too much I would imagine I don’t care if the Bruins L I picked the Leafs I want the leavs I picked him I need my picks to be better I need my picks to be on point last year8 for8 that is not happening this year but before we continue before we go further I need to talk about pink Whitney take your shot with pink Whitney this show is presented by new Amsterdam’s own pink Whitney the number one

then when I got home I had one for the night cap so the Oilers play tonight I’ll probably pour myself some pink Whitney I am in the in the uh midst of a possible birth coming any night I know I keep mentioning that so the pink Whitney has to be kept to a minimum for me but not for anyone else out there so take your shot go to a local bar go to a local liel store grab the big old 1.75 L bottle that’ll last you a little longer but pink Whitney take your shot with pink Whitney and thank you to New Amsterdam and all you guys so that’s a live ad read Crush what a read by witty boy that’s off the top of my head too which sometimes can be very ugly and and and I I don’t necessarily think until we started doing these that live was my bag but it’s my bag it’s your bag so biz you guys are alive you guys are alive and R I know you go like this like huh huh you want to leave what why I’m not a Bruins fan how many times do I say this I could care less well the very first episode we did like before the Jame chickers before Biz you actually said you were a Bruins fan you you cop to being a Bruins fan the very first episode we ever no no no I would love to hear the actual audio what I said is when the Bruins are in like the Stanley Cup finals yeah I’m going to root for the Bruins unless they’re playing the Oilers right now the Bruins playing the Leafs when I pick the Leafs that was also before we’d ever made picks in this show correct so if we’re doing playoff picks I would say that that probably differentiates I I don’t care I do not care people think that I’m like out there rooting for the Bruins like you and granelli with your underwear on and your special posters in your room and your Cam Neely little like bobblehead dolls I don’t care I want to see a good series and now we got a series on our hands and there are Bruins fans out there saying like I’m not worried although now I I sent a tweet where I said anyone who’s saying that’s lying and most Bruins fans are like no we are but the ones who aren’t they are lying because the Bruins have this disgusting sort of vibe around them in these games where they can close opponents out I don’t know what’s going on I’m worried I I I can easily say that I’m very worried it’s going seven well let’s just say that can we can we discuss the lineup changes that were made this past game cuz I mindblowing to me to be up 3-1 in the series Marl your best buddy mon I love mon I don’t understand why they would make these lineup changes shaton Kirk’s look good on the power play Beer’s been great in the faceoff dot it it doesn’t make sense to me are they overthinking it m are they overthinking it you guys last year though when I said keep berson out keep the winning lineup you guys wanted to tear my head off no comp to bur keep the winning lineup or not what do you stand want do you want the goalie rotation do you not guys listen listen you’re out of your [ __ ] mind there’s a difference between Patrice berson and the other two guys now keep in mind the fourth line has been going great to me the bottom the bottom two lines for the Boston Bruins have made a difference and an impact in the series now going back to the game before yeah beer was on the ice when they scored a goal but overall I thought the line had been tremendous and they continue to overthink it and one thing I felt that shaton Kirk had provided was help to the power play and all of sudden they’re [ __ ] shooting blanks in game five you can’t change that line had one power play I mean I hey doesn’t matter you got terrible it looked horrible the Oilers how about creating a little bit of momentum that they didn’t have they they they came out awful you think that they would have learned from last year and you want to know the craziest thing as that game proceeded hey Brad Mara had a chance to close that thing out that empty net he had where it just hit off the stick it crawled over the crossbar I would have put that in I could have put that in the it looked like it sort of bounced at the end but dude I can’t believe of anything Biz you haven’t mentioned and it’s not even on you we’ve just gotten to be talking but Joseph wall buddy this is this is bosski coming in last year it’s the exact same thing changing up the goal tending and I got to give the Maple Leafs a lot of credit because dude they came out they played a great playoff Style game and that game was horrendous in the first period the Bruins were awful it was like an exhibition game both teams were turning it over but at least the Leafs like digging deep without their best player one of the best players on the planet they just showed a lot of heart they showed a lot of balls and for all the chirping that I’ve done and a lot of people have done Mitch Marner played a good game he played a hell played a really good game he he was a different player than the first four games of that series you got to shut when you’re going to carve someone you got to also shout out that that he made a difference last night that whole line was awesome Max I thought was great pass he made Max doy gets put to Center ice do you know what his Faceoff percentage was last night 85 [ __ ] percent snapping back draws on every center of the Boston Bruins 85% that’s better than tro was that’s better I don’t think a centerman has had a better Faceoff game and then what comes up huge in the first period he s snaps back that draw Marner comes in and help out and mccab with a bomb from the point to get things going that I think in game six they need to keep that line together whether Matthews is in or not if Matthews is in keep that line together put neander with Matthews an incredible game that was a legacy game by Max doy and I think that if he [ __ ] Legacy game buddy he [ __ ] got put it C Legacy means for him he’s for him going back Toronto I think you think a legacy game G with the lack of success they’ve had in they win the series okay if they win the series okay if you lose a series you can’t call it a legacy game that’s fair but I think they’re gonna go on series I’m giving you Legacy game I’m giving going back to Joseph wall I know he’s only played in six appearances in playoffs 1.94 goals against aage with a 930 save percentage this guy’s legit remember IAL about him when I talked to that uh Joe Bowen I reached out I said hey what’s the deal with this guy he goes Biz he’s got the makeup to be a future vzna winner his mechanics are incredible he’s big he’s got the athleticism and he’s got the [ __ ] mental Edge this guy is an absolute gamer I know there’s a lot of lease fans complaining right now that they didn’t throw him in in game four listen I thought that Samy deserved to have the net up until that point in the series I hated that Trent Frederick goal that was the one where I was like okay I I think that we could maybe try wall in net but all things have played out the way they’ve played he ends up getting the game five start and he was [ __ ] incredible when he had to be he outplayed Swan he made that one extra save that Swan couldn’t look at this guy [ __ ] ninja there’s Trent Frederick too he can’t [ __ ] rent free the one on coil and OT was was Unreal too just kicking the leg out um Coyle McAvoy um were both awesome I thought all game but theend they’re kind of standing there as that puck gets thrown to the crease by tarz and as Merles texts to the group like got to throw a shoulder check Merles I actually watched the replay as tarz gets to the bottom of the circle Coy does do a shoulder check and then I don’t know if he didn’t see n or but then all of a sudden boom they both are puck watching and I really felt bad for grizzli Bruins fans are all over grizzli they don’t really want him playing in the playoffs he had a good game dude he gr you said he was bad I saw your he he had a really good game that’s why I felt bad had three he had three turnovers in his first three shifts dude he had a good game go watch the game buddy go watch the game until that until that final play that Tavarez beat him wide which was surprising sh out tarz getting that foot speed going he had a good game and he ends up kind of looking like you know I I I guess uh not great on on that OT winner but all three of those guys are just standing around nce comes back to and and and puts it in it was it was it was shocking the first period though R your video said it like I I just don’t know how you’re that unprepared to play after learning from last year in the first period of that game what they have their two shots I think was the lowest total of all year in a period two shots I just I couldn’t believe it just like they were dead you know full credit to Toronto they played great and Joseph W was unbelievable we talked about him possibly coming in last week but they just didn’t have the desperation and and Monty looked like Crest falling after in the Press saying you know wer very good he just didn’t have any like was it oh we weren’t good enough ready to play it’s like well why weren’t why weren’t they why weren that’s weeren good enough I I don’t have you know um something to give you that’s concrete start besides Toronto was better than us yeah I mean I would like for my can I bring up um Bruins fans r in 2013 they were up 3-1 yeah I [ __ ] that up yeah I got confused with the Philly one the Bruins fans are all [ __ ] up with they’re all [ __ ] up now Biz In fairness like any other team right now I’m almost sure the Bruins might blow this you guys you guys will probably win game six and somehow blow it might be an exact replica of what’s happened prior in other years because let’s let’s not think that you’re you’re the the Panthers of last year or all these incredible teams you’re still the Leafs I know I know okay okay I know what are you hearing about Matthews Biz because they’re saying this might not be an illness it might be like an actual injury I think Elliot said that so the soap opera continues uh the core four have been yet to play a full 60 minutes together in this series which is mindboggling and the fact that we’re going to six and we’ve had a goal tending change pretty pretty crazy so my standing was is it was like a stomach bug or or virus something that was like some 48 Hours lasting and then they pulled him out of game four because he just had no energy through the second period right so then he obviously isn’t playing game five and then Elliot Freeman has that followup tweet saying that it might be more than just illness so what do we have here a mystery injury just like we had with William neander like I feel I don’t want to say the the the Leafs have mismanaged this through the media and how they’ve communicated to the fans as to what the [ __ ] is going on but this continues to just be a mystery bag with what’s going on with the lineup given their Stars the entire series they’ve had drama with basically every guy taras didn’t show up game one he’s been incredible since Matthew’s obviously now missing game five with the illness in game four leaving Marner was in [ __ ] no man’s land the first two three games and nander was Kneeland Lander so I don’t know what the [ __ ] is going on but in game six the core four that has to be their best game if Toronto Maple e if Matthews plays it has to be the best performance we’ve ever seen in leaf land getting a Lot Yacht Club activated if in fact all four of these guys play no more excuses no more nothing because all the other guys who ain’t making the big bucks have brought it NIS has been incredible he’s been helping drive that other line okay DOI has been incredible and every other role player has elevated their game in this instance so if game six comes around here and the core four isn’t activated there’s going to be major major Chang is coming M why are you laughing the core four I love it the core four everyone’s called him the sore four yeah the chat’s hilar also I’m reading the chat it’s hilarious what are they saying they’re calling all sorts of stuff but like Elliot was right if it if he was sick then you don’t let him skate around the team same with with um neander where I don’t I don’t want to speculate but I know when I played ice hockey and guys would go out and skate really hard for a certain amount of time and then they didn’t play that day a certain symptom came an hour or two after they raised their heart rate if you’re picking up when I’m putting down so I don’t know if there was any big hits we missed but it’s definitely not some sort of flu or something because he wouldn’t be in the locker room I thought matth yeah exactly it’s not sickness anymore and I think he skated what was it 10 minutes before they won on the ice for pregame skate I don’t know how hard he went but yeah you I wonder what that injury is now ra I’ll ask you people are hard on Marner people have been hard on Stars don’t get it done in the playoffs what’s up with pasta right now man yeah he’s not getting it done I don’t know I don’t think he’s heard I don’t know if he’s just getting shut down uh he’s got to battle through it but yeah it’s been a disappointment right now Mason’s been obviously Stella he wasn’t great last night but yeah I don’t think he’s hurt I don’t I even heard he’s hurt I think he’s just getting I would argue R I think he looks hurt to me he M handling the a little bit where maybe then you wonder if it’s something with hands wrist we’re totally speculating but he doesn’t look like himself off the puck pretty easy too it seems like something’s just every time he there someone initiates contact with him his body kind of just gives up a bit got Marner upstairs in his head Biz what’s your confidence level going into the next game what do you think he’s gonna say no no listen it’s going to be Boston’s best performance they’re going to come out guns of Blazing in the first p they’re on the road no pressure it has to be the best start start the maple have had all series long all season long the other element they got to get the power play going they have to