Pe uh.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
Courtesy of Miss Alicia DeMarco Alasco's lad Rock.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
This has been sitting in there for a little bit.
This is when she went to Oh Jesus know, I
wish I spoke and read multiple languages, could be really nice.
I don't know. It's a beer, Oh Slvakia. I think, yes,
it's beer.

Speaker 7 (03:50):
It's beer.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, it's got a nice ram on it nice Okay.

Speaker 6 (03:58):
Still the coolest beer that I had that she got
was that japan one where I opened the top and
the lemon just popped out, and I was like, whoa.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
That was.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
We need another one of those.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Uh, this is Heinigan yep, this is this is Slovakia
anagan nice yep.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Sounds about right.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
All right, Well let's go what's on top of day's episode?
Here is our week snapshot? Yeah, you know the Puma Pride.
I put Panther Pride. But that's uh, despite despite losing,
they just lost uh Kulakov, but they're without Barkov, they
have you know, Bullot other injuries, but they still just

(04:41):
continued to churn on. Yeah, churn on. And it's it's suppressing,
really is what it is. Because you want this team
to just suck so that maybe there's some new blood,
but no, you have you know, everyone's favorite Brad marsh
and I think he's leading the team right now in points,
thank god for him and fantasy.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
He's got too goals. The assists Lindel two goals. Want
to so that so that third line, well they're so
you know, so called third line is doing awesome. Uh,
but you get in you know, Sam.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
Skavich and Rodriguez and Foresling and all guys that you
you know, wouldn't really think they'd be contributing are contributing.
So they're just a fine tune machine. It's kind of
just depressing. Like I said, And Serge Bobrovsky, my call,
by the way, last week when we do things for
the VESNA is three and oh one six seven, so

(05:35):
early on means looking for it.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
But it is. Yeah, I do like it.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
But what is your been your guys opinions?

Speaker 6 (05:44):
Uh, And we'll at the end of the show, we'll
do what we did last year, which was that team
pick thing where if.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
You so.

Speaker 7 (05:52):
If you bet we didn't pay attention to last time,
I have.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
It you want to do one?

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Yeah, So in first I'll do this in fourth place.
I didn't actually tell the points. I just wrote who's
the fourth Uh? That would be shorts Gay in third place,
Dean in second place, actually, and in first place, the
champion Shmim get out of here.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
He came back.

Speaker 8 (06:27):
It was uh.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
I think he picked Tamp. You picked Tampa.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
There's a couple of the ones that all of a
sudden he got like a string off on two different teams,
and that much put them over.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I think by two.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
I didn't fully get that, but I just had like Shwim.
By two, I was four back on Shwim, and then
short Sky was seven back on Shwim.

Speaker 7 (06:44):
I'd demand to recount.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I'll go recount it. But Swim is the winner.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
We're living in an age.

Speaker 7 (06:52):
We're living in an age where if I don't like
the results, I can just say that they're not true.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
That is true. One yes, I won'able I did not.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
I did not end in fourth place. That's a that's
fake news.

Speaker 6 (07:09):
I will not concede, but I will I have a
I have a random order, auto generated UH four pick thing,
which I put myself as number one because I'm in line.
I put shorts guys too. I put Steven is three
and Showman's four, and it came out where shorts guy
gets the first pick. I get second, Shwim gets third,

(07:30):
Steven gets fourth, and we're gonna do a snake draft,
so you get.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
Four, so I get, I get because I don't like
these I don't like these results.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yep, so that'll be fun.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
We like doing that.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
I thought it was pretty good.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Start with Florida because they're the champions or.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
How we do it.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Yeah, so they they start off, yeah, they start off, uh,
and then it doesn't by days. So once there there
was I saw someone did this as two winners. You
can have the person that help holds it the most
amount of times and the person that ends with it.
The person that ends with it. Actually last year was me,
I had the last win of the season, but Shorts

(08:10):
Shwim won the most amount of times with his team
winning games. So yeah, so that's kind of pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
But yeah, back to what I was saying, what was
your favorite or anything stick out from this first week
of the season?

