Me and Ryan have been officially welcomed to the jungle that is basketball sports. I brought it towards the coyotes, and I asked him if it was okay if I joined the special spot that full time. No, little bit, little, little, Ryan witty, got a pink witty out there now. He can't, the song man, it's a full time member, Marley's just gotten us, it's from Chris

Fate. Whoa, where I'm buzzing right now, song. What is up everyone, welcome to episode 632 of the Spitt and Shaka's Podcast, that's right Pinky's up show note opening day, yes we are a hockey podcast, but my love of baseball on the Boston Red Sox and just Pinky's up Pinky's right up into the batter's box is

opening day begins.

“I think the Red Sox played the red dinner ball an hour and a half, shout out Pinky's”

up, shout out Pink Whitney, shout out Brock Lesnar guys. We gotta send him some pictures. He got in touch with his after he said, I want to try this Pink Whitney stuff said, well, you might end up with the fucking tattoo of something else on your back considering you were drunk and got that tattoo of the sword.

What a great question that was with, like I've had that's a wild story.

Oh, never in a million years did I expect him to just kind of wake up and be like, what

is this? I thought there was a lot of meaning behind it. Now he did say, felt like his back was against the wall, but I hope everyone enjoyed a Brock Lesnar week biz thanks for setting that up and ended up being awesome. I didn't know I'm not a big wrestling guy that he doesn't do many interviews, so the

wrestling online community, we were all over the wrestling. Yeah, they were going crazy. There were these like wrestling accounts that were posted in videos and clips from the interview were like quoting it and it was getting like 70, 80, 90 comments. Some of them, some of them might fucking blow up where they had like a million people clicked

on the tweet to read what was going on, so never in a million years that I expected to blow up that much because I didn't realize he just didn't do that many interviews like that, I would just over assume because I feel like, yeah, you're probably the most knowledgeable wrestling guy that a lot of these guys like self promotion is kind of what they do. Yeah, but then there's also like an aura to some guys like undertaker that didn't do a lot

of interviews, stone cold like guys like that during their runs, but maybe a little bit since they've retired like stone cold and undertaker has, but yeah, he was one of those

“guys that you never, I mean, even just the way he lives, right?”

He lives off the grid, he moved to Canada, like he doesn't want any publicity, but what I got and should we tell the fans now that you're joining the WWE business? Yeah, which I think is such a no-brainer. There's a bidding war actually right now between WWE and AEW because we were with Adam Copeland yesterday on the podcast. We had him because AEW is owned by TNT or Paramount or whatever

fucking company owns us now. That stuff changes pretty quickly now, but I would love to. Mike, my whole, um, you're 45 S1. No, I, I would bring a massage therapist with me on the road, Robin Todd. You could have a time, missus, be your like Paul. My lady, my partner. Oh, that's his finisher. He has these tie ladies run out and jump on the guys backs and then you turn them. Oh, check. Thanks. Um, yeah. Like, no, whoa. Yeah. Yeah, they're Canadian.

But for anyone who, for anyone who like myself, like we're not into the WWE or wrestling, the interview is awesome because you just go through a guy's life that's got to the top of the mountain and three separate kind of careers. So while he's lived a bunch of different lives and I'm telling you, you wouldn't have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it. Just a crazy interesting guy who's turned into just a hockey dad now. So I, I hope the people

didn't enjoy to listen and I hope if you were like, ah, it's not for me. You go check it out. I think doing, uh, like a biz does BC, like you going to his property and hanging out with him

I would love to learn how to wrestle though. My whole, I would, especially with the climate right now.

I would come out with the Canadian flag to all these small town American cities and just start

“ripping into Americans. They would just like, oh, I might not make it out alive. But I think I could”

really create ideas. Yeah. I would have the, the Maple Leaf flag and then the leaf is right on my junk, which I don't know, leaving it to appreciate that. But, uh, but definitely, uh, been, my wheels have been spinning. If you couldn't hear the hamster wheels all the way for me in Utah right now, it'd be, it'd be like the chic and Hulk Cogan back in the day when he used to come out with like the, I think it was like, I ran flag or whatever it was and he, he was like the biggest heel

ever during those times. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Were, were they, they were at war then I got, I'm assuming. Yeah. The more the more things change the more they stay. Same again. I'm a Black Circle. Um, we don't want to compare busy candidates. I ran right now. I mean, that's probably a little bit

over our heads. But the NHL playoff race boys is not our heads. And, and basically, I love

“your back at TNT this week. Um, you saw some excellent hockey. I think I kind of want to start with”

the Ottawa game against Detroit. I don't know if you guys mind if we go that first because I am, I am so impressed with Ottawa boys. I, I can't believe what's gone on there and listen, we've brought up throughout the course of the season that if you look at all the numbers and all the teams out there that just need to save, Ottawa might be the best team, Edmonton's there. But Ottawa, when they get gold tending, they can play with anyone. And they

went into New York on Monday night. They were the only game on the slate. And they kind of burned their head. Yeah, I sense the sarcasm there. Just like they got, they got the win.

I think they might have thought it'd been a little easy, but they pulled it out. No worries. Now,

in that game, Thomas Shabbat gets crosschecked by J.T. Miller. I've seen a lot of people on Twitter kind of going at Brady could talk about when they were on their podcast, um, with Matthew. Brady was talking about what they do and how they would approach somebody who does something to one of their teammates, the way Toronto had a lack of response for the Gootis hit on Matthews. So all these Brady could chuck haters and I didn't do anything to J.T. Miller. I got to be honest,

guys, I thought it was a pretty normal, frost check type hit. Like maybe people think I'm insane, but it's just like you're cutting across the blue line. You just, that's not like a vicious crosscheck. It just caught him in the perfect, and I by me, perfect. Like curvy dog. Yeah, but that was more, that was more like a hot check, right? Right. This was just, it just caught him right where the elbow pad ends, the glove ends, and it's pretty, because what? Is that a better

example, Hyman? No, Hyman's was a hit, too. Oh, Hyman was a hit, too. Okay. All right. Well, this is like you know, when a D's coming out, you know, when a forwards coming out the D, and they just crosscheck you quick, like if they're trying to get through, like you just give

“them a quick crosscheck on the arm, and that's how it happened. Buck got him right on the button.”

And sometimes you just hit him right on the perfect spot, and then, you know, bingo bangled. That's such a brutal loss for them, especially the way they've been buzzing and how well he's been playing. Obviously, my sarcasm was, um, and quickly going over the rangers, just a horrendous horrendous season, especially at home. How many times have been shut out at home? They tied a franchise worse nine shots. Well, that was almost like Dolan might have called Batman. No, they really put

on a letter. They, they got another shot, which is such like at that point, it's like just that is break some sort of record this year as the few was to mount a shots at home we've ever had with nine. Nope, the next day of the out of shots, so they finished with 10 shots that game. Buck is your right. That was the night of all nights at MSG to be like Holy Shit. And I think right when that game ended. It was the next one. A Keith sent a text to the group chat. Did anyone

see these five teams being the worst five teams in the East? And there's no chance anyone did. We got the rangers. We got the Leafs. We got the Panthers. We got the Devils. And who is the fifth worst right now? The Rangers twice. The capitals. The capitals. So the worst part about it, Micah's advantage at celebrating his 1,000th game. He actually had three shots. He's trying to pull his weight. What a credit he's had over over 800 points in those 1,000 games. So I know he takes a lot

of flak, mecha with the dry hair. But between dropping mega mix bangers in Abiza and playing hockey games and scoring points and conditioning is here. I mean, what a fucking run. What a run boys. Now, so Ottawa, they get that. They get that win against just a horrible hockey team. And Mark

but an Eastern conference playoff race fan. And he said tomorrow night, like biggest game in the year, I'm already excited. Said some other things. Like what's up with Shabbat blah blah blah. Well, it didn't come out before the game. But it just came out now. Shabbat's out 4 to 8 weeks. Just an ultimate kick in the deck. This is a team that they're already playing without Jake Sanderson. So it's like that's an enormous loss right there. And then you find out that Shabbat's out

who's playing incredible since Sanderson went out with injury. And we get news that Carter,

what is it? Yeah. Yeah, Chuck. Yeah. Yeah, Chuck. Yeah, Chuck. This one. We will be. We will be able to save this guy's name correctly soon enough because he draws into the lineup. And I don't know for 12 minutes played one of the most impressive debuts I've ever seen. He starts it off into Troy with. Maybe the balls he is just typical young guy. He's last guy back at the back. I literally wrote that down with. Like when did these young guys just get the freedom to do whatever the

fuck they want? Like imagine you your first game in the NHL with Terry and on the bench just at the blue line going between the legs, D to D not even like a bump play. D to D. He would have

“gone by the left ear down the tunnel if I can read them. That's how he's here. So big. Yeah, I'm going to shove the”

cigarette in my mouth. I'm like smoke this whole thing and go back on the ice. But just an incredible

pass over the stuttle. And he fires what it looks like he got, but Brady tipped it in. Then he scores a beautiful goal. Kind of weights out, weights out the goal. He comes down low. The sense get this enormous win. I feel sick to my stomach for the wings fence. I think we chatted right before March. Boys can the red wings figure out March. This is the year. I think there I think there might be in one boys. I think they're fucked. Yeah. And it's just this regulation loss at home to auto a

plane on a back to back with I think five regular defenseman out. But I mean, how do you not pump auto was tires? And the best part about it was a team who's needed goal-tending. Line us all mark. Stuttle and his head in the final minute. He robbed Larkin twice. They get the win and it's like, oh my god, the auto was senators. A team that is going, if they finish eighth, whoever wins the east is just going to be sick to their stomach that they have them first place. If it goes down that way.

