Ice is ready, and we're back with another episode of the Empty Netters podcast brought to you by BetMGM, and the abs are so cursed. They are so cursed. Can I tell you an anecdote? Always. Is it funny? Yeah, it was actually all time. The wedding I was at in Ecuador, everything was in Espaniel. The whole ceremony, all the bride speeches, no one could hear a fucking, no one understood a fucking word.

Do you know how to say wedding in Espanion? No. Don't you do Espaniel lessons every day? Except for eight years. Why don't you stop doing that? They're clearly not doing shit. We're not on wedding section. Buddy, no.

Like if you genuinely are like, I can't speak a lick and you for like eight years have been taking a fucking shittal lingo a lesson every day, you need to stop. It's like a waste of your time. There's a wedding section. I could see pretty soon a couple units away is a wedding unit. Great. What would you say you can do? If a cat crosses the road, you know how to say that? You probably don't even know how to say that.

No, I can say, no, no, not the road. But I can say, hey, cat, where's the bathroom? And hey cat, where's the library? I can say those two things. But listen to me, the dad, the father of the bride, does his father of the bride speech, all in Espaniol, hold this side of the rooms enjoying it. Then he goes, okay, now I'm going to, in kind of broken English. He's like, I'm going to try to do one for the Americans.

Uh-huh. And he goes, like resets the mic, and he goes, howdy, folks. Stop. And dude, the howdy absolutely set me, dude. Stop. This is, this is, he watched a bunch of westerns. Those are the only movies that were making it to public access in Ecuador. Howdy.

So he was like, howdy, partners. He's seen, uh, Toy Story. Yeah, yeah. That's the only that's how he learned English Was watching toys How do you say Toy Story in Spanish? And Españor? I don't know.

I'm not on movie. I'm not in the movie. We got to get to, we got to get to wedding section. Yeah, yeah. Then to movie section. Yep. Then you will be able to say

the wedding was great and then we watched Toy Story. Oh yeah. And then we're laughing. And then do, What else do you need? Then you're fluent. What else do you need?

What does Colorado need? They need... Are you panicking? You're a Colorado fan. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. You're a Colorado fan.

Ready? Ah! Yeah. You're panicking a little bit. That's how I feel. That's what I feel. They are not comfy. And I'm not one to dance on graves.

Yes, you are. Oh, yeah. When have I ever? Last time I died. Actually, I was thinking about this the other day. By that, I mean yesterday. When I said Calgary, Flames fans were idiots if they thought they were getting a first round pick for Chris Tanev.

I got flamed in the con. A couple of fucking Big J. Calgary Jerno buttholes were like, you tell me you've never seen Chris Tannave play. And then wouldn't you know it, Chris Tanna did not go for a first round pick. And I then got on the Instagram and I drank wine in a lounge and you danced. And you danced. And I danced on great. So you do that.

So it sounds like you do do that. Correct. I would say I'm not known for it, but I have been known to do it. Yep. Difference. Yesterday, when it felt as though it was certain that kale was out, a couple of tweets went out saying kale, not playing. And I was like, damn, this changes the series. And for some reason, some Aves fans were like, oh, everyone trying to turn nothing into something. And I was like, I think we're all just saying, oh, shit. It would be bad if kale was out. Yeah. And it looked like it was bad that kale was out. Dude, can I give you this? There's an article on NHL.com that says, headline is Avalanche Out of Sorts

without McCar in game one against Golden Knights. And if you click on it, there's a couple funny tidbits in here. One, it says, McCar had not practiced since the game against the Wild on May 13th, missing three on ice sessions. But as of last Tuesday, coach Jared Bednar expressed optimism that McCarr would play. When he couldn't go, things got a bit messy.

And then it puts up a graphic and it says, the avalanche record without Kail McCar since 2019. Yeah, this is a good one. 38, 20, and 8. And I was like, oh, so they're incredible still. Yeah. Like it was like, without McCar, it's very messy. Here's their record without him. They're still a wagon.

And then this, this is sure. Sharp, Dan. I don't want to sue her who wrote this, but this is sharp action right here. Sue are them. It says, it says, wait, tell me who it was. No. It says, Colorado was eight and one this postseason with McCar in the lineup. It's O and one with him missing. Oh, that is dialed in stuff. That is a, someone tweeted that. They might get swept. Someone tweeted that? If I'm looking at the data here, telling me that someone we know tweeted that. Look at the data. That's fucking good.

And now, Dan, they are going to get swept because the avalanche, it's just like the, it's just like the mammoth, um, the home, the home playoff record after one game, undefeated at Delta Center. Sometimes when you see someone go the extra mile and do a little bit of research to be able to pull out some good stuff like that, it's special. Avs, avs winless without McCarr. Facts of the matter are when Kale's not in the lineup, they can't win in these playoffs. Yep. I also want to say this, Dan.

Hold on, Jonas, it's not really funny that if I can find it. That made me laugh. But I'm going to go back and look. But two minutes for roughing says, Vegas has no petrangelo and no Markstone. So everybody fucking chill. Well, I don't. I reject the Petro one. Well, no. They've been living with it all year, but it's a massive factor. No, it's not. Oh, yeah, it is. No, it is not. They didn't have him all year. It's not like they were once something and now. they're not that thing.

Yeah, they were watching last year. Alex Petrangelo will never play hockey again. Correct. I'm not even beer league. We, dude, look at this. Look at this. Look at that. Yep.

Watch, that's Alex Petrangelo's rump. Riding on down the road, dude. Kiss it goodbye. Wave it goodbye. Petro, Petro ain't walking through that door. Correct. So anyone, any Vegas fan, being like, we don't have Petro.

That is crazy. I will accept that we don't have stone. Yes, for sure. But I also want to say every Aves fan did that for the last three years. Because we don't have Landy. Because Landy was coming back. No, no. I think your take, first of all, you're correct about Petro bumping that rump down the road.

But your take is that he was not part of your team. You haven't had him all year. You know you're not going to have him. It's fine. So that's great. Wow. That is so good. Darren. Darren goes, dude, where's my car? Oh my God. That is one of the great... Did you make that up? Did you steal that? Darren, did you steal that? Oh, my. My God, Darren. Darren, where did you get that?

Dude, where's my car? Darren, where did you get that? Dude, that is fucking so... I mean, like, literally. Darren, you get nothing. We're making t-shirts and you get nothing. I don't know who, but thank you. Who would buy that shirt? Because as an abs fan, like, you're really bummed out that he's not in.

Imagine celebrating a player's injury with a dude wears McCar shirt. But dude. No, dude, Dan. Bednar should wear that at the next game. Can you imagine how funny? Yeah. You what? My first memory of Blockbuster was seeing Dude Where's My Car in the Blockbuster.

Like you saw that... The first memory is it's seeing that in the dumpster as they were tearing down Blockbuster. Oh. Wait. When you said seeing Dude Where's My Car in a Blockbuster, are you saying it... Like the VHS. Oh, the DVD, right. I thought he was saying he saw a screening of Dude Where's My Car inside a Blockbuster.

You know what? Actually, when I was growing up, when we would all get jobs, our first jobs at like 13, 14, there was a video store called Stop and Go video. And a couple of my friends worked there. And there was a TV in the corner. And one of my friends who worked there, shout out, Brian. He was a big movie guy like me. And he would just all day put on like his favorite new movies. And I would occasionally go to Stop and go video and just like sit in a chair in the corner and like chat with him and eat the candy that they sold and we'd watch like full movies. Yeah. I went to a video store to watch movies with my friend. But that actually makes sense because you're getting it for free. It was kind of cool. It felt like something from a 90s movie. Yeah. We should actually write this. We need to leave right now. Just what happens? We just watch movies in a video store? No, no. We need to go write that movie. Yeah, I'm saying in that movie. Oh, in the movie. Yes. Well, it doesn't feel like there's a lot of conflict. Well, you just said it sounded like a 90s movie.

So let's make it. You know what? You got me. You did just say that. I'm back in. This movie's going to be sick. I know. It's going to be an instant classic.

There'll be a cameo from Zach, and he walks in, he goes, oh, dude, where's my car? And then leaves. Yeah. That's awesome. Wyatt would do that. Yeah, he would. That is true. That is true.

Listen. I think the Patrangelo argument does not hold water. The stone one does. And I was actually going to go into this game thinking, we should institute a rule in playoffs, not regular season. Yep. In playoffs, if a member of your team that is in the top, we're going to call it five in points,

is out with an injury, you should be able to. to pull an Uno reverse card and remove someone on the other team. Whoever is, so like, let's say, what is Kail probably? He's probably a second. As in power ranking. How many points does he have on the Aves? Oh, oh, I'll tell you. Look up the Aves team points.

Let's say Kail is second in points. Regular season or playoffs? Regular season. Okay. The Avalanche points in the regular season. Kale McCar or no he's not second third Marty Natchez is second Marty yeah that's it Kail McCar third so I think that they should be able to pull a

Una Reverse and remove whoever on Vegas is third and points on their team from the lineup until he's back oh dude I'm very into this but I actually think You're leaving some meat on the bone Oh you know who's third? Markstone Markstone So my idea is perfect Did I plan that? Did I plan that No. And look at that. It's a perfect idea. So I think what we can say here, folks, is this is even blood. The Vegas Golden Knights are better than the Colorado Avalanche.

