Kinds of stuff going on the playoff race but as always we check going with the boys first let’s go to that guy in his bed right now Paul Biz nasty bis are you alone right now Paul big hardest working man in Show Business I I am alone and uh
This is great I I love recording from the bed I think I’ve earned this one an incredible uh experience at the match last night but before I even get into it I think we should even push it to the back end the the hockey in the last week
And what’s going on in the NHL and with Chris celio’s Jersey retirement night which I would probably put as one of the greatest days of hockey that I can remember um it’s been just an unbelievable season so far in the NHL so I’m ready to hop right into it because
The NHL is thriving uh I think we can officially say Whit that the dog days of the NHL are over things are ramping up right now the playoff race is intense and I cannot wait to see who ends up cracking it as far as the playoff rosters and and the playoff alignment
And the NHL is on an absolute [ __ ] heater right now so I’ll throw it back over to you unless you guys want to hear about the match now but I figured we could even push that to the back end yeah yeah whatever you want to do Budd
It’s you call it was I mean it was a great experience like I I’m basically in DJ College’s cult at this point so like I said we’ll get into it later yeah we’ll get into that another one so he has I say he has another one called now
Next up the wit dog Ryan Whit he looks like he’s getting ready for some sort of game show behind you what’s going on buddy how’s the trip going oh it’s phenomenal out of here today right after we record back home back to Massachusetts but ask media um I believe
Bon Beach Florida granelli great job buddy just excellent producing I had nowhere to record the hotel um opal Grand in in in Del Rey though one of the top hotels I’ve ever stayed at talk about an unreal place two different pools they got it all one pool has an
Amazing bar three TVs that’s where I watch lightning devils that’s where I watch Penguins Flyers you know one of those days if you’re sitting at a pool bar watching BigTime hockey Sydney Crosby lighting up five points Sydney Crosby has made the city of Philadelphia his [ __ ] for 20 years now I asked him
About it on the broadcast yeah how to make a city your [ __ ] Sid but um it’s been a great trip and I’ve pretty much mastered so Ryder 6 his cousin Cooper seven and then Wyatt’s three and you always get the little guy chased around so those kids I have m
As a dad and I learned from my dad just creating competition within boys throughout the day at the beach in the pool I’m talking about jump in the pool first to catch five footballs uh little soccer games one-on-one just nonstop competition how many times can you guys
Hit up a beach ball without it dropping and hitting the water and we’ve killed hours and hours I’m talking we we did a six-h hour pool day you know I I reapplied sunscreen to Ryder Whitney 10 times because I’m not letting him get a sunburn no why it Tans why it’s like my
Wife he’s dark skinned he’s hooodie Rider’s me pale and not gross but pale and so I’m out there playing games and I just feel like I’m a top-notch dad after this trip but I’m ready to go home you know when you get vacation out it’s one
Of those things it’s like I don’t want to leave but I do want to leave so in the end I’ve got to watch great hockey the entire time and as I watch these games and these scores and bis brings up the dog days and oh my God is January
15th to February 15th the NHL is kind of like uh but all of a sudden February 15th comes and we’ve had this lead League explode we got the biz with the idea of the century with the rire State Building shirts I don’t know if those on sale yet the rire Strikes
Back Matthew Rey might have brought the NHL season back to life he he took he he took the dog days and he bent them over just the way Crosby does to the Flyers 130 points for Sid by the way against the philad Flyers throughout his
Career uh that is the most all time from any player by the way Flyers fans I don’t know I I asked him like I said a TNT we had him right after the game I said flyes fans were not so nice to you when you came in the league what would
They refer to him as Cindy Crosby that what they called him yeah oh yeah he’s [ __ ] pulling your hair from behind right now you’re the [ __ ] you’re [ __ ] Cindy Cy Crawford crossby crushing the center ice shot in Chicago and Biz you said it we’ll get into it that over no
I’ll just save it go go to G I’m sorry yeah g what’s going on buddy how was uh North Dakota Bud North Dakota was awesome I mean Grand Forks is a uh a different place but the Ralph is is the Holy Grail of hockey I mean most people
Who know college hockey know that but it was a really cool experience I mean just from like the insane recovery room to to seeing the fan showing up at 8:00 a.m. Zer degree weather putting up tents outside the Ralph it was so cool I got in the mix with them it was actually
Hilarious so right when we showed up I I walked right into this tent we had cameras going right away and I’m like let’s go and they all just start chanting [ __ ] Pasha [ __ ] Pasha and I’m like where did we’re in Grand Forks North Dakota like how did the how did a
[ __ ] Pasha chant just start in this tent right now you know how it started he’s down as bad as any person in right now God I feel bad for him this guy and it’s a when he doesn’t get to talk he’s PA suspension but this guy can’t catch a
Win to save his life but GE they ended up waxing theth right oh yeah it was like five nothing awesome game insane environment in there the floors can confirm same marble as the Vatican we talked about it last week really but it’s pretty cool though so the school is
Actually like one of the biggest Aviation schools in the entire country so we did a tour with Lou jamnick the fifth pretty sick and uh he’s a commercial Aviation major he wants to become a pilot so we have some insane footage coming out when this uh whole
Video comes out but thanks to coach Barry the school Louie we did a collab with the Sue shop it sold out in 10 minutes so shout out to the Sue shop shout out North Dakota and uh just an overall awesome trip the video is going
To be insane it it reminds me of like going to yaroslav Russia where like maybe the city is not the nicest but the rink is just Immaculate it’s like talk you what I compared it to I compared it to Tuscaloosa Alabama I feel like they are the Alabama crimon Tide of college
Hockey where like this little city that like is kind of shitty just revolves around this hockey team and like it it’s unlike anything I’ve seen when they play on Friday Saturday it’s like the whole city basically shuts down why why were they camping out at 8 AM are these
Students trying to get tickets that they can’t have access to no it’s pretty cool it’s actually so it’s GA the all student section is GA so it’s general admission so everyone waits in line and it’s a mad dash at right at 6:00 they open the doors and everyone it’s like when they
Open the doors at the Dallas Cowboys Steve and everyone Sprints in even though that’s not GA so it doesn’t make much sense it’s GA so they all Sprint in but they also can’t well they can’t Sprint so everyone has to speed walk race against each other yeah it’s pretty wild it’s it’s a
Wild experience we captured the whole thing fish did an amazing job video and everything but it’s going to be an awesome video I love it I didn’t know that about the aviation uh stuff all dig cuz I there’s like a lack of Pilots these days cuz most Pilots usually come
From the military that’s where they typically get trained but they hav’t getting as many as they used to Pilots astronauts everyone goes to North Dakota there’s a lot of astronauts coming from North Dakota oh yeah they got like an astronaut school there it’s [ __ ] nuts [ __ ] juper except thought astronauts
Were like Geniuses me too it’s a closest thing to living on Mars that’s why they [ __ ] that’s why they’re doing it there it’s pink Whitney Time new Amsterdam’s Zone flavored vodka the number one flavored vodka in the United States of America the fact it has my
Name on it and I can say that sentence is mind-numbing to say the least but that’s how good this drink is I’m down in Florida and I’m in that warm February weather and it’s just been all over the place I even saw some kid going into a
Liquor store and get caught trying to steal pink Whitney that’s not classy that’s trashy I understand the passion and the love in this kid wanting to get these 10 nips to enjoy with his buddies and watch the Super Bowl but pay for the pink Whitney for Christ’s sake these are
Small business owners don’t steal the pink Whitney I know you want it I know you love it but pay for it it’s not too expensive it’s very affordable and it’s tasty as all hell and I’m saying right now you can go to the bar you can get a
Shot you can go to the liquor store get the monster bottle I went to a local liquor store in pineapple Grove in area Del re and I always go in and ask the people up front how’s the pink Whitney cell the woman said unbelievable it’s a
Little bit of the younger crowd 21 to 25 year olds I said that’s fine by me that’s fine by me because I know these younger kids all you guys like maybe a little bit of sugar but if you like doing shots and that’s how you catch
Your buzz and that’s how you get your confidence to go talk to that lucky lady or lucky guy why have a why have a liquor with a horrible aftertaste you get pink Whitney it goes down smooth it goes down easy and new Amsterdam’s the reason that it happened along with
Myself and Paul bassinet and my wife so shout out pink Whitney Shout Out New Amsterdam and Shout out the big 1.75 bottle because that’s the one that’ll last you a while and you can enjoy it all week long well there ain’t no no Geniuses here we talked about chel in the intro
We’re going to dive right into that congrats to Chris chellos say number seven was finally retired by Chicago Sunday night before the Blackhawks Red Wings game game that was unbelievable by the way Patrick Kane overtime you could have wrote written a better story book end than that but chellos man nine
Seasons in Chicago I know the old man uh Rocky wordss had promised them to retire his number someday they finally did the ninth Blackhawk to have his number retired but the stop power Biz I’ve never seen many [ __ ] stars at one number retirement Dennis Rodman Eddie
Veta John Mao Jeremy Rona Gary suda Tony Monty Brian n and a bunch of other teammates but the alltime guest was Cindy Crawford what’s up J Biz wait I’m sorry you didn’t say Gretzky oh I got to Cindy Crawford first because I had to get to that shot dude
We gotta go hashtag Whit missed that was an unbelievable shot she was in Hils nailed that thing from the gut they they like Pal’s Biz you know they go like way back is she a Chicago gal do you know Cy Crawford well so I I think that he
Described it as the Malibu mob so he started going out to California to train and that’s kind of where he started meeting all these celebrities and correct me if I’m wrong is it Peter Berg the the movie director yep so that’s who she she’s married to right no she’s
Married to Randy Gerber the night Randy Gerber is is is is he a producer what does he do he does not he’s like a nightclub uh owner like he’s been running clubs for for like 30 years okay and I think that he was he had his hand
In the KAS am igos as well right so he was one of the original guys so it’s just like I said it they met all when he trained out in Malibu and he’s been hanging there actually chel still has his place there uh but like you said ra
Just a star cided event and it was really cool because he wanted all his former teammates all the ones that were closest to him on the ice with him as he was doing this the ceremony and I just thought it was so fitting how he was
Able to kind of pay homage to the past and obviously the Blackhawks organization in which like you know I wasn’t really around during that time I didn’t realize when he’ went from Chicago to Detroit how ugly it had gotten I mean this is a guy who was from
There he was getting booed in his own Hometown all to the point where that he had to close down his his bar they he he went back he went back as a Detroit Redwing and they had he still had his bar in Chicago and they were like booing
Booing him in his old man walking by because he wanted to bring his new Detroit team there so he ended up like closing shop there so it it ended ugly so to for him to come back and have that type of ceremony in Chicago I’m sure it
Meant so much to him and his family and you know now even his his daughter is working for the team in in media all all four kids were there and able to attend but the way that he rolled out with his mom in that classic car um the speech
And I mean like we keep talking and joking around about how the NHL script it I mean the fact that Patty Kane was playing for the Red Wings and they ended up aligning it to that game and he got to also pay homage to and we we’ve been
Debating it on here and I’ve made a few comments saying that Patrick Kane probably as it stands is the greatest American Born player player of all time while cellio kind of put his official stamp on that so I guess it’s really hard to argue it and then for the way
That the game ended up playing out and for Patty Kane to get the OT winner and [ __ ] yelling to the crowd showtime baby Showtime I would say easily goes down on one of the greatest nights in hockey and uh just an incredible Jersey retirement for her guy who played 27
Years pro guys most games combin playoffs and regular season as a defenseman or at least American Born player so uh it was fitting and uh no one else is more deserving than him and nobody else gets the boys together more than chellos does and uh just a a
Ultimate fomo uh calling that from the desk and wanting to be in Chicago for the festivities I I can’t I can’t imagine how drunk that weekend was I mean Chelly this is a guy he burns it at both ends better than anyone’s burned it at both ends before the lat guy to stay
Out and the first guy at the rink I was reading a story that in 98 they had a day game with Chicago hopped on a plane out to California watched the Packers in the Super Bowl took the red eyee back and went right to practice and they bag
Skated him and he crushed everyone in all the skates it didn’t matter guys are passing out in saunas he’s doing push-ups and riding the exercise bike he’s an animal I guess every day he goes he goes Russian B he rides the bike he does 300 push-ups 500 squats takes a
Cold tub and then goes to the bar who the hell can do that imagine ra trying to do that he’d be dead so I don’t know I just I look at celio’s career and I we we my uh group chat at home somebody said like why why is it just being
Retired and I think it goes into what you said Biz it was it was an ugly breakup it was an ugly divorce and that was in the days of the Red Wings Blackhawks amazing vicious rivalry that was years and years and years in the making and then all of a sudden when
When the Red Wings uh were able to move to the Eastern Conference it kind of just it it ended it a little bit and obviously the teams having um lacking success in in recent history it’s just there really isn’t a rivalry anymore which kind of sucks but new ones are
Created and new ones will will will end up being around for all those teams but I mean you look at Patrick Kane being a Detroit Redwing and scoring a goal to beat the Blackhawks and the Ovation he got I mean I know it’s recency biased but I think with everything that
Happened that entire day it was like the game of the year in the NHL and it was something that you like you couldn’t script you you and talk about an ovation one of the coolest I’ve ever seen first inter first timeout in the first period first TV timeout they gave Patrick
Kane’s video it was great it started off with like all these different fans with a sign thank you Kaner kind of walking towards the the the camera and they they cut it in awesome ways and all his highlights and quotes about him and Blackhawks legendss talking about him
And you see all these names and guys and they’re all like greatest American of all time one of the best Hawks of all time maybe the is he the best Hawk of all time I mean I’m sure Bobby holder’s an argument and all these but three cups
All those points and to do it as the first overall pick and then of all things he gets a breakaway in overtime slows it down little stick handle and shelf and let me tell you right now who who got in his way Walman Wallman made the right decision I think he went to
Hug him he’s like no no no no no give him his space get the [ __ ] out of my way showtime baby it was just amazing that it actually ended like that and it was so sick and by the way Kane’s got 28 points in 27 games so for anyone out
There questioning how that hip surgery went and how injured he actually was the past few years this guy’s back Detroit’s rolling what a game what a day and I just I just thought it was incredible and what’s cool is when when Chelios was the one who said and the greatest
American player of all time Patrick Kane you see the first guy in the celebrity box to stand up was Gretzky if Gretzky’s leading the standing ovation you know you’ve reached legendary status so I’m sure it was super emotional for Kane too that that little video tribute he skated
Around once he went back he skated around again and they were getting louder and louder and I guess dubret gave him another tap he goes go for one more you don’t really see that I mean it was like three minutes just him skating around but if anyone in the NHL deserves
It right now it’s it’s it’s it’s him returning back to a place that he dominated and and made his name and became a Hall of Fame Legend So an an amazing day and I think celio’s finally getting the number retired is is the perfect kind of sendoff for him as he’s
Now an ambassador with the Blackhawks and it’s like especially as of late um it’s you know it hasn’t been the most Pleasant of days in Chicago not only just like the the losing but with all the other [ __ ] that had gone on so uh for them to be able to kind of get
The band back together not just Patrick Kane but CBR was there hosu was there um uh dun Duncan Keith sharp uh no Jonathan Taves unfortunately I didn’t did you guys see him no way he wasn’t there but to to to be able to kind of kind of go through that group of guys
And what they did for that little Dynasty as well to have to be there for Patrick Kane just as much as they were for cellos uh just a huge night for the Blackhawks organization I think that uh big cat actually brought his kid and that was his first ever NHL game was
Getting to experience that so the expectations are high for Conor badar to keep performing if he wants to have exciting games at the United Center and speaking of Conor Bard awesome seeing that hit he through on Kane Kane had the hilarious quote after he said if he
Didn’t have that bubble on I was going after him but he kind of rocked him a little bit right against the wall and then they asked Kane about Bard and and kind of like coming into the league and I thought it was cool he said I just I
I’m very impressed by his game his creativity his shots obviously out of this world but I appreciate apprciate being that Phenom and that first overall pick because I know how much work goes into it and he actually he he he he goes into saying like you know a lot of
People think it’s god-given which there is for sure some amount of kind of God just tapping you on the shoulder but it’s so much work and drive and passion that I had that I know that he’s had to get where he’s at that he even mentioned Sharpie used to chirp I’m like you’re
The Silver Spoon first overall and Kan said to him you should have worked harder when you were a kid and and so I think like Bard’s very similar to Kan they’re obsessed with the game we’ve talked about Crosby there there’s one focus in their lives and it’s become
Evident that that Bard’s going to be pretty special right but him throwing that hit and him getting involved actually a pretty funny clip I saw on the bench of Bard and Felino and Felino was kind of ask him to maybe pull up and as they enter the offensive zone he’s
Like you’re you’re too slow and and he meant like you were too slow in the play and then it goes over Fino’s like did you just say I was too slow he’s like no no I meant them to play Fino goes you’re annoying me right now and they
So it’s just um it was it was an awesome time and I know it’s it’s been rough in Chicago but that day that building I I read something it said it was as loud as it was in the 90s and the early 2010s and those dynasties that the the the
