Welcome to the Empty Netters podcast. Can you believe what this has become? There was a full 48 hours where I felt like I was like literally Superman. Jumbo loves playing Fortnite, so he gets on the sticks. Did TR show you the sauna cycle or was that all year? No, no, I invented that. Almost a year now that I haven't taken a body check. That's kind of nice.

Finish tonight with some chicken fingers and a few Guinnesses right into you guys. That's where this pod came to life. Ice is ready, and we are back with another episode of the Empty Netters podcast. brought to you by BetMGM. I'm your host, Dan Powers. We got producer Baker back on the sticks, although he's not sitting here right now, but you will hear from him later. And along with me is a man who weirdly, for no reason at all, hums when he eats Chris Powers. As always, maybe we should all hub. Maybe we'll be a better place. We all hum. Do you remember when you used to deny that? I still deny it. No, you don't. Yes.

I do. There's no way after. Show me the tape. Start recording. You want receipts? Yes. Show me the tape. I brought this up to you our entire childhood. Yeah. And our parents cooperated. They were like, you do do that. And you were like, no, I don't. You guys are idiots. And then the second you moved on in your life and went to prep school and went to college, you were like, yeah, people did tell me that. Ooh, listen to this, dude. Humming well eating can be a form of self-stimulatory behavior, known as stimming, which helps with emotional or sensory regulation, particularly for those on the autism spectrum. That felt so much like you were, like, you're deflecting, trying to defend yourself, trying to make it cool, and you're just like, well, you know, I have autism. Stimbing.

Hey, I am a T-Rex sleeper. You're in eating homer. I'm a stimmer. You're a stimmer. I don't know. I was a stimmer. We both have autism. That is gas, dude.

Dude, I... It's a way to express pleasure and satisfaction with the food. Can you just admit for once and for all that you do it and it's okay? I think I did it. Oh, you don't think you're a hummer anymore. I don't think so. You're a pervert. You're a pervert, dude.

You're stimmer. You're stimming all the time. You fucking sick. Stimbing is cool. Steaming is cool. Stimming was a cool term. That makes it sound a little tighter. I'm stimming.

That's fucking awesome. I do want to say, before we get into hot ice, of which we have a lot. Yeah. The, your hoodie's sick. I know. I've been clamoring for this as a hoodie. Yeah. I'm a crew neck guy.

I like a crew neck, but I just, the comfort of a hoodie is X level. You were right, man. I, uh, I, I think I got off the hoodie train. I was like, I'm a crew neck guy. Maybe it's because we live in California. I feel like I don't need a hoodie. Yeah. But we made, we put the rats on the hoodie.

We also got this. elite hockey club hoodie. Let me turn around. What's on the back of that one? Oh yeah. That's incredible. All of it is in our store. Empty Netters. Dot shop.

If you need any of the new merch, people have been scooping it up left and right. You love to see it. First things first on the docket. Great night of hockey. CP, I got rinsed. We're going to get into it with, I got just a couple of brutal bad beats,

but we had an electric weekend. Yes. Of hockey. Weekend, Jesus. We had an electric night of hockey. Yeah, oh, yeah. Electric night of hockey last night, 10 games, beautiful stuff. Baker's back.

I'm back. You're fucking. Come on. Raising Keynes, raising Baker. People keep asking me if I'm back. I'm thinking I'm back. We got Baker back. It's huge.

We've got to start with Marshie's return to Boston. That's my dog right there, dude. That's my captain right there. That was special. It was special. He did a couple of hits before. Shout out Sophia Yerkskovich did a couple awesome interview things with him. And I, man, I didn't know what it was going to be like.

But early someone asked him, what's the best part about Boston? He's like, the fans. Fans are the greatest people in the world. They're unique. They're this, they're that. Then he was asked to give a message. And he started, but even before the game, he started crying. He was like, hold on, I got to do that again.

and he was basically just like, I love you guys, the best 15 years of my life. But then get on the ice and, I mean, goddamn. Well, dude, it was like,

it was crazy because October 21st was his professional debut in Boston a billion years ago. And then October 21st, he returns. Yeah. He has a shot on goal

in like five seconds that I was like, can you imagine. If that had gone in, I would have lost my shit. Yeah. Then halfway through the first, they stopped the game

and do the video tribute. And, dude, I'm sure this has happened for, but I'm hard pressed to remember a time a guy got that emotional. I know. Like, there's guys that you're like, okay, they're definitely feeling it. But dude, he was like openly crying. Yes, he was, it was a lot. It was absolutely incredible.

Shout out George on the ESPN team and everyone he works with made the video. I was texting him during the game and I was like, I better be sick. And he was like, I hope we did you guys proud. And I was like, incredible performance. And it was really cool that it was like you could see, they were doing the picture and picture with him and you could see obviously, of course, all the highlights, the incredible goals, the shorties, the Stanley Cups. But it was the stuff when it was like him tapping the glass in front of his kids at the children's hospital. It was those moments when he would literally start.

You'd see him like shudder sobbing because it was that. It was the whole experience. His whole life, dude. It wasn't, the hockey was incredible. You usually have to die to have your life flash before your eyes. But the life of a professional athlete, like that's, that's his whole life. You got to watch his kids grow up again on that screen. So that was absolutely insane.

And then they gave, they, I think it was Cap did interview with Maurice after about Marcy, like midgame. And he was like, it's crazy, dude. He's literally like openly weeping and then just goes out. And he's like, immediately gets an assist on the first. Like he's fine. And I'm like, Jesus Christ, dude. I heard on the broadcast that he did a dinner the night before. are with Chara and Berg and Tukes was there, yeah. I was like, it's so sick, dude. That must have been

an all-time session. Maybe it was Sunday, actually. Dinner was Sunday, I think. They had a little time. I know they got into one. I would hope it was Sunday. Because that dinner deserves a few bottles of wine, for sure. To finish was two assists. I can't believe he didn't get the empty netter. First of all, let's talk about the insane finish. Geeky, what a goal, like, you know, minute 25 left, and then, like, I don't even know. Hagee post off peaks. foot into the net, 25 seconds left. But I was sneaky happy, obviously I want the beast to him, but I was sneaky happy

because... I wanted Marci to go. It brought Marci back out for the empty netter, and there was a shot there, dude. Like, they turned it over, and I forget who it was. But someone could have, like, backhand touched it to Marci, and they kind of just got it deep. And I was like, oh, dude, god damn it. That would have been awesome. Two assists and the win. I mean,

I feel bad, but I was just genuinely rooting for... I was like, I'm rooting for Florida. I picked Florida in my neck of Parlay. Like, I was like, I want Florida. There were a few things I just pulled up. R.A. tweeted during the, I was at the game, I believe. Okay. He goes, that was pretty fucking awesome.

Never saw a tribute that long or that loud. And these are moments where I always just shake my head at human beings. That moment was sick. I don't care who you're a fan of. I don't care if you love or hate Marshie. Those moments are sick. And this Habs fan, just for no reason at all, replies to the tweet. and says, literally every tribute at the bell center is longer and louder.

And I'm like, shut the fuck up, dude. Okay. And R.A. replied with the Brady Bunch Giff of Sher Jan. And I replied and I was like, what a stupid comment? Because I was just like, there is no need. Because R.A. in that moment could mean I have never seen one. It's like, shut up. There's no reason to pull out the fucking measuring tape in a moment.

Cool moment like that. Also, I'm going to go back and find every tribute that's ever been done at the bell center. and if one of them, if even one of them is shorter. What's funny is he replied and goes, guys, come on, this isn't a shot at Brad in the slightest. Great return for him. But it's just a simple fact. Every tribute at the Bell Center is louder and longer.

Okay. And included three YouTube videos. I'm going to find all of them. Yeah, find literally every single one is loud. Because if even one is shorter or quieter, then you are a fool and a liar. It's just such a stupid fucking comment to make. And I just, these are the times where I'm like, fandom is so confusing to me. Yeah.

Just so, so confusing. I got two things for you here. One, because you're so right, I was talking about this with you before. And it was like, my emotions in this moment were I remained so happy for Brad and his success. Like, I'm so glad he won the cup. That was incredible. I'm so glad he wanted to resign in Florida. I had hopes and dreams of him coming back, but I'm glad he did what he wanted and is getting

paid and all this stuff and is on an amazing team still. I frankly was happy they won the game. But I did get hit with a pang that I hadn't felt since it really happened of like, I can't believe you're not a Bruin. Like I just can't believe that Brad Marchand is on another team. And I couldn't be happier for him, but I was like, fuck, dude. I have slowly realized how unemotional I am. Yeah. We've talked about it on the pod many times that I am not nostalgic. And I am very, I have no problem cutting things off from my life or out of my life. And I think it's a very, I think it's a superpower in a lot of ways. Yeah, it is, it is for sure.

But I, I am proud of myself for how much of a silly bitch I am with how I love every team, how I'm just the biggest bandwagoner of all time. And I flip-flop on stances often. And I do a lot of bits on this show. the one that I am very proud that this is one where I am staying consistent because it's what I tell every Penguins fan. Yeah. I'm like, if the penguins keep losing, let the boys go.

