the hotel grinding with Biz I couldn’t get a hold of him I came in he was like seemed real Dopey like sleepy and I feel like it’s I feel like it’s got to smell like weed and hooker there it does it does on the other side of the table like where my camera is on the other side he’s got [ __ ] all over on the table here like stuff I was just like the bed made the bed is kind of made yes oh normally he is never made whenever he has that in the background I know well I think he already did like a show today already this guy’s a Workhorse he’s living out of this hotel room so technically I’m in his house now but I couldn’t get a hold of him and I was like G was trying to call everybody to get him like to find him so I’m like I can’t get a hold of this guy and so 10 minutes before the show I finally got up and in here but I beat you here Merles I beat you on the show what the heck is I had I got a lot going on here I got a lot going on I was out I got the kids I’m up gotta hear this I’m up take the kid to school she somehow she snuck out of the house on me in like these dress sandals and I’m I’m just kind of like take her to school and didn’t realize it till I’m walking her into the school like you can’t be wearing those you know she needs her running shoes on so I do that I could down and I do a down and back he little bag skate bring her back to shoes and then I had to go to the store so I run to the store Kentucky Derby party tomorrow got to get all the good stuff gotta get the chips gotta get the dips all that good stuff I also have a first communion tomorrow had to go to the bank get cash nobody ever has cash anymore like oh you’re the king you’re the king of running around doing put in the first communion card you got to do that I had a bag of laundry I had to drop off at Goodwill get gas in the car I come back I got go out for my hero run you know stay stay in the stay in the race with you to get thin and then here we are you know those don’t even count as things buddy one of the ones was put gas in the car big one yeah work I was surprised you didn’t list breathing as one of the [Laughter] this is unbelievable so busy Aaron boy Merl they call the chat Brownie and then also the reason I was really late I was doing my homework on our special guest we have today oh yeah I’m so fired up for this so I we have O’s The Mentalist coming on we’re GNA talk leas we’re g to talk everything but I I I dug deep in I was on the on looking at his shows on America’s Got Talent I was looking at all this stuff trying to find out all about him so we’re ready for the show I’m working oh was The Mentalist and Merl’s the concierge that’s good you guys will hit it off I’m sure I saw that in the chat someone said that Merl’s the concierge man I love it yeah that’s great yeah I’m pumped about this and obviously he made that you know he’s done some amazing things you can look him up on YouTube and find him anywhere and all the stuff that he’s done high energy really cool guy but like uh uh he made that like Biz brought it up on the podcast from Carlo kako up in Toronto off his radio show had him on as a guest and he predicted the Leafs would win this series in comeback fashion dramatic comeback fashion um and then he he even Carlo posted a message of him they’re texting each other apparently and he had a prediction of the game that the Leafs are going to run away with it something and it might even be a shut out of course we know the shut out got broken at point1 seconds which was crazy if you want to so he almost got that right yeah but now tell me tell me what you were putting in our chat last night which one oh yeah so I’m just sitting there and I’m getting bored with the night you know it’s just like these shots nobody’s getting their shots off and it’s it’s a couple guys are there I had two out of three guys hit but I’m just kind of I need action I need I need more I need more action so I did a little live bet Leafs minus one and a half and I’m better than that I’m better than that I should have done next goal because my whole thinking was they’re gonna get the empty neck goal and I’ve been burnt on this before where you get it and then the other team scores a meaningless goal and I should have known I should have been better but I had Leafs minus one a half neander gets the breakway I don’t even need the empty net I’m laughing I I kind of even want I wasn’t even watching and then all of a sudden I see they’re reviewing for a goal and yep 0.1 seconds and I got burnt hold on a second if you can make the other live show pictures and picture accessible some guy’s asking Tech questions there Osirus 23 right there budy we’re here for I know I don’t know what this guy’s talking about in the love the chat though what a game last night it was tight checking I I found it to be it was so bad so B for a while like what did you make what did you make of Boston too like I thought they would come in Biz had a good point in the walkin they looked tight they played kind of tight Marian I didn’t even know if he was playing like he he missed that one little rebound he couldn’t Coral it on his back and he might have scored right there but other than that they kept him in check pretty good pasta was falling all over the place who put that was that you that put that out last night like what’s up with he been on the pink Whitney all day like yeah he did not look good I don’t know what to make of it I think Swan looks cool and calm but this wall on the other side Jacob wall has been he might turn out just being the massive Difference Maker they need yeah and I saw the interview after the last not last night’s game the game before where he’s just like he’s calm he’s not like he’s not he’s so awesome and that’s how the team is playing you know when you’re just got that goalie calming influence it calms the whole team down it’s not this erratic goalie all over the place remember when cheer was great for us in wilbury Kyoto you just knew you had a good goalie back there and you just it just made you so much more relaxed it was it was really something and and I don’t know who it was was talking about it saying the Bruins players are probably not thinking about the 3-1 blown of course they’re thinking about that are you think you nuts they’re like oh my God we can’t blow this again we’re gonna blow this again I I was like of course they are you know the coaches too the whole city is RA I haven’t heard from ra since they lost yeah I think I called him Jacob W it’s Joe Joe wall Joseph wall my bad I see the chat giving it to me Merles you didn’t you didn’t listen to ra spaces Last Night Live from the bar could barely hear I didn’t hear it either what did he do give us give us a quick uh Cole’s notada could hear word he said he was in the middle of a live he was a bar with music playing he was talking to people you couldn’t hear a single thing unprofessional unprofessional spaces marbles in his mouth as always absolutely marbles in his mouth we wouldn’t have it any other way all right let’s get let’s get to the chat lay we got a little chat lay put together for you before we get going here’s a chat lay option A we’re going to have for you guys as the home option the home team option plus 245 Nashville Vegas option b chat our great chat you guys decide everybody rides is the away teams Vancouver and Dallas to 292 plus 292 great little parlay put together little chat lay for the chat Party Cities there option A maybe could have been a different name party party towns part Dallas they’re good cities but I don’t know if they’re as partyish yeah you know yeah I don’t know either I don’t know either we’ll get to our picks later I’m gonna I’m GNA take in some of our uh guest picks first maybe if he gives us some picks or a little insight on something but we’ll get to our picks after after him all right want to snap it around a little bit around the NHL I mean that’s the Toronto Boston game six right there for you in a nutshell we’ll we’ll probably get back into it obviously with Oz The Mentalist when he pops on with us je I I just I gotta chime in here before we move on from from this Toronto Boston series oh here we go yeah give us something here’s where I stand I said I would speak on Game notes here’s my my my thoughts and last night I was as as down as I’ve ever been I I had to take a walk around Hoboken around midnight and I I was in shambles I I was legit in shambles walking around Hoboken I would say that uh this is my nightmare this is my full-blown nightm full-blown Nightmare how could the Bruins do this to us again