of everything that happened in the games. And what happened to Friday? Folks, you've seen it before. You'll see it again. We've got a hungover Chris Powers. As always. Oh, God, dude. You are an absolute pathetic piece of shit.

This is irresponsible. I told you. What did I tell you? I told you. No. I told you. There are so many things that I will not accept from you. And you trying to act at all

like you had even an ounce. of responsibility last night is not something I will accept. What do you mean? What do you mean? You were at the King's game going, I'm going to black out to me. You said that. You're almost 40.

Are you almost 40? That is actually all true. When this guy turns 40, we're not going to have a birthday party for him. We're going to take him to... Betty Ford. Yeah. We're going to have an intervention.

But it's all my great, that's all my friends though. Everyone's there, right? Yeah. We're all going to be there. We're going to drink there. Everyone's there. Because we're going to have to wean you off. Well, that's what, isn't that right?

Like, isn't, at the interventions, you always let them do, like, one more. No. Yeah. What are you talking about? I think that's right. I think you go, here you go. This is the last one. I love that you think that.

I love that in your mind, that's what happens. That is what happens No Where do you want to start Chris We're going to go on your pace today There are people in the live show right now In the chat Waiting to talk about hockey

Sabers, let's start Sabres Okay Let's start Sabres Someone says the fact that you chose What time is so funny Like this is up to us No it isn't That's the thing

Hey, it's not up to me. CW. That's what you think. Do you think that I would fucking be here if it was up to me? Oh, my God. I would be fucking dead. My car is at Vons. Zach.

It's been at Vons for three days. It's probably fucking towed. It's insane how good. Don't tell the Vons people your cars. Yeah. Yeah, true. Literally. Like, we can't let Vons know that Chris's car.

They're going to tow it now. Like, my car was at Vons. bonds. It isn't at bonds. It was at bonds. It is now at a impound lot. It's at an impound lot and fucking dirty Mike and the boys are having a fucking orgy

in the back seat. That's what's happening. Thanks for the F-Shack. There's raccoon semen in there. There's a lot going on in your car. They call that a soup kitchen. Yeah, they call that a soup kitchen. Thanks for the F-Shack

Signed Dirty Mike in the Boys That's what's going on in your car Buffalo Sabres Boston Bruins That's where we're starting folks The Sabers Abs we're gonna actually talk Has anyone given him water?

No I have not Do you want me get your water? No Evan no no no no no I don't deserve it Agree I don't deserve it Yeah but you might die You might

The Sabres absolutely fucking piss pumped the Bruins. Sway gets yanked. They score four goals in 20 fucking minutes. Oh, actually had a cool stat about this. So conceptually, Dan, this is what's frustrating. Swayman gets yanked and fucking gives it to the boys on the bench. I've never liked anything more than the way Sway yelled at the bench. Actually, I take that back.

the only thing I liked more was Charlie McAvoy's answer in the locker room. What do you say? McAvoy, I think with what has happened, what happened? What happened? Nothing. Nothing.

I think with what has happened to McAvoy's mouth this year. He hasn't had time. He has just made a decision to be like, I don't give a fuck anymore and I'm going to just say whatever's on my mind. He said something like, if we're not embarrassed after that performance,

I don't know what the fuck to tell you. He is so real. and like just so honest and open with the media now. It's fucking awesome. But yeah, man, that was a, listen, there's two things. The Buffalo Sabres are an absolute wagon. The way they turned it on the second after the year. That's unbelievable stuff from Dr. Watkins.

Where'd you even find that? Look at that, dude. The Penguins win and all of a sudden Dr. Watkins is a lot of against. I've been looking. I'm embracing. the piss. Because I found out that they can't change their jersey in the first they can't They made a choice too.

You made the choice and you know, have you ever been with a woman likes to be peed on? Jesus Christ. It's Monday born. Listen, I haven't. It's Monday. But if you. It's fucking Monday. I haven't.

Will you calm down? I'm just saying if you ever been, Chris looks like he was with a woman that liked to be peed on last night. No, it was me. He peed on himself. I am that woman. Like that monkey. He's pissing his mouth.

Dude, Chris got home last night and went up to his fiance and went like this. Have you ever done wet work? So my point is, listen, if I've never had that happen. If I was in love with the person, I would say, yeah, I will not yuck your yum. And that's, and I love my penguin. So you know what? They made the choice. I'm embracing the piss.

We won a game. We're going to fucking, you know what, Sid? Sid's like, you know what I want to put on my resume? The reverse sweep. He's never done it. and now he's going to do it. Yeah, he sure did. Boom.

Dude. Can you, like, can you contribute to the show, please? Yeah, I got this great stat. I got a great stat, dad. In, fuck his website. In the last 16 playoff games, first way, the last 16 games,

he has a 9-24 save percentage in the playoffs, and the Bruins are 7 and 9 in those games. That is a fucking joke, if you are getting that level of goalie play. Dude, and what pissed me off And dude, to get that goalie play And then that record is so unacceptable And what pissed me off is remember when the bees lost to Florida

On their way to winning the cup And Paul Maurice after was like, I've seen a lot of good ones Yeah, but you know that was incredible Jesus Christ The The At least then that was the narrative And I feel like right now it's not the narrative

Like nobody was going like oh my God, the bees are so good. Or the bees are losing to a better team, but Sway has been incredible. I need more people talking about that because he has been incredible, and the bees are porous defensively right now. It is insane. Yeah.

Yeah, I actually think I was very impressed with online, with the internet machine last night, because Sway, I mean, they gave up six goals, and Sway got yanked. And then he beaked the bench. And I didn't see, like, anyone being like, fucking swaying, yelling at the bench. Maybe don't give up that many goals, dude. The world was like, holy fuck.

The Bruins team was asleep at the wheel. It was very much a collective opinion that the bees came out and were absolutely horrendous last night. Dude, how many times on this live have we talked about turnovers in your own zone? in playoffs. If you turn the puck over, you get fucking scored on every time. It is crazy. I feel like I would have PTSD

if I were on this Bruins team. Because it's not just been the playoffs. It's been all season. If I had the puck in the defense zone, if I had the puck in the D zone and I was on this Bruins team, I think I would fucking take a delay of game. I would fire that puck.

I said, over the glass, dude. Just get it out before I turned it over. because every time the Bruins turn it over in their D-Zone, immediate goal. And it happens once a game. I would literally be screaming. I'd be screaming ice it every time we touched it in our end. And because a couple of those, you'd probably flubbed by accident,

and it wouldn't be icing. And then you could change. It could change. It has got, I can't imagine the conversation is going on during tape. And going back watching the game, Marco Stern and the coaching staff must be like, So here, as you can see, we had another irresponsible D-Zone turnover. And then watch this.

Goal. Fast forward. And hey, and wouldn't you know it? Hey. They scored again. Dude, that game, I love. Love matinee hockey. Oh, my God, dude.

It's amazing. Do you not like it? I always thought the players don't like it. Is that true? They don't. But as a viewer, you're saying you prefer. As a viewer. Oh, yeah, yeah.

As a player, I did not like it. It's awful. Right, because it fucks up your whole. Yeah, the whole routine gets absolutely fucking wonk job. It's unbelievable. As a human viewer, as a fan, I love matinee hockey. I just think it's like, what a great excuse to sit back, crack a drink, do whatever, and just like pop on some hockey. It's amazing

I What? Nothing Keep going Please I went up I went up to the pool Yesterday I popped on the TV Upstairs

I got I got some sun It's a little windy yesterday Which was kind of nice Like when it's sunny And you can get some sun But it's also windy So you're not sweating sack That's kind of a nice day

I pop on the game I got a nice bowl of freshly cut strawberries cut by your boy turn on the game five minutes in it's fucking three nothing and I went

well I guess I'll read a book because this game is over game is over conceptually in this series I said to you we were talking about this yesterday I think

you're a piece of shit dude oh dude I am so much worse than that I am you're pond scum you are such a bad guy I am the scum of the earth. Zach, have you, have you, have you, have you figured this out yet with him? For those who can't, oh, there he is.

Yeah, I must say, I think, I think I figured it out a little bit, all right? Yeah, he's a good guy. Hey, Zach and I, Zach and I were at the fucking craps table till 5 a.m. He knows. That's true. We were. And I, and I had a great time. Actually, Zach's, like, first social situation with you was in Vegas.

Yeah. And the fact that he still works here is insane. Because, hey, he hasn't quit. Because Zach and I clawed out of the gutter together. And we fought. We fought. We fought. You guys did fight.

And you forget that if you just fight a little bit, then something incredible can happen. You and Zach truly have like a war time relationship. Like you guys met in the trenches and you battled together. So actually, this might be your best friend. That's my best guy right there. Yeah. We're together. Yep.

But he does. But he does know. that scene from the Walking Dead where he goes, I know the man you are. That is Zach. Yes, correct. You can't fool Zach.

Zach knows. Zach knows that you are a fucking deviant piece of shit. I need everyone to know that you are just an awful, awful guy. And he knows. But I love him for it, though.

I love him for it though. He knows, dude. He knows. You know, guys. They're like 80th, 85th, 85th infantry, 85th Air Force. And the guy's like, seven. What unit did you serve it? Yeah.

It's that sec. It's me and Zach. What unit did you serve in? Uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, the, the, the wind craps table. Four a.m. Yeah. Yeah. Right.

Uh, the bees had no fight did. And this is what I wanted to say to you. The conceptually in this series, mm-hmm. When you were like, everyone that thought Boston could win, or that was picking boss and it's ridiculous Buffalo is so good

blah blah blah but I was saying to you I don't think I use the word The goalies The goalie play for both teams Was why I think Or certainly I

But I think people were being like The Bruins could win this series Buffalo is great No one is any Or people are saying They're not good Those people are dumb Anyone that it doesn't think

Buffalo is awesome Is wrong But Boston I was like Man you just get sway And you get that playup experience versus the Buffalo goalie situation who I think even you admit you're like they don't have a

like a guide in goal that you're like that's their dog they're like whatever we'll play all we'll play three guys but Boston has gotten the goalie play like I was like the Bruins

I picked Bruins in seven because Sway was going to be great and I said it's the only way they can win if they were down three when I was going to say Sway is probably just giving you like a B plus and you're losing Sway is giving you everything

I cannot believe the Bruins are down 3-1 while getting the only thing I thought they needed to win the series. They got it and they're still getting fucking pumped. And well, listen, I don't think they're getting obviously last, yesterday was crazy. To see that that type of a performance, I mean, we saw it game one Minnesota Dallas, right? The Minnesota absolutely fucking tallywacked Dallas. And it was shocking.