Hawks had with with Kane and Keith and HOSA and seab Brook and they I’m pretty sure they got three did they lose in the Western Conference Final to LA on the other two La one yeah had game seven didn’t go game seven yeah they could have got five I mean they
Could at least got four say they win one of those and don’t forget the Coyote’s knocking them out the one year oh oh yeah that’s true yeah the legendary Coyotes roster you talk about the tap that uh you know these legendary players get on the shoulder maybe from God the
The god-given talent kind of the same thing that Cindy Crawford got with the looks and then the fact that she still has the looks and and then she can go to Center ice and nail that shot with high heels on that cute little celebration she did
After too like she has still got it can we talk about maybe the most shocking news of the day is Bob bner saying he didn’t know who Cindy Crawford was yeah assistant coach of the Red Wings I think newsy lon’s like what the [ __ ] wrong with you buddy Sydney Crawford I times
I’ cranked it off to her I’m pretty sure that for like I remember being like seeing Sydney Crawford and like something’s T tingling and I’m 10 I’m like what what is happening right now like she’s just a straight up rocket launcher and I I I think her husband’s
Pretty goddamn handsome himself so I mean some people really do have it all Biz you know you get be in bed doing a podcast and Cindy Crawford’s burying Cent shots and leather pants here we go bless up she still looks fantastic yeah yeah newsy said I noticed Cindy Crawford
Bob Booga said who’s that she’s really pretty L’s like oh boy you can really pick him out he’s like yeah I got a good eye who who is that though I got a good eye like how’s he I mean he’s not like that young he’s not a [ __ ] Millennial
He know C by the way this is something they used to do every game was pick Rockets out of the crowd in Chicago Cho until all of a sudden the era of you can’t even have ice girls anymore happened and then now they really don’t pick any Rockets I think though with
Everything that’s even happening in today’s world and how everything’s kind of Shifting back the other way I think they should not only get back to picking Rockets to shoot at Center ice but rampe has almost revived the the heavyweight title belt back in the NHL it feels like
This young jam and this kid coming in now is maybe even pissing off some of the other guys around the league saying who the [ __ ] is this young punk but hey were they scrapping like this before was there this much talk around fighting what two months ago no there wasn’t and
For you [ __ ] young kids coming up all you vanilla lattes you want to play third fourth line and think you could skill it up take a [ __ ] page out of Matt R’s book because if this kid wants he’ll be making about a million bucks maybe 1.5 till he’s blew in the face to
Maybe who knows maybe he starts the developing his skills a little bit more and next thing you know he’s going to be making 3 million on the next contract cuz he [ __ ] grabbed his [ __ ] nut sack and he got to the league and he doesn’t care and he’ll challenge anyone
Ready to [ __ ] go that’s what we need to see more of more of in the National Hockey League so I think an aspect of this is that it’s the Rangers right and it all began at the stadium series sorry I just dropped my phone stay hot but the
Stadium Series and and you know what I I messed up last week when we were talking about this and going over his special first game and his fight I didn’t give ma Martin credit I didn’t know that Martin went up to him and like hey buddy
I’ll give I’ll give you one here like that’s awesome and all the comments in our Instagram posts were like even from Rangers fans Matt Martin classy one of the classiest guys in the league that’s awesome he knew he knew the kid wanted one he gave it to him in front of 75,000
Well as B said what do you think happened delore is like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa the Rangers are coming into town I want to piece this and you saw him standing over him at Center ice and and Ry said okay buddy and then they go to Columbus and Olivier whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa and now they’re going to Toronto so it’s amazing as this is I will say the kids’s probably like oh [ __ ] like he loves it you can obviously open up a can of worms yeah oh what what what has happened here and I think part
Of it is being on the Rangers and how the first fight was such a big story it’s like it’s a little different than if he was on the blue jacket say right it’s like the Rangers come into town everywhere they go and what a team right
Now holy four real and shurin oh my God this guy including his like bad game in The Stadium Series he’s still in February like the best go in the league by seven miles so but the Rangers come to town and they bring fans to every building they’re at and then these kids
They just want a peace and I don’t blame him but the fact that he’s brought this back and now I’m just saying for the kid and and it you got to be a little careful against against Olivier who’s a tough [ __ ] he I don’t know if his defense is great Biz which respect
He’s chucking boms but he’s kind of like he might have to figure a little bit of the defense out if he’s going to go every night so from my understanding Martin said that he had just as long a reach as Chara and that’s how hard it
Was to get through to him so it felt like he maybe handled the distance and how he was able to hold Martin out maybe better than the next two but I respect the fact that he’s willing to stand in there in exchange in order to try to get
His shots in and willing to take a few of his own that’s kind of old school and that’s why I think that people reacted and have been reacting the way that they have been online and also I think if that you’re another guy coming up and
Maybe you’re you’re kind of on the fence and whether you want to Chuck him or not look at the response this guy’s gotten he’s a household name in New York City right now and he’s played five [ __ ] games in the National Hockey League right and maybe if he doesn’t do that
He’s back eating soggy Subs on the B bus and Hartford with the wolf pack so I just I I think that more guys should take this type of approach and make a name for themselves especially if you’re going to play limited minutes on the fourth line this is what teams want they
Want these young guys to come in and and instill energy in their lineup they want to at least if you’re just going to be dumping the puck in anyway you might as well be running guys through the glass and then and then chucking bombs and and
Trying to intimidate the other team so I don’t have a problem with the way that he exchanges I mean you obviously like he did against Olivier get caught and if you’re doing that every other game if not once every three games it can you know become a bit much on the Noggin it
May not last is what I’m saying right well I was doing that type of stuff in the America I was a little bit more technical about it because I knew who I was going up against all these heavyweights and that if they did connect it it could do a lot of damage
Where you’re going to spend a lot of time on a lineup with a cocky um I think that if they’re wise they maybe try to get some old school fighter in there to maybe help him out with his technique a little bit that way that I mean it’s
It’s an advantage right he’s got that reach you might might as well use it so I don’t know who they’re going to be able to get in there where they can help him with his the grappling aspect like I played with a guy uh Dennis bomi you
Know he wasn’t the biggest guy but what he really M I mean do you ever see his hands though his I mean I don’t think one of his fingers points the right way he basically looks like Michael Jordan where the you know if you’re look at Michael Jordan’s hand where his like
Pinkies heading sideways his his fingers are going East and West rather than North and South but it was from all that grappling so you know if the guy ended up changing where he was going to come at him with a Right Punch he was able to
Tie him up and then get open so he could end up throwing the other way so that’s kind of where a lot of those old school guys were good at that and I think that if he’s able to get somebody in there who can teach him the ways then he can
Be an Ultimate Force and and a complete wck and ball in the NHL because there ain’t too many guys that are six7 who are willing to Chuck him like he like he is so it’s uh a testament to him and like I said before you start by the
Fighting and let’s say in your first couple years you’re doing it 20 25 times a year you can maybe come in like Tom Wilson I would say the skill level on to Tom Wilson high level is better what what Ray is but the more you do that the
More time and space you’re going to get out there because especially with these new guys in League they’re not going to want to come near you especially in the net front so as you keep doing that you’re going to gain that respect and as the the skills come next thing you know
You’re getting 10 goals 10 assists and and 20 fights well then you just bought yourself a few more years in the league and next thing you know maybe you’re you’re you’re Tom Wilson where you’re you’re you’re putting up 25 and 25 and then you’re signing a deal because
You’re this this power forward where they’re far and few between where you’re getting a Payday of 7 million bucks a year so the sky is the limit in in in in my mind with the fact that he he can he’s is mobile is for 67 he’s willing to
Fight and he’s willing to get that time and space for himself moving forward so it’s great to see it’s great for the league and uh he shouldn’t be buying any beers for himself in the city of New York so in that phenomenal rant and hell
Of a job Biz mentioned at one point um running guys through the BL the glass so that’ll bring us to his hit against Bastion in New Jersey so Devil’s fans are all over me I I retweeted the hit I said how do you get kicked out of the game for this out a
Lot of people come back with the rule book and screenshots and hitting to the Head okay he’s 67 and bastion’s bent over with his head down for three seconds I don’t really understand what you’re supposed to do there was no elbow his arm was tucked in and I guess like
The old the the saying now of avoidable hit like I tell me Biz is avoidable hit like don’t hit him if it’s an avoidable hit does that mean do not hit him and and I understand you can’t get the head but if a guy’s bent over I feel like
That rule should change at least in that instance not to mention that he’s 67 so it’s like I’m paid to hit people I’m paid to finish my check and run guys over it was I mean it was a great hit I mean look at what happened to the guy
But I guess hitting him in the head you get booted I just with the height of him and the other player being bent over I don’t really understand and the avoidable hit thing it’s not like he that was something that was created online with during that that that that time and even
The people barking online even on the people barking online on this one saying look how far he skated to get to him it’s like the player is in play he’s making a play up ice he has the puck on his stick and then rempe skates towards
Him and when when basan ends up turning around rempe stops moving his feet he plants them into the ice he doesn’t jump he doesn’t leap he’s got his knees bent he’s got his elbow down and yes the first thing he makes contact with is his head where the [ __ ] else do you think
He’s going to hit him with the angle in which that bastion’s skating up ice and the way that you have to position your knee flexion along with your torso flexion yes of course your head is going to be the first thing that it ends up hitting so I don’t want to [ __ ] hear
This onus on the guy skating to a player in play to make a [ __ ] hit I’m I’m I I’ve had enough with it it’s it’s all the online idiots who have never played who are just going to keep barking and barking and barking every time they see
A big hit this one should have been on basion now talking about cocktails and the fact that he shouldn’t be paying for one if you’re a devil’s fan maybe buy him one too he had a rough game true trou he takes that hit from Ree and then
Trouba train comes in like no less than what 10 minutes in gameplay later and then they have the shot of of Bastion inside the Penalty Box he’s got the bloody nose he’s looking at the score clock being like can we just [ __ ] end the season already this is brutal
There’s also a picture trouba laughing after he runs him over he’s like it’s just oh my God the Rangers are dummying the devils in every sense of the word but yeah I I’m fine if you want to give him a boarding call okay give him a boarding call but to kick him out
Of the game I just don’t get it and if he if the puck wasn’t there if it’s one of those all right 1 1000 two 1000 all right yeah we can talk about a five in a game but having the puck bent over with your head down and getting truck stick
By somebody who’s 67 like there is no longer any people out there who say oh the head the guy probably should pick his head up the guy should probably know who’s on the ice no they just go after the hitter if you’re if you’re a guy in
The league and you’re of rempe status where physical play is is part of your bag don’t [ __ ] listen to them don’t have any second thoughts about what you’re doing because if you go in there and you go for that poke check and Bastion gives it that pretty little tow
Dragon goes back the other way and scoring you know where you’re at you’re back in Hartford eating the [ __ ] so soggy Subs again put that guy threw the [ __ ] glass and you know what if you end up getting a game or two who cares you made the name for yourself Drury
Knows what the [ __ ] going on along with the coaching staff and everybody else you’ll be right back in the lineup and Christ I wouldn’t even be surprised if Dolan pays the fine cuz New York hockey is back baby and I know I’ve been the biggest hater of them but this is a
[ __ ] heater and this is the spice they needed in the lineup look out folks look out and they had the chance to set a franchise record for I believe wins in a row in Columbus and Columbus ended up getting him but I do um I want to shout
Out lrer because uh in an age when we’ve talked a million times about the expectations of first overall picks and you have to come in and dominate but not everyone’s McDavid not everyone’s Bard not everyone’s Kane and this kid just keeps getting better and better and
Better and better and all of a sudden like you’re noticing wow you know he’s still very young 21 years old he’s getting his game he’s finding his game he’s he’s got some Swagger to him and okay it’s just taking him a little bit longer and he’s not a point per game
This season but I’m starting to see a a a version of a player who in another two to three years could be a legitimate 30 goal 80-point guy and that’s kind of in the end not what you’re dreaming of with a first overall pick but if they get to
Be that type of player you’re happy and you love it now kak that’s another story he stinks but LEF frener I love his game I love what he’s done and it’s just it’s a fun team to watch and and if if if shurin stays like this there’s no doubt
In my mind that the Rangers could win the Stanley Cup and what a story that would be I think uh also too I we we talk about uh some of these guys uh unsung heroes is it uh lingren is that how you pronounce his last name yeah
Ryan lingren I want Zan oaro was asked who was one of his favorite players in the league to watch and he said him he just said his dedication to the game and everything that he brings night in and night out his commitment to playing defense blocking shots and and just like
What he brings to the lineup he he mentioned his name and I I’ve said it before in the past like if you watch enough Rangers game you can’t have enough appreciation for this guy cuz he fly under the radar but yet he does it all and the amount of abuse he takes I
Think he ended up taking like a puck or a stick off the face put the full cage or bubble back on right back out there he’s a hyger he gets injured every game yeah like Warrior injuries like block a shots Bucks in the face he’s just always
In the mix yep he’s a he’s a mucker yeah unbelievable story six round pick comes up for an injury he’s like a folk arrow in New York now three fights his first five games first any Chell to record uh 20 7 plus penalty minutes and a game-winning goal within his first four
Career games and Saturday night Biz we might have a little heavyweight Revival versus Toronto we got to get Revo versus Ry you think I would not be surprised because I I it’s it’s hard for Revo to find people who who want to dance with him and I think that yeah I think that’s
Going to be a strong possibility and and with this young blood coming in I think it’s just completely revived the the heavyweight title B belt now does do the Rangers play Montreal at all to finish off the year because I think there’s no doubt in my mind WiFi is licking his
Chops at this right now WiFi Lo loves the accolades of being that young upand Comer guy but rempe is kind of stolen the headlines now April 7th they play they April 7 and not to say in a bad way but there’s some ego involved here and
It’s it’s a it’s a good ego can be a good thing right it’s it makes guys want to thrive to be the best I have to imagine that these guys end up going toe to- toe and is it at the Bell center or
Is it in New York MSG oh my god get your tickets now folks uh Saturday night when they play Holyfield and Tyson the only the only way that he doesn’t fight Reeves is if lavet says don’t fight Reeves right if he’s like hey just and then I will fight
Laviolet to make up for the lack of fighting if that happens I will storm I will storm MSG if that happens yeah no actually that’s night game it’s in at Toronto Biz actually uh Rangers are at Toronto so [ __ ] I’ll go to back to T let’s go
There Maya kulpa yeah Whit right now on the bad Pasha side of the Toronto Maple Leafs wow when you end up losing your top defenseman and the team’s been in the skids and everything’s looking gloomy and doomy and you’re talking about possibly selling off parts and
It’s not the year and the team goes on to go on a heater like the Toronto Maple Leafs right now sometimes you got to tip your cap and sometimes you got to tip your cap to your producer I mean your podcast partner and Paul Binet I think
Berus he’s I think he’s finding his Groove I think it’s taken him a long time but to get that hattrick and for them to walk into Vegas and Colorado and win both those games including a berzi hatrick I mean buddy after the game before in which DOI had two goals so
They’re all kind of fine in their groove Austin Matthews is Austin Matthews Marner I believe he’s seven straight games with two or more points so as a guy who’s been hard on him he’s on a an amazing run right now the Leafs the Leafs are buzzing the Leafs I put out a
List actually um of the 10 teams I believe who can win the Stanley Cup and Toronto wasn’t on there and boy did the Toronto Maple Lea fans come at me now granted these are all the same people who two weeks prior were saying trade everyone and this team sucks but maybe
The Leafs are for real maybe the Leafs go out and make that move maybe tanv ends up there maybe they end up adding something to the deadline but when you’re going like this and berzi gets going and DOI gets going and all of a sudden everything’s firing and Riley’s
Back man they’ve shut a lot of people up oh my God to hear you say all that and for me not to have to come in and give him the the the major double wrer is for you not to have to come I might go back
And take a nap now out right now in in my in my fart sack here uh we I mean you pretty much touched on all of it um when when Riley got the five gamer I was a little bit nervous right but I’m saying you know what I feel like adversity is
Something that Toronto needs right now it can Galvanize the group and William neander I want to say even after that first game that they won that he was out of the lineup saying that you know what he did after that that uh empty Netter goal and him going over and giv him the
Cross check to the face it galvanized the group they were fired up in that locker room and yes are they a little bit thin on the back end but I think two a man every guy back there stepped up and you you lilen was the one guy that I
Thought really elevated his game in that five-game segment right they they ended up moving on from sandine and you’re wondering okay is that the little skilled defenseman they should have moved on from or should it have been Lil Gren and I will say in the second half
