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

Finish tonight with some chicken fingers and a few Guinnesses ran into you guys. That's where this pod came to life. Ice is ready, and we are back with another episode of the Empty Netter. podcast brought to you by bed MGM. I'm your host, Dan Powers. We got producer Redmond back on the sticks because Baker is out. And sitting here with me, I put him in an absolute body bag at a wedding this weekend because I went up and ordered a glass of wine with a skewer of olives because I'm not a

coward. And it is the little scaredy cat puppet himself, Christopher Powers. As always, those olives are good. They were so good. Those olives were good, Dick. Those olives had a kick. Those olives had a little kick. A little stick it in the side with a steel-toe boot.

It just looked like a normal Queen Mary Olive. And I grabbed that screw, I took a bite, and I was like, oh. Did you get red wine? No, I got white. Red wine. Listen, I'll do it. Red wine and olive is. I'll do it with whatever.

Red wine. I'll order a glass of whiskey and get a skewer of olives. I don't care. You just say, you just said, can I just have this skewer? I went, do you mind if I take some olives? She went, of course not. I went, great. I grabbed it myself, too.

I do get a little bad. bashful with that. You never want to grab. I did that. That's a lesson in life. I did that at a bar in LA just like a bar that was not an open bar wedding. Did you get yelled at? The fruit. No, but the woman looked at me like kind of like. Yeah. And I was like what? But I guess don't put your fingers in there. Yeah. But I mean, she's putting her fingers in there. So it's not like anyone that's like, don't start clean. I'm like her hands are. Yeah, but the assumption is that she's clean. Well, she isn't. And everybody knows that. What do you mean? Got employees wash your hands. Yeah, but you're working. Dude, you're picking money up. You're taking credit cards. That's

so true. They're way dearer than me. What the fuck are you talking about? So I'm like, who gets what the fuck? I grabbed a lemon. Check this out. Check, check, check. It's October 7th. Damn. We did it. It's October 7th and the NHL's back. We did it. And I want to know,

tell me how you feel about hockey. Dude, hockey. When hockey comes back, what does it do to you? What's going on in your soul? It gets me, it gets me nostalgic. Yeah. In a way, because we still play obviously, but it gets me nostalgic in the way of just being a kid.

Yeah. Dreaming about the big show. Yeah. Dreaming about the NHL. Game 7, overtime, bar down. Thinking about the net rippling, the red light going on, blinding me, carving into the ice. The sound, the sound. You want to talk about census, CP?

I think about the smell of the rink. Yeah. Smell of rubber floors when you walk into the rink, when you get ready to head into the locker. And when you hear the swing of that door and you get in, you put your bag down, you smell that rubber floor. When you're standing out there looking at the ice, fresh cut sheet of ice. Glissing.

You hear that buzz. Mm. Yep. It's the AC in the building, keeping that ice crisp. Hard. The echo. You can feel the chill in the air.

You know what a door closes, the door to go onto the ice closes in an empty rink? Yep. That echo. Dude. Hockey being back, man. It's just that puck trap. That late night puck drop,

I think about a nice cold beer. I think about a nice hot meal in my belly. getting ready for the fucking game, whether I'm eating pregame meal, whether I'm eating something at the bar ready for puck drop. Hockey being back, it's a change of tides. It's a change of seasons. It makes me finally accept summer's over. Summer is over and hockey is here. We got through the doldrums, that weird phase of is it fall, is it summer? I don't know what I'm watching. I don't really care about anything else. All these other sports going on and all of a sudden we're here in that first week of October and NHL teams are back. Dude, rosters are set. Guys are lacing up the boots.

They're getting ready for that first game. No more meaningless hockey. Now we are here. Every single point matters. Every goal matters. Everything matters. It's no longer time for backyard barbecues. No.

And hanging out with your shirt off. No, no, no. Now we're going inside and I'm watching hockey. I'm watching for some backhand sauce. I want to see fights. First game of the season. I want to see gloves dropped. I want to see teeth lost.

Broken sticks. Blocked shots, dude. Blocked shots. In game one of a 82 game regular season. Someone's sticking his leg out there and taking one off the ankle in game one. Lay down in front of a blue line clapper for me one time. Right off the back. Are you kidding me, dude? Absolutely. And dude, I just want a backdoor one T. I want a backdoor one T. Hammer fucked water bottle in the air. Remember when I was talking about senses earlier? Talking about

smells, talking about looks. Give me some sound. I want to hear that goal horn for the first time. I want to hear that watch the boys go fucking nuts. I want to see Sellies. I want to be knees up in the air, maybe some drags. Grab a little bit of that snow on the ice. Flick it. A little ring one off the bar, Dan. I know you want to score, but ringing one off the bar, that sound. Dude, someone dust a rail for me. I want to see someone dropping knee, drag a sally, get some of that snow off, rip it right up.

Just fucking blow it. Blow it for. Cracking salts. Cracking salts on the bench. Crack and salt on the bench. Lot of yapping. Lot of yapping. Get in deep, in deep. Man on. Head up. Head up. Rim, rim, rim, rim. Cannot believe. A lot of chatter. I'm ready for a lot of chatter this season. Cannot believe you just had cracking salts. I'm going to start. I'm going to We'll start cracking salts before every single game. I brought some.

I brought some for the pod this year. They're on my desk. I should go get them right now. I cannot believe that we don't have salts right now for this moment. Because we've got to be sniffing salts. I'm going to go get them as soon as we've done. All season long. Because I just want to keep going for a second.

How about Dan, how about beating out an icing? How about beating out a cross-ice icing and taking it to the rack? Getting in a foot race? How about beating out across ice icing? Getting in a foot race, waving off that ice and watching the ref go like this. Play on. Play, play on. Beat them there.

Back on side. Oh, he's clean, he's clean. I just can't wait. A nice hard back check. Stick lift. Back check lift. Didn't see it coming? Snap twig.

Snap twig, dude. Drop pass. We are so back. And the energy is just so palpable. It's funny. The season ends. We're tired. We're exhausted.

We need a break. All of a sudden, when the season rears its head and it goes, hey, we're back. The week leading up, I'm kind of like, I'm not ready, dude. And then next thing you know, here we are. And I'm like, oh, I'm fucking ready. Yeah. Oh, dude. I've been born ready.

I cannot. I'm born ready. Tighten those skates, dude. I think we got to stay jacked up. Do you want me to get the salts? No. We got to stay jacked up and we got to talk about futures. Yes.

Hey, let's talk about some futures. Let's get some action. There's a puck dropping tonight. And if you want to get, future bets are so fun because you get to chase it all year. It's not like you bet on the game and the team you pick

to get the puck line loses because you're an idiot. And now everything sucks. The best part is you're never out. You're never out. You're never out. It's a whole year-long bet. And you've got to do it.

it right now because it's incredible. You're chasing it all year and you're never out of it, dude, because things can happen. Everything can change. We're going to rip you some lines from Bette MGM because they got the, it's the best sports book in all the world and all the land and all the interwebs. I hope you get on it too. And you can get on this phone with us. And I need to be very clear up front. Okay. This is not a joke. This is not a, this is not a sponsored segment. This isn't for laughs. Now, these are clips. This is my money. This is my heart. This is my hard-earned money that I am taking and betting on these futures because I believe in them. I believe in them that passionately.

