Speaker 1 (00:34):
Welcome back Royally Quacked fans to another Royal
Edition of Royally Quacked.
Last week you had the Quackyedition and today's episode is
about making an all-time team'sKings team to take on the
all-time Ducks team they madelast week and with me today our

(00:58):
special guest, kevin SnyderYou'll remember him from the
Player Gr and Locked On Kingspodcast and NHL game night host,
eddie Garcia.
Welcome, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
So we are going to start off with each one of us
giving our team.
If anybody else doesn't want togo first, I will.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Can I complain first?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
It's not really a complaint, but just to be clear,
because I think our teams mightbe a little different based on
the idea of how we decided topick them.
So I have the text you sent meuh about, uh-oh, making an

(02:00):
all-time kings team.
I won't read it, you knowcompletely, but it's just says
four lines, three defensivelines, two goalies, any
questions?
Blah, blah, blah.
There's nothing on here thatsays anything else other than
how we should pick our team,which I think is fine because
it's our team, so we should pickit however we want.
To me, there wasn't anythingspecified as far as are these

(02:26):
guys just their kings careers,or is it anybody that ever
played for the kings?
yeah, so I think, yeah, I think,if you're picking an all-time
kings team, that it should bewhat they did while they were
with the Kings.
As an example, the problem withthat is I love Jerome McGinley.

(02:48):
If I was picking a teamall-time team of anyone who ever
played for the Kings, he wouldbe on it, but he played 19 games
for the Kings, so I think it'skind of silly to have Jerome
McGinley on an all-time LA Kingsteam.
So that's my issue with it.
But you guys pick your teamhowever you want to, but my team

(03:11):
is only based on what theseguys did while they wore an LA
Kings sweater.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Okay, I can go with that, eddie, no problem
whatsoever.
I mean, most of what I picked,except for a few, had pretty
great Kings careers.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
There will be between the three of us some obvious
selections that no one can arguewith.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Absolutely.
And the nice thing is that wecan make a team together, that
we all I mean it's going to takeall three of us to do it, so
we're going to have to come intoan agreement on that.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
So I don't have a Gingler.
Do you have them, gary?

Speaker 4 (03:50):
I did not, okay, so we don't have a Gingler, but I
got to tell you just an exampleof those.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
No, that's a great example, Eddie, and I love that
idea.
I even forgot he had played forthe Kings, but it was a very
short.
That's like why I, just to behonest, Grant Fuhrer played for
the Kings.
It was a pretty great goal.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah, he was great, but he wasn't good for the Kings
.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
He's not on my team.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Thank God, because I'm not going to argue too much
about things, but if GrantFuhrer was on your team, I would
have to argue about that.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I mean he was a great goalie.
I mean he's in my notes sayinghow some great players that
played for the Kings that I didnot select.
I have a whole list of thosetoo, but I'll go first.
So on my number one line, Ihave the great one, wayne
Gretzky, the president of the LAKings currently, luke

(04:53):
Robitaille, and I did pick YariCurry, and I picked him because
they all did play together, sothat would be my number one line
.
My number two line, of course,is the triple crown line.
Thank you, marcel Dion, daveTaylor and Charlie Simmer Nice.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
So we're doing two lines or one line.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
There's four lines You're going to do all four or
you're going to do one and one.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
What he's asking, if you want to do like all of us do
our four, or are you going todo one and one?
What?

Speaker 4 (05:26):
He's asking if you want to do like all of us do our
first line, all of us do oursecond line all of us do our
third line.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
We could do that way.
Go ahead, Kevin who's yourfirst line.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, it kind of transcends into what you were
saying, because, as a Kings fanand I actually lean toward what
Eddie's saying and I actuallyasked you that very question
it's like are we going to have aGinla, are we going to have
other people that really didn'tplay much or sucked when they
came over or were average, orare we going to do King?
So I had that same thought andclarification as a true, you

(05:56):
know, kings fan.
So, as somebody that's beenaround and seen a million games
and and seen these guys in theirprime 1979 I was there, the
guys right behind me, these guys, marcel, where are you?
Marcel, dave taylor, charliesimmer that's my number one line
.
That's the first line ever inthe nhl to have the all

(06:19):
everybody on the line scored 100points in the same season.
Okay, so, so everybody else,you know, as far as from a
purity Kings standpoint and I,you know, gretzky was great.
He paid 539 games with the Kings.
Dave Taylor paid 1111 gameswith the Kings.
You know Dion played 921 gamesand he's the all time leading

(06:42):
scorer.
I know Kopitar is coming up onhim, but he's got about 500 more
games.
So my number one line, without,without any question, having
seen them personally, watchedhow they matriculated the puck
down the down the, down the ice,and how they scored.
No question.
For me again, as a Kings fan,as a true Kings line, there can

(07:07):
be none that can compare to thenatural.
It's like a natural triplecrown line.
That's to me.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
How about you, Eddie?

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Well, I did not see Charlie Simmer or Marcel Dion
play.
I did see Dave Taylor at theend of his career.
I think the argument of that'sthe greatest line in Kings
history I think is a strong oneif you wanted to look at it in
that way.
But I put what I thought waslike if I had a pool of players

(07:44):
and I'm picking who, I'm thecoach and I'm saying who's my
number one line.
I didn't look at it that way,but I think that argument, if
you're saying pick the, pick thegreatest Kings line, that
actually was a line togetherThen I think the triple crown
line is the obvious answer.
So I I I get that explanation,but I went with what I thought

(08:06):
would be if I could pick theplayers who would be my number
one line.
I have Andre Kopitar at center,luke Robitaille on the left
wing and Marcel Dion on theright wing.
Wow, no, gretz huh, nope,gretzky is not the I I've said
all along.
I believe andre kopitar is thegreatest king of all time.
Um wayne gretzky is, uh, themost influential king of all

(08:30):
time, but he wasn't the greatestking.
And when you're also you're,you're the best years of your
career with another team, thenthat affects my judgment on you
being a, you know, uh, the top,top player on another team, so
to speak.
To me, wayne Gretzky is anOiler first and a King second.
So if I'm talking about mygreatest Kings of all time, I

(08:54):
can't put him at number one,because I just don't think of
him as a King first.
I think of him as an Oilerfirst.
That's my thing, that's mycriteria.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
That's why we have this, and I and I knew it was
going to be different.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
I knew we were all going to be a little bit
different and I I was expectingthis.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, he, that's what makes it fun here, gary, and I
want to respond to a Copa tar.
Marcel Dion's the greatest Kingplayer ever.
There's no question about it inmy mind.
Hey, kevin, he played 921 gamesand he leads in points.
And what did Kopitar play?
1,454 games, 500 more games andhe has less points than Dion.

(09:36):
So in my opinion, and we're onthe same page.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
You saw Marcel Dion play.
I did not.
Could he even touch AndrzejKopitar as a two-way player?
He?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
wasn't a two-way player.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Yes, there you go, I'm talking, you know all around
.
You're just talking aboutscoring, that's fine.
I'm talking about all-aroundgame.
I'll take Kopitar.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Okay, so, kevin, let's not get off topic.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, Kevin, we're not arguing who the greatest is.
We're making a team Everybodyhas their I did.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
I'm saying that's why I picked Kobotaro Vigretsky for
my top line center.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
That makes sense.
I looked at all the stats anddo you have any idea who the top
five scoring forwards are inKings history?

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I think Taylor's up there.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, dion, I'll give it to you, dion is number one
there you go.
Kopitar is number two,robitaille is number three, dave
Taylor is number four.
There you go.
Kopitar is number two,robitaille is number three, dave
Taylor is number four.
There you go.
And Wayne Gretzky only playing539 games is number five.
Bernie Nichols is number six,dustin Brown, and then it goes
all the way to Drew Dowdy atnumber eight.

(11:01):
So Well, let's not getsidetracked.
Well, we already did so, butlet's not get sidetracked.
Well, we already did so.
Kevin, why don't you give?

Speaker 2 (11:10):
me your number two line, absolutely.
You know, my number one line ismy king's pedigree.
That you know.
I've been following themforever.
I saw these guys play, as Isaid, so the triple crown was
number one.
So then number two I did moreof the mix and match with the
greatest ever kind of like inthe pool thing Eddie was talking
about.
So Gretzky's got to be there.

