god I’ve never seen or been around track I had one of his sneakers when I was little he makes you look like a straight up [ __ ] like a little person and and imagine that dude’s dumper in front of the net it was just it I I just couldn’t believe seeing him standing there how little you looked oh yeah when he was screening lanquist too and the best part about it so we when we get um in studio with them they get the main room right so normally when we’re on on Wednesdays I think they have Tuesday Thursday shows so we never really cross over so they take over our room and we get pigeon tossed to

penguin suit and him scre dreaming it a guarantee it was just I mean you guys also buried him with Silly String right after he’s guaranteeing a win I was like I don’t even get the Silly String bit going on here but the least were losers from the start of that whole skit you guys did I didn’t Silly String him the rest of the guys did to shut him up about the Leafs because I Yap about him all the time but that’s something they do on their set but the fact that he gave it the guarantee and then that game happen with the drama on the bench after they get shellacked William neander coming back

the pink Whitney ad before we could no we’ll do it live just like this whole goddamn show just like the Oilers are alive just like the Oilers are winning close low-scoring playoff games finally just like I guaranteed they’d go back to Edmonton up 3-1 we’re not starting there though I have plenty to say had a spaces after the game last night that was very successful did about 12 minutes straight Merles and I made an enormous bet then he fell asleep I am just grinding I’m up every morning with the kids like M I’m on baby Duty waiting for my wife to pop and all I’m doing watching playoff hockey taking care of my kids and getting in battles on Twitter so I love it I live for it and playoff hockey is here so mer you fell asleep also uh Dave pornoy has taken over as Mr ice he also fell asleep during one of his over BS what the hell’s going on and where is Mr ice why isn’t he doing it he retired why’d he retired he had a retirement game and he lost that too so he shut it down until he said maybe the finals will pop his head up again so he’s just been getting slaughtered slaughtered Slaughter that sucks tough time of year pick over yeah big cat said he lost a luxury SUV on this guy the last month J Jesus how you been animals I’ve been I’ve been hitting it good I went six and one Friday Saturday 0 and5 pathetic but then bounced back again yesterday five- one until wit talked me into dry cidal shots in the late game and it was okay so you guys have been going hard on the shots Le lean has been Mer’s guy it’s Auto autoo riding your dog he leenan he’s a puck hound and he’s also a shot Hound now yeah avalanch so we had the DraftKings Merl’s minute yesterday and it was the easiest thing I ever came up with was the leanin they still didn’t change it from Two and a Half shots he had seven five four and last night he only got three but it got it done and he had the goal too so huge night from the Avalanche just like his Oilers are going my Avalanche are going I would love to wait the leinen talk and the and the and the Oilers talk because I I think after yesterday and it was right around dinner time it was putting the kids down we finally sat down to eat it’s the end of the Vancouver game I’m like Vancouver is going to lose this game what a miraculous comeback and Biz before I go to you I want to say one thing I haven’t had a ton of fun watching this series the end of that game was is it was electric it was Unreal the best part of the game was Taylor lean um chugging a beer and then his daughter chugging a water I don’t know if you guys saw that it was incredible but look at this look at this so he pours it over the head like a complete lunatic like is but the daughter I her name win or Winnie I’m not exactly sure look at this girl look at this girl and Bravo I mean she what she 5 years old 6 years old the crowd’s going nuts the game’s though pretty uneventful pretty low energy almost I feel uh I would say that Vancouver has had to adjust from being as aggressive as they were in the regular season and I think that I don’t know if talk mentioned in the press conference I know a couple of the guys had talked to him I don’t reach out to him during playoffs cuz he’s got enough on his plate but buddy they have three wins in the series all done by different goalies so all of a sudden demode goes down then they go to the Smith the Smith was incredible he was kicking as well as the team in game three I think that they’ matched block shots as well as saves I think they went with 31 block shots and 31 saves um a crazy end of the game as they were laying out and dismissed with making these saves but I guess he tweaked something and because Demco for sure is not coming back this series and maybe even not the next if they for him oh buddy they they’re a completely different team that’s their game breaker because they can open things up and then they get that big save and that’s right back to the other end kind of like we saw from Logan Thompson with with the Vegas golden knights right you’re getting that most nights and I’ve talked to Brian bue and I’m like hey like is he like really the real deal I asked them like halfway through the season because Demco had had obviously the hype from the past couple years but this year was really year where I think if he stayed healthy he ends up being the vzna winner right him him or or hellu so and he said he goes biz for how big he is and the way he’s able to move laterally he’s like the McDavid of goalies that’s how big of a freak physically he is so he goes down they gotta be uh safe with the the smith thing it’s a tweak right he could have played but that ice in Nashville is not the best it gets choppy during playoff time I’ve played there during play well I play but our team played I prame skate I did pregame skate and I got to practice there on the off days but lowc scoring uneventful hockey because of the humidity and just how the ice is that time of year I actually predicted it before game three I said I think this is going to be low scoring going there well I mean I guess 43 not very low scoring but going back to the game itself they had to be um safe with this and that’s why they put in this arter how do you put his how do you say his last name H yeah silos it’s it’s way different than you look at it there you go you got it so I think that that’s why it’s been un uneventful and lowest amount of shots in a game one in a in forever with 12 the game before and they really didn’t pepper in this game until around the three minute Mark left so overall incredible win I’ll throw it back over to you like what did you make of the rest of the two games so I I I want to get out out ahead of it I tweeted out like has a team ever had 12 shots in won a playoff game buddy a team had 10 the Pittsburgh Penguins against Nashville in game one of the Cup finals and beat him and I think that was 53 I think they had five goals on 10 shots or whatever it was and then ironically the Oilers end up getting 13 and get a win and funny enough I was like wow that’s kind of pathetic like the Vancouver Canucks win all because of the Smith but no they blocked a ton of shots and then after watching my team go through it after so yeah you see the you see the the breakdown right here and the hits and and all the block shots from games three to four but after seeing my team get a win with such few shots it’s almost even more exhilarating because you’re like oh my God we didn’t get any shots on net we blocked a million shots and we somehow got out of that game with a win it’s like wow we we shouldn’t have won that game and in the playoffs if you want to go on a run you got to have a couple different instances of winning games you got no business winning and that’s what I took away from game three it was the Smith standing on his head it was the team just stepping up blocking everything and then it was just some timely goal scor their power play has been real good that’s kind of what a lot of people say about the Oilers and the kxs they kind of live in live on their power play but you know what they got it done game four was a different story where I couldn’t believe when D Smith got hurt because Canucks fans it’s like this sucks you finally get Demco back he looks pretty good boom he’s done for possibly the playoffs you get to Smith unbelievable now he’s hurt so for them to get a third win with a third goali e that that’s depth that’s incredible good for them what I was a little rattled for for Canucks fans originally was I guess by the letter of the law the forsberg goal is not a kick in I don’t know I I I I look at that okay so when you talk about angling your skate and a Puck’s thrown into the crease and a guy just turns his blade a little bit say turns the toe of his stick or turns his heel and it goes in boom I’m down with that I know his skate stayed on the ice but it was somewhat of a motion towards the net I thought I guess he was just stopping yeah so yeah he he moves it forward but you see snow and in some cases you have to get to your outside edge and I didn’t think it was that bad I was uh I didn’t get to see many views of it they obviously they looked at it and didn’t want to challenge it was no that’s not that’s what’s crazy that’s not reviewable dude that’s not challengeable oh okay that’s what I couldn’t believe that’s what the broadcast said on TNT I don’t know who was doing that game but I was like oh they’re gonna challenge that and then the announcer is like you can’t challenge that and I think the league the league would have to maybe step in and do it but I was like wow that’s kind of all of a sudden it’s a goal Mike yo was flipping out and I was like they kind of got a beef there it just looked a little different than a lot of the ones you see of just a foot being angle if you could have challenged it and obviously a minor being the result if you’re wrong I probably wouldn’t have challenged it yeah be because then you’re 3-1 with a PO with a penalty kill coming up which the game before so there’s been a lot of great coaching instances in this series toet didn’t hit the panic button and challenge the other one with the Smith the other game because they gave up a goal late to bring it within one then they pulled the goalie again and on that second goal he interfered with his slide over so it could have easily been challenged where once again if you’re wrong they’re right back on the peep so uh I guess we can go to game four and the craziness was the last couple minutes and Liam McHugh pointed this out when the timeout was called and Nashville was was was huddling up I was shocked because all the Vancouver guys were just kind of skating around or just chilling out by the bench and talk didn’t say one word to them he didn’t have the board out drawn up a play for six on five and we’re kind of like what the what what the hell like wouldn’t you be drawing something up but those guys were prepared they knew exactly what they needed to do six on five they get the first one and then M that [ __ ] move and listen Merles I’m going to throw it over to you you were giving Quinn Hughes some [ __ ] based on your defenseman list and it wasn’t looking good for him and that narrative would have probably stuck but [ __ ] that Juke he made at the Blue Line who was the guy who went flying nist night oh the guy who scored the goal early in the game but man he Jukes him he makes a sick little backhand pass to the top of the diamond and then JT Miller man what else can you say about this guy I don’t care whatever posha wants to call him my apologies for saying it was you on the broadcast M calling him the power play Merchant who gives a [ __ ] the goal in in the game before with the no look pass and then three apples in game four oh my God look at that look at that a work of art unbelievable unbelievable I’ve had some tough still shots of myself that has more to come to that one that’s a man whose Devils suck who the Canucks are winning and JT Miller’s lighting it up he hates his life right now do we keep that up I think that posa’s nose might be worse than Army’s no and I I I don’t see that Army is straight up like east to west like McDavid buzzing through the I know but at least isn’t fat like that on the bottom and then he’s got the Drury curve on top I this would be like me talking about a dude’s ears right now [ __ ] Fair um now mer quickly before you go Quinn Quinn Hughes and honic they’d played the least amount of minutes of any of the D going into the third and then they rolled with them but I think they still only finished with like 21 minutes so after the ball at the Blue Line and that goal that he was it was just there were there’s definitely maybe an injury there maybe a little lack of confidence but Quinn Hughes after Merles brought up this entire ordeal of big defenseman being the Catalyst to Stanley Cup champions hasn’t looked like himself he really hasn’t yeah I know that the city of Vancouver is happy with me right now they’re they’re want to build a statue for me that’s how happy they are that Vancouver turned this around but if you listen to Game notes it was not about Quinn hughes’s Talent the kid’s amazing he’s awesome I know he’s a Norris Trophy winner but I just had the stats that they don’t win and I know that talk listened because he had them blocking shots Friday 30 Block shots we just saw the stats Sunday another what 28 29 block shots and that’s all I was saying if they want to win you gotta play Big you gotta block shots it’s not about the Dipsy Doodles anymore and and I I’ll put my hand up hand up they’re going to win the series I had Nashville hand up hand up actually uh Wayne texted me he said that they played your game notes video in the locker room they remember when they used to bring out the TV in uh in grade school you used to watch you oh yeah everyone’s pumped up they brought it out they put the VHS in and it was [ __ ] Matt merley chirping Quinn Hughes and there he was out there doing the Shakita hips Shakita Shakita Shakita he hey even Wayne said it on the broadcast he was talking how you got to have big D to win so if I’m on similar thought process as number 99 I’m okay um I think that the last two games alleviates a lot of stress for py I I’m not saying he was unbelievable still made a wait wait wait still made a few mental errors he hasn’t been as dominant but getting a few points man it just like helps with the confidence going back home they’re up 3-1 hey better than he was in the first couple games because he was you know what I’m saying but nothing close to what you’re gonna need if they move on and they want to be able to compete with Edmonton I’m sorry the the the two big dudes on Edmonton in the playoffs I’m not going to talk about the oil back to Vancouver what a what an unbelievable first four games for Connor Garland yeah a guy who’s who wasn’t exactly in a great spot he requested a trade at one point things were looking murky for him that dish to lyol behind the net on the backand and linol made the great pass over to besser to make it 3-2 when they originally pulled the goalie so lyol had some question marks after his regular season after the trade over from Calgary he’s turned it on Garland’s played phenomenal the whole time the third their their their depth players have been better than their big guys I think JT Miller’s been real good but besser for him to go out and get a hattrick dude 3-3 going into overtime he’s got all three and that that second effort dude on the tying goal to have that first chance and then it looked like it was dead it looked like Saros had him and he just kind of reaches back from the goal line unbelievable second effort there and no quit in Vancouver so Canucks fans have to be proud that was just a big ballsy win I mean they had no business like you could see them being like all right it’s 22 go we’re going home we’re in a good spot we gotta win two of the next three and two of them are in our building but also they didn’t give up knowing you got to fly back to Nashville though if you’re if you’re two2 you know you have to come back worse travel but it’s Buddy you mentioned that third