>> My feet walkin' low beside the wall, I'm goin' to you, ain't she not been the studio? [MUSIC] >> Hi, welcome to the hockey show, I'm David. On the other side of the glass is our driver today. That's Rose. Rose is going to be taking over in just a second, in the back, we have Ethan and Jason holding it down for us.

But Roy, we miss you, you're sick, it sucks, get better soon. >> You make it sound like he's dying, he's not dead. >> You miss him, he's still alive and he's not dead. >> I did, I'm so crazy. We have a guest host today since Roy is not here and it's at an end.

At an end, Burke, and there'll be nobody. Prime hockey is here to help me get through this and on that note, Rose, take it away. >> Okay, so before we start, we want to just take a minute for Jesse Pears and her kids,

β€œbecause they died on a fire last week, that was it last week?”

>> Yes, so earlier this week, I guess. >> Yeah, earlier this week, so we just want to take a moment there. >> Yeah, that one hurt man, that was, that was rough, tragic story. No question about me, three kids dying in a fire like that, it's just awful awful story. Yeah, a lot of the wildbones, town last night, so a lot of the Minnesota Media Word,

we're here, I was talking a few of them after the game, and it's just an awful awful story. It's nice to see that the hockey world is kind of rallied around the wild, the family.

That's always nice to see, but this one really gutted me at end.

>> Yeah, I mean, Michael Russo, my huge fan of this is a great job, obviously covering the wild. Once I saw his tweets about it, I was just in shock and it's really unimaginable. I mean, for any of us who have kids, you suffer this kind of atrocity, it's just tragic. So well, Preston pays to just in obviously her children. >> Man, so after that, like we do have, and we're entering this period of time where teams are downfalling.

So I'm going to give you some stats, and then I'm going to ask you boys, because the Red Wings look back to back. Lose back to back games, 13 of their last 20 games. Then you have the Kraken that lost four in a row before their Tampa win last night, same with the Kings, lost four in a row, until they bid the Kanooks, Kanooks. >> No, you got it, the Kanooks.

>> Bingoings lost 11 of their 19 games and Sidney left the game with an injury, and then you have the shards with Losing 6 in a row and knocking themselves from the playoff contention.

β€œSo now I ask you, which of these teams are already lost and which ones just had a bad week?”

>> That's tough, Rose. I wanted to say the shards were going to be bouncing back, but they've really kind of screwed themselves with their losing

straight. The Kings always seem to be meandering around the playoffs. I feel like they're probably

going to find a way in, but the team that I just can't stop staring at, adding in, and the one that just really surprised me this year, and maybe it's fooling me one situation, but the Detroit Red Wings. This is a team that I thought was in the driver's seat for so much of the season. They were tied with Carolina for first in the East this recently is January 25th, which is two months ago. There's not that long ago with a giant Olympic break in the middle.

I was just kind of went down the rabbit hole, a little bit yesterday, but since the Olympics, they're five six and two. Under 500, not good enough. They've dropped from second in the division when the Olympic break started to all the way out of the playoffs now. I think they're two, what are they? Three points at two points back in the islanders. Three points back of a playoff spot, currently three points back in the islanders. >> Two games in hand to be fair to them.

>> Their scoring is falling off a cliff though. They're 31st in goals per game over the last six weeks. At two point two two goals per game. Their power play is third from bottom in the lead,

13 percent. Their trade deadline adds just in thought David Perron. They haven't done much.

So I don't know how Detroit's in a bounce back from this, but this would be the third straight year where they've been in a playoff spot for much of the year. And then down the stretch, they just fell off a cliff. >> Yeah, I remember talking at Todd McLeod on their head coach in late January on the time of your retirement when they were just rolling. And he said, "You know, the key is coming out of the Olympic break in March or basically playing 14 games

in 31 days. You're playing every other night. And he was well aware of the fact, you look at the record of Detroit Redbanks the last three years. March has been like that cliche in like a line out like a lamb. They've been awful in the month of March. And so Todd was well aware of the fact that we've got to avoid that pitfall again, even when those walls were playing. And what's happened if again, falling apart in March, coming at the Olympic break, losing

till and looking hurts, I totally get it. Most side are for much of the season. Look at a Norris trophy candidate. John Gibson was a terrific pick-up for much of the year, but they've completely fallen apart, as you said. It's not complete doom and gloom as Ethan said.