(11:32):
You know, he's my number twoline, right?
So imagine this line if you'retrying to, if you're a
defenseman opposing these threeguys.
You got Gretzky, these threeguys.
You got Gretzky, lukeRobitaille and Bernie Nichols.
Good luck stopping that.
You got offensive firepower,unstoppable.

(11:58):
So my second line is you know,and Robitaille, I like
Robitaille more, I'm more loyalto Robitaille, you know, came up
and just wasn't supposed to doanything and he's Hall of Fame
and one of the greatest Kingsever, arguably, and so he's in
there.
Bernie Nichols we traded him,unfortunately.
I'd like to have seen him havehis whole career with the Kings.

(12:19):
Great score, just this is anoffensive punch that I don't
think you're going to be able toput together three guys that
have more offensive punch thanthese guys could.
But they're not two-way players, but that's okay.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
What about you, Eddie ?
What's your second line?

Speaker 4 (12:36):
I've got Gretzky centering the second line with
Dave Taylor and Dustin Brown.
I have on my second line and hedoes not have some of the stats
of some of the other guys youcould put on there, but
obviously brings a physicalpresence, leadership.
He is top 10, by the way oh, bythe way, you know, and goals

(13:00):
and assists and points.
So it's not like, oh, I have nohe didn't.
He didn't have the, uh, the, thestats, but as far as you know,
being a dynamic sniper, thatkind of thing, no, he wasn't
that guy, but a great powerforward.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
So, uh, yeah, I got gretzky, taylor and brown on my
second line I think that's agreat line, eddie um, and you
heard mine, I I picked theTriple Crown line to be my
second line.
I already gave it to youearlier Dion Taylor Simmer, but
I will go first on the thirdline.
And my third line is AnzeKopitar, dustin Brown and Adrian

(13:40):
Kempe.
And the one thing you got tolove about that line, that line
does everything.
It's probably maybe the besttwo-way line in the whole thing.
And my thought is why I putKopitar which, eddie, I agree

(14:02):
with you, he's won two cups,he's probably the greatest king
ever as far as he won two cups,best two-way player I think the
Kings have ever had.
And I got to say I don't thinkKempe's too far behind him as
far as two-way players.
But you have that third line.
They're not only going to scorefor you but they're going to

(14:23):
check for you too.
And that's kind of why I madeit my line that way.
I was thinking, okay, here's,I'm thinking penalty killers,
because we're going to make twolines of penalty killers.
I know Kopitar and Kempeprobably be my number one
penalty kill forwards.
I mean just why I'm throwingthat out.

(14:49):
So that's my, my third line.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
Eddie, why don't we go with your third line?
Um, I've got Jeff Carter, uh,at center.
Uh, bernie Nichols on one wingand Butch Goring on the other.
Um, again a couple of guys Ididn't see play in person, or
you know, when I was, I became aKings fan in the nineties, so I
didn't see Bernie play with theKings or Butch, but I think the

(15:16):
numbers speak for themselvesthat they I would think those
two guys would be amongstanyone's list of you know,
picking four lines.
I would think those two guysare going to be in there
somewhere.
So that's what I got Carterwith Goring and Nichols.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
I have no problem with that either.
That's a great line.
What about?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
you, kev.
Yeah, carter is underratedreally, he really is.
He was a fantastic player andvery underrated and not
mentioned enough, and I agreewith that.
And Goring was just very quietand just handled his business.
You know, my third line startswith Dustin Brown, then I got

(16:00):
Kempe and of course Kopitar, soGary just copied me.
No, I didn't.
I put them in a different order.
Don't be so defensive.
Gary.
What's the matter with you?
Goodness gracious, this isbanter bro.
But yeah, kopitar Brown andKempe are my third line, and

(16:20):
what a third line.
You know, now you're gettingthe physicality.
You're going to get blitzed bymy first two lines.
You're going to get behind andI'm going to put my third line
in and they're just going toshut you down, you know, because
they can do it all.
And so to have your third line,kopitar brown and kempe, my
goodness, I mean, you're just,you're getting way about.

(16:41):
How are the ducks ever going tocompete with, with what we were
able to put on the table withthese guys?
But yeah, you had it right.
Gary, I want to compliment youon your third line because you
had it absolutely perfect.
You nailed it.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
I had this already done two weeks ago, Kevin.
What the fuck's up?
What's the matter with you?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Eddie, you know I'm kidding right.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Oh, I didn't.
I mean you guys can put anybodyyou want on there.
I mean it's your, it's yourteam, you know that's right, so
we can, we can argue about it ifyou want, but in the end it's
up, it's your team, you can putwhoever you want on there.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
And Kev, why don't you go with your fourth line?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
we'll just go right back, uh okay now the first line
is one I wasn't thatcomfortable with, but I went
back and forth with Gary on thevery subject that we talked
about at the beginning, thelittle fly in the ointment that
Eddie put in that.
I had the same kind of fly inmy ointment too, and I asked you

(17:41):
if we include them with theircareer stats count.
And under that premise myfourth line reflects that.
Okay.
So my criteria if he didn't playat least 50 games then I
wouldn't even put you on, evenif you were a superstar Minimum
50 games.

(18:01):
So and I'm kind of embarrassedto even say this as a kings fan
because yari curry, you know heplayed 331 games, but he's the
edmonton guy, you know I can'tand he and he was here when his.
You know that not much treadleft on his tires, but it's
still yari curry and if we'regoing to count his career, you

(18:23):
can't not have Yari Curry, eventhough he's on my fourth line.
If I truly didn't care, hewouldn't be on my fourth line,
he'd be higher, but withtrepidation, the whole line I'm
going to give you I'm a littleembarrassed by, to be honest
with you, but I'm using thecriteria of career stats.

(18:47):
That's why these guys are on mylist and I'm going to tell you
how many games they played.
Jeremy Roenick played 58 gamesfor us.
Okay, he's not a king, but thatwas the criteria.
So my fourth line John Tonelliplayed 221 games for the Kings.
So I got Yari Curry, johnTonelli and Jeremy Roenick, none

(19:11):
of whom I really feel in myheart are Kings, but they did
play for the Kings.
They passed their criteria, andso that's kind of my fourth
line.
I mean, you look at the namesand the pedigree and the career.
You can't argue it.
But as a Kings fan it gives mea little dyspepsia.
You know what I mean.
That's my fourth.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Okay, eddie, what's your fourth line?

Speaker 4 (19:35):
Well, like I said, I didn't consider Yari Curry
because his time as a King wouldnot put him on my all time
Kings list.
If you were taking his totalcareer into consideration, then
I probably would have given himserious consideration, but that
wasn't uh how I wanted to makemy team so.

(19:56):
Um, I have Adrian Kempe as mycenter uh on this team because I
need somebody to play centerand he's certainly capable of
doing that.
Uh, charlie Simmer.
I have charlie simmer on onewing, um, great, great numbers,
but uh, obviously he did notplay uh as much as some of the
other guys I have ahead of him.
Uh, with the kings like butchgoring and dave taylor and luke

(20:17):
robitaille, the left wingers Ihave ahead of him.
And then the last guy I gottabe honest with you, I don't know
much about him, but looking atjust the stats, he kind of kept
popping up in that around thetop 10 range.
Uh, and maybe, kevin, you canenlighten me a little bit on
Mike Murphy.
He's 11th in games played 11thin games, played 13th in points,

(20:38):
13th in assists in Kingshistory.
Go ahead, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Very consistent, very solid, pretty good two-way
player.
Um, just very consistent.
It was just.
You know, every game you got aconsistent performance.
He added points on there and hewas also not bad on the two-way
situation.
Uh, it makes sense.
That's a I like, I like your.
Uh, fourth line, that's a, it'san excellent.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Is there anyone of a more modern team that he can
compare to, just to kind of givepeople like me a little bit
better idea of like, oh, he waskind of like this guy, that's a
little bit more current.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Well, I mean, I don't think anybody that comes to
mind currently would be too muchof a superstar.
This was just a very good,solid two-way player.
I don't want to call him, youknow like.
Dustin Brown is a great player.
Right, he isn't in thatcategory, he's not in a Kopitar

(21:37):
category, but he was just a verysolid two-way guy that's going
to score for you and you knownothing.
That stood out in particular,but you didn't notice mistakes
either.
He just played in a very, verysolid way.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Eddie, I would say the closest comparison I could
come would be Dustin Brown.
Okay, he could score, he woulddo the dirty work, he was a good
player.
I'm not gonna say he's betterthan dustin brown, I don't think
so but kind of in that kind ofway.
Was mike murphy all right?