line like ly Holm was injured after came over from the trade he wasn’t playing well so who knew how he was going to be in playoffs you mentioned Garland before the season like requesting the trade Dakota Joshua got called out in training camp by toet for maybe not coming in with that that dog mindset but that line has been the heartbeat of this team when they’ve needed him most and I got asked by Bob marjanovic uh he’s like a radio guy in in Canada he said what do you think the difference in the series will be I think it was going to be depth scoring because mck was double digits laferty was double digits Dakota Joshua was double digits hoglander was double digits so they had all these guys come out of their shell this year to provide that secondary scoring and to why they ended up having such a successful season in winning the Pacific Division so the fact that they’re stepping up now in the perfect time especially when a guy like py is not going the way that he’s going just huge for this [ __ ] group man I’m so fired up for them they deserved a bounce like last game based on the [ __ ] show they’ve been dealing with in net they deserve that yeah I agree speaking of the [ __ ] show in net um we have a little breaking news uh the 2024 vzna finalists have been announced uh Sergey bab rovski Thatcher Demco and Connor heluk oh my god heluk oh oh my God what’s the next series I think we can move on from Vancouver and Nashville see if Vancouver can close that one out but I think right now it’s just been a ballsy effort by that entire team did did I don’t think we mention the fact that could have ended the [ __ ] oh my God that’s why I hit I was going to bring that up like oh my God and the bench did you see the bench they’re all like hugging it’s night poor guy dude he he didn’t sleep a wink last night on his backand like not that far from the net right as he released it the crowd The View I saw the camera kind of like looking at him from the far right corner and The Crowd Goes Nuts as it goes off his stick and then it’s just there was one guy in the bench who who stayed with his arms up I don’t think he knew I don’t think he watched I don’t know who it was there’s a clip of the bench I don’t know if you could find it and he’s looking around like and everyone’s like dude put your leg put your arms down Bud he missed oh God hey imagine you had the puck line for Nashville oh no I could I could never I could never imagine that in a million years puckline Jesus got had first period second period third period money line in game three I was like all right I’ll ride with them waxings yeah that was tough I mean you know I do have both like obviously 17 teams I do have two a big future on Vancouver so I mean it’s not you know but yeah it was tough tough to lose that one [ __ ] oh God sciss man what was weird Biz about the game was um the Smith was actually the ebug for the game Sunday like that’s weird because you know he couldn’t play while he was hurt so they had you know the silo so obious say his name started then another backup and he was actually the ebug so he wasn’t healthy enough to start the game but if they went through two other goalies he’d be healthy enough to play kind of weird for the playoffs right yeah no I mean but but once again they had to be conservative about the situation because buddy if they lose Demco and to Smith that arst kid he had no playoff experience coming in like you don’t know what you’re getting like you could be getting a Louie de Ming and we’ve actually seen this with the Pittsburgh Penguins when they were down to their third string spicy pork and broccoli and nothing against Louie de Ming he had a great NHL career I think he’s now playing in the AHL or was up and down all season but that whole series turned when they had to go to their three String Goalie like wasn’t Pittsburgh up 3-1 in that Series against the Rangers I think they had a strangle hold on it and they couldn’t yeah they couldn’t they couldn’t win with the third string so maybe weird that you’re saying that he wasn’t the backup in case maybe archers went down but buddy they can’t risk any injury with the Smith they had him wrap in and bubble wrap up in in the top of the building near no one so we can move on strangle hold on the series for the it by any means is not over obviously Nashville being a very resilient group they went through the [ __ ] wall in the last uh uh later part of the season after the fu tour so can’t count them out at all but such a huge momentum shift going back to Van for the connu absolutely interesting stat B uh just the eighth time since 1990 that a team has used three goalies in one series uh the previous seven teams went one and six in those particular Series so see what happens with vanca not over yet did huh what you say they’re defying science uh next up Biz I had your boys uh queued up the Leafs Bruins your boys are on the brink uh bees got it done Saturday night masan absolutely crushing the Leafs right now and we had a little what a little teda in the bench what was going on with the with your boys on the bench man I made up a little dialogue for little tweet oh eight years of failure yeah one point we’re sorry B go ahead no no you could you can go too I was just going to say with like about that situation I’m sure you’ve had plenty of uh [ __ ] you matches on the bench buddy I mean you played power play with Sid if if you didn’t find the seam I’m sure he was coming back to the bench letting you have it the only difference is you probably didn’t say [ __ ] because you didn’t want to get sent back to Wilksburg no I didn’t say a word I said I’m sorry sir let me try again I’m sorry sir may I have another thanks sir may I have another oh my God I’m sorry Biz it’s just it’s one of those things where I don’t think the arguing on the bench is the end of the world it’s not because that happens a lot you actually saw um two different instances this year of of Perry was giving it to a Vander Kane I think Leon was giving it to Evander Kane and trying to get him going in the regular season it’s like that happens dude you’re together all the time it’s a family you call each other out when you need to have more we talked about Joe thoron back in the day saying we need more out of you like that’s not crazy it’s just the fact that Marner is like that bad right now and these two guys neander hasn’t even played he’s telling him to stop [ __ ] crying this isn’t [ __ ] Junior that’s what he said like dude that’s not just hey buddy you got to get the puck in deep there hey bud be harder on the puck stop [ __ ] crying this isn’t [ __ ] Junior that’s a different type of like personal argument on the bench in a playoff game and Buddy you just if if that’s me and I have that skill set and I missed the first three games I could have found out that Austin Matthews thumped my old lady and I wouldn’t have said [ __ ] on the bench like that’s ridiculous that’s the that’s the worst part about it where it’s like Bud you just missed the three first three games like you shouldn’t be saying anything now the argument becomes who was he yelling at did they did they establish who he was talking to was he talking to Matthews because right before that or was it after that Marner turns around and throws his gloves down I think the funniest part thing about the clip was bruzi though bruzi just like like I want to be on the Bruins again can I he’s actually been pretty solid in the series and working his dick off Marshawn has been owning them owning him though he’s just working them left and right but where do you want to start I mean do you want to start with Marner and what I said on air can I start with one thing Bruin side one thing breu side and that is um the big question mark would they continue the rotation would they continue the rotation no they had two games in between games three and four Monty made the right decision I think it was it was pretty uh not alarming I can’t think of the word but after game three swayan said and I said there’s no goalie controversy here these guys love each other the celebrations how close they are off the ice and I don’t think there’s a cont screen but then all of a sudden um Swan came out and said I I want to keep playing I don’t want to give up this net it was almost like oh like all right well yeah they’re buddies and they really care about each other but there’s also some sort of ego involved not in a bad way ego just like dude I’m I’m feeling it right now I don’t want to come out of this net because I’m so confident when goalies get in this Zone they get in this Zone and it kind of led me into hearing a pretty incredible story involving San and the Leafs and the Bruins have this ridiculous goalie history right the Leafs gave the Bruins to caras he had this unbelievable run well apparently Swan’s draft year okay oh yeah here we go he did you hear this B keep going okay so he was um he was interviewing with teams prior to the draft and all that and apparently the Leafs really really liked him and he was telling his father like yeah I think the Leafs are are going to pick me and round four comes around he’s been hearing the Leafs are into him and now all of a sudden the Leafs have the pick fourth round pick coming up Dad here we go and the maple leaf select goenda one pick before the Bruins one pick and the next pick the Boston Bruins select Jeremy swayan and what do you think Jeremy Swan’s thought about since that day I cannot wait to get to the NHL I cannot wait to be a starting goalie and I cannot wait to shove it up the Maple Leaf’s [ __ ] and he’s doing it and he’s doing it in style and I think here and that it made even more sense stick with him right now I don’t care if you get to the second round you actually want to go one and two and see what happens right now this is Swan’s crease and he is making a mockery of the Toronto Maps he’s in that zone so go ahead uh do you have his numbers ra because they’re astronomical it’s it’s not yeah Swan Swan 3 and0 uh 956 save percentage 134 uh goals against he stopped uh 87 of 91 shots so far yeah absolutely Stell I told you [ __ ] those rotations in the playoffs I I think we should stick with the bees and give them their flowers before we get to the leag now uh how about Monty handling it in the media too he said the goal all along was to make sure each goalie gets a game this guy is just a little little puppet master isn’t he do you believe a word of that M no that’s why when he talked about the travel he’s like I don’t understand why we’re up here for three days we’re the home team he’s just he’s a master class he’s thinking way ahead of everybody just diverting all the the topics and the media he’s a little magician and I just love what he’s doing and I I did agree finally with the San and now it’s Swan’s net and but I was going to ask ra like what do you do next series you do Swan because he has this great history with Toronto Florida olar gave up the lead last year Swan lost the last game but is it San right away in Florida too [ __ ] yeah [ __ ] SW game one swan and then go from there that’s all Noy 3-1 here boys I said that they were going to reverse the curse and they were up 3-1 in the bees in that last crazy meltdown series Series where they gave up what also a 4-1 lead in that crazy game B on bur on burer on it ain’t over yet boys wait the Bruins were up 3-1 in that series weren’t they no I think the Toronto Maple lefs were weren’t they talk to me 20 no 2013 yeah 2013 they blew the the 3-1 series and the 3-1 lead right yeah blew a 3-1 series Le okay so I thought they’d actually already come back against the Bruins to force game seven being down 3-1 I thought that that was the case and I was like oh my God if they actually win the next two and then this happens again I didn’t know they were up in that series wow um I think we got to go back to Brad Marsha and it scary because game three when he was in Toronto he was like I guess pregame skate it was five minutes before they were actually supposed to start and he goes over to M he’s like let’s [ __ ] get going here let’s go I’m ready to go and he had pep in a step the whole day so you knew he was going to bring it and then obviously all that drama from him in the situation with ber in game three I don’t think that should have been a penalty I think they were just battling in the neutral zone that was just gamesmanship it sucks that they didn’t because they end up going down and scoring that weak one but then once again the marshan show in in game four ends up having what two three points in that one a huge goal on that PP and it’s just B he’s on a mission and I would say at this point there’s no doubt in my mind Brad Marsha is a Hall of Famer just from the leadership standpoint everything’s done from a body of work the sheer dominance over the last decade is one of the best gamer Wingers in the league pull up his playoff numbers the bigger the game the bigger the stakes Brad Marsha is at the top of the [ __ ] list he’s a warrier so it starts there de Brusque has been an absolute Leaf killer this how do you pronounce his last name g you’re hopping in here if you if you want to talk but this L is it Lor or no Mason l he’s the one who forces the pinch in in game four right down on Revo and then boom it’s in the back of the net to get the boys going I don’t know what they’re gonna have to pay him but he seems like he’s the next [ __ ] Chara for them they just keep reloading we we talk about the culture so much with the Bruins and Biz I thought Wayne told an unreal story on TNT this past week about how Maran went to training camp five days early to practice with the rookies was going out there the whole time the only guy that that had been that had played NHL games is skating with the rookie at their training camp at their development Camp I thought that’s amazing but one point on the Bruins too is their bottom six has been incredible I thought Pat maroon like a lot of people made fun of that acquisition like especially the videos that were first coming out of him at uh Bruins practice and [ __ ] looking slow and big and he has been incredible I think he’s been an unbelievable addition to that bottom six Beer’s been incredible I know hazy was giving me [ __ ] earlier this season for that he was he was 100% I think that that bottom six has been the Difference Maker here besides swan um and then to the leaes okay to the Leafs Jason Gregor my buddy Edmonton guy I’ve actually updated this tweet since game four this was after game three so I’ve just changed it Maple’s last 11 playoff games they’ve scored 21 goals scored three goals once their power play is 10% they’re three and eight in those games Chris Johnson tweet the leaf have the Leafs have lost six straight playoff games on home I getting outscored 2111 this is your core this is your there it is Tick Tock hockey baby gry gritty and and and this has to be the end of this core and I I’m telling you this Biz you cannot win with these four guys as your big dogs they don’t got it Matthews he gots it he’s the guy tarez getting older what a career makes too much money I think he’s got one more season not the end of the world neander Marner one of them’s got to go it ain’t gonna be nander it ain’t gonna beander it ain’t gonna be he just signed an eight-year ticket and and I’ve been very open about when I talk about players like admitting dude Mitch Marner is an incredible hockey player yes he is his skill level is out of control he’s a crazy point producer in the regular season even the playoffs points aren’t great he doesn’t score a lot of goals he’s very undersized and not only is he undersized but he’s brail Sydney Crosby and was underz like Martin St Louis was a little underz like the they’re thick dude they’re [ __ ] in the corners they’re battling this guy is just getting tossed around he he is one million times the hockey player I ever could have been in every aspect but dude I’m looking as an analyst and somebody watching these games this guy he doesn’t got it in the playoffs he doesn’t got it and the fact of the matter is when you’re sitting around looking at the ref and you’re sitting around and you’re throwing your gloves it’s like all right something’s got to change here I think keth will be gone and I think Marner will be gone and I don’t know