Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Wednesday. It was out there with
the Dan Ats. We're talking strategizing for celebrity family feud
that will be next week at this time, will fly
to Atlanta and then the show will tape on Friday.
And I'm trying to strategize on who's going to be
the main guy in the money round there? And I said,

(00:26):
Paulie would be great. Paul it feels like you don't
think you're up for the moment there.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I usually don't lack confidence in certain situations. I don't
know that family feud or wheel of fortune is in
my wheelhouse trivia.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
I feel very.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Confident, Okay, but I'm I think I'm solid and tight situations.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Okay, Okay. Who would you recommend we have in the
money round there? Okay?

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I'm curious that the producers are gonna make you be
in the money round?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
They want the star, so it's going to be me
v Eisen, Yes, and then the next person would be
one of us and the eyes.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Nuts m h. Okay, Todd, can you handle the pressure
of being the guy in the money round?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
My answer to that would be I'd like to think
that I can, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
But the other thing is, alway, I don't want to
hear I think I can. I know I can't, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
But the other concern is are we jinxing ourselves because
you have to win to get to the bonus round.
Look at we're already, We're already getting way ahead of ourselves.
They don't let both teams play for a big money.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Wait, wait, you have doubt about us.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
I foresee us winning, but I just don't want to
jinx it by saying automatically that we're playing for the
big money in which two we're gonna go.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
We have to win for us to get to that point.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I am packing champagne on the party bus to go
to the Sports I like that, Okay, So when we
come back from the Sports Emmys, we'll be drinking champagne.
I'm preparing to win.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Todd, That's a fantastic attitude.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's like in the movie Hoosiers, Jimmy chitt would said,
all make it. That's what I need out of you.
He didn't say I think I can make it. I'll
try to make it. I like to think I'll make
this shot.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yes, when the vicinity of making it.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yes, you know, maybe I'll get fouled and I can
go the free throw. He didn't say any of that.
That's what I need out of you, the confidence. Okay,
but you don't, you're not exuding.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
I'm going to change my answer. I want it. I
want the ball. I want to guess those clues.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Marvin, what about you?

Speaker 6 (02:24):
I'm always ready.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Your mom and your grandmother, my mom and my aunt
and your aunt are going to be in the studio audience,
correct Oka as soon.

Speaker 6 (02:33):
As they hurt. Marvin, I heard you're going to be
a filming feud. Oh we got tickets.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
It's weird.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Oh we're going to go to you know, we're gonna
go to Atlanta. I was like, oh, people were free
time at disposable income the worst.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, but do you want to be up there with
your mom and your aunt there under the spotlight where
Steve Harvey is asking you questions? Yeah? I think so, No, no, no.
It took you a little while, and then you then
you said I think so, Seeton, how about you? Yeah, sure,

(03:11):
why not? I'll give it a shot. All right, what's
the worst's gonna happen? I'm gonna get it wrong. Oh well,
big deal, and then people make fun of you the
rest of your life. You'll be a meme.

Speaker 7 (03:20):
Yeah, spent twenty years building exactly that, your brand, your brand,
All of a sudden, I'm gonna humiliate myself on TV.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh no, yeah, got a whole real worth of that.
Yeah yeah, no, yes, Todd.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
That could be one of those things where it names
something you wanted to be growing up, and a thousand
out of a thousand times you'd say astronaut, ballplayer, and
in that moment you say clinical.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Psychologist or something crazy like that, you get zero.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
When you know you could have said as a baseball player,
because I got forty six or something.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I would like to have you be our main guy, Todd,
I would because it's either gonna be really good or
really bad.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
Primary care physician, a baseball player, actual player fifty one.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
The first pop answer fifty one said baseball player?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
What do you want to be when you grow up? God?

Speaker 4 (04:12):
What's the petist or the pets?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
No, it's even worse than that. Interest What are even
worse than that?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
A saying pass I can't say anything to that past
next work.