(22:16):
So, um, my, for my fourth lineI'll give you guys right now.
Now, the funny thing is is alot of the same guys.
We just got them on differentlines.
I have Jeff Carter, BernieNichols and Butch Goring.
I go, take that for your fourthline.

(22:38):
Dang, that's a killer line.
I mean I could have made themthe third line just as easy as I
did.
You know, Kopitar Brown andKempe.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
I may be wrong.
I think Yari Curry is the onlyguy that we're not all in
agreement on.
I think we all have everyoneelse other than Mike Murphy
would be my outlier, I guess.
But I think we've all had Kempe, we've all had Sim, I think
we've all had campaign, we'veall had Simmer, we've all had
Carter, we've all had Goring,nichols Brown, gretzky, taylor,
robitaille, kopitar and Dion.

(23:11):
So at least we've got a very.
I think we've got a very uhagreement on most things just
one or no no, uh, ronick, andTonelli is only Kevin.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, I went with the criteria on the fourth line for
the career stats.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
But I did want to mention.
So, kevin, did you not haveKempe, kempe's?

Speaker 1 (23:32):
not in your forward group.
No, he was on the third line.
All right, Kopitar and Brown.
Yeah, Kopitar.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Brown and Kempe.
Gary copied me, you know.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
I'm trying to figure out who else he left off that we
had.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
He.
I'm trying to figure out whoelse he left off that we had.
He did not have Jeff Carter.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I didn't have Carter, but that was because of the
career thing that we kind ofboth kind of like as King fans.
It kind of makes us go.
Oh God, I don't really want toput John Tinelli on there, but
you look at his career Well.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
I could tell you why I would pick carter over him.
He he was the difference of usmaking uh winning the cup.
He was a late pickup, helped uswell in the 14 which cup I'm
trying to remember which onewell, he was on both teams, so
he was on both teams.

(24:23):
So he was, he was that pickupwith in 12 when we barely made
the playoffs.
It was a miracle we made theplayoffs, I think.
And then we go and win thestanley cup.
Um, then you had mike richards,which was obviously was a
really good player.
Nobody picked, but then he, hekind of he's.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
I think they're still paying him they are, they are
actually I think he's beenpaying for like he's getting
like a check for 500 000 forlike the next five years, which
is man how, how amazing is that?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
I mean, just here you go, here's your check I did
want to mention on simmer,because we all have them and,
eddie, you didn't get a chanceto see him as much as us, but he
was just this big hulking guyand he'd be in front of the net
and I remember the reason hedidn't play that long is because

(25:14):
he had a very catastrophicinjury.
I believe it was at BostonGarden.
He was, as usual, camped infront.
Somebody cleared him and hewent over his leg and his leg
just shredded.
I think it might have been hisankle that just completely
snapped and he was never being abig hulking guy and you get
just your leg shredded or yourankle just smashed.

(25:36):
He was never able to beatCharlie Simmer again after that.
I believe it was at the BostonGarden.
I was watching the game and Iwas like, oh no, not Simmer, and
it turned out to be just acatastrophic injury.
So that's why we don't have 700games and if we did have that,
we might all have Simmer higher,because he was the original
camp in front of the thing.
You can't move him, he's toobig and any rebound he's just

(26:00):
going to Well and back in thosedays.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
He must've just taken an unbelievable amount of abuse
because of the cross-checkingand whatnot everything they were
allowed back then.
So respect for that role.
I will also, since we're, sincethe show we're doing is titled
what it is, I will also say thatYari Curry, being a doc also
was, uh, uh, another reason notto have him on this team.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Good point, good point.
No I agree, but here we go.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Eddie, why don't you start off with the first
defensive pair you'd pick?

Speaker 4 (26:37):
I mean, I can't imagine us having a different
pair than a Hall of Famer and agoing-to-be Hall of Famerer, and
that's rob blake and drew dowdy.
I I just you know, um, if, ifthere's another one you guys
have ahead of those two guys, Iwill be very surprised, um.
So I think I thought this was avery easy selection, um, for

(26:59):
the top pairing on defense blakeand dowdy.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Kevin.
Well, you're going to besurprised because there's one
name that you're missing, andagain, it's because I'm so old
that I saw him play Right.
Obviously am I still got me.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Can I take a guess?

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Is it Larry Murphy?
No, no, I am completelyintrigued.
Now still got me, okay, yeah,okay, can I take a guess?
Sure, is it larry murphy?
No, no, all right, I amcompletely intrigued.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Now me too, eddie, because I was thinking the same
thing.
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
okay, again, again, because I'm old and I saw him
play and he played.
Let's see 182 games for theKings over three seasons.
He is a hall of famer.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Oh, I know who it is now.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, he was huge, he was smooth, he was always under
control.
You come anywhere near on ourside, he's going to board you
and then he's going to skate offand not even miss his step.
Larry Robinson was the the bestdefenseman I ever personally
saw in person and he playedthree years for us.
Obviously, now I do check someof the plus minuses, because I

(28:15):
wish I had had more time to domore stats, because I like to
throw stats in as well.
And why do this?
I'm going to give you a forinstance.
Now, let's see.
So Larry Murphy clearly is goingto be on this list.
I'm not going to tell you where, because I don't want to tip it
.
Do you know that Larry Murphy?
And he deserves to be on thedefense.
Do you know Larry Murphy'scareer plus minus was 197 for

(28:40):
Larry Murphy?
Did you know that?
I did not know that off the topof my head.
Okay, so knowing that Murphywas a great player and an
extraordinary plus, 197 was hisplus minus.
Anybody want to take a stab atwhat Larry Robinson's plus minus
was for his career?

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, he played for Montreal for quite a few years,
so it was probably pretty goodGo ahead and take a guess.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
I'll say 300.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Wow Okay, gary, 275.
Plus.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
Oh no, he left us in suspense.
It cut out right as he wassaying the answer.
Say it again, kevin.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
I'm trying what happened.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Plus 722, boys, now, anybody that you saw play.
That was that effective.
He shut down anything that camein our zone.
He'll board you and he'll getup and clear, clear the puck and
he won't even break stridesLike one of those football
players or baseball playerswhere they don't even look like
they're moving Right and they'regoing super, super fast.

(29:45):
That was, and he was huge.
He was the biggest guy on theice.
He was smooth, he wasaggressive but he wasn't pissed
about it and he was just sotalented.
Best defenseman I've ever seenplay, larry Robinson, and one of
my favorite gentlemen and oneof my favorite players,
obviously Rob Blake, you know,is my second on my first defense

(30:06):
line.
So Rob Blake, we agree on it'sjust Larry Robinson.
That's kind of the historicalguy I see play.
And plus 722.
How about that?
There you go.
It's ridiculous.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Great player.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Okay.
So I will just say again, ifthis were a list that I and I
didn't look into it, but I'mpretty sure I can't imagine If
this were a list of just guyswho ever played for the Kings,
then yes, larry Murphy and LarryRobinson would I'm sure be on
my list as well.