So another thing too is I think they're second in the league on five on five analytics. Like on outside of goal-tending, obviously, which was a major concern in the first half of the season and you mentioned that. Like that is a scary team, especially playoff time. We know not as many penalties being called. Typically, if they're able to stay disciplined in Odyssey, Sanderson,

“Skaton. So I'm assuming he'll be back and ready to go and not the worst thing. Considering”

Shabbat's out him getting a little bit of rest, making sure he's completely fresh. Like, you're going to be riding him 30 minutes a game. Oh, 30, 32, 30 again. Oh, he's going to be going to be East Coast Maccar in no time here. So very impressive. And like you said, man, I would not want to meet them in the first round of playoffs. I think it's one of those things where when you go into the playoffs, and especially this year with not as many elite goal-tending in the playoff

race right now, like going against all mark is not something I'd want in the first round. Like he's kept feeling it. He's he's he's nine two in two since coming back from his time off or whatever. So he's

just been absolutely incredible. Got everything figured out and he's just playing out standing right

now and that playing good in front of them too. We actually had a debate on on TNT about coach of the year in the jackout of trophy. We can get into that whenever you guys want, but a clip was going

“around in the last few days of Travis Green. And this was, I think, right after all that bullshit”

had gone down and there was just a lot of outside noise. Some of which probably created by us talking about Brady Brady getting dealt to the United States somewhere. But he's just he was just basically like boys enjoy this win, ignore the fucking white noise. Keep all the bullshit outside this lock room, continue to believe what we're doing here. And it was just a pretty good clip seeing that you could tell that the guys are bought into what he's selling. And you know, he said, I actually played

against him and the call their cup final when he was with you to call before he ended up getting called up to Vancouver. So he's had a very interesting path as a head coach, whether it was in the minors of the NHL. And I really feel that he's found his groove. And he's hitting all the right buttons with with that auto a senator's team. So I'm happy for him. He seems like an absolute fucking beauty, too. Yeah, he does. And Brady actually on on the podcast with Matthew was talking

about his fight with Andrews Lee that I think I brought up last episode. And he asked, uh, he told cousins, like, hey, I'm lining up on the right side, cousin said he knew right away with that man. And he said to Andrews Lee, like, hey, I kind of need this. He want to get the boys going. He's like, let's get the boys going. He said you want to square off. You want to get right into it. He's like,

like, I guess having played, or even if you didn't play, like, I love that so much because Brady

“says after, like, it's about I think I have so much respect for him. He is respect for me. And we just”

wanted to set the tone that it was in a norm. I basically play off type game. And it's it's so cool that

that's still a part of hockey. And I think always will be because it's like, hey, I kind of need this

one. You want to go, let's do it. And two captains just square it off. Oh, yeah. And it's one way, too. Like, you got called out by his coach a little bit in the media. It's one way you can, you can control what you can bring, right? Like, I remember getting called out one time by Jim play fair when we were in Edmonton. And I went, and I thought, um, who's that big dude on your team? Leonard Putnall. Was it Putnall? Was it Putnall? Was it him? It was some big, like, finish guy. He was strong. His ship, my net was,

I couldn't move my net for like three weeks. Oh, no. Was it, um, was it the guy who ended up playing in the cage? I'll light it up for years. Fuck. I got to check out the oil. There's the oil. There's Ross. We did. These were the years where you guys were getting booed. Coming. Oh, it's the decade of darkness, bud, decade of darkness. But it's just, say, just one of those things that you can control, right? Biz that you can go out and show a little spark show that you, you carry and that

it matters to you. Teemo, Teemo hard to hard to kind of. He's still playing right now. Gee, look up who I fought in Edmonton. There's got to be Putrell then. Let it go. Leonard Putrell. Leonard Putrell, arrested in Chicago, woke up one more. They taught them ready to bail him out on all-time guy. A great guy. He didn't do anything wrong. I think he slapped somebody's glasses out of their hand in the club. And he was been drunk, but an awesome guy.

And I think he was gone. I think the next morning that was it. We never saw Leonard Putrell again.

No, it was borderline guys. It just say, you can't, you got no, yeah, no leaves. He was a killer. It looks like Lenny got arrested. The next morning. Also going back to the Brady thing with with JT Miller, like, as like, like you said, it's kind of harmless as it was, where it wasn't intentional. Also a little difficult when you just battled your dick off together

“at the Olympics. And it's Kai. Not saying you should be doing that matters to Brady. I know”

I'm not saying you should be playing tummy sticks, but I'm also saying it does make it a little bit more difficult. No. I don't think for a guy like Brady it does. Like if he saw it and thought it was bad, there's no way he's not doing something. If it was his own brother, he would have done something. Right. And I think I think them having their pockets, which is very entertaining. It's awesome. They do it. But when you say something like that, that creates the noise that I don't know if

he's heard, but that has been on the internet. Like, oh, you said, you always protect your guys,

and then they didn't. And it's like, that's just kind of, that's what comes. That's maybe some of the outside stuff that comes from Walt playing, having a pause. Oh, you don't say, yeah, you think that. You mean, dumb stuff we say gets used against this? Oh, sure. News to me. But yeah, it's going back to what you said, too, that like, like, when you got,

“or maybe it was you with it, like, when you get the two captains going at it, it's like, I think I”

didn't go donor and dust and brown when I had it one time, it just, like, the elevation on the bench and the energy, it just gets to a different level. What other captains you think don't worry? You know, the all time one off. But the all time captains. Like, cavalier again. That's it. And it was the cup finals, too. So it's like, I don't know if that'll ever. And there's definitely going to be some captain square off that people maybe tweet us about after that. We're not thinking

up, but the caveat again, uh, cup finals and both of them throwing bombs because everyone knew again, look at fight. I think the league knew that how tough Vinnie was, but like, that was, like, he was throwing left and they were what a series. I also think nowadays, too, like, the captains of the teams aren't necessarily, they're more of the skill guys, the best players on the team, like, back in the day, the guys, the guys who were a captain were maybe a little more gritty, but

to see it nowadays makes it even better because those guys are usually the best players scoring the most goals get in the most points. But when they drop those minutes, it's outstanding. So this is kind of random and going back to what you said off the hop with the opening day. There's a couple things. We got a big opening day style sandbagger dropping today. It would have already came out when you're listening to this, uh, with Ernie Clement, uh, Davis Schneider and, uh, Lucas,

what's, uh, I forget this one. Lucas, and I give you a compliment right now. I don't think you've ever been funnier in your life than the 99. My Mona Lisa buddy. I was in my office and Brie came up. She's like, what are you laughing at? I'm like, biz is oh, oh, control. So I started doing, uh, instead of doing the birdie juice because you guys know, I've been sober almost 20 months now. I decided that every time we get a birdie, I'm taking five milligrams of an edible, uh, California sober,

California sober. And if three on three squambles, there should be birdies. I mean, you got to have

Uh, what, uh, what a, what a fun fun round with those guys. Uh, it was great riding in the cart with Ernie Clement. And I, I was hearing it from these guys because I was playing Tommy sticks

too hard. I was kind of like, you and Bob does the first time we played. Yeah. But the reason I brought

up opening day is the Boston Red Sox decided to fucking drop the craziest, craziest food of all time. Oh, dude. I, it might, it, it, it makes me want to root against them. I hope they don't win one game. I hope they have a worse home record than the New York Rangers this year. They end up dropping a lobster. Poutine. Lobster at a ball diamond on the call time. And there's going to be in the middle of the summertime in the heat just when sitting next to somebody, wolfing down a fucking lobster

rangoon. Poutine like the bathroom line is going to be the bathroom line is going to be down

“down the hall. That's what I was thinking. It's because we're tripping and them can't stop”

puking in their living room. I saw a tweet of pute all over each other. I saw puking a bed in some guys like me after I have a lobs of poutine at the Red Sox game. And then eight Sam Adams summers right after it waking up covered in puking again, which biz they call, they call a Fenway beer, the heroin beer like you have two of them. You are absolutely. Well, yeah, they haven't clean the pipes out since the building. Exactly. Mix that with a lobster poutine. If they, if this doesn't

get canceled by game four, I'm done. I saw people like rate. I saw a lot of tweets with people like can't wait to have this. And I was like, you gotta go to prison if you want to. Like that thing. And I immediately thought of the game we went with the family last year against the blue jazers. It was 103 degrees. And we were in this sun. And I was like, if somebody sat next to me with that lobs of poutine, I might suck them in the temple and call. That's funny. Hey, hey, hey, he had

the lobs of poutine cops like, oh, oh, no, where's, but have a great day. And then they arrest the guys. They would be like an old potatoes. 49ers game just tilts all over the concrete. Yeah. If I saw somebody with that. Um, mind you, I'm the type of guy where if I, if I was dating a girl, we went to a ball diamond. And she got the, the chips in, in, uh, and not the nachos and cheese.

“We're leaving. We're done. Lock number blocked. My fucking idea. I think that she should leave you for”

calling it a ball diamond. Yeah, true. Because I'm, I don't think if you're like, hey, I got, I got tickets to the, uh, diamond backs game. Let's go to a ball diamond. Like, she's got to be like, all right, whatever you just called that. I'm not going out with you anymore. Uh, would you rather eat three bites of a lobster poutine or our start having a call it, uh, ball diamond? I don't think I'd eat

either lobster poutine from a Michelin star restaurant. Never mind, Fenway, the Fenway ball diamond.

You know who would eat it? My fucking Grinnell. He was excited. I would. I'm not knocking it till I try it. I definitely, I love poutine. I love lobster. I love going to Red Sox games. Sox games usually cold till the end of May. I'm sitting there March little cold. I would, I would, I try it. I'm what lobsters one of those things where it used it's isn't it considered like the seat are the Cockroaches those cockroach. Oh, it's called the cockroach of the seat. That's right. Yeah, you know

“Even to prisoners in Maine and that's how it got that's how it got like big. They fed it to prisoners and then they were like this is on”

Balloon. I love a good lobster a warm lobster with hot butter warm butter hot lobster. Whatever Paul Diamond. I Like lobster. I love this big with watching a ball diamond in Poutine. This could have been on the pod I'm saying lobster or lobster roll with the yes with the grill blood. Oh butter. Yeah, from legal I'm not talking about Poutine watching Otonny fucking smash one out of the ball dime Okay, that's nice actually

This has a surprise guest for you today. Why don't you ask him if he'll eat some Poutine lobster, Poutine. Why don't we bring him in right now? Yeah, boys. I think this is a must and we need some Answers from people inside the organization, so why don't we bring on Darren McCarty to answer What the fuck is going on with the Detroit red wings? You think that that go tea would get them going that looks like a loss Biz I mean I just cuz you think that you're behind all a buffalo success now and stuff like this

I saw you last night With your new tag team partner edge, so I mean like the Toronto lore is just there. I will agree It's not the best time for the Detroit red wings, but again boys. You guys have been here

It was always gonna be this way in the Eastern conference this team was always gonna be one of these teams

You know things have to go right for this team and

Same things gone wrong the last three years not making excuses, but top guys being out But again You're still in it. Why is everybody like why is everybody quitting you can buy pretty much your own destiny you're up against it But again a lot of times and and I'll say this even more because it's March 26

“That the only way out is through some time is boys, so you know what don't like what I've seen the last week from the from the red wings”

We need some finish, but I mean they are what they are But do I believe they can make the playoffs? They can beat Buffalo tomorrow night or Friday or wherever they're playing and and and it's a tough schedule Yes, I do believe it one because the difference this year John Gibson

That's you know he's doing everything he's been brought here to do, but you know it's this time We're you know the boys have to become the man and different guys have to do it, so yeah, we don't like our spot But I'm holding up this tweet right now and and you need to talk to red wings fans not any of us for doubt in this And I said I said I said I said talk to me They're all out right all all the like again talk to them

Whatever what are we talking about like everybody's a band and shit. It does show. I don't have to ask them where the confidence levels that and it's zero right now So we need it you are and to talk to the fan base to let them know this one ain't over and as you said

“Sometimes the only way out is true. Yeah, I mean I remember back again 29 years ago”

Right Colorado held over us the Lemue incident had gone on the year before we hadn't beaten them They beat us out. We set the league record 62 wins and they went on to win the cup You know, I mean this is a game this is a game about About falling down and then getting back up and keep going keep going right I was lucky From the regime that I played with that

We were always figured in like we were never fighting for a spot

So like I don't know what that's like it's it's different and it's different here because the The water's been dry for 10 years and everybody won these expectations, but I mean my opinion is is either You're in or you're out. I mean you're in or you're in the way So I mean if you if you're gone get out get safe get in the safe place Tigers are starting to night, you know

“Pistons are in the playoffs, but if you want to get through this because when are the best lessons in a hockey”

taught in moments like these and you're either gonna rise or for something's gonna be told and Darren As we sit here and talk to you 29 years ago to the day Was the fight night at the job and maybe as the games changed this doesn't matter But maybe they come out and somebody swing look at that shirt I need one of them you're terrible. It's good. Do I get that?