Everyone was like, what the fuck just happened? We saw that yesterday. I mean, the home crowd was booing the team in the first period. When they were down for nothing, deservedly. But it was just like, it was a crazy, crazy asleep at the wheel performance. Because it was 11 a.m. Pacific. Yeah. People hadn't even had their call.

You love them that day. The players, it fucked us. It was so bad. I think what's crazy about that game in addition to, yeah, listen, this series I thought was going to be a goalie battle. in terms of if Boston can win this series it was going to be if Sway puts out a fucking elite performance and he's doing that. That's what's crazy. I have

said multiple times a lot of Bruins fans came into this series being like this is a fucking toss up like you know this is a this is a battle this is two good teams which it is but they were like this is a toss up

and I think the inexperience of the Buffalo Sabres made people go they don't know what's coming in playoffs which does happen to team which does happen and we talk about all the time Alec Martinez is on this show and talks about how there are playoff teams and regular season teams there there was always the fear for Sabres fans like are they ready for playoffs here's my thing I think we found that out game one that they were ready. They went down 2-0

nothing early and then in the third period late they fucking ripped in a million goals and won game one. That should have woken up everyone to the fact that the playoffs are not too big for them. They can handle this pressure. They are ready for this new season.

They fucking won that first game. Everyone went, oh my God, you have Jeremy Swamen pitching a fucking perfect game. You have this Bruins team all over you. And they won that game. So I'm so crazed by Bruins fans being like, we should be up in this series. Well, this is, I can't believe we're down 3-1 with everything that's happened.

What do you mean with everything that's happened? I don't give a fuck when you score goals. Buffalo scored goals in that third period in game one. Many of them end one. And then game two, Boston gets a big lead again. Great. You then gave up goals in the third period. But you held off.

Sway needing to fucking call timeouts for the coach. He's like, hey, dickhead, do you realize what, like, we've seen this story before. Maybe fucking get the boys settled. And then game three, you lose, I don't want to say emphatically, but like Buffalo won game three in every level of the game. And then last night or yesterday, matinee, they fucking beat the wheels off you. So any Bruins fans who's being like, I can't believe this, we should be up in the series. at best, you should be tied to two, two.

And realistically, game one, again, I don't care when the goals were scored. Buffalo beat you. This series is 3-1 because Buffalo won the Atlantic and was the second best team in the Eastern Conference this season and is rolling that play right into the playoffs. And their fucking great players are red-hot. And this is what it is.

They were the best team. Everyone knows the stat at this point. They were the best team in the league from December 9th. That's a long time ago. From December 9th on, they literally have the best record in the league. Everyone's stroking the abs off. I'm like literally the Sabres have the best record in the league from December 9th on. They are proving it right now.

Actually, I kind of love this goalie play that they're getting in this series. And it's a perfect time to iron this out as you murder the Bruins. and I want to say this too The bees This is this is the nature of playoffs Dude and you're you're right Like if you score more goals than me You win the game and that's all that matters

But man the Bruins Think about this The second Tanner Ginoe scored In game three to go one nothing at home The Bruins have to be thinking We should have won game one We murdered that We should have won game one

In that brief moment, we murdered them game two on the road. That is definitely the confidence that they have. And we're now winning game three. Yeah. One nothing. And they must have been going. We are literally going to beat the Sabres in five because we're going to obviously win our two home games. And then we'll just go back to Buffalo.

Is that crazy? Where I have no issue pounding them because I've pounded them for five and a half period. Isn't that crazy? And now they're going to lose in five. And I'm like, oh, hold on. I think this Bruins team is fantastic. And they have every. every capability of winning

Game 5. They have every capability of winning game 6. But I think it's time that fans stop talking about the Sabres as if they're the Sabres from the last 15 years. They're good. They are a fucking

great team and goalie play was really kind of always going to be the question and UPL, I'm sorry he was not great in games 1 and 2 and Alex Lion is coming and answer the fucking bell. He's calling people fucking losers. He's calling people losers, Chris. Why did he do that?

I think he did that chat. Let us know. I'm pretty sure he did that after RV's shootout. Yeah, I think so. He was like, you're a fucking loser. And I was like, that is the most savage shirt. Zach, can you imagine coming down on a shootout in a game? And then the goalie, you just got saved by, looks at you, takes off his mask, and goes, you're a fucking loser.

Dude, it would be heartbreaking. I don't know. You can't come back from that. I don't know if I could take another shot on net. I would be like, what? I'm a loser? Victor Arbitson for the rest of that game must have been like this. I literally have to score.

I'm a loser. Yeah. I realize. I'm a loser. God damn. That was crazy. Okay. Last thing on this series, I do think. I always said this.

If the Bruins don't score first next game. Night night. No, no, no. I don't think night night. Do you think a night night, Evan? Well, I'm just going to call him a loser again. Yeah, yeah. Loser.

Dude, I Loser. Yes. If Buffalo Chris, if Buffalo scores first in game five, the amount of shit talk that I would be heaving

onto the Bruins if I were on that Buffalo team would be astronomical. This Buffalo team should make this their thing. Like for the rest of the playoffs, they should just start calling everyone of the team losers. Dude, if they score,

they should just sleep by swimming and go, loser. You're a fucking loser. Don't say that. Everybody they talk to. That should be their only shirt for the rest of the class. There was a old school Bruins fans will know this.

In the, I think it was the, I was saying like they'll know this and I'm not even sure what it was. You don't know. It was in the Blues 2019 Cup in Game 7. The cup that should all be named. Yes. They gave up a goal and someone on the Blues skated by the bench and went, oh, you're fucking dead now. And it was the most clear lip read of all time. I forget who said it,

but it was so, it was such a clean lip read, and it was also the truest thing that has ever been said in the history of hockey. Like, he was just like this, oh, dude, you're fucking dead now.

And, like, you could see the Bruins bench being like, oh my God. We are. We are dead. We are losers.

So, yeah, I mean, like Buffalo, this is ammo for Buffalo. If you score first in game five, you need to beak. Yep.

And just fucking bury, bury the morale of that team. But it's, listen, I think I picked Buffalo in six in this series. This could easily go seven, and Bruins could win. That's how good this Bruins team is. They are a very good team. But I think what we're seeing so far, and certainly yesterday, is that people continue to underestimate the Buffalo group.

And I think that that is a huge mistake. I always say this. I hate being the higher seed. in these situations because it feels like game five is nearly must win, which is ridiculous because you're up through one. But I'm like, God, if you lose game five at home because Boston has their backs against the wall. Yeah. And then they come home to Boston where they haven't won yet.

And they go, obviously we're winning a home game. Yeah. Then it's game seven. And I'm like, I'm going to fucking kill myself. So I actually think there is weird stress on Buffalo being the high seed in this situation. I could absolutely see them losing this game tonight. Because I'm like, oh, man. And then you know.

Totally. And then all of a sudden, you're like, oh, fuck. But I do think the fact that they are underestimated means that puts them in a really good position overall. If they get past Boston, then I think it puts them in a great position. Because they are, people do, like you said, Dan, like think of them now. 100%. The one thing I disagree with it, I don't think they say, oh, fuck. If it goes to seven, they go, oh, fuck.

Well, sure. Everyone does. But I don't know, man. Like, I just don't. And this is not me doubting Boston. Like, I want, I don't want anyone to clip this and go, Joe, Bluth killed Earl Milton. But I am saying, like, I don't think this Buffalo team is, like, easily rattled.

Do you like that? Did you like that arrest development callout? Dude, he's neither seen nor heard. He's a built-in bat. I do. I'm just saying if Boston wins this game, which they're absolutely capable of, I don't think Buffalo is shitting down their leg. I think they're like, okay.

Come on next game. Okay, what do we got next? Avs Kings. Avs kings. Avs kings. I believed... Here's a question. Are...

Uh-oh. Rest of the Western Conference. Uh-oh. Oh. Yes. Okay. So here's a question. Did anyone on this planet see how good Cal McCarr was last night?

Yeah. Cal McCar. Yesterday. Yesterday. Yesterday. Yeah. Dale McCar drank unicorn blood on Saturday night. I cannot believe how good that human being is at hockey.

He drank unicorn blood. And dude, when he is going, obviously Nate is incredible, is incredible at hockey. And when Nate is firing at all cylinders, it literally feels like a fucking bull has been let loose in the China shop. and you're like, this is, just let it happen. Can we have a conversation about that real quick? Sorry. Yep. Everyone watching this episode, I am so sorry for what you're seeing.

But we're just, we are, you know, we're doing it today. It's Monday. We're, you know, I hate Mondays. Do we think. Is that Garfield? Yeah. Well, it was. It was Hannibal Burris doing Garfield from the movie Neighbors.

Yeah. Is what I just did. He makes the kid. it right yeah he makes Jared Carmichael do it you hate Mondays yeah he's like I'm just fucking what you do I know your high as fuck um do we think that there was ever an actual bull in a china shop ooh there must have been actually Zach I I have to believe that has that happened at least once you yeah I think it is crazy I'm looking this up dude and someone went like this

Oh, oh no. They went like this. Is that a bull? Exactly. How did a bull get in here? And then the China shop was absolutely just polarized. And they went, well,

we know we can't let that happen again. People were like, when Nate is going, that's what it's like, but when Kale is going, their whole team gets more dangerous. Nate is like, he is dangerous when he's,

bullying, but when Kail is going, all of a sudden, everyone else. Kail, he makes everyone else so good. Looks like, his start and stop hockey is so insane. The way he break, like, he will break the ankles of some of the best players in the league at will. And it's just insane. And he is, who called him last night? Someone called him a silent assassin last night.

