The long NHL offseason is finally ending as hockey prepares its return with the upcoming Rookie Faceoff tournament featuring the future stars of the Kings and Ducks organizations. We break down the latest news surrounding both teams, including Mason McTavish's contract negotiations in Anaheim and Adrian Kempe's extension talks in Los Angeles.
Both teams have revealed their Rookie Faceoff rosters packed with promising talent. The Ducks will showcase 2024 first-round pick Beckett Seneca, Norwegian defenseman Stian Solberg, and several other high-end prospects. Meanwhile, the Kings' roster features standouts like Liam Greentree, Henry Brzezic, and Jack Hughes (not to be confused with the Devils star). We'll be attending the Kings-Ducks rookie matchup next Sunday at El Segundo and invite listeners to join us!
The podcast takes a creative turn as we design fantasy expansion teams for each NHL division, complete with custom jerseys and logos. From the Milwaukee Moose and Richmond Rockets to the San Antonio Rattlers and Portland Pioneers, we explore what NHL expansion might look like across America. These hypothetical franchises spark discussions about which cities could realistically support NHL teams in the future.
We also dive into significant NHL news, including major changes to the collective bargaining agreement. Starting this season, a new playoff salary cap will eliminate the infamous "Vegas loophole" that allowed teams to exceed the cap during postseason play. Additional CBA changes regarding LTIR benefits, contract retention, and potentially allowing 19-year-olds in the AHL could dramatically alter how teams manage their rosters moving forward.
Don't miss our upcoming coverage of the Patriots Golf Tournament on September 20th in Temecula, where we'll be interviewing participants and supporting this important veterans' cause. Registration closes September 18th, so there's still time to sign up and participate in this worthy event.

ever the world famous HarryDoyle played.

was the whole reason that wenton our podcast today, because
she knows that's one of myfavorite things ever.
Anyways, welcome back fans.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's probably still one of the best sayings, but not
it's one of my favorite, butnot my favorite from that those
movies and I know I've alreadysaid on the podcast yeah, women,

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I'm doing good, I'm happy it's the weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Happy we're doing this right now.
Yeah, yeah, you know the littleproject that we did, definitely
.
Well, I was thinking of CaptainChaos, adam, as I weirdly
(02:45):
introduced our podcast this week.
Sometimes I go totally off thewall.
I can say a little bit ofinspiration from you, bro.
Anyways, yeah, doing the, we'llget to that.
Why don't we go right to newsand I'll say what I was going to
say when we get to the part?
Okay, definitely broke up myweek and made me smile.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You want to do King's News first or Duck's News first
?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, we have that in our notes.
Duck's first, let's go Duck's.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Well, that's just because I just copy and paste,
so that way it's not as troublefor me.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
So the lazy part of the Royally Quack podcast will
go first.
Oh, the lazy part.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I'll let you do everything from now on and see
if you can call that lazyanymore, anyways, but we'll get
this thing rolling.
We'll start with the Ducksducks news some shocking news, I
would say.
To start.
I was not expecting this, butthe anaheim ducks have placed
defenseman rodwin denisio onwaivers for the purpose of a
(03:55):
mutual contract termination.
Denisio's contract has beenofficially terminated after he
cleared waivers.
Dionisio is a highly giftedoffensive defenseman who was
drafted in the fifth round ofthe 2023 NHL draft.
Dionisio was regularly in thegoals lineup.
Then there were, there wasreports began to be issues with
(04:19):
the player and the team, whichled to him only playing three
games in last December,following a month.
Denis, who got suspended twice,which he lit, which led to him
immediately getting assignedback to the echl and then he got
sent to play in switzerland.
So wow, yeah, and this issomeone that I was actually kind
(04:41):
of looking forward to, like oneof those kind of dark horses
later in the draft that you andstuff like that, but I guess he
was just a locker room cancer.
It sounds like.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That definitely sounds like that, you know
getting suspended twice in onemonth.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I think one was like he spit on a player, I believe
One of his teammates.
No, he spit on, I don't know ifit was one of his teammates or
another team or the other team,but either way you can't be
doing that he must have uhinspired carter to spit on dac.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, I don't know if you saw dac started that first
he said he didn't spit, though II didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
There was a replay where it showed dac spitting
something towards Carter.
I saw a replay of someone'slike see Dak started it first.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
He didn't get suspended, did he?
Did Carter get suspended?
He did?
Oh Well, he got ejected.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I would have thought that I'm like dude.
He spit on me.
First Check the tapes.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I'm sure there's going to be an inquiry through
the whole thing to see exactlyall that happened.
And then today, you just neverknow you could be on video.
You know, at the grocery storescreaming at someone who you
know ran over your foot orsomething, and you just never
(06:05):
know.
That's one thing like thing.
When we were officiating, theystarted telling us I've got to
be careful what you say and whatyou do, because any of these
parents could be videotaping you.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Next bit of news is Roger McQueen at the Combine
with the Providence Friars,starting his new NCAA career.
He was measured at 6.5 inches.
I'm sorry, 6 foot 5 inchesActually, no sorry, last season
(06:41):
he was 6 foot 5 and now he'sbeen measured at 6'6.
Going into camp with theProvidence Friars.
And just a reminder howeveryone said that Ray Aaron
Getzloff was a big, intimidatingpower forward.
Getzloff was only 6'4".
Speaker 2 (06:56):
His center.
He was a center what Getzloff?
Getzloff was a center.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I said power forward.
Yeah, power forwards should bewingers and centers.
I said power forward, I didn'tsay winger or center.
I know Getzloff was the center,obviously.
I know that.
Come on.
I said power forward.
One more time, power forward.
(07:22):
I'm kind of glad that he did dothe college route.
I think that's great for hisdevelopment and everything like
that.
You know he can get more timepracticing, more time in the
weight room, uh, building that.
You know six foot six body ofhis to be in NHL shape.
(07:44):
If it takes him another year,then that's fine.
I don't think the Ducks needhim up right away.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
anyways, he's probably going to be two or
three years because he's stillgrowing.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I would say if he doesn't make it next year, it's
going to be the year after, notthis upcoming season, but the
season after that, so probably,like the 2027, you'll probably
see him in a Ducks uniform.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
We will see.
Hopefully, that would be great,because they're going to need
someone to check by field whilewe play each other.
Yeah, true.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Last thing yesterday on the 32 thoughts podcast,
elliot friedman said I'veconsistently heard over the last
little while that they are notcrazy about bridging mctavish.
Now maybe that will change,maybe they'll do it, but I've
heard they prefer long-term.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So it's term, not money.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That's what it sounds like.
It sounds like more term thananything.
I guess McTavish wants a bridgedeal so that way he can get
paid more later on, because, ifyou think about it, the Ducks
still have a lot of players thatare going to be doing big
contracts soon Carlson Cutter,minty Zellweger there was
(09:09):
another one, who was it?
Crap, who is it?
I know I'm missing somebodyelse, but, like I said, four big
players already right therethat are going to be due new
contracts next season.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Actually, Well, if you're a team, you want to lock
the guy up.
I can understand what the ducksare doing yeah.
But if you're the player, Iwant a bridge deal.
I want to make more money later.
I believe in myself.
That's what you're hearing.
Yeah, I believe in myself.
That's what you're hearing.
I believe in myself and,believe it or not, there would
(09:52):
be a lot of people interested ingetting McTavish.
They can't come to reason andget a contract going.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I just hope that McTavish signs sooner than later
, just because we have a brandnew coaching staff coming in.
And if you really think aboutit, this literally happened two
years ago.
Brand new coaching staff camein.
New head coach Zagreus andDrysdale needed to be re-signed
(10:23):
and they both waited till almostthe last possible minute to
sign.
So they missed all of trainingcamp, they missed a couple
pre-season games and then afterthat they were just always hurt.
I don't want that to repeat andI get.
This is why I get, why, youknow, um, the Ducks fans on
social media are getting veryannoyed because we feel like
(10:45):
this is going to happen again.
And I totally get it.
I don't want that to happen.
I want McTavish to sign now.
So I was just hoping that Iwould get a pop up saying oh,
mctavish sign.
You know, just praying thatwould happen.
That'd been kind of funny.
That way he can get down hereto socal, get to uh know the new
(11:10):
coaches and everything, workwith them and and then that way
he doesn't miss any time withthe new coaches, is in all the
practices, all the training camp, all the you know whatever
pre-season games he needs to bein.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So yeah, I understand , but and that's all I have for
uh ducks news well, let's go toking's news and you know, in a
similar matter we have um.
Adrian kempe is gonna be a isgoing to be an unrestricted free
(11:45):
agent at the end of this nextcoming season and they're in
contract talks and I haven'theard it.
It's about term at all.
It's about money.
He wants $10 million andthey're going to play hardball
(12:06):
with him for a little bit.
I go.
You know you're going to beseeing probably Connor McDavid
making somewhere between $17 and$20 million when they re-sign
him.
I wouldn't doubt it With thecap keep going up, money is
(12:27):
going up and Even though Maybehe's not the biggest scoring guy
but how many guys Are two-wayplayers like Kempe is?
I mean, he's A stellar defenderand he's a Got a wicked shot,
(12:51):
and if you don't believe that,just ask any of the duck
skullies in the past that playedagainst him, because he's a
duck killer he's a Gibson killer, we need to get him signed,
just as bad as you guys need toget McTavish signed.
So both teams are.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
No, you still have kempe for the season under
contract.
Mctavish is not under contract?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
yeah, but we we don't put him under contract.
He could just play it out therest of year and when we don't
have kempe this year so it's I'mtalking similar and getting
them signed.
So let's move on.
You know the NHL 26 game cameout with player ratings and I'm
going to go over really quickhere what the Kings are and this
(13:34):
is in order of how highlythey're ranked Kempe is at 88,
which I think he should probablybe at least 90.
Kopitar 88.
Dowdy 88.
Kemper and Fiala at 87.
Then you have Deneau andByfield ratings at 86.
Clark and Anderson at 85.
(13:56):
Trevor Moore at an 84.