Yes. Because the KL injury is perfectly equivalent for how it fits on the team to Mark Stone being out. So it is even and Vegas won. I think, Dan, this should be, uh, I love the idea. And I think instead of just being one for one points, it should go like this. Everyone should have, uh, skills. I've been reading dungeon crawler Carl, so I'm deep into like a skill, a skill point system. Did you just say dungeon crawler Carl? Yeah. What the fuck is that? It's a new, it's a fantasy book series. Why am I not reading it? You should be. You will love it. Really? Oh yeah. Is it hard fantasy? Um, no.

You're telling me this book is called dungeon crawler Carl. Dungeon Crawler Carl. What happens in this series? And is there a guy crawling around in dungeons? Yes. Why is you crawling? Uh, it's what we call it. That's how you call moving through the video game.

Oh, that is sick. You're a crawler. Wait, why do you keep seeing video game? Is it a video game? Um, kind of. Not very, yeah, kind of. Do you not want to tell me? No, I'll tell you.

Do you want to hear about it? No, no. Yeah, I want to read it. Okay. in that game and similar Dan to Pokemon you have skills and attributes right

like shot the shot is this defense score is this whatever I feel like a fucking idiot you spill that no I've been just trying to drink my drink and there's ice in my drink and it's like nothing's coming out and I was like oh dude an ice cube keeps getting lodged

in the opening and it's just like I had accidentally just closed the opening oh it was classic open close the classic open closed now it's perfect that's why you go no lid no lid that that is crazy work by you why don't you just drink

out of a glass well here's the thing the lovely lovely oh they keep flashing your shit takes the shit off my desk and then it's in the fucking kitchen and then now the top is gone and I'm like what the

where's the top did what the fuck anyway in Dungeon Caller Carl and in Pokemon, you get attributes shot, boost, skating boost, skill boost, defense boost. When a player goes out, you should go, okay,

here's his D score, here's his shot score, here's his blank, blank, blank, blank. You get to remove those, the same level of score from the other team in any way you want. So if it's a one for one, sweet, it's one player. But you can also be like,

give me these three guys. I want all these three guys out. And they only have a three on the D score, each of them. But then that equals a nine, which is McCarres D score. You get to eliminate the D score by being like, oh, McCar's out, I'm taking out these three guys. Yeah. Do you prefer that or the points point one for one?

I like the one for one because it adds in some drama. Okay. But I really like that. I really like that. Someone's coming out. But yeah, listen, we're Uno reversing. And this is the hockey gods doing a perfect reverse. It's even blood.

Let me tell you this, Dan. You asked me if I was scared if I was an ass fan. Yes. When the Rantanin' jubilee took place, which is what I call the two weeks run of everyone, people getting traded to 50 fucking different teams all at once. Did you close it again? It closed on me. Oh, that's its job, Dan.

It wants to close. I shouldn't have to open every time I drink. I don't know. listen when the rant and Jubilee happened and everybody said

everyone was weighing who came out on top and Avs fans a lot of Avs fans a lot of the internet was going dude Natechis is younger right

or something I think he's like a bit younger and was on a better contract and it's going to give you the same production especially when he's playing with someone like Nate and then he's done that

right and everyone said look at him going Good God is Nate just good 100 points this year first time in his career. Incredible fucking season. Incredible season. Every single Cain's fan. And I know we always have Cain's fans in this chat. So please back me up here. Every single Cain's fan said one thing when it happened. And obviously you're going, they were excited when they got ran in for a moment in time.

But they're trying to be happy. But they all said one fucking thing, which was Martin H. just disappears in playoffs. Enjoy him in the regular season. He doesn't do anything in the playoffs. And I'll give you his playoff performances for Carolina. Eight games, four points, 11 games, five points, 14 games, five points, 15 games five points, 11 games, nine points. That one was

solid. It doesn't do anything in playoffs. This year, Dan, or sorry, I'll give you last year for Colorado. Seven games, five points, but one goal. This year, Dan, a hundred point regular season, 38 goals, regular season. He's an incredible player. Ten games, 11 points, but one

talk. So it's like, thank you for the points, but I'm like, you had 40 goals. I, yeah, I'd want more goals. Yep. But he's over a point per game and I think that's great. Wait. Yeah. This may, maybe, sometimes

references a game behind, so he might be 11. Well, no, because they've played, this is their 10th game. Oh, yeah, yeah, it is. So they got up. Yeah. Yeah. So he's over a point per game, one goal. Yeah, I'd want more. I have, I got nothing bad to say about Mernie Naches. Keynes-Fanty doesn't score any goals in playoffs. And I think, well, I mean, they're statistically correct.

Yeah. So, yeah, maybe get a couple more tucks. You had 38 goals. You can get, I'd like that to be three or four. Yeah, you would like that to be three or four. I'd like to be three. You know who else, dude, actually? So, yeah, and Marty's got to get going.

I don't even want to even look this up because this might scare me. Yeah, fuck, I hate this. I don't want to tell you what I just saw. I think, I think, the whole kale thing being out. Yep. Is obviously a big topic. And Stone being out too.

So like Vegas fans, don't worry. I know everyone in Vegas is being like, but Stone is out too. The point of me bringing this up is that. I'm like, they are right. Stone's out. Cale's out. I don't think, obviously, different positions,

but you have your number three point score, your number three points score. They're both out. I think the big thing here is Okay, keep going, I have something to say about that. If I'm an Aves fan, I'm not tweaking, it's a loss, whatever. You lost one to Minnesota. You figured it out.

You heard Nate after the game talking about execution. He was like, we're not executing. We're not, you know, we didn't. He's like, Nate goes like this. The better team lost. We all saw who the better team was tonight. Did he say that? Yeah.

Did he say that? No. I was like, what? I didn't see that because that would have been wrong. Nate, you got fucking, that's what they say every time. That's what he says every time. Well, he was like, he was like, I just said execute, like five. He kind of like snapped at a reporter.

If I'm an A's fan, if I'm the Aves team, I'm not tweaking, whatever. You lost a game. You got outplay, too. You got out of play. Yes. The one thing I will say is this game. And does this mean the Aves can't win in five still? No.

But Vegas is way better than people think. We talked about it with Marty in our preview episode. Everyone wanted to shit on the Pacific all year long. Vegas is way better than people think. Mr. Jupiter says, this is what I just looked up and I said, I don't even want to tell you this. Mr. Jupiter says he's way more concerned about Brock Nelson than Natchez. And Brock, dude, 33 and 32 for 65 in the regular season. Perfect hockey player.

Yep. Two, one, two goals, one assists three points in ten games. Yeah, that's not. Is he just tired? He's too tired. Damn. He's, he's been, he won him Olympic. Simmons is old.

He's old. He's tired. I think Brock, Daddy Brock. He left it all in the lawn. Daddy Brock left it all out there. But Daddy Brock's also like, I think Daddy Brock's doing a bit of isolation too. Like he's shutting down teams. And if he's doing that, that's okay.

Yep. But yeah, now we're in a, now we're in a battle. We're in a dogfighting. Here's, here's, Dan, why you are scared. because McCar is clearly in shampus. Like normally he would be hurt and then, but he'd be playing and there wouldn't even be a, there wouldn't even be a questionable tag on him.

He would just be suiting up every game with no, we wouldn't even know, and then later they would go like this. Macar's shoulder was dislocated that whole run. And I'll go, oh, wow. The fact that he's actively missing practice, actively getting questionable tags, and then now missing games.

He is half, I bet half his body's paralyzed. And how many days have they had off to? He's been out since May 13th. Has not touched the ice since May 13th. Dan, he might be dead. Has anyone even seen him? Has anyone considered the fact that Kail McCar is a dead man? That he's deceased, which would be a tragedy.

That would be terrible. I think there's a legitimate chance that Kale is in the hospital. Well, listen. We have a location on him. You want to see? Okay, yeah. Take a look. Dude, Nate.

Okay. Confirmed. We have him. He's been found. Yeah. He's with a few, several beautiful ladies. Uh, a dog. And, uh, he's holding a steering wheel.

Interesting. Maybe driving to a hospital. The premise of that movie is they forget where they parked their car. Is that right? They, uh, they wake up the next morning. hung over and they walk outside and he's like dude where's my car? And he's like, where's your car, dude?

And then they start going to look for their car and they retrace their steps on a crazy wild night that they had. It's actually a genius premise. I think this is like you every weekend. Yeah, yeah. This is Genevon. The Bond's. Jennifer Garner is in this movie. Is that true? People forget that.

God damn. Right? That's Jennifer Garner, right? That's one of his girlfriend. Is she the dog or is she the woman on the right? I think she is one of the girlfriends on the right. Let me look. They have girlfriends? Yes. Good for them. Nice wheel.

Their girlfriends are incredible. They're like, they hold, they're the glue. They hold everything together. Yeah, Jennifer Garner and Christy Swanson. Wow. Look at that. That's a great poll. Yeah, I think there's a chance, Dan, that he is in the hospital.

And no one knows. You know what's funny is I'm going to bring up Zoltar later in this episode. Yeah. And that's Zoltar. from Big. And what's funny is whenever I say Zoltar, I think Zoltan. Me too. And I can't believe that organically did whereas my car came up in this episode.

How crazy is that? That actually is insane. Like that, I mean, truly, man, this is when the synapses are firing and connecting. Poison Ivy says, people used to tell me I looked like the lead alien girl in that movie. And your alias on YouTube is now Poison Ivy? It feels like something stuck, babe. Feels like that God in your head. And that's also a massive compliment.

Yeah. Right? I think so. Who's not laid alien a fucking babe? Alien. Oh, it's at the like, uh, at Zoltan's place. Yeah, right. Like the arcade.