β€œThey do have a couple of games in hand. But I think it's a big deal when you go from a”

shirt-a-plow spot to on the break to outside looking in. Like once you start to need a little bit of help, it's tough. In fact, you win those two games in hand. The Iraq, you're one point up on the Islanders. But it's a log jam right now between the Islanders, the Senators, the Bruins, the Flyers, even still alive. It's really been disappointing for Detroit. And you have to think,

What does this mean for Steve Eisenman?

great player. We always beloved in Motown. We saw his success in the front office at Tampa Bay.

But he's knocked around this Red Wing steam. And clearly the criticism is on him. I don't know if he can survive this if the Red Wing's fall out of the playoffs again. And then it's not only year nine of the Azure Plan. It will be year nine without the playoffs for a franchise that had made the playoffs 26 times in a row prior to this massive rebuild that they underwent, right? So this really feels like a Maker Break year for the Red Wing's. And if they

don't do it, considering how much ground they how much breathing room they built up for themselves at the beginning of the year. And if they just epically collapsed down the stretch like this, and they don't make the playoffs. I mean, look, they still have a lot of great building blocks, great siders, a fantastic player, Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin, Alex to bring it's a great player.

β€œBut it's it's almost like a wittered you go from here, like something has to change. And I think”

they might have to take a big swing and say, look, I know we've got this pipeline that we love with all this talent in it, but it's time to take a swing and go after a big time superstar, to pair with this nice core that we have because it's not working. Whatever they've been doing is not working. And they're falling apart. Like I said, they luckily, they built up a bunch of

breathing room for themselves because they were one of the best teams in the league for the first

couple of months of the season. But man, if they missed the playoffs, it'll be an absolute disaster. Now on the flip side, just kind of perusing the standings. You've got Anaheim who have climbed the standing slowly, but surely it's where they're now in first place in the Pacific division. And then we've been talking about them a lot, but Buffalo just will not stop. They are now tied with Carolina for the top spot in the eastern conference. And also, we haven't mentioned them yet,

but Columbus. Now third in the division, one point back at Pittsburgh, they're right there. And what a fun story that has been in Columbus. I mean, Zacharence has been having a Norris worthy season. It's just been a lot of fun watching them succeed. And I would love to see Columbus in the playoffs.

β€œObviously with all the Johnny Gaudro stuff from last year, but how much fun would that be?”

And then to see Columbus back in the postseason? I'm with you, David. People have said that Columbus is one of the most irrelevant sports franchises. I mean, they've got 20 years, it's a tough one. Yeah, they've won one playoffs. There's in 25 years. Exactly. You're going to call in. Thank you. That's the. You're going to Columbus Ohio. And you go, okay, they're known for the black guys. What else you got?

No, the blue. We have a hockey team here. I'm like, oh, yeah. So I'm like, I would love to see some love giving to Columbus beyond the fact that they have a cannon, which is obviously a great attraction there when you go to games. You know, I think a lot of this goes to Rick bonus. There's no question about it with Dean Abbasin. The fact that they've got the stones to pull the plug and fire him midseason and bring him bonus and no bones about it. Rick has been tremendous. This guy's

in his early 70s. He was on a boat with this wife just enjoying life. He gets the phone call took him over 10 seconds because I'm in and they've taken off. He's a prior friendly coach player friendly coach. So it's a and they've had a lot more offense with him at the the helm. They're playing

β€œloose and yet they still have a structure, which is the tough thing to do. I'm with you. I think Columbus”

ends up being second in the metro. I get the penguins that third in the metro. Columbus is going to be a playoff team, which you could not have said a couple of months ago. Full credit to Rick bonus for the way he's turned it around. How about the emergence of Adam Fin Tilius? Well, this guy has really turned himself into a star player in this league and you look at this lineup like this is a talented team. This is no you know last year they kind of surprised everybody. People felt like they kind of

rode the emotion of the Johnny Goodro tragedy into nearly making a playoff spot and they've done the same exact thing this year in terms of they really struggled out of the gates. Have been one of the hottest teams in the league the last couple months and now they have themselves in a playoff spot. I agree with you. I know I think they're going to sail by the penguins here in the last couple weeks of the season end up in the second spot in the metro and they're going to be a

tough out for Caroline and that second round if they get past their first round matchup whoever that may be. But there's not there's not many players I love in the league right now more than Zach Warrenski watching him as an absolute joy and he's really parlaying what he did in the Olympics in terms of kind of maybe you know announcing himself to the general American public as a superstar in the NHL. He is an incredible player. Yeah, I'm with the Lorenzki's a guy you know often times

the Norris you know it becomes a popularity contest or people make it very easy in the massage while there's no any better than Cal McCarr. Yeah, Queen Hughes but if ever there's here that

Lorenzki was going to break that long game as saying those two guys are always in a win the Norris.