Warren Fogle also at 84.
Laferriere at 83.
Kuzmenko 82.
Dumlin 82.
Forsbergriere at 83.
Kuzmenko 82.
Dumlin 82.
Forsberg 81.
Sorry, I got a CeCe in 81.
Armia and Edmondson 81.
(14:16):
Turcotte and Perry at 80.
Perry is only at an 80?
.
Guy scored 19 goals last yearfor the Edmonton Oilers.
So you know those are just theratings for them and you know
you guys can see that on Mayor'sManor.
You'll see it if you go toMayor's Manor on the internet
(14:44):
and you can see that foryourselves.
Also, on Kings of the Podcastthis last week, jordan Spence
said his goodbyes to everyoneand it was very classy.
He was very classy about it.
He even went to Warren Fogle,got married and then now I'm
(15:14):
blanking on who else got marriedby the king for the Kings.
Oh, mikey Anderson's wedding,and he went to both of them.
Well, no, we're talking aboutJordan, Spence Adam.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
No, he's talking about the NHL player ratings.
Sorry I'm a little behind.
And mom also said what do thesenumbers mean?
It's just their overall ratingsin the hockey game.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, there's more to it.
That's their average ratingthat each player gets.
You know where?
I think McDavid was a 99, right.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
McDavid was a 97.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Was anybody a 99?
No, well, if McJesus is a 99,nobody's going to be there.
Well, anyways, back to the news.
A lot of people don't realizethat this could be a big waiver
loss season for the Kings.
I'm going to go over some ofthe minor names right now Glenn
(16:12):
Godden, logan Brown, cole Cutman, joe Hicketts, samuel Bowden,
phoenix Copley would be a biggerone.
Martin Kromiak, sammy HelleniusCopley would be a bigger one,
martin Chromiak, Sammy Hellenius, andre Lee, jeff Mallott, akil
Thomas, kyle Burrows and JacobMoverari.
Now some of those guys are goingto be on the Kings roster as
(16:36):
maybe an extra forward or anextra defender, but there's only
room, I think, for one extradefender.
So it's either more Ferrari oror Burroughs, and I'm betting on
more Ferrari.
So, and other Kings news, thereis still a possibility for Liam
Greentree that he could playfor the rain this year, because
(16:58):
they are in talks between theNHL and the CHL to bring what's
going to happen next year, maybea year earlier, which would
really help players like GreenTree, and even back at Seneca,
if he doesn't make the Ducksroster, because going back to
(17:19):
the OHL I mean, dang Green Treehad 49 goals and 119 points.
He has nothing else to prove inthe OHL.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Neither does Seneca.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Well, yeah, and they were both All-Stars in the OHL.
Anyways, that's Kings news forthis week and we'll go on to
league news Cody.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yep, I just got a phone.
We'll skip that first one, um,but marco scandela has
officially retired fromprofessional hockey at the age
of 35 okay, derrick ryan hasalso officially retired at the
age of 38.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And then?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
we'll uh.
The Philadelphia Flyers haveacquired forward Tucker
Robertson from Seattle Crackingin exchange for forward John
Randall Rondell Avon.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Avon Collie oh god, no, not that again.
The Minnesota Wilders Signingex duck brett leeson to uh, uh
tryout I, I wish, uh, uh.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Here's uh what he said hicketts won't make the
roster, not anymore well, hewon't make the nhl roster for
sure.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, so he's going to be on waivers.
A lot of those first guys areall guys that are definitely
going to be on waivers, adam, umsome of those later guys.
Some of them still have achance to make the nhl roster
yeah helenius I, I would think,was going to make it, and it's
either more or burrows, unlesssomebody blows Hiller's socks
(19:08):
off and moves above them.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah.
And then next big news ActuallyI forgot to say I wish, at
least in the best, I hope he canmake the Minnesota Wild.
I wish the Ducks would have hadhim re-signed as, like, the
13th forward.
I think he would have been agood fit with us, especially if
you know the ducks.
I'm just saying if the ducks domake the playoffs he's a group.
(19:35):
I think he would be a great uhfourth liner to play in the
playoffs.
He just has that kind of uhplate for you know, for him and
everything.
So I wish him the best there.
I really do.
I always liked Brett Leeson.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
And then next big news is the Flames have
re-signed RFA forward ConnorZari to a three-year 3.775
million AAV contract extensionand Michael Russo is reporting
that the Minnesota Wild andKirill Kaprizov are inching
(20:13):
closer towards an eight-yearextension, stating that he heard
the sides are close.
He believes it will come inaround $128 million and that's
16 mil AAV.
So he would be the highest paidplayer until McDavid resigns
(20:37):
Currently.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Well, I mean dry saddles currently, but I think
that deal won't start till nextseason.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah Well, that's boosting McDavid's chance to get
to $20 million.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
See, I don't think that he's going to do the $20
million.
I mean, yeah, he can easily getthe $20 million a year.
I think he could.
But I think he knows, if hedoes that, the chances of the
Oilers, you know, building abetter team around him will be
harder.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah, take a hometown discount to be competitive.
Pull a Tom Brady Exactly, hedid that quite a bit.
And look at seven Super Bowls,jesus.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Next, we got a blockbuster trade here.
Next we got a blockbuster tradehere.
The montreal canadians havetraded carrie price to the san
jose.
Oh sorry, carrie price and a2026 fifth round pick to the
sharks in exchange fordefenseman gannon laroque.
But I'm just kidding, it's nota blockbuster trade.
(21:47):
Um, they're just contract thatway they can be under the cap.
And since they did that, theCanadians now have just under
$4.6 million in projected capspace per Puckpedia.
It was just a money move.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, and sad news for hockey.
Former Montreal Canadiensgoaltender, ken Dryden, has
passed away at the age of 78following a battle with cancer.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I would probably say he's definitely one of the best
goalies in NHL history.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, no doubt about that.
I mean, I can remember watchingthem play.
I can't say the same, I know,unfortunately, you can't do that
.
So anyways.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
And then let's go back to the NHL and NHLPA
Collective bargaining agreement,so they're actually starting
Some of the new CBA rules thisseason.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Kind of what.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I talked about which one?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Oh yeah, the U19 having a 19-year-old in the AHL,
yeah they're trying to workthat out because they realize
it's really oh yeah, he was okayout.
Because they realize it'sreally.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Oh yeah, he was okay Adam.
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Captain of chaos strikes again.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, no kidding.
So here are the new rulesstarting this season From the
new CBA that's going to startthis season.
The new playoff salary cap isstarting this year the playoff
salary cap.
So no more you know, kachuk isout and then game 83, bam, he's
(23:46):
back in and you could be overthe cap.
Nope, you have to be capcompliant and it's full cap hit.
It's not like the percentage ofthe cap anymore, it's full cap
hit for everything so so it's areal cap instead of just a
circumvented uh cap yeah, so,and then if a player is, I want
(24:12):
to say I want to say it's theaverage salary pay was like 3.8
million.
So what is gonna do, what'sgonna happen is, if a player is
hurt and he can't and he has achance to come back, you can use
, I think, the 3.8 million.
Um, I'm sorry, just if you guysgo listen to the 32 thoughts,
(24:36):
elliot explains it a lot bettertoo, so hopefully you know that
will help.
But here's also the new, thenew rules uh, changes to the
ltir.
Reducing the benefits a teamreceives an ltir no deferred
compensation, effective october7th 2025.
(24:59):
Uh, restriction on paper loans.
Restriction on second retentionon traded contracts.
So now you, there is no morelike three teams trades where
one team takes on half percentand the other one takes half
percent, kind of thing.
So there's no more of that.
The 19 year old one hasn't beenimplemented yet.
(25:27):
They're still.
They got to have an agreementwith uh, the chl to do that
first right otherwise that wouldbe great.
Uh, yeah, there you go.
The the vegas cheaters loopholeis closed.
There you go.
That's a.
That's a good example rightthere.
And then the four recall rule I, I'm guessing you can only
(25:49):
recall a player four times andthen this one will start the
next year prior to the 2026-2027.
Drafted player rightsretentions for 2026.
Draft Minor league compensationlimits March 1st.
Nhl minimum salary increaseseffective March 1st.
(26:12):
Ecl contract limits also March1st.
Mandatory neck protectionstarts on July 1st and
entry-level eligibility forEuropean players is also March
1st, and then everything elsewill stay on.
Time is also March 1st, andthen everything else will stay
on time.
The only one we're iffy onright now is the AHL 19-year-old
(26:35):
player thing, like what we weretalking about for Green Tree
and Seneca, because if they canget that going, then Seneca and
Green Tree are both going to bein the AHL this next year, like
this season.
Well, they should be in the NHL.
And then, last but not least,for the league news, three teams
(26:58):
have came out with new uniforms.
I'm going to put them up here.
So if you guys want to go seethe new uniforms, head over to
YouTube and Twitch.
Give us a follow and check itout, live with us.
So here is the Kraken's newblack third jersey, and they
will be playing the Ducks inthis jersey.
(27:18):
They will be playing the Ducksin this jersey.
What is it?
I have it here somewhere.
Here it is.
They'll be playing them onJanuary 23rd against the ducks
and none against the kings.
Um, so here and then here's aclose-up on the logo and then,
(27:42):
last but not least, it is also aglow-in-the-dark jersey.
Oh cool and then they don't playin the dark yeah, exactly, but
maybe when they come in, whenplayers start skating around
during the player intros andeverything, it'll probably look
pretty cool, because usuallyit's all blacked out around that
(28:04):
time.
Yeah, true, and then theCarolina Hurricanes have
continued their weird style ofuniforms.
They don't like to just havethe same type of uniform, they
like to change.
Like, every single jersey theyhave is different.
You know, they have the blackone with the hurricane flag on
(28:27):
it.
Then this is their new awayuniform, right here, this white
with the.
It looks like they copied thelogo from their stadium series
logo a couple years ago.
And then their third jersey isjust their old home jersey with
the red one with the red.
Like I said, they can't decidewhat design they want, what they
(28:50):
want to do for their, uh, theirlooks.