And dude, this is the thing that drove me nuts. Someone on Twitter last night said during the tribute, can't believe that Boston let Marshan go. and they said something like it's almost as bad as New York trading Crider for a fucking metro ticket. And I just think that's the dumbest fucking take in the world. And if you want to talk about the emotions of it and the fact that you hate seeing Brad in anything but a Bruins jersey, I get that. But what blows my mind is the fans, whether of Boston or otherwise who are just commenting on the situation. And they're being like, what an absolute disaster that. was for Boston, you're too emotional. I'm not going to insult anybody, but you are too emotional

because that was an objectively good trade. Boston was, it wasn't the best trade, but it was an objectively good trade. Boston was missing the fucking playoffs with or without Brad. They couldn't come to terms on an extension. If you want to talk about that, that was stupid. but ultimately Boston was missing playoffs with Brad on the roster and they traded him and they got him another Stanley.

They didn't get him, but he got another Stanley Cup and they got a first round pick for it. It's just good business. No, no, you are spot on. And I think that's the, again, I don't want to harp on the emotions of it. If you are sad that Brad is not a Bruin

just from the standpoint of it was just so awesome, I thought he was going to retire Bruin? Yeah, I get that. But whenever people start talking about it and they're like the fucking, of all the things you can trash Sweeney and the Bruins over, of which there are many, that's just not one. It was good business. Yep. Mikey Grinnell tweeted Brad Marsh and should be a Bruin during, I think is either when the game started during the tribute. And I read it and I was talking to him too. I think I'm, we are just sad that the Bruins failed Brad. Yes. The Bruins were and you're, Sid comp is perfect. The penguins have been, we'll get into this later, have been failing Sid. The Bruins failed Brad to the point that good business was done to give him a chance for the cup and get a return. I'm sad about that. I wish the Bruins were still in playoffs and Brad was fighting for cups on this team just like Berg got to do till the very end. That's what makes me sad.

But again, I'm fucking fired up. He's a panther now and this is sick. But I was like, God, I wish we were better. Yes. And all of those feelings I'm totally with. And again, while I am apparently dead inside and I am genuinely transitioning into Patrick Bateman. Yeah. I get the, I want, I wish Brad was on the Bruins. I don't get the shit on the Bruins for the trade because I'm just like it was a good move. I'm sorry. You're gonna like that first round pick when they're, because even with Brad on this Boston team, I'm like they're probably not making play off still.

You know, it's like. 100% correct. It's just, to me, it's a no break. Here's the second thing. Baker Brad Marchand came back to Boston after like 16 years right and then they stopped the game

and play a video tribute all the highlights all his greatest moments and he starts crying on the ice and I'm a weeper dude I would be crying I was thinking about that and I was like what what video tribute

could you play one of us or you your years in college or something that if someone went like this If they stopped your work day and went like this, hey dude, watch this. I made this for you and played like a five-minute video of like all your greatest moments from undergrad. Would you start crying? Adobe Acrobat Studio, your new foundation.

I think, dude, if they was like, yo, dude, by the way, bang, here's the best moments of your 20s. I'd feel like, holy shit. I'd be leaking immediately. I'd be leaking immediately. And I'll also tell you, boys, this, 90% of it is the music for me. Yeah, so true.

You could play a tribute video of the shits I took in college. And if you put the right song on it, I would cry. Yeah. I would just like, I remember that one. I'd be like, oh, I remember my old college apartment's bathroom. And if the right song, if that's, what's that fucking song that's out right now? It's called The Night We Met or something. You play that song over it?

Not familiar. If you play like Sparks, I'm like. You guys, you know that song. What sparks? Hold on. Cold play. Oh, oh, yeah, bro. Well, because,

I guess. Bro just asked what sparks. I don't know. Baker always knows new shit that never heard of, dude. I assume that wasn't cold. So on Dancing to Stars,

like, you guys know this. The most emotional dances are always like, just they have the best songs and people don't realize that. So like, this is yours?

Is our podcast going to get canceled now because I'm playing? Yeah, you got to stop it. Under 10 seconds. Under 10 seconds. Fuck. I think I went right over.

I'm familiar. You know that. Yeah, I know that. Fuck. I think I went to 11 seconds. Shit. Dude. I know,

I'm sorry. Not monetization. Gone. Fuck. So best, best dances at just the best songs. Pretty much. Or just like the one, like I teared up last night because it was Wicked Night. Hey, bro.

Like defying gravity. Dude. Yeah. I watched. It was great, right? I watched. It's crazy, dude. Couldn't believe I watched, but I had it on.

And that shit was crazy. College, dude. My college undergrad. Boom. Whole college experience. I think the further you go, the worst it would get for me. Dude. Oh, if you played like old.

home videos like me running like with like Graham. Yeah, boom. See you later. I'm cooked. Yeah. I think we did more video tributes. That was my, that was my process from watching that last night. Yeah. You mean that sports are just in general? In general.

I think every time I come back to my hometown, someone should play me. Me too. Me too. Literally. Like when I get off the exit into York, Maine, I think they're at the Chamber of Commerce, there should be a massive screen playing a tribute saying welcoming me home. Yeah. Not you. Is that it could be the move, like making a tribute video for your boy? Yes, dude. 100%

Whole Baker 100% Dude that is such a We gotta get Dolan in here If you got a homie Who like moved away And they come back

And you make him a video You gotta tell him Could be the move Make a video tribute for your boys Yep We're gonna cut this for Dolan Oh this is a no brainer dude Yep

Absolute no brainer That is awesome You know what's a bullshit That you got into The York High School Hall of Fame Before me Why? Because I

I have better pedigree. Debatable. I achieved more. Your team achieved more. You achieved... I personally achieved one thing that I didn't achieve. Dude. No, no.

This is where you're wrong. See, this is where you're wrong. Come on. You paved the way for me. It was not possible without you. Also, if I had played in the league that you're in... Oh, girl. Grow up.

Dude, oh, yeah. Not only would we have won everything. What is it? Era. Yeah. This guy's comparing era. fucking clown show. These kids are like, I've never made it anyway.

And Dan was sick. I was like, okay, I'm playing against real competition, dude. Some bullshit, dude. It's a fact, bro. Tons of fucking backed. A bunch of guys in my class. Dan was playing against plumbers. Dan was playing against plumbers.

Yeah, I was playing. Look, I was MVP. And I'm like, sick. That guy's bagging groceries, dude. Congratulations. Dude. Guys I played with Went D1. Clown show, dude.

Clown show. Anyway, epic job by the bees. Lovey Rush. That was incredible. The next thing I want to talk about is It's kind of a Ducks comment But it's more a Beckett Seneca comment Yeah

We went to opening night against the Ducks It was sick We were in the video Uh Yeah, that was cool That was sick Thanks Ducks And when their roster comes out

When they're just naming guys It looks insane It looks like a I'm like oh this is the best team I've ever seen This is the best team of all time It genuinely looks like an all-star roster And we also joke the

there are two guys on the Ducks Baker, a friend of the pod, Cutter-GOTE, and then Mason McTavish. Both dudes who are decidedly American and Canadian. And in their announcement, they say that they are from, they go from like something Sweden

and something Switzerland. Because news to me, these boys were born there but I'm like if you've played, if you've represented a country on an Olympic stage, I think you've got to say you're from there.

Yeah. Right? I guess, I don't know. I kind of dig it in Sunday night football when they're like, from blank elementary school. And I'm like, don't. But see, that's like...

That's like a joke and they're like actually like serious about that. Yeah. I mean, McTavish was born in Zurich. Yeah. Well, I do think though, the only part I think you're right about is if you go,

I'm playing for Team Canada because they're better. I'm good enough to play for Team Canada. Yeah. And you can't be being like, I'm Swiss. Because I'm like, well, you renounced that. You had a chance to be Swiss. You really did.

And I would have accepted that. I know. But you are now Canadian. But I just think he, I think Mace, McTavish was born in Switzerland. Because his dad was playing in the Swiss League. Yes. I think having a cutter, too. Yeah.

He did start playing there, though. When he was eight years old. Yeah, he can say he moves to Canada. I'm into that. He's Swiss. He's Swiss. He's Swiss. That's cool.

Okay. So anyway, Cutter, Leo, McAvish, Lachome, Crieds, Killer, Troy, Granny, Frank. Like, it's a joke when they're listing this roster. Frank, honestly, the only one not going right now. Come on, Frank. Frank, let's go. I know you got it.

We're fine. We're fine. We're fine. But I'm excited to see Frank get going. Cutter's got four and six games. But Dan, Beckett, Seneca, three and two for five points in six games. He, and I've watched the,

little bit on TV, but seeing him live, he is fucking incredible. He's incredible. He's incredible at hockey. He is completely unfazed. There's no learning curve. There's no like, oh, he's going to win rookie of the year. He's going to win rookie of the year. I said this to you at the game. If you didn't know better, you'd think he's a eight-year vet. I've never seen anything like how ready he is. That's, that's ridiculous. Sorry, I don't need to be that hyperbolic. I, I have been shocked with how NHL ready he is. Just from his poise on the ice, his body, his control, he looks so comfortable. It's insane.