Yeah, yeah. Wow. There's like a real alien. Sounds like you're a fucking rocket, Poison Ivy. Congratulations. That's amazing. Dude, so we're, just to be clear, there's a real alien in that movie? I'm imagining that Zach and Evan are watching, dude, where's my car?

right now. Yeah, the stream has been dead. Yeah. The stream has been dead for several minutes. There's a... Yeah, we're full-ended, where's my car, dude? There's a super... Her name is super hot giant alien.

So, congrats. There is like a big alien in that movie. Yeah, I forgot that there's a real alien. How did we get there? Like, that is... I have to re-watch this movie. That's really funny. I thought you've run into an alien.

I'm pretty sure Christy Swanson's name in that movie. is Christine Boner. No. That's incredible. Yeah, I think that's like a plot point. Like, they're like, your name's Boner. Like, I'm pretty sure they say that. Do we need to watch Dude Where's Macsard?

Wait, hold on. I can't believe it. Yeah, Christy Boner. Yeah, Christy Boner. I cannot believe this, dude. Wow. We used to be a proper country with proper films. Tell me about it, pal.

Should we keep talking about Dude Where's My Car or not? I think so. I think so. Yeah, it sounded good. back. Naceus gone. Brock Nelson gone. McCar in a wheelchair.

So how do you win? McCar is literally saying his last words to his family. He is in a hospital bed saying goodbye to his loved ones. So I think when they swept L.A. in the sleepiest

series of all time. And then after game three, it looked like we were going to be in a barn burner with Minnesota. And then it was like, actually, you're dead in five. When all of these guys weren't scoring and didn't have points, it didn't matter. Because you have won, you've got through two series and nine games.

Who cares? But now you lose game one. And now you're going, Marty, Brock. It would be lovely if you showed up to the saloon. It'd be lovely if you grabbed a stool. And get in the fight. Yeah. Get in the fight.

Marissa goes, Macar. in the morgue. Yeah. Macar has a fucking toe tag on. We're identifying Kail McCar by his dental records. All kidding aside all kidding aside, you do look at the time off since

the 13th and you're still not playing. That's what I'm saying. You're kind of like, oh wait, you're not questionable. You are very hurt. Yes. And the same goes for so. As is Mark Stone. Same goes for Stone. He's had less time off, but he missed. No, he's actually had more. I think he was out even before McCar was out.

Stone is dead too. And Dan, Stone is the Grim Reaper. Mark Stone is, is hurting. Like, we need him back. We need them back. And no one's talking about it. I don't like it. No one's speaking it into existence. Everyone's dead. But maybe, Dan, maybe there, maybe Vegas is just a little bit more sneaky, sneaky than Colorado.

Colorado's kind of being out there. They're going, yeah, Kale's fine. He's skating. He's going to play. It's all good. Everything's okay. And then he doesn't play. And that's kind of weird. But Mark Stone, you don't get a whiff of him. No one has seen him. No one knows if he's doing anything. No one knows what his real name is. I don't even believe that's his real name. It's not. There's no chance. Do you think, who do you think comes back in this series first? Wow. Petrangelo. I think Mark Stone comes back first.

I think McCar is in shambles. I, yeah. Bednar literally said he was going to play in game one, so that I could be way off. I think he's going to play, and then he just didn't. It really could have been a game, game, game time. But I just think he's in trouble, dude.

I think he's in trouble. Okay. Here's a question. if Mark Stone comes back in game two and Kale is not back, are you peeing down your leg a little bit if you were calling out? 1,000% Hmm. Hmm.

Something to think about. You know why too? Something to think about and something to prepare. You know what else? Dan, here's the other reason, pal, friendo, is the dock made the trip. The doc worked Doctors Without Borders, dude. Doctors Without Borders.

He went to Colorado. People thought maybe he could only fucking practice in Las Vegas. Doctors Without Borders. He goes right into Denver and goes, put a fucking patient down on the operating table. Watch me remove his spleen effortlessly. And then he did. You're talking about Doc Marner.

Yeah. Yeah. He is the best player in these playoffs. Dude, so many people, I can't remember if it was our pod or one of the lies, but so many people in the comments were like, yeah, dude, wait. Oh, Marner showed up for the playoffs in the first time. Wait till he plays the abs. Wait till it gets tough.

Then you'll see, then you'll see the little Mickey Mouse disappearing act. And I go, dude, this mouse attacks you, dude. This mouse sets a human trap. Fuck you. He's the doctor and he goes anywhere. Did you see how surgical he was with that pass? Yes. it was insane.

He's also just, I mean, his numbers across the board are preposterous. It's fucking it's ridiculous what he's doing. And this is just, it's really sad when you see someone

succeed and then it also means that someone is in misery. And what do you mean? Is the other team? I don't think that the city of Toronto can recover from this. Me neither. But I can't believe that it's making you sad. No. Well, I mean, you never want to see a city fall apart. Dude, you aren't supposed to be able to make this pass. Look at this pass.

And I actually have a theory about it, Dan. I wonder if you believe me. Wedgewood, I think. The actual answer is he just doesn't see Scorophye have right there. I think it's really funny that Nate, is that Nate or is that O'Connor? That's running him? Yeah. O'Connor. I think it's O'Connor. He fucking murdered. And Martin, do I love him? the team just goes to celebrate in Marners on the ground in the corner. He's in the morgue with kale.

Yeah. But unfortunately he's a doctor so he's able to fix himself. Yeah. He's got healing potion, dear. Here's my theory. He, when he gets that stick around and he's beginning to make the forehand pass, Wedgwood is starting to push across because he's like, the only pass he can make is across me.

He certainly can't hook his forehand all the way up there. So Wedgwood's moving right because he's like, where's that pass going? And then the pass goes right here to Skorofiav, who fires it home. And Wedgwood's like, wait, how did you get the puck from your forehand right there to behind you? It was insane, dude. He looked like fucking stretch armstrong. It was like anything to go anywhere he wants with that thing. I mean, he's so, he's in flow state, right?

Yes, he is. And I'm sad. because Toronto is a lovely city and there's good people in Toronto and they are now going to be removed from their homes. Yeah. They're going to be relocated.

They're going to be put in District 10. Know that sequel we've been waiting for for like 15 years. It's coming and it's going to be District 10 the destruction of Toronto. And dude, who does Matthews turned into a fucking, what are those guys called again? Prawns?

Prawns, yeah. feels racist. Oh, it's 100% racist. It's about apartheid. It is about apartheid. People forget that. Matthews turns into a prawn, dude. Well, he's going to be gone by then.

Yeah, he'll be long gone, Willie. It's going to be like Willie. Yeah. Yeah. Which is like... And then we also, dude, we see a dude. We see a prawn, but with like a blue jersey on running around. Making flowers.

And I'm like, holy shit. Is that Willie? Is that Willie Nealander? It'll be, he'll be, he's going to be selling bootleg, Swedish candy in the streets. Where do they get relocated to, though? I don't know. Maybe Oklahoma City, because there's already aliens there.

Oh, okay. No, no, San Antonio. What? Yeah, sorry. San Antonio. Oklahoma City. Well, no. He was in Oklahoma City because they're playing in Oklahoma City, but they're going

back to San Antonio. Yeah, yeah, they're going back. I'm just sad. I'm sad for the people of Toronto because this is, I mean, listen, I'm sitting here loud and proud wearing my Chelsea kids. even though it's the worst day ever because Arsenal are champions. Yeah, sad. So sometimes you have to fight through the storm, and that's what Toronto fans need to do.

But this is a bad look. For all the shit you talked. Oh, my God, dude. And now it's like, oh, it turns out all he needed was just an actual team and teammates who care and are going to fight and ownership and coaches and GMs who are going to fight. Toronto wasn't fight Dan

I want to talk about this too The The abs Even though it Even though resulted in an incredible goal By Landy After one of the most diabolical Cutbacks in the corner

By Nate on that corner play I forget who that I might have been Theodore actually No I think he was in the box I forget who was playing D on Nate there But Nate sent You know in the You know the Datsuk

shootout goal, the famous one, like the first time he datsukes. And I think it's Vokun. It is. He left Vokun on 4th Street. Yeah. And they go, he left Vokun on 4th Street. That's what Nate did to whoever that defenseman was in the corner. Quite literally.

He put him on fucking 4th Street and then cuts to the net and feeds Landy goal. Incredible goal. Made it very interesting, 3-2. The Aves pulling their goalie there, they get the peeper. They pull their goalie. And then I was texting you a bunch of guys going, what do we think about the goalie pole? And we were all kind of like, you don't need this.

And then obviously they immediately score, so whatever. But the aves should think, we are way better than Vegas. We're talking about the third goal, right? The goal that made it 3-2. Okay. It's the Landis God goal. Oh, yeah, the Ab's second goal. Yeah.

You know how when we are in beer league, dude, and we're down, especially if it's not the top league and we're down and they go, should we pull the goalie? I'm usually like, no, because we can just score anyway. And I don't want to give them a free one. The aves should be going on the power play. We can just score on Vegas. It's fine.

We don't need to pull the goalie and again, it worked. But even that move made me think the abs are a little in their own head already. Especially, we were texting with Marty last night about it, especially when they have a. free clear. Yeah. Wait, watch this fourth street, dude. Watch this fucking put you on fourth street. Bye.

Isn't it funny? McKinnon move is great. That's what we're talking about. Yeah, it's, it like was an amazing highlight. Isn't it funny how like, see you McNabb? And you know in that moment, just change. You know in that moment too? McNab is like,

can you fucking please, dude? Just like stop. Oh, no. Because McNab is such a good player. Just, just, just illustrates how good Nate is. I love it when you have that clip with Nate talking to Sid and he's like, yeah, I'm like kind of choppy and blah, blah, blah. And Nick says like, you're choppy, eh? Yeah.