(30:46):
But that wasn't what I waslooking to do with my team.
I would ask Kevin this question.
I would ask Kevin this question.
You would take Rob Blake overDrew Dowdy because he's a more
physical presence, because Dowdydoes that better.
I know you said you're a statguy.
Dowdy does already have betterstats than Rob and he's still

(31:06):
playing.
So just a question.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
I feel that Blake was more of a presence, especially
on the defensive side, and healso scored Fair enough.
Just a big, just super talentedtwo-way guy.
And again, similar demeanor toRobinson you come in, I'm going
to board you.
If the whistle blows, I mighthelp you up.
But you come in my zone, I'mgoing to board you, I'm going to

(31:31):
clear the front of the net andthen I'm going to go down and
score and I like the question.
So Blakey had 494 points in 800games and you know they're
similar Dowdy's on my next one.
I don't want to tip it, but ifyou look at the pace of the

(31:51):
points and then the grit, theyboth have it.
So they're interchangeable.
But just, I saw more games inperson with Blakey and he also
uh, maybe you know, because Ithought he did a pretty good job
as as an executive, maybe Igave him a little bit extra on
that, but they're, they'reinterchangeable.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
I did.
By the way, I did see LarryRobinson play for the King, so I
I do remember larry robinson.
He was like, uh, no helmet, asI recall, uh and uh, he felt
like he was a coach on the ice,you know, because he just had
that kind of you know, older,been there, done, that kind of a
kind of a guy, as I remember.
It was kind of like of like,almost like the dad was playing

(32:35):
with the kids or something Verysmooth, right.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Was he the Stork?
Was that his nickname, or am Iconfusing him with somebody else
?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
I don't think.
I'm not sure about that one?
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I do remember him being a steady influence back
there as an older defensemanwhen he came to the Kings.
But I'm going to give you mynumber one line for defense and
I can't see anybody.
Number one would have to beDrew Dowdy.
I think he's probably thegreatest defenseman the Kings

(33:09):
have ever had.
I have Larry Dowdy and I dohave as his partner Larry Murphy
.
Larry Murphy played enoughgames.
It was a contract dispute andthey gave him away.
If they would have kept him, Idon't know how crazy and good

(33:31):
the Kings might've been with him, but it was all about money
when they got rid of LarryMurphy.
So I have Dowdy and Murphy.
Then I'm going to give you mynumber two line and no team, no
Kings team, could be without RobBlake on it, and I got Rob
Blake and Steve Duchesne as mynumber two defensive pair.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
That's good.
I think Duchesne seemed to me,as I recall, more offensive than
defensive, and for me I want aguy that if you come in my zone
you're going to get boarded, andso I agree that Duchesne is on
the list.
Very good scoring defenseman.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
The nickname for Larry Robinson was Big Bird
Eddie.
I looked it up.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
I was going to.
I was in the Bird family.
You know who I think was thestork.
I don't know if you guys arefootball fans at all.
Do you remember the linebacker,ted Hendricks?

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Absolutely, I think that was the stork.
I don't know if you guys arefootball fans?

Speaker 4 (34:38):
that aren't at all.
Do you remember the linebacker,ted hendricks?
That was absolutely.
I think that was the stork.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
I confused my uh, my big, tall, uh, athletes anyway
yeah, my lines have a combo ofdefense and offense to them.
So that's I.
I picked uh blakey and uh steveduches.
Eddie, who do you have as yoursecond pair?

Speaker 4 (34:57):
I would say that my second pair is also that mix of
defense and offense.
I have Steve Duchesne as well,but I have Matthias Nordstrom
with him.
I love Matty.
You know, just a reliable,hardworking, blunch, pale kind
of guy, not spectacular in anyway, not offensively gifted in

(35:20):
any way, but just from defensephysical big fan of Matthias
Nordstrom.
So I've got him on my secondpair with Duchesne.
I had forgotten all about.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Matthias Nordstrom.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
How could you forget about Matthias Nordstrom?
You?

Speaker 1 (35:34):
know you said everything.
You just said.
It brought all back memories.
He was a great king.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, I think I see your hair standing up there,
Gary.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah, it is.
What about you?

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Kev.
Okay.
So I'm building a team rightand with my forwards I stuck
with the triple crown and then Iwent Gretzky, robitaille and
Nichols for offense and then Iput Kopitar, brown and Kempe for
more of a defensive.

(36:07):
So I'm trying to build abalanced team while I'm trying
to be mindful of the Kings andthe history and such.
So my defensemen are one ofthem.
You're going to say, finally isDowdy.
Of course I mean, that was it'sjust because I, robinson, was

(36:27):
one of my favorite players ever.
So I put Larry Robinson firstand I just thought he was
awesome, and Blakey was numbertwo and then Dowdy's three.
So that, but they're allinterchangeable to me.
My second defenseman I need Ineed somebody that if you come

(36:48):
down and you clean out Gretzky,you're going to have an issue.
You have a problem.
You come down and you thrownickels against the boards.
I want somebody that's going tomake sure that he tells you
that that's not acceptable.
So I got Marty McSorley.
I want that grit, I want thattoughness.
I want somebody that if you puthands on my forwards you're

(37:09):
going to get a knuckle sandwichboys.
I did have one interestingthing.
Do you know that McSorleyscored 234 points in 472 games.
So he only paid 472 games.
He scored 234 points.
So he's not just a goon.
He actually could score.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
He had some talent, he played a little forward in
his NHL career.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yeah, yeah, he did.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
He did play both, but he is listed as a defenseman on
almost every other thing.
I don't have a problem with youpicking McSorley, I want my
team.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
That's my team.
You're going to come and messwith my guys.
Marty's going to come up andintroduce himself and tell you
that we don't do that here.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Okay, kev, why don't you go and give us your third
team?
We'll just go back in reverseorder, sure.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
And I have one quick.
So when Gretzky was still withEdmonton right, I got tickets to
the Kings game.
And I was able to get ticketsto the Kings game at the Forum
when we made the playoffs and Iwas about 10 rows behind the
goaltender right.
So in between periods Gretzky'splaying for Ace Gwan.

(38:20):
He's buzzing everywhere andnobody's hitting him and he's
feeding everybody.
We're getting our butt kicked.
So between periods I go downwhere the Kings go into their
locker room and they come outand I get my beer.
I might've already had a dopebeverage or two and here come
the Kings go into their lockerroom and they come out and I get
my beer.
I might've already had a adultbeverage or two and here come
the Kings back on the ice andI'm screaming at him hit Gretzky

(38:41):
, just hit him, knock him intothe boards and they didn't do it
.
And why didn't they do it?
They didn't want to deal withMick Sorley.
But I just remember screamingat him like just somebody hit
the guy.
What are you doing?
And you could, they wouldn'thit him.
So that's why I you know.
Just that's a quick McSorleystory.
My third line is Larry Murphy.
Of course you know that'sobvious and agreed.

(39:04):
And then you know I had thecriteria of 50 games minimum or
I wouldn't pick them.
So I guess we all have to makea line of demarcation of what's
a king and what's not.
But because of the statisticalcareer, paul Coffey played 60
games.
So I have Paul Coffey as adefenseman.

(39:25):
He's one of the best all-timedefensemen and a plus 298 on his
career, by the way, not bad.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
True, how about you, eddie?

Speaker 4 (39:37):
Well, we went.
I mean, we already have saidwhat my criteria was for picking
.
I did consider Marty McSorley,by the way.
I did consider him, but kind of, looking at the stats, I kept
seeing someone that was ahead ofhim and I do remember seeing
him play at the end of hiscareer with the Kings, or at
least the end of his career withthe kings, or at least his at
the end of his time with thekings, and that was mark hardy.

(39:58):
Um, he's third in games playedall time by a defenseman.
He's third and assist.
He's fourth in points.
Um, so you know, he's justbehind some pretty good players
like blake and dow, uh,statistically as a defenseman.
So, um, I got him on there as aKing, great King, defenseman.

(40:19):
And the other guy I've got is,uh, alec Martinez.
Um, I, you know you can arguewith that, certainly, um, but,
uh, you know, certainly as faras, uh, important goals in
King's history, a couple of thebiggest ones of all time and a
steady guy, solid career.
So, martinez, you know it's nota, I don't know that I have a,

(40:44):
I could be talked out of itperhaps, but I still.
I mean, I like Marty a lot, soit's my team.
So I'm picking Alec Martinez.
Okay, so I'm picking.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Alec Martinez.
Okay, I like your pick becauseI have Alec Martinez also on my
third pair, but I do have thatenforcer for Gretzky.
I did pick Marty McSorleyMcSorley and.
Martinez as my third pair.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Take it easy, Kevin Calm down.
Got to Take it easy, Kevin Calmdown.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Got to have that grit man.
You got to have it.
You mess with my guys.
You're going to get a knucklesandwich.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Now, guys, we're almost done with this.
Let's go to goalies.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
All right, I was surprised that Kevin didn't have
Dowdy and Blake as his top two,but I understand his, his
reasoning, I guess, and again,it's his team.
So whatever, if he doesn't, ifwe'd all don't have the same two
goalies, I will beflabbergasted.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Is that a good word?
Flabbergasted?