and let’s be honest I mean the Bruins have been absolutely brutal uh they’ve gotten zero offense from the center position especially I said coming into this [ __ ] thing that s uh the center position is going to provide offense they provided more offense than they did last year of course I was wrong Poss is clearly hurt Monty making the lineup changes after game five made zero sense the big dogs have been absolutely invisible for the biggest games of the season but we all need to remember one thing and one thing only here we’re dealing with the Toronto mate beliefs the biggest choke artist in NHL history the core 4 may be the biggest frauds in NHL history I love the bees in game seven give me the bees get to Boston early hit the greatest bar get the pink Whitney shots flowing and get into the garden and I want you to be as loud as the garden has ever been in Boston Garden history let’s go bees I love the Bruins tonight or tomorrow night and uh tonight and tomorrow night got this mayy they look like they look like they’re shook right now G and I don’t blame you for doing the nightmare walk around hoken because I mean they’ve got to find something maybe they should step out and go for a walk around Boston wherever they live I hear stories these guys walking their dogs you know maybe allmark Wayman can do a hug in the street the big goalie hug they need to do something pasta go to the tailor get another funky sup built out I don’t know what they need but they look like they have no Mojo they look like they’re zero they look horrible they look horrible and muros I mean Monty what the Boston fans so let me let me come at you from the Boston fans standpoint all my group chats right now are saying if they lose this game you fire Monty immediately I’m not of that’s I’m not in that in that case like I I don’t believe they should fire Monty if they do lose this game but I’d love to hear from you guys on Monty as a whole how he’s handled this series how he’s handled the goalie decisions the lineup changes kind of everything revolving Monty yeah give it to us all right yeah he he looked a little little uh upset in that press conference last night he’s probably like almost out of answers too because for two games in a row to show up and not get any shots in the first period is just it’s crazy like you can’t even get a shot it’s the maple Le they have the worst like d in the world you can’t even get a shot on goal so he’s probably like kind of flustered I think now like the goal like are you guys playing Swan are you guys all happy Swan did he make he’s been incredible he’s been fine and I had a buddy guy asked me the same thing if what do you think if they lose which is of course you Bruins fans are already thinking about losing like if we lose are they gonna fire Monty I’m like we have to remember they weren’t even supposed to make the playoffs last year they weren’t even supposed to to make it this year they lost their two best guys according to every Bruins in the world and look what he’s done for you guys so he’s made two years you guys are going for the president’s Trophy this year again you won it one year so yeah of course the playoffs isn’t great but that really his fault when p and Marshon don’t show up Z I mean is posha right about zaka that guy is terrible last night he did nothing boys I don’t want to come in here stir the pot I don’t want to chirp I just want to leave you with one statistic pav zaka 18 career playoff games zero goals wow is that right not wrong not wrong at all posha bomb right there that’s a that’s the only thing that can get him to score now I’m gonna take his anytime goal next game roll that clip can I ask you guys though Coan moros who whose job is it who is this on to to get the players going you always say it’s the coach’s job to get the players going but when you have vets in the room like Marian and posture not like is at what point does it fall on the players to get going and it’s and it’s not on the coach anymore well I think it’s always on the players I think it’s always on the players to get going I don’t know what the coach can do he can prepare you he can give you like you know this is what they do on their for check this is what we’re going to do but it’s on the players to get ready they look shook though like I’ve been I I’ve lacked confidence at times through my career for extended periods of times or short periods of times and it’s fleeting it comes and goes the best players in the world can kind of flip it faster than you know the average player that can sit in there a little longer and dwell and F it’s harder to find a way to get out of it um but I I I think there’s something up with their little mo it’s like a Mojo thing right now it’s like deer in a headlights thing and we see teams go through this and I don’t know it doesn’t look good for me and and I you know to who’s playing best merals and boys I would say de Brusque looks like he’s a guy that was like trade trade guy like trade him trade him trade him to me de Brusque has the most jump he’s more the most involved he’s on pucks he wins battles he creates and is all over the place and he can kind of do it all too he’s physical he’s good Around the Net he makes things happen but he’s the best player in the last few games that I’ve seen and he’s been good in this series in its totality so far so um those other guys and I think Monty’s Dart to PO to Pasta like we need more is is a nice way of saying it in the media and I imagine it’s probably different behind closed doors it’s like the [ __ ] up that’s what it is proba tried everything else and this is the last like all right I got to try to take him in media now he’s got to try everything this is it calling all cars that’s the last move usually that’s the last move when because you’re gonna get asked about it and he did of course but coaches will you know design an answer around pushing it down the road when you need it but obviously it’s going to game seven now and he laid down the gauntlet on them in the media that’s all always the coach’s move that’s how a coach gets guys ready if he really has to you use the med when you have to and Monty did last night I thought uh boss had a really good tweet kind of just about the Bruins whole situation he said the Bruins have four bottom six centers and no offensive Dynamic D good for their roles but not for generating offense zaka 18 playoff game zero goals Coyle no goals in this series uh five in his last 31 anything can happen in one game but over the Long Haul against good teams Boston is dependent on 63 who turns 36 in8 days and 88 and if they get a point like they did in the first four tomorrow they’ll probably win if they don’t they probably won’t and I it’s as simple as that Marian and and poso come to play they’re on the score sheet I think the bees wins win this game if not I don’t think they do I agree with them 100% like I was watching last night and like the mobility of their they’re all just the same guy you know what I mean on the back end like makoy obviously a little more involved all over Lindholm was skating back for a puck last night it looked like he was wearing like three knee braces on his knees he could even barely bend his knees I was like what’s going on what that doesn’t look like normal yeah I was like what’s going on with this guy so it’s like boys we got a we got a special guest got we got a special guest let’s bring him in to give us his predictions let’s go great introduction by the way Posh intro there he is Oz o is it o right o it’s a weird Israeli name man you got to blame my parents it looks like o it should be a yeah o Pearlman The Mentalist we’ve seen your work all over the place amazing mindblowing stuff that you’ve performed live on on you know interviews like this over the computers or online um and you work with you know Fortune 500 companies all the way you know to sports teams um and amazing Welcome to our show we’re so pumped to have you because you made huge headlines o with your big Leafs thing right now and so that’s rid in the wave I said it to Carlo at 31 I texted him I went on his show he goes what do you think I said the leaves are going to win this thing they’re coming back all the way every single game I told him last night was bananas because I told him I think you should read exactly what I wrote him was I go the least are going to run away with it the whole game possibly a shut out and point with one second left I winked to him and I said so close it’s what I wrote to him and then they scored at 0.1 seconds he literally I think is