Speaker 7 (04:22):
There are times that somebody like this just happened recently.
Somebody said like, hey, so what have you been listening
to lately? Yeah, I couldn't. If you said, I'll give
you a million dollars to name one current band that
you like, I couldn't do it. It's just my mind
completely empty.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
And I was like, ah, obviously I'm listening to Dolce
uh Nervana. I had no idea. I couldn't tell you one.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, yes, I'm I'm hearing. You have to present your
starting lineup before we head down there, like the actual
lineup of You're in first on our little dais there?
Then two, three, four, five, like a four by one
you have to pick.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I'll be in the number ones. I'll be in the
lead off spot, right, Yes, you have to Okay, I
have to be in the lead of spot. And then
who do I want going second? Because really who goes
second may set the tone for third, fourth, and fifth,
or you need a closer? How does it work? Okay?

(05:22):
Really this is all about where I place Fritzy. I
think that's really what this is all about. Because you'll
get to the end and then you're really kind of
stretching for answers because we've already taken the good answers,
and then I just I don't know, yes, Marv.

Speaker 6 (05:39):
But with Steve Harvey asked one of those questions, we
asked one hundred married women. My husband has a big blank,
and the first person is going to be fritzy imagination.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Okay, let's do that. We asked one hundred married women,
and we asked them, my husband has a big blank.

Twenty nine points, second best answer Garlic third place ninth
nine points, Cape seven points, fangs four points. The number

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Give me what if, I said, Robert Pattinson, I think
they would let that in? Would I get in under
the twilight? They're pretty loose there, Okay. Kristin Stewart, Okay,
you got to train your mind here. You got to
be ready for this. Can't say pass, Todd, you cannot

(07:17):
say yes.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Here's a sports one name something you might see in
a commercial during a baseball game. Marvin Levitra, He's not wrong, Okay, Todd, Beer.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
See crap. That was my answer, car insurance, truck crap,
truck commercial.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Okay, car or truck twenty eight points, number one answer,

that medication. Marvin's six points, beer, four points, baseball equipment
Jerseys twenty six points, ticket brokers twenty five points.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Got crazy right, lost jokes.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
See Allen, would you like one more?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
That's kind of racing.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, okay, because this is what Steve Harvey loves, is
what they did, and they He looks right into the
camera as somebody gives a racy answer.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Tell me a word that rhymes with election. Rhymes with election?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Todd, selection, Seaton, direction, Marvin perfection, erection. Someone has to
say yes.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Selection was number one, pick erection number two, ding ding
ding ding, selection did not make it. Detection, projection, rejection,
collection and section.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Palk Off Man, This this is gonna be a lot
of pressure, a lot of pressure.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
I need Dan, I need Rich, come on, let's play.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
A few NIXX at the Celtics tonight. Is that you're
Steve Harvey ipersonating.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
That's not a good one. That's how it's going to start.
He'll bring you both up. You guys are in the
number one position.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Give me and give me Rich. Let's go go put
a few down out.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Nicks at the Celtics Game two, Nuggets at the Thunder
game two. I got some stants here. We've been focusing
a lot on the Celtics going fifteen for sixty from
three point range. If I do the math, man, I'm
not very good at math. The Minnesota Timberwills win five
of twenty nine from three point range last night and

(09:30):
lost to Golden Stick. If I combine that with the
game against the Lakers their last game, where they went
seven of forty seven, So now that's twelve out of
sixty seventy six in their last two games, Minnesota twelve
of seventy six from three point range. That is disturbing.

(09:53):
Oh yeah. Stat of the Day brought you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of this program. A couple of
phone calls here, we'll talk some hockey with p k
subin from the mothership. He'll join us coming up. I

(10:14):
know it's being labeled a blockbuster. It's not a blockbuster trade.
But you know ESPN Jones and for any kind of
football news, blockbuster, Yes, they called it a blockbuster. George
Pickens goes from the Steelers to the Cowboys for at
least a third round draft pick. That's a trade. That's
not a blockbuster. It's like, not everybody in porn is

(10:37):
a porn star. There are just people in porn.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Porn character actors.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yes, this is a this was a trade, interesting trade,
but not a blockbuster.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yes, Tom, when there's a lack of NFL news, something
that's not a blockbuster suddenly becomes a big deal.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
That's just part of it.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Thank you, Tod. Let's see Damon in Massachusetts. H Damon.

Speaker 8 (11:00):
Hello Dan, second time, long time, five ten six, and
the first time I called it's actually pronounced demand Dan.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Okay, demand, Sorry, all right, thank you. No, it's okay,
it's it's it's okay, it is okay. If I can
get it is I'm just fine. It is okay, de bone,
Hopefully I can get all this.