Pull up, find out the odds for him, Rick Adiae right now. But you go back to that draft, obviously Mac won. And, you know, Mac came in and his future mega, megastar. But then Lev Shinoff's up, Dem it off. Obviously, a lot of hype. Everyone thinks he was going to win Rick, or he still could win Rick Adier. Zane, 9th, Zeev, 12th. Like, these are names that are great players that are getting done.

buzz that are up in the league right now. But Beckett at three, I feel like, went so under the radar. And don't forget everybody, boys and girls. He had that super viral moment at the draft where he was legit shocked that the ducks took him three screen, like looking at her. He's at, he's currently in fifth place at plus 1,400. It's a great bet. Don't, don't tell anybody. Don't tell anybody. It's a very good bet. So my point is, Verbeek looks, so smart right now. And of course, my son, Adam Fantilli's incredible,

so you couldn't really miss that pick. But even going Leo there, the pick before that, you know, that kind of seemed like maybe not right pre-draft. It sounded like it was going to happen, but in the way build-up to the draft, that was a surprising pick.

You know, it was like, Adam's going to, Adam's going to for sure. What draft is that? 20-23. That one? 23, yeah, I think. And then the very, if it is,

and then the very next year, going Beckett three, and now looking like a, fucking genius. Yeah. Sorry, you got my wires crossed there. I thought you were implying that Beckett was drafted in the same. I was like he was not drafted.

No, they took Leo. I know. I'm sorry. You are fucking up. I said, I'm sorry. I said I got my wires crossed. But Verbeek, dude, Beckett. I don't want to double-rister the ducks too much here.

That would be inappropriate. Yeah. That's an animal. Yeah. What do you think a duck dick looks like? I love how you looked up at that Does it does it We're talking hockey I hear duck dick

I'm like Yo is it like in What do bird dicks look like Are they in? They must be in the computer Yeah they might be in the computer Can you look that up? You're going to get duck dick on this TV around

It's a work computer bro I do I want you to get We don't need to show it I'll look at me but I'd like to know Is like because aren't there These animals where the dick is like it up in them.

Yeah, it's in the computer. Would you take that ability? Oh my God, dude. If you could... Don't ever Google this. If you could have a sheathed cock, would you do it? Where it's inside your body and then you bring it out only when needed? No.

Uh-huh. More protection. That's what I was thinking. I was thinking the protection. Are you happy with what you looked up? These pictures are wrong. Bro. I don't ever Google this.

This is insane. Are they packing? No. But they're like... Are they scary looking? Yes. and they're like in their butt. They have a butt dick.

They have a butt dick? Yeah, it comes out their butt hole. They have a dick butt. Yeah. No, they have a butt dick. Yeah, but dick. It's like they poop out their dick. So do you go butt to butt when you consummate?

Probably. Oh man, I love the idea that I'm just this. People who just wanted to listen to some hockey talk. They scroll too far ahead. They just hear duck, dude. Yeah, they just. jumped ahead in there and we're talking about duck dicks. Okay, but if you were going to risk her that duck dick, I'm going to say this.

I am fully, fully bought in to what PVB is doing. Yeah. I'm telling you, man, this, we've said we think that the ducks are going to make the playoffs this year. I love that pick. I want it. I wouldn't be shocked if the ducks get, you know, 40 games in and they're doing great and they kind of taper off. because, you know, they're still so young, they're figuring certain things out. But the five-year plan. Yeah. The SIDS five-year plan is being a line cook at Hooters.

Yeah. Pat Verbeek's five-year plan. I believe in what's going on here so much, man. It's insane. The facilities that they have, Crieder talked all about it, how happy the boys are, the billion dollars that's about to go into the Honda Center to make that place even better. the insane roster and youth they have the amazing contracts they have, I just think the ducks are trending so up, so, so up.

And when you've got all these young guys that people have all the stock in, I don't even think before this year, Beckett was one of the first ones that people say. And now, yeah, he's already doing this one year later after he's been drafted. Dude, you just watch him. I encourage anybody. He's amazing. If you have a chance to catch a ducks game, maybe if you're an East Coast or wait until they're on a road trip, just literally isocam be blown away by what's happening.

It's crazy. How strong he is in front of the net for his age. It's remarkable. This has me wondering what else we should have Verbeek selecting. Oh my gosh. Like I feel like if I could get if I could get Rebeek's digits and go, dude, I'm ordering takeout Sunday night. You're going to pop a movie on.

This can't miss. The favorites, the consensus favorite is Chinese. I got one better. And then Rebeek goes. Dude, pull something out of his ass with his projected ninth overall. And he goes, what about this? That's a good point. And I go, oh, dude, I didn't even think about that order.

That's a good point. But I like how PVB clearly has an eye for future. Okay. I want PVB picking my outfits. Oh, okay. You know what I mean? I thought you were going to stay food and go, he's thinking about what's good as a leftover as well.

Oh, he's definitely thinking that. He's always ahead. He's always down the road. I want PVB picking up my suits because he's, He sees the trends. He got a wedding. I got a wedding next summer. No, it's not even that because I want to be wearing something that people are like,

wow, that's crazy. And then six months later, they see the photos and they're like, holy shit. Dan was on it. You see how sick that outfit is? And that's all Verbeek. He's ahead of the curve. That's, dude, Rebeek's taken Leo. Rebeek's taken Beckett.

And then Rebeek's taken, oh, double breasted are coming back. Double-breasted suit coming back. Could you imagine? Tuxedo with tails coming back. double breaster is tough because you can't really be open with a double breaster. You always got to be buttoned. Yeah, you look like a fool. No, well, you look really good.

But if you can't ever open up, it's tough at a wedding. Open, I mean, you look like a fool. Oh, yeah. If you're open, you look like a fool. For beak, dude, I need him selecting more stuff. That's all I've got to say. Totally agree. Talking about people who are NHL ready and ahead of the curve.

Yep. It's time to go to the island and talk about Matthew Schenberg. Yes. This kid is on a heater. Two goals, five assists, seven points in six games. He looks like the best player on the team. He doesn't look like it, Dan. He is.

No, he does look like it because he is. He looks exactly like it. He's actually identical to the best player on the Islanders. People were saying, people out here saying, isn't that an SNL Jeopardy thing? I don't know. Yeah, I think it is. It's Keenan. Keenan Thompson hosts Black Jeopardy.

Oh, yeah. And one of the categories is like, people out here saying. People out here saying that Schaefer wasn't going to make the roster. Schaefer had to go grow up. Yeah, they were saying. Yeah. But they weren't saying he's not going to make the roster. They were saying they might make the conscious decision to be like get more time.

He don't need them more time. He don't need nothing, dude. All he needs to do is get a point every game. He does need food because he is starving. He does not make enough money according to you. He's starving. He's out of his poor. He lives in New York.

People out here saying that Schaefer's starving. That's why he went to the island. He just can't afford to. to live in Manhattan. Exactly. But he was also the best part on the team. Youngest defenseman in NHL history to start his career with a six-game point street. He's also playing like 22 to 24 minutes a night. Dude, I mentioned this guy all the time. My boy Kyle Islandist fan hit me up because we were geeking about Schaefer. And he had a great point, actually, that 22 minutes a night. Remember Schaefer got hurt so he didn't even play a full CHL season. Yeah. And sometimes we

see the rookies eventually slow down a little bit because just the grind. I do, I worry that Schaefer didn't have he's not even coming off a full season they are skating him into the ground he's 12 years old and i'm like in the in the he still has growth plates in his body he's still growing dude in the dog days of like fucking march early march like late january i'm worried that he's gonna be like bro yeah this is insane maybe though it's exactly what he needed it's exactly what the islanders needed too maybe that CHL injury is what he needed because he got well he got it out of the way Yeah. Usually happens now.

Yeah. Yeah. But he knows that game. Already been hurt. Already did that, dude. Shaper head of the curve. I already did everything. Dude, he got first star.

First two-point game of his career goal and assist. And sick goal, too. It was just a rebound, but he started that rush, and then he stayed up there. Sometimes you see a defenseman take a rush, and then they immediately, if it doesn't happen, they just immediately loop back to their position because they're like. But he was like, I'm behind, I'm an option behind the goal line, baby. Went to the front of the net, bangs home the rebound. So gets his first star.

I don't know if I didn't send any video yet. He gets it. They do a puck. Like the Kings do a stick. You know, but the Islanders do pucks that they toss the crowd. And dude, Sheaf Daddy comes out like peacocking the crowd a little bit.

And then he sits down for the interview. And dude, he keeps grabbing the mic from the girl. Like, every time she holds it in front of him, he's like, give me that. And he keeps being like, oh, I love it up in here.

