Ice is ready. And we're back with another episode of the empty netters podcast, brought to you by Bette MGM. And the ghosts are flooding Carolina. And they are not friendly. Not friendly. Officially not Casper's in Carolina. They're fucking poltergeist.

I want to take one quick moment to address. address. This is not a clanhood, okay? Not. I am a ghost. No one, no one thought it was a clanhood. I don't, nobody, nobody thought it was a clanhood. And then until you said that, you control the story by getting ahead of the story. You got to address it. Here's the deal, folks. The ghosts are real. You're looking right at them. Everyone thought that Carolina would be fine. Actually, maybe no one did. No, dude, a ton of people thought Carolina would be fine.

A ton of people thought Carolina. A lot of Carolinans. Carolinians. Carolinians? Carolinians. Oh, that's cool. There's one guy that I keep seeing popping up on Twitter, who's a big Keynes fan, and he's calling himself the Keynes Confederacy,

and he keeps making all these photos with the Confederate flag, and I'm like, Joe, chill, stop. That's bad of juju. Yep. That's why ghosts exist.

The, I can't believe sometimes you get signs when they go, this is what's going to happen. Yeah. The canes can't win game one. The can't win

the Easter conference finals. Rest can't beat Rust. All the signs pointing to a Kane's loss. All of it. That it felt like there were too many signs. that the canes would have to win.

Yeah. And then it turns out there were not too many signs. They were the signs. It was a roadmap. That they lose. Straight aura. Yeah.

They lay lost to fucking aura. Please. Just enough with the aura. We'll get into the aura. Because you, I hate it. Or I don't hate it. I love it. I love the habs.

You're right. Their aura is dripping off of them. Wait, wait. How do you love the habs? I mean, aren't they a big Bruins rival? So that's what's, that's actually been funny. someone online last night was like,

respect so much how you guys love the habs. Shouldn't you hate the habs? And it's, since the beginning of the Netter show, it was like the early days of them, you know, hiring Marty. Yeah. Then, and also we got Cole Cofield, we've got Lane Hudson, like we've got great U.S. players of all time. They're on the haps.

And then how do you not love Suzuki? I love Dobson. I love Matheson. I think he's one of the most underrated. rated defensemen in the league. Love Fowler, BC guy. And it's like, so you're a fan of the players, not so much the team. I think they're so fun. They're fast, man. They're fast and young. They're fast. They're also, they've been so good to us, the Habs and like going to the Bell Center and all the Canadians fans also, like, they know

we grew up Boston fans. They could have been mean to us. They've always been so nice to us. I've got nothing but love for them. But they are just, like, I love them, dude, because it's just, they are so fun to watch. Look at that game last night. Oh, yeah. They're unbelievable. But that game, top to bottom,

was a nightmare, nightmare, nightmare, nightmare, nightmare, nightmare, nightmare, nightmare, nightmare. For the Carolina Hurricanes. Yes, it was. I mean, it was like, hey, are you guys rusty? Oh, my God, yes. Hey, remember when we were throwing out all those stats, how the top line for the Habs can't score 5V5? I think they combined had like eight points.

Nightmare. And then also, remember how you guys have never won a game one in the Eastern Conference Final? Nightmare. Remember how you are now 1 and 17 in the Eastern Conference since 20, or Eastern Conference Finals since 2006? Nightmare. Like, it is, everything went wrong.

Dude, you're leaving out the biggest nightmare of them all. Don't, you're going to, you're going to sewer him? Yes, dude. Freddie Anderson goes, I've given up 10 goals in eight games. and I had every Keynes fan on earth in my ear. Like, this is the difference. You want to ask what? Because everyone goes, same old Keynes.

And they go, no, no, no. Look how dominant we've been through two rounds. That's different. And everyone else goes, dude, you played the eight and seven seed in the east, respectfully. I know. So I don't miss me with all your fucking, look how dominant we are in the sweep. And they go, fine, fine, who cares? The difference is Freddie.

We've always come up short in goaltending in the third round. Freddie is unbelievable. He's unconscious. He's 9-50, save percentage, one, one, two goals against. It's ridiculous. Freddie hasn't given up fucking more than two goals in one game. He gives up four goals. He gave up two in less than five minutes. He gave up two and four shots, Dan. It was like, uh-oh, that I couldn't imagine being a Keynes fan at that game. Yeah. The ghosts must have been, you must have felt like you were in the haunted mansion at Disneyland. Dude, I got a bunch of texts, and granted, there was not a lot of window for this time to even happen. So consider that.

But I got a bunch of texts after that Jarvis goal of just like, oh my God, I know. Oh, yeah. I thought, okay, here we go. They were the Keynes fans were texting me like, people acting like this was going to be a fucking series. You know what it was. That Jarvis 20 seconds in. And they almost scored before that. Blake had the rap.

Like, they almost scored 10 seconds in. And then Jarvis did score. And I was like, oh, my God. You know what was crazy was it. It was like a horror movie where everything's fine at first. You show up to camp, Evan. Yes. What's the camp in Friday the 3rd?

Camp Crystal Lake. Wow. Snipe job. I knew he would know that. You show up to Camp Crystal Lake. It's a beautiful sunny day. Everyone's skinny dipping in the lake. You're playing games.

It's fun. And then that's the Jarvie goal. Yep. And then it's nighttime. You're sitting by the campfire and someone goes off to get more graham crackers chocolate and marshmallow. And next thing you know, your head's getting lopped off by a machete. No, no, no, no.

That person doesn't come back. Because it's subtle at first, which was the Caulfield goal. But that person got their head lopped off. For sure, but we don't know that yet. Well, the people at the fire don't. But we know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right.

But that's the Coffield goal. We go, oh, shit. Where did he go? What was funny is that I don't even think the Caulfield goal was fully the ghosts coming out. The Caulfield goal was everyone at the campfire going, where's Dave? Yes, exactly. And then it was the second goal that was like, oh, dear gosh. People are getting murdered here.

Yeah, I thought after that, after it was tied, then maybe the game would like settle down. And then it would be okay, it'll be one one for a while. And then like the canes will take over. Yeah. But absolutely did not happen. No. That was fucking crazy. No.

It was crazy. Um, Dan, okay. Liz says, are you going to remove the hood? Are we doing the whole episode like this? and Vixen says, is he going to commit to this bit the whole pod, please say yes. So I'm not sure what your plan is, but the people are wondering. How hot is it getting in there? It's actually not that.

It looks pretty sheer. Yeah, it's not that bad. This isn't that heavy of a, of, I mean, I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'm not wearing anything. Yeah, he is a ghost. Well, I am a ghost. You all know that Dan's been dead for 20 years. Yes.

He's ever been here. People are finally learning that I am actually a Carolina ghost. You go back and watch old. I dare you all to go back. back and watch old Netters, YouTube, it's just me talking to no one. There's no one here. I've been sitting here by myself for four years. When in 2013, I went to pick up Chris at Duke when he graduated and I died at shooters in Carolina. And ever since, I've been a Carolina ghost.

Yeah, correct. And then Dan, Darren, who I believe is the same guy who said, dude, where's my car? I believe that was Darren. Darren says, Dan's not even here. that's the ghost of conference past. Dude. Darren's goat. Darren is so fucking.

Can you come right for the show? Seriously. Darren, we got a job we were waiting for you, pal. This guy's fucking dialed. Unbelievable. I can't believe how bad that went. Oh, wow.

This is a great shirt idea. We just stole another t-shirt. Okay. What is it? We've now have another t-shirt steal. Thank you. It looks like Antoine. It says,

sweep Caroline. No, it's sweet Caroline? Yeah, well, sweep. Sweep Caroline. If that, stop giving us free content, guys. This is unbelievable. Actually, you know, keep doing it.

It's amazing. The great thing about the live is we could just have no preparation. Yeah, you just keep going. Give us some ideas. That's going to be a great headline for if Montreal does this. I can't believe how poorly that went. And I, I, I, so there was someone online who was like,

dude, this isn't just rusts. Montreal's great. And that is 100% true. And we're going to get all into that. But you cannot ignore the fact that Carolina looked so asleep at the wheel. It was unbelievable.

And one big one was what I think Slavin finished that game, dash four or something. And Rod got asked after the game. Someone was like tough, you know, Slavin dashed four, you know, tough game for him. And Rod was like, oh yeah, that was awful. I don't think I've ever seen that.

It was Rod's responses where after the first period, Rod was like, they look, they're so fast. It's like, he was so honest all game and I love it. He was not making any excuses.

He was like, we're getting fucking ragdolled out here, pal. It stopped the fight. It was crazy. Okay. So the spin zone, oh, actually I wanted to say this too. This,

uh, we posted the Ghostbusters thing yesterday. Yeah. And I, had so many people hitting me up being like, wow, that aged well. Looks like the canes aren't going to sweep the haves. I clapped at those people too because I was like,

can you guys have a more of attention span than a fucking five-year-old kid and just watch the whole clip? Dude, you didn't even need the whole clip. The beginning of the clip is, if the canes come to the rink in Ghostbuster costumes, they will sweep. Did they show up in Ghostbuster costumes? No.

They didn't. When did we post that? like two hours before the game. Yeah, yeah. They didn't have enough time to source those costumes. You know what? If someone's doing their job,

they could have done it. They could have. So I'd be like, I never said the canes were going to sweep the half. I said they would, they would if they all came into ghost buster. The reality is this.