And then here's another look ofit.
And then I do like the patches,I stormy the pig outfit or the
patch.
And then, last but not least,is the senators have come out
with a third jersey, with a new,third alternate jersey.
(29:12):
I, I really like this one.
This one's my favorite out ofthe three.
You know, I I don't know, Ijust I think it looks really
clean.
I like the red.
I I kind of wish the uh.
I do like the uh.
Um, I missed the red look forthe senators just because that
was like their go-to, but I dolike their black jerseys.
(29:36):
Adam says Seattle has amazinguniforms.
Carolina's is terrible and Ican agree with that.
I like Ottawa's a little bitmore than Seattle's.
Seattle's looks too close tolike the San Jose third jerseys
and the was a little bit morethan Seattle.
Seattle's looks too close tolike the San Jose third jerseys
and the Rangers third jerseys,in my opinion.
And then next up, we got therookie face-off preview.

up yeah, but there are timesthey do have people that don't
(40:07):
suit up.

last year.

I think it was three Might havebeen four, it's like there's
something in the Czech water.
Come to Anaheim, that's what'sin the water.
Come to Anaheim, that's what'sin the water.
I'm excited and I'm glad to leteveryone know that we will be

(40:58):
Come join us.
You want to predict the gamestoo.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
It's a rookie face-off.
I don't know who San Jose isgoing to have playing.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I really don't know a lot of the.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Duck guys.
Some of these guys I don't evenknow on the.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Kings, do you want to at least predict the Ducks
versus Kings game?
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Okay, sure.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
What's your prediction?
Speaker 2 (41:31):
No, you go first your prediction no, you go first.
I'm gonna say four, two ducksI'm gonna say four, two kings,
oh, okay copycat.
No, I wasn't copying, that'sexactly what I had in my head
when I sure, or?
You.
Even we decided who was goingfirst.
Hey, we have different teamswinning.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
That's true, all right, and then you want to go
to the fun part of the podcastnow.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah, this was a lot of fun to do.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
I actually got to design uniforms and pick colors
and try to pick teams.
I think we should leave thePacific for the last.
What do you think?
Or?
Speaker 1 (42:15):
do you have it in an?
Speaker 2 (42:16):
order.
We can do it.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
You just tell me and I can put those ones up.
Mom says five, three ducks.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Mom staying home.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Hey, I bought the tickets, mom's going.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Let's start with the atlantic and let's each of us
pick our teams before we move on.
Okay, so I had I had picked twodifferent teams in the atlantic
, and one of them would havebeen the Quebec Nordiques, which
I didn't pick any uniforms foror anything else I'm assuming we
(42:56):
could have gotten logos and allthat stuff from their prior
ones but I chose the RichmondRockets instead.
Richmond is in Virginia, so nowVirginia would have a team.
Hey, you know, the Roger Ebertof hockey might not be the one
(43:21):
that would be lucky enough.
Wait, if she decided not to go.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Would the Richmond Rockets be an Atlantic team, or
would your other team be more ofan?
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Atlantic team.
I think they could go eitherway.
I would say it's the other wayaround you think that would be
Metro then.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
I think that would be Metro.
So you want to do Metro?
Let's do Metro first, sinceyou're already talking about it.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Okay, so the Richmond Rockets I mean, and I even
looked at the population.
Richmond Rockets, I mean, and Ieven looked at the population,
it's 226,000 people in Richmond,but the outlying areas is like
1.7 million, so it's viable forany kind of sports team to play
(44:05):
there.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
And the colors for this team maroon, white and
black.
So here here are the, and thankyou for adam for getting me on
this website now.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
I can't stop making jerseys I gotta tell you that is
so much fun.
Oh god, I had such a good timemaking the jerseys, so, so that
is the Richmond Rockets.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
That's the home and then away.
Yes, I got lazy with the number.
Just ignore the numbers, Justfocus on, like you know, more of
the jersey and pants.
I guess I was lazy with thenumbers.
I'm not going to deny it.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Well, yeah, funny, you pick 97.
Who wears number 97?
Speaker 1 (44:52):
that's just the standard on there yeah, well, of
course mom loves the colors.
And then, adam, you're welcome.
All right, so you have your,your metro team.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
So you want me to do my metro team okay, did you now,
if you had other, any otherteams?
I actually had at least oneother team with a team name.
Pick Okay.
And then in the QuebecNordiques, that's Atlantic.
Okay, the Cleveland Crusaders.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
See, I had a Cleveland team.
I just couldn't come up with ateam name so I kind of gave up
so I went with a different one.
So the reason I went with thisteam is one I try to find teams
that already had a arena set uptoo in a way.
So I picked the IndianapolisSpeed.
(45:48):
You know, you can kind of go onwith the Indy 500, with NASCAR
and everything.
Um, the logo I just kind offound off of Google and
everything.
The colors I tried to make likecloser, like NASCAR, kind of
looking like flames.
Um, I thought the gray was agood touch with the red and
(46:12):
orange, and then that's the homejerseys, and then you got the
away jerseys and I and I wouldhave them wear the red helmets
too.
I'm just saying I think thatwould look good with the away
jerseys, especially with thehome jerseys.
I think with the home jerseys Ithink they can wear the.
I don't know if a red wouldlook good with these ones.
(46:34):
But yeah, this was my Metro one.
I had a Cleveland one.
I had another city.
I want to say it was likeCincinnati was another one, but
this one they could play wherethe Pacers play.
So you already have a arena.
So that's why I chose and Ithought it was a good touch to
(46:54):
have a race car themed team atthe same time Very creative.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
Yep, so now your Atlantic team.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
My Atlantic team, the Atlantic Crusher Crashersers.
They're the crashers, not, yeah, crushers would have been okay
too you just had a.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
You had to create a team that was had a rhyming
thing with the thrashers I did.
I don't know why so here arethe jerseys that you made the
concept for.
Yeah, I know it wasn't the logoyou picked, but it was.
I couldn't find anything, so Ijust found one off of Google.
So here's the home.
(47:38):
You want to continue?
Why Atlanta?
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah, Well, it has a population of 518,000 in Atlanta
, 1.5 million in the surroundingarea.
Colors were blue, gray, whiteand black and you know, chances
are we're going to probably geta team in Atlanta again.
I would think We've had what?
(48:02):
The Flames and then theBrashers, mm-hmm.
So and what about you, cody?
Speaker 1 (48:15):
so my atlantic team.
All I cheated on this.
It was late, I was tired, I hada hard time picking a metro
team, um, so I just brought backthe quebec nordiques.
So I just brought back theQuebec Nordiques.
I'll admit I was lazy, I'm notgoing to deny it.
So here's their home.
(48:36):
Like I said, and I think itwould be great to have the
Nordiques back.
I know everyone said they wouldlike to have them back, but I
was, like I said, lazy, but Ikind of I've always wanted the
Nordiques to come back.
(48:56):
So that was my Atlantic team.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
Okay, so now to the Central.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
To the Central.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Okay, so I had three choices here the Omaha
Outlanders, the OKC Pioneers orthe Milwaukee Moose, and I chose
the Milwaukee Moose.
Population 551,000.
Surrounding area another 1.7million colors green, black and
(49:32):
white and gold.
So yes, it does look like thegreen Bay Packers.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
The green Bay Packers no honestly I, so I did make
the logo off of Canva and Ihonestly it looks cool the way
it looks with the green and theyellow and the white, and and I
honestly it looks cool the wayit looks with the green and the
yellow and the white andeverything.
Honestly, this was a great pick.
You know, I was thinkingMilwaukee and, too, for one of
(50:04):
them, I'm not too fond of theway jerseys as much.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
Yeah, they're all right.
I do like the home jerseys, thehome is a lot better.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
I will say that the home is a lot better.
So, with my central team, Iwanted to choose something a
little different.
They do have a basketball teamthere.
They've already been favoritedto have another team in the area
.
I didn't go with Houston.
(50:35):
I thought about OKC.
I thought about Kansas CityBringing back the Scouts.
Yeah, so would your expansiondraft If you had the moose?
Would you want to take Rantanenbecause his nickname is moose?
Well, you know.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Could I tell a little story more About this?
Yeah, go, go.
I Actually played on a streethockey Team back Before.
Well, I mean, you Might havebeen just a Baby at the time and
we were the Mooseheads.
After the Moosehead beer, Icould have done the Milwaukee
Mooseheads and we already wouldhave had a sponsor.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah, there you go.
So, that's funny.
So, as I was saying, with mineI could have gone with the
Kansas City Scouts.
I could have gone with thekansas city scouts.
I could have gone withsomething with okc I had another
one somewhere else, I justcan't think of it but, um, I
(51:39):
decided to go with the sanantonio rattlers.
I the.
I know it kind of looks likethe sharks, but I just love the
colors.
Yeah, I really do.
Um, so I and I, and we don'treally have a snake team in the
in the NHL, so I figured itisn't.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
Wasn't there like a San Antonio Rattlers and like
arena football was there or somekind of?
Speaker 1 (52:07):
rattlers somewhere.
I don't know if there was.
If it was, I'm sorry, I did notmean to copy it, but well, all
the names we probably used havebeen used somewhere cody, so
yeah, so it's not like it's,it's brand new.
And here are the way jerseys,yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:24):
Yeah, I like those.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
Yeah.
So, like I said, I didn't wantto choose Houston.
I was torn between San Antonioand Kansas City for the teams,
but I didn't want to have theNordiques and the Scouts
bringing back two teams.
(52:46):
I wanted to have a little bitmore um, you know, more
imagination to it.
And adam said, uh, it waseither arena football or the old
xfl yeah, I know, I rememberthe the rattler name on some.
I know there was a rattlers teamfrom one of those.
I just didn't know if it wassan Antonio or not.
(53:07):
If it was, then, oops, Ihonestly did not know it was if
it was, but, like I said, I justlike the colors.
I thought it'd be cool to havea snake team in the NHL.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
Yep and then.
Speaker 2 (53:24):
So we go to the Pacific.