throwing holy water at at Effigies of me because it’s it got scary I’m like he man I’m not a psychic I don’t know the future I’m just kind of watching the game and thinking this is what’s going to happen you feel The Vibes you just feel The Vibes you’re a Vibes guy probably and you Vibes I think this is going to be an insane game seven I think this is going to be the game of the series I think Toronto is gon to be chasing the Bruins the entire time um they’re GNA be coming from behind I would love to see this going into OT like a high-scoring two2 or three3 game one you talk about for years um but it’s going to be a high-scoring game I don’t see this being a one zero snoozefest don’t do this to me o don’t do that to me Mark that down clip that already that is already won in books uh Carlo did post your little chain text thread I read it this morning pretty amazing stuff just to see it in kind of timestamped when you were sending it and everything this is before the game started this is all you got to understand there’s no trick here this is he was putting on blast I told him man people get mad because they bet on what I tell and I have good statistically I’ve done very well but I’m not psychic uh if you want to bet on this do it at your own discretion um I think I’m going to be right but we’ll see uh if I could could you could you just tell us you’re not a psych so tell us a little bit about this kind of operation that you that you perform and what you would do and where that lies I guess in the like was it magic Community is that where it kind of lies in entertainment obviously but I gotta give you guys a good story that intersects with NHL hockey you ready I grew up hockeytown USA in in Michigan Detroit during the 90s um and when I was like a 13-year-old little twerp uh I started doing magic tricks at restaurants that was my side hustle uh and I went and worked at this one restaurant half a mile from my house and I kid you not on the second night I worked there some woman took my business card she called me up and they were opening up a chain of these National Tire and Battery stores and I did three of these openings and you are not going to believe the crew that was at these Nick Lidstrom Paul uh Paul coffee Dino cicerelli Steve Eiserman Sergey federov like I met literally all future Hall of Famer Stanley Cup champions got my photos taken with in the paper Detroit Free Press I’m like 4 foot nothing and uh this launched me so that was my come up had a lot of Detroit Red Wings love right thereal great hockey background local in Detroit amazing hockey Town what a spot yep and so you know that rewind 28 years ago that’s when I was doing that and a lot has happened since but yeah my background is as a magician which you think of like tricks you know and then now what I do I don’t really do any magic tricks I do what’s called mentalism so it’s magic of the mind I now know how people think uh and I kind of exploit those tactics to seem to read their minds know what they’re going to do seemingly predict the future what I’m really predicting is human behavior I don’t know the lottery numbers but I can tell how people will behave yeah I’ve been I’ve been kind of worried all day everything I’ve been going to do I’m like is he watching me does he got inside here is like did he call my wife is she G no it’s crazy he just called his wife are you talking to my wife what’s going on oh yeah I don’t even know if is Mentalist or anything but I have this Detroit Red Wings t-shirt obviously I haven’t got to wear it since the playoffs they didn’t make the playoffs so I went and I went running actually today in my Red Wings t-shirt so there’s a little something already starting some good vibes for us I like amazing stuff you know let’s do something fun Colby you want to get in on this Colby I would love I I I can’t believe I’m doing this this is amazing so hear me out okay we think back and NHL playoffs I think you know regular season’s fun but it doesn’t have that level of Gravitas right where every game everything counts these guys put their whole life on the line for this season to try to hold up that Stanley Cup with so few get to do I want you to imagine that Colby you got a book in your hands with every year starting with last year Bam Bam Bam until your memory ceases and even if you want to go back before then and you’re flipping through the pages of past Stanley Cup finals can you visualize yourself doing this yes okay and you go back and you stop okay and you’re going to relive this a Stanley Cup that for whatever reason maybe it was epic maybe it was your team maybe it was whatever I don’t know what made you pick this in the moment but you’re back in time to a specific Stanley Cup finals that you can clearly visualize can you see it right now yes it’s a it’s a great story too why no no no don’t give Clues no clues but straight up man everyone watching this everyone watching this you know what they’re saying they’re like this is set up this is fake this guy told on your life did I tell you which one to pick on my life did not tell me anything okay now let’s now watch because I told you I’m not psychic everyone that’s going to bet on this goes this guy knows I can read people so Colby I know okay try not to react but think to yourself if this finals finished in four games five games don’t say what if I don’t know what if I don’t know can I look it up can I look it up quick look it up but look it up man make sure I can’t see what you’re looking up or anything I want you to look this up on your own this guy just cleared his browser history did you see that yes delete all memory and cookies and everything yes yes everything okay well you are on bus’s computer you I would delete that before hear me out Matt Matt hear me out just the fact that he didn’t know what it ended is telling right because now now you think to yourself man if this was like a four game sweep would you have no now I think this is okay now you thought of this earlier and now invariably not only did you think of a playoff but you’re G probably think of a player uh did you find out yet or no um no hold on hold on give me a keep talking to Matt okay Matt I used to be I used to be a magician myself I have probably five or six card tricks I used to have a a floating Pencil Trick back in the day we used to do all this kind of stuff in the locker room dude bust that out you’re my opener let’s get on the road I got it I got it okay okay look at me see I can’t guess it until you know it Colby look up this way I think four games five games six games seven games all right you know what you saw you saw where he got attentive do you see that where the focus it wasn’t four it wasn’t seven if it was a four game sweep my man would have known if it was seven game Battle Royale like we’re gonna have you know between Boston and Maple Leafs so it tells me it’s five or six my money says it it was six games wasn’t it was it six games guys guys you’re blown away but it was one out of three out of four but now here’s where gets crazy now think of that think of that playoffs think of that final it’s six games um and and and I want you to narrow down and it might have been a random player it might have been anybody but can you visualize in your mind the face of one of those players that was either decisive or interesting or random it’s up to you who you picked can you see that person in your mind right now yeah yeah it’s [ __ ] up my heart’s beating so fast right now Colby again swear on your life I have not told you which playoff which final which player this is all anything you want to think of Yep this is all me here’s what I think I think you wanted this game this is a game that went down to the wire game six overtime overtime third overtime I’m gonna go with my money my money says Dallas Stars beat the Buffalo Sabers you’re thinking a golden Brett Hall scoring the third OT goal am I right not even lying you’re 100% right which is C no way wrote it down while I looked it up can I can I show my paper I don’t show them I don’t I wrote it down when I looked it up I wrote down Dallas Buffalo and I didn’t know games I put games call Triple OT goal we all remember that preschool the massive goal against the Sabers I was in a backyard school party I was uh you know this is 99 I was in 11th grade I graduated in in 2000 and we weren’t allowed to go in the person’s house this is why I remember it so much because I’m a hockey nerd but that one stands out to me cuz I was in the backyard watching through a window with the TV on and the game on in