If they had taken this seriously, if they had acknowledged the ghosts, because Marty always says it. Marty's like, those guys aren't thinking about this. And I'm like, well, maybe they should. Yeah. Maybe we should stop ignoring the fact

that you are one 17 in the Eastern Conference Finals since 2006 and go maybe something's going on here. Yep. Sometimes you got to acknowledge the ghosts. Yes, dude, because it would be helpful to you. Go like this. Hey, boys, this is humiliating. We get pumped in the

Eastern Conference Finals every fucking year and it's stupid. And why don't we go out and play a good game? Dude, I swear these teams you know, they should do the thing from the 1980 Olympics when everybody went, why

are we playing the Soviets in a scrimmage? And then we get fucking piss pumped 12-0 or whatever it was. And then everyone's pissed off. But then we asked OC when he came on the fucking show. We asked those guys, and I think it came up in the new Netflix doc, we asked those guys what they thought about that game. And they were like, dude, I swear that game helped us. Because the Soviets felt like we're going to kill these guys, whatever. You know what I mean? That was actually a win. The Keynes, or any team that has a long rest like this, you need to schedule some kind of scrimmage and legitimately, like, you need to do something. Wait, did they not practice or play for 11 days?

They practice for sure. And dude, I have never, I have something to say about the goalies we can get to in a second. We did. This is allegedly, allegedly, but we had someone online hit us up and be like, I, I'm a, cart girl at this, like, course in Carolina and like the entire team was golfing like two days ago. No. But that's okay.

That's fine. That's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying like they had so much time off that they were like we can golf. Yeah. So I, but everybody says you need especially for the goalie. And again, this will get into the golies in a second. But I've never felt more validated by saying the person the rest hurts the most is goalies because you need live rounds.

Even your boys at practice can't simulate what it's like. No doubt. And Freddie's only get, Freddie can't get scored on. And if Freddie looked like a fucking piece of Swiss cheese in the first period. He's also not to disparage him personally, but this is also the goalie that did have some, like, mental health things, right? Is that the...

He had some real health things. He had a heart thing. And a blood clot. Yeah, that's right. Freddy's the man. But Freddie, but Freddie, Ev, has been pumped in the third round every year. Really? Yeah, like, every year.

It's bad. The third round, it's bad. I mean, look at it, man. One in 17. You can't ignore this anymore. I think you got to call somebody, dude. Look at me. Look at me. Carolina.

I can't. You're a ghost. Look at me. Dan. Carolina, your fans, your team, look at me. Look at me. This is real. This is a ghost staring you in the face. There are ghosts in the arena.

There are ghosts in this round. And you have to do something about it. Stop ignoring it. Stop acting like nothing's going on here. I'm right here. I am fucking haunting you. So you need to acknowledge. it and do something. And I legitimately think about how much we talk about how funny the Canes

admin is. You have to acknowledge this too. Yes. Do your job. This will take care of it. I mean, it's that game, two one, three one, after three one, we were like, holy shit, you have to take out Freddie. Four one, I was like, this is insane. Now, I do want to talk about that. I actually think I respect it worked out. I think it worked out keeping Freddie in. What do you think about that. I thought that was a ballsy move by Rod and I think it worked out. I think it did not work out.

Okay. I would have pulled Freddie immediately the second, the third goal went in for a couple reasons and someone just said this too. I have a response. Someone said and Bussie hasn't played in almost two months now which is such a good point because you're a whole like we have a tandem. I'm like well he is irrelevant now

because he is also not seen live rounds since January. I have response. Go on. I think if you, I think keeping him in was the one example of Carolina acknowledging the ghosts. I think if they yanked him, it would have been, that would have been so much fuel for Montreal. Yep. They go, holy shit, we chased him. We chased him immediately in the first period.

Yep. And imagine that as Freddie, right? because no matter what you're losing that game, you put Bussy in, who knows what happens. But in my opinion, even if Bussy slams the door and you lose 4-2, you don't start Bussy game too. I also think they were helped by, oh, sorry, go ahead. Well, just to finish, I think leaving Freddie in

was such a good vote of confidence from Rod to him. And he only let in one goal after that. Like he shut down all of period two and gave up a, you know, one goal in period three. Like, I think it was a... I was going to say period two, like, they dominated play so much. Yeah. Okay, like there's a chance we could climb back in and not going to do it.

I think if it didn't go that way, there was a better chance they would have pulled him if period was a nightmare. Yes. I think it was a good vote of confidence for Freddy's mentality. And it let him get some of the rust off. See some more shots. And he played well. Again, I always believe when it's... team gets that much of a lead, they step off the gas

a little bit. But did you see that stat in the third period? I think Elliot, can you one of you look up Elliot's Twitter feed? He was like, unless there's a correction, the Keynes went 18 minutes and something seconds. I think it was like 38 seconds without a shot on goal in the third period. The Canes did? Yeah.

I mean, dude. And I'm like, yeah, so here's my thing. I think we've seen many times in this playoffs, a team, especially in Montreal games, a team give a bunch of goals, pull their goalie, Bussy comes in, shuts the door at three,

and the canes come back and win this game. They win four, three, you know, and it's like not that shocking. So I would have got him out immediately in that moment. I certainly would have taken them out when the fourth one went in. And I'll tell you when I actually

one billion percent would have pulled them, Dan, and you're going to laugh. When one minute into the second, someone rang the pipe. And it was right before Carolina scored, but I would have been like, dude, it was cool. Yeah, I'm like, you can't save anything, dude.

Dude, and I will say, no offense, Freddy, he knew nothing about that shot. Yes. Cole fucking absolutely nipped that one. That was one of those ones where, like, when it hits the post that hard and clean and straight on, you feel it in your bones. And Freddie turned, totally misread it, and then saw it bouncing out, and you could see his body language, was kind of like, oh, did that hit the twine?

And now it's bouncing out. Yeah. But then they were like, quick, other way. We'll score. Transition, goal. And I was like, whoop. Was it Carolina went 1838 without a shot in the three? third period? Yes.

Yeah. That is so unacceptable. I know because you feel like they had so much momentum in the second. And because what is it with Montreal taking the second period off? Is it like a French thing where they take those long lunches? Well, it's because the long change of. They're having a little cigarette.

They're just like, let's have a long lunch. And I'm not going all the way down there. I didn't say. Do you think there's anything to that second period? Obviously like I mean, I feel like you can't say there's anything to it based on that third period stat. That is just so unacceptable.

But do you think that there was any sign of life from Carolina in the second and the third where it was like, people were like, they're still in this game. If that third period had started in Carolina scored five minutes in to make it four three, everyone would have been like, oh my God. Yes, because Carolina, 1,000 percent, this is their spin zone. Yeah. Because the, it finished 5-2, right? 6-2. 6-2. What was the fifth goal? A couple of empty, or the fifth-fifth goal was Slavis Wau-Wa-Doodle around. We have a shot of it.

That was nasty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was nasty. Can I see? I can see. No, that was also nasty. That was Gulf 4. That was Demidoff.

Gross. But then, um, the, uh, so the Keynes fan spin zone is 1,000%. Okay, you were all completely correct.

We were extremely rusty. Yeah. That was actually hard. Take it easy with these highlights. We're going to get demonetized. No, no. It's loop. These are fine, dude.

We're already demonetized. Yeah. Why? Because of the clanhood? We can't make you think we're making money off of this shit? No, it's not a clanhood. You're a ghost. That's true.

The Keynes Confederacy guy loves me right now. The Keynes fan spin zone. The Kane's team, fuck the fans. The Kane's team spin zone is this. R bad. You were 100% right. We were extremely rusty. We jumped into a first period against a team that has been in rhythm,

chomping at the bit. they rammed it down our throats we were asleep it was 4-1 before we could fucking blink and then after that it was one one hockey game where they scored an empty netter we are completely fine now we are in rhythm now we'll be ready game two and we're good that's that is their spin zone um but it's just it puts a lot of pressure on game two because now it's it's fucking wake up don't hit the snooze button again pal because if you don't wake up for game two and you lose and you've dropped both home games and now you're going to Montreal where they haven't even been that good but now you're going to Montreal and you've got the stigma we said it with Marty if this cane it's the canes who only get swept if they go down 02 at home they're going oh my god yeah let me let me say this before before we get into the habs this is my last ghost comment is that true oh geez CP just got a stat let me say this There were a lot of Keynes fans, you know, we're being hyperbolic and having fun on X last night, being like, Keynes are dead, blah, blah, blah. And a bunch of people are like, you're giving up on this team already and this and that. I think that they did show some life. I think that they, I think that the rust is so real.

And also, hand up, old, the living version of Dano, hand up, I was wrong. Rust is real. I have spent weeks being like, I don't think rest is a big. Zach, what are you fucking giggling about, dude? I'm just, I'm just, you went on and on and on and on and on about. Oh, yeah. About how Russ was going to be a factor.

They would come out and pump them. The young kids aura doesn't exist, all that shit. And here we are. You're in a ghost costume. And we're talking about demons. You're right. You're right. Rust is definitely real. I mean, this Habs team is so good, so young, so fast. But we're acting like guys like fucking Seth Jarvis and Svetnikov and Kiannikov and Kiannoyler don't exist.

Like the Keynes aren't this slow. So that was, I thought that was Rust on full displays, dude. Like they looked legitimately like they were out until 7 a.m. the night before. Yeah, playing guilty. playing guilty. Like they were so dead. That was insane. So I think that there is a spin zone. I think that there's life. I think they showed signs of life as they got into the game a little bit more. But to your point, CP, this game two is the most game seven I've ever seen in my life for Carolina. And I will tell you what, if you don't do something about the ghosts, if you don't acknowledge me, witness me, acknowledge it, and do something about it.

If you lose game two, this series is fucking Hova. Dunions. So Carolina, like, you better fucking believe it. Oh,

oh, yeah. Oh, acknowledge the ghost. Acknowledge the ghost. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

who yeah, ooh, la, oh, Carolina, Rada, Vaugh. Is this,

what is this? What is this? Yeah, and then you just blow the smoke. smoke everywhere. Get in there. Get in there.

Oh, you're going to light it with the candle. I like it. We are trying to help you, Carolina. You can also just do that with a lighter. Oh, my God. Yes. Sage. Carolina, this is what you need to do.

Witness me. Acknowledge my existence. Acknowledge my spirit. Because the ghosts are flooding you. They're all around you. And you can't deny them anymore. And I'm telling you, yeah, if you lose game two, this series is over. There will be no coming over, overcoming rather, that mental battle.