We're finding locks. Yeah, yeah. And I'm finding you something that I want to hold in my hand like a little bird, like a little baby bird, and I'm going to take care of it. I'm going to pet it, and pet it, water it. And then I'm going to give it to you. And then you can nurture it and it will fly. Your bets will fly on the wind if you just listen to me and these futures. Some of them are plus odds.

Some of them are heavy plus odds. But I have a few that are minus, but I just, I think they're so crazy that they have to be genius. Do you want me to go first? Yeah, yeah. I think you got a good one to start us off. Here's my first bet. My first bet this year is a minus 115 number, which I know is not that intriguing. But when you hear this, you're going to lose your mind.

Sydney Crosby, regular season points. What do you think, what do you guys both think? the over-under is. It's got to be 8-7? That would be gas. Actually, they should have done that. I was going to say 85 and a half. Sydney Crosby, oh, good guess, Dan.

Sidney Crosby's regular season over-under has been set by the good people at BetmGM at 84.5. And I would just like to entertain you two with this. Last year, Crosby, 80 games, 91. The year before that, 82 games, 94. The year before that, 82 games, 93.

84 and a half. There are two avenues for one Sid, Sid, synonious, I'm trying to give him a crazy name, but I can't change Sidney into anything cool. Sidney, Cipelis, Crospiphalus. I hate, I hate it. Sid will either do everything in his power. All the Penguins fans were like, oh, he'll never leave, he'll do it. He'll go get it bring her back to the playoffs. No. Okay, here's path one. Sydney Crosby does everything in his power to drag your sorry-ass team to the playoffs. And that's easily 90-something You've won your bet Or Sidney Crosby is traded to the Colorado Avalanche at some point

And then he just prints checks As he's on the power play with Nate McKinnon. Did you see the power play at Four Nations? Did you even see what happened on the power play at Four Nations? Imagine them together. Backhand no-look pass. There's 100 points. There's two paths.

Both of them lead to a minimum of 90 points. So when the over under is 84.5, obviously you would take the over and you would automatically hit it. Bro, if you go back to fucking 2014, when he won the Art Ross, he is over at this number every season, every season. Here are the two years in the last decade he wouldn't have cleared this when he went 62 points in 55 games and 47 points in 41 games.

Well over a point per game both times. We don't talk about injuries on this show. So we will not talk about it now. But Sidney Crosby will be playing hockey and he's going to obliterate 84.5. Correct. There's no question about it. I mean, that is, that is as locked as a locked can get. I can't even believe that's the line. I like, normally Vegas is so good. They scare me with how good they are. But this is like, in fact, now that I say it out loud, this is the scariest thing I've ever heard about Sidney Crosby's future, considering how smart Vegas is going out loud. Either they're morons for the first time in their life or Sydney Crosby falling off a cliff, and I'm going morons. No, that's fantastic. I'm a big odds guy. Yep.

As in give me good odds. Things that jumped out at me, I want to talk playoffs. Yeah. I got two pieces of juice here. Okay. One, plus 100, Maple Leafs, Senators to make the playoffs. Even money, we take that.

Plus 100. Yep. Both those teams are in the playoffs. Yep. But if you want to get a little spicy, you want to get a little horned up. So hold on. Yeah, Leaf Senators. That's, that's, do you think that's a lock?

I do. What do you think? It's got to be. Yeah. It's got to be. I wish it was better odds. But I guess they can't be because they're like being a lot. I think the Sends could get a top three.

I think they could too. With Florida fucking being banged up? With Florida being banged up. Also with maybe, I'm sorry, but maybe Toronto like kind of re-figuring themselves out than the post-marner era. Like I could see them being like, I mean,

maybe they slip to four. I don't think they will, but maybe. Dude, they want to slip to four or they want to slip to like five. Yes. Go across to the other side. A hundred percent.

True. Get me to the fucking. met. Yeah, absolutely. Agree. So I think that, I think it's plus 100 for a reason, but if you want to get juicy, you want to get a little slutty. Chase this. Chase this all year. Plus 290, those same two teams throw in the Canadians as well. A lot of Habs fans will say that they're better than Ottawa. I don't know if that's right. Okay, so the three. But their Habs fans listen right now being like, you think that's a lock? How about us in there? I'm like, here you go. How about you in there? So the three Atlantic Canadian teams all make playoffs plus 290. That's actually an awesome bet.

That's a great bet. That's actually an awesome bet. It's a great bet. And I had them out. I had them out in my predictions. You had the Hap's fifth, so right on the edge. But the five, two wild cards came from the Atlantic last year. And I'm not really scared of the Mett wild card again.

Something will happen. A Columbus, maybe it's them again, but there'll be some flair in there from the MET. But I actually think the wild card could go again. Do you want me to wait? No. Someone dropped our jersey. Nice. Nice finish.

Keep going. Why are you shopping? talk. I actually think the wild card two teams will be from the Atlantic again. I'm kind of on my Detroit train right now, but the Habs train has been, Habs hype train is off the rails lately. So yeah, dude, plus 290. That would actually be a really fun one too because there'd be so much chaos on those bubble teams. Yeah. You'd be fighting each other. You know, we'd be like, I need you both. The one thing that sucks about that bet is if you hit it, yeah, if you hit it, but even if you make it, you're rooting against the Red Wings all year.

Yeah. So I can't make that bet. Yeah, but that's tasty. For some of you, go for it. Because there's a good, I would say there's a good chance. Florida's interesting because of the injuries. But I was going to say there's a good chance that Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal finished three, four, five in the Atlantic.

I don't know who's in or what order, but that would be a fun package deal. That's what we're talking about. You're always in it. Okay. That's actually pretty good yet. What else is tickling your fancy? I'm going to go, I'm going to give you another over-under, and this one is also. So minus 115.