And I'm like, Nate, just because you are a brick shit house and you move like a bullet train doesn't mean you're choppy. Yeah. It means you're an anomaly. Yeah, right. You're special. It's okay. Yeah.

Be special. You are special. Listen, I think the kale out, stone out, I just short-circuited for a second. Yeah. Cale out, stone out. It's a factor, sure. I don't think this game teaches us anything until game two,

because I think it's, you know, Aves had some time off. They find out they don't have kale. Vegas is way better than people think. This is the first, you know, like they're seeing Vegas. And they're like, okay, shit. Like Vegas has been getting better. All right. Let's regroup.

Let's play. Let's see what happens in game two. Now, I will say this. We got to talk about Carter Hart. Oh, okay. Carter Hart, to me, is the story of this game. Great. Carter Hart's the story of this game,

and he is arguably the story of the playoffs. Of Vegas' playoffs, if not Marner. It is Martyr. We all had a massive question mark on Vegas's goaltending all season long, and then even when they signed Carter Hart, we were like, how is Carter Hart going to be? He hasn't played in years. And now we're in playoffs.

And it's like, let me try to find Carter Hart's numbers. From that game? No, these playoffs. It's like, I got him for you. Give me his, here we go. Carter Hearts save percentage by game these playoffs. Okay. 947,

969-9-6-9-24-8-26-9-29-2-6-9-26-9-7-1-957. That is Kahn-Smyth shit right there. Sure is. Pal. And this Vegas team, I think, loves their team. They go out and they get Marner. They go out and they get Rasmus Anderson.

And you're just going, man, if we just have goaltending, like we had the year we won the cup for Maiden Hill, we can win. And Carter Hart was like, is this, is this good? Do you like that? Do you like what you're seeing? Me now. You know what I will say? I don't want to be completely off base here, so I'm going to check a couple of them. But the Vegas Golden Knights, usually there,

and a lot of this is Butch, but they play great D, right? Like, that's kind of their thing. They don't give you a lot. That's the MO, I would say, of the Vegas teams in the past. But if you look at these playoffs, and obviously, coach and everything. But if you look at these playoffs, I would have expected Vegas to be winning because Carter Hart's playing pretty good, but the opposing teams are getting 21 shots a game. And dude, go and the afts just pumped 38 shots on them in this game. Go back to the Duck series. The Ducks are out shooting them pretty much every game. If you look at it, it's like Anaheim, 33 shots, Anaheim, 36 shots. The Vegas Golden Knights are giving you a lot. Maybe the argument is it's not

a huge, huge high danger, but even that I kind of disagree with. But normally, Vegas goes, boom, 21 shots a game against, that's how we win. This playoffs, they're going, fire when ready, boys, who fucking cares? And the other team is peppering them with pucks. And Carter Hart goes, gotcha, dude, which is why his save percentages are so high. Usually, dude, you check a top goalie. They have a stinker in there in the playoffs. They have one game where their saved percentage is 750 because they're like, yeah,

you know, I got lit up. Carter Hearts is like, the worst one was fucking eight, whatever the fuck you said, because they get a thousand shots a game and he stops all of them he doesn't care he doesn't give a fuck he does not care that's what's crazy he does not care he doesn't care and it's

it's just huge for this Vegas team like it's you kind of had and I feel like Wedgwood is the same like no because he's had some ones where I'm like oh you get a lot of goals he's had two he's had two games but even tonight dude like how many shots

how many shots did the fucking nights have checking right now. It's on the screen. It's on the screen. 28, dude. Three and 28, I mean, it's not horrible, but it's not like they're fucking 40 shots a game. It's sick, empty netter, by the way. Yeah. That was awesome. It was awesome. You love to see a hustle play.

It was just great hustle by Dowd. I mean, that was fantastic. If you watch the reverse view of that replay, as soon as Jack is going to shoot it, Dowd is already taking off. I was like, that's up here, dude. That's right up here. That was fucking really sick. I have a penalty question for you. Okay. I think it was Shea in the box when Nate put McNabb in the spin cycle.

Shea takes a high stick. And it looks like to me he goes like this to whack a puck right in the slot and then comes up and hits whoever in the face. And I was confused because the rule is if you are shooting or passing the puck and you're followed through hit someone in the face, that is not a high stick. that is allowed. Now I think, and maybe someone in the comments can tell me this, because we got the, as you all saw, we got the volume turned off on us so I could watch a fucking basketball game. But we were watching in the office with no volume. I think they were saying Shay missed the puck because he clearly was trying to hit the puck, but he missed it. So here are my two questions for you, Dan. One question, one comment. Question. The rule is if I'm shooting and I follow through and hit you in the face, that's not high sticking. That is a literal rule. Correct. Okay. So what if someone sends me a one-timer and I miss, I, I, camera like I miss the one-timer,

though, I whiff it, and then follow through and hit you in the face. Penalty. Just because I'm a plug? Yes. Learn your lesson. Bum. That's what I say. But if I, but the puck is nicked.

The puck is nicked. Nicked. No penalty. No penalty. Yeah. Okay. I think that's fair. I think it is too, which I think, and I hope someone in the chat will tell me.

It's like addressing a golf ball. Yeah. If I fucking. take a hack on my drive and completely whiff and the ball's still sitting on the tea. It's not a stroke, dude. It's embarrassing, but I'm like But you know what else, Dan, if you don't address the ball and you're clearly taking a practice shot and you hit

the ball off the tea, it's not a stroke because they're like, that was a practice shot. That's also a rule. That is a rule. So now... I think that's the difference, like, because once you're addressed, like, that's gameplay. Okay, yeah, now we're in the game. If it's in the game, it's in the game. If I high stick you and not in gameplay, no penalty. Yeah. We weren't playing. Between the whistle.

I go, well, I could skate right up to you and slash you in face. I don't know, though. Garty got one on Cid and then he got a bell. That is true. But anyway, anyway, okay, so I think I'm okay with that. If you whiff, if you whiff, then unfortunately you don't get the luxury of the rule. Yeah. But by comment, dude, is we, why aren't we taking advantage of this more?

Like, I think if you, if I was just in the neutral zone and you were coming at me on D, I would just pass it back to my defenseman and then go, and just clean you across the face. And then go, that was a pass. I think you'd get away with that once. and then you do it again and people are going to be like this. Are you intentionally change the rule, falling through on passes to slash people in the face?

Change the rule then. Well, I think the bigger question is, why do you want to slash people in the face? Because you're out now. That's 10 minutes while you get zipped up three teeth. Maybe. Maybe. Like a so boom, three teeth. Maybe.

Boom! Three teeth. I could bring the whole team down. You give me one period. You give me one period and the other team's playing with five guys. No subs. And here we go. David, thank you.

He said, I thought Theodore Nick. it and so did I. I can't believe that was a high sticking. And actually Dan, here's my other, I have a second question. This just, you've now created a second question for me. If a pass or shot follow through hits someone in the face, no penalty.

Does that mean any puck movement? So for example, if I have the puck in the slot, in my own defensive slot, and my whole team is over there, my whole team. But I'm just trying to clear the puck and I go like this and I shoot it off the boards and then genuinely follow through and hit someone, no penalty,

because I was like, I was playing the puck. Or is it literally, does it have to be like a, can you just whack at pucks? Are you asking me what I think the rule should be? Call Dave. Call Dave. No, I'm asking you if you know. I genuinely don't know. I don't know.

I would say technically no. I think it's any playing puck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would be my guess. Same. And I thought Theodore nicked it. Tough call. Tough call for the guy.

That is a tough call. What do you have for final thoughts on this game? Final thoughts are this is the app. Lever's literal worst nightmare. No. Yeah. Well, that could be worse. You're being dramatic.

What could be worse? Wedgwood got lit up, I guess. Yeah. I think what would be worse, I mean, the fact that they went down, you start the third period and you go down three nothing and it was immediately like, oh my God. But then immediately Val goal and then you yank the goal and in desperation, you score again. Like this is a one goal game. At the end of the day, like I think Vegas. It was a two goal game.

It was a one goal game. Yeah, but they pulled their goal. to score one and they got scored on one with their goalie pulled. That's a wash. You lost by two. You know what? I like that. You lost by two goal game. There's a two goal game in a game that felt like for a moment was out of control. So the fact that you're able to pull it back like that, that feels good. You're without kale. Sure, they're without stone. David goes, quote, I agree with the call on the ice, Dave J. Yeah. I mean, that is, that's not the most, again, we love you, Dave, but like we got to stop cutting to Dave. It's unbelievable.

Dan, they got beat, they lost all mice. Kale McCar is in the fucking morgue. Yeah, Kale McCar is officially a toot in common, wrapped up like a condom in a brothel. Carter Hart goes, do you think I look like Wollstead? Do you think you can just fucking pump goals past me like I'm fucking Wollstead, you bitch, sure? I'm no rookie.

And Marty Nage just can't score. So you're dead. Brock Nelson, minus three last night, Dan. Brock Nelson, Brock Nelson, minus three. They go, Brock's not scoring.

He's shutting down the big dogs. Brock Nelson's a minus three. Here's what I'll say. I think I love this Aves team. I latched my wagon to them. Shout out party, our buddy. Yeah. I hitched my wagon to them.