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yes, that's a great word, love it.
You never know, kevin Love it.
You never know.
Kevin, you want me to go first.
Guys, I'll go first.
The number one's got to betwo-time Stanley Cup champion,
jonathan Quick.
There's just no other doubt inmy mind.
If he's not our number one,then something's wrong, and I

(42:14):
would say 1A, 1b.
Rogi Vashon would be my backup.
So those are my two picks.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Agreed, Kevin.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
I hate agreeing with you guys.
I really do.
I see you had to.
I really hate agreeing with you, but you got one.
Hall of Famer and one soon-to-beHall of Famer.
Definite, no question.
Brought us two Stanley Cups In2012,.
It was his cup that he broughtus.
Honestly, he didn't have thesupport 2014,.

(42:47):
He had a little more help, butI mean he was standing on his
head in 2012.
Great games, played goals.
Again, he's a Hall of Famer.
Quick is no question, no doubt.
Yeah, I'm not that crazy.
And Rogie Vachon, you know,nobody else really stands out.
You know, I remember Kelly Rudyand he was very inconsistent.

(43:09):
Sometimes Rudy would be greatand the coolest thing about Rudy
was the whole crowd going Rudy,rudy, okay, but that's not
enough to get you over any great.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
And the coolest thing about Rudy was that people, the
whole crowd- going okay, butthat's not enough to get you
over, uh, anyone.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Um, you know, I, our current guy's pretty good too,
so we'll see what happens, butthat's yeah those, those are the
two that clearly I can't.
I can't throw anything in here,so yeah, I, I.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
There's not anybody else even close.
No, um, not that I can see wellquick.
Honestly, guys, we have a lotof the same players.
We may have them mixed around alittle bit, but one thing I was
going to tell you, eddie, youhad kopitar on your number one
line.
The one reason I didn't put himon my number one line is he's

(43:57):
one of my number one penaltykillers, so I'd rather have him
play a little less minutes.
So he's a good penalty killer.
That was my thought, because Iagree with you Greatest king
ever, two Stanley Cups.
He doesn't have the best stats,but stats don't mean everything
.
I mean, you think about it.

(44:18):
Um, the lakers don't winwithout kurt rambis, and he
really wasn't a stat guy, right?

Speaker 4 (44:25):
well, it also means something to me, um, when you're
talking about the greatestplayer of X.
It means something to me ifthat player was drafted by that
team and played his entirecareer with that team especially
in today's day and age.
That does mean something to me.
Now Kopitar's career isn't overyet.

(44:46):
It's not completely impossiblethat he would go somewhere else.
I guess I would be stunnedthough I would be shocked if
that happened.
I can't envision that happening.
So it does mean something to me.
like I said you're drafted bythe team and you played your
whole career and I, if you're,if you're the the face of that
franchise and if you're thatall-time guy for that team,

(45:08):
that's important to me well, no,and I agree with you.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
But the reason I put him not up farther is that he'd
play a little bit less on thethird line and be one of my main
penalty killers.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Well, you're thinking , you're really taking this to
the extreme as far as being thecoach of the team, so to speak.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
So that's why I try to think it all out.
You know, I've I've I'vecoached a lot of teams in my day
.
Not ever I did I ever coachhockey.
A lot of teams in my day Notever did I ever coach hockey.
But sometimes, you know, we siton the couch and we second
guess what the coach does.
I can remember driving and theKings were playing Edmonds in
this last year, and even theKings broadcasters when they did

(45:50):
the ask for the video reviewfor goalie interference on the
goal, they said I really Iwasn't sure if I would do that
and then we ended up losing.
So obviously, second guessingpillar on that decision.

(46:13):
But I thought when I made myteam I was trying to think about
every aspect of playing a gamewith this team too.
So but I, like I said, we got alot of the same players.
It's, it's not a shock.
I mean we have a few out.
Well, I mean I have Curry,nobody else does, and we have.
Oh no, kevin does Roenick andTonelli, nobody else had.

(46:39):
But mean I have Curry, nobodyelse does, and we have.
Oh no, kevin does Roenick andTonelli, nobody else had but
Kevin, you're the only one thathad Nordstrom, but I don't have
a problem with that pick.
I didn't even think about him,but I had no problem if he'd be
on our team.
To be honest with you, I thinkwhoever we pick, we're going
gonna probably beat those ducks.
So let's start trying to buildthat team.

(47:00):
So can we come up with an ideaof how, what kind of first line
we really want?

Speaker 4 (47:09):
I mean, I don't know there, I I don't know that
there's going to be a wronganswer.
I don't think there is, ifyou're going to twist my arm and
say Gretzky over Krobatar orsomething like that.
On the top line I'd be like,okay, I can understand that.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
I'm not twisting anybody's arm.
Honestly, we all had adifferent center on the first
line, but we all had the playersomewhere else in the line.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Dion's all on our first lines, right?
Marcel dion's on our first line.
For all of us, is that right?

Speaker 1 (47:47):
actually he wasn't on my, on my he was yeah for me,
he was well so we want to havedion.
Do we want him to be theforward center or just one of
the forwards?
Okay, we all agree on dion.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
Okay, okay are we oh look, I'm sorry, are we picking
what our starting lineup isright now?
Is that what?
We're doing yes okay, all right, I I will agree on.
Well, I had dion on my top line, so obviously I'm gonna agree
on that.
You're the one, gary, I think,that we have to convince to put
marcel dion on the top line.
So obviously I'm going to agreeon that.
You're the one, gary, I think,that we have to convince to put
Marcel Dion on the top line.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
And I just agreed with you let's put him on the
first line.
He's on my list.
Really, we mix this up.
It's not going to hurt myfeelings at all, because I mean
all these guys are great players.
Because I mean all these guysare great players I know you
have Taylor and Simmer on yours,kevin.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
I'm a homer, you know .

Speaker 1 (48:44):
You had Robitaille and Kopitar.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
If you're going for just picking, like the pool,
like Eddie was saying, andyou're picking out the pool,
maybe you don't put those, but Ijust know as an effective
effective line together.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
They were amazing.
But you know it's a.
It's a little homer bias onthat one, I guess.
Well, so let's look at thefirst lines.
You guys both had dion.
I didn't.
We'll go with dion, so it's twoto one on that.
Um, you're the only one thathad Simmer on the first line and
you're the only one that hadTaylor on the first line, I know
.
So Robitaille me and Eddieagreed would be on the first

(49:26):
line.
Do we want to go withRobitaille?
That would be like two to one.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
How does that sound?
Yeah Well, I mean, you have theresults.
So anything that there's atwo-to-one consensus on, I think
that kind of ends the argument.
We're just going to restatewhere we came from, where we're
coming from.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
So now we've got to come up with a third.
And you still have TaylorSimmer, he has Kopitar, I had
Curry and Gretzky.

Speaker 4 (49:59):
I'm fine with Gretzky being on the top line.
Yeah, agreed.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Okay, so we do.
Gretzky God.
What a killer line that is.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
I don't know.
I liked Gretzky Robitaille andBernie Nichols.
I thought that would just be.
You can't stop.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Well, you know, they actually did play together, wow,
you know, when they all playedon the team together, they did
play together quite often.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
I thought Nichols was not on the same line.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
No, he scored 70 goals.
Who do you think passed him thepuck?

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Gary Spink.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Not me, cody Spink, I can't skate, so I guess it was
you, Eddie.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah, it must have been Eddie.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
I can't skate, but not well.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
So okay, so we have Gretzky, robitaille and Dion, so
we get rid of Dion, we get ridof Gretzky, robitaille's out,
dion's out.
Who do we want to put on thesecond line we have?