what they get in return and who they hire as a coach but let’s just finally come out and say this isn’t the core this ain’t going to do it and and it’s some people people might say it’s not fair to single out just Marner I think in this situation if you go back to last year neander was probably their best forward in playoffs it’s very unfortunate whatever happened as to why he couldn’t play in the first three games do I know the full story absolutely not it came down to migraines apparently he was throwing up something that he’ never really dealt with so it’s hard to hold that against him I thought in the game four when he got inserted he did make some plays there was a few instances where he maybe tried to do a little too much individually go one on two one on Three uh they had all the momentum in the third period at one point he took that stupid penalty I want to say it was on Jake de Brusque where he just reached over grabbed him and hauled him down so overall like was he the reason they lost no could we have used them in the first three games to maybe pull out one more win if we would have saw last year’s knee Lander like they’ve been the first three games like or at least games two and three they were tight I feel like he could have been a big impact in game three Matthews won them game two he ain’t the [ __ ] problem he’s a horse and then all of a sudden to add to the drama he comes down with an illness so he’s battling something he actually left game four in the third period I don’t know what he’s dealing with now either so he ain’t [ __ ] going and he hasn’t been the problem JT agree completely Wes makes way too much money if he stays as a Toronto map Leaf after next year’s deal all good but he should be making a million bucks on a team-friendly deal playing fourth line Center and in providing leadership at 11 million bucks I don’t even I don’t even know if he’s like an elite third line Center at this point with his speed but once again I don’t think he’s been the major problem I think that Mitch Marner has been rubbish the worst player on the team this full series I I didn’t say [ __ ] until finally game four games one and two on the road non-existent didn’t win pull up the tape I don’t think he won one [ __ ] Puck battle along the yellow Dasher along with really not doing anything else yeah you saw signs of Brilliance with that one backdoor play he made to ni the Marner magic but like if you think that that’s like oh I I did my thing like I had my guy you didn’t you’re making 11 million you should what does he want what does he want in the next deal probably 13 probably exactly what a I want what Austin Matthews made why is he getting all the attention he’s getting the [ __ ] attention cuz he plays on the [ __ ] defensive side of the puck he wins Puck battles and he scores 69 [ __ ] goals you’re going [ __ ] leaf or uh Raptor’s court side two weeks before playoffs after being out with an injury doing a [ __ ] photo op when you haven’t done [ __ ] all come playoff time that’s the problem I have with it so after the first two three game performances that and listen I’ve said on the broadcast too I don’t know if he’s injured an injury he could still be injured yeah he could be dealing with something still lingering but why is he playing as much as he’s playing m i saw your post and I talked about it also and I ran the clip on the broadcast the PK so he’d W he’d lost every battle in the first period so I’m waiting I’m waiting my blood’s starting to boil then they win an offensive zone faceof in the second period he goes to the wall he has so much time and space I think he’s going to open up and scan the ice and make a good play probably move it to his defenseman who was wide [ __ ] open no he’s slow he gets [ __ ] manhandled and beat on the wall it goes back to the defensive Zone they take a penalty who gets put out on the [ __ ] penalty kill Mitchy penalty kill Marner floats up to the top misses the block takes a curl doesn’t stop Puck goes down low he comes out of position from the top of the diamond he goes to the L guy Coyle he’s got one hand and a stick it’s on the wrong side of him Cole makes the play up top Charlie coy says here comes the clap bomb yeah sck over the Marner back door in the back of the net and who the [ __ ] FR nut front go Mitch Marner why the [ __ ] is he killing penalties M why the [ __ ] is he killing penalties there there’s no zero accountability there soon as um he got that big deal you’re right there’s no like they just have the keys to the whole city there’s no accountability there’s no like leadership there the way they play the way they act like you talked about off the ice but I think like what you said wh about naner saying like this isn’t Junior that’s something that’s been going on for a long time personal dude yeah like I’m sick of hearing about your Junior stories and what you did and playing like this like this is the NHL this is game set like seven game series Big Boy hockey quit the [ __ ] and he’s finally fed up with it especially like you said he missed the three games he should just sit there and be quiet but it is so bad there the culture’s so bad boiled over that’s why some people thought that neander was looking at Matthews cuz uh Marner was sitting back but Matthews never played Junior so he I think Matthews was talking on Marner and I think Marner was talking back and I this is my guess and then I think neander popped in and it was just like a two-on one I think Matthews starts here I’m pointing at Matthews and and Ne and Martin’s like oh what the [ __ ] and then neand is on the other side and probably started giving it to him too and then he chucked his gloves now I think many Marner fans are like all anyone does is single out Marner it’s like all right well I mean tarz you people have said enough about tarz and the other two guys in the playoffs have showed up so it’s a little different my thing is watch the first shift of the game or was it the first penalty the Bruins got do you remember what Marshon did dude he [ __ ] flies into the Zone he kind of Beats Matthews a little bit Riley comes over he ends up going and getting the puck in the corner and he throws it back to the Deets it’s just like this dog mentality that that that you don’t see in Toronto and it’ll it’ll it’ll have to be a big time culture core shakeup for it ever to have a chance of changing and let’s not forget the defense like they can’t move the puck that defense cannot get the puck out of Their Own Zone like tape to tape and the Bruins have done a good job for tracking but like you got to be able to make plays Under Pressure dude you got to be able to actually have a guy draped all over to you look on the wall and then find a guy in the middle the Leafs don’t have that like Riley can do it but I would put at least get uh what’s his name [ __ ] jono back in there I AG get some leadership in there I agree with you there I I would be okay bis sorry last thing no you’re fine you never know hockey’s crazy the Bruins blew 3-1 last year Florida’s a way different team but now you got hall now you got Hall excuse me like he’s playing a wall he’s playing correct I always think of Justin Hall is not a good the fans don’t me PTSD there wall buddy hey Sam son’s done see you later he ain’t playing for the Leafs ever again wall hey who knows dude I actually don’t even know why I know he was injured but like why didn’t they just go to him earlier I don’t think sami’s been the issue in this series maybe that one back was it the brus or orick Frederick’s yeah that was a bad one that was a it was a back breaker that was right after that Marsha beri incident now I I I don’t know if I mentioned it earlier but with neander missing the first three games that I already say like why would he come in with that suit why would he do the why would he do his they don’t give a [ __ ] dude as Merl said they they’re they’re the Toronto Mapes dude I walk around this city people want picks with me I’m a [ __ ] god dude they don’t care even after even after the morning skate he does the interview he’s got no tarp on he’s got the ch and the earrings I respect fashion I got no fashion if you want to be fashionable great but buddy win a [ __ ] game yeah oh my God but as crazy as this sounds as a as big of a a soap oper as this has been maybe they turn it on maybe they go back to Boston away from all the nose Matthews heals up for illness maybe Marner takes it personally and we see more that Marner magic I mean yeah had yeah maybe wall stands on his head who knows you just never [ __ ] know so Leafs aren’t dead yet and the fat lady hasn’t saying so let’s go when you tweet it out it isn’t over I people think you’re trolling I said I I I go people don’t this guy ain’t trolling this dude actually believes beliefs I believe that they’re going to come back and I respect it you’re a Die Hard well let me ask AR over to you aray what happened last year to the Bruins uh they [ __ ] up the the lineup they [ __ ] up the Goen they just uh Monty just had too many pots and didn’t know where to put him and the Goen and he screwed up as well yeah it was just that’s it they should have just put I mean I said put swiming in what game three and they didn’t put until game seven yeah so that’s what happened last here’s my prediction they’re gonna find a way to [ __ ] it up again yeah wait you you say MIT he doesn’t have it like is that something that he can you know get later or is that something he can like learn event okay I I that’s the thing the way he’s built like that that’s not his fault he is he is not a very strong like human being dude he is super strong you know what I’m trying to say right now I’m talking like in the NHL with these guys a lot of dudes 200 to 220 pounds that in the playoffs when you can be rougher when you can be more physical when everyone changes their game there’s certain parts of him that really can’t he he’s not going into a corner with c people and coming out with it and and he can tow drag these people and he can be down on one knee and score these beautiful goals and just have skill that’s through the roof but sometimes in these games dude you got to be a horse and like he’s a smaller built individual so I and what’s funny is like in the regular season like he will all he’ll always light up the regular season especially nowadays in hockey the guy’s unbelievable at hockey but when the games get dude when you it’s it’s it’s it’s one step it’s it’s a little bit time time and space that you lose and a little bit more physicality and all of a sudden it’s like holy [ __ ] dude I’m in one and they’re not calling as much as they call in the regular season so I I yeah I feel bad like the kid is an on I’ve actually I’ve actually heard he’s a great kid too he yeah I’ve heard guys love him and like on the road he’s one of the guys it’s just like you’re making this much money it’s just hard to not bring up nothing personal and you said everything about his skill set and how good he is this comes down to effort um battle level uh body language in some instances uh I pointed out the clip too uh he’s in net front he goes in for the battle yeah he got a little tap on the back of the leg but he drops to his knees he looks at the ref it’s just like Bud this is [ __ ] playoffs and if you’re not built for playoffs stop [ __ ] asking for 13 [ __ ] sheets because that’s where you earn your money [ __ ] how about how about you say you know what I’ll go I’ll make 10 after already making close to 100 a year like total in his career why don’t you take 10 because based on the [ __ ] overall picture he ain’t not worth anywhere near 13 Sheets keep in mind folks Brad marshaw 6.25 million and he’s been the biggest beast in the series guys uh Mark Masters just tweeted out the lines for Le Leaf’s practice PA and Es used to say I look like Mark Masters they used to call me Mark Masters and uh Matthews one is not present at practice that’s kind of uh people expected that but he responded to the Tweet with when Matthews missed Friday’s practice doer skated on the top line as a placeholder that is not the case today DOI is skating with him Leaf’s preparing for a scenario where Austin Matthews is unavailable for game five he must have like uh hey some serious uh food food poisoning or if he ain’t playing oh my God if he ain’t playing you’re waving it you think yeah I mean you’re H down there you’re wav yeah my all right let’s move on let’s move on we got six more

thank you so much chck 20 bucks shout out to game time thank you guys what’s the next series R Colorado Winnipeg ah huge surprise here obviously Winnipeg a lot lot of people think they’re going to do a lot better they down three games to one right now getting dummy I don’t know what is up a Conor halach this guy is the presumed uh vno winner one and three 19 goals he’s given up on 146 shots comes out to an 870 save percentage 522 goals against uh Whit like what do you think happen it’s just stly mental here I mean he doesn’t look like he’s hurt like what’s your take on this a fraud Squad they’re back God fraud alert that player has texted me I [ __ ] told you was the text I got it is a fraud show right now now I have no idea what’s going on with huk I I I I don’t I don’t get it I I I it’s it’s not like I know goal tending well enough to see what he’s doing technically that’s just so lost right now and where he’s just fighting the Puck this much I would have to lean towards Colorado and the way that they are just getting into the zone and getting through the neutral zone it’s like they’re in practice it’s like they’re doing the five on0 warm-up breakout drill when you go down to the under end and shoot or maybe there’s two defenseman that hop up and just kind of ghost it playing defense so the players don’t exactly have nothing to get in the way Colorado is just dominating and I guess if you look at like The rosters and we talked about the depth Winnipeg has and they got three basically 1 a 1B lines they have no Superstar level players and Colorado has three of them and I don’t even think ranton has been as great as he can be and they still look Unstoppable but Ma we got to talk about Mar like and actually it goes back to huk like Mar’s goal while being one of the goals of the playoffs it was Bobby ores I think everyone could agree first off he he I thought it was icing watching the game I’m like icing and the ref waves it off late most defens would kind of be like panicked oh my god oh no no big deal I’ll just grab it I’ll wield the net totally Shield off one guy with the net see you later then he comes up on two guys sort of loses it a little bit but he’s going so fast it ends up kind of hitting his skater shinpad bounces right to him now you got three forwards gone or maybe at least two I think the other guy’ come back and then gave up the other guy and then all of a sudden you’re like oh my God this is the defenseman coming down on me as another defenseman as big Biz WS a fart and waves the White Flag as the players on Winnipeg are he just comes down and Snipes awesome shot I think maybe I mean obviously there’s Matthews but like is his wrist shot not right there with Matthews yeah that’s what I said and he could change the angle he pulls and changes the angle he’s Fu and from the point and what I noticed too I wonder if kids out there have been working on this and his hands are very close together which is definitely easier to stick handle like if your if your bottom hands up a little higher like it’s easier to feel the puck and have softer hands but it’s not that easy to shoot it and snap it from there dude he is just he’s on the point just he’s like sifting wrers through like LST used to do but they’re going 93 miles an hour and so if they don’t get tipped they’re beating goalies high but that goal at the end of that rush I don’t know hellu has that in the regular season I think great shot but kind of far out no screen and boom it just beats him over his blocker it’s just there’s goals that he’s giving up that to me when you watched them all regular season you you’re just like that it’s not going in it was it was Clockwork you know certain shots certain one-timers if there’s no screen hellu got it perfect position gets down low nothing’s beating him low got an amazing glove and I don’t know aray