That is correct, Dan. And here's what I want your take on. Should I take the ghost thing off now to talk about Montreal? Sure. Okay. Can I, before you take it off, I dead ass. I just real quick, I got to tell this. So today on my way in, there was two signs. And I want to be on your side here, okay?

Yeah. First thing was, we're in L.A. I legitimately hand a guide Arnold Schwarzenegger passed my car parking today, which was amazing. Was he on his bike? He was on his bike. Yeah, he's often on his bike. Yeah, he almost hit my mirror. It was amazing. The second thing, this honest to God did happen. I was on the phone. I have witness proof. The Ghostbusters. It was a van. It wasn't the full exosom, but the go a van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A van. A that had like there was a bunch of stuff on top so it didn't look like the full ecto but it had the ghost posters logo everything attached to it past me today out in front of the office today.

I am dead ass. So what do you how do you feel now because you're the aura god? I'm on with the aura but I was you know I want to see good things happen for Dan and I I I want to see it happen for Dano and I was like I was like that's a sign like I legitimately I saw it I was like the ghostbusters are here were ready and it it was amazing. So the kids. So Keynes win game two for sure. I kind of have the thought philosophy, yes. I want to be very clear before I rip this ghost cloak off. I am not rooting for either team here.

I really believe in this Carolina team and for them, for the love of God, I would love to see them overcome some of these ghosts. But if you think I'm not fucking fully torqued, hold on. You need the mic. You need the mic. Are you going to fart into that mic? Oh. If you think I'm not fully torched at the idea of getting to go to Montreal for the final, you're out of your mind.

Why don't we go for game four? Don't fucking give me any ideas. We can fly Tuesday and be back Thursday. Here's legitimately the problem. I literally think I can't go because, and you may be just going to avoid this, my passport expires January 6th. 27th, 2027, but you aren't allowed to travel if it's within six months of expiration, which is June. That means we got to go now.

Which means I mean to submit my passport now for rush. Wait, is that June or is that July? You will absolutely be fine. January? No, dude, there's a rule. No, there is a six-month rule. Actually, we might need to rely on the chat here, but I'm pretty certain. You're right.

It's July. I think it's July. I think December would be June. Oh, dude. so we're golden. We're money. But I will also say this. Holy fuck. That is an exception for us.

That is like the dumbest rule. It's insane. I think three months is fine. Six months is over killing. You can't get out of a country in six months. Can you imagine trying to go somewhere and being like, here's my passport and they go, that actually expires in six months? And you go, yeah.

Yes. So? And they go, yeah, you can't use it. I'm like, what? What are you talking about? What's the point of an expiration date if we're not honoring it? And I was going to say, I should be able to smoke this to the filter. Yeah.

Dude, the other thing that sucks is when you send it for, when you say, hey, I need a new one, the second you hit submit on that, they deactivate your current one. Yeah. So you have this gap of like, I'm waiting for the, I'm like, dude, I can't travel now. It's insane. You might have to drive, road trip. And put me in the trunk, dude. Steak me in the trunk with the woodca.

That would be. Put the vodka in the trunk and Chris. The content that would come from us road tripping from California to Montreal would be unbelievable. We'd kill each other. Dude, I know we told the story last live, but I remember thinking the first time I went into Montreal and I got stopped at the border. The guy goes, the guy was piss Sam Mason and me. And he goes, get out of the car.

We go sit on the bench. This is when we had the vodka in the shin pads. And he goes, sit on the bench. And we sit on this bench and they're digging through my car. And Sam's like, do you think they're going to find the vodka in our shitting pads? And I was like, fuck, baby. I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen.

if we did blah blah blah and it occurred to me all you have to do to catch anybody is go we're going to search your car please go sit on that bench and just put a mic on that bench and then they just sit there the whole time oh yeah and go oh no I hope they don't find the blank right here and you're like got them thank you so much yeah that's like dude that's surveillance brother

that's illegal kind of you're not Canada dude Canada is sneaky calling you this dude we're fine I want to I want to get into a Montreal stroke off session nope not yet I got one more thing so I want your take on this okay goalies took off the coaxed. Goleys. I do this all the time.

So I'm hand up. I'm guilty of this. The, those weren't his fault. Take. Right. And again, I just all the time,

when it's a breakaway, when it's a two-on-one back door one T, I'm like, that's not his fault. Because it isn't, right? Like, a lot of those are unsavable. I'll say this.

A backdoor one-timer is unsavable because you're like, whatever. But our boy Phil was heavy on that. Like, I was like, this is brutal for Freddie. And he was like,

What do you want him to do? Exactly. And, dude, I, again, I'm so guilty of this. I do this with Bruins Goes all the time where I'm like, it was a breakaway. Like, we shouldn't be giving up point-blank shots to Cole Cofield in the slot. Yeah, that point break was, that was brutal. Breakaway on the second one. Breakaway, Demit off.

I just, let me see the third. The third one was, you didn't like the third one. I did not like this one. Oh, yeah, yeah. So fast. Just the, their passing is fucking crisp. I didn't love that one And I think it was mostly

I mean Who is that? Is that Slavis? Oh, oh, oh. Who got torched? Well, he didn't even get torched. He just like doesn't even do anything to text. Yeah.

I think it is. He didn't see it. Yeah. No one can't think. I mean, that that is harsh. It's harsh to get on Freddie about that one. But to me, my mentality is like if you were a consmife candidate,

which he was going into this game, you got to stop the bleeding, dude. Like you got to make it safe. This is my exact point, dude. It's the, and again, I say it's all the time, so I'm a hypocrite. But the, it wasn't his fault. I'm like, dude, I know they're not his fault, but you need to steal those. Yeah.

If you're, the whole narrative was like, Freddie, Freddie is dialed. If you're dialed, you stop both those breakaways. And everyone goes, thank God, Freddy's dialed. It's, I'm like, now you're not dialed. The Keynes, uh, I, like, even, I, no offense, like, that Slaff move. I'm like, that, like, how does that get under your pad, pal? Like, he obviously, Slaff walks the, the, shit out of fetch, but like, I'm kind of like, dude, this isn't a great move. Like, how does that get

under you? But whatever. I think the, I think the canes need to pull a Ted lasso on this one, and they need to sit in a room together, watch this entire game on 2x speed with that, when a b'ababab ban on a bannab ban on a bambanab ban on a bambanabon a bany hill music. That's what they got to watch. And it'll help them get through it. sex. Yeah. That is what they need to do. Because, like, this was just so bad that it's like, dude, you don't linger on this.

This wasn't your game. Yep. Move on. Yep. Absolutely correct. Okay. Wow. A lot of people saying Canada doesn't, the six month doesn't apply to U.S. Canada.

Oh, I believe that. Remember back in the fucking good old days when all you had to bring was a birth certificate? That was sick. Yeah. Copy of the births. I show the picture of my phone. Yeah. I go.

Here you go, dude. I was born once. Come on in. Eat all the poot. tin and drink all of our booze. I'm like, hell yes, dude. I can't believe that happened. I was, I, that, I've never

have I been like, man, y'all, but that was like, y'all just brought a birth certificate back in the day? Oh, yeah, dude. Isn't that crazy? That's wild. I go, dude, I was once born. And they go, come on in. Yeah. Actually, here's a funny, fun question for you

in your youngens. Do you have your social security card? Yes. Isn't it funny? I don't know what yours looks like. Mine is printed on fucking tissue paper. It's printed on felt. It's unbelievable. And I'm like, and they're like, don't lose this.

I'm like, well, it's going to catch on fire if it's a hot day out. Like, what the fuck? It's insane. Yeah, it's insanely. It could literally blow away like dust. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. A strong gust and it would disintegrate. Yeah.

Not only blow away. It would disappear. God damn. It's unbelievable. Okay, dude. the Habs, if you're the Havs, and you now go, we are incapable of losing two games in a row, so that's impossible. That means that you have now officially made it to the cup, because if the Cains win game two, you automatically win game three. If the Cains win game four, you automatically win game five.

If the Cains win game six, you automatically win game seven. You are incapable of losing two in a row, so now you have officially qualified for the cup. How do you recommend Habs fans celebrate today, knowing that they have made the cup. This, I mean, I am a baby. So I, this is kind of my take always. You've heard me talk about this with multiple sports. I get so afraid of bulletin board material that I never peacock. Yeah.

I'm never one to be like, if I were a Habs fan right now, instead of doing the fucking suck me, Carolina. You losers, you, your idiots, you thought you were going to do that. I would just gas up the boys. I would be like, look at that. Boom. You know, said the top dogs couldn't score 5 v.5. How about that?

I would just gas up the boys and not talk shit because the bulletin board material scares me. And you just don't want to be that guy providing receipts. You never want to provide receipts. Yep. So I would not I No offense to the canes It's only been one game

Yep But if you win this series Montreal Your greatest test is the cup Those two teams in the West Will be a greater test Even Vegas Absolutely even Vegas man Okay

Okay And you got to save your celebration Because they're gonna need you They're gonna need you Cause an earthquakes Yeah So don't empty the tank now because I was over here earlier this week saying I'm actually did it I'm mashing a future on the Habs winning a cup next year oh yeah you said that um and I'm now being like do they have a chance here this year and we we we talked about every what who what goalie I think it was dobesh I was like dobesh is pulling a Tim Thomas here he's pulling a J.S. Jaguer yeah I think he might be uh he's not he didn't face that many shots in this game but he's not he didn't face that many shots in this game.

but like Dobesh is a dog He kind of did too They got some shots It wasn't that many It's not like it wasn't a nine shot game Yeah These habs yeah yeah Yeah um yes he is

And he said he could play 40 more Which he can because he's a rookie And he's got young knees Yes He's got young rubbery knees And uh The thing is dude They can win

They can win the cup Um It's an interesting State The series is an interesting place Because game one of course Is someone actually said it Way earlier

that they were like, I'm reserving judgment till game two. But game one is overreaction station, population everyone on us. Yes. Always, in every series. And the issue is right now, I want to go, holy shit, the Habs. Look at them, they're too fast. They're too fast for Carolina. But there's a very possible universe where the canes go, we win in five.