This, boys, this one is so crazy that I'm actually worried about talking about it on the air because I believe it is a glitch and a misprint, if you will. And then now when I talk about it, not only are they going to fix it and no one will be able to bet on it, but also I might be compromised. something might happen to me that they will go you spoke about this on the air and you know next thing I know someone's busting down the door in my place I'm dragged off my handcuffs red's the co-host of the show you guys never see me again interest and everyone goes what happened they go oh dude long story long story long story short odds minus 1 15 over under regular season wins for anthony Stolars. What do you guys think that number is? Stolars. We got the Wall News. Give me 32 and a half. Red? I think he's got to sit around 20. The over-under win total is 24.5. And just for the record, Joe Wall last

year, 27 regular season wins. Stoli the goalie, 21 regular season wins last year when he was the fucking backup and Joe Wall is out indefinitely and even when he comes back Stoli is going to be the starter. And what are the odds on this? Minus 115. Why are you doing some like preachy thing like that? A minus 115 is not. Well, they do minus 115 for both. Yeah, but I'm saying like that's not good. So minus 115 is extremely close to even money. Anyone on earth would take a minus 115 bet. That's a dream. And but I'm saying for the way you're talking about it, you're being like this is absolutely insane. I'm like, yeah, like, they're doing minus 115 because they're like, yeah, he's going to beat that problem. Well, under is minus 115. That's my point. They split these. And the whole

point of over-under setting is they go, this should be exactly how many wins he should get. This should be very hard. And if I'm looking at him, I go, yeah, it should be 28 and a half, 29 and a half. And then they go 24. And I'm like, oh, why did you set the over-under so preposterously low? Yeah. It is a low overrunner, because he's definitely getting over that. Because if they're thing. They're good. Like, if Red is their starting goalie. With the contract. Shut up. With their contract. Red is a good point. If they slip, actually maybe it's you who said that.

But if they slip, then maybe both goalies won't be that high in wins. That's true. But I didn't say that. So give Red the credit. But with that contract, I'm saying he is their starter now. He's the starter over wall now. That's how I opened this. You have a starter

whose backup has left the team. Like, it's not even like you go, and the backup's really good, we're going to tandem. You have literally one goalie on a very good team. Yeah. They just cut James Rimer today too. Did they? Yeah.

What a fun little experiment that was, though. I would have kept him. It was nice to see him back. Good vibes. Yeah, dude, I like you. Good vibes. But good news, maybe it feels like Wall will be back soon. You'd think.

You would hope. You would hope. But I don't know if you were right. That's an over that feels really solid. That's so getable. Dude, he's like in Vesna. If you search Vesna odds, it's always, him listed in like the top six names. Well, it's because of last year. Going into last year,

he certainly was at all. He was projected. And then they played wall way more than solely last year until playoffs. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. And right, he could get hurt. But we don't talk about injuries on this show. No, we do not. And that, dude, I would, I would love, I'm not, I'm not going to do this right now, but I would love to look up the other top five Vezna odds people and check their over underwin totals. they're all like 31, 29. And they're like, anyway, I stole me 24 and a half. Yeah.

I'm like, dude, I'm rich. I am now rich. I'm going to bet on Sydney Crosby and Anthony Stolars and literally become rich. You know what I love about CP? Whenever we talk about bets and he's like, I found this bet, it's going to win. And then he goes like this, I'm rich. I'm getting you so much. He makes like $20.

He makes like $20.10. So I'm like, oh, was that $16 awesome CP? Yes. You fucking loser? Dude, I am just. It's not the money is the thrill. The thrill, Red. I'm going to solve my problems by becoming...

You're excited. You're rich and thrill. Yeah. Yeah. You will not be becoming rich, but you'll be fired up, dude. But listen. Someone else can bet more and become actually rich. I'm giving you the tools.

I'm giving me the tools to become rich. Nothing makes me laugh harder than when you're in the mixer with a bunch of people who are betting. And they're like, fuck it. Come on. You're like, let's go. And they're like, dude, that's fucking huge. I just won like nine grand.

And you're like this, dude, I just won $27. Would you like me to buy you half a drink? You know what sucks, too? The only time I actually do start betting like a mad, like a madman is with Merles. Because he's also betting like a madman. He's a sicko. And then we both get murdered. Yeah.

You two are a horrible. You two are Nick Cage and Charlie Sheen together. Dude, I do. It's a horrible, horrible combination. On Sunday, I was telling him, here's the afternoon NFL slate. And I tell him everything that will happen. I go, the Lions can't cover 10, this, this, this. And then he sends me back the screenshot and literally everything opposite happened.

And he was like, dude, you have a gift. Like, you should... Yeah, that's the opposite. Yeah, like just... Fade. Fade. C.P. Do this to be again next weekend, and then I'll get rich. So everything that is being said right now is just fucking so wrong.

No, no, these are right. These are gold. These are gold. Yeah, NFL's wrong. These are gold. Yeah, NFL, I'm a fool. Yeah. But these are gold. Are you ready to talk about goals? Yep. I got some goals thing I want to talk about. First, I want to talk about the rocket.

Okay. Future bet. Future bet. I like value picks here. These ones are great because I'm going to give you some picks here that you can bet $10. Yeah, and it's a high high odds. You can bet $100 and we're winning big. But let me talk to you really quick.

We said Austin Matthews, we see a big goal scoring year from Austin Matthews. There's a lot of people talking shit about his drop off last year with some injury here and there. And then also the Four Nations performance and then the playoff performance. and then the playoff performance, and now Mitch is gone. A lot of people being like, oh, Austin, and we think he's going to be like this, okay, fuck you, goals. Fuck face. He is the odds favorite at plus 325.

To win it. So right there, plus 325. And I might actually just hammer that to be hot. Hammer that horse. Hammer that one. But I did want to bring up a few that stuck out to me. Number one, Crowe Caprizo. To win.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. We've said he could do it. Finally got his big deal. the Mall of America. He's best friends with Justin Jefferson. This dude needs to put out a fuck you season. He was on pace for 50 goals last year.

He's been sniffing around it. Leon Dreisela won the rocket last year with 52. I could see Krill popping the fuck off. Plus 550. That's juicy. Plus 550 for him. Plus 550. That's good. That's really good. But let me talk to you about a certain man. A certain man who last year finished seventh in scoring.

With 41, only 11 goals back from the leader, Leon Drysidal. 41 goals last year. Perennial elite goal scorer. In a contract year, last year of his deal. Maybe he extends soon, maybe not. But I won Kyle Connor. Oh, dude. I didn't know where you were going.

Would you like to know Kyle Conner's odds to win the Rock. Yeah. Can you give me, well, actually, I'll do this because you're looking up something else. First, let me see this. With something like the rocket, I always stay away from guys who are on teams that probably aren't going to make the playoffs. Yeah, like, Paige Thompson plus 2,000. David Posternak is plus 1,300. Those look like great value, but I'm like, you can only score so many goals when you're on a team that's not going to make the playoffs. So look at good teams. Like Leon wins last year. They went to the cut. Kyle, dude, 29. Rightness prime, dude. Right in his prime. Contract year. 50 goal per written he should be 50 goal score i've said that many times i've said that many times he will be 50 goals can do it 50 goals can do it maybe not this year because austin's going to score 70 but maybe 50 goals do it Kyle Connor i bet he's tage is what 2 000 tage is plus 2 000 so i bet kyle connor is plus 6600 you want to talk about value are you shitting me plus 6600 Kyle connor to win the rocket teams are gonna team's gonna be in the top three of that division yep he is the he is the he

is the number one goal score on that team. And he's going to be, maybe he's going to have some Olympic juices. Olympic juices pumping through his veins. My boy got health bombed in foreign nations. You think he's not a little motivated to be like, are you fucking kidding me? Watch what I can do. Health bomb, health bomb 55 goals. 60 tux.