sometimes confidence just gets in your head you lose a little bit of it and then this is not the team as a goalie you want to be trying to find your confidence again Merles I think you’ve you’ve said it all year long actually you they’ve been your team for about three years now and posha sent to the group text there’s no team who gets a little momentum and goes on a run more than the [ __ ] Colorado avalanch it’s like when they smell blood it’s Jaws skating after that boat in marus venard it’s the it’s the the definition of buzzing when they get buzzing in the ozone they’re buzzing now um it seemed like heluk had a great two periods in in game three right when they were up 2-1 going into the third when they up 2-1 but then as much as you want to blame hellu jets are giving up opportunities in scoring chances and shots like they weren’t in the regular season if you give up 40 shots against the ABS you’re toast so I don’t know if the altitude played a factor where all of a sudden the floodgates open in the third period in that game three but overall if he ain’t playing lights out the way that they’re playing they don’t have a chick and dicks chance to win in this series it’s it’s over in my opinion now they’re they’re uh they’re a mentally fragile group The Jets there’s no resilience in that locker room last year same thing they won game one they get rocked in game two and they were never able to recover there’s no response right now at least one of those games they got to double oot with Vegas right where now it’s like they they forgot how to play they’re they’re they’re not cycling the puck in the offensive zone they’re not eating clock they don’t how many how many games in a row this year did they go were they allowed two or fewer goals I think it was like an 11 game stretch they they’ve completely lost their defensive structure did losing Brendan Dylan help no horrendous injury horrible by the way hope he’s doing all right man that was ugly thankfully I guess there’s no structural damage it’s just a cut so they’re they obviously swelling and and infection is the worry a hole in his hand yeah yeah I don’t know people we can’t even put the still image up here on the chat on the on the stream but it was horrible looking but Merles you watch the Avalanche so much that I guess you’re used to seeing once they it’s it’s just it’s the the ice is tilted they’re playing downhill yeah and they just keep coming and you got to credit sack as the GM getting that kid Walker on D he’s McFarland it’s McFarland now it’s McFarland well sack is running everything up there agree let’s let’s let’s be honest here but he he goes back sometimes I think it’s Mar grabbing the puck cuz he’s buzzing around so much that Miles wood they got from the Devils that posha hated that guy goes out there and he’s flying flying Colton’s flying around your buddy um cogliano he’s flying around and these are the third fourth liners so these guys are going nuts by the time McKinnon and them come back out the team is like what the hell’s going on and then they just have have their day with them it’s they’re really fun to watch and I think it was on your broadcast Biz I was watching and some of the players were saying when you you feel that altitude it’s like a guy sitting on your chest and like you can’t breathe and it usually hit you in the second third period and then that place is buzzing like you said they smell the blood the fans smell it they stand up the whole time it’s awesome this has okay I want to give some flowers out R let’s let’s quickly talk about um Bowen Byrum gets moved right they had dth he wasn’t going to be the number one guy Casey middlest stat oh yeah some question marks right like never played in a playoff game has been getting better I think stats wise every year in Buffalo improving improving improving a little bit of a thicker body while being not huge he’s he’s thick oh yeah he has looked amazing and what he’s done being the second line Center that they’ve been chasing ever since Kadri left is he’s been able to allow nushin McKinnon and Ronin to play together okay and also to go with middlest stat playing this well pari’s playing unbelievable I said last show paresi was on a golf trip in September I’m not done I want to come I want to keep playing Colorado grabs him he’s looked awesome dude and the final piece of that second line are T leenan and this is the thing with Marner not to go back to the Leafs our T lein is kind of the same build now the difference is 100% he is not the star of the team he is not one of the three or four stars of the team so it’s different he doesn’t have the same matchups he doesn’t have to deal with the number one lines in the number one D but he is a tenacious finish [ __ ] on the ice he’s always in the fight he’s in every B ATT he’s winning battles he’s tipping pucks he’s going to the dirty areas and he is in the mix every single game this guy is a playoff player you remember how well he played when Montreal went to the finals against Vegas he was leading that team on that crazy run they had when they beat Vegas so this is a guy that’s rounded out this second line that allows the three big guns to play together and now okay we got the McKinnon line buzzing now we got middle stat flying around making plays with his two great Wingers one of them’s 39 years old Zack paresi and then we come with Colton Colton’s line and and and it’s like it never it as Merles said it’s never ending and then you got Mar back there Walker doesn’t have a point dude I had no idea how good of a skater Sean walk oh yeah he can close on you like dud FES you got Manson getting points you got Devon Taves and marar this team it’s it’s I obviously they want they want Vegas Dallas to go to seven and then I think they’re going to be favored no matter who they play the way they’ve looked Winnipeg’s not a joke of a team I’ll go to Biz do you have anything to say I was just going to look at the trades that this team has made I know like Shan Walker Josh Manson uh Devon Taves they got him in a trade you just said le le leenan middle stad nushin they basically got nushin for nothing like that those are all Impact players I just mentioned it’s [ __ ] crazy man incredible jaw by the front office and I mean you just mentioned lein and he’s been the he been the guy where I’m like man like you always think like I wouldn’t say his play is going to dip but like how is he that relevant every single game he is like a he is like a star on this team now I love watching him play I love every time I mention their roster I’m mentioning that puck Hound so that’s all I got uh okay um what else uh oh miles wood there’s another [ __ ] trade you know what the biggest thing about that is posa it’s not hey it ain’t a player problem it’s an organizational problem zaka is having success Woods having success anybody leaves who anyone who leaves that dirt bag franchise of yours posha has success suck on that with your jewelry on your face okay um shout out gorv has rebounded we talked about the first game holy [ __ ] what are they gonna do he’s looked solid now Winnipeg hasn’t tested him much my last thing on Winnipeg I think Jets fans would agree last year they lose out the four straight in the first round they lose in five and Rick bonis has a press conference for the ages and they went out and they did things to address what he was talking about culture the room not buying in all the issues off the ice and they made a bunch of deals and you get shley to resign you get hook to resign and everything looks different well now what do you see you’re down 3-1 you’ve lost three straight in the first round and you have a coach and a player dissension press conference where shley is saying they’re making all these adjustments that’s what said we’re not making any and bonus is disagreeing and you’re like what has really changed here there’s obviously something there where I don’t I mean we interviewed Rick bonus seems like a great guy we’ve never played for him but there’s something going on where like [ __ ] hits the fan with this team and it’s just finger pointing everywhere good teams great teams they don’t finger point they point the finger at themselves I have to be better I you it’s it’s just like it seems like right now it’s just like what the [ __ ] that’s on you that’s on you it’s blaming everyone else when guys you haven’t played remotely close to how you had to play to compete with this team this team is an offensive Juggernaut you guys are built on defense clogging up the neutral zone and playing a lot of time in the offensive zone cycling the puck you’re doing nothing you’re doing none of that and that’s why you’ve seen three blowouts in a row yeah I’m glad you mention that yor of there because he did respond pretty well 301 now I mean the numbers aren’t great 885 and 304 but he’s been Stell the last three games after giv up seven goals the first that’s all that uh that’s all that keer had to do give him average goal tening and they probably get your Stanley Cup and last thing before we move on our next series Val NuSkin they didn’t have him last year they lose at home in game seven he was a force when they won the cup the year before and you talk about hbook and what’s going on with him when I say confidence nushin didn’t score a goal for about [ __ ] 85 games in Dallas at one point so yeah he’s playing with McKinnon and ranin now but it doesn’t look like he’s having success just because of those guys so confidence is a crazy thing and with him they are a different team dude no doubt no doubt n hopefully Brendan Dylan’s feeling all right buddy had him on the show a couple years ago man that was an ugly inur so hopefully he’s back at the line absum he’s a warrior too he he was probably trying to say I could play oh yeah seriously put some tuss in on it get back out there uh Whit next up your boys the Oilers up three games to one stewart skin first shout out of the playoffs 33 shots stopped all of them first shout out and we got to give a credit to David rck I know he only saw what 13 shots from Evon but you know stopped 12 of them he you know he gave La the goal 10 they need they probably haven’t gotten in the series yet but you one went away from that second round with how you feeling buddy feeling amazing um just the the fact the fact that we stole a playoff game that they finally got a game they got they won a game that they didn’t deserve to win like I mentioned before you need that in the playoffs you need to have that happen not just once usually it’s a couple times on the way to the cup if you look back at all these Cup winners they win games that after the game the other fan base is sitting there thinking like how the hell did we not just win that game and Shout Out La it was very similar to game two uh Edmonton ran him over in game one La shows up completely different team game two Edmonton runs them over again in game three and La came out flying I saw the first period I’m like all right I kind of expected that I think all Oilers fans expected that let’s quickly mention these [ __ ] 1050 start times on a Sunday night you’re telling me yeah buddy I know you’re working shout out to you guys all you guys at TNT it’s what are we doing whatever I’m not even getting into that McDavid and Dr idle it 1050 Eastern on a Sunday night but orther fans were really expecting that first period and and La they didn’t disappoint they came in waves they didn’t stop they were chipping puck in they were getting on the D but the Oilers weathered the storm I actually mentioned I’m like all right you get through that first period you knew it was coming even if you get out of that period one nothing it’s like all right they they were dominating that entire period but then the second period came and I thought the Oilers would really find their legs and the pace of the game would change in their favor and it didn’t and it didn’t in the third either we were able we yes I say we once an Oiler always an Oiler I love the Oilers I I I I I just this team it’s addicting it’s addicting watching this city watch hockey they’re was a different mindset in this game dude they were blocking shots they were AB they were getting pucks out when they shoo when I talk about making plays Under Pressure couple times Bard’s rounding the net with a guy on him he’s not chipping it out for an icing he’s finding guys in the middle and well yes then the guy in the middle almost just had to chip it out it’s still making plays Under Pressure that the Oilers have not in the past done a great job of with their defense their defense is so improved people who have called out nurse and CC they’ve looked really good dude they’ve looked solid they’ve been getting in the way they’ve been having good Gap Connor made a big comment in game three about backtracking on that team he said when we’re backtracking and our d have good Gap we are very very good and tough to beat I’m kind of paraphrasing that but it’s all about not only is it the backtracking for people I think most people know what I’m talking about but it’s these forwards getting on your horse and getting back and forcing the other team’s offensive players to not be able to walk into the middle it goes hand inhand with the D having good Gap if D are backing off the offensive Blue Line early and these guys have a ton of room to enter the offensive zone the backtracking really doesn’t even change because no matter what they’ve already entered the offensive zone and they’re making plays and they’re cycling down low when you have the backtracking and D standing up which by the way D can stand up with this backtracking because they know if I get beat I got McDavid I got Leon I got any of these other guys newon Hopkins is amazing at it one of the top back Checkers in the league I got them right behind me and is not going to it’s not going to be a two-on-one chance against so in game four after dominating game three they dude they just like held on for dear life but in a different way and also while the shots were completely outrageous in favor of of of La a lot of them dude they weren’t like a ton of grade A scoring chances end of the third period they were I’ll say final 10 minutes it was the Skinner show the big question mark can steuart Skinner actually lead this team dude he answered a lot of questions last night he really did he had a really bad game one and two actually I shouldn’t say really bad an average game one or two he’s given up one goal in the past two games his first ever career playoff shut out and he made some big time huge like game saving saves in the last 10 minutes of that third period of game four and just to get that game after not really deserving to win it just goes so far for this team and then you go to special teams La is one of the top penalty killing teams in the league they’re eight for look at this dude crazy I read this on the broadcast too people who aren’t aware back when I played I remember um coaches would talk about the combined percentage of PK and PP if you can get to 105 it’s really good if you can get to 110 it’s amazing so an example of that would be um if your power play is clicking at 25% and your penalty kills at 80% you’re at 105 pretty solid pretty solid if you can get to 110 that means you know say the power power play is 25% the PK is 85% you’re laughing 153% % 11 for 11 PK and 8 for 15 on the power play not to mention last year they were 9 for 16 against La in the first round so chirp me all you want and try to say I’m ridiculous in calling this one of the greatest power plays in the history of man this power play is Unstoppable I’m telling you unless you’re goenda be the number one penalty killer and Rick rck was good last night granted they only had one power play but they scored and the call on um England yeah I’m not going to say that that’s a great call I don’t think it was as horrible as kings fans are making it sound but dude the minute you have no stick and you kind of get that other hand around a guy’s body they’re calling it every time I know it was a little bit weaker but but that’s [ __ ] sports that’s not just the NHL you get score a goal you lost won nothing no you didn’t score a goal and they buddy their power play is rubbish they were better five on five than they were power play as far as the kings