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Bad good players?

Speaker 7 (08:28):
You know, choice I call the choices in the AHL
Right now.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I saw that.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
It didn't take long.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Marinating.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Let's see. Yeah, so you had uh him uh and
then Shorts I had that great guy? Is he still
playing grit?

Speaker 5 (08:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
A good game against Tampa.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
All right, I don't know. I don't pay attention he did.

Speaker 7 (08:55):
Yeah, that might have been the first time that all
of us were pitted against each other in one night.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, excited, you got you and then he had uh yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:07):
Maybe yeah, I like it and it went terribly wrong
for me. Yep, and you got your butt kicked. It
was my game one where we got butt kicked.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
No, hold on, hold on, hold on hold, I'm gonna
I'm gonna pause this conversation because not only did it
go terribly wrong for Swim, but I also had this
lovely you got buttered bread which came immediately out of
the oven, which is the light screw. Yeah, you can't
see it. Uh yeah, I had this lovely bread that

(09:39):
came hot out of the oven, buttered with plant based butter,
and uh I got to snack on that while I
watched Tampa just look like crapped against my devils. Oh
it was great, and that's courtesy of the one and
only Brooke who was baking bread and gave me a nice, warm,

(10:00):
buttered piece to eat while I enjoyed Tampa losing. Sim
did I mention it.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Crying like a little girl?

Speaker 7 (10:09):
I didn't even enjoyed the Devil's winning, just enjoyed Tampa loosing.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
And crying.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Yes, and I was also enjoying my fresh baked bread.
Just in case.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
Breaking bread. I was baking brownies yesterday. I actually really
did big brownies.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Delicious Did you break? Did you bake brownies with brownie?

Speaker 7 (10:34):
I did not have imagine I should have.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
They would have been.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Today. So we are off topic. Yeah, I try to.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Steer us a little.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Talking about speaking of Yeah. Yeah, first week.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Fresh bake, fresh baked bread while Tampa is losing. That's
what we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, speaking of bad, I have two bads and.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Eric's crying. Yeah, that's wonderful. Speaking of bad. Uh, my
daughter just came down.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
You can say hi.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Uh. The Buffalo Sabers they are and three and horrible
goals yep, two goals, uh and today bread. Today they
lost to uh Colorado where mckinnone had two goals and
looked very good.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Did you guys see though, the two possible worst loss
of the season being that of the Sharks. Yes, yep,
one of the worst against. They have put up nine
goals in their first two games this season. Nine goals
and they've never trailed in either game and they're oh
and two. And that one, obviously that swimp's talking about,

(11:53):
would be the loss to Vegas where their goaltender at
first just gave the puck red away to who's the
goal scorer? Was Achel? Uh and then the second one he.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Shot it was the bouncer he like, oh yeah, he
dumped it.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Riley Smith was the one where yes, they came across him. Yeah. Uh,
so pretty good.

Speaker 6 (12:17):
And then uh yeah, so both teams doing pretty awful.
Islanders also being pretty bad, but they have seven goals
for thirteen goals against. Uh, they're also in the three.
That's one of the best things for the weekend. Hey
it was yeah, Billy Dean. How many times have you
heard your goal song so far this season? Actually quite

(12:39):
a few? Oh no, that's true, Yeah, because it has
home no two home games actually so so zero times.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, but we have scored a total of ten goals
and only allowed five, so overall pretty good.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
And I think in the one in the well you've
only allowed well, I mean two and those Pittsburgh is
one goalie empty nets yeah, two two. I mean it's
still a goal loud. But as far as goaltenders go.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Yeah, three empty nuts total. Im sorry, two empty nuts total,
one goal on the road, two goals at home. Yeah,
oh and two at home.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
Not great.

