Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our four, ready
to go as we are in chase of the bling, bling, bling,
bling bling, as Poppy used to say back in the day.
So do you agree with the Colts player representative, actually
the NFL player rep and VP of the Players Association,
(00:23):
that eighteen games would be too many? He's responding to
Roger Goodell talking about eighteen games. Also, why is Jerry
Jones not spending the Cowboy money this offseason? The Cowboys
has spent the least money in the NFL, And Deebo
Samuel says that he has heard the noise that the
forty nine ers considered trading him this offseason, but he
(00:43):
says he's going to move past it. Do you believe him?
Do you believe him? We'll get to that and much more.
Have a wonderful, wonderful sixth day of the month of June.
Here this Thursday, at the start of the NBA Finals.
Here it is our number four, holding on tight welmeme
(01:06):
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
we are.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
In the a everywhere as we test the waters, and
we still have we have that old Hollywood glamour coast
to coast, border, the border and.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Beyond on the beast and halatiously powerful microphones of FSR
amminating live from the lock the gridlock of the radio dial.
We are broadcasting live from the Tirak dot com studios
tire raq dot com. We'll help you get there and
(01:46):
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection in
over ten thousand recommended installars. Kaligan, Tim in Michigan likes
that number. Tiraq dot com Way tire buying should be
the NBA Finals beginning tonight. Well, more on that in
a minute, But our lead this hour from the rhetoric
(02:09):
holding on tight. You want to spend money, No bueno,
No bueno. We'll get to that coming up in a
minute or two, but will begin the malord monologue here
with this. If you did not hear the commentary of
someone named Ryan Kelly, it's a rather generic name. You
probably don't know who that is. He's the offensive lineman.
(02:30):
He's the center for the Indianapolis football team. He also
happens to be the vice president of the NFL Players
Association Executive Committee, which sounds somewhat important. Sounds somewhat important,
and he recently did an interview where he said an
eighteen game schedule would be quote too many games. Too
(02:53):
many games. More evidence the players plan to resist Roger Goodell,
who has gone with his plans to expand the brand
from seventeen to eighteen games. Now, Ryan Kelly, a center
of the Coles wind fans, you don't know all the
injuries the players go through, but they don't know what
(03:16):
it takes to play on Sunday. I just think it's
too many games. Close quote Okay, So this is what
I want to talk to you about for at least
for a minute or two. The question do you agree
or disagree with the Colts offensive lineman who happens to
(03:37):
be the vice president of the NFL Players Association Executive Committee,
that eighteen games is just too many? All right? So
I've got Poet Laureate, DC comics and ductails and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make the Baba ganousch is what we're gonna make.
(03:59):
Not to leave off, we disagree with the question of
eighteen games being too many. Now, I realize we don't
play in the NFL, but we do talk about the NFL,
and we're good with an extra game. Now that aside,
all right, The point that is being made here, the
point that is being made is battle lines. It's the
(04:21):
players on one side, and you've got the owners on
the other, the hatfields and the McCoy's going at it.
Roger Goodell floated in a nice weather balloon eighteen games
on some YouTubers show. But that was strategic. That was strategic.
Right now, the NFL players are bouncing back. They said, well,
(04:41):
wait a minute here, we're gonna rebut this and said, well,
this is a Greek tragedy. You expect us to play
eighteen games to know how terrible that is? What's wrong
with you? So, to quote the great poet laureate of
our time, LeVar Ball, stay in your lane is what
(05:02):
I have to say. You are the employee. You are
the employee. This is the employee versus the employer relationship.
And here's how I relate to it. I do the
overnight show. I don't know if you know that I'm
on in the middle of the night. What if I
went into management, so you know what, you know, that's
just that's too late. I want to work the day shift,
(05:23):
and that's it. I should work the day shift, and
it's just it's not right to play, you know, to
do the show late at night. It's it's it's terrible,
all right, come on, what's wrong with you? They would
laugh at me, as they should. Or if you work
at Walmart, you don't decide what time the store closes.
