shooting on net
in a hockey game, it's not a lot of space too.
I mean it's I feel like scoring goals in hockey
might be one of the more difficult things to do
in sports too.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
You're right, and I thought it was interesting what Jason
Demarez said yesterday. I didn't realize that it took a
while before they introduced the butterfly technique. I didn't know
that in the eighties they didn't have the butterfly technique.
The goalies didn't do that. I assume that they've always
been doing that. By the way, that would be a
good segment if we all tried to do the butterfly technique.
(39:54):
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
I'm want to save the pain now.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
For the people that don't realize that you basically kick
your skates out out wide and your knees come down
and they're parallel with the ice. They're on the ice
like your your lower legs are totally blocking the entire
bottom of the goal because you have that kind I mean,
(40:20):
how do you even do that? Is that you just
like you just like cut your hip flexer out of
your body, Like how do you what muscles are you
stretching every day to even have that chance. So here's it.
There's a couple of things I want to get into
about last night's game. There's more stuff to get to,
NBA head coaching news, NBA Draft, College World Series, but
(40:43):
we're gonna dive a little bit into Connor McDavid winning
the con smythe and I've got an interesting comparison between
hockey and soccer. You're not gonna want to miss it.