Let's go! Literally looking like in WWE, that's called now? Yeah, WWE like hype train. Yeah. I was like, I think, Shaf is a deb-I-B-I-B-Safe. I think Shave is like his, Bonesaw is ready. I got you for three minutes. Yeah, I think

I'm now calling Shave Bonesaw because he is a WWB personality and he thrives off it. He feeds off the crowd. He feeds off the theater of it. He is no doubt fully embracing being the star. Yeah. And not in a bad way. In a, he's, he wants to make the island the destination. Yeah. Yeah, the ring. Oh, sorry, I went horror movie.

Yeah, you're all fucked up. It's October. You're all fucked up. No, no, no, no. I was right on that. I was right. No. It's October.

It's also, we were talking about wrestling. He's committed. Yeah. I mean, this is, this is his team. Oh, buddy. I'm telling you right now, this is this is a new, this is a new beginning on the island. This is his team. And I wonder how some of the other boys feel.

Like, I wonder how Matt Barzell feels about it. Because he's like, damn, it's his time, bro. I think he's like, he's taken over. I love the fact that we've got a guy in New York, in the tri-state area who is like, I don't give a fuck about the media regulation bullshit. I am going to be a star.

Yeah. And I'm going to make this place sexy. And he's like, let's go. Yeah. I love you. Let's go. I love the fans. I got you for three minutes.

I got you for 20 years. That'll get you fired up as a fan. God, dude. Let's stay in the tri-state area and talk about the New Jersey devils. Dan, the devils look good. Five and one, listen, at the time of this recording,

I'm sorry if something happens in the one day before our podcast comes out. Holy hell. Comments last week. Jesus. It was just one guy. There's a couple guys. Five and one at the time in this recording tied with the Cains at the top of the Met. They play the Minnesota Wild

tonight. They lost the opener to the Cains, but then since then they beat the lightning, the jackets, the Panthers, the Oilers, and the Leafs. Which is a good run. I know some of the lightning stink right now, but definitely. Those are good teams. Last year, they started really hot. They started early too.

Remember, they had those overseas games. So they were kind of like, they were first for so long because they, until the caps caught them. But they started hot last year. Obviously, injuries played a huge part in that. But you worry about a falter again, especially, of course. You know, if you would name, like, who can't get hurt? I'm like, Jack, Markstrom, brat. And Markstrom's hurt.

couple weeks. Jake Allen's been good. Great. So, yeah, great. Week to week, if it's in its true definition, doesn't phase me with a goalie. I'm like, yeah, dude, get healthy. And if Markstrom's out like three, four weeks, not, you know, I'm like, you'll live with that? Yeah, for sure.

Jake Allen, 931191. That's incredible, actually. That's incredible. So he's covering your bases. You're fine there. Definitely. And then, but everyone else is going, dude. Like, Brat isn't fucking, you've always been on Brat.

Who doesn't like Brad G? He's like, I don't think he's that good. I'm like, are you insane? I don't want to put that on G, but it might be him. I think it is. I'll text it. Yeah, I think it might be him. But Jack Hattie, hey, Hattrick Jackpot, bet it fools.

Jack Hattie. Timo's kind of going too. Not kind of. We needed that. He is having, I said this on hockey talk. He is, in my opinion, he's got three and three, six and six. God. This is.

That's what you need? is the best start he's had since being a devil. And I genuinely, it's like, this is the best run. It's, I know it's only six games, but it's like every game he looks good. Yep. That is so huge for that. Dude, it just changes everything. It just changes the entire chemistry. Watch this. You had this ingredient. It's like a stew. And you get that ingredient. It's that at one ingredient that provides all the flavor that provides all the punch. You get that. It's the difference maker. This, if that dude, all of a sudden, is just a 70. 80 point guy. Yeah.

Like, frankly, they expected him to be. Yeah. And you've got Jack Jack and you've got Brat and you've got Heeshur and then you've got the boys on D going. That's it. Then all of a sudden everything is supposed to be. It's a perfect cocktail. It's been shaken as a garnish. There's probably some activated charcoal in there.

Around the rim is a rim. Oh, my God. This is what they've needed. Yes. And that's huge. The devil's to get drunk. Dude, you need the right cocktail. It's good to see this team doing what they are supposed to do.

You know what I mean? There's a lot of teams we talk about where on paper they should be this, they should be that, and too often they don't shape up to it. The devils are doing what they are supposed to do per their roster. And it is funny to me when we've picked the Metro rankings and picked this and that that they were, I don't mean to bring the Rangers into this. But obviously that's their little brother. There's a rivalry there.

and there was a lot of discussion. We're only six games in, I know, but there was a lot of discussion amongst fans that was like, how could you possibly think the devils are going to have a better year than the Rangers? And I just was simply like,

I think look at it, guys. I think it's on paper, it should be. So that is currently what's happening. So I'm happy for the devils. How, you know I love Keefe, and I've always said, I think this was a slam dunk hiring. I think he always had regular things.

season success with good teams in Toronto and the playoff failures were, in my opinion, largely not on him. And I was so excited to see him outside of the stress of the Toronto media. Didn't get the chance. I mean, they made playoffs last year, but it just was a shit show and they were hurt and blah, blah, blah. I think, I forget what we picked them.

I want to say I said second. Do you remember what you said? Probably second. The devils? Yeah, maybe we had Carolina first. I definitely had Carolina first, and I believe I did have them second. I think this devil's team could be a massive problem all year. Like, legitimately a huge company.

I don't think the Met is worse. Wow, God, the Atlantic's shaking out weirdly right now. But I was going to say, I think the Met is worse than the Atlantic. But this Devils team, the, I think they are so, so good. I'm so happy to be wrong, but I think they are so good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No disrespect to the team in the Met we're about to talk about. But I do think that these two teams are really the only teams in the Met that I would be scared of.

Washington is great and I'm I am interested in them but these two teams are the top dogs. This is the year. I think this was the year I expected them to have last year because they had the exciting, whoa, we beat the Rangers and we're kind of good. And then I didn't pick, but the backslide didn't shock me. I picked them to be good, but the back, I'm like, oh yeah, you got over your skis. That happens all the time. Last year should have been the like, psych, we are good.

Yeah. And injuries, whatever. They're the most injured team in the world. This year is the year. This year they go, boom, told you. We are actually nasty. And Jack, Jack's hot. Jack, Jack.

I just, 100 points, baby. The other hot team in the Met, we talked about it last episode, there is a chance that a little netters bump might be going on. The Pittsburgh Penguins look fantastic. Dude, it's, what is going on? I don't know. You're getting Malkin and, you know, it's October. October Malkin. That's fine.

Sid is a universal treasure and we'll never stop and we'll never slow down. Brazos's on fire. Brazzles scores every game, which is cool. If you have a guy that scores every game, that's actually sick. It must be so cool to have a guy like Sidney Crosby. And I'm not even necessarily saying it's Sid that's doing it. But how many times over the last 20 years have we seen a. not random dude, but a guy that people are like,

yeah, he's a decent little player, play on Sid's team, and whether it be from Sid, whether it be being around Sid, all of a sudden just pops off. It happens. It's tales all the time. It's been his entire career.

And now we've got Brasso with five goals through seven games, and he's just, he's fitting like a glass slipper in Pittsburgh. It's ridiculous. Every time I look up there, I'm like, who's score?

Because I always hope it's Sid. And I'm like, Who scored? And I'm like, Brazo. Brazo. Braza. And I'm like, okay, enough. Enough of that, dude. Give the puck to sit. They're spreading the wealth last night to, uh, they had, um, five, five goals. Yeah, five different goal scores.

You love to see that. Here's the biggest thing for me. Currently, ninth best in the league and goals against. After being so bad at that, dude. Like, awful. All the predictions. all the previews were like Pittsburgh simply

cannot keep the puck out of their own net. Their defense is old, is lacking, and shout out our boy Parker, fucking eating 21 minutes a night, playing awesome. The things have changed now because right now they're not in the league and what I slightly worry,

Tristan Jari 9-2-2-3-5, great. Shilob, 919-2-25, great. Sheelob, I actually think maybe, maybe you're in a bussy situation where you're like, dude, give him the job. I think she loves is, I think he's a starting goaltender in the NFL. And I think that these two are going to tandem all year and we'll see what happens. But he is a guy, as we've talked about, who is definitely in his role going, I'm not a backup. I want to be a starter in the NHL.

Jari in, I mean, he's going to be a starter at the Olympics. People for, you know, don't forget that. Oh, oh, yeah. I mean Jari. I was like, no. In 24, or when he was, in 2020 and 22, when he was 24 and 26, Jari gave you two all-star seasons. 9-21, 243, 9-1-242. Fantastic.

So he has done it, but in the last few years, he has not felt like an NHL starting going to me, which is why they've been missing playoffs. So he scares me a tiny bit because he's 30, and, you know, he's several years removed from that play, but he has had it in him before. And maybe the tandem, Dan, not that he was eating that many games before, but maybe the tandem with Shilob playing well, does it. But that, when you ask, can the penguins maintain, and I'll say it for the million time, nothing would make me happier than the penguins being good for Sid. I don't want them to leave if they're good.