Last night, not yesterday This was last night Okay He is a silent assassin In that Like how many times have I said on this show I think there's a legitimate argument That he is the best player in the NHL

Yeah Like Connor is Connor But Kale To do what he does From the blue line And to be as good at defense As he is well

Also being a like Literally a 100 point guy what's happening Evan I'm just I'm just looking at the screen it's it's behind us it's making me nervous it's unbelievable it's actually unbelievable

watching that man play hockey and you know credit to an abs fan found a tweet of ours from the beginning of the series and I was like I said this was me who tweeted this

I can't tell this but to be a good tweet or bad no I said the aves better win in five or less with how much hype they have going into these playoffs. And we were saying with Marty the longer this series goes the worst of the abs because it was like oh now they're thinking about it now they were expected

to win and they went like this dismissed. Well they won in four and here's the big thing all of the talk about how frustrating the Kings were how much they were like making it tight shutting down the power play shutting down Kale and Nate

well game four honestly it felt rude Yeah Yeah game four felt rude Yep Like the abs were like Oh you guys thought you were in this You were frustrating us

The power play wasn't going Get fucked They then turned on everything Yep Nate multiple goals Power play goal Power play goal Kale

Like everyone was going Because dude we were doing the thing Like we were going Well you know you just win game four And then and then you steal game five Then you come home You're winning game six Now it's game seven.

Anything can happen. We were doing that mental gymnastics. Revolutions. Revolutions. Above the shoulders, mustard shit. And then they went like this. We are going to murder you. Please enjoy your weekend.

Correct. So, yeah. This Aves team is fucking insane. And you can call this loser talk. I don't think it's loser talk. We remember when we were having a conversation about the bolts when we were down in Tampa game two and They've lost in the first round a couple of years in a row and we were like but they have lost to the Stanley Cup winning team

Like people forget people the idiots at the beginning of the season were like you maybe you should fire John Cooper Well you've lost to the team that wins the cup Yep right People who want to give the king shit about the Oilers the last two years you've lost to the team in the Western Conference that's gone to the shop. Right. And I'm saying right now, might have just happened again. I think it might be three years in a row now. Like, you are, you have somehow in the first round ran into the buzzsaw that is the team in the West that's going to the cup. And I'm sorry, man, how many conversations do we have about Scott Wedgwood? And is like, not doubt, question Scott Wedgwood has been one of the best goalies all year. He's a top five

Vesna goalie. How much of that is the team that's in front of of him because people want to talk about this offense all day long. They forget about the fact that this is also the best penalty kill in the league. This is a top three defense in the league. Is Scott Wedgwood going to come into the playoffs and be amazing? In his

first test, he was amazing. Like, he gave them nothing. These guys were coming down, getting looks, and they saw nothing. No openings, no goals, no easy options. The goals that the king got were like, I mean, you had to

fucking earn it. This guy has been unbelievable. I look at this Avs team and I'm like, who the fuck is beating them? Even Dallas, Minnesota. Like, who is beating this team? Okay. A couple of things on that. The, I asked you if you felt like this was

a dream series for the Aves, especially considering the other ones probably going seven. Yeah. Um, this feels like did you want, did you want a sweep or did you want to maybe lose a game? Sometimes I'm like, I want some adversity here. Like, I would like to lose two Yeah, see how we react.

Sure. I think, though, if you're the abs, you actually are really happy because the Kings did fight. So every year, you're in a tight one. Every game, you have an OT win, whatever. Yeah. And you got some great Wedgwood action where he was dialed in. You did say, like, you brought up that fight. We talked about it at the Olympics.

The U.S. team going to O.T. against Sweden in the quarters. We were like, that's actually kind of nice. because it's like you you dealt with like a poof yep fuck me and round one your elite power play getting flustered and frustrated i don't want to say flustered but frustrated yeah and and you sweeping pretty good pretty good pretty good uh so that i think i think you're thrilled if you're the abs especially to your point with game four where i go man you when it was time to go go Because, dude, we always say the team that has three losses. The fourth win is the hardest, all that shit.

That was going to be the King's best fucking punch. They have lost three games. This could be Copi's last game. Like, everybody on Earth wanted to win that for Kobe. And the Aves bet that. Because they were like, here come the King. Taking a step, watch. We'll take a step too and crush them.

They did. I think that's really good for them. I genuinely don't think players like the time off. I think they'd rather play every other night. And the Aves are now going to sit. I know you disagree with them. Yeah, I do. I think I'm trying to be better about saying just like hot my hot takes on the pod. I don't.

Why? Why? This is what sells tickets, baby. I know. I have a deep-seated fear of people going, this guy's a fucking moron. No. But here's that's what he's for. Yeah. Thank you. Chris. I don't think the days off thing.

is that much of a thing. Zach, you're a big basketball guy, right? Yeah, huge. Do you think, so this is similar, okay? And like, Ev, I want your take on this too. People, like, so, so the Carolina Hurricanes have swept, now the abs have swept. Yeah. And there's the big argument like, ooh, do you actually like that?

Because now these other teams are still playing, so you have so many days off. Are you going to get cold? I don't believe that. I have, you're going to Utah. I think, I think, I think with NHTS. playoffs with the Stanley Cup playoffs it's so fucking intense it's so violent more time off

is amazing like guys can get healthy you can rest you're practicing every day you know you're in the playoff mentally you're fine like I know you want to get out there and again I fucking I wish Marty was on this episode because I'm sure he would have a very good thing to say about this

I just I don't think it's that big of a factor I agree I 100% agree with you just because you need any sort of injury even you get dinged up a little bit in the game. You can recover a little bit. Look at Wimby, right? Wimby concussion on the ground comes back. Everybody was like, hey, you might be out two or three games. They had a little bit more time than usual, a couple more days off and all of a sudden

he was great. Fantastic. Yes. Dude, by the way. I have a nuance. Okay, go, go, Evan. I think for like a young team that is running on momentum and like maybe they're not the best team, like maybe they're mostly momentum and like young and hungry, time off is

bad. I think for an experienced team like the abs who have just been like fucking locked in since the beginning of the season, it's probably not going to affect them. Yeah. But I think that's the difference. I like that take. Also, dude, that wendy concussion was crazy. Yeah, dude, that happened. We were on the ground.

She looked like a fucking lake trout flopping onto the deck of a boat. Like his arms just being nowhere near embracing that contact was hilarious. It was like a Chris Farley fall on SNL, just right to the bottom of the table. Bam! And the look on his face, like he hit the deck and he was just like, oh, fuck, Jesus Christ. Listen to me loud and clear. Yeah. The avalanche are losing game one of the Rocket Round series because they had time off.

And then all of you or you two can apologize to me and Evan can slightly apologize. No, I think it would be a full apology because I qualified it by saying I think the abs are fine. But they are put your fucking life savings on whoever wins Dallas Minnesota for game one. Okay. Because the avalanche are dead and they are going to go, oh man, it was just tough because we've been sitting on our dicks for a week. Sure. While they've been playing playoff hockey every other night. Sure.

You know what? You know what I, sharp action by us that I love is that we, with Marty, we went, this series is either Aves and Four or Kings and Seven. Yeah. And no one will ever know. No, we'll ever know if we were right on the other side, but we were sure right on the front. Real quick. Not even real quick, but I think I still wanted what I said about when it would be nice for Copey to end. But having witnessed it, it was cool.

It was so much. I cried. Dude, the crowd. Hand up. I cried. The crowd was going crazy with six minutes left even. Like, you know, there was plenty of time off the game. And it was like, okay.

And they handled it great. He got the last shift, obviously. He didn't linger. You know, I wondered if he was going to say anything. He didn't linger. I know he spoke at the end of the regular season. Yeah, I think that's why. Right.

And so whatever. But it was crazy that, or not crazy, but I think it was better that it was a blowout. I don't know how you feel about that. But I was just thinking if that game had been in overtime, Cope would be out there going, let's go get a goal. We're going to win.

I'm definitely not done tonight. I win this game. And then it would happen. And you would just be like a bucket of ice water smashing the face. You're done. Yeah. The fact that it was a blowout was like, okay, I know this is it. I can go and just soak in this last shift.

I love how they gave him a beer league shift. Yeah. At the end of that, like at the end of that game it was like two minutes and they put him out and they were like, just stay out. And like you could tell like it's a fucking NHL shift. Yeah. So like a minute in, he was kind of like, Jesus Christ. dude like I've been out here for a fucking while that was great um well I mean again man listen it was this has been a wild year for the Kings uh wild year so much happened so much turn around

we you know we got a coach firing late in the season and uh I think for a lot of them it's like you know this is a wild year it's over now let's see what you can do that that the Panarin trade was so massive. I don't think people really like acknowledge how big that trade was. So this summer's going to be interesting for the Kings. It's like in a good way. You got Panarin. You're going to hire a new coach.

As we always say on this show, we don't like talking about people's jobs, but I think Luke Robitai is on the hot seat. I think there's a very real chance that Luke might be gone. We've got a lot of people in the chat going wild here on game one. Yes. The abs are dead. The abs are dead in the series. The young are going to lose game one because they swap the game. Also, the fact that the chat is saying,

they're declaring the wild of one is, that's fucking sharp action. That's true. A bunch of Miss Cleo's in the chat, dude. Is that her name? Miss Cleo? I think so. Yeah. Remember Miss Cleo?

Yeah. Zach, are you too? Call me now. Call me Cleo. I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I've never seen a fucking TV set in his life. So when we were young, Miss Cleo was like a late night TV.

Like you'd be up late. She was like a fortune teller TV Like it was like you'd see infomercials for Miss Cleo on TV And she was just like a TV fortune teller And people would call in and like talk about their problems And Miss Cleo would like to read their you know aura or whatever And people would be like oh my God Miss Cleo She predicted my whole life

This is unbelievable Just some random fucking lady saying a bunch of bullshit And people were like she's a fortune teller So yeah was she like I see the future Yeah yeah oh yeah Dude that is so great. Time was simple, simple times. Times were great. This was like

late night MTV. Yes. You'd be watching MTV at 1 a.m. Dude, there was a fortune teller in our hometown. Yeah, correct. Right on the beach. She had a, what, what did you say? I said correct. Oh, I thought you said her name. You knew her name? But she had like a little shack like next to you, like

the best restaurants in our hometown. There was just this little fucking hole on the wall on this strip and it was this old this fortune teller and people would go in there. I mean, she made a killing because there's all these tourists would go in and be like, I'd like my palms red. I'd like my tarot cards dealt.