That's not your decision. That's above your pay scale. That
(05:45):
you don't run the business. And listen the players. If
they don't like it, that's fine, they can battle. I
know there's a collective bargaining agreement that has to be
negotiated and all that, but ultimately, if the owners want
to play eighteen games, they'll they'll have eighteen games. And
the players, as great as you might think they are,
are fungible. It's all about the cash. NFL as an industry,
(06:09):
what they're gonna do, we know what they're gonna They're
gonna share the sugar. They'll give a little bit more
money to the players, some more flex time. The players
don't appear to want to practice at all. They hate practice,
and so let them miss practice. They'll get an extra
bye week and then we're off to the races. It's
always about the money. It's always about the money. All right. Furthermore,
we go back to Dallas. Why why not not for
(06:33):
the Mavericks No, no, no, the highest valued franchise in
American sport. The Cowboys are also the lowest spending NFL
team this offseason. Both those things are true. At the
same time as the Cowboys, Jerry Jones was all in
(06:53):
in terms of a disappearing act. Now Jerry Jones, as
he always does, talking about how great everything's going to
be for the Dallas Cowboys. But the Cowboys were the
NFL's lowest spending team by more than fifty million dead presidents.
As an illustration, Jerry Jones cut checks totaling ninety three
point four million. That's a lot of money, ninety three
(07:14):
point four million. But Dallas was the only team in
the NFL that did not reach the nine figure mark,
the only one. The Chargers with Jim Harbaugh were number
thirty at one hundred and fifty million, and the very
frugal Pittsburgh Steelers thirty first in the NFL in spending,
(07:35):
but they still spent one hundred and forty seven million dollars.
And the reason they're so low is because they value
shopped at Dollar General to get their quarterbacks. Hello, Russell Wilson, Yeah,
and Justin Fields, who's like a slash guy. It would
appear at this point, But we believe to answer the question,
(07:55):
why is Jerry Jones not spending? That's the question a
lot of people have. Why is Jerry Jones not spending
this offseason for the Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I believe that he has been reading too many DC
comics and he has decided to become the real life
version of mister Freeze. Shell shocked from the Boys getting
hemorrhoids yet again in a playoff game wild Card weekend
against the Green Bay Football team, and so Jerry channeling
mister Freeze has put his entire operation, all of his
(08:25):
star players in suspended animation while he is searching for
a way to cure the infestation of suck, the poison
that has overtaken these guys in the playoffs. So, dak
CD and Micah got a sweat a little bit now.
Either that or Jerry Jones has his eye on the
boat show. Come on down to the boat show. He
(08:48):
wants to get another one of those super yachts, those
gienormous yachts that he loves so much. All right, last stop,
last stop destination Bay Area problems for the runner up
runner up franchise in the NFL. Are they trying to
hort and swaggle one of their key players? Well, let
(09:08):
me explain. So Deebo Samuel pretty pretty good player. We'd
agree on that, right, I think you'd agree. I know
I feel that way. So Deebo Samuel says that he
did hear the forty nine ers had put his name
in trade rumors. His name was floating around as a
possibility to be shipped out of Northern California, so he
(09:30):
talked about that. Deepo Samuel said he did hear about
the forty nine ers trade rumors, but is going to
move past it. That's what he said. Do you believe him?
So I'll go first on this, and I'm gonna go
N plus zero as in no to infinity and beyond.
(09:50):
So this situation is something that I, as a gas bag,
look at and get a little excited. I get a
little tingley. And the reason I get a little tingly
is because this is setting up the groundwork for a
quagmire for the forty nine ers, and there's still time
for the Niners to trade Deebo Samuel before training camp.
(10:12):
Training camp doesn't start for another month in a few days,
so there's still time for that. However, doesn't appear that's
going to happen. And if it doesn't happen, well look around.
Deebo Samuel knows ducktails. Ducktails to rephrase that for those
of you that don't understand, he is a duck. He's
a lame duck. You look at his age, you look
(10:34):
at the contract set up, and there been rumors about
contract wrangling. This is an underlying condition. It is an
underlying condition. There are many ways that this becomes a
tinderbox and it ignites fire. For instance, if Deebo Samuel
(10:57):
is used this year less or War as a decoy
in the Niners offense, and Brandon Ayuc the other wide
receiver who's looking to get paid, if he ends up
having the duke in his hands and he gets more
passes going his way, oh that is when it all
of a sudden, the pool pits the fan, right, the
(11:19):
pool pitch the fan. So file this one away. I said, Ah,
it's not that big a dude. You're making something out
of nothing. No, I'm not. I have seen how these
things have worked out over the years. I know how
these things work out, and so file this one away.