Health bomb, 50. 60. I'm saying that's what he wants to do. Health bomb 55 goals. See how that feels. He went 47, 47 tucks. Dude, look at that season. 25 years old. 79 games, 47 goals, 46 assists, 93 points. I just absolutely love the value.

those picks. That is an incredible, incredible. God, last year, too, 41 and 56 for 97. This kid is gross. Gross. What's McDavid at? McDavid to win Rocket. Yeah. Dan? Let me see. There's absolutely no way he will. I, there's some clip this off season. He said he's going to shoot more. Oh, okay. That's that's that's, that's, that's, that's, Connor wants to do something. Plus 1800. When he wants to do something? He just says shit. I mean, he's won it. He won it. He won a 64, by the way. I forgot to go that high. Jesus. I mean, that year... Yeah, that was the year. I was like, oh, he'll just...

Do whatever he wants. I think he's more 60 goals from now on. He might be in the next two years of, fuck you, do whatever I want. So true. Dude, it is hilarious that he scored 64, and then the next year had 100 assists. I'm on bed MGM right now.

It goes plus 20 goals, 20 more goals, 30 more goals, the 50 more goals. And I'm like, you don't have a plus 40? Where's the plus? I got a 40 in there. I'm going to take you to it right now. Here's a 40 that I had. I'm going to put big money on this,

and this one paid me last year. I hit this last year. I had a couple different 40s last year. I hit juice to go 40. He hit like 35 or something. I might hit that again, but this one I hit plus 40. You need to stop saying hit. You bet this and you didn't win.

No, this one I hit. You just said he scored 37. I said juice I lost and then this one I got you. Which I did. I hit, hit this last year. I will hit it again. A one Jake Gensel, ladies and gentlemen. Two-time 40 goal score coming into last year.

last year, listen to this shit, dude. Listen to this shit. 80 games, 41 goals, 39 assists, 80 points. That is gorgeous, dude. Gorgeous. My concern, my two concerns for Gensel, Braden point scores a shitload of goals, and that's a lot of goals

that have to get scored on that line because he's on the best first line in hockey. Also, he had 17 power play goals last year to lead the league, and, you know, I need to do that again. But the good news is, to counter both those points, you play with Kutrov. So literally go anywhere.

Go into the offensive zone. Put your stick down. Cooch puck appears on stick. Hit puck into goal. Get credit for a goal. Do that 40 times. I am now rich. It's a pretty simple recipe.

Boom. Gensel, let me give you these odds. Pretty simple. Because I was actually pumped. Plus 320 for him to score 40 goals after a 41 burger last year. I mean, that's good. That's great odds for me. I thought that would be way tighter.

I was going through the 40s. I'll read you some of these because I have it up right here, Dan. Nate Dogg, plus 200, Kyle Connor plus 200, McDavid plus 145, Kucheroff plus 320, and he scores less. So that's why I'm like, Jake is also plus 320. Like, he's going to score 40 goals. I think so too.

He's the best first line in hockey. Jake's a good set up man, but there's no better set up man than Kooch. So somebody does score. Somebody do it. And he will, and he did it last year. He did it last year. Him, Hegel and point. They're going to be firing too.

They're going to be so good this year. Always. So I just feel like that is a, that's when I am, I'm happy to track all you. In the 40 goal range, you've got to get me the odds because my app's not working. Okay. There is an obvious bet that we're making here on the network. Okay. I tweeted every single goal he scored last year.

He's going to do it. Yes, dude. 37 talks last year. Obviously 40 is coming. The team's only better. Cole Field. How many you get last year? 37.

37. Goll Caulfield will. get 40 this year. I think the odds were like plus 440 or something. Only 40 goal scored and never score 30. Cross that off the list. Check. Bang. Okay. So now we got to get him to, we got to get him to 40. And I actually like his chances, especially like we've been talking about, if the Habs hype train is correct. Oh, he's getting. If the hype boys. This is a team empty netters bet. The whole network, all of the fans, we're all getting in on this bet. We are smashing, because this is something that we're all going to root for

together. Senators fans, you're doing it too. We're going to do this together because you're going to profit when he does it. We're all hammering this bet. Cole Coffield 40 goals. It's not coming up, is it? No, it's off on my app too. I had a screenshot from the other day. We've got to figure out what those odds are.

I think maybe we're on to something, dude. We're giving away too many winners in the 40 goal categories and now it's been taken down. It's being frozen. The assets are being frozen. They see it. God, dude, you guys better act quickly. But I'm telling you, we looked early. The odds there are fantastic. It was $400, I think it was plus $4.40.

It might be plus $400. Let's call it plus $400. If it's 440, it's even better. Even better, even better. Plus 400, Cole Cawfield 40 goals. We're getting it. Look at all those fours. We've got to ride that as a team too.

That's a team. That's a network bet. It's a network bet. We're doing it. Netters fans. Cole Cawfield, 40 goals plus 400. Put whatever you feel comfortable. It's $10.

I have a bet, too. I'm going to dabble all the way up into the 50s. And you had said this about our, Ross. And I'm actually kind of surprised what I'm about to say, well, I guess it makes sense. Carol Caprize off. I forget what the Art Ross was. You said maybe plus 320. To score 50, Carrill is plus 300. And for context, Matthews is plus 140, dry saddle is plus 150. Carole Caprize off, dude, his first year, 27 goals in 55 games, then 47 and 81, 40 in 67, 46 in 75 and last year 25 and 41 which is a dead dead on 50 pace yeah there are in my opinion there are only two ways this karel season goes one he goes i am fucking nasty i'm your guy you paid me i will now reward you with one of the most dominant seasons you've ever seen from minnesota wild players i might be the best minnesota wild player to ever live yes i will score 58 goals this year i will win the art ross i will

pay Chris his money. Great bet. Thank you so much. And we are going to playoffs. The other avenue is he goes like this. Thanks for the money. I'm good. No. I don't need to do anything. No, no, no, no, no, no. And he will score 35 goals, which is a great season, but he will completely cash it in and eat too many cookies and too much fried dough at the state stroganoff. Too much stroganoff. He fucking loses a step and we're done here. And I'm dead. But I don't believe that, Dan, because we gave him all of America. We gave him the Kremlin. We gave him Putin, and we gave him Justin Jefferson, and we gave him everything he's ever wanted.

So certainly you can give me 50 goals, which he was on pace for. Yes. And that's plus 300. You don't think Krill can get 50. You've got to hit these. You've got to see it. Listen to me, you've got to see it. You can't just be going to guys that have scored 40 a million times and they go, I bet they score 40 again.