Questionable t is dot com t e e z that's clon them you dot a turdling there Yeah, that is unbelievable with the Teenage group ninja turtle's logo. See with amazing that's why you're always on the

Always on it by then the answer is good nice to see you too. Sorry business. He ain't always taking the spa like

I'm the one who fucking called to get you on. I appreciate that actually at you know what I gotta give Grinnell credit though his Tax came through before your IG You know like that's we're getting closer biz you need there's a little anima city here buddy Yeah, I love it play off spot with one another Toronto's already fucking wave the white flag

I'm sure on Buffalo's bandwagon. Yeah, you're all like you died of him. No, we didn't know We all should be on Buffalo's bandwagon because of about time and look at that team Anizing moments. I think I heard it interview with your eyes was dolly and send the boys started drinking beers at hang it out and figured out They liked each other and then they get into that how a little of a game of the year Against Tampa Bay with the you know where there was with a grab that's what March 26 going back to you

Went about 29 years ago It was the gravitation yes the revenge and all that stuff was being called around about what it did to the dressing room And what it does to the boys you know and I'm saying when the guy next You is more important you than you are to yourself and maybe that's the thing that we're missing here in Detroit It doesn't feel that way like it does when Tampa Bay's got to say hey boys. Let's just stick it at a fourth year

Right and and they lean on each other with different guys, but it's moving it in and out so

But now it's time

To change the narrative. Yeah, so you know it maybe it'll be the biggest blessing in disguise

Because that's usually what happens in these instances and you know what biz to that point. Yes. I can't wait Till the least in the wings are battling over the top of the easter conference and we got this conversation We'll mark it today, but when we have this conversation because it's going for the conference finals Oh, that's when it's going to be the best grab you right by that go tea and give it a hug. Hey, you got your ass turtle by a wrestler last night Bro like what do you talk at about

Gosh darn it dude like look like a band be on the set You don't want you don't have a wrestling that enough to worry about. Hey, we should have a wrestling match

“You should be playing the wrestling school bro. When you come to Detroit”

I'm moving it down into where the Crocs is. I got the wrestling

Oh shelly has my trainer train Miguel. Yeah, dude. I got a wrestling show grind time wrestling academy at the Centerline high school tomorrow night Bobby in there throw on the stunner. I'll stun up. It's it's acting out a stunner. It's called a DMACC stoner I punch you in the gut and rip your head off Blows you if you want biz nasty. Don't you worry you got a receipt coming baby. Yes

Look at that. This is for a moment. Yeah, because I want you in my corner. Hell yeah. I want you to I'll be like came in. I want I want a combination and Jimmy heart Hey, man and Bobby the brain. That's what it is because you are the brains of this operation. I got you I got I got I got my own move. I got the bomb rip right smash a fucking glass bomb over your head and

“Then I blow weed smoking your face and they give you a suplex. Hey, he's got his own weed”

I got my own canvas brand. You don't think like I got that neutralized. That's not even gonna affect That's like spinach to him if it's hop by that's the reversal that's exactly the reverse But DMACC you talked about a galvanizing group and then barking coming back I thought he looked great last game like that's got to be a lot You know, that's huge in the lock room to have him come back especially for these last 10-11 games

Yeah 100% it is and you know the other night like you do you can't afford not to start on time Right at this point of the year so you know whether you're looking to get the emotions because he's back in the line up that you know To me shows a little bit uh, you know and maturity on that, but they need a They need him and copy him back and they just need the puck to go in the net You know like that that's one of the things too. It seems like the last 15 games of the regular season is as playoff hockey

And what you're seeing is look at the teams that are getting those playoff bounces Right because you all know like playoff hockey. It's stay in healthy getting the goalie You know stand on his head and getting that bounce so Hopefully the red wings can turn the script. There's enough games left to be able to do it I heard that Larka wasn't even injured. He was just kind of like a out of stance still holding out because they didn't do enough of the deadline again

Is that true? He's heard it and telling you this guy this dude that this is like game of thrones. You know that you can Talk to me all you want at that, but you know that the big boss up there and the one nine He hears all that you say so he knows who's instigating all this other stop, but I'll just be saying You know just watch it. Oh, is that what you think happened when Larka went down and almost absolutely blew out is me like

Oh, I'm just joking about Larka's post postseason comments. I know what you were doing All right, I know what we all want to do in I don't like what he's doing either. Every other day But Mars 26 I could probably allow it let it slide but not my apologies You know as hey have that same energy next time you talked to Isaac Absolutely don't win that left ball comes out of your mouth. Make sure you feel like you take a bath game and wipe up

This is unbelievable

“I think this is ten times better than I could ever expect it when I DM'd you to come on the pond”

I thought we were gonna be wrestling partners the edible boys. No, I never said whatever whatever you need

I'm just coming out with me real soon, and I'm gonna send it to you boys because I just finished my CBD topical Right, it's straight CBD for the for the pain and stuff like this and all different stuff I'm gonna make sure that I send one out to all you guys because God dang it biz I've seen that golf swing and it is horrible rub something on that bud and and you know what I'm still I'm still in I'm actually going to Florida on Saturday for a week. Oh, you're getting ready for the bag or against us

100% bro. Do you think you think Steady would play with you against us or can I just ruin our chances?

You ruined your chance. You never had a chance. I'm saying there's probably a chance. Yeah, because you know what oh my God

I'll tell you this

“Yeah, it's in wet isomen abusing biz on the golf course verbally”

You've never seen any that you'll never see anything in your life like it and plus Anything that takes the stress away from me We're all for it. We would send him a PJ just to see that all fucking I'd pay for it So well, let's get through a let's get through this playoff run first and we have a better shot Did you die your go-ty red to like try to get the boys going oh and top two oh

Yeah, I got drapes. I got the hot going and it's getting it's it's time for the recolored moral

Stuff like this did I do it to get the boys go. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's exactly why I did it

No, I've had it. I've had it. I've had it like this for a couple of years now. Well, they got listen three in the next five games Or against they got two against the flyers and one against the Rangers Buffalo tonight That feels like just an enormous one Buffalo is coming off a loss to so let's see Let me see are they at home for that one or they on the road And on the road so they go on on the road to Buffalo that would be something where it's like boys

This could change everything we got Darren McCarty. It looks beautiful there by the way Today just nice great day to try it. Well, we got Darren redion is here. We got him just ripping his bang for us Let's go get a w against the sabers. Well, that's every day. That's every day for the boys or whatever like this But but to the point right galvanizing the locker room no no better time than now and what it would do You know in the standings and stuff like that so it's it has the vibe of one of these games that

Not supposed to go their way, but just might I got to show you one last thing here You remember that photo All right, you and I right when was that that was when you want to stop into this fucking a long way. Yeah, and the locked room in a week Yeah, how is all right Everything actual the highest in that picture. Should we have let's have our rape pop on to say hi to Darren

What's up, Darren? How you doing pal? All right, how you been, brother? Well, don't go a pal here. Hello bumpy bumpy spot for a bit But there's a much better and yeah, man. I can't believe that was almost 18 years ago when I crashed your party And I I didn't get kicked out until you have your security guy toss me not once but twice and had to get

Shelly off his ass on make sure he has back up pretty from the other second time. That's crazy. It was that long ago

“But I do remember that night. That was a great night. Yeah, I just remember you said there you you you know”

It was your fourth cup and you had kind of had an up and down, you know put up and down the mind's here I just remember just you were just sitting there look kind of taking it all in because you know I knew you had a sort of an up and down year like with you know, I don't know if the ice that year And I just remember just you kind of soak it all in and I went over and you know said congratulations in it's hilarious I got a bro one's hat and the attacker shirt on I still get the hangover other hours somehow

So I love it, bro, and and you to that point of what you just said The only way out through sometimes Absolutely parents and they all means whatever so fucking right. But to see it good to see if I can't wait to get get the next picture Yeah, wait to try that out since the mirror too Absolutely, I wonder if this redie job could be like the spark that the team needs

I feel like maybe it's fading is kind of like the team. It's like a it's like a cryptic message Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he's he's he's he's looking at it You know, they have a hard enough time sometimes when I'm in the building to perform so I have to leave the building so that they perform well, but you could be honest up then, you know what I'm gonna make a call when we're done See if I can speed that up and get it done by tonight fucking right just cuz this is it just cuz biz, you know every

Every what 133rd thing out of his mouth might make sense and by the way I'm crushing that lobster puty and I don't care if it's not surprised that I get it. It's right I get it's where it's to come on granted. Yeah, man. I love to see you that and then I'm the guy I'm the guy who trips you for for eat it. I get suckered knockouts, so it's a lobster puty knockout special at Fenway Park That was great. DMACC. I had to tell you I didn't have your number this summer. I was in Baltimore and ran into these guys

From Detroit that arena bands. I said, oh, I'm buddies with uh Darren McCarty who's in the grinders. They were like are you Shit me they went nuts. They were loving it. They said they knew you they go. I don't know if they opened They've opened up for you stop, but just wanted to tell you that. I love it dude. I love it. Yeah grinders still Still out still out doing some stuff in the summertime, so

“So just another good way to get people together. I have another way to get the boys going you should you should combat the lobster puty and come up with octopus puty”

That sounds gross bro I don't want to get it though. What would you do for you if you could pick up Darren McCarty Poutine?

Great you're going for the Greek, you know you like those slime little bloggers because it's like

It can remind you pick your nose and eat so like I mean that's it makes sense for you by Kalimari Poutine IBM for what would be your pick if they said hey Darren we're doing a rebrand for the con course We need you to think of a food for the fans to get the fans going what would you pick that's it this that's such a great question But it's an edible chocolate guitar I could see you yourself yeah, let's go that by chocolate. You're going to have one of those hockey puck styles

Yeah, and you just crushed you up and it's got a gooey center and that's you know Halfway through the gate. It's a great game no matter what right great game no matter what yeah, but do buy chocolate DMACC you're a legend buddy. Go and join us on man real we got to get you on more often You know I all you got to reach out all right whenever you need anything whatever you need

Smart us trip or biz like me, but it doesn't about dude past the old until last night, bro

Yeah, everybody owns me. I know dude Everybody owns me It's the last thing Can you can you tell us the why I apologize for that joke over there please? Please tell them I'm really sorry Don't do it. You know what you know what Paul?