Speaker 6 (13:24):
But Charlie lynn Gren just socking it to us, especially
with I think he he obviously hates us because his
brother Ryan lynn Gren was you know, had the bad
send off by the Rangers, so he definitely got uh
was getting a little angry.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
The man we need just told my daughter to move over.
You should signat that's the man we need. On the
talk about the Ers.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, you should sign him though, Yeah, you should sign
him and then play him against the Rangers.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
Absolutely signed him, Hm, Ryan.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Lindgrin got signed a multi year deal with UH Seattle
Seattle Miners the Kracking Yeah, and he's an alternate captain
UH Seattle Crackings two and oh leading the Pacific.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
I want to go out there, so pretty good they
really do.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
It would be.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
I love that city. I was there once an O
six and I would love to go back. So going
to see a cracking game would be a worthy excuse
to go back to Seattle. Great coffee by the way
in Seattle.

Speaker 7 (14:31):
I feel like my overall observation with Week one is
that it was very much a Week one. Yeah, a
lot of a lot of anything right now, Yeah, a
lot of sloppy play across the board.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
The Devil's The Devil's first game looked like an absolute
opening game. It was terrible.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Tampa's second game against you guys looked like it should
have been their opening piece of crap game.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
Yeah you got gus could not get any shots. But
then again, you guys also lost before that the Senators.
How the hell did you lose to the Senators three
to one? And then they just stop pretty good, pretty good.

Speaker 7 (15:15):
They're they're like, yeah they're weird. It's weird, like they
can beat Yeah, they can beat anybody because their talent,
they have the talent and the skill. But then they
can just completely show. Yeah they have some nights for
they're a total show. I think they lost. They lost
to Nashville today, So for one, so there's a there's

(15:36):
an example. You mean, they come back and have this
great game against Tampa and then they play Nashville and
lose for to one and what looks like a pretty
pretty terrible.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
So Brooke and I were talking about this. I want
to I want to get your guys' take on this
because I know, watching the watching the Devil's An opening night,
the team just looked so disjointed and like a mess.
But if you think about the preseason, so much of
it is, you know, you rarely see your starters, you know,

(16:07):
playing for a full game. What if the final preseason
game came after your rosters were due, so that you're
actually getting one good game with your starting lineup going
into your first game of the season.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
It sounds like the Players Association just pretty much voted
against that and where they just reduced the number of
preseason games. So I don't know. Maybe they'll play in
one and maybe it'll be the last one, but even
even then, I mean, I don't know that they can.
These teams have such a difficult time trimming down their roster. Yeah,

(16:46):
I don't know that they want to. I don't know
that they want to trim down the roster and then
be like, you know what, let's let's do an exhibition game.
I mean, you see a lot of games where teams
will put basically their full team out there, you know,
give or take two maybe three guys Penguin. I mean,
they're they're big players, they played exactly two of seven
games two and one of.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
Them was that Flurry game, so understandable.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (17:11):
They came out, they came out flying against the Rangers.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
They look great.

Speaker 7 (17:13):
But some other teams, I feel like you get a
lot of these teams that maybe have like younger guys,
mostly younger guys, first year guys, because Pittsburgh does have
a lot of rookies. I feel like you see a
lot of the weaker teams, excluding the Sabers, come out
with a lot of fire when the season starts, and
the better teams come out real sluggish and real sloppy.

(17:36):
And that's why you tend to see some pretty weak teams.
And I think even Buffalo in the past has started
out the season really strong. I think there's been a
couple of seasons with in the last bunch of years
where they were in first place in the division and
and then you know, reality kicks and everybody gets you know,
catches up, and then.

Speaker 6 (17:52):
Yeah, and I'll just say, right when you don't play,
they have their their season ended so long ago that
they get right there up in yar and to go.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
While other teams, maybe if especially.