That's when you lose. That's when you lose futures. But if you see it, if you look at the numbers and they start moving around, they start moving back door, they're doing circles. They're doing circles. are going blue line, blue line and back, blue line and back, boom. Now that 47 turns it to 50 and then bang, plus 300. And everyone goes, how did you do that?

How did you do that? And I go, I can see, look through the numbers. Look through them. I love that. It's real 50. I love that. I feel great about that one. I want to talk playoffs, okay?

I got a couple teams that I really like here. Yep. We're going points teams in the playoffs. This is kind of my last one that I'm interested in. Okay. Two teams exact same number. and I believe exact same odds

let me see no we got the over under 84 and a half points okay Anaheim ducks yep Detroit Red Wings

Anaheim Ducks minus 105 for the over okay Detroit minus 125 for the over

Detroit last year had 86 points Ducks had 80 points so Detroit already hit it last year. And the year before that, Detroit 91 points. And we got a better goalie. We get Gibbs. We did the youth movement. We talked about that. We've got Emmett Finney. We've got MBN. And we got my boy Pelly, Axel Sandeed Pelica, making the opening day roster, Hall, Good Branson, put on waivers. Like the youth, this Eiser plan is here. It's right. You think we're not hitting that, and we don't need to talk more about the Ducks.

been talking about the ducks all day, I think both these teams over 84 and a half for sure. I, the wings won, because I also circled the wings one. And I picked them to make playoffs and I'm so, I'm so high on it. Dude, the wings had it the last two years. They're better. That's what I'm saying. They're better. How could you not if you were the way?

You could miss playoffs still. And against the future, dude? What? I'm sorry. The youth is our future. Fear change? The children are our future, literally. Children are our future.

The children are on the Red Wings. The Red Wings are our future. The future, Dan, 1984, 84 and a half. Oh my God. Dan. Hammer. The over. Hammer.

The over. Hammer. Ducks. Ducks have kids. Kids are children. Children are our future. It's just an absolute no-brainer. These two teams are filled with children who are our future.

The future is 1984 and beyond. We are going over 84 and a half points for both of those teams. And those are, to be completely frank with you, those are slim. Dlam Ducks. Those are slam fucking... I'm talking Shaquille O'Neal touching the top of your back with the basketball, slam it down over the top and ripping the fucking... Ripping the hoop

off the backboard, shattering glass. Shatter glass. I love every bet I just made. I have one more that I want to do with you guys. This one isn't a long-term future. These futures are so fun because we're playing all season. This is a short-term future, but it's still a future and it's awesome. Okay. Alex Androveschkin has 897 goals. So there's a bet on that MGM that is who is he going to score his 900th goal against? Oh, fun.

Okay, okay, okay. Here's their schedule, all right? Home versus the Bruins, at the Islanders, at the Rangers, home versus the lightning, home versus the wild, home versus the Canucks, home versus the Cracken. And then they go on the road to the Blue Jackets, but it's going to get done before that on one of those home stands. That was seven games.

He's got to score three goals. goals. Who do you guys think he scores 900 against? The Islanders, game two. Against Seroquin again. Sorokin gives up the record breaker. For the first goal ever, he gives up the record breaker, first goal he ever gave up to Ovi, and then you're saying he gets pumped for 900 also. That would be a dagger. Game five. Okay, Red wants game five, which would be home versus the Minnesota wild. Red, you're looking at plus 600. That's the second best odds. Give me. Give me them. Game five, yeah.

And then Dan, you're saying at Islanders plus 900. I just think, I think Ovi's going to come out hot for some reason. I think he's just, I actually really don't. What's your weighing in at coming into game one? I was saying to Dan the other day, Red, that OV's the old school enough that he treats preseason and training camp like it used to be, which was, let's get back in shape for the season, where guys now show up in the best season. in the best physical condition of their life.

OV shows up like, wait, aren't we like running and shit to get in shape the season? They're like, oh, damn it. I think he's going to start hot for like literally a few games. He's going to score two in the home opener. Who? The season opener against Boston. I think he gets one against Boston.

I think he doesn't score against Sorokin because Sorokin is like absolutely not. But this is what you guys missed. See, unfortunately you two weren't seeing. clearly and I was. Oh God, here we go. Game three at Rangers. He breaks it there because it's MSG, which is cool, but also he wants to party in New York City when he hits this milestone. He gets the same thing with the Islanders. No, you're on Long Island, Dan. He gets on the LIR. No, he, Dan, he's in MSG and he showers up, he walks right out and has the night of his fucking life. First person in

NHL history to score 900 fucking goals. He was partied in the Big Apple. He gets one against Boston, misses against Rocaken, two against the Rangers. Give me the odds on that. That is, oh, also plus 900. So, I mean, I'm printing here. I'm printing, dude.

And the favorite is game four, Lightning. I'm surprised they think it's going to happen that fast. That is shocking. But game four, Cracken... He's going to come out. I'm telling you. I'm telling you, dude, He wants to party. Dave, OV makes decisions based on where he wants to party.

When there are milestones, OV runs at them like a gazelle. Yeah. 900 is a milestone, so he's going to get it quick. Yeah, game three. What happens after he hits 900, then what? Yeah, exactly. That's the beauty question.

That's my concern. I think it's going to really slow. Legitimately might leave. I think it's going to really slow. And everyone's going to go, what happened? You're going to go, he partied his fucking face off in New York City after 900. Those are good stuff. I like all right, I like all right, I like all those bets.

We get a lot of stuff that the fans and the network can get in on. Let's take a quick ad break. Then let's get back with some fun stuff. All right, it's bet MGM time and man, is it going to be fun to start betting on hockey again? Holy smokes. I've been passing the time betting on baseball, betting on some football, but not anymore.

We're back and we had some fun at a wedding this weekend and something very special happened. Before we get into that, I do want to give a quick shout out. Longtime listeners, even longer time friends. Emma and Max, unbelievable wedding. We were up in Kenny Bunk. Yes. Beautiful place. Wand, why keeps saying it wrong? Wandby. Wand B landing. Beautiful place. Dude, phenomenal food. Everything.

Rustic house setting. They had a shellfish raw bar just oysters and shrimp galore. God, it was a fucking dream. That was amazing. It was fantastic. And those lobst rolls, passed out mini lobst rolls. Yeah, they were little burgers, which was interesting. A little salted, little lightly salted bun.

Interesting. I loved it. The one thing that before we get into the fun empty netters thing that happened, at said wedding. I need to give a shout out. Emma and Max, we've been to a lot of weddings this year. Yeah.

And this is not a knock on any... We're about to offend somebody now. Any people at any of these other weddings, I have not seen a bride and groom have as much fun at their own wedding like this in a long time. I mean, I'm talking, I was blown away at these two. They were fucking ripping. They were throwing down.