Speaker 8 (11:27):
In number one yesterday you had the Hall of very good.
And at the end of the show you mentioned Mark
Price and I tried to call in I didn't get through.
And I one hundred agree with you. He should be
a Hall of Famer without a doubt.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (11:47):
And have you seen Celtics City yet?

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yes, I have.

Speaker 8 (11:54):
It is absolutely fantastic. As being from just outside of Boston,
I learned so much about Boston that I didn't know
it was bort in seventy six, and it was fascinating
to know that Red hourback changed their jerseys from Boston
to the Celtics because there was so much racial tension

(12:16):
and he wanted to let them know you're playing for
the Celtics, not Boston.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
All right, well, thank you, demand Yes that was Bill
Russell said, I don't play for the city of Boston.
I played for the Celtics and read our back probably
catering to that. And there's a lot there, certainly Bill
Simmons retracing kind of the racial roots of Boston, how

(12:41):
the Celtics were treated, how they were viewed, and there's
a lot of, you know, archival footage that really adds
to it. Some great interviews there and having been there
for eighty three on you know I was there covered
now from Afar, not locally, but I'm covering Larry Bird's

(13:03):
career from start to finish, and it wasn't a long career.
I think people forget that, but yeah, I was there
when they played the Rockets in the NBA Finals, and
was there when Larry retired and did a sit down
interview with him, Yes, Marvin.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
In nineteen eighty six.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
How disappointed was basically the NBA community that it wasn't
Lakers Celtics because the Rockets beat them and upset them
in the conference finals.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, Ralph hit, Samson hit that shot. I mean, you
wanted to see magic against Larry. You just it was
East Coast West Coast Celtics Lakers, longtime rivalry. But I
just remember, you know, watching I was fascinated with a
Keem elijahwa. I just thought, God, if he gets good coaching,
he is going to be unbelievable. And he proved to

(13:54):
be unbelievable. But the Rockets had a good team, you know,
and they weren't afraid of boss. And was it Robert Reid.
I think he guarded Larry and did a pretty good job.
You know. They had guys that you know, frustrate man.
Maybe that's a strong word with Larry, but you know,

(14:15):
trying to contain him because he would get going and
then it was over. Then you knew it. You knew
it right away. You know certain players where you go, oh,
he's going to be on a here, and Bird would
get on those heaters and you just go. You know,
the question is how manny I just watched the of
course I was on Facebook yesterday. I watched the Pete

(14:37):
Maravich game against the Knicks when Pete put up sixty
eight points and you had Walt Fraser. They had all
these guys guarding him now, Dean Meminger, Walt Fraser and
Butch Beard. They're all considered really good defenders, and wal
Fraser one of the great defenders. Maravich could have scored
eighty and there's no three point shot then, but you know,

(15:00):
you want to see it like an effortless sixty eight,
and that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yes, Paul, we're discussing this over here like our children.
We're considering capping your screen time. Okay, like there's a
little things we could put on your phone, cap you
it like an hour a day.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
I was probably ninety minutes yesterday on Facebook, and I
watched that a couple of Led Zeppelin videos, America's got talent,
Simon cow with the Golden Buzzer, The Voice. Watched a
few of the Voices episodes there as well.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, Paul, it's like you're catching up on all the
things from twenty and six to twelve.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, yeah, all these things I never saw before. Now
I did you know a lot of these games I'm watching,
But yeah, they'll be like this unbelievable eighth grader, he's dominating,
so keeping on him.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yes, time are getting close to meeting an intervention? Do
you have this under control of the Facebook hours?

Speaker 2 (15:55):
I don't know if I do. To be honest with you,
I don't know if I do, I'm gonna be We'll
be upfront with you.