Sometimes there are consequences your actions just like March 26, 1997

“Perfect way perfect way to end it up and and finally I think for Detroit fans DMACC saying”

Don't quit stick with this team that'll one point out. It's not like their five points out You've been in here all you hear you didn't know it was ever come down to it's Gary bet been a hockey There's got to be five teams fight for two spots with a weak laugh You knew you got to be be that team right no matter what you can save this anchor put it up Write it down put it this top it's safer for or if it doesn't work out

Right, but what are you gonna do that to yourself now when it has to be played out? I don't understand that so to the 700 replies from red wings fans when I sent out that tweet Don't hit the panic button support your team and go through this is what they need it's coming for new guys You're on a mac that you're the heel bro like UK doesn't mean it's just for you and DMACC how many cups Just for so he knows what he's talking about red wings fans respect the man

What he's doing like you guys daughter and I think I know that because you're on Netflix

So keep it for the boys always be this end of my camp with

To play it out play the bag

“I think he back's phone might have smoked mid interview because all of a sudden, you know, we weren't getting his his excellent”

Kind of volume that we heard at the beginning, but that guy if I'm if I'm taught McClellan Saying this is who's leading the reading the line. I think he's on a hard starting left wing next game He's starting on the win. They should definitely have him and not on the road obviously because they're going to Buffalo But that next game in all against filly if he's not right like ring in the siren or whatever they do Do a little lineup car. He should be doing the whole car wash

But I can't pay him enough for hopping on and all my God. I would love to do we should do like a celebrity wrestling match Yeah, that would be electric, but I didn't know he has his own wrestling school So you'd be fucking in one on that one. Yeah, yeah 26 year anniversary Or 29 year 29 that shirt was unbelievable in the nine years buddy 29 years today as we record

We're both five hours out from puck drop 29 years ago. How did you know that with

“G wrote it in the chat. Okay, I think he might have said it did he said a G said it but all of a sudden”

The entire franchise changed forever They couldn't win swept in 95 loose to the abs 96 and boom They beat the shit out of them and then they go on to win back to back and then two more and DMACC was there for all of them In the east I realistically think that that Bones could win the jack out of people think I'm crazy because he didn't coach most of the year. I sent a stat to the

I think it was Portsline From Columbus. Yeah, sent it out about the amount of five on five goals they've allowed since bones took over Four and it's it's 40 and I believe 26 games maybe a little bit more just an astronomical low number And just a complete overhaul of how they were you know defending and protecting the front of their net so Bravo and

Once again all you buffalo fans howling the online as Darren McCarty said one of the one of every one hundred three things I said that comes out on my mouth isn't somewhat intelligent. I'm sorry I didn't put Lindy on my top three picks for the jack Adams. I thought my picks were good I'm sorry. I didn't pick the the draft King's top What is he's got the best odds the favorite right now? So my my apology. Who do you guys got for jack atoms right now? I'd have to go

Even though he has him in playing my boy hazy

If San Jose gets in you got to have worse off San Jose not getting in I might have just got him in

“But I don't I think that they they've they've they've it's run. It's course there this season unfortunately”

I think that Q's got to be up there. I mean. Yeah, they look awesome and I have fun team to watch granted Worst Division to ever play hockey the Pacific Division 25 26 season mousse Q rough poop That's gonna someone's getting holes in that last pick and then you're not even you're not even bringing up, you know What I think that has happened and called a rattle right like it's just kind of a crazy year for that award

But I think bones Shit as like I just you can't give it to him, but it's like if he got it I wouldn't care at all. I would not be somebody complaining. Well, he's got the highest winning percentage of all of them I got to vote for the awards one year and then my my rights were taken away when I voted Sid for the sulky trophy

I think that pissed off whoever's on the committee enough to to never ask asked me to vote again

I get that but Sid was great that year and he was great defensively

“But what I think bones is so beloved by his peers and the players and other coaches that no coach would be upset if he won”

Agreed fans would lose their mind. Yeah, I kind of respect the fans who lose their mind because they're just sticking up for their guy The way that Saber's mafia is just gunning for biz right now and not having a Lindy Lindy rough in his talk. I fucking got them going I fucking let Rob race spank me in the ass at center race that sparked his whole winnings through all very true Before we get to macavoy in a couple minutes here

James Higgins ends up leaving BC, but it's not to sign an NHL contract kind of how we talked about what I did that year You sign a PTO or an ATO whatever it is and he goes to Providence He'll then have to sign if they decide to call him up and macavoy did this and I think there was injuries that ended up having him go up to Boston and playing the playoffs I don't know what your guys opinion don't it is it seems like Based on his interview

I respect the hell out of him nothing's given to me I got to go earn everything. I want to prove that that I'm ready for the NHL. I got to play well down here And we interviewed him last summer. I believe or maybe it was before his draft and Break-head you could tell like somebody who those quotes don't really surprise me You know based on the fact that he knows what it takes that he doesn't want to be handed anything

But I still was surprised. It feels like the Bruins kind of won that one to get him to turn pro and not have to burn a year if they don't want to So I don't know what you either want to you guys think on that or do you kind of just get it? I actually don't get it I mean I get it as a player like for him I get it wanting to go and turn pro whatever, but I think his agent got fleeced and I don't know who his agent is I looked him up doesn't have a ton of guys that are you know well known or whatever

But like that's one of those things where you have a guy woezy seventh overall Like drafted by the team where he's playing in that city right now and college like the it there has to be There has to be something that was guaranteed to him that because that that seemed like a move that would happen 20 years ago Like nowadays you see guys drafted in the fourth round fifth round come out and play games I get it there in a in a battle for the playoffs

Want to get in and take care of what's going on, but I don't know at the end of the day like the players are have the Have the upper hand right now and I don't think you got the upper hand by not getting some games this year

I'm I'm the first of all. I love that you have like that opinion because it it's it's different than mine

And I just I'm assuming that they're saying hey the option of you coming in and playing games in NHL given our situation this year is not on the table

“On the his college season is over if you want to play high competitive hockey with”

Providence and prove that you can do it against men and stronger competition that is not only gonna set you up from an Organizational perspective where I feel like like boss and fans are probably like loving this kid right now Oh, he's on those quotes, right? So he's already in their good graces and and they're they're letting their chops to see what he can do With Providence and who knows man a guy or two goes down and maybe he's the guy who eventually ends up getting called up right now

At this point in time he assigned an 80 oh and that's just for the Providence Bruins How does that affect moving forward if let's say next year they're like hey You know more than likely you're not gonna start in the NHL could he go back to college? I've read I've read a tweet about this G-hop on if you know better I think it's near impossible. Yeah, I Mike McMahon from college news kind of debunk that went back check the rule book

It would be virtually impossible. He would essentially have to sell fun his time Improvenants, right? Yes, yes all expenditures would have to be paid by Higgins or his family to the agent point of view key that you had

Let's go back to school. They're not gonna guarantee you games. They're not gonna burn the year and maybe Higgins is like I want to play pro

I want to prove it and then it's out of the agent's hands because you know in the end he works for him and it's like all right You want to do this like I get it. I'm kind of we were kind of hoping to burn a year and get you games But they're not they're saying that's not possible and you want to do this. Let's go to it I actually wouldn't mind asking Charlie about it because he went through the same thing where He was dominant at BU for two years. He was a young freshman just like Higgins both among long Island to a wonder if their buddies or know each other at all

“And he had I believe Michael boy gave him a call that like right when he turned pro. I'm pretty sure Charlie gave him a call”

Just okay, welcome to the team So I do listen when you talk about nowadays how these kids really run the show and young guys

Are giving all this money after not doing that much and it's just completely changed from when we played

This is a little old school way of thinking of I'm gonna go down there and this their teams completely loaded and hopefully We go on a run and I light it up and I prove to them that I'm I'm in the lineup and maybe in pencil But I'm in that lineup next year when they're looking at it over the summer up and Boston I think the variable of them Being able to compete for a call their cup like I talk about how Adrian campaign came over We probably with like what five ten games regular season maybe remaining don't even know if he ended up hopping an line up for any regular

Season games with a Manchester and then ended up having I think you know ten goals and playoffs and really helping us when a call their cup So just gaining that experience playing with other really good players Probably factored in where if this is a a bottom five team is he going to Providence to play the end of the regular season I probably not that's not going to fit his interest so playing high level hockey in the age El is going to be very beneficial in gaining experience in in a short amount of time

Oh don't don't get me wrong. I tip my cap to the way that he's handling it and he wants to go and play and Maybe it has something to do with kids in college now. We're getting paid more. He doesn't have to chase that NHL money Like I may obviously, it's not NHL money in college, but I definitely tip my cap to him wanting in wanting to prove Himself and go down there and get on the good gracious of the fans and the organization I was just thinking more of like Jesus Christ if I'm the player

“I'd be like wow look at all these other guys who would just get in games just to fucking get games and that is where you have to”

And I remember being told this young and I wish I'd listen to the advice like Comparing yourself to others in any walk-a life is just the worst possible thing you can do and it's Just like it's like staying your lane do what you need to do to be successful, but comparing yourself to others Can really what is it again, please? The comparison is the thief of joy. What of with that? Let's bring it Charlie Macbook is your own fire

No, I stole that call from Jeff, but it's up Charlie. I'm smart today. Well, we are just heard that one Charlie That's not it. Look at that day. Hey, what's up Hey, we want to start congratulations, dude. Incredible. We haven't talked to you since it's

It was something I'll never forget. Of course. You'll never forget you played an enormous role

So we just wanted to get that out of the way quick. Yeah, thank you was it was unbelievable So can't believe it really wouldn't experience why I want to start cuz we were just talking with James Higgins and you went through this You left be you at that time Were you looking to get right into the line up and then kind of told know it's gonna be down to the minors and you got to sign the H-o the same way he did like take us through your experience leaving school the way Higgins did after sophomore year

Yeah, so this all came back up again obviously because it was like a similar situation and

“That back what like what I was thinking cuz I was trying to remember what was the same what was different and I think now the thing that's so different”

Just this kind of set this stage is like the leverage that I feel like some of these guys have Or like what they kind of maybe they think they have but like I mean He's some of these like I guess the cutter go to a situation is one thing right like maybe where you didn't get We wanted so then you know you went somewhere else and I don't know enough about that to say who was right or wrong or anything But you see a lot more guys leaving and just getting games like right away now

So that becomes the new comparable where like you're like, okay, well A B and C just sign and left and I feel like that's different from when I signed Cuz the one that they pointed to right away was Zach Werencky Z went to Michigan and left the year before So he did two years in school left ATO with like Lake Eury I think and

Play off the age all the whole time wins the call their cup and then next year contributor came right in and was great So it was like hey, we've seen this model like this work great for him

Get your touches and I think it was really similar to this to where I think Boston was fighting for the playoffs So kind of probably looked a little bit a little bit similar in that way at least

I was just gonna say it from just since Olympic break. You've been on fire. You've been playing amazing

But just offensively I've known something known to something different from you It seems like you like you've obviously been known as an unreal two-way player

“But this year your offense to me has been the best it's been in your career like what do you contribute to that?”