And our good friends, Nick and D, a couple of twins, they always tell a story that their dad went in there when he was a teenager. And he was like, hey, I'd like my fortune told. And Miss Cleo, but whatever her name was, did his, read his palm. It was like, you're going to marry a blonde. and you're going to have twin boys. And then our buddies are twins. And then he did.

Was the wife blonde? Yeah. She sure was. I was like, I'm saying was as if she's dead. She's not dead. Well, she could be dead.

No, she's not. We know her. Oh, you know her. Okay. They are, they are however divorced.

So. Oh, true. Dead to him then. Yeah. Dead to him. Dead to him. She didn't fucking predict that. Yeah.

Yeah. Tell me. Where were you on that one, babe? What the fuck? Half my income. Thanks a lot. Could have had a heads up on that, Miss Cleo.

All right. Now we've got to go to Bolt Tabs. We've got two games in this series. Dude, I have been absolute spitjobbing. Yeah. Dallas, Minnesota. Yep. This one.

Okay, dude. So here's what I have to say about this game. This series is incredible. Game three, Habs win in overtime. Yeah. And it's the third straight game. that goes to overtime. It was fucking insane.

Yeah, going into this game, CP was like, are we gonna, has there ever been four straight playoff games in OT? And I want to say a couple things about that. One, there are a lot of people,

and listen, dude, I gotta say this too. People, fans that get mad or that chirp other fan bases for just like having a good atmosphere or us going to places and enjoying the atmosphere.

Wait, who is chirping? What? Like, there's just so many Montreal fans in the comments on, like, our Tampa video on shit that's like, fucking places a joke compared to the Bell Center. And I'm like, dude, no one said, like, no one is saying you guys have a bad atmosphere. It was just Tampa was rocking. And also, like, if you're in a playoff series, like, don't you want a great vibe every game? Either way.

It is so weird for fans to be like, this barn sucks compared to ours. I'm like, it's what, it's good. What's going on? Why shit on a great environment as well? It's great. Tampa is an objectively great environment. And also, if I were a Habs fan, shout out Vicky or homie, big Habs fan. Vicky, if you're watching, love you, has been great about being like, damn, Tampa Barnes

loud. And I'm like, yes, that is the vibe you should have. They're just, they're mad because it doesn't have the, the only thing they can stand on is it doesn't have the history. and the tradition of Montreal, but it's still great. Yes, but I also get it. You can't complain about the facilities either.

It's fantastic. The Canadians and I would say the Oilers, like you got the two best Barnes in the game, in my opinion, as far as the atmosphere. Yeah, yeah. I think you should be able to, I think we all need to rest more. Everyone needs to tell me about it. Unless you're the abs.

Yeah, then you're dead. Correct. Don't rest. You're dead. You will lose to the wild, apparently. Yeah, wild game one. Yeah, wild the one game one. Everyone needs to calm down.

When, like, if you are the best at something, it's like Thanos, dude, now I finally rest. Watch over a peaceful universe. If you are the Canadians, you have the best arena in the league. Yeah. You have the best environment in the league. You don't need to get mad about other environments. You've won. It's like winning the cup.

Yeah. And then going, fuck you, dude. To the other team. Like, you won. Enjoy it. Montreal. You know what you should.

You know what the best chirp is if you're Canadians fans? And there's a game in Tampa. You go like this. Pretty decent little crowd there. Yeah. Say it like that. Yep. In their defense, that place was rocking for game three.

I was like, holy shit. Oh, Montreal. Yeah, of course. They were talking so much shit. I was like, calm down. And then game three started and I was like, actually, that is amazing. The pregame of game three, I was like, oh, my God. My God.

A couple things on game three. Kirby Doc, friend of the show, great episode. Come on, baby. He was the guy in that. Remember game two? I was like, Habs iced it. And Cooper did the line change and like all that shit. So Kirby was the one that iced it.

when he clearly could have got the red line, he just flipped it in too early. Then he's also the one because he couldn't change. He was closing out Moser and kind of got walked around the blue line. And then people in Montreal lost their shit against him. Like to the point that he had to delete his social media. Like it was,

it was, you always talked about the bad sides of fandom. It was like, it was not fucking at all. Literally just attacking this poor kid who's had a fucking crazy journey, by the way. He's like third overall, right?

Can you? Can we, have a real conversation. Can you imagine going online and tweeting at a professional athlete? Who is a child, by the way. Can you imagine being that big of a fucking loser? This is part of the reason why sometimes I have a hard time watching college sports because I'm like, they're fucking 1819. It's crazy. I'm like, they're kids, man. Come on. Seriously. Yeah. To go to go on to X.com. Is that the URL? I think so. And go, I'm going to look up this young person.

I'm going to get his ass. Who plays a professional sport that I love for a team that I love so much. And I'm going to tell him to kill himself. Yeah. Imagine being that type of a person. Do you think some of those, though, are Russian bots? Dude. Just trying to stew.

Just trying to stew some of it in the States. Some of it is not all of it, clearly. Now, now you got me thinking, yeah, I'm sure. People attacking this kid online. He had to delete social media. It is fucking. Actually, Dan, I don't even know, because I went to text him, and it, it, sometimes my phone tweaks to, like, maybe that was happening. But when I went to text him, it was coming up green all of a sudden.

And, like, I even went to our thread with him and it came up green. And I was like, did he change his number? Like, there's a chance. He deleted everything. He blocked. Or he blocked me. He went like this. This is Chris shitting on it.

But anyway, that kid fucking comes out, game three, assist goal. Yeah. And the whole fucking crowd. was chanting his name and I was like How dare you? Well, but yes, how dare they? But I was just so happy. Like literally, dude, I was like, yes.

I have no, that series has been amazing. I don't even know what I want to happen, but I literally was filled with such joy in that moment knowing that this kid had to deal with all that bullshit after game two. Yeah. And then just comes out and fucking scores in a playoff game at the bell set.

I love it. I was like, come on Kirby. It's so good. God, that was fucking sick. We got to talk about before we get into this game, the Lane O. Tegel. Did you see? No, but my mom texted me.

My mom is, my mom's a big follower of the show. She's been following all the games now. And like, I was tied up that day, but she's like, that Lane Hudson goal. And I was like, yeah, but I didn't fucking watch it. I need. Sorry, mom, I apologize. I need you to go to.

I'm going to look at it right now. No, no, go to the empty others Twitter and find, God, you're going to have to scroll down so far. But find the screenshot of the goal that we tweeted. and show it to Zach, it is, if people haven't seen this screenshot, it is hysterical that this goal went in. And also, there's a, there's a moment looking at it like, this is the most shooter shoot. Yes, dude.

A fucking moment of all time. When you see this, Zach, when you see the, the freeze frame of what Lane Hudson was seeing when he let go shot, that goes fucking bar down in over. time to win the game. It is hilarious, dude. There are four guys in the way. It's like it is remarkable how fucking little of the lane, no

pun intended, that he had for that goal. I think I saw the picture of this. Did you crazy? It is like, it's so, sorry, I'm getting a fucking wedgy like you read about here. Guy showing up his calves, huh? I'm right, dude, letting the gams out. He's got chicken legs. Hey, hey! Hates his legs.

Yeah, it is insane. But, um, I think Lane, you know, having a great series, but is another guy that, like, you know, I heard all the boo-birds and all the chirps of, like, you know, maybe he didn't have that great of a series last year in the playoffs, but he's been great. But this, this was night night for Tampa, right? Like, if they had lost, this was night night. So, yeah, Montreal wins game three, game four, any Montreal again, Montreal up to nothing pretty early. Yeah.

Maybe second period, whatever. but I was like oh boy so let's just Tampa comes back and wins yeah and Hagle dude Hagle he's fucking Brandon Hagle man

is this is this it dude yeah exactly look at that yeah yeah I see this I saw this I saw this as a MIR do you shoot that puff I literally tweeted that Evan I go this went top left what like shooting that block aside did you ever see did you ever see an Anna Jones in the last crusade

when he shoots through like four Nazis at once on top of the tank and they all go through their bodies. That's what happened. We showed that, looking at that, when the game happened and I showed it to him, our buddy. And he goes,

why would you shoot that? Yeah, it's going off somebody's shin pad and back. Literally, it's a breakaway the other way. Yeah, it's absolutely a breakway the other way. Yes.

But this is like what, whenever you're in a crowd and everyone's yelling, shoot at you. Yeah, right. And half the time they don't do it, right? Because that's what they're looking at. Yeah, it's so true.

He pulled it up. So this conversation I'm about to have with you is irrelevant. because Tampa won. I don't even know why I'm saying it. But I do think, dude, that when it was 2-0-0 Montreal, and I was like, I wrote down, and actually, we could even have this conversation

if Montreal wins a series, but I was like, dude, Tampa at some point has to answer to this. And again, they won, so this is irrelevant. But when it seemed like they're about to go down 3-1, eventually you have to own up to all the, the first round exits, but you're going, not you literally,

but people are going, well, dude, you lost to Florida. You lost to these really good teams. It's not your fault. It's like Dallas, Minnesota series. No one is mad at whoever loses that series

for going, you lost in the first round. I'm like, well, you know, whatever. But I'm like, Tampa. Dude, every year, we're like Tampa's going to the cop. They're incredible.

I know. You lose in the first round. I know. And again, they even up the series. They could win in six. Yeah. But I was like,

buddy. Like, I don't know, or somebody didn't you, Tell me someone tweeted, like, it's official. This Tampa Corps is too old. Dude, it was game two, Ev, when we were in Tampa. Yeah.

When they were down, on, on, uh, online, there were a bunch of people being like, dude, like, this might be it for this Tampa Corps. Like, no more excuses. Oh, we've lost to Florida, this, that, the other. This core might be too old. The guy, you know, like, Hedman's not even playing. McDonough is maybe a little older. Even Cooch, who's unbelievable is getting a little old. Like, there were people saying.

that and when they're down in this game two nothing and you're staring down the barrel of being down three one to this very good Montreal team you are a little bit like fuck man it's tampa about to lose again in the first round and here's the deal they still might you know but yeah that fight on the back of brandon hagel is pretty exciting yeah pretty exciting but um do you want to pull up the photo yeah there it is there Well done, Zach. There. Dude, look at that.