were concerned and going back to these last three series they’ve played against them Edmonton’s 50% on the power play 50 they’re 50% so like figure it out uh the one other thing man and I think this is the biggest component because if they don’t have this guy I don’t think they get past one of the big dogs they’re gonna have to meet eventually a Vander Kane in game three he was a [ __ ] beast and his postgame press conference was he had Hyman laughing at his hand answers can we roll the audio of it at least can we roll spec beforehand in the podcast he did part of the game is it the pressure is it that it means more what makes you play your best hockey this time of year um just the drama of it all um look Atman look Atman just brings the best out of me so so going back so going back guys so spec everyone reads spec you know I’ll give spe credit dude he gets people talking some people love him a lot of people hate him but this dude’s been doing it for a long time and he went on a podcast I don’t know what it was or a radio show and he just said Vander Kane’s all drama drama just surrounds this guy so much drama in his life he brings drama every I think he was saying actually he’s calling it drama I think Canadians they say drama Biz I don’t know guess yeah but potato potato for him to then ask the question what is it bring what what makes you play so good him to just bury him right back the Dr I mean the timing and he just looks at him and then heyman’s drinking the water B he could hman could be a nicer guy doesn’t conflict and he his smirk dude like and he’s like obviously been there behind the scenes and probably witnessed some of it but a Vander Kan the gift that keeps on giving [ __ ] is that something you guys talk about in the locker room like will you guys like that [ __ ] wrote a hit piece about me and then kind of everyone chimes in that’s something you just keep to yourself I think that you probably talk to the guys on the team you’re most comfortable with about like if a guy is coming at you publicly as far as a media member if it’s like bothering you that much yeah you probably men some guys like make light of it and joke about it be like oh yeah I’m getting ripped by spec again like does spe is is this a common thing like how many times do spec have person on players well I I don’t want to really like yeah I guess kind of personal attacks I don’t think he makes it super personal but he he will call you out if you’re not playing and Performing to your contract like put it this way I remember like like I was in the locker room in in the real struggle days of the Oilers and struggle days of my career and then I see I see I see the the the mob of media coming over and you’re just like oh [ __ ] I was minus three again last night I I’ve been playing horrible and you get a question from spec and you know that question just going to basically a different worded way of saying you suck explain why and then one time I got up and then I went into the training room after and H goes s saw spec hit you with the first question like everyone know in Edmonton everyone knows Spec’s coming and if you ain’t playing Spec’s writing about it and everyone reads spec he’s a he’s a media Hound like linan oh he’s a [ __ ] disturber but but like I’m saying like he you you talk about him like it’s just that he’s doing his job I mean some people some guys hate him I certainly didn’t love him when I was there but he’s spec and just for to get buried back by Kane after bringing up the drama he’s involved with but Kane dude yeah the Oilers aren’t going to win the Stanley Cup without him being a big factor and what Chris noblock has done such a great job of since he’s come over is kind of realized how that lineup needs different adjustments here and there and I mentioned at the beginning of the playoffs the first two games he started on the third line with McLoud and Perry and Fogle was playing up with Lon and NJ dude before game three what did noblock do he chucked Kane up in fogal spot yeah and it’s one of those like maybe I don’t know if he even necessar thought he deserved it but it’s like all right he he might have thought he deserved it or he might have thought this will get him going Gordy how hatrick dude goal Apple fight and Kane’s in the [ __ ] series and Kane’s involved and this is what we need and now dude if you have McDavid and Henrik and Heyman and then you come on the ice with NJ Leon and Kane playing the way of Vander Kane’s capable of that team is hard to beat and I want to shout out Vinnie de har this is a guy when he I first saw him last year I was kind of like ah like big dude tough will stick up for teammates his skating ah dude his skating is really improved a couple times this series I’ve seen him pivot and go back on loose pucks win the race to the puck make a play D to D it’s just it’s you got eckol playing with buard you got CC and nurse then you got kulak and de har there’s not much weakness there there’s a lot of um working together you could tell these guys are talking they’re being very loud on the bench it’s just a cohesive team and they have two superstars that as we look around the league and talk about the great players and then the difference between a great player and the regular season in the playoffs Nobody Does it Like These two like I I East Coast people I got buddies that know I’m so invested with the Oilers that love hockey and want to watch McDavid that are bitching about these star times that I’m sad don’t get to see these two super Superstars that somehow are better in the playoffs Leon dude Leon last night yeah they only had 13 shots buddy this guy is a horse he he’s so much faster than people think he protect he protects the puck in the offensive zone he’ll stand still and guys are just bouncing off him and then he’s doing no look backhand passes to the middle of the ice giving guys chances it’s just amazing hockey there’s a long way to go they got to win 13 more games let’s finish off this series at home not have to travel again but I love where the Oilers out it’s been an incredible first four games I’ll tell you what wh I was w i i i couldn’t stay up last night to watch that I was like this is just not worth my time to watch it I can’t stay up late I’ll watch it in the morning so I rewatching it this morning and I started rooting for the Kings because of our dry cidal shots bet because I wanted OT so then we’re alive and the Oilers gave them nothing and I was just so impressed by them I was like wow maybe they are a team that can win the Cup this year so I’m I’m I’m really really think you got something good there yeah Biz I saw I saw Leon was minus 130 minus 125 over two and a half shots I was like I put five grand on it and he got he got his he got his second he didn’t get his second shot till like nine minutes left in the third I was like and then I’m like Merles I’m like overtime I win the bet but I don’t want overtime because I need to go to bed and then they could lose and it was just like this ultimate like what do I do I was like I’ll just take the win I’ll eat the loss I’ll eat the loss I’d already hit leanan Merles gave the leenan over two and a half shots but yeah I thought Leon three shots was the lock of all biggest lock of all time it was a Charles Barkley lock Biz wow what what you’all take on the series I know [ __ ] we I mean that was a great that was a great summary of Edmonton like I don’t know I thought that the big guys for La showed up like they had a push and they ran into a hot goalie uh yeah I I I don’t really have a a summary on the Kings other than [ __ ] it looks like they’re gonna be done I understand the goalie change I don’t think Talbot was doing anything where didn’t uh warrant Ric coming in I thought he was solid I mean Dow’s been battling his dick off he plays a lot of minutes I think he led all all skaters in ice time this season yeah still getting it done at his age I thought Kempy looked great last night like they did everything they threw the kitchen and sink at him but they didn’t figure out the PK and that is is the biggest thing and then obviously special teams it came down to special teams yeah and uh it’s going to kill him last thing on the series Quinton Byfield is here beast and and it’s only going to get better and better and better that kid is a player Yeah Yeah Boy kings keep running grooming him to be the next scar I think they’re gonna move him back to Center I position yeah that would make sense all right boys uh before we get to the next series uh here’s a few words from our buddies over at DraftKings live all right before we move

moving along Dallas Vegas this was looking like uh Vegas might run away with it from the from the jump but Dallas fortunately won game three making a bit of a series here uh a had a he had a tough uh start to the series but he buckled down a bit also got to give a little shout out to um Logan Thompson man he was a little shout out a little shout out Ken major shout out to him yeah he he had never played a playoff game prior to this year or had never started one uh you know we had we met him out in the All-Star game last year quite the character two and one so far 927 save percentage 214 goals against but yeah we got a little good goalie match up here this is like too contend man obviously someone’s going to go out early Ms what what you for this one first what are you likeing on this I know you got a little uh multiple nigs inside of there for you yeah I got my Vegas Stanley Cup future I I I love that team I thought it was done I felt sure they were going to win that game at home but Dallas they’re they’re a serious team and we don’t talk about enough that desperation how how much desperation can play into some of these things you saw it with the other series we’ll get to that we’re down three nothing but Dallas had to have that game they threw everything at V vas and uh yeah I I’m I’m not big on Logan Thompson as as our Vegas Insider he he’s all right on him he likes him a little bit but I’m much comfortable with Aiden Hill but he was phenomenal he kept him in that game but credit to Dallas and our guy Wyatt Johnson that guy is just we’re gonna talk about him for the next 10 15 years as a as a superstar hey I think somebody got him with a crazy uh uh future to win the con Smite I think uh it was it posa put down a 100 bucks to potentially was 10 grand he’s unbelievable let’s go go back that game three made me change my mind where I think Dallas can actually come back and win this series you know what the scoring chances were high danger scoring chances after two periods 21-3 21 that’s what ended up being high every [ __ ] chance that Dallas was getting was a high danger chance all the way to the one where uh Logan Thompson made the save and then eel goes down on the two-on one and ends up [ __ ] burying or did he set up March Oro on that one but either way then you see Logan Thompson coming net he’s giving it the pumper nickel you never see that from a goenda the entire game they stepped it up I loved how um they kept stank koven was playing a [ __ ] ton in OT obviously with Wyatt Johnson they kept going to the young legs and that’s that’s a push back that’s when when you’re on the ropes Winnipeg take notes when you’re on the [ __ ] ropes you got to go in and you got to [ __ ] dominate in the way building that’s how it’s done so I I was I mean two goals for Wyatt Johnson incredible Series so far everybody came to play in that game they were [ __ ] blocking shots they were [ __ ] humming offensively and a little concerning if you’re the Vegas gold knights with that performance because even when they wanted to turn on they couldn’t Dallas just dominated from top to bottom so Dallas is the best um they’re the best team on the road in the NHL so I think they definitely had that confidence going in we like we’re so far from dead in this series but buddy you’re up two nothing everything’s looking good you’re dominating play next thing you know it’s 22 all based on that big save and eel going down in Baran and if last year didn’t remind us enough like Buffalo Sabers fans you’re not going to love it eel is [ __ ] amazing like he he is he is so dominant when he wants to be he comes down shorthanded you think he might pass nope just Snipes one right off the post and in and it’s 22 and you’re like holy [ __ ] like they’re somehow going to pull this game out too you remember in game two it was 1-1 and all of a sudden like hanifen comes out and gets that goal in the second period it’s like they just couldn’t get over the hump at home glass Banger an issue glass Banger should maybe not show up liability he’s a liability but when you’re the best road team and then you go in there like that and heskin and heskin and was was incredible I thought I I I was the best player on the ice how did you what did you end up deciding with him on your list M does he fit the criteria he was the best player on the ice and he was physical too he was hammering guys he was doing it all he needed he needed to step up in a big way where I said this on the on the show I feel like in the regular season given the offensive output they had he didn’t have to to to join the rush all the time he just needed to play a simple easy game make sure he was breaking out the puck staying in position he had to be a little bit more aggressive and stand out and in game three like I said he was the best player on the ice and then he has the goal as well so uh hats off to him he needed a response and he needed to come out of his shell and I don’t know exactly where he is on your list Mer but he needs to be on it after that performance yeah he’s on there he’s 61 194 so he fits the criteria I didn’t go under the hood yet check his blocks blocked shot stats but um yeah I’m very happy with him we saw him at iceon with and we couldn’t stop talking about him every shift he was out there in person it was different he was sick he’s very very fluid in the way he moves he’s quiet about how he does it and and obviously probably playing with kingberg for the amount of time he did probably taught him a little bit about walking the line and how he’s able to Juke guys out I guess my comment and it’s no offense to him I would say that he’s a poor man’s marar like he is he’s just underneath him with all the skating ability the offensive ability the way that he’s able to defend and close on guys he’s a one-man breakout he’s wor and I don’t even think he’s making that much I think he’s making like eight and a half so just an absolute bargon and and one of the more under underappreciated defenseman in the league because he plays in Dallas and you never hear about him when you look at at these lineups and how evenly matched these teams are the the FASA uh rodic fosa he’s dayto day but he’s fourth line whatever you could kind of deal with that the Marchman injury and it’s also listed as dayto day that that’s a loss that’s going to be hard for them I don’t know when he’ll be able to play again but you that second line of Sean duchaine and marshman they’re awesome together so that’s a big piece and he’s so big against a huge Vegas defense that you you you’d like to or you’d think that he might he might need to be a part of this series for Dallas to come back and get it done like we said after it was 2 you got to win four out of five against Vegas Thompson’s kicking it’s going to be hard but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s 2-2 going back to Dallas um I think we’re going to see more out of elski his his resume and his past um convinces me that while being quiet so far you’re going to see a big goal out of him at some point and I actually think overall hints has been quiet too you gota think that Robertson’s been real good but his Wingers there you got to think hint and and and pavelski will end up getting this thing going a little bit more or is hin the center on that line H Center but no you’re good sorry the other two guys on that line um but so Dallas has a little bit of question marks but just that response and mentioned the desperation what was kind of shocking to me was when why Johnson scored that goal his celebration was his second goal of the game gamewinner back in the series he was kind of just gave it a fist pump it wasn’t and this shot buddy oh he got a little