Especially since the Olympics. Yeah, I ain't just trying to be a part of it You know, I think like our system too like we play pretty fast So I think transition wise like it helps to be kind of like that fourth man and get involved like we're trying to turn you over And we're trying to get going quick Like in the league so fast like we got some fast guys on our team. So I think that helps us

Trying to beat guys up the ice and then I think the other thing is just you know our power play has been been great all year We brought spotter in and and he just you know, he's done it at every stop He's that just been an unreal power play coach and just a great coach in general So you know, he came in right away and just some of his like his verbiage some of the stuff that we were doing on the ice and and you know Working on like you know, you could credit a lot of the success

We had because we turned over pretty good. I want to say we went from like bottom five or ten last year and here There wasn't very good and then you know this year we've been in the top ten all year top five at times

“So it's I think that you know obviously you're gonna rack up some some cookies on the power play, but”

I think both ways were playing, you know both both ways five and five and five and four has just been good and been fun to contribute Charlie, mine's pretty easy. It's like how are you feeling what like what a wild year for you With dealing with adversity? I mean you probably got the fucking tooth fairy living in your house at this point Billeting but like just like from losing all that weight after breaking your jaw how nasty that shot was And then even more recently you took another one where you lost some bottom teeth

So how have you just been dealing with like the injuries and and then putting together? I mean gold medal and then now this run you've been on since the Olympics Man, I can't believe that it's all been like one year like everything the top and Like it's insane and you guys know at every year you get to this point of the year you're like home with God

Like September training camp felt like it was two years ago like it always flies by

But yeah, like this year was tough man that that one in November like I started out the year great We were surprised in some people and it was like, you know We were trying to get some traction going and then that happened and that just was like so deflating It sucked like at the time like I always show like Some people saw a new up like our little guy was in the hospital at the time

We'd been there for like three weeks and like I literally Missed the game in Toronto Guys came home. I played and this was a one off game Saturday night at Bell Center I was like talk to the wife on my hand. I'm gonna go. He's okay. Like I'm just gonna go and I'll be there and back Like right in and out and broke the jaw

Like now I'm in the hospital. She was in the hospital like yeah, it was it was crazy And now when now when took a lot like you know how to bolt of us like and then I had my family come up to help You know her family came in like silly took a step away to like to come help so we had so much you know support and During that time which was huge and then you know that allowed us you know me personally to just get

“Get sort of right back into it and I think I missed like three weeks and then”

You know we were off and running again did losing some weight like me like help you with like be a little faster I mean that might be a little more than I thought I'd be like Freaking leanhuts and dropping 30 pounds and now I'm dance fell over the place But uh no honestly I felt terrible my energy was so bad because I didn't have like You lose all that weight and you're not able to like fuel yourself

So I was just dying and I'd get out there for practice. I was getting my myself when I was first coming back and like five minutes and I'd be like

Callin over the doc. I was I was dead So and it was tough because like food blended to me was just not gonna happen. It was all So I couldn't do it man I could do it man. Yeah, yeah, I'm like yeah, you're like no chance man I wasn't gonna do it so it was like honestly. It was a lot of soup a lot of ice cream like just soft stuff And then it all came back once I started eating again like right on Christmas time

Like everything was going down normal again like you put a right back on I put it must have been hard to chew a steak though even like first biting back in the food all And there sucks because like I love like a nice like dinner night for a game going to get a steak like that's like go to and I

Really easy to get down so when I started getting back into solid so's where I was on more fish than anything But man one take up back on the steak. It was good good. So the one in Montreal buddy It was like it was like AI like I was like what it was legit spit and check with Yeah, I know but like when it's a buddy that it happened so it's a little different than someone you don't know because I was watching it And I was actually like holy fuck like it looks so bad like it that you could be out for the year

It sounds crazy but like you never know but when that when that happened

Did you have it wired shut was it wired shut or no? No, I think they said that like in order to be a candidate for that

“You have to have like a like a like a perfect bite and I have an over bite”

So I couldn't do it. He said but I would have if if I didn't if I had that I think that was something they would have done But instead I just got the this it was a plate that went across the break because it just broke perfect like in half It was like front to back it was like off-center in the pictures like this was bulged out This was on yeah, it was wild So they put it back together and then it was three screws on this side three on this side and you can still kind of feel weird and it's like in the jaw

But and then I just got my my flipper now so it was like Christmas daily other day

And I got all my my teeth back to make matters worse say boys when he's in the hospital

Array showed up with paperwork. He's like what's this the season the cyst fucking worse worse week ever But then you had you had the other one recently where I don't think I've ever seen a player and rightfully so after a game Be more disgusted at like losing it to you you were just like I'm really sick Attired this new there was more time in the dentist chair. Yeah, I was so defeated man. Oh

You like like the the boys tried to give me like the belt for like like the player the game And I was just like I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I just had the worst like Fuck it's man. I was I couldn't believe what happened again

“In between the set I think I got hit like eight minutes left and I made it back in just in time for like the eight on the clock when coach comes in”

So I was in the chair like 20 minutes. He's numbing me up I hate the needles and the gums like it hurts and he stitched the at the stitch like a flap on my lip So that was that was all that and I'm like oh man. You have that feeling like I know I got to come back I know the boys need me, but you're sitting in that chair and you're like fuck I just want it I'm fucking I want to go home man like this. I was so defy. I just bring me the bubble again put the bubble back

I was gonna say the bubbles the worst part dude Dusty or trainer came up to me while I was in the dentist chair He's fixing me up that LA game and he goes hey Do you want to put the bubble back on and I just told him to fuck off? I'm like I'm done with that thing then Don't show me that bubble again Don't or beat it

It's retired. It's in the rafters now and then at the Olympics you started with the bubble It came off. I was so happy for him. I'm like oh that's so nice and then Nelson had to put it on And then Nelly literally the day I took it off Nelly put it on he had like a facial fracture here. Do the boys were killing me when I got over there Because I had just gotten hit it was that that Florida game rate before

So like right before I left for for Olympics like my job blew up again like same swelling I had like when I broke it So boys as soon as I got a I got over the early for opening cameras the pictures are hilarious It's like out to here and then the boys started calling me quagmire When we were when they all showed up and set in pictures of that

It was pretty funny though. It's been an incredible year a few guys based on

Not your guys opinion, but maybe the fans and and us idiots in like the expectations and then Tuesday and an enormous home game leaves her struggling

“And I think you would admit probably one of the worst games of the season for your team”

I was watching like Jesus. They just have nothing in the tank and they're going a buffalo and then Wednesday night incredible effort You're up. I felt bad for Mason low ride makes some mistake then makes takes the penalty. They're up three two But you come back and win that game. There had to be a lot of resolve in the room going into the third Like saying like we can't drop two in a row in this race right now. No. I ain't like Man that that Tuesday game was so tough

Like you guys all been in that spot. You know how it is as a player like You know you have the look ahead game like it's a real thing they talk about it But like we knew it so we talked about it openly like boys we have to win this game These are the ones you're gonna look back on like you know Tuesday against that that leaf team that like you know They're they're out of it like they're just want to play spoiler. We can't look these are the games you have to win

It was so bad. We just didn't play like to our identity in any way

So it was just tough and then we woke up and uh and we were like we should get right on the plane after go buffalo Stormy yesterday morning was like I'm not even gonna show you guys anything from it Not one clip from it like it was that bad and like

“Been around before like you know when it's that bad. Honestly. You don't even need to see it. We knew so”

It was just like Completely flipped it like he sets him really good things the morning spotter sets him good things like we had a chance amongst the guys to To kind of talk in front of the group like you know just how big this was and and coming down the stretch like every game Now there are no more of those we play against all the best teams in the league. They're us the way it's like We got many on Saturday, then Columbus and

Dallas, I believe yeah, yeah, yeah, so and so kind of seven of which on the road as well

I believe that included last night's game and in Buffalo, but that's yeah, it's a tough slate to form six it is Yeah, but we just talked about before the game. It was just like man. It's gonna be good fucking story boys like Lane egg last night now. We go in to play the best team in the league in a fucking must-win game like let's do it and You know, obviously like it wasn't food in any way. We like to make things hard on ourselves sometimes But like you see that one during your two points. It was just huge. We were we were pumped after

Yeah, kind of leads me into the next question. We have we were talking about like coach of the year candidates and like this is one of those years Where it feels like you'd nominate like eight to ten guys Because of jobs they'd done and they could just you talk about stir like doing that like Seems like he just hit and all the right buttons from the message into training camp a guy who had a long career that was well

“Spectate and just like he's himself. There's no bullshit. There's no handing it up. He's just himself and like what has he done to this group?”

And was it what is he instilled in order to like kind of get you guys firing the way you have and essentially over achievement? Yeah, I mean he kind of laid a foundation right rate of training camp like he said And think the messaging has been great. I think you know just the the team For sure from last year this year is just is the closer knit team like there's some more personality in the group So obviously that that has helped us

You know on the ice, but with stormy he's just been great like it is strategy that he brought in of like like I said wanting the play fast play behind teams like You know it calls it the long game like You know, we're we're very quick to just transition. We want to get pucks out like it's not like Carolina where we want to flip pucks But like we want to get in races. We want to make it hard and kind of backing off You know when you see a lot of teams that are playing like that now like it's not fun to play against

You know on Buffalo in their away last night like they just go they go those are the games that are tough So we want it to do it stir me and implement it that and then in the neutral zone We kind of you know have a little clogged that we call it the likes the piss teams off But he just had things that he believed in that he brought in and he had conviction in and like

“I think early on when you never played it and like we weren't having the best results. It's kind of hard”

And then we kind of flipped it we understood what he wanted to do is these own structure all that and then he could put it in front of you on tape So like then the video sessions are like look guys I told you just do this it works so then You can see it and then we all believe it then we all just bought in and like I think that has a lot to do with the success We've had this here like obviously he's he's great great leader men and then his strategy

So he's just been awesome for us one quick follow up you mentioned the personalities and being a closer-knit group I know is he was there last year, but he is just on all the time Churping like even last night you guys against Buffalo it was Boxing gloves our vets and

goal where pasta kind of got poke check and our vets had just poked it in and he's coming into the pile

Churping guys about having boxing gloves on so he's just never not chirping including the other team

So what's it like playing with big Z and is he probably one of the bigger personalities and the lead that you've seen? Well man, he's like oh he is he's one of a kind he really is like he's like I was ready to kill him last night I came in after the game and I was asking for like in ice bag because I had like a burst out when I fell And as soon as I called him and I'm like I see it kind of got this he goes when like he hits me with one of those I was like you fucking oh my god

I was so mad at him, but he is he's always on like that. I think in a way like Last year I had to get used to him like I didn't really know you know He's coming from a different team. I don't know and hot come and he came in hot every thing Yeah, in a opinion on everything and something to say about this. I'm gonna say to you like Churps all that and I think I you know not knowing like who he was I started to understand them more

Obviously spent so much time last year hurt that I wasn't even really around the group So a little bit this summer and then into this year like man I love Z like he's awesome

This he's a leader

You know and we kind of asked them to take on a little bit more of that role and he and he did it in a in a big way and then

Like he's light he likes to chirp guys and stuff like that so I mean you know those guys in the room like they're great to have Keep things light keep things in perspective So yeah, he's been a huge a huge asset for us. I don't hurt he's pretty ruthless like during TV time I was the way that he's chirps the other team were like no one to the PA one allow mics on the players But yeah, I'll give you one how ruthless this guy is so I don't know where he he came from a different

“He had a couple spots a couple stops along the way before you got to Boston, but like we do our secret Santa”

so Our secret Santa is like you know we like to have fun like we do the gag gifts and goof and you know You're gonna find somebody staying and give it to him a little bit But we have a $50 minimum so we're gonna talk shit about you and then we're gonna give you a nice bottle of chemists everybody leaves happy Z

Just completely breeze the $50 minimum. This was last year, too So he had me and he gives me a sheet of paper so it just said 73 on it and I and I opened like maybe it's a gift car or something like I opened this thing up It was like a chat GPT like written Thing that he just typed in his things and it wrote it all out formally

Basically to say in like you have the worst hair I've ever seen like here's a free voucher to go over to turkey Get your hair fixed up like this summer. Yeah, I had all this stuff I knew it was funny the boys were laughing. I was laughing like it was good And then it just was getting like it was just more personal more personal at the end. I'm like okay We're okay. Where's my bottle? Why now? Like I'm a little sad right? No bottle wine nothing

He left me there empty hand. It just gotless gotless

6 million on the cap, but he didn't even get a fucking bottle wine that many felt bad after he said sorry

Nice job. He's so give him shit. We thought it was worst. He's the worst Santa there ever was. Yeah

“To be gonna keep in it loose in the room. How much were you guys given it to post after toe picking on the breakway?”