I had three choices again theTempe tornadoes or the Portland
Blades or the Phoenix Firebirds.
Anyone want to guess which oneI picked?
Speaker 1 (53:45):
One of the teams.
Speaker 2 (53:48):
The Phoenix Firebirds .
Speaker 1 (53:51):
And yes, we just copied the Coachella Valley
Firebirds logo.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
It is a cool logo I do like their logo.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
I like the red with the gray, yeah With the black.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
It is a good look, it was so much fun to make.
Just play with colors.
Speaker 1 (54:12):
It was so much fun and I do like this one.
For the.
You're away one, yeah, soyou're bringing back an Arizona
team.
I like the Firebirds, that's agood name.
Something different, yeah.
And then for me what I wentwith was, let's see, got to go
(54:35):
to my slide, I went with thePortland Pioneers.
Oh, it's funny, cause you hadPortland and Pione and pioneers,
but for two different teams.
Yeah, the I had.
Speaker 2 (54:51):
No, I had, yeah, the portland and the okc, pioneers,
didn't you?
That's the only pioneer team Ihad, which one was the okc.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
Yeah I'm saying you had portland as one of your
teams.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
Yeah, blades, yeah, you combine them yeah, sort of
look like the uh st louis blues,maybe just a little bit, but
with a little.
Speaker 1 (55:16):
That's why with the diff.
That's why I went with adifferent like type of jersey,
but this I actually liked,really liked the way these ones
look yeah, I like.
Speaker 2 (55:24):
I like it too.
You did a great job with those.
Those look good.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
You know, like I said again, they already have the
Portland Treeblazers up there sothey could play there.
And here are the way jerseys.
Yeah, I like those too.
The one thing I wish is likethat there was more white in the
shorts, but you can't reallycontrol that.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
All's I gotta say is an Adam made that comment, but
out of all the teams we picked,you know moose, moose.
Speaker 1 (55:58):
that would just go huge, so out of the four, you
made what was your favorite.
Speaker 2 (56:10):
I actually the uniform I like, the Richmond
Rockets one.
Speaker 1 (56:17):
The Richmond.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
Rockets.
Yeah, I mean I like theFirebird one, but I like that
one.
Speaker 1 (56:23):
I know mom would pick this one.
Speaker 2 (56:26):
Well, I just like it.
I like the contrast andeverything else about it.
I mean I actually like them all.
I I wanted to be reallydifferent.
Yeah, obviously, pickingrichmond, it's probably never
going to happen yeah, but that'swhy it was fun.
Um, and then you know,milwaukee probably could get a
(56:48):
team, possibly and I justthought Moose with the no,
that's a great one.
With the colors, I love thatone.
I mean, I liked them all, but Ireally liked the maroon, white
and black contrast.
Speaker 1 (57:04):
Yeah, my favorite that I made was the indianapolis
speed.
I think just I just let theplay with the indy 500 and the
nascar that it's a big metroarea.
They already got a basketballteam.
They have a good arena.
(57:25):
You know, their basketball teamwas just in the finals.
Um, and I, I just like.
I like the away jerseys too,because you can also add the red
helmet to it.
Um, but I would say, my closesecond is like what mom was just
saying um, the right here, Ilike the colors, but I really
like the rattlers, but I reallylike the Rattlers and honestly,
(57:46):
I like the Rattlers too.
That was like my second one, mysecond favorite, I would say.
Speaker 2 (57:53):
Well, honestly, the colors those are that teal color
is my color, that's my color,so I love those.
I just, I don't know, I feltlike I tried to make colors that
would go with the team, so Well, that's what I try to do.
Speaker 1 (58:14):
And the Rattlers one I found online.
I like the colors.
That's why I was like you know,I'm going to go with that, even
though it kind of looks likethe Sharks, but I like the
colors, yeah.
But the Indianapolis Speed isthe one that I kind of just I
did on my own.
I found the logo on Canva and Iwent and I just copy it, pasted
(58:36):
it over and I was playingaround with it and I just I like
the gray with the orange andred, and then I put on the white
jersey.
I'm like that one really pops,and then, like I said, you add
the red helmet with it too.
I think it would look reallycool on the ice for a road game.
Speaker 2 (58:57):
That was just so much fun to create.
I did that one morning and itwas a few hours playing with it,
but I wasn't looking forward toit, Cody, to be honest with you
with it.
But I wasn't looking forward toit, Cody, to be honest with you
, I did it anyways and I endedup having a great time doing
that.
That's something I'd like to.
We could do this again.
We just have to pick.
(59:18):
Maybe the most obscure nexttime, what do you think?
Most obscure expansion in eachdivision.
Speaker 1 (59:29):
That would be fun.
You know, but honestly, I thinkmy favorite jersey on your side
was just one, was this one.
I like the green and yellow.
Honestly, I may be biased justbecause I made the logo Well.
(59:50):
I mean, it was a template onCanva, but I just changed the
color.
Yeah, I had a logo.
Speaker 2 (59:55):
Cody made all the logos better.
Speaker 1 (59:58):
Yeah, I definitely made the logos a lot better.
Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Well, you know, I didn't know where to find it, so
I found stuff that I knew itwouldn't be exactly nowhere to
find it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
so I found stuff that I knew it wouldn't be exactly
how about make an original teamfor the NHL to pick up?
Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
well, that's kind of what we're doing oh, like on our
yeah that's.
Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
I mean I wouldn't mind seeing like a Milwaukee
team, or I don't thinkRichmond's gonna happen, to be
honest, richmond's not gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
That was a left field throw I go, that's just people.
No one's gonna expect that yeahbut you could see atlanta, even
possibly cleveland andmilwaukee milwaukee.
Milwaukee already has a arenatoo, right and uh okc might have
an arena too Right, and OKCmight have an arena too, I would
think.
Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
They do have an arena .
They were just basketball teams.
Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Basketball team champs yeah, Phoenix could
definitely have a team.
That's a huge area.
Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
I know they've had talks with Portland.
I know San Antonio is probablynot the biggest one.
I think they're going to gowith Houston over San Antonio.
I only chose it just becausethere was actually.
Houston already has an arenatechnically too, with the
Rockets, true, I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
You went San Antonio instead of Houston.
I wanted to be a littledifferent on that.
I mean, I picked two placeswhere we had come from, but I
kind of made them different.
Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Yeah, like I said, the one I brought back was the
Nordiques.
Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Yeah, so it was, like I said, a lot of fun to do and
you know what's really going tobe exciting people is, hockey is
starting to happen again no, no, not just happen again.
We're getting hockey this nextweek next week we are seeing
(01:02:00):
hockey games yeah, well, in a aweek or two after we'll have, or
maybe just a week after we'llhave, sarp preseason games.
The Ducks and Kings are playinga few times yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Oh no, he said my bad , I thought you were making new
updates for old teams.
No, these were I mean meanother than the phoenix and
quebec and the atlanta, it wasall yeah, those are all new.
Would be new, new, new, totalareas I see hockey every week of
(01:02:39):
the year.
I'm jealous, adam.
Okay, I'm jealous.
I wish I could.
Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
I wish I could.
Yeah, well, we've had a greatoff season so far.
No, it's a lot better than lastyear.
Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
I think you know it's funny, like this off season,
like news wise and hockey wise,was lame, I'm not going to deny
it.
We didn't get any big freeagents, there was no big trades,
you know, not, not, not a lotof big news this offseason and
it kind of died before it evenreally began.
(01:03:16):
You know, like I said, theplayoffs were great and
everything, but after that, Imean, the draft was actually
pretty lame too.
I would say the five-hour firstround, you know that was bad.
The Zoom call with every playerand everyone had bad internet
(01:03:36):
connection, bad.
I think the only good thingabout the draft was what the
Ducks did with McQueen, you know, going to Disneyland and
everything, yeah, but other thanthat, like it's been a pretty
dull offseason, like around theNHL.
But I think for us it wasdefinitely for us it was
(01:03:58):
definitely entertaining doingthis.
Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
So what time are those games, Adam?
Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Yeah, I'm kind of curious what time are the games?
And do I want to drive all theway to El Segundo?
I'm ready to pop my back.
But I'm definitely excited fornext season or next week?
Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Yeah, sure, well, I'm excited for the season because
next, next week, yeah, sure,well, I'm excited for the season
because, you know, last year Iwasn't very excited and just
about every move we made made adifference, and it wasn't
exciting when it happened, butwhen they started playing it did
, and then we've had the samething this year.
(01:04:47):
I mean the the mostcontroversial thing is the
signing of Corey Perry, ofcourse.
Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
And I even think.
Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
Right now Eddie's starting to come around with
Corey Perry being a King Notthat he loves him, but it's been
a lot on his podcast.
You should go listen to Eddieon Locked on Kings if you're a
Kings fan, and also Kyle Carr onLocked on Ducks.
They do a great job.
(01:05:16):
You got to see the Captain ofChaos on Locked on Ducks.
What two, three weeks ago?
Oh, so they're night games.
Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Yeah, they're night games and I drive from San
Bernardino to El Secundo everyweek.
Yeah, but we're in Temecula,manaphy, I think that's a little
farther.
Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
You know what?
I'm up for it.
We can't do it today becausewe're booked already today.
How much are tickets?
Or is it free, Adam, to comewatch you guys play?
Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
Yeah, and also don't forget to go check on the
Patriots golf tournament.
No, I don't.
I hope you still have time.
I don't know when everythingcloses, but I believe they still
have slots open, from what I'veheard, for the golf tournament.
I believe they still have slotsopen, from what I've heard, for

I have no golf game, I'm not.
I'm not very good at all.
Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Right now.
I mean, I don't either.
I used to be decent, but lasttime I played I was awful.
I've been dealing with a badback so I wouldn't want to go
out and swing club right now.
Anyway, we're going to go outand talk with players and
golfers and that's going to beon our podcast.
It won't be live, but it willgo onto our podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
The last time I golfed it wasn't really golf.
We went to Topgolf with somebuddies.
I swung the club so hard Iended up breaking the bottom end
of the club.
I swung and then I noticed theclub felt a lot lighter and then
the thing at the bottom wasgone.
Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
So at the bottom, the head of the club, you mean the
head of the club.
Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Thank you, I couldn't think of it and plus I don't.
I don't have any clubs.
My father, my father-in-law,says I can use his, but I don't
trust myself with his nice clubs.
Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
Um.
Adam says register, Even ifwith his nice clubs Adam says
register even if you have nogolf game.
Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
Yeah, if you guys want to have fun, I'm just not a
golfer.
I probably want to break clubsmore than Well.
Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
we're going to be interviewing, hopefully, some of
the players and golfers and,like I said, it's going to be
part of the podcast next week.
We're still trying to work outexactly if we will have video.
We'll have some video, right,cody?
It just may not be like this.
Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
I plan on having video.
I'm working on everything.
Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
I'm planning on bringing everything I have when
we do a regular podcast.
I hope that helps and works.
If it doesn't, we'll just leaveit in the car and go from there
.
But we're still trying to workout all the parameters, but
anyways ready to get out of here.

lows from the kings to the ducks.
Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
They go shouting.
Go kings, go my class.
They cheer my father and son,their past and sincere on the
ice.
Their love appears through thehighs and lows in the years.
Just a bit outside, the corner is missed.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Okay, I know it's not a hockey quote there hockey
fans but it's one of the mosticonic sayings in a sports movie
ever the world famous HarryDoyle played.
I mean just there are so manyof those Little things that he
(01:06):
it wasn't scripted.
A lot of people don't know itwasn't scripted and that's just
how talented that man was and wedo miss him.
Had a long life, milwaukeeBrewers announcer, forever and
definitely totally missed.
But now that I've got that outof my system because I am
(01:29):
wearing just a bit outside shirtmy wife got me which totally
was the whole reason that wenton our podcast today, because
she knows that's one of myfavorite things ever.
Anyways, welcome back fans.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's probably still one of the best sayings, but not
it's one of my favorite, butnot my favorite from that those
movies and I know I've alreadysaid on the podcast yeah, women,
they uh can't stand.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Uh can't live without them and they can't pee
standing up yeah, ruth baker,baby, some really talented, uh,
writing, and I don't peestanding up.
Yeah, rube Baker, baby, somereally talented writing, and I
don't know, maybe a lot of itjust came out of their mouth,
improvised, improvised.
Yeah, great movie.
So how are you today, cody?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I'm doing good, I'm happy it's the weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Happy we're doing this right now.
Yeah, yeah, you know the littleproject that we did, definitely
.
Well, I was thinking of CaptainChaos, adam, as I weirdly
(02:45):
introduced our podcast this week.
Sometimes I go totally off thewall.
I can say a little bit ofinspiration from you, bro.
Anyways, yeah, doing the, we'llget to that.
Why don't we go right to newsand I'll say what I was going to
say when we get to the part?
Okay, definitely broke up myweek and made me smile.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You want to do King's News first or Duck's News first
?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, we have that in our notes.
Duck's first, let's go Duck's.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Well, that's just because I just copy and paste,
so that way it's not as troublefor me.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
So the lazy part of the Royally Quack podcast will
go first.
Oh, the lazy part.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I'll let you do everything from now on and see
if you can call that lazyanymore, anyways, but we'll get
this thing rolling.
We'll start with the Ducksducks news some shocking news, I
would say.
To start.
I was not expecting this, butthe anaheim ducks have placed
defenseman rodwin denisio onwaivers for the purpose of a
(03:55):
mutual contract termination.
Denisio's contract has beenofficially terminated after he
cleared waivers.
Dionisio is a highly giftedoffensive defenseman who was
drafted in the fifth round ofthe 2023 NHL draft.
Dionisio was regularly in thegoals lineup.
Then there were, there wasreports began to be issues with
(04:19):
the player and the team, whichled to him only playing three
games in last December,following a month.
Denis, who got suspended twice,which he lit, which led to him
immediately getting assignedback to the echl and then he got
sent to play in switzerland.
So wow, yeah, and this issomeone that I was actually kind
(04:41):
of looking forward to, like oneof those kind of dark horses
later in the draft that you andstuff like that, but I guess he
was just a locker room cancer.
It sounds like.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That definitely sounds like that, you know
getting suspended twice in onemonth.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I think one was like he spit on a player, I believe
One of his teammates.
No, he spit on, I don't know ifit was one of his teammates or
another team or the other team,but either way you can't be
doing that he must have uhinspired carter to spit on dac.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, I don't know if you saw dac started that first
he said he didn't spit, though II didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
There was a replay where it showed dac spitting
something towards Carter.
I saw a replay of someone'slike see Dak started it first.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
He didn't get suspended, did he?
Did Carter get suspended?
He did?
Oh Well, he got ejected.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I would have thought that I'm like dude.
He spit on me.
First Check the tapes.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I'm sure there's going to be an inquiry through
the whole thing to see exactlyall that happened.
And then today, you just neverknow you could be on video.
You know, at the grocery storescreaming at someone who you
know ran over your foot orsomething, and you just never
(06:05):
know.
That's one thing like thing.
When we were officiating, theystarted telling us I've got to
be careful what you say and whatyou do, because any of these
parents could be videotaping you.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Next bit of news is Roger McQueen at the Combine
with the Providence Friars,starting his new NCAA career.
He was measured at 6.5 inches.
I'm sorry, 6 foot 5 inchesActually, no sorry, last season
(06:41):
he was 6 foot 5 and now he'sbeen measured at 6'6.
Going into camp with theProvidence Friars.
And just a reminder howeveryone said that Ray Aaron
Getzloff was a big, intimidatingpower forward.
Getzloff was only 6'4".
Speaker 2 (06:56):
His center.
He was a center what Getzloff?
Getzloff was a center.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I said power forward.
Yeah, power forwards should bewingers and centers.
I said power forward, I didn'tsay winger or center.
I know Getzloff was the center,obviously.
I know that.
Come on.
I said power forward.
One more time, power forward.
(07:22):
I'm kind of glad that he did dothe college route.
I think that's great for hisdevelopment and everything like
that.
You know he can get more timepracticing, more time in the
weight room, uh, building that.
You know six foot six body ofhis to be in NHL shape.
(07:44):
If it takes him another year,then that's fine.
I don't think the Ducks needhim up right away.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
anyways, he's probably going to be two or
three years because he's stillgrowing.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I would say if he doesn't make it next year, it's
going to be the year after, notthis upcoming season, but the
season after that, so probably,like the 2027, you'll probably
see him in a Ducks uniform.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
We will see.
Hopefully, that would be great,because they're going to need
someone to check by field whilewe play each other.
Yeah, true.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Last thing yesterday on the 32 thoughts podcast,
elliot friedman said I'veconsistently heard over the last
little while that they are notcrazy about bridging mctavish.
Now maybe that will change,maybe they'll do it, but I've
heard they prefer long-term.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So it's term, not money.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That's what it sounds like.
It sounds like more term thananything.
I guess McTavish wants a bridgedeal so that way he can get
paid more later on, because, ifyou think about it, the Ducks
still have a lot of players thatare going to be doing big
contracts soon Carlson Cutter,minty Zellweger there was
(09:09):
another one, who was it?
Crap, who is it?
I know I'm missing somebodyelse, but, like I said, four big
players already right therethat are going to be due new
contracts next season.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Actually, Well, if you're a team, you want to lock
the guy up.
I can understand what the ducksare doing yeah.
But if you're the player, Iwant a bridge deal.
I want to make more money later.
I believe in myself.
That's what you're hearing.
Yeah, I believe in myself.
That's what you're hearing.
I believe in myself and,believe it or not, there would
(09:52):
be a lot of people interested ingetting McTavish.
They can't come to reason andget a contract going.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I just hope that McTavish signs sooner than later
, just because we have a brandnew coaching staff coming in.
And if you really think aboutit, this literally happened two
years ago.
Brand new coaching staff camein.
New head coach Zagreus andDrysdale needed to be re-signed
(10:23):
and they both waited till almostthe last possible minute to
sign.
So they missed all of trainingcamp, they missed a couple
pre-season games and then afterthat they were just always hurt.
I don't want that to repeat andI get.
This is why I get, why, youknow, um, the Ducks fans on
social media are getting veryannoyed because we feel like
(10:45):
this is going to happen again.
And I totally get it.
I don't want that to happen.
I want McTavish to sign now.
So I was just hoping that Iwould get a pop up saying oh,
mctavish sign.
You know, just praying thatwould happen.
That'd been kind of funny.
That way he can get down hereto socal, get to uh know the new
(11:10):
coaches and everything, workwith them and and then that way
he doesn't miss any time withthe new coaches, is in all the
practices, all the training camp, all the you know whatever
pre-season games he needs to bein.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So yeah, I understand , but and that's all I have for
uh ducks news well, let's go toking's news and you know, in a
similar matter we have um.
Adrian kempe is gonna be a isgoing to be an unrestricted free
(11:45):
agent at the end of this nextcoming season and they're in
contract talks and I haven'theard it.
It's about term at all.
It's about money.
He wants $10 million andthey're going to play hardball
(12:06):
with him for a little bit.
I go.
You know you're going to beseeing probably Connor McDavid
making somewhere between $17 and$20 million when they re-sign
him.
I wouldn't doubt it With thecap keep going up, money is
(12:27):
going up and Even though Maybehe's not the biggest scoring guy
but how many guys Are two-wayplayers like Kempe is?
I mean, he's A stellar defenderand he's a Got a wicked shot,
(12:51):
and if you don't believe that,just ask any of the duck
skullies in the past that playedagainst him, because he's a
duck killer he's a Gibson killer, we need to get him signed,
just as bad as you guys need toget McTavish signed.
So both teams are.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
No, you still have kempe for the season under
contract.
Mctavish is not under contract?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
yeah, but we we don't put him under contract.
He could just play it out therest of year and when we don't
have kempe this year so it's I'mtalking similar and getting
them signed.
So let's move on.
You know the NHL 26 game cameout with player ratings and I'm
going to go over really quickhere what the Kings are and this
(13:34):
is in order of how highlythey're ranked Kempe is at 88,
which I think he should probablybe at least 90.