I think this Aves team is fine. I think they're going to bounce back, regardless of the fact that Kale is literally six feet underground. Yes. What I will say is this was a little bit of humble pie. Oh yeah. I think this was a little bit of humble pie in that we got to respect Vegas. And I think some fans like the ones we saw yesterday being like kale being out doesn't matter. Dude, it is so much better. It's a better look for all of you to not be insufferable twats online and be like, yeah, dude, we're a great team. We're going to see what's coming next. Because then when you lose like this, you don't look like a jackass. And then if you're,

storm back and win in five, which they can't easily. This Aves team can absolutely win in five. If you storm back, you go like this. Yeah, I mean, listen, that's what I said. We're a great team. I thought we were going to respond. You just, it's a way better look. Yeah.

Because there's been a lot of mouth running from some Aves fans online all season long. Rightfully so. Rightfully so. But I'm telling you it's a dangerous game because this is your nightmare. Oh, dude. This is your nightmare. If you lose in the Western Conference final, if you don't even make it to the cup, this is your nightmare because of the Yapin. So stay confident because I believe this team can still win.

But just, you know, put it in your cap, dude. Put a feather in your cap. Here's, well, so a couple things, Dan, a couple things there. One, you're so right about how the Avs could be completely fine. We even, a little behind the curtain Wizard of Oz action here when this power team in here with Ev and Zach and Nate, Nate the Great. and us are making thumbnails. We said put President's Trophy curse on the thumb today. And Dan went, dude, that's a little early.

And I said, well, there's a very real chance that the abs never go behind in this series again. Like they just win the next two. You know, I was like, this might be the only chance we have to make this joke. Yeah. So make it. That's how scary the abs still are. All right. But here's what I find fascinating after one game.

we all went as playoffs were starting and I guess maybe we were thought it might be the Oilers but as playoffs were starting we all went like this dude the fucking Pacific has been such a joke all year but whoever comes out of that side of the bracket

after their little pillow fight is going to catch the central champ but they are going to have beaten themselves to a pulp after two rounds and the Pacific team is going to win and so that it's hilarious to me that that Vegas is now up, like the Pacific team is now up, but the central team didn't beat themselves

too far. They waltz, they sleptwalk to the Western. They played nine games. I'm like, dude, what are you doing? Like, this should have been the easy. You're playing the team that was horrible all year who actually did have hard series, and you have had two sweeps. Like, what the fuck?

But I think what we've learned, as we talked about with Marty in last episode, is Vegas, Vegas tricked us. Vegas is a bunch of magicians, which makes sense. David Blaine? Yep. Yeah. They learned from him. They learned from Blaine.

They learned from Chris Angel. They've got Penn and Teller in their back pocket. Vegas tricked all of us. And they did their little hobble-limp bullshit into the playoffs, just barely being atop the dog shit Pacific. But in reality, they were this good the whole time. And now Colorado's learning that. And that's why I think Colorado could be fine.

Because I think they're going, oh, we weren't really sure how good you are. Here's a very important question I have for you, Dan. Very important question. So somebody just said this in the chat. Let me find it. Keaton. He says this. Carter Hart was looking like the Hoover Dam.

And I was like, whoa, what a seat. sick nickname for a goalie. So first of all, if there's ever a goalie named, with the last name, Hoover. Actually, but I guess is that, is that, what's the vacuum called? Isn't there a vacuum? The Hoover vacuum. That's also a, Hoover Dam is what you're thinking

about? Okay. You have to get a Vegas goalie who's called Hoover. Well, so, but here's the thing. The Hoover Dam is an incredible nickname for a goalie. And he goes, Carter Hart's looking like the Hoover Dam. And I just went like this. Holy fuck. Should we start calling him that? Where is the Hoover Dam? Because I was like, is

it in Vegas, that would be sick. So I look it up and the Hoover Dam is in Nevada. So I was like, oh my God. But then I saw this. The Hoover Dam blocks the water that's blocking, that it's blocking is the Colorado River. Yeah, it's perfect. Oh, wow. So now, I don't even know, I don't even know what to say about this, dude. He's literally the Hoover Dam in Nevada blocking the Colorado River. Like this actually could be the most diabolically sick nickname of all time. Someone make a fucking t-shirt. And Keaton, you get nothing.

You get absolutely nothing. And I'm sorry for that, dude. But Carter Hart is now the Hoover Dam blocking the Colorado River. Keaton, why would you give us this? You guys in the chat, we love you, but stop giving us million-dollar ideas that we're just going to take with no remorse. You think I care? Now they have evidence.

You think, oh, give me a break, dude. I will sue me, dude. You don't think that I can fucking erase this shit. We're stealing that. Do you know? Carter Hard is the Hoover Dam. Thanks, Keaton. Thanks for all of your money.

Thanks for your intellectual property. Keaton, you want nothing to do with Mots, my man. You want nothing to do with Mots coming from you, pal. Don't you? Motsie will bring the hammer down. You'll eat you alive. Oh my God. Okay, yeah, Dan.

Scary stuff for Colorado, but they might be fine. They need McCarback, though. They need McCarback. He is the conductor of that train, of that runaway train. Yeah. Listen, you got fucking Mitch Marner and you got Carter Hart absolutely buzzing. The dock and the dam. The dock and the dam. And now you're in trouble.

Before we get into the series tonight, there's a couple little bits of hockey news I want to talk about. Yep. Oh, I got some hockey news too. Do you? Yeah. Do you want to start? No. Okay.

Simone Nemach. has apparently requested a trade out of New Jersey. I got some texts about that. We got a right shot D-Man who's apparently available, dude. What do you think about that? Dude, I think he's awesome. And he's had the craziest career because people seem to think he's not good, but he is good.

And he's an incredible chip, and he either should have been played or he should have been traded. And it's about time one of those two things happens. And if New Jersey is not going to trade him, then they should, or if they're not going to play him, then they should trade him. And they should also trade Jack and Luke to Minnesota. That feels like an irrational blowup. Does it?

They've sucked. They beat the Rangers and then have literally sucked to dick since. It has been bad. It has been bad since. But I think that that's slightly irrational. But I've been saying for years that they need to trade one of this group and the defense. I don't think it should have been Nemich, but now here we are. But now here it is. He's gone.

How good does Simone Nemich in Anaheim sound to you? Ooh, that would be sick. That would be sick. That would almost be unfair. You know how sometimes corporations are like enough? This is a monopoly. I think if the ducks got Nemich, the league would have to step in. Yeah.

Say this is not right. Give him to San Jose. I think it'd be great. That'd be great too. Yeah. The two teams that I pegged, I was like, that's pretty good. do you think it is in we were two years ago like you just mentioned when they beat New York the devils were kind of in this like where we are back we're surging and now all

a sudden you got people requesting trades yeah now it turns out there was a surge protector are they like are the devils dead yes the devils are finished the devils are the worst team in the league and uh i actually have to eat crow on this because I said that keef would take them to three cups in the next six years because the problem was Toronto. Turns out the problem was him. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry to come to that realization. But they don't have it.

You don't have it. That's where the situation is. If you guys have not seen that show, the Wet Hot American Summer TV show. Have you seen that ever? It's so good. Turn me on. Dude, love that show.

Bro. It's not stucco. the what's that what's that actor's name from madman who's um john slatter slattery slattery yeah yeah yeah the older guy yeah yeah yeah with the white hair yeah dude he does a uh talent show they're like casting the talent show with uh amy amy umy polar and it's like this chick gets up there and sings twinkle twinkle little star beautifully a ton of people do yeah but she gets up and sings twinkle twinkle it's gorgeous and he goes okay enough stop and she's like oh uh do you want me to And he's like, as she's saying, like, I can do something else.

He interrupts her. He goes, you don't have it. It's so funny. It's so fucking funny. I decided to do the clip. You want me to say, you got up there and you ruined this room like a dusty, wet fart? It's fucking incredible. I love how they're playing younger versions of themselves, but they're 20 years.

It's amazing. So, so good. Yeah, okay. Namich gone. What else you got, Dan? I wanted to talk about the the Huck brothers Oh yeah sweet The Huck Bros

And it was funny because Let me find this We've got two twins Guys twins Basel Twins Um And And fuck I gotta find this fucking graphic Dan

You can find it. I know you can. Yeah, it's a filibuster for me. Philibuster for me. Is it H-U-C-K? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, and Dan... Here we go.

I got it. I got it. So, Ruck. Sorry, not Huck. Ruck. Damn. I thought that was his first name. I thought Dan found a guy

named Ruck Huck. No. That would have been awesome. We got Marcus Ruck and Liam Ruck. Playing for Medicine Hat. This season in 68 games, Marcus Ruck, 21 goals, 87, assists 108 points. Liam Ruck, 68 games, 45 goals, 59 assists 104 points. Apparently everyone's saying

Liam is good and Marcus stinks. Really? Which is crazy because Marcus had more points. But this is also what's crazy. I love how you can play for medicine hat and have over 100 points and you have fucking fatso clowns and dipsets like us who are like this. Well, I mean, one of them stinks. And I'm like, well, it sounds like they're going in the first and second round. So I would hope. I hope so, dude. I just, yeah. I don't know that we, any people who are sitting on their couch can say these guys stink. If you get drafted in the seventh round, you are very good at hockey. I used to love going to Sox games, and there's, the Yankees would pull out Jabba Chamberlain to pitch the eighth inning. And some, the fattest dude I've ever seen from Southie would be screaming that Jabba is a fat slob. Yeah. That's incredible. That's what's happening here.