Speaker 7 (18:05):
Even f short Sky, if they did do like that
last preseason game after the rosters, they're still they're still
not going to give They're still not going to give
much of a ship because they still don't want to
get hurt. So and that's still You're still going to
have like a little it's almost like, you know, a
little dress rehearsal, but it's nothing compared to Game one,
and I think you yeah, still, I mean, it could
help potentially, but I think you'd still sloppy to play.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
And that's and and and I'm not saying that they
you know, they have to go all out in that
in that final game, but it's exactly that. It's that
dress rehearsal. So you get that that one real good
game situation with the guys that you're probably going to
be starting with, uh, you know, playing with on your lines.
You know, you give your starter a pretty good game.
You've got your defensive pairings that you're going to go

(18:49):
into game one, so that maybe you can go into
game one with a little bit with a little bit
more and you don't look so slop because it's just
I don't know. It was just so that that Brook
and I were talking about it, and it seemed like
to me, it seemed like a pretty decent idea to
be able to do that, and you they don't have
to go all out for that game. But at least

(19:09):
if those starters, those those line combos like, you know,
one game together because you we all know is uh,
you know, it's when you play with a team for
the first time or for the first time in a
long time, it's it's just sloppy. Yeah, So having the
Raser cuts do before that final preseason game could at

(19:31):
least alleviate a little like get crap out, you know.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
It definitely it did, it certainly could certainly could help,
and there's but there's also nothing stopping there's nothing stopping
teams from you know, the last game of the preseason
dressing who you're you know pretty sure is going to
be your full squad. So nothing's like really preventing you
from doing that. But oftentimes you do want to see
like that last little bit from like fringe guys maybe
to see if you know, competition. But at the very least,

(19:57):
if you're going through the preseason, you know, keep full
lines intact, especially the ones that you know are going
to be a line instead of having like one maybe
two of them in there have a full line you know,
have full pairs play together and like rotate around the
preseason games or whatever, and you know, goaltenders it is
what it is. They get their time. But yeah, no,

(20:20):
I don't know that we're ever gonna like it goes
across every sport where it's just the opening night is
always it's either a surge of energy or the polar opposite,
and I don't think you get much of in between.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
Yea, yeah, I feel like especially with you an NFL,
they started getting rid of like more preseason games and
now they don't do two days, so you know those
games at the beginning, you're not really you haven't even
really jelled with your teammates. I think the same thing
with the NHL, where it's you don't have as many
preseason games and you're not skating with your actual line
mates sometimes where.

Speaker 7 (20:53):
If you're learning a new system too, like if you
have a brand new coach and you're learning a new system,
I mean, it's all of a sudden you're trying to
mesh every one together for the system. I mean, but again,
like sometimes it were sometimes that like lights of fire
under your ass, and it makes you like work harder
and be more excited because it's like, you know, brand new,
But sometimes it's it does the opposite. Sometimes you have

(21:15):
half the team on board, sometimes the other half isn't
on board. So it takes a little while for these
guys to really get into I don't want to say
mid season form, because that obviously mid season form is
mid season, but just just kind of get their feet
under them and and start to to really mesh. Because
it's still just like even in game even in Game three,
I mean I game through the the Penguins game that

(21:36):
was although for the majority of the beginning of that
game they were out playing the Rangers, and in most
areas there was a lot of sloppy just like spin around,
blind backhand through, the freaking slid the power play goal
instead just like I don't know what he was doing
sometimes with Superstars, even like some of these plays like

(21:59):
he just like backhanded it through. He tried to backhand
it through every Ranger across to the other side and
it got intercepted and they went down score short handed.
So even like you know, Game three, you still see
sloppy habits, but hopefully yeah, but I feel like it's
still going back to the point, I still feel like

(22:19):
this was very much a weak one where he saw
a lot of sloppy, sluggish stuff and some teams just
won because you know, they're just better, and it just
the out sloppy and sluggish.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
Yeah, yeah, they sucked less. That that's the way to
put it. You know, they they sucked less. And you know,
it's just I don't know, Like, to me, it just
seems like it gives you an opportunity to actually fine
tune your roster before your your your final game.