For everybody that needs to see. Shooting that. Imagine being at the point in OT getting that puck and going like this. Blocker. I'm going to, I blocker. I'm going to unload a fucking 90 mile per hour cock missile howitzer at the net here. And it is going to go through and hit no one. Yeah.

And go in. I think that was, it might have been piloted by a drone pilot in Ukraine. Yeah. Genuinely. Insane. What a fucking shot. But, but Dan, what a serious. What a series.

And I have to, if Montreal wins, I am so excited to see their next round because either every Canadian fan is right that's been going, I can't believe people are fucking doubting us. And dude, here's another thing I don't understand. You were saying this to me about the Bruins the other day.

The regular season is in hockey. I don't want to get too into the fucking data, but we were privy to some stats that's like in hockey you'd need, I forget what it is, but you'd need like a 51 game series to have it be, to hit an 85% clip of the best team wins. Yeah. Like that's how tough. That's how much parity there is in the NHL. The regular season is a very clean and accurate test.

of how good your team is. Like, legitimately, where you finish in the regular season is not a fluke. It's like, here is the sample size that determines this. I know the Atlantic was super tight. It went down to the last few games. But Montreal finished third in the Atlantic.

Like, they're not this wagon team that's like, oh, we're the best team in the league. They finished third in their own fucking division. Listen to me. I disagree with that. It was this close, so it's whatever. But they finished third in their division. They were all so good.

Yep. They finished third in their division. They weren't first, you know, they spent most of the year around there, too. I'm sure there was a stretch with a couple of games where they were first. But, like, Detroit was first in the Atlantic fair. Like, Montreux was just right here, like a good Atlantic team. Yeah. And Habs fans, as soon as players started to go, yeah, keep doubting me.

And I'm like, no one's doubting you. I'm just saying you're like, you might lose to Tampa like there. Tampa is probably better than you. And I'm so excited to see their second round because if they beat Tampa and then they murder the Sabres, then I'm going to go, wow, you were 1,000% right. Everyone was doubting you and you were actually like this sneaky, dominant team that somehow didn't win the Atlantic. Yeah. But if they lose Tampa or if they get out of this round and then kind of get

rinsed by Buffalo, I'm like, I think you were right where you want to be. But holy hell, dude, they have been awesome. This series. Like this series is amazing and I just cannot believe the back and forth fight. Yeah. I mean, they're just so good. I'm Cole getting on the score sheet too It was great Yep Let's kick it to Ducks

Ducks Oilers Ducks Oilers This one man I mean I never Dude oh fuck Can I ask you a quick question? Yeah yeah

Where do you think Brandon Hagle is On the points leaders In the playoffs so far I know he's leading a goals He's six goals So probably first Second You want to guess

who's first. Wow. It's got to be a duck the way you're saying this. Leo, Terry. One. Jackson Lecombe. Oh, no way. How do you like?

That is sick, dude. Dude, hold on. I got to find this. There we go. Trevor. So, dude, we met, remember we met Trevor at Garage? Well, we met Trevor at Big Deans, and then we saw him again at Elbow Room, and he was in our video, and then we saw him at the garage. Trevor goes, we're watching that game, and he looks at me and he goes, so Oilers in five, right?

Which I didn't you have that too? What did you pick? No, I picked them in seven, six or seven. Okay. He was like, well, he was in five, and I was like, yep, my bad. And, dude, I am shocked him. I am blown away, truly. And you said this about Buffalo

Like oh the playoffs is gonna be a big deal And they didn't care at all Holy shit so much credit to the ducks The Oilers team is probably A bit tired I think we don't give them any grace for that When they've also had been on this insane run That the Panthers have been on

The Panthers missed playoffs And we all go well you know It's fine they were hurt a little bit And they've been playing in the cut I've been having a couple long seasons The Oilers are dealing with the same issues They made playoffs in the pillow fight But still they made playoffs credit to them

they're fucking probably gassed. So they deserve a little mercy. But holy hell, dude. I am blown away. I'm blown away that the ducks have a 3-1 lead on the fucking oilers. It is the greatest example of they don't give a fuck. They don't give a what about nothing.

Yeah. Eb, for your purposes and for Zach's purposes, will you get a freeze frame? Actually, what you guys just did. Shout out these two fuckers. Giled. Getting that photo up on the stream was incredible. You can do that again. Can you find the freeze frame of the overtime goal in this game?

Yes. The O-T of this one. Doc Soilers. Oh, you mean the little butt squeaker? The little... Yes. Yes. Because we're going to get to that topic.

And I... Let's do it. Daddy is going to go off. This year... So just to like, big picture, the series is a fucking beer league. It's insane. I've been going nuts online being like, this is literally. a beer league series. There is

an average of like nine goals a game in this series. So crazy. It is so fucking fun. And it is crazy how you watch these games and the Oilers will go up to nothing. And you're like, well, this game is nowhere near

over. Dude, but that's what I mean like, dude, when the ducks go up, I expect the Oilers to come back because they're the fucking Oilers. When the Oilers go up and the ducks just battle back. It's,

it's blowing my mind, and I'm so impressed, and it's so fun as just a hockey fan watching the series. It's like, I get, this is the other,

the Dallas, Minnesota and Tampa, Montreal are higher levels of hockey, but this series is my most fun series to watch. I get so excited when there's a duck, it was going on. It is true.

Chaos. Yep. Watching this fucking series, it's just like every fucking game is out of control. Yes. And, yeah,

I mean, there was a couple things um they go up to nothing yes and then uh that cutter power play goal was gross but then uh granny granny getting on the score sheet oh yeah was big for the ducks like i i i've said to you um there you go that was a good one ab uh i think crider is going to get going eventually here and like i believe that passionately you're up three one duckies and if you're like oh crider hasn't had his game yet that's pretty exciting yep But obviously we get to It gets to two

Bouchard scores They go up 3-2 Veal scores Veal. Jeff Reel, Jeff Veil, dude. Jeffrey Veal, dude. But then we go to O.T. And this puck goes in. Let's talk about it, okay?

I need the overhead one at some point, too, guys. Yeah, we got that. We got two for you. Bring that up. You can't see the puck on that one. I as an objective viewer here. I am not a fan of either team.

If you are a human being and you don't think this puck went over the line, hockey is not for you, sports are not for you, and life is not for you. And also, Chris, the fucking people going like this, it doesn't matter if I think it was over the line.

It's the rule. dude here's an idea it's physics look at that thing it's it's it's here's an idea if that's what you're going to say if you're going to go it's the rule you can't say definitely it was over the line I am going to go every goalie in the league pile snow on the goal line did pile snow on the goal line because then you will never be able to see the goal line and we won't know if a puck is over the day these people don't have object permanence it's like if you close if you put a hand in front of your face like oh dan doesn't exist anymore yeah yeah oh wait there he is it's fucking hilarious watching oilers fans on twitter being like i don't give a fuck if i know it's over the line or not

you can't see that it's over the line that is so obviously a goal and if you can't just accept that and go yeah we lost that puck's over the net you're a fucking clown so i'm actually pretty sure i have a couple things here well i'm pretty sure that they are wrong about that rule so for example if a goalie catches the puck in his glove. So you can no longer see the puck. Correct. But he goes like this and puts his entire arm. Touches the net.

Touches the net. That is a goal. Yeah. In the rule, I'm saying, I'm not, I'm saying like, they're arguing, no, unless you can see it, it doesn't count. I'm like, I think you're wrong. I think the literal rule allows for a rep to go, that puck has to be in based on where his glove is. So I think they are wrong. Did you see the picture that Nate just said to the chat, Ev?

No, wait. on here? Yeah. Okay, let me look. Show that to Zach. It's so funny. I'm going to put it up on the thing. Give me a minute.

That's great. So fucking good. And so there, first of all, they're wrong. That is not the rule. Correct. Legitimately, you are inaccurate. Second of all, Dan, there were, and I'm not going to docks anybody. There were several people we were with last night.

Yeah. Who did not believe that was in? Like, several dudes. We're like, that is not it. That is crazy. And I was like, bro, are you dumb? What are you talking about? Dude, I tweeted last night.

I go, are there humans who think that didn't cross the goal line? And we were sitting with them, Dan. Like, literally in that entire table in the back room. There's a hundred and forty three replies to that. Do you know what I'm talking about? Like the group at the table in the corner. Like that table was like, there it is. It was like that didn't go in.

Yeah. There's the puck. There's the puck last night for those who didn't think that crossed the goal on. It's hard to get it. straight shot on that thing. I was like, yes, it did. And, you know what's funny? What's funny about the image that the guys just put up, you can literally use math.

I agree. You can use literal math and show that objectively. Or geometry or something. Yes, it is across the goal line. Yeah. Like, it is, this isn't debatable. It's not even debatable. It's so clearly in.

You can use math to show that that puck is across the goal line. It's fucking. Hilarious man. I don't even know what to say. It's crazy town So as I've said many times we will not complain about refs. We will not do that Because it's just dude that the fact that there are fans hanging their hat on that didn't go and being like it's Unbelievable that they're just given the ducks this series. Yeah, I'm like are you crazy? And dude you got bigger fucking problems by the way if you're the oilers like What are you doing being in fucking overtime against the ducks? No offense.

And you know what? Again. Like, this is insane. You know what's crazy is we, how, what, uh, power play was, uh, 100% last night for the so like that's good. Yes. You also do the last year, the Oilers yanked Skinner and put in Jean-Luc Calvin Picard. And just one.

Four straight games. Yep. You put in Jari in this game. Your old friend, Ev. Yeah, let's talk about it And it looked like magic again And you go up to nothing And there was a huge part of me

That was like, oh my God They did it again They've done it again Like they went down to one Do you have that sat at the top of your head Knoblock in game force? Oh dude fuck this was so sick The Oilers had won 10 straight game force

It's the second longest streak in NHL history I think behind like an 80s Older team which is funny Yeah But they like every time they go down to one, they don't always go down to one, but every time they go down to one in the series,

immediate, like when you could step on their throat, immediate game four win every fucking time. So coming in, they were like, here we go again. Unbelievable. You're dead.