They were throwing ass. They were throwing ass. They were on the dance floor throwing ass. And the dance floor did not sleep. No. The after party did not sleep. There was, and I heard, I heard they went till 3.30 a.m. Stop. Yeah, at the after party. And, and they, it was inspiring and it was contagious. Because it was very contagious. They have friend groups that we don't know that well, but we were showing up. And then next thing I know, dude, I'm, I'm jumping. I'm fist pumping. I'm sweating. My shirt stuck to me. Yeah. But it was, I couldn't help it. It was like, you know, in the scene in the mask when they try to arrest him. Central Park. The cops start dancing.

That's what was happening to me at their wedding. I feel as though too often at weddings, the bride and groom will be like, oh, you know, I don't want to drink that much. I don't want to get too into it because I want to be taking mental pictures and I want to really absorb it. What are you talking about? No. It's your wedding.

Send it. Have a rip. Go fucking nuts. Pull a hammy out there. And these two did exactly that. Emma was, I mean, truly, man. She is the queen. of brides

that I've seen in a while. She was fucking going to town at her wedding. You know what else was sick? And I don't even not, I'm not even knocking this practice because I think it's logistically makes a ton of sense.

But she didn't even do the change out of wedding dress into dance dress. No, she ripped it in the dress. She put on sneaks, six sneaks. Yeah, but she ripped in the dress. Tossing, dude. Dossinging in the wedding dress. And I was like, yes.

Well, let's talk about what Max did. Yeah, okay. So Max did something so epic. We get to the venue and we do the ceremony and it's beautiful and then we're in the cocktail hour and Dan and I are posted by the raw bar obviously. And then Max comes up to us and he's like, hey, boys, I had something delivered to the wedding venue. And he says, I want you to sign it. And I was like, what could this possibly? I thought it was a stick. Something like that. Dude, what does he pull out? He pulls out a copy of a novel written by one.

Elena hunting. Pink. Dan, it was also like... It's gorgeous. Yeah, the page... I don't even know how to describe this, but the pages, if you're looking at it. There was artwork along the pages. Yeah, you could... Oh my God. A copy of Pucked... The Hockey Smut book that CP has been reading on this podcast. Max brought to the wedding and had us fucking sign. Write a little message, sign it. I'm going to have, for the people watching on YouTube,

I'm going to have Baker and Red put in the pictures. of us with Max, signed copy, unbelievable gesture. And I'm now quite sure that this is going to get back to Helena Hunting at some point. The fact that we are reviewing her book, I'm going through the Pucked saga, the Puckett Universe, we're signing copy. There's a signed copy of her book out there by us. Correct. She is going to hear about this.

Absolutely. I just looked up her Twitter. She's got a new book called When Sparks Fly, apparently. But my favorite is her bio says New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, lover of hockey happily ever afters and popcorn. Might as well throw in anal sex. Deep throats. And titty fucking in there.

Helena. Back shots. You, you pervert. Listen, you know what's fucked though, Dan? Say those three things again. Hockey. Hockey, happily ever afters and popcorn. I really like those things.

I'm like, oh, you know what, dude? Me and Helena might be good pals. I'm sure you would be, the two of you. The two of you sick perverts. but I like very much. You two absolute perverts. Thank you, Helena. Thank you for your service. Yeah. So we got some epic pictures of parked, unbelievable

wedding. Congrats again. Thanks for having us. Wouldn't have done anything differently. Perfect weekend. It's fantastic. Perfect weekend. It's fantastic. Dan, we left that to get back because Alice is here. Alice is here. We are, we're in L.A., which is fantastic. A lot of back and forth, New York, L.A. these days,

but we're in L.A. Two homes. Two homes. Family with two homes. Dual home, family. What do you got planned? Nothing. Well, we're doing a weekend, a birthday weekend stuff.

A little birthday celebration. Yeah. You'll be there, Red. Will I ever. Red's going to drink. Yeah, you're going to break the drink and drink? I don't know. I gave L.T.

I had at the end, last month. I just think it would be shocking if you look Alice in her eyes and say that on her 30th birthday, you're not going to drink for her. You pour out a beer in front of her face and got her to waste it. Yeah, it got him, dude. Red's a good man. Red's a good man. It's easy to get a good man.

Yeah. So we got a birthday Saturday. Yeah, yeah. Birthday Saturday. That's it. No weeknight hangs? I'm a veil. If you think that I would like to spend weeknights with you, what is, you have a sickness deeper than I thought you possessed.

You, me. We, dude. And I see. We'll do a you, me, and Dupree situation. I see. That's exactly what it is. They don't do a UB. Holy shit.

They didn't want that guy there, did they? No. No. No. And he didn't get the hint. No, we had a grip. But hey, when they all looked back, they had a great time. I see it.

When they all look back, they had a great time. Chris Powers, I see entirely too much of you. And if you think I, myself and Alice would like to spend more time with you? I bet she would. I promise you. I bet she would. You know what? Why don't we ask her?

You have her information. I'll shoot her message. And then, hey, if I make plans, if I make some weeknight plans, what are you going to do? With her, do your thing. No, no. I'm going to say, hey, Alice, you, me and Dan, we're going to go. do this. Okay, and then she'll come back to me and go, hey, Chris reached out and I'll go, oh, yeah, I have, I can't do that. Who? Yeah. Yeah. Who was that? I'm going to, I'm going to go. I actually

have a previous engagement. Sorry. And then she'll go, okay, I'll go then. I know. Unfortunately, there's, there's an unfortunate amount of work things, events this week that we have to do, that we get to do, that you will be at. So you are good. I'm a veil. I'm a veil. I'm a veil next week. If you step, if you step foot near my home. I'm going to be up in there. I will have security come escort you out. I know. I live in a bougie place now. Yeah, but they know me.

Yeah, but they know me better. Well, I don't know. Oh, yeah, this guy, Chris, he seems pretty cool. I go, you know what, dude? He's not cool. Get him out of here. Throw rocks from my balcony. Yeah, I'll do that.

That's what's going to happen. I'm going to go to Reds. I'm going to get the binoculars out. All of a sudden, like a suction cup dart is going to stick to my window. Can I zip line? Just with a fucking little note attached to it. I would home alone you. I would literally home alone you.

If you started zip lining across Lincoln Bull I would step out with my garden shears, which I have. And I would look at you and I'd go, sorry, dude. And then I rope swing in, crash through the front door, see the security guy. And I'm like, do you know how a rope swing works? If I cut it from my end, you swing the other way. I swing into Reds. I swing into Reds.

But I loop, I swing over Reds railing, swings me all the way back around. Yeah. I go flying through the air, crash through yours. And I wasn't even going to break anything before. Now. Security swarms you because now you have property damage on your name. But you're like this. Before you were just going to get escorted out.

And then he's like, now. I'm like, look. And you're like, I go, I'm defending myself. And they go, you're absolutely right. This man's dangerous. He's already been kicked out. You're arrested now. Before you were just going to be peacefully escorted out.