Well, here's the thing. I was saying this, like, look, I'm very, I obviously like the- Go Habs, go. Canadians, just because I need to root for something. I cannot just watch clinically. I have to have a stake. And now that my penguins are gone, I'm going to jump on this bandway. I love it.

However, I was looking at that game. I'm like, yeah, we won game one to look great. But don't forget that we were literally an overtime goal in Game 7 way from not even being in this series. Correct. Like, it could have been Buffalo. And losing to Tampa, like Game 7 Tampa was you had nine shots. Exactly. So it's like, yeah, they keep getting by on the skin of their teeth.

which is cool, but you wonder, like, is that a game plan, or is that just like, we're just kind of skating by, you know what I mean? But sometimes that's how it goes, right? Well, the vibes are great.

Vives are so high. So, yeah, the game one, it's hard to say anything. But I gave you the cane spin zone already of, yeah, man, it's fine. You'll, you just write that one off to rest. I think that they, if this,

It would have been a better narrative, obviously. This is fucking a dumb take, but it would have been a better narrative if they lost that game 5-4 after getting dummied in the first, and they went, we're fine. Oh, I totally agree. We were just sloppy in the first because we haven't played.

Honestly, man, even 5'3. Yeah. If they, because they start the game with the Jarvie goal, then they get the second goal, which was nasty. But that second period, it felt like Buffalo, Montreal game 7, where I was like, how did you survive that period? I kind of felt for Carolina, I was like, you've got to score.

Yeah. Like you've got a score here to end this period. But they didn't. And I was like, all right, come out hot. And then they go almost an entire period without getting a shot. Yeah. Even if they had lost 5-3, 6-3. Getting that third goal, I think, would have made them feel so alive.

But this is why I'm like, again, they didn't give up, or they didn't get any fucking shots in the third period. But this is why I'm like, Dobesh is fucking nasty. Yeah. And fucking A man, this team. This HAB's team is just like, everyone's talking about how the world was underestimating Vegas. I think the world was underestimating this team. What if it's Vegas and Montreal in the final?

Dude, it'll be awesome. It'll be awesome. I do think the Paddy Wah series of Montreal, Colorado would be very cool. Oh, nice. That's cool. That's cool. One of my boys picked that in his bracket. That's sick.

And he sent me as an ass guy. And he sent that to like, you know, obviously before playoffs started because he picked the bracket. And I was like, abs, abs. Okay. And now I'm like, dude. I have two questions for you. Why do we think so many fans, so many random fans, hate Carolina. Oh, yeah.

Because I'm seeing a lot of hate online for Carolina. Is it because they were so good all year? I don't know. I think it's a, and I'm not even talking about the clowning on Carolina. I get why Carolina gets, we just saw it. Yep. I get why they. get clowned on. But I feel like there's a lot of hate for Carolina, too. I get the hate for Vegas.

I don't agree with it, but I get the Vegas hate. The Carolina hate is very confusing to me. Is it just Southern hockey? I think it's a combo of Southern hockey. Actually, yeah, I think it's Southern hockey, small market. Right. Like, it's small market Southern hockey. Not a ton of history. I think they have the one cup, right? Correct. One cup. And, no superstar, right? Like, I don't think they, I can't recall them ever even having a guy that we all go, oh my God, you are a mega star on this team. Rico Rantinan, it was amazing.

They did have Miko. They did have Miko Rantin. And it was, I mean, they had NACIS too. Yeah, but neither of those guys are superstars. Yeah, I think maybe Miko. Natrice is pretty, I mean. No, no, he's not. He's pretty close to a superstar.

Nope, he is not. And they have great. players obviously. Like if you're making team, if you're Seth Jarvis making team Canada over and over again, you are a fucking stud. But they don't have a name brand superstar. Yes. Small market, Southern hockey. There's just a lot of reasons to not care about the Cains. And then their performances, the way they've lost just adds all the, I swear they would get so much less without that shit. Yeah, someone's getting murdered outside. Oh, those are the ghosts. Oh my God. It's right. You got a lot out, brother. Did bro that out, yeah. No, no, no, no. This is, we know. We

need to acknowledge them. Acknowledge the ghost. It's okay. We appreciate you. We will help you finish your business. I think you are right. I think it's a combination of you just, they are not taken seriously. Yeah.

And they're not taken seriously. And then all year in the regular season, when Keynes fans, Keynes Media is like, this team is the best team in the East, all of you need to fucking recognize. People are like, you guys are fucking assholes. Like, stop trying to tell us that you're. serious and then you do the same thing every year. So I do think that's probably. And there's some good shit in the chat here.

They, uh, people don't like their jerseys, ugly logo, ugly jerseys, which I kind of hear. Um, a lot of people from Connecticut stole my whaler,

so I hate that. And then also people saying, um, uh, oh, David was like, we don't know if they'd have a superstar because of Rod's system. And they play boring hockey for the most part,

which is true. So all those things I really compile, I think compile into not liking them. And, dude, this one will be like the final straw. Like if they get pumped by the abs. They're like, I said this to Chris walking out of Jameson last night. I will never talk about the canes again if they get swept in this series.

You were high on them all season. I've been supporting them all season. If they lose in seven, I will not, they do not deserve any shit from anybody because this Montreal team is phenomenal. If they lose in six, kind of. If you lose in five or four, I will never speak about this team again.

Because I can't, and that's not me being a fuck you. I'm saying, I can't. I have nothing to say anymore. I will have exhausted all of my support and adoration. Because if you get swept or get gentlemen swept, there's nothing to say. We're fucking sitting over here talking about

how they're the first team since 85 to double sweep. And now here they are getting absolutely fist-fucked in game one again. And I'm like, there's nothing to say. So this brings me into my next discussion. And then I have a really fun hypothetical for you, or not even hypothetical, but something to think about. Okay. My next discussion is this. Are we worried that the HABs are potentially going to win too soon and become villains?

Oh. Well, think about it. You mean win what? The cup. Think about it. Montreal, for better or worse. Everybody loves them right now. For better or worse, Montreal is a very hated franchise by other hockey fans because

26 cups. Yeah, they're the Yankees. They're the Yankees. They have all those cups in the early days of the NHL when there's fucking six teams. And everyone is like, what are you talking about? Dude, those cups are fake, blah, blah, blah. There's a lot of ammunition to hate them. If you were a Bruins fan in the 90s and early,

2000s, like they had a really ratty type team. And even in the peak Gallagher days, like, they were really ratty. And it was easy to hate them. Carrie Price, best goaltender on planet Earth, easy to hate because he was so good. Now they're likable. They're so likable. I'm over here in love with them. Yes. If they win too early, do we worry that people are going to hate them too quick? Okay. People will pretty quickly go back to hating them. but A, it'll take a little while because it's kind of takes after two once you, if you go back to back or if you win two out of three

then, so it'll take a little while and the Havs fans don't give a fuck. Bring on the hate. Oh no, they don't care. You bring me all the cups you want. They don't give me all the hate. I'm talking about for me. This has nothing to do with Habs fans.

Of course not. They'll fucking win whenever they want. I'm talking about for me because I'm over here loving this. Okay, then for you... But then if all of a sudden... Yeah, you will hate them next year. Young...

I don't want that. You will hate them next year. I want to keep rooting for this. They'll be leading the Atlantic. They're going to get smug. Yeah, they'll be leading the Atlantic. I'm going to look at my fucking boys. I'm going to look at Cole and Lane

and all of a sudden they're walking around like this. Yep. Look, I'm a... I'm a Stanley Cup champion. And I have to be like... They got tattoos now. No. Boom, boom.

Chandley Cup champion right here. I'm worried they might peek too early. Lane's got the cup tattooed right here. That would be unbelievable. I would actually respect that. Yeah. Can you imagine if someone got a full Stanley Cup face tattoo? Dan, actually, what if, what if Lane, what if they win a cup and Lane shows up the next day with a Stanley Cup tattoo on his face?

But it's like small and right here because he's like, I had to leave room for the eight that I want to get across my face. That would be smug. I would love him even more than. Okay. Now here's something to think about for you guys. Okay? Yep. This is from Nick on Instagram.

Hell yeah, Nick. He goes longtime listener. This is something that you should address. It goes Carolina, one in 17, the Eastern Conference Final since they, or excuse me, one in 13 in the Eastern Conference Final

since they stole the Hartford Whalers jersey. Colorado now wears the Quebec Nordique's jersey, and they are now down 01 to Vegas. Stolen valor, karma. So the two teams that have, as their alternate jersey, have used the old franchise jersey,

are now a combined one and 14 in the conference finals. That is actually crazy, dude. How do they exercise it? I think, unfortunately, they either have to wear the Whalers jersey in a playoff game, which I don't know if it's allowed or not, but they either need to wear the Whalers jersey and just go address the ghost. Or they have to go out and kill a whale. Or they have to kill a whale.

Or they have to go on a harpoon trip and kill a whale. Yeah. And YouTube live it. I don't know about the a V's. What is it Nordique? Yeah, what is a Nordique? What do you do with a Nordique? You kill one, you kill him.

You kill him. You got to kill a guy. They got to kill a person. Dude, Nate's like, no problem. Give me the fucking gun. It's fine. Brock Nelson looks like he could strangle somebody. Brock Nelson has strangled somebody.

And, uh... You tell. No, no, he probably made me promise. That's actually, I'll tell you off. Okay. Yeah, that's off air. Yeah, that's off air. Yeah, he just, he's got a, he's got a very serious look to him.

Um, he does. he feels like he has time traveled here from another era. I do believe passionately that there might, maybe not for Colorado yet. Let's see what happens tonight in game two. But I think very passionately that this might be something. Listen, I've been talking about stolen valor. Yeah.

And is it a joke? Yes. But is it possibly real? Also, yes. Dude, this is great. This is great. You might need to put. No.