relieve pressure from themselves five on five the power play has been rubbish this series and that’s why I say the core four is so important they need to [ __ ] figure it out they need to stop it around and if they don’t score on it they need to create a [ __ ] ton of momentum and hem the Bruins in and make swayan and or all Mark whoever they fumble the bag on whatever they decide to put net they got to make them work invest early play with the puck down low and I’m telling you though I actually think the Leafs are going to put together an unbelievable 60 minutes I think they’re for the first time in a long time going to score at least four [ __ ] goals in a playoff game they’ve only scored three goals one time in their last 12 playoff games for the offense that the Leafs put out on a constant basis during the regular season that’s laying an egg come playoff time they gotta find the back of the net my prediction is they’re going to get two Power Play Goals and they’re going to win this game five to2 you’re going with the five again I’m going with the five again I’m doubling down I don’t give a [ __ ] what what do the BRS got to do different H next game obviously get some shots on that but what nothing they’re going to be choking on the same piece of steak they were in game five a they got to start better they have to start way better they have to get in there and at least get some opportunities in the first period because it’s one thing on the road to be able to like build your game after having a good first as the Leafs did if they’re at home and they dominate in the first again then you’re really in one although I guess they really don’t have a home ICE Advantage I think we can all say it like they don’t the crowd’s not loud they don’t seem to play very well one the starts in important they got to get the yacht CL I think even if it’s I don’t even think most of the people at the beginning of the period will be in their seats behind the benches on that lower ball I think to start the second period or the third the other night like it was there was empty seats everywhere the bru the Bruins they’re not like a super skilled team I think we can all agree with that they have a bunch of very very good players they have pasta and marshan can be really Elite makoy in the back end but they’re workers they’re Grinders they’re guys like red rck coil that need to play in the offensive zone they need to cycle the puck and they they actually had they turned on their game last night I mean the beginning of overtime they had three four chances real quick so you know that that the game’s there they’ve had a lot of success in Toronto already in this series and all season so the confidence should be there for them you’d like to think with that leadership core group that they’re going to be able to be pissed off enough at each other and you know that them as a group to be like that was [ __ ] at home we’re ending this tonight we’re not dealing with going back home for a game seven where anything can happen so I can’t wait to watch Thursday night should be a great one I’m hoping Bobby mcmatthews is back too that’s he must have a legit injury dude I I I I know I’m hoping he’s back for game six though I heard Rumblings that he might be coming back and I thought he was one of their more more impactful forwards in the back half of the season so if they can get him back into with Matthews Look Out Boys I think they’re going to steamroll the Bruins and then we’re going back to the Gad In for game seven rear ad adal let’s [ __ ] let’s do it hey another little thing here too Carlo kako tweeted out you know that guy like the the O guy who predicts all this crazy stuff The Mentalist yeah he predicted that the Leafs were gonna win this series in seven games in comeback fashion he predicted the first 13 picks in the NFL draft this year with trades too which is crazy with trades he predicted he predicted that before the series or he just said it last night he I guess he no he went on he went on radio I think he went on with Carlo kako or it was with somebody else and then they eventually got him on you could maybe pull up the tweet that Carl kako sent out yesterday he said that don’t you don’t want you don’t want Oz The Mentalist Oz going against you that’s that’s not good that’s kind of like remember the monkey a few years ago who used to do the playoff picks he was red hot not as hot as the Oz The Mentalist and speaking speaking of being red hot did you guys hear uh Jack Edwards last night calling Steve CI a coward it’s unbelievable I I kind of got off my soapbox of hating Jack Edwards but yeah this guy Kario is in the hospital knocked out cold on a stretcher and Jack Edwards up in his Ivory Tower what could have been his last games calling a ref a coward it’s like this guy just just when you think all right jack great career good job you’re right back to this [ __ ] idiot so you know what if you’re going to sit there and announce a game and never be involved physically in anything in your life I find it kind of crazy you’re calling a referee a coward for getting off the ice and I don’t think that that was like a poorly refereed game the the Bruins whining Bruins fans complain about when the marsh marshan got called on that play maybe there but other than that it wasn’t like oh my God the Bruins got [ __ ] by the refs last night and we got check calling a guy who’s just knocked out in the hospital a coward and Bruin’s fans were calling fans babies because they wanted a penalty on uh marshaw when he tripped berzi right before Trent Frederick scored that week one so I don’t want to hear about the bitching bitching and officiating and I I think it’s the perfect fit at the fact that the Leafs are going to beat the Boston Bruins in game seven at the God and in Jack Edwards last game I cannot wait to hear the end of the game call from Jack Edwards that is going to be the hockey gods and hockey Karma biting the bees right in the hoop I can see oh yeah The Mentalist thinks it is no it isn’t G you you didn’t like uh the no call on that you had a little uh tweet action there the masan there we just talking about the referee the referee’s knocking them off the that’s how nervous they were yeah I mean I I think exactly what wit said though I think that that was a terrible non call I mean he was holding him at the face off off but I don’t think the ref the bees got screwed by any means okay all right at all with the refs that game yeah they didn’t lose because of the referees they [ __ ] lost because they couldn’t score who’s playing who’s playing game six boys who’s getting it’s Swan Swan’s goal it’s you you give it’s Swan’s goal for the rest of the playoffs unless he unless he has a big stinker lets in like six seven goals I’m riding my guy sway for the rest of the playoffs great last night Biz yeah he was awesome yeah so allmark was fine in game two he was fine but he wasn’t great but yeah but like swan has the body of work this entire series like I don’t even think it’s a question okay so if he puts allar that he’s overthinking this again and you’re nervous going into game six if that would happen I would I don’t know about nervous but yeah I would say he’s overthinking it by putting alock I mean they what game would have went to overtime last night if it wasn’t for sing iy put his balls off 100% okay all right what do you think M you think he’s going back to sway yeah I think it’s swayman it’s got to be you can’t you cannot flip back and forth again you cannot do it it is amazing though with with the Stanley Cup playoffs I guess any sport the game the game to end it that fourth win and Bruins fans no more than it is so hard to get that win like you you can get three relatively easy for the Bruins they got it was 3-1 hadn’t even been that difficult and all of a sudden you’re trying to get that fourth last year and now after last night you’re like oh my God we just cannot get the biggest one the fourth one do you guys think that maybe in their heads they’re thinking last year game five Marsha has that Breakaway to end it and then in this this game I think it was in the third he has that tap in and he missed it you don’t think they’re thinking about that you don’t think those old would you be like would you would you be on the flight there like talking with the guys about it it’s no but I’d be a mental [ __ ] in my own mind about it would you bro I’m the biggest mental [ __ ] of a player of all time I mean I never I never got to play in those moment I think you’re overplaying that a little I think if you got ready for game six there’s no part of your mind thinking oh my God against the Panthers 365 days ago the same thing happened it’s just like these guys they’re not after the series ends they could be like oh my God that same exact thing happened again but I would think right now they’re just focused on next game next shift all right yeah a lot of similarities I don’t like either business got something yeah uh I’m rooting for game seven because it’s going to be Saturday night so we go right from Kentucky Derby right into the Bruins Le game seven oh what a day oh my that’s a long one long one lot of money too M I predicted by the way that in game seven the Bruins would lose at home and the Leafs would speed bag them and you’d be able to hear a pin drop in there I said that before the series started and I’m sticking with it I bet you we I think we posted the clip what do you got for us G you got have that tweet the Oz The Mentalist tweet right here from Carlo it was sent before the before the season uh before the series started no three in a row it says coming back three in a row yeah I mean he didn’t he can’t hear he can’t hear the audio what he said the Audio I mean I’ll take his word you need to read coming back three in a row suck on that [ __ ] all right I’ll get Chris Angel to [ __ ] counter him [ __ ] magicians all right boys can you just change the guy’s name to like how do you know that’s even his number how do you know that’s Oz oh you’re calling fiction BR calling [ __ ] that I can put anybody’s name on there and write that it was actually Dr Phil predicted it oh Jesus [ __ ] quack all right uh Winnipeg ended the postseason with high expectations uh but they will exit them with an all too familiar failing for fans in the hockey Mad City ABS doubled up the Jets in game five six to3 and beat them in five games after losing game one last year Biz the Jets speed Vegas 5 to1 then they lost the next four straight while being outscored 18-9 know who the goalie was last year then back up this year laon bis Jets also the first team in NHL history to allow five plus goals in each of their first five games the begin of postseason which I guess your sour was right after all look like FR Squad what a addiction yeah I’ll get to that in a minute I’d like to start with the winners almost because you’re looking at and Merles can go into this it’s his team probably the most well-oiled machine in the playoffs currently um Rangers fans would have a little bit of a gripe but the capitals are not the Jets the Jets had done a lot more to prove themselves as what many people considered true contenders they had the goalie they had the depth up front they had everything working at the end of the season and then they ran in to a machine a machine that is locked and loaded and flying and every single aspect of the avalan roster right now is on the top of their game whether it’s miles wood the guy posha said stinks running around creating Havoc going to the net whether it’s Nathan McKinnon doing n the the look at the first shift of the game Nathan mckin I I he had to be skating 28 miles an hour through the neutral zone and then on the back check he comes back and he like buries someone against the boards I was like okay well they’re they’re ready to play and when your leader and your captain is playing the way that McKinnon’s playing it’s hard for the whole team not to just follow suit you’re just watching this guy and there’s also the the side that McKinnon I think has been been it’s been pretty uh made evident to us that he’ll he’ll call guys out so if you’re not going you’re going to hear from him and he’s always going so there’s no excuses nin’s back we already talked about him Mar is the guy every and and and their goal tending georgev who we were carving after game one has really settled down he looked really good the next four games a gentleman sweep you like to call it and the poor Winnipeg Jets after a great regular season just caught a tough matchup I I I don’t think that that it was it was any other team like I think they played Dallas better I think they played Vegas better I think they could played any team better than Colorado right now Colorado is the top contender in the west I don’t love admitting it but I’m a little afraid of him my whole goal as an Oilers fan is that the next round they’re in a battle with whoever wins Vegas Dallas but Colorado all props to them they did everything they needed to do now to the Jets yes the guy texted me I [ __ ] told you that was the text and what am I supposed to say back cuz I argued the point originally I remember I was down in Del re I was talking to him I then went on the show recording in that studio that they helped me out I don’t remember the name I apologize and I said it after arguing with him and he he he got the final word he was correct they didn’t have anything remotely close to what it looked like they had going into the playoffs and I don’t really understand what happened to huk I mean some of those goals throughout the entire series that you can’t put them all on him but at some point the goalie’s got to just steal a game for got to make a save he’s not supposed to make and every little thing was going in it just was it was unfortunate for jets fans I don’t really know where they go from here now saying all that I don’t think anyone expected them to be as good as they were this year yeah dude it sucks you’re going out in five again second year in a row but they still had a good season I know that sounds maybe Jets fans could will will tell me I’m an idiot dude they they they surpassed their expectations going into the Year by a lot in my opinion I know but you but just like Carolina you make two big moves at the deadline to have expectations of at least putting up a fight and M I’ll