the house cuz we weren’t allowed in and I saw that goal happen I saw everything happen that is [ __ ] up that you just did that and really on nothing that is [Laughter] wild I swear to God that’s that is insane I think I don’t I can’t handle this I have chills going how you did that so quickly do I look that easy oh God what else do he find out about me Matt merley yes you have played hockey I’ve got Wikipedia I can look it up you’ve been all over the world brother give us a quick rundown give me a 10-c like places you played highlights a career give us some of the places you played because you’ve been Global yeah seven years here wilberry Pittsburgh Albany San Antonio then I went to Russia Switzerland Sweden Croatia AA ended up in Japan and South Korea I think where has this guy not been is the better question yes it would have been easier that way favorite favorite one of my favorite sports movies Jerry Maguire baby show me the money do you have your wallet near you me no I no I don’t have yeah and I have no money no money it’s like that’s I went everywhere you know do you have do you have a pen or a marker anything around there yep yeah I got a marker you know what do me a favor get your hand okay and I want you to imagine you just named off like 14 different places I was counting them I noticed everything places you’ve been what team do you root for by the way in the NHL NHL uh I’d say Colorado I got a lot of teams I’m like Biz Colorado for this playoff though all right well yeah all right that’s a good one but you know what forget I was gonna make it which if your team gets the end we have a big party you know what think of you take in your hand and M you spin a globe you spin a globe you don’t know where it’s going to land brother just spin random and then you slowly put your finger on one spot and you know what happens when you look at this place you look up and you go God I never been there and then it’s like weird fate where you go I not only want to go there this is the number one place in the world I would love to go it’s like Destiny came to you in this glob can you picture yourself going to this place right now yep take your hand and off camera so I can’t see it WR down this specific place on your hand make sure there’s nobody behind nobody could see this this is [ __ ] up I still can’t believe my thing because people in the some people are saying it’s SC this is not 100% I don’t even know this oh did did did did Colby saying it was a great story is that what helped you with the how many other Playoff finals were great stories get you’re right the thing that got me was he was like oh it’s not seven or five do you see that one look on his face I don’t know what I look like I don’t what happened but for you when you said that I’m like oh my God what is going I didn’t even know what it was I had to look up how many games it ended in I didn’t even remember that you’re right wing I connected the dots Bret Hull right wi there you could have thought of anybody you could thought of a goalie Matt merley yeah a moment ago you imagined a globe in your hand you spun it you could have stopped and pointed anywhere folks can’t be scripted cuz how could I know something you didn’t even know you told me the places you played and you know what they all have in comment they’re all cold I don’t think you’re going somewhere cold brother I think you’re going somewhere warm I think you’re sitting on a beach I think you like good food you like good weather and you’re very specific I don’t think it’s not a country look down at your hand one more time and imagine that you look in your hand and you look up at me ready look at me and his lips starts with an MOS doesn’t it it says MOS [ __ ] way yes oh my God he had the M thing Ms he do that me andos oh my God that is sick oh you a sick Bast what the [ __ ] all right gang if if the Leafs win it see next this in this playoffs I don’t know man I’ve been looking at the bracket and it could be a good one uh I mean Florida take down Florida will the uh will the 57-year draw end this year drought end this year 1967 now that I don’t know that’s a tough that’s there’s a lot of steps between there but I think they’re gonna beat Boston for sure wow wow Mark that down these are amazing I have uh goose bumps all over my heart was beating I feel my hand shaking after you did that I don’t know why I don’t know if that’s a normal reaction normal it’s just it’s just like mindboggling almost about what just happened I felt tears come into my eyes eyes it was so strange of a feeling um you besides this is interest besides really might have peed a little bit that’s how good he’s still in shock iock he’s still in shock is there any more predictions that you would have or do you want are you gonna wait till maybe the second round to narrow it down or think do we have anything else from you at all for for any of these games tonight game sixes tonight interesting match leavs on this one buddy uh I’ve been focusing some of my attention on NBA what made you what made you go Maple Leafs what’s what what made you just because you went on with Carlo or you you you were drawn to that and kind of like the the the the the um they haven’t won the cup the longest of any Pro Sport there all this attention around them like it’s just got some history with the team too so I I did uh for for Larry tanal for the owner I did something great guy great guy great guy did something for the Raptors and uh you you should ask them the mlsc organization is I I do like a trick in the show and at the end of the show I did and I did this for them and the Leafs so you know you might think I Pand her and just tell every team they’re going to win you know it’s like telling every girl take her to the prom I told the Raptors at the start of the year I said frame this keep this you’re going to win the championship this year and this was at the start of the season they hadn’t played a game and it was written down and everything and they took it and they go yeah yeah we’ll see and they won the championship that year they brought me back the next year and then they said well are the Leafs GNA win I go no they go are the Raptors gonna win I said no so I you know wasn’t just like kind of fluffing them I told them the truth and I nailed it that year I was spot on so I’ve been a good luck charm for quite a few of these teams um and so I I’ve performed for the Leafs before uh and I enjoyed it it was a great time let me let me ask you while Merles still changing his diaper over there what’s your favorite one that you’ve done I saw you did in in like a random awesome one it was it was for a football team I I I don’t remember the team it was it was amazing and you threw a ball to the guy he caught it there was some crazy story in there what’s your favorite one that you had for best reaction or group of people you were with oh I mean I’ll give I’ll give you a quick two of them I went to the University of Michigan that’s my alma moer so I went back there this year and again good luck charm dude they went they went 15-0 National Champion so again you know telling all Michigan man real Michigan man you don’t understand how many teams have seen this and all the teams keep calling because they’re like get him in to freak us out and we want to win a championship I can’t guarantee it but I’ve been good luck so I did that for it was very um how do I describe it like what a moment to be back at my school performing for the team they end up winning and the trick I did played on the Jumbotron before the game started at the national championship so that was mind-blowing and the one you talked about with Joe burrow for the Cincinnati Bengals that’s what it was yeah they released this a day after he signed the biggest contract in football history $275 million and so the funniest part of the comments where everyone goes yo dude it’s set up it’s staged and I just wrote I go bro I wish I had enough money to pay this guy off you guys know this is real that we didn’t I didn’t tell you what to do you could have done anything but Joe burrow got 275 million bucks bro I don’t have that much cash he does what he wants um and so it was it was amazing for that to work out so this this was amazing we don’t want to take up too much more of your time I if you haven’t seen some of that stuff go on YouTube YouTube or wherever you can find Clips videos uh go to uh Oz’s website Oz Pearlman The Mentalist The