step on Theodore and I think a lot of guys would have ripped it quicker and even Theodore with that Long Reach he just waited waited waited Thompson had to go down he had no room bar down actually hit the bar and the top of the net right down and he gives that pump there but I I feel like I would have expected a much bigger celebration we’re back this thing ain’t over and he was just [ __ ] let’s go and the guys came in and business as usual on the road for the Stars so let’s see what the what the what the golden knights come back and respond with in game this should be a great one tonight guys that that was part of my theory as to why I think Dallas can come back and win this series is they just dominated in game three but yet they haven’t had their big dogs fully step up right like you said pavelski there’s still a lot of gas SLP in the tank a little bit more from Jamie Ben du Shane Sean like if these guys all [ __ ] show up the way they did in regular season for game game four we’re right back to Dallas all tied up baby yeah it’s just tough for those stars to get going against this Vegas team though you you see those D they keep rolling out there and the lines they roll out there it’s it’s it’s really something like oh man those guys are out there oh those guys are out there now it’s it’s really something yeah boys I thought we might have a few handshakes over the weekend fortunately we uh only got one handshake line we’ll get to that a little bit but uh Tampa Bay the Islanders both staved off elimination Matthew bazal double overtime get the game winning goal versus Carolina Stave off that and the Tampa Bay man they look dead in the water ended up winning stamp Coast had two goals in the game was it game four 3-1 right now Biz who’s dead out of these two teams are the island is dead in the water or what I mean are they G yeah I don’t think they’re coming back to win the series I I like the I like their ability to to beat guys one-on-one facing man-on-man pressure the barzel move that’s what you have to do you you have to beat them one-on-one you have to create your own offense because they’re going to smother you so he gives that Juke moves he creates a separation and rips it post and in so unless we keep seeing stuff like that then they they don’t have a chicken dicks chance of coming back in the series I mean their their power play is not very good it’s never been very good another aspect into what they need is that second layer of offense from their back end Noah doson much like I said like hkin in early on maybe wasn’t jumping in the play playing on his toes being aggressive this is a guy who had 70 points in the regular season 10 goals and 60 assists so I thought he was way more active in that game four and I thought that that was a big component to why they were able to press and hey give it to the Islanders I think they’ve outshot them two of the four games so far which doesn’t normally happen we know that Islanders aren’t the most offensive team either but um this regular season Carolina uh led the league and only given up 26 shots per game so three times now uh Islanders have exceeded that so if they get the goal tending and you know maybe they can squeeze one more out but I think this series is dead in the water and we’re going to see a performance from Carolina like we did in game two where they have like 110 shot attempts and and just completely smother them and swarm offensively where I don’t think uh I don’t think this is going longer than five games boys I think they get it done at home they F around I do too I think it’s similar to to Vancouver too without the travel being insane it’s like we ain’t going back to New York the only reason we’re going back to New York is to play the Rangers next round I’m not flying back to Long Island to stay at the Garden City in and play the Islanders again at UBS so I I I was also amazed at at Stefan nosen who spent time in the AHL and really found a role with Carolina dude he ties that game four up late um on the P he’s on the pp like it it it’s just like brymore is able to find certain guys that just fit a mold he loves how they play and he’s not just playing like third fourth line he’s I on the power play tying it up late it was a beautiful tip too I the Islanders are just hands hands down like the best at blowing leads and blowing third period leads this entire season and for the uh for the kanes to tie that one late I was like oh my God they’re going to blow another one I thought the kanes would get that overtime winner but you mentioned the barzal move then berzo gets that shot through it was just it was a great effort and it was desperation it was not giving in not giv up and In fairness like they could Carolina could this series could easily be 2-2 it’s like they they have outplayed them in certain aspects and and a couple games so you got to think if they’re able to steal one go on the road steal that one game and somehow get it back home then you never know it’s a tall task I don’t think they’re they’re going to be able to get game five but credit where credits do now I ate a lot of [ __ ] from Rangers fans I had a take it was last season where I said I thought soken might end up being better than cheren I think I actually guaranteed it soken got his chance in game three gives up three gets the hook something’s gone wrong with him um the whole second half pretty much since W came over you saw varlamov was the guy I don’t know what’s going on maybe over the summer in talking to Patrick W and getting back with the goalie coach he’s able to fix it but right now that’s a take I would love to have back shurkin is on the top of his game dude shurin hasn’t give up four or more goals in 27 straight playoff games like this guy he’s him we keep saying he is him but soken in getting that chance game three to get his team back home into the series he laid a huge egg and got pulled and vlov varlamov came in and got the job done in game four to to stop the sweep from happening so shout out the Islanders for not giving in and who knows maybe you can shock them in Carolina but that crowd and when when that team gets going at home it’s going to be tough one other um way they could potentially come back in the series they got to figure out a way to block the shots from the point they got to get in shot Lanes Carolina think they’d be good at which you think that would be part of their identity uh Carolina third highest scoring back end in the regular season and they just find a way to generate offense you saw in game I think it was three orov and burns had one and then going back to last game Pou like you got to get in that shot Lane like that’s that’s where that’s where they pepper all their shots and then they filter in the flankers that’s why the power play has been good for Carolina and that to me is why the Islanders are strugging they haven’t figured that out yet they need to make that adjustment and lay their bodies on the line let the bodies hit the th what I agree with you man I mean t uh the Islanders are right in this are the first two games they they lost two goals there was empty there each of those the third game they lost by a goal and they won the fourth one this could easily be you know two two series or 3-1 their way I I agree with that it’s a lot closer than I think people think go it was a sweep but it wasn’t a sweep kind of like stop yeah and Biz was like uh say that again hot red I could didn’t catch that Merles what do you got on Tampa in Florida man I mean Tampa won last made the 3-1 series are they done or what I mean they’re not going to quit they got Hots of Champions but Florida’s been steamrolling them this this is the one I think this one’s still alive uh both games Florida were 3 to2 the one was in overtime so Tampa could have easily won that one and as you said they’re Champions champions don’t die easily they got they got the great goal tending which you need I I I’m taking Tampa we’ll get to some picks later but I I think Tampa’s gonna go in and steal that one game they’ll go home and win and we’ll see a seven game series in the sunshine state I thought the coolest story of that day was sergachev coming back 80 [ __ ] days since he broke two bones in his leg and he leads him out he starts the game plays 17 minutes of ice against the best team in the east in my opinion and he ends up getting a primary assist so that was such an emotional elevation for that group and kooup is so good at pulling on the heartstrings and what he says in the media and and and motivating his guys I think he said he goes if if you don’t have belief don’t show up to the [ __ ] ring tomorrow and that whole core group and what was potentially stamp Coast last game as a Tampa Bay Lightning they all showed up I think the whole entire Core group had a point point was unbelievable stamp Co had a goal kucherov looked like himself again the power play was going like it hadn’t been all series long so it was all systems go hedman’s been a [ __ ] dog too he’s lugging 25 minutes A Night in the absence of sergachev basically having to handle all of it in all situations so um a very gutsy effort it was great to if it is stamp Coast or if it was his last game as a Tampa Bay Lightning to get to have that experience in that game at home with them playing the way they did that’s what they they all deserved and uh as talkit would say you never underestimate the heart of a champion they will not go silently into the night um great Push by Florida obviously it’s FL they I think in the third period they hit a couple post after they’d made it close it was 4-3 I think they rung one off the cross bar one off the post so they still had that fight and push back so this is a an uphill climb but if there was one team that could do it it would be a team with two cups and a modern day Dynasty on their hands while we’re talking about the sergachev I sorry Whit but serach I just want to say it before you move on from him is in his clip but he was talking about how he saw stamp Co come back from the injury and how it made him like I got to work even harder I got to do even more and more and more and that’s goes back to culture and the Toronto map Leafs have the opposite of that um Biz I love you mentioned Stam like five goals in this series he doesn’t have a deal like how proud is that guy not to mention at the end of game three when he went down in goenda when they were trying to keep alive kachuck ended up burying it but he gets two goals after the game you saw Coupe walking off the bench almost like you thought you were going to sweep us you [ __ ] I don’t think so and and then Nick Paul dude what the hell were the Ottawa Senators doing getting rid of this guy idiot didn’t didn’t he sign doesn’t he sign a seven-year deal for like two million bucks or three million bucks I think he makes like three and change and and I think it was long term like oh what a [ __ ] move that was bringing that guy over he’s been a beast ever since he got there it’s still to me if I look at all the 3-1 series I think Nashville has the best chance to come back and win the series just because of how good Florida is but in game three dude Tampa was up 2-1 they’re looking good all of a sudden boom boom boom it’s 4-2 and and Paul made it 4-3 and they ended up finishing off with the kachuck empty Netter but this Florida team guys they’re just so much to handle them and you saw how much it took for Tampa to get that win can they do that three more times I doubt it it certainly won’t be easy if any team isn’t going to lay down like you guys mentioned it’ll be Tampa and if you can get back to home ice for game six it’s the same thing we’ve been saying with these other series you never know it’s just Florida’s they’re too big they’re too strong and they have Bob Bob Bob is the guy Bob has been doing it now over and over everyone wondered could he do it again yes he’s doing it again so I was impressed by Tampa uh sergachev you saw the emotional Instagram post he had when he did get hurt I think he talked about God and his faith in that post so he got on the ice for warm-ups place was going nuts and he kind of blessed himself so you know that there was a lot of energy that went into that that’s a that’s a 247 like you’re he wasn’t thinking or doing anything else but recover and try to come back to play and Coupe also like talk about playing that thing like a dog I think he came out and said no chance he plays first round and maybe they hoped that he wouldn’t have to but desperation they call for him coming in but Biz you said it 17 minutes looked great Biz I saw in the broadcast you say like in the clips that had come out from him he was it just looked like the Daytona 500 the beginning of practice just barely moving and you’re like all right he’s on the ice but he isn’t ready to play dude he’s playing with Big Time forwards and keeping pace and pivoting I I was amazed at that in every clip I saw like he wasn’t even taking a full stride so I’m like oh this is just more of a moral boost and then they asked us asked us uh you know do you think he’s GNA play I’m like Noah he’s just there to read the lineup card and be there for warmup and and you know get the boys fired up and then next thing you know he’s on the [ __ ] blue line starting the game I’m like what sick analysis Biz I I don’t even have the guy playing he’s [ __ ] starting um but uh one last thing I to say about Florida the fourth line Nikki cousins oh the [ __ ] King of the rats he is [ __ ] they had Lamborghini go down too he was I think he was out with the flu so he didn’t even play and that lorence kid stepped in and did a heck of a job ended up having two points in that game three so when we talk about the Florida Panthers and their 6D and their [ __ ] in their whole lineup front to bottom well when the fourth Line’s contributing two goals man no team has any chance if they’re [ __ ] clicking on all C and that’s St that monster know nothing about that guy is it stenland the huge righty on the fourth fin this [ __ ] guy he’s a beast uh last thing for me on the series we talked about the trades and you get Paul and like how good was Hegel how good has Hegel been that was another deal the Blackhawks didn’t want him I guess they didn’t want to pay him but what a deal he’s an awesome player he’s proven himself in the playoffs I know he wasn’t there for either of the cups but dude it hasn’t been on him why they haven’t been able to get it done since he’s come over because he plays A Hard role he plays physical and he scores big goals so Tampa that’s where you can figure out the dummy organizations you see all these Smart Ones and how many first round picks they give up they all these valuable first round picks you get you get assets you go get good players and all those players you mentioned for Colorado linan I think they gave up maybe two first rounds or two first rounders for him to Montreal give them away get the good players Nick Paul haggle all these good teams are going to find these diamond in the roughs that these [ __ ] organizations think that they have crappy players so they give them away because they think their scouting scaff’s going to dra draft the next unreal first round draft pick idiots morons dumpster fire organizations who don’t have a [ __ ] clue where we should be running them R you should be the [ __ ] gmma half these teams yeah there’s not a chicken dick chance of that happening oh yeah I would H Whit you’re talking about bosski right I mean dude he’s been absolutely insane so far I looked at his numbers it’s three and one right 321 goals against [ __ ] 874 save percentage I was like wait a minute huh like I had a double check I’m like dude he’s been insane like I can’t believe his save percentage is that low obviously one b game yeah yeah D A high-scoring series you’re playing against Tampa Bay right absolutely yeah you’re right it was it’s four games so that one high scoring game kind of fudges the numbers a little bit Yeah 17 out of 19 21 out of 23 26 out of 29 36 out of I’m sorry 26 out of 32 the last one but like yeah I mean the saves he’s made dude he’s been unconscious like the one with the [ __ ] the elbow with the back of his elbow turn around put it this way R right like you see those numbers Paul Maurice and and and Bill Zito that there’re zero worry like you might look at those numbers some guys I what we got no that’s why like sometimes you got to dig a little deep on then just look at the numbers under the hood as under the hood the hood I don’t even know how to open the hood in my car who else do we have left singing saying goodbye to wash you’re in your 40s you don’t know how to look under a hood yet oh you’re you’re such a manly man already right I’m betting you I bet you’re [ __ ] changing spare tires all the time was all right do you even have a car I don’t think I’ve ever seen you drive I wasn’t I wasn’t talking about a c Hood Ms what’s looking under the hood whoa I mean wow no what’s looking under the hood I don’t know I’m missing this one you guys don’t know that like guy under the hood little man in the Hood the man of the canoe you don’t you heard that [ __ ] phrase like my dog like my dog my baby maker wow so so you so all you don’t have any [ __ ] satisfaction you [ __ ] Mer’s got it right yeah [ __ ] cliturus that’s all you didn’t you didn’t get that like oh finding the [ __ ] is looking under the hood yeah a little bit yeah well that’s a clitoral hood that covers it over like yeah that’s literally what it’s called little little OBGYN lesson learn something new every day ABS [ __ ] lutely boys if I asked my wife to look under her Hood right now she’d slap me in the face 10 months pregnant yeah I would hope so uh you know what I’m gonna call my uh great-grandmother right now and I’m gonna use a rag and look under her Hood oh oh my God just ruined that all right off to the fire Horizon all right guys before we go any F farther we have to talk about our good friends at Verizon this playoffs has been a blast for me watching the bees beat up on the Toronto Maple Leafs Biz it’s just been an absolute blast but the series isn’t over yet there’s a lot of hockey