throw it over to you I feel like that seven nothing win at the end of the season and also the 76 win uh in game one uh set up some false expectations and maybe some false hope that they could play this runand gun Style with the Colorado Avalanche Bo bonus said it in his postgame press conference after the series was over he’s like these guys brought it to another level that wasn’t the regular season Colorado Avalanche they had another gear that the Winnipeg Jets had never seen before and they got rocked in game two and they got shell shocked and they were never able to recover they got [ __ ] worked doubled up on the amount of Rush chances against the entire series which we talked about before the series that that’s how Colorado does it how could where was the what was it 14 games in a row they allowed two or fewer goals against during the regular season where was that Winnipeg Jets team where was the high cycling high flying offense where they would hem teams in it was non-existent then you try to play The Rush games against one of the best Rush teams in the league especially in Colorado’s Barn just a a I don’t even want to say dumb game plan because they just completely lost their game after game two when they got rocked in that second period yeah they only got five goals from their forwards in the last four games B uh uh Kyle Conor to Foley had two Guston and sh I mean they got nothing four games five goals from your forwards that’s trash man you got get what do I mean what do you have to say about it well I got I’m going to tell you what happened to hellu wh our good friend Mike Kelly NHL Network the ABS had 10 goals with a screen the most of anybody and that’s only in five games and how do you get away with good screens because you don’t get pushed out of the net front and how do you not get pushed out of the net front because they’re small D out there pan is six foot the melo’s six foot they’re number one D morsy 6 foot 190 lb soaking wet it does not get the job done in the playoffs M’s right M’s right how big are col how big are Colorado’s D well they got Manson they got Jack Johnson yeah Gerard is Big Taves is pretty big but car so you got the four right there I he’s a unicorn he doesn’t even count any talk about the unicorn Ville hey when you win you don’t have to talk about that we’re talking about why they lost andn goalie got lit up by the best fastest team in the league I don’t know if anybody’s gonna be able to skate with these guys if they stay Edon could skate with them all right but here’s the pro no no I’m just I’m just I’m being Edmonson can skate with them but I don’t know if Colorado’s gonna lose a game at home they get flying in that building and everyone’s dying they can’t catch their breath and then you have m K you’re like what the [ __ ] going on and then yeah they dude they throw out that Tren and he scored a goal he’s enormous and then like I said miles wood they got they they have everything you need they have skill they have speed they have toughness they have they have height and and and girth I’ll say girth and they have a goalie who just needs to play good enough so right now the most impressive first round win for sure for sure and how about hey how about middle sta he’s he’s turning into Cadre 2.0 right now the way that he’s playing maybe he’s not as mean and as greasy and and Riley the other team up as much which hey discipline also Ain’t a Bad Thing either but he’s coming into his own at the perfect time right now he had three assists what was it in game four and then he had a great game five to close out and the craziest thing about this two boys they were doing it without roton he wasn’t playing up to his capabilities and then all of a sudden two go goals in game five so now he’s going they’re all a well oil machine they’re getting rest and they’re going to end up playing probably a team that went to seven between Vegas and Dallas where they’re beating the wheels off each other so great thing for Colorado right now they’re sitting pretty the O the only thing they need to do is because there’s a little bit of a break now get a Baza and put NuSkin in there you don’t need him disappearing again no no too much time off can be a bad thing they literally have to chain him to the Baza you’re staying in this Baza and we’re gonna have Joe sack sit outside of it like those Russian guys did you’re not going anywhere our guys had the guns outside the what do you have seven goals this series nushin I don’t know I think so every game he scored at least one so all right you’re muted all you’re muted buddy we’ll take over we go from avalanch and we’ll go to we’ll go to another series that shutter down the Carolina Hurricanes and Butch gorings New York Islanders Biz what you see over there oh what I saw was them the Islanders break their own record can you believe it can you believe that that happened that happening again that what are the ODS dude buddy start of the third period I had to take a [ __ ] I drink a little bit of coffee to get going uh during these late games so I had to rev up for the for the Nashville Vancouver game so I go take a [ __ ] and I come back and it’s 53 it was 33 going into the period I said what the [ __ ] happened Liam Miku looks at me he goes the exact same thing that happened the other night they beat their own record the game the game where they they they blew that three-goal lead it happened in nine seconds while this one it was in eight seconds eight can you [ __ ] believe it Whit here’s the thing dude oh no oh my God oh God [ __ ] was that watch Ste watch St I think he reaches for food at one Fu no the so the the fourth goal the fourth goal Ste just ends up just like two secondary just grabs his fork and grab some more Z chicken cutti but this one man the first one Shay goes to throw it on net off of foot right to Jack jur great shot 43 and then they riming around hits the Dasher goes right in front like the Islanders literally did nothing wrong on both goals the Islanders D I got a lot of respect for those guys they went and they won that game five OT or game four sorry they forced it back to Carolina they’re down 3-1 they tied up again like zero quit in the Islanders not like that you they they it’s a High character team a lot of older guys a lot of guys who’ve been around they didn’t make it easy on Carolina and they ended up just getting two brutal bounces for those four and 5-3 goals even at 4-3 after jur scored I was like I think the Islanders will come back like these guys they’re just Relentless and then 8 seconds off the Dasher right to NOS NOS got three goals in the series I think Kim and Jarvis were the only Hurricane players with three goals I believe was it 10 of 12 forwards for Carolina scored a goal in that series R yeah and going into that game I think seven forwards had three or more points for the Carolina Hurricanes they got depth up front scoring at all forms right now R and jvis had the alltime Chicklets bump the night we had him on he had a goal and two assists that night ended up with seven points in the series that seriously that would be the best run ever since a guest i’ had on this show all time okay I’ll go to this part of the game I’ve seen of gny K Nets off do that in shootouts we’re talking regular season really doesn’t matter like a shootout yeah it’s an extra point shouldn’t say it doesn’t matter at the end of the season those points really do come into effect but it’s a shootout it’s an end it’s the end of the game regular season January 15th I’m going to go really slow dude when he got the penalty shot when they picked him after the hand over the puck in the crease I I I said I wonder if he’s going to do that no no no and sure as [ __ ] he got it and slowed down I’m like oh my God oh my God 13 seconds it took him to get to the N apparell app perellis you hear someone going what the [ __ ] he doing he like you’re just and I actually saw there’s a there’s a fan um you could see in the stands in Carolina that’s like that’s like this as he’s approaching the goal and you can tell they never seen it before no and I think there was probably a lot of people there that yeah he’s new to the team and they they haven’t watched a ton of capitals hockey in the past and they’re like what is happening what is going on and he’s just waiting for the Poke check and then you could tell varal off so mad he’s just disgusted and sure as [ __ ] he goes Pok Che boom scored I I was laughing my ass off after that went in I’m like this [ __ ] did that in a playoff game like the balls to do that do you know what the heat he would have taken forget online and all that [ __ ] from his teammates had he not scored there well bud I mean go with the percentages I think that he’s 45% in his career on penalty shots and he pulls that off every time so why would he change it up and most of the time people are saying if you get the penalty shot would you rather have the power play well unless unless it’s the Edmonton ERS power play you’re picking Koozie to go every time with the slow-mo going in and Wayne was vocal about it on the broadcast I think we had him on a a regular season game and he did it and he’s like ah I’m not crazy about that but if you’ve earned the right to get a penalty shot there’s no back Checker I don’t think there should ever be a shot clock if you want to take 30 seconds to get to the net take 30 seconds [ __ ] stop and have a cup of coffee and a sandwich and you to continue forward movement that’s the Only Rule so the hardest part about it lanquist said is the fact that as a goalie you have to get out and and then as you come back matches speed but you’re kind of hanging on on your edges there as a goalie basically in a squat position like creaking back like you’re in a rocking chair but it’s too slow normally there’s some type of momentum but he’s waiting waiting waiting and like you said the frustration kicks in that’s when he tries to get him with a kba strike and that’s when Koozie goes more to the forehand because now he’s reaching with that blocker hand and then that low blocker is wide open and he picks it off every [ __ ] time it’s genius it’s genius it’s just amazing to watch yeah it is genius I didn’t know his percentage was that high I wish I could I wish I could ask Hank as as I know nothing about goal tending I would think in that instance you’re not poke checking like because you pretty much know put it this way all right you know a bunch of guys um who’s unbelievable at it like you’ve seen barov do it but where they’ll go they’ll go one way and then really cut back you have to be going fast to do that that was legendary but I was trying to think of current players but he’s going so slow that you know his first stick handle is going to be a shot because you’re not you’re not moving fast enough to actually like get the goalie to commit and go back to the other side I would think a poke Che when he’s moving that slow wouldn’t be the play do you know what I’m saying by that yeah but just wait for it just wait for it and he’s gonna go stickhandle shot you pretty much know he’s always doing that but the balls on him to do that he’s [ __ ] get the wheelbarrow going like the South Park memey was dying laughing on the bench as he went through like howling uh but like you said credit to the Islanders man they battled their dicks off it’s kind of like going back to last year with Carolina in that Florida series I thought they deserved a better fate like at least for it to go to six games the way that they played because outside of game two when when Carolina dominated and had like aund 100 shooting chances at the net I felt like like Islanders brought it every other game where it was prettyy even I think two of the games they outshot him too which never happens with Carolina so uh nonetheless Hurricane’s just way too deep and those those moves at the deadline ended up paying off big time too I thought between Koozie and gensel they [ __ ] brought it we all knew we were going to get uh Carolina vers the Rangers yeah and then that one that one should be incredible viewing I think that’s going to be an amazing series I I I I I’ve said it I think it’s going seven I picked Dallas uh Vegas to go seven I think that’s going to go seven I pick Boston Toronto go seven I think I’m right on with my sevens and that one I would be shocked if it ends before that and Rangers have home ICE Rangers are the president’s Trophy winners they’ve been sitting around resling at home Carolina’s got to hop on a flight in maybe a day or two can’t wait to see that Series begin and how they’re going to match up we’re gonna preview it a little later on right yeah and yeah we can do unless you want to do it right after this ad we want to do it right I think we do it later on Stick with the series that already going on currently all right let’s hear from our friends have Verizon in the meantime all right everybody before we go any further here’s a few words from my good friends over at Verizon ho ho gang playoffs have been here for a little bit now we’re having a lot of fun because we have Verizon’s fast reliable Network that lets us stream the games the draft all the stuff on the goal or at home to keep up with all the