(51:09):
I mean, I tried to put a centerwith each one of them.
I mean Dion put a center witheach one of them.
I mean, uh, dion was a center,so we have two centers on that
line.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Um, yeah, but we're not doing just like has to build
it on a position.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
We're just saying the best for you know front yeah,
you know well, I always want youbecause you got to um.
You have to realize you have tohave face-offs too.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
You have to realize you have to have face-offs too.
I would say Kopitar and Taylorshould probably be on the second
line.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
The third forward to me is I'm willing to listen.
Okay, so I agree with Kopitarand Taylor.
I do too.
Gary, you're good with that.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Oh absolutely the one player.
Oh, I have two player jerseys.
Kopitar is one of them.
So I like Kopi a lot.
I mean I love the way he playsbecause he really doesn't have
an overall weakness and he'spretty healthy most of the time.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Yeah, he answers the bell.
So on this one, are we goingfor the?
What is our criteria Like?
If we take Dustin Brown,nobody's going to be pissed, but
then you're leaving the scorerlike Bernie Nichols, that is
going to give me more offensivefirepower.
So I guess it's just are webuilding this with any kind of
eye toward balance of the line?

(52:38):
Cause if you're going to have abalanced line, then you can put
Dustin Brown on.
So that's my question.

Speaker 4 (52:44):
I'm fine, I'm fine either way.
Um, I guess I would probablysay Bernie Nichols over Dustin
Brown, because you've got,you've got the grinder and Dave
Taylor.
So maybe Taylor and Browntogether are two kind of similar
players.
Maybe you'd want somebody whowas more of a finisher.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Yeah, I think I agree with you, Eddie.
I think Nichols would be theperfect guy because he he was a
big scorer and Kopi is obviouslya great passer.
You were balancing out ourlines, I like it.
How about?

Speaker 2 (53:21):
you?
You okay with that, kev?
Oh yeah, those were the twothat made sense.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Let's go to the third line.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
I think Brown on the third line, brown and.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Kempe Would be two Brown and Kempe.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
You got Kempe at center or wing Because I had him
as a center on my list.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
He can play either, so we could put him there.
I'm just trying to.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
So we agree on Brown.
Then at least right, yes, Ithink.
Yeah, I got Brown him there.
I'm just, I'm just trying to.
So we agree on brown.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Then at least right, yes, I think yeah, I got brown,
I'm okay with that.
Okay, we have carter we couldput.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Carter as the third line center, or Kempe, or put
Carter and Kempe.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
Well, you got the grit with Brown right.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Well, you definitely have the grit in front of the
net presence for sure, so Ithink you got to go.
You can't go, simmer, becausehe's in front of the net
presence too, so I think you'dhave to.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
Which.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Goring Not a bad pick .
Not a bad pick.
We could put Goring as thethird line center with Kempe.
Are we good on Kempe with thesecond one on the line?

Speaker 4 (55:05):
I'm fine with it, kempe.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
That's not a bad.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Brown and Kempe Goring as the center, because
Goring was the center.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Yeah, I could do Goring as a center, because
Goring was a center.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Yeah, I could do Goring.
So we have three forward spotsleft.
We're moving this pretty quickguys.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Well, it's because you guys know what you're
talking about.
Well, I think we've got to haveSimmer's got to be on that line
.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
The fourth line Carter's got to be on the fourth
line, Okay.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
And Curry played 331 games.
So it's the reason I includedhim, even though this whole
fourth line was very ambiguousfor me to even put in there.
So if you went on Curry'scareer stats he wouldn't be on
the fourth line, but because I,you know well, when you have an

(56:04):
all-star team, somebody has gotto play fourth line.
Yeah, but I'm I'm kind ofleaning toward Eddie a little
bit more in this one that Idon't really in my heart.
I never would think of YariCurry as a king.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
We can leave Curry off the list.
I don't care, I'm okay withthat.
What we have left is you haveRoenick Tonelli.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Well, they're worse than Curry.
As far as not being a king, wehave Mike Murphy.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
well, they're worse than curry as far as not being a
king.
So, uh, that's why we have mikemurphy I'll take anyone over,
ronick grant fuhrer yeah, I'lltake grant fuhrer over I I you

(57:00):
know I

Speaker 4 (57:00):
I, I, I.
I love jeremy ronick, but whenhe came to la and just just
totally didn't even try I thinkhe came here because he wanted
to act and get into that kind ofstuff.
I don't think he was interestedin being a hockey player
anymore.
So that was reallydisappointing.
Because I was a big jeremyronick fan.
I was excited when he came andthen when he was just kind of
like, yeah, I'm just out heregoofing around, I was like it

(57:21):
really bothered me.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
So I think, I think, my, my vote would be mike murphy
.
I think he's the only one.
Well, he was in he was in my.

Speaker 4 (57:30):
He was in my top group, so I'm not going to push
back on that, obviously.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
Well, I don't have anybody left.
The only one I had left wasCurry, and I crossed him off.
He wasn't king long enough,Okay.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
I'm good with that.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
Let's do, mike Murphy .

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Perfectly cool, perfectly appropriate.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
So let's do our defensive pairs.
So who do we want on our first?
I mean, Blake and Dowdy areinterchangeable to me, so I

(58:13):
think one has to be on.
I think you had them on thesame line, right, Eddie?

Speaker 4 (58:19):
No, yes, yeah, I had.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Dowdy and Blake as the top pairing.
I mean, that's we all agree onBlake, right?

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Well, yes, I think, because he's on my top also.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
Well, I had Blake on the second line because I was
doing righty-lefty.
That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
That's why I, you are overthinking it, man.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Well, that's how they play.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
I know God bless you.
That's great man, that's cool.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
That way they're on their side.
They can keep that puck in theleft hand.
I mean, obviously, Gavrikovplayed the right side and did a
great job.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Have you considered when you're going to do line
changes?

Speaker 1 (59:02):
No, the simulation will take care of line changes.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
I just wondered if you considered that and how old
they were and how fit they were.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Well, we're not.
It's going to be a simulationdone by the actual computer,
because people can manipulate it.
You can manipulate it and justhave the same line the whole
time, or whatever, if you'recontrolling all that.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
Keep an eye on Cody, then I will, if you're
controlling all that.
So if you do a simulation, keepan eye on Cody, then.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
I will.
Well, we did it.
We had some guy do it for usthe last time, but Cody thinks
he can do it this time.
He won't cheat.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
I know Silly You're serious Gary.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
So do we want to do Blake Dowdy and just do two
righties?
We can do that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Well, I like Robinson as one of my favorite players
ever in hockey for the Kings.
I mean, he just you knowwhether or not it's a career
thing he played three seasonsand 182 games for us and he
really helped.
He's just one of my favoriteplayers, just like the triple
crown line.
I didn't have Gretzky on myfirst line because I like these
guys.
That's the way I am.
I would vote Robinson, thenDowdy, but if you guys go Dowdy

(01:00:27):
and whatever it's two to one,I'm going to throw my hat to.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Robinson.
Let's look at everybody weagree on.
Robinson was a lefty too.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Robinson was a lefty too.
I know yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
We all agreed on Dowdy, we all agreed on Blake,
two of us agreed on Duchesne,two of us agreed on McSorley, on
McSorley.

Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
I'm fine putting McSorley in there, because I did
consider him.
I'm fine putting him in there.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
And two of us picked Larry Murphy, so we have Blake
Dowdy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
What do you guys think about the Robinson
addition?
Because you didn't considerthat.
But now that I've made my case,I mean, is it a?

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
compelling enough case or no.
I did think of him.
I don't know.
Maybe it's because he didn'tplay as many games with the
Kings.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
It's hard to be against a Hall of Famer Plus 722
, by the way, Career plus 722.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Probably got to be one of the highest.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
So we have Blake Dowdy.
Those were unanimous right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Yeah, go Blake Dowdy, and then I'm going to still
lobby for Robinson on the seconddefense line.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
Well, the ones we have, two, we have Duchesne.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
And now we've had a discussion and we've brought
more information.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
And we've had Murphy.
These are all the guys we had,too, we had McSorley.
You know I.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
McSorley over Larry Robinson.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
Well, we still need one more.
I'm going to vote for Nordstrom.

Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
Did anybody else have Nordstrom?
I'm just going with the ones wehad too.
I like Nordstrom, though I haveno problem with him.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
That's why it's a discussion though.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
That's why we are discussing it, though that's why
we are discussing it.
That's why I'm just throwingthe the what we've done so far.
I mean, we've already pickedthe gully, so we don't even have
to worry about that.
We can well, so we're havingtwo defensemen.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
Two lines of defense, correct.
Three oh three.
Okay, so we got blake, anddowdy is the first one, right?