Unbelievable. Yep. I just have to say, there's nothing more fitting for me as a jaded jari fan to like see the puck literally take a shit out of his butt. Like the shot of it just going,

like there goes the game. Thanks, Jari. Sorry, I don't want to, I feel bad. again, it's like we don't want to beat up on players. He's doing much better than me. It is unbelievable that that felt like, oh my God, here we go. They've changed the goalie and they're just like they're going to find their mojo.

So I think for momentum reasons, that was such a big win for the ducks. Oh my God. To come back down to nothing, storm back and win, get an OT win. At home. At home. Honda Center going. Like you're 2-0 in Honda, that's huge. I will say, though, this Oilers team is going to be extremely hard to kill.

And I know a lot of Ducks fans that are... Poorline impossible now. I'm like, dude, you haven't even... They haven't even begun to fight. Like, wait until you see what happens now. And it's the same situation. Like, if Edmonton goes home and wins... Yeah.

Game five, because they're Baxter against the wall. And the Ducks come home for game six. I'm like, you better win this. one. Yeah. Or you are fucked. But they can beat the those team and they know that. So it's like it's fine but that's this win is going to be very fucking hard. Yeah. It's true. All right. Do you want to before we wrap up here? No, we're going to do a couple of the series. What's that what's the next year? A lot of people in the

chat want us to talk about we haven't done. Yeah. We can we quickly go over like mammoth. Yes. Sends canes. Hell yeah. Penguins. I was so glad I would I I didn't mean to say before we wrap up as a as if we're going to wrap up soon, I meant before we wrap up in an hour and a half. Yes, correct. Let's talk about everything else, dude. I want to go, let's go vague.

Is there a ticker that's about to appear or no? Yeah, yep. Which game is next on that ticket? You're joking. You are joking, Zach. You're joking, Zach. You're just a Utah Vegas. Are you about to fucking update the,

the ticker as well? Yeah, the bottom, yeah. This guy. Vegas. Zach is about to get fallaciowed after this. Yes. Vegas. And shortly thereafter.

HR, HR, HR, HR, HR, HR, HR, HR, HR, HR. You guys are unbelievable. You guys are unbelievable. It's incredible. It's amazing when we have two people on here. It's a lot better. Holy shit. There you go.

Nice mammoth. Boom. He's got Veggie's name up there too. Vermelka. Makes 30 saves for you. Incredible. Vegas Mammoth. We got a playoff game at Delta.

Very cool. And I was excited. Lox asked me before the game. He goes, who wins that game? And I was like, ah, Vegas probably figures it out after puking up game two. Yeah. And then I was like, actually, I'll give some love to Delta

getting their first playoff game and going ape shit and them doing it. Sure. And dude, they went ape shit. Like they, there was a, I gotta say, it was weird. Utah seemed to be controlling the game, but also Vegas had a billion shots. And like, also at times, I was like, Vegas is playing great.

They're going to break through. Yeah. But holy shit, dude. Like, I just, every time I would look away, I had the multi-view going, like you were saying, Every time I look away, just the mammoth had another goal. I was like, oh my God, dude. Vegas fought back, but too little too late.

And I'm officially shook about Vegas. I don't know where you're at with them, but I was like, maybe the torts bump, they figure it out. Cardi hearts playing great. I'm like, you're dead. I think Vegas is dead. I'm sorry, dude. I said it on hockey talk yesterday. I just don't believe in their goaltending.

That has been the big question going into these playoffs. think they're they I don't think they have the goal tending that's going to carry them through and Vegas or uh Utah is kind of similar to the ducks like they they're coming in and you can tell you can look in the way Cooley is playing you can tell them the way that Keller is playing you can tell them the way that Krauser is playing these you know what weeks too yeah these guys have been frothing at the fucking mouth for playoffs and a lot of people are being like it's on their second year in the league well Yeah, yeah.

These guys have been in the league. You know, like, it's, they have been frothing at the mouth for playoffs. And they came in and they don't give a fuck that they're playing Vegas. They won one in Vegas. They bring in, dude, Delta. Never lost a playoff game at Delta Center. Never once. The mammoth are literally undefeated.

The mammoth in the history of the Utah Mammoths franchise, they have never lost a playoff game. That is incredible. That's fucking remarkable. my god dude they're with the cup uh here's a thought the golden nights what is do you think mitch marner has done everything you would have asked of him no what how much more do you how many points did marr have this year evan can you check that for me because dan Vegas, it's kind of like Panera. I know they lost Kev, but it's kind of like Vegas last year.

I'm going, oh, man, I thought they should have been better. 80 points, 24 goals, 56 assists. In 80 games, 82 games? 81. 81 games. Plus 17. Plus 17. That's nice.

Dan loves that. Yeah, 80 points. You probably want a little more, but I don't think you want that much more, right? Or are you saying like you want 110 from Marner once he gets to Vegas? I, well, no, because I'm shouting out Marty again. This goes into the Jack Eichael thing, right? Yep.

When Eichiro is playing baseball, Ichero said many times, and people who, like, coached Ichero, coaches and teammates were like, if he wanted to hit 40 home runs a year, he could have. Yeah. But he actively chose to bat fucking 400s. Yeah.

And help his team. It's ironic because they never won't. But Jack Eichel could easily, and I'm telling this to every hockey fan, I'm looking right in the camera. And I'm telling this to every hockey fan. Jack, John Jack Eichael could easily, easily score 120 points in a season. But he plays knowing that it behooves him and his team to snap it around and, and score 80, 90 points and make everyone on the ice better.

He does that intentionally. And if you don't understand that, you got to start watching Jack Eichl's game more. I think Mitch is kind of in a similar boat, especially when he showed up there. And they're like, dude, just elevate the team.

Let's get to playoffs and let's win a cup. Now, we said it. The second that trade happened, those two guys, needed to have a conversation and look at each other and go, one of us to shoot. And I don't think they did that all year.

And I don't think they're doing it now in playoffs. Because my one weird thought about it is, I think Ike's is legitimately like one of the six, five or six best players in the week. I actually think he's that good. But it's weird that

in moments like this, I almost think he has to stop doing what you just said, which is what he does. And I go, hey, dude, today you need to hit 40 homers. Like right now, I need you to be selfish and just win this game for us by yourself. Stop trying to make us better because we suck. You just win alone.

And literally never pass again. And I think he's like, well, no, because I play this way. And I'm like, but you can't. Like, we are going to lose. We will just lose if you play it this way. And dude, the mammoth, the mammoth are going to win this year. I think the mannith are going to win this series. I think Vegas is dead.

They want it more. I think the mammoth have been shot out of a cannon. And again, I think veggie is playing well, and I don't think. The chat's asking if you guys are going to go to a mammoth game. I want to so badly. Yeah, we're going to get back there. We have to get back there. Yeah, I think you have to.

We have to get back there. The Salt Lake City is incredible. What are those drinks called again? Dirty sodas. Dirty sodas. I think you could use a few dirty sodas. I had a few dirty sodas last night and tell you that much. Too dirty.

You've been to Salt Lake? I have been to Salt Lake. I've skied down Park City, Utah with the Boys in 98. It was awesome. Whoa, Zach's a skier. Zach's got to get on the ski trips. This is huge. You and Zach are about to be best friends.

We already are, pal. Yeah, we already are, pal. This is war torn. This is war torn. You know those videos where people like they, post those videos on Instagram. It's like two like Army buddies being reunited

and like surprising that's you too. Yeah. Fuck. We're back. Way do you fucking see. It's more like when a dog gets reunited with.

Yeah. And dude. Who's the dog? Yeah. Yeah. I think we know. A little bit there, probably.

Oh, fuck. Oh. Why don't you guys switch so Chris can lay down? Yeah. You had every opportunity. Yeah,

you need to lay down. Because then I would have lifted the desk. Although you might choke on your own vomit like Jimmy Hendricks. Roll be over. Is that how Jimmy Hendricks died? A lot of musicians, Bon Scott from ACDC, choked on his own vomit in a car when he was passed out drunk.

Damn. Mama Cass choked on a ham sandwich, right? That's an awesome house sandwich. Is that true? Maybe. I think she did choke on a ham sandwich. Let's look it up. No, Elvis died on the toilet eating fools gold.

Yeah, he choked. No, he was so hopped up on pills. He was constipated. And he was grunning a shit out. had a fucking coronary attack. Seriously? Yeah, that's how he passed. And was he actually eating fools gold on the toilet?

I don't think he was eating fools gold on the toilet. I know that he had gone to Colorado. He flew there. I know everything about Elvis. Eating well. Eating on the toilet has got to be the craziest behavior I've ever heard. When you're busy, you got to do it. It's a simple machine.

You become a simple machine. It's just dropping straight through you. It's incredible. Can you imagine how much fiber you have in your system if that's happening? You're just, How many times have you eaten on the toilet, dude? I feel like this happened. If you,

I swear to God, right, if you tell me right now that you have ever eaten while taking a shit, I swear to God, I'll punch you in the face. Ever?

Yes. I swear to God. If you admit this right now on this show, I swear to God, I'll punch you in the face. I'm just thinking, let me think.

Let me think, because I, I don't want to be honest with you. Let me think. I, I don't believe. Are we talking literally anything? Anything, dude.

What about like a, what about like a lifesaver? No, no, no, no, different, different. Gum, like breath-saving things don't count. That is the most vile behavior I could ever imagine. If you are holding food. Yeah, I don't think I've ever been holding shitting. And eating. That would be horrendous.

I don't think I've ever put anything in my mouth while shitting. That's not, he did prepare. You drank. We've all done that. We've all brought a drink into the bathroom. Actually, but not shitting. I don't think I've ever brought a beer into the shit. We all go to the urinal with a beer.

100%. Yeah. But not into the stall. I'm pretty sure I've done zero for zero on eating or drinking anything. Can you believe that is a like addicts talk about their rock bottom moments? Yeah. If you ever find yourself sitting on a toilet and shitting. That's a cut scene from the way.

maybe. Yes. Oh my God. You're right. Have you ever find yourself, this is a message to the fans. Locke's has.

