It’s my duty to please the booty and M got mad at me the coach and he goes Jesus Christ why don’t you just wear two nines and I went okay switch the car please please please never do that yep hello everybody and welcome to episode 487 of spit and chicklets
Presented by Pink Whitney from our friends at New Amsterdam Vodka here are the Bas Sports podcast family what is up gang we’re headed into the stretch Run for the season a pretty wild trade deadline let’s jump right into it but first breaking news happy 39th birthday to Paul B dare wish happy
Birthday say happy birthday to this guy nobody text him [ __ ] texted me I blocked his number don’t you dare wish me a happy birthday I didn’t know said it before where were we in uh it was it Newport yeah Newport Newport and I said I you know what I’ve I’ve completely
Changed my mind since you you called me a a grumpster for saying that and today I’ve been getting the text in and I have a day off and it’s actually felt quite nice to wake up and G I think G you were one of the first people to text me buddy
So I love you I’m a huge birthday guy always even if I’ve met you once or twice I’ll wish you a happy birthday not only did you text me you posted the IG photo with the tag in it too so I said you know what you you got me in the mood
For my birthday today G and good graces for the next contract negotiation there you go there you go it’s all yours now uh going back to the trade deadline in incredible job by Game notes you Sean whoever’s was involved setting that up Whit you going on with the [ __ ]
Oilers outfit I mean for a guy half Oilers outfit then the other half was a Russian helmet my helmet from Russia oh they was that a bow 4,000 oh yeah I rocked that I is that a 4,000 the old school one the 4500 that’s the only
Helmet I have okay so Nike well I I want to say you’ve worn different helmets like wasn’t Easton paying you at some point yeah no but I’m saying that’s the only helmet I have I don’t have any other helmets but I didn’t even I never wore this helmet in the NHL oh
Okay cuz I was going to say I think Bower 4000 will go down as the best helmet of all time unless you had a big noggin and you had to do the one with a really thick thick foam so it looked a little weird at the back and most guys
Who played in the show know what I’m talking about you know there was a couple guys who like rocking them but they had the huge melons and they just didn’t look as good as having a medium size it would like cut off like the back end their head you’d see like half the
Okay so I have a confession to make for a little bit I wore the 4,000 but I wanted to fit in the medium so bad it was on its like last screws to where but why did you want the medium so bad because the large has the thick foam and
It looks stupid it’s all about the gear wear Bud come on when you’re sitting on the bench for as much as I am like I I know but neither one of us would like gear wear like great I’d say I I know you unreal gear Weare if compared how
Bad I was to how I wore my equipment I think I would go down as one of the greats but I think you were way better with the tongues out and Junior and then you went to shin pads over the tong okay I know but my boots got so heavy
Naturally that I couldn’t keep wearing the graphs cuz once those things got and and obviously even in the NHL they would only give me one pair of skates a year because they’re like Biz we’re not getting you two pairs of skates a year you you got you got to play Above 55
Games to get two pairs now talking about gear where I’ll never forget there was uh speaking of bow I want to say uh Duncan Keith was one of the last players to maybe be still be wearing those Bowers and they were the ones where you would still paint the toe cap that was
Like a like a cloth material and nobody on our team still wore them and they were getting punched out in our room like Stan was doing them Stan Wilson and I’m like who skates are those he goes Dunc and Keith and I’m like why is he
Doing it here he goes I guess they kind of just do it on the road cuz he wears a new pair and every like five games so Duncan Keith was wearing a new pair of Wheels ra every five [ __ ] games that’s and he was using close to a roll
Of tape around his ankles like every single period okay he he was a big ankle tape guy too so anyway going back to the to your to your entrance and all the guys you had on during that trade deadline thing Bravo boys that was an unreal setup even you popped your head
In ra yeah a little bit little bit you were more there to talk about all your futures right how many Futures mer did bring them up we actually did we got a a final tell 11 teams I have Futures on I okay yeah all right so I was my wheels
Are spinning and we were talking last episode a little bit about the gambling so are you not essentially gambling is kind of like a hedge it’s all this like hedge algorithm and even if you end up hitting one did like it’s like yeah I want a future but it’s like oh overall I
Lost 1100 bucks yeah well basically if he hit one he wouldn’t lose yeah I mean if for example if like Nashville won the this year I’d be sitting pretty because you know they’re 76 to1 I got a a ticket on them uh but actually I don’t I don’t
Even think they’re my biggest ticket actually I I can’t remember at the top of my head but yeah you you basically throw them all out there if one hits and a pays for the rest of them and you make a nice little profit man I mean so you
Have you have how many out there for futures for teams 11 out of 32 teams so one third okay so if the lowest one hit it would pay for all the bets and then some I mean if a few of them would would yeah I mean I would say at least half of
Them would would pay for yeah all the bets that lose and then a bunch more I mean they definitely make a profit but either way uh boys a couple notes before we Dive Right into all the trade stuff uh we got a couple interviews we’re
Going to get to a little bit later they going to be a little later in the show we have Justin Thomas uh the excellent golfer with you’re other golf expert on the show where where is he at the I guess the golf Spectrum where does he
Fall with as far as like top 10 top five I would say one of the most wellknown names in the game he’s got two majors I think he has I want to say like 15 to 16 PGA Tour wins I think we go over it in
The interview but we did this a while back before his season began and um so it’s obviously a little late but it’s it’s it’s a great interview the guy’s the man he he kind of started following us on Instagram a while ago and granelli got in touch with him came on awesome
Guy and i’ had kind of been hard on him before about the time he got the dude kicked out of the tournament in Palm Beach for yelling get in the bunker when he hit an iron shot off the 16th T but in the end it was a blast talk we’re
Going to put that at the very end just after all the hockey talk but it was awesome for for at least me and I think Biz enjoyed it as well just talking to a high level um major champion in on the PGA tour it was good time I I forget did
We bring up the fact that you chirped him about that I don’t know if I did I pussied out have you changed your mind on that because if a guy yelled that at me I’d probably no I would still I would still say like you kind of got to take
That like he just I think he got the guy booted at what what if you would have challenged him to to a scrap what would you have thought then if who Thomas challenge him to a SC I know he wouldn’t do it but like what if the goty what if
A golfer’s reaction instead of get un booted saying [ __ ] you [ __ ] square up would you be like loving that for golf if you don’t have a hat tip or you know props to that I don’t know what’s wrong with you that would be probably one of the all-time golf moments don’t
Get them booted I I I could see that going down on live on the Liv tour just but then they just behead you you beat all right were you tear that one up too oh he beat me to the punch on that one I was like should I say it
Should I say it oh [ __ ] man uh also we got uh St Louis Blues Legend uh Kelly Chase he joins us for a little bit he’s been uh dealing with a bit of Health paddle he have he has an announcement he makes on the show we’re got to get to
That a little bit later and also I know a lot of you folks have been clamoring for the next sandbagger Thursday 6 o’clock Johan Avery Kevin con oh my God this one this one is so ridiculous and I I laughed I mean I know I say this every
Time posha does such a great job just putting these things together bleep the name oh [ __ ] yeah still that scumbag does such a great job doing doing the entire kind of cutting and and putting it all together but it was I was laughing out loud the whole time
Watching it Avery and Conley together like their Dynamic is just something else and it turns out to be I think one of the most memorable sandbaggers we’ve done so Thursday at 6:00 guys I guess that’s good we have Justin Thomas we had a golfer on the same week we’re dropping
A sandbagger had a lot of questions of when’s the next sandbagger this Thursday night tune in Isn’t it nice having a few guys on where you’re like just roll the cameras we can just sit back and enjoy the show this one well well and then you
Don’t even know what what’s going on in their cart and that turns out to just be its own little mini story within the match so yes I I highly recommend checking this one out Flu Game it was my it was my flu match too I was okay so normally I’m a
Little bit better when I’m on the sauce golfing especially my putting my putting is a Dr a little bit and I don’t golf as much during the winter because I’m traveling around [ __ ] you know doing TNT and all this this nonsense so when you showed up and
You were sick I thought we were [ __ ] cuz I was brutal on that trip I was throwing up at like 4 in the morning and I just remember thinking like we’re done we’re [ __ ] we’re going to lose we’re going to lose and then just watch the
Match that’s all I’ll say just watch the match Whit Here Pink Whitney time the discussion weekly about new Amsterdam’s own pink lemonade flavored vodka pink Whitney where it’s at and March guys March Madness St Patty’s Day um I like the saying in like a lion out like a
Lamb and for any of you youngsters out there maybe people without a brain do you understand what I’m saying it’s still winter so it’s coming in like a lion but at the end of March Spring’s right there technically I believe it is spring Maybe and then it’s a it’s a lamb
It’s just a baby lamb and he’s all warm and you know why he’s warm he because he’s drinking pink Whitney and he’s doing a shot he’s doing a nip or he’s got the big 1.75 bottle and the little lamb he’s just sipping on that and his
Mom’s like do you want to just drink from my nipple no no no I got my pink Wy and that’s how Lambs stay warm now maybe I’m reaching a little bit on that one but like I said St Patty’s Day Green beer and pink Whitney shots on the side
March Madness I’m going to be at barol headquarters in Chicago for March Madness Dames uh days one and two of the tney and I’m telling you the nips are going to be flying if we get an over in the first half boom if we get a win boom
It’s just going to be one of those things where people are going to have to drink get involved everybody rides like Merl says for pink Whitney so that’s why we appreciate everyone out there drinking it go to your local bar order up a pink Whitney on the Rocks order up
A shot order up pink Whitney with an energy drink whatever floats your boat whatever you enjoy pink Whitney’s where it’s at Shout Out New Amsterdam and Shout out all you thank you for your support we love you all pink Whitney new Amsterdam’s Z take your shot boys Dre deadline wild week Biz if
You’re a fan of Vagas man you have to love how much this team just puts the [ __ ] balls on the table every trade deadline they go out they get Noah Hanahan the biggest defenseman on the trade deadline market then they get Anthony mantha from the capitals then
Name nobody had out there nobody even thought he was going to get traded Thomas hurdle San Jose shocks heing what I think the second year of his deal uh 8year deal they get this guy this team just [ __ ] chews him up spits him out and [ __ ] wins and you don’t like it
Biz what’s the problem with this they put the [ __ ] eyeball emojis out the night before just trolling the [ __ ] League like lick my ball bag it’s diabolical now I I love it I don’t have a I don’t have like a horse in the race so to speak cuz I just love all this
Madness that’s been happening this year but as I said on TV and Whit you’ll agree with me if Mark stone is ready to go game one Soup To Nuts Ferrari out of the shop and he’s putting up a point a game and their [ __ ] their centers are so deep where Chandler Stevenson’s
Playing the [ __ ] Wing who was one of the best centerman of all of playoffs last year is it not a little bit suspicious the this is Cap circumcision at its finest four years in a row and I don’t want people to turn this into me saying that Stone’s faking this injury
But I think we were on a phone call with okay and ra it’s not faking an injury wait you talked about if you had to get your spleen removed it’s like a three to four month process where you’re coming back I think it’s longer for like removal his is lacerated
So have any of us reached I haven’t do we know how long you’re out with a lacerated spleen how does that happen I think it’s three to I think it’s like three to fiveish months until playoff do but it depends on the severity I Biz I
I’m so happy you said like none of us are saying Stones fake and anything and my video that I made if people didn’t see it it’s on Twitter it’s on chicklets in my own Twitter it was just an initial reaction and it was infuriating to me that they
Went out got hurdle I’m I’m going to so so everyone knows they’ve had moments with their kids with their wives with their spouse it doesn’t you just overreact that’s part of life now no one’s ever proud about overreacting I overreact okay I’m I’m disgusted by this team but it’s jealousy it’s jealousy
It’s jealousy and it’s the fact that my team can’t and hasn’t done it as as as by the way other teams have done this yes kucherov made a joke of it sitting there crushing Bud Lights laughing making t-shirts about it so it’s not just Vegas Vegas has done it above and
Beyond now now here’s the thing when I say jealousy I wish my team had $130 million salary cap when roster when everyone’s when everyone’s healthy but they don’t but Vegas doesn’t give a [ __ ] and in the end as I said last week which is why my video made no sense because I
Said blame the league it’s true this is on the league and it for Vegas fans to sit there and enjoy it it makes sense cuz their team isn’t breaking a rule I know it’s crazy I know it’s crazy but they’re not and at the time of seeing
Hurdle get there I just said I’m so sick and tired of this team doing this but this team competes this team doesn’t give a [ __ ] this team will cut and gas any player that they’ve had flurry patri ready now it’s probably going to be marsho I don’t think they can resign Mar
No no no I I got a theory on this we’ll get to it later I got a theory on March so let’s keep moving it along this team is willing to to do whatever it takes to win they don’t care about feelings they don’t care about guys being attached to
The city they’re like [ __ ] you what’s the what’s that movie R when Ben uh Ben Affleck’s giv the uh the speech boiler room right remember he’s just talking about he’s just like you know I don’t even remember the line just I remember he has a message and then it’s all about
Just I don’t care we want to win we’re trying our hardest every single season to win now when it goes back to the ltir the league has an issue there is no doubt about it there is a there is an issue here at this point okay I don’t
Know how you address it I mentioned before about having a salary cap in the playoffs or at least having your roster that game every particular game of the playoffs matching the salary cap but here’s the thing guys when Stone and all these other players come back why are
They not why are they not playing game 82 with a regular you’re telling me you’re healthy enough to play game one of the first round but three days prior you couldn’t play game 82 of the regular season that doesn’t make sense to me well because the cap the cap is still in
Effect because they they would they’d be over the cap I understand already but that’s what we’re saying there’s issues that they’re they’re ready to play and I’m getting we’re getting called conspiracy theorists online for this okay so let’s say this let’s say Stone comes back game one he’s a point per
Game player they march on to repeat a Stanley Cup champions but next year same time when he goes on LTR again and they add Patrick mucket [ __ ] Mahomes to the [ __ ] team with his salary cap and they go on to win a third one I’m just
Going to say there’s a bit of a [ __ ] pattern going on here that’s all we’re trying to say so all right if it’s a case of a guy saying you know what we got we’re about even if I came back a month from now I’d rather just take the
Four weeks leading into playoffs relax a little bit keep skating stay in shape and then boom you hit hit the [ __ ] playoffs game one primed and ready to go and it just so happens you’re now $10 million over the cap and you were able to make probably the two biggest deals
At the deadline as a result of it they George MC and Kelly McMan are two of the smartest most diabolical people in management and now that they got [ __ ] bill Foley in the mix who’s got who who’s a billy goat through and through it’s the most insane Trio they
Are so [ __ ] far above of everybody else as far as how they’re manipulating everything and they deserve to be applauded for it it’s you ever see the show pinky in the brain pinky in the brain bra I know the song I never saw I mean yeah one is a
Genius the other’s insane it’s like that that’s what we’re [ __ ] dealing with here so all right as I said though there is not a fan out there that wouldn’t want their team to be doing this that that’s just a fact it sucks when it happens against you my favorite team
Happens to be in the same division as them and they’re probably going to end up playing them in the first round now yes Vegas right now sits as the second Wild Card they’ve been one of the worst teams in the league since late December legit like bottom 10 team in the league
Since late December you got to think that they figure it out and that they probably overtake the LA Kings for third in the Pacific and God Oilers Vegas round and I mean talk about an absolute disaster in the making with the depth if everyone’s healthy but here’s the other
Thing maybe maybe they know that that stone is out like like that that could be part of it now would you come out and say it no why would you give that away to anyone it makes no sense but there could be a chance may maybe it’s actually like all right we understand
This guy’s not coming back till like miday late May if if if at all so we don’t know there’re so many questions that remain to be answered but every fan including myself that is furious and sick and tired of this wishes their team could do it that that’s just how that’s
Just how this goes man and until the league does something about it in the next CBA I I don’t see it changing because and and like unless it’s golf unless it’s golf if you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying okay so at some point here the League’s going to have to
Address this or this will continue to be a story year after year after year but for them to get hanen and Shore up that D that was already really good even Martinez is on the IR when Martinez comes back like white Cloud’s probably coming out of the lineup it gives them
Five lefties I believe and only one righty and pro but they’re deep dude they’re deep everywhere B Stevenson might be playing Wing if they’re all healthy for Christ’s sake so I don’t know what what’s going to happen with stone nobody does that’s the whole question but just to see them do it
Again it’s one of those things where a Vegas fan loves it they’re just taking it all in they’re drinking our tears and I can’t blame them for it but I’m going to keep crying until the Oilers smack them in the mouth in the first round and
That will be a series where even if Edmonton gets through if they do play how are you going to play another three round to win the cup getting your [ __ ] pumped in by Vegas all series even if you do get by him uh as far as that
Question uh with game 82 versus round one game one I I feel like that could be almost any injury in the NHL like you know I might feel like 90% he could play that game and maybe like oh [ __ ] I’m going to wait till the playoffs that you
Know what I’m saying like you know there’s such a fine line I think between when a guy is ready to play versus not ready to play and I mean is it ultimately the player’s decision or or does he tell the trainer or the coach how does that exactly go yeah I guess
It’s the player’s decision but what I’m saying is like obviously you’re going to wait till the first game of the playoffs because you have the cap issues but the the real thing is fans are looking at it like you’re ready to play like there’s there’s just there there’s just not many
Injuries that within 2 days span all of a sudden you’re ready to go but a couple days prior no chance I could play but it but like I’m saying with this whole scenario that’s what you’d be doing that’s what you have to do when you’re working around the system the way they
Are and like I mean maybe the hockey gods and Karma for this manipulation said to me on the phone what what what if what if they miss playoffs they’re not that like there’s a chance I think there there’s a snowball chance in hell but it’s it’s there’s a
Chance it’s just like too big of a it’s right now it’d be Minnesota there’s seven points back six points back of them and Vegas has a go game in hand and we should probably wait to talk about this I think we had it later in the outline after that magic in Minnesota
After that [ __ ] move they pulled off do you want to talk about it now hey or do you want do you want or do you want to wrap up Vegas I was thinking there how old’s marcha so uh I want to say he’s around 33 is so
Would you say that a he’s got 35 goals this year right I 33 years old my assumption in order to keep him is they offer him an eight-year deal which at that age is not very common correct at what real low money real low
A at at a a they they’re going to figure out the aav and we might be surprised at how low it is but they got the money to frontload it and pay it in signing bonus and maybe by [ __ ] year seven or eight he ain’t even [ __ ] playing anymore but they
Don’t give a [ __ ] they’re winning cups now they don’t like there’s no like hey here you go man we’re going to help you out we’re the Vegas golden knights you’ve been here since the beginning the band of Misfits the cup final run then the Cup Championship I understand see
You later don’t tell the do I hit you in the ass that’s what they do but I’m telling you there’s but but but there’s a number there’s a number I understand that he could probably go out there and get like a color deal where it’s maybe
Like a four-year deal and it’s uh it maybe it’s like in the seven and a half eight range I get that that he could go get that but you’re telling me if he’s offered like an eight-year deal at like 625 and they’re [ __ ] L and they’re I think that’d be a
Lot okay maybe even a little bit lower but I’m saying is is you not thinking free agency that somebody’s going to offer a more than 625 a year at scoring another 40 years the guy want a [ __ ] con Smite yeah I just think it’s more likely with the history of that team that
They’re like thanks for everything see you later bud and I understand that and I’m telling you is I bet you they’re going to pull another rabit out of their ass they’re going to keep their [ __ ] Mr Clutch the the guy one of the original Misfits and they’re going to
Lock him into a long-term deal and they’re going to keep it at a good number where they can keep them and they’re going to frontload it and bonus the [ __ ] out of it and and guarantee it whereas if though maybe on the back ends of the years he’s not even playing
Anymore who knows but they’re going to be able to figure out a way to keep them and I get your how in the past they have been ruthless but you also don’t want to P part ways with your K SMI guy and a guy who’s got 35 this year and probably
Going to light it up again in playoffs you don’t want to part ways with that guy he’s a foundational I think if you win again you’re just like thanks I this is an argument that we’ll be able to have once free agency or once once his extension is signed but but here’s the
Thing but you brought it up and I and I was think I was thinking about it last night and I go I bet you they think they’re going to be Cutthroat with marchie and I go no they’re going to bring him back and they’re going to find
A way to squeeze him in because they’re [ __ ] 10 steps ahead of everybody these guys pinky in the brain um but then they go out hannahan had two assists the other night against Detroit they win 5-3 mantha who is kind of a notorious dog I’d say not not the good
Dog not like he’s a dog it’s kind of like dude he’s like a lazy dog right now but you getting that winning culture and it’s similar to KZ Nets off going to Carolina and you’re like we’re going to just get get this guy into how we do
Things and he’s going to figure it out and it’s sink or swim so amazing deadline for them again do I hate the golden knights yep do I respect the hell out of that GM and that President yep so in the end they are right now crushing
Let’s see how this all plays out but if you’re a fan and you’re saying that you didn’t you wish your team didn’t do this you’re you’re flat out Ling well and and and another thing too ra we have a guy in management with the Florida Panthers Luongo sending out [ __ ]
Gifts of the wrestler who’s the wrestler coming out it’s like a famous gift Undertaker was it the Undertaker Oh I thought it was a different Undertaker with the fake cast on in the wheelchair like we’re not the only ones who think this is going on we got management and
All he wrote was game one right yeah well there are actually 16 teams currently are utilizing the LTI right now so it’s I mean half the league is is utilizing that lot a rule right now so you know it’s a lot R including business leavs to to to what extent yeah but
You’re saying that Buddy when it’s like kingberg like he’s done he’s out he’s gone he’s on [ __ ] kingberg island with roboda okay the other thing about Vegas Biz is that they’re just so successful that like teams are like it’s been six or seven years since they’re in
The league and they’re in the [ __ ] hunt every season Buffalo hasn’t been in the playoffs since like what 2010 yeah so it’s it’s it’s it’s more about jealousy and I’m one of them uh B you mentioned that the Nashville Minnesota game the other day first off Nashville
Man that was a team that looked dead in the water about a month ago four points out of a playoff spot of course we talked about before the U2 console got canceled they end up winning eight in a row got jumped right in the back in the
Playoff mix they 80% chance to get in the playoffs right now they ended up picking up uh Anthony B uh bolier uh and Jason Zucker a little depth for the playoff Rush here but Sunday’s game I I don’t know if you guys had seen this before it went to overtime uh Nashville
Tied it late with on a power play Minnesota pulled the goalie in overtime so they had a 4run three they ended up winning the game but if they had lost that game they would have got no points uh did you guys weren’t aware of that you said Jaz our stat statistician is that