I'm not going to say what I was about to say. But you might need to put one of these Whalers jerseys on something. Okay. A ghost. Yeah. Make a ghost. Make a ghost. The comments are amazing right now, by the way.

We get the Carolina Tropical Storm or Tropical Depressions, the Carolina thunderstorms, the Carolina almost tornado. This is amazing. That's so good. It's like, oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. They changed their name. I like that. Actually, dude, if they get swept, they have to change their, they have to change their

team name officially. Like for one season, at least, to one of these. And we'll let them pick. We'll let them pick. We'll submit every single one of these comments to the Carolina brass and they have to pick, but they are not allowed to be the hurricanes if they get swept. Yeah, it might be true. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's, this is a tough sled. Well, Safe Cracker just says how fast the narrative goes from Habs don't stand a chance to Keynes are on the edge of a cliff now. And that's, what I mean about game one reactions, but also no one ever said the habs don't stand a chance. Yeah, I, I think we said Keynes in. First of all, I respect that fire, but no one ever said Cains, cabs don't stand it. Or no one in this program. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, fair. And if you,

if you, whoever that is in the chat, if you're talking about some of the other people who were saying that, you're right. Like, ESPN did their thing. So many people had, but some people had a cane sweep. Yeah. People had Cains in five. And we were like that is just not going to happen. We did find a picture of Brock Nelson from 100, 100, 100 years. years ago. Yes. And there it is. Dude, see?

That's what I'm saying. He fought in World War I, dude. And then now here he is by fighting against the fucking Vegas Golden Night. Yeah, exactly. Incredible. It's incredible, dude. Listen, we, this,

Habs team is great. And I think we all reserved the right to say, which we did, if they come out. I mean, I said at last, we were talking about the Orozak. I was like, if they win game one, their aura is going to be. be fucking coming out of their pores. And it currently is. Dude, Dan, they, obviously, when you get this deep, there's four teams left. You know, you believe you can win.

You know you can win. Marty has that locker. I'm believing that they can beat anybody, certainly the can't. But, dude, I'm telling you that performance by the HABs, they are, I know they stole home ice. It doesn't matter as much knock. But they stole home ice, but they're, they're even more in the driver seat than a typical game one win.

A game one win is always driver seat. They're involved in the driver's seat to me because what they did in that game was beat the canes in the canes are fast. Remember, maybe I shouldn't say it on the pod. But remember we've talked to guys who have played the canes in the playoffs that have been like they're fast, bro. They're so fast. And watching against Philly, it felt like, man, the canes are so fast. Montreal is fast. They're just as fast as you, if not faster. They can beat you at your game, which no one does. Right. Like everybody's like, man, the canes are smothering. When they lose, they get bull. bullied usually by the Panthers. Like, oh my God, the fucking Panthers are just so heavy. They're kicking a shit out of us. The HABs aren't that team. The HABs are like, dude, we will play exactly your game, or we will play closer to your style, but we can do it better than you. Yeah. And not, I'm not saying, for the rest of the series, I'm just saying that we have that capability. And we made you play on our terms in game one in your building when you had all

these demons and all this bullshit. So this, that's why I give the HAB so much credit, because they are not scared of Carolina's style at all. They are not scared of putting their stamp on these games. If they had won this game, if they had one game won two one in overtime, and it was just a slug fest and the canes out shot them by 15, but Montreal hung on and won. It's still a game one win.

It's amazing, but you're like, Jesus Christ, like the canes are good. That kind of took a lot. Habs just went out there and said, you play how we want you to play, little brother. and rub, let me rub your belly. And that is, that is scary because now the canes see firsthand what the habs are capable of, where I feel like they were kind of seeing it from afar.

And I'm sure their narrative was like, what you said earlier, Ev, they go, yeah, this habs seems scary, but they fucking should have lost to Tampa. And then they, they were a bounce away from losing to Buffalo. We're okay. And then they come out in this game and they go, actually, we might not be okay. It's just like this game too is so impossibly important for Carolina for a million reasons because it just, this is, this is a legacy game, right? Yep. This is, you go down too, oh. This is your Joelle M. Bede game.

Yeah. Bad compliment. You are, you are either going to lose the series after game two, or you are going to work to redefine your entire franchise. And there, there's just so much on the line here. It's delicious. It's absolutely delicious. I cannot wait. Me neither. It's going to be phenomenal weekend.

Yeah. Oh my God. I can't believe a whole weekend of games. It's incredible. Okay. Do we need more of a HAB's stroke off session? I feel like we've stroked them off a little bit. Zach, do you feel that we have adequately stroked off the Haps? I feel great. Yeah. This is, this has been fantastic. I've been glad to be a part. And I just need to know that war is just going every single time. You are, you nailed that. Yeah. I mean, like this. They are fueled by ORA right now.

And I think my closing thoughts on that team specifically is how monstrously big it was that their top line. Oh my God, dude. It was amazing. It was buzzing. And they looked great too. They looked great. They just won a game and New Hook didn't score. Dude, someone said this.

Yeah, wow. Someone said this a while ago too. It's ready for O.T. Correct. Yeah. I probably won't be able to find this. someone said the scary thing about Carolina. Actually, a couple things here.

Someone said a scary thing about Carolina is if the Taylor Hall, Blake, Stankline comes down to Earth at all. Yeah. You're dead. And that is true if they don't get picked up by somebody else. And I had said last time we were previewing this series,

it is almost a race to whose first line wakes up. To me, it was a race between whose first line wakes up and if a goalie dips. And you had a two-player swing against Carolina where your goalie dipped, the Habe's goalie didn't, and the Habs first line woke up and your first line didn't.

I know JARC scored, but that's how it felt. Oh, for sure. So if you don't figure that out, you are fucked. You are fucked. And someone said this too. Well, I'll find it. But the, I know,

Marty said this doesn't matter, and he played, he knows. It doesn't matter. God, he's the man. But that is now, the Habs now go, we are now four and O against this team. And they have not beaten us once. True. And I know that it's regular season, but I'm just saying, in the Habs locker room, you're going like this. They can't beat us.

Dude, shit doesn't matter until it matters. Yep. And all of these things going into the, you've never won a game one, you've got ghosts all over the fucking state. You haven't beat this team all regular season. people go like this, that shit doesn't matter until it matters. And you lose that game and now you're kind of like,

I think it matters. Yep. It's interesting. Okay. Guys, let's get into a free-for-all Friday. It's Friday. We want to goof around a little bit. Evan, what is your free-for-all Friday topic? Well, we have

are we up for, yeah, we have the thing. We've got apparently some jerseys have leaked. Oh, yeah. These are the city remix jerseys. Oh, shit, I haven't even seen this. Do we, before we do this, and I, well, I can't wait to do this, do we feel like this is legit, or was this like a random account?

I think this is legit. I've seen it around. Okay. I don't know, but we can talk about it either way. Okay. Let me try to verify. I mean, listen, our beer drinking things weren't real. That was just Dylan.

Right. And that was a blast. That's true. I mean, rumored hometown remix jersey. This is from Ion Isles. Jesus Christ. It's Friday.

Eye on Isles. They're bringing back the fishermen. But we have Panthers and we've got Islanders. Can we take a peek at them? Yeah, let's take a peek at them. Are there what jerseys? These are the rumored. City remix.

City remixed. Oh, my fucking God. Do we love the pink? I love it. I love it. Love that. I love the logo because that's the logo they used on. I think that that is the, uh, or no, not wasn't stadium series. It was the reverse retro. I love that logo and it looks like a fucking glass of pink lemonade. It sure does.

The, the chicklets boys will go crazy for these. It's Miami, Miami, Miami vibes. Miami Vice. Yeah. I love it. The sunset on the fucking circle is incredible. I think, and you know what's cool is I feel like oftentimes. we see that pink with a light blue, and the fact that they decided to swerve and go dark blue and yellow. What color pants, then? Dark blue.

Dark blue pants. Dark blue pants, blue gloves with yellow and pink lettering. Yellow pants, yellow gloves. Yellow socks? Yeah, probably blue. I think it's going to be like the stripe sequencing at the bottom is probably going to be the socks.

Is it normal for jerseys to have that weird dip at the bottom? Oh, yeah, yeah. It's the scallop cut. You need it. Oh, that must be new because none of the jerseys I have. The sighted goes, the pink panthers. It is the pink panthers. So good.

God, the chat is buzzing. I would love a pink bucket, but I'm not going to get it. You don't think it'll be white. I think it's going to be, no, I think it's going to be dark blue. Yeah. Those are incredible. I like it. I mean, I love those.

I think it takes a lot of balls to wear pink. Yeah. I mean, is that just a, what am I looking at? That looks just like a real jersey. Well, maybe it is. Isn't this a picture of the league jersey? This is. Yeah.

This isn't fake. This is real. These are. leaked city remix Guys I don't know what's AI and what's not True that we're living in a we're living in strange times Alright let's transition to the Islanders This is the city remix Islanders

We're bringing back that fucking fisherman Okay I like this less But I do love the fisherman Or the lighthouse guy fisherman Whatever it is I love the fisherman aisle so much I love the font Chris The numbers look sick

The hooks yeah They're hooks Oh those are so dope They're hooks And I love the wavy bottom That's my favorite part by a mile The wavy bottom is so clean. Yeah.

The hook numbers, boys, that is actually cool. I always love a lace neck, too, on jerseys. Okay, I actually like this a lot. I think my only gripe is the white. Yeah, I wish it was that blue. Yeah. I wish it was that blue color and the wavy bottom was like white, orange, and dark blue or whatever. Are we assuming that it's...

You know what? Versus Islanders and they're away? I think it's been a long time since the world appreciated whites. And we used to be the home whites. We used to be the home whites. Yeah, we need to, whites, we need to start advocating. Careful, you just have to kick a camera. Yeah, yeah.