Speaker 7 (22:44):
Yeah, but I don't think they're ever going to really
nail down the preseason. I think it's always just going
to be reduce it to as minimal as possible so
no one gets hurt during the preseason and if they
get hurt during the regular season, I guess that's better
than getting hurt in the preseason.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
But yeah, yeah, and uh, I don't know, it's just
it's just a conversation we're having. I thought it was
would be interesting to bring up because.

Speaker 7 (23:06):
Yeah, yeah, that would be I mean, I can do
any harm.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
It definitely would, No, it won't, you know, and then
and then and then maybe you know, you have all
the pre all the final preseason games on one night,
and then you have a window if you have to
bring someone up because the injury or whatever the next day. Like,
I don't know, you could do something with it, Eric, Hey, Eric,

(23:33):
but uh, yeah, it's it's I don't know, just interesting.
That's great diaper duty for dad, all right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Great podcast. Yeah, So.

Speaker 6 (23:54):
I was looking through and you know, you obviously see
a lot of the big guys come out scoring already, McKinnon, Michael,
a couple of the guys Caprizov, guys that are coming
off of new contracts or guys looking for contracts. But yeah,
Marty Nachus eight points and he's gonna look for that
pay day at the end of the season. Most likely

(24:14):
he's gonna be a free agent. We'll see, you know,
maybe Colorado resigns him, tries to, but I could see
him making a bullload. Yeah they should, but she's playing
well with them, your boldie.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
And.

Speaker 7 (24:30):
He's probably gonna make the money that they should have
given to Randon.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
Yeah, which, yeah, it does surprise you sometimes that they don't.
They would rather pay somebody else instead of you know,
the the guy that's been there for forever.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
But by the way, By the way, the BJ has
just got snake bitting on a three on one and
the Devil's countered for a goal the beach. Oh oh man,
grits yuk, grits yuk to mercer on a one timer.

(25:07):
The girls, the the American Girl Scout Association of the
Greater Las Vegas Area is not happy tonight. Oh man.
So I've got this, I've got a question that throw you.
I've got another thing to throw you because Brooke is
curious of this. What are you guys' thoughts? And on

(25:30):
the dropping of the dress code for players coming to
the game, I like it.

Speaker 7 (25:36):
I could not give any less of a ship.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yeah, that's a big answer. Who cares?

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Whatever the help they want, I don't care.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
Yeah, it should be an expression they do in the
n f NFL they do what everything like, just let
the guys do what they want to do.

Speaker 7 (25:51):
I feel like, but most of them show up exactly.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
When there.

Speaker 7 (26:00):
When they're showing all them walking into the ring, everybody's
walking the same stuff. Coffee shoes. I mean, I feel
like some weren't wearing ties this time.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yeah, that's probably Some.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
Hockey players have no personality, so it's like it's so
imag like.

Speaker 7 (26:17):
You know, Austin Matthews and you had p K su
Band when he was playing, but you had guys that
were showing up that like wanted to express themselves with
that we're doing it. So I don't know what this
dress code.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Does. Speaking of the PK.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Did he was Is he off an Intel network ESPN?

Speaker 5 (26:38):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (26:39):
I think he is the t Josh he took over.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, so is he fully done?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
It?

Speaker 6 (26:44):
Even says east Penry signed uh p K sue Band,
Kevin Weeks and lay Hext all the multi year agreements.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
So I wonder what Pek is doing.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
I don't know what he's doing though, maybe he's on vacation.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Maybe.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (26:57):
Well, I know that t j Oshi Oshi's inclusion just
up the bro level of that broadcast too.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Oh yeah, that's why I think they have messy there
because they just think this is too much bro.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
Mhm, it's not so much bro.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
No matter who they get in there, it's not good hockey.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
They aren't good and it's all, it's all. It's everything
is so forced. Also, it's like forced dialogue and forced answers,
Like you can tell some of these guys don't give
the answers that they want to give like they had
t j Oshi and for the Rangers Penguins game, and
you know he's talking about how, you know great you
know Crosby and Malkin and all them. He just the
entire the entirety of the time when he was with

(27:41):
the Caps, he hated all of them. There's no way
he wants to say anything good about any of them.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Yes, it's just let them Callahan.