Statistician I think I got the second one right um who did the the [ __ ] uh aew promo too he had a [ __ ] night on him but he pulled up this stat so it was first done in the KHL by Sergey federov and where you know the team that he took
Over for they obviously have a a highflying offensively skilled team but in the KHL in overtime you still end up getting that point so he was able to be successful on it and it ended up going viral like the clips from the KHL did uh then more recently and Merles ended up
Bringing it up on Game notes he said that it’s happened in timra they started doing it in the Finnish league so I don’t think in that League either you get penalized where if you get scored on it happens but Merl said who is going to be the first coach that has
The balls to do this in the NHL I I did Merl’s on his podcast on Game notes mentioned that that you don’t get the point or was he also on that no so he didn’t mention it so I had no clue but I had no clue people might not say oh it’s
As ballsy as you think because they need points right now if they don’t [ __ ] do everything in their power to get two every night they don’t have a chicken dicks chance of making it but I don’t think anybody in their right mind thought this was going to happen flurry
Started coming up the ice so all of us at the panel are like oh like I don’t see the ref’s arm up like is the back ref’s arm up and then it kind of came back and then flurry had to return a little bit and then you could see both
Refs it’s like what the [ __ ] is happening here and then he makes a beine for the bench and they throw at the other guy and then all of a sudden you see like one guy were I’m like did they pull the [ __ ] goal in overtime and
Then one guy in the crowd kind of stands up and then next thing you know everybody’s on their feet being like holy [ __ ] [ __ ] here we go and they pull off who was it who had the primary assist was it zuk Carell yeah it was sick dish but everybody in the building
Thought he was going down to Eric anck and he’s staring Eric sck right in the [ __ ] eyes and he turns the stick over and slides that CR I to bro and that shot Baldi Baldi Bal what I say Brody Brody yeah sorry sorry Baldi Baldi couldn’t have been a perfect shot 12
Inches off the ice glove side and what an incredible [ __ ] game with and what a way to end it not even the players knew though I don’t know if you guys saw Marcus Felino after the game Baldi after the game they they had no idea that if
They pulled the goalie as well they would lose the point they were just like Oh I thought that’s just how the coach knew I don’t think anybody knew until Jazz looked up the rule cuz he thought everyone thought nobody’s got the balls to do this this ain’t the K part about
It was slaughtering Lambs here and doing gas the the the cool the coolest part about it was just seeing a goalie getting to celebrate sitting on the bench with the players for an overtime winner like the fact that the the bench is going nuts and flurries in the middle of it it’s just
It’s such an odd picture to see the goalie with his mask going bananas on the bench and and I mean it makes total sense they need points and I think Pang or whoever was doing the game said right away or the announcer like they need points they need two points every
Night other other than that it’s like you can’t even ice it so I I obviously you you probably go for the icing if somebody from Nashville gets that they’re trying to shoot it down no matter what but I mean buddy it misses the net boom we get another face off
That goalie staying pulled so it was just a really cool uh event to see because it had never happened I can’t believe that it took this long I guess the way that it it it has to be where it’s a team chasing down points into the
Year it would have to be the exact scenario we’re in right now but to see it all play out the way it did what a game too Felino fought McCarron like 2 minutes into the game awesome fight and then later um kefir Sherwood fought I don’t remember who it was on Minnesota
No no it was uh was it Sherwood or was it that uh oh Evangelista no it wasn’t it was Sherwood because I read a tweet that he has a yeah skin condition Shaw did he fight Mason Shaw Mason Shaw that’s who it was sh good call uh
Sherwood has a skin condition where he has to wear these really thin white gloves under his gloves while he’s playing and then when he’s going to fight he he’s taking them off prior to the fight or on the bench when he knows he’s going next shift so I couldn’t
Believe that that’s probably hard to that’s probably hard to get used to whenever you had to start doing that to have that extra layer between your hand and the glove that’s impressive but just yeah the the broadcast picked it up so when he when he ends up agreeing to go
Guys he has to step back it can’t be spontaneous because he has to figure out how to get the glove off because if you don’t take your glove off and you have something on your hands when you scrap don’t you get tossed from the game and
Maybe even get a suspension so you could see how he’s kind of like agreeing but he’s like oh [ __ ] give me a sec and he somehow gets it off in time but um that was an awesome game and and seeing Minnesota get those two points I mean we’re hoping for playoff
Races it looks to me at least in the west it’s set now obviously the wild have something to say about that who knows with the Flames but in the East it’s almost like kind of Detroit Philly um and the Islanders will be battling but we want races so I just I love
Seeing that action and that that new age play that we got to witness so a couple other things from that game flower when forsburg hit the post just giving the post love every time and the like in the midst of overtime you’re in this playoff
Hunt he’s just still having a ball and I thought that penalty on ericon E that ended up tying the game with the the Riley goal or riy goal did you not you were you watching the game yeah it was the it was [ __ ] softer than puppy
[ __ ] [ __ ] off that was such a bad call anyway I just if you’re a Minnesota fan and you’re watching that game you’re going to be like thank you that was a [ __ ] [ __ ] call that definitely would have put a stamp on the season but uh I think that’s it from that game well
Whit you just mentioned the East and races out east now Carolina that’s a team they’ve been criticized guys the last few years are not making the move to you know go over the top go all in as they say but the biggest [ __ ] forward on the trade uh trade deadline Market
Jake kensel they ended up like Landing him then they go out get H kets off as well from Washington is [ __ ] the Carolina the team to beat they got to catch the Rangers here what what do you think they’re two points back right now Rangers do have a game in hand but I
Don’t know I feel like Carolinas might be the team to beat the East right now with this I think the Florida Panthers are the team to beat but I I think I speak all for all Carolina hurri fans out there with this that’s a hell of a slow clap I just
Gave to the Carolina Hurricanes management yeah and you know what Don woodell was out there and he said I think the fans were ready to run me out of the building he knew he knew they had to do something the time had come this team’s forwards they don’t score a ton
Of goals man they’re top six they’re down near the middle bottom of the league in terms of goals scored they had to make a difference and what happened in the Easter Conference Finals they were getting shut out left and right now Florida is a different Beast I think
Everyone’s well aware that we’re looking at a different team with the ability to stay healthy I don’t know if they can be stopped but Carolina’s going to have something to say about it now you slot those two guys in gensel is a Difference Maker he’s an absolute playoff performer
Ever since he came in the league rookie year 13 goals they win the Stanley Cup I think that you’re going to see him immediately impact that team and now they’re top six dude you got that Top Line with AO you got um Terra vinan and schetz nikov okay then you got the
Second line I see gensel maybe right between on the right wing all right we’re looking at uh what’s his name um NE netus in the middle ketov and on the left and on the left side because ketov guys while being an enormous question mark this guy can play when he wants to
Now I don’t know if he’s going to immediately be able to come in and be that offensive wizard that we’ se the so far but dude he doesn’t have a point in two games he played more minutes the second game than the first he is a
Difference Maker when he wants to be so I just think that the Carolina Hurricanes going out and getting those impact players getting talented offensive players is the only thing that they’ve really ever lacked come playoff time they’re D awesome Anderson’s back I don’t worry about the goal tending I
Worry about scoring goals and when you have a fan base that’s dying for a winner and then the team goes and addresses the number one need you can’t leave not thrilled with how their deadline went and I I I I think you’re going to see amazing things byus Nets
Off uh brind Moore I saw quotes about brymore when he coached him in the All-Star Game really complimentary of him as a guy you saw him get the plumbers award I guess they give out like a like a uh what are those thing uh what do you what do you do with the
CL plunger there you go plunger that boy Whit that’s what I used for a twig that’s what I did at the yandle’s house when I used to clog their toilet every time I went over there but I think now he gets into a winning atmosphere mantha
Can have to mantha’s GNA raise his game in Vegas kets off you don’t raise your game here it’s not going to work out and imagine the excitement for him to go from the AHL to one of the top teams in the league centering a Top Line and
Getting the chance to compete for a Cub by the way we didn’t even mention Jarvis we got they got they got guys on the bottom six who can play offensively and be great Checkers so such a great deadline for the Carolina Hurricanes right up there with Colorado and Vegas
In terms of the top uh deadline days I think so as far as the team’s concerned too so Anderson back from that blood clot he had too and like we knew goal tending was going to round itself out uh D struggled a bit at the beginning of
The year they just kind of didn’t look like themselves but they’re starting to hum and you talked about these additions like I think ketov sometimes with these Russians they just need that motivation like I think he was basically resting the first 60 games of the Season where
His give a [ __ ] meter and like the Russians they rehab what’s that he was at rehab resting for a little bit too oh I didn’t know he entered the program this year kets off oh I didn’t know he was oh okay okay yeah they put him on
Waivers right when he got out well sometimes to give a [ __ ] meter can get pretty low too for some of these guys I don’t know what his issue was at the start of the year he didn’t want to be there even at the start the year before
Any of that that you just mentioned same thing with teras senko and not to say he wasn’t motivated in Ottawa he had 20 goals but so far so far in Florida he looks like the old teras senko when the St Louis Blues had that lethal 40 goal
Sniper so as far as ketov I agree that might that might not being just as big as a pickup as the gensel move and you said it all about gensel he’s just a slippery forward who’s got a lethal shot he knows the right places to be and some
Of you might say oh we [ __ ] play with Crosby I agree with you I think he’s going to slide right in with AO and he’s going to be lighting the lamp as soon as he starts playing he’s a gamer gamer he’s a gamer what’s he got 34 34 playoff
Goals in his career he’s got I three different runs where he had like eight or more yeah g yeah 58 58 uh points in 58 playoff games basically a point game how many goals are 34 uh uh yeah 34 goals 24 assists yep Bango Bango goal every other Playoff game yeah the last
Time he in the playoffs he had eight goals in seven games against the Rangers when they when they lost that series when Lou deing was eating the spicy pork and broccoli when go tending [ __ ] them and then they they they they they figured out everything other than go goal
Tending and they traded away two of their good Ean um the trade we’ll go back to that trade quickly for gensel Penguins fans are Furious um I understand the the Penguins uh it’s over you know it’s it’s been this incredible 18-year run I mean already you look surprised I mean I
Justess just hearing you say it admit that that’s it and and it’s so wild to see and you’ve seen the two games since the deadline I mean they look they look like the worst team in the league so granted they played Boston and Edmonton and got their their their faces caved in
But buddy they didn’t even get one of the top five prospects from the hurricanes in that trade and I don’t know um the the Finnish kid uh grenell look up his name Quick um he’s lighting up the Finish League yes yes he’s lighting up the Finish league so you
Never know what he could do um but man they they got they got nikishkin I think nikishin in in Scott in in KHL that’s a that was a non-starter a stud defenseman who’s getting like 50 60 points a year the last two years in the KHL they got
Brad noo at m at Maine they didn’t get him they got Jackson Blake at North Dakota they didn’t get him they got Jaden pan at North Dakota they didn’t get him they got morrow at UMass they didn’t get him Penguins fans you [ __ ] Scout now I’ve SE I’ve seen Morrow and Nadu
And pan and Blake all play against beu this year they’re all nasty pan pan hasn’t been like the other three in college hockey but he’s like an undersized freshman who has shot is unbelievable he played was celebrini the year prior in the USHL so I think
Penguins fans looking at a trade for G yeah UFA so I don’t know what to expect but they’re like what we didn’t we didn’t get the tiki torches came out online people were not happy with the trade from dubis no so do you agree with that you think he should have been able
To fleece him for one of those well that’s the thing you’re in a position of no power because like car you have to trade him you’re not going to sign him we need something he wanted players he didn’t want picks or a lot of picks and then W El sitting there like buddy
Here’s the offer like I I don’t really know what could have done do you think uh uh bunting can become a like a like a highman like to to what McDavid is for Crosby do you you think he could be a pascal dupu could he possibly but Chris bu they
Got they got Rus they got Russ signed for four more years they got uh lat Tang for four more years they got um malcin I think for two or three more they got Graves for four more years like these are guys that are getting older that are getting more injured and are getting
Worse how are they going to rebuild and become a legitimate team like I don’t know I think it’s over buddy it’s crazy I was playing Devil’s Advocate like on a they do have a decent amount of cap space so is a retool possible but I think we can agree that malcin is is
About 60% of what he used to be would you say that’s a that’s fair about 60% he doesn’t have he can’t have the same impact of what a Crosby does on a game now and that used to be the case where it was a two-headed monster it was like
It was like McDavid and like dry cidal for for back then so I just I don’t know I I don’t I I I I guess I think with with the amount they have in the Cap reto won’t be possible if they’re able to get back to that game and then you
Got about two more years of the same uh uh production that what Crosby’s giving you this year and then it’s it that’s it it’s all said and done it’s crazy interesting note Carolina uh only seven teams have a lower save percentage than Carolina’s uh 0899 save percentage and
Only seven teams have more points than them too it’s just such an anomaly man that the the save percentage is that bad but the’re still one of the top eight teams in the leag they just got Anderson back already and I think that that’s going to go on a hyper drive and [ __ ]
Look out look out huge pickup I mean he was he was terrific for them last year that series versus um uh Florida man I mean he played his ass off and ronto the games that ronto was in they just couldn’t score any [ __ ] goals in that series but both those go were terrific
On that Series last year but uh moving right along Colorado uh they they showed up a little bit of help as well this was a surprising trade uh Biz there was I think six big trades on Wednesday that almost felt like deadline day uh last week uh they sent uh Bowen Byrum the
Defenseman to Buffalo for 25-year-old Center Casey middle uh Middle’s going to be an RFA this year bym still has another year left in the deal were you shocked that they pottered with bmh Biz I know you’ve been high on him for the last so his name’s popped up over the
Last couple years and they finally end up moving on I think the feeling was is he knew he was never going to get the type of ice time to where he could flourish and be that number one guy and then therefore not ever be able to be
Paid like one so if he’s got the confidence and he wants to go try to be that [ __ ] a and they accommodated him now I think that middle Dad could end up being like a perfect guy to get in return I guess right now I would like my
Initial thoughts is like damn they held on this long I thought maybe they could get a little bit more but middle stads having a career year uh I’m curious to know if he can play at the pace in which Colorado plays they’re a fast-paced team that hounds pucks and they transition
Quick and I’m not saying Buffalo doesn’t do that but I don’t necessarily know if Middle’s known for for his speed maybe some people might say [ __ ] dude he’s a deceivingly fast player but ultimately it comes down to what can you do out there can he be from a production
Standpoint as hard to play against or as efficient and as nsim Cadre and if he can do that it’s the [ __ ] it’s an incredible trade I’m a little confused that Buffalo went out and got another left-handed defenseman cuz you’re also saying in the same breath byon wants to
Go somewhere where he can flourish and be that number number one on the left side well they do have Dalene who’s a left-handed shot I think he’s more known to play the right but then you also have Owen power and then is it Matias Samson is that and he’s on a baron
Contract and I’m sure he’s the type of uh more of a simplistic playing defenseman where he might also get shift over to the right side but to have your top two pairings be all lefties is Bizarro land to me Whit you can chime in but uh it’s bizarre but it’s also I
Don’t think it’s as a big of a deal as people make it out to be I think I think every head coach to I’ve talked to has said I would be okay with it on my bottom pair yeah Nick Lidstrom if he refused to play the right side it’s just
You’re more susceptible to making errors like it’s just you look at any are there a few defenseman in the league that are extremely good at at a left-handed shot playing the right side absolutely but I think it’s bizarre Andor there’s a future play to be made to get off of one
Of these defensemen it ain’t gonna be Samuelson it ain’t gonna be darene I’ll leave it at that I just wanted to say I think middle stat I think he’s going to fit in great there and last year was a career year and then it’s gotten better this year on a bad
Buffalo team he’s a plus player he can produce and what they needed was a guy who obviously skates better than Johansson who went who went to Philly and I believe they waved him correct and he’s in the miners but yep they need a guy who can just produce better
Offensively as the second line Center Middle stats proven he can like if if it’s 55 to 65 points boom that’s all we need now he’s RFA they got to sign him but with Byron buddy they got ma they got Taves they got Gerard they got Manson they’re all L they’re all locked
Up for the next few years so it just made total sense that Byron wasn’t going to be there much longer if they didn’t have Mar he wasn’t going anywhere put it that way and that Johansson trade uh the Avalanche got Sean Walker back from Philly what what should Avalanche fans
Expect from him Whit Johan Walker shot blocker just a shot blocker that skates well that’s just kind of come out of nowhere the last two years right like nobody had even heard of him and then all of a sudden you’re here and this guy’s going to get four to five million
Per year when he resigns I’m guessing it won’t be with Colorado just because of those names I just mentioned that are already signed long term but man the ABS had a hell of a deadline and that’s not even included duam from Minnesota who’s a prick they like Colorado needed a
Little bit more anger a little bit more uh pissed off type hockey and they got it they got it in trenin and they got it in duim and they got Manson on the back end but like looking at Vegas and you’re not getting you’re not getting out of
The West without playing mean hockey that’s one worry about Edmonton I think is is there enough snarl is there enough [ __ ] Fu attitude within the Oilers to be able to get by some of these teams and playoff type the ABS went and got that so I I I I I
Don’t I don’t necessarily think when when you bring up Casey and midd Stat that’s what you think of but they addressed it in other ways with d h and and um and and whatever Tre guess uh codrey is a high ceiling to live up to I’m really curious how a 25-year-old
Right now having a career year can step into that position under that type of pressure I mean you [ __ ] walk in the locker room and you shake hands with McKinnon and he’s basically shaking your hand like don’t [ __ ] up my second cup kid like he’s like I smell Twizzlers on your breath you
[ __ ] yeah did you have peanut [ __ ] M&M’s on the flight over none more of that [ __ ] Bud here’s a protein shake you’re riding the bike for 20 minutes doing the zone two after the game well you know what though look at oh yeah and there’s the doctor get your
Blood work done we’re going to see what we’re changing your diet routine to uh look at the ABS they got a lot better I think they got a lot better and when you’re when you’re looking at a team that’s approaching a western conference that’s going to be the biggest grind
We’ve ever seen to get out of all right good job guys and McKinnon we had that mvp discussion a few weeks ago McKinnon has just taken off buddy this storyline of him trying to become only the second player behind Wayne Gretzky to get a point every home game throughout an NHL
Season is getting cooler and cooler to watch like every home game now is must watch that dude Wayne Gretzky being the only guy to ever do that and McKinnon tracking right now I already looked at their schedule I think there’s like nine or 10 more games or maybe 11 it’s like
Oh my God I want to watch every ABS home game that is an unreal record and and I think that that’s something that that he’s probably thinking about he’d never admit it but buddy once you’ve gone this far you’re like I can match the great
One here who would who would you have as the MVP right now we talk about this every a mile okay I like to hear that I know it sounds crazy to say by a mile but he’s leading the league in scoring now and if he ends up getting that record too it’s
It’s a no-brainer all right [ __ ] good to hear it away from your mouth he’s got yeah at least a point all 32 hey your opinion might change in a week from now when somehow McDavid went from 79 assists to 100 in a week cuz if he if he
Gets 100 apples man that’s [ __ ] I think that he would only be the fourth player and in NHL history to do it and it’s Bob 100 apples is it’s 20 he needs 21 more and I mean buddy the guy got six in a game recently so it’s like so I
Think ra the the the the stat is I think four players did it it was Bob Yore Wayne grety who did it four times Lemieux must Lemieux and then he would be the fourth so that’s there’s another crazy stat so I know we joke about this [ __ ] MVP race and how insane and
Close it’s been but it’s now a three-headed race again because I think that McDavid has entered the chat and I mean you I guess you can include a four-man race cuz is Pablo still still in it yeah I mean if he keeps [ __ ] scoring goals I mean if he puts 65 goals
Yeah he’s definitely goingon to be in consent no he’d have to get 70 he’d have got to get 70 the way McKinnon’s running right now and I’m a leash ball bag licker all right we just mentioned the Flyers uh they picked up Eric Johnson from Buffalo for a fourth round pick in
24 uh we just mentioned they potted with one of their veteran defenseman they all extended 30-year old defenseman Nick CA a fouryear $10.8 million deal but the big news from the fly this weekend John torella unbelievable [ __ ] scene he got tossed from the Tampa Bay game which
Is funny because they actually had a reunion from the uh 2004 Stanley Cup team though he was getting yelled at and he was like the what I call it with the wolf of Broad Street he wouldn’t leave he’s like I’m not leaving I’m not [ __ ] leaving it was like a minute
Long and finally he left he ended up getting a two game suspension $50,000 which by the way the CEO of Comcast said he’s going to pay it personally have you ever seen this but a coach just refusing to leave like that and actually being kicked out like that off you had a good
Tweet Whit you had a good tweet about it the 45k um yeah well yeah I just tweeted the the the clip of trouba two-handing Trent Frederick in the side of the head and receiving a $5,000 fine to have Tor saying I’m not leaving the bench and get
A two game sussy with a $50,000 fine now the coaches have no Max On Their fines the play players have the $5,000 Max so it’s like I don’t know maybe the coaches kind of addressed that but in any sense the fact that this happened on reunion night of the 2004 Stanley Cup
Champion Tampa Bay Lightning with Philly in torzon town the clip of Andre Chuck I think it was Andre chuck and a bunch of the other I think I saw modan with a glass of red one they’re dying laughing they’re like this is unbelievable the fact that this is happening and we’re in
The building we saw this firsthand for years we want a Stanley Cup with this lunatic and he ain’t leaving and here’s the thing I guess the league has to make sure that they set a precedent like we can’t have this going forward two games he got two games for that that’s
Shocking to me I I guess if you want to give the $50,000 fine okay or I I just can’t believe he get suspended I think they gave him I think they wanted to give him a couple days to heal up because the funniest part of that clip
Is he’s point after the referee and he’s got this cast on his hand like what the [ __ ] happened to his hand I don’t know he was on the bench in a sling like a week before that who knows what he did but but buddy I love Wes mccaulay
Definitely one of the cooler refs in the league a funny guy always talk to you on the ice but something happened in that game where he wouldn’t even go over and talk to him and I talked to a head coach in the NHL who who said to me yeah the
Refs are different man now they won’t come over and talk to you that you don’t really get a warning it seems like uh they’ve become a little bit more Hardo Hardo is really in terms of how they’re approaching talking and dealing with coaches is that a direct um order from
The league I don’t know but Wes mccaulay he’s like get over here I want to talk to him and then the other ref’s like ah no and then the linesmen are standing there and I actually was wondering watch him like I if this guy doesn’t leave
What do they do you can’t drop the puck till he leaves it was a Mexican standoff he wasn’t going anywhere meanwhile the cup champ team who had him they’re crushing pink Whitney and red wine laughing their balls off this was a full-blown Saturday Night Live skit but