Kopitar 88.
Dowdy 88.
Kemper and Fiala at 87.
Then you have Deneau andByfield ratings at 86.
Clark and Anderson at 85.
(13:56):
Trevor Moore at an 84.
Warren Fogle also at 84.
Laferriere at 83.
Kuzmenko 82.
Dumlin 82.
Forsbergriere at 83.
Kuzmenko 82.
Dumlin 82.
Forsberg 81.
Sorry, I got a CeCe in 81.
Armia and Edmondson 81.
(14:16):
Turcotte and Perry at 80.
Perry is only at an 80?
.
Guy scored 19 goals last yearfor the Edmonton Oilers.
So you know those are just theratings for them and you know
you guys can see that on Mayor'sManor.
You'll see it if you go toMayor's Manor on the internet
(14:44):
and you can see that foryourselves.
Also, on Kings of the Podcastthis last week, jordan Spence
said his goodbyes to everyoneand it was very classy.
He was very classy about it.
He even went to Warren Fogle,got married and then now I'm
(15:14):
blanking on who else got marriedby the king for the Kings.
Oh, mikey Anderson's wedding,and he went to both of them.
Well, no, we're talking aboutJordan, Spence Adam.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
No, he's talking about the NHL player ratings.
Sorry I'm a little behind.
And mom also said what do thesenumbers mean?
It's just their overall ratingsin the hockey game.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, there's more to it.
That's their average ratingthat each player gets.
You know where?
I think McDavid was a 99, right.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
McDavid was a 97.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Was anybody a 99?
No, well, if McJesus is a 99,nobody's going to be there.
Well, anyways, back to the news.
A lot of people don't realizethat this could be a big waiver
loss season for the Kings.
I'm going to go over some ofthe minor names right now Glenn
(16:12):
Godden, logan Brown, cole Cutman, joe Hicketts, samuel Bowden,
phoenix Copley would be a biggerone.
Martin Kromiak, sammy HelleniusCopley would be a bigger one,
martin Chromiak, Sammy Hellenius, andre Lee, jeff Mallott, akil
Thomas, kyle Burrows and JacobMoverari.
Now some of those guys are goingto be on the Kings roster as
(16:36):
maybe an extra forward or anextra defender, but there's only
room, I think, for one extradefender.
So it's either more Ferrari oror Burroughs, and I'm betting on
more Ferrari.
So, and other Kings news, thereis still a possibility for Liam
Greentree that he could playfor the rain this year, because
(16:58):
they are in talks between theNHL and the CHL to bring what's
going to happen next year, maybea year earlier, which would
really help players like GreenTree, and even back at Seneca,
if he doesn't make the Ducksroster, because going back to
(17:19):
the OHL I mean, dang Green Treehad 49 goals and 119 points.
He has nothing else to prove inthe OHL.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Neither does Seneca.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Well, yeah, and they were both All-Stars in the OHL.
Anyways, that's Kings news forthis week and we'll go on to
league news Cody.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yep, I just got a phone.
We'll skip that first one, um,but marco scandela has
officially retired fromprofessional hockey at the age
of 35 okay, derrick ryan hasalso officially retired at the
age of 38.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And then?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
we'll uh.
The Philadelphia Flyers haveacquired forward Tucker
Robertson from Seattle Crackingin exchange for forward John
Randall Rondell Avon.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Avon Collie oh god, no, not that again.
The Minnesota Wilders Signingex duck brett leeson to uh, uh
tryout I, I wish, uh, uh.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Here's uh what he said hicketts won't make the
roster, not anymore well, hewon't make the nhl roster for
sure.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, so he's going to be on waivers.
A lot of those first guys areall guys that are definitely
going to be on waivers, adam, umsome of those later guys.
Some of them still have achance to make the nhl roster
yeah helenius I, I would think,was going to make it, and it's
either more or burrows, unlesssomebody blows Hiller's socks
(19:08):
off and moves above them.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah.
And then next big news ActuallyI forgot to say I wish, at
least in the best, I hope he canmake the Minnesota Wild.
I wish the Ducks would have hadhim re-signed as, like, the
13th forward.
I think he would have been agood fit with us, especially if
you know the ducks.
I'm just saying if the ducks domake the playoffs he's a group.
(19:35):
I think he would be a great uhfourth liner to play in the
playoffs.
He just has that kind of uhplate for you know, for him and
everything.
So I wish him the best there.
I really do.
I always liked Brett Leeson.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
And then next big news is the Flames have
re-signed RFA forward ConnorZari to a three-year 3.775
million AAV contract extensionand Michael Russo is reporting
that the Minnesota Wild andKirill Kaprizov are inching
(20:13):
closer towards an eight-yearextension, stating that he heard
the sides are close.
He believes it will come inaround $128 million and that's
16 mil AAV.
So he would be the highest paidplayer until McDavid resigns
(20:37):
Currently.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Well, I mean dry saddles currently, but I think
that deal won't start till nextseason.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah Well, that's boosting McDavid's chance to get
to $20 million.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
See, I don't think that he's going to do the $20
million.
I mean, yeah, he can easily getthe $20 million a year.
I think he could.
But I think he knows, if hedoes that, the chances of the
Oilers, you know, building abetter team around him will be
harder.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah, take a hometown discount to be competitive.
Pull a Tom Brady Exactly, hedid that quite a bit.
And look at seven Super Bowls,jesus.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Next, we got a blockbuster trade here.
Next we got a blockbuster tradehere.
The montreal canadians havetraded carrie price to the san
jose.
Oh sorry, carrie price and a2026 fifth round pick to the
sharks in exchange fordefenseman gannon laroque.
But I'm just kidding, it's nota blockbuster trade.
(21:47):
Um, they're just contract thatway they can be under the cap.
And since they did that, theCanadians now have just under
$4.6 million in projected capspace per Puckpedia.
It was just a money move.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, and sad news for hockey.
Former Montreal Canadiensgoaltender, ken Dryden, has
passed away at the age of 78following a battle with cancer.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I would probably say he's definitely one of the best
goalies in NHL history.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, no doubt about that.
I mean, I can remember watchingthem play.
I can't say the same, I know,unfortunately, you can't do that
.
So anyways.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
And then let's go back to the NHL and NHLPA
Collective bargaining agreement,so they're actually starting
Some of the new CBA rules thisseason.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Kind of what.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I talked about which one?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Oh yeah, the U19 having a 19-year-old in the AHL,
yeah they're trying to workthat out because they realize
it's really oh yeah, he was okayout.
Because they realize it'sreally.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Oh yeah, he was okay Adam.
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Captain of chaos strikes again.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, no kidding.
So here are the new rulesstarting this season From the
new CBA that's going to startthis season.
The new playoff salary cap isstarting this year the playoff
salary cap.
So no more you know, kachuk isout and then game 83, bam, he's
(23:46):
back in and you could be overthe cap.
Nope, you have to be capcompliant and it's full cap hit.
It's not like the percentage ofthe cap anymore, it's full cap
hit for everything so so it's areal cap instead of just a
circumvented uh cap yeah, so,and then if a player is, I want
(24:12):
to say I want to say it's theaverage salary pay was like 3.8
million.
So what is gonna do, what'sgonna happen is, if a player is
hurt and he can't and he has achance to come back, you can use
, I think, the 3.8 million.
Um, I'm sorry, just if you guysgo listen to the 32 thoughts,
(24:36):
elliot explains it a lot bettertoo, so hopefully you know that
will help.
But here's also the new, thenew rules uh, changes to the
ltir.
Reducing the benefits a teamreceives an ltir no deferred
compensation, effective october7th 2025.
(24:59):
Uh, restriction on paper loans.
Restriction on second retentionon traded contracts.
So now you, there is no morelike three teams trades where
one team takes on half percentand the other one takes half
percent, kind of thing.
So there's no more of that.
The 19 year old one hasn't beenimplemented yet.
(25:27):
They're still.
They got to have an agreementwith uh, the chl to do that
first right otherwise that wouldbe great.
Uh, yeah, there you go.
The the vegas cheaters loopholeis closed.
There you go.
That's a.
That's a good example rightthere.
And then the four recall rule I, I'm guessing you can only
(25:49):
recall a player four times andthen this one will start the
next year prior to the 2026-2027.
Drafted player rightsretentions for 2026.
Draft Minor league compensationlimits March 1st.
Nhl minimum salary increaseseffective March 1st.
(26:12):
Ecl contract limits also March1st.
Mandatory neck protectionstarts on July 1st and
entry-level eligibility forEuropean players is also March
1st, and then everything elsewill stay on.
Time is also March 1st, andthen everything else will stay
on time.
The only one we're iffy onright now is the AHL 19-year-old
(26:35):
player thing, like what we weretalking about for Green Tree
and Seneca, because if they canget that going, then Seneca and
Green Tree are both going to bein the AHL this next year, like
this season.
Well, they should be in the NHL.
And then, last but not least,for the league news, three teams
(26:58):
have came out with new uniforms.
I'm going to put them up here.
So if you guys want to go seethe new uniforms, head over to
YouTube and Twitch.
Give us a follow and check itout, live with us.
So here is the Kraken's newblack third jersey, and they
will be playing the Ducks inthis jersey.
(27:18):
They will be playing the Ducksin this jersey.
What is it?
I have it here somewhere.
Here it is.
They'll be playing them onJanuary 23rd against the ducks
and none against the kings.
Um, so here and then here's aclose-up on the logo and then,
(27:42):
last but not least, it is also aglow-in-the-dark jersey.
Oh cool and then they don't playin the dark yeah, exactly, but
maybe when they come in, whenplayers start skating around
during the player intros andeverything, it'll probably look
pretty cool, because usuallyit's all blacked out around that
(28:04):
time.
Yeah, true, and then theCarolina Hurricanes have
continued their weird style ofuniforms.
They don't like to just havethe same type of uniform, they
like to change.
Like, every single jersey theyhave is different.