Deebo knows, he knows his days are numbered. He knows
how this is gonna work out, and so will he
(11:42):
have the same Rasmataz, We will find out. It is
the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to be part,
you can join us here. Speakeasy rules are in effect,
but we are available for you on X as well

Speaker 1 (13:33):
I puck the world. Coming up in a couple of minutes,
we'd like to look at where the money is get
An NBA Finals game tonight in Boston, the Celtics playing
host to the Dallas Mavericks. Will Boston win? How many
times are we going to hear about the the rust
of the Celtics. Of course, if they win, that'll go away.
(13:55):
But if not, Oh, they were too rusty. They were
too rusty. That's why the Mavericks had a lot of
time off too. There's been no basketball in about seven months,
it seems so. As far as the game tonight, and
where the money is the point spread on tonight's matchup,
which is really what it's all about. Yeah, it's the points.
The Celtics opened up a six and a half point
(14:16):
favorite at home, and they are still a six and
a half point favorite. Where's the public at The public
is on the Dallas Mavericks. They love Luka and the
Mavericks to get the jump on the NBA Finals. The
vast majority of the tickets is in favor of the
(14:37):
Dallas basketball team. However, what about the sharps, what about
the professional gambles or the information that we have, it's
even a higher percentage on the Mavericks. So both the
public and the supposed professional gamblers are on Dallas tonight
plus six and a half. Remember that when you settle
(14:58):
in to watch the game, everyone's incahoots, which usually means
both people are wrong. But we'll see what happens tonight
with that NBA Finals game, and we'll take some more
of these riveting phone calls. Let's say hello to Jerome
in Charleston. Bring it home, Jerome, Hello, Jerome, Benjamin.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
To the third power. Just let me tell you, hey,
I got wanted for the uh for the for the Mavericks.
Don't expect to shoot a lot of fire shots playing
in Boston. Okay, because the ref the zebras on Notorious,
like that's all notorious could not calling fouls on the
whole team that beat the Boston Sephics. But mab questioning
(15:41):
you ben uh the conspiracy of solace about the comment
that that nor tellent drunken bum Pat McAfee made about Caitlin' cluck.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
I'm not letting this go.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Okay, I.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Would you like him to be taken in the public
square and flawed? What would you like to have happened
to him?
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Hey, wasn't the guy they putting the one office. Well,
when you're a celebrity, they let you get away. When
he didn't do anything you want, you're fy it. Yeah,
that's what I want him. I want him gone, g
O and he now, but too quick.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I got a question. Okay, you gotta beef with the
way you gotta beef with Pat McAfee.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
You got that?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Why why hold? Why are you calling me? Why do
you call him?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
You look you look like that.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
I told you your show is like fancy to me.
You're the voice of America. So I'm using you as
the voice of America to air my grievance. By the way,
there's a guy on your network. When I called him
up a couple of months ago, I said that, you know,
jelling her he's Tim Tebow with a better contract. And
you know what he said, believe I used to be
(16:56):
fanned from Talk Creative. By the way, did you see
that he performance doms Tex last season? That's a two
hundred quarterback. Huh.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I don't think he was terrible. I don't think they
fell apart. Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
I walked McAfee fired. Okay, I'm not satisfied till he's gone.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You know that that was not a fireable offense. You're wrong.
Oh yeah, it was not correct. But here's the you're
you're you're preaching to a guy who's a broadcaster. I
defended other broadcasters, that's what but I do.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
So you got you got talk shows on your never
stre on tech Palk called damn chickens.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
They're probably they're probably, they're probably smart.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Chicken and followed each other for a couple of hours. Okay,
come on, let me find you little talk your boy, that's.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
What got you, oh your iron up this morning? Jerone? Man?
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Right, I am man, all right, hey, and I got
told you. I'm a warrior. Man, I'm a warrior. I've
been a warrior since I was eighteen years old when
I joined the military. Okay, I'm right.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Right out of high school, right out. How many how
many days out of high school were you when you
joined the service?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
I was like six months out of high school because
I had to. It was like about sixty pounds.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Man.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
My mom put me on a diet. She helped me
get in and to this day I am eternally grateful
for her because she was the only person on my
side for my whole life. Like I told you, the
only woman that's ever told me they loved me was
my mom.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
No, it's a no no woman along the way, Jerome. No, really, that'ssible.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
And I've had and I've had relations.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Okay, as you're a big you're a big stud dreown,
You're a big studder own. But they know they never said,
they love you. Wow, that's you've been with the wrong
women there, man, what's up?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
You know?
Speaker 7 (18:57):
That's not nice?