It was actually funny so I don’t I don’t really understand the suspension I mean they’re fighting for their playoff lives here and they don’t have torts for two games but buddy I I I just can’t believe that I’ve never seen a coach do that I
To to be fair though like being a ref and a linesman and the way that these guys have to schle around sometimes these [ __ ] coaches can be going like like what the [ __ ] are you [ __ ] call you [ __ ] idiot like they go hard at these guys they just taken
All this physical abuse or not physical abuse mental abuse um do you think that the the relationship can be mended should we hear from the official side of things you heard that was Elliott’s tweet that was Elliott’s tweet and he he said he said this is when I think that
That ref should I don’t know if he said be able to or have to talk to reporters and kind of explain like what went on what happened what went into your decision don’t you think that so no refs in any professional League talk to the media and you totally and you could see
What so I know in the NBA and sometimes the NFL they they’ll talk to like a pool reporter they will they will they will give statements to like one one particular reporter that does happen yeah I didn’t know that yeah okay so I’m sorry I stand corrected should we just
Get the refs on post game we’ll do it on uh we’ll do it on Game notes live on Fridays Imagine The Ref sitting at the podium after the [ __ ] were you thinking there that wasn’t a [ __ ] trip you idiot if we’re talking about entertainment like quality and that
Would be mustat TV if we got to see some of these refs sitting at the podium explaining their calls now I don’t know I actually would be curious talking to refs if they would want to do that like some of them would say yeah buddy I want
To get out there I want to see bet Frasier would have loved to after off them more money I feel like if you offered them more money and cuz then there’s the the sponsorship then then it’s like I’m going to make a call to
Get me a little more money to get me on that Podium yeah this horeshit call is brought to you by uh Tony’s uh Tony’s turd remover we canc we can unclog your toilets and no time we used to unclog Ryan Whitney’s toilets all right but I think I think
The reason he got suspended though is because they were already two huge finds earlier the season uh Sheldon Keef and Paul Maurice and the NHL has had a you know a few statements to like they’ve sent memorandums out to leagues like I’m sorry to teams telling the coaches just
Cut the [ __ ] they don’t want to see their referees like basically getting chumped on TV like that so that I think that this was more about sending a statement out to the rest of the coaches around the league more more so than than just picking on torella I mean obviously
He’s the perfect guy to [ __ ] set an example with too and as as he was yelling get him over here I want to talk to him like Wes mcau is probably thinking like what do you think I’m going to go over there and then he’s just going to be talking to me calmly
Like it would have just exploded even more so I guess I understand why he’s not going over there and addressing it like face to face but an all-time clip from a coach who’s had a handful of alltime Clips I talked about the the possibility of a reality show of locking
All the GMS in a house like big brother style before the deadline a week before so they’re away from their families and they have only communication with the their round table but they can’t they can’t tell them anything that’s going on in the house other than the conversations they’re having with other
M so you put them on like a mansion with an acreage so they have they so you know Ken Holland can grab whoever like Eiserman and go for a little stroll hey you know we’re thinking of grabbing this guy all right let me talk to my team so
You go back to the phone where there’s like a um like a webcam or whatever so we can hear and see everything that’s going on as a viewer do you like the idea I love the idea the chance of it happen is zero now the biggest thing in
Reality TV Biz I think there’s a lawsuit from a former Real Housewife right now now is the amount of booze that they’re putting in These reality TV stars cuz to get well that’s that was my other idea is the stalk it full of booze and food
And then you’re really you gotta you got to mix it up yeah but well my buddy’s sister was on Jerry Springer like many moons ago and they got they had they had a shitload of booze [ __ ] here we go what what were they on there talking about um her her and
Another girl were beefing over some guy and she and uh like my friend sister the other girl like had a [ __ ] ultrasound picture of a pregnancy and my [ __ ] buddy sister ripped it up right in her face and the other girl got up and started [ __ ] willing on but they they
Get them all licking up backstage just so they’ll act like [ __ ] donkeys on Jerry I want to I I don’t know if I’m surprised or not at the fact that there’s a story with you Associated to friends of yours going on Jerry Springer buddy how you’re not surprised about
That like the sun’s coming up tomorrow it’s going to get dark tonight ra knows people drinking on Jer spring or a turn oh and then that all goes together in one a funny addition I was actually in in my a wedding later and she was
Like you know when you partt it up at a wedding with bridesmaids and [ __ ] groomsman well she was my partner for the wedding and uh we were walking down the thing the a I was like is uh Dyan gonna jump out of nowhere and beat me up
Because that was the thing of the [ __ ] white trash girl beat her up Doan on [ __ ] Don that’s not funny I was like yeah it kind of is you got beat up by Jerry Springer so Donnie Anne it’s like made up the name too Dyan yeah D TT holy [ __ ] yeah
Jerry spring we’re all the [ __ ] road right a NASCAR driver two first names only what go gos oh no I think oh oh so my other idea is uh maybe as a a um a healing and and repairing therapy at the end of the season we get the coaches and
The referees on like an iasa Retreat so they can hash out all their bad blood to to mend this uh this this volatile relationship that’s happening between head coaches and referees right now just an idea for another reality show if you guys want to and we’ll obviously throw
Booze in with the Iowa all right p uh only one team has been officially officially eliminated so far Chicago Blackhawks no surprise that’s how the front office built the team but we had a really cool moment Sunday our buddy Colin Blackwell he’s been in the league
For a while he’s buned around to a few different teams his 226 game he got his first NHL hattrick just a great scene he got it with the empty net up with did you happen to see the highlights man that smile on his face when he got that
Third one was just awesome to see obviously we know him well you know we Pals with him but just a [ __ ] great scene the guy who’s been humping he’s bounced around a little bit just a [ __ ] I thought it was one of the highlights of the weekend personally
Getting to see um players who’ve been through a lot have these very memorable experiences in the NHL is the most like heartwarming thing and if you want to go back and listen to our interview with him a few years ago that’s a story that that not a lot of people probably could
Have gotten through to the other side and ended up staying in the NHL and now getting a hattick and it’s just a really cool story I was happy for him Bard got two the second one was so gross little heel toe little tow drag snipe so I was
Very very excited for Colin Blackwell and I mean hatrick in the NHL B you could talk about that till you’re 90 years old so it awesome um we had him on the broadcast um I think it was against Philly and they and he had this unbelievable trow drag goal where he
Went around around isale when he slid so he’s having a great second half and you know guys like that man when you like hopefully he ends up getting paid this summer unless he’s is he still with the Blackhawks next year uh this is the last
Year of his current deal so I mean he’s playing well enough that he should stick around if not Chicago somewhere else and he’s got a he’s got a little one on the way too so best wishes the blackie and his wife Lauren they got a FR child
Coming and ask for Conor mcdad uh he still leads rookies in goals and points uh he’s got nine more points in 14 fuel games in the second place uh Brock Faber and he also leads the Hawks in goals assist and points and he has 10 more points than the second place guy in
Seven fuel games so this kid I I can’t wait for the next few years see what I saw he was only um he’s the first rookie since line a in 2015 to have 10 or more multi-point games as as as a 18yearold or 19y old whatever or maybe it was
Rookie year but and no it wasn’t rookie year because I think cap capriso would have done that but just it it it’s been as advertised dark days in Chicago but in terms of the opposite of the Penguins we got the Blackhawks and it might take another year or two but they’re on the
Way up and I think within I don’t know three four seasons Max we’re going to be talking about a team who’s really competing and and in the playoffs hunting down that cup what you boys had a pair of Veteran forwards uh Adam Henri and uh what’s his name [ __ ] Sam
Carrick also added Troy steter in the backline how much more confident are you on the the Oilers now with a little more after this pickups here or what can’t talk definitely a little more um henrik’s a guy who buddy this five on five he’s an awesome player it’s it’s
Exact just they needed that they needed that up front Carrick is like depth and he’s tough I mean he went out in Columbus the first game right after getting there they’re down two nothing he fights Olivier Olivier is a killer by the way B I knew nothing about silent
Killer yeah he’s he’s uh he’s tough as Nails Carrick goes him they end up losing that game they’re probably one of their worst games of the Season definitely since they’ve become the best team in the league um since the coaching change but then they lose to Buffalo the Buffalo
Loss losing a game twice is is one of the worst feelings I’ve ever had as a fan I mean you lose the game with two seconds left guys are undressed in the shower hold on come on back and then they lose in a shootout they then went
To pound the Penguins so they got five out of eight points on the road but more than anything they did what had to be done at the deadline I think a lot of Oilers fans thought that they could have done a little bit more but after having
Elliott on last week he made it pretty clear that I don’t think Holland wanted to subtract from the roster with how close the group is and they were able to make two three additions including steter without losing anyone okay so if CC’s really struggling maybe stra goes
In maybe he’s in for him anyways as the playoff begins I don’t know how the roster is going to play out but I love those moves Henrik being the most important one it’s a guy who’s done it in the playoffs you remember his OT winner to go to The Cup finals when he
Was on the Devils when he they beat the Rangers there and I think that he’s going to make an enormous difference like they haven’t right away but buddy like give him a little time fans are on me already they haven’t done [ __ ] like it’s been three games dude you’re
Learning a new system you’re learning a new uh a bunch of new teammates you have a new coach Behind the B it’s just there’s so much that happens and there’s so much mentally that I think fans don’t necessarily think about with a trade I mean your life gets uprooted in the end
Just give a little time that’s why I think some of these teams even hold them out a little bit so they can get acclimated before these people are like it’s been two games he has to score what the [ __ ] we gave all the stff it’s like
Shut the [ __ ] up give him a week and a half to get adjusted to his whole new life yeah so uh Whit I I at first was maybe a little surprised they didn’t go add like a like a jake Allen given the fact that it seemed like it was I mean
Got him for a third rounder and they were even willing to retain half his salary but that picker looks like he’s playing pretty good he had the shut out and it seems like both guys really like each other like you see Skinner stand up when he made the big save late in that
Pittsburgh game like banging his blocker to keep his shut out so sometimes you don’t really want to disrupt that goal tending chemistry so I was actually I think if they could have done anything the the second pair defenseman would have been like a top four d man would have been the perfect
Ad other than getting wasn’t much out there I I hear you I hear you if you’re but if if you’re an Edmonton fan and you’re looking out and you’re going to see what Colorado did and you look out and see what Vegas did that would just
Be my only critique on uh this is going to be a a tough climb to the to the Western Conference Finals here and a few a few heavy teams to Jump by but you know ultimately I thought they did a decent job with what they had they
Should have [ __ ] had dry cdal [ __ ] go on a two two uh or a six- week vacation and took his money and went out and got somebody else just fake Espen injury joking joking joking but I I yeah I look at I mean I I look at Vancouver as kind of
The the least of my worries when you’re then and I’m talking the West with Dallas Colorado and Vegas like I I would rather play Vancouver than any of those three teams now granted in the first round it pretty much seems that they’re locked into that second spot in the
Pacific so they’ll either have Vegas or LA but I can see Oilers fans wishing a little more had been done obviously the arms race in the west and seeing how these teams improve it makes it a little harder but you’re a better team you’re a
Better team than you were so in the end let’s see let’s see who we get in the first round and and from there it’s going to be a war uh another Contender added some offensive punch Florida uh they picked up Vladimir teraso and he was immediate dividends he paid off two
Goals one assist his first game uh they also grabbed kylo ooso from Buffalo Biz are there any weaknesses on this Florida team and are they the team to beat in the east so great sneaky pickup I don’t think anybody saw that one coming like I you know I I didn’t think that they
Needed to add you talk about not wanting to disrupt the chemistry but right away I don’t know if it was Anson Liam or or even Craig baru Chief we had chief on the panel and he goes look at that smart move by Paul Maurice he probably had
That Core Group in and he said hey I’m gonna put teras senko on the first two lines boy their first couple lines have been rolling better than any top two lines in the league League we’re going to put him in that slot get his confidence going and by the time playoff
Rolls around nobody [ __ ] cares where they’re playing in the top three lines he ain’t G to be playing fourth line right he’s G to be getting his his ice time and his confidence is going to be there and he’s gonna feel like he’s been bought into this this team already so he
Had an IM immediate impact and like I talked about ketov is these guys just need a little bit of motivation man and that’s [ __ ] and then you you’ve awoken the the dragon so to speak so great pickup and I think another thing that happened since we we last talk was
Uh a very emotional Bill Zito about how he signed those two guys uh the biggest one being forsling to an eight-year contract extension at a crazy aav this was a guy that was put on waivers by Stan Bowman in Chicago and they pick him
Up and he and I think zto credit his um credited his scouting staff they were banging The Scouting table saying pick this [ __ ] guy up he can play and they did and that’s probably one of the best bargon deals as what as far as production and how good that and sneaky
Good forsing is on the back end and and it almost makes you wonder are they parting ways with either Montour or eblad but hey that’s for us to just talk about either way they are [ __ ] locked and loaded they’re easily the best team in the East they’re now not the toughest
But they’re a tough [ __ ] team and they’re going to be a tough a tough exit who’s tougher who the [ __ ] you think the team that [ __ ] ragged all the Bruins the other night heavyweight champ of the East Ryan Reeves Tyler bertuso Mr uppercut himself Max doy the bowl in the
China shop Joel Edmonson lanky arms he’ll Chuck him mccab he’ll Chuck him gardano you want to talk old man strength you’re what else do you want you want more Bas all right so based on fighting big Russian Bear toughest [ __ ] team in the East [ __ ] based on
Fighting which happens a ton in the playoffs the Leafs of the toughest but you think they play a harder meaner tougher game of hockey than the Florida Panthers party are you onrack are you going Jerry Springer next week J yeah ier we need we need business final listen listen budy we whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa I just named the names give them a few weeks to get acclimated and I think that they have the toughest roster in the East yes I love the way that the [ __ ] Florida Panthers play they scrum it up every [ __ ] whistle but to a man I like the Toronto [ __ ]
Maple Leafs I don’t even are we brings will destroy them in a first round absolutely destroy them Biz I Hey listen they might they might outscore the leavs they might they got a great [ __ ] team and they got some they got some clutch play players but
They ain’t going to beat them up and if they I know I I tweet out Le in five because I’m trolling Bruins fan I think it’s going the distance but somebody is going to be Lo Le leaving that series battered and bruised and it ain’t going to be the Tonto Maple
Leafs the Leafs the Leafs playing so they either have the Panthers or the Bruins in the first round they’re both disaster matchups for your boys it’s just how it goes yes have the Bruins and the Leafs played these awesome seven game series of course they have well Florida drummed them last year drummed
Them and they do it again and maybe it would go seven with the Bruins but like buddy they aren’t beating that team like I know you’re excited about the the fights and the scrums that they had against the Beast they got worked 4-1 twice within like four days of each
Other I don’t care about regular season I don’t care about regular season but you don’t do anything in the playoffs either well we did win win round one last year hey hey I’ll say this Whit I’ll say this it’s going to be a heck of a [ __ ] series and if I’m the trono
Maple Leafs in that locker room I’m not afraid of either of those teams and that’s not something they could have ever said in the past so if you’re a lease fan you’re saying you know what we made the absolute best with what we have we have these you know five six Ferraris
In the lineup and we got a bunch of [ __ ] toughness figure it out boys and I think they’re going to who’s the who’s the fourth fifth and sixth Ferrari well I would consider Matthew Marner and neander I’ll give you Ferrari then I think we’re looking at well I’m
Saying like like from a from a pay perspective like a JT neander Marner Matthews and JT’s been playing incredible in the back half of the Season here I would also put Morgan Riley in that category because he’s not the guy that I want dropping him we need him on the
Ice very true now here’s the thing you got your five six Ferraris up front um who’s passing them the puck on the tape with speed through the neutral zone be besides okay so I said this I said this on the panel and I said this in a couple
Uh by the way shout out to sportset for having me at the trade deadline it was a blast love working with all those people they are going to have to make some adjustments they can’t snap the puck up you know you know how you were talking
About earlier in the year when Bob staer sent you that message about how they were too predictable with coming up the wall and they weren’t really taking a lot of chance up the middle and they have some D that can make those plays I agree with you the leaf don’t have a a
Lot of d man who can make those types of plays so they’re going to have to [ __ ] win the battles on the walls you’re going to have to advance the puck Zone to Zone to Zone if you’re on the far side if you’re on the weak side of
The ice slash shate slash gate push him down you don’t got to be [ __ ] dupy da in all all game long if you’re a centerman you gotta come you gotta come low and slow well well guess what you got [ __ ] 15 games to make some adjustments and figure out your
Personnel and get acclimated which is my favorite word of the podcast right now and figure it out to a man I like the Toronto Maple Leafs going against the Boston Bruins like Biz Biz if they beat the Leafs if if the Leafs beat the Bruins I will get the Willie Styles
Cornrows for the rest of the playoffs okay well that’s not really a a Bad Bet you’re going to [ __ ] look cool with those in it has to be something you don’t want to do like you’re just maybe wear a tank maybe wear a tank top corn I’d rather the cornrow yeah
Exactly exactly I do I do agree with you I tend to check out the regular season as well because the Bruins did beat him all four games outscored him 15 to seven of course they beat him in uh 2013 2018 2019 seven games each uh but I thought
This quote from Matthew n was interesting he said I’m hoping we get another crack of those guys and I think it’s going to make for a good series I didn’t even say Matthew N I didn’t say his name either up front no to wit to wit cuz Whit was like who are your
Ferraris and then I [ __ ] bent no I’m saying he’s considered one in a sense of God what what planet is Matthew ni consider a Ferrari I’m saying from a not you don’t want him involved fighting and scrumming it up every game you need him to produce and get on the four check and
Make plays like Max DOI let’s [ __ ] see him Chuck him he can actually make plays too obviously playing on that second line but he ain’t afraid he ain’t afraid that do derer was the other guy they picked up from Minnesota correct yeah was a doer for the he could chuck
Him too they got some guys buddy yarn cak’s been [ __ ] awesome since he’s been back they got some players man don’t look past the Leafs and now all that said all that said you talk about teams kind of manipulating things here and there in to make their chances to
Win a Stanley Cup better I the gap’s too far it ain’t going to happen I wouldn’t mind see them dropping into a wild card a first wild card situation and end up playing the Rangers I like that matchup above the other two as far as you talked
About Boston Florida whatever I I would rather play the Rangers than Boston you you’ll get think Carolina’s gonna overtake the Rangers you think they’re G Carolina’s gonna win the Metro um staying in Boston a wild story oh sorry AR go ahead buddy no no no I go go and you know and no
Actually I’m glad you segr that wi and the fact that the Bruins and Don Sweeney are making moves to react to the Toronto map leaves like how what what moves they went out didn’t do anything they went out and got Patty maroon to try to be as
Tough as the Toronto me police and another thing you want to talk about lack of loyalty the fact that allar now knows that they were ready to move on from him H yeah he really he really struggled in his first game back against the Penguins where where where he decided to
Just um dominate them minus a leang shot from the point a seeing eye Slap Shot that that that found the back of the net in the third it’s crazy though they had a deal for allmark I guess everyone’s saying it was to the LA Kings and he nixed it now
Apparently Ra was a 16 team no trade he had yeah yeah he do we know if was on that or if he just said no no matter well no he had he had a modified no trade closet which is a 16 team no trade list you give the the team I I don’t
Want to go to these 16 teams and you got to be kind of like uh you know [ __ ] uh what’s the word creative about it because you got to realize you don’t want to put teams that you know you’re not going to get traded to and he put LA
On there I know geography had a pot he don’t want to go [ __ ] get traded uh all the way across the country and he basically had LA on there and [ __ ] Nicks the trade and as far as plld I know uh Pier Luke de suppos he was
Getting chopped around I don’t know that he was coming back here to Boston for that deal because he makes 8 and a half million omach makes five million I don’t think the Bruins were going to take on another three and a half million for a guy who they might get half [ __ ] half
Games that he’s going to play for so I don’t think that was who they were going to get back and return but either way uh [ __ ] elock he Nicks the trade he did he [ __ ] he had his right modified no trade clause and he must had LA on that
[ __ ] list didn’t want to go there so I mean so can’t wait for this goalie controversy who’s going to play game one who’s going to play I actually I actually am changing my opinion on last year more like who’s going to get their ass beat they they I think they should
Just literally do game to game like they do in the regular season last year said no way you got to pick a guy they might as well just go game one swayan game two all Mark game three San game four all mark because you didn’t trade him now
Bruin’s fans were they’re going to [ __ ] have to because they’re going to have a sunburn on the back of that with Matthews going bar down on both of them shut the [ __ ] up dude oh my God this is just it’s trolling G just let him troll
Let him troll in in his Atlanta hotel and let him just enjoy are you the are you the Bruins representative G for the podcast ra doesn’t really he keeps it pretty neutral I’ll be the be’s representative I’ll [ __ ] go head-to-head with you I’ll go to war
With you for this one Biz I don’t think there’s a chance maybe we could maybe we could get you getting a maple leaf tattooed in your ass and you and posha could book a two for one special done done oh yeah the Bruins you get a Leaf’s
Tattoo on your ass if if the leafes beat the Bruins I’ll get a Leaf’s tattoo but Biz what are you doing you have to get granelli somewhere on you I’ll let you shave my ass um Biz let me think about let hey we got some time to think we got some fans that
Could send in some tweets as to what this little friendly wager should be I feel like we’ve been going a little bit aggressive with the tatto stuff and I I did put my ass on the line for the for the devils not winning the East cuz the
Future was bright and I did almost get bent over on that one but ultimately like always I always end up being right so we’ll think of something in the next couple weeks maybe tattoos anything maybe we can get a little three-way going R if you’re willing to put your uh
Maybe you can get one of those lushous uh beautiful boobs uh uh pierced um Oh I thought you talking about tattoo yeah my last tattoo was those beautiful lusious breasts and if you want to see those breasts and he and him crawling around uh shout out to all the boys uh on the
Production crew for getting that video out on the spit and chicklets YouTube channel of our altc with TNT so that was edited and actually uh a week before that ra we had yours of the late game and uh our whole trip to the outdoor Stadium Series so check those out the
The most recent one was with the alt cast so go see the behind the scenes at at TNT and and what that crew set up for us in order for us to execute that and how much fun we had uh shooting that promo the day before where Ra was being
Absolutely ridic ridiculous so all right the year of the hog continues my friend we’re back on how do we get there where were we I was going to address I was going to address quickly the Bruins deadline fans were disgusted and I love bringing in Maroon it’s one of those things with the
Guy dude three-time cup champ like locker room guy everyone loves him funny quote he’s like I feel like I’m hated here but he was very excited to be a breu now people really wonder the move for Columbus defenseman um what is it R uh Peak yeah Andrew Peak yep okay so Andrew Peak