Stanley Cup Final on ESPN plus Can’t Wait Almost There get to the second round right about now you can visit .cb to learn more b a couple other notes out lell it was his 325th career postseason game he passed Glenn SAA for the most by any GM anywhere uh LM R also has 172 career playoff wins uh he does Trail sa with 187 so he’s got a ways to go to catch him also too Biz just go with the go te soken man he was 0 and one three goals allowed on 14 shots that last game he had a 661 goals against and a seven 86 save percentage yeah it really wasn’t his net though it wasn’t really his net I thought it was varley’s I thought that uh vley had stolen the job later in the season I also felt with Patrick W’s comments about uh soken that he’d maybe lost a little bit of trust in him and it seemed like sirin’s confidence wasn’t there where it had been in years past and hey the good thing for the Islanders is they had a two-goal system I thought vley played okay but uh ultimately got peppered in that last game but uh besides that maybe there was a few goals that vley wanted back like the Koozie won in game one this reverse VH thing it’s kind of starting to melt my skull a little bit well we could talk about the donov goal well well that’s sorry that’s no no I think it could probably lead us into that series because no I think we had another series next I apologize okay Florida Tampa where do you guys want to go from it was Van Nash we were going to go cuz just last night right right let’s do it let’s do it yeah yeah that’s right uh disaster end the game four for Nashville they eak out a two and win in game five to send the series back to Nashville for game six Nikita Zadora put Vancouver up one nothing ear didn’t see that coming uh Roman Yosi got the game time goal there’s a lot of controversy here Biz a lot of people thought tet should have challenged for uh perhaps golender in the fance he decided not to he said if we’re down 21 looked at it I don’t know what the EDI show would do on that one so I don’t I know I I don’t think it was a bad call him not doing it because then you send him to a you know potential Power Player I disagree so so the reason that most people saying he should have was based on how Nashville’s power play had been performing and how most of the calls had been going this playoff like you saw uh coup’s postgame press conference where they got hooped I thought that that was worse than what had happened in the Florida Tampa game um I can I can understand why he didn’t though because if you go back to game three I believe Vancouver was up two nothing and uh and the Smith got bumped into and they were considering maybe calling goal interference there where talk didn’t want to maybe rattle his team and show weakness so he didn’t and then they ended up squeaking out that 2-1 Victory with the Smith right um so past patterns in the series where he hadn’t challenged was fine now not challenging this one you they had the momentum because they scored the goal to make it 1-1 if you put them right back on the power play and then they finally solve it and finally get another Power Play goal I think it looks poorly on talk and he said based on when he was viewing it in real time he thought it was a 5050 so up until that point I guess I can’t argue with the fact that he didn’t want to put them on the power play and he was okay with where his team was at one1 so you disagree with do you disagree because of how Nashville’s power play had been performing or base in real time on seeing what had happened thinking this would 100% come back because he’s pushing him into the net I thought it would have come back I I just I forget the power play forget anything I thought that goal’s coming back and you you talked about you looked at the Tampa Florida once I mean Nyquist puts his stick into coves I I I’m sorry if I’m saying his name incorrect he puts his stick into his midsection in the crease and all of a sudden the puck goes in I I think that there would have been big-time complaints from Nashville fans that it did get called back but I think that one’s coming back now I do get his point that if that puts them in the lead it’s like we kind of have to but I don’t know I just I look at that think that the way that this has been getting called I think that goal is getting taken off the board it’s a momentum killer for Nashville and and yeah the you’re right I wasn’t even thinking about that but we could stop their power play now Army on the broadcast did another great job and he was kind of talking about that they didn’t even try to set up Yosi came flying in and they just went with he had some good ter for it they just attacked right off the Hop they just went right in there there beautiful give and go I mean Yosi so fast and it drives the crease and yeah if you see somebody come into the crease and just stick their stick into the goalie all the time you watching game like oh that’s that’s going to be goenda inference so it was more about the replay of overhead that was the replay I saw I was like oh challenge but talks kind of yeah so you see top right top right his there it ends up just going from there directly into his side and then the Pucks in it’s like that has to have something to do with it when the League’s looking at the the replay yeah they some people argued that maybe zadorov would have got called like or called they would have considered him pushing him in a little bit too but I agree with you I’m about I’m about 60% sure that they would have overturned that goal now if you go back to uh the penalty just over the Blue Line the defensive Zone that Joshua took I think late in the game under 10 minutes you don’t have to finish that hit just worry about getting inside the dots and and getting back to dzone coverage like you’re getting you’re maybe um letting the moment overtake your emotions a little bit because it was so crazy inside that building up one nothing last period you think you’re going to be able to close out at home everybody’s horned up for hockey in Vancouver I don’t know if you guys have heard this um Arbutus Club story in Vancouver so there’s this club it’s like 100k to join there’s a huge waiting list for it I’ve actually been there before is posha is posha on the the the the stream right now behind the scenes he is yes oh no is can he come on for a sec yeah I mean I mean piz know snuck into this place are are you a member at the Arbutus club uh no but I wanted to be and after hearing this story I might want to be even more so they so they have everything you want they have swimming pools they have uh pickle ball courts squash courts they even have an ice rink and I think a couple days a week they have these open skates for kids I don’t know if they go there and they get like private lessons or whatever it may be so this big email ends up coming out where on Tuesdays and Thursdays let’s say there’s a skate at 10: a.m. well all the kids go on the ice and all the parents who bring the kids they end up meeting down in parking garage level three and they have gang bangs in the cars all the members when tiger was getting like lessons growing up but I I have no clue but there was a a company or or our buus club email that went out because all these parents have been caught because the cameras caught them where they’re like swapping SUVs and [ __ ] they go down there not with not with the c couple within couple they’re all swinging at this artist Club oh yeah on the parking level three like trunks open like gang bang switching like swapping you got [ __ ] Nancy from North Van eating [ __ ] headress while uh you know kurk from Kitsilano is [ __ ] bringing her to the Woodshed and because their kids are working on like two on- ones together on the ice they’re like all right well two onone your wife with the season that Canucks have had they’re all horned up for hockey and it’s getting them going so oh posha is gonna be waiting outside the door at this place to try to get in he’s been trying to get every it’s like Hedonism three it’s like where ra used to hang out in Jamaica but now it’s made its way north of the Border crazy can imagine like eight different couples so they had you think when Joshua threw that head he was thinking like I lay this guy out here I’m first invite to the club tonight he’s doing private lessons from [ __ ] Nancy from North Van so [ __ ] sucked off his torso in the back of her G wagon God ke the ball for the carry in the [ __ ] woman too huh unbelievable Biz posha you uh you’re Devils I saw they can’t even get in the the playoffs but they get brought up on ESPN is the worst overtime record in NHL history in the playoffs that really cracked me up I saw that that was shocking but I mean since I’ve kind of like been a fan I feel like they’ve been pretty good like this past season they were one in one in 2012 I’m pretty sure they were undefeated like Henrik had a couple overtime goals so that stat surprised me that must be like a late 90s early 2000s kind of thing if anyone is in Van Posh is available for private skating lessons as long as you take care of him after it doesn’t have to be paid for by cash thank you um what is the goalie V8 what is it is that reverse VH that’s the tomato juice was that well remember that tomato juice v v Soros had that thing going on that zadorov shot too because that shots from a bad angle sidorov’s like he’s kind of becoming a little like cult figure in oh they they’re gonna have to re people in Vancouver love them and that reverse VH it hurts the smaller goalies that’s what I was going to talk about you see uh you see Saros get exposed there look at Logan Thompson it’s all these guys who are below six feet or in that range guys like ainger can get away with it guys like Hill can get away with it all these mutants like vasileski they can be on their knees and their shoulders go up to the crossbar these other guys need to stand the [ __ ] up because they’re getting exposed and I actually think that the Vegas gold Knights or excuse me Dallas Stars have figured that that out because they’ve scored like that from Wyatt Johnson and then you saw the dnov one the other one that ended up going off of uh Dandrea that one ended up being a lucky one when he was batting with eel that hit him in the chest but these goalies are going to start getting exposed from that goal line area when they keep going down like this uh bis Tyson Barry got in the lineup first time all playoffs he didn’t know until like 20 minutes before the game he went for a walk all day he was on the scratches bus at 620 and then he found out Luke Shen was sick he end getting lineup get an assist so kudos to him I know you pal him I figured I give a little shout out yeah you know it’s been tough sledding for him he’s been out of the lineup and you know trying to keep his his motivation High you always want to be a part of it right and when he got picked up by them uh last year from Edmonton I think that he thought he was going to go in there and help QB the the power play well obviously if you got Roman Yosi I mean he gets first dibs right and it had hadn’t really worked out um you know maybe he’s out of the lineup too because he can get exposed defensively a a little bit but um I forget who it was who sat out with illness wasn’t Shen was it yeah oh was it yeah so he gets inserted his hometown of Vancouver basically I mean he’s from Victoria and I thought he had a pretty solid game so good for him and uh good good mojo for the squad him being able to come in and and make an impression on that peeps so um oh sorry B no I I didn’t really have much other than boys like JT Miller’s been a beast in this series even in that that game like I played a couple Clips uh in the in the intermission of him just completely dominating they need to get py to the point where he’s dominating a game if you pay a guy 11 million you have to drive your own line I’m not saying you got a show up all series and there has been a few instances where he has made good plays but he’s also made some bonehead ones he lost coverage in the last game where they were able to get out of but man he’s got to [ __ ] show up in game six he needs to take over he needs to elevate his level of play because if he doesn’t man I could see them dropping this in seven they aren’t getting any type of sustained ozone time other than that JT Miller and maybe the third line to some degree I thought I thought Darin’s Line’s been incredible too with lyol but where the [ __ ] is Petey man I don’t know and Canuck fans kind of sometimes they’ll blame the fact that he’s not playing with their Best Wingers and as you said you got to got to carry your own line dude look at the people mcdavid’s played with over the course of his career and obviously has highman but what has he done for him now Saros really wasn’t himself throte this series but the third period like even that entire game that’s a worry if I’m a Canucks fan I said I thought the Predators had the best chance of any team down 3-1 to come back and win this series now they’re going home dude that save he made on lindol the Garland pass from behind the net was so sick he did he had no room to tight turn against the boards did so quick and threw a blind backhander right to lyol it it felt like a set play like lolm knew he’d find it but he just darted over to the right and Saros slid over with ease and saved that one now they’re going home I mean yes they lost both games there but that crowd is still awesome it’s a hard place to play Let’s see if they can force a game seven but Saros getting hot and becoming who we all thought he was as opposed to the beginning of the series that that’s a worry right there so we’ll see how it ends up but I agree with you on py and Garland has been awesome that’s a guy and JT Miller has been great it’s just weird to see Vancouver like I thought they’d Clos that game out I really would and they didn’t have the challenge and all of a sudden they’re going back to Nashville on a tough fight why my Oilers need to close out this series tonight dude they will just be sitting around waiting for Vancouver so um is Quinn Hughes hurt does he have a shoulder issue I don’t know about the shoulder issue but I I wanted to talk to you guys about the game winning goal did you see it let’s hear it m it was a good shot it was a good shot great little shot smart shot from the D like giving all the ourbus club members limp dick right now another another one where the goalie was screen maybe Hughes actually screened them but are you telling me he couldn’t have blocked this shot I I I watched the clip I kept rewinding my TV I think he might even move this foot oh God like look at this you got you STI out mused you got to eat that look see how his legs turned that’s not how you block a shot and that’s what my whole thing is he doesn’t know how to block a shot and you can’t like his right foot is now facing the right corner in the last still image yeah see how it it keeps moving and then I’m telling you you rewatch the clip it looks like he moved his foot that’s not how you win in the playoffs and I talked about it before and it came up and there’s a game-winning goal now we’re going back to Nashville game six is there any way we’re doing a chicklet trip for that game that’d be a fun little spot to be Friday night in Nashville is it Friday night imagine me on Broadway pushing honey I got to on speaker phone keep pushing I’ll be home tomorrow yeah I don’t know what that M that was actually oh sorry go ahead the first playoff game faced an elimination the PRS have won since game six back in the second round of 2018 so been a little struggle in the old elimination games I think uh M you and you and posha are neck and neck for most hated man in Vancouver he’s he’s taking Pasha over easily I was starting to climb back but then that one just it it it happened for me exactly what I talked about you got to be big you got to block shots I was starting to think like well may because he doesn’t even play penalty kill or the last minutes when they’re up a goal so I was starting even to question if he’s their number one dman mer Merles cut the [ __ ] mer these other ones he doesn’t even play the final minute all these other guys play the final minute when they’re edman ma the makavo lrom keth number he’s a different type of number one although n was out there in the last minute um guys we have another huge game tonight with u Vegas Dallas before we get to that I need to talk to you about Peter malar spring is officially here the warm weather has

