Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, that's fine, that's fine. Who's around though?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
The door of my office is closed? What's up? Oh? Hey?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
No, I had a question.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
We were trying to we were talking about the when
when when when the goal happens for for Ov right
and to actually had a question. I'll ask you this first.
There's nothing planned at least I know, not with the league.
But there's nothing planned for when he ties it right.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
No, there is a plan from what I heard.
Speaker 8 (05:11):
I so last night I was I was in Raleigh
and I kind of was overhearing some of the plans.
I wasn't really part of the conversation, but there is
something that's going to happen when he ties it, Like
they're going to stop the game and let the players
I think, celebrate with him when he ties it.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
But then the.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Bigger deal, obviously is when he passes breaks the record. Sure,
that's when the commissioner is going to come down, and
I believe he gives a speech and it's going to
be very similar to when Wayne Gretzky passed Gordy How
it's going to be a very similar ceremony to that,
you know, probably stop the game for seven to ten
minutes and then resume the game.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But there but they do have permission from the league
for when the when he ties it to be able
to for the players to go out on the ice.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I do think so.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I mean, remember when he scored seven hundred in New Jersey,
they were they were allowed to pause the game and
let the players come off the bench. And I think
it happened again with his subsequent big uh goals eight
hundred eight oh two. If I remember correctly, he was
they were allowed to do something small.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I'd be very surprised, Elliot if they don't allow.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
The players to come off the bench and celebrate with him,
and then they'll be probably a big announcement in the arena.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
The thing that I think is.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
The thing to keep your eye on is there's only
a handful of home games left. This is gonna happen
on the road, which is gonna be weird. Right, It's
like winning the Stanley Cup on the road. Right, you know,
fans are gonna be some fans are gonna be carrying,
some fans are gonna be kind of like what's going
on here.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It's gonna be a little weird. So it'd be awesome
if you could get it done in DC.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Hey, what is the the And then like we said
that once once, once the big one happens, right Tark,
everything stops and he comes down and you said, just
like they did when Wayne beat Gordy's record. But you
know what the big difference will be is accessibility for
people to see it is like, because I want to
(07:11):
say on the pregame yesterday and I know you and
you and you and Al were in in Raleigh and
then you had like in the pregame stuff Davante and
Allen and Alexa and Brent Johnson were here, but you
guys were all talking about it, and you showed the
clip last night of Wayne passing Gordie Howe, and you
see like all of Wayne's King's teammates, like Luke Robatai
(07:33):
and all them out there. But now there's so much
more coverage and there's so much more stuff going on.
The accessibility to be able to see it will be
will be way above and.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Beyond without a doubt.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
And the thing that really has jumped out to me,
and I talked to the commissioner alluded about this last night,
was the fact that this is going to be a
big moment in all of sports because it's leading sports
center on ESPN's it's it's top of mind.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Everyone's talking about it.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
When Gretzky did it, you know, that was a long
time ago, obviously in ninety four, but it was a
big deal.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
But it wasn't like the biggest deal. But the fact
that the fact that ob is.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
You know, the personality that he is, and the capitals
have been so good for so long.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I mean, I don't know what ESPN.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
And I don't know if T and T would do this,
but I mean, like, are there going to be live
cut ins when the capture on the power play when
he's an eight ninety four. It wouldn't surprise me. I
feel like they did that with some of the home
run chases. Sure in the past, it would make a
whole lot of sense, but I mean it just it
just tickles me. Every time I turn on ESPN to
catch up on Sports Center and the first thing they
(08:49):
say is ob scored another goal. I'm like, what world are.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
We living in?
Speaker 8 (08:53):
It's great baotball season and that's the first words out
of Linda cones mouth.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And by the way, it should be like that. Say this,
Linda Cone huge hockey fan. That is true, she's a massive,
massive hockey fan. But Sports Center should be like that
all the time. Everything Hockey should lead everything. We know that,
But I would if I if I ran ESPN every time,
he would not just a power play every time he's
on the ice.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I would cut to it.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Ellie, My favorite thing in the world is when we
go to Canada for games and I go into the
hotel and I turn the TV onto TSN or Sports
Net and it's and they cover hockey the way we
cover the NFL. And it's like, I mean, they're talking
about the Winnipeg Jets fourth line and their lack of production.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
It's like, I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It is it's the greatest thing.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I don't want to go.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Hold, so listen, Taric, here's why. And I got to
go because now I got Locker on hold. The the
the no no. But I wanted to I wanted to
ask you and I and please take this the right way.
But if there, if there's somebody who's nerdy and dorky
enough to know that, it would be you. Is the last
is the last time they stop the game for the
seven minutes with Gary out on the ice doing whatever?