Who hasn’t even played for the Blue Jackets and makes like two a half million with I think two more years remaining I think it’s one of those what is going on also did the Bruins send a third rounder for him he sent Jacob oror Bill and a third rounder I think I think
Dawn had PTSD from that game the other night and he just like he went off the game where they won yeah well Bruins fans at least you know Sweeney was out there trying to do something with allmark so it’s a little different if they just got maroon and Peak and it was
Like what the hell he he had another deal in the holster that that couldn’t happen Rangers fans also they’re another fan base what the hell now rosic I think that’s great I think wenberg can make an impact but they were looking for a score and they were all in apparently they
Were all over um G so they were all in in on these other deals but both those teams probably leave the deadline day both those teams fan base kind of wishing for more say that gens will probably went I smell food gaz’s I a going over
There look but the thing is what did the Rangers like I smell a First round exit no thanks did the Rangers like have to make any moves I mean they were you know at or near the top of the standings all season so far they I mean sterk’s going
To Swagger back I think the this this could be if a first round exit where it’s like oh that didn’t do anything or it could end up being the sneakiest moves of the deadline like wenberg was solid last year in Seattle like he was one of those guys where they had four
Second lines right like everybody was productive when being put in the right situation uh rovic who ended up coming he went from Winnipeg to Columbus not really sure what happened to Columbus also didn’t really hear his name a lot like where do you see him sloted in with
You seem to have been high on him when he got picked up uh uh by Columbus like started off hot started off real hot and then it kind of I mean Hometown boy I think it was still a cool story that he get to go back and be a part of that
Team after growing up there but yeah those guys they’re going to play on the bottom six I think and and they can both skate so it’s going to help them but the biggest thing with the Rangers is Zab benad and like his lack of scoring five
On five it’s like if he’s if if he right now was having one of those Seasons where you’re like holy [ __ ] this guy is a game breaker every time he’s on the ice it’s a little different story but fans are like we got to get him going
He’s got think he got skates on he needs a Winger to play with yeah he’s got the oh the man that we shall not name is talking like the guy’s got the slow boots right now so still Yes R I guess you’re right like they’ve been top of
The near the top of the league all season shesterkin is kicking but I was just saying with Bruins fans and Rangers fans they were they were both expecting and hoping for a little bit more guys sticking on the New York Rangers um we recorded earlier today I
Just had to hop back on right now it’s 9:15 I believe the second period just ended and the Empire State Building is getting suspended I mean one of the dirtier hits we’ve seen this season I defended him in a sense when he railroaded Bastion in New Jersey last
Time they played well what happened I think Biz mentioned when we were talking about on the Pod that Tom Fitzgerald at the first intermission was probably calling at Colorado and saying I want mcdermid on my team we’re getting dummied around by this enormous mutant
Ry and we need some help so MC der’s on the team now they make that deal and what happens the game begins and mcdermid hops over the boards and he’s calling him out Rey didn’t want that smoke he didn’t want it and that’s one of those things where we talked about
Laviolet talking with him and maybe telling him you don’t have to fight all the time maybe before this game it’s one of those hey leave him leave him alone we we’d rather have him out there don’t fight him if something ends up happening maybe it ends up happening right but
When go he comes and challenges you which he will which he obviously did leave him alone let him sleep well something happened all right and then they didn’t fight because repe just got the boot he flies across the ice and I don’t know what he’s thinking but the
Old chicken wing right to the chinsky of Sean thaler I can’t believe he wasn’t knocked out cold and I would say four games I don’t know if you think that’s fair G that’s a that’s a lot but but he’s already been teetering he’s already been teetering on the edge and now he
Got but he has no but he has no history though like I mean he has been teetering but he has no reported league history where there’s been an instance where if this was like a legal matter they could be like hey you have a an instance WR like written down here basically you
Know what I mean so I I think two games uh but yeah two to two to three two to three wouldn’t be shocked if it was four or five though so he had the Bastion play uh kicked out of that game I said I thought that was just maybe a boarding
Call but whatever hit he’s kicked out of that game got him in the head um he then left his feet even though he’s 6′ s and crushed leushin into the boards uh there was also another one that’s escaping my memory right now and then this happens this has been the most blatant easily
The worst one the suspension’s going to be coming uh mcdermid was then chasing him around after it happened but the ref grabbed him so they weren’t able to fight now uh I don’t know if I can say I was a big big fan of Ry kind of taunting
Him and waving goodbye it’s like usually you wave goodbye to the guy getting kicked out you don’t wave goodbye when you’re the one getting kicked out but I think the emotion the emotion of being an MSG and this kid is just in love with being in the NHL right now he’s just
Probably not approaching it the right way with that hit not probably he’s definitely not approaching it the right way with that hit that hit there’s no place in the league for that hit no place at all you can’t stick your elbow out and catch a guy right in the chin
And expect to not get suspended or stay in a game and not have some retribution coming your way now this goes back into the old school NHL some people hate it some people love it if this is the 80s this is probably where panarin is panicking because I think back in the
Day Rangers devils in 1989 we’re probably seeing mcdermid then go and try to murder panarin that is the old eye for an eye old school way of payback I don’t think anything will happen like that but in the end that is a suspension that is a dirty hit and there’s no place
In the game for that hit so I I guess all the Ry haters going into this Conor we saying it’s a matter of time before he does something like it’s a matter of time before he gets suspended well the time has come he’s suspended now so I I
Hate to hit I hope Sean ther is okay I’m not exactly sure if he stayed in the game I don’t know if you guys know but nonetheless guys can’t be doing that what’s the Fallout from this WI does Lavalette now sit him down again and say
Hey like you really got to take a step back here or do you just keep letting him play his game no that’s them that’s one where the coach is like listen we’re up two nothing right we have all the momentum in the game I love you playing physical
I’m I’m sure he told him I love the leushin hit right like that that’s fine even though he left his feet buddy we’ll take we’ll kill those penalties even though I he didn’t even get one against leushin did he no no penalty okay so he
Lov lav love that hit and LV telling him listen four checking wise great get in there Hammer guys but you got to sit him down there and be like dude all of a sudden it’s two nothing and then we got to kill a f minute major we cannot be
Having that because this guy is not nearly good enough to be staying in the lineup if he’s going to be taking penalties like this and suspensions so I I think he can be a Difference Maker and he’s proven that obviously guys have their head or should have their head on
A swivel when he’s out on the ice but man if you’re going to put your team down 5 minutes and you’re going to take charging penalties or roughing penalties or boarding penalties the coach isn’t going to play you it’s going to be that simple so lavette’s going to probably
Tell him we can’t be having that you know uh I don’t know if krider or um Keandre Miller I mean TR is the captain take him aside like well we love your energy we love how physical I don’t know if trou is the guy to have that
Conversation tro is like good job man good job do it again uh you didn’t knock out any teeth though uh but you know wanted to H hop back on quick and kind of address um what I hope will end up being the dirtiest hit of the night
Because we don’t want to see those hits and and ry’s going to have to figure out a way to play on that edge without falling over to the dark side so the rire State Building boys the power’s out tonight the power’s out uh and across the river I’m not sure
If it’s too late for the Devils I think it may be but they added a pair of goalies uh they got Jake Allen from Montreal for a conditional third 2025 and they also traded V VTEC vanich to San Jose for Capo Coan I don’t know man this feels like going to the
Drugstore after you already [ __ ] knocked your wife up with [ __ ] twins man R right definitely uh weird timing I’ve said this last pod uh chalk it up to like just a [ __ ] year for the Devils nothing went right they couldn’t get the saves and you know you figure out your
Coaching situation this offseason but like fit’s put them in a good situation where they’re on the up and up uh now you have a guy and also to to any general manager’s defense who has young goenda to use as much of the season to evaluate which one you actually want to
Keep because you don’t want to end up being the team that says oh this guy’s rubbish you get rid of him and the next thing you know he’s on a different organization kicking and you’re like oh [ __ ] there’s the next M K kiosoft right
You don’t want to so you want to try to g g if nothing was going right anyway why would you try to gain as much information about who you want to keep and then eventually move on from one of them and then also they go out and get a
Guy in Jake Allen who he’s known to be a really good teammate and locker room Guy where he’s good at helping the young guys understanding maybe even some stuff from a system standpoint and also helping nurture a young goalie he just did it with monteno and Primo where he’s
Not the guy who’s saying I’m here to take your job get the [ __ ] out of my net he’s here to say I’m [ __ ] grateful the fact that I’m [ __ ] getting to play you know 40 NHL games a year I make over three million bucks playing in a [ __ ] Canadian market and getting to
Help develop these to he’s already got a Stanley Cup with the St Louis Blues he’s loving life so getting a guy like that for New Jersey to help with the young guy is key and then who knows if you address it this summer where maybe in
The offseason you can go out and get marrom because there is stuff that has been tied there well all of a sudden you’re going to nextt year where you have a [ __ ] unreal starter in an unreal backup so now you’ve completely addressed your goal tending situation and you still have these young players
That are ready to take that next step you’re going to see a Luke Hughes next year who who could handle 82 games who’s not worn out you’re gonna see a better nech or NE nech nech I say it right the first time NE neic so anyway said the
Opposite yeah but it’s that’s it I maybe too little too late but [ __ ] [ __ ] it wasn’t Panic move time for Fitzy it was a washed year and uh yeah that’s all I got all injuries too so many injuries but staying out east I mean maybe the most least discussed good team in the
League is Tampa Bay I mean they this duclair move could be huge for them he has played good in San Jose on a God awful team and what sucks is man they they had Hanahan I think they were this close everyone said it was this close
And they ended up having a settle with Matt Dumba but still like you got the core you got the goalie first round look out I mean Tampa Bay is going to be in it they’re going to be right in the hunt and they went out and did something they
Had to it’s just such a kick in the dick with that sergachev injury if he was able to still stay healthy they probably wouldn’t have needed to trade for Dumba maybe they would have anyways but then they get they also add duclair it’s like all right nobody’s even just considering
Them to go on any sort of run and they’re just sitting there quietly saying all right let’s just wait till playoffs so I don’t think it was the best deadline you know those those years that they made those big additions of Coleman and goodro and then they brought
In Hegel and like all these things they did now it was it was much more quiet but in the end they’ll have something to say once this tney gets started I mean what I mean obviously they’ve had a few hiccups this year but you just still consider them a top tier contender in
The East or or just in the league I guess General I I think it depends on what happens with vasil’s Health moving forward like where where’s he at back surgery man he’s got so many miles on his tires look at the amount of playoff games he’s played like right now vasil’s basically
Played like if you took playoff games into consideration and what that can do on your your body from going three straight cup runs he’s played the longevity of like a full full career full 15 to 20 year career like that is just gnarly if he gets hot though yeah
It’s it’s it’s goal tending man it’s all it’s the whole playoff so it’s like if he gets going all of a sudden they’re riding him I don’t consider them a top tier Contender for the Stanley Cup but I also don’t consider them as like a
Runoff first round exit I I I just think that it’s all up to vasileski and then kucherov and point and stammer they do their thing and hedman’s hedman’s like going to be up for the Norris nobody even mentions him or he could be so yes writing them off would be crazy yeah
Almost feels like they getting takeen for granted a little bit 100% like it’s it’s actually depressing I I have no skin in the game it’s depressing that Ser sergachev got injured because I would I would really love to see what that great that group would be able to
Do in the East and I it just it sucks a and and it kind of makes for the bot like the two wild cards I feel like it’s just going to be they’re going to be easy series they’re not going to be that much CH they’re not going to be that
Challenging I don’t know man if if if if somehow if some if the Islanders get in and soken keeps on this run they got six in a row now they’re sitting in a playoff spot Detroit’s out which is crazy after the run they had they’ve gone cold the Islanders won’t be an easy
Out Biz I know you got your Butch Goring shirt on but buddy it’s a veteran team they’re on a roll they have a real tough schedule coming up including LA tonight or or you know you’re listening Tuesday so last night but if they keep going
Dude and they get in there I I don’t want to play them in the first round I don’t consider that like an easy Wild Card matchup I think Carolina and um is that possible Carolina and also Florida winning their divisions yes right yeah yeah um I think they beat both of their
Opponents in five games doesn’t matter who they play but you’re saying if somehow the Bruins and the Rangers win the Atlantic in Metro it’ll be a lot tougher for those two teams to beat the Islanders handedly yes Isles Rangers in the first round would be if we got the Bruins and
The Leafs and the Isles and the Rangers full on Mutiny let’s go back to let’s go back to meti um yeah I don’t really have much else what what’s what’s next on the on the agenda here well we got to jump back to Boston for a quick second uh uh James
V re played his 10,000th game the other night uh the 392 play to ever hit that number so we always like to give a little hat tip to those guys so congrats to jvr and absolutely uh yeah we just talked about the aisles uh oh Phil kessle we got to
Talk about him is this the end for Phil kessle we talked about him possibly sign up with Vancouver but uh general manager said it wasn’t a fit there I don’t know it it seems like the end of the road for the guy I I think this is it R yeah I
Think if if if it if it didn’t work out here I mean it took that long into this yeah because and obviously he’s not gonna sign with a team after because if he didn’t sign by Friday he can’t play in the playoffs and he’s not going to
Come back and not not to play in the [ __ ] play playoffs so I mean if it is the end man we you know we got a tip a cap ruins leaves pens yots golden knights uh three Stanley Cups M trophy uh just an unbelievable I mean one of
The Premier snipers of his generation as well I me need to interview that guy like I don’t know if we have any chance whatsoever I think we have a chance of getting him on a sandbagger would be our only chance of getting money that’s more likely I believe which either or either
Or sandbagger interview you need to talk to Phil I Biz you know how you mentioned well we’re going to Kelly Chase soon uh bis mentions that he considers Bret Hall um kind of like John Daly of the NHL Phil kessle is a little bit like Brett
Hull the onliners the voice it’s all a little similar okay yeah yeah yeah you know what I mean like just that might be a better comparison you know what I’m saying yeah yeah yeah well most likely Kess will be playing a lot of golf and uh well that’ll bring us to our first
Guest Justin Thomas but first with I got a trivia question for you how many short hitter goals did Phil kessle have in his career so far uh maybe zero because the way you’re asking one one shorthanded goal so on that note we’re going to send it over to Justin Thomas
Enjoy before we continue I need to talk to you about Peter marar yes Peter marar the only thing I wear on the golf course since before the days of chicklets pretty much the only gear I bought the best shirts the best pullovers the best quarter Zips and now the merge hybrid
Jacket it has a premium performance fabric that offers lightweight warmth and water resistance perfect for the season so as Spring’s around the corner here and we’re we’re we’re approaching golf season all you people in the Northeast and Canada you’re just fired up March is the beginning right March is
Like I could see golf on the horizon now and when you’re playing golf in in end of March and April and even into May if you’re playing in the morning buddy it can be cool it could be chilly that’s why this merge hybrid jacket is perfect
You tea off you wear it it doesn’t restrict you at all it feels great you’re easily able to swing in it and then maybe you get to the back nine it warms up a little bit you can take it off and just rock that Peter malar golf
Shirt the spit and chicklets one I only wear it in sandbaggers I only wear it in money matches it’s my go-to golfing gear so I want everyone to head over to pm.com Chiclets and check out the merge hybrid jacket as well as the rest of their performance outerwear offerings
Pet marar is the best in the business business anyone who’s ever worn it will tell you the same peter.com chicklets all right we’re looking forward to chatting with our next guest this Louisville native became the third youngest golfer to make the cut at a PGA
Tour event when he did so at just 16 years old in his two years at Alabama he won most outstanding golfer as a freshman in the Crimson Tide’s first ever National Championship in golf and then he turned Pro since then he’s won two PGA championships a Players Championship and a dozen other PGA
Attorneys thanks so much for joining us on the spit and chickers podcast Justin Thomas how’s the off season going my man it’s all good yeah thank you boys for having me it’s uh it’s it’s family time so it’s uh time to watch my my family attempt to hack it around a golf course
For a couple days well it’s funny you mentioned your family so we just watched you um is it the PNC the fatherson attourney yeah that seems like an awesome event you and your dad got out there together and I know he’s been your coach your whole life so it must be
Pretty sweet actually playing in a legit tournament with them these days yeah it’s cool uh I mean being an only child I I just kind of grew up just do wanting to do everything my dad did and he was he’s been a head pro or was a head pro
For a while so I basically get dropped off at the course after school and I uh would wait till he was done with work and we’d go play nine holes and get home at whatever 9 or 9:30 during the summer have dinner and go do it again the next
Day so it just was uh it’s fun for us to be able to do that because obviously with have some stuff going on in my life now don’t really get to do that too often with them so we try to enjoy it often times with like prodigies they
Pick up a club at a young age like how early was it when you picked up your first club and and started making contact I mean before I could remember I I just probably two or my parents always say two years old obviously I don’t remember [ __ ] from that age of my life
So I just was uh yeah I I was very very young to say the least do you remember the first time you you waxed his ass out in the course like you must have been beyond fired up yeah it’s it’s sad as it is I don’t remember that I I just but as
As my dad says as soon as it it happened it it uh it never happened the other way again it was it as soon as I got him that was the end of it for pops were you like a natural right out of the gate or
Did you need a lot of practice and a lot of reps I mean I just loved it so it was easy for me to uh I mean play you know other sports as a kid growing up I think your you know your stereotypical stuff of the you know baseball soccer
Basketball but I sucked at everything else so I uh I I realized if I wanted to play professional sports it needed to be Golf and fortunate for me I was decent at it but I love to practice it so uh it all worked out worked out well I
Mentioned making a cut at just 16 years old was that like overwhelming for you or were you young enough where it didn’t even really fase you just kind of going going along with it I think it was NE I think I honestly was so was young enough
To not even understand what I was doing I think I I go back and look at videos uh first off I was like8 pounds like I’m convinced my parents just did not fully feed me um and it yeah I I was in way
Over my head I but it was a great it it not that I was already not hungry to make it to the PJ tour but I think after doing that at that age uh I I definitely realized that that’s what I wanted to do
And this is what I want to do um but yeah I definitely had some maturing to do from that that point on so bis said the word prodigy like I guess it makes sense playing at a Tour event that age but how do you even get in a Tour event
Like they just invited you because you were that good at within your age group yeah I got so what did it every tournament’s obviously different but the wendum at the time they had um they had an exemption for if you won a Junior tournament that was put on by the same
Sponsor at the same golf course so if whoever won that event got an exemption to the tournament and I was fortunate to win the tournament so um I got to go play the wendum and I missed when I was 16 so what that would have been my sophomore year maybe something like
That but junior year I don’t know but I missed I remember I missed my first week of school and I could not have cared any less if I tried that I was playing at an event of high school which is [ __ ] nuts like had you had you already
Committed to Alabama at that time like how does it work cuz in hockey sometimes they’re trying to get these kids to commit like 12 years old [ __ ] some of them out of the womb like what was the process for that it’s it’s a little different in golf just because um I
Wasn’t I wasn’t committed to Alabama yet but um it’s just it’s different just because it’s I think some kids will um you know you very rarely have like that sixth and seventh grader that commits because it’s so much can happen in golf and it’s also it’s not like a football
Or basketball where you just see this like the person as tall as they are or as big as they are and you’re like oh well we can make him work it’s like golf is like it doesn’t matter you know what I mean you could it’s not like oh wow
He’s 6’3 he’s got to be a great golfer it’s like that doesn’t really mean anything we’re just the most like average looking people ever so we just have to make it’s they basically coaches will sometimes just wait long enough to kind of see what you got but I committed
I think my uh maybe middle end of my sophomore year something like that junior year get one of those official visits like catch out catch a football game all that get [ __ ] up oh yeah Jesus shuttles were style uh yeah I I definitely abused the
Visits uh stuff um I mean I the it’s bad as it is my official visit to Alabama was the Cam Newton game the game where Alabama was up 24 uh 243 at half and lost 2827 and I got to just walk just watch Cam Newton run around our Stadium
Like this and I remember my host uh my host for that weekend a couple guys the team Bobby Wyatt Cory whitet and Trey molx they were on the team and I you know as as you’re hosting um you get kind of like almost a pum to spend on
The kid that you’re hosting which naturally in college just goes straight to booze so uh I basically walk in and you know have a have some some whiskey there waiting for me and it was a uh we didn’t really talk a a lot on that on that walk back because we were pretty
Pissed off did you hear Barkley’s comments recently he’d rather root for Afghanistan than Alabama I did so he I’ve had I’ve had a good time with him uh you know the the Auburn Alabama rivalry but he during the Texas game we were actually over in Rome uh doing a little practice session for
The Ryder Cup so I mean I stayed up because we had uh Scotty shuffer was there went to Texas and and everybody just loves to rout against Alabama so basically it was everybody on the team versus me watching this game and after Texas basically it was already over they
Were going to win uh Chuck texts me he goes hey brother I’m in Afghanistan I don’t have any service what’s going on in the game and I just FaceTime him and he’s laughing his ass off so after the iron ball after Alabama beat Auburn I
Was like hey man sorry like I’m you know I’m in the middle of turkey what’s going on I’m not sure what’s happening in this game so Two Can Play That Game that’s awesome you ever played golf with Chuck his swing we interviewed him last year his swings fixed basically he was
Telling us yeah the good news for Chuck is it couldn’t get any worse right like was he gonna I mean he uh yeah he he has made a massive transformation in his uh his golf game I mean you talked about the hanging out with some of the guys
Obviously the PGA Tour is like a like a Brotherhood who are some of like the undercover guys that are just like the biggest funniest booze bags like they’re they they they’re the pranks I mean John Daly comes to mind I’m sure you have a John Daly story uh well John I I never
Really played in at the the John daily era if you will um I mean we definitely have some characters I mean Kevin kers he’s he’s pretty entertaining uh we’ve had a couple good couple good trips and go rounds with him uh duff duff is really funny he’s he’s like kind of
Sneaky and the thing that’s hard about him is he’s really he actually is smart so he’s witty and the [ __ ] that he says back to you um but you know he’s he’s older now so he’s got to really pick and choose his times of when he wants to let