gentlemen thanks guys wow that there he goes down yeah I want to double down like the chat keeps saying like that was stage that was set up like in no way shape or form on my mom on my everything that was not staged in any way shape or form that was Madness I want to say this so I I put on the group chat on I think Tuesday or something I was at TNT I got asked if I could work Friday tonight which is why I’m back down here in Atlanta so I said hey the Friday show might be messed up due to my travel we’re going to have to bump it maybe to 1:00 um I think it was late last night or early this morning G reached out to us and said hey hey do you guys want to have on Oz The Mentalist at 215 I said yeah okay that that sounds good but like we’re doing a show from 1 to probably 2 o’clock so that won’t work unless we can bump it which I’ll probably be late because of my flight I didn’t get to the hotel till like you know 20 after one so it just worked out that we bumped it to two and then it worked out that we could flip you know get them on the show and and that’s how it happened d i I had you pegged for um the first Penguins one I was like oh Army’s going to just pick the Penguins Red Wings the one he got tra like like flurry making that like or the one when they won the save something like that there for the the 15 the you know the back to back cups for the Penguins yeah I was there working and I was along for the ride I did the finals on radio and everything so yeah maybe that but if you know me enough which he doesn’t I’m a Hu I’m a Montreal K I grew up a Habs fan as a kid and Habs won the cup in 93 for me that’s like one of my best memory Stanley Cup memories for whatever reason though out of nowhere that memory of of watching Stanley Cups popped into my head because it was just so different that I was standing in the backyard at a high school party watching through a window of some random person’s house on the TV I I just don’t get how he connected all the dots I didn’t even know what game it ended in I knew it was an OT goal actually when I looked up up that it was game seven I or game six I saw that it was Triple overtime I didn’t even remember that it was Triple overtime I knew it was overtime that is [ __ ] insane voice Merles did you debate writing uh another place other than mikinos yeah what the hell was no I just I’ve always wanted to go there it’s the one place I’ve Been Everywhere this is crazy like before like before last year was Dublin I finally crossed Dublin off but it’s like I I’m never you don’t want to go to Greece during hockey season so all those breaks I had in Europe you never go to like a beach it’s not warm enough I’ve been waiting to go there in the summer but it just has never worked out it it’s wild but then I didn’t it’s even funnier with this whole M Merl’s thing which was just hilarious that was the thing too like how that tied in he’s like canos I was like holy holy [ __ ] I think that was the craziest part of all this I think no question no we I’ve never I’ve never told anybody I want to go to Greece I don’t think I’ve never heard you talk about Buffalo no go if anything I should have been the Buffalo no go yeah so that’s crazy wow I’m usually a skeptic of stuff like I said I do know the magic trick so I usually can tryig beening magic tricks for I kind of know how some stuff works but that is just okay Merles you got to hit him up for that uh for the hes pick too Derby yeah Derby pick yeah you got to hit him up for that that’ be huge for the chat chat loves that for all our our viewers and listeners out there thank you I hope you guys were as impressed as we were was literally shocked the M thing it was a clincher with the merals thing the humming I didn’t I didn’t even hear anything he said after that I was just like you you had a weird somebody put in the chat I saw Merl’s shook I saw someone say that I had like I was like literally like my heart was beating so fast once he did that I I I literally couldn’t believe it um I Googled it I wrote it down exactly the answers here and he said it and that was it that’s that’s I feel like the only explanation would be that he a hacker like the only thing he can do is like he’s coming on with Colby and Merl today he hacked your computers he saw your Google Searcher she that’s the only thing I could possibly think of Earl’s Oz the hacker yeah yeah Oz the hacker got us all he’s amazing he’s amazing what a great personality and entertainment factor in him he could probably just sit on here and dominate all by himself amazing getting a on G that was mind-blowing first thing I thought of when that happened man I hope my mom’s watching my mom I’ve always been obsessed with I’ve been obsessed with magic I love it I went to a Vegas uh in Vegas one time I went to a magic show I don’t know if I ever told you this story it was for the brookheimer week and I made the decision like oh I’m gonna go out a night early by myself get rid of like kind of the jet lag and you know and I’ll I’ll just be by myself I’ll go to a magic show because we never go to shows when we’re out there on boys trips so I fly out there I go to this mag show I bought front row I said I’m gonna figure out every like I’m going to know I know a magician I know this stuff I sat right there I couldn’t see a thing it was Lance Burton it was amazing go what do you think I do after the show back to the blackjack tables lost lost all my money I drank like 15 Coronas woke up in the morning hung over like puking in my shower to the start of the brookheimer tournament like migs and connley are down Lobby hey buddy we’re here let’s get it going I’m like no I’m hurting hurting solo Mission Gong Show what what magic tricks can you docks he’s a card guy a lot of card tricks yeah a lot of card tricks I I used to have a floating Pencil Trick I used to bring around with me couple other little things I was I with you did you I remember back in the day in Wilks we were in I think San Antonio and it wasn’t the San Antonio River Rock stories we’re used to telling but I think we beetled off the path and went to a magic shop there you were I think you were with me and I think you were all about it and then you had all these like things on the on the on the plane and the bus you were doing for the boys but forever MLS has been a magic guy G forever I love it he give him a deck of cards you just gets going he just starts going like gets all cocky gets like hey a card pick a card this your guy you start going Bo boob yeah BR why don’t why don’t you use your magic and uh give us some picks how about that all right all right well talking about Vegas Vegas Dallas is the late game but you know all eyes are going to be on that first one Vancouver Nashville oh man I mean just with the goalie the goalie match up here at home I have to be on Nashville money line minus 130 you get you like Soros look at that nice lid there though it’s in business room here I saw saw it I’m like I’m gonna use that as a prop wow so you’re on the Canucks I like the Canucks hey all right all right to get it going all right I’m gonna tell you I got I got a few picks for this game couple Canucks picks so first I got Nashville moneyline minus 130 I have nist I’m taking nikist to score a goal 235 and I’m going to give you a little backstory on that because there was a horse called Nik Fist and it won the Kentucky Derby a few years back our boy sweet Lou gave us the pick and it won a bunch it won us all a ton of money so it’s Kentucky Derby weekend he’s playing he’s on the top line I’ll go plus 235 there the other one Peter malar we did this last week Peter Mal sponsors the show we take Elias Peterson to get a point so p over half a point minus 135 and a new one Peter malar sounds like a lot like Miller JT Miller over two and a half shots minus 125 wow I love all the tie-ins all of it patteron is getting uh destroyed right now a little bit for his play a point for him okay I like that Miller put on uh Sheila’s um um brutal shirt that he had it would look like it was crazy crazy shirt and practice the other day they’re loose they’re feeling it they’re loose they’re okay this Series has been strange somehow Vancouver was up 3 to one now it’s 3-2 we’ll see what happens tonight but it’s it might be shaping up for as a really good series right now with with both these teams so I think Vancouver’s starting to look more comfortable starting to you know look more like themselves it’s taking them a while here they’re still like uh you know have moments through games where they’re battling uh I I still stand behind this too they should have challenged that uh yos goal the power play goal that made a 1-1 uh at the time maybe not