So you got the Ruck Bros. twins you do you if you are a NHL scout or a GM and you've got these guys one of whom seems like he's going to be a late first round pick the other a second round pick they that's not acceptable they have to go to the same team

they have to go to the same team yep because they play on the same team yeah this is like the sedeen thing Zach if you're unaware of this Henrik and Daniel Sedin two Swedish players came into the league and they were like yo we have to play together. So the Vancouver Canucks literally had to figure out a way to make a trade so they could pick like back to back and take these two guys.

That's wild. They played together their whole career. And then they didn't win the cup and Vancouver literally had a riot. That is correct. All that hat is all correct. But the twins were great. But the point is I don't think you can separate these guys. So if you're picking in the late first round,

you like you've got to know that you need to take the other one otherwise neither of them will reach full potential unless they play together. Hold on Dan, hold on. And I found that the Washington Capitals have picked 16 and 18 in this draft. Now a lot of people are saying that's too high for both of them. But I'm like, I don't think it matters.

Who cares? Dude, you don't even realize the potential that you are getting. How about this, Dan? Does anyone have a pick late in the first and then early in the second? This is what I'm checking right now. This could be sad. That could, oh, sad. Yep. Wait, what is this bullshit, dude?

This kid, I guess we don't know yet, right? Like, who's picking where? What do you mean? Absolutely we do. Oh, fair. No, so, like, we don't know the late picks just yet. Oh, okay. Oh, interesting, interesting.

This is like original team, they're moving, you know, some teams have, like, this, it belonged to Vegas, It's now Calgary's picked, right? So Calgary picks 28th overall, or right now, picks 28th overall in the first round because it's going to be the Vegas pick, but they will have that late first round pick, and then they pick 35th overall third pick in the second round.

So they could go, like if Vegas goes to the cup, Calgary will pick like 31st and then also 35th. Yeah. Also, Calgary picks 35th and 36, so they can take them both in the top of the second. That could be interesting. But then that's a nightmare because then you play for Calgary. and then, you know, your life is over.

And I'm sorry about that. True. The Chicago Blackhawks pick 34th and 37. Top of the second. That's pretty good. Bedsy, bedsy, bedsy. Maybe that's it. Yep.

Maybe the Rucks go to Chicago at 34 and 37. That's actually, let's put a stamp on that. Oh, you know what? Oh. That's actually synergistic because you know, oh, well, this kind of doesn't make sense, but Alan Ruck played Cameron in, uh, Ferris Billers Day Off. But he was a Wings fan.

But in Chicago. But he lived in Chicago. And the Hawks terrorized him, his whole life. Right. I think that's why he was like the guy that like hates the local team because he's like hated the jocks. He actually would love this in fact. If the two elite twins went to the Hawks to continue to terrorize him. The Black Hawks were in a rough go when Cameron was hanging in Chicago.

So it makes sense that he felt tormented. So now it's going to take a couple of rucks to change the puck luck. Yep. Yeah, keep going. And then, fuck. Yes. We knew we were good there. Yeah.

It was only going one place. God, that was great. And I'm glad we landed that plane. So, yeah, someone's got to take them both. That's it. What's your news? Okay, a couple things. One, Lindy Ruff, signs two-year contract,

or remains a savers coach. Awesome. Awesome. This man, we almost took this man's job in November. And listen, it might go, it might all go downhill. Yep. But it doesn't matter.

He deserves that two years. It's incredible, dude. It's amazing. You know what? You know what, Dan? Here's why it's incredible. If this blows up next year and Buffalo stinks again and they have to fire him, so be it. So what.

Yep. So what. Because he deserves. He deserves two more cracks at this. Because if they let him go to be like, thank you. We're moving on. And then Buffalo kept surging. That's not fair.

That is not fair to my man. We will always remember this amazing season. Yep. And now they just need to trade Owen power. everything will be fine. Everything will be fine. So that's incredible. Dude, Jeff Merrick was talking about, he was like, the Buffalo Saver should trade Owen Power and get Connor Hellabuck. And it just made me laugh because I was just like, it is so funny how many Buffalo fans were upset about the idea of making a difficult trade that would make your team better.

Yeah. And I'm like, this is what it takes, folks. It takes. Yesterday, Dan. But don't trade him. He's amazing. Yesterday, the sports business awards took place. Sports biz? The sports business journal puts on the sports business awards, and this happened yesterday. That sounds so fake. Can't even believe it. What do we say?

Let's got to get back to business, doing all kinds of business. Oh, dude, Vince an adult man. Business-wise, that sounds like legitimate business. That's the business awards. That is the Sports Business Journal Business Awards. That is correct. It's held annually, Dan, by the Sports Business Journal. It takes place at the Marriott Marquis Times Square in New York.

And I'm going to tell you, the big award, League of the Year, NHL. Ping! We did it! Boo! I wish we had fucking confetti in here, dude. The League of the Year. NHL wins League of the Year by the Sports Business Journal Sports Business Awards. Holy shit, dude.

And, you know, they cited getting players back at the Olympics, and they cited having an outdoor game in fucking Florida. They said, hell of a year. That is, you know, sorry, they cited the Olympics. They said getting players back to the Olympics. Oh, oh. I thought they were like, the NHL wins league of the year, the Olympics. And I'm like, well, that's not the NHL. It's like when banks have a commercial, and it's like a shot of the moon landing, and then it's like Wells Fargo.

And I'm like, what the fuck did that have to do with you, dude? It is incredible, dude. It's like Lance Armstrong ripping across the finish line. And it's like Dyson vacuums, a cut above. And I'm like, no. Really? Are we anti-this? I'm on the opposite side that that fires me up.

You just want a cool, cool images. I just want, I want an eagle flying over the Bowizer commercial. I want to see Jack Hughes's fucking teeth just ripping out, dude. I want to watch that and go, you know what? This is America. some back you I'll buy it. Dyson is very Dyson is not. What's funny

is like I completely agree with you those commercials do fire me up but I... He's actually right. I think he just won me over. I'd be lying to you if I'm not like what does that have to do with fucking Chase Bank but at the same time you're right I'm like who fucking cares dude get me a credit card? I'll buy a ball ball ball ball ball

I don't give a shit. Whoa whoa that's Swedish dude I know but they do that shit those commercials. No we gotta we gotta take these all American achievements. Need to be used for American company. I'll tell you this. If I see a fucking BMW commercial and they are putting Jack Hughes's bloody face in there, I'm going to fucking lose my mind.

I will go crazy on that. You can't fucking take that shit from us. We will only sell capitalism with American achievements with American companies. Yeah, they should be showing fucking Tate McCray, the teeth out. America, baby. Bang. Stolen. We really did steal Tate.

We really did steal Tate. I'm American. and here's the thing that's going to piss some people off. Dude, if Trump wanted to do anything good, Grant Tate McCrae, American citizenship immediately. Yeah, that would be the biggest fucking... Dude, I don't need the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah, but then she won't have to get married for it.

Yeah, you're right. Yeah, she'll get married. Yeah, she'll get to earn it. Yeah, Jack will be able to look at him and be like, what the fuck? Yeah, that was the one thing. That was the second thing I had. Yeah, you've got to earn it.

This is going to piss people off, but I legitimately think, Dan, based on this conversation, that the Winter Olympics, until the next one, at least, are now American, the entire Olympics, because we won the marquee event.

Like, sorry, dude. And I'm sure, who won the most goals, Norway? I'm sure Norway is like, no, we won the Winter Olympics. And I'm like, incorrect, we won hockey. It's over. The Winter Olympics are American. Yeah, because cross-country skiing isn't all that excited.

Who cares? So, yes, we got it. True. That was amazing. And congrats on to the NHL. Congrats. Hey, congrats NHL League of the Year. The Times Square Marriott Marquis League of the Year

Sports Business Award brought to you by Dyson Vacuums and American Capitalism. It's really coming together with the hat too. This is all working with that. Yeah, correct. We really landed the plane. Okay. It started with the rock fuck rhyme and now here we are. You're going to start singing the national anthem or? Yeah, do it. I actually was singing the Canadian.

Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. It's a good one. It's so good. It's so good. And then here's my last piece of news. Okay. The, our good friend, well, I'm going to figure out how I want to display this news. But our good friend, Matt Chase, made a really cool documentary about Gavin McKenna's journey to become the number one pick. It is called the McKenna Project. Awesome.

All right. It premieres tonight on everything. Okay. Like, it's, I think it'll actually premiere on TNT. Wasn't it this on in JMOs the other day? I don't think so. Or that was just a different. McKenna. Yeah, it airs tonight following the game tonight. So if you're watching the game,

or yeah, this is live, if you're watching the game tonight on TNT, Matt Chase's doc with McKenna, full access. It's actually incredible. It's on TNT. So Matt had reached out to us and it's everybody's in it. Like, you know, Mikey G's in it. A lot of boys, home by three guys. Like everybody, Matt did a great job and reached out to a lot of the hockey internet platforms to get in. And Matt had reached out to us to be like, hey, I want you guys to be part of the dog. So, which is why we have the screener and all this stuff. And there was a couple times that we were going to fly to Matt to do these sit-down interviews for the dock.

And it was like, we were in Tampa for stadiums here. You know, a lot of shit was happening. We kept missing each other. And then we had something set for, I think, during the finals. And then the NHL was like, hey, we actually want to bump this up, which is sick. Like they want to give you a TNT premiere during game one of the Eastern finals. We got to bump this up, which meant, though, Matt had to go into the final. final edit way quicker.

And he was like, hey, dude, I'm sorry, there's no time to do the sit down interview anymore. And we were like, oh, shit, that's okay. And he's like, all good. I have some of your podcast stuff that I'm going to put in. And I was like, sick. So, you know, we signed the release and he gets the pod. And then he sends us the link. And admittedly, I've only seen half so far started it.