I don't want them to leave if they're bad. If the penguins can maintain, that would be so sick, but the only way they can do it is if they keep getting good goalie play. And if that goes away, then they are dead, and I am dead, and Sid is dead. Yeah. It's a blast. I think they've got a bit of a new coach bump going. I know. I wondered if that was just it. Well, it's definitely a part of it. Yeah. But the reality is new coach bump can last 82 games sometimes. Oh, I sure can. Uh, so for me, I need 20 games. I need to see where the pens are at through 20 games. So we're going to, we'll stay on this, but we're going to revisit very specifically after 20 games. Five and two is sick, though. It's sick. And again, they're winning. They should have won that. Big games. They probably should have beat the ducks in that game.

Agree. They are totally buzzing. They've got a little bump from us, which we love. But 20 games in, we'll revisit. But I am officially, I can't wait for Tantiers with Chally next month because, like, they're going up. Oh, yeah. And I'm officially going, pens are spicy. Yeah.

Pens are spicy. They are spicy. This is not a mirage, I'm saying. You're saying it already through seven. Yeah, like this is a, there have been seasons in the past couple where they've been a bubble team and the whole time I've been going, no, they are not. Yeah, right. Literally, if you look at the points in the standings and I know fans who are digging their heels in, they were like, we're right there. Yeah.

I was there to tell you, no, you are not. You were going to miss playoffs. I'm telling you that confidently. I'm saying they're spicy. Yeah. They are going to be a bubble team or higher and I believe in them. I believe that they can do it this year. We'll revisit after 20 games, but I'm officially buying stock in the Penguins.

I love it. It's fantastic. A team that I might be selling stock in. Whoa, whoa. I mean it. The Dallas Stars, what would you say you do here? I'm pissed at the Dallas Stars. We made love with Dallas Stars fans last year.

Totally got on the bandwagon, and I'm very, very frustrated with this group. They started 3-0, and it looked like I picked them to have. have the best season ever, Otter, Legacy. It looked like them in the abs, right? It was like, yep, you two in the central. Right? Like, it was, um, Jets, Avs Wild and like, say what you want about the wild, which I have. But the, you're like, oh, yeah, Dallas, Dallas might go 82 and O'N.

Then losses to the Canucks, the blues, and the jackets. Otter 893, 318. And I'm like, dude, what, why, why? Why? Why are you doing this? Otter and the team. And dude, it's six games. Who gives a fuck?

Little skids happen. Like you can lose three games. I think the Panthers famously didn't lose three games in a row ever. Actually, you know what? I think the bees didn't that historic year. Obviously that year was insane. So like three game skids happened. Dude, remember at the end of last year Dallas lost like fucking seven games in a row?

And it was like, what are you doing? So little skids happened and it's just the start of the year. But what was Lark's quote? Like can't have a hot season unless you have a hot start. you had a chance at 3 and 0 to have a very hot start like for no you should easily have been like

or 7 and 2 and I'm like amazing now you have that to build on so you can do your skid later in the year and it happens and just like all of a sudden to be 3 and 3 is like again the stars are fine but it's just so disappointing it's so annoying they they spit in my face last night

yeah I had I had two parleyes last night both of them the last game was the lock I had I had hit the two first legs and then it was just

I needed Dallas at home to beat Columbus Columbus is great team don't get me wrong but at home Dallas I was like that should be a win loss and then I had a four-leger

and the last part was Colorado beating Utah and Tusky stuffed his tusks up my bottom like this like a duck dick

right up my back the duck came out and ruined me and they just look awful last night. Watching that game, credit to Columbus, great performance, but they looked awful. And to your point about Otter, I'm just confused what is going on. And it really, really frustrates when it's in the season after he got sewered by DeBoer. And we thought he was

going to come out. You picked him for Vesna. He's still good, dude. Like, it was like, you know, he's going to come out and he's going to make a statement, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he's just been poopy. Yeah. And you are too good to be poopy, sir. In a, on a new issue day. On new issue day, dude? On an Olympic year, you're going to come out and be poopy to start the year.

Good point. You're telling me, we have to go in to the Olympics and have Connor Hullabuck start again. And, dude, their wins. And choke in a big game. I can't remember which games. I'm just kidding. Connor Helduck's disgusting. Yeah.

I can't remember which games he played probably both. But like the wins against the Jets and the Is it are 5-4-5-4. So it's not like we were like, oh, three-nothing shutout by Otter. And those are good teams. But I'm like, that's a lot of goals. A lot of goals are going in, especially when you have Jeremy Swamen looking awesome. Yeah. And how's that you're doing?

Very good. Last couple games for the Canucks have been tough, but Demco has... 9-2-2-8. Very good. So I'm like, you could lose your... You could lose your Olympic job. Hellabuck, Demko, Swamen. Buy.

And you're like, fuck. Yeah. When you were saying, like, I want the net at Four Nation and Milan. He was like, dude, I dueled... I dueled them in the playoffs. I dueled the Hullabuck in the playoffs. I won this. We kept saying, like, this is the Milan application. Boom, Otter's goal. And now I'm like, Otter's on the team. Yeah. Because Demko and Swainman look great and the Helibbuck's obviously planned. Yeah. It's scary. Very scary. Sam Steele, a little scared about that one, too. I think

he's going to be fine. I think he's an incredible player. But preseason, first line, drop down to third, no goals, won assist in five games. Sags up on the first line. Sags the man. Dallas is, for me, they are, let's, let's go to Chelly's tan tears. Let's see where he had them, because I kind of have a... I'm sure we had them Pam Anderson. I have a feeling. He had them in Pam Anderson. And I'm saying, like, this...

They are dropping two tiers for me. The losses they've had are just so... They just don't look cohesive. Yep. So, Dallas... I love you. Go get the boys together. Go to a bar.

Go to a barbecue. Get the fellas... Barbecue, my baby backs. Get the fellas in sync. I need it. A couple quick hitters. year. Just wanted to give some shoutouts before we wrap up hot ice.

McDavid has struck oil. He's finally scored. Connick David has scored a goal in an NHL game. That's incredible. He got the opener in 3-2 OT win versus the Zenza game. They almost dumped. Wallman actually scored the OT winner. I looked this up, Dan, because I was like,

man, that took him a while. This is so lull funny, bro. I was like seven games. I wonder how long it's taking him to score in the past. He scored on his third game in his rookie year. And that was the latest he ever scored. Like, he scored the first or second game of the year. He has multiple opening game hat tricks.

Like, literally, first-again season hat-trick, how's your mother? Multiple times. Yeah. And then he didn't score, but last year, he didn't score until the fifth game last year, which I kind of forgot. And then this year, seventh game. So Connor McDavid is now old and blows. And the edge, the cliff is coming, and it's all over. Isn't it funny how that is, I was going to say at the beginning of,

this segment, there is no planet where anyone should ever be worried about Connor MacCaded. Yes, correct. And it's funny how last year just shows that. Anyone who's being like, what do you think's going on? I just, to that, I say, nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

He is just always going to be fine. He scored 26 last year. First time he scored under 30 since his rookie year, but he only played 67 games. Yeah. If he plays 82 or close to it and scores under 30, again. How, is that a problem for others? It doesn't matter. I don't care at all.

What are you talking about? I think they count on him for 30 plus. No, they don't. We've said so many times they can be a one seed, they can be an eight seed. Yeah, they can win the division, they can be a wildcar team. It doesn't matter. I genuinely, if not for the fact that there's

quite literally nothing to do in the city of Edmonton other than watch Oilers game. If I were an Oilers fan, I would genuinely not pay attention to this team until the day one of playoffs. He's on pace for 11. What if he scored 11? What if he scored 11? I don't care. Can you imagine?

Seriously. Well, first of all, actually, let me address that. Never in a million years. Oh, of course. Of course not. No, no. But like, that's what I love because there are a few people where you can actually say that, dude. There are guys who are elite.

if you were like, what if they only scored 15 goals? It would be incredibly improbable, but not impossible. It's literally impossible for him if he plays 82 games. It is impossible for him to be under a point per game. Yes, also correct. So what are we doing? Which he is it, by the way. He has seven apples.

Oilers fans. Oilers fans, I get it. I get that you guys are crazy and passionate and you love this team. I genuinely will never understand. in this era, in this country, this country, Oilers fans getting worked up about anything. You guys could lose 10 straight games, and I would look at you and go, who cares?

Calm down. You are making playoffs, and once you're in playoffs with Leon and Connor, anything can happen. So just everyone, take a breath. Going online when they lose a game and seeing people freaking out and talking about Connors' play, this, that, and the other, There is nothing to worry about.

Ever. Ever. The only thing that matters is once you get into playoffs. In fact. So just go through the regular season and relax. Know that it doesn't matter when they score or when they don't score. When you win or when you don't win, you're making playoffs and it doesn't fucking matter what seed you are. You're going to do what Connor and Leon do.