they’re thinking okay we’re in this game we’re not going to give them another chance on the power play we don’t want to screw it up maybe it’s 5050 I look at it I think you should have okay there it is so we’ll see what happens tonight that’s huge those are those are murs’s picks for that game uh unbelievable um game sixes we thought all these series everyone’s going oh they’re all over so fast and we might be headed to potentially a bunch of game sevens here as the Leafs pushed it to game seven last night anything else Merles yeah so you want to move on to the Vegas Vegas Dallas out in the desert I mean Vegas has look pathetic they looked awful the other night they all look out of shape which makes sense because none of them played any games the last month or two depending on which guy it was they look brutal uh I haven’t got word yet on which goalie’s playing um I don’t really matter I think it’s going overtime I haven’t done a merly special draw all year in the playoffs this is my game I’m going Vegas Dallas on the draw plus 310 we’re going to get some high drama we’re going to have to be up late this is it this is the draw tonight and I don’t know who’s gonna win I just saw in the chat Peter dor for Peter milar so maybe Dallas but I like that I’m sticking in the middle draw I still kind of believe in my Vegas if they can get it like they they wake up here I still kind of believe Hill n they’re putting in the chat Judy Judy Judy I don’t mind that I don’t mind that he he didn’t look great the other night either they pucks just like hit him and go everywhere dude how about my pick Dallas Dallas Dallas 99 Cup champs here we go good angle there good angle there signs looking at signs but signs those are your picks there they are they’re they’re right there I got a couple player ones couple player props for the late game Petro Angelo kind of like Peter everybody’s been all over him me included looks like he had cement in his boots last night last game bad terrible penalty so you know a veteran a leader a champion like him he’s gonna get a point tonight he’s gonna get something plus 154 for a goal or assist I’m I’m I’m taking that one on the other side I gotta have somebody in Dallas who’s the best golfer we always talk about we always hear about the best golfer Peter marar is a golf company heas P Joe pavelski Joe pavelski get a point is minus 110 this guy I know he hasn’t been great this series but he is just a gamer game six on the road Who you gonna go to your old veteran like that so pavelski over half a point that’s the action for tonight lot of action two great games Friday night I’ll be on both of them in studio with the boys at at TNT it’ll be on TNT and True TV you can check it out tonight too follow along with us all night long I think we got to get into Studio around 5:00 uh get ready to roll get ready to dance for our dinner tonight in front of uh everybody all the people out there we love you people too bad there wasn’t a chat on TNT show I’d be I’d be loving that those are some great picks old veteran guys you went with the old goats in that game um and I want to I want to bring up just some news before we get to the weekend stuff uh Jack Adams finalist merals were name today um Andrew brunett Rick toet and Rick bonis all three um have been selected to be finalists for this award all three great years all all three deserving guys um so really it’s it’s pick your poison what they did with their teams this year and and I know that we look at playoff performances and Rick bonus is probably licking his wounds back home at his house right now with Winnipeg for who for me was one of the more disappointing performances in the playoffs um um is up for coach of the year I like what Rick bonis did this year though their team was right there like all year long to of their division battling it out with those teams that were in that division too which was a juggernaut um and then laid an egg in the playoffs but congrats to those Carberry though that that seemed kind of crazy I would have put him in there I would have put Carberry in there I mean I would have had Carberry and torz over bonus I know torch didn’t make the playoffs but still I think he he was would doc all year I would give talk I would give bonus and I would give carbury that would that’s what I would have done I feel like talk came out of the gates hot like everybody was like all talk it’s got to be talk and I I I almost made a huge bet on him and I I’m really regretting it because I think it is his but when you look at him more now say now you look back Carberry the players he had and what he did yeah look at all the players tet has look at his numbers course they should have been good they got they had pson they got JT Miller they got Hughes like they should be good but half of us didn’t even predict the Vancouver Canucks to make the playoffs this year like no one no one thought Canucks would be this Elite as Elite as they are you know what I mean yeah that’s the thing is like they’re like went to like first place right away and like yeah they didn’t just sneak into the playoffs but when you do look at the rosters what that what Philly did and what Carberry did is different than what bonus and taka did is what I was trying to say it’s like they have real players I on the coach’s topic I’d like to ask you guys real quick and I know this wasn’t in the outline or anything but some changes made in Pittsburgh today around the coach staff lot of people saying Mike Sullivan wasn’t too happy with the the changes that were made of of firing his assistant coach he could be next now if he gets a better job offer what are you hearing around Mike Sullivan in the Penguins Army and I know Merles you predicted at the beginning of the year that he’d be out of here yeah if they didn’t have a good start I thought he was in trouble but they ended up they ended up doing all right yeah you said what was the date you said by December if they’re not if their record isn’t blah blah blah that’s what you said you gave like a record and then you said if if it’s not this by December I could see him being fired is what is what was your prediction but that’s what they just don’t have time they don’t have time to like wait around it’s yeah yeah and and you know maybe if they made a change they would have got the two or three more points my big question about it and probably everyone’s is who’s a Pittsburgh fan or watch them is like why were they significantly different team at the end of the year in the last three weeks and that what they were all season long like where was that why wasn’t that in there where what was missing how come it just the the it like the switch flipped how does that happen um another thing is too is is Tod reiran was let go and I I imagine you know as a coaching staff Sully doesn’t want his guys to get fired so I’m sure he was fighting for him a little bit obviously but when you have a power play perform like it did all year long someone’s someone’s got to pay the piper in this business and when you look at the numbers where they sat in the power playay what were they what they finish in the league 30th I think they were like 30th yeah so it’s crazy gee get on second to last third to last yeah if not last like it was just not a good power play all year long and ultimately when you look at how many points they missed by and how many points a power play can gain third to last they were third to last behind Philadelphia and Columbus yeah yep and and and you look at the points and how many games you lost because your power play was not anything near what it should be and looking at the power play even makes your head explode even more so I think that’s what happened right there with that one it’s just it’s pretty much they’re saying I guess it’s whoever ran the power play it’s a fireable offense what happened this year not making the playoffs and being that close and not getting in and uh good guy I I chatted with him around there great guy he’s been a head coach in Washington he’s been in Pitts Pittsburgh a couple times assistant coach in Washington great guy just this was a year from Hell from what he was running and didn’t work do you think that clip of him with the empty board had a thing to do it yeah it didn’t help also what do you do you think there’s ever the chance that if the Leafs do lose tomorrow Keith gets fired and ends up in Pittsburgh with dubis and they do this whole I mean it makes so much sense it kind of does and maybe he’s in there at a at an assistance role working with Sully I don’t know