He’s been tremendous so for him to step it up with Morgan Riley being out of the lineup now I don’t know if you have the stat R but it’s kind of a crazy number of of their wins and losses when Morgan Riley is not in lineup so all of a
Sudden everybody’s trying to make a big deal about saying that they should keep him out even past the suspension I want to say without him in the lineup since he’s been a Tron May believe they’re 182 and three or something something crazy you might not have the number but even
That Core group of guys Johnny T was struggling earlier in this season he’s [ __ ] stepped up his game Austin Matthews I don’t think enough can be said about him um you might be a Leaf’s hater and not had him in the MVP race but he continues to put the in the back
Of the net now the fastest American Born player to reach 50 goals it took him what 52 games or 53 games 54th his 544 games excuse me to reach in Arizona by the way like that was the biggest lock of all time his hometown and then he
Added another one too like I mean where was I on that bet that that was probably as easy as a cash in as Vegas golden knights winning it in game five at home when they won [ __ ] ten cob or whatever the hell it was when they scored eight or nine goals but William
Neander continues to be excellent you mentioned Marner he’s been a dish magician them all of a sudden getting contributions from a guy McMahon where I don’t even think anybody in Toronto at the beginning of the year even know who the [ __ ] that was and MC Matthews it’s
Mick Matthews Mick Matthews excuse me um you said max doy as well he is playing that snarky mean [ __ ] game that he needs to be he needs to be playing and it that’s another guy where he’s been bumped up to the top lines when some guys haven’t been going and he’s been
Contributing offensively and like I said as well bringing that Phil physical element to his game so if they can keep all this going with getting Morgan Riley after getting a little bit of rest playing at the top of his game as well as finally Tyler puszi bringing some
Type of offensive element I seriously think this is a nightmare first round matchup I am praying praying that they end up playing the Boston Bruins in the first round because guys I think that they can take him down down I think they can exercise those demons of the past of blowing that
3-1 series lead just like when the Boston Red Sox finally beat the Yankees to go on to finally remove the curse of the the World Series I I feel something brewing in Leaf’s land all right I got a question for you buddy I can it you told
Me um in terms of the Bruins first round matchup there is in Quotes no fear of the Rangers or Toronto do you maybe want to address that or uh actually I believe I believe I was asking if I was afraid I just was a one word answer I said no um
Yeah I didn’t say I no fear at all no I mean okay all right no it’s the same thing I mean I know I’m just I said no I’m not I don’t Fe the Red Wings right now I think I mean Alex lion I we got to
Talk about him he’s basically the second year in a row he’s basically kept the franchise aoat with his play he’s been unbelievable for the red well let’s stick on the goal tender topic but wait you ended up sending a tweet out and I think you agree with me
It’s time that they try to move on from one goenda allmark or Swan to try to get a big asset back and return that could probably play on a a Topline role for the Boston Bruins do you think that it’s time I do um ra I’d like I’d like to get
Your opinion but quickly it’s like it is an amazing um what’s Lu luxury right the Bruins have two awesome go they got two number ones but you have very very few Pro prospects available and to make a splash and to make a deal and with the
Age of the Bruins and what they have going and last year’s disaster like you’re in it you’re in it to win it and it doesn’t make sense to have two awesome goalies yes it’s great but look at last year they had two awesome goalies and they still [ __ ] it up by
Not playing the right guys and switching up as they did throughout the regular season it seems a little bit like Swan’s almost taking over the role right now and he’s kind of the guy who’s playing a little bit more as opposed to just them going back and forth every game and and
Now it’s like all right we need help up front they need to do something I don’t know what the Lindholm injury is I don’t know if there’s been a prognosis G do you have any idea no I’m not too sure okay so nobody knows there so they could
Need dhel too but you have nothing to give to get what you need to add to this team to give your chance a win to Stanley Cup besides one of these goalies Swan’s younger and and and you can get a ton in return for lenus olark so I just
Look at it like we can’t go into the playoffs again with what we had last year minus berson and Cree and Hall and berzi and think that we’re going to be able to compete for the Stanley Cup we got to try to add something up front and
The only way they’re going to do it is allmark they also have a really good go tending Prospect in Providence I don’t even remember his name Brandon busy Brandon busy so it’s like I I I and Biz you said this long before and I didn’t
Agree with you but now it’s like I don’t know there’s something with the Bruins right now they give up the lead in the last minute of every game and then losing overtime it’s insanee it’s I I I never seen anything like it they can’t finish out a game and so it’s like all
Right well you got these goalies but you you need help scoring and you might need help on D if ly holm’s out so you got to make a move yeah it’s dangerous and all of a sudden yeah Swan is truly the guy but you got to believe in him at this
Point at least I do watching all these Bruins games and the the reason going back to last year I said that I thought that they were going to do it last year but they ended up being able to add all those guys like like berzi came in orlov
Came in did they pick anybody else of significance up last year but they didn’t have to move on from that tandem who who R sorry I got it haway haway I the the other two guys in my opinion are significant ads like you’re getting a top four defenseman and also a top six
Winger where that’s kind of what they needed to do in order to compete in the East and I thought that that was a Stanley Cup lineup they had last year with losing those two centerman in last year not having to move on from the goenda a little bit of offense and
Meanwhile you have swayan playing a net and then all marks on the bench you get to put one guy in net and you have such a valuable asset who’s got in allmark who’s got one year left on his deal next year he’s making 4 million bucks so he’s
An extremely cap friendly goalie that heing million bucks okay sorry sign signed a four-year deal deal times 5 million but nonetheless for a guy who won azna last year and a guy who’s still playing at the top of his game although he’s not the starter inette that is such
A small cap hit that it is extremely appealing to a few teams that are ready to head into playoffs who don’t really have a number one guy that they can trust even a few other teams like like I would say that cam Talbot’s probably going to be a starter but you’re telling
Me that La is not going to need to go out and get some goalie help or or somebody to to be a good backup and I bet you the list goes on to three four more teams who are probably still trying to address that situation so for
Me we we both know that the the the center position is something that they need to add to I don’t know who they can go out and even get but allmark is such a big piece that if you’re left keeping him on the bench and you lose in the
First round and a you talked about it with the age of this team I just think that if you’re a Bruins fan you’re saying [ __ ] what are we waiting for here we’re being too conservative well especially because you have to pay San this off season I mean he’s an RFA
At the end of the season so you have to pay him so you can’t head into next season he’s going to command at least six million so you can’t head into next season with what 11 million paying your goalies that just doesn’t make sense that’s my thing all Mark’s getting dealt
This summer so deal them before the deadline right like if if you there there’s no chance he’s going to be on the team starting next year unless they somehow traded San so like do it now and yeah it sucks because it’s amazing knowing you got two guys and if one
Guy’s struggling you got all Mark or it but in the end like you need help in other positions and you need to try to go for it this year because there’s probably some dark days heading towards the Boston Bruins whether it’s in uh three years or five years at some point
This like 20-year run of being like competitive and having a chance to win is going to end and why not try to get more out of what you have now sacrificing an ass said well you still have a great goalie once you move on from omark so we’ll see how that goes
And you know obviously they’re going to want a big return but the Bruins are just there’s something about the Bruins that they’re just missing um yeah I I mean you probably compare it to almost like the the playoff and run that the the the Red Wings were on maybe not like every year
But just the the sustained dominance for 20 years of you know being able to make playoffs most year always being at the top of the division and look at what happened to Detroit after it was all said and done they had five six years of Hell to where now they’re finally
Starting to turn the corner so you got to push the chips in quickly yeah after Wednesday night of this week where you got to be a part of the of the broadcast I mean can you imagine an Oilers Bruins Cup Final by the way oh my that was I
Mean we thought that Philly uh Pittsburgh 76 Sunday was fun I’m sure there weren’t a ton of East Coasters besides Bruins fans awake with that like 1015 start out in Edmonton one of the games of the year the Bruins go up 4-1 the Oilers come storming back poshak
Takes the lead Heyman ties it up and McAvoy with maybe the best OT winner of the season I mean makavo is just he’s one of the top dogs man you’re talking about starting your team if you could have a choice of any defenseman he’s in that top three top four what a player
And to have the skill to make that move and just an overall amazing game with two teams that have so much Firepower up up front and then they put it on a on on show on TNT for the US viewers to be able to see that that was an awesome
Matchup yeah to be especially as a d man like last guy back I know I know Kane slid but that tow drag move and the patience to go over to the backand um we actually in that broadcast we we broke down a demo um in the first game because
I think it was Dale who ended up sliding on a 2on one and then it got slid over and and then Puck ended up in the back of the net um or no no sorry it was actually uh it was it was a a Blackwell who ended up like basically tow dragging
Around up scored a beautiful goal when you were playing dwit were your d d coaches or even coaches anti-slide so I had um some coaches that were and some coaches that weren’t so I know we have uh many listeners who know a ton about hockey and have played
Hockey but if you’re somebody who who isn’t necessarily aware of how you’re supposed to play a two-on-one the the basic of it is this you’re coming the two forwards are coming down and you’re a defenseman your number one job is to not let the puck get through you so
You’re almost H at at a way of saying this is is is taking away the pass right you give the goalie the shooter and you make sure that there’s not going to be a pass through your feet through your triangle because the goalie has no chance right when it goes side to side
You’re donezo so a lot of defensemen are are are kind of taught all right we’ll kind of lean over towards that player without the puck maybe give a little stick checks and just try to to make sure that that puck doesn’t come through so there’s coaches who say listen you
Got to lay down you got to slide take away that option completely because there’s players out there there’s Crosby’s there’s McKinnon there’s marners who no matter what you do if you’re on your feet they’re F in a hole and they’re getting it to that back door
Guy and the goalie is dead but what happens is there’s the side of coaches that say do not leave your feet because those same players I mentioned those same Elite Playmakers once you leave your feet they’re hitting the breaks they’re throwing the beautiful tow drag on you and they’re sliding it over or
They’re scoring themselves I never liked going down but I wasn’t great at it my timing wasn’t good there’s defenseman who were so good at timing it right it’s all about when to slide it’s all about where your stick is as you slide because you’ll see guys slide and all of a
Sudden the player still gets it through that hole between your glove and the stick and right that little spot it’s the size of a puck and these guys still can find it I think it’s better off staying on your feet because worst case right when you’re down and out and the
Goalie does somehow make a miraculous save you’re not there to clear the rebound in the [ __ ] Corner you’re in the corner and you’re looking over as the two on 0’s in front of the net with no back Checker and you’re catching that minus so at least staying on your feet
If they get it through you or the guy takes the shot you’re there with a stick to whack away the rebound you’re there to take away a man and not give him a chance to score so I if I was coaching I’d say learn to stay on your feet the
Problem is with the level of talent in the NHL staying on your feet there’s some guys no matter what they’re finding it they’re finding that hole so it’s all about playing it positionally perfect and that’s really difficult so it I’d be interested to talk to different coaches
Who think stay on your feet and then ones who say get down and slide and take it away but it’s tough because they can make you look foolish either way I hate uh I don’t like when guys slide face first because in that situation you don’t really have the ability to stop at
All whereas if you go feet first Sometimes you can quickly use your upper body to pop up and hit on The Brak breaks so you don’t end up sliding all the way into the corner and you talked about how some guys are good when they slide with their stick I thought Dale in
That first game and the reason I brought it up is because a Vander Kane ended up com sliding through and that’s why makoy ended up making him look silly but Dale slid feet first and then he came around with his stick but Blackwell the way that when he tow dragged he actually
Ended up like he he ended up like sticking his ass out and led with his skates so his skates ended up blocking the stick from from hitting it off his stick when he was tow dragging it and I just thought it was a be beautifully executed play by the forward so I guess
It’s just like even when you’re sliding perfectly sometimes the skill on these forwards man they can find ways to put in the put the puck in the net as you said so definitely a debate amongst coaches I I I heard coaches going at it when I was playing whether they liked it
Or not so I guess it’s all preference but uh I don’t know what the the quote unquote analytics would tell you on B I’ll tell you I’ll tell you this if you slide and it works good job and if you slide and it doesn’t work what the [ __ ]
Are you do slide a seed here buddy that’s pretty much how it works out right between the D and the forwards there grab a SE hey you want to try tow dragging someone with the blue line if it works awesome play if it doesn’t sit down on the bench and shut your mouth

And get your us today enjoy some body AMA zero sugar like myself grab some fruit punch well Wednesday wasn’t the only day we had our superstars on TNT Sunday man we got to give coov some love unbelievable game he had versus uh New Jersey had a 4-1 win for Tampa
Solidified their playoff chances a bunch uh he factored in all the goals a goal and three assists the first play to hit 100 points this season uh he did it in 50 9 games his previous best was 62 games now is 102 points in 59 games
Right now COV and McDavid the only two players over the last 25 years uh to hit 100 points in fewer than 60 games uh Tampa Bay they’ve been on not really a run L but they’ve been kind of staying solid where they are the playoff spot 69
Points 60 games currently in the Wild Card uh two number two wild card spot rather but how about Frank the Tank we going to talk about Frank the Tank getting tossed out of that [ __ ] Jersey game if you’re not famili with Frank the Tank got cowork a BOS gets a
Little bit pass but I think he was politely asked to leave the game with did you check out that clip at all I saw the clip um so I I’d like to say that me and Frank are friends I love the guy every time we used to do the streams in
The gambling cave he always would come join us which I liked and he you know he’s got all these different factoids about all these different sports he’s a fun guy to hang out with having said all that I’ve long made it public he’s the worst fan in the world worst the worst
But I love it because I’m not a devil’s fan or a I love the toxic Behavior so I enjoy seeing him go nuts about the Mets and the Devils but if I was a Mets or a Devils fans I would hate his guts right because it’s all doom and gloom and it’s
All negativity until they finally win and then he’s like told you so so it’s kind of one of those things where I think Devil’s fans are kind of sick and tired and the one thing I’ll say is if you have season tickets and you’re sitting around Frank the Tank I mean you
Should you should invest in earplugs and hope to God that that that you you have a multiple lifetime supply of them and and because you got to deal with this guy screaming now what he’s screaming about has a valid point the expectations of the devils and yes they’ve battled
Injuries probably worse than any other team this year but nobody saw this coming this has been a disaster of Epic Proportions they suck and he’s all over Lindy Ruff as many other Devils fans are but I think when you’re screaming fire Lindy over and over and over finally
Some other Devil’s fan says please shut up and then the tank explodes and when the tank explodes there’s no putting the oil back in the tank it’s leaking everywhere and I believe he was asked to leave I think there was a video of a security guard and then you know tank
Immediately starts biting on his chew toy and boom the the tankers exploded so it’s one thing to kind of enjoy it as as we get to see it online but to sit next to it game after game it probably can be a little bit exhausting um well I was just going to
Say go going to the devils like the goal tending has just been ruining them I mean I don’t know if you you you you caught that game in some of the goals that went in the one where he ended up overs sliding and the one-handed goal by
Uh Hegel I mean come on that’s that’s a that puts the game without with you know Out Of Reach it ends up 3-1 at that point um but overall what like do you guys think a coaching change needs to happen this year like I think that that
Might if they’re not going to get a goalie I think their only hoping hell is maybe a coaching change it’s nothing against Lindy Ruff I really think that they’re missing Andrew brunett I’ve said that a couple times like with all the success he had in uh in Florida as an
Assistant and then having to take over after quinnville left I thought he was incredible the rest of the regular season uh people might put that playoff performance when they ended up getting bounced first round on him but I don’t think so and now he’s obviously going on
To have success with the the Nashville Predators I just think losing him as basically Lindy having a head coach there to lean on is just something that is being overlooked a lot and mention that without mentioning their power play is 9% makes makes the Penguins power
Play look like the 1989 Oilers two for their last 42 dude you have Hughes you have Heir you have brat you have Mercer you have TFI how is your power play two for 42 and I’m sure Andrew Bernett had a lot to do with the power play yeah um so
Since January 1st I believe the worst power play in the league it’s clicking at about 9% right now with all those guys that you just mentioned so uh given the the the lack of goal tending right now the offense drawing up from a power plays perspective and even if you’re
Watching their games I said this on the broadcast they were a team that dominated off the rush last year whether it was just gaining easy Zone a uh Zone a uh Zone access excuse me because their speed coming through was pushing defenseman off the line and they were