We need to advocate for whites power and just like get, we need whites, we need whites to take over the league again. It's been too long. Way too long since whites were popular. Clip this. It's been way too long. This is going to end up on a boat. No, but all kidding aside, I do, I like a crisp, clean white, jersey.

Yeah, because it's great for getting blood on too. At home, you mean? Just in general. Okay. When did they switch from homes? There are some teams in this league. Why can't I think of it right now? No, no.

Not in the NHL. There are some teams in the NHL that I'm like, I think they're white might be better. That might be better. Yeah, sorry, I thought you said wear at home. No one wears white at home. Toronto's whites are great too. Yeah. The league switched, so this is, I think, common knowledge, but it was like the reason

darks were on the road a million years ago. Yeah. is because it was harder to do laundry on the road. Teams would go on road trips and they would just wear dirty jerseys. I'm talking like way long. Way back when. Back when they were white at home because you can clean them and then you would take your darks on the road because they're dirty

and you just play and it doesn't matter. That's interesting. Yep. So then that changed in most sports. I think it's, NHL for sure. NFL, I think also. And then basketball, I think maybe not.

Because fans were going, dude, uh, I want, our colors are what I care about, right? Like if you're the Bruins, it's black and gold.

If you're the habs, it's that sweater. Right. I want to see my colors at home. I don't want to just be in the white. Right. Like send the white on the road. This is a twat boy,

Danny. I'm always like, this is what European football does. And it makes sense. Like those are your colors. Yes. So I like it where I'm like, yeah,

give me the colors at home. I want to see that. That's awesome. Yeah. Um, but it is kind of sad because I agree. Like baseball. for example does still does the white at home and I think like the Red Sox and the Dodgers like crisp white jersey at home I'm like oh yeah I think the pants add to it in baseball yeah the full white setup yeah it looks great looks clean I get it but I am for the color I am for the colors at home and I hope they don't change it hey those jerseys rocked I like them both yeah we need more Zach what's your free for all Friday topic

let's see I'm trying to think what my free for all topic would be it was it was post lot making are you making up a topic as we go? No, no, no, no, no. My free-for-all topic that I would like to talk about on this Friday is surfing. Really, you bought my first surfboard two weeks ago. I went out to the beach. I've been surfing before prior, and I am like now getting up on the wave, so it's pretty sick. But I finally feel like a California, like I feel like, you know what I mean? Like, I was born here, but I've been away from it. This is a very wholesome free-for-all Friday topic. Yeah, I just felt like a real California. You've got to be careful what beaches you go to because some real territorial.

Yes. I've heard that. You received point break? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Zach's going to be Robin Banks in a month, dude. And Richard Nixon. Yeah, yeah.

What are, what beach are you ripping at right now? Rat beach down like right there, Pallas Verdez, down at the base of torrents and all that stuff. Yeah, I love ride beach. No needles on that beach for sure. Yeah, you have to walk to like a firebed. So it's like on a cliff, there's flowers all the way down that you walk through and then all the sandy stuff. Who do you think was in charge of naming that beach? Buddy, there were rats on it.

And there is when you learn that that beach is called rat beach, there are maybe two, two reasons why it is called rat beach. One is there are rats all over it. two, this is a Greenland, Iceland situation, and it's such a great beach that they were like, we can't have people come in here, we gotta name it something that we'll keep tourists away. Poison water cove. Yes. I think it was

very intentionally rat beach because there's a really nice resort right next to it, but then you have to walk down the hill. Yeah. And it is honestly the most secluded. Like I can see at the base of the point all the way down through torrents. I can see all the way through like all the way. So it's an amazing beach. It's amazing. Yeah, it's gorgeous.

title was diarrhea Yeah Yeah Yeah They thought that was too hard Yes So they was It landed on a rat beach

We've got a classic Iceland situation here Yeah yeah okay I like that Let's go surfing Zach Why don't we all go down What are you riding Are you riding a longboard?

Yeah I'm just I did I took it novice Like a little eight foot Wave storm Dude It's like this is a way to start Get into it So I love

I prefer longboarding Same Done both all my life Longboarding At this point in my life Dude I'm just trying to chill Just trying to fucking cruise.

Yeah, it's unbelievable. All right, CP. Mine was, um, did you see that New York, did you see that Queens is flooding?

Queens is flooded. Do you guys see this yesterday? Oh, is this natural disaster? Yeah, dude, Queens, New York City has flooded. And people, Dan,

people are getting off buses. Dude, people are getting off buses and then getting just swept away in the floor. No. Yeah. You're joking. How,

how, how have I not heard about this? Chat, is this real? Is anybody in the chat currently in a flood? Yeah. Is anybody in... You're telling me that Queens is flooded.

Yeah, we flooded, dude. People getting swept away. Dan, it's underwater. That is brutal. Look at that. Not a city... I mean, listen, when the Knicks start winning. That's what I'm saying.

Zach, I'm going to send you a tweet. You got to put this up. All right. You got to put this tweet up, dude. You were going to love this shit. And then it made me think, Dan, that flooding is... underappreciated for how terrible it is. Oh, God.

I thought you were about to say that you were like pro flooding. Flood is, flooding is crazy. Flooding is one of the worst things. Dude, so then I was thinking to myself, I was like, I want a power rank. And I know a hurricane would probably get you a flood too, but I was like, I more think wins, you know? Yeah.

I don't get you the water, but I was like, blood it's insane. And then it just sent me on a spiral of making me laugh about tornadoes. I can't believe tornadoes are real. Isn't that unbelievable? And there are places in this country where tornadoes are not only real, they're prevalent. And people have to be like this, just bought a new house. Hope it doesn't get tornadoed. Yeah. Yeah. Did you see the Twister, the Twister remake? Yeah. Really, that was, that was a movie. It was. It was certainly a film. Was it Glenn Powell? Oh, yeah. Of course it was. And D.E.J.

Dude. Love Daisy. It's sometimes movies are just, well. movies be movie in sometimes. Movies are just spectacle in that point. And that's fine. But yeah, dude, flooding sucks like, fucking... It just ruins everything.

I'll say this. I had an absolute blast. I had a blast with that movie. I don't think those people... Yeah. But the original twister, that movie fucking rocks. Oh, Bill Paxton is one of my all-time favorite.

He's great, dude. He's great. Dude, Phil Sy Hoffman in that movie, too. That's true. Yeah. Wait, okay, hold on. From the trailer. It's coming!

Yeah. Did you put the video up already, Jack? Or no? Okay, I think this person's just already seen it because they were like, the video of the girl getting sucked away is fucking hilarious. And then...

Give him a moment. Do you need help? And then it is... It's funny that like that video hits the internet and we're all like, so funny. Dude, is she alive? Is she alive before we start laughing about it? Can we confirm that she's a living person?

Dude, so I... Luna, where are you? Luna says tornadoes are actually so scary. And Jessica says, I'm in Kentucky and the alarms go off all the time. And I'm like, dude, I can't believe. believe that tornadoes are a literal thing. Like, you're telling me at any point, the wind can just start swirling in a vortex and then suck up anything that's passed and then it's just gone.

That is fucking nuts. Yeah, it's a, it's an, it's an insane, fucking weather thing. Dude, the flood, at least I'm like, oh yeah, I get it. Like, it range too much. Or like the ocean went over the wall. A tornado? I'm like, what are you talking about? What do we think is crazier, a tornado or an earthquake? Tornado? Tornado makes an earthquake? I can at least conceptualize There are plates on the earth, and they're like, da-da-da-da. I'm sorry, I had an itch. A tornado, I'm like, squeeze me baking powder. Yeah.

They don't really make sense. I mean. Well, we're not, none of us are like, you know, meteorologists. I'm not a meteorologist. But like, I'm sure there's definitely science. There's, oh, they certainly make. They certainly make sense. And, like, with earthquakes with like the tectonic plates shifting and all that, sure.

It all, there, I get it. Yeah. But at the same time, I'm like, well, that is. brutal. You know what, you know what, though, Dan, I will admit on earthquakes, I get when the ones that we have experienced here where I'm like, whoa, what I don't get is when it's like, the earth rips in half. And I'm like, oh, here we go. Watch this, Dan. Watch this, dude. Oh, oh, my gosh. Oh, that's a, that's a raging river. We can't be stopping here. Watch this, Dan. Oh, no, it's this lady. Oh, oh, where she goes. It's horrible.

New York City's underwater. I'm, I'm going to laugh because I imagine she's okay. Yeah, she's fine. I mean, that's not enough to drown her, but. New York City's underwater. That was a pretty brutal jump off the bus by her, though. Look at the second jump out of this, the second guy, though. Look, what?

So she goes down. She goes, the blue shirt got out. And then we go, and then see ya, dude. Yeah. And then watch the guy jump. Turn around. Yeah, dude. Little Frogger, actually.

I really got to leap with that. That is unbelievable. Dude, how are we not taught? The bus driver can't stop there. No. I don't know what to tell you, dude, or he's going to pull over more. He's like, this is the stop. I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know what to tell you. I was active with a bus driver before. They don't give a fuck. No. That bus driver loved every bit of that. He's like, you fuckers. They're so miserable. Yeah, that's crazy. I would be too.

That's a hard job. Okay, my free-for-all Friday topic is Memorial Day. All right, here we go. Let me ask you, all right, Evan, quick. Rapid Fire. What's your favorite holiday? Oh, Christmas. Zach.

Favorite holiday? Halloween. Christmas. Okay. If you say Memorial Day, you're a fucking liar. Both of those holidays, I feel like there's a massive emphasis on the holiday as we celebrate. Are we not celebrating Memorial Day adequately or appropriately? Dude, we're working on Memorial Day.

Yeah, we're literally. Clearly we're not. I just think Memorial Day, Labor Day, these weekends in the U.S. where we get a Monday off, we just use them as excuses to take Friday off work as well and go for like a trip somewhere or just get fucked up. And people are always like this. You come into my Memorial Day barbecue. Yeah. We're going to drink a ton of beer. We're going to eat dogs.