So just enjoy it. Enjoy every game. Enjoy the losses. You know how hard it is? impossible it is to be able to sit back and enjoy a loss, enjoy the little good plays in the losses because you're fine. You're going to be fine no matter what. Yep, only fan base on Earth.

Truly! In fact, I bet the floodgates open now and they play home against the habs on Thursday, and I would fucking hammer any time goal score. Definitely. Because you're probably going to get your share of 10 Gs and bonus bets because he's going to have a fucking hat trick. How are you? Boom.

Next one. Corey Perry back. Corey Perry back. The Kings beat the Blues 2-1. Blues, right? they beat the blues. Yes. Kemper back, 17 saves. Corey Perry, no points, but shot took a penalty, mixing things up.

His presence on the ice. 15 minutes, dude. His presence on the ice. I had the Kings winning in a couple different bets last night. That was my lock of the night. Really tough OT loss against one of the best teams in the league in Carolina, but the team felt good, looked good. Team is good on the road.

They rallied together on the road. Corey Perry back in the lineup. I was like, Kings are absolutely. winning this game. I'm actually just thrilled he's back so soon. When that happened, I was like, fuck, he's going to be out for a while. And just to get him back right now, I think we were talking about stew, we're talking about ingredients, the devil's cocktail. The King's cocktail is much improved. Having him, his voice on the ice is just, I mean, it's huge. Also, do you see Kempi's goal, Sally? Oh, I didn't see. It was very flashy for him. Okay. It's cool. It kind of

did like, it looked like a bow and arrow thing, but it was a, you know, O.T. winner. It was just kind of a sick. Selly. I love it, dude. They need it, dude. They need it. He's probably fired up. That's jeez.

Okay, then this one, Dan, I know this burned you last night. Yeah, I've got a new nickname for this guy. Scott Wedgwood. It makes zero sense based on the numbers. What is it? Swiss cheese. We're calling him Scott. Cod.

We're calling him Scott Swiss Cheesewood. Yeah. Absolutely fucked me last night. I wanted to give me a shout out. Like a dog. I wanted to give a shout out. I wanted to give a shout out. Because these abs.

He's been so good. And we like McKenzie Blackwood. We love a McKenzie Blackwood, but the a abs were like, God, that's a cup team. Is this your goalie? Is this? Are we sure? And I think I'm sure, but are we sure? And then McKenzie Blackwood gets hurt.

And I'm like, oh, fuck. Like, that's actually a nightmare. If you're already rolling the dice with goalie, they put in Scott Wedgwood. He's played every game, all seven games. And he's... 5-0-2-9-27-184. He's been insane. Holy fuck, Scott.

So massive stick taps to him despite him costing you without $1. He's been unbelievable. He did burn me last night. but also a bogus off sides call on a landy goal burned me. That changed everything. Wasn't Scottie's fault? No. Yeah, he's been amazing.

Avs still have not lost in regulation. That was a brutal loss. Nate turnover. Everything was terrible about that. Everything. But they're such a good team. Dude, if you're going to get... If McKenzie comes back and plays well and you've got this tandem,

that's actually a problem for the rest of the league. Yeah, definitely. I mean, it's like Talbo in Detroit. It's like you're, you know, when a backup comes in and just, fucking locks down. It's pretty sick. All right, stay with the abs, Dan. Something's got you pissed off. Not pissed off. Well, no, no, no, no. Sounds like to me that you were pissed off before recording.

I have never been more in love with the network than yesterday when people were sending us the news of this. So tonight, if you're listening to this on Thursday, tonight, the Colorado Avalanche and the Carolina, I'm literally messing up the names. I'm like you going to say that. The Colorado Avalanche and the Carolina Hurricanes are playing a game. And they will be wearing the Quebec Nordiques and the Hartford Wailers jersey. Together.

Together. Playing bridge together. At the same time. Bits aside, this is so cool. Yeah. We were talking about the Ducks Hawks, how they should do the Disney thing. Obviously, it's not totally the same, but having a game of two complete, not even like colors. They are just complete.

other jerseys is going to be really fun to see. It's going to look iconic. They unveiled the Nordik's jerseys. They're gorgeous. Sackick was involved in the video. Awesome. Bits aside, this is so cool. I do want to say there is literally no world where I slash we were not considered in the decision-making process of this by the NHM.

It's impossible. We weren't considered, obviously, but they were like. this is funny. Yes. That's what I'm saying. We popped into their brain. We popped into their brain. That's what I'm saying.

Like we are too big now. We have too many contacts at the league now where they have seen both of these now viral clips. And there's no chance that they weren't like, this is funny. We're going to do this and it's going to be funny. Yeah. And the way the network, you fans just blast. Like we had 3,000 DMs yesterday or yesterday, two days, two days ago, I think, of people just being like, well, this is happening. Dan's going to die.

Yeah. And I was like, you do what the fuck. God, I can't wait to see it. I can't wait. It's going to be so cool. It's,

I mean, again, it feels like a personal shot, but God damn it. How dare. Yeah, but bring me back to the 90s, dude.

Oh, amazing. It's treasonous, but it's going to be sick. All right. Now let's kick it to our gambling segment so you can get your bets

locked in for the weekend because we are back at it with Professor's Buckland. Welcome, Welcome back to the Professor's Parkline, and I do believe, Christopher, that we owe everyone our sincerest apologies. Everything lost. It was truly, truly difficult to witness our first foray into the Professor Putt line, going 0 for four with many, many tailing us, following us. Things did not go as planned, but that is academic.

That is research. Oftentimes your hypothesis does not come up the way you expect. And what I would like the people at home to know is it's real money. It's as if you all think this is a bit and I haven't lost my money, but I in fact have. Our financial stability hangs in the balance this week. We must have it. We simply must do better. It is real money. I had a very, very difficult beat just last night. Yeah, you did. The avalanche could not take care of business against the mammoth. The Dallas Stars could not take care of business against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

But we learn from our research. This is how we improve. This is how we get better at what we're doing. Christopher. Precisely correct. Take me through the recap of the Mega Palo, with which we did quite well. Well, that's relative, sir.

Let's recap the Mega Parley from last Saturday. The first game of the day, cats, no. Cats lose to sabers. Unbelievable. No. Lost before we even begun, immediately at noon, loss. Yes. Dead.

We did not do quite well. Let's run through this and get it over with the game. Isles, yes. Oil, no. Crackin, yes. Beat the Leafs, the Leafs, struggling. Rags, yes. on the road, as we predicted.

No coal goal, though. We did miss the coal goal. It's terrible. Wild, no, lost the flies. Bolts, no. They did not write the ship. They lost to the jackets. Bolt's still terrible. Stars, no. Stars in trouble.

We hate the stars. Now, they lost in the blues. Jets, yes. We love the Jets. Avs, yes. Nate scored twice after you said Nate could score, and I said he scores every game. and then we took someone else. Nate scores twice.

Kings no, right in your face, right in your eyeball. Kings, no. Knights, yes. Gwyn's, yes. Gwyn's hot. Gwyn's very hot. Seven and six, barely above 500. Not our best.

Hopefully not our worst. So, before we get into the Friday fade, we will be worse than that. It turns into phenomenal content, so we must hope that we can do worse. The Friday fate, to start off the weekend, this is a game that we feel is certain to go one way, and thus the gambling gods will make it go the other way. It must, as it always does. I think we might have gone too aggressive last time.

Okay, well, we don't know. Here are the games Friday. Yes. Sharks at Devils, caps at Blue Jackets, Leifes at sabers, flames at jets. What game are you sure about, Professor? This is an absolute nightmare, Christopher. I believe that the jets will certainly win at home against the Calgary Flames.

But it feels that might be similar to last week too intense. There are several, I'm sure, of you. The Leafs, the Leafs. drive three minutes down the road three minute bike ride to Buffalo to beat the Sabres, right? That one also feels a bit dangerous. How could they lose to the Sabres?

And then the sharks, the sharks, they cannot win, they cannot win a game. How could the devils at home not beat the sharks? I believe that the Washington Capitals are in a great bit of form, great bitter form. and it's a division rivalry game, Capitals against the Columbus Blue Jackets, I think it would be sure that with Logan Thompson and that the Capitals will surely be victorious

against the Columbus Blue Jackets, therefore the Columbus Blue Jackets will win. It feels to me, though, now that you are actually taking the one you are least sure of for out of fear spitting in the face of the Friday fade itself. You're absolutely right, sir. That's what it feels like to me. It is clear that the Toronto Maple Leafs could not possibly lose to the Buffalo Sabres. How could they? I could not think of a single way.

So for that reason, we are going to bet the Buffalo Sabres money line against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday for our Friday fade because surely, surely the Leafs win down the road. Thank you, Sabus. Now, for our Saturday Selly. Yes. A Saturday anytime goal scorer, we mentioned several people last week for this. Pretty much all of them scored, except for the one we landed on.