Obviously it helps out you guys one, but we've been given it to one and two through we were all man we were laughing on the on the It was on the boss was where I heard it first and then on the plane someone else pulled it up to but he trip this on the call after Oh fuck you Were you thinking when he fell out he was I was skating like biz out there

It was funny man. I know I know what he's saying after I saw the replay I'm like fuck you're watching that from the bench we can't see I'm like oh no man how did he Box that like it flowed down on him and when he tried to pull it off the wall like that's stuck in his feet But fuck yeah and a game like that there would have been nice here. We're gonna get a breakway. It all worked out It's pretty insane that like the way past the scores

Is one thing and everyone talks about it like a true superstar, but buddy he gets 60 assists every year now too Like and you see some of the passes he makes like you see and practice as well But his vision and passing is so underrated compared to like how people think of him as just a goal score The selling the shot and then finding a scene back door is what he's actually trying He's he's unbelievable at like he has that big like toe on his stick

And he like it almost looks like he holds the puck like out on it with his arm like up high He can do anything from there like he can go across body. He can open it up and go further like I see it Practice all the time, but like you really don't know what he's gonna do He's so good up positioning it like where he can he can do three things like off it just hold it there on the outside

It was played but I want to say I mean that I've always known it, but now everybody does because he you know

He had like I think 50 and a lot of years where he was scoring you know a lot of goals And he was playing all in with with two guys that were just feeding them all the time and then obviously when you know You lose a march on and a bourgeois on some of the guys that we've had when we had those really deep teams Like now we were asking him to do everything you're asking them to carry you know the whole offense really was what we were asking him to do And I think you saw it last year like

That he just had that club in his bag like and he did it so much. He fed geeks like crazy and then You know he ends up being a 30 goals score some of the plays he was making like it was just on display I think for everybody to get the appreciation like this guy Can do it all man. He not only can he score 50, but he's a he's a playing maker too CZI set a different level. Okay. I have a lot going on so I need my money stuff to be easy

a captain have to name a captain yeah a lot of people give it to Mcboy give it to Pasta

but as a player on the Bruins can you kind of explain how it's not always something necessary

I know it's different but like explain the leadership in your room without actually having somebody with the C on because it still works like we knew going into this year that we were gonna have a captain and like that was totally fine you know I think and when people ask me to as I always go back to like the captains we've had before so like when we had Z Z had his little subgroup right so it was Z marshy burgy had David back his in there you know then it became like

burgy then it was burgy marshy had Nick Feleno in there like we've just been spoiled with so many like NHL captains that have come through here you know and just like leaders so we had so many guys it stepped up but like they always talked about it and that was where I learned it because when

burgy was captain and then marshy like I was you know invited into those rooms like okay like

this is how we do things and you get to see how they do it by committee like they all leaned on each other for everything everything like you know when it was time to stand up and burgy or someone had to you know do something like they can do it because they're the guy but man everything they they normally were like doing it as a unit they're asking for opinions on stuff like you know doing it as a group so we knew coming in here that was kind of what I said was like we would do

it as a group anyway whether positive had to see or I had to see your hamps or anybody like we would all collaborate on it all lean on each other like because that's the way I've seen a work and have and have a lot of success so we made a leadership group going in this year um you know three guys with ladders but it's five guys total and then even from there we've added some guys that have been here like longer term and you just get to you know you ask more of guys

I think that's the biggest thing like because you don't want to do it by yourself you can't do it by yourself you give guys a little bit of like incentive like like Zadorov's a good example I was like Z you're such a big voice we need you use it for good like I'm going to challenge you to be to be a leader on this team and like he doesn't even wear a letter but we know in the room like he can speak up he does speak up like he can you know we do it as a group so there's so many

“different guys but I think that's how you can make it work without a C like we just asked more”

of everybody really well I think that answer right there proves the why you should be the captain but I got to bring up one story and it's one of my favorite stories definitely my favorite story from the summer time and it's your performance at the airport the day after math you could chuck's wedding can you tell this story then this this was insane I was still half in the bag too but I that's what made so much funnier because I was to do it it was so funny there was

so so we go to Chucky's wedding and St. Louis and like you know that St. Louis airport like in a no hub there's girl in the room a couple flights a day back home so like I'm flying there before I was the sailor not a bad airport I think I actually isn't there if

through JFK because I missed the Boston flight like there wasn't any seats on it of course this is a cachuk wedding so every single person from Boston wasn't invited so I couldn't get on it

and I went up my flight is at the neighboring gate I'm going to New York first and then I

go circle back so I was just like fucking I'm gonna throw a dart here like let's see if I can get on standby so I go out to the counter and I looked at this lady and she's like I will hi how could I help you I'm like and I'm just I'm dying to get on this plane like I'm looking to get on standby if you got any room she just looked at me say Louis girls she's like "shot you crazy you crazy"

flight over booked I'm fucking oh my god I'm sitting there I'm dying I'm like sweating I'm still drunk I'm like she told and just crushed my dreams I know why I thought I was getting on that plane she gave me nothing I turned around I walked right back to Yans who was just sitting sitting next to my wife and I told him that story and he fucking loved it man that was a great impersonation

"shotty crazy me and me and Kristen still say it to each other" "shotty you crazy" "oh that's so good" "yeah it was unbelievable because you were going back to very well you

“run an and tuck it so we were all going through that dick" "oh the whole way back I think we said”

"shotty crazy" "if people lay it" "now he texted to me every time Yans oh like uh who's the funniest guy in that locker room right now like who's the the court just or I was like asking that other than Z obviously man Z's funny we got some characters like pasta uh have funny when you get him going like Elias everybody brings a little bit to the table but we don't have that one like

class clown I think like we've had in past like I would always say Jake the bros because he was just

fucking oh fuck he was one man he was the he was one of the kind like he was the court gesture he was the class clown but we got some funny guys we got some good some good college guys I go I go back fourth of the middle saddle on he's got my sense of humor so we hit it off me in him he had a big gold I was a huge time go I was really happy for him to back and buff too is there anything better than uh that like the the money on the board for for a guy that's gone back to play city and

everybody's just telling them they didn't want you he's guys didn't want you were in there and Z goes don't worry they didn't want me either really couple buff guys yeah on the board that's right yeah he was there too Jesus yeah no that was huge I felt so happy for for mids to he's having a great year and that was just a big big old big old neck amen Charlie it's been it I know it's been a hard year for you in a lot of ways but also probably one of the best year years of your life so it's

“Charlie McAvoy awesome guy uh future captain I believe um and what a year it's been that's just”

crazy what he's been through out west boys the prince yant absolute veteran because I think it's some point we're gonna have Andrew Brunette on hell of a player he's done an awesome job there

wind it's now five in a row um I don't know what to say but like I don't know if they could

win their first round series right if they end up getting call rattle but they could also even catch

“Utah right now they're three points behind with a game in hand they got guys like I think forespurge”

and what he's done in a rally in the leadership and it's just been very impressive like I they extended their winning streak to five games inch closer to the mammoth and forespurge and you'll see have 16 combined points over Nashville's five game run so you know you'll see a few years back it was like 90 points just so dominant he still has that game um I don't know do you think that they could ever be call rattle if they do finish a I doubt it but like these they

got two more games at home than they have six on the road so like these these next two games for me for them are huge you got you got to get four points here for them because they got a six six game road trip long going out west I think they play Tampa then they go like L.A. San Jose back to Anaheim it's a weird schedule but that's a tough road trip to have at the end of the year when you need points as much as they do but they're also going to be playing L.A. a couple of times

which is you know a team that they're battling with so those are huge games but I would love nothing more for this team to get in like they stuck with their guys I love Brune out as a coach Derek McKenzie as a coach there too but just the veteran guys stamped close for his bird that you mentioned's been unreal you'll see the it's just one of those teams that you want to see get in especially after last year kind of derailing a little bit but you know they at the end of the

day they stuck with most of their guys and I hope they can get in bad. I would love to get Brune out on or anyone from their team even maybe how gill or mace and just to talk about how this is come about like I did a lot of people wrote this team off old and slow and thought maybe their their best best days were behind them but my goodness stamp a lot a lot of fun things to stamp close hitness 600 this year so a lot of positive vibes going there and it's just interested to hear what's

making what's making the magic happen is I think they wrote themselves off like the before the

“deadline they were talking about trading everybody well the key now having success is firing your”

GM part way through the season or having a desire or a tire or it just basically leave just get out of

your forced retirement. I watched a BU play UMass a couple years ago in this kid Ryan Ufko he was nasty for UMass D man the last year was his first full year spent he played one game in the NHL but had 30 points at 72 games this year with Milwaukee 44 points at 50 games he's up now he's got 5 points and 10 games he's great I don't know if you saw his first NHL goal was disgusting one of the best first NHL goals I can remember smaller like pock moving defenseman but

I think he's probably made a huge difference getting a guy in there who could skate move the pock just those players now they're just so valuable you see these undersized demand that are starting to make a big difference around the league and he's no different so him coming up makes a difference but that's a cool storyline in Edmonton big win in Utah in Connor McDavid gets his 400 and then

400 and first NHL goal he's got 1200 points third fastest player to ever do it he just keeps

“stacking up these records it's crazy to see I think there was a chance that if he had a goal in”

an assist it would have given him 400 and 800 in the same game for 1200 points which was crazy yeah he didn't smile on either one of the goals with well he gave all his energy to that kid to outside the boss there when he gave got that little impromptu interview it doesn't seem like there's a ton of smiling no some guys are just kind of like that I I remain steadfast at business set it to not if when he gets a stand like up I think he's gonna relax a little bit but yeah

he's gonna be a complete 180 he's gonna be he's gonna be Darren McCarthy just turn into him if Edmonton can keep teams to under 20 shots they're gonna be an issue in the playoffs buddy they're like a hundred and five and ten when they get over nine hundred safe percentage the last like three years and I'm not even exaggerating that much like it's somewhat of a testament if they if it's a if it's nine or one they'll just beat everyone

so I know people say the defense and the team defense and everything has to be better I agree but just get them some saves and God they will roll but that's pretty sick what he's been able to do the blackawks had a exciting prospect make his first NHL appearance Anton front del third overall pick

now oh so some people did come to his defense he's got to got those trouble cheeks apparently at the NHL combine where they do all the fitness testing for these kids about to be drafted

“he absolutely slaughtered them like he was top five and everything I think maybe even top three”

as far as is like VO two max output and yada yada yada but so apparently he's a he's a freak of nature with the fitness so don't take his chubby cheeks for what they are

macabois had that in the first part of his career too didn't you have like a uh chubby or

thing I mean they're constantly dreaded yeah came back from the combine and I think he said to Microsoft and like everyone thinks I'm fat I mean this picture is so fucked that's that's a fake picture I feel like he looks unmoved but the guy the guy's enormous he's guy game this is a guy blackawks fans are counting on to be a future stud I think they're hoping for a little Leo Carlson and Anton front del it was actually cool too uh before the opening face off

the dart switch with them and said hey you take the draw and or that just got snap back on the kid over one um but exciting times see what he can do the rest of the air for Chicago and the rocket for shard race boys macchinen's at 46 coffields at 44 Wyatt Johnson third in the league 40 I don't know how many powerplay goals does he have G he just got 23 right now that is nuts I mean just but a quiet 40 goal season would you agree I would say everything about the Dallas stars hey

we're talking coach of the year goals yeah like are you kidding me stepping in there like fucking ladies beat the board and wit I saw a stat that the last five uh Maurice for shard winners have played for a Canadian team so that could mean something for coffee I'll get in this at the end