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Man? Right like you? I'm not lucky like you.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
All right, Calm down, Jerome, keep your part all right, thing,
I'll hang up on you. Go away there? He is
our friend, Jerome. How many more calls before he realizes
I don't care that he wants Pat McAfee fire.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I don't think that he cares that you care.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
He just wants to complain. And okay, well he complained.
Let's go to Matt in the belly of the Beast
there in Dallas where the Mavericks on the road in Boston.
But is there a watch party you like, Matt?
Speaker 6 (19:31):
I'm mad.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
I'm mad in North Dakota. Remember I should have said that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh yeah, that would have been fine.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
I got a question in comment and I want to
take the pledge whatever order you want to do that
in Well, let's.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Get the happen the comment. We'll start with the comment.
How about that? What's the comment?
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Comment? Is? Do you okay?
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Is as far as the Mavericks and KP and why
it didn't work? Did anybody really think they were going
to win the Championship. I don't think anybody thought the
Mavericks were that good with him. I mean we were
so young back then, and KD was never healthy. KP
was never healthy. It was never going to work anyway,
which he still isn't.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I disagree my memory when Perzingis came over, they thought
it was highway robbery. The experts was like, oh my god,
you got Prezingis. You didn't really give up anything. Now
you got these this one two punch and it's going
to cause misery for the opposition, And it just never a.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
KP was coming off the injury, serious injury, and and
it turned out he never got healthy and he's still
not healthy.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Well yeah, he's never been healthy his entire career. He's
never been healthy.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
That's my point. So this leads to my question, why, uh,
I mean, what's the best way to sell the future?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
What's that the best way to sell the future?
Speaker 7 (20:49):
To tell the future?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh, you talk about young players and they're going to
be great in sports you're talking about right?
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Well no, yeah, Just how do you figure out what's
going to happen in the future. What do you base
it on?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I have a crystal ball, I'm a distant relatives, and
I have a uh yeah, a gamble show. So I
I had a game.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Show human beings for normal human beings. It's the past.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Well no, because the past, well, the past tells you
what has happened. It doesn't tell you what's going to happen.
See that's the problem with basic things off the past,
because it doesn't history. A lot of things do seem
like they repeat themselves, but they often it's not an
exact carbon copy.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
But when you look at an entire career like Porzingis,
I mean, does anybody think he's going to come back?
He's already saying he needs a few days. He's barely healthy.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
At that anybody, Oh no, I think I was going
to do a bit. I guess we're not going to
do it because we don't have time to do it.
But I was going to do a bit. Which game
will Porzingis leave with an injury in the finals because
he's not going to make it through the whole thing.
He might get hurt tonight play he played, he played
ten minutes tonight and leave with some kind of reaggravating
an injury or something like that.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Oh, if Christy's healthy, they're gonna They're gonna have to
I do.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I do know this, and you probably know this as well, Matt.
There's a lot of real estate to fill on these shows,
so sometimes you have to just, you know, fill time.
I'm not saying Stephen A. Smith did that or any
these other losers, but I'm not saying I'm not saying
they didn't do it. Yeah, but I think that I
don't think prizingis is gonna matter. Boston can win without him.
It'd be great if he played, but they can win that,
(22:25):
all right, A right, let's do the oath. You ready
for the oath.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Let's do it, all.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Right, I state your name.
Speaker 7 (22:31):

So help me, God, So.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Help me God.
Speaker 7 (23:11):

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Congratulations Matt, you have been sworn in welcome. Please follow
all of the laws of the Malain Militia again. We

my good name is Sully, Matt, you know, and it's
it's a question, all right, exactly, all right? Thank you, Matt.
(23:35):
Enjoy the final start. I hope your teams, but thank you.
All right, Matt checking in, we'll have puck the world
with Eddie and a double dose in fact of Eddie Garcia. Uh,
just so much. And before we get to Eddie, I
did want to mention horse race. Now you say, well,
why are you going to mention horse racing? I think
(23:56):
this is important and you need to know about this,
and so I thought I would I would bring this up.
Thoroughbred racing has a new independent regulator, HEISLA, remember that name,
that is implementing comprehensive reforms and the sport is combining
hands on care with cutting edge technology to help keep
his athletes safe. To learn more, visit safety runs first
dot com. That safety runs first dot Com. And now
(24:20):
we rise to attention because a man that will give
us games of note and will he mentioned the royal score?