If you ever find yourself sitting on a toilet and shitting and you take a bite of food, call me. Because you need help. Like I will, call me.

We'll get you the help that you need. Holy hell. That would be horrendous. Awful. Horrendous. Awful. Yeah.

I'm going to have to check. Yeah, who had shit? Yeah, actually chat. Someone just said food in the bathroom, period. Vomit. Agree. Like, yeah, chat. Who is shit?

Yeah, hands up. Oh, fuck. Dude, so this is what I was wondering. Someone just said this. This is why I was thinking. What if you're chewing when you go in? That's what I meant by. I don't think I've ever put anything in my mouth, but what if I was, I ate it?

This guy goes, no shitter beers, you guys have it? Shitter beers is wild. That's wild work. See, that's gonna be a T-shirt. That's gotta be the next T-shirt. Shitter beers is like the name of a beer. That's a Buffalo-based beer. That's like Keystone Light or something.

Okay. Okay, let's go Kane Sends. Cain's also complete the suite. Yeah. You called. Who could have seen that coming? You fucking sniped that, Dan. Sandy was out conced

Sandy conced into the next fucking universe out I knew they were going to lose The Sends I really only have one thing I want to talk about in this game But just for just for the overhead view The Sends power play Was like 0 for 17 Before they scored

They had multiple literally like three Five on threes And I'm like you can't win in this league, if this is what's happening. Taylor Hall scores, which was just so poetic because he's the one that conced Sandy and everybody was like, we hate him, and it was like, bang, Taylor Hall scores. Stank Man scores, because Stank Man only scores

and it's fucking incredible. Taylor Hall's third in the playoffs and points. Really? That's awesome. O-Mark, very proud of his playoff performance. I agree. He has had some sketchy ones in the past, extremely proud of his playoff performance.

We can talk about the Sends. and where if we think they're happy. But I want to talk about the Ridley Gregg play. Oh, my God. There was a play before that. Or sorry, it actually was after that. Do you know about this, too? No, I do not.

So, dude, look that up. End of game, the Ridley Greg. Oh, I think we see it. Ridley Scott play? Yeah. Gladiator to Ridley Scott. Yeah. And this series, dude, there was like a million penalties in fights.

I can't I can't I can't believe the graphics that these two are putting up right now you guys are

unbelieving they're dialed this is a real show the yeah we talked about shitting and eating at the same time what am I looking up here

the riddley Greg you know it's funny you know it's funny we've spent almost two hours talking about NHL playoffs here but the real discussion

that people will talk about in this episode is shitting and eating correct because that's the important stuff. Ridley Greg in the second period gets

a goalie interference call. Yeah. Okay. That live I thought was like, and we're not sitting on rest, but live, I was like, that is the worst call I've ever seen. Because he gets drilled from behind and he's not even doing the like, oh, I'm trying to stop, but I'm going to the goalie. He full

stops and is like, all good. And then gets absolutely murdered from behind, hits Freddy, fucking all hell breaks loose, and they come out of it being like Ridley Greg goalie interference. And I was like, You're fucking insane. But, but in the intermission, they were like, look at his right hand. Like, he hits Freddie, but they were like, look at his right hand.

That's on purpose. And it's kind of like, I don't totally buy it, but I hear them when I saw the replay because his left hand goes, like, when you get hit from behind and you're going into the cross part, you protect yourself. His left hand goes up and his right hand does stay a little low and, like, catches Freddy in the mask. So I was like, okay, maybe he does do a little accidental. Oh, I clipped him by accident.

Yeah. But 1,000% he is hit in the back. He is not going into Freddie at all until he gets drilled. So whatever. But then Biz was like, he shouldn't even be in the fucking game anymore. I was talking about it. And then they showed this replay. And dude, it is right after.

Evan, did you find it? It's, let me, before we get it, it's this, right? That's the goal of interference. Look at the Ridley Greg punch. Yep. Punch. Okay. He, there's a big hit.

Brady drills someone. Maybe it was Taylor Hall. Brady was everywhere in that game like he always is. Oh, my God. And there's a scrum, and everyone's going at it, okay? And Walker is tied up with Fogel. Like, they are fighting. And, dude, for people that don't know,

if you can come in and pull someone off a guy or whatever, if you're protecting a teammate and all this shit. Oh, I'm sorry. Evan, I found it. I'm sending it to you. Okay, thanks, brother. Walker is tied up with Fogel. When that is happening,

you cannot be a third man in and engage another player. Unless it is literally just pulling someone off because it's getting out of hand or whatever. Ridley Greg comes in and drills Walker from the side or kind of from the bat. No, it's an uppercut. And then a second one comes through because Walker's kind of bent over

and drills him with an uppercut. That is actually insane behavior. There are people don't like violence. fighting in hockey. I love fighting in hockey, but there are rules. We are, we are such a players pod and now, again, people make fun of us all the time for just fucking stroking everyone off. Sorry about it, but this is one where I will be like that was the most bitch ass shit I've ever seen. Here, I'm gonna take the video off here. Oh, wow.

Zach, did you see this video? I have not seen this video. Evan, just, I'm sending it to him right now. Just play, like, I just want you guys. guys to watch it because I know everyone watching has seen this play and if not look it up right now see if the boys can fucking pull off some wizardry and put a video up

that was the most bitch ass shit I have ever seen in a hockey game like you it is you're right Chris it is like rule one dude you cannot you cannot come in you can't make it an uh an odd number

right like you can't yes you can't do that teaming up on somebody yes dude you can't protect himself Walker is like in a headlock with his head down. He can't see shit. And Ridley Greg just comes in and fucking throws an uppercut into his face. And I'm like, what are you doing, dude?

That sucked. And dude, he knows better. Like, he's not like, he knows exactly what's happening. I know it's playoffs. I know you're getting swept. It's sucking. Everything's tense. But, dude, I'm going to go from six to midnight if these two get a video up right now.

I'm going to lose my mind. That's fucking crazy. And the canes, Dan, the canes. are, I kind of feel the same way I've felt about the abs where I'm like, that you almost wanted more adversity, but it was... What do you? These two are fucking out of control. What are you are? What are you doing?

What are you doing? That is amazing work, dude. Like he is tied off for somebody else. What are you doing? What are you doing? That is, Evan, that is 100% of wires cross moment. But that is crazy to be. And not happening.

And it's like, listen, it's not, let's not be too dramatic. It's not like he, it's the strongest punch that's ever been wrong. But it's just to do it. So, not intuitive. Yep. He was not. He was not. This is incredible.

Yeah. He was not on the ice here. Yeah. He was not. Keep watching it this many times. Ridley enough. I'm not, I'm dizzy now. He's beating the guy to death.

But no, all right. So, I mean, listen, that Ridley, I think I dead ass think he should be suspended into next season. Me too. Like, I'm like, I bet. But what will happen is the first time these teams play next year, you know he's having to answer the bell for sure. But that was ass. When they were down 3-0, I went on my whole speech about like, sends your future is bright. I still believe that passionately.

I do think there are this goes for Kings fans this goes for Sends fans this goes for anyone who gets swept if you are a fan

online talking shit first of all stop touch grass brother yeah like stop talking shit online just like go enjoy your life but second of all you have to take your medicine

yeah dude you got swept if you get sweat if you're a fan talking shit online if like you know that's your personality and you go out and you beak online and then you get swept dude take your medicine like it's part of life just sit back

and go yep I was talking shit it was like we were walking out of the Kings game yesterday and there's a guy very peacefully walking in a Navs jersey and a king's fan was like you guys are fucking overrated bombs you're going to lose in the second round just like the ducks first of all crazy ricochet

shot at the ducks crazy but also I was like dude you just got swept yeah just Just put your head down and walk out of the scene. He goes, he goes, you're going to be golfing. Like, you're going to be golfing just like we are in a fucking week anyway. Yeah.

And the ass fan kind of like looked over in him and he goes, all right. Dude, see you at the fucking cup parade. And I was like, he's right. Good response. He's going to win. I also have to say, has anyone ever been more wrong in their life than me for picking the Sends and six? Oh, that was so funny.

What an idiot. This is another one. Baptized by the Keyes. Evan got clipped in a Carolina Hurricanes hype post. It was incredible. It was, but feels good, right?

Yep. Hey man, I've been weaved into the great tapestry of canes online. Dude, that was so, you're in the space, baby. Like,

you're in it. That was amazing. And hopefully they know that was a gut call of me just picking randomly. I'm like, one of these teams is going to lose. It was actually funny. Someone sent it to me and sent it to us and was like,

oh, Dr. Watkins is in the clip. And I laughed because I was like, he said that just to do something different. Like you were just trying to like up the bottom. I didn't want to be so chalky. Yeah.

Yep. That's right. Dude, and dude, I think I did that with, I got to go back and look, but I'm pretty sure I picked mammoth. Like you guys all had Vegas.

I was like, I don't know, fuck it, whatever, like mammoth, you got to get six. And if mammoth win, you got to get some of the name.

Well, exactly, but I could have so easily, like Vegas could have rins no, no, no. You knew. You knew. I knew.

I knew. I knew. I knew. Um, but yeah, fucking another great graphic from the boys Freddie Anderson's out of his plan out of his mind he can't he can't do the canes are fucking insane they're so good it's exciting

Dallas Minnesota just an unbelievable series that I have 180ed on 50 fucking times there are stretches where I'm like I don't even know what to say Minnesota's incredible and Dan there were stretches in this game where I go Dallas Minnesota's about to lose the series in five and I and and dude

I actually had some Does anyone have anything mean to say? I had something mean to say about Minnesota. Does anyone have anything mean to say? I was going to say something about Minnesota when it looked like they were going to lose, where about two-thirds, three-quarters the way through the season, when the Central was going crazy, I said on an episode that as good as Minnesota is,

they are a full step worse than Dallas and Colorado. and presumably Dallas was going to get the two seed because Colorado was at that time running away with it. Yeah. And I was like, dude, Minnesota is just going to lose to Dallas in the first round. And it sucks and it's a tough draw. And they probably would have beat a lot of other teams,

but they are just worse than Dallas and they are going to lose. And Dallas is going to, you know, Dallas, Colorado is what we're all, that's the main course. Yeah. And when it looked like Minnesota was about to go down three games to one, I was like, I can't even believe I doubted that take. Why did I ever, like we all picked Minnesota? And I was like, why did I think that?