Now you're arrested. Now I go to jail. Yeah. I'm hiding my time. I was saying piding your time? Yeah, I was going to say something else. I went, changed it to biting. I was too late. Yeah. Now you're, I'm going to say planning. I was going, you're making, you're biting your time while making pies in prison. Making pies. You've gone full padding to writing letters to Alice. Now you have a bunch of convicts on your side. Yeah. Because you've won them over with your pie. What pie would you make? Cheesecake. Does that count as a pie?

No. It's literally as cake in the name. Yeah, but it's not a cake. Everybody knows that. It's literally a cake. Well, it's not a cake. Well, it's not a pie. I don't know.

When you're bringing pies, like I think about a pie. Let's start again. Let's start again, idiot. You have any pie on earth that has pie in the name to choose from. What pies are you winning over a bunch of convicts in Los Angeles with? Pumpkin. Rubarb. Rubarb.

Are you too fucking crazy? These fucking idiots. I don't even know what rhubarb is, did it? Just pick the one. A couple of the craziest, at least, at least shut. You have at least the season on your side. Like it's October. Pumpkin-bys kind of.

Rubarb. What do you kind of? What is this guy? Rubarb was bat-shit insane. To be. But if you're imprisoned, if you're imprisoned in October and then you go to prison, I would expect several weeks have to go by before you really start making your plan, you get the lay of the land, and then you start piding your time, making pumpkin pies

would actually play. I think so, too. They'd be like this guy's. bringing thanksgiving to us. Wow. We're now on his team. Next thing you know, they storm my apartment building,

like you stormed the Capitol on the 6th of January. Jesus. You're habitual now. So then I'm in, then we get to hang out. That's how this ends, right? Like, after they have infiltrated your building,

I get to go like this. Let's go to the movies. And you go like this, okay. I'm just a hostage at this point. I'm like, I can't fight this anymore. We just get to go hang out. Yeah, yeah. That's all, literally all I'm asking for you.

Chris covered in blood and glass. Yeah. He's like, all right, now I'll tell you out. I had to do a stint, Red. I had to do a six-month stint to get a Tuesday movie. Well, we're going to be hanging out, and it might be against my will. It might not. But in the meantime, we're going to take a quick ad break, and we'll get back to you.

Squad, you know I love everything when it comes to fashion, looking good, feeling good. And here's the thing. People too often focus on the outside. But you've got to start from the inside out. You've got to start at the base layer, and that's where we're talking about skims. We're talking about skivis. We're talking about underwear. Does skims have tons of options in the men's fashion world now?

You bet your buns they do. And we're going to cover those buns first and foremost with their unbelievable boxer briefs and underwear. I love the 5-inch cotton boxer briefs. I also love the stretch boxer briefs. They go up to 7-inch two. Sometimes you want a little bit more leg cover. But what drives me nuts about a lot of boxers, a lot of briefs, they bunch up too much. Sometimes they don't have a nice flow.

You feel like you're getting too hot, too constricted, too. sweaty. Skims is perfect. It's literally unbelievable. I remember my girlfriend talking to me about skims this, skims that, how great it was. And I was like, oh, cool, they don't have any menswear. I don't care. Now they do. And it's fantastic. Don't go to these stupid department stores, places like Walmart Target, buy those just big bundle packs of, oh, yeah, I'm just getting this crummy boxer brief. You got to look good down there. Comfort is first and foremost. And Skims is hitting hundreds across the board in that area. But make sure you look good too. And I'm telling you, these things are sexy. The colors, the styles, the stitching, the logo going around the

band, it's all unbelievable. If you want to feel your best, if you want to look sexy, feel sexy, you want to get that fit going. You've got to start from head to toe, from buns to shoulders. Skims is going to take care of you there. They got sleepwear. They've got oversized teas. They've got beautiful stuff galore. Started off with some of these briefs. They're fantastic. I'm telling you right now. So you're going to go to skims.com. You're going to pick out what you want. You want to get your order together, but then you're going to let them know that I took you there. When you get to check out, select podcast. Then you're going to scroll down. You're going to click empty netters. When you fill out that survey, they're going to hook you up. We're going to hook you up. You're

going to get on the skims train. Be a part of the family with us. I'm telling you, you will never put on a piece of underwear that feels better in your entire life. Guaranteed. We're back and we are going to get into a beer league hotline. But before that, we have a beer league hotline follow up. One of our favorite things. I think it was a few episodes ago we had the twin deliourable. We had a draft in Beer League. One twin who runs the team provided sponsorship for the team. Couldn't be there to do the draft, so he had his identical twin brother do it. His identical twin brother did not select him where he normally was supposed to go and then he got scooped by another team.

There was a whole thing. And then his wife hit us up. And as you said, I love a follow up because we don't often hear from every side of the parties and everything. And we had some tough takes on, you know, you don't really know what's, going on. So we're not going to name her name, but for context, we had named the twin brother who started the team and couldn't make the draft Doug. And Larry is Doug's twin brother who drafted that night and didn't take Doug. Yes. So Larry is on trial here. Yeah. Well, we get, yeah, we, yeah, Doug submitted it. He was like, did my brother do me dirty? You know? Yeah. So then we get

a follow up from Doug's wife. So it says, twin drama from the beer league hot. line clarification. One, Larry plays and has played with Doug for seven years on the same teams and 11 years in the same leagues. So we had wondered if Larry was new to this or if he was just filling it. This doesn't always play with Doug. They're on different teams all the time. Wrong.

Larry and Doug have been playing on the same team forever for a long time. And the implication, the implication is that. Doug has been drafting him this whole time because their league is a draft. So if they're on the same team, that that means Doug is over and over and over and over drafting Larry. Yes, correct. Number two, Doug was off out of town earning his family extra buddy. So, dude, my favorite part about this part of the message from Larry's wife, or

excuse me, Doug's wife, this is the first time we can hear some stag. Yeah. She's a ride or die big. She is in Doug's corner. She is like, this man is out here making us more money for our family. Yep. And then Larry does this. Like, this is where you can start to feel some attitude.

Bro. And I love that. And we were like, why come Doug missed the draft? This is his fault. He missed the draft. I'm sorry. He was earning that bread. Yeah.

To take care of his family. To put food on the table. Three. Doug's wife, parentheses, all caps. Me, end parentheses. works for the brewery that sponsors their team. I'm the marketing and events manager. I've got to be honest with you, Dan,

this bullet point kind of swings me back a little bit anti-Dug. No, no, no, not anti-Dug, but a little bit of Doug's bravado. Doug's bravado has been exposed a bit here. I got the sponsors, and I'm like, well, your wife did. Your wife got the sponsor. It's good. It's good that had happened, but it feels like your wife is the one to be given the credit. And then they decided to sponsor your team. Definitely.