You know, they have the blackone with the hurricane flag on
(28:27):
it.
Then this is their new awayuniform, right here, this white
with the.
It looks like they copied thelogo from their stadium series
logo a couple years ago.
And then their third jersey isjust their old home jersey with
the red one with the red.
Like I said, they can't decidewhat design they want, what they
(28:50):
want to do for their, uh, theirlooks.
And then here's another look ofit.
And then I do like the patches,I stormy the pig outfit or the
patch.
And then, last but not least,is the senators have come out
with a third jersey, with a new,third alternate jersey.
(29:12):
I, I really like this one.
This one's my favorite out ofthe three.
You know, I I don't know, Ijust I think it looks really
clean.
I like the red.
I I kind of wish the uh.
I do like the uh.
Um, I missed the red look forthe senators just because that
was like their go-to, but I dolike their black jerseys.
(29:36):
Adam says Seattle has amazinguniforms.
Carolina's is terrible and Ican agree with that.
I like Ottawa's a little bitmore than Seattle's.
Seattle's looks too close tolike the San Jose third jerseys
and the was a little bit morethan Seattle.
Seattle's looks too close tolike the San Jose third jerseys
and the Rangers third jerseys,in my opinion.
And then next up, we got therookie face-off preview.
(30:02):
Okay, you have your lineup.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Well, it's not a lineup.
I have a roster, oh, roster,that's what I bet and you guys
they're probably every one ofthese guys will probably play
some.
So you're not always going toget to see like Liam Greentree
or Beckett Seneca or any ofthose guys.
They'll probably play.
Well, they're only playing twogames, right?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, they're only playing two.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
So we'll see what happens.
I'm going to go through theforwards Jan Chauvin from the

That's my roster for this.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
All right, and here's our uh roster.
Here I'm gonna go with theforwards they got.
I mean, it looks like we mightsee every single player because,

(40:58):
Come join us.
You want to predict the gamestoo.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
It's a rookie face-off.
I don't know who San Jose isgoing to have playing.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I really don't know a lot of the.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Duck guys.
Some of these guys I don't evenknow on the.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Kings, do you want to at least predict the Ducks
versus Kings game?
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Okay, sure.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
What's your prediction?
Speaker 2 (41:31):
No, you go first your prediction no, you go first.
I'm gonna say four, two ducksI'm gonna say four, two kings,
oh, okay copycat.
No, I wasn't copying, that'sexactly what I had in my head
when I sure, or?
You.
Even we decided who was goingfirst.
Hey, we have different teamswinning.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
That's true, all right, and then you want to go
to the fun part of the podcastnow.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah, this was a lot of fun to do.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
I actually got to design uniforms and pick colors
and try to pick teams.
I think we should leave thePacific for the last.
What do you think?
Or?
Speaker 1 (42:15):
do you have it in an?
Speaker 2 (42:16):
order.
We can do it.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
You just tell me and I can put those ones up.
Mom says five, three ducks.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Mom staying home.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Hey, I bought the tickets, mom's going.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Let's start with the atlantic and let's each of us
pick our teams before we move on.
Okay, so I had I had picked twodifferent teams in the atlantic
, and one of them would havebeen the Quebec Nordiques, which
I didn't pick any uniforms foror anything else I'm assuming we
(42:56):
could have gotten logos and allthat stuff from their prior
ones but I chose the RichmondRockets instead.
Richmond is in Virginia, so nowVirginia would have a team.
Hey, you know, the Roger Ebertof hockey might not be the one
(43:21):
that would be lucky enough.
Wait, if she decided not to go.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Would the Richmond Rockets be an Atlantic team, or
would your other team be more ofan?
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Atlantic team.
I think they could go eitherway.
I would say it's the other wayaround you think that would be
Metro then.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
I think that would be Metro.
So you want to do Metro?
Let's do Metro first, sinceyou're already talking about it.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Okay, so the Richmond Rockets I mean, and I even
looked at the population.
Richmond Rockets, I mean, and Ieven looked at the population,
it's 226,000 people in Richmond,but the outlying areas is like
1.7 million, so it's viable forany kind of sports team to play
(44:05):
there.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
And the colors for this team maroon, white and
black.
So here here are the, and thankyou for adam for getting me on
this website now.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
I can't stop making jerseys I gotta tell you that is
so much fun.
Oh god, I had such a good timemaking the jerseys, so, so that
is the Richmond Rockets.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
That's the home and then away.
Yes, I got lazy with the number.
Just ignore the numbers, Justfocus on, like you know, more of
the jersey and pants.
I guess I was lazy with thenumbers.
I'm not going to deny it.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Well, yeah, funny, you pick 97.
Who wears number 97?
Speaker 1 (44:52):
that's just the standard on there yeah, well, of
course mom loves the colors.
And then, adam, you're welcome.
All right, so you have your,your metro team.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
So you want me to do my metro team okay, did you now,
if you had other, any otherteams?
I actually had at least oneother team with a team name.
Pick Okay.
And then in the QuebecNordiques, that's Atlantic.
Okay, the Cleveland Crusaders.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
See, I had a Cleveland team.
I just couldn't come up with ateam name so I kind of gave up
so I went with a different one.
So the reason I went with thisteam is one I try to find teams
that already had a arena set uptoo in a way.
So I picked the IndianapolisSpeed.
(45:48):
You know, you can kind of go onwith the Indy 500, with NASCAR
and everything.
Um, the logo I just kind offound off of Google and
everything.
The colors I tried to make likecloser, like NASCAR, kind of
looking like flames.
Um, I thought the gray was agood touch with the red and
(46:12):
orange, and then that's the homejerseys, and then you got the
away jerseys and I and I wouldhave them wear the red helmets
too.
I'm just saying I think thatwould look good with the away
jerseys, especially with thehome jerseys.
I think with the home jerseys Ithink they can wear the.
I don't know if a red wouldlook good with these ones.
(46:34):
But yeah, this was my Metro one.
I had a Cleveland one.
I had another city.
I want to say it was likeCincinnati was another one, but
this one they could play wherethe Pacers play.
So you already have a arena.
So that's why I chose and Ithought it was a good touch to
(46:54):
have a race car themed team atthe same time Very creative.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
Yep, so now your Atlantic team.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
My Atlantic team, the Atlantic Crusher Crashersers.
They're the crashers, not, yeah, crushers would have been okay
too you just had a.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
You had to create a team that was had a rhyming
thing with the thrashers I did.
I don't know why so here arethe jerseys that you made the
concept for.
Yeah, I know it wasn't the logoyou picked, but it was.
I couldn't find anything, so Ijust found one off of Google.
So here's the home.
(47:38):
You want to continue?
Why Atlanta?
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah, Well, it has a population of 518,000 in Atlanta
, 1.5 million in the surroundingarea.
Colors were blue, gray, whiteand black and you know, chances
are we're going to probably geta team in Atlanta again.
I would think We've had what?
(48:02):
The Flames and then theBrashers, mm-hmm.
So and what about you, cody?
Speaker 1 (48:15):
so my atlantic team.
All I cheated on this.
It was late, I was tired, I hada hard time picking a metro
team, um, so I just brought backthe quebec nordiques.
So I just brought back theQuebec Nordiques.
I'll admit I was lazy, I'm notgoing to deny it.
So here's their home.
(48:36):
Like I said, and I think itwould be great to have the
Nordiques back.
I know everyone said they wouldlike to have them back, but I
was, like I said, lazy, but Ikind of I've always wanted the
Nordiques to come back.
(48:56):
So that was my Atlantic team.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
Okay, so now to the Central.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
To the Central.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Okay, so I had three choices here the Omaha
Outlanders, the OKC Pioneers orthe Milwaukee Moose, and I chose
the Milwaukee Moose.
Population 551,000.
Surrounding area another 1.7million colors green, black and
(49:32):
white and gold.
So yes, it does look like thegreen Bay Packers.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
The green Bay Packers no honestly I, so I did make
the logo off of Canva and Ihonestly it looks cool the way
it looks with the green and theyellow and the white, and and I
honestly it looks cool the wayit looks with the green and the
yellow and the white andeverything.
Honestly, this was a great pick.
You know, I was thinkingMilwaukee and, too, for one of
(50:04):
them, I'm not too fond of theway jerseys as much.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
Yeah, they're all right.
I do like the home jerseys, thehome is a lot better.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
I will say that the home is a lot better.
So, with my central team, Iwanted to choose something a
little different.
They do have a basketball teamthere.
They've already been favoritedto have another team in the area
.
I didn't go with Houston.
(50:35):
I thought about OKC.
I thought about Kansas CityBringing back the Scouts.
Yeah, so would your expansiondraft If you had the moose?
Would you want to take Rantanenbecause his nickname is moose?
Well, you know.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Could I tell a little story more About this?
Yeah, go, go.
I Actually played on a streethockey Team back Before.
Well, I mean, you Might havebeen just a Baby at the time and
we were the Mooseheads.
After the Moosehead beer, Icould have done the Milwaukee
Mooseheads and we already wouldhave had a sponsor.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah, there you go.
So, that's funny.
So, as I was saying, with mineI could have gone with the
Kansas City Scouts.
I could have gone with thekansas city scouts.
I could have gone withsomething with okc I had another
one somewhere else, I justcan't think of it but, um, I
(51:39):
decided to go with the sanantonio rattlers.
I the.
I know it kind of looks likethe sharks, but I just love the
colors.
Yeah, I really do.
Um, so I and I, and we don'treally have a snake team in the
in the NHL, so I figured itisn't.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
Wasn't there like a San Antonio Rattlers and like
arena football was there or somekind of?
Speaker 1 (52:07):
rattlers somewhere.
I don't know if there was.
If it was, I'm sorry, I did notmean to copy it, but well, all
the names we probably used havebeen used somewhere cody, so
yeah, so it's not like it's,it's brand new.
And here are the way jerseys,yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:24):
Yeah, I like those.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
Yeah.
So, like I said, I didn't wantto choose Houston.
I was torn between San Antonioand Kansas City for the teams,
but I didn't want to have theNordiques and the Scouts
bringing back two teams.