Loose uh but when when we do it’s it’s always good fun oh I think I actually remember see like you you’re part of like a little bit of A Wack Pack right you guys go on vacation I remember seeing some pictures where you guys were golfing with no tarps on no shoes oh
Yeah go who who’s uh I’m trying to think of the names I’m not the big golf guy wit’s a huge golf guy he’s a golf jock sniffer the spring break tour is that the one yeah yeah pretty much it was with Rick Ricky Fowler Jordan Speed and smiley caufman yeah our lives have
Changed a little bit since that first trip but uh yeah we yeah we we definitely uh acted acted our age at that uh that trips go golf’s so interesting um all you know playing playing team sports you have guys to lean on and I know those guys are your
Good buddies but you’re also competing against one another so like when you guys have gone through tough times in your career and do you like give those guys a call or is it more you’re kind of out on your own when you’re trying to find your swing a little
Bit uh it’s a little bit of both I mean it’s uh there’s definitely I mean Jordan is definitely somebody that I I feel like I can always talk to about anything I I you know he’s been one of my best friends for a while and it just is he’s
I think with with two he you know he was at the top of the golfing world and then he you know in his eyes kind of fell off the map and then kind of brought it back so I think he he’s also good to talk to
In that I mean and I know the same with Rick but I mean Max Elma has become someone that I um we’re very very similar him and I we both just our demeanors and kind of how we go about things we’re both work hard but we’re
Hard on ourselves uh so it’s kind of nice to have a sounding board every once in a while but I would say I honestly rely on athletes outside of golf more than I do in golf for questions and stuff like that Justin are there a lot of like personal rival reason the to
That fans are completely oblivious about not asking you to like name names or anything but is aot lot of piss and Ando amongst guys that people just don’t know about not much I mean it’s I know that’s so boring but it it really um it depends
I think I think the writer Cup and the team events bring that out I think during during actual normal events it’s so rare that you get the you know the number one player in the world the number two player in the world battling out down the like it just so much can
Happen in golf and and there’s so much that goes into it that it doesn’t always work out that the best call it two or three players in the world are battling it out down the stretch which you know naturally is who you’re going to want to
Have a rivalry with it’s like you’re not necessarily picking on the 115th ranked player in the world it’s like you’re just you’re trying to beat the best so I think team events you know Rory and I have had couple good battles um you just you always just want to beat
Their brains and whoever they’re playing JT I’m not gonna lie I’m not that invested in golf but when I see these like mroy going at the caddy and the Ridder cup when I see like d Shambo and who’s the other guy he goes at all the time oh Brooks probably I [ __ ] love
That [ __ ] that gets me dialed in man I don’t know if you you follow all that [ __ ] or or know all the the Side Stories going on but that I think that that’s what the tour needs man they should add fighting in like hockey [ __ ] it just gu
[ __ ] teeing off on the style yeah I’m I’m I’m kind of if we start fighting I need I need to put some I need to put some weight on or I need to start talking to you guys because I uh we don’t or maybe I don’t know maybe like
If you can get it like an enforcer for a caddy or something where I’m like that’s what I’m saying like you really got to start like you want a caddy that’s going to help you but the same time he he’s got to be able to to beat some ass
Because it’s if if all of a sudden we start fighting in the middle of the set Fairway I need him to drop the bag okay uh let’s get into this like what drives you bananas when you’re playing with a guy like obviously pace of play I want
To say I read that you hate when other players are like describing their shots to you where you’re like buddy get the [ __ ] out of my kitchen yeah yeah it’s you defin you have some to where it’s I mean look there’s guys that whether you’re friends with them or not you play
With them it’s you’re not blatantly rooting against the person but let’s be like I’m not rooting like I hope everybody plays bad the week that I’m playing like naturally because it’s an individual tournament but you know you’re out there cordial whatever it is but yeah the guys that just hit their
Two shot to come over like I can’t believe I short that played like the wind switch and and I I just it went right over the back of the green and I just want to be like I don’t [ __ ] care like I’m I’m happy I’m happy that
You hit the wrong club and hit it over the green I don’t know what you want me to say oh [ __ ] that’s got that should be like a Chappelle skit or some [ __ ] you know like buddy I don’t give a fly broke left you’re like bro I I hope you five
Putt I don’t give a [ __ ] yeah and the cad a caddy for those players know but so sometimes it’s kind of fun like egg on be like yeah really is that you think like what do you what do you think happened there and then you kind of just
Like almost just wind them up and you just let them just keep going and then basically as soon as they keep going then they got to go their way with their caddy and then all of a sudden they’re just chewing their Caddy’s ear and they got to deal with it [ __ ] the caddy
Player relationship is like it’s amazing to me because there’s got to be times where you’re so mad at your caddy or even your at yourself and you want to take it out on your caddy like have you been a guy that that at on occasions maybe explodes on a caddy are you pretty
Levelheaded and and almost blame yourself a little bit um I’m I’m kind of in the middle I don’t I I don’t blow I mean the end of the day you like I’m the person that hits the club that hits the shot whatever but and I’ve told bones this my
Caddy before I’m like look like there’s there’s going to be times where I maybe like passive aggressively say something that’s not directed at you but it’s it’s kind of about you uh and I’m like just Just Let It Go like I I just I need this
Is how I cope with this and just let me get it out and just sit there and be like yeah for sure and I’ll be good in a couple minutes but if I keep it in there in a couple holes later and it be like I
To I knew we shouldn’t have hit that eight iron back there I knew it was downwind and then all of a sudden it just builds up and builds up but yeah I’m more of the kind of a discreet yeah I’m not going to sit there and you know
Tell my Daddy needs to stab himself with a pencil or something like that but it’s more kind of the the passive aggressive way he’s like did were you talking to me when you said nice read [ __ ] you’re like you’re like no no no no no that wasn’t directed at you yeah exactly good
Good luck collecting your paycheck you [ __ ] yeah don’t forget your rights to checks for for like for non-golfers listening like how would you describe your game like what are you best at and what are you best known for are you like a sick putter I I can only when I’m
Drinking like I I Tred to go sober recently and I can’t putt withth a [ __ ] I mean you have to do it sober what are you known for uh my ball striking I’d say my my iron play has been what’s uh statistically been the best over the
Year so i’ say I’m known for that wait is he lying no no yeah he hits his irons pretty tight Biz it’s similar to you biz’s back swing goes to his kneecap so we got to maybe get out there with you sometime and figure hey time out I want
To ask you this cuz you’re a pro golfer the higher you go the more susceptible you are to problem so I figure let’s do like a half Slap Shot almost that way it’s an easy follow through and you just got to go hard with the follow through
And then you know power is not my issue right so yeah yeah I mean I I haven’t seen but just from from the sounds of it you know what could hurt to try it right I mean it’s if you’re going to hit it offline at least [ __ ] smash it just
Get it as far up there as you can yeah I mean recently he had 100 yards in he’s like I’m going to hit this eight iron and I’m like dude that is not the club here he’s like no no no I’m just going to bring it back to my left my left
Pinky toe and just pick it I’m like all right here we go we’ll get Justin Thomas on the Pod to figure this thing out that’s why we brought you on to help us with our golf mechanics little little saucer pass right up there on the Green in terms of saucer pass and hockey
Like have you always been a fan I mean can’t be much hockey in Kentucky I I know they’ve had some minor league teams in the days but like when did you get into the game if you’re into it at all yeah I I don’t we had yeah the
Louisville River frogs growing up uh or the the team that we would go to the I I don’t know why I just remembered that the team would come out of this just weird looking frog uh at the start of the games but my mom s my family uh
They’re all from Pittsburgh um so I went to Lemieux’s first game back that was my first ever NHL game and I think because of that and obviously no professional teams in Louisville I just kind of became Penguins fan um and over the years I’ve gotten to know some of the pens and uh
At Oakmont the US Open was in Pittsburgh in 2015 right after they won the cup and I mean as they should they were just shitfaced L all of them were out there every single one of them had two drinks on their hands and and I got delayed by
Tea time so I just kind of hung out and and just talked to him I mean I I love talking to hockey players and I love I don’t know I just think it’s because I think a lot of hockey players love golf and um I think I’m I hate to say this
Because I don’t want to give youall any credit at all but I think they’re some very underrated athletes and and just the [ __ ] that they’re doing so I just I respect being around them but I also know they like to have a good time so they’re fun to hang out with do you
Remember wit’s era in in uh in Pittsburgh do you remember Wht as a defenseman were you one of the ones booing him out of town uh for yeah from the sounds of it I didn’t need to the rest of the Town may have been doing oh no oh no oh actually there was
A there was a viral story that you told about how you ended up in the same bar as as the Penguins guy and then you guys kind of went back and forth like probably a ton of people listening from Canada who haven’t heard the story so if
You could just kind of yeah it was so funny so um yeah I try I’ve tried it the last couple years it very rarely works out but anytime that the Penguins play the Panthers I if it’s in Florida I try to go I’ve only been able to go I think
Twice just for scheduling but I’ll go um so between you know first meeting them and you know not all the guy or many guys were still on the team but just got to know him whatever so we went to Palmetto Bluff uh actually with the the spring
Break grw but they brought the we had the wives they had the babies um and we got out to dinner and I just I go take a piss and I’m walking back and I’m like like that is that’s Sid like I know that’s Sid and I’m just like but it it
Just didn’t register I’m like why the hell is he here so I’m just kind of walking and I to where I can see enough of his face and I it’s like sit sit I’m kind of yelling at him and you know he’s just like he’s going another person
Yelling at him and one of the guys on the team turns around says hey he sees me and then he gets him so whatever we’re catching up and we go back and sit down and then they um what oh yeah they sent a bottle of wine they’re like you
Know this is for Mr Crosby and the p and the Penguins they wanted to send this as a thank you and we’re all we’re pretty pretty boozed up at that point and we thought I I don’t know why this came to my mind I’m like all right we got to
Send something back to him but this something is a joke so I was like can you and asked our waiter I’m like can you take a SE I think there were eight of them can you take a Caesar salad and cut it into eight like eight separate
And exactly and put a crouton on each one and like send it from us so they go and they send that back and then they send back a just a tray of shots that comes out that was only water you know thinking it’s tequila shot they have
Like the lime on there the salt it was only water so then we set back like a glass of 2% milk or something it was just we were having a good time with it uh but we ended up we ended up drinking with them a little bit after but it was
It was good fun that’s yeah that’s silly that’s silly stuff did you do you remember seeing these two ding bats play I know Biz wasn’t there as long as Whit but you remember like seeing him in person well I don’t think he saw biz on
The bench no 15 games I only played 15 games with the pens I have a I have not been very many Penguins games I I do I haven’t been in a game in Pittsburgh in forever but I just uh I enjoy following and watching hockey in the physio that I
Had for a while as Canadian and he played you know in in uh maybe in May played in Europe or something for a little bit so like he was always always talking hockey uh being from Dallas big stars guys so it was um it just was it’s
It’s always been easy to to kind of be be a fan of it but I unfortunately do not remember that those days now have you ever golfed with uh oh you ever golf with mikkelson and you ever like do you ever gamble with him yeah I’ve I’ve
Played with Phil I haven’t played with him in a bit um he’s a machine with gam yeah I know right uh yeah the rumors that he does like to gamble I don’t know where that came from uh [ __ ] off come on you ever go gamble with him G for sure
For sure no we’ve we’ve played I I qualified for the US Open in 2014 uh and I was on the the the tour at the time which is you know a tour under the PGA Tour and you know you’re not playing for very much money
At all and so I think it was uh myself and Jordan verse it was a practice round versus Phil and Ricky and down the te and like all right you know it’s played standard game a 2000 close out thousand press and it’s like what I mean that’s
It’s like okay here we go yeah so this is this is like a 13th Place on the tour that I’m playing on at the time um and fortunately we we ended up winning Jordan clutched up for me because I mean it was the most people i’ played in
Front of the most nervous I’d been um even in the practice round oh for sure I mean I put you know on the web.com it’s like you can the only people there are the family members in your group and then maybe you know the couple people
From the town that like golf for some reason so it’s not playing in front of thousands of people on a Tuesday practice round for a couple thousand dollars wasn’t something I was too used to but uh it was nice Ricky had to go to
The ATM and get some cash and put in my locker so uh that that was nice that’s unreal what about in golf like the other thing that that I’m so like Amazed by is say you’re you’re final group in a major right and you don’t tea off it’s like 3
O00 like what do you do all day you wake up and say you wake up at 8 you’re like I don’t play for seven hours my mind’s on it the entire time like how do you spend that entire day it’s weird it’s I’ve always try to compare that or think
About other sports in the sense of like I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if we had an 8:00 tea off you know what I mean um it’s you really try to just do anything possible to stay busy and not think about what you’re going to do I
Mean you you know you maybe kind of stretch out breakfast another 30 or 45 minutes and you know maybe just go to the gym and kind of stretch that out another 20 or 30 minutes and if I play it late like that I’ll I’ll generally go
Do a little bit of pting before I have lunch I mean it really is just like you said you wake up and you’re thinking about it you’re ready to go then you got to wait that long you’re just trying to somehow do something that’s not have have you on the couch on
Your phone on social media looking you know reading articles about yourself and looking at all the [ __ ] about the tournament you’re just you just want tee off yeah I was uh man I get nervous when there’s like a couple people watching me on the tbox go at it what was your first
Like welcome to the PGA moment where where there was just a gallery like a crazy insane Gallery where maybe even your nerves were they’d never been before uh no [ __ ] it was it was probably that Tuesday practice round at the US Open with with uh with Jordan Ricky and
Phil it just there were so many people were teen off at you know 8 8:30 in the morning and it just is that was that was at that point was was wild uh the most nervous I’ve ever been in my career though was the Ryder
Cup in 2018 and France uh I mean there’s I think it was like 6 to 10,000 people on the te they had a big uh big grand stand and it just was it you’re like the nerves and everything that I had the adrenaline that I had but just also just
You don’t I don’t feel anything it’s it’s just wild in the sense of different to other sports to we that you kind of feed off that energy but then you’re feeding off of it and then it just goes dead quiet and you could just hear a pin
Drop and it’s almost like you can just hear and feel like your heart beating in your face and it you have to somehow try to hit it in front of you it’s wild that [ __ ] nuts it’s a panic it is what the [ __ ] do I do now I
Gotta hit this like I got to just find the center of the face here somehow yeah I mean Jordan and I it was best ball the uh that match that we played and we were kind of trying to decide you know are you going to go first am I going to go
First whatever and there’s a big bridge that goes from the practice green over onto the first te and and he had done it he was great kind of keeping me calm and uh he’s like you know do you want to go first you want me to go first and as
Soon as I it kind of hit me and I’m looking up at that grand stand I’m like let me go first I I need to go first just get the [ __ ] out of my way I need I need to hit right now I’m freaking out
Right now um I I was reading I think it was in uh 2000 you went to Valhalla and you got to see tiger win uh what was it like the was it one of the major championships was it the PGA and then you ended up getting Jack Nicholas
Autographed that same weekend like was that like uh like I mean you know I we talk about Wayne Gretzky as our goat you know Tom Brady the goat like Tiger Woods and what he’s done for golf that must have just been an incredible experience to watch him win that and then
Eventually of course get to play with him and meet him yeah yeah it it was I mean I was seven at the time and it being uh yeah we don’t we college basetball is kind of all Kentucky uh Louisville is kind of known for it’s had a couple you know football stins
Obviously you have the horse racing whatever but in terms of something big like that every once in a while so the PJ being there was huge but I going there at that age idolizing tiger just he was in he was in that era that Prime of where he was almost an underdog to
Not win a major versus winning a major which is just obscene and um yeah it was I remember I’ll never forget being in the clubhouse watching he had like a six or seven footer to force a play on on 18 on Sunday and I’m watching on TV like
The whatever the one or two second delay it’s like as soon as he hit the putt on TV you could just hear the crowd erupt outside and then I knew that he had made it just was you know as a seven-year-old like you you are you’re dreaming big
Already but it was a it was kind of like a I I want to do this kind of moment that it was pretty it was pretty special his mental game is just tapped eh it’s nuts it’s nuts it really is it’s I think at least it in my opinion from
Talking to whether it’s other athletes or or golfers whatever it is that say the best at what they do I have a hard time explaining it right I mean i’ I’ve asked him so many questions and he’s like you just you just do it it’s not
I’m like oh okay let me let me write that my y that’ll really help me a lot I guess just he’s I mean he’s just he’s wired differently and and it’s um I mean he was obviously physically better than everybody already but he just would beat
People with his mind and how hard he would practice to where the the golf tournaments were then so easy to him and he just would out intimidate people it’s uh it was bizarre that’s probably lot [ __ ] oh yeah he talk [ __ ] doesn’t he he yeah he’s uh yeah I mean he’s just he’s
Just a dude right like he it’s not obviously he’s got a a microscope on him bigger than anybody in golf but it’s just he’s still he’s still a guy you know I think he loves just I think that’s why we get along because I’m pretty sarcastic and I just not that I’m
I know when to be serious and not but it’s just if I’m hanging out with a bunch of guys if we’re playing golf drinking beer whatever it is like I’m just gonna be I just want to be myself and relax and and needle you have fun
Whatever and I feel like he’s kind of the same way so like Jordan you’re saying like kind of like when he’s playing against guys in the final round he’ll like say [ __ ] that’ll get under their skin no he doesn’t he doesn’t talk that’s not usually a thing in in
Tournaments no one’s talking trash like while we’re playing I think it’s just more as Tiger’s more just like the there’s a good story of Tony fow when uh when tiger weather Masters in 2019 it was on Sunday it was like the seventh hole they hadn’t spoken or said anything
Um and they’re walking back there’s like a long walk back to the tea and they’re walking back and Tony’s like tiger he’s like uh how’s the family how’s the kids and Tiger’s like they’re good and [ __ ] he’s like okay this this this is it so it’s more of that kind of
Uh just you know almost uh blanking you type of if I was Tony I would have started bitching about my shot saying that the wind took over kind of like how it drives you bananas maybe that’s how you get under Tiger’s skin I I don’t know yeah yeah it’s uh people I’m sure
Have tried many things and none of them have been too successful in the past [ __ ] I was um I was playing medalist one time and we’re going off one we went off 10 going off one and then uh the guy I’m playing with James driscal played on the
Tour for a while he’s like oh he goes Tiger’s teeing off so just just move he’s coming he’s going to play right through us I’m like unbelievable so he rips driver he’s with Jason duffner and Ahad Rashad so tiger hits it to like 20 feet duffner pulls it into the left
Bunker and he’s like hey guys like like nice little quick hello duffner hits a bunker shot to like 20 feet tiger Nestles his putt down he goes let’s go Duff he’s like can I can I putt it out he goes nope Duff’s like all right okay picks up his ball and Waddles
Away yeah probably just got to his part DED in yeah he’s never going to be in a hurry that’s for sure no no no so you could tell he was just like the alpha I love listening to wit talk about golf courses like when you just you know like
You you know all the tracks what’s your favorite track if you had to pick one uh it’d probably be I like linkx golf like over in Scotland and Ireland I just think it’s fun it’s really it’s really really fun to play there’s a place in Northern Ireland R
County down that’s that’s pretty pretty sick track it beat prob it’s you know a fun place to go on a boy trip or something like that that’s where we just were Biz in October that’s where we went you golfed at that club royal royal County down it’s think is that the one
You called a goat Ranch no no that was not that was not RC no the guy there told us that it’s the number one course in the world that you can play like that’s not private so like anyone can go there it was sick really nice it’s I
Mean and the thing is over there is you get you know you could get four seasons in a day so it’s uh but like you get it but that’s also part of what makes it you know if if you get [ __ ] weather over there you’re like all right yeah we’ll
Go play versus here in the states if it’s bad you’re like I’m not playing it that’s what am I doing so it’s it’s kind of a part of what makes it fun I guess over there my other buddy told me that the Masters is kind of like a cult like
All the the way that they run it over there I want to get invited back every year so I think they’re doing everything great okay oh cool okay all right love those there’s no one pro golfer in the world that would say a bad thing about
About austo I heard all the greeners are Oompa loomas and they come out they live under whatever they do they do better than any place in the world it’s you’ll you’ll have a tree fall I mean they had a tree fall down like two years ago like
A fullblown massive 8070 foot tree and the next day you would never even know that it existed like it’s it’s insane it’s it’s almost not even real life sometimes it it’s wild what is it true if you find a weed there they’ll give you a hundred bucks is that is that a
True thing or is that a rumor I’ve I’ve never seen one or heard of one somebody finding one so that it wouldn’t surprise me it is I’ve never seen a squirrel out there like it’s it’s they’re killing the squirrels no it’s just you don’t it’s it’s almost like there’s a bubble like
You’re just not even allowed it’s it’s it’s wild it’s hard to explain and it also sounds even weirder saying it out loud like I just did but like you would think with pine trees everywhere and and pine needles you’d see a bunch of pine cones it’s like nope never seen a pine
Cone on the ground it’s just it’s it’s almost like it’s there’s somebody in the tree and it’ll be falling and they just like run out it run back in it just it just never happened never you see a guy in a green jacket just like snap a bunny
Rabbit’s neck you’re like holy [ __ ] guys are [ __ ] hey mentioned that you met Jack Nicholas pretty cool that you just opened a course you guys built a course together right that’s unbelievable how did that come together yeah I talk about something I just never really uh thought would
Happen especially at you know at the time 29 years old it just was he it’s more so I guess the money behind it um Wanted obviously Jack to do it but I think wanted someone a younger person to kind of do it with them co-design it
If you will uh and I love golf course architecture I think it’s just it’s cool because you you have such a variety of ways of doing it both kind of new and modern and old whatever or current whatever you want to call it uh but then
Yeah for some reason I I don’t I was chosen off of that list however whoever was on it and they reached out to us and with it being here 30 40 minutes from home it it was great uh it’s not something I it was going to be a super
Time restriction on practicing or playing a tournament so I could go out there and check it out but it just was it was great I mean it was I I tell everybody like watching Picasso paint right the guy’s done so me hundreds and hundreds and potentially thousands of
Golf courses and I got to watch him do it um and Bas give give any opinions or thoughts if asked I mean I knew my role I knew my place it just was uh more to sit back and learn than anything that’s like like Jack himself he’s the one who
Puts like we on a bunker here like like make the Fairway n narrower here yeah so that his team I mean obviously when you get to that level it’s not like he’s the one sitting from scratch and designing and moving [ __ ] but it’s just the team
Will Design you know you kind of get a concept of what you want the course to look like be like then the team will come up with basically the design and then Jack or Jack and I would go out there we just go hold to Hole like I