He did mention it earlier and they got rained out
because we have beaten him down.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Well, there was no Royal score because they.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You mentioned that they didn't play any.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yes, I did. That's a that's enough to mention again.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
So all of our friends in Kansas City, in the
greater Kansas City area that have torches out and pitchforks
put them down. Eddie, is he's turning a new leaf
here when it comes to Royals baseball?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Not really. I just I said that when they play
the Guardians or any other team of note, that.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
They are a team. Note, Eddie, Royals are a team
of notes.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I would say borderline team.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Any you're giving w n b A scores out.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Of my own free will, though I've been I've not
been mandated to give Royal scores yet. Maybe that will happen.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
But would you say, Eddie, riddle me this, batman. Would
you say a team in the playoffs? Is that is
a team that has done something?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I would say if they're in the playoffs, sure, But
they're not in the playoffs yet.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Royals are the number two wild card.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Team in the America League playoffs. A lot of teams
get in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
You are It doesn't matter to me. We have a
show to do today, Eddie, and today the Royals are
a playfa We don't wait until the end of the
year to determine the Royals, whether they're a good team
or not.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Actually about you're worried about tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So I'm worried about today's show. And some people say
you're worried about Yes, did they show?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Eddy who says that.
Speaker 4 (26:04):

Oh wow, that's interesting. Why did you go to Denny's open.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Well, we were in there and that was the Denny's
down the street where the pimps and the hoes are.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah. Yeah, I used to live across the street from that.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
That is actually unbelievable. You go in there and I
mean their eggs in their bacon and all that.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Sure they like eggs and bacon as well.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
A very physical night of work.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Dy. Yeah, Well, you gotta rest up and get ready
for the next day. Oklahoma beat Texas eight to three.
I don't know if that's the Red River Softball Shootout,
but sooners now, we'll play Texas again and if they
win four straight national titles for Cris Plank and the
Oklahomas softball team.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
All right, are you ready for the fun fact, Eddie?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I've got so many NHL finals fun facts is going
to blow your mind. But go ahead, give you Ben
Malor fun fact.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
You challenge me Garcia the projected Now, we haven't even
had the twenty twenty cour MLB draft, but the projected
number one pick of the twenty twenty five MBB draft.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
You're a fraud for telling us this.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I'm not a fraud.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Prospects are suspects until board over there.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
But this is a good name.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
This is a good pick. That's Ben Mallor, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
This is the white New White Sox player. Ethan Holiday, Ethan.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Holiday another Holiday.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yes, he's the youngest of Matt Holliday's children, and he
is committed to Oklahoma State. But he is projected as
the number one pick of the twenty twenty five draft.
And if not him, Eddie, the great seth Hernandez from
beautiful Chino here in southern California. A pitcher is also
projected to go to the very top of the baseball.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I'm sure or either of those young men will that
completely turn around the Chicago White Sox, much to the
delight of Mike Harmon and h are our guys silent
to what's his name? Mark? Arky?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Mark? I hear we'll be seeing a lot of Mark
coming up. Rumors in the building, people talking whispers that
we might see a lot of Mark. You know about
pointing that out. Anyway, It is the Ben Maler Show.
And let's get right back over to Eddie right now
and we will puck thever.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Thank you, Ben.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Stanley Cup Final is set. But when we last left you,
the Eastern and Western Conference finals are tied to too.
In the East, Flada Panthers beat the New York Rangers
in games five and game six. They won game five.
I'm setting up there.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Hold on, we're doing talk radio. It's twenty kid, give
old scores, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I'm telling you the Standard Cup final.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Nobody wants to hear this Eddie.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Game.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
They won game six two to one. New York had
a two to one lead in the series and then
lost three in a row, much to the dismay of
Uncle Moe. So the final five games of the series
all decided by one goal. That means the reigning President's
Trophy winners were eliminated. And that means we have not
had a President's Trophy winner win the Stanley Cup since
(29:20):
Chicago back in twenty thirty. A second straight year the
Panthers have knocked out the President's Trophy winners. They beat
Boston in the first round last year. They beat New
York in the Conference final this year, So Florida going
back to the Stanley Cup Final for a second straight season,
a fifth straight season a team from Florida is representing
the Eastern Conference in the Stanley Cup Final. Last two
(29:42):
years Florida three years before that in a row was
the Tampa Bay Lightning. In the West, the Vonton Oilers
beat the Dallas Stars in games five and six. Oh,
there's one game five to three to one, game six
two to one. So Dallas, the number one seed in
the West, went four and six on home ice this postseason.