Speaker 7 (16:01):
You know the moonlighting was faked though, Yes, yeah, a
smart video on it.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah. I think.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
The worst thing I'm gonna do, I'm gonna send you
videos of NBA players in high school, like, oh my gosh,
Michael Kidd, Gil Chris was a monster in high school.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Nice reference and I think he had a triple double
in his first game in the NBA.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Oh, that jump shot is the worst.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
It was a bad jump shot. Bad jump shot. If
you google, I think his first game was a triple double.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
I think, yes, well, I may have to put a
stop to this. We're breaking down. As much as I
love all references, we're breaking down Michael kid Gil Chris
for three minutes. Either it's awesome or dangerous.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Do not send that to me. I don't want I
don't want you to send me videos. Let me find videos, Okay,
And I've been watching a lot of Mike Tyson boxing matches,
Roberto durand uh so, yeah, so you don't want no, oh,
don't send me anything. I am good Jason Tatum versus
I had in high school. No, I've got it all

(17:06):
right there. Yes, Paul, I.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Clicked on something the other day. It was like the
making of Jaws. And now all I'm getting is clips
from movies behind the scenes making movies.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
I think it's fifty years yes, this year, this summer, Yeah,
fifty years ago.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
What the weird thing is, Remember how scared we all
were and you didn't want to go to the beach
or even in a pool for me. And then when
they say it, yeah, I was scared of even going
to pull for it. I was really devastating.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
I was. I didn't want to be anywhere near any
kind of body of water.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
But when they take the camera back, they and you
watch some of these things I'm Pauli's talking about, and
you see.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
This mechanical shark. How was I that scared over this
little toy that just they just made looking like it
was eating people? Than it was really scary?

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Back think, I prefer getting bitten by a shark then
hearing that it was this a big mechanical toy.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
No, no, I got it. I know it wasn't an
actual shark. It was hard actually eaten. During the making room,
I thought Paulie was doing the Jaws bit.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Did I tried to poorly try to up on that.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
How about we take a break here, Okay, ek Supbaum's
coming up there, Yes he is. We'll talk some hockey.
He's a tough guy.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Now, Sharks are one of the hockey teams in the
National Hockey You got to bring it all together with Jaws,
all right?

Speaker 9 (18:13):
Got that?

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Currently in the playoffs, how about we take a break here. Okay,
we're back after this.

It's the Hurricanes, Oilers, stars all closely bunched there with
the Panthers and the Maple Leafs. PK Subin. He's ESPN
analyst and former defenseman thirteen years in the NHL Second
round action on the Mothership doubleheader at seven Eastern Panthers, Leafs,
then nine thirty Stars against the Jets, and you can

(20:11):
catch PK tonight pregame coverage on the Point at six
on ESPN two, ESPN Plus and in studio in between
periods there. Great to have you on, PK. What kind
of mood do you think Toronto is going to be
in tonight when they face Florida.

Speaker 9 (20:31):
Well, they'd have to be in a pretty good mood.
You know, you're up one nothing at home still in
the home, playing in your building again, and you know
that you maybe didn't play your best game in game one.
I think they had a great start but maybe not
the best finish. So coming into game two they should
feel pretty good about where they're at and plan them

(20:51):
full sixty minutes.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
But you had an incident where you know, your goalie
takes an elbow to the head, he's throwing up. They
take him like you guys, you know, police your own sport. Here,
How does Toronto stay in the game an important game
while you still send the message to maybe the most
physical team in the NHL.

Speaker 9 (21:13):
One hundred percent. And I think that the best way
to send that message is in between the whistles and
shift by shift. This is gonna be a long series.
There's gonna be ups and downs. As a player, for
the most part, leave the media and all the quotes
and all that stuff to the fans. As a player,
you got to stay focused on what you need to
do on the ice. And let's be honest here, nobody

(21:36):
knows that the symptoms that you know, Anthony Stolars was
that we all witnessed on the bench were from that hit.
I think a lot of people believe that maybe it
was from something else, maybe a sickness or from the
prior shot do But that all being said, no one
should be speculating on what the injury injury statuses of
Anthony Stollars and Meg no doubt about it based on

(21:58):
the incident outside decreased or just inside decrease. Rather, this
was not a significant enough play for this to be anything.
This is just playoff hockey and both coaches are doing
what they need to do to maintain the edge.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Explain to me we talk about goalies standing on their
heads like they're gonna stop everything, but why is it
in that moment we have at least one goalie every
every playoff, a Stanley Cup final where you go, I'll
be damned like he's winning a series, winning a Stanley
Cup championship.