This should be that year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's his team of the playoffs? I think it could be a great story to see him win the Norris. He was great a year ago even better this year. Okay, so we can say that the NHL is either broken or drunk or both, but since the Panthers are not the fans in the Starry Cup and Ed and then we know that your leaves are not that good. We are going to do some things. Rosie, I'm a flyers fan that's an often mistake. I am from Toronto by I'm a flyers from

McGoat. The Leafs think I'm throw the Leafs are terrible. Go. Oh, beautiful. So your team is going to the playoffs, right? No, a flyers fan right away with a 12% chance to make the playoffs. Still a lot points out. Okay. Five points out with the Robin Games to go. So it's a very, very panthers

Type of situation before the Palmaris Bill Zito era.

are picking a team emotionally of who we want to see in the playoffs since the Panthers win. They're not going to be there. And then in two weeks when we do really have the teams, we're going to

β€œlet the helmets pick our fate but right now. I think we're going to go one-on-one to see who are”

they rooting for and I'm going to read to you first voice because he sent it and he doesn't want

anyone to take hits. So Roy says, I'll start with a Buffalo Savers. I've liked the Savers since 1993. So there's history there for me. The NHL quite honestly is better when the Savers are good. So that is Roy's pick. Ethan, what's yours? Rosie, I am all in on the Minnesota wild. They have four, like some of my favorite players in the league when you talk about Coral Caprizov, Matt Boldy, the Brock Faber, Quinn Hughes.

I really love that combination of players. And they're just a fun team to watch. And the other team I'm really in, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, And the other team I'm really in, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

I just like I like new blood. I always I'm going to root for the new blood and I

But Colorado is a fun team But I would rather see a new team like Minnesota rather than just watching the same old Colorado versus Edmonton or You know Dallas versus Edmonton in the Western Conference final like give me something new Exactly, all right. Had none your turn So obviously I'm a flyers fan. I'm sure for Philly, but if I can't pick my team I'll go with a bunch of all Canadians

β€œI think that would be a choice in Montreal trying to get back to the playoffs”

Obviously face the leaves to season ago cold coffee the first 40 gold score for this Montreal teams have Vincent Dumpfus back in 1993 94 that whole top line by the way is incredible. It's got to cause it's a great season

Well might be the top line of hockey. So Montreal's been a little bit up and down right now the third in the Atlantic

They got 90 points two points up on Boston got to see the Habs of the playoffs David I'm going to take a page at a Ethan's book. I'm going to take the Pacific Division as my playoff teams So I'll take anti him. I like the dots a lot. I love you know, you okay back their rows Sorry, sorry. I was going to give you a second round, but it's taken Yeah, we only need one. We only need one. No, it's been really fun watching the ducks this year

They off to a great start. They kind of fell off a little bit, but they bounced right back around What was it around? I guess Valentine's Day when they've really turned it back up in a corner, but I mean cut a god He's so much fun to watch. Yo Carlson who just those dollars been great in net and he got to give Joe Quinnville some props He's done a great job at the ducks this year, so yeah, and you know, at least they'll be in the playoffs for sure So something to report, but yeah shout out. Yo Carlson cut a go to a

Who else? I love Jackson will come on that team. That team is a fun one True Terry Chris Prider chicken win Truba Well, I'm going for I don't know if they're gonna make the playoffs, but I love the ocean So I'm going for this out of cracking. Wow There are three

That's a shocking choice to see how cracker are not a fun team to watch so I'm like citing team I love Joey decord because we had him on the podcast great guy can handle the podcast I love boys like handle the podcast well and John Ford's the course of cracking my colleague and team And I'm primed so those are the things like but yeah, but you tell me is a hockey fan rose You want to see the cracker in there?