Dallas is just fucking better than them. and they have been better all fucking year, and they were obviously going to win. But holy shit, dude, this series has no quit, no rest, no sleep till fucking Brooklyn. And it's amazing.

So huge credit to Minnesota for just fighting back. Yeah. In a game, Dan, where I feel like you did get an Otter game. I know he was really good in game three also, but I was like, holy shit. He is making ridiculous saves here.

Dude, they've both been insane. but um wallstead was fucking yeah i can't say enough about it me for 42 saves or some shit but i mean both of them i think the shots were 45 and 43 in that game this series is crack yeah it is pure fucking crack cocaine straight up the urethra it's unbelievable action what a tip by boldie too was so sick he kicks one in and then yeah that was actually that was that was great like he

fully kicks one in he's like and they're like no gold dude he was like this let me get another one with insane tip dude that That was so far out there. That's the only way you were going to beat Otter in that moment, too. Both goalies insane. I mean, we've talked about our boy, Dutchy. Matthew Shane is playing so well in this fucking series. That's incredible.

Haskinen is insane. But like, this is everything we could have ever wanted from this. Because to quote Rod the Bod, there are series, right, that end up in a sweep and it's not really sweet. That wasn't a sweet. It's like both teams are great and just like one team gets, the fact that we're two to in this series is fucking unbelievable. Oh man, Dan,

it's amazing. I was so glad because it would look like Dallas was going to win. I was like man, the wild fans don't even get one at home like this sucks. I'm so glad they got one. I'm so glad we are getting more hockey. Getting seven games and this is going to be insane. And dude, there are stretches

in this series where teams look so. There was a stretch where Dallas looked like they had a five on three and it was just five on five they were just snapping around that well I think it ended like Harley finally took a shot and yes they'd gloved it but it's insane and then there's stretches where the wilder especially those defensemen you've said this many times I don't need to repeat it but just Quinn gets going and I'm like oh my god it's happening like you were beating the shit out of the star it is so crazy insane I hope Ziegrella comes back ASAP is yeah is comes back are Zook and trennan back in the lineup

I think Zook could play game five, I think. But I think Keynes is like, is it hurt, hurt. But you got to get Capriza up going, though, no? Yes, you do. Like, I think if you're a $17 million man, we got to get Capriza up going. Yeah, you do. Like, you know, he's, he had a great game one.

He had, he was on the score sheet last game, but like, I need krill to, like, score like a krill goal. Yeah, he will. He's going to. Yeah. He's going to. He's going to get. but he does get $17 million.

I'm so pumped for that. I'm so pumped for the rest of that series. It's fucking, it is, like, it's frustrating. I want to talk more about it, but we'll obviously talk more about it

during the rest of the week with all the shows that we have. But like, that series is just, it is, it is hockey pornography. Yes. Rough,

aggressive, hardcore pornography. I like that. Jesus. But is there piss involved? You know, you know the type of shit that Zach likes?

that stuff. The kind of stuff that's illegal in you. You know, Zach? Put that up. This is all locks, brother. You know who Zach comes into the office every day? And he's like, guys, I was watching the craziest hardcore porn last night. This is all defamation loss.

This is all way out of hand. It's that. So, like, I want to talk more about it, but we will this week after Game 5. Okay. Amazing. Last one? Evan's alive, dude. Evans alive.

Pitts survives another day. Did you want it, Ev? Did it feel good? I was at a friend's birthday party, and I was not watching it. I tried to watch it, but, you know, we live in a major city, and yet somehow I couldn't fucking get the game on my damn phone in Silver Lake. That is ass. Well, I was like, look, I've watched all the games.

They've lost these games. If I don't watch the game, maybe they'll win, and they did. Can you do a nice Jinser accent? Oh, yeah, of course I can do Jinser accent. We talk about it. Wow. Okay. So, Yinsers sound like Philly access.

A little bit. Like, Jinser's a little bit more Appalachian. So there's a little more like, you know, you're going to get some rednecks out that way. But Yins got to understand. Penguins were, we were in dire straits. You guys, you kidding me? That's great. This is my pit audition.

Yeah. The Yinser actually. Hey, Doc, I got this thing stuck up my bum. I don't do about it. It's the worst accent in the world. It is that. That I was going to say that's pretty good. Like, that's a gnarly one.

is also saying yins is so funny what does that mean u n's oh you it's like y'all but it's yeah yeah it's like they're gonna go down a river we'll get some permany brothers and drink some arn cities i'm like holy we'll watch we'll watch skeins pitch a game it's gonna be nice nice afternoon that is insane that's crazy that's crazy yeah i're you from yeah i am originally i'm from Clemson, South Carolina. Okay. I've been to Pittsburgh. I love it.

I'm going to South Carolina this weekend. You are? Yeah. Charleston? Yes, sir. Yeah. Yeah. That's where you all go.

That's where, no one is going anywhere in South Carolina other than Charleston. Now you go to Beaufort, South Carolina. It's a beautiful town. There you go. Penguins stave off elimination. Yep. I was happy.

I've kind of written the series off, but I was happy. And then I started scores. And Sid scores. He gets a power play goal. I was like, let's fucking go. But then, admittedly, I started doing that thing, the mental gymnastics where I'm like, well, you know, Sid, Sid could do it. We went to Shilob.

We went to Shilob in gold, Dan. Maybe he gets hot. So anything could happen. I think, I'm a little confused by the move to Shilov because I don't think that Skinner was the reason for 90% of what was happening bad for the Penguins. I agree, but there were a couple. He wasn't getting any, though. Like, he wasn't made.

making any big saves that you're like yeah exactly the kate's breakaway like what the kates eventually scored the probably going to get three to take the lead but he saved a breakaway sure sure yeah sure yeah um but but you know sometimes that's sometimes you just go to the backup and he gets hot and you're like holy shit yeah you're just talking about with you always so maybe but i did feel like yeah exactly but i did feel like the flyers uh in that game if you're going to get a penguin's win i was looking for a more comfortable Bowl win where I go something something switched here and it made

me feel like I was like the flyers kept fighting it was like every time you guys got a lead it was like boom Flyers goal and it was like oh okay they're still here I'm I'm look the the Yenzer and me is very much like God wouldn't it be amazing to get a reverse suite but like

come the fuck on I think that this come on come on guys Whittian's Dan out there skating around the ice like Keystone Coops fall over each other Bunch of fucking drunk idiot. But no, I mean, like, hey, just happy to get in the dance. Yeah, happy to get a little short of fight.

Nobody thought we were going to make the playoffs. We made the playoffs. And a younger team might be fucking ringing our butts. I will say it's always nice. Crosby goal, tanger goal, Raquel goal, all first goals. So, like, that was a good game of, like, everyone got going, you know? That is always a good thing. That is always a good thing.

Yeah, Rekal was kind of sick. Like, I know that was Lidar screwed up, but that was. I think DeWar CD's goal was his first as well. Oh, really? Yeah. Nice. So, yeah, that little, the old reach around from McCandell Day. We'll see.

I'm going to watch it today. That was sick. There you go. So, yeah, I'm still kind of like they're dead, but I was happy to see. I was glad to see the boys get one. Glad to see Sid, get one. Getting swept is not fun. Embrace the piss.

And you go home, you go home, you know what I mean? Dude. Once we realized it was like, that's the only jersey they're wearing. We're stuck. We're stuck in it. We're stuck in it. So here we go. All right, so tonight we're headed back to Pitt.

Yep. 4 p.m. Eastern. See if they can stave off elimination again. And then 6.30 p.m. Eastern or, or excuse me, 4 p.m. Pacific. Pacific. I apologize. My brain's not working. You're like matinee again, dude? No.

Could you? We could never. They would never. And then 6.30 p.m. Pacific, Vegas, Utah. Second game in Delta. Again, people forget. The Delta Center has never once. seen a playoff, an

NHL playoff loss. Correct. And if they get that one, bro, then they start making plans. Yeah. Then they start making plans. Kind of nice, in the first round, it's where that we get only two games. And bro, wrap your head around this. I'm sure that happens every year at the end of the round when teams have been eliminated. I feel like that.

Dude, we were almost going to get, if the Flyers had won, we almost, this Penn's game was obviously not going to exist. Sounds like, wow, we're only going to have one game on one. Oh, my God. Which is so, which suck, because we've had so much talking. It's been amazing. But wrap your head around this point. If the mammoth win, I mean, nothing is over because

Vegas and Edmonton are good teams and scary. But because of the way that bracket shook out and like where the wildcar teams kicked to, the second round there could be mammoth ducks, which means the winner, like one of those two teams is in the Western Conference finals, which is fucking gas. Can you imagine how fun

a mammoth duck series will be? Like, that's awesome. Could be. But also, the Oilers can just... Correct. So could Vegas could go two to tonight. Like, that's not... So easily win three straight games.

Yep. It's insane. But Mammoth Ducks would feed families. Mammoth Duckees would be just scenes. Seans. I love it, dude. I love it. I love it.

It was your browser history. All right. I can't do that. Clear your cookies. Get ready for tonight. Two games. We will be back tomorrow with the normal episode. No, no, no.

It was an honor to be there last night and see his last game in crypto. Truly, that kind of swung me back around where I had said I wanted him to get that win. But just to have been there to be a part of it was emotional, was legitimately emotional. And he has so much to be proud of. Yeah.

What Kings fans know it. But just, you know, for anyone who has not been able to interact with the guy, be around the guy. you will not find a better human being. And then to also be that good of a hockey player, that great of an ambassador for the game and just do everything he did on the ice and then also be that remarkable of a man. You don't find him like that often.

Correct. Huge cheers to Copey. What a career. You're the fucking best. We love you, buddy. Love you, man. And for all the Kings fans and hockey fans, we got a fun episode coming for you with him soon.

And I've never seen us buzz this hard in my entire life. We almost got porn up on the screen. Wait till tomorrow, folks. That would be incredible.

Could you imagine if we just put porn? That'd be...