if he would do that or what would happen but um yeah that’s crazy I think Sully had a contract that he Reed um last year so I think he’s still got two two I think he’s up when those guys’ contracts are up or maybe it’s SIDS I think he’s got like two more years left on his contract too as as a coach so uh interesting times man interesting times coach of the year the Jack Adams is out those three guys congrats congrats to all the other coaches um and good luck to Todd Reen on his on a job search now and then lots of coaches bouncing around all over the place this time of the year and I probably will’ll see more of it as we move along here m um I don’t know what else you want to get to before we get into the weekend you got anything else no I think uh everything’s been talked about I don’t think anybody’s talk we talked about the Oilers they’re moved on but that was obvious they look they look good they look they look good they look good who K who would you rank as your best teams right now best team like we like give me your talk Colorado Colorado I think has been awesome Florida uh Carolina Dallas have impressed me the most Edmonton under them I just I don’t know what about Rangers you don’t have the ranger we didn’t get to see enough like they played the capitals I just I can’t put much into that I feel like right the kings were a decent team kings were good like they they’d want to they were a solid team and Oilers just manhandled them Colorado manhandled the Jets who you included pick to win it like for me teams Florida demolished Tampa Bay like just Champions over there you know me those wins were just like they demolish these teams I think it’s Dallas and Vegas and then I think it’s a step down I would say Florida and Edmonton and and the reason and oh sorry I sorry Dallas right now for me they look like top to bottom seven game series like a battle like it’s it sucks like round like vers Colorado yeah like Colorado though is right there underneath them they don’t have I think comparatively like they have like the full depth Team Speed though like I don’t think Edmonton to my point what I’m trying to say though I think Edmonton’s below that yeah overall I agree like they’ve got the razzled Dazzle they got McDavid leyon there’s no question but I just think top to bottom those two teams with their speed their size their physicality and their depth scoring ability to hurt you are higher in my ranking like they’re tick higher so it’ll be interesting to see how it all comes down though but those are like kind of the top teams I’m looking at right now and a lot of people not looking at the rangers they sweepy sweepy and we haven’t seen much of them and I don’t think it was as big of a challenge at all against them and and so we’re kind of left here going okay what are the Rangers what are they going to actually be um yeah that’s how I feel it’s like ah they beat the capitals like what what was that I I just do we give our predictions do we did you do the predictions already for that series did you did you do that on on on yeah we got everybody but me you got me in there okayy you got Rangers in six yeah I do I do I think they can score more I think you know they’re goal tending and defense I think there’s I think there’s more there with the Rangers in that series Carolina it’s going to be hard they check like crazy they’re really good there’s no question um but if you look at them I just look at like game breaker ability and yes they got gensel and you know Jarvis is you know unbelievable right now for them um as far as production but I I look through that Rangers lineup and some of their guys get going and get hot like tro cheek’s leading the way right now but if if breadman breadman was sleeping in the first round if breadman gets rolling like production Wise It’s he’s game breaker status you know you got CER at the net you got you know Fox gets D you got all these guys so I I just think that’s my opinion six games Rangers I’m going to warn you sorry to tell you this but of all of our crew you and the other two people that picked the Rangers are Biz and wit and you just know how that usually ends yeah oh yeah I got kanes and six G and posha have kanes and six posha is the guy that’s he’s leading the way right now he’s four and0 in the clubhouse so he’s five and0 now in the chat Shan dor says Kane’s depth is insane their depth is insane they’re they’re good they’re a good team right through I I just think some of these other teams depth players are better way better look look at Dallas look at look at Colorado way better but in just dealing with the Rangers straight up um I think their depth is just is is good too I think their depth is fine and doing their job and being able to perform and um you know at the end of it we’ll see Libby thinks Kane’s in seven Libby Libby’s always on hello Libby thank you yeah here yeah yeah the chck maybe help me with this I caught a little tip from my buddy Danny Stewart he’s a Troy kid that moved down to Carolina huge Rangers jock sniffer and he told me that when the Rangers play Down In Carolina it’s like there’s so many transplants that it’s almost a half and half and if you look back they played a couple years ago and he was like you remember they were yelling go Rangers go and eigor and he goes it’s not going to be as much of a home ICE as it is versus any other team except the Rangers so that’s something to think about as well I agree I think that’s true I think that’s true in those areas a lot of people go down there to work and get sent down there and I imagine that’s Big Time true uh chatl don’t forget to get think of your chatl picks if you’re thinking A or B it’s the home teams tonight versus that’s the winners of the home teams and then the visitors the visitors are are another one uh A and B A is home B is away plus 245 we’ll show it to you one more time right there and we’ll give it to you in a little bit let’s get into the weekend here myrr let’s get into your picks here I got some picks here one game game seven baby game seven EBR rule number three all game Sev you always take the under you saw me do it in Europe last week I hit a couple easy unders in the game seven so under five and a half it’s at minus 125 right now that you see the game last night it’s gonna only get tighter right the only thing you got to worry about if the the team does get up a couple the goalie polls like you saw in Tampa but I just I can’t see these teams playing totally different than last night I was shock talk when I went on DraftKings today and it was five and a half so I’m going to be all over that one I’ll probably tweet out some player props when we get closer to it um they’re not up there yet as much so there’s a couple things up there I gotta wait you got to see if Matthews is gonna play and see what the lines are going to be so I’m I’m gonna hold off on those kind of stuff later hey someone in the chat just said I don’t know if you remember sorry to cut you off someone in the chat just said Oz The Mentalist said that that game’s going to be high scoring he thinks oh did he did he say that I think he said that I think that’s right I I didn’t I’m telling you my my brain broke when he predicted that and I couldn’t listen I said me vers o yeah you versus The Mentalist me vers o me vers O The Mentalist I love it he said over you got anything on a he thought overtime I thought he said overtime he said overtime too I don’t know did he say over and overtime Matt reer reer says 330 that’s what he’s Mr ice no this is uh yeah yeah three plus three equals oh speaking of Mr ice you got to go follow him this this is one like probably the best weekend to follow him when he’s with Dave at the Derby and Dave just like tortures him if he doesn’t give him winners but they already had a nice winner early in the morning they won like 20 grand on something but my Kentucky Derby pick to get it out there forever oh get it out there for good Forever Young Forever Young he’s 10 to one you