“one also I think it'll mean it's a new rocket for shard trophy winner for one of those three guys”

get it macchinen's never won it right coffee doesn't have it why Johnson hasn't won it so first time

winner of the rocket for shard um and for the second to season cuz Leon last year did it um so it's pretty cool when you're getting you know a new goals leader every year it feels like that's exciting who was the last American to win it Madonna Matthews Jesus Christ oh good this is remorseful guys good his feels bad he said I really hate the way it ended up the point of the point of contact I'm not a fan of that I never want to injure anybody out there it's a hard

fuck game I feel terrible both the outcome I just committed to the play and unfortunately that was the point of contact there's probably people out there really what are we going to cover those of you for those of you who don't know him he is 100% sincere the guy plays hard to shit he plays on the edge a little bit but off the ice and as a teammate he is one of the best human beings I have ever played with an unbelievable father an unbelievable husband great teammate like he 100% means you know

when you see quotes like that from guys who are labeled as dirty players you know you take it as a grain of salt but he is not like that he is an all-time guy gentleman off the ice just a great guy and any team would love to have him in their locker room yeah I mean a great accountability perfect quote and respect to him for each note to Matthews and having the conversation now like

I've never you know knock on wood like I've never had to do that like I bought him you didn't

call the iris travelers after you punch their heads in put you mean I kicked my head and would I have either of you ever had to call somebody no that would be a tough thing to do like I apologize to a ref after the game once Mark Recky made me apologize yeah

“you go order that you went to the room I believe so yeah you walked over looking here he's like”

the fuck you don't talk to a ref like that I think it was a line's been actually it's a good running a six pack if you bring anything I think the bottom in a six pack doubt I'm in a class he will I just wanted to have a minute I'm sorry I'm a nerd rookie guy I shouldn't have had that okay but you have a letter of the chat GPT that are just carving them how is z's one of a guy I can't call him big Z what do I call him I know I would say big Z too

but big Z I like that I like that the answer of laser going right now there's 13 minutes left you can't Michigan State kick this thing off it's one one right now you guys remember how high I spoke of riker leave when we watch Penn State Michigan State yeah I call big is it is there the big guy the big four yeah he scored one of the most disgusting goals I've seen this year you

wait you see this goal it's ridiculous so that's uh you call on Michigan State did I say Penn State my bad one one right now where did he get drafted again Nashville he's right he's 26 overall

“I think Nashville's hoping they lose G any update on the neutral regional sites that could”

All right let's bring them in Hello everybody welcome to our raise world here in the spit and chickens podcast not like being introduced as the cockroach of the sea thanks for that with dog I love the

Chuck and Chuckie Mac I can digity gigity like quack by introduction and biz I love the little ricochet shot by the way Who calls fucking baseball a ball diamond you out one of a kind to get us worse than the list of the lobster Poutine

Uh oh call you've never heard that no they called the diamond or the ball like my brother after they hit his head

And got a concussion need my to call that's about it. I kind of like the collab I'm used to the hair from the fans that might be my new saying the lot that I'm state hat Oh, that's money. Wow. That was their logo that logos fresh And ironically well I would later for the checkups cup became friends with a bunch of actual mohacks from Mohawk Tribe Well, we had the yeah, they gave you the weed before the car like marida

That was when we were getting phone calls they found me the fuck out boys. Oh, those those mohacks had some good

“And I remember saying you I'm like hey, I think that stuff is like pretty strong and I got it and then I think they dragged you back to that”

Marion possibly yeah, and then we we re-hitched up back a couple years later, but yeah, those guys great show to my my Mohawk pals But yeah, yeah, it's actually I I still had some stuff in storage and I grabbed a couple bags. I had a whole bunch of hats and I cleaned them out I have my Famous hat cleaning method, which is my pin tweet you take me in the shower Where it in the shower just kind of soap it up like you would like shampoo in your head and uh they come out pretty clean

So it worked I thought you rolled a dishwasher. No, no, no, that's the second worst way to clean a hat Because it's just it's you get high powered fucking like water pressure on hats that like they're old

They're gonna like pull the threads apart the worst way is to put it in a wash machine never put a hat and watch machine

Or the dishwasher you take it in the shower and if it's all the hat a little delicate with it

“But take it in like literally like this so many hats nowadays you should never be wearing a dirty hat”

But yeah, all right, I've done it and it works. I it works to perfection I remember you tell me you're like just wash your head wash your hair like washing your hair and I was in there You throw it yeah, and it and I came out and I put it outside in the sun it look like I just bought it from lids Exactly, it's the adryot and it does the trick so I've got to work for you Wow, yeah, I think I might like full-fledged half CT. I could have sworn your entire method was putting it in the desk

I think it's in fact my my tweet with the blood which is style right in a biz

Like we just said I missed a big part of it. It's the do not what would you say here? What would you say you're top five blogs of all time are? Well, that that I got to put that one in there. Oh my god. This I got one that was a class Remember when we asked you to start blogging a little bit more and and yeah, okay, and then you you blogged That's even so all movies What are you talking about like I don't even a top five? No, no, it actually was it was a random fucking

It was a Steven sick all DVD collection on on Amazon because I yeah I don't people love it. I still buy DVDs. I still buy blue rays and and CDs because I'm I'm all fashion I love my physical media and it was like it was like a 10 fucking movie Steven's a call Collection, but none of them had like alpha death Yeah, mac for death

Was that the fucking had to had to fucking kill Alpha justice and mac for death. Those are his three biggest movies of all time and they were these crazy like old like Russian made movies when he was like You know fake wrestling a bear and shit So yeah, that was a classic good pull there. I know talk movies would be under siege

“You could put it in the top mac mac for death alpha justice in had to kill those his I believe we're his first three”

Those are the three that made him a legend. This is back. My video story days that I go Richie's movies Amola back in the day and those were there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would just agree And maybe don't at the time but if you go back and watch them now and like in like burn before you watch them They're pretty comical Like I don't think it's been kicking somebody's head off like that's not

I want to know who the Bobby Lupo. We could have a game seven quadruple over time goal of the year to win the cup Next day R.A. could drop a blog about Steven's a golf

What's one more R.A. One more McDavid finally gets his cup. Oh, sorry

He only ever wrote two blogs in the middle of COVID where it was Halloween on COVID and everyone's freaking out about mass and R.A. being the the live that he is made. I title. It was like I hate mass. Oh, that was pretty good Yeah, it was a blog about how he hates Halloween mass is great. Oh, I love the idea I am anti mask here the reason it was like total clickbait headline, but it was like about, you know like all by historic Halloween class And boys, I'm fucking psyched about the Bruins huge win Wednesday night in Buffalo, biz I was watching TNT

Great stuff. I love you. You and Pangegon back and forth another big win they got Minnesota in town tomorrow

“I'm gonna be home with a building I you go and I think I'm gonna be upstairs. I'll shoot your text”

Been around you don't you gonna be the boys. Yeah, I'm gonna be Riner was friend of my buddy. Yeah front on the glass right behind the net the room shoot at twice my father Don't you lose every time you go to that in those seats possibly. Yeah, I feel like every time Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and like I love this fucking team and I I think they're gonna get in the playoffs I really hope they do but what they've done so far

I love and I love how like you know, so we need you didn't do anything to the deadlight It was almost like you guys earned to like the right to just like play this out. You know like they didn't you know

Instead of trading like it like x play a for like a for the fifth no man here you guys have like like basically

It's all gravy right out so I'm glad that what they've done hopefully getting the playoffs and really the only two teams I wouldn't want to play in the first round not to put the cat for the horse a puppy Tampa Bay and and the island is due to serocone But otherwise I don't I don't love you guys to get care of line up bring it on players. Oh I love you guys later line up. Yeah, I'll roll those dice. Okay, who's been your favorite addition All right to the team like who's been your who have been your guys this year got to be big Z

Well, he was here before oh, but like he if you actually go back to the playoffs

“I believe two years ago I was clamoring for the brune's the signs of Dora if I said I want this guy on the brune's next year”

Would he was gonna be a UFA so I was way ahead of the the course Way ahead of the fucking squad on that one and then you know even last year people all over my think this year He kind of like fully blossomed into what people thought he'd be but I love what Avatson's brought Biz you know like he's a guy, you know, he bounced around a bit He's got if he does have 20s close to 20 goals down

You know, you know, he's just you know, well those guys who just fit in perfect in like I said before They you know, they got a one super duper style geek. He's obviously become a top line sniper But it's just a lot of guys who just give hot and effort and gristle and balls and that leads the winning hockey Swimming's been out of his mind since the Olympics but Pasella's been awesome to I think he's fought Then high dangerous saves as well. So I just love what this team's doing and it just love the Avats

So I really want to see him get the playoff

It went to piggyback on your climate David point dealers to say he was the first player in history to get his

Before 100 goal in 1200 point in the same game

You mentioned caught a bit died tagging out so boy. I bow hoover kid dust. I hit so I'm for dulling that first face So I he did get a help in his debut so congrats to him, but in that same game and this is courtesy of I at 19 consecutive Matthew Shafer he played the 31 58 of ice time that game, which isn't saying the I while he was out there The aisles generated 59 chart attempts while allowing just 21 against The house had 30 shots on goal allowed just 12 while he was out there. Oh, it's got the hawks too old and that's been

And the 208 O2 when Chafe was not in the ice the island is recorded 17 shots ago for 12 against and well Oh, it's good One to four so like just that kid. I know we talked about them all the time, but we like to give props to with these young guys adorn Also, I know the nickname called the division of pillow fight the pacific and that's that was going around the the gold differential the Atlantic plus 88 central plus 31 metro plus 3 pacific minus 122

I know it's easy to make fun of but what do you think this actually will matter can play off time if you got in a high and Edmonton and Vegas and the playoffs Does it really matter I think that So I'm one's gonna have to play pretty well to come out of that division. I mentioned last show that looks like Utah is gonna be the one crossing into the pacific and they like could maybe come out of there based on how bad everyone else has been

But if you do come out you win two rounds obviously you've found something at that point right and Let's say continues to be just bad hockey for whoever wins those first two rounds and then you get a central team who's probably Been getting the shit kicked out of them moving on in that division. So no no I mean it matters

“But it doesn't because I think once you're out of there you're playing well enough and no, hey”

I got four more games. We got a win. We're in the cup final. So which it'll probably end up in again if Edmonton if they go into the cup final again This year biz you're gonna just have to tip your cat be like all right this this team is a complete circus

That you can never ever count out

Yeah, no, it's I mean they're yeah, they just they're a soap opera They think they just brought Paul coffee back after going to the finals within the last two years like Sign him halfway through the year like what the fuck is going on there? It's ridiculous and also coach in the forwards Five teams into the vision and the playoffs too. So yeah, I think it's kind of it's funny to make fun

But the end of the day. I don't think it matters Congrats to me because the better you had one thousand games play the ends. You played a few with him My mama's taken correct. No, I never played with him. He only fucked my bad. All right. Yeah, no, no, but obviously played against them

“Unreal career visit you said he had 800 points. That's how unbelievable like what a collective”

Yeah, thousand games 800 points. That's amazing and also I want to congratulate our buffalo's assistant

Equipment manager George Babcock 2500 games another equipment guy with 25 hundred a move talk about guys playing a thousand, but he's got equipment guys bang it out Two twenty two thousand twenty five hundred games good shit What you mentioned a guy's first goal early yet now Cole Hudson's first goal is an empty data in the course that lets a like discussion like oh, that's a tough way to get your first goal

But like and biz. I think it was the Minnesota tape a big game plant his homeburg. He got a referee a wooded empty net goal Now with an referee a wooded empty net goal actually be the worst way. Just could you you're ready to go with a puck doesn't even actually cross the line What Alicia remember it I don't because it's because you're going to score. They only give it to you when it's obvious you're gonna score Doing your mind you scored

But yeah, I actually think yeah, like the answer. It's kind of like a cool story You know, it's very rare Like I was so fast the guy had to drag me down and you know, you could really put some salt and pepper on

Actually my first NHL goal never even crossed the goal line and then yeah, right into it

I mean, I tell mine all the time. I was kind of I wasn't even looking at the puck I was even looking at I was looking at anything really I was just kind of in my own world and hit my foot in when it's during the race So it didn't cross the didn't actually cross the line? No, it did I just like wasn't looking

“Okay, I was trying to see my guy on that and staring at a bitty in the front row and it fucking I was like what the hell?”