(09:59):
And maybe it was that Bill Daily did Was it
for Wayne passing Gordy? Or has there been one since?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
That's a great question. I don't know the answer.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
But Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. Here's what I'm
gonna put you on hold. You'll think about it. Let
me see if Locker knows the answer. Hold on one second. Okay, Well,
this is gonna be awkward because I should be a
talking to Locker about Craig.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Hey, Buddy, I don't know the answer. Oh okay, Park, Look,
why am I doing that this Lortie. I just got
him late last night. Come on, man, well, because.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I had a question and I'm trying to call everybody
I know in hockey by the way, locker, can I
can I tell you something? And now's not the appropriate
time because I'm I'm treating you like you're a throwaway.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Why Tark's looking something up? Can I tell you? Can
I tell you something?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Though?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And listen, you know, I love Alan May. It is
so nice to have you back. It's everything feels so right.
It is so great to have you back on the
back on the air.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Oh thank you man.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It's been a long journey.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
It's been I've been working out and trying to get
back and ready to come back. And I'd sort of
put March third, the Sunday game on my calendar that
I was going to act like a player. When a
player gets injured, he sort of has a timetable and
when he was going to return. And that worked out
this perfectly. And it's so much different. I mean, you're
one of the biggest hockey fans ever and saw am
(11:23):
I and watching the Caps on TV, watching OV score
over these seven or eight weeks that I was gone
and then I got to go home Sunday and go
to the game Sunday and.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
He scored there.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
It's just a totally different feel and it just got
me juiced up to be back for the rest of
the season and into the playoffs and this Grade eight
chase is something spectacular.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Beyond belief and excited to be a part of it.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Hey, well, I was at the game on Sunday against
Buffalo when they shot you up on the up on
the jumpotron. It looked like it was been a naughty
holding a flashlight to your eyes.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Looked like they were a little bit running.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
They were a little bit runny, because, to be honest
with you, I did not know they were doing that.
Everyone kept it a secret from me. And then Joe
comes on and says, you know, I think we're going
to commercial. So I'm just chilling because I think he's
going to lead to a commercial break because it was
at the sixteen minute mark or whatever mark, and then
all of a sudden, he says, no, we're not going
to commercial, and I was like, what do you mean,
(12:24):
We're not going to commercial, I thought to myself, And
then all of a sudden, West started into the song
and dance and then I was front and center, but
I was caught off card and usually I know this stuff,
but I did not know they were going to do
that for me that day.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, it was awesome. It was awesome. All right, I'm
going to go back to h locker. Sorry to wake
you up after flying in last night. Hey, good to
talk to you.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Glad you're feeling well.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
All right, back, you got it. Talk to you later.
That is really uncomfortable and let's go here. Hey, Tark,
how are you great.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
I've been doing some research and my my crack research
says that No, the last time in it was a
fifteen minute ceremony for Gretzky's achievement, so it was quite long.
I believe that was the last one of that scale.
There have been other ones to honor people who have passed.
Remember the Panthers and Blue Jackets stopped their game for
(13:17):
Johnny Gudreau for tho seconds.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So there have been some things for.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
People who have passed away and other things.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
But the last time.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
A really big achievement or milestone happened and they stopped
the game for many minutes.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
It does look like it was for.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Gretzki and you said. That was for fifteen.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Fifteen minutes according to the Yahoo Sports article that I'm
reading that I believe is a AP story from many
years ago.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Okay, that means we stopped for sixteen when OVI passes it.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Absolutely, there we go and you know twice eight. I
love it. Some symmetry there.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I told you things work all right, very good, Tark.
I appreciate it. I'll see you. We I'll see you
guys tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, see you tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
All right, buddy, you gotta talk to you later.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
Nerd.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That was awesome.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
That was great,
When Wayne beat Gordie Howe that it stopped for that.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
That can't be the last time. God, damn it.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Where's tark elbow sheer? No, he's like a nerd for
that stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
And I did.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
That's a nice way, like Tark is a nerd for
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Do you want to call him?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
You have his number?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That's putting him on the spot. But that's a question
that you have his number a hockey fan such as you.
I believe. So I just got donut on my phone.
That's okay.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
It on my shirt.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And if you want the honest to God's truth, I
also have bacon grease on my underwear. What because my
fingers were greasy and I went to wipe them off,
but I didn't want to ruin my shorts because I
have to still wear them tomorrow, So I just wiped
it on my underwear.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
He has to wear those shorts tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
There are no more cargo shorts, No, but these are
the ones I wear.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Luckies t a R. I understand that.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Do you not have it?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
No, Christian? Will you go get my phone real quick?

I wonder how he's doing. You know what if I
can't get tark, we're calling based out there?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
He is, thank you, Christen, No, he may be. Is
he working based tart working out for John?
Speaker 6 (01:39):

No, I had a question.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
We were trying to we were talking about the when
when when when the goal happens for for Ov right
and to actually had a question. I'll ask you this first.
There's nothing planned at least I know, not with the league.
But there's nothing planned for when he ties it right.

Speaker 6 (08:52):
We living in?