Speaker 9 (22:31):
Yeah for sure. And I feel like it's Goaltending has
become more and more important every year, and it's always
been important, you know, playing hockey, it's the ultimate team sport,
but we have an individual position that can really dictate
whether you are a competitive team, a contending team, or
you're not even calls. And without a good goaltender, you're
probably not getting too far in the regular season, let

(22:53):
alone the playoffs. So when it comes to playoff times,
we're seeing the best goaltenders, you know, on the most
competitive teams going at it, and you know, we're seeing
that every night. Now, what we're also seeing is a
lot of contact in the crease. A lot of that
is due because players are doing whatever they can to
disrupt any you know, any groove that the goaltender might

(23:15):
be in, any rhythm that he might be in. You
want to disrupt that by flash screens and getting physical
in the crease. Well, sometimes that boils over. You know,
Sam Bennett's going into the crease. Yeah, I know, he
says Anthony Stolars his buddy, but he's going in there.
You know if he makes contact, I mean, no one's
upset about that. And let's be real, if you hurt
the number one goaltender, you know, if a third or

(23:37):
fourth line guy runs and this is something that we
got to talk about, a Hankyu is all it takes
is one player to say, you know what, I'm going
to go in there, and you know, whatever happens happens.
But you know, you lose that player for a couple
of games. That's one thing, but losing a number one
goaltender for the playoffs is another and you know I've
been on that side right when we lost Kerry Price
against the Rangers in the conference final. That was the

(23:58):
end of our run. So they're trying to protect the
goaltenders the best that they can. But that play on
the crease wasn't wasn't anything The gockcat wasn't anything too crazy.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
What's it like to fight somebody and then he turns
out to be your teammate at some point in your career.

Speaker 9 (24:16):
Spends a lot in hockey. This is what makes our
sports so special. And you know, Brian Birt says the
hockey fraternity is the best fraternity in all of sports,
and I believe them, But it starts for that simple reason.
We're the only sport where you can fight a guy
and the next day literally be sitting at the bar
having a beer with them after playing a full sixty
minutes and fighting next to him. Right, So we're the

(24:38):
only sport that does that. It's about honor, It's all
about your teammates and team first and the willingness to
do anything for the team. That's that's what fighting really
is in hockey.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
When do you start fighting in hockey at what age
are is it acceptable?

Speaker 9 (24:56):
Well, I mean oftentimes now because we're in the world
social media, I get all these reels and these tweets
at me every day of like these little nine year
old kids having brawls on the eye some different parts. Like,
you know, this just happens in hockey. It happens all
the times, happens in all sports. But it's funny to
me when I see the little kids doing it in hockey,
you know, because they're watching everything on TV. But you know,

(25:18):
I'll keep it real. People talk about our sport over
at the time, they don't talk about the respect in it.
There's a lot of respect in it, and they talk
about it a little bit, but you know, not to
the degree that they probably should. And the level of
respect in the game of hockey is I think it's
unmatched in any other sport because of the physicality and

(25:39):
the danger in our sport. And when you talk about fighting,
there's such a respect in regards to fighting that if
you do it the wrong way, you know you're gonna
have everybody, including your teammates, not happy with you. So
you know, that's the respect that's fighting. Uh, sort of
Garners when you drop the gloves. We all know it's
something that you have to be willing to do, and

(25:59):
not everybody is willing to do it. So I think
for kids, it's not in the forefront for them. You know,
we stress skill and allent because you got to entertain
at the end of the day. This is sports entertainment.
So the fighting part, you know, is a part of
the game, but the entertainment goes way up right. The
entertainment though, has to meet the skill as well. So
we got to have a balance of both, and I

(26:19):
think we have that in the league. But fighting for
me doesn't really start. Doesn't really start until the kids
are about fourteen or fifteen, usually once you get to junior.
And even then it's like a choice. If you don't
want to fight, you don't have to.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Pk Suban of the Mothership ESPN Analyst and second round
playoff action coming up tonight. It's a doubleheader. It's the
Maple Leaves Panthers and then it'll be the Down the
Stars Winnipeg Jets. Playoff scoring is up again. I think
this is I think this might be the fifth consecutive
year playoff scoring is going up. Why is that.