So for the Saturday Selly this week, Daniel, who is tickling your cap? Who has put a bee in your bonnet? I was sure you were not going to say bonnet there and destroy that expression. So kudos to you, sir. Bully to you. Well done. There are so many games.

I would like your input because last time I said everyone who scored and then we made the roll. And then we went the rother way. We should have faded our celly. This, I liked a home. Who? Yeah, the home team did score. I do like a home. I do like a home.

Let's stick on a home, Daniel. Perhaps. perhaps Sid, Daniel. Perhaps jackets at penguin's Sid hot. Sid scorching hot, perhaps Sid. It feels too hot. Feels perhaps too obvious.

Too obvious. Okay, okay. I don't like the boats. I don't like the Panthers. I don't like the wild. Perhaps wings. I love, I have a pick in mind. And I would, I would, again,

for once in your pitiful life, I would like you to be done. decisive and give me something. My pick, I believe, would be Lucas Raymond of the Detroit Red Wings. Wow. I did like Wings. Well, you, you apparently, sir, don't have the stones to say it. Have you tried them buffalo style, Daniel? Here, here in this country. I will not sit here and live through your Ballyhoo, sir. We are here to give correct and educated picks and you, sir, are wasting everyone. They even buffalo their cauliflower. You're wasting everyone's...

I would like to go... De Brinkett. He has not scored. Surely he will. Surely he will. I asked you to be decisive. I said I would like to go to Brinket. You've made a decision that I do not agree with, but I asked you to be decisive.

You've done so, so therefore that must be our Saturday. Saturday, Sally. Alex Debrinket of the Detroit Red Wings against the St. Louis Blues. At home. Anytime goal scorer, that is the pick. And now for the Sunday Hatrick Parley, we are bringing in a special guest. We've called the phones and we've called the PhD channels and found a colleague willing to assist.

Another doctor here to help us out. And now for our Sunday Hatrick Parley, we're bringing in another doctor into the studio. He has a PhD in gambling. Dr. Locks himself. Young Gavin McHugh, tell us what action you like on Sunday. All right. I like the Colts minus four.

No, no, no, no. This is hockey. Yeah, there's been a miscommunication. There's been a miscommunication. Goodness, right. We need a three-leggar from the L.A. Gavin, Gavin, Gavin, Gavin. Hockey plays on Sunday as well, my friend.

We need a hockey bet. Okay. All right. We're going to pack the bags. We're going to go to Winnipeg. Oh, it's quite cold. Grab, grab the passports. I couldn't locate it on a map.

Good, good, good, Gavin, good, very good. Couldn't locate it on a map, but, you know, the mammoth, the brand new mammoth are taking a trip to play the Jets. Not the New York Jets. No, no. Well done. Yes. The Winnipeg Jets. Maybe Jets Jets' money line.

Wow. No. No, we couldn't. Possibly better. We couldn't. The Twin Jets. Yeah. Well,

careful, not in my country. We have a three-leg, same game parlay. It's going to come out around, I don't know, plus 220, plus 250,

somewhere around those odds. Love those odds. Put it in the pipe, smoke it. So, both these teams, pretty solid goalies. I saw that mammoth thus far.

We're filming this before are like five and two to the under this season. I don't know how that's going to play out rolling through the rest of the weekend. But for Sunday, I like the under in this game, under six, six and a half. I don't know exactly what the line is going to land on in your same game parlay. Let's just call it in the same game parlay is I don't know if you can do an even number. So let's do six and a half. So for leg number one, mammoth

jets under six and a half. I think the brand new mammoth traveling to Winnipeg, I'm thinking two to one jets. Lovely. Two to one jets. So for leg number two, we're going to go jets on the money line. Winnipeg, not New York. Jets on the money line. So we have under six and a half goals.

Brilliant. Jets money line. Fantastic. And then I asked you guys who had the best chance of having two plus shots on goal. And you said, Mark Schifley. Mr. Schifley. Brilliant. All right.

So there you have it. Three legs. Under six and a half for the game. It's going to be sleazy bar and burner between these two squads. No one's going to be watching this. Everyone's watching football. Jets on the money line. We're going to call this an ambush parlay because no one, it's going to come out of nowhere.

It's just going to hit. Jets on the money line for leg number two and Mr. Shifley for two plus shots on goal. Three legs. The ambush hat trick parley. Yeah. How about that? Three legs. Hat trick, there you go.

Absolutely fantastic. Bullie for Gavin. Bully, bully, bully. Brilliant. You know, that, uh, that sounds good for me. I'll sign, sign me up. Thank you, doctor. Yep, yep, no problem, gentlemen.

Very good. Very good. I'll see you. I'll see you there. I'll see you in Winnipeg. I'll see you on the other side. See you on the other side. Thank you, Gavin.

You are as brilliant as you are insightful. Absolutely brilliant work by young Mr. McHugh. Let's close out with our Saturday. Mega Parlay. team games. Daniel, should Baker pick? Or was that a red thing? Dear Baker, would you like to participate in the Megapolet choosing to? We simply go around the room and you would say a winner when I point to you. Okay. I don't know when I was playing, but yeah. That's okay. I'm going to tell you. This week, we start with myself, as, as it does. Yes. Saturday Megaparlet 13 games.

Christopher Islanders at Flyers. I'll take the Flyers. Baker, Aval. Avales. The avalanche at Bruins. The avalanche. I love that. Big Baker. I love it. I believe that that is correct. Daniel, ducks at boats.

I have to believe that Tampa Bay will get things on track. The ship must be righted eventually. I do love the ducks, but I will take Tampa Bay. Christopher, Knights at Panthers. What a game. I'll go knights. I will go Knights. Baker Mammoth at Wilde.

Wild. Yes, Baker, yes. Interesting. Daniel Sabers at Leifes. I'm going to take the Toronto Maple Leafs in this game because I do believe that the Friday fade will work in our favor and the Leafs will, they must split. They must split.

I actually love this. This could not have worked out better. Christopher, Blues at Wings, we are going wings to Brinket, Hatrick. Baker, Blue Jacket at Penguins. The Penguins. Yes, Baker, yes. Daniel, Senators at Caps. I will take the caps, my friend.

Christopher, Habs at Canucks, I will take the Habs. Baker, Kings at Predators. The Kings. Yes. Daniel, Keynes at Stars. What a game. This, oh my goodness, the elements at play in this game. I will take Carolina.

I believe this is a Miko Rantonan. revenge game that will go the other way. Dallas does not have the nuts and bolts screwed in quite right. I think Carolina will take care of business. And finally, Christopher, oil at Spunk. I will take the Spunk at home. I love it.

You usually do, you sick, sick puppet. So we have flyers. Avs, bolts, knights, wild, leafs, wings, penguins, caps, Habs, Kings, Cains, and Spock. That is the Mega Parley. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant stuff. We have all of our picks. We have all of our decisions made.

Hopefully we do better than O and Four. Because that did not go well last week. I am broke. Until... Until Sunday. Until Sunday when we are rich. Let's take an ad break, Daniel. And we will return.

Crossing Casino and Hotel. We are back, and I wanted to take you two down a road here. It might become a recurring segment here. Okay. But we dabbled a bit in this with Kat and Julie when we went on Never Offside. Yeah. And I wanted to hit you guys with some conspiracy theory talk. Okay.

I'm a big conspiracy theory guy, and I think we got to talk about them. We have a platform here. I think we need to talk about these things more openly. Me too. And I also want to potentially bring it into the hockey world to see, you know, if this maybe applies. Are either of you familiar with the reptilian conspiracy theory? No, I never heard of this. I heard of it, yeah.

Oh, you have? I knew Baker would, dude. So there is a quite popular conspiracy theory that planet Earth is, has been infiltrated by what are called reptilians, arcons, reptoids, reptiloids, saurians, draconians, or simply lizard people. Does that refer to all the same thing? There are those different. Those are all different names for the same thing. Different agents. Yeah.

So essentially the idea, which goes all, dude, way, way back to Conan the barbarian, to different forms of science fiction, novels, TV shows, movies. Yep. But the theory is that the Earth has been invaded by, we'll call them reptilians. No, can we do lizard people? We'll do lizard people. By lizard people who are shapeshifters from another dimension or another galaxy. There's differing opinions from the voices in this realm about where they came from.

Alpha Draconis is a star system where this one guy that we're going to get into, David Ick, former British footballer and sports commentator. He published a book in 1990. called the biggest secret. And it goes all into this. Yep. But dude, there are, this has been discussed

at the University of Syracuse. This has been discussed by many different conspiracy theories. David Ick really popularized this. This dude believes that lizard people from whether it be a planet

or another dimension have come to the earth and they have their shapeshifters that eat and feed on human beings but also shift into prominent political and entertainment figures. Okay.

To brainwash the human race, control them, eat them, and then, like, determine what we do. Do they have control over? Like, so if they shape shift into, oh, wait, is the, is the famous figure already famous when they shape shift into them? That's another, it's great, hey, CP, great question. I'm asking the right question. That's another one of the theories. the idea is that yes, they will occasionally take over a body and shape shift into, like, they will take, we'll get into this, Bill Clinton. Yeah.