And then we had to go to work. And I turn it on and I'm watching and everyone's popping up. And then bang, here we go. it's when he's like deciding to go to college and it cuts to boom, empty netters pod. And it's Dan and he goes, Dan goes,

do you have any idea how big it is that the top prospect the projected first overall pick is leaving the Canadian junior to come play in the NCAA and then I open my mouth to respond and it cuts away. I'm out there.

And I'm literally out of the end. And I'm like, And again, I haven't finished. Maybe, maybe CP comes back around. What the fuck, Matt? Dude. And I'm out of the dock, boys. I thought I was getting my TNT fucking premiere tonight.

And I am done. Well, your face is on it, right? Yeah, yeah. Just sitting there like this. Okay. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Well, that, yeah, that's a non-speaking. Non-speaking.

Yeah, non-speaking role. You'll still get a little bit of money. A little bit, dude. Yeah. If you had a line, you get more. Jesus fucking Christ. Dude, hey, drinks on me, fellas. Unbelievable. I had something to say about that.

That's tough. It's okay. Let's jump into this game tonight quickly. We'll touch on the game tonight. Unless do you have more news? No. Fuck. I love news. News is incredible. We should work for CNN. You know what? I want to make people wait. Can we talk about something that we did on Tuesday night? What did we do? What is it? Yeah. Chris and I separately.

but together. Oh, yeah. Went and saw a film. What movie? The sheep detectives. What the? Oh, dude, Zach, you gotta fucking learn. Everyone out here,

you gotta figure some shit out. Everyone out here on movie Twitter. On movie Instagram. Going like this. Obsession. Obsession. It's the greatest horror movie ever made. I feel like every time a new horror movie comes out,

everyone does that, by the way. It's, if horror's having a real big moment right now. It is. And I couldn't get a ticket to that movie Tuesday night. Let me say this. Yeah. Obsession is fantastic. Is it good? It's utterly fantastic.

And Curry is such a fucking beast. Love him. It's amazing. Go see it. But I do want to take a moment to talk about the sheep detectives because it's phenomenal. Wait, can we two seconds? Can we plug? They're almost Friday if you guys want other content.

They did have an interview with the obsession folks. So anybody into obsession should go check it out. Almost Friday podcasts. Go check it out. Fuck yes. It, sheep detectives is so fucking good and fun. And this is a time where we love movies and we love cinema. And we need more people going to the movies and more people enjoying cinema.

And I feel like a lot of people see the title, the sheep detectives and see Hugh Jackman talking to a bunch of sheep. And they go, that's ridiculous. I won't see it. And I understand. We do. Me too. But you will love it. Go watch it.

The sheep detectives is incredible. You guys went on Tuesday, what theater? AMC. Did you? Okay, so the discount Tuesday? Half off, baby. So here's the thing, I love that because we're broke, everybody's broke. And I've noticed that, like, on Tuesdays, if you don't get a ticket early, it's really

hard to find, like, two together. Yeah. Because I try to go Tuesday. But the one bad part is, the fucking crazies come out on Tuesday. Like, people, like, talking. Like, I went once, and I'm pretty sure there was a couple there who, like, lived in an RV. and they just wanted some air conditioning, which, God bless them. But they brought their, like, dog with them.

Because I'm, like, thinking about it. It's like a $7-8 ticket or whatever. It's amazing. And it's great. But I'm like, wow, now I'm sitting next to, like, people, like, washing their nuts and stuff. Like, just getting some respite. He's in the bathroom, flashing, you know.

Yeah, like, I'm like, all right. But, like, come on, guys. Like, can we quiet down? I want to watch this movie. Yeah, you need to bring a, you know, when you go to the DMV and you have to bring proof of ad, proof of residence? Yes.

You need to bring proof of residence to half off movie night. Do you live in that van or do you have a house? Do you just want to come and hang out? And that's fine. Just be quiet. Just let me watch the movie. Like you're more than welcome to hang. Just be quiet.

But it's not a social hour. That's so awesome. God. That's so awesome. Okay, Dan. Game one tonight. Oh, yeah. We saw the unbeatable abs lose home ice in game one.

And now everybody's freaking out, rightfully so. The freak out is going to be times 20 if the canes lose tonight. And do you want to hear it? crazy fact. Yep. The Carolina Hurricanes have never won a game one in the Eastern Conference final. In their whole franchise? In their entire franchise's history.

2002, lost to Toronto, 2-1. 2006, lost to Buffalo 3-2. 2009, lost to Pitt, 3-2. 2019, lost to Boston 5-2. 20-23, lost to Florida 3-2. 2025, lost to Florida 5-2. They have literally never won a game one

in the Eastern Conference final. Wow, that cut to me was great. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was good. Yeah, fucking listen, you want to fucking get

that Mo Mo Mo Goin? Win this game. Dan, I'll tell you what. It's not even get the Mo Mo Mo going. It's if you, you're different. keeps telling me that canes are different. There is a simple and ironclad way to prove you're different. Win this game. If they lose tonight, they're the same old canes. Full stop, dude. I'm not saying they're going to get swept, but I'm telling you, if you lose tonight, then you're just the same canes that lose in the Eastern Conference Finals every year. Dude, we talked about it in our series

preview that came out yesterday with Alec. I believe in this cane team. I think they're different. I think they're going to win this series. I think they're very, very strong. I think this game one is so immensely important. It's absurd. It's insane. Like you just, you're at home. I know that you've been in Cancun for two weeks golfing. Yep.

But you have to come out and win this game. Yep. And what the fuck was that stat, Marty said? That I, which one? Or maybe you said it, but it was like. Teams that have swept. Yeah. Teams that have won game seven, right?

Playing a team that has just swept. the game seven team is seven and one seven and one like that fucking blow every if i were a member of this kane's team i would not look at the internet for the next 20 days like i would just be like you can't hear any of these little facts or these little things because i'm like i just i need nothing in my head right now this is it is the this is uh nick cage driving eleanor in gone in 60 seconds the carolina hurricanes in the eastern conference final Like you have, the amount of ghosts. Yeah.

Is unbelievable, dude. You are fucking, you are, you are Bill Pullman in Casper. You're living in a house of ghosts. Yes. And we're about to find out if they're friendly or not. Because if they're not, you're about to get swept again. And it's a nightmare. And dude, even though Montreal hasn't done that well at home, which is crazy.

We keep joking about Buffalo. It's like, oh, my God. But they haven't done that well at home. but man it's just that looming threat sucks if you're the canes where you go we gotta take care of our shit now Dennis our boy Dennis is going to game 3 in Montreal

is going to have the time of his life but that looming threat about going to Montreal means you just have to take care of business for these first two games and you haven't played in so long it's fucking nuts so can I break in news you yeah please please please please please Tomaj pro cop

okay Czech hockey insider yep or excuse me slowback hockey insider and just retweeted by Chris Johnston. Oh shit. Simone Nemich did not request a trade from the New Jersey Devils. So the New Jersey Devils, they're better than ever.

Holy shit. Jack's staying, Luke staying, Quinn is coming. They just got Quinn. That means they got Quinn. That's actually what happens just now. They just got Quinn. And dude, I got a text. So we're talking a little Hughesy.

Yeah, we're getting the Hughes trifecta, dude. It has to happen. It literally has to happen. This is incredible. In one live episode, we had the death and destruction of the New Jersey Devils, and now the devils are back. They're going to win a cup. Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. I'm hearing some stuff, though, that he was, that he's open to it.

They're not saying he asked for it. Yeah, maybe he didn't request it, but he's turned on by it. He just said, I could be aroused by that. Yeah, he goes, I didn't request shit. I could be aroused by that. But that sounds pretty good. That could be what happened. Yep.

So what do you think happens tonight? I think the Canes win. I think the Canes win, and I think it's going to be a little chess match, like a lot of their games in the past. I think they're going to go down in this game. And I think they fight back. But I am going to say Vladar was great for Philly. So respect to Philly.

But you played, actually, Omerk was great for Ottawa. He was pretty solid. Oh, I thought Omerk was great in several games. So I'm not going to say that the Keynes have. haven't really played a great goalie, but I do think Dobesh is a dog. I think Dobech is a dog. He is. I also think when you look at the Keynes two of the last three years in the conference final, they've played Florida. And like a great floor. I mean, heavy. The Florida team that the Keynes went up against last year was absurd. Yeah. That was an absurd lineup. I'm sorry,

much better than this Montreal lineup. Oh my God. So I think that, Obviously, they lost that series, but I think that they can tell. Who do we think this is? That's incredible, dude. Just grow a stash. Believe it. I actually, I can grow a good stash. Yeah, that's all he can do.

It's all I can be in life. It can grow a very good stash. All right, sorry. I think that they look at that, and again, they lost that series, but they're like, we've played better competition. that doesn't mean that much Montreal can absolutely win this series like we said dude

they could fucking catch Carolina in their fields and in their ghosts they could possess Carolina's ghosts and fucking probe them and that's a that's a Spooksville situation but I think Carolina has to go in this and go listen do we had a ton of rest

in round one after round one we came out and we won that game immediately this is way better competition than Philly it's way better competition than Ottawa But I think you have to go, fuck the rest. We are fine. Freddie is fresh. Go in and win.

But I will tell you what. What did we say? They haven't given up more than two goals all fucking playoffs. Yeah, Freddy's played eight games. He's given up 10 goals. If Montreal scores even three. Yeah. And even if you win.