Speaker 9 (26:55):
I think it's the sty style of play, the way
teams are built. Obviously, it's the way the game is
policed as well with officiating. You can't hook in hold anymore.
You can't clutch and grab, you can't cross check, you
can't do all those things as a defenseman, you know,
to impede players. You know, guys are also coming into
the league way more skilled. When I came into the league,

(27:17):
you knew that their third and fourth line probably weren't
scoring any goals. They could run around and hit. But
now you've got goal scorers and multi multi point guys
on the third and fourth line. I was just talking
about this last night about Edmonton with you know, Corey
Perry scoring that beautiful goal in that passing play with McDavid.
But Corey Perry was a fifty goal scorer in the OHL,

(27:40):
like Cory Perry was a hundred point guy. And uh,
Corey Perry is a former ending p a Stanley Cup
Chiven playing on the fourth line and up and down
their lineup. You know, and when you look at the
Detroit rud Wings back in the day, Kirk Malty, you know,
Darren McCarty party, uh, you know, excuse me, I'm missing

(28:01):
another name here, but you know they had Danny Cleary.
They had a bunch of guys that played those roles
of third and fourth line roles when they got to
the NHL. But we're skill players in junior hockey. So
I think there's a lot of more talent in the league,
a lot more skill. You know, there's way more parody
in the game, which challenges teams. I think the star

(28:23):
players have to do a lot more every night, which
is more difficult to do so, and there's more teams now,
so you have more skilled players. So I think there's
no off nights now. You could circle your you know, calendar,
and for the games that were point nights, even in
the playoffs, you knew that you were playing against teams
that we're gonna give up a lot. Now it's just
difficult to do that. You got to play discipline game,

(28:45):
and you got to have skilled players that can check
both sides of the pupkin. I think we're seeing the
game and probably a ties point in a long time.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
I'll let you start your team with Sid Crosby or
Alex Ovechkin.

Speaker 9 (28:58):
Sydney Crosby. First of all, I'll always take a Canadian
player over any cutchy Canadian. This is our sport, folks.
I know, I worked for ESPN in America, but hockey
is our sport, so I'm always going to go with
the Canadian. But you know, I'll say this about both
Sydney Crosby and Alex Novechkan. I mean, how lucky was

(29:19):
the NHL to have two ambassadors like that over the
past two decades, you know, And we're hoping to have
him around a lot longer too. Neither of them are
slowing down and you can see the age, but the
performance hasn't really dropped that much, and there's such They're
premier athletes, premier professionals, and most of all premier people

(29:41):
the way they've represented the games. So to have either
or of those guys would be a huge win. They're
both champions, like I said, great ambassadors, great teammates. But
I'm going with Sydney Crosby. To me, he's the best
all around player in my generation. He's a winner, he's
a champion, and once again, he's got that Canadian in
maple syrup running through his vase. That's the X factor.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Den uh Utah has their nickname.

Speaker 9 (30:07):
Is it the Mammoth?

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Did I see that? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (30:09):
The Mammoth? Yeah, Okay, what do you think of that?

Speaker 2 (30:14):
I kind of like the Utah Hockey Club.

Speaker 9 (30:18):
You like the Utah Hockey Club. You don't need too.
I did like it. I did like it just playing.
It was starting to grow on me, especially towards the end.
But you know, I will say to this Dan as
a fan, because I still consider myself a big sportsman.
That's why I do this now, is that I'm a
fan of sports. Is that the fan does love those logos.

(30:39):
They like having that logo, like the Chicago BLACKBOWX logo.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
To have that, that's the best logo. That's the best
logo in sports.

Speaker 9 (30:48):
It is, it is. And I think for Utah they
want the opportunity to create something, to create something iconic.
So I understand having a proper name and a proper logo.
I get that, But I share that with you, dude.
I'm the same way I love Utah Hockey Club. I
love the simplicity of it. I did.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
In basketball, you guard guys, you know, guys with guardon
Michael or Larry or Kobe, And in hockey, we don't
really kind of single out it's a one on one
match up there, it's it's like us against them. But
how often do you have those one on one moment
like you know with Ovechkin, how often did you have
a one on one where it's like, uh, you know

(31:30):
this might not end well, Oh my god.