Eat him, but then shape shift into Bill Clinton. Do they acquire Bill's memories? Do they know everything Bill knew? Yes. I think so. Who do you think? So the big ones. The Clintons, both are lizard people, according to this guy.

The Bush family Oh shit The Royals Oh Then prominent entertainers Justin Bieber He's a lizard Taylor Swift

She's a lizard Are big lizard people Conspiracy theorists Targets So if the lizard I would see why the lizard Would want to be Bieber or tea Well maybe not Bieber

Tough life But no but it's after See Bieber had This is actually a tragedy Justin Bieber lived Through atrocities Yes And then when they stopped

He was eaten by a lizard. Yeah, yeah. And now there's a lizard living the good life. Dude, so... T. Swift lizard is living large. The, you know, what the followers do. And check this out. There are documented over 12 million followers in the U.S. alone. Over 47 countries have engaged in this conspiracy theory, going to lectures, listening to, to all of these different sermons about it. Followers of what? Followers of what? This conspiracy. How do you know that? Because there are an Instagram page that calls the lizard people conspiracy?

They do literally, they have lectures. David Ick has done lectures of over 10,000 people attending. Do people pay him? He has sold dozens of books, which have all sold millions of copies. That he's like these people, he's like, Clinton is a lizard. Oh, it's a whole thing. Does Clinton address this? Well, funny you should ask.

Because in politics, Christopher, this is, this is a global. conspiracy that people think that the lizard people have come here to control the you and think about it when they get into politicians they get into people like t swift bebes they they are dictating what people do absolutely and like and it's all the lizard people and what they love to do is find pictures grainy photos on tv where there's like something weird going on on their faces and they're like it's that's their like lizard scenes like men in black it's like not fitting them right and they genuinely go look at this queen elizabeth lizard person. And the millions of them go, another one. But here you go. So in politics, right?

Prominent politics. On September 12, 2003, during the provincial election campaign in Ontario, Canada, the Ernie Eves campaign issued a news release that called opponent Dalton McGinty, a quote, evil reptilian kitten eater from another planet. That was used in a political campaign to try to defeat his opponent. He was like, dude, you are a lizard person. Was he right? Yeah, was he right? You are a lizard person. Here's another one. On March 4, 2013, a video depicting a security agent with unusual features guarding a speech by U.S. President Barack Obama was spotlighted in a wired report about shapeshifting reptilian humanoids. This led to a tongue-in-cheek response from chief national security council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden, who said,

and any alleged program to guard the president with aliens or robots would likely have to be scaled back or eliminated in the sequester. So that sounds like something someone would say if they were trying to get me away from the fact that there are aliens guarding the president. Exactly right. And dude, I'm being dead ass right. I'm reading the damn roundup right now, dude. Whenever people start going, oh, I'm going to make a joke about this thing, it's because it's real and they know that people are sniffing or around and you're trying to get them off the scent. Who? It's like when all the celebs were going like this, oh yeah, pizza parties.

And I'm like, yeah, that was happening, you fucking freaks. Yeah. Who do you think got domed up by Monica Lewinsky? Bill or the lizard? Oh, my God. Because I feel as though his name has been dragged through the mud incorrectly if there was a horny lizard. Can you imagine?

I actually think it was after. I think that was just Bill, baby. That was Bill. That's, dude. That's my. That's my guy, Bill. Because if Bill, dude, if she, how would she feel if she found out she was doming up a lizard?

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. She thought she was getting political power, dude. Turns out, hey Baker, when Clinton got domed up, it was actually the lizard. Clean got domed up? Yeah, the Oval Office, dude. Clinton got domed up in the Oval Office. Oh, wasn't Monica?

It was. Yeah. No, no, we're saying that what if? Because the Clinton's... That was a lizard, though. Oh, yes. Like, he... Bill would never, bro.

He would never do that. He respects the office. respects the Institute. There's a chance. But there was a lizard inside him and that guy was horned up. And he said, I'll catch don't. Just saying there's a chance. Yeah, I'm buying it. Me too, dude. That's actually all time. So I, again, this, this might become, you know, Danny 10, man. I'm wearing the 10th oil hat. I might bring you guys more conspiracy theories because I find this shit fascinating. But the lizard people won, when I got into all these articles about legitimate, serious political campaigns referencing lizard people calling out your opponent as a kitten eater.

You're like, dude. Now I'm like, people believe this shit. Yeah, that's insane. We've got millions and millions. And you're now, you guys are going to start what I need from the network. I need people. When you see someone on TV, politician and entertainer, and you see a weird photo and it looks like, oh, no, look at that skin. I think we got a lizard.

We got to talk. Mark Zuckerberg. Big lizard person. That actually makes sense. That's a big lizard person. But yeah, man, it's, this is big. People think the lizards are out there and they're controlling us. God, that's actually awesome. It's unbelievable. We're going to take an ad break. Then we'll get into some games.

And let's play a game before we get out of here, Dan. Today we are playing trivia factorial. This is where I give Dan. than trivia about one player. And the first one is hard, and then it gets easier and easier. If he gets it right on the first try, he gets 10 points, then 8, then 6, then 4, then 2, then 1. If he guesses, and it's wrong, he gets 0.

He's done. So you can't guess till you know, and he's trying to get as many points as possible. Are you ready, sir? Yes. I fear I made this one too easy, but hopefully not. for 10 points after the birth of his first of three children he began writing the names of each of his kids on his stick

before every game a tradition that started on his first team and has continued to his second I mean I think I know this and if you guess you're wrong you get zero should I do the first 10 spot I for the sake of the game I will give you

one strike this round only, but it can only be used here. So you can guess here, so I guess there's no risk, but you can guess here and I will let you keep playing. But if you guess on any other number and you're wrong, you're out. For the same, why don't I write down, I'm going to write down my guess. Okay. Here's my offer. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to write down my guess. And I'm telling you right now, no matter what I hear, this is my guess. And for the sake of the game and for the sake of the listeners will hear more clues. Okay. But if I turn this computer and it is correct, I get the 10 points.

Okay, deal. Deal. Deal. Okay. For eight points, a two-time world junior gold medalist and an Olympic gold medalist, his 12 goals in the World Junior tournament puts him tied with Eric Lindross and Jeff Carter for the all-time Canadian record. That, I'm not entirely sure, helped my confidence.

I don't know. I don't think it did. I don't think that helped my comment. I think I know who your guess was. So you fucked me. No, I'm just giving you facts about this person. Yeah. I think you fucked me, but maybe not.

So you don't want to guess at eight. You want more clues for the sake of the game. I've already guessed. I'm not going to change it. Okay. Well, you have to, if you think you should. For six points. Fifth in points all time for the team that drafted him.

Oh, my God, I'm fucked. Fifth in points all time for the team that drafted him. He only made the playoffs three times while there. Oddly enough, when he left, the next three years saw his old team have more playoff success in the form of deep runs than they ever had when he was around. Okay. Maybe still. I might be your right still. Okay.

But are you thinking of new people or are you just going to die on your one guest? I'm thinking. Okay. I assure you that thoughts are in my head. Okay. Okay, so do you want to go to four then? Yeah, yeah. For four points.

On May 20th, 2021, he suffered a vicious head injury when he took an accidental knee to the face from Corey Perry on the Canadians. After he had been knocked over by a hit and Perry was trying to catch up to the play. It was a very scary moment when the training staff tried to stand him up. I think I am fucked. Do you want to go to two? want to hear them in order? Again. Like, do you want to hear the data again?

No. I think that gave it to me, but I am wrong. Like, my first pick was wrong. Yep. And I am now realizing that you are a rat prick. You're just realizing this? And you've, you've tricked me. Why didn't this?

No, no, no, no, no. These clues were meant to trick me. No. No, no, no, no. You dirty scam. No, no, no, no, no. Yes, they definitely were. No, no, no, no, no.

Clues one and two are truly applicable to another human being. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I would like to guess. Okay. I think it is John Tavares. It is John Tavares, Dan. But I was wrong. Your first get was Matt Dushain.

Yeah, I knew it. You're a scumback. Well, 10 is supposed to be hard. Yes. After that, it's clearly Tavares. But two is also Dushan. He has 12 goals for Team Canada, and his top of the time. hide the Canadian record. Maybe not that. But he does have a gold medal and to... Does he have two world

juniors? Well, I think it's two world championships. Yeah. Let me look. So you, you, sir, are the rat. For two points while you're looking, it was going to be this. How many world juniors does he have? None? I don't... He has two world championships and then he has one, I-I-HF World U-18 Championships. No, different, different. So he has nothing. These are perfect Well, he has a Nothing's nothing listed Nothing listed Number for two points

As one of the biggest Free agents in league history Following the 2017-2018 season He left the team that drafted him For free And signed with his hometown team So his jersey would match His childhood bed sheets