Being able to get these extended offenses own shifts Andor legitimately scoring off the rush one of the best teams in the league if not the best team last year at putting the puck in the net off of these rushes you’re not seeing that anymore so not only the power play
Not working uh one of your biggest offensive weapons from last year not clicking you’re just they don’t have a pot to piss in right now and it’s looking like they’re going to miss playoffs um we kind of glanced over cooch and what he’s doing uh I know we
Talked we talked about the the four points and the fact that he’s the first guy to reach 100 points um still once again looked effortless doing it I would probably put him and McKinnon right now neck and neck for the heart I know I’ve said M I’ve been beating the McKinnon
Drum beating the McKinnon drum but with no COV and now no sergachev in their lineup there’s no way that they’re in a playoff position so I know McKinnon has been the guy I’ve been leaning on but I would say that right now they have to be
Neck and neck and as a a a um Maple Leaf ball bag liquor I obviously would like to put Matthews as number one but Ace brought up a good point on the panel as well for probably the first 20 to 25 games most people would have probably
Had William neander as the tronto maple eafs MVP maybe even the first 40 games so to me it would be unfair to not put those two guys neck and neck and I almost think that the Vegas odds has them tied right now going into this final stretch of the Season who do you
Who do you guys have I have kucherov but I think and it I think there’s no way that if if it stays this even that uh he gets the votes over McKinnon and I think it’s a Russian thing and I think the All-Star Game in that performance will
Affect it I know that I don’t wow I don’t agree with it but I’m telling you if if the season ends and coov and McKinnon continue to play this well the entire way I think coov deserves it but I think Canadian bias will affect the voting I really do and and also okay
Quickly about kucherov he’s got 102 points in 59 games so as a fan you’re like oh man this got to be an 80-point guy on the team no oh there got to be a guy with 70 points nope there’s a guy with 62 points he’s got 40 goddamn points more than the next
Guy on his team and I don’t think non hockey players or fans understand how ridiculous that is like in these years of McDavid lighting it up like there’s Dr side to lighting it up right in the years of Crosby lighting it up there’s malcin right lighting it up in the years
Of McKinnon we got Ronin this guy is doing it by himself and and in that game against Jersey I I swear to God I watched the whole game sitting at the pool bar it was a beautiful day of rum runners with floaters it was just one thankful for being alive I think he
Could have had 10 points the he was every single shift he was making something he could have had 10 on that ball shift where where ball looked like you and Edmonton said I I tweeted the group I go get ball off the ice it looks like me in Edmonton he was falling down
Covs laughing going by him but man I with all the skill in the world and all the vision and the creativity and his shot nobody talks about how good his shot is he competes like a dog and that’s the difference between the truly G great ones and the 80 Point guys he is
Furious out there if you take the puck from him he’ll do anything to win I know people may hate this he’s one of the dirtier players in the league but what does that do for him it probably creates even more space so I right now think COV
Is the MVP of the league but I think you’ll see some Canadian bias and some North American bias and I think if McKinnon continues on this pace he gets it and my other thing about Matthews unless Matthews gets 70 which we’ve talked about when will we see a 70 goal
Score if he gets 70 I’m cool with giving it to him the argument would be he doesn’t even lead his own team in scoring it’s kind of hardi said there’s never been a heart winner that finished second on their team in scoring very interesting fact I know but we haven’t
Had a 70 goal score in like what 40 years so it’s kind of it that’ll be interesting to see that play out but kucherov deserves it but I’m telling you right now if you don’t think him being rushian and his performance at the All-Star Game will affect some of these
Voters you’re crazy if he finishes if he finishes 20 points ahead of McKinnon you he doesn’t get it that’s that that that I think is enough to get it but if he’s like eight point in front of him I think mckin I agree with you and I think it
Would also I would say from my from my voting perspective and maybe my bias and no disrespect to COV and when I say it looks effortless it doesn’t mean he’s not putting in effort he’s just cracked the code where he just has figured it out so it looks easy when he’s doing it
I think the fact that McKinnon could have and should have probably won it the year that Hy won it plays a factor in that he doesn’t have one and it would be criminal if McKinnon has a career that he has and never wins a heart and they
Do some of that they do some of that he’s he’s it’s his time and and that’s that’s how I’m that’s how I’m voting in my head if the points are close enough because if you watch yeah COV has one and if you also watch the games I mean
To watch McKinnon play is is also a treat because like maybe in some cases where you say COV oh it looks easy and it’s like he’s not working hard kin and it just looks like he’s [ __ ] running a truck out there and he’s blowing by guys and he’s Galloping and it even more
Probably like looks a little bit more fun to to to enjoy so that’s my bias uh I would probably lean to McKinnon um if if it was that close so uh I think everything you said is is uh is uh bang on with though as far as the bias is
Concerned quickly um was wasn’t on the outline for the show but I just wanted to go into uh because we also brought up brunette the the cancelling of the YouTu show at the sphere all that team’s done since is Win five in a row so you got to
At some point give a coach in a GM a little bit of credit for taking away a cookie because it worked and I know players may say it doesn’t [ __ ] work we just started playing better but you can’t you can’t dog what they did if they end up going on this little run
They have gone on since that little cancellation so shout out to the PRS and I guess shout out to trot and brunette for making a tough decision so that was a side note that that deserve to be mentioned and that’s why shouldn’t be a coach because I’m a pushover [ __ ] my
Players would run my show yeah I was hoping they squeezed it in on that Friday night but apparently they did because you two I think there’s only like two more shows left but uh just to jump back on cooch I was talking to coup back in December and he even said he’s
The best player in the planet right now and and I don’t remember like an MVP race this close with this many guys I mean a decent amount of time I mean these guys could Leap Frog each other still tons of time left and Biz to go back to Jersey the coaching change I
Think it’s way too late for that if they were going to make that move they should have done it month and a half ago I think they’re a little bit too far out right now Jersey what they 62 points they’re seven behind the Wild Card five
Behind Philly uh they got a game in hand but I don’t I think I think it’s too late to make that R right I don’t disagree with you either and going into that game against Tampa New Jersey was Five Points behind and that that effort to know that essenti I thought that that
Was the season on the line right there the fact that they lost that game it’s over I don’t see them making playoffs unless they do something drastic that brings him back so now seven points back after that dumpster fire in which was a pathetic performance but here’s the
Thing that Devil’s fans and that idiot posha is kind of holding on Hope is that they’re not really chasing the two wild card spots they’re chasing the Flyers and so if the Flyers end up selling off like they they got Walker they got sealer now Dale’s injured it looked
Pretty bad too when he yeah same shoulder as last year that he had I felt really bad and he’s H it’s hanging as he’s running down the tunnel but if they end up like deciding to move on from guys and almost sticking to the longer term plan as opposed to wow we’ve had
Success this year let’s try to maybe add and and make the playoffs but if they do sell off then the Devils they just got to catch the flyers I don’t know if they play again or how many times they play again this year but it’s almost the
Third in the Metro they’re chasing as opposed to the two wild cards because I think it’s pretty clear that the Atlantic division is going to be the two wild cards right I think it might be Detroit and and and Tampa Bay yeah those two they pretty firly sconed in there right now
But uh again keeping with the theme of stars on TNT your boy Sid Crosby with what a [ __ ] I mean this guy’s with 36 he looks like he’s 26 out there four points uh like you said earlier B he’s got 129 points the most points any opponent’s had against the Flyers since
They entered the league back in 1967 and this is a team that looked dead a week and a half ago with the FL the Penguins and and [ __ ] they’re they’re right back in the race you think they they got games in hand which is helping
Him ra and he actually won up cooch he had five points on Sunday and that puts him at 130 points the most ever by a Pittsburgh or any player excuse me against the Philadelphia Flyers so wait you think Pittsburgh’s gonna make playoffs no I it’s it’s all
Crosby and if there’s one human being that could do it it’s him but I don’t know Mal is like non-existent man I I I watch these games it’s like and and what a career and what a run but it’s just kind of like L fair and and then there’s
Crosby just dragging his team along making defensive plays scoring big goals blocking shots like I I I actually I actually think that the league and fans of the league don’t even understand how lucky they are to have this guy represent this sport the last 20 years
Years and not to mention what he does on the ice and what he does in the community and how many lives he’s changed in the city of Pittsburgh and that’s not an exaggeration younger kids getting into the game Charities all these things that he’s done to create
Not only a winning culture off the ice but a a a a very like strong supportive community in Pittsburgh around the Penguins and and Sydney Crosby and his legacy there but then he goes like after the game and he’s doing the interview with you guys and Tony Granado coached
Him and he’s going through the Battle of his life and and Sid says these super kind words about what he means to him it’s just like it’s it’s one of those people touched by God raised the right way he has respect for everyone he doesn’t act bigger than the game he
Doesn’t act bigger than a fourth ler on the team he’s just like one of those guys you dream to have represent your team in your city and and if anyone can do it it can be him but where are the rest of the Penguins and they have to
Trade gensel I think I was actually completely against that but then it was the TNT chicklets alt cast where I say all right enough’s enough the Panthers made them look like fools and there’s been a little bit of a bounceback but when we talk about chasing down that
Third spot in the Metro buddy like it’s one thing that right now they’re Five Points behind SE Sorry Seven Points behind the Flyers and yes they have four games in hand on them but it’s not just that it’s they got a Leap Frog the Islanders the devils and the capitals so
It’s you can’t look at the points and the games in hand you got to look at the teams that you actually have to get over because those teams are going to be winning and competing as well so I don’t think the Penguins get in man and it’s
Shocking and it’s all the power play I don’t know if they had a scoring change in that business because the Box had a goal and three assists I think they credited him with an assist on the game but I think they might have changed I thought I thought yeah well it was he
Had four going in and then that I thought that that uh the last goal he ended up getting a point on so my my apologies no that’s all right um yeah I mean he’s been unreal 60 points in 55 games this year like I said he looks a
Decade younger than he’s been playing but no no support so far uh Biz what was up with you and Jazz little ww F action was we were just [ __ ] around well he’s a he’s a he’s a big Flyers fan he’s from Philadelphia and I he gave me a
Nugget beforehand he said the penguins have not scored more than two Power Play Goals in any game this season and I think he maybe I did say the stat wrong or he thought I said the stat wrong so I just had enough so I went back there and
[ __ ] dummied him but like in flyer fashion when I had my back turned he jumped on me and and strangled me he’s a he’s a dirty boy that jazz you Dum eat him no shock there but great week on TNT anyways bu some unreal games oh so many
Good games uh and in that ve before we actually we haven’t even mentioned I guess you had Sam ryanh hat we talked to him up Toronto a couple weeks we’re going to bring him on very shortly but I I know I beat this drum and I haven’t
For a while but the whole blackout and NHL Network stuff Colorado Toronto a mai game Saturday night I’m sure it was hockey night and Canada up there the only people who could watch it in America was NHL Network which by the way once again they do do not even have a
[ __ ] streaming out with the NHL you can’t watch this game streaming you can only watch it on the NHL Network certain Smart TVs like if you have a Samsung Smart TV you can’t download certain apps to log into certain cable thing so I just don’t know why they’re forcing
These games and even Sunday the Chell ceremony the Detroit Chicago game that was only on the NHL network uh the people it’s every week man every night people getting blacked out uh it’s a joke the NHL has to fix this because you’re preventing people from watching your product it’s [ __ ] 2024 these
Whole zones with blackout regions just do away with them young kids aren’t watching [ __ ] TV anyway so they need to fix it man cuz they really cost themselves so end of rant right there boys I think we should send it over to Sam Reinhardt right about now before we
Go to Reinhardt yeah uh Florida Panthers might be the best team in the NHL um they were on an incredible Road winning streak and the only way it was stopped was by Carolina who’s also Carolina and Dallas are the exact same teams to me where they’re like very very good and
Nobody talks under the radar they’re under the radar awesome and I don’t think they mind it one bit and Carolina beat the Panthers one- nothing to stop that road winning streak and it was only because the Panthers had a goal called back on the worst rule in the league the
Offside review let’s hope they figure that godamn rule out but shout out to the Panthers this team has all the makings of a cup Contender and a cup champ so Reinhardt sat down with us and this kid very similar to besser just a cool cat and I guess probably it’s cuz
He knows he’s going to sign for about 80 million in the next few months but thank you for sitting down with us and I hope everyone enjoys all right before we go any further here’s a few words from our friends over at DraftKings get in on the hockey action

Happy to Welcome to the spit and chickets podcast Sam Reinhard congrats on the All-Star game and the hell of a season so so far brother good job thank you I appreciate you guys having me what a heater this guy’s been on holy [ __ ] Sammy Reinhardt putting the strap on on
The free agency pay me contract here pay me and and probably the main reason we have you on this podcast is because you your good buddies with posha eski now posha eski is a villain in the spit and chickets world I don’t know if you know this because he’s been going well
Vancouver JT Miller and he’s been double risting his New Jersey Devils nonstop with ridic take you know what I did I did see that clip that take he had on JT and thoughts that’s not the right take that is not for com for he won’t walk it back
The guy’s going to win like the playoff MVP and POS I don’t know man body language is bad I will say I gave the Devils no chance against the Rangers in my pick before that series that was a hell of a series but back and forth but that was the worst
Take I’ve seen all year I think hey hey don’t feel bad I had the Panthers missing playoffs last year so did we all I guess but especially BR missing playoffs last year to think we were 20 points out at this time last year H you
Guys have had quite the run and uh I mean like just talk about your streak so far this year like from from what I’m hearing is you had a big off season like the training wise you you took a deep dive you [ __ ] got in the best shape
Of your life and you came in ready to go well he got married none of that matters he got married oh okay so there less nights with the boys then no honestly the uh it’s kind of taken out of context it’s the less I’ve done over my eight
Years really in an off season it’s just I’ve had so many Long Summers um I’ve done a tremendous amount each summer and and put in the work and it I think it allowed me to to do less just stay healthy get be ready for this year um
Yeah I was able to tweak a little thing with tweak a little things with my team back home and and and do less and more more f good and I think it was that kind of base over a bunch of years that and less time on the ice I did so much off
Ice and it was it was allowed me to stay off the ice L because it took no time getting back onto it that’s what I was going to ask we we interviewed Gary Roberts yesterday and he he talked about he’s really trying to get guys to not
Skate as much so many guys just love skating now all summer so for you was it like all right let’s just I I don’t need to be on the ice every day in in in July and August absolutely it’s it’s a fine line that I’ve always kind of battled um
Um yeah you could skate every day your hands would feel phenomenal you would have a better touch coming back um but God damn your hips everything going throughout the season it’s I’ve been very fortunate knock on would been very healthy and I think that’s probably
A little bit of why staying off the ice but doing a lot off ice sorry staying yeah doing a lot less on ice so I think it all kind of contributes to it I remember I texted you at some point this year Merl’s asked me to ask you if you
Playing with a longer stick now and you actually said it’s shorter now than it used to be shorter it kind of took me 5 years to uh feel out I actually used a straight stick more of a straighter curve um in junior didn’t last very long
With that in in in in NHL but it took me five or six years to kind of finalize what it was and I actually shrunk my stick a little bit um who someone was asking me about barkov stick the other day just how long it was um
I don’t understand how like you move it around your body how your hands so like having it tight some of these guys like eblad I brought him up in an interview he’s so he used such a long stick I mean obviously he’s a defenseman but just I
Don’t understand how you have such long stick and you’re able to I would get jammed up on the wall all the time I think short long stick regardless you’re getting jammed up on the wall okay I love this I wish more young guys would come on and [ __ ] CH me like
This okay game on you [ __ ] he could have no stick he getting jammed up but going going back to the straighter curve though like I felt like a straighter curve helped along the walls as well where if you’re a Winger like I know having a banana hook on it
Sometimes can get a little tricky no um maybe our almost easier so it’s it’s straight for about 3/4 of it and then the toe’s got a pretty good hook on it um like my [ __ ] like my [ __ ] I knew you were thinking no Samy was thinking what he was saying originally started
That [ __ ] so it’s it almost makes the backand a little easier because it’s it’s it’s still relatively flat I mean look at CRA pick a he’s got a hook two does he not I mean yeah if if he can do it with a hook you you know you should
Be able to practice it a little bit but um and get a feel for it but I don’t think it I it almost keeps it on your toe and makes it a little bit easier for me shot everything it it helps made better for me see I mentioned in the
Intro you’ve been averaging over a point per game of Florida did you do anything different down there did anything change it was just the whole circumstances the new team new lineup new coach all that stuffy to I mean well we we’ll get to actually play with Barky after this but