to you on this one how do you see this playing out six seven games or what I don’t I don’t remember who your predict I think if glass Banger shows up to game five Dallas is going to lose at home again he says that he wants to pay for his seats in his $9,000 hooker who this who spends $99,000 on a hooker it looks like glass Banger is currently in the chat right now as well where is he yeah this is my land [ __ ] he’s not coming on I’ll know he isn’t working dude he’s got his dad’s seed he’s got his dad’s money he’s the highman of glass bangers I said it originally the one thing they do have going for him is this Wyatt Johnston kid he is a [ __ ] gamer didn’t you say that he was going to be the next Patrice berser on Merl yep and I was laughed at then that was a couple years ago I never laughed at you for that not by us by probably the chat by Yeah by yeah I think wasn’t Monty the one who said it to you yep yeah he loved him I don’t know how he he must have known him from a prospect camp in Dallas or something and he goes to the hard areas too he’s slippery about it though he just seems to be able to get lost and I don’t know man he’s [ __ ] he’s taking over I think j’s got a ticket on him he spent 100 bucks to win 10 grand for a future on he wins the con Smite but they’re going to have to figure things out at home I would say that those two games showed me that we thought uh Dallas is exactly who we thought they were I thought hinan was probably the best player on the ice overall and the fact that he’s got to Lug the ice time he’s lugging he upped his physical game and he also got way more engaged offensively I don’t think that he had to during the regular season given the fact they had two first lines and it seemed like two third lines the way that they’ve been going but he had to elevate his play and become more of a monster in that number one that you talk about myrr and I thought he was [ __ ] everything is advertised he flies on the radar all season long because he plays in Dallas but he’s been lugging the mail jumping in looking like uh his old pal kingberg doing the Shakita Shakita Shakita hips on the blue line juking guys doing it quietly but I tell you tell you what man going back home they got to bring that same effort and the one thing going to the other side I don’t think some of the big boys for Vegas have shown up and March have been [ __ ] good but hurdle me P Barber the cigarette machine hasn’t played like he did last year petrol I don’t know if he’s still a little bit banged up outside of game one I haven’t really felt the effects of Mark Stone being that piece of [ __ ] pain in the ass maybe not the the the net front presence that we would have expected especially after that nice tipping in game one hey and it’s hard to get back into game shape maybe game one you’re running on pure adrenaline but they got to get their Stars a little bit more involved Shay Theodore is another guy like he should be another hkin and lug in the mail getting up in the rush getting more involved so overall man if if if Vegas’s Stars don’t show up I think that Dallas is going to take this series and I commend the young legs I think Stan koven already although not really finding the the back of the net as much as I’d expected he’s been great he’s been a water bug out there and uh hin finally showed up too he had that huge block at the end of the game in game four and he ends up getting the empty net so Dallas looking really good going back home but once again it’s G to come back to that [ __ ] glass Banger making it all about himself he’s probably not even gonna have a hot 900 $9,000 hooker she’s probably going to be a trash bucket just like he is and it’s going to be all about him and they’re going to lose and cost themselves the series he ain’t going to learn his lesson either because they’ll probably go win game six and then he’s still going to be an [ __ ] as opposed to giving away his tickets to charity and letting the ju guu be good in the bottom of the section nope he’s he’s a cancer folks he’s a bad he’s a bad bucket I I agree with you on that b mer you know what this is reminding me of and people will think I’m insane because it’s it’s quite the leap lockout year wils spar Penguins versus the Bingington Senators oh yeah Bingington wins the first two games and we storm back and we take four straight I think Dallas is a better team I think they got a lot more going for them I think they have a better goalie that is not to say Logan Thompson hasn’t been really good in this series but that the donov goal everyone’s like yeah it’s this insane shot like but dude it’s from the boards on the goal line that can’t go in and and Dallas is rolling now I think they take this I gotta talk to you because you mentioned Thompson Aiden Hill is going to get the start tonight no they did that wow Aiden Hill’s in the net I got some other other updates from our Vegas Insider we got new lines we got new lines out in Vegas blender put them in the blender yep you got hurdle ikel marchie dorv Stevenson Stone Howen mantha amadio carrier W and the cigarette machine on the fourth line it’s a cigarette machine so that’s how so it makes sense I think C he’s probably sick he hasn’t run over anyone remember last year bar remember the hit that barbashev put on gas I mean there was like 10 of those for him in the playoffs and all of a sudden he’s just kind of skating around I think that he’s so good when he doesn’t play like he has the skill level he has and he’s just like I’m just going to kill people and then his skill takes over he gets a little bit more room he’s he’s on the outside a little bit and Cassidy’s seen enough to stick them on the fourth line now granted their fourth line will play but still that’s not what you thought you’d get out of barbashev yeah I got like mantha’s just there as a placeholder for Carlson Carlson will be there in the game that was one one mishap I made I was just TR to say I thought I think Carlson’s a little banged up so mantha is just there for the the skate but that’s the lines from morning skate slick Willie will be there yeah as far as Vegas yeah Macho got two goals eel got three and the only other forwards who have goals Stone H hurdle and aodio only one goal each so yeah they definitely got to step it up if they’re going to win the series Ms for sure also you just mentioned Thompson first playoff STS he’s ever had two and two with a 235 nin one he’s been outstanding I think he hasn’t been a problem at all I’m surprised to go to Aiden Hills why what’s the I am surprised by that too like what’s yeah I don’t yeah I mean that that overtime game was incredible and that actually reminded me of the Bingington 2o we beat them in overtime and flip the series but yeah I mean a well Aiden Hill won the Stanley Cup last year how do you you know you maybe you give him the road game and if if you win you ride him if you lose then Thompson gets the home game right where he played phenomenal I don’t mind that hey since that uh [ __ ] glass Banger still in the chat if you guys lose game five at home and you end up going back to game seven at home are you g to show up if you’re 0 for three he’s just he you think this guy cares about anyone but himself and his hook daddy he’s going to the game nine grand what the I mean Christ house with that [ __ ] she better have the biggest boltons I’ve ever seen if you’re paying nine grand and where like where do you even get them on back pages where is he getting them local strip club imagine he ends up like getting arrested for this he buries himself on the Chicklets chat he should make Dallas fans a promise if it goes to game seven after going 03 at home he should put two of them in the front row tell them to sit down not say a word and bother anybody in the section no signs the whole game and he should go W watch at his local Watering Hole he shouldn’t go anywhere near that building be unselfish and let his team finally maybe win one at home so they can close out the series that’s just my thoughts but going back to you it he’s a selfish piece of [ __ ] it ain’t gonna happen they ain’t gonna win a home game with him in the building mark my words Whit what do you think the series goes six or seven what well I I I kind of I really um I messed up because I picked seven and then earlier in the show I said I like all my seven calls then I just said I think Dallas gets it done in six so I’ll stick to seven I think Dallas wins this series and I wouldn’t be shocked if they just go four straight they win at home tonight and in Vegas uh the next game game six and they get it done but I would like to see seven let’s say that but I got Dallas I got Dallas winning

Vegas you can also get tickets to Florida’s next opponent don’t know if it’s going to be Toronto or Boston we’ll see what happens there but the Panthers did finish off tamper in five games they cross state rival they finally beat him in a playoff series The First Time in three times they played him uh but Browski I’ll tell you his numbers weren’t good with you know four And1 obviously 278 896 he was Stella man I mean I think it was one game that kind of threw his numbers off kachuck for a hey led the way once again nine points for each Florida’s power play was Stella uh but let’s get to the Cooper the two overturn calls I mean he doesn’t usually [ __ ] as much to the media you know really complain but there was the duclay one and then the with Celli what what did you think when they yeah definitely on the first one of the duclair one that was [ __ ] the duclair one was um I I didn’t like either one of them um I don’t think Celli had a ton to do with B I not being able to save that puck but the duclair one my biggest problem is and I don’t know how it’s not taken into effect when the refs are looking at it forcings holding him forcings holding his stick like who’s to say duclair wouldn’t be just stepping out of the crease and out of the way if he wasn’t being held where he was so I don’t get how you know you talk about sometimes if if the defenseman pushes a player into a goalie if the if the defense defenseman on the goenda forward and then the goal will stand well the defenseman standing in there holding a guy from moving out of the crease and you still call it no goal so that one it’s like I don’t that’s why uh Coupe after that one was just yell like that’s [ __ ] [ __ ] that makes no sense because if you’re being held it should it should cancel out all of the goal tender interference that you consider with duclair in the crease because he wouldn’t have been standing there if he wasn’t held there so I didn’t agree with that one at all like his skates there but dude he’s trying to move and you could see on the video um of it like forcing pulling his hand and his stick away from you know getting even out of the crease so I’m not wording that as correctly as I wish I could but I hope you understand what I’m trying to say should be a holding penalty then there you go there you go and it’s bok’s choice to try to wrap his arm around his skate where it was there’s no rule about not having your skate in the crease I thought it was a complete hose job and it took every bit of momentum that Tampa was trying to gain uh in the game and people will say oh I God out hand Florida ended up outscoring them it was a way different game if those goals end up being counted and they’re getting power plays because they’re not being challenged so I thought it was [ __ ] and I feel like uh Tampa Bay fans were robbed what was potentially Stam CO’s last game as a Tampa Bay Lightning although given Breeze B’s comments this morning in the presser it feels like he maybe had a complete change of heart I don’t know if that was based on cont we W part of that group you all saw how uh from the trade deadline on stammer elevated his level of play uh which was incredible to see um for someone who you can say has already earned his Hall of Fame plaque um has accomplished so much already and has been accomplishing so much for so long for him to play arguably the best two months of hocke of his career because it started around the trade deadline he carried it all the way through that series against the Panthers for him to do that at the time when our team needed it most was incredible his age is like well well all right here’s the thing uh CP said it he belongs here we know it he knows it Breeze ball pretty much said the same thing but Breeze is GNA say yeah you should be here we want you here we know you want to be here take this I I don’t think because of what he saw from him and I don’t I don’t agree with this but I don’t think what he saw from him he’s going to really go off of his idea of his term and his salary cap hit and Merles mentioned in the group chat like yeah if you really want to stay you’re going to have to take a big- Time Hometown discount you’re probably not going to get the term you want I think stammer really deserves a lot that guy has been such a legend with that team forget the cups forget everything he’s done in the community forget the type of teammate he’s been dude this guy’s battled through so many different injuries like you talked last episode what sergachev saw stamp Coast do and he came back to score that huge goal in the bubble cup against Dallas when when they were in the bubble at covid time he’s