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
right, I'm okay with that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Yeah, yeah, I'm good like okay so we all agree on
that, okay there's your firstdefensive line and then it's
just now we got.
I think, uh, larry murphy wouldbe on the second defense line.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Well, here are the guys that had two votes two of
the three of us, d Duchesne,Murphy and McSorley.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Okay, well, I'm nominating Larry Murphy to be on
the second line, so should wevote.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
I'm okay with that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:50):
Are you Eddie?
Not really, but I'm not goingto get upset about it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Who would?

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
you rather have as the first defenseman.
No, it's just going back to thewhole argument of having guys
on an all-time Kings team listthat weren't they were all-time
great players, but they weren'tall-time great Kings to me great
players, but they weren'tall-time great kings to me.
So it's just that whole, themost basic argument at the very

(01:04:21):
beginning of all this.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Well, where do you?
What's your line of demarcation, though?
You know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
Like gretzky only played 539 games, dave taylor
played 1100 dustin brown uhcopic I think, I think, if you,
I think, if your performance was, you know, if you were amongst
the best players at yourposition while you were with the
Kings and you, I don't know, Idon't have a number of games, I

(01:04:48):
don't know, like three seasonsto me, that was Robinson right.
Three seasons, yep, that's notmuch, you know what I mean.
I just I would say like if I,if you're going to make me pick,
I would say like maybe likefive seasons, something like
that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
So that eliminates Murphy, that eliminates a lot of
guys.
Correct Eliminates a lot ofpeople.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
Well, you know, to throw out a guy who played a lot
of games for the Kings.
Mark Hardy did, and I think,eddie, you're the only one that
picked him.

Speaker 4 (01:05:19):
Right, but he, he isn't a guy I'm going to like,
uh, he's not a guy that I'mgoing to go like.
No, he must be here.
You know?
No, I just I just like I saidhe wasn't even on my I wasn't
really considering him to begingoing into it.
But then when I just keptlooking at the stats and I kept
seeing his name and I keptseeing his name, I kept seeing
his name, I was like I rememberas a kid watching hardy play.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
I'm not like I said yeah, I'm not going to.

Speaker 4 (01:05:49):
Uh, he's not someone that I'm going to be like.
Oh yeah, he's, he's got to behere.
We can put somebody else,that's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
Let's look at Steve Duchesne Does anybody not think
Steve Duchesne should be on theteam.
He's something to consider.

Speaker 4 (01:06:09):
I would think we should put him on.
He was on mine, so I'm notgoing to argue with you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
There you go, shane.
Well, I mean, he played a lotof years with the Kings, so we
got an agreement on onedefenseman.

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
I'm fine putting larry robinson on.
I just like I said, I don'tknow I for me, for some reason
I'm more open to larry robinsonthan larry murphy, I don't know
why.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
So interesting but we got robinson on well, he's one
of the best that's ever played.
That's also good.
Classy guy Really mentored alot of the younger guys and was
a great leader for the team.
Just the smoothest skater I'veever seen, man.
So good.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
Two of us had Alex Martinez also.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
So put on Alex Martinez then.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
So we need one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
Go for that grit, go for the toughness.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
You want to go McSorley?

Speaker 4 (01:07:35):
You okay with McSorley.
Sure, eddie Sure.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Okay, so now we have our team.
Now we got to pick a penalty ortwo power play lines.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
We all agreed on quick right for the goaltender.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
Oh, quick and Vachon are the goalies.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Okay, there was no other one even considered no
argument on that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
So Power Play 1, what would you guys like to do?
We got a storehouse of greatPower Play players that we can
put on Line 1 and line 2.

Speaker 4 (01:08:26):
I'm open to whatever we want to do on this I have.
Is it going to be thetraditional?
I mean, you know what do we get?
We're going to do five forwards.
Are we going to do four?
Four forwards, one defenseman.
Are we going to do atraditional like, like nowadays?
It really is it's unusual tosee two defensemen out there.
Anyway, right, we can go, Iwould say here, but I just I
don't want to.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
I I don't want to do five, I mean two defensemen.
Uh, or force us to do twodefensemen.
We could do four forwards.
If you want, I'm fine with that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:54):
So let's, let's figure out, um so blake and
would blake and dowdy.
Let's start from thatstandpoint.
We'll split up blake and dowdyand have them be our two power
play quarterbacks, or I I I likeit all right what do you?

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
what about you, kevin ?
Good, uh, who do you want onthe first line guys?
Because I don't care either.

Speaker 4 (01:09:15):
One works for me uh, I would say I.
I would say, if you're gonnahave, I would say the first line
should be the, also the firstpower play unit, uh, group of
forwards.
So robitaille, gretzky and dion, I would say would be the, the,
and then we'll add anotherforward in there.

(01:09:36):
But I think, those three.
I think those three.
Yeah, I'm fine with Brown, puthim in there.

Speaker 5 (01:09:41):
You got to have that guy in front of the net, exactly
.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
Yeah, exactly, robitaille.
You want to balance it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
You got enough finishers right, you got enough
guys who can finish and thenguys who can finish.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
And you said you wanted Brown to be the presence
in front of the net.
Yeah, I'm good with that.
And what defenseman do we wantto be on the first line?

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
I would say Dowdy, but I'm not going to be upset.
Dowdy's good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
So that tells us who's going to be on number two.
It's going to be Blake, forsure.
And who do we want to put onthe second power play?

Speaker 4 (01:10:22):
I think Taylor's definitely out there.
Yes, kevin, talked aboutCharlie Simmer being that guy in
the front of the net, so puthim in there as well.
I like that so Kopitar.
Kopitar yes I agree, kempe inthere as well.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
I like that, so copetar, copetar yes, I agree um
can't pay.

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
Can't pay or nickels, all nickels, I would say.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Nickels, then is that enough, or can we put them both
up there?
I'm lost count.
Uh, that would be it.
So it's gretzky d Dion,Robitaille Brown, Dowdy, Kopitar
, Taylor, Nichols, Simmer andBlake.
I think we're going to score alot of power play goals.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Just keep an eye on Cody, because he doesn't have a
chance unless there's a fingeron the scale a little bit.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:11:10):
Well, he's a Ducks fan, so you can never discount
that Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
He'll just rerun it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
I can guarantee you he wouldn't do that.

Speaker 5 (01:11:23):
I know I am still here, you know, I can hear and
see everything.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Tell your dad to just get a.
You know, chill out man.
He's just busting his chops alittle bit here, so let's go
with our penalty kill who youknow chill out man.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
He's just busting his chops a little bit here.
So let's, let's, let's go,let's go with our penalty.
Kill who, who?
Uh, I mean my thought would bekopitar and kempe on the first
pk.

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
Forwards with what blake and dowdy I have no issue
with that at all well, wait aminute, you have blake on but
the only thing I would say ispenalty is.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
That.
Is that I'm fine with that.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
That doesn't bother me, that doesn't bother me.
Well, but I would say are we?
You know, because I don't knowlike I'm guessing, marcel dion
did not kill penalties.
I don't know that he's not good, he did not kill penalties.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
I don't know that for a fact.
He did not.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
I'm just saying we may need to go ahead and just
eliminate who's not even inconsideration for it.
Like Luke and Marcel, they'renot going to be on the peak.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Gretzky is not going to be on the penalty kill.
So you got Kopitar, dave Taylor, dustin Brown, brown, kempe.
Carter Gretzky's not going tobe on the penalty, so you got.
Kopitar, you got Taylor Dave.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
Taylor, dustin Brown Brown, kempe Carter.
I don't remember Simmer beingthere.
I can't remember if Mike Murphyis or not, but Kempe Brown,
kempe Brown, kopitar and Carter.
Where's Dave Taylor?

(01:12:58):
Dave Taylor was well, we couldput him on there.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
So we have those options.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
So Kopitar Taylor he was tough.
Kempe Brown Carter.
So we need to pick four ofthose five Kempe Brown.