And I think that's great. But there's a part of me that's like we are bastardizing these holidays. Dan, well, hold on. What is Memorial Day technically? Memorial Day is a day where we are supposed to acknowledge and mourn the fallen soldiers in our military. That's what I... That's what I thought. I was going to say, I can't think of something they would want more.

I'm dead ass. I cannot think of something that the people that have fought and died for this country would want more than for us to enjoy a day off of work eating dogs. They fought for our freedom and they want us to exercise our freedom by eating dogs and drinking beers. We celebrate it perfectly. I'm 100% being. being serious. My uncle fought on a riverboat in Vietnam and as his buddy was lying, dying, face down in the mud. Yeah. He was, his last breath, he said, I want your nephew to get hammered on Memorial Day. See? That's what he said, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Do we need to be, though, like, I feel like it's

Fourth of July. Everyone goes out and they buy their American flag bathing suits and T-shirts. Like, I think we should be doing that or should we be wearing camo all day. Oh. Ooh, no, that's stolen valor. Should we walking around like this. Oh, that's stolen valor. But I do think... Salute our troops. I do think we should have more...

I want to be very clear. I'm not joking right now. I know. I think you have more flags. Maybe there are. I think on Memorial Day, I usually do drive by several houses and there's the mini flags everywhere and I'm like, hell yeah. Boom.

And I want to make sure I do that. I'm going to get some flags and I want them hanging off my fucking balcony because I'm like, dude, Memorial Day. Let's get a city remix flag. Yeah. Pink, blue. We can still eat dogs. Yeah.

But I know you don't have an affinity for the place, but last night I was in San Petero and it was Fleet Week. And so they have all the like destroyers and stuff down in the everywhere. There was a ton of Navy men and Marines like all around. And they were all getting fucked up in their dress whites. Like they had little all shit on. Everybody had drinks out the nines. but they were like all getting hammered and I was like I did that thought crossed my mind Dan

it dead ass did I was like this is how they should be exercising it and I was drinking a carina and I said thank you for your service this is like and I was there with my girlfriend's dad who served in the Navy and it felt like this is the right way to spend this like this is correct I like that you know what dude I like to hear so Dan Megan in the chat just said I think people do celebrate Memorial Day I think it isn't publicized though as much drinking or partying. I know my family goes to the cemetery and visits, gets flowers, and reads. Holy shit, but you know, but she just gave me an idea. I think it's actually you're correct in that, like Christmas, for example, is, maybe Christmas is a bad example, but Christmas has a thing

you do as a family, kind of, where you're kind of like together before it gets rowdy. Yeah. I think Memorial Day, the narrative should be more of a, it's you do something and then rowdy, then the dogs and beers. Like, it should be like, yeah, we got to earn it. it. Yeah, we should, every memorial day should have some family, whatever you choose. Lay a wreath. There should be something. Lay a wreath. Salute the flag. Sing the national anthem. Do something. Then, then exercise our freedom to drink. Start sucking down dogs and beers. And then I think it's perfect. What if we get donuts shaped like wreaths? And we eat them. Yeah. I'm into that. You don't like that. I love the idea. The dente into my brain was like white

cross donuts and I was like that's like you know like the like the grave site what would you do what would you do what would you do if you if I invited you to a Memorial Day cookout and I opened up a box of white shaped cross cookies would you be fired

up or would you be like this is in poor taste accumulated with the the hood you just wore I'd be a little worried you were going to light it on fire he puts red and orange sprinkles on them I went oh dude dude dude I that is not an original idea I went to an Easter brunch once, and there were cross cookies.

And I was like, no. You're supposed to eat the body of Christ. I was like, is this crazy or is this awesome? I will say this, the cookies were delicious. They were incredible. I ate several. That is fucking awesome. All right. Should we do a costume change and get into the game tonight?

Yep. And then, Zach, you got to get that other tweet. I sent you. You got to get ready to put that up because I don't even think Dan has seen that yet. All right, folks, we're going here on the game tonight, game two. In Colorado, game two, Avs, Vegas Golden Knights. C.P. Talk to him. Dan, the president's trophy demons are here. I don't know what a noise a demon makes. Did they screech?

The ghost ooze. I think they go like, Blah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm going to try that. President's Trophy Demons have arrived and they are here to stay and I'll tell you fucking why.

Dude, put that, put that, tweet up so it's up when Dan walks back in so he can fucking see the news and I fucking knew it, dude. I fucking knew it. I don't know how. It was just something in the air. Something was happening.

Something didn't feel right. And now something is really not right. Something is actually like, uh, not good because you're, you're scared now. And, uh, I know, I'm fine. And the, the, the, the, they're not that bad. I can't believe we're doing, we're, now we're doing another demonic possession bit. Listen, dude, this is a real issue. There's a lot of shit going on. I shouldn't, I, should I put my cloak back on? Yep. Hey, you can do whatever makes you happy. And I'm telling you, dude, if you think, yeah?

No, just keep going. I have an idea for this. Okay. If you think the Keynes, Keynes fans are, actually, I don't know, Keynes fans, I don't know if they're in shambles or not yet. I feel like they're probably like. They're in shambles. Okay.

I think they're, I think that they are, they're not giving up, but I think that they're like, this is my nightmare. Because of the ghosts. Yes. And I also think, at least. least, remember how we just said, remember way back when we just said that the, if the Keynes had had had a little fight, if they had had a little fight, they would have felt a little bit better. The Aves fans leaving Game One are going, we did have a little fight, right? So I think it helps

them a tiny bit to cope the, uh, the, the cup of, of steaming hot copium that they're having, uh, to get through to game two where they go, it's fine, right? We're home. Uh, a put it this way, Dan. We just said game two is game seven in the Carolina Hap series. Yeah. Right. I don't know that the Aves fans totally feel that way. I don't think they're going game two is game seven because they think we're the Aves and we can still win and it's fine. Would you agree? I think it's fine. I think the Aves could go down. I think this Aves team is so good. They could go down 02 and be not fine. Yeah. But there's nothing that says to me that they couldn't go into Vegas and just win to. Okay, but do you know this?

Yes Kale dead Kale is literally In the fucking morgue dude I don't know how many times We need to tell people that he is toe tagged Dude he is literally in a body bag Zipped up

You know what scares me is And I suppose it's his shoulder Right I think so The shoulder is what we keep hearing They keep showing him skating And he looks incredible Yep

The guy's flying all around It shows you just what a mutant he is this injury must be unbelievable. His shoulder must be completely out of its socket held together by scotch tape and toothpicks right now. Yes, because if he takes one hit, it'll be fucked. So I think that's the problem, where they go, dude, we can't get your shoulder into a place

where you're able to take any contact. I don't think we have ever really acknowledged at this. He has such good gearware. Cale's whole, Cale's sty is out of control. I think he looks awesome. Uh, yes. Does he have particularly? style, though?

He's just clean, man. Just a clean vibe. Also, the number eight on that A jersey looks good. I also, I think the A looks cooler on the A jersey than a C does. It does. Yeah.

It actually does. Yeah. And Dan, I've always been an A guy. No confirmation on this, but, but, as in what's going to happen, but Mark Stone skated this morning. Yes, I did see that. So, if Kail is out and Mark Stone is back in

and Vegas wins game two. That's illegal. You're right. You're right. That's actually not allowed. That's actually not allowed. Hey, number three on the sheet, number three on the sheet. You're both out.

Okay, I like this for Megan, Dan. I actually think teams aren't good as, or I think teams aren't as good as they are if they rely on a player to be present. And I kind of hear that. I think anyone loses a superstar. You become a different team. But I agree the, I don't like the comments coming out of Colorado after game one.

I don't, well, you lose kale, you know. He makes the whole shift. go. I don't love the excuses. Megan, good point. I think you've got, like, if you want to be a great team, you have to be able to overcome something like that. But I think this is different because we're talking about one of the three best players in the NHO. And I do just think that has to be a factor. I think, though, an argument, it did playoffs are different, but the oilers, you know, dry saddle goes out and the oilers go on their best run of the year, literally, their best run of the year. And they go, I do think that's because you also have Connor.

Yes, but they also have Nate. I'm like, step up, dude. That's true. That's fair. I'm like, come out. That's fair. That's a very good. Okay. Well done, sir. That was a good rebuttal.

So yeah, I'm like, man, dude, the, all of a sudden, the stresses that I feel that the canes are feeling right now, all of a sudden the abs are feeling where it feels like kale's actually hurt and they could lose game two. Now, the abs could easily win game two. but if they go down to O to Vegas, dropping both at home and Kales clearly dinged, all of a sudden you're going, I can't believe this is happening to us again. Because Dan, maybe that's the Avs ghost.

The Kaine's ghost is just the Easter conference finals. The Avs ghost is always going, someone gets hurt. Someone gets hurt and it's not fair. Oh, man. They are, we're going to go to head lasso again here. Like, there is a curse somewhere.

Yep. Since they won that cup, where they're just like, every year, one of the most important players is injured and you're like, are you fucking kidding? Yeah. Like, how is this happening? I think that this is a very important game for a lot of Aves fans. We saw the internet very divided before game two when we, like I said, shout out fucking Colin. Yeah. When we were just going, Kail is missing from this game. That's a huge factor. A lot of Aves fans were like, yeah, fuck me. And then a lot of Aves fans were like, oh, everyone wants to act like kale being out's a big deal.

it is a big deal I love all you have it out for this poor Colin guy Oh Colin K. Like the gruber like the guy that like cut him off Yeah KFPR 3992 KFPR 3992 Yeah that's what you're doing with you. Dude I was just I was not in the mood

For fucking any fucking twatism that day And twat Colin decided to get under my skin But I you know what the funny thing is now? I love Colin Yeah he's a fucking dedicated fan I love that. Dan's nemesis, Colin.