Like that my first year we scored 10 goals a game I mean everyone had career years um adjusted our style obviously with with a new coach it was just not a style that was relatively uh uh prone to being successful in the playoffs and running it was running gun running gun
But no we were playing we were winning I actually had a slow start that year too almost every year but um yeah I think it was November and then started playing with huie a little bit um got on the board and then our third line got going so it was good but
Everyone was scoring our power play was good it was just you’re you’re winning is that the year you had 32 comebacks or something where you guys had these crazy games yeah 65 for sure it was third periods it was just sometimes you’re in that mode and it it almost feels a
Little too easy you know and then you’re not ready but playing with barov it it it took a while it was the same thing with IES like we didn’t have chemistry right away um almost a lot of discussion between you guys at the beginning trying
To figure it out yeah so we we played about 15 games at the start of last year we our coach brought it up to us this year our our numbers our stats were off the charts we just couldn’t score we just Puck wasn’t going in and then
Um went back this year at the start and everything just kind of started clicking and then you start feeling it I don’t know the the power play is amazing like I think you have more Power Play Goals than six teams in the league and for for any offensive player like the power play
Is where you just get that confidence you’re getting points you’re getting the touches like so for you to to light it up this much it must be not a relief but you’re like all right this is perfect because now I know exactly where I am on the the ice and Barky knows exactly
Where I’m going to be the power play can take off a lot of pressure it can put a hell of a lot more pressure on um we kind of actually struggled at the start of the year and uh but Barky and I were actually producing five on five still so
It was taking some pressure off but the power plays helped just the whole team Chuck and I were just laughing at this on break just kind of thinking about the success we’ve had using the middle of the ice and it’s just every other power or a lot
Of power plays it’s the black Co right everyone hates to be there even when Paul came and he said obviously we have Chucky I’m not going to be goal line anymore he’s so he said I think we’re going to put you in the middle I know it
Sounds terrible but we’ll work it out and it actually took until playoffs to start kind of seeing the success with it last year takes some time to get a feel for it but you got to distribute the puck there you can’t you have to evene pressure it’s all about the guys around
It timing it right and and and and finding you in there so I’ve been factor of that but but you’ve had to kind of learn how finding that that empty area I did the same thing when I went to Buffalo uh and then we drafted IES it’s
Like well [ __ ] I’m not going to be on the half wall I got to figure out how to be out there and then kind of developed how to be a ghou line guy and then uh figure that out and then uh obviously take some take some time in the middle
But it’s all about putting the puck there and all these teams do diamonds now it’s it’s a vulnerable spot did did you see the Daryl belfrey breakdown end up redoing on TNT where he explained how you expose the the opposite side of the ice so I guess you’re you’re a righty
Right yeah when you’re on the left side and you’re usually around the goal line area you’re always able to find those scene passes where it’s either barkov or one of the other guys popping out like is that something that youve always been good at or all of a sudden you’ve added
That to your bag like he had he must have had 50 examples of you just working right around that goal line area on that side of the ice yeah are you are you saying like back like where Chucky spot is now no this is just even more five on five and
How you guys are able to generate like he was just he just did a breakdown of like how good you’ve been at it so I was just curious to ask you and if you’d seen it cuz I thought it was such a good breakdown and it was like holy [ __ ] like
15 times already in the season this guy’s like the same play sh made an escape move along the goal line then you’re finding barov who’s popping out at the perfect time so it just seems like you guys are just in unison even five on yeah you know what honestly I I
Saw I don’t know if this is kind of the same skill you’re talking about but I I saw a clip of Bard in preseason and he was coming through the neutral zone and he just like I I assume he’s got a toe curve if
He did it but he kind of put it towards his feet and then just flew by the guy and like the guy had no chance to get his stick to where the puck was yeah he’s like protecting it in a different way but it’s like it it it was just such
A weird play is that kind of what you’re talking about yeah well like it just seems like you’re doing a good job down low of like getting separation and kind of just like find those Pucks in those areas in order maybe feeling a little bit quicker
A Little Bit Stronger you get maybe a couple more inches and and that’s going to make my life easier yeah and you I’ve always been able to read the play and and find it so if I’m feeling a little bit quicker now so just gives me that
Much more time to uh to see it and make the play uh back to the beginning when when you’re younger uh posha told me um youngest of three yeah so just just getting pounded on always chasing your older brothers I know griffi was was a
Real high pick right so like for you was it just always kind of chasing after them and that that’s what made you good absolutely it was everything I kind of went through growing up I just saw how they were able to handle it both positively and negatively and you know
You live and you learn but I saw them go through it yeah made everything easy for me yeah and your your father played what over a thousand NHL games or close no he play he retired at 29 okay so he played 18 to 29 and he had some injuries and then
Dominant though when he played he had num yeah very solid good to see you’ve done your homework now remember the first night you met him I met him I had no idea he’d played in the NHL I think I think he felt that I pigeon toss him it
Was the premiere of Biz dobc because he was the star of the show you’re like you’re like hey buddy buddy I’ll talk to you later to was I there for the premere I don’t know if you were there I was oh so did you play and he’s like uh yeah you know
How much better I was than you bro yeah basically basic that’s the look he gave me without having to say it Russ um but yeah no uh I I we always talk about this culture you guys have created in Florida and like you guys are like a rat pack
Bunch of hyenas that’s got to be an unreal close-knit locker room for sure I think it starts you I I mean you go on the road you throw in the team chat dinner reso tonight for eight and then all of a sudden someone’s calling make
It for 14 like and it’s a different 14 every time and it just it’s just so close and it’s I I mean you see it on the ice and guys feed off of each other got some great personalities [ __ ] well it’s like every game it’s like all right
If we’re down will’ll just cause a Ruckus and like there’s like you’re either scoring or fighting it’s just it’s a team that’s fun to watch though too which I think everyone probably appreciate it’s great to be a part of I mean you you see some of the personalities come out and it’s
Unbelievable it’s it’s fun room to be in how much of this recent team success and this culture you just talked about can be credited to your uh your new mascot black is he around the did you get to meet him after that whole ordeal no we
Actually it was after game uh it was one of the games we won against I think it was Washington at home and uh I think he was on the the glass dooky had scored and went up to the glass and then someone had recognized him so I think it
Was Billy rgm brought him up to the suite and that was the big was right next to Lou and all our GM right next to the like the the GM box he thought it was like a a shade of glass or whatever T the you can only see
Came down to the room after taking photos unbelievable I’m I’m in the shower with I forget one other guy and he just it’s like quiet in there and he just comes walking in and looks in he’s like this isn’t where I was supposed to he’s bird watching unbelievable but
Kodak Kodak blocks a bird watcher I think so yeah I mean he definitely saw my hey that could end bad for you he’s got probably people who’s this missing that [ __ ] calling me a bird watcher yeah back in the clink he goes didn’t you say he like tried to bring
His gun into the locker room or something like that like I don’t I don’t think so I I don’t know yeah but um yeah there’s a good amount of security there around him with him and you know our team was handling it well but um I don’t
Think we’ve we’ve seen him since I haven’t I haven’t seen I think after the humping incident he might have been banned he might have been banned got toss all NHL games I don’t think i’ I’d seen him after but yeah I think there was another angle of that too wasn’t
What first thought that happened I mean could see why they did wouldn’t get a lady bent over in the box like that but anyways moving right along l in the playoffs it’s it was a bit of a I think a coming out party for Matthew kachaka certainly around the
League but were you even impressed or a little bit surprised the caliber of like player and Lead he was last year just he seemed like he dragged you guys into the fight quite a bit down the stretch and in the playoffs some guys just have it
Some guys just just uh know how to produce know how to get the puck in the net um I don’t think there’s a guy that’s better at a pull-up coming into the Zone um oh and then the trailer finding the trailer just making Five Guys over back check is
Is it’s unbelievable so you just got a knack for and I mean timing you guys you guys saw it it’s just late in games getting the puck and hope for the best when when when the finals came dude and he had like broken sternum I mean just
Seeing him kind of go and try to give it you were probably so impressed like he was he was a lot pain you you could see it I mean you couldn’t tie up es skates couldn’t get a jersey on it’s just you know at that point in the
Series you’re you’re you’re looking for a spark and the the the guy you’re you’ve been leaning on all all playoffs it’s it’s a tough feeling it’s it’s uh tough to bounce back from it’s unfortunately we weren’t able to but God damn you learned from it and we were
Talking on the Pod um Maurice is just like what a great quote I’m sure like guys love playing for him but as kachuck was slow offensive he he said like in an interview he’s going to pop off soon and sure as [ __ ] like since that day I think
He’s got 30 points in 12 games but like so even for you seeing him play it’s like dude this guy’s getting so much chances this isn’t oh yeah it was it it wasn’t an issue at all um was he getting frustrated I mean I’m sure he he wanted
To but he wouldn’t show it he wouldn’t uh he wasn’t he wasn’t cheating he wasn’t going out his way I think that kind of speaks to to to Paul and and and the culture we have there that if if a guy like that that can put up 130 any
Given year and he’s and he’s having a slow start that he’s not cheating the game he’s not starting to do anything different and that’s just kind of the way we play and and and what we preach and if if we’re all doing that more guys have more success what a guy Paul
Maurice is E just how like just I’ve never I’ve never uh seen a guy have a feel of of the room um what to say um you know at any given moment and the the style he preaches the guys are fully bought in and and and we love playing it
What’s your memory of the timeout he took in Toronto when he like one of the that I think on that same trip Walt had gone on a Canadian station and basically ripped your guy it was it was right before I think I think uh Chucky said Walt was taking credit for the run
Because because of the timing um so I think they’re fighting over who who was taking credit um but yeah it was it was it was almost on the bench and it was it was G like he’s I think we got a pretty good understanding he’s not he doesn’t
Dislike us it’s not personal it’s I remember being on the bench and I was like this is perfect timing this is really yeah and and we were obviously in a in a tough spot at that moment and and we able to battle out of it um he did
The same thing in in in Minnesota we had a terrible first they were coming off a back to back you know a couple when we hadn’t won three in a row um he actually a game or two later he was on the jotron getting I think second
Alltime um coaches game played in in the league and and guys were kind of pumping him up on the drumotron I look back I’m like I I think if this was played in the Minnesota game some guys would change their change their opinions of you but
They just put it off the big screen immediately yeah but even then just absolutely ripped us apart the the the first period and then ended up losing the game and uh and the next day you know you kind of go on the rank and you’re thinking little scared like yeah
It’s a shitty feeling I don’t want to go through this meeting and then so positive it was so it was just kind of brought us back in and and then we went on a kind of mini run some coaches would have clamped down again where exactly
Exactly so we just got a good feel of uh kind of keeping you honest and then kind of reeling you in at the same time and it’s it’s it’s been fun to be a part of I know bis made a joke of him the jump and you talked to the Press yesterday
Saying you finally waiting for the contract but it’s sometimes tough to like sort of not look ahead knowing that P’s coming what do you mean we’re talking about the number what are you asking for um what would you take double digies I haven’t asked for anything I like
Eight times nine you know we’ll see I like a lot of things but um we’ll we’ll see like I’ve I’ve got no no issue with it being ongoing with it being slow they don’t matter but I final offer like is there an end game
I talked to Z this morning he told me to approach it this way you on the spot on behalf of the he told you to start at 8 and you like no I’ll start at 9: if he approach it this quick it might be done my
Uh but no I think if if I was if if I was struggling the team was struggling it would it would be like more of an more of an issue but they know I want to be there I I know they want me there so it’s it obviously doesn’t always happen
But it’s it’s not uh it’s not an issue in in any of our minds so um it’s it’s it’s not like we need something before the deadline here we we’re we’re all in for this year and [ __ ] buddy that’s want to be there long term that’s got to be
Hard though to try to not think about it and block that out like is it something that sometimes Creeps in and you’re like Bud [ __ ] off don’t worry about it that’s a I’d be a mental [ __ ] I’ve I’ve never had a long-term deal I think this three
My Buffalo was the longest I’ve ever had that’s the longest deal bu longest I’ve ever had and and I’ve uh was the longest I’ve ever offered I was ever offered so um tough to get a longer one when there’s no options when there’s no options so um I was laughing about it
With uh with Jumbo Joe thoron when when he was in Florida cuz I think he was probably offered a little longer at some point in his career but I don’t think he was ever longer than a two two three-year deal his whole career um obviously a little bit different
Circumstances but um so it it’s it’s nothing new obviously when you have a start like this it just it’s just out of my mind now it’s irrelevant this I I don’t I would imagine I would imagine like you know you’re in Buffalo you’re going through a lot there so it’s more
That it’s easier not to think about it because you’re so happy and you’ve seen where it was kind of dark days team weren wasn’t on a good team now you’re in Florida love the guys so it’s it’s easier not to think about it it’s easier to think of you appreciate where you’re
At winning a hockey game and and trying to win the cup that’s kind of yeah that’s our goal right so it it it kind of takes everything out out of the equation mentally but I think I think if if I was having a tough start or or or
Tough first half it would it would probably keep you up at night a little bit more um but I’m comfortable with with where we’re at obviously um like the buffalo situation without being offered anything long term was that something that maybe aggravated you a little bit or you you know just
Understood that that’s kind of where the market was based on how much they were willing to pay like how did you feel about that um we had a lot of new people coming in so it’s they were changing like underwear back you know and yeah so it it wasn’t at at the time
Yeah maybe you’d want it I think uh I think maybe now you you would look a little bit how many long terms they they have and and maybe you would think a little bit more why it was was never offered but I actually said this in the
Media the other day because because a buffalo reporter was asking Kevin Kevin was phenomenal in in making making the deal to to get me to a place where where I wanted to be in where I was going to have success so I got nothing but positive things to say about him and and
And everything yeah we got to spend an hour with him in Buffalo talking to him and he was just such a nice guy who that Kevin or OK Kevin Kevin Adams Kevin yeah R was there but really wasn’t cuz he his body was there yeah he was on aable he
Got CAD Margarita to death that sh shout out to my girl off forget our day in the where where you where you guys go I don’t remember who where you guys go in Buffalo we went to that spot um Speak Easy yeah the Speak oh right beside the
Rank right right beside been there a few times awesome spot awesome well I mean the fandom in Buffalo was so hardcore I wanted to ask you because you know I’m sure they were wondering why it kind of fizzled out or didn’t work there but your time in Buffalo I’m sure you loved
It and loved the support of the community cuz that’s probably one of the craziest fan bases going it was great I mean seven seven eight we’re almost eight years together I guess or almost 70 whatever it was but yeah you’re I mean you’re you’re coming in 1819 like
It’s it’s all you know it’s it’s all you know it was it was great they were phenomenal the the people were all phenomenal I you know I got no bad feelings about my time there other than obviously wish we wish we had more success but that ultimately
Falls on us and you know you move on yeah so the All-Star Game right like it’s probably pretty cool for you getting to be here and being in Toronto being in a market like this like were you thinking about that at all or when you found out it’s just more
Excitement yeah I think like I I’ve never been I’ve never been here so I’ve never uh experienced it but I think uh yeah having the first one being being Toronto is is is pretty cool I mean hockey hub of the world so um is it
Mario or is it I I do say it’s like the hockey Mecca but I hate the Leafs and I hate their fans but I can admit like there’s a different vibe in this city for sure yeah exactly the enthusiasm and everything so um but crazy to see all
All the jerseys guys people flying in it’s it’s been pretty nuts it’s it’s been a wh run but I think for the first one who was your guy growing up like who was your your favorite player um probably ainla really I was a Calgary fan actually my my dad played
For them mostly so I was mostly a Calgary fan even though I grew up in Vancouver um liked Vancouver as well obviously but probably followed Ain the most um and then obviously Crosby went yeah once he came in how did he not yeah I talked to your brother Max and he told
Me I have to bring up uh your putting game lately he said you’ve been really struggling on the greens my putting game’s been dialed lately it’s I used to have The Yips okay it’s been good lately but I like there was a couple years there um I I couldn’t everything else
Was was down I can get to the green no problem four four and three Footers like missing them everything like some some of my Strokes would be especially the long ones I get it every now on the long ones but sometimes it’s like it’ll go out like this and it was
Terrible but no I I hate practicing golf I I just want to go play but putting uh a couple years back when I was still living at my parents in the summer they got a putting green and I was able to dial it in a little bit and practice and then uh but