Speaker 9 (31:34):
It's such a great question. Hockey is a sport of
one on one battles. It's all about one on one battle.
If you watch the game of hockey, it's one on
one battles all over the ice. It's a one up,
it's it's a team sport, but you have to beat
the guy across the line from you. So when we

(31:54):
line up for that base off, there's the sentiment, he's
got to be better than the sentiment. The wingers got
to be better than the wingers, and the D got
to be better than the D. And I know who's
on the other side. I know when I'm playing Eric Carlton,
Drew Dowdy, Cale mccarr, Victor had been. My job is
to do those guys. So it's individual. This is competition,
it's pro sports, so it's very much one on one

(32:17):
and that's what we want. We want our athletes to
take it on and part of my responsibility as the
next player now being on the broadcast is to bring
those battles to the forefront for the audience and people
watching to see and participate in. Because you don't have
an opportunity to hear what the players are saying on
the ice all the time, or on the court or
on the field. You don't always have the opportunity to

(32:38):
know that there's bad blood or that these players have
a history. So it's our job as the analyst and
the talent on air to paint that picture of the story.
And last night we got a good glimpse of mc
david and Jack Piper going back and forth. But in
my time it was you know, even when I came
into the league, it was more rich than that. And
I think that hockey is now starting to take ownership

(33:01):
of those one on one battles. We saw it at the
Four Nations between Brendan Hagel and Matthew Kachuck, and we
want to continue to build on those storylines, and I
think the players are buying into it and it's really
helping our game.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Is there anybody you could see that you might still
want a piece of, like just in regular life, that's.

Speaker 9 (33:23):
A great, great question. Let me see which guy would
I want a piece of, you know, and I don't
hate It's not that I hate him at all. I
love them. But I'm going to tell you why I
would want a piece of them. And I don't even
know if i'd do anything if I had a chance.
But let's just say I had a chance. It probably
be Chris Prodle, because you know, my best chance to
win the Stanley Cup with Montreal was a conference final

(33:46):
when he collided with Cary Price. So you know, I
mean every Montreal Canadians man and every player on that
team shares that same view with me. You know, Christal
maintains that it was an accident, and I believe them.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
You're at Starbucks and he's in line at Starbucks and
you see him, would you you wouldn't cross? You would not.

Speaker 9 (34:08):
No, I wouldn't cross second. No. No. And I I
feel even that throwing him into the mix like that,
But no, I wouldn't because you know, it's no one's
bigger than the game, even me. And even though that
may have been my best chance to win a Stanley Cup. Uh,
there's a lot of guys out there who dream about
winning the Stanley Cup. And there's a lot of guys

(34:30):
who have before me and didn't get a chance to
win one. So you know, I would never take I
never take myself too seriously when it comes to other people.
It's about the game. So maybe I'd throw a little loubow,
like a mesclbow to the ridge and something like that.
Maybe I hit him with one of those.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Looks like you could still play.

Speaker 9 (34:50):
Oh, I mean, uh, don't take this the wrong way.
I mean, he is my teammate and I work with him,
so I'm gonna pump his tires on air. But he
could probably on the front cover of GQ as well.
He's a good looking guy. I haven't met a woman
yet who hasn't asked me about Mark Messier and what
his whole what his whole treatment regime is, and how
he keeps his skin so nice and all that time.

(35:11):
I'm like, guys, I'm thirty five, what about me? Like
you know, black, don't crack, Come on, give me a break.
Mess has taken all my shine. But no, he he
takes He takes really really good care of himself, and
you know he's a happy guy. You know, I also
believe this as time goes on. If you're a happy person,
it shows in your energy. And you know, I love.

(35:32):
There's nothing better than I love to do at work.
It's a super Bowl if I get a laugh out
of Mess because he's got that big grin and that
big laugh, it's just fun to see him laugh. So No,
he takes good care of him. Somebody, he does look
like he can play. I went on the ice with
him in LA for that charity to raise money for
the fires, and I told him right away, like his
presence on the ice now, I know why they call

(35:53):
him moose. I know why they call him the moose
now because he's just so big and he could just
feel his present and it was pretty cool to touch
the ice with them in La.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Great to talk to you. I hope you're doing well.
Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 9 (36:08):
Thanks Dan, hope to come back on soon. Man, Thank you,

Speaker 2 (36:33):
WAP Fun Show. Today. I love when Ray Allen joins
us starts telling stories that he probably didn't even remember
or never thought about telling. And PK. Subin done a
great job as an analyst for the Mothership checked in
with the Pittsburgh Steelers as well. Don't call it a
blockbuster deal. It's just a trade right now. It's an

(36:56):
interesting trade. It's not a blockbuster like herschel Walker that's
a blockbuster trade. This wasn't a blockbuster trade. It was just, hey,
we're get him up this guy. We don't really want him,
last year of his contract. Hey, Dallas, they're desperate, they'll
take him, and uh so, George Pickens ay, Dallas cowboy.
This day in sports history, Paul, what do you have?