What's interesting about that is, if they win this game, it's such a good fucking jolt. Oh my God. It's a jolt of like, I fucking told you, it doesn't matter. It obviously does matter,

but it's like we can still win without them. And if you lose this game, it's so annoying the narrative. The narrative is annoying. So I stand by, Colorado can lose this game, and they're still fine. I think this team is so deep.

so good. They can absolutely go into Vegas and win two games. You obviously do not want to lose this game, though. And a big thing is, you got to, you got to put a little bit of doubt into Carter Hart because he's been playing so well. Dude, you got to Freddie him. He's got to get Freddy. He's got fingered. Freddy got fingered last night. And we need to, someone, someone needs to Cardi, would you like some sauce? Yes. I thought we could go to Pakistan and sew some soccer balls together. How are you guys remembering the quotes from this fucking movie? I, you would be a guest to learn how many times I've watched Freddy Got Fingered. You know that movie's on the Criterion collection?

Is that stuff? Like, you can go into the Criterion closet and be like, I'm going to pull out Freddie Got Fingered directed by Tom Green. Dude. It, it's, it's, it's, if you've not watched it recently, it's a brilliant comedy. It's, it's an absolute riot. And what's great about Freddie Got Fingered is, it, who plays Freddy in that movie? Is it, it's the guy who plays Finch from American Pie, right?

Yeah, Finch. Oh, yeah. Finch? Is it Finch? Is it Finch? Or is it Fitch? I don't know. Well, let's look it up.

There's IMDB for this. I just know there's that one part where Charlton William Scott goes, Finch fist yourself. And it's funny. And then he eventually gets fingered. Well, that's a different movie. I know, but I'm just saying that saved.

But he didn't get finger. Or Tom Green made it up. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah. All of a sudden Rip Torn is now being, like, investigated by the cops because they're like, did you molest your child? Finch. There's no T in it.

It is Finch, okay. Eddie K. Thomas is the act. There you go. That's incredible. I've seen Freddy got fingered a lot of times. That was peak Tom Green where the world was letting him do anything. Dude, he, remember he, God, I am dating myself here, but MTV used to have the Carson Daily show. Yeah, there was a Tom Green show.

Well, no, he had like the top 10 music videos. Oh, yeah. Carson Daily live or something. TLC, right? Do you know who the fuck Carson Daily is at? Just TLC. I have been lost. No, TRL.

TRL. Total request live. Yeah. So they would do the fucking hear the top 10 videos. And it was like, I would tune in and be sad if the song I like didn't get one. Like a blink 182, what's my age again? Lost. I'd be like, fuck.

And Tom Green wrote the bum bum song. And it got on, it like made seven one week. And then the next week it won. And then it won again. And then Tom Green came on TRL and like accepted another win and, and officially retired it because he said he felt bad. Yeah. I actually feel bad that like really.

Real artists are losing to the bump. I mean, it's referenced in an M&M song. Yeah. Like he's like, this Tom Green can go on TV and kiss a dead moose. Like, it's unbelievable. Like, he was out of control. That is unbelievable. What do you think Tom Green's doing right now?

Oh, he has like a podcast, I believe. Did you know that his actually, his podcast that he started years and years ago inspired Joe Rogan to start a podcast? Really? Like Joe Rogan's looking around. a clip of him on Tom's podcast like 15 years ago going like so what is this thing you got and he's like it's podcast and Joe Rogan's like think I'll start one of these I might do that um but tom green now he did like a farm show he's got a farm up in Canada and he did a whole show where he like

raises fucking chickens and has like forces and shit it's he's getting real potential dude Vixen says The bum bum song is lyrically generation Who said that? Vick said I have to go look up the lyrics of this. Zach, how old are you? I am 23 years of age. We're going to show you the bum bum bum song

after we wrap up this episode. He's 23, Jessica. Also, I'm going to say this is our official invitation extension to Tom Green to Tom come on the show. He's Canadian, I'm sure he loves. Yeah, I bet he loves hockey.

Where's he from? I think he's from Toronto. think he's, I think he's a Leafs guy. He's a Leaves guy, surely, and we'd love to talk to you about some hockey. Tom Green, come on the show. We'd love to talk some hockey. That would be an all-time guest, dude. I mean, I'm going to message him right now, or right after this and be like, dude,

dude, please come on the show. I bet he's in L.A. Right? Sometimes, yeah, but sometimes he's up in his farm in Canada. Hey, well, I got fucking Zoom, dude. I'll come up. I'll come up to the farm. God, that's amazing.

We could sew some soccer balls. It'd be unbelievable. This game is not that important, in my opinion, as far as momentum. But I also think you got a finger Carter heart to quote you. Yes, it needs to be fingered. You need to finger Carter Hart. I also think you would love to slow down Jack and Mitch. Mitch, dude, the doc.

If you don't slow down the dock, then doctors, dude, doctors. get a little power crazy. Like Mitch needs to, if Mitch doesn't get a malpractice suit soon, then the Vegas Golden Knights are going to win. Because otherwise, he's going to be doing whatever he wants, demanding whatever salary he wants, writing absolute chicken scratch on the prescription pad. Nobody can fucking read it. But it doesn't matter because it's the doc's world. We live in a doctor's world. That's what's happening right now.

And unless, unless Marner gets sued for malpractice, the fucking Vegas Golden Knights are going to have something to say in this series. Correct. We just got an amazing show. shirt made by our unbelievable apparel team. Would you like to see it? Yeah. That's great. That's great.

Text it over here. That text it to you guys. Fucking great, dude. Dan, do you think that Wedgwood has this in him? Absolutely. Okay. Absolutely. And do you think that Nate, I mean, Nate played so well.

But I just feel like Nate needs to, let me check the points. Let me check the point stats here. Because what concerns me a tiny bit about Nate, yeah, 14. But I guess they haven't played any fucking games. That's the thing I got to keep remembering, to be fair to him. Like 14 points in nine games is nasty work. It's 10-10 games. It's nasty work.

But I was going to say, dude, what concerns me a little bit is usually when teams, I would almost say, like, without question, for the team that's about to win a cup, it's pretty clear who the Kahn-Smith guy is. Connor threw a wrinkle in that because it was like, they lost, but it was like, oh yeah, he won anyway. Yeah. But it could have been Bob that year, right, or whoever, I don't know.

My point is, usually you have a guy who's kind of firing. And if the abs are going to win the cup, I would expect to go, Nate is dominating, or K.O. is dominating, or Wedgwood is out of control. Yeah. And none of that is totally happening. Nate is obviously playing great. He's seventh in points and he's played less games than everybody ahead of him. But I'm like, I almost want Nate to hit another gear. I don't know if there are abs fans still in the chat, but I'd want your take on this. I almost want Nate to hit another gear if you're really going to do it this year. Like if he's going to go, give me this cup. let me steal this cup, especially with a hurt kale, especially with a hurt kale.

Yeah. I'm kind of like, dude, I need you to have 20 points. And everyone going, wow, Nate is the front runner for Kahn Smythe. He isn't even in the top voting percentage of Kahn Smythe right now. Yeah, he's, we're not, we're not seeing fully unleashed dog yet. And I kind of feel like you need that. Yeah. Not to put too much pressure on him, because he is playing great.

I mean, you kind of, I'm always a little, they've played so few games, dude. I know, I know. And he's well over a point per game, so I'm not mad at him at all. Seven and seven, he's perfect. I mean, he came in and fucking shelved that goal from the hash marks against Walshead

to kind of put them to bed. And point per game, he's only behind Marner, to be fair. Yeah, so I'm like, he has yet to be, been given the opportunity to take over. Now he hasn't. Yep. So yeah, I guess, Avs fans chime in,

I guess you're probably completely happy. Well, no, here we go. Someone says he's not fully dogging, but tonight I'm sure he will. I like that. Yeah, and Mr. Jupiter, if Kail is out, Nate has to become a rabid dog, which is true. We should give Nate rabies. Are we sure he doesn't already have it? He might already have him.

I also was thinking... I think Nate needs to pop the goggles back on and go for a swim. I was thinking the Vegas pools are incredible. Nate at the Vegas pool party with the goggles on? I would not... I mean, if we want him to get rabies, go underwater in one of those pools. Yeah. That's actually perfect.

Aves lose tonight. Go down 02. they go on the road Nate gets the goggles on goes in a Vegas pool gets to swim gets to stim by swimming because he calms down

his autism by swimming and then also he becomes he becomes rabid yeah he'll get tetanus rabies hepsy

couple other things in those pools he needs to go to rat beach yeah he goes to rat beach feats on the rats now he has a taste for rat blood

yes now we're talking that's interesting can I set you up please yeah yeah Oh, God.

So we're bringing this bad boy back. Oh, yeah. Okay. So this is Marty St. Louis. And by the way, if anybody online, if anybody has this online, we were told in one of the chats that he did this game 7 again. I haven't seen the clip yet, but I'm told him. Marty is fully Wolf of Wall Street. Marty of Wall Street.

So the shirt had to happen, Habs fan. So if there's any Habs fans still in the chat, we had to make this bad boy for you. Bang. We're not leaving. God, dude. He looks incredible. He looks incredible, dude. I love it.

I said before, I love that Barty loves that movie. Me too. That's why I keep saying it's why we know he's one of us. So good. It's unbelievable. Okay, and

yeah, this is interesting. Again, Vickson says, I need an Iko master class soon. Oh, I think this is what Jacko does, though. Only one goal through three series, though. I know, but it's just like he just does everything.

He controls everything. He has so many assists. It's like, And when Marner is doing what you're doing, you don't need to score. Yeah. So. But I do think he will eventually need to score. If they go down.

Yes. Yep. Because remember you said that one game, you're like, I need to shoot the puck. This is ridiculous. And then that game, you had 11 shots. And I was like, thank you. Like, just do that. Good things happened.

We said that in the duck series. It's like, put the puck on net. Yeah. It's crazy. It was that power play. I was like, dude, just fucking spray puck's at the net. All right. Listen, we got a big game tonight, game two.

Vegas, Colorado, it's going to be a blast. Have an amazing Memorial Day weekend. Make sure to honor Memorial Day before you start sucking down dogs and beers. We're all doing that together.