Yeah, yeah, I love the ocean. You know the name don't think it's a crack in mascot Wow, no, but I know there was a very handsome guy that I don't think is there anymore

β€œYeah, Vince done he's still there. He's done. Yeah, he's still there. I think we're like sweet on night even years”

Can we just shout out real quick the national predators and the fact that they're currently holding down the final playoff spot in the western conference A disaster last season complete and under disaster looks like they were heading for the same thing and very quietly I don't think we've talked about them on the show at all this year very very quietly have played really well The back end of the season and currently find themselves one point up on the Los Angeles Kings for the final playoff spot Now they would run into the Colorado avalanche in the first round, but still what an accomplishment that would be for that team

If they're able to rally and will themselves in the playoffs at the back end of the season Specifically the stand口 has been revitalized. Look at he was done as he used to go. He's actually a terrific season for them I'm with you Nashville pretty shocking Andrew Burnett has got that team looks completely crept even Stampo's is 36 goals this year Choc. How do I miss that In fact, he could be a four days old girl. They're like I've done but where the hell did that come from?

Props to use the even stamp. Oh, well, here we go. He's got two three four five goals in his last four games But still good god, man, we know Philip Forzberg also quietly with a 33 goals

65 point season that kid is that guy is a stood in so much that's must have p...

Okay, so those are our teams and next next two weeks we won't have control because the helmet is gonna tell us what and we're gonna have to

I wish the penguins get there and Roy gets the penguins and he cannot change it because that's his helmet I will love that so maybe it maybe happens, but But you can troll the bag so you know, I know, maybe maybe I'll do something there Hey, Roy buddy, you know that energy shift when the game gets good and everybody altogether in unison knows to stand up on their feet Oh, absolutely Mike. Yeah, you've been at many big-time sporting events. You know that moment quite well

β€œThat's what it's like when you take your first sip of queer vop. Oh delicious. It's the signal that says”

Now we're gonna get to the panters then because they're still playing out on a why with we we we

β€œYou have to play 82 games for you no matter what you have to play it”

I'll let you leave this guys because I the only thing I want to see is Barky. Thank you Well, you might I mean there's still seven games left and he's been stating you know He's in a show up and there's not gonna be anybody left the panthers lost another player Last night probably for the season Evan Rodriguez broke his finger so he joins an incredibly long list of players Who's on this list? Ethan he got barcov

Rine heart Martian Rodriguez. Let's see line heart probably gonna be one del meat although in skiss Wind Sam a scavenge got a bitch caught all these guys long term injuries the panthers still I mean give him credit They're fighting back last night. They were down too nothing. They fought back and almost forced the game over time Three and a half seconds or whatever it was away

But one thing that I liked last night at net anything when we were speaking a Matthew to chuck in the locker room One one of the things that he said was the reason or one of the reasons that they're still pushing so hard And that there's still kind of trying to do their thing is the culture that they've built in this team like you can't Compromise that right now with so many players that are there when from Charlotte some of their young and up and coming guys Like they have to see that even when the chips are down everybody in that locker room is still giving everything

They have toward what this team tries to accomplish and that's building toward the future

β€œThat's why this team is probably going to be a Stanley Cup container for a long time”

So even at a down moment it was really kind of refreshing to hear Matthew to chuck to say those things But man it just feels like if there it really is an injury bug there must be a huge nest inside that locker room because it just won't leave Yeah, I mean Chuck is like the last moment he can see this point It's in now he's back to just hanging on valiantly, but you could really see in a quick way David They come back to you being a Stanley Cup champion next season, right?

It would be such an anomaly, but three-street Stanley Cup files back back champions You missed the place you hit harby injuries, but then healthy and rejuvenate You can still make a run next year. So this isn't like the end of a dynasty negal man Let's just save with the good times and mourn the the fact that this is over I'm like nope, this is just a hiccup and aberration

I don't feel flory gets back to be in the team that we all expect to be

I'm actually fasting about bark off if he comes back because Jason diverse it to me back in February my podcast partner He's gonna be back no matter what it's even if floor is out of it because even floor is out of it He wants to just prove you can do it. Yeah, as a player even if you could play six or seven games That's better than waiting six months and not coming back to September

β€œSo I'm really curious if bark off plays. I think he will I don't see why he wouldn't he's been working his ass off to come back”

I've six months now So regardless of the season being over I mean the guy has been putting in the work let him go out there and skate for ten games or seven games or whatever it might be This so we can do it 100% as a fan personally though I would don't want to risk it because it scares me personally to have a guy with an ace like if it's the playoff's obvious

Oh, what are you risking what they're not gonna get him back in unless he's 100% Yeah, that's that's that's totally fair Dave. Um, this isn't a training camp practice We don't have to worry about him tearing his ACL again. This is NHL hockey. Yeah. I just why I get what you're saying I just want to touch real quick on the I want to correct touch real quick on the idea of the Panthers and the tank and how