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Nineteen twenty The Philadelphia Phillies had game number eight in
a row postponed due to weather.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
I want that.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Nineteen eighty three, Augie Hoffman set the all time record
the Guinness Book of World Record for consecutive sit ups.
How many was it? Let's play the guests the Situps Game.
Nineteen eighty three. Augie Hoffman, how many to break the
all time sit up record in one sitting?

Speaker 2 (37:41):
One thousand, seven hundred and forty three.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Wow, that's right, No. Twenty nine fifty one sit ups?

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Okay, I hope he had some abs. Yes, hope he
had a six pound to those without him the valid
point woh two thousand and two. Allen Iverson famously talks
about actors at a press conference. Let me see Michael

(38:10):
Jordan his buzzer beater over Craig Elo nineteen eighty nine,
Game five, first round series as the Bulls beat the Cavaliers. Uh,
Terry and San Diego. Hi, Terry, what's on your mind?

Speaker 11 (38:26):
I'm just waiting because ESPN is the best at torturing
and twisting facts to match their narrative. I mean, I've
been watching melk Heiper talk about quarterbacks and knock them
down for hands are too small or just a little
bit too short or whatever. But they all seem to
be hind this Shador Sanders thing that even though he's

(38:49):
not fast, not tall, doesn't make quick decisions. Melk Heiper
and these guys are like he was a number one
pick and they are going to go down in Flames
to support this and that's why nobody drafted him, and
nobody wanted him as a backup because what's about to
happen to Cleveland. They drafted him in the fifth round
and ESPN immediately said, this guy's going to be the starter.

(39:12):
And you just see it happening. I don't I mean,
I don't know if it's collusion or what with the
Standers family. But to have melk Hyper compare him to
Tom Brady and use words like the Hall of Fame
and then and then Sanders tick number twelve for his number,
it's it's just going to be comedy watching this train
wreck about to happen on the estime.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Well, thank you, Terry. Yeah, we're going to know in
a couple of years, we're going to find out if
he can play. Do we have Tom Brady Marvin who
is he being interviewed by Jake Paul Actually it's the
other Paul Logan Logan Paul this podcast to tell him apart.
But Tom Brady was asked about not drafting should or Sanders.

Speaker 9 (39:51):
Elephant in the room should our Sanders?

Speaker 4 (39:54):
What happened Tom?

Speaker 9 (39:55):
Why?

Speaker 4 (39:55):
Why? Why did he go so late in the draft.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
And here's I it's a good question.

Speaker 12 (40:04):
I was, I wouldn't have part of any evaluation process.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Or to each otherwise.

Speaker 12 (40:09):
No, No, well everyone's got every you know, that's the
problem with media is everyone can just say whatever they want.
I actually texted Shador because I'm know him very well,
and I said, dude, like, whatever happens wherever you go,
that's your first day, day two matters more than the draft.
I was one ninety nine. Yeah, so who could speak
on it better than me? Like what that really means?

(40:30):
Use it as motivation. You're going to get your chances.
Go take advantage of it. Okay, he says, good question.
He's stolen because he got it. It was like a
standing eight count there for him.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
It's like a good question.

Speaker 7 (40:46):
Yeah, and first let me just you know the media. Yeah,
I know, I don't want to tell Logan Paul or
Jake Paul how to do their job. But why didn't
you ask Tom? Why didn't you draft him? Then that's it.
Just go why didn't you draft him? You've known him
for a long time, probably as well as anybody any

(41:07):
member of any front office staff. And you have a
quarterback who is going and he's thirty five.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
I think, does that sound right? Raiders starting quarterback starting
thirty five. Well, I'm not the one that makes that decision. Yeah, okay,
that's what I would ask, because you passed on him
seven times, So yeah, I don't know. Uh, Todd, what
did I learn today?

Speaker 5 (41:33):
Load management has officially hit the sport of horse racing.
There will be no triple Crown winner this year.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