Oh, yes, I think the worst. I think the worst first goal would be if like The teams about to go on a pile play and they pull the goalie and then the team has an own goal and you happen to be the last guy to touch the puck I'd be the worst fucking goal to have a get that would be funny though Like just like the other one where if that you got hauled down like that's still a funny way to tell the story and you can tell it forever Yeah, exactly it makes it a little little distinct little something different. So all right boys today in hockey history

27 years ago our pal Adrian a coin became the first demon a caduck connect history to school of 20 goals in the season Five one win over the Canadian. He broke the old team record of 19 set by Doug Howard back in 82 83 20 years ago today Chris Chellios became the first guy to play at least 400 games for three different franchises. That's wow credible

It was his 400th with the wings that day. He had 400 to with the Habs and

5 years ago our guy Keith the endo became the first defenseman and third play ever to play nine hundred consecutive games at the NHL so Some snaps to our boy. Thank you. I boy. Yeah. Good stuff. I don't know if you guys have been watching Netflix lately Shuttle ten Netflix, but the new Jeffrey Ross special. It's called take a banana for the ride you guys Obviously know Jeffrey Ross the roast master roast man. Oh, he's hilarious

You know, it wasn't it wasn't a traditional stand-up. You know, like we used to with the mic It was a with like a one-man show and he goes into great detail about his upbringing and his parents

“How we find himself in the comedy world and honestly I recommend that to anybody now”

It's Jeffrey Ross. So obviously this like human that might not be everyone's cup of tea. I mean whatever It's it's comedy show. You got to get that but it was very emotional. He goes real deep on like I said it is his family history And there's some really real tandem moments in it like really like emotional moments a particularly at the end Where he goes out until the crowd and and you know the the then take up in it A variety doesn't mean a bit in it from the kind of old business when you out with like 70 a dates

But it's it's it's a he gets into the story of why why that matters and it's really like I like I said It's a it's a 10-to-thing of the end of the day if you look at something to watch Jeffrey Ross Take a banana for right good stuff there is a kind of like bull burnham special, but you know what that's a great comparison Yeah, bull burn and you just got me to not want you All right, but like Mike per big live another guy who does like what you call one-man shows instead of like, you know

It's not like you know getting up and just telling jokes all all the time and you know Jeffrey Ross. He is hilarious And you know when he comes out he like I didn't realize he you know He had he's been it with cancer and he had LAP she get diagnosed with late life, so I and he addresses that off the hop But definitely like I said it's surprisingly emotional and and definitely give that a recommendation

classic recommendation for old school movie. This is one you guys probably never heard of 1981

Called night hocks. So Vesta Sloan made this between rocky two and rocky three Billy D Williams was just coming off the Empire Strikes back. It's about a terrorist loose in New York City And it has one of the most insane stunt stunts haven't done. It's like you guys I don't feel familiar Rougevelt Island on New York City. It's it's the East River It's you know that I own the people live on but there's an old school tram but like you almost like a ski gun doll

It's still operational to this day and they did a stunt on this with like So Vesta Sloan and the late right Kahava who's awesome actor. It's a kind of a legendary stunt But anyways, it's a of billbiter of a thrilla. It's not very popular, but if you're looking for like a great action from the 80s Nighthawks 1981 give it a world good stuff all right have you seen Hail Mary yet with Ryan Gosling

Did you took the word where it's right out of my wallet. I was fucking incredible. Oh, it last night

Nice weekday without spoiling what's the what's the verdict? I really I really liked it I Don't think I like was upset like the reviews have been like obsessed

“I really liked it. I think I would have enjoyed a little bit more of flashbacks”

But this is like really like what's the word when you like it's I loved it. I loved it But what was an original idea? It was a book Okay, love this who isn't a comedy if you liked it No, but it was very funny. He's my favorite actor. I think I think he's great. He's a very likable guy He's Canadian Canadian London Ontario or neither I say to the I say to the puppy head tilt there when I said that

But yeah, we're over the is what what doesn't seem to be like a big fan of comedies whether TV shows Oh, I like what am I like comedy? I just I'd rather like a draw like this movie was great because it did have comedy But it was dramatic because there's just not a lot of good comedies anymore. No exactly if they made wedding crashes in old school I'd be watching comedy. Oh, yeah, nowadays What they don't really make movies are yeah, like what was the last like hilarious movie?

Like there's the naked gun remake what I would say. Okay, Liam decent. I mean, but you're right It's I was hoping that would sort of break the damn because just it goes like this. It's like pendulum But it's like they kind of gets politically correct and then we you know like back in the 90s Things changed and we got like America pie and all those sort of dirty movies and then things kind of went pussy pussyway You know kind of quiet for that way and I think it's coming back the other way because people movie with Michael Cena

And Jonah Hill super bad super bad Oh, yeah, oh yeah, but from like 2001 to 2000 was it eight maybe 10. Yeah, yeah, there was a good good run there

“So I think that's coming back, but we do need good clown to hangover. Did you see the Ryan Gosling one as well?”

All right, no, I'm actually tonight. Friday night. I have a ticket up at the I max up at the Jordan's furniture I've been writing cannot wait got my my seat all prepared. So did you see it? I'm expert. No, I didn't

And throughout the movie. I was like this this would be incredible. There's one scene that I was like oh my god

It's actually real. It's not CGI I want to see biz I'm not even sure because I watch previews less than less because they give so much of them Yeah, I know so you know, I kind of go through like snippets of like You know critics I follow and guys who's opinion I trust and then I you know like okay, I think it would it's a great space the space craft

He's in as a million buttons, right? It's like just sort of insane thing

They they they he was in that Physically like they built that whole thing out Apparently where they didn't want to use too much CGI like obviously that being the main part part where he's like apparently in that majority of the movie, right? Yes, yes, and the more I think it's an unreal movie

“I think I just went and thinking like this can be one of the best movies. Can you give us dog break?”

Can you give us the breakdown of what what the story line is? No spoiling alert. He's a Middle school science teacher and the sun is dying and Over the course of the next 30 years the planet's gonna Become like I'm not giving anything away. All right. No, I know I just that's how I'm that's how much I'm I am so committed to like don't spell

I don't not saying you so you don't know anything about it legit. No, I take the help of it No, then I gave enough I gave enough I mean it just I don't it was so I couldn't hear it. It's it's not about what I like that's the best way And that is the best way to go to move Like totally 100% blind

By the way, so we're gonna go awesome the nice guys might be his best movie when when him and Russell The 70s app private ice help in LA busy, but I've been trying to get like hey, we got to go. I love going to the movie theater and this movie theater and chest not held It's got your order dinner. They bring beers and the dinner to your seat

Get the recliners. It's incredible theater super locks are something

Yeah, I smuggled my drinks and fucking her. She's on my back. I made that. I made Darb's bag of gold fish By the way, I do stream over to a douchebag was him as a character like the character itself Fuck you hated him. That'll be nice. I take that. What an acting job if you really ate a person Exactly like you think like Sharon still in the casino exactly. Well Drickle bit a little bit to the to the Oscar

“No, he said he hates opera and ballet, and I think that might have hurt him, right?”

No, I know what I've been talking about like yeah, like just yeah, maybe be it all over Yeah, either way. I don't think I don't he he gets screwed out of any of what I'll leave it That my NHL picks last week. I gave you a winner. It's a rental auto a Saturday afternoon I got a few this week a Tampa Bay auto a Saturday afternoon as well I don't know what the over under is it just bet the six and a half you could whatever

Tees the line do whatever you could do whatever these days on draft Kings Also the ducts upon the oil is I like the ducts. Sorry with ducts over the oil is and take the over in that game pound the over They've scored. I think 11 goals in their first two games so far this season and Finally, we want to send our deepest condolences to the the grilly family on the loss of their Patriarch Steve

I never met coaches. He's well known down the South Shore

But I've been fortunate to come friendly with a son Steve over the years and what the end of all you guys

“He's been instrumental in you guys friendship, but you guys your whole life, right?”

Yeah, Jack and myself and Keith's brother Brian. We played on the same team growing up and Mr. Greeley coached and then, you know, he had here five kids, right? So he's busy guy and it was tough man. It was a battle along battle with You started Parkinson's and dementia and I got to see him in August when they gave him a couple weeks at that point He made it, you know, he made it to March and it was just

You know nice to see no more suffering, right? Like it was really hard. I think for the family, but you know I go a long way back. Steve and I became close played it be you together and I I just feel so bad for them, right? Like you've seen the post that all kids have been doing and it's uh, it's really tough for them to go through that So you know losing somebody that I knew very well and you know that I'm good friends with with his son It's just hard to see people hurting like that and but like like I said to Jack and Steve like

I hope you guys are at peace knowing he's not suffering anymore and and I know that you know It's a tough time for them. So the wakes Monday and the funeral was Tuesday and I'm glad I'm glad you showed him out. I was gonna wait till the end, but good move, but I'm right there. Alright, okay

That the team particular team at that time you guys might never have a different friendship. He had so yeah

I want to give him a shout out there. No, I should have mentioned when we were talking NCAA quick There's Emily Kaplan did an awesome video on Michael Hage at Michigan I knew his father had passed away a few years back, but I didn't know the story and You know, for anyone who doesn't watch and I hope you do his dad was an enormous

“Marcher all Canadians fan and his brother. I believe that Michigan with him”

And they were at the pool like having a pool party with friends over and his dad dove in the pool and nobody noticed that he must have hit his head or something And all of a sudden, you know, they seem down there and Michael actually dove in drag them out Trying to give him CPR's dad passed away. I didn't know that story

But he's an incredible player and then they fast forward

Years later, it's just him and his mom and his brother at the draft and Montreal's up and Montreal takes him and he he left the hospital I think in a Canadian's like onesy and you know his mom's hug and I'm like this is your dad here with you It's very emotional awesome piece by Emily Kaplan that you could see anywhere online