Speaker 7 (27:51):
Yeah, and you know some of these guys have like
nothing great but okay, yeah, well, I mean paratively maybe,
but like.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Who else got let go? He got let go? And
somebody else got let go? Who got like go on
ESPN Callahan and somebody else?

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Oh Callah?

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Handed Well, Callahan says that he left on his own outward.

Speaker 7 (28:16):
But maybe mutual mutual separation they didn't re sign him
or it's crazy how the two like Hall of Famers,
who who people you know believe are you know two
of the best, well one they consider the best and
one is one of the best. Are two of the
worst analysts that they have on the freaking panel. Messier
and Gretzky are horrible, horrible and I can't I can't

(28:39):
imagine Gretzky ever coaching, and I actually I understand why
he was he was so bad at it.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
I know he did.

Speaker 7 (28:45):
And now I understand why he was so bad because
he listened to him talk and it's just like the
guy's got like no personality. Maybe he does, you know
behind closed doors. I mean, I don't want to. I
never met the guy, so I wouldn't know. But just
he's just a freaking what did Leo call, uh Manila
folder on a beije, Wall.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Said that like a long time ago.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
That's pretty good one.

Speaker 7 (29:10):
Just nothing, just nothing, man, it.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Seems like more annoying than anything. When you listen to him,
he is I.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Do like like, I do like, but I do like
him and p K together because p K sticks it
to him. And then yeah, okay, but I like how peak.
I like Ki actually got some personality.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Freaking mess yeah, stiff and the same thing every single game,
after every single he just cares.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
About his leadership award and and his Uh what is
a Game seven? Uh it's the patches on the Rangers thing,
it's his company or whatever.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
Wait is that on the Centennial Jersey You got a
patch on there?

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah? Yeah, it's Game seven. Yeah, that's the.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
That's the advertising company, that's a that's a sponsor. Ye
known for one thing, and that's it being useless.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, the hat trick.

Speaker 6 (30:04):
Well, I mean not just one thing, right, I mean
he obviously the hat trick and it was a game
six and then you know, him hoisting the cup and
going bonkers with it was the big thing. But it
did some pretty amazing things in Edmonton too. Yeah, his
better career was an Edmonton. He just it's forgotten because

(30:26):
he just brought the.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Rangers out of it.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Well Rangers, he would be working for them right now.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
He wants to be their head coach. He just keeps
getting rejected.

Speaker 7 (30:36):
I don't blame them.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
Coach probably terrible, Yeah, he probably is going to be
a horrible hit. He was he was wasn't he coached
to for a little while.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
No, MESSI was never head coach, coach and on the bench.

Speaker 6 (30:50):
Yeah, he saw uh Laane Hudson get it signed to
a new contract eight years, seventy point eight million.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
So yeah, so he was eight point five.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Point eight five.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah, eight point five.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
Yeah, I'll take that. I mean, I I I'm the crew.
Good God, just as I mentioned extension my toothless contract
the cat Melvin just says, I'm gonna cover you guys.

Speaker 7 (31:32):
It's like, hey, I'm the financial advisor here.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
Yes, yeah, I mean really not much too much news obviously,
just the season starting, you know. I mean, like I said, Florida, Yeah,
Florida's in first place. Three and oh three and oh
Boston three and one just had their lot first loss

(31:56):
to Tampa Montreal to and one. So the normal oris
you'd see, you know, Toronto's definitely play three games, so it's.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Nothing to worry about. But let's let's go back the
other night Toronto, you did a good one too.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
Let's kind of let's kind of go back to where
we were. We were talking in the beginning where Steven
I think you said it where it's, uh, you know,
the the better teams kind of stumble out of the
gate and they have a slow start and the crappy
teams kind of do very well. Buffalo Sabers. Could that
be the case with this year's Florida Panthers. Could could? Could?