What could Chuck said and they're in such a different spot than any other team is when they're out of it at this point in the season Usually where like Adnan said they're a team that feels they could win the Stanley Cup next year

β€œThey could have won the Stanley Cup this year”

Had they not been bitten by this crazy entry bug when I've never seen the likes of before really

So it will be interesting to see they're gonna play their asses off the next couple weeks no matter what happens But they do want to end up in that top 10 spot because that could be a huge asset that could help them win the Stanley Cup next year One way or another Okay, it is time for Parklock

Kids it's presented as function by draft King's draft King's the crown is yours David. How are you making as many this time? I sure is hell Hope so Rose. I've got four picks for you today. There's only two games so I went with some alternate lines But I got us some value. We're gonna start with the trick the red wings are desperate for points As we've talked about so I'm gonna take their man Dylan Larkin to go over three and a half shots He's hit that number in five straight games including his first game back from injury on Tuesday and Ottawa where he ripped five shots on nine attempts

Detroit needs everything they get and Larkin will be the man to carry them also and Detroit We're gonna take Alex the brink hat for in any time point. He's got a point in seven straight games And 11 of us last 12 the cat is on fire So we're gonna loop those two in and then we're gonna go to the Rangers Blackhawks We're gonna take Mika Zibanna Chad to go over two and a half shots on goal

He's hit that in four straight and Chicago gives up the second most shots in the NHL Mika had three in the Rangers three nothing

Lost the Chicago in December and he's been shooting a lot lately and in that game We're also gonna take contra of a Dards alternate line at two and a half shots. He's hit that in five of six and eight of ten on the road And the Rangers allow a shit ton of shots as well Partly odds in this one plus six sixty seven. Go make yourself some money ahead of a fun weekend Beautiful. Oh, he give us a stop at the day

Hello guys Hi So the hockey set a week this week Vegas is really struggling on guys. What a weird year they're having out there

β€œIt looks like Mitch Marner and the Maple Leafs were really just kind of better off with with each other, huh?”

So this stat from puck empire For the first time in franchise history the Vegas Golden Knights will not finish with more wins than losses in an NHL season Obviously Vegas has had unprecedented success for an expansion team want to stay in the cup very very fast Went to the Stanley Cup final in their first year Weird year out there in Vegas. I don't know if it's aging

I don't know if it's an injury to Mark Stone what the deal is out there, but they've just never gotten off the ground

And a thing they don't do add in they don't beat good teams. It's really really weird. What do you think the odds were before this season? I'm sorry I didn't That's even Sam coast would finish with twice as many goals as Mitch Marner. That's crazy That's a crazy step. That's a crazy step. That's a crazy step. I'm not going to mess with Sam Jackson It's in a pulp fiction, but I think when I look at Vegas, there's talk to Shane 90 where we're calling some primary

Obviously does a lot of the biggest games. They always are behind. Then they have a crazy push to at least get in over time And they lose and over time like it's been such a frustrating situation for Vegas. They're not very good They're clinging to a playoff spot, but I could wouldn't be shocked if they're falling out of the playoffs Feels like it. I'm wins a Pacific. That meant in Vegas trying to hold on that third spot. Maybe a while current, but yeah, shocking about they been Oh, beautiful now. We're going to I'm not going to be honest. I'm going to sleep at the wheel because too much rose now

I'm going to save you from that, but we're going to go to win some fills of the weeks and because sadness is our guests here And then I'm going to go first to you to your to your win. Okay, Brandon Montt or your favorite team rose to the crack And it was watching the game last time the highlights he scores a terrific goal in overtime I just thought it was a great hockey movie here this often times in basketball as far as I mean, no look pass I think that that is the no look shot there David. He's got two guys is potentially looking at including Shane Wright

Then just wires the podcast Andre Vasilevsky cracking at lost four straight g...