They were zero for fourteen on the power play, and
that decide in that citing series against the Oilers. So
Edmonton going to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time.
(30:04):
It's two thousand and six, all right, So.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Eddy, can I get a score from twenty twenty two?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Can you a score? Set the scene, Eddie?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So, Stanley Cup Final is set. Florida Panthers against the
Edmonton Oilers. First time. Please let me finish. First time
these two teams have ever met in the Stanley Cup Final.
It's the eighth trip to the final for the Oilers.
They've won it five times. Florida making their third trip
on the final. They've never won it before. As a
matter of fact, the all time record in the Stanley
Cup Final for Florida Panthers is one to eight going
(30:33):
into the series. Now the Panthers eliminated the Lightning, Bruins
and Rangers. Oilers take down the Kings, Canucks and Stars
to meet up.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Edmonton start of the year five twelve and one, but
sixty eight games since then, when they made a coaching change,
had the most points in the NHL with ninety five
in the best record forty five eighteen and five Florida
this postseason six and three at home, six and two
on the road Edmonton six and three at home six
and three on the road. Eilers special teams all been
(31:00):
amazing so far this postseason. Number one power play thirty
seven point three percent.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's my statuity. I had that the other night.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Number one penalty kill at ninety three point nine percent,
which is insane. So officiating could be huge in the
Stanley Cup Final. How they're gonna call it, how they
gonna call it? And will the Oilers get a lot
of different power play opportunities? Will Florida be able to
stay out with the Penley box? No, no, I'm saying
official could be huge in the series. So Game one
(31:27):
of the Stanley Cup Finals business knowing knotts. Game one
of the Stanley Cup Finals Saturday, a PM Eastern on ABC.
Now Stanley Cup Finals. Fun facts, Fun facts Now. We
told you earlier in the week. Longest distance between two
finals opponents two thousand, five hundred and forty miles between
Edmonton and Sunrise, Florida. We have the biggest disparity in
(31:50):
games coached by the two coaches, Florida's Paul Maurice one
forty nine NHL games coached Edmonton's Chris Knoblock sixty nine,
the last time a team from Canada won the Stanley
Cup nineteen ninety three. They are now zero to six.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Since then, before I was alive, anybody.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
The Canucks have lost twice, the Flames, Oilers, Senators, and
Canadians once since that last Cup by a Canadian team
in ninety three by the Montreal Canadians. Corey Perry is
a player for the Edmonton Oilers. This is his fifth
different team that he's played on that has made the
Stanley Cup Final for the Ducks, Stars, Lightning, Canadians and
(32:29):
now the Oilers, and every Stanley Cup final since nineteen
eighty except one has either had Yarimir Yager or one
of his teammates involved. This year it is Alexander Barkoff
of the Florida Panthers.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
A couple of isn't that like Shaquille O'Neal or something
every NBA finals going back a billion years that somebody
related to the teammate of Shaquille o.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Neil possibly sounds like it could be remember you sounds
like that?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I mean that's st Andrews.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
A couple of quick notes other than the Stanley Cup final,
Dallas Stars veteran Joe Pavelski says, not officially official, but
he's not planning on playing next season if he calls
it quits. Eighteen years in the NHL one three hundred
and thirty two games, seven hundred and sixty one points,
but he never won a Stanley Cup. Jacob Slavin wins
the Lady Being Trophy for the most gentlemanly player in
(33:18):
the IHL.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Should be the gender neutral trophy? Ed it interesting?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
And finally we have to have some sort of an
update on the Utah hockey team.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
So we still don't know the name yet.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
We don't know the name yet, but apparently we know
the colors of the team. It will be black, white
and a light blue, kind of reminiscent of the Carolina
blue for North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
There.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
So that's the colors for the Utah Hockey team apparently.
And that's your puck the World Report.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Well, I have a bonus fun fact, Eddie. Do you
want a bonus fun fact?
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Fun fact?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
All right, bonus fun fact. In the postseason NHL postseason,
there are two players that have twenty or more points
and thirty five or more hits. Now, one of them
is Vincent showcheck. Who's the other Eddie.
Speaker 3 (34:10):

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Evan Bouchard, Connor McDavid, Eddie Connor McDavid. That's a fun fact.

don't know. But we will move on, Eddie, and we