Speaker 7 (32:36):
I think getting I think they're getting by. They're just
getting by on skill at this point, and they're playing
They're playing fine. I don't think they're dominant by any means,
but they're playing fine. And I think even Opening Night,
whould they play Opening Night Chicago?

Speaker 5 (32:54):
Chicago?

Speaker 7 (32:55):
Chicago gave them Chicago was right the entire time, So
in Chicago's thinks. So, I mean, there's your example right there,
and you know they're kind of finding their footing now.
But the Florida's got loads of skill, and even the guys,
the lower name guys like you were talking about, like
Anton Mondell did when when Barkoff was hurt last season,
Lindell stepped in and was he was awesome. So I

(33:17):
he they might even be, you know, misusing him down there,
because if he was giving getting top line minutes, he
could potentially be a superstar on another team.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
If he's got almost APO.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
He was almost a pointed game guy in the playoffs.
He was extremely good in the playoff run.

Speaker 7 (33:34):
Yeah, and like I said, when he when they gave
him the first when they gave him first line minutes
when Barkoff went down, he was incredible last year. And
then all of a sudden, he Barkoff comes back and
they throw him back on the third line, not even
like the second line. They throw him back into a
checking line. They reduce his minutes by like you know,
six per game. I think that's a that's a great
it's a great replacement. So you know, nothing against Barkoff

(33:57):
because Barkoff isn't you know, he's the new Selki Trophy,
the new I guess I would say, yeah, yeah, But
Londell is he's great, and then Sam Sevich is also great,
so they and Evan Rodriguez he can he can bring offense.
So they have I mean front to back, they have

(34:19):
the roster to make up for sluggish starts. But I
think that they're You have some teams, some of the
good teams are you know, winning, so it's not like
all of them, you know, stumble. Some of them might
be doing it a little sloppy, but they still win
just because they're better than the other team and the
other team is also sloppy. But like I think at
this point, I don't think, I off the top of

(34:40):
my head, I don't know. I mean, you have some
teams that are like two and oh whatever, But I
don't see any of the like bad teams that look
great at the moment that are like surprising because they
just haven't been as that many games yet. I mean,
we can look at it at like the ten game
mark maybe and see where some teams are at and
see if any teams are overachieving, which happens every year.

Speaker 6 (34:59):
So yeah, I'll just say Florida is a two big
off season acquisitions. Sam Bennett and Nico Mikola resigned. They're
both minus seven total.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
Good. I hope they suck on Thursday. I hope they
suck on Thursday.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
All right, So let's do our in season Cup, which
is which is going to be. We'll pick teams.

Speaker 6 (35:28):
It'll be short sky picking first fall by myself, swim
shorts guy, sorry, and then Steven. So once again, you
once the you pick the team. That is the team
you will have uh for the manager of the season
if they get a win. So once right now right

(35:49):
Florida's in the lead because they won the cup. For
every win they get, you will get a point as
long as they have it. Once someone beats them, they
then take the crowd crown. I think kept points break
each day that they have it, not too Yeah, it's
each each day.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
No, it's each day. I'm sorry, and it wasn't each day,
and then.

Speaker 7 (36:11):
That means I mean team has it. So the recount
will say that I actually won last season.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yes, no, you had the most shwimm of the most days.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
I don't agree, So.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Okay, yeah, we'll take a look.

Speaker 3 (36:29):

last year.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (36:36):

easy for me.

Speaker 2 (37:02):

So thank you, shorts.

Speaker 7 (37:10):
You're welcome.

Speaker 3 (37:13):

picking them.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Next see swims going by schedule.

Speaker 5 (37:25):

Instead of picking just the best team.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
And the Devils Devils on Thursday, say oh my god, Florida,
God damn team.