Don’t like this let’s move this bucker over here let’s take the screen from this way face it this way uh you know that’s maybe let’s let’s bring this tea over a little bit I I think the is a little too severe let’s you know maybe
Put it up a little bit or all the drainage is gonna everything is going to come right to this corner of the Green Let’s kind of let’s maybe change the elevation a little bit so the water falls off like there’s just a lot of
Stuff that goes on to it that I had no idea um and there’s way more that I’m sure that I still don’t know but there’s a lot of little things that go into it that’s pretty depressive I actually heard another golf rumor that um at the
Grove that uh like what’s his name uh MJ’s T shots he only hits at like 250 yards he hits it like a bit of a grandpa so the minute after 250 yards it gets real narrow so nobody who hits the long ball can have the advantage on him is
That true is is MJ cheating I feel like I I probably shouldn’t say too much about it am I being wired right now yeah yeah yeah MJ nuts yeah he’s a competitive guy I mean hey it’s it definitely is I mean if you’re designing a golf course I
Don’t know why you wouldn’t design it for yourself right um you know there’s it’s not a coincidence that this place is nickn nicknamed slaughterhouse 23 I mean he he’s tough to beat out here he’s tough to beat it at a lot of places when he’s playing well but it’s just it is
It’s for us to for hitting drivers it gets a little more narrow but um he just his short game is so good and out here he’s always going to be in the hole he can kind of get it around the green and then next thing you know you lose
However much you bet and you pay it to him and go on with your day the slaughter house I uh I played with him there with Clark MacArthur and uh yeah so obviously the first time for people who don’t know like there’s like seven people in the group Dwight freeny’s out
There banging the ball around everyone has their own carts so he doesn’t say a word to me we get to 17 the 35th hole of the day it’s a par five I’m on and two he’s dead like the guy’s short game was insane he’s dead shortsighted hits this flop shot like
Insane I putt it right inside him he makes his birdie putt I miss first thing he said all day he goes That’s right [ __ ] I’m like oh my God so then so then then we go 36 he beats me on I started he has been the same since
Wait a second wait a second so then I finish the last haul another PR lose that hole too he’s like scratch golfer [ __ ] you couldn’t scratch my wife’s ass I [ __ ] I [ __ ] I was like and I just left I just paid him 10 grand and
Left yeah I was like holy [ __ ] but I was like I think I I would have paid that to play with him anyway so I didn’t give a [ __ ] MJ’s Fantasy Camp 10K get this big I’m like this guy he’s pumping rap tunes the whole time that say his name in the song
What planet am I on right now oh yeah yeah I’ve I’ve played with him my here a good bit where yeah you’ll something will happen or you know I I don’t see I don’t see your name on the on the scorecard or in the clubhouse or this is
Yeah welcome to grow 23 [ __ ] stuff like that where you just you couldn’t feel any more useless as a person so for a guy of your stature do they give you a membership or did they force you to pay the Initiation fee like everybody else
No yeah we we had to pay we had to Fork it up damnn place this is yeah other places are different but I think it’s this place is very unique and sense of like look he wants he wants everybody to feel like you know we’re all members same
With his bud I mean he’s got a lot of buddies that he’s played with over the years the same thing they had to pay to be members it’s just it’s but it’s a like the you know the member member is always fun or any kind of events where
People are in town like it’s such a unique ridiculous membership that it’s it’s awesome and and totally worth anything you could you could have to pay and he’s just peeling up in these unreal cars dude hasn’t he have an insane car collection yeah you can usually hear him
Coming in just buzzing eh that’s there’s like a two mile road that’s dead straight on the drivein just so he can rip his Ferraris up there I think and yeah you just hear the thing like MJ’s coming better get ready hey what about um what about like I mean it just takes
So much time and effort and you got to be so involved in your game like what’s your practice schedule like when you get some off time or you’re working on something are are you hitting balls an hour putting an hour like what’s the time you’re putting in each day when
You’re really trying to like work on the swing it just depends I I I feel like during season it’s I’m trying to work on something specific if it’s if I’m trying to work on something in my golf swing mechanically then I’ll I’ll probably spend more time hitting balls uh and
Videoing just to try to kind of put maybe what I’m feeling certain things in my swing versus what it looks like because it it never looks like what it feels like it looks like right so trying to kind of match those up but then there’s gonna like before
Majors I’m always going to work a lot on my short game because that that’s generally how major championships are one in my opinion um but it’s it’s it’s kind of different throughout the season I mean I’m always trying to I’m more of a practicer than a player so I like to
Spend a lot time working on my distance control and and whatnot but anytime I play I want to you know whether it’s with guys that are on tour or buddies or MJ whatever like I want to play for something it doesn’t need to be anything crazy but it’s something to at least I
Feel like I’m out there finishing you know finishing the hole and I need to post a score and because you know any athlete is competitive and you don’t want to lose whether it’s 50 bucks or 10,000 bucks like the fact of you having to hand over money to your buddies never
F um so you’ve won two majors and they were both the PGA Championship so I mean that’s like that’s the ultimate Crown right there winning a major right your first experience like [ __ ] how were the nerves coming down the stretch there are you like don’t [ __ ] this up don’t [ __ ] this
Up were you just like in the zone if he was thinking that I’ll be shocked well I don’t know what you’re thinking man it’s golf like I mean you’re in your head sometimes yeah it’s it is hard because you obviously have all that time between shots and uh I mean the night before
Trying to go to sleep and like said you have that time on war like it’s not that’s the one thing I think that makes golf so different than any every other sport is it’s not as uh you’re not as reactive you know it’s like all the other sports you’re moving most mostly
You’re moving Non-Stop and you’re kind of reacting to what’s happening and other than timeout between quarters periods whatever it is like you don’t necessarily have that much time to kind of think about what could happen you’re just you’re just doing what is happening at that time um and I think that’s I was
Able to learn from past experiences because I I had had times whether it was tournaments or Majors that I’m you know walking down the Fairway thinking about oh if I just birdie this hole and I biry that hole and then I coup in the back
Nine I’m going to win and then I make four Bogies and finish 23rd and then you’re like well [ __ ] I wish I wouldn’t have done that so uh there for the my first major qu Hollow I was just very calm I I just got it for some reason was in a
Great frame of mind and kind of state of mind that day I I felt I felt very at ease and I felt more so like let everybody else [ __ ] up instead of me going to win this thing like just let everybody else make the mistakes uh
Which is kind of what happened I was projecting there because that’s usually what I say when I approach the ball and that’s what I’m talk talking to myself maybe that’s the problem maybe we fix that well always theal the back I think it’s always been the mental game but uh
If so so you’ve gotten two PGA championships if you could trade one the PGA championships for another major which major would you want I mean the Masters would be the most life-changing um a really really want to Wi Open Championship I think that just would be that’ be so badass I
Mean I look I don’t I don’t give a [ __ ] if it’s any of them I’ll I’ll I’ll take another PGA for all I care but um if I had to trade for one I definitely would trade for Masters okay you think most golfers would say if they could only win
One they’d pick the Masters it’s the most lifechanging it’s it’s going to be the most uh it’ll it’ll I mean not that you win Majors for that reason but it it would make you the most famous if you will like financially it’s gonna be the most impactful that I mean you’re always
Going to get invited back to Augusta you’re just historically mastered Champions are I hate to say a little more remembered but it’s hard if you win one are not a member after you win it you’re not no no [ __ ] but some of them have become members right condalisa rice is a
Member she is she is I don’t think she’s won the Masters to my knowledge she lost she lost the playoff one year oh no but uh you don’t you don’t you may you may get a little a little different uh privileges time to time but now you
Do not become a member but you do get to go and sleep in all like the silly bunks they have and the cult like uh structures right yeah they got some cabins they got the cabins they got the cabins they’re pretty I don’t think I’m
Ever gonna get the invite now which is a shame oh shocker I don’t think I don’t think that we we were ever going to be over there they’ have to resod the whole thing you know what you know what I find so weird about uh progolf is that you
Guys finish up and and tell me if I’m wrong you got these beautiful lock rooms played these awesome courses but then guys they never shower and get dressed in the locker room right don’t you guys just leave immediately it’s talk like just after a round yeah after a round or
After a tney I see you don’t you don’t use the locker room right uh on Sundays I I do on Sundays usually before I travel but no I mean after around it’s usually get if whatever you practice media whatever the hell it is that eat depending on the time of day and then
Our physios are generally set up at the golf course so see see him and then yeah it’s I head back yeah it is kind of wild I mean there there’s some guys that’ll like I heard a rumor they all stopped because D Shambo is a bird watcher
That’s why I heard hockey players love seeing wrenches yeah we love we love showering Biz would get out of his suit after being a healthy scratch doing the Manina in there I’d be bending over giving him the Timbit man from Tim Horton I would legit be a healthy
Scratch and Yan I’d have my suit on Yan be like take your suit off your shower with the boys I’d say all right I’ll get the pops like that was like that’s why I played the game was just stare wh Whit said that if you lined up every guy you
Ever played with you’d probably get about 80% of the guys if you covered their bodies and just had their horns exposed that’s all did you not say that with that was one year in college we had a very one year oh okay yeah right what would you put your percentage at now
Then if you were 80 then what’s I I I I I probably have dropped down having kids and a wife I at least have to say I dropped down unless I sewer myself but yeah right yeah that was that was a tough time in my life he draws themer
Over here are you like a are you hitting after every round in a tournament like like that’s got to be like if you play bad maybe you hit and if you play good you’re you’re going home uh it’s I’d say it’s 5050 I mean I sometimes it’s kind of like a nice
Little just it’ll lets them steam off kind of thing it’s uh it’s also every place is different I mean there’s some places you get done like the facilities are right there and some of them you got to take a shuttle along and it’s like look if I want to
Hit like eight balls or something like I’m not gonna get in a [ __ ] car and go take a eight minute shuttle just to hit a couple drivers like I’ll just I’ll just hit a couple extra tomorrow morning so it’s it just kind of depends but usually I’d say probably 5050 have you
Ever been invited on Ernie ell’s private jet I haven’t I’ve had a couple good drinking sessions with Ernie but I I haven’t been on his plane I think he he may have sold his plane by the time I had gotten on tour have you heard about have you heard about this guy wrestling
Guys in his playing when he get oh yeah yeah he kidnapped me one time uh this was like my first year living in Florida he had like a friend that was um that lived down the street from me and I was pulling in the house and um I saw him
Roll out my window I’m like Ernie what’s up and he’s like who the [ __ ] is that I’m like it’s Justin he’s like Justin who like Justin Thomas he’s like come over here and have a drink I’m like okay here we go and like had a buddy in town like I’m sorry
But we got to do this I don’t know what’s gonna happen we got to do it so I parked my car and went over to the house and about nine hours later we we went to sleep uh yeah we were he we were at his house and then or we’re at this guy’s
House and then he wanted to go to his house and I mean I was like already my house is right there like it just walk home and he literally picked me up threw me in his car locked locked the door this trainer that was with us drove us
Home he was we’re like in his guest house and we were out of uh we didn’t want to go to the main house to wake up and his family so we were we’re drinking vodka muscle vks oh my buddy he was calling him the he was calling him the wrong name the whole
Night I didn’t even care he’s like where the [ __ ] is he at he’s in the bathroom and he’s like all curled up around the toilet throwing up vodka Muscle Milk this guy so he’s one of those like old school you know talk about old school hockey players were like sixpack after
The round he’s just one of those type of throwback kind of guys yeah yeah I it’s definitely different here and now than think it used to be but he’s he’s such a good dude too and he’s just like so big and you know I mean he just sometimes he
Is he is but man he could uh he could he could throw back for sure uh okay so I had I had Buddies go to I don’t know if it was a major but it was in Washington and they went to uh they went to watch the warm-up session for the guy who’s
Always smoking the stoies is it him andz yeah yeah the stretching guy is funny stretch he he they said he was like moving his hips and then he stopped looked at the crowd and then we started going the other way and the whole crowd erupted so is you like if you ever had
Any encounters with him he’s just seems like a silly bastard yeah yeah he is I haven’t played with him a bunch but I mean I’ve played in terit with him where I’ve watched him do that and it it’s the wildest thing you’re like I don’t even
Know at this point if this is helping this guy but I feel like he’s just he’s committed and everybody like that everybody loves it so like I’d probably do the same thing too just impregnating women he looks like he’s pregnant himself if you’ve seen his Barrel on him just
Smoking stoies and drinking wine all the time um I mean like who who are some of the other old school guys that that that like are just like these Legends behind the scenes like Wick who can you think of of like he always don’t you play the the um master’s practice round with
Tiger and Freddy Couples every year right oh Freddy the rubbin tug Master bu bu oh is that a rumor that’s another rumor I just I just go on the internet believe everything I gota yeah I got to start getting you to send me these I need some some of these rumors from our
Creating them in his mind he’ll send you 15 tonight just imagine him I’m going to make one up about you but couple seems pretty sick he seems like a cool cat Freddy’s the man and he uh I mean his texts are hilarious like it just it’s out of completely out of nowhere no
Context like literally today like we had a group text from our Ryder Cup team and the vice captains in there and out of nowhere it it was probably 10: in the morning here so on the west coast 7 am. nobody had said anything in a couple day in all caps he just says
[ __ ] I’m like morning Fred what’s going on dude what like what and it just he’s basically calling all of us [ __ ] is what he’s doing and asking what we’re doing but he is uh he’s a freaking Beauty and he is so so much fun to to
Play play golf with and listen to talk uh what do you call him Tempo Town wit he’s got the best Tempo yeah yeah he’s just silky man silky bit his swing is it’s like compared to how short yours is his is that long he just wraps it around
Thereat Co he saw your swing he’d throw up it’s like the exact opposite of his the ter is coil by the way Whit just so you know little tea up there another little fun fact about you this one’s true you like to engrave your wedges with like quotes and funny things like
What what do you got in your bag right now what’s what’s tickling your fans with the quotes yeah I the ones I use I just have uh I think I just have maybe my initials on there um and radar just it’s what the I don’t know it’s a
Nickname that literally nobody on plan Earth calls me but it’s the the guy who makes the web just puts it on there whatever but my dad has a wedge that he likes to walk around with he he always has to have a club like he just needs
Something to like lean on I mean he’s been a teaching pro forever he’s used to just kind of being on the Range and leaning on a club and for years he would always just take a club out of my bag and do it and I would get pissed off
Because it would be a club that I’d need so I literally just started bringing an extra Club every week for him to hold and the vogi the the wedge rep started stamping the tournaments the years everything on it so he’s got this wedge that he says he’s like I think Co
Started on this this wedge I mean this thing is just it’s so old and got the grip is so nasty like it he’s got a I think it’s been four or five years now he’s had this thing um so um as hockey players you ever seen the movie
Slapshot I I haven’t seen it in a while but yeah I’ve seen it what’s what’s like the slapshot to PGA golfers like what’s the most authentic Throwback like the the best golf movie and it’s got to be Tin Cup gotta be right I I love that movie I mean I
Was gonna say maybe Happy Gilmore I mean what’s the yeah Shacks the yeah yeah I mean I I think you got a good argument like for Tin Cup and catty Shack but I think Happy Gilmore is a little more maybe new age but I I uh as
Much as I love Happy Gilmore it’s catty Shack and um and Tin Cup or are kind of the OG OG golf movies I’d say they kind of had a real life story with didn’t they with with that guy who came out of nowhere that real fun story I I mean I
Once again I know nothing about golf but that guy who oh that goon blocky that guy from this year why you call dude I hated this guy I hat no off you’re his friend no offs if you’re his friend this guy was a [ __ ] clown bizit was the
Guy who said if he drove it like Rory he’d be the best player in the world yeah but no he was a goon dude he was a go what would you how could you compare that in in the hocky world of like if
I’m just like I mean if I it be like R saying if I could skate I’d be like Mario Lem like no [ __ ] it was just I think the guy got a lot a lot of coverage and then ended up being a little bit of a you know a
Little bit of a blo heart I’ll say I mean now granted I’ve never met that guy quote I wonder what people think of me with the misquotes I [ __ ] call Freddy Couples the rubbing tug master I what they going to say about me on tour Jesus Christ um I I got a question
So right now crazy happenings in the world of pro golf right there’s live there’s the PGA Tour I imagine it can be like a little stressful for you guys I I did want like when you first got offered by them was there a thought of going or never at all did you
Consider it no really I uh I actually got an not arguments but actually no I would say arguments that the at the grow me remember about it because it was right after Rah had left and and uh you know just talking to people about it and everyone’s like well
I mean you got it number I was like no like I I don’t like well you’re telling me they offered you 400 million he would say no I’m like I would 100% say no I’m like I I totally understand like that’s ridiculous and asinine and it’s easy to
Say if you don’t but I’m like if and it sounds terrible but it’s like I’m I am not going to wake up tomorrow and do any I’m not GNA live my life any differently um and I’m not going which is everything ROM said too and I know I know I guess I
Should be careful but I mean there’s a there’s a point that’s kind of what I said at the beginning is I’m like look like if when we did didn’t know what was going to happen I needed to kind of know what was going on in case everybody left
I’ like I just want to play against the best players in the world if if everybody is there then I don’t really have an option right but now we still have the heavy heavy majority of the best players in the world on the PJ tour so and we’re continuing to improve the
Product and whatnot but it is it’s it’s it’s tough and everybody is different but I just man I I just I want to win this many P tour events as possible and as many Majors as possible and like I can’t imagine doing anything to potentially hinder that I mean I
Understand if they keep getting more guys then stuff might have to change but um I don’t know I just I I have that’s just me personally everybody everybody’s different and everybody has a number whatever you want to say but it’s tough is it hard for you to talk about this
Stuff like is it like do it Jam you up a little bit I know we talking get sick of it right it’s I mean I did I did at first it hasn’t been as much it wasn’t that much for a while and then again since ROM left it’s been more
Again but uh no I mean it’s it’s the reality right like it’s I think the most important thing is just as selfishly as a professional golfer like I want our sport to continue to get better and competing tours is not what’s best for professional golf and also there’s a
Great great uh podcast that kind of dissected a little bit more is that it’s a great point is like we’re we’re golf right like we’re not if we lose 20% call it of our fans like it’s not like we’re the NFL where a hundred million people are watching right there there comes a
Point where we can’t continue to lose more fans we need to be doing [ __ ] to get more and more fans so we can try to get to that level right so that’s what I was going to ask do you feel that maybe golf got a bit complacent and that’s why
That that whole eruption happened and do you think maybe that they need to figure out or maybe they have since a better way to compensate the guys who aren’t winning all the tournaments like the top 50 guys see I disagree I think I look at
It the other way man I really what do you mean and what what do you mean because I look at it like guys like you and they say there’s 30 other guys right that they’re the reason fans are watching and going so the guys that are beneath them are kind of like
Complaining where it’s like well dude people aren’t watching the guys who nobody knows they don’t really that’s not why any fans are going to the tournaments that’s why they’re watching the events so it’s like you got to play better and then you’ll be one of these
Guys so it’s like Biz the best players in every sport make the most money whereas in in golf like it doesn’t work that way by being the best player you don’t get anything extra right you get the same price for winning as a no-name guy would get I understand but I’m also
Not talking about like making the the purses bigger for those guys who are finishing like like you know 86 or whatever but is it not true that they have to pay for their own travel they have to pay for their own entry fee I just feel like with what the PGA was
Making maybe that type of stuff could be taken care of because as a fourth line or fifth line if I’m being honest player I still got to fly on the plane with the boys I still got to eat the fil M I still got to fart my protein farts you
Know like on on the private jet so it’s just like go to the Four Seasons like what about what about helping those guys out in that regard yeah that that is again there’s so many it’s always funny playing in Pro AMS and and and they’ll ask questions like that well like you
Mean you pay for your like we literally pay for everything like it’s not it’s it is we’re we’re our our we are our own team like at you know I’m paying for my hotels or houses every week my travel my food my paying you know paying my caddy
Coach whatever it is and yeah obviously the the bigger of a name you are the bigger endorsement deals but like you said what it’s like you you could go Monday qualify and and we have the chance to make the same amount of money that week PR money and I think that’s
Where some guys had some frustration of guys are bringing a lot more value than others I mean it’s like it’s like anything it’s just it’s you have I mean Patrick Mahomes is going to bring a lot more to the NFL than than else the specialy yeah t ter car like it’s just
It’s the way that it it it’s just how it is and I think that um but everybody has an opportunity to play their way to that and I think it’s I mean everybody knows playing in professional sports like it’s [ __ ] hard to get to the hard to get
To the NHL hard to get to the MLB hard to get to the PGA Tour and you know you kind of go your whole life it’s wanting to try to be the best at it and get there and then all of a sudden you you
Know you’re maybe not one of those top X guys that’s getting whatever and you’re like well why are they getting that why why am I not it’s like well then [ __ ] play better or yeah be be better at what you’re doing or just work on what you’re
Doing and you can be in the same position it’s but but I was also thinking though of like a certain number like how many people have their their card would you say 200 people on tour it’s 200ish have some kind of status yeah yeah okay so maybe there’s like a
Certain cut off where like I’m not saying they get to get their house or their private jet paid for but just even like a like a plane ticket Hotel yeah they they started something because it’s kind of similar to that they start if you’re you know you’re a rookie on tour and you
Come out and you miss say you play 25 events you miss 25 Cuts you don’t make a you make zero dollars playing you’re in the whole money actually you’re a couple yeah you’re there are 1002 200,000 in the red um so I mean that’s just the
Reality so the tour I it’s bad I don’t know the number but they came up with a almost like a stip in that every tour member gets at the beginning of the year it’s like here is your obviously there’s going to be guys that are you know if
You got guys that are flying around on a Gulf Stream versus people that are driving or or flying whatever it’s going to be different expenses but every person now is getting a stien to help with that to make sure that like I said you’re not playing as a
Rookie Miss every cut and you’re [ __ ] looking for a job because you lost a bunch of money wow well that’s kind of what can you explain to maybe people who who aren’t you know huge PGA fans like this is it the PIP where where guys get paid based on like popularity is that
How that works essentially yeah it’s the easiest way to say to say it I think it got it still is but it got very uh misunderstood as like a social media contest that’s all everybody thought was like oh their Twitter and their Instagram like guys dropping sex tapes
Yeah exactly I mean hey you wna probably help you win the PIP I don’t know if it would be help with some of your sponsors but you may win that but uh it it is it’s like it’s it has five categories it’s you know Google mentions your