boys I mentioned earlier only one handshake line all weekend the ranges did sweep the caps for nothing uh Charlie Linden had a great year but he wasn’t up to Snuff this uh whole playoffs shurin unbelievable Rangers are looking good right now Merles you think they are how far they go Eastern Car finals n cup what a lot of people got do on them yeah they’re they’re looking good the goalie is playing well um wow Eastern Conference Final they’re going to be playing who your Bruins well I mean they’re going to be Carolina first last Carolina shut the [ __ ] the DraftKings already had the odds for Carolina Rangers did you see that oh yeah yeah it was uh Carolina minus 140 did you say yeah Rangers plus 120 yeah I I really like the Rangers I do like them I I would love for New York to to get there but I I would have to say they’re they’re not going to the Eastern Conference Final right now Ari wow no [ __ ] huh um I will say smart of them to win the president’s trophy because they easily had the [ __ ] biggest layup of the first round completely dummied them I think they had just as many short-handed goals as as Washington did Power Play Goals their special teams were cranking panan holy [ __ ] dude this guy’s hammering guys ends up getting the series Clincher um I thought the best player in the series was troch 75% in the face off Circle three goals three assists [ __ ] getting involved physically um they’re just a well oiled machine right now and they look good boys I uh yeah it’s uh it sucks to see um the gazes don’t look very fugazy like right now all uh I’m hoping this big long lingering rest period just helps them completely forget about how to play hockey and then Carolina goes in the next round and waxes them um I don’t really uh I don’t really have much else to say shurin what’ you say shesterkin was at uh as far as his numbers I mean he hasn’t let let in four goals he hasn’t let in four more goals in 27 straight playoff games that’s yeah the the other game he let in three at home that was the first time in a dozen games or something that he let in more than two so he’s he’s he’s dialed in when he gets in that dialed Zone it’s it’s it’s pretty scary as the opposing team um going back to the series amazing first time ever Obie didn’t have a point in a playoff series and and he had nothing uh beginning of the year he had nothing and then he turned it on carbury after the series actually mentioned he thought he was so gassed from dragging him into the playoffs and how well he played probably a little bit of a diplomatic answer right like what r no sorry I’m me to cut you off but we we do got to you know give Spen the cry his props what he did with that team this year man like he was a guy who come out of nowhere a coach and I mean I don’t know if he’s going to be a finalist for the Jack Adams but he should be did an awesome job with those guy sorry but I no that’s okay I think that’s a good point I think he would be top three um but o yeah it was he was invisible he just he just he wasn’t he wasn’t hitting like he usually does he couldn’t even get like his shot shot off you couldn’t get chances you got to give credit to the Rangers suffocating defense they got guys playing up and down that lineup that can just check and score you got you got Rey scoring a goal in game was it game one you got vzy scoring a goal in that series you got everyone producing this will kol coie yeah he’s a good player oh that guy’s nice Wilson in the [ __ ] yeah he gave a little little spear to Wilson Co you gotta now see um they got a chance at getting uh what’s his name back in the lineup the [ __ ] uh concussions injuries check chal chal yeah he I’m the worst name guy he I’m I’m mush brain right now but the rangers they got to be super confident how they look but the Caps I thought one of the coolest things in the series and I could say Maya kulpa on me I didn’t like to hit that paner through but Oshi was on the broadcast with biz on TNT and a guy who’s killed people his entire career he said I didn’t mind the hit and that’s honorable I mean that’s a guy who’s that’s a guy who’s saying no I got run over and and and paner and we already mention like him playing like that is exactly what you want to see as a Rangers Fan and then oh she’s able to eat it yeah I got run over and I didn’t have a problem with the hit you got to commend him for that it just seems [ __ ] Rangers fans had a good laugh at my expense when I teed him up for that to say yeah I’m hoping we get a few more calls and he says oh I actually like the hit I was like [ __ ] I’m going to going to be a m online now cuz these idiot Rags fans coming after me there must have been a 100 quote tweets calling me a clown putting the makeup on me all of it got a shirt with a clown face on you but the the the the Rangers like I’ve always looked up to Chris jury that’s why I’m rooting for the Rangers I love Chris jury’s done a great job there I love the excitement around that team MSG is my favorite place to play at least top three rangers fans are crazy Rangers fans are out there thinking they’re going to beat the canes in five game it’s like buddy like you’re a good team but you haven’t been tested yet you had the easiest route in the first round and while giving credit you took care of business right Carolina has to go to game five that you you didn’t you were able to show up and just wax this team four in a row good for you not much competition but it’s going to get way different next round shesterkin is kind of the game Breer when I look at Carolina though it’s like [ __ ] Anderson looks awesome too so it’s I think that’s going to be an amazing series I mentioned the game they played earlier I think it was February it was like one nothing or 2-1 unbelievable hockey you imagine it’ll be like that for seven games but the Rangers have a lot of momentum right now they got Keandre Miller playing great I thought that trouba’s just being himself he’s hammering guys along the boards Adam Fox who I thought might have got injured there that was a little scary I think Jensen kind of went knee on knee on him he seemed to be okay from that Rangers fans were petrified for a minute but yeah they they have a great team they have a chance to go really far but the competition starts now uh what you know a few years back we used to talk about how many finish goalies they were like they kind of dominated the league for a while like we could talk about the Russia goalies man you know vasilki bosski shesterkin these guys are dominating the playoffs right now I feel like Russian goalies are like you know [ __ ] run the league right now no well Merles were you telling me that story on a podcast or was that in Chicago when we were just hanging out or Minnesota about how the Russian Federation wanted to change up their goal tending issue when you were over there yeah that was way back I think in like 09 when the KHL first started they made a rule that you could if you had you could have five Imports but if you had an import goalie you could only he counted as two because they weren’t getting enough goalies they weren’t developing enough of their own goalies so they made that rule so teams would stop bringing in Imports so it it really turned the whole dynamic of everything so that’s why 2009 15 years ago yeah it makes sense that it worked it does and and you have all these guys that are starring and shurin being the top dog sokin looked great he struggled then you got vasileski and then like this fedotov who’s coming over to Philly now who actually signed a pretty big extension yeah they’re all over the place um you also have I think it’s askarov who’s coming into Nashville I don’t know what’s going to happen with Saros but he’s been lighting up the AHL I believe he was like a top 15 pick for Nashville he was great in Milwaukee so the Russians have done an amazing job producing goal tending Talent now we just got to get him back in this best on best yeah exactly well yeah I forgot St [ __ ] shoving needles up their ass that’s why they’re not playing right’s a lot of they’re all they’re all they’re all renting Tim stapleton’s room when he’s not there that’s why what is it they they still suspended from smoking darts on the plane after they won the gold medal at World Juniors what’s the deal here why AR trying to take back trying to take back Crimea Jesus Christ all right yeah there’s some issues over there in Russia if I offered you a billion dollars would you fly to Russia yes 50 million so you so you die for a billion dollars but you think for sure if I showed up in Russia I’m getting killed I just wonder if got I don’t think it’s worth it for you going there for a billion all I have to do is fly what so you would die like for a billion dollars that like that you I think my wife would be pushing me onto the plan if I made it home I got I mean you know she’d have a new pool boy hey ryer be learning socc [ __ ] too a Russian with a mullet shows up at my house he’s got my heart in his hand still beating somehow yeah but want to play soccer we just killed your family

you did the FDNY NYPD broadcast people were like damn mer cleans up nice you must have slay back in the day are you allowed to talk about it no no this a live show yeah yeah no dude my my old man said how do you think I got my wife how do you think I get the beautiful Swedish wife Biz you know it was took her to the casino and she saw the Merles Casino act she’s like always how did you meet her like like what was did you go to the bar there and just look at them it’s a big it’s a big it’s a big story between us because she I I claim she bought me a shot at the bar but she probably remembers better than I do that I went up to her meet and a guy I was playing with Alex Larson we went up and bought them fisherman shots there was no pink Whitney back then so we were over in Sweden at little bar fisherman shot um I don’t they don’t sell it over here so it kind of tastes you know fisherman friends the cough drops kind of tastes like that okay and um it looks it looks like Jagger so it’s black it’s dark black but it’s got like a coffee or uh cough medicine it’s the best dude complete blackout if dude I’ve been seeing these green teas all over the place for shots but I I mean I have done a green tea shot before that was the cool like instagr thing I feel like it got popular when the word organic popped off you know everything’s got organic on it now it’s like oh do a green tea shot so you’ll get [ __ ] up but yet you know it’s a little bit health these are organic Doritos they’re cool yeah remember the pickle the pickle juice shots were big for a while too yeah have you who the guy who used to crush crushed pickle juice on the bench pickle juice yeah pickle juice mustard all right we’re getting yelled at here boys we had a firing since the last time we met uh David Quinn two years in San Jose they fired him uh 19549 tough session for with that’s going to be a tough gig for a guy to [ __ ] you know take a gig like that he knows not going to be good and then you’re basically getting paid to lose do you think it was a situation where like he wasn’t doing the good job or was just like man they felt bad for him like what’s your take on this one because you know I don’t know I felt bad for Quinny I mean had to be the hardest uh coaching experience he’s ever had it’s hard to put a lot of blame on him with that roster like I don’t what who who would have who would have done better I mean they didn’t they’re defense I don’t know if they had a us we we might Yeah by just like bringing them out every night and them just playing guilty every single game but maybe it was one of those things where now it’s a complete reset and a complete rebuild when he got there I don’t think it necessarily looked like that but they’ve made all these moves since hurdle’s gone and it’s like all right let’s just kind of reset again uh who knows if Will Smith ends up turning out Pro if they end up getting first overall they get celebrini there’s not much in the prospect cupboard board so that’s what’s kind of I think worrisome for a lot of sharks fan is like you don’t even really know what the future’s going to bring they need to win that if the Blackhawks get this first overall pick again what do you mean if they’re getting it you think it’s happening again but they get every outdoor game they get every first overall pick what are you talking they have dirt they have JT on Gary and [ __ ] bill Dy or something if they do if they do it the the league is you think that the backlash towards Mark Stone going on ltir is great if the Hawks get the first overall pick again shark fan should storm the NHL offices but um yeah I don’t know what where Quinny will end up feel bad for him though they had he had nothing to work with it was a long year um he’s going to continue to get paid so it’s almost like you know put him out of his misery doesn’t have to be there and everyone dreams a coach in the NHL I’m sure really hard to find out you’re getting fired but that was uh I don’t know if his staff got fired if the assistants got fired Ryan wasowski couple others I think they stayed on as of right now yeah they we’ll see what happens with the new guy hire maybe they end up hiring Ryan wasowski who I’ve known for a long time his brother Dave played in the NHL a bit um but yeah a very bad team a team that at some point they looked at like we need to just lose and lose and lose and give ourselves the best odds at celebrini and Quinny ends up being the sacrificial lamb talking about uh [ __ ] draft picks like the devil’s actually tried to sign uh what’s his name uh kovalev yeah Kovalchuk to a a market deal and then lost a [ __ ] first round draft pick then what the Blackhawks did they lost nothing they got B dad and now they might get celebrini look I’m not a blackhaw h a wi but that’s [ __ ] insane when you say that out loud right that the fact that Kovalchuk I mean they didn’t they weren’t trying to like like rewrite the rules Koval Chuck was a [ __ ] Superstar they tried to give him a good deal and they lost draft pick it’s like oh blackhaw wh him by the graveyard nothing [ __ ] crazy man look at this Dole yeah all right we had to go there uh Amazon Prime video B is not sure if you heard this one they are going to be the exclusive home for NHL regular season games on Mondays for the next two seasons up in Canada did you catch this no oh it’s just in Canada I didn’t know that yeah