It’s it’s it’s been better but there was a couple Shady years there sketchy years there they’re going to ask for reimbursement on that putting green when this deal gets signed yeah so you feel confident going into a sandbagger with us now with the we I would I would feel confident um who’s your
Partner did it Crush you to see IES Play Already and you didn’t get to partner up with him would that would that have been one of your first choices absolutely he would always be up up high on the list um I’m trying to think uh maybe maybe
Zaner kerut in uh and on your squad Biz coyotes coyotes members at the same club or uh or or Morgan he’s he’s a van I didn’t know he played on the kyot any yeah I didn’t know that Jes he really you’re talking about kerut who played in Toronto yes oh okay I knew
That yeah I knew he was there sounds like you didn’t you you said his name zanner though I call him Xander yeah that’s why I was like who the [ __ ] iser I grew up with him I’ve always called him xer why is his name zanner well it’s Alexander
Oh that’s kind of like when I asked uh sober right now too wasn’t dranking I was when I asked Elliot Freeman oh so why do you guys call 31 thoughts and he’s like there’s 31 teams is it 32 now yeah they moved at 32 yeah they mve at
The time there was 31 so I guess I didn’t explain that joke either um what else should we talk about you’re a big soccer fan Z have you had a chance to go down and see Messi play no you know Messi’s uh Messi’s a tough guy to uh get
A hold of um Cena CA did you see the clip of um someone saw him in traffic the other day yeah and just yeah and they chucked they had a jersey they he put his window down they chucked it and he signed it chucked it back the guys
Were going nuts um would love to get out to pract I’ve seen a couple of his games um Sergio buset was that I heard that our game met him um I don’t know who that is oh dude is that the guy who he got yeah I think he was
Like I missed what he said what’ you say he’s on the coyotes [ __ ] you Biz played with him in Ontario yeah you were on the rain with me yeah oh yeah that guy so the yeah the soccer’s blowing up down there yeah yeah so it’s it’s been uh
Pretty cool as a soccer fan uh being around it for sure did they get the is the new practice facility done in Lauderdale yeah so I I hear now we’re officially in it morning skate everything I heard it’s unbelievable it’s unbelievable five minutes from everyone taking golf carts over there
Guys are taking golf carts oh um yeah you save about an hour and a half two hours in the car on game day it’s it’s going to it’s going to be a game changer yeah for sure uh pretty good squad you’re going to be playing on Saturday
Uh Conor McDavid Leon past KN an old team of yours uh darene who you looking forward to playing with anyone in particular just going to go have some fun [ __ ] around a little bit I think you guys got Who Will Arnett then will arette big fan the live show oh did you
He come by last night was unbelievable we got dinner with him so he’s a riot he’s a massive fan of him um I don’t know this McDavid guy is pretty good yeah um played with him under 18s I think he was like 12 years old I
Remember I was it was it was my it was my third under 18s and uh it was it was my third one and and they called me right before it was after my team got knocked over the playoffs and they’re like I’d never played Wing at the time I’d only played center they
Called me and said oh I think we’re going to uh move you to Wing we got this like kid who’s coming up wants to play center I’m like all all right I don’t like okay when whatever you think and then first practice I’m like holy [ __ ]
And he’s he’s 15 he was proba well it was under 18 so I think he was yeah 14 or 15 whatever I think probably just I don’t even know if he was in the o d so he was what three years younger than you he broke Crosby’s record or something on
Under 18s it was right away but you could tell like what the hell is this it was absurd yeah it was absurd I from a speed perspective he was what three years younger than you yeah and and he was equivalent speed if not more than guys three years older than him I mean
It’s not saying much that was more Speedy than me but but uh yeah he he was blown by guys it was it was incredible like I I the strength I don’t know how you how you get that strong to fly around like that on the ice some guys just have it I don’t
Know you got a shitload of family and friends here to watch I assume yeah everyone the whole family came from uh from uh Vancouver and then uh my wife’s from around here so we got we got a lot of people in and it’s been fun who who’s
The Clown on on the Panthers like in the room like [ __ ] they got of them lomberg is he a goon in the Lamborghini he’s he’s a character um it’s it’s a lot it’s it’s it’s a long list um cuzzy your guys’ favorite he’s he’s I don’t think he’s too happy with me right
Now I would imagine so but unbelievable in the room is the best um the best as even after your comments I’m sure you would probably assume that I I said on the podcast I go I want him every day of the week twice on Sundays I don’t know
If you heard that part of the clip of what but let’s clip it now yeah I think right now he reigns as the biggest piece of [ __ ] in the league and that is a compliment Absol absolutely I mean only one guy can get that title um absolutely
You want that guy and you would pick him as the biggest piece of [ __ ] oh yeah I mean he’s he stir the pot I mean we we got we got a fair share of that on our team um you know Benny plays his heart of game as anybody he’s
Unbelievable he’s kind of scary he’s one of those guys that’s just like one of those scary guys where he lurks around the ice where if he catches you to head down he’ll snatch your who did he murder in the playoff session was it slaven slav oh my God yeah I
Was I was he had just come on the ice I was like just about to turn I think it was to like go back to the bench um and like I kind of like seen in the corner of my eye and kind of like turned back
I’m like did like I just with s a murder exactly but yeah he’s done it he’s done it a lot of times have you seen Chucky have a reverse hit holy [ __ ] oh yeah he’s don’t want to be on the end of that anymore Dy caught one of those years ago
They still hate each other they over it was that hit on slaven during that quadruple overtime game no that was at home that was uh I think in the third period game four I think that was what was that up the the quadruple overtime was that anything like you’ve ever
Experienced it was it was crazy it went which what’s the most you guys have played I did uh the end of double overtime end of double over three and it and and thaty and that felt like that felt like four games I usually just untied my skates in the third so I don’t
Really know exactly I kind of checked out mentally but I don’t think I’ve been a part of any crazy crazy ones where I’ve been actually dressed in lineup yeah you know what it it went by so fast because like over time there’s one TV or timeout just quick shovel um I think the
Intermissions are way shorter right I don’t or at least a few I think it’s I think it’s like a couple less minutes there in intermission at one point they did but you’re not even like thinking it’s so hard to eat um you’re trying to drink but it’s just like it it
Went by so goddamn fast we were did everybody share that opinion with you that it went by fast most at least in our locker room I think most guys did and then I think Chucky scored like 20 seconds left we were going into a fifth
And I was just what the [ __ ] is going on and and then I remember getting back kind of feeling fine and I like blocked a shot earlier so I I was getting some treatment on my foot trying to flush it out or on my ankle or whatever
And I ended up getting a full leg cramp on both sides and I was like shaking just so dehydrated and like you know you on playoffs you bring like 10 extra doctors in there just like all like sprinting water over just trying to hydrate and then I don’t know I I
Couldn’t imagine having that at home like for them having to be get home on their coach the next day would have been terrible like we’re all in the hotel we get up we we end up going to NC State had a facility the football team we we
End up going to the rink and walking over with got us out like we got meals but like if I was alone on my coach that next day it would be how play a game the next day so I think that was that was a
Bonus for us for sure so is that safe to say that’s the most relieved you’ve ever felt for a goal in your career um yeah yeah that was that was game one yeah absolutely that was the series there yeah I mean it was I was doing the
Panel with way grety and even he was like this is [ __ ] absurd get me the [ __ ] out of many you guys don’t pay me enough for this [ __ ] get me how many dump to to beat Carolina you have to you have to play like them and and that was
You know a style you’re you’re trying to play and you’re just trying uh whoever’s got the better finish at at at the end of the game you’re so tired I remember um like there a number of chances both ways and I was just you’re so gassed you
Can’t even raise the puck you can’t even do anything Biz I remember the first uh I worked at TSN while I was still playing like you know the guys would go for the playoffs for the broadcast yeah I did it too and it was Vancouver Dallas
And it was 3-2 I forget who was up and I was like they might tie it up and Bob MacKenzie’s like shut your mouth and I was like what like you know these guys are doing and then all of a sudden they got tied up he’s like [ __ ] yeah you
Don’t you don’t say that and it went to Triple OT sadine scored in triple OT but he was like you [ __ ] cuz like on the broadcast team we don’t want any overtimes get us out of here say the word overtime it’s getting tight in TV especially for the crew too cuz they got
To stick around they don’t give a [ __ ] they just want to punch the clock what time are you getting over there after uh after double header uh usually around like 1:30 you know 1 140 maybe 140 145 the latest but uh it’s just it’s just a
Little bit hard some times cuz like some of these regular season games they don’t play it the way the Florida Panthers do I’ve been talking about this probably the last month I watch you guys constantly now because of the way you guys play when when not when any of the
Play goes quote unquote boring you guys are trying to start a fist fight or you’re sucker punching guys in the face or slashing them on the way to the bench where I genuinely think that in regular season hockey it needs I don’t know I’m quite
Doing I’m I’m part of it yeah well you also have more [ __ ] Power Play Goals than the Pittsburgh pin so you’re doing your part suck on that pens fans but no I just feel like you guys are just so much more entertaining and the league
Needs more of that I think if it heads in that direction some of these boring teams it would make these late games feel so boring all the time yeah I I think so I mean I’m I’m glad you guys like this like the style we’re playing I mean
There’s some games where we just know it’s going to be boring as hell going in um you know Carolina being one of them I mean that’s that’s what you got to do to be a team like that um it’s it’s part of the reason we have more success against
The better teams simplify the style it’s just simplify it’s it’s just easy mentally it’s it’s it’s you know Paul always preach it’s it’s not an easy game to play um but if everyone’s doing it consist consistently you just ride that wave and it’s it’s it feels easy when
You’re in the when you’re in the zone what’s your uh favorite Arena to play in favorite city like one maybe you had more success in or one you just love getting into that like a away rank um we say the Rangers is always fun MSG is always always MSG easy Barn to [Laughter]
Plan um that’s that’s up there it it kind of changes every now and then uh it’s always fun going home to to to Vancouver but um not a fan of the ice there really um MSG MSG the ice is great um Boston’s always fun going into yeah that um
We’ve always got good games against them so um and then it just gets more and more fun as you create rivalries and and you go through the playoffs it makes it more fun the next year I you know wish I tried it earlier a little bit more but
Won’t do that whole playoff thing but I mean since you just mentioned Boston too like that series that was kind of like the whole Turning Point like oh like what was the feeling in the room after you guys are down 31 I know like the famous speech from Chucky said we’re
[ __ ] coming back in this one and raw rah rah what was it just like like in that that first round absolutely it was you know you you uh we won the second game you feel it then you go home lose two um but I [ __ ] we felt the year
Before so much pressure when you have that season like you do you’re going back on to home ICE um Sean had that Breakaway too to end game five won we won the drawback and it was just it was just like controller died just watching him go back just like waiting and then
You got Brasi back in that I I mean a A system can help a goalie so much but you got someone as flexible and acrobat as that guy and then you you put him in our system and it’s just it’s unbelievable what he does back there but
But yeah you just kind of once we won that game and then you’re you’re going back home they got to go back to the Double Tree by the by the rank and that’s a [ __ ] honestly that’s what we’re saying make them make him go back to the Double Tree and um
Don’t that was your team model for playoff go make him get the cookies the free cookies yeah um and then uh yeah but like that game six at home was absurd yeah I think there was what four or five lead changes in the third period yeah yeah um I mean a tremendous amount
Of luck to go through it too I mean we were down with a minute left in in uh in game seven and I remember being on the ice you’re probably playing three of the last four minutes just absolutely exhausted just like you’re thinking as you’re on the ice like this probably
Isn’t going to happen for us and then Monty somehow squeaks one in and it’s just riding that wave it’s unbelievable was playoffs right you mentioned uh bosski like what what do you think happened like CU obviously he kind of struggled a little bit and lion lion saved you guys
Really to get into the playoffs just all of a sudden something clicked with him like you ever chat with him about that uh well he was playing extremely well I think I I think it was right around that Toronto time where Paul was yelling I
Think it was right before he got hurt or he got sick or something oh that was the beginning of it lion went on a run and then but but Bobby I’ve never seen someone so dedicated and dialed and Sam Bovi yeah Sami the Legend legend of MC David I wouldn’t know
Anybody my R finger [ __ ] I [ __ ] memorizing names um but yeah so I me you got all the confidence and someone that that that does that but I think I mean a goalie in in in a in an unstructured team you can only do much yeah how about
His watch collection isn’t it like out of this world bskis Bobby’s yeah is Bob it’s probably D I’ve never seen someone live so good like such a good life like you know just like his style I love it it’s like Russian like style like cardigan to dinner like Abie abber
Cromie tracksuit but it’s it’s just he’s he’s get like you we’ll go to like a restaurant he’ll get like the finest things on menu he’ll get like four Entre he’ll like eat like a king I absolutely love it like you know what I mean I respect it’s unbelievable
You’re making 10 spend it well deser and then he’ll go be at the rank to you work as hard it’s unbelievable it’s love to see it I know had the dad’s trip a couple weeks back was big wallt driving the pace C for everybody else that week

Well maned kidney like I said I was just say that seriously probably not anymore probably block number we we mentioned the you know the sort of Revival of the heavyweights well it might be a little bit of a ripple effect seeing what we saw in college over the
Weekend fights in college hockey they like seeing goalie goals in the NHL but [ __ ] doozy Friday night Arizona state was up in Alaska Fairbanks the far as far north as you go to find an NCAA team and you can’t get more opposite nicknames than the sundevils and the the
N nukes but what was wild there was a skirmish going on the corner the whistle and blown these two guys uh Dawson brunesci and H Tu Nest they left all the gear on the penalty BX just went Center I wait have you ever seen two dudes do that in a college game
Before I never have no I’ve SE I’ve seen um fights in in NCAA games but they’re totally like off of scrum and they start with the helmets off and like maybe one guy gets his helmet off and one guy has one glove on I’ve never seen and I’m
Sure it’s happen but I’ve never seen a square off no helmets on out of the box leave my stuff in the box cuz I know I’m going back in there actually no they’d be going to lock room get kicked out in college that was amazing and I don’t
Know what happened between those two prior but obviously they decided like when they were in The Penalty Box were’re doing this the view from The Penalty Box with the guy in Arizona State there’s somebody recording it behind and he’s like looking over at the guy you ready ready and they go out it
Was it was straight out of the East Coast League I actually thought it was a club hockey game because I couldn’t really tell by the Unis I was like what league is this and Merl is like that’s the NCAA it’s D1 so talk about a barn burner I mean that was they’re probably
Going to I think you get kicked out of that game and the next game the NC both players suspended for the season though both the uh Powers the coach both coaches suspended both players for the season oh what what God I would have sorority sisters
Lining up to suck my players [ __ ] if he [ __ ] did that that’s nails that that was one of the i’ never I honestly never seen that before where players left their gear in in the box and didn’t had you ever have you seen that any of you
Ever seen that definely I thought that was the most Nails thing I’d ever seen the fact that it was happening in college oh my God I’d got I’d have that guy getting n nit deals out the yin-yang along with the sity sisters lining up the kid brunsky he’s a fifth year
Probably I think he had like Alaska has a few games left in the season so you got to imagine he’s played four years at Maine went and played one year Alaska he’s thinking let me just end my hockey career with a bang here and go out with one of the only
What a way to go yeah what a way go round hey Round of Applause for this guy good job buddy and by all you spitting chicklets this show this guy some love he all for a great viral video on the way out five years he put his time in I
Hope he at least gets his degree um the the NHL linesmen and referees are like trained and taught how to separate fights the linesmen were in the corner in that one and then the main ref like trying to break it up him and then just
Going back Toe to Toe it was a legit fight they both were animals they both were willing to go I can’t believe that they the coaches I I actually thought that that somehow the coaches like were fine with it like I I knew that be Greg power’s quote was there’s no place in
College hockey for for moves like that apparently there is oh oh I still love the guy but I I guess I disagree with him the number one video out of college hockey this year there’s no place in that I mean take the suspension the league gives him or the
The the NCAA and then just be like all right buddy don’t do it again the um yeah like watching a fight like that where each punch these guys are trying to hurt each other it reminded me of uh there was one recently turbo tanv and
Garland did you see the did you see the was he was going ham hey actually uh yanm Mark and Coleman had a great tilt in the Battle of Alberta this past week I I I was like holy [ __ ] they were chucking them and I think Kane might
Have gone with Cadre and then there was another one too so Battle of Alberta never disappoints besides the fact that Calgary ended up on top in that one yeah make make hockey violent again and those ref should have got battle PID didn’t he look like remember Jeff Van Gundy wh
When he was holding on to Alonzo morning’s leg and he was just like getting whipped around like a little dog that’s that’s what the referee looked during that fight yeah he did the game had four game misconducts six disqualifications two guys got two disqual two guys got two
Disqualifications each I never saw that before 247 combined penalty minutes 190 of them were doled out with 11.1 seconds left in the game that’s when the officials just called it uh given Alaska Fairbanks the 3 to1 win Arizona State beat them the next night 43 and0 with a