York all right so this is my rink my dad actually designed and helped build this rink when he was working for the city of troit it’s been shut down for maybe 10 years they just got the money because the the the pipes on the bottom broke so they got to redo it so now this is all the Troy youth hockey people down there we’re going to get two ranks now Scott bassic there in the middle my my old RPI teammate there’s my dad young man right there look at that look at that brown station wagon I don’t one of those no those are sick y there’s my old man he he designed it all this is opening night this rank is phenomenal here I am getting some autog RS that’s Ken Hammond he played in the NHL he was on the 1985 RPI championship team see me there look at that guy man I wish I was that thin in there there it is RPI captain of that 85 team Mike sagore and Buddy Powers was a coach in the background there you go see that little logo on the side Capital District Islanders they were our AHL team they were they used it as their uh practice rank the New York Islanders used to have their training camps up here then my you see my dad’s team the uncle Sams there it is look how beautiful it is there wow so this thing was shut down we had no ice for years now like our beer league used to be there we got there I am me and my brother first guys ever to skate on that rink no way buddy this is awesome Yep that was the Nic aaker ice rink I’m sure tons of people talked about there we are stepping on I got an Ottawa 67s tank top and shorts on I was up at a tournament up there my brother’s got a legendary shirt on the Gretzky bige head shirt I would do anything to have one of those right now nicker is back they’re saying in the chat it’s back well County Troy New York City of Troy mayor Carmela manelo get in the rank back you’re called up to the show Troy youth hockey to the moon now let’s go that’s awesome yeah what an advantage now having a rink that’s rolling you said there’s two sheets in there now they added another sheet no because we had this other one at Freer Park so now we’ll have two to use that are right in the city so plenty of ice time for the beer leagues and for the kids yeah that’s awesome way to go enjoy it best game in the world best uh Community too once you get in there it’s awesome so um that’ll actually lead me into my show uh and I got to give it to bchi our boy bchi obviously he’s plugging away long hours um and it’s just a couple tweets he sent out about um and you should go check them out here’s one of them if you have time to read I want to read the other one off for you guys uh the best thing about this game it teaches us what we attempt to teach our kids courage selflessness work ethic family and the discipline to repeat all out efforts over and over and over again and the ability to adapt and actually more important more important than strength and smarts in fact adaptability is the perfect combination of strength and smarts he had that the first one and then this one I thought was were just super inspirational but our game why hockey player selfless because of the families uh many of these players had parents who woke up at 6:00 a tied their skates with numb hands and drove for hours and hours to hang out at a cold rank mom and dad were all in and they loved it and their kids saw that they loved which meant naturally that their parents love them and when someone is convinced they are loved they can move icebergs amazing um little tweets he sent out there he’s a thoughtful guy he loves the game uh we all love bchi obviously and uh uh he dominates with kobby Cohen on College hockey as well so he does so much even at that at that level and much more and Beyond so thank you bchi for those great tweets and those great reminders of why our game so great and where it starts really when you’re a kid and the love of it and the rink and the nicker Bacher rink uh what a segue by the way that was again not planned either my dad built that rank basically for me and my brother he manipulated the city oh yeah they we need a hockey rank down here built the whole rank he started the Uncle Sam’s high school team because my brother didn’t have our high school didn’t have a team so we made that team where anybody that didn’t have a high school could play on it and we went and played all over went to the states blah blah blah but there’s so many kids that came through that rank played in tournaments did I ever tell you the story real quickly when we beat Joe Thorton’s team Southwest Hawks I think I talked about somewhere this team was the best summer team ever assembled Joe thoron Brian Campbell names go on they didn’t lose a game they were like 50 and0 and we beat them in in Detroit Michigan in The Showdown in mtown so they were so mad they’re like 65 and one during the summer something that could be a lie it could have been 30 and one but they were so mad they drove all the way down from there to Troy to play our team in that rink and we dusted him again Uncle Sam’s hockey Uncle Sam’s hockey there it is and it’s back Conley myself we were we were we were the guys hey uh g g i don’t know if you seen the rundown I I had a double show today you want to come on I think you’re the perfect guy to give my double show uh and give a shout out one last kick at it can you see it there I don’t I don’t currently have it up right now okay there oh Jack Edwards let me say let me a you’re perfect this so Jack the the who has more fun than us crew Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley it’s been an absolute blast having Jack Edwards as uh the Bruins play-by-play announcer for those who don’t know uh Jack Edwards broadcasted his last game last night uh it sucks that the Bruins couldn’t give him a win to send him off and it sucks that he had to go out the way he did uh I don’t think this was Jack’s decision uh he he came into some speech uh I don’t want to say impediments but he came into a speech issue this past year um that’s that’s been really tough for Bruins fans and Jack made watching hockey and people a lot of people forget like there were some tough years for the Bruins before they signed to Dan Oar and Mark saard there were a lot of you know playoff list years and and I think uh Jack made up watching hockey fun during that time and I think just in general I mean Jack came in an 0809 but I think just during the times when it wasn’t Stanley Cup or bust every year Jack made watching hockey so fun and on the nights when they lost he he just always kept the energy so high and I there’s one I always think about and that was in 2008 2009 uh bees vers Dallas Stars and it was when Mark saard sha Avery Shan thoron it was just lme brawl after lme brawl and he just he he just made it so fun night in and night out to watch the Bruins and people always say like he’s the biggest Homer he’s the biggest Homer that’s what he he’s he’s on a regional Network yeah he’s a guy he’s the BR he supposed to be a homer and he just his crazy like Revolutionary War like syon like how he would compare hockey to like the Revolutionary War so seamlessly it was uh it it was awesome so uh we’ll miss you jack um I I hope they bring in Alex F next year I think Alex F is awesome Gary Thorne if you could somehow get him to come back and do hockey that would be incredible but yeah I’m kind of rambling here but uh Jack Edwards it was uh an both an honor and a pleasure to watch him and grow up with him I mean since for the past 20 years 19 years it’s all I’ve known is is Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley and Boston Bruins hockey so all the best to Jack his family and uh yeah hopefully hopefully the Bruins can make the right decision and bring in someone great to to replace a great one yeah people loved them people hated them no question um he was controversial at times and uh you know he had some things to say and he wasn’t afraid to say it and uh he had to eat it a few times with the Patty maroon thing over the last few years uh the kazari thing I was recently of calling him a coward um but but there’s no question his heart was uh all Boston Bruins uh hearing some great stories um uh from co-workers of his in the last few days about how how how he treats people and how he’s got people’s back how he’s been a team player for their Network there nessen uh in Boston for 19 years um so a voice like that on an original six team uh with a personality like that and the way he called games with that that passion and love for his Boston Bruins um congratulations great run and they don’t make him like Jack anymore if you think about it they don’t make him like that at all I don’t think they never really made him like Jack to be honest but yeah I just don’t think there’s that uh people aren’t willing to push the line like Jack like Jack has and and has done for the past 20 years so he’ll be very missed yeah and and so we’ll end on that bring in the arm dog you saw him at the FDNY game I can do it all I can do it all can do it all on the what was that other one with the cartoons was where multiverses multivers I got it all going on I do color Play Let’s Get Cruz Armstrong in the