Amount of time on TV your popularity at the US your popular you know people that literally have heard of your name I mean it’s just it essentially is like we were saying who are the most influential people in the world on the PGA tour that the reason that we’re signing these TV
Deals the reason that we’re getting these contracts the reason we’re getting these sponsors for this tournament the reason we’re selling merchandise we’re selling tickets to events and um obviously we have the purse we’re playing for every week but the PIP is something to the player IMPACT Program
What it stands for it’s just to basically reward the guys that are helping uh maybe grow the tour I don’t know just to to make it better and and hopefully more uh not watchable but just more popular and then uh I also heard something wait are they making the ball
So it doesn’t travel as far thoughts on this dude I I I don’t really understand why why recreational golfers like myself and Biz are getting punished but I don’t know your opinion on it oh it’s even me yeah D we’re going to we’re losing like 10 yards like we
Don’t have yards to spare you’re going to be hitting 875 yards soon do you think do you think people are going to start hoarding golf balls like the ones that are made now not a bad idea you’re on something want to get bu with us JT yeah well we’ll talk we’ll discuss
That post uh post call here but we could be on to something yeah it’s I’m not I’m not crazy about it I the reasoning of it I understand what they’re saying uh and in the decision but I just I think that just I don’t know how
You guys feel or how in terms of like hockey but in golf just the the people that are playing golf now are completely different than golf 20 years ago like there’s legitimate athletes that are playing golf now like the people are working out way differently than they
Used to for golf or they are they’re just physically stronger and they know how to hit the ball further like I just feel like I mean you look in B like people are jumping higher in basketball like they’re they’re running faster in other sport like it’s just people are understanding what technology nowadays
Just how to get more out of what they have and I kind of feel like that’s just what happened has happened with golf but y hates fun so they they want to roll the ball back yeah so so Biz my analogy would be like if in 5 to 10
Years there’s a lot of players as fast as McDavid where it’s like holy [ __ ] and the and the NHL was like all right well we’re going to make skates heavier it’s like you’re punishing put them in rent the skates you’re punishing guys for becoming like amazing at the craft that
They’re paid to do where it’s like well just because I figured out how to get all this speed like all of a sudden you’re going to it doesn’t make sense to me yeah to be fair when the PGA started like weren’t they playing with rocks like against Scotland wasn’t that
How it was all created yeah it was the technology was slightly different back then as well yeah um what was the other thing I was going to mention oh I got one more for you we’ve kept you a long time we appreciate it but um I I have a
Shot in my mind but I of yours but I’m wondering the best shot you’ve ever hit in in in a in a Tour event uh so I would rebuttal in the sense of the best shot like the one that would be the hardest to recreate or the best the
One that would be hardest to recreate the one you like I just I just [ __ ] pulled that off holy [ __ ] the three what I had in the Uso but Aaron Hills was was hands down the I mean I could put down a thousand balls and not like every time I
See that video I’m like what the [ __ ] like that doesn’t I don’t know how even even in the moment it just dude kind of black out sometimes when you get in those zones and in those modes and um it just was one of those that none of it
Makes sense like I don’t hit a 3w close to that like I know it was down when I know I had adrenaline pumping but there’s no reason for that ball to be able to fly that far and somehow land soft enough to go there it just yeah so
The three-wood on Saturday 18 of the US Open in 2017 it it it was like 300 yards and the reason I really remembered is he had these pink Whitney pants on bro he was rocking these pink pants with a little pink Whitney logo nobody even
Knows that Sky High oh it was sick and then the other one the other one that I thought was was pretty sick I don’t know the yardage but this the the shot you hit to the 7even teeth hole at the Players when it was like 50 mph in your
Face and I think it’s a wedge but you hit what’ you hit like six iron or something I yeah yeah it’s yeah it was I think I mean it was a back in that day so it’s probably 40 140 to 145 yards and yeah I mean that would just be a normally just
A wedge kind of just under the hole and it it was it was that was a windiest round of golf ever played it was probably blowing at least 303 and probably gusting up to 40 maybe a little more and it was like I just I mean the
Nerves that you have on that that specific shop because when it was that windy you’re like if I don’t get it on the green then I have to hit this shot again with no room for error and I just like you could make a 15 realistically exactly yeah you there’s there’s points
In your mind like I’m not I’m not going to finish this hole I’m not going to finish this tournament this is it right here do I just IIT I think I hit a seven and I hit a six or seven and I think I hit seven but I just choked down and I
Basically just kind of had this like window in my head of it just needs to kind of like stay under this tree line and almost like just chipping it out and I’m like just keep it underneath that and just get on grass as soon as
Possible and yeah it was I was very very happy when that ball landed on uh on grass well JT we have this thing called the Chicklets bump sometimes guys come on or often times guys come on and all of a sudden they they start popping off
Right I think that you’re going to win a Masters this year I think it’s going to happen Okay we’re you’re coming on after you’re coming on after when you get it done wear I’ll wear the jacket 100% that would be and now what just for for fans
Of yours What’s um what’s your first event of the Season uh Palm Springs it’s uh the I guess the third week in January uh so all it’s I think it’s AMX so I’m starting starting out in Palm Springs in a handful of weeks I was going to invite him I was going to
Invite him if he does win a masters you have to come join us in a sandbagger now we did this golf match in hallifax with Sydney Crosby and Nathan McKinnon like it was one the first golf video we ever did we didn’t know what it was going to
Be and I was playing lights out on the front nine JT i’ never played so good in my life wa what I have like five pars on the front he was I think he was like three over through eight holes like it was it was insane and McKinnon lost his
Mind he lost his mind he started calling me a sandbagger so we called these the sandbagger Invitational we just got done our our 20th one with Jeremy ronick and teu salani so maybe at some point in time we can get you for a sandbagger but you have to pick a partner that’s the
Only thing who would your partner be in a sandbagger what it uh Pi another golfer or do I pick a NHL guy either I the name Max homo was coming to mind because you said you’re buddies with him and we would love to get him Max would
Be good Max would be good yeah I think we we’d get we’d get 400 shots two bits we we be a decent spot we could make we could make quadruple bogey for birdie in this match so I I think that that could be a good it’s called the Sam bers cup
For a reason you guys are probably gonna win that match before the even start and we get buckled if you had to pick a current NHL player who would you play or even retired who would be your guy other than Sid because he’s already played in
One all right if I’m pick it if I can go retired I want Bret Hull for sure [ __ ] we’ve been trying to get hly for one oh yeah CU you’re so I played troubadors in Nashville you’re you’re there right great spot yeah it is yeah I’ve played
Some golf with Holly I yeah that that would be entertaining in many ways and and he’s good so that’s perfect he’s the John Daly of hockey that’s the way I describe Kelly Chase used to work out there and when those two would get together the stories that they had were
The funniest [ __ ] because Chase had the best impression of H’s little squeaky voice and he would just kind of sit back there and laugh Li you’re saying so that’d be good that’s awesome well we can’t thank you enough this awesome this awesome yeah boys now now thank you guys

Uh who’s the lawence no no no no no she’s going to end up in the end being more of um who’s the woman that everybody always talks Street she’s gonna end she got she got two uh leading act leading actress award so far and
What was her other movie uh la la la la ly maybe it was la la ly so she’s got two best female actress and she’s 35 years old and she’s just like she’s beloved she start off super bad too that’s that’s why I was asking Jeffy I was like
Didn’t she start off in super bad that’s such a [ __ ] come up that is from the start of from the bottom now we here um Oppenheimer deserved uh the the best picture though right oh 100% yeah they had 13 nominations W seven of them uh picture director actor support and actor
Cinematography editing and score and I’ll tell you like I I thought Lily Gladstone was going to win best actors from that uh was it killer of the flower Moon there the the scorey one about the Indians getting killed for the oil I thought she was definitely going to win
And then I watched that poor things over the weekend the one Emma Stone was in and I was like oh boy I don’t know I I don’t know if Lily Gladstone’s gonna win she was unfuckin believable like in that movie poor things I don’t know if you’ve
Heard about it was up for best what’s about R dude it’s it’s about it’s so crazy this this director yoro Laos I don’t know how you say his last name he makes the craziest [ __ ] movies Biz like go Google his [ __ ] in his uh filmography he makes insane
Movies well she plays like a a a [ __ ] girl who lives with a doctor who basically it’s such a crazy plot like implants a brain into her brain and she’s like a child even though she’s an adult I can’t even explain it it’s a [ __ ] up movie they doing a good job
They they they do it kind of so they so so Emma Stone gets a new brain and it’s the brain of a child it’s put in her so she’s a grown adult female but yet she has the mind of a child what does he have her doing well and he’s he’s doing
It as like a science experiment corre but then all of a sudden she finds her libido as you say if anybody else they wanted to see Emma Stone naked this is the movie you’re probably gon want to watch [ __ ] she’s new in this oh yeah many times yeah yeah and what do they
Call it jumping like button uh you you see full they she probably must have blown out her Bush full bush cuz she shows that a few times all over the place but it’s not you know I’m not even try to like sexualize the movie but it it’s definitely a horny movie she she’s
Like this like I don’t want to say [ __ ] the wrong word a mute a mutant or whatever it is and then she starts becoming like a woman and like starts getting horny all the time and then she like runs off with a guy it’s such a [ __ ] crazy can’t wait to watch this
Movie and have basically nothing to do with what you just said dude what do you think the director would say about the recap of that film but he’d probably like spot on trust me dude this guy’s movies are so [ __ ] up anybody who’s listening to his Cen Yos L deos how they
[ __ ] say his name movie the craziest movies did the movie get good ratings your your review makes me want to watch this so [ __ ] bad and it makes me want to never watch a movie again I I didn’t want to try to explain it I just tell been telling people to
Watch it all right if you if you want your next job you should be doing uh like twom Minute review Recaps on movies and then people can Rotten Tomatoes you on how much you matched it up to what the actual movie was um if you want to
If you this is likeis SK and Ebert on meth you’re both people um now the Oppenheimer I was on a flight my last cross crunchy one and I started it and I I didn’t get to finish it but it obviously had a slower Pace but anytime you add in good cinematography
With great acting and a good plot like I was not bored for one second next time I go watch it I’ll restart it from scratch that’s how much I liked it and he so he was was should he have won best actor of all the ones up for it oh Murphy yes oh
100% yeah yeah 100% yeah I know I know there was a late Buzz for Paul gamti and then hold overs and I’m a huge Gatti fan but there was no way he he was going to win [ __ ] beat beat Murphy for that I loved him in that wine movie was it
Called sideways sideways oh yeah great [ __ ] mov a great movie I’m not [ __ ] Mero yeah no ah dude that movie did wond this for Pino Noah man nobody ever [ __ ] heard of Pino Noah before that movie unless you were like a a real wine freak that like created a whole industry
For like one type of wine man it really did say p Noir again P Noir dude check out Biz dog tooth the lobster the killing of a sacred deer those the [ __ ] y ghl Theos movies they are the craziest [ __ ] movies you’ll ever I’m going to check these out
Already insane insane movies but anyways I did have one part that I forgot to mention on the Pod so I actually got a text from uh from MCD Ryan MCD to throw a softball to him in her pregame interview um about that a little bit of
Backstory to the Shere so they got the the team trip cancelled so remember that 10f band I was talking about yeah uh Tyson Barry was like [ __ ] it and he brought it to the locker room and then he started the this beer called chili ones and they started doing the chili
Ones after every win so since then they’re 10 and one and the 10f song before they go out or while they’re out there from warmup is what’s kind of ignited the group and bonded the group missing their musical experience but here here’s the kicker and I didn’t text
Him to tee this up in the meantime we invested as a group me and five other buddies Ryan O’Reilly is one of them Tyson Barry’s another I am and then a couple of our Victoria buddies to invest in this Ten feay Band so we threw up a
Lob saying what’s kind of changed the Mojo of the team and then he plugged them on the air for so that was the sneaky Banger a while ago so in the meantime we’ve invested in this band called Ten so I thought that was pretty cool they ended up giving a a shout out
To the band that we’ve uh invested some money in and I’ve mentioned their sneaky bangers before uh the the one I want you guys to listen to now is that Ed track and the one that I had you guys listen to before there’s two albums they
Got going I know you guys are like oh this is such a Shameless plug Y is just punching his steering wheel right now [ __ ] [ __ ] y Rick from Red Deer what I can’t have things I enjoy and [ __ ] I’m just saying remember I think when you gave out the original sneaky Banger
He was like he hated the song but you know how many F compliments I got about it the original tune I pumped was super rich now if you like the tune go to Yan’s Instagram and give him the the [ __ ] you Emoji to tell him to shut the
Hell up and stop being so goddamn critical isn’t he the other one who’s getting on me about saying the word silly or is that just you uh I think I got on you for that I think he was getting on you for um the thank yous you
Give out but you know you’re a nice guy you know what G do me a favor at the end of the show Play the song Ed by them and and I’m sure they’ll be fine with you giving them or getting clearance from it cuz they’re independent well actually
Sorry they’re owned now or at least partly get to work get back in the studio the best part of that story for you was the fact that you were able to be given a question to be asked McDonald because I know when when you’re interviewing a player and they tell you
What to ask you’re like thank God I don’t have to think of anything exactly cuz sometimes I could fall off a cliff with those so uh you know shout out to the the nationville Predators 1011 stretch and to the 10fay band who has been getting them and their mojo back you’re

4,000 guys played one game or more in 120 years in the NHL I go if you have a statistic there’s no [ __ ] way that I can’t beat this because there’s no way I should have played in the NHL so you can keep that I don’t care about any of that
[ __ ] we’re going to get better and um since that day on we’ve been working at getting better and they got it in remission and look man if I could tell you guys if some happened to one of you guys you I’m I’m telling you I know this
Would happen you would you would wake up 10 days later in the state I was in and you wouldn’t you would not freaking believe how many people reached out you wouldn’t believe the people that reached out to you that you said that guy doesn’t like me because I was a dick to
Him on the ice or that I told that guy this or I said this about this guy on spin chicklets you wouldn’t believe how many guys will call you and you’re gonna go there’s whole [ __ ] someone’s playing a joke on me Chris Draper did not text
Me I was an [ __ ] to Chris Draper but you know what he did and he gives a [ __ ] and you know might not hear from his Winger but but the other side of it honestly like the guys that reached out to people you couldn’t write them all [ __ ] down
With you couldn’t write them down you you you you you you don’t have the time or energy to get back to everybody that’s just amazing to hear like your attitude no surprise at all when hearing that that tough news and how you approached it all and and the
Most amazing thing actually it wasn’t even that surprising but still amazed me was when we talked to Glenn Healey at the allstar game he mentioned that he went over and saw he’s like he’s got an exercise bike in there with him like was that just kind of how you approach it
I’m going to keep working out I’m going to do whatever I can to stay active during this well it’s funny because I’ve been getting a lot of grief from guys saying you took a pelaton in there and I said yeah like you didn’t work out that much when you [ __ ] played and now
You’re taking a p You’ have worked out de hard when you played you’d have played three years long but uh but I actually I I read this uh I read Lance Armstrong’s book and I just I I actually have a friend that’s really tight with him and I talk to him
On the phone and uh and I just said he goes no I wrote it just because that’s what I did he goes I didn’t ride it for any reasons but I thought it would move the it would move the can chemo and stuff around in me and I wanted to keep
Busy so I made a deal with the doctor um and I said listen I he goes you’re not you’ll be sleeping under that thing in three days I go we’ll see so now you know you know how we and we’re and you know what’s great about my doctor is
He’s like they’re not the norm leave them alone leave these guys alone because if you went in the hospital and you walked down the hallway you’d feel sorry for people you guys have been going in the hospital your whole [ __ ] lives trying to help people right and
You look in that room and go I got to go in and talk to that young girl I’m GNA go in and talk to that guy that guy’s struggling but you don’t put yourself in that predicament and I didn’t when I was in there because I was looking at people
Going [ __ ] this poor bastard’s sick and I and I didn’t realize how sick I was but I was like oh but I’m going to ride the bike okay well they tell me well you’re going to be sleeping under it okay so I did 100 push-ups a day
Sometimes it would take me all day I would do 100 sit-ups and and again your body exhausts right I try and walk seven miles in the hospital and and I would ride at least 30 minutes a day so I did that 24 days in a row and I made a deal
With the doctor I said listen if I do this and I get my account back I want to get the [ __ ] out of here I don’t want to be in here I can’t take it like just let me get the hell out of here and so we
Made a deal and um he had a little short fall and he’s ended the deal by two days and I was pissed off and I don’t know if you guys have heard that story about twister but um there’s there’s very few 3:00 am guys and you know you hear your
Buddies go all [ __ ] it 3: am that’s who I call he’s coming until his wife says Get the Hell back in bed the police are there right then the guy’s not coming anymore Tony twist he’s coming and uh I had a I had two days where my doctor was
At a at a at a seminar and he didn’t show up and my numbers were there and I’m ready to get the [ __ ] out of there and I I have a I have a complete breakdown in the shower at 11: at night and iing hyperventilating and crying and
And uh I C make the real strong decision call Tony twist okay that’s a [ __ ] real there’s think you’re thinking through [ __ ] right now okay so I call my body and all he says you you you seen in the town where where where Ben Affleck
Says listen I’m going to ask you to do something could never talk about it again we’re going to hurt some people and Remy goes whose car are we taking well I call twister and I tell him the exact same thing okay and all he says to
Me is first he says are you okay when I call because he can tell I’m I’m rattled I’m [ __ ] up and I go no you got to get me the hell out of here and he goes what I go get me out of here right [ __ ]
Now like get me out of here I’m losing it he goes all he says is are you hooked up to anything and I said no he goes be there in 25 minutes I [ __ ] think it through a bit and go this is not the best idea now
This is GNA go out and people are gonna go what the [ __ ] happened at that hospital but I tell them you want to ask me something B no no I’m just I’m laugh I’m just loving your your your optimistic approach jaser I think people are are are going to absolutely love
This I was going to ask you but you kind of answered the question already like throughout this process and how positive you’ve been like how many points of vulnerability when you would break down because when you obviously when you first talk to the doctors they probably get different reactions from different
People but obviously you being you you were like no let’s [ __ ] go baby I’m going right after this but you you have your have I had one I had one of them with with twister like right so I think it’s through and I call them back and I
Said where are you he goes I’m 15 minutes I said don’t come here tonight come tomorrow morning right after they see me they’re not going to notice till shift change at four so [ __ ] don’t come in here till after I see the doctor get me out of here he goes what do I

About twister and he Chuckles that I say it but Tony twist is Scholastic Player of the Year a couple times s okay in the Western and he’s smart enough to run a bank he’d rather rob it sometimes I think this his fing personal okay so I
Love the guy but you you gotta kind of know twister a little and he’s the best and he’s and and he’s a 3 a.m. guy so I he goes all right so sure [ __ ] in the morning he shows up got a little little uh deal to roll the you know the

Have been out of here two [ __ ] days ago I go and I’m pissed off and I said I want to get out of here this is and I’m and I’m serious like I’m having one of those moments you’re talking about emotionally like I’m I’m going to have a a
Meltdown and they call it chemo fog or chemo brain whatever the [ __ ] I’m having but I’m you know I’m not and he looks over and he sees Tony and twister is just standing there with his beanie on all big and tough mean looking as hell
And he goes how you doing and he goes Ramsey Bo and he twister nods his head and he goes you a hockey player twister goes nope and of course he says listen I’m G and he looks over at me and goes I’m going to get you out of here

The bike and just walked out twister did because now my can come and get me because he’s discharging me right so uh twister [ __ ] got the bike and everything out of there and on a 20 so I went home on a 22nd on the 27th I went in for a bone
Biopsy I was not supposed to get out until the 5th of January and not supposed to go in for my second round till February so so so basically they’re they’re you know we’re a month ahead all right and twister um he’s kind of been around a little bit
My wife’s she doesn’t know what’s going on cuz cuz him trying to get get me out of there and I’m in this biopsy come in and he says listen we’re going to when you want to start second round I said right now he goes I knew you’re GNA say
That you can’t start right now not have beds available but we get you in we end up getting me in January one but I come in the room after my vitals and I can tell he’s something’s wrong and I go what’s up and he goes we’re gonna let
You out we’re gonna make you an out patient you seven days of chemo we just make you out patient he goes no no blood cells no immune system no you know no white count no platelets but he goes and I go okay and he goes right right because I mean that
Makes sense like [ __ ] he goes you’ll just get the big guy and he’ll take you out of there and I realize he’s telling my wife [ __ ] and and I love this doctor right and I’m like this [ __ ] so I I look at him I go really and he and my wife gives
Starts in to me like yeah you can come out you can stay with twists that’s where you’ll live because you’re not you’re not move and it starts and this [ __ ] starts right and I’m like so anyways the rap bow on it I I have to agree that I’m going to stay in the
Hospital but but I look at him and I said hey one thing I can tell you about your doctor seminar you were on the next time you’re at one you get all the doctors gathered around before the end of the seminar and you explain to them
You might think us hockey because as he says to me you don’t have you don’t have the flu you got [ __ ] leukemia like you’re not going home like and I said one thing you can get the doctors around and all agree on one thing about hockey players you might think we’re [ __ ] up
But we don’t run home and tell our wives everything okay so you don’t need to [ __ ] run and tell and and he’s rattled he’s rattled at me right because she needed to know and show giving it to the doctor oh yeah you got to get your
Win somehow eh oh my God you gotta you got to get your win it’s called a draw so you mentioned that right now is the fourth round and this is the first time you’re really dealing with the nausea that that’s that’s tough like are is there a number of rounds you’re hoping
Would be the last one like what’s the info for that fifth round is my last one and if it stays for remission then we just go on and it’s just story it’s behind us guys y next year you know I’ll collect something else maybe it’ll be diabetes or something I don’t know what
The hell I’m go Chaser like the one thing about you man is like you your wheels never stop spinning so in the midst of not only like training for a [ __ ] ultramarathon while battling leukemia I was doing that I was barely moving to pedals but you’ve also been
Organizing a way to raise money for charity and for cancer research and I want you to talk about that and like it’s just a testament to who you are man the fact that you’re dealing with what you’re dealing with and yet you’re still thinking of others you’ve always been
That guy you do an incredible job for the alumni not only in just St Louis but the entire NHL you’re an OG Buddy so what’s going on you got something going on with gu Brooks now yeah you know what there’s the announcement uh what well so
So so here’s the deal so so what we got is um Let me let me let me just back up a little bit so we have our chapor president’s meetings I’m the chairman of the NHL Alumni Association I know you had eels on and we’re pretty proud of