always battle back the broken leg in Boston missing the Olympics it’s been just character forget the goals forget everything on the ice it’s off the ice stuff where you’re like this guy needs to be a member of the lightning so if they do really lowball him if and I’m stamp coost I’m saying [ __ ] this I I that’s way easier for me to say not living there and spending my entire adult life there half of his life been in Tampa Bay so it’s going to be hard for him but if they don’t show him the respect that I think he deserves and people came at me on Twitter like oh he’s a declining asset it’s like is he though cuz I saw him [ __ ] light it up this year and he was maybe their best player in the playoffs too I don’t know how yes he’s he’s one of the more dedicated players off the ice he works out with Gary Roberts so I know 34 is not exactly a spring chicken in today’s NHL but to me the way they get it done is keep the aav down and give them a little bit of extra term give them like a four or fiveyear deal I think A Team friendly deal is probably coming in at about four and a half I probably imagine that he’s going to want about five and a half which he could probably get on the open market I bet you the Leafs might even [ __ ] give him six just to bring his type of I think he could get a lot more than that yeah 40 goals last year this season I I I so what do you think A team’s gonna give a 34 year old like stepen stamp Co you think he’s gonna make three years at 6 million a year is it worth moving your family for the extra 500 to 750 Grand after taxes the guy’s made how much has he made in his career he’s probably 85 90 million bucks yeah just under 100 Mil there you go like what do you mean here so I think that if you give him term and and let him say hey we want you to play four or five more years here because we believe in the fact that you keep in shape that you can play that much longer let them end it a lightning be because the the time that four five years comes along kucherov ain’t going to be the same player hman ain’t G to be the same player vasileski ain’t going to be the same player let them all ride off into the sunset in Tampa Bay and if you get some [ __ ] dlam years who gives a [ __ ] all the fans are going to want to see those guys all retire together you can do [ __ ] Jersey retirement night after Jersey retirement night and get people in the building that way Christ look what the [ __ ] Penguins paid uh leang and malcin to keep them around around to sell out the building and have people around I think you give him term and I think you could probably get him back for five million bucks I think you can do where is your guys each one of you guys official prediction as to where he plays next season he’s playing I think now with everything that happened and the change of tone and Breeze I think 100% he’s back in Tampa I think that watching Bree Bo’s press conference I feel like that’s damage control based on the way they’ve handled it the entire season no I’ve never seen Breeze speak like that where he he comes off like he’s play playing a little bit of damage control no yeah very faring he was very faring towards him which I mean he should be it’s stco you but I AG I agree with you now I I think back to like legendary players leaving obviously it’s football but Brady like he hated belich by the end I think coup and Stam Coast seems like they’re very close they’ve had the success together and they I I I think he still wants to be there I don’t I haven’t talked to him about it but I I would like to see him remain at Tampa Bay Lightning I think it’s cool when somebody’s able to be on one team their entire career yeah I’d give him I don’t know I i’ give him three times eight but I you know that’s just mentality but you think be able to keep him for eight million no I mean I know the cap probably don’t work but I don’t know man the guy scored 45 goals last year you heard what Breeze B just said about him he was their best player for the last two months I mean his age is what it is but he’s not playing like he’s that old I mean he’s probably the best player for the last [ __ ] series for them I mean imagine he signs with the Panthers they don’t have the money they got to give it to Reinhardt well let’s go I know let’s let’s go into that because it was a Changing of the Guard in the State of Florida boys Matthew kachuck gave a great interview post game he said when I got here a couple summers ago we kind of talked about if we’re going to do this we’re going to have to get through them and they were able to not have to do it Toronto took care of it last year and then they were they just waxed Toronto but they knew they knew at one point to go on a run uh they’d have to end up knocking off the Champs knocking off the guys who’ve ran that state for a long time and they did it they did it at home which was really cool for the Panthers fans who’ve just been the the the nail in in the Rivalry of the the hammer and the nail with the lightning all these years and they did it at home the score wasn’t the score B how many empty Nets did they get maros is saying I was trying to live oh I was trying to live BET next goal I knew that coup would pull the goalie belligerent style and he did but it ended up being a drumming kach Chuck mentioned that it it meant a lot to them to beat them at home and and now you look at Florida I think Florida is the class to the east personally I love Carolina and I love the Rangers but I think Florida’s A Step Above both of them and they’re just primed and ready for another run if they could stay healthy like I think that’s the problem last year Vegas killed everyone well Vegas was not even playing the Panthers of the first round everyone was banged up so I know Bennett the injury wasn’t as bad as they they were they they had seen or maybe thought well wonder if they get him back for next round but the Panthers put on a performance barov was incredible I know K Chuck and vagi have more points but barov in that final game dude that short-handed goal he gets and just the way he kind of control that was his first did somebody say was his first three-point playoff game in game five I was shocked about that I don’t know if I’m getting that wrong I thought I saw that stat but he’s just a horse and they have all the Mojo going again I wanted to talk about Bob I don’t care like Gretzky our boy Wayne um stats are for losers right is that what he said and when he remember when he was talking about Grant fur when they were winning that cup with all those cups it wasn’t the it was the timely saves it was those big saves that turn the game and and that’s what’s been babowski he’s making the save at the most important part of the game again and I also want to talk about this mour he’s becoming one of my favorite guys he’s somehow he’s flying around he’ll be in the D It’s almost like Mar where he’s in the dzone and the next thing you know he’s the first guy on the for check sometimes and back yeah he’s he he doesn’t stop and then he’s absolutely just rip he’s got a Mean Streak to him too he’s a bit of a pain in the ass to play against like he’ll he’ll stick you he plays hard man he’s probably their most undersized D but he plays above his weight class and they’re they’re a beast back there boys they’re going to be a tough out I just think that I think they’re going to wax Boston or Toronto wax I actually wanted to say that of the 16 teams that began the playoffs I think everyone knew there was a couple that wouldn’t win the cup I think there’s seven that can win I think you got Florida Carolina Rangers I think they could all win the cup and then I think you got Vegas Dallas Edmonton and Colorado I think those are the seven teams granted dude it’s seven it’s not like I’m listing it down to two teams can win Boston and Toronto smell you later next round guys you’re going into the Beast that is Florida and you’re going into their Barn to do it I’m gonna focus on the first round we’ll take by one like oh Kelly claron that’s what’s going to be like whoever plays them next round oh yeah yeah yeah yeah 40-Year-Old Virgin style there you go buddy all right boys we got a a few more words from my good friends over at Verizon all right gang before we go any further here’s a few words my friends over at Verizon oh ho gang playoffs are in full swing right now we are so pumped up here at chicklets big matchups going on Vancouver Nashville not done yet Vancouver moves on cannot wait to see who they play Colorado as well looks like they might knock Winnipeg off see what happens there but I know I’m enjoying all of the all of these games because of Verizon’s fast reliable Network it lets me stream all the games stream the draft whether I’m on the go at home wherever I

if you’re not familiar with it you get Disney plus ESPN plus and Hulu one of the best deals out there and you can stream select Stanley Cup playoff games including every game of the Stanley Cup Final on ESPN plus visit verizon.com basol to learn more all right boys uh what you mentioned earlier Edmonton they’re playing H game five tonight versus LA Edmonton a minus 125 favorite Merles who you likeing that one tonight you want to get to my picks already ra well I mean might as well Dive Right In of course yeah I’m I’m I don’t have an Oilers hat but I’m going to be all over the Oilers three-way minus 120 I can tell you that and then with we’re going back after dry cidal for the over two and a half shots yep fiala over two and a half shots our guy from the sandbagger I watched the last few games he he doesn’t there’s not a shot he doesn’t like he doesn’t turn down any kind of like me at the pink Whitney parties and then uh this is an interesting one a new one I found with I think you’re gonna like this one and join me tonight uh de har block shots over two and a half plus 150 he’s been a beast back there I saw five I like this and you know the kings are going to have to come with a push so it’s one I’m I haven’t I’ve never done a block shot one but I’m I’m gonna have that in there tonight but I’m an Oilers tonight three-way I’m real excited for this game tonight I’m very excited um I have a little bit of the nerves going of of of coming out having them come out hot and ready to go like I you can’t come out flat like you saw the Bruins do it maybe they thought it’ be easier than it would be I would think after game four that Edmonton knows it won’t easy when La gets going they get going they’re back at home the game one at home they trucked them let’s see if that can kind of continue its way of of every other game the Oilers owning them McDavid um amazingly enough consistently like reaches levels that like Gretzky has like there’s certain numbers that mcdavid’s hitting that you’re like oh Wayne Gretzky is one of the only guys to do that he can join Wayne Gretzky tonight this is courtesy of Jason Gregor always dialed in with the Oilers uh of become of joining only Wayne Gretzky as as the H second player ever to have 10 or more assists in a playoff series twice McDavid has already done it once I believe Gretzky did it like five or six times not sure the exact number but McDavid has nine apples in this series so he could become only the second player after Wayne to get 10 twice in a series uh Lyon’s been dominant awesome clip came out I think it was with BR Biz of of basically um Power Hyman and NJ and Leon they’re all talking about different plays do a couple different plays and Leon comes in after one of the goals they can’t defend it they can’t defend it and they can’t uh an amazing PK that I said last show is just getting used and abused for the second year in a row not much to say considering they haven’t played since we last recorded but tonight’s the night to end this series if there’s a chance that Vancouver can have to go to seven more rest get everyone even more healthy I think Edmonton’s okay in that department knock on wood let’s close him out tonight Rogers Place will be rocking and there we go you said it the the combined special teams percentage for the Edmonton Oilers is at what3 153 where it seems like LA’s PK is just under 50% right now and their power play is 0 for 11 I believe in the series they don’t have a power play goal right no like that’s the [ __ ] Series right there like if they don’t get that goal and they don’t have a chance and Hell of coming back in the series uh like you said though when they when they are going and they got their lines cooking like last game expect a push I just think Edmonton’s too much and the fact that Skinner gets his confidence after that shut out I think Edmonton’s looking real good in the easiest path to the conference final I think of any team because if they’re GNA get they’re G to get the winner of Nashville Vancouver they’re gonna dust him I think this is over in five and I think the next one’s over in five too wow um Pier LeBron had a pretty good piece on the athletic about talking to uh former players and staff about how to maybe stop Edmonton’s power play like he talked to berson uh tip barui g carbon was in there it’s a cool article basically they all said like don’t take penalties there’s not good place to start oh you try to maybe take away one option oh they have four other ones so there’s no really stopping it that’s the thing there’s no stopping that power play sorry it’s going to [ __ ] oh that’s okay we’re just live know my thing was hey wait are we going to get some uh spaces tonight are they planned or we what we well here’s the thing for and I really appreciate a lot of people have reached out and said we like the spaces we like the spaces well the game I did the spaces they lost okay oh yeah the only game they’ve lost was the game I did spaces so it’s really hard for me to hop back into it if it’s five nothing after the first period I’ll do a spaces but I can’t really get invested in doing a spaces until game one of the next round because their only loss I was doing spaces every intermission and and me and you big cat were betting next goals that didn’t help either GL Banger should take a page out of your book having some self awareness oh he’s taking a Pages out of the back pages that’s his problemy guys I think we’re I think we’re g to move on to the second round but I got to tell you guys about the second round I don’t know if you guys saw it I saw it come up on my Instagram I tried to enter but I guess because I’m an employee I can’t but there’s a spit and chicklets playoff ticket giveaway with my favorite company Mugsy jeans if you use code chicklets you get 10% off in the winner will get a picture you signed with did you sign this picture already oh no yeah so it’s