Speaker 4 (01:13:19):
Carter.
So we need to pick four ofthose five.
Kempe and Kopitar, I think,definitely are out there.
So that would be.
Who was it, taylor Brown?
And who was the other one,carter Carter.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
I don't remember if Dave Taylor killed penalties or
not, so you guys, I'd have todefer maybe to Kevin on that one
.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Yeah, he was the guy that was going to just kill the
penalties.
Go in the corner, root out thepuck.
He was a tough guy.
He was the guy in the corner.
He was the guy that would getboarded and still hold the puck
under his skate so you couldn'tdo anything with it.
That's a guy, a great.
I like my grit guys.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
He was a total grit dude, then let's do uh brown and
taylor instead of, and carteris out okay, what about uh, our
defenseman uh?
Norstrom, I think, well, Ithink norstrom.
If he's Norstrom, I think, well, I think Norstrom.
If he's even on the, is he onthe team?

(01:14:18):
He's not, he's not Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
So I know Dowdy does it.
He kills penalties right.

Speaker 4 (01:14:30):
Yeah, but wasn't didn't we already say it was he
and he and Blake would be?
Are we splitting them up or arewe keeping them together?

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
We could do whatever we want.
We could do two differentdefensemen on the second penalty
kill.
You want to do Blake and Dowdy.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
I mean sure, Whatever , sure.
I don't know who the other twoare going to be, though.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
Well, if we're going to include Robinson, you've got
to consider him.
You've got one of the topplayers in the history of the
game.
If he's going to be consideredplus 722.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
Was he a penalty killer Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
He was plus 722.
He did everything.
It's Larry Robinson now.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
And we want to put Larry on.
I'm okay with that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:19):
All right Good.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
We have Martinez Duchesne McSorley Left.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
Well, duchesne was an offensive defenseman either.
Uh, what's that martinez guyright?
Why don't you do?

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
that alex martinez, part of the two stanley cup
champions exactly I don'tremember.
Was mcsorley a penalty killer?

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
I don't.
I think he was out there whenwayne was out there, man I don't
think.

Speaker 4 (01:15:52):
I don't think so, but know, what.
We may have to make aconcession.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
What do we want to do ?
Mcsorley or Martinez, I'm goodwith either one.

Speaker 4 (01:16:03):
Let's go, martinez, there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
So we'll leave McSorley to protect Gretzky.
Now we need to come up with acoach, a GM and then a
home-and-away jersey.
That was a surprise when theydid it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:31):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
Sutter for the coach.

Speaker 4 (01:16:33):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't know that it's hard to go
against, uh, Lombardi andSutter as your combination there
, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
I agree, we got the cup, baby.
Well, we, we got this donepretty, uh pretty quick on this
part.
Um, what jerseys do you guyslike?

Speaker 4 (01:17:00):
well kevin will probably be thrilled to know
that I I wish the kings would goback to the forum.
Blue and gold, yeah, becausethat certainly seems his uh, his
jam, absolutely.
So I'm more than happy to uh totake that into consideration.
My favorite jersey.
Hold on a second.
I've got a prop here.
I didn't do this on purpose, bythe way.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
That's okay.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
Do it anyway.
If we can go back to somethinglike this, I would be thrilled.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Nice, nice.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
Okay, winner, winner chicken dinner.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
That's the reverse retro from the last time they
had it, which was?
Was it two years ago?
I think it was two years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:17:45):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
That's the away Jersey right Reverse retro away.

Speaker 5 (01:17:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
What about a home?
Jersey guys?
What about a home?

Speaker 4 (01:17:55):
jersey, guys.
I mean, if we want to, if wewant to, like, honor both halves
, maybe we should have a blackand gold jersey for the, for the
home jersey.
If we don't have one of each,why not?
I don't know well they.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
They did win the cup with that, yeah yeah, I would.

Speaker 4 (01:18:18):
Personally, I would rather go with the gretzky era
silver and black, because that'swhen I became a kings fan.
So that's near and dear to myheart.
If we're going to go.
If we're going to go with, ifwe're going to go with the
silver and black.
I never liked that home platelogo.
I know we won two cups with it.
It's the one that's behind ourillustrious host there.

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
But I just, I just liked the background.
It wasn't the home plate.
What do you?

Speaker 4 (01:18:50):
think.
Well, I, I, I, I do love thereverse retro one yeah, I I
that's a winner, winner I said amillion times on my show, I
always am in favor of the crownon the front of the jersey.
That should always be the case.
What, what, what style of crownyou want to put on there, I'm

(01:19:12):
willing to listen, but I I justthink the crown should always be
there.
I didn't care for that shieldthey used to have, didn't care
for the home plate, so I I'm infavor of any kind of a crown you
put on there so the silver andblack from gretzky era, didn't?
that was what was that that'strue, that was the chevy logo

(01:19:32):
yeah, that, that's the one youwant, right there.

Speaker 5 (01:19:36):
So why don't you guys ?
If you guys want to do the formblue with the new school, why
don't you just pick the one thatmy dad's wearing as the home?

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
No, so that's the.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
I think it's settled.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Yeah, we want the crown right.
We want it in both how aboutthis one.
Yeah, that one's better.
I like it.
Let's do that.

Speaker 4 (01:20:05):
Got the crown, but it's also kind of honoring a
different era, and I love purple.
That's, I just love the purple.
So we got to get a purple inthere, right?
Kevin?

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
I'm good with that.
I love it with the crown forsure.
All right, good job, that waseasy.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
That's because you guys are smart.
Didn't have to edumacate youvery much Edumacate.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
Really Well guys, good job.

Speaker 4 (01:20:39):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
Does anybody know who has the best plus minus in
King's history?

Speaker 5 (01:20:48):
As a.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
King as a King, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:20:52):
What's the criteria for as a King?

Speaker 4 (01:21:01):
Yeah, it's true, only numbers a king.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
I don't what's the criteria for as a king?
Yeah, only numbers, while he,while he was in a king's uniform
, right, right, correct, correct.
Hmm, he's on our team, by theway.
I'm gonna say dave taylor, whatabout you?
Eddie kopitaritar?
It is Dave Taylor, like 186.
I was surprised when I wasdoing my research for this, when

(01:21:25):
I looked that up.
I was going to put it onanother episode, but I thought
it just works today.
I was going to see if Cody knewthat.
Nope.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
No, he was.
He was a great, great player.
He doesn't get it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:41):
I was number two, by the way, but he was a distant
second.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
Yeah.
Yeah Well, cobra car more games, by the way, many, many more
games.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
It's going to be a sad day when Kofi leaves, so
he's pretty much been myfavorite player since for his
whole career.

Speaker 4 (01:22:04):
So well, it's been cool to see him from day one.
For me, um, didn't, obviouslythere were, you know, didn't see
day dion play, uh, I what wasrobotized rookie year?
Uh, I don't.
I don't think I saw luke'sfirst year.
I was, I saw a lot of him earlyon, but not I don't think I was
there from day one.
So cool to see.

(01:22:25):
Yeah, uh, kopey from day onerobotai was 86 87.
yeah, that was.
That was before my time I gotin.
I got in in the early 90s, sohe'd been in the league for a
while.

Speaker 5 (01:22:37):
Probably missed his his better seasons, to be honest
who'd you guys pick for yourgeneral manager and coach?
Again lombardi and sutter yeahI mean I don't know why I
thought you're gonna go withbarry melrose for a second no,
because you, because you're aDucks fan.

Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
That's why that has nothing to do with the.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
Ducks.

Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
He did take him into the Stanley Cup.
They just didn't win it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
He did, but Because of the freaking stick thing in
Montreal, right.

Speaker 1 (01:23:08):
Well, everybody wants to blame it on that, but there
were games after that?
Yeah well, so it is what it is.
Yeah well, it is what it is.
Cody's got some work to do now,Don't know how.

Speaker 5 (01:23:23):
I'm going to do it, but I'll figure it out.
He does a great job for me.

to play for team canada?
It makes no sense, was thatcole?
Caulfield one of them cole,caulfield, dust, dustin wolf and
uh who was.
There was one other one.
I'm like why aren't these guyson the uh canadian?

(01:26:13):
Well, because they're Americans, idiot.

another podcast.
I was like wait, was it Cole,Hudson or Hudson?

Speaker 4 (01:26:24):
Oh yeah, it was Lane Hudson.