What we built with the Alumni Association you guys did a hell of a job of interviewing heels and figure it out because I think there’s a lot of alumni that don’t even know we have an alumni association [ __ ] and they don’t even know how to get a hold of guys and they
Don’t know how to reach out for help and there’s a lot of guys that [ __ ] need it okay so that’s the first thing so we’re having our chapter president’s meetings in St Louis and I said and then they asked me hey would you be interested in you know doing this bike
Ride and I’m thinking you know bike ride for charity it’s already organized and I said you know maybe we just do our own event what I wanted to do was I wanted to get my doctor an opportunity to plug money in research that was missing I
Wanted to make sure look I I know all of this stuff has to happen as a collaboration but I don’t don’t want to build a [ __ ] parking garage I want I wanted to go to research like this guy could possibly have saved my life and I
Want to say thank you but I also want to say look at you know because because as hockey players we’re we’re a mile wide and an inch deep every time someone [ __ ] asks us for something you guys do it all the time we [ __ ] go running
And we we kiss the baby and then we walk out but we never really know what the hell the baby’s sick from or or or sometimes we do but we don’t really we don’t dig in but what a platform so now I got this platform I’m like okay I got
To think about this so sometimes we have good ideas and we’re shitty at monetizing so I go I’m gonna I’m gonna do this well four days into my I go I’m going to try and do this event so I’m going to tell you guys this first the four days into my treatment I
Get a call from a guy that I think is as tough as anybody that played certainly as mentally tough as anybody play and it’s Darren Kimbell and he says to me Hey listen uh I wanted to talk to you a little bit and he’s kind of emotional
I’m like how you doing buddy and I go I’m good and you know I go I’m GNA be all right you know he’s talking to me about it and he goes he goes I got to be honest with you he goes I got leukemia and I’ve told nobody and that’s why I
Didn’t show up for the parade uh in 19 so this [ __ ] guy is get dealing with leukemia like I am and he’s doing it with his family three PE three other people that know and I’m like dude you’re like first of all the whole [ __ ] league would be there to support
You and help you it’s not his style okay but I finally have convinced him the reason I’m telling you guys on this show is because he’s going to be a part of this event but I’m like Kim you can’t do this by yourself like and he’s been battling
Like a [ __ ] and he’s so damn tough and stubborn and I’m like dude you got to tell people because we can help people what if you’re what if someone in your family gets it and we could have plugged the hole with some of this money
Like we I need you like I need you and then we used to see Tony Granado you know MZ uh Troy Murray’s suffering from a different type of cancer but he’s you know got cancer and and so he’ll be a part of it Brian Bo with the leukemia
Will be there you see these guys and you’re like this is big these are Big tough [ __ ] guys you played against Tony Granado and didn’t get [ __ ] slashed he was sick okay because and Kimble like it doesn’t pick and choose who it gets so so kimby now is a part of
It and hopefully his daughter London sings The Anthem but this guy’s tough as anybody that ever [ __ ] played and here he’s been suffering by himself so I’m like okay now we’re doing this thing so we started thinking about how we could do it well we always have these
Charity games got a great college rink where our practice facility is so I started thinking what could we do to make it a little bit better so the chapter president meetings are on let’s ask a bunch of those guys because that’ll give it a different flavor of
Guys that are going to be at the event right Adam Graves will be there so you start phing Kim’s buddies Shell’s coming Eddie Belfor is gonna play defense they’ll Boo the piss out of those two guys in St Louis it’ll be great you know and and it’ll be like it’ll be a fun
Event well then I call DB Sweeney and Dave Kier who are always playing these games you know that are kind of that the Hollywood guys that kind of want to and then I started thinking about it and Trevor uh Rosena plays in Old Dominion the band he I
Asked Trev Trev you want to come play he’s like are you sure this I go absolutely then I called Dirks Bentley Dirks is gonna play so then you start you know getting guys coming in and then I started calling a bunch of our friends and saying I just wanted my buddies
There you know best coach I ever had in the NHL Joel Kenville he’s been in hiding I said Q I need you to come in for this he goes all right I wouldn’t miss it he’s coming in so then I’ve been on gret’s ass and hul’s coming again so
That’s one bench then you start calling other people and saying Hey I want someone Shawn pton as you know from gauer there b uh he he uh coach says now he’s now here’s the scoop on him the [ __ ] guy’s gone out and got eight sessions of ice and he wants to play in
The game okay so he’s gonna he’s trying to skate right now so he can play he’s cramming you gotta get him on your pelaton program get him in shape the guy’s got a bit of a belly I think he’s gonna I think he’s gonna take warm-up
And then he’s figure it out but it’s going to be gret it’s going to be Granado Payton and gu Brooks on that bench so gu is coming and uh so so we’ll have the the the Pipers in uh from Canada the three top Pipers and and
Heels that’ll pipe the guys in when we do the introductions to start the game we’ll do uh we’ll have a halftime show um uh Trevor Rosen will sing uh a song Dirks is going to sing one song G’s going to be up in the VIP room after
The game he’s going to uh do a meet and greet with everybody in the whole VIP area we’ve got you know tickets for that um you’re gonna have all the great stars that are there and we’re gonna have like 80 guys there like we I think if I
Looked at the list we have 40 guy 40 some guys or 48 guys or whatever it is here the guys that are in town and can make it uh will be here obviously and then we’ll have another 40 from out of town at least 40 from out of town so we
Have packaging and swag and everything I’m sure you guys going to send [ __ ] uh swag and everything for hundred guys uh in the alumni because they’re coming in and we we just it’s going to be a and we’ll just have a party Craig nin house of course ner that plays at all our
Events uh will be singing and he’ll be kind of the house band and playing he’ll be down on the ice singing both uh Amazing Grace and Hallelujah with the Pipers when they do it and they’ll do that three and a half minute video that uh Healey has that uh that uh
Springsteen allowed us to do uh no surrender no Retreat the video of the guys from the 40s right till now and it’s it’s pretty cool so it’s going to be a it’ll be a fun time and listen we the the the objective here is to you
Know try and raise a half a million or more dollars and help these guys not just help people like me because they’ve already helped me but [ __ ] who knows who who like it’s going to affect somebody it’s just a matter of you know when it gets you and so for me like I
Said I I’ve always just to help as many people as I could and I’m fortunate to have that platform but I don’t think I dug in as deep as I have in this deal because obviously it’s more personal so the chase family will be part of the donation Factor as well Chase that’s
Unbelievable yeah I was going to ask what’s what’s the DAT of this and we’d love to not only send merch but maybe for the ladies and attendants we’ll send a full day of RA being a maid we’ll put him in a maid outfit he’ll clean their entire house get the little the little
Duster put the nipple clamps on them get the duster out I think that would go for quite a few bucks what do you think rear uh probably 15 20 bucks maybe I know we’re anything if I’m doing that yeah right you’ve never been to St Louis me and wh went
There on a ptoa camp buddy those girls would love you in town hey not only that there’s a whole bunch of guys that are bringing their wives that would love to have them off there they pte for that [ __ ] Fox it’s April 5th is the game is 7
O’clock at centine which is our practice facility and uh and listen I mean it’s going to be fun I look I I just first of all I just love seeing the guys around like you get Holly around you know oh my God [ __ ] you can’t even pass like [ __ ]
When you start hearing that [ __ ] again and you you just can’t help but laugh and I I was telling this story the other day about how we were laughing because the last time gret’s had his Fantasy Camp was like the last time I was on the
Bench with Holly well I guess no that’s not true the outdoor game was but but he had he was Carbono was a centerman and carbo gunned to pass across the ice and it skipped just before it got to Holly hit him right in the boot okay and he
Just turned around he come to the bench didn’t act like it hurt or nothing and he says Sparky because you know all the oiler guys are there and Sparky’s there he goes Sparky could you [ __ ] get a 916 wrench for [ __ ] carbo stick and have him adjust that [ __ ]
Thing the entire bench is and laughing it’s just a constant bitching so I’m looking forward to seeing guys I haven’t seen for a long time and listening to stuff like that Bentley Dirk Bentley’s probably a confident guy but give him one shift with Holly and talk to him after just
Sitting there like this never sing again he’ll be he’ll be playing School gymnasiums moving forward have you guys heard the story about when twister got called up and Holly with a jersey this is this is he they put Twister on left wing he’s a left defenseman he catches a pass at the red
Line he takes two steps he goes to to dump it in and he it it catches in the spoon it goes straight up in the [ __ ] air he takes off I’ve never seen it before i’ seen it again he put himself offside it went straight up in the
[ __ ] air and it landed behind him okay and Holly’s on the bench and he looks at Bob Barry and goes Bob who the [ __ ] gave that guy a jersey okay now that guy instead just [ __ ] you know and then in the game twister proceeds to grab a hold of somebody and
Just pound the living [ __ ] out of him and hly turns around goes Bob never mind Hey so as I I kind of view uh holler as like NHL’s John dy I don’t know if you think that’s a fair fair comparison but Wayne was telling me that he’s one of the smartest guys going
Where he would do the he would said he would do the hardest crosswords in like four minutes where everybody else would be trying to team up to get him done so his brain is just three steps ahead at all times 100% he would do the USA Today
Cross word okay so they would put it in first of all Brad Hull is the most flexible athlete I’ve been around okay to this right now Holly just lays his palms of his hands even with the belly down on the floor spit in the splits oh
He could do the so La in the splits position in in the locker room big tall coffee okay big tall coffee and the USA Today crossw word and he would go against the whole coaching staff on the PSA today Crossroad and on the weekends on the weekends he would get the New
York Times okay and just R like he’s brilliant first of all he’s brilliant okay and and so like those guy and he they couldn’t beat him and it was hilarious and he’ just walk in and throw it on their desk like just walk in you know pitch it on the coach’s desk
Time and just [ __ ] walk out of the you know and we used to laugh about it right and and I think at times they would [ __ ] really like they would come in to check to see if if there was people guys helping them and aside from
Doug Crossman there was no one on that [ __ ] team that was gonna help at all maybe twister but I mean G butcher me the sutters we’re not helping them with the [ __ ] USA Today cross word okay so he he would just come in and toss it on
The coach’s desk and he would he would smoke him every time he’s a he’s a really bright guy what what would you what would you say is holler’s most legendary story we hear about how he served a Too Many Men penalty and he told was it Keenan that he didn’t want
To and yet he told I don’t serve penalties yeah I’ve heard guys tell a version of that but it but I’m telling you it was I don’t serve penalties uh in La when he scored and I’m sure you guys have heard have you heard that one where
He he scored in La it’s actually uh um it in uh uh a book someone wrote it up at uh who wrote the book Beauties who wrote the book on TSN oh was it James duy James du yeah so duth phoned me about he goes did this happen I’m like it
Happened and then he looked it up and he’s like I’ll be goddamn but what it was was we were playing in LA and at the end of the game Holly didn’t go on the ice because he was a defensive liability and which if you look at his
Stats I think he had 72 one year and he was minus two okay so got of was like you know where you can’t score 72 or 86 and be minus two whatever it was he was minus two that year so anyways Brian wouldn’t put him on the ice and they
Scored a tie up late LA and he just jumped over the boards and so Sutter sent out basson Lowry and Sutter Brian was coaching Richie was playing and hly wouldn’t come off the ice so garari goes hey one of you [ __ ] guys get off the ice you’re going to give you too many
Men on the ice penalty and uh so finally and hly won’t turn around the whole bench is screaming at hly and he goes Richie [ __ ] off and so Richie Sutter finally just turns around and goes off the ice because Holly’s told him like you know you’re just get off the ice
Like so poor Richie is just doing what he’s told and um off the ice he goes hul’s doing Loops kujo’s got to make four saves and the puck Springs out on the left wall hly goes down the left wall kind of cuts in I want to say it
Was bodger could have been gy just kind of cuts in and rips one Kelly Rudy I think is an off glove left-handed and it just beats him high stick like he thinks it’s going glove and it’s in and there’s like I’m not kidding you like there’s
Seconds left in the game 13 seconds left in the game and he doesn’t even let anybody congratulate him he just [ __ ] peels off after he goes in comes right to the bench slides stop into the bench and goes [ __ ] like we’re playing overtime in LA right right to the club right to the
Club no shower right to the Forum club and [ __ ] and I’m telling you the whole bench is like at Dave Tomlinson the reason I knew how for Dy to find the story was I said listen man I don’t know the date I can’t tell you the year but
Dave thinon had 100 games in NHL and and most of them were Boston and I go if if he’s in La playing it happened that game cuz he was sitting beside me and he and he kept saying to me are you [ __ ] kidding me are you kidding me does this
Happen often are you kidding me and he just and I started laughing I just said man it happens a lot like [ __ ] like that and I’ll tell you one I I told it the other day and he was laughing and I leaned over at celio’s retirement I’ll tell the story is uh we
Were in we were in uh uh Montreal and there was a there was an article in the newspaper and it showed it showed uh p Patrick and it showed Holly and it was basically in French a showdown a shootout or Showdown so it’s was in both papers and it was basically Holly games
Patrick W and Holly was scoring all the goals and Patty was you know having a hell of a year so we came into town early so you know we practice and what we do after after practice right we go to the Sha Prix so we go to the Sha Prix
And anyway guys leave there and they go uh uh they go do what ever anyway I went to Barbie barn that night you know we all you know how you heard about you had to go to Barbie barn up there you don’t now you go to places you know you can
Afford anything now but it was this barbecue place they used to send all the players so we go there I get back to the room and I’m rooming with them I Room them for S and a half years so this [ __ ] is like you’re used to it I’m used to
This right and Ron Wilson calls my room and he says hey you got to go get the big guy and I go what he goes you got to go get him and I go and it’s we got 11 o’clock curfew and it’s 10 to 11: I go

Sho them away and getting rid of these guys I go come on we got to go and he’s like come on sit down for one I’m like nope come on we gotta go so finally I get him to go he [ __ ] complains the whole way out of the place doesn’t say
Anything to me go back upstairs pissed off brushes his teeth goes to bed goes out the next game we’re winning like four five1 in the first period and he’s got three and he wouldn’t shoot he wouldn’t shoot any more he wouldn’t score score more than three goals in a
Game cuz he didn’t he goes I don’t need these [ __ ] shadowing me like they did my old man so if he scored three he [ __ ] shuttered out he wouldn’t shoot in that anymore wouldn’t score an empty that goal [ __ ] it was unbelievable he he should have another 50 okay and so he
Goes so I’m [ __ ] saying I can see him at the end of the first period standing by the boards wait like waiting and he usually just goes off the ice and I’m like what the [ __ ] so I’m the last guy off the ice I’m coming across I come
Across the old Forum I get to the door he goes I [ __ ] told you we should have stayed there was no reason to leave this french guy can’t stop me [ __ ] he just scored three and he’s still thinking about you pull him out of the CL I should have had another hour
There like you are you are a different specimen if that is what’s in your brain in an NHL game after you just put three up in the first yeah maybe not maybe [ __ ] I went home and got some sleep and maybe that’s why I got three no thank
You Fu no thank he thinking yeah we still have 40 minutes to but oh my God oh my God it never ends he’s the best oh no he’s he’s the best man he the [ __ ] I used to I used to laugh at him sometimes and you know he could piss you off too
Like he could because he was tough on people and he and he you know and but he but I’ll tell you what when it I you never you never ever ever and you can watch it on any playoff game that he’s ever played in look at his playoff
Points first of all it’s a they’re a joke I mean but you never went into a big game worrying about whether he was showing up to play ever ever ever and there’s very few guys that scor goals like that you can say that about you
[ __ ] knew he he went to the front of the net Daren Hatcher beating the [ __ ] out of him with a [ __ ] aluminum stick went to the front of the net Bob Rouse those guys that were mean tough bastards Jamie mcau [ __ ] he went to the front of
The net took a beating scored the goals never bitched didn’t lip off a guys and then also knew like I mean one time in his entire career where he said something to twister and I where he said hey [ __ ] Su Lee Norwood cross checked him in the face and he had
Uh Gordy out tape down his cheek and in his teeth that’s how hard he got him and he goes could somebody [ __ ] do something please so you know basically it’s the only time ever where he where he said anything to us where yeah handle my dirty laundry that’s the only time

Ain’t going to do it so keep on fighting brother uh G I want to turn it over to you I know you had some words you want to uh share with the audience B yeah bear with me guys this is going to be kind of hard for me to get through but
Uh I feel like I just I want to share this with you guys I want to be transparent with kind of what I’m going through right now um about two weeks ago my life kind of got flips up upside down uh both my mom and my girlfriend were
Diagnosed breast cancer uh my mom had surgery pretty quickly she’s in a good place but Al my girlfriend she has a long way to go um and I was going to keep this to myself I really didn’t want to come on here and you know had people
Think I’m asking for sympathy or but I went home this weekend and after talking to my mom and and talking to Alana it would be such a shame if we didn’t use this platform that we have just to remind everyone out there to to go get
Checked right like if you’re a female go get your breast checked if you’re a male go get your nuts checked go get anything checked go to a doctor cuz an hour out of your day it could save it could save your life so and it’s funny cuz I was
Actually the one who found the lump on Alana um shout out to me for having sex um it it it felt like a grape felt like a blueberry uh right away I knew something was wrong uh we went we went to look and get it checked the first
Doctor initially said um you know don’t worry about it it’s it’s probably nothing and sent Elana back without doing any testing so it’s kind of one of of those things where like you need to listen to your body because a few months later she just just kept thinking like
Something’s wrong something is not right here so she ended up going back they did the biopsy it uh it turned out to be cancer and you know come to find out that young women are being diagnosed with breast cancer at like an alarming rate right now and that’s that’s scary
Because they don’t know why this is happening so the next couple months it’s it’s going to be a battle um there’s probably going to be some shows I miss there’s probably going to be some trip I won’t be on uh but both Alana and my mom
Are going to kick Cancer’s ass and it’s crazy cuz we were just talking to Chaser and how much of an animal he is well it’s not just NHL players who kick the [ __ ] out of cancer it’s it’s Housewives do it too my mom she uh she’s a beast
And the second she found out she had cancer she booked a half marathon for six months down the line cuz she’s like I need something to train for I need something to to set my goal to and a few years ago when uh my mom’s best friend
Got cancer my mom was like I’m gonna I’m going to sign up for three like a triathlon she ended up doing a triathlon ended up doing three triathlons uh in the name of Mike Crocker so it it it’s going to be a battle but I and I I was
Talking to a lot of my friends this weekend if there’s any two people that could kick this [ __ ] out of cancer breast cancer it’s my mom and it’s Alana and Alana is going to be documenting her her whole journey on Tik Tok um so follow along there uh if you have any
Advice reach out um we have no clue what we’re doing we’re we’re trying to navigate this journey and there’s there’s a lot of questions there’s it’s it’s really it’s really scary um so any advice anything and we’re welcome we’re open to all that and and lastly I know
Chaser just said this but I hope there’s a way we can rally chicklets Nation together yeah and and find a good foundation f for for breast cancer for cancer for anything and just flood them with donations and and if we can make a difference here if we can save one
Person’s life by telling them you know go get checked or or just money like donate donate donate if we can if we can change one PE person’s life then this is a success you know so it’s it’s going to be a battle for for Alana um for my mom
But um you know chicklets nation and and this podcast is is the best outlet in the world for me and you guys have all been so supportive and I can’t thank you guys enough but uh I kind of yeah I just I wanted to let everyone know what I was
Going through G that was incredibly well said and and we’re a family here and I think it’s an incredible idea for for all of us to Rally around this and not only give your family the support they deserve but but use the platform in order to raise money and and do more so
Whatever it is you want or want to set up buddy we’re behind you we love you um I don’t think anybody who’s listening realize how much you do for our podcast and and our World here so I think that it’s for our turn to step up for you so
Um I’m sorry to hear everything you just said buddy but we agree there’s two women that are going to kick Cancer’s ass and um what just tell us what to do next yeah we’ll figure we’ll figure I love you guys and we’ll we’ll figure something out like uh Alana’s been so
Positive and she’s really just she’s facing this thing head on and she’s going to kick it sash he has surgery this week once we kind of get through um you know this storm that we’re dealing with we’ll we’ll try to find a foundation whether we start one or or
Whether we you know donate money to a great one um that’s that’s probably the route will take but it’s uh it’s going to be a battle and and they’re going to kick kick Hanser’s ass gee both of them are very lucky to have you in their Liv
Exactly and and and we’re here for you I think all chicklets nation’s going to be here for you y and and we’re really sorry that this is this is going on right now but you said everything so well we got you buddy gee where would you want them reaching out
For people who have been through this who want to provide advice like where do you want them to like is there an email so I think just uh dming Alana on Instagram is probably the best way to to chat with her you can DM me on Twitter
Instagram um you know I’ve been reading all my DMs lately because Alana posted a Tik Tok last week kind of explaining her her scenario and everything that’s going on and that’s where she’s finding a lot of peace and because there’s so many questions right guys like you you get told you have can
And listen to this they told her she had cancer at 5:00 on a Friday didn’t tell her the grade they just were like hey you have cancer and she’s like all right well what do I do next and they’re like oh you got to call the doctor’s office
On Monday so last weekend we just had to we had no idea what if if she was stage zero if she was stage four we just sat in my apartment drank wine and cried all weekend because that’s all you could do and there’s there’s just so many questions that we have throughout this
Whole process and I think people that have gone through it dming Alana is has we found the most peace with that just telling her about the surgeries and the and Foundations and even just like shirts she can wear and and just like little things that like we wouldn’t
Think about and the doctors don’t tell you but someone who’s gone through it they can really help you so I think just dming Alana dming me um it would be the best way to to get in touch all right everyone let’s let’s stand up for our guy here and his family
And um hug your loved ones guys so G we love you buddy and I look I think it’ll be great all the support you get from this love you guys see you buddy

Love you G, hang in there Bud, we are with you and the family. Fuck cancer.
Vegas is like a fighter they show up to the Wayans on weight and then the next day show up 30 pounds heavier for the fight
How much drugs has Ra done he’s so twitchy
Arizona sober Biz
Whit I love yah buddy but canes are tied with the panthers for goals scored. The lineup this years deep and they have had scoring. These guys are just coming in and making the scoring chances go through the roof. Kuzy is making passes these guys haven’t seen before. Jake said he’s coming to shoot the puck. This offense is gonna be ready for the frauds on Tuesday and the pussies on Thursday.
Avery Sandbagger?
Get RA some new ear pieces for the love of God.
Undertaker? That was Kevin Nash
Biz should've done a little more research for the JT convo lmao
Cap….circumcision?
The Pinky and the Brain reference was great.
Fuck Cancer.
Boot RA.
Keep fighting Chaser!!! 🙏🫶
FUCK CANCER!!!
Need more pro golfers on the pod, nice pull with getting JT on for a visit 🏌️♂️
Pinky and the brain, LMFAO!!!!
Biz is delusional as always 😂
Biz the Interrupter returns!
Read the book “Training a Tiger” from Earl Woods. You will immediately understand Tigers mental strength. A great short read
Biz needs therapy for his Leafs delusion. Saying the soft ass Leafs have the toughest team in the East is beyond laughable.