Just 43 penalty minutes in that game sure the ref’s gave them talking to but just uh like I said almost unprecedented for college to see that fight I if uh if I would have been the kid fighting for ASU who who like now he’s done and known
That you would have been done I would have went full slap shot after that fight and I would I would have geared down right to my jaw I might even whip the fory out for the fans in Alaska people start puking everywhere it’s like oh Biz Jesus Christ yeah fcking salmon
Season the B Strike Up The Strip that’s that’s not for violence in hockey man uh buddy Jeff marck reported the ol is investigating the Sudbury Wolves shout out sberry shy about accusations that a bounty was placed on a man’s head God obligatory you can’t put a bounty on a
Man’s head uh during the Sudbury Barry game on j h January 18th Colts defenseman kashan heson delivered a hard legal hit the wolv for Nathan vov no penalty on the play Then aderson fought one of his teammates noan Collins uh the same two teams played three days later
Uh Barry didn’t dress heson according to sources for Amer word reached the Colts about the possibility of a bounty being placed on heson so the organization made the decision not to play him uh when asked about the alleged Bounty the OHL said it was investiga an incident wouldn’t comment further Biz have you
Ever heard of a bounty I know money on the board is one thing but an actual Bounty have you ever seen or heard of that in your care well uh I want to say Shawn pyton in the NFL ended up getting suspended a couple games because word
Got out that this was going on um at the junior level uh considering how Savage it used to be I would imagine this is something that happened in the past going back maybe 20 30 years ago the fact that it was written on the board pretty [ __ ] stupid but holy [ __ ] man
I mean we talk about the violence coming back in the game like in junior now bouny getting put on guys heads like I personally think it’s awesome if I had a kid who was playing hockey and that was my kid I would tell him hey that’s kind
Of like a badge of honor uh if an injury ended up resulting in it obviously my attitude would completely change off it you’re going to prison o other than if it was like a challenge fight if the guys were just like running at him to try to injure him yeah that’s when my
Wires would cross but holy [ __ ] man I don’t know what the [ __ ] is in the water up there in subury is has there been any there’s been no discipline so far it’s there’s an investigation going on yeah OHL still still look into it uh at La at
Last report so was it a dirty hit like have we have we heard what he did it said aters according to the article a hard but legal hit uh that that was delivered and I I guess I don’t know the other team didn’t like it I don’t if
There’s a history there but uh speaking of questionable decisions that people could see things we got to go to Arizona they terminated the contract to F at Adam rishka he posted an Instagram story looked like he was doing a late night table ski and apparently I mean I guess
He was know ketov I’ll tell you that you gotta be the dumbest [ __ ] of all time okay there’s one thing you’re so stupid to video yourself lining up blow but then to turn the camera around and put your face in it like he might have been able to say like oh my Instagram
Got hacked but to then literally put yourself in the video what is he thinking what is this guy doing from my understanding he said oh it wasn’t me from that night it was a different he had the same outfit on as as when they were at the gala so that’s
That’s that’s tough sledding and guys like from a serious side of it like obviously like blow is not a good drug speaking from her firsthand experience I’m gonna say I hope he’s all right I hope he doesn’t have like an issue like it seemed like he was just having a fun
Night out but if you’re 09 and one in the last 10 you can’t be flexing the vials on Instagram you just can’t be doing it I don’t care how good the Colombian Coke is you just can’t be posted in your story and from from a uh
A guy who’s had a buddy who was really banged up one night and thought he was sending a video with like a a like a like he was he was having fun with a girl and they were videoing it and he was trying to send it to her and
Accidentally posted it to his story on Instagram to wait up like four or five hours later later where it was on Instagram I think that maybe there was a possibility he was just so banged up and thought he was texting it to his buddy or or buddies you would hope
So yeah what what are you looking to accomplish other than having your contract terminated flexing a viola blow on Instagram with the AMX turned around I I I don’t know that’s why I said this guy might be the dumbest person I’ve ever seen seen and and we we make jokes
And ra is R but if you’re doing cocaine in this day of age with fentol I think you’re the most ridiculous insane human being like I’m telling you you’re playing rushan roulette so a little message to everyone listening younger kids you’re [ __ ] nuts right now if you’re doing cocaine this isn’t 1990 you
Have no idea what’s in it you have no idea where it came from and fair warning don’t do it like I’m just being honest like you’re it’s Russian Roulette do not even do it you’re crazy and then if you’re gonna do it don’t post it to your
Instagram story that’s that’s why I said off the hop on a serious note and from firsthand experience it fentol ruined the Rob bremore interview and it can ruin a lot more than that so don’t be [ __ ] around with the dummy dust uh yeah the yots had no additional comment
The nhlpa has 60 days to file a grievance on his behalf B you think the union will grieve it just you know just that’s what they do typically to protect the player off even the union might be like buddy we ain’t helping you on this one no I think that everybody deserves
Help that’s why I said like first off you just hope that it’s not like an addiction and it was you know but going back to what you said with the fentanyl don’t even don’t even do it anymore it’s don’t it’s it’s all junk you never know where you’re getting it from it’s
[ __ ] [ __ ] stop doing it when I hear like kids still are like going out like and getting Like Cocaine from random people I’m like buddy you’re like legit one little poke away from being dead it’s it’s crazy to me that people still do it maybe I sound like an old Boomer but
Stop yeah that [ __ ] fental shit’s a [ __ ] it’s caused so much damage ruined so many lives in this country worldwide yeah brutal [ __ ] well we got a little more positivity we could talk about here the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL they won 19 straight games they did
Lose on Sunday but uh nice little story in here B Cody hodin scored his first goal in eight years Thursday he had previously retired it was diagnosed with a a malignant hypothermia was away from the game for a while made a comeback so that was a nice little story there
During the winning streak they had two sh shootout wins seven shout outs but this was pretty crazy they lost on Sunday to the Grand Rapids Griffins they beat him four to2 that was the Grand Rapids Griffins 15th straight game with at least a point it was the first time
In AHL history that two teams faced each other while on point streaks of 14 games or more pretty wild stuff and the of course the 2011 2012 northwalk Admirals have the AHL record 28 straight wins I’m your boy CP so C that that that’s impressive as hell two incredible AHL
Organizations now Whit did you not lose to the Milwaukee Admirals in the final of the cder cup yeah I left uh right after my junior at Buu left went to wils bear and uh we went on an awesome run and we beat Bridgeport then we beat uh
Who we beat second round don’t remember beat uh Hartford in the third round and then got into Milwaukee and at this point I was like holy [ __ ] like we could to win the CER cup we got swept and playing in that Barn it was fun they had
A great like veteran team but it was they’ve been they’re good every year it seems like and they same with Rapids and they’ve done a great job with like bringing guys up to Nashville through that system right like they do an awesome job of preparing these guys uh
Be ready to play in the NHL and you know what in very similar similar fashion to the Bruins I know it’s a little different because Saros has been the guy but this Asar the 11th over yaroslav askarov askarov 11th overall in 2020 he’s ready and Nashville’s gota gota consider a time
Where all right like this is our guy this is our future and we we we had a very high pick 21 years old they’ve done a great job not rushing them but I think the days of uh Saros being the star net minder in Nashville are going to be
Coming to a to coming to a close because this kid it’s one of those players that um has no business in the AHL anymore and it was Vinnie troch when I played in San Antonio together with them and it’s uh stank koven right now who scored his
First goal for Dallas who’s lighting up the miners it’s some guys are just ready and there’s no there’s nothing more that they can accomplish and and that’s this goalie right now so watch out for him when he gets into the NHL he’s a monster and as far as Cody Hodson that that is
Such a great story to come back from that those can be some dark days guys especially with all the aspirations he had coming into the league he came in guns of Blazing and uh that’s a lot of time away to have to kind of deal with
What he did so for him to kind of get back into the game he loves I would love to get him on to talk about his story because I would imagine there’s probably a lot of kids out there who have been through similar experiences where their careers were ended short and maybe they
Never even found like the the resolution as to what was wrong so good for him for for for you know CL clawing his way back and into Pro Hockey and I I think it would be an amazing story if he could find his way back to the
NHL before we go any further here’s a few words from our good friends at laat Blue whether you’re at be League or just watching some hockey with the boys or gals you cannot find a better beer than a fresh or bad blue light lots of things are better together in life hockey of
Course getting some food family and friends golf but if you really want to take things to the next level drink some laat blue lights with your friends and live life to the power of we I can’t stop thinking back to September chicklets Cup oh man we were gasing the
Bat blue lights all weekend I’m sure Sabers Mafia has consumed their fair share of blue lights as well imagine how many we drank on this playoff run coming up going to be endless cannot wait for the playoffs suck down some laat blue lights and remember take a page out of
The laat blue light book and enjoy your beers together so you can live life to the power of we find laat blue light at labat usa.com slinder Biz your boy H Gary bman he does visit every city during the season I’m not sure how fans know that uh he’s
Going to be in Winnipeg this week but it’s a little more significant than typically typically carries but there’s a lot of concerns about the team’s financial situation right now uh in short you know they’re on the NHL’s radar due to the money situation season ticket holders there’s been a 27%
Decline in three years they went from 13,000 to under 9500 uh in Chim and M chib and he was personally calling season ticket hold just to ask them why they bail uh and fans were pissed they couldn’t buy like partial plans I guess the team would if you wanted to transfer
Your tickets they were charging people to do that which is absolutely [ __ ] outrageous to charge people to [ __ ] text tickets to someone or a friend or whatever uh it’s the NHL’s smallest permanent Arena uh with 15,22 fans for hockey they’re drawn at about an 87.4% clip right now uh the
Third lowest Mark in the league average attendance 13,36 uh lowest of any NHL team other than Arizona uh and they only get 15% of their tickets sold to businesses that’s another issue their business you had mentioned before they just don’t get the corporate sponsorship you know Winnipeg
Is a small town by uh NHL standards I would say the situation is far from dire but there clearly a concern here B if you heard any kind of scuttle bot about you know that the NHL was overly concerned or is just sort of keeping on
Top of things here well like even at the beginning of the year when they you know they had a they signed those two guys I thought they would have a little bit more fan support at the start of the year a lot of people were barking back
About ticket prices I didn’t think that they were that unreasonable but it comes down to the economy and how and how bad it is there and I guess the the the shitty thing is is we’re having this conversation in a year where they’re at the top of the league that’s the biggest
Worry about this that’s the biggest concern and you know I I remember originally tweeting stuff when you know they were getting the team back I was happy they were getting the team back but people were from there were saying we should have never lost it where I was
Speaking to players who were on the team when it happened and they just weren’t getting the fan support and of course there’s just not a lot of corporate sponsorships given the fact that they are in Winnipeg so it’s sad because I love to see Canadian markets Thrive and
Have teams but from a business standpoint I mean guys if we’re talking about a team who’s at the top of the league and they’re having issues staying afloat from a financial standpoint what’s going to happen in in in five years if they’re you know in the bottom
10 of the league so I don’t know man like the the reason why the NHL is trying to thrive in other markets especially American markets is places where like the economy never really gets affected by anything so it’s it’s brutal um I could see if this continues is that
They end up losing their team again like I could I could easily see in in five years that they want to move it out of there and we’re talking about a town of Winnipeg I want to say it’s about 900,000 surrounding areas so there are enough people to get people in the seats
But as far as the corporate dollars in which that it takes to kind of operate and run these teams now I don’t think that that’s ever going to change so I don’t know how much how many meetings you can have about it good thing is though the the owner is extremely loyal
I think he’s a local guy and he’s also a billy goat so maybe he’s okay leaking a little bit of oil till they try to resolve the issue but once again this might be an issue that they can’t resolve I think this is something where
Um and as good as Kyle Connor and and shley and hellu are like they could probably well any team could probably but they could really use like a IC IC franchise player right like if you have a McDavid or a Bard or one of these guys that just attracts people no matter what
Like they just want to go see him that might change things but if you’re talking about the economy and and the corporate money not being there that’s a scary proposition because as you said Biz like this if this were happening and they were a bottom five team in the
League okay to have the success in this happening that’s the panic and when you say it’s not a dire situation R I think it could be pretty quickly and you don’t want to see that because it’s Canada too that’s the other thing this is Canada this is hockey this is what people live
For up there and they got a team competing and and having a chance to win although I did say um I should say I had a player in the NHL on a team currently sitting in a playoff spot tell me that the Winnipeg Jets are the biggest frauds
In the league and that they’ll lose in the first round who wow I know holy [ __ ] go they’re not nearly as good as anyone there was a player on their own team wow really frauds know I was I was I was like wow I said could could that player on that
Playoff team end up meeting the Winnipeg Jets in the first round oh my God if wow I if they end up meeting will you say that they’ve met obviously we will not say who the player is but will you say that they’re playing in the first
Round no you [ __ ] can you ask your friend who said be a source to you guys can you ask your friend who said that if it if he would be okay with you saying that they have met obviously not disclosing who it is can you ask him
Because that would be so much good drama going in I don’t know let’s see how this plays out but but I was like holy [ __ ] I’m like that’s a ballsy quote man that’s Karma I know W might just F them up oh the playoffs I be here soon and
Are we going to get some more LTI Ashen inigin or what uh Vegas marstone is on the injured reserve due to a lacerated spleen He’s listed his week to week uh Vegas also put jack eel on LTI back on February 29th but right now they have
$15 million on LTI just between eel and Lena so they can go over the cap but you know they have those exceptions now to be placed on LTI long-term injury reserve a play a must Miss 10 games and 24 days while on LTI are a team can’t
Exceed the salary cap by the amount of salary on you know on that person’s contract a just injured reserve requires not playing for seven calendar days uh players can retroactively be assigned to a players on a do count against the cap uh we sh piz a couple years ago COV
Missed the entire 2021 season dropped in for the playoffs let it in points one another cup uh stone for Vegas last year he was on a February 20th he was activated April 18th just in time for game one of the playoffs team ends up winning the cup again the salary cap
Does not apply in the playoffs that’s the way it’s been designed you know I always say this too though good players a sacri players a sacrific too especially you know Superstars that’s another season or half season they can’t put stats up affects their resume their potential Hall of Fame voting uh but if
You’re hurt I don’t know you might as well take the time out and like what can teams go talk to their players I’m like all right I’m gonna get my surgery here so you can basically map it out so it plays out like this is that something
That a player yes they could but I I don’t think people people that get upset at this one like people are so mad at Tampa and now they’re furious with Vegas and if if somehow Stone comes back for game one of the playoffs I understand it
Don’t be mad at the teams be mad at the league these teams are doing what they’re allowed to do it’s it makes no sense to be fuming and Furious at these organizations when it’s the league who’s created this entire system so the thing is people I think actually believe like
All right here you we’re we’re putting you on ltir and then you’re going to be ready to go it’s like do you understand how impossible it would be just to plan it and do it they have to see like multiple doctors the league is out there checking to make sure these injuries are
Legit so it’s not like you’re all of a sudden like all right Bud time for you to go on ltir and as you mentioned players aren’t going to be like oh okay now kucherov that one is different because he misses so much at the beginning of the year that that they’re
Like all right just wait an extra month but to leave that’s that’s also legitimate though yeah no and that’s the all these injuries are legitimate that’s what I’m getting to these injuries are legitimate last year Stones injury it’s a legit injury now the question being as
They come back rip RAR and ready to go for game one there’s obviously some Shenanigans going on but why wouldn’t you take advantage of a of a a lack a rule or a lack thereof to be able to get more money on your roster all the league
Has to do is make it so that your roster game one or every game of the playoffs is Cap compliant I don’t really understand when this all went down like how they they figured all right playoffs it doesn’t matter like I guess we’d have to talk to an Asian or someone within
The PA to realize that or or understand that they didn’t see this coming yeah but but then it would be like what if a guy they’re not sure and it’s like okay it looks like he’s gonna be out for the full year even playoffs and then maybe you know halfway through the second
Round the guy can play that’s probably why they didn’t do the cap compliant through all playoffs no but I’m saying you can bring you as the Playoff starts you can be way over the cap but corre any players in the game have to be under the cap oh you’re saying that okay okay
So you you would say that even if they did pick up a guy to make up for that salary who is a a player of like a high skill level if you’re 7 million over because of his salary you would just have to sit him as a basically a healthy