(52:46):
I wanted to have a little bitmore um, you know, more
imagination to it.
And adam said, uh, it waseither arena football or the old
xfl yeah, I know, I rememberthe the rattler name on some.
I know there was a rattlers teamfrom one of those.
I just didn't know if it wassan Antonio or not.
(53:07):
If it was, then, oops, Ihonestly did not know it was if
it was, but, like I said, I justlike the colors.
I thought it'd be cool to havea snake team in the NHL.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
Yep and then.
Speaker 2 (53:24):
So we go to the Pacific.
I had three choices again theTempe tornadoes or the Portland
Blades or the Phoenix Firebirds.
Anyone want to guess which oneI picked?
Speaker 1 (53:45):
One of the teams.
Speaker 2 (53:48):
The Phoenix Firebirds .
Speaker 1 (53:51):
And yes, we just copied the Coachella Valley
Firebirds logo.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
It is a cool logo I do like their logo.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
I like the red with the gray, yeah With the black.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
It is a good look, it was so much fun to make.
Just play with colors.
Speaker 1 (54:12):
It was so much fun and I do like this one.
For the.
You're away one, yeah, soyou're bringing back an Arizona
team.
I like the Firebirds, that's agood name.
Something different, yeah.
And then for me what I wentwith was, let's see, got to go
(54:35):
to my slide, I went with thePortland Pioneers.
Oh, it's funny, cause you hadPortland and Pione and pioneers,
but for two different teams.
Yeah, the I had.
Speaker 2 (54:51):
No, I had, yeah, the portland and the okc, pioneers,
didn't you?
That's the only pioneer team Ihad, which one was the okc.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
Yeah I'm saying you had portland as one of your
teams.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
Yeah, blades, yeah, you combine them yeah, sort of
look like the uh st louis blues,maybe just a little bit, but
with a little.
Speaker 1 (55:16):
That's why with the diff.
That's why I went with adifferent like type of jersey,
but this I actually liked,really liked the way these ones
look yeah, I like.
Speaker 2 (55:24):
I like it too.
You did a great job with those.
Those look good.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
You know, like I said again, they already have the
Portland Treeblazers up there sothey could play there.
And here are the way jerseys.
Yeah, I like those too.
The one thing I wish is likethat there was more white in the
shorts, but you can't reallycontrol that.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
All's I gotta say is an Adam made that comment, but
out of all the teams we picked,you know moose, moose.
Speaker 1 (55:58):
that would just go huge, so out of the four, you
made what was your favorite.
Speaker 2 (56:10):
I actually the uniform I like, the Richmond
Rockets one.
Speaker 1 (56:17):
The Richmond.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
Rockets.
Yeah, I mean I like theFirebird one, but I like that
one.
Speaker 1 (56:23):
I know mom would pick this one.
Speaker 2 (56:26):
Well, I just like it.
I like the contrast andeverything else about it.
I mean I actually like them all.
I I wanted to be reallydifferent.
Yeah, obviously, pickingrichmond, it's probably never
going to happen yeah, but that'swhy it was fun.
Um, and then you know,milwaukee probably could get a
(56:48):
team, possibly and I justthought Moose with the no,
that's a great one.
With the colors, I love thatone.
I mean, I liked them all, but Ireally liked the maroon, white
and black contrast.
Speaker 1 (57:04):
Yeah, my favorite that I made was the indianapolis
speed.
I think just I just let theplay with the indy 500 and the
nascar that it's a big metroarea.
They already got a basketballteam.
They have a good arena.
(57:25):
You know, their basketball teamwas just in the finals.
Um, and I, I just like.
I like the away jerseys too,because you can also add the red
helmet to it.
Um, but I would say, my closesecond is like what mom was just
saying um, the right here, Ilike the colors, but I really
like the rattlers, but I reallylike the Rattlers and honestly,
(57:46):
I like the Rattlers too.
That was like my second one, mysecond favorite, I would say.
Speaker 2 (57:53):
Well, honestly, the colors those are that teal color
is my color, that's my color,so I love those.
I just, I don't know, I feltlike I tried to make colors that
would go with the team, so Well, that's what I try to do.
Speaker 1 (58:14):
And the Rattlers one I found online.
I like the colors.
That's why I was like you know,I'm going to go with that, even
though it kind of looks likethe Sharks, but I like the
colors, yeah.
But the Indianapolis Speed isthe one that I kind of just I
did on my own.
I found the logo on Canva and Iwent and I just copy it, pasted
(58:36):
it over and I was playingaround with it and I just I like
the gray with the orange andred, and then I put on the white
jersey.
I'm like that one really pops,and then, like I said, you add
the red helmet with it too.
I think it would look reallycool on the ice for a road game.
Speaker 2 (58:57):
That was just so much fun to create.
I did that one morning and itwas a few hours playing with it,
but I wasn't looking forward toit, Cody, to be honest with you
with it.
But I wasn't looking forward toit, Cody, to be honest with you
, I did it anyways and I endedup having a great time doing
that.
That's something I'd like to.
We could do this again.
We just have to pick.
(59:18):
Maybe the most obscure nexttime, what do you think?
Most obscure expansion in eachdivision.
Speaker 1 (59:29):
That would be fun.
You know, but honestly, I thinkmy favorite jersey on your side
was just one, was this one.
I like the green and yellow.
Honestly, I may be biased justbecause I made the logo Well.
(59:50):
I mean, it was a template onCanva, but I just changed the
color.
Yeah, I had a logo.
Speaker 2 (59:55):
Cody made all the logos better.
Speaker 1 (59:58):
Yeah, I definitely made the logos a lot better.
Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Well, you know, I didn't know where to find it, so
I found stuff that I knew itwouldn't be exactly nowhere to
find it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
so I found stuff that I knew it wouldn't be exactly
how about make an original teamfor the NHL to pick up?
Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
well, that's kind of what we're doing oh, like on our
yeah that's.
Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
I mean I wouldn't mind seeing like a Milwaukee
team, or I don't thinkRichmond's gonna happen, to be
honest, richmond's not gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
That was a left field throw I go, that's just people.
No one's gonna expect that yeahbut you could see atlanta, even
possibly cleveland andmilwaukee milwaukee.
Milwaukee already has a arenatoo, right and uh okc might have
an arena too Right, and OKCmight have an arena too, I would
think.
Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
They do have an arena .
They were just basketball teams.
Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Basketball team champs yeah, Phoenix could
definitely have a team.
That's a huge area.
Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
I know they've had talks with Portland.
I know San Antonio is probablynot the biggest one.
I think they're going to gowith Houston over San Antonio.
I only chose it just becausethere was actually.
Houston already has an arenatechnically too, with the
Rockets, true, I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
You went San Antonio instead of Houston.
I wanted to be a littledifferent on that.
I mean, I picked two placeswhere we had come from, but I
kind of made them different.
Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Yeah, like I said, the one I brought back was the
Nordiques.
Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Yeah, so it was, like I said, a lot of fun to do and
you know what's really going tobe exciting people is, hockey is
starting to happen again no, no, not just happen again.
We're getting hockey this nextweek next week we are seeing
(01:02:00):
hockey games yeah, well, in a aweek or two after we'll have, or
maybe just a week after we'llhave, sarp preseason games.
The Ducks and Kings are playinga few times yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Oh no, he said my bad , I thought you were making new
updates for old teams.
No, these were I mean meanother than the phoenix and
quebec and the atlanta, it wasall yeah, those are all new.
Would be new, new, new, totalareas I see hockey every week of
(01:02:39):
the year.
I'm jealous, adam.
Okay, I'm jealous.
I wish I could.
Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
I wish I could.
Yeah, well, we've had a greatoff season so far.
No, it's a lot better than lastyear.
Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
I think you know it's funny, like this off season,
like news wise and hockey wise,was lame, I'm not going to deny
it.
We didn't get any big freeagents, there was no big trades,
you know, not, not, not a lotof big news this offseason and
it kind of died before it evenreally began.
(01:03:16):
You know, like I said, theplayoffs were great and
everything, but after that, Imean, the draft was actually
pretty lame too.
I would say the five-hour firstround, you know that was bad.
The Zoom call with every playerand everyone had bad internet
(01:03:36):
connection, bad.
I think the only good thingabout the draft was what the
Ducks did with McQueen, you know, going to Disneyland and
everything, yeah, but other thanthat, like it's been a pretty
dull offseason, like around theNHL.
But I think for us it wasdefinitely for us it was
(01:03:58):
definitely entertaining doingthis.
Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
So what time are those games, Adam?
Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Yeah, I'm kind of curious what time are the games?
And do I want to drive all theway to El Segundo?
I'm ready to pop my back.
But I'm definitely excited fornext season or next week?
Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Yeah, sure, well, I'm excited for the season because
next, next week, yeah, sure,well, I'm excited for the season
because, you know, last year Iwasn't very excited and just
about every move we made made adifference, and it wasn't
exciting when it happened, butwhen they started playing it did
, and then we've had the samething this year.
(01:04:47):
I mean the the mostcontroversial thing is the
signing of Corey Perry, ofcourse.
Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
And I even think.
Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
Right now Eddie's starting to come around with
Corey Perry being a King Notthat he loves him, but it's been
a lot on his podcast.
You should go listen to Eddieon Locked on Kings if you're a
Kings fan, and also Kyle Carr onLocked on Ducks.
They do a great job.
(01:05:16):
You got to see the Captain ofChaos on Locked on Ducks.
What two, three weeks ago?
Oh, so they're night games.
Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Yeah, they're night games and I drive from San
Bernardino to El Secundo everyweek.
Yeah, but we're in Temecula,manaphy, I think that's a little
farther.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
The last time I golfed it wasn't really golf.
We went to Topgolf with somebuddies.
I swung the club so hard Iended up breaking the bottom end
of the club.
I swung and then I noticed theclub felt a lot lighter and then
the thing at the bottom wasgone.
Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
So at the bottom, the head of the club, you mean the
head of the club.
Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Thank you, I couldn't think of it and plus I don't.
I don't have any clubs.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