one series we know of for the second round so far Carolina New York we got a little preview for you right now uh Carolina is a minus 140 favorite that Rangers 100 to make 120 uh playoff history the Rangers beat Carolina back in the second round of 2022 Carolina beat the Rangers back in the qualifying round during the bubble uh playoffs there uh intered nugget from Dan Rosen laviolet coach the 06 canes that won the cup Rod Brindo was the captain it hasn’t happened since 1947 that a series featured two opposing and coaches who won a cup together like that with the 32 Leafs yeah kind of wild stuff there I mean this is a wicked even match I mean Anderson playing out of his mind sh stur has been out of his mind as well Merles what are you first on this one who do you like and why yeah this is going to be a tough one I I mean I I’ve always really liked the Rangers I called off them this year with Peter Lavette but the other day Peter malar sponsored Game notes and I took Peter lavette’s team the Rangers and I won a bunch of money but if you remember the Rangers this is how I’m going to make my pick the Rangers Islander games all season I know they’re a rivalry so it’s a little different but they were tight games Islanders probably had their way with them at the end and we saw what Carolina just did to the Islanders that home crowd I gotta I’m gonna take Carolina in the series and I it’s gonna be seven games I’ll give him at least seven games though Carolina and seven too many weapons too good a d they’re just they play harder I feel like than the Rangers they’re a little stronger more playoff style and that plays just just rocking when they get going can I go because I’ll argue all those points besides maybe the D I think I think the Carolina has a better D I got the Rangers in this series I got him in seven games I think it’s very evenly matched but you’re talking about uh Carolina’s Arena MSG MSG in the springtime after a first round flame out last year oh that place is going to be on fire and the biggest Difference Maker for me eigor shurkin the guy has been Unstoppable since his early season struggles it seems like all the Mojo and all the things in New York City are coming together and the Knicks had a tough loss I actually saw a stat that in 1994 the Rangers swept the first round and then the Knicks uh were like up 3-1 and went to the the finals like will it happen again well sure [ __ ] the Knicks ended up losing last night I’m kind of all over the map here but I think there’s some 1994 magic with this Rangers team I don’t have him winning the Stanley Cup but I have him winning this series in a classic alltime closely fought series back and forth where it’s 1-1 after the games in MSG it’s 22 after the games in Carolina and then maybe they go back and forth Home winners and Rangers get it done at home in game seven troch has a lot to play for not only is he playing for the Stanley Cup Carolina got rid of him I just think that the Rangers and their goal tending will end up being up on top but it’s going to be unbelievable hockey and I’m on I’m on the rags Biz nasty what do you have for us buddy I got the feral he’s in six oh he’s mushing you he’s trying to Mush you Rangers fans I know what he’s doing no I know what he’s doing I I agree with you Whit I think it’s going to come down to goal tending I mean Anderson’s been incredible but he’s no shurin um I don’t think that Carolina faced a back end in the first round like they’re about to witness in round two aside from the five mutants they have who play strong in front of the net much like Florida did last year where I feel like the small forwards for Carolina are not going to be able to get to the net front to the paint like they were in round one they haven’t dealt with a defenseman hey they had no ad doson in round one boys he ate no Adam Fox Adam Fox is the the modern day Sergey zubov I think he’s going to have a huge huge huge component to this series especially on special teams in the power play which I think will flourish on what is typically an unreal PK team in Carolina and the other thing too is Carolina plays that man on man D what I saw as far as offensive zone movement from the New York Rangers and the pick plays and how they play they they get that forward lost up top sometimes you see them three across the blue line I think that they’re going to create a lot of problems for that man on man D and we’re going to see a lot of breakdowns for the Carolina Hurricanes and which they’re not going to be able to adjust the fugazi have turned into the feres sure what’s his name uh their goalie help me out shurin has found his game and uh I think that they’re going to be a threat and I got I have a little I have a little hot take or or a prediction not the craziest prediction Jacob trouba will throw a hit in this series where he’s either suspended or people are losing their mind that he wased he is going to crush someone and there’s going to be the internet of Blaze and everyone’s going to be talking about another trouba truck stick he’s the new Tom Wilson not the craziest call I’ve ever made but he’s going to be flying around trying to kill guys on Carolina he usually does that so it’s not nuts to say but this series you’re gonna see it you’re gonna see it from him G uh what do you have for us buddy Rangers Carolina uh I’ve been to a playoff game at MSG and I’ve been to a regular season game at the Hurricanes Arena and I would say the hurri kan’s Arena during the regular season was actually louder uh I think they have a significant home ICE Advantage so there’s something about this hurricanes team to this year where it just I I it just feels like their year so I love the Hurricanes I think the Hurricanes do it in six games uh I’m not as bullish on this Rangers team as much as as you guys are um yeah so so I like why is that I just don’t think they’re built for a playoff run I just don’t think like like Merles has said before like Adam Fox number one guy he’s an incredible defenseman you need some big guys out there they have trouba they have Keandre Miller but i’ I’ve just never really been sold on the Rangers either just like I don’t think their top six is as good as people make it out to be mik’s a been a Jad he plays for Four games he’s the best player on the ice he disappears for five games you never see him again so yeah that’s kind of where I stand okay all right I got a I agree with G ex I got Carolina in six as well I think I same same logic I just for the lack of a better term they do I mean they’ve been beaten at this door for a while now a couple of what it called Conference Finals they couldn’t get yet past and gensel and what’s his name there ah kof those are huge pickups we just saw the last game with the effect they had yeah I got Carolina in six as well wouldn’t surprise me at all here’s my prediction for the series ra is that there’s going to be a controversial call and we’re going to see an iconic Rob bremore press conference with him losing his mind he has been calm calm as a cucumber Cal first round he was calm right it’s boiling up it’s Bo boiling up it’s sizzling baby it’s like a volcano it’s ready to erupt we need to have you there biz for that press make sure you ask the first question you’re going to see the vein in his forehead popping out and he’s going to say something to get himself fined and they’re going to get [ __ ] hooses because of course the Rangers are going to get whatever they want because they’re one of the original six I’m telling you it’s gonna happen that’s my prediction you mentioned brind Moore and there was an article in the score today about brind Moore and he apparently is very unsure about his future in Carolina uh here’s the quote confidence say he become unsure about his future in Carolina according to a source familiar with those conversations via the news and observers Luke de you don’t think Ronnie Francis is going to get ownership in Seattle to throw the bag at Rob bremore oh well perfect segue Biz um one more thing gensel he’s always kind of owned the Rangers first ever goal first ever game first ever shot against the Rangers playoffs as the Penguins played him so that is a scary player every team has their killer gel’s a Rangers killer but I still got the Rangers go ahead over to Seattle and ha getting the ax all right yeah three seasons that included a surprise uh two series player run in year two Seattle Kracken a fired head coach Dave haxall uh he went 107 112 and 27 his three years uh Emily Kaplan from Espen reporter that in uh player exit meetings a lot of players indicated they did not want to play for him anymore refused to play for him anymore that’s some little surprising to here but um shocking but not shocking what I can tell you is that Ron Francis did not want to make this move Dave haxel is now one of four coaches who lost their jobs this cycle who didn’t even have their extension kick in yet but I was told at the exit meetings with players there was a handful of players and pretty significant players who made it clear to management I don’t want to play on this team in the future if Dave hackel is still the coach and that forced them to make a change Paul McFarland an assistant also didn’t have his contract renewed that is that is a damning uh report rep by Emily Kaplan good reporting I the craziest part of that for me is that four coaches have signed extensions and then been fired before the extensions what the [ __ ] what a gig that that is INS yeah no [ __ ] R right oh my God what how is that happen how are you that sure of giving a guy an extension we love you as our coach and then gassing him before the thing even starts Biz well I I when we had the Denver Coach on Carl he said he goes the turnover in the NHL right now as far as head coaches is crazy um it seems so fickle where all of a sudden a couple players who aren’t happy with the head coach all of a sudden he’s gone like that’s crazy my wheels started spinning like uh I’m drawing a blank on their first line Center who had a tough year McAn bers bers like who who could have the type of impact where he walked in a meeting to say like and I’m not speculating either but like to for for guys to go in and say they C play for this head coach after I felt that they’d established a a pretty good culture over the past couple seasons and even from when the cameras were in the locker room when they were at the the Winter Classic it felt like he had a good sense of the locker room and it seemed like the guys loved playing for him and clearly things fizzled out towards the back half of the season but I guess it goes back to when he was with the Flyers it seems like he brought in that college style of coaching where he’s a little hard on the players and when you treat them a certain way it works at one level where it won’t work at the next and maybe that rubbed off on the players eventually to where they’re saying hey peace out we don’t want you as a head coach anymore but very surprising given the fact that they went to the second round last year after knocking up the the defending Stanley Cup champions and then yeah obviously not the same season they had but they also dealt with a crazy amount of injuries and a tough Western Conference so when your first sline center puts in what matd Baner what you have 15 goals this year it’s going to be tough to win in the National Hockey League and make playoffs so I don’t think all the onus is on hack stall I was shocked to hear these reports and shocked at the fact he ended up getting canned but uh that’s the that’s the new NHL for you guys that’s probably one part of the new NHL I’m like ah kind of like wait players can just go in now and be like I’m not playing unless this guy gets gas imagine imagine Ron Francis when he played the game how how coaches treated players at times not saying it was always correct but that’s that is a new NHL move right there like I’m done I don’t want to play for this guy he he had to he better have been miserable to people and an absolute prick if you’re going in and you’re just basically like I I don’t want to play like teron was hard as [ __ ] on me I never even considered saying that now Grant I didn’t have PLL with teams I was on but it wouldn’t even have gone through my head to be like fire this guy or I’m done yeah I wonder what like the Hub players like a GM has to hear from to like to consider holy [ __ ] man I can’t bring this guy back cuz you know obviously they’re not going to call these guys Bluff I mean guys say oh I’m not going to play I mean what they going to send him the miners or whatever so I wonder what the parameters out there go what what player do you think could walk in to have a type of impact where if they said that I would say turbo uh dun Lawson de Alex lson bers like who else could go in there and say that where they’re actually consider I’m thinking I’m just thinking of like solid Eberly and Mum just we’re we’re listing off their key players yeah bork strand but like none of them they’re all they’re an expansion team none of them are significant players they’re all castoffs baners maybe he’s the top pick he’s like they one guy yeah but I I mean I don’t I think it’s all smoking mirr because he’s getting giv Rody brind more eight times eight or something that’s what I was kind of getting to was who would be able to say that to it to have an impact and Baner played his second year all these other guys it ain’t like they’re like going to be there for the next 10 12 years they’re all gonna what I’ve heard from MERS bis and like meeting him when we interviewed him I would be shocked exactly if that kid went and said that like I just don’t picture that he played college he knows the college system like that’s another college coach like he’s used to that yeah plus he’s a young guy I don’t think a young guy like that’s gonna I say that type of stuff probably a little gun shy at this point yeah I bet it was all all veterans but either way uh he’s gone though be looking for a new coach uh we do have some finalists uh to announce