Speaker 8 (08:53):
It's great baotball season and that's the first words out
of Linda cones mouth.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And by the way, it should be like that. Say this,
Linda Cone huge hockey fan. That is true, she's a massive,
massive hockey fan. But Sports Center should be like that
all the time. Everything Hockey should lead everything. We know that,
But I would if I if I ran ESPN every time,
he would not just a power play every time he's
on the ice.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I would cut to it.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Ellie, My favorite thing in the world is when we
go to Canada for games and I go into the
hotel and I turn the TV onto TSN or Sports
Net and it's and they cover hockey the way we
cover the NFL. And it's like, I mean, they're talking
about the Winnipeg Jets fourth line and their lack of production.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
It's like, I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It is it's the greatest thing.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I don't want to go.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Hold, so listen, Taric, here's why. And I got to
go because now I got Locker on hold. The the
the no no. But I wanted to I wanted to
ask you and I and please take this the right way.
But if there, if there's somebody who's nerdy and dorky
enough to know that, it would be you. Is the last
is the last time they stop the game for the
seven minutes with Gary out on the ice doing whatever?
(09:59):
And maybe it was that Bill Daily did Was it
for Wayne passing Gordy? Or has there been one since?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
That's a great question. I don't know the answer.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
But Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. Here's what I'm
gonna put you on hold. You'll think about it. Let
me see if Locker knows the answer. Hold on one second. Okay, Well,
this is gonna be awkward because I should be a
talking to Locker about Craig.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Hey, Buddy, I don't know the answer. Oh okay, Park, Look,
why am I doing that this Lortie. I just got
him late last night. Come on, man, well, because.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I had a question and I'm trying to call everybody
I know in hockey by the way, locker, can I
can I tell you something? And now's not the appropriate
time because I'm I'm treating you like you're a throwaway.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Why Tark's looking something up? Can I tell you? Can
I tell you something?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Though?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And listen, you know, I love Alan May. It is
so nice to have you back. It's everything feels so right.
It is so great to have you back on the
back on the air.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Oh thank you man.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It's been a long journey.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
It's been I've been working out and trying to get
back and ready to come back. And I'd sort of
put March third, the Sunday game on my calendar that
I was going to act like a player. When a
player gets injured, he sort of has a timetable and
when he was going to return. And that worked out
this perfectly. And it's so much different. I mean, you're
one of the biggest hockey fans ever and saw am
(11:23):
I and watching the Caps on TV, watching OV score
over these seven or eight weeks that I was gone
and then I got to go home Sunday and go
to the game Sunday and.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
He scored there.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
It's just a totally different feel and it just got
me juiced up to be back for the rest of
the season and into the playoffs and this Grade eight
chase is something spectacular.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Beyond belief and excited to be a part of it.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Hey, well, I was at the game on Sunday against
Buffalo when they shot you up on the up on
the jumpotron. It looked like it was been a naughty
holding a flashlight to your eyes.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Looked like they were a little bit running.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
They were a little bit runny, because, to be honest
with you, I did not know they were doing that.
Everyone kept it a secret from me. And then Joe
comes on and says, you know, I think we're going
to commercial. So I'm just chilling because I think he's
going to lead to a commercial break because it was
at the sixteen minute mark or whatever mark, and then
all of a sudden, he says, no, we're not going
to commercial, and I was like, what do you mean,
(12:24):
We're not going to commercial, I thought to myself, And
then all of a sudden, West started into the song
and dance and then I was front and center, but
I was caught off card and usually I know this stuff,
but I did not know they were going to do
that for me that day.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, it was awesome. It was awesome. All right, I'm
going to go back to h locker. Sorry to wake
you up after flying in last night. Hey, good to
talk to you.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Glad you're feeling well.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
All right, back, you got it. Talk to you later.
That is really uncomfortable and let's go here. Hey, Tark,
how are you great.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
I've been doing some research and my my crack research
says that No, the last time in it was a
fifteen minute ceremony for Gretzky's achievement, so it was quite long.
I believe that was the last one of that scale.
There have been other ones to honor people who have passed.
Remember the Panthers and Blue Jackets stopped their game for
(13:17):
Johnny Gudreau for tho seconds.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So there have been some things for.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
People who have passed away and other things.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
But the last time.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
A really big achievement or milestone happened and they stopped
the game for many minutes.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
It does look like it was for.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Gretzki and you said. That was for fifteen.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Fifteen minutes according to the Yahoo Sports article that I'm
reading that I believe is a AP story from many
years ago.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Okay, that means we stopped for sixteen when OVI passes it.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Absolutely, there we go and you know twice eight. I
love it. Some symmetry there.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I told you things work all right, very good, Tark.
I appreciate it. I'll see you. We I'll see you
guys tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, see you tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
All right, buddy, you gotta talk to you later.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
Nerd.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That was awesome.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
That was great,