Yep. If Montreal scores even three, I think that they're like, oh, fuck me. Well, it's also not sustainable at all what they're doing, obviously. obviously. That's what you think. Yeah, yeah. I'm still on this aura and I think there's a lot of aura with that team. No, you think with the have, with Montreal, though, right? Yeah. Yeah, no, Chris is on your side. I'm saying it's not sustainable what the canes are doing, where they give up one goal a game. So to the point that I think if you give up three to the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Finals, you don't go, oh no, because I'm like, dude, you were eventually going to have a hard game

where you give up three fucking goals. Like this is the, welcome to the real world, pal. So that, That is coming. I was ready to say that the Canes are going to lose game one because of all this bullshit. Yeah. Just, it just, it felt too perfect. The Canes lose game one. The internet fucking explodes. The Keynes go, oh my God, we lost another game one of the Easter Conference finals.

All this shit. Yeah. And the rest. You know, I'm the, I'm the anti-rest guy, not even you. I'm saying this fucking three-month break is a nightmare. So all the signs on earth, on earth, are pointing to the Keynes to lose this game. They lose game ones. They haven't played in a million years.

they've literally never won a game one in the East Conference final. Yes. The game seven versus a sweep shit pumps them. Yes. They are haunted by ghosts. Everything is a nightmare. But for that reason, I think the Canes do win tonight because they are going, voice. We are different.

This is the chance to prove it. And Montreal was kind of limping into that Buffalo game one. Maybe they learned a lesson, but they felt like that. So I think the Canes win. Give me the Keynes tonight. but it's going to be a blood bath of a seer. I don't think anyone rolls in this, and the canes better be ready for that shit,

because I'm not sure they are ready for that aura, Zach, to be honest with you. They think they are, but they are not. They're not ready for that aura at all. Not even ready. The Habs' aura is real. It's so real, and the cane's ghosts are real. And the question is, are we ghost hunters? or are we, who gets notoriously killed by ghosts in movies?

Like butlers and like, you know, like people who like see the ghosts in the beginning. Or like gas station attendants. Oh, girls fucking in camps, boys fucking in camps. People fuck, teenagers fucking. People who are fucking in dark, dirty areas often get killed by ghosts. So we gotta find out if the canes are people fucking in dark dirty areas.

Owen Wilson gets his head Oh, in the haunting? Yeah. Yeah. Haunting, dude. His head is decapitated from his body. Yeah, by like a lion statue or something. Yeah, it's like a swinging pendulum out of the fireplace.

Damn. Great film. Yeah, spooky film. Spooky. This is the conjuring, potentially. Okay. For the Keynes. You don't want it to be the conjuring.

You want it to be something much better, but they've got to go. They want it to be Ghostbusters. They've got to be Ghostbusters. Someone get them their proton packs because they have ghosts to bust. If the Keynes walk into the game tonight in Ghostbuster costumes, not only are they winning this game, but they are sweeping the Canadians. And now it's their move. Like literally show up in Ghostbuster suits if you want to win.

And if you don't want to win, then you will be haunted by ghosts the rest of your life. This is such a good idea. It's that simple, dude. Just show up in a Ghostbuster costume or get swept out of the Eastern Conference Final. The choice is yours. I would accept fans doing that too. Fans, okay. If Kane's fans arrive in Ghostbusters costumes, that will be a good way to bust the ghosts.

Because there are ghosts all over that arena, I promise you. You haven't won a game one ever in your franchise history in this round. Correct. bust those ghosts or they will bust on you. And no one wants to get slimed. No. Busted, it makes me feel good. Yeah, it does make me feel good too.

Yeah, but... It's in the song. Yeah, no. I hope so. No one wants ghost bust on you. It's sticky. It's ectoplasm. We don't want that.

What up? Can we shout out a comment right here, Julian Cruz. 7029 said we're crossing streams to bust the habs. Incredible. Julian, you get it, you got to cross the stream. People think you shouldn't cross the stream. They say never cross you. No, but you do. But you've got to cross the stream. We got to bust these ghosts. So I think that Cains can do it. It feels like a night for history. Yeah. Doesn't it? Yes, it does, Dan. That's what I'm saying. There's so much going against them.

Sometimes when you have to read the leaves when you go, oh, it's all going against you, so it's going to keep going against you. Sometimes there's so much going against you that it actually goes for you. It goes so against you that it spins all the way around and is actually going for you. Here's my, I will say, a message for Habs fans that I do genuinely believe, I think there is zero pressure for this Montreal team. That's correct. We've seen the aura is growing. Zach's right. And we've seen the fandom getting so fired up.

You're back in an Eastern Conference final. That's incredible. And there's obviously that this is the youngest team to make it to an Eastern Conference Finals since 93. Guess who that was? The Habs. I know there's a bunch of history that feeds into the aura, but I'm telling you right now, if this Habs team loses in this round, if they get swept, which I don't think they will,

it doesn't matter. You are so ahead of schedule. You're playing with house money and you've got all of the demons working in your corner. like every every bit of history and every bit of Spooksville is anti-Kanes. Dude, it's, um. Is there any narrative that's like, well, if the, if the habs lose this, blah, blah, blah, no, there's no single narrative of that. So you are just fucking laughing.

Laugh your way to the bank here. Dude, this is, this is the scene in Return of the King where, um, you know, Nick Suzuki jumps over the edge of the boat to face the canes. Yeah. And they go, just you. That's what we have to beat. and then a billion green ghosts come pouring out of the boat and attack the Carolina hurricanes. Yeah.

That is exactly what's happening right now. The Montreal Canadians have just pulled into Raleigh with the army of the dead. And they will not be released until the canes have been eliminated. That is correct, man. Yeah. If they start winning, it's because there are ghosts on their side. And that is well played by Nick Suzuki to have the right sword and go into the fucking caves and battle the ghost king and get him on your army. That's what they did.

Incredible. All right. Incredible stuff. Let's shout out Aaron. Oh, yeah. Thank you. I literally haven't written down right in front of me. I can't believe I was about to move on.

Montreal already has a championship. Hell yes. And Dan, it has been the year of the double. It has been the year of the double. The men and the women won Olympic gold in hockey. Yep. The women just won the cup in hockey in Montreal. Yeah.

So if the men win the cup in Montreal, it is the year of the double. Montreal P-dub, Walter Cup champs. Shout out Aaron Ambrose. Shout out Haley Skimura. Fucking, shout out Poo. Yeah. Shout out Laura. What a fucking wagon of a win for nothing.

I was talking to Aaron on FaceTime last night, gas and beers, custom beers that had them like the victory championship on there. I was like, how do you make those already? It was unbelievable. But shout out Walter Cup champs, Montreal fucking writes. Let's go. I was on them heavy, big, really. People were like, who do you like this year?

And I was like, Montreal's getting it done. They fucking got it done. Dude, I was hilarious because when the women lost, the Canadian women lost the gold, you know, I send her in a nice text. It was like, hey, sorry, you know, you were awesome, blah, blah, blah. And then it was sick to text her last night being like, hey, way sicker texts this time.

Yeah. Let's fucking go. She was fired up. I hope she's still awake. I hope she hasn't slept a fucking wink. I agree. that's what you got to do. Like generational run partying here.

You just won the fucking cup. Let's go. Great episode. Great stuff. We'll all watch the game tonight. We will, what are we doing? Are we recording tonight? Oh, you got happy hour.

Grubbs is paying. No, we're going live tomorrow. Going live tomorrow. That makes me so happy. 9 a.m. Going live tomorrow, Grubbs is paying for happy out. Yeah, we have to go, we have a company mandate. We have to go watch the game with Grubbs and he's paying.

Yeah. I'm serious. Who is Grubbs? Kayhill. Oh, Kayhill. Yeah. He's your co-work. Yeah, I don't call people by their last name.

Those nicknamed shit you guys do. Just call them by their name. That's so true. Fucking nickname bullshit. We literally call him Dr. Watkins. Yeah. Yeah, now I'm getting fucking text messages to be like, do you want to be a radiologist in Kentucky for $150,000?

I should do it. I take it, you. $150,000, dude. That's definitely. Definitely go do that. Do you just say, do you concur? Do you concur? Yeah.

Doctor? They go, holy shit, this guy's the real deal. Yeah. Why didn't that concur? Unbelievable. Wait, would he be a better, do we think he'd be a better doctor than the scam dentist you were dealing with? Whoa, dude.

Wong, Wong was not a scam dentist. Wong was just a one-man operation and I'm a boozy bitch. I needed, I need bells and whistles in my dentist's office. There are, you know what, I would sooner, I would sooner walk into a, a doctor's office that looks like it's in Mogadishu and to get zipped up, then I would go into a dirty dentist. So I need my dentist to make me feel like a safe child, little boy. Otherwise, I'm spooked.

Do you mean literally dirty? No, I don't want it to be literally dirty. But like old, sketchy, shitty building. Yeah, it does need to be blindingly white. everywhere. No, I don't need that. Like, I don't know why doctor's offices, I suppose they need it because they need to see everything really well. And if you had like warm colors on the walls, that probably isn't great for operation. That tooth looks fine. Like there's a hole in. Yeah. But I mean, I, dude, I've been

zipped up in some gnarly rooms in my hockey days. So I don't care about that. Like, no, I don't want open surgery in a fucking shitty, sketchy place. But I go into a scary dentist, and that's, that's Spooksville. I feel like I'm on the canes. Don't like that. No, get me Ghostbusters. Get me Ghostbusters. Okay, let's wrap up this episode. Beautiful stuff. Folks, we will see you live tomorrow after this game.

Let's see if the canes can make history. Bang.