the call the finalist no surprise here Conor badad uh Brock fa who you’ll be hearing from soon on this broadcast and Luke Hughes uh with no surprise but is gonna win it right I mean it is great yeah for fa had somebody said it was buoy who [ __ ] ratted out hack yeah we wouldn’t mask off for hack anymore here’s the thing about the Calder Trophy is I think a lot of people figured Bard would get it nobody can consider to be as end up being as close of a race with a lot of people thinking fa deserves it more he was right there he was that good so many other years that guy’s taken down Rookie of the Year honors it just happened to be with this generational unicorn talent coming in and exceeding expectations that were already incredibly high so Bard’s the winner and and fa’s like your 1B he was awesome this year so the finalist though made total sense to me yeah no surprise there we had the naris finalist announced as well Biz uh we got Quinn Hughes Roman Yosi and uh kale MAA basically the highest highest scored offensive defenseman out there it’s no longer about defense anymore we say that all the time but who you giving a to Biz well these guys do it all right um I would say that Yosi what do you mean do they do it do they do it all did he block the shot last night oh for [ __ ] sakes did he clear the front of the net last they do a lot they do a lot you know they they they do most of it um I think the best defenseman in the world is easily kale Mar I think that based on a full body of work this season and and how valuable he was to his team I think that Quinn Hughes is gonna win it me too I think that you any I honestly think that if you interviewed all 32 GMS marar would beat out McDavid as far as what GMS would select which player first overall based on the impact and ice time they can play in a game and of course age being a factor I think that like in a I think kale Mar should win it I think Quinn Hughes Will based on Canadian media getting more votes and voting them uh first overall that’s just how it’s going to go and I’m okay with Quin Hughes eventually winning one of them but I think by the time it’s all said and done Kell Mar is goingon to have four or five and he’s going to go down as the greatest defenseman of all time yeah Quinn definitely had lot more Buzz this year about hey Merles did you get cut by Vancouver at some point and never tell us or what no I’m just I mean it just keeps happening it just it’s just happening for me it’s just popping up they’re not built for this troll with the boys uh boys any other uh hockey notes outside Hockey World you want to show I got just as the official scorekeeper I gotta add from the preview posha has the canes in six and I make a point of that of posha you wouldn’t think it but after the four series that have completed he is the leader in the clubhouse at 4-0 Biz 3 And1 Whit 3 And1 G 3 And1 Army 3 and one memy three in one Merles three and one ra one and three so that’s afteru [ __ ] holy [ __ ] though hey Merles Game notes uh coming Friday right Game notes will be Friday I’m not sure the time cuz now Army just got called back to TNT I guess but in Game notes fashion let me give you some picks I already gave you the who’ I give you guys the Oilers already I’ll give you the Vegas ones Mara show over half a point Johnston over half a point a goal in the first 10 it’s boosted up on DraftKings to plus 100 I love that action and then Vegas baby Vegas money line plus 136 you’re giving me that Allstar team I think they’re they’re going to like wake up and show up as the veterans they are last pick hurdle anytime goal scorer from the Vegas Insider plus 285 arm zenic Oilers and Vegas minus one and a half parlay that’s a lot of picks tree all right all right all right all right gang great show hopefully everybody enjoyed it we’ll see you next uh Monday for the next uh version of spit and chicklets here people say I’m smoking crack CU I said ma will end up being better than Bob y now to to Bob I can’t believe didn’t fight that I I went like this like or or even lrom I think lrom got what do you have seven or eight Norris’s yeah but but watching kale marar he’s clearly visibly more dominant than what ledstrom was lrom did what do you mean [ __ ] me bro watching the game you don’t think that he’s got more he is a he is a more Dynamic skater buddy for 20 [ __ ] years Nick l didn’t get beat didn’t get hit didn’t make mistakes didn’t turn the puck over I’m not saying kale Mar isn’t on track to become one of the top three if not maybe the best defenseman ever but you can’t say just because Lidstrom didn’t fly around with the offensive explosion skating stride Mar has that he wasn’t as dominant I would say that high-end kale Mar is better than highend Nick ledstrom let’s put it to a vote G get in I I seem to lose these arguments to you quite a bit Nick lrom was my favorite player my hero growing up so I’m just like kind of like coming at you right now but Nick lrom was different it didn’t look the same way but it was dominance dude yeah I understand and he ALS they also had a an unreal team with seven Hall of Famers for a long time in a non-ap era so he was also surrounded by a lot of greatness as well not to say that Mar hasn’t been but I would just say if Mar is able to to sustain what he’s done the last two three seasons and keep it going like every time he breaks a stat he’s in the same category as Bobby or like I think he was the fastest defenseman at 250 points wasn’t he or second behind Bobby or now to Bobby or’s defense to Bobby or’s defense I think that he six seasons he was 40 or more points greater than the next defenseman and in one of those Seasons he was 70 points more than that defenseman below him so what he did to revolutionize the position and how much greater he was for those eight let’s say eight to 10 years but from a longevity perspective and what I think will be an extremely long career for kale Mar and watching him night in Night Out in today’s NHL given the the the Level Playing Field of how good players are and the fact that he’s able to do what he did against the Winnipeg Jets like take it below the goal line and go end to end like let wasn’t really dominating the game offensively the way that kale Mar is and you could say Bud he was able to walk the line with his head up and filter shots through with great screens and make great plays offensively but let’s not sit here and say that high-end offense of marar is not as good as Nick Lindstrom high-ends I didn’t I didn’t say that but I was about to say like defensively like I I I agree like Mar’s incredible but for you just to immediately say after what five seasons that like he’s better than Lindstrom I I think that’s a little crazy he’s on a he’s on a trajectory to be better in my opinion just like I said Austin Matthews was on a trajectory to be the greatest goal scorer of all time and he’s dummying O’s records from a a game and goals perspective right now he’s on pace so would you say based on the the dynamic aspect of Mar’s yeah Mar’s like so Dynamic you’re talking about his skating and how he looks when you’re watching the game is McDavid better than Gretzky I would say uh I do you know what I mean by that where like if you watch him skate like it’s different no no uh no I would say no because at the time period Gretzky compared to his peers were just that much better like I said the high-end like Bobby or but we’re also talking about like the I mean buddy like you’re talking about a guy who has more assists than an next player has points here so we’re talking a little bit app and oranges and also the fact that Gretzky was able to do it for as long as he did Bob yor was limited to the amount of years he played due to injury but going back to the ledstrom argument I would say if you looked at high-end offense marar is greater and more impactful defensively I would say let’s say it’s a wash because if you watch Mar play and how fast he is and I would say that he plays a little bit more physical than Lindstrom did I would say he probably wins netfront battles a little bit more than ledstrom did uh I’ll give you physical I will not say net front battles okay from a neurological perspective I would say that they’re even and how smart they were and how they processed the game I would say that from an overall perspective and how much he shines more than his peers I would give it to Ma and I think he’s on a trajectory to be better than him and I think if he can sustain what he’s been doing so far in his first what six seasons that he will be better than based on a full body of work so I I I’ll leave it at that and to the people in the chat saying I’m smoking crack I’ve said my piece and you smoked it I think it was a good argument no 100% no no you made great points for I think it’s just like lrom just did it for so long that yes there’s arguments to be made but you just got to let it breathe for like I think Mar would have to do this for like 12 more years dude like did it 20 and I think he will and he could and he could I think he will all right all right nice little discussion at the end of the show Game notes coming to you Friday chickets will be back next week great great hockey in store tonight and the rest of the week love all you guys love you adios

Rangers in 4. lfgr.
I need the Avs hat 😅
That outright disrespectful to say Makar is a better defender than Lidstrom. I will give him offense, but no way he’s a better defender…and I like Makar a lot, but look at what Bobby Orr did in comparison to not just other D-men…
Stamkos and Brind'Amour to NY Rangers.
Stamkos is not going to sign for less than $7-8M AAV to come back and play in Tampa and prob $9M+ AAV if it’s elsewhere.
Similar to Joe Pavelski back in 2019 was 34 yr old when he left the Sharks for Dallas and signed him to a 3 year deal worth $21M ($7M AAV) …
They’re also in talks to extend Hedman before his contract is up next season 2024/25. I could see a scenario where both Stammer and Hedman sign matching contracts. They will likely have to make trades and get fancy with the cap but I can see this being done.
A brand new 4,400 sqft house in Scottsdale AZ is minimum $2-3M .. in Cali we’re taking $6M+ lmao.. Biz thinks everyone’s got this massive mansion and shit. The average house is like a 3×2 and probably 1,200-1,500 sqft
I make good money biz, sad to say I don’t have a fully furnished putting green in my said basement currently 🤣
"Grenell. whats your take?"… "Well PNC Arena is louder"… You sound like a fair-weather female fan😘
Biz is such a coke head. He thinks the leafs are going to win the next three in a row against boston????
Such gentleman
When you listen to RA, put the play back at half speed and he seems to talk normal
“Lidstrom didn’t get beat” made me laugh
Guys, what’s wrong with pasta and hes getting knocked off the puck easy??? Do you not watch him every year in the playoffs ? It’s the status quo
Bis Hefner
RA cutting G off was wild lmaoo
Someone tell Whit that Tomas Nosek is not on the Carolina Hurricanes roster.
RA giving off Hunter S Thompson vibes
Hey Baby B-B- B-BANG ( all signs are good )
Every other person on the podcast: wearing clothes and showing merch..
Biz: Open bathrobe that he stole from a Hilton they put him up in for free..
Give you head a shake Biz. The one your neck this time. Not everybody has a 4400 sq ft house and even less could afford if they dressed for work like you do
Biz you’re rich, we’re all pigeons 😂😂😂
50:33 Don't worry Whit. You also pronounced Nyqvist or any other European name wrong.
RA reading the goalie stats is painful
READ IT LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN
Heres how he would read 3.50GAA
"three-five-oh goals against"
I have to stop & think. Just say three fifty
I shouldn't have to stop what im doing and think about something like that
Biz is becoming a Leaf bootlicker just like all the HNIC and Sportsnet guys, afraid of being blackballed by MLSE!
Biz is wearing the bathrobe so he can tug himself fantasizing about Michelle Marner!
flash the white collar out of the gate jesus biz lol
Rod the bod…next head coach of the sens
suck it murls
The one team that will destroy the Avalanche in the Cup Finals is the Florida Panthers
Kaner is king of the slo mo penalty shot
Shoutout Strathvegas!!
Love Biz and Whit's reasoning for the Rangers winning "the canes didn't have to play a D like the Rangers have in round 1" Do explain the fortress that is the Washington D that NY had to play in round 1?
i’d like to say FL vs CO finals,but you can’t discount NYR or CARO; hockey series is often more about matchups vs talent unless you have a juggernaut, which CO may be.
re NSH vs VAN, NSH has been a bit more tilted the ice in their favor but VAN is more opportunistic; it’s a coin toss as to who goes fwd.
Dude… I live in Kincardine, Ontario, 4400sq ft would likely be the in the top 1% of homes in the whole county. I’m at 2600sqft and I think my house is enormous and I have a family of 5.
I Agree with murls, when the Hawks won their 3 cups they had Seabrook and Hjalmarsson blocking over 150 shots a year and putting their bodies on the line in the playoffs
sooooo gay the nhl won’t let u guys show highlights. i don’t even watch em but would of u guys talked over em
Murl is hilarious. Makar is baby fed offensive starts and is nailed to Mackinnon. VANs D is also twice the size of COLs AND Hughes has had the puck waaay more than Cake this year so all his points were kinda poop.
why are you guys talking about this nobody on a hockey podcast??? its too much, we do not care about him. please stop.
It's the Hurricanes year every year apparently
ra and g are bruins fans ofc they’re gonna think the rangers lose
Biz channeling his inner Tom Segura flexing on us poors
Matthews has a knee injury. A dirty play by McAvoy when he grabbed him and pulled him backward in a very awkward position.
Where did Murl get the avs hat? That hat is sick
Ra is a god, but holy smokes was he out to lunch during this live
And that’s without Druin
Grinelli sucks
Biz just has the dumbest takes. Dude makar is a beast but don’t make a claim like that until he’s in his 30s still doing it.
RA's to busy tweeting about birth control instead of reading what insiders are tweeting about injuries and info.
Compares Bergeron to a slug!! He says some stupid stuff.. like a leaf fan
Listen to the story at 52:46 if nothing else