I think the last of his reaction critical win at the loss for straight against one of the best teams in the hockey and beating the lightens

That is my win of the week. Nice. I mean, my win of the week also gold. Oh, I guess that wasn't a goalie We're kind of riding on Vasilevsky, but my win of the week is a gold tender flames young gold. We definitely spoke about gold Tenders showing a motion After giving up goals like why can't we get pissed off like what what's wrong with that? I loved what he had to say So let's play a real quick. I think goalies should be allowed to show a little bit of a motion like when they get scored on

You know, I don't really like the narrative that oh if they show a motion that means like they're down and now on

β€œThey're mentally soft or whatever like I think if you get scored on like you should be allowed to be pissed for like five ten seconds”

Like throw a tantrum on the ice. I do it all the time practice. I scream and I yell I would love to do that in a game without people like judging being like all he's mentally soft You know, because you instead of internalizing it you get it all out and then like ten seconds later Then you can smile about it and have a good time about it I love it. I love what he had to say there. I thought that was great

I think that he's right, too. Like the idea that a goalie can show a motion like I I used to kind of have that mindset Where I'd be out there and I didn't want to like get pissed off and slam I stick against the post. I didn't what my teammates to be worried that I wasn't focused back there But I think that was almost the detriment on my teammates that why can't they be mentally strong? Why can't I be mentally strong? So I'm with you. Devon, coolie. Let's roll

Okay, my win goes to the guy that I said it was gonna Win the color of the trophy. So if he wins it, I'm gonna take a winning lap. So it's it's this video here Where he is trying to dunk it right. I don't know what he's trying to do and what you went into the He's very good. Yeah, Matthew shit Matthew shit for you. Unbelievable player Matthew shit. That was a one-handed backhand

β€œWith his wrist turned down. That was nuts. Yeah, no, I'm telling you. I called it E. What's yours?”

My win of the week guys nobody is having more fun than Matthew could shock since the Olympics and he deserves it

You know, first of all he's playing really well like he's backing up all the talk that he had after the Olympics and

kind of you know all the celebration that he did. He's playing really well. He's got 10 goals and 25 points and 24 games But the other night before the wild and Panthers played Put we'll put this picture up here from the elbow room camera. There's Matthew Kachuk, Brock Faber, Quinn Hughes, Matt Bull, the Karilka Priusov and inexplicably Mark Cuban hanging out at the elbow room. I'm not really sure why I'm Mark Cuban was with this group But I just love this teammates at the Olympics still just embracing each other and enjoying life in the NHL and

Having a couple of beers with the guys before the you know you go out and play on the next night. So I thought it was really cool to see those guys hanging and Maybe doing a little recruiting for Quinn Hughes who's the fridge and in two years, but we can talk about that later Rose your fail are

β€œYeah, Rose your next for fails. We're going to fails because without fails the wins don't fail wins. So add then what's your fail?”

I was at the game Rosey on Monday senators against the Rangers it's the only hockey game that night and the Rangers were Absolutely atrocious. They managed at least the time we thought nine shots on goal which would have been a franchise low after the game They got another shot awarded them. Are you kidding me just a pity shot so ten shots on goal an Absolutely a trotious performance against the Ottawa senators on a night David and Ethan and Rosey Which mek is a banish egg. It's honored for playing it and it's one thousandth game which is already strange by the way normally you play the thousandth game

They are either the next night, but of course, it was a team of drafts of them. Okay, I'll have this Germany beforehand Clearly wasn't going to be going hard out there in game nine ninety eight game nine ninety nine Didn't want to get hurt with game one more one thousand on the horizon, but just a future performance by the Rangers love Madison Square Garden But that was an awful fail the week. I was watching that game too Adnan I couldn't believe the effort level for subanage at thousandth game. That was crazy to me like they just did not show up at all

They had like four shots half or through two periods. It was the same. Yeah, yeah, David My fail of the week. We're going to the age of another gold tender cal Peterson of the Iowa wild was kicked out of a game earlier this week For spearing the Chicago wolves don't know all Gunler now Peter since the fence you can see Gunler giving two or three good wax At a loose pocketing Peterson in the upper body before Gunler was shoved into Petersen from behind and then chaos ensued Still this is a big no-no, but I kind of get where he was coming from and I may have speared some

But he once or twice in my lifetime. So yeah, oh no even my fail the week goes to something we talked about on the big show earlier today This tweet from the Minnesota wild's play by play guy. I just did not understand it There were 18,000 people in the barn last night on a Thursday during Miami music week and we're still trying to do digs at the Florida Panthers attendance after They've won two Stanley Cups now. I just don't understand what we were going on here So this was a really lame moment for me taking a shot at the Panthers attendance rosy all you

Before I close my fail the week is this video where the puck didn't go in I don't understand how because he was in in the back

And he never got in so yeah, I don't play I don't play hockey, but that's my fall the week