Scratch for that game to be kep compliant wow okay I okay now I understand what you’re saying now so it can help you in the regular season and you can use it but then once the playoffs start like you can have as many guys on the roster with you can have a
100 million on your cap on the roster but the guys in the game have to be at the cap damn okay yeah that’s uh but then but then you’re like you give up all this stuff to get that guy yeah it’s is a very confusing conversation um you
But I just don’t want fans out there thinking like oh Stone’s not hurt there you can’t do that like no I what I what I no and uh it was a spleen that ruptured this time so we’re not joking around about the cap circumcision he’s actually injured right now same going
Along for Jack eikel now what I think that some teams do have the luxury of doing is like you said dragging it out where maybe this guy in a situation where they actually needed him to to make a playoff spot and they were fighting for their lives would rush back
A little bit sooner so maybe he would be playing at about 95 90% where some of these teams because they’re so ahead in a playoff spot and their their stats they have the luxury to say Hey listen we know you’re a little banged up we’re
Going to sit you out in extra half a month you know three weeks here you’re going to be 110% rare and a go come playoff time and we’re going to add this un another unreal player and by the time playoffs hits we’re going to hit the ground running with $100 million in cap
And just locked and loaded with four [ __ ] lines so I get what you’re saying I think that maybe in the next CBA much like we talk about how they need to figure out the the income tax situation to make it a More Level Playing Field because some teams who
Haven’t had the luxury of exercising this thing like a team like Edmonton has Edmonton done this at all no and and they they they’re they they have like 21 guys on on the roster too like there they don’t even have as many guys as you can have and they have
Just no money so if you’re a team like Edmonton you haven’t won a cup you know since CHR was a cowboy and you’re looking revved up for a playoff run what if they end up drawing Vegas uh first round playoffs all of a sudden eel’s back all of a sudden Stones back and
Because they had that cap space they’re able to go maybe even add gensel maybe even Smith to the lineup as well so you’re saying that yeah it’s kind of a [ __ ] thing but I guess it comes down to kind to like luck of the draw on the
Timing of these injuries I want to say landeskog did the same thing in Colorado didn’t they do that uh no no they haven’t dropped him in St no no no but when what the year they won it was he not injured uh going into playoffs too I
Want to say the last five Cup champs it’s been done by at least three of the teams where they had a guy come back first first game of playoffs yeah I just don’t I don’t get the anger towards the teams it’s like the teams are doing what
They’re allowed to do like if your team did it you’d love it yeah the league can’t tell you when to get surgery only the Buffalo Sabers can do that before we go any further I need to talk to you about rocket money do you find any subscriptions you forget about

Doctors couldn’t pinpoint anything he’ been given no specific diagnosis no medical term for the change uh he said I did not have some kind of accident I do not have cancer I don’t have dementia I haven’t had a stroke all of that’s been confirmed by MGH it doesn’t fit any slot
There’ been some guesses but he’s just been doing speech therapy to try to you know fix whatever the issue is but they haven’t given him a definitive thing but uh wa I’m just you know glad to hear he’s okay I mean he’s he’s still healthy he’s been tested well and all the other
Stuff and you know I know he’s not everybody’s favorite but he’s he’s kind of beloved in here in New England but Jack I I don’t know if you listen we just glad you’re healthy and you know keep plugging away with your with your therapy and hopefully [ __ ] things being helpful
He mentions in the article like that people were coming up to him like thinking he was sick and it’s almost like no I’m not sick which almost makes it like I didn’t say a word about his broadcasting because there there was the thought that he was going through
Something it’s you feel really bad for a guy right who’s done it for a long time and and I’m I’m not a huge fan of of of his calls but I mean for somebody to to just kind of lose their livelihood and lose the ability to do things the way he
Always did it I I feel so bad for him but at some point I think the Bruins are going to have to take a look and and the whole thing is it’s just really behind the play so if you watch the game it’s just and and and he mentions uh Andy
Brickley’s been such a great partner for him and helped him out but you know he’s just kind of really lagging behind the play and you’re watching the game like holy [ __ ] so I’m I’m rooting for the guy right I I I I I don’t love the way he
Calls a game but you never want to see somebody you know lose the ability to do what they love and not be able to get an answer that’s the hardest part is that he doesn’t know what’s going on so hoping hoping the hoping for the best
For him yeah frustrating as hell so get well Jack uh we want to extend the sympathies to the family and friends of Paul damato uh who died last week at 76 damato is a Massachusetts St who had a small but uh very memorable and influential role as Tim Dr Hook
McCracken and slapshot just a a small role in in a classic movie but uh it’s just an epic [ __ ] role he was actually bu uh the way his sideburns were he was actually the uh basically influenced the Wolverine character when they re re invigorated The Wolverine
Character back in like the 70s in the comic book Tim McCracken was the actual inspiration with the big [ __ ] pork drops like there pretty wild little story he also sh yeah yeah Prett pretty cool story his nephew Thomas actually reached out to me uh to say thanks you
Know with with chicklets we gave him a nice little uh uh tweet and on the Instagram too just to you know send our condolences there he was also in the movie The Deer Hunter as well if you never saw that he had a small very memorable role in that as well also want
To extend our condolences to the family and friends of Kenneth Mitchell he played Ralph Cox in Miracle he passed away at just 49 years old from ALS uh 5 and A2 years after his diagnosis so uh a couple sad stories in the hockey world the hockey film world but just want to
Pass along our sympath these condolences and hopefully everybody’s doing okay but uh Biz we got to get to you Sunday afternoon was I’m sorry Monday afternoon the match you and you and DJ Ked you got to give us the lad out on this what went down what an interesting character man I
Don’t I was with him for four hours I don’t think he asked me one question about myself oh that’s the worst dude dude I’ll tell you right now if you hang out with somebody and they talk about themselves the entire time it wasn’t even him talking about himself it was
Him organizing this team of 10 people he had around him who were just capturing videos of everything he was doing it they were editing it on like on in the spot like it was just a wild wild scene I I’d never experienced anything like
That but he is uh he is certainly a ball of energy now he was supposed to play a one hole match match against Charles Barkley for fun and he lost the first hole so he he like basically forced Charles to play him a best of three so
He ended up winning the second and third hole and he didn’t stop talking about it the rest of the day that’s all he would talk about so I kind of just like joined joined as a member of his cult and that’s all I really talked about the
Rest of the day either considering I was hanging out with him and I got sucked into his uh his we the best Vortex but um as far as the the the match is concerned buddy I got to meet Rory mroy hang out with Max hom uh Rose Zang who
Is a Phenom on the LPGA as well as uh Lexi Thompson who played in a PGA LPGA excuse me qualifier at the age of 12 years old like I didn’t really know I don’t know much about golf but I was doing some research with the cheat
Sheets they gave us I think she was like she joined as a member of the LPGA Lexi Thompson when she was 15 years old she has two brothers who have played on tour as well did you know anything about this rosang uh I I just remember hearing
About her at Stanford and it was it was like a a Bard coming up onto the scene and then I think she W she won a tournament like immediately too like she’s a true Phenom and she gave you a tip dude I saw you stripe one and then
The guy who tweeted the video tweeted yeah he shank the next one oh yeah the the one after the lesson I strip but rosang she was at Stanford and actually broke um record there she won 12 tournaments and even at one in one uh situation with in 10 starts she’d won
Eight of them yeah so that’s just an absolute heater I believe the only um only uh NCA golfer to win back-to-back titles NCA titles has anybody ever done that no right I maybe it was just LPGA but and as you just touched on in her
LPGA uh debut she won and she was the first LPGA uh member to win her debut since 1952 so she is just um you know exceeded every expectation she had coming in and she was a delight to be around and where you talk about this Royer mroy so the
Way that he was described to me uh you know emlan who won who who won the Green Jacket yep he he was with us and and I got to pick is BR he’s a great guy he does the CBS broadcast as the lead anchor and he described maroy as
Basically the Sydney Crosby whereas like Tiger Woods would be the Wayne Gretzky and just the way that he’s conducted himself the entire time so getting to hang out with him and just see the the class that he uses the way that he’s able to pipe the golf ball did you not
Say dude but it is [ __ ] insane the way that he coils and generates power and pipes a golf ball and he’s tiny he’s yeah he’s a bit of a unit now he was skinny when he came in but he’s Jack but he’s yeah he’s not a very big guy would
You not say probably the the the smoothest swing on tour I think that like there’s uh a lot of golf fans and analysts who would say he’s like the best driver of the golf ball maybe ever or or top three like he his swing is just so perfect and every single time
The Bal it’s just it’s amazing to watch I was I didn’t watch the match but I saw a highlight he hits a driver it lands like three feet from the hole on a par four he just he’s hitting the ball 330 yards he’s like 5’7 so I mean another
Prodigy I think like he was like five years old on TV in Ireland like they’re just they’re just these guys that are just born to do something and and the thing about mooy is he’s he hasn’t won a major in so long he had four so quick
And he just needs the Masters for the for the career Grand Slam and it just seems like it’s it’s almost in his head a little bit maybe this year it can change but he he’s kind of drawn some criticism this year because and I think it’s probably Val cuz he was all over
The live guys and then he kind of flipped his tune pretty quick and was like all right we’re being too hard on him I was too hard on him so all the live lovers like hate him and some of the tour guys are mad at him but in the
End he’s he’s had to have his hand in like so many different aspects of pro golf when he really wouldn’t have to right I don’t think tiger would have ever done that in his prime he just said give me my clubs and Sh don’t talk to me
So he’s been like an ambassador to the game and you got to give him respect for that all class and uh going back to his beginning his father worked at a golf club he was a a a bartender I think in the in the clubhouse and so he would
Just hit up the range every day right you just go there and just have access to it so you talked about the expectation of him being a Phenom and coming in and just lighting the world on fire but it’s more about also the way that he conducts himself you said about
Him being on fire for some of the live stuff imman seems to think that he was probably at some point going to be offered about 700 million to join the Liv tour that is party that’s pretty [ __ ] up to turn down $700 million um when Rory and I don’t know
The exact age I think it was 12 years old but don’t quote me but it was right around like say 12 to 14 his dad made a bet that he’d win the British Open by like year Whatever by the time he was like 21 or something he put a future on
His kid yes and he did it how much should he win I don’t know I I can Google it incredible like that’s how good he was the dad got a future on him when he was Dad won six figures it says oh my God good for him but just like
Getting a hang out with them and hear them Josh back and forth on the course and see the production that uh the match puts up it’s all brought to you by I think was it Capital One and uh it was it was unreal man I I I I don’t know I
Didn’t really belong I don’t really know why I got the nod but to everybody behind the scenes who set up that whole production it was an incredible experience at a place called the park and it was much it was in West Palm much like where we went in Boston where it’s
A public golf course and you know people can bring their kids there and they got like like ten tennis courts they got an unbelievable area where you can sit out and eat and enjoy the sun too and it’s just kind of a bit of a free-for-all and
Makes golf a really fun atmosphere there so thank you to everybody who had who who uh made it a pleasant experience and uh I’ll I’ll never forget the the the day where I got to hang out with DJ colled so he was he was uh 15 and he he
Made the bet that his son would win the Open Championship by the time he turned 26 he got a 500 to one 500 to one odds and he won it when he was 25 wow just remarkable I thought would you think it might have been higher the
Odds with I mean just because he where he was so young I think he was that good I think at 15 he was that good I remember playing royal royal Port rush and he grew up at like the club next door um in Northern Ireland and we were
Playing the course it was really hard I I was with Mike Commodore Henrik Zetterberg and Jacob markstrom and and everyone was struggling you know you missed the Fairway it’s a lost ball we’re like holy [ __ ] and the guy’s like you want to hear something that’ll make
You puke I’m like yeah he goes Royal maoy shot 60 here from the back teas when he was 13 13 years old yeah he was a he was a legit Prodigy like there was never a doubt on on what he’d do so it’s pretty cool well he won
All the skins yesterday little little fake news too uh with little no no laying up they they mistakely reported or they reported well I don’t know because then bis said fake news with DJ colled and the and the guy from No up wrote me he said your boy I yeah I would
Say that after uh some serious thought I think that maybe khid was lying to me so um to the no laying up Podcast my apologies for reporting fake apolog on my fake news they were pretty pissed he when I sent that video out they were like well
Our sourc are saying I bet you he did think he was playing and that’s probably why he roped Charles into doing an extra two holes and then would saw video I saw your video like addressing fake news and you’re just like that’s fake news right and he’s like yeah I’m better than
Charles bar I’m like I don’t think he really address the the fake news there but as you said I mean this is a guy who has people carry him around places so his Michael Jordan shoes don’t get dirty so in the end we’re not really going to
Expect some reality coming out of DJ khid I think he lives in a little he lives in his own bubble yeah Jesus that I’m now living in I got a correction from last week Jak Clemens as the nephew of Clarence Clemens not his son I I

Detroit has been one of the top 3 teams in the league since the new year and they literally haven’t mentioned them since Perron got suspended. The podcast has turned into just a superstar pod, it’s just leaf’s and matthews, oilers and mcdavid, pens and Crosby and maybe some ovi talk. It’s so frustrating that the wings never get mentioned.
Glad he's healthy, but Jack Edwards needs to retire.
It kills me to see Crosby have to go through this for the end of his career because of Dubas’ terrible trade bringing in Karlsson….
Doing coke get your contract terminated but gang rape get you paid leave. sick league
The Bruins would do the most boys club thing ever trading swayman
Amazing kane tribute, Chellios jersey retierment on an amazing, well recieved, widley viewable network, NHLN
1:10:00 ❤️
Biz could be 200 miles from the nearest pair of ice skates and still get jammed up on the wall
Pasha still found a way to weasel his way into an episode before his sussy is over
Pasha is a joke.. most annoying fool in all of barstool
Bless YT for allowing 1.5 times play speed 😂
It was pierre luc dubois that said the jets were frauds 😂 kidding
Whit’s source is a coward for saying that but staying anonymous
The devils fired their coach with 3 games left in the season, and won the cup
I'm not doggin Kuch, he's amazing, but the talk about him on here is actin' like he's on the Sharks or something. Tampa has PLAYERZ.
Awesome having Reinhart on! Great stuff!
Hahahaha Biz fell for the fake Chara quote about Lindgren. The point still stands and it’s all true, but I found that funny.
2:26:48 “cap circumcision” 😂
I’m a Habs fan, but i don’t want to see the Jets leave.
How did you not talk about the hottest tean in the league???? The Red Wings are on a 6 game heater & you waste time talking about the Toronto mafple leafs!!! 💩🍁
Biz no disrespect I love the pod and you guys but I think the channel would be at 400k atleast if there was a dial back on the sex stuff. Especially the gagging noises I just want the takes and doubt I'm the only person who thinks this
Can't help but feel like chelis jersey retirement was a fuck you to Seabrook 😐 2 cups and 15 seasons as a Blackhawk
Get Adam Ruzicka on the pod
Biz is the man. Cap Circumcision… beauty
Luc won’t make the playoffs with the kings
just had a spectrum commercial in all spanish haha
I like how Whit says a rival player told him "the Jets are frauds" like it's some insider scoop. If the player who said it isn't a bitch he will let Whit say his name on the pod and stand on business.
Buddy was quick to throw Kodak under the bus mentioning the strap🤦♂️ then the boys didn’t even take that out the podcast… ouch
NHL Blackouts are as bad as Spittin Chiclets game cast not being available in Canada… RA sort yourself out before you worry about the NHL
Pasha looks like he could be luongos son
Great point for Rempe to get some advice on training from a vet. Tanner Glass works for the Rangers organization. I would think he probably has been working with him.
Bro no disrespect but your drink tastes like f**** ass water that s*** is so sour and disgusting you can't even feel your face after a few sips I would always laugh laugh at my ex and say your career was better than your drink
Biz getting dialed in on the nickname talk lol
Bruins need to get back to basics as far as D goes!! enough of this run and gun shit, clear the front of the net!!!!
I love rempe but bizz completely forgot that Xhekaj is the guy that revived the heavyweight title already
stop putting g on pod he's a loserrrrrrrrrrr
Adam henrique to Boston calling it now
Gotta love just watching biz with his hand on his horn all episode
I can’t see Winnipeg jets selling any less season tickets next year with all the new season ticket packages available now and with how good the jets are doing this year. Before this season started everybody thought jets would be shit (which is why nobody wanted to buy season tickets for this year). Last couple games I’ve went too recently have been sell outs.
Definitely Jamie benn who called out the jets
Love ya Sammy! Max and Griff were awesome too! Im proud to say I worked with ALL 3 of you!
I can totally see Lafrenière having the same career trajectory as Reinhart
Biz playing pocket pool
These guys just refuse to acknowledge the wings cause they’d all be taking a major L since they said we’d be terrible this year
Biz describing these kids coming up that are third and fourth liners these days as "vanilla latte's" was perfect and how I've felt for awhile , I've just been describing them as default players like in a video game for years, nameless faceless nothing they just fill a spot and add nothing. at least a decade and a half ago the leagues third and fourth liners had character, they were fighters or just grinders or big personality guys nowadays they are none of those, boring.