Speaker 5 (37:36):

All right, So here's my internal poll says, I don't
have to take the Islanders.

Speaker 6 (45:02):
Yeah, uh, Shorts guy, Vegas, Boston, Edmonton, Nashville, New Jersey,
Columbus Kings and the Islanders. King's pro decent pick right
there myself. Florida, Dallas, Tampa, Montreal, Vancouver, Anaheim, Detroit, Philly,
Shwim Toronto, Carolina, Utah, Seattle, Ottawa, New York Rangers, shorts, Uh,
San Jose, and Buffalo. I think Shrimp's got the worst

(45:25):
short uh Steven, Colorado, Winnipeg, Minnesota, Washington, Saint Louis, Pittsburgh, Calgary, Chicago.

Speaker 7 (45:34):
That's pretty good. Such Chicago.

Speaker 6 (45:36):
Yeah, Shwim Duffy is the worst roster. His fourth team
is Seattle, and it just goes downhill from there.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
No, I won this ship last year. What are you
talking about?

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Yeah, yeah, we see how well you're.

Speaker 7 (45:48):
Pretty Hey hey, hey, hey, anything else I'm walking? Let
me just scord. Hey, Jimmy Snugger roots scored. Oh wait,
that's the same Jimmy.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
I don't have him.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Hey, it's me Jimmy.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
So does tonight's game count the Florida versus Philly? It will, yes, Okay,
who has h oh wait, you have the Flyers, so
you can't lose?

Speaker 2 (46:19):
I can't, Yes, correct, son of a bee. But I
don't think Florida is going to win.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
So h there we go.

Speaker 5 (46:31):
Someone doesn't sound happy.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Yeah, I'm not gonna sound happy in a minute.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
With the change of diaper a.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Yeah, all right, uh, yep. Unless you guys got anything
ounce we can get out of here.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
Jake the Snake is dominating in Columbus as many in
the BJS.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
Yep, Lo's just scored. They're up three to one on
the Canucks. Snugger Rude the Mammoth are on a five
on four and the Kings are down.

Speaker 7 (47:10):
I'm really rooting for Mammoths. I want to see them
make the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (47:17):
Utah playoff Atmosphereosphere, which gonna be good. It's to check
it out, although I still wish that for that. Somehow,
by some stroke of mad luck, there was a Stanley
Cup Final at the Mullet. Id awesome.

Speaker 7 (47:35):
That would have been wild.

Speaker 5 (47:36):
Yeah, oh my god. Could you imagine the price of
what just short of five thousand tickets would have been
for a Stanley Cup Final per ticket?

Speaker 7 (47:45):
I don't know, but like there would have been there
would have been even fewer. It would it would have been,
It would even you know, they they probably they had
to have picked a different site than the Mullet. They
had to have because with the entire through that comes
in first for there's no way, because there's there's no way.
They didn't ever do a nationally broadcast game from there, right,
I can't imagine that one.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
What if? What if Arizona liked the friendly confines of
the Mullet and wanted the games there? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (48:12):
I don't know. I wish, I wish we could have
found out.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
But yeah, I would have been great.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
Those tickets either would have been five thousand apiece or
five dollars apiece.

Speaker 7 (48:22):
Oh wow, Josh Norris is already missing eight weeks.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
Welcome that I cannot stay healthy.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
No, he can't cannot.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
It really sucks.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
And oh, the Buffalo Sabers.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Would you rather own the Buffalo Sabers or the Dallas Cowboys?

Speaker 2 (48:41):
Dallas Cowboys can sell them and make a boatload.

Speaker 5 (48:46):
You just don't understand what Seriously, it's true. You don't
have a hat signed by Tom Landry, do you? Hey?

Speaker 7 (48:53):
How about Scott Wedgwood's that way dominating friend of our team,
Ryan Brown friend of Brownie. No, just like his stats dominating.
I'll get your stats in the second if this freaking
thing will load.

Speaker 5 (49:12):