yeah [ __ ] yeah well it’s a big deal I mean you know basically like CU you know uh what’s it Rogers has had the deal for the last 12 years $5.2 million deal I don’t know if they’re like subsidizing or giving off to [ __ ] uh Prime here what I think either way the more people who watch uh the games Biz wi is better I mean I’ve been bitching about this for so long now the blackouts the the like [ __ ] people not being able to watch the product I don’t get it I don’t get why why they ban it why they don’t let the the [ __ ] uh Clips go out but hopefully this is a little a little start to the better no I I I like it it’s kind of the um the American approach snapping it around to ESPN and TNT it just helps for the growth of the game and and may I don’t know maybe it’ll be a different look panel I haven’t got any type of information on it I personally love going back up to Canada a little bit in working so I like snapping around between uh hockey KN and Canada and uh and working with Sports Net so I from my understanding it’s a it’s in a a little bit of a collaboration with sportset but Amazon will be um in charge of kind of running all the operations yeah like it won’t be ran like Sports Net so so not the same staff and people on the on the panel possibly yeah it’s gonna be new people yeah new people so I’m interested to see if if they create like a different look right everybody’s got their look ESPN does it a certain way um uh TNT obviously does a hockey night in Canada they got Ron mlan and all those Legends there and you know he’s a he’s a poet itself so it’s great it’s all different and it’s all great for the growth of the game and guys I will say if I’m taking one major sports obviously football is in a different world um I don’t know if you guys saw the numbers based on just their their NFL drafts and the amount the amount of money it brings to cities and how many people what 225,000 people for there dud the the group of people in Detroit I couldn’t going there and the people going to the second round of the NFL draft it went back like 600 rows it looked like in Detroit bun and they didn’t even have that high of a pick yeah so the the but as far as major sports leagues I think that hockey is on a heater right now and these types of situations and expanding it as far as networks and onair talent and bringing more hawk action is awesome and I think shining more light on the game will just help with the growth of it and especially from the different network standpoint so I could be more thrilled to be a part of this game and where it’s heading right now and especially with the amount of talent that’s coming in the league because as we’ve talked about many times the talent level the skill level and it just keeps amplifying year over year over year what these guys can do on the ice absolutely or kale a cars please and in talking about umadi and broadcasting it kind of Segways into a tough loss for the game the Canadian game and even Americans who were able to experience Bob Cole ra I know you can go into that what an amazing announcer in person that that guy was what a run he had yeah uh Bob Cole Hockey Night in Canada just an absolute legend of the game uh passed away at 90 years old I mean Biz I I think we should probably defer to you you grew up listening to this guy like I mean he was basically the soundtrack to to your childhood and some of your adulthood no like I like this amount of memories that this guy created calling games and he he would sing it would like he would sing the broadcast he would do it by himself he would bring in a little piece of paper and that’s all he needed for Preparation he was a natural buddy he would have like a little sheet he didn’t need all the these Pages everywhere he would just watch and he was just a natural and and the the amount of Joy he brought to the game and I mean it’s hard for me to speak on it because you know I was still pretty young Young when he was doing it I mean obviously up until the later years but like listening to Wayne and all these other guys who were actually playing at the time where he was at the peak of his career and to do it for 50 years he was the soundtrack to hockey for five [ __ ] decades guys and just handled himself with absolute class and it’s just such a a loss to the hockey world and and the word goat gets thrown around a lot but he will go down as the goat as far as broadcasters the way that he was able to deliver hockey and uh I mean the the the amount of of uh Phil bour from the Pittsburgh Penguins when Mario Lemieux had that amazing goal when he walked the Minnesota northstars he posted about that and just getting to go on social media and and you know listen to everybody talk about their interactions with them or or what moment stuck out stuck out and and popped out in their mind to them so um obviously rest in peace and uh there’ll never be one like Bob Cole I Remember um when I moved to Ann Arbor to for the national program uh my billets Dave and doy lineb great people he used to work the Penalty Box door for Michigan games um well they got CBC in Detroit in the Detroit area in an arbor and I got to you know watch the the hockey night and Canada games and just hearing this guy you’re like this is just different than back home I was what 17 turning 18 and like oh my God like the way he announced the game the way he kept it so simple he just he was so good at like bringing the story to you like you’re watching but you’re not you’re not like oh this guy’s talking too much but when he said things how we announced goals it was incredible and even for All American kids I think they’ll agree like when you get to play a Hockey Night in Canada game and if you ever got interviewed and you got the towel and you knew Bob Cole was doing the game it just meant something it meant something a little bit more awesome to see Crosby um I don’t know when he recorded he went to the Penguins practice or rig facility and spoke on him and he meant to the game and and how much he mattered and I believe before AR you know better before Bob Cole it was Foster hwit he was he was the legendary broadcaster so Canadians went from Foster hwit to Bob Cole these two Legend broadcasters who were just masterful at playby play and making hockey which is a religion in Canada just that much better and greater to watch because of these voices and so rest in peace what an amazing job he did and what an awesome time it was for me first getting to experience him calling a game and and realizing how much bigger the game felt when Bob Cole was doing the game and doing The Cup finals and just hearing his goal announce oh baby it was just it was awesome so here and he passed away 90 years old D I think everyone would would take 90 if you were given the option right now so rest in peace wow well said W man yeah I I just wish we could got more hockey in Canada here that’s why the is awesome man because we do get it and I make sure I always watch the Canadian feed just as same here the commentary is better the play bypl is better everything’s better

right boys uh we have one last note here you you guys are familiar with the movie goon right I’ve talked about it here my buddy Jay barell had a lot to do with it well a lot of people don’t know that was based on a book it was a book uh called uh well I don’t know if it was called goon it was not a huge seller it was about Doug Smith who was a guy from uh ARA NEC ofs Biz um with I’m sorry and [ __ ] Jay and uh his buddy Evan bought the rights of this book they made goon well Doug Smith he’s a handsome police officer with he uh donated one of his kidneys to a good friend of his uh uh John fesio the other day so I want to acknowledge him he’s a big part of the hockey Community dude the movie goon is based on this guy the guy I don’t think he played hockey until high school he ended up playing the AHL he was a fighter because he was that good of a fighter Biz that he was able to get to that level so you know he’s a big like you know hockey movie community so uh Doug what you did is an awesome thing I mean it’s a huge thing to donate a kitty to anybody so uh it’s a a very Noble gesture he did so he just want to give him a little shout out for that win you know awesome how about also I don’t think we ever mentioned um the story of uh Aaron portzline the reporter for the Blue Jackets he got a new kidy and it was a a woman who works for the Blue Jackets who gave who gave him you know one of hers Lindsay Noel what a story that is and I guess it shows how much he’s meant to being around the Blue Jackets that long that someone that worked for the team was inspired to help him out that was all Al a cool story in donating a kidney to someone I’m so glad you brought that up because we talked about that when you know when when he was getting sick and he mentioned he was looking for a donor and um I I I wasn’t aware of that so I’m glad you brought that up with man that’s awesome that’s that’s a great little little addendum to the story uh and also Biz one more the coyotes they uh well I don’t know what they’re gonna be called in Utah but they showed up in Utah they got to look at the building that was insane yeah what a what a what a uh what a place what a place what a JW by Ryan Smith to get everybody there and uh and a warm welcome and very difficult situation everything I’m hearing is this guy’s complete first class and uh already having that type of support in a new NHL City it’s remarkable uh the amount of people that have committed to season tickets and uh each of those players after dealing with all they’ve dealt with over the past couple years not knowing what their future lies they know that they’re going to have a home and and uh an ownership group that they can count on so uh incredible job in a difficult situation from Gary bman and everybody at the league finding this alternative and making it all work uh in such a short amount of time because I think this was all whipped together in the last like four months finally realizing that marillo wasn’t going to get anything done in Arizona based on the fact that nobody trust him in his business dealing so um great job Ryan Smith and very happy sorry what do you mean a angel what do you mean well they’re like oh five years you can come back if you got an arena we’re waiting for you so I mean no no I mean I think that’s from a a legal standpoint they’re saying all that I don’t I don’t think there’s I don’t think it’s happening I don’t think it’s happening so uh did you guys see the videos of uh it was pretty cool so they had the players up on stage and they had them all introduce themselves just like hey I’m Clayton Keller I play forward I’m from this place did you guys see uh Liam O’Brien tuna yeah he did a great like a WWE spicy my name is Le Brown and you guys can call me spicy tuna we a man bun to get this place just just the difference in like playing in like the mullet compared to like it looked like there was like 15,000 people there meeting these guys and then like going n to they must have felt like holy [ __ ] this is the best thing that’s ever happened to us who’s this crazy Ginger genius move by him because he’s he’s an unrestricted free agent so he comes out oh we gotta have him he’s gonna have his own role at every sushi place in town seven-year deal coming for the spicy tuna can’t get rid of him now he just took over the whole city oh [ __ ] all right guys well great show we’ll be back to you Wednesday at noon M got something else he got some pick sorry M picks picks picks I see the chat here I’ve been following the chat all day

"mAYbE TheY tuRN iT oN" hahahaha C'mon Biz stop it.
Thank you Whit for always talking about the rangers without bias and giving them credit. Only guy on the pod who does
Imagine torts in Toronto
Who knew two AI bears would break the internet
Biz’s rant on Marner is epic😂😂😂
Biz really needs to stop saying Marcha..
I love whit saying live????? Before every ad 😂😂😂
Great work guys another good pod. Look forward to every Tuesday. Keep up the good work!
But Mathews doesn’t have it in the ploffs….
Jets fan here, I’ve been backing the jets core the whole time they’ve been here and always had hope they could get it done. But the jets have truly proven they don’t have what it takes, they honestly have to blow it up. They just don’t have the right kind of guys, these guys could be great somewhere else but they’re not a winning team as constructed. I’m really not sure there’s an untouchable on the nhl roster outside of Josh Morrisey.
Sorry but I have an opposite take on ESPN and TNT in the game. TNT not so bad but fucking ESPN broadcasts are horrendous. Gender aside you could hire a rock to do a better job than Leah Hextall and AJ Mlezko
Toronto is so goddamn chachee. The core four is so bad.
Can somebody please tell @ESPN to get rid of Subban as a commentator and bring on another one of the chiclets boys?
I don’t dislike the guy and I know he was a decent player. He’s just a terrible commentator. Brings no value to the broadcast.
The disrespect to CMac in Colorado is wild. He is the guy running it right now, not Joe
It's pronounced Seelovz
Silovs-
Didn't this clown pick The Leafs to win the east? How does this guy have any credibility left? Whenever I see this guy on TV or the internet, I'm turning it off. Next video.
Rest in peace Bob Cole ❤️
Yes learn will cuylle name he is a gamerrr
Murls 0/3 on His Q. Hughes take, then he said Tampa and Vegas. Come on Murls. -3 in 1 pod. Brutal
these guys obv aint watching the jets play. what happened in the third ? they took 12 mins of penalties with a 5 on 3. back to back to back.
“chai-dl” naah 😭 its “khee-til”
The hersey bears would have been more competitive against the rangers…
The oilers had 4 first round picks in a 6 year span and was only the highest lottery odds twice. But yea the league is rigging it for the Hawks
Before we do, let’s have a word from our friends over at gametime. Alright everybody let’s have a few words from our friends over Gametime. Figure it out dork.
The leafs were not up in that series. RA is hammered
1) You don't win cups with Mexicans
2) Matthews quit on the team in the third period. He heard booing and he decided he did not want to wear the jersey anymore, he abandoned the team.
You CANNOT WIN WITH that.
Keefe’s legacy in Toronto:
– Losing to a 42 year old Zamboni driver who works for them
– Getting embarrassed in a play-in bubble playoffs.
– Twice losing to a COVID ravaged Canucks team.
– Blowing a 5-1 lead to the last place Senators
– Dropping Freddie for Jack Campbell in 2021 but sticking with Samsonov in 2024.
– Blowing a 3-1 series lead to Montreal because Galchenyuk was your best hope.
– game 7 2022 and game 5 2023.
– getting embarrassed by Marner anytime he tries to discipline him
– all of the above was done AT HOME
Sorry Whit they are no longer "Your Oilers" you jumped ship.
Spec has always had the same formula. He has built a great career by doing what he does. He isn't that insightful, he isn't that knowledgeable, but he attracts readers with his salacious (often unfounded) opinions.
Wtf are these guys talking about
PRIME doesnt "grow the game"
…NOT EVERYONE HAS PRIME !!!
Tiktok hockey
I’ll say That I do think The Rangers will beat Carolina regardless but if The Isles push it another game then I think it will be easier beating the canes. They’re down two really important key players and The Rangers will be well rested. Rangers also have more and better depth.
RA thinking you will die if you step foot in russia is peak American propaganda
RA is disturbing
As a Rangers fan, anyone that thinks the next round will be a cakewalk is an idiot. That being said with Shesty Panarin Zibanejad Kreider Trocheck and company playing the way they are I definitely think they'll take it in 6 and have a good chance at the cup this year.
Leafs core are soft as charmin
Silvos is pronounced "She – Lawves"
Biz's 2 comments on why Russia hasn't competed in best on best tournaments. Hahaha.
Verizon is POS!
The leafs took Ian Scott above swayman, yes. Scott was the CHL goalie of the year and had to retire due to injuries at like 23 years old. Swayman was playing for U Maine. Context matters but never on this pod 😂
Biz jealous of Nylander..a real hockey player..
35:34 "This is your core", "TikTok hockey, baby" Oh, boy