So Doug's out here being like, Larry did me dirty after I did all this work. And I'm like, well, your wife did a lot of that work. It feels like your wife did the most. So, okay. But then four, we swing back the other way. Four. And again, remember, Larry passed on drafting Doug in a round and then for somebody else. And then Doug got taken before Larry could come back around.

Yeah. Larry picked a dude that is brand new to the league and has never played for the league in Doug's projected draft spot because he thought this guy would do better. than Doug would. Unbelievable. So literally, it's a random guy. Took a flyer. Took a,

took a flyer on a complete guy from the KHL shows up. He shows up. Unbelievable. Literally a random guy in the league. Larry goes, this is where you take Doug. And then he goes,

I'm actually just going to draft the stranger because he is, I think there's a chance he's better than Doug. My brother, who's drafted me tirelessly for seven years running.

And then five, the absolute dagger. Yeah, this is where it's real bad for Larry. Larry still drafted their kid brother. So that means that they're identical twins. They have another brother in the league. Man, who I would guess, this isn't in the response,

who I would guess that Doug has also been drafting every time. I bet Doug drafts Larry and their kid brother every time. And Larry goes, Doug, get fucked, new guy. Also, I will take our brother. The betrayal of the twin connection on so many levels here is just out of control. Out of control. And Larry, we tried to give you the benefit of the doubt in a couple ways here, but I do, I think that you are Brutus.

This is so bad. This is a, this is a hard thing to come back from. There's one, Doug's wife, I'm not going to say your name again, Doug's wife, please continue a full season follow up. I need to know how these two teams are doing, how everyone's handling it. I need to know if a trade is made. I need to know if Larry, out of vengeance, is flourishing on his new team, if they're speaking. Yeah, this would be difficult.

Two, question for you. if the guy Larry drafted puts up significantly better numbers than Doug does on the other team. Justice for Larry or... Yes. Really? No, no, no, not justice, but Larry as a GM. Larry, the GM, credit to you, pal. Looks a little bit better.

If he's like, listen, I don't know what to tell you, I saw some talent here. Yep, I saw something. I saw something in the guy's eye. I could tell. He read the scouting report and he liked. Maybe Doug needed a kick in the ass, too. Just maybe. I don't know.

I'm just saying maybe Doug needs. needed. Maybe this is what, maybe this is exactly what Doug needed. Yeah. Oh, here's a question. Does Mrs. Doug pull the sponsorship? Wow. No, you can't, I can't harm the rest of the boys for Larry's betrayal. Yeah, but that's, actually, she's ride or die, though. She is a ride or die bitch. I bet she does and gives it to the new team. Does he the new team sponsored by the brewery? And now Doug's paying for his own, or sorry, Larry's paying for his own jerseys. Wow. Special. Big, big, I need to follow up. I need to follow up to the follow up. The problem is though I bet that they just already

have the jersey's in. I know, I know. We're fucked. Crazy stuff. Stay tuned. Yeah, we need updates Doug's wife. Yep. Now we've got a new purely caught line. Red, take it away. I'm on a bottom division team who plays on Friday nights. It's an iconic group of fellas. Team culture is we treat the post game like it's our Friday night out. We drink heavy together at the rink until early hours of the morning. Problem

is, this has led to several guys getting DUIs on the way home. We would all Uber every night, but that's so expensive. Any solutions for us would be much appreciated. Jeez. Jesus. Yikes. Yikes, boys. First and foremost, I am going to say this is 100% on you guys.

Yeah, it is. Listen, we will try to come up with solutions here. We will try to come up with answers. But I want to say, you are totally to blame. We can't be driving drunk. We can't be driving drunk. This is fucking crazy. We can't be driving.

drunk, but there are ways, because here's, can I tell you what I do love about these guys? Friday night, beer leagues, we have buddies that play on the Saturday night one. Friday and Saturday night, beer league sucks, because it's, that's your weekend night. Yeah. I'm stuck at the rink. The games are just as late. And you can kind of just have, and there's no like, oh, we'll go out after, because it's just like too late, you know. But so turning this into your night being like, we are hanging. Like, I'm partying at the rink all night. Sounds amazing. I actually fucking love, because you don't lose your weekend night. Because you're actually, those. Those are your boys probably, so you're having a hell of a time.

I really, really love that. I think I'm rattled because I'm just like, the lack, the pure lack of preparation here is so short-sighted. It's like they get to the end of the night and they're like, now what? Yeah, Red they go, here we go again. I'm like, boys. They won't have that many tonight. They can't believe they tied one on yet again. And I'm like, you do this every week, dude.

This every weekend this happens. How do you not prepare? Okay. We got to help them. What do you got? What do you got? Well, first. all, it sounds like the issue here

is money. They're like, we don't want to pay money. Yeah, but I'm like, do. Uber's expensive. But it's Friday night. You're saving so much money on buying beers at the bar. Like, you're drinking fucking canned light beer in a locker room or a parking lot for a fraction of the price. Put the rest of that

money into a fucking Uber. Yeah. And it's also, you're going to Beer League on a Friday night. How have you guys not figured out how to carpool? But then who's driving home? Dude, you Uber or or park at your buddy's place. Like, I imagine you guys live relatively close

if you're in the same town or city. That's an assumption, Dan. They're going to get a Dewey on the way from home. Uber to your friend's house. Yep. Which will cost not a lot of money, I imagine. Well, Lou, no, Uber's pricey. Listen to me, Dickhead.

You pick a friend who lives close. Like, you do this geographically and intelligently. Then get an Uber XL, get an Uber black. You can get at least three guys in there with your bags. And you split that Uber. That's not going to be that much. It's going to be $25 bucks tops each. And then we Uber black back to that central point.

At the end, because you Uber to the friend's house. At the end, you just Uber home with your back. So that's three Ubers a week. Three Ubers every beer league game. That's not a big deal. You're taking at least two Ubers if you're going out to the bars. This is one extra Uber. But I'm not going to the bars.

I'm going to hockey. I'm not Uber into hockey with my bag. But you can't think of it. You're going to just hockey. You're going to have a great night with your boys with comrades. Red, what do you got? You know what? Assuming these boys are married, have kids.

Yeah. We're thinking. We're thinking that. At least some of them. Yeah. Someone. Someone. Little Timmy's got soccer practice Saturday morning, 100%.

That's a fact. These boys, they're going until 3 a.m. They're going until 2 a.m., 3 a.m. The wee hours the night, as they say, just fucking keep going for a couple more hours and you just hit that carpool on the way home at 6 a.m. You get picked up by the wife. Bang. Dude, you get picked up by the wife. You get picked up by the wife. She's already out.

And then what? We go get the cars later in the day? Anytime. Or we... Oh, yeah. I was going to say, or we take the one Uber and now we're down from three, but we just sink the car. Sink them. We sink the car. What if there's... Okay, this is a very good idea. What if there's a situation where the rink doesn't let you park overnight? Then you Uber there and then you get picked up. One Uber versus three. I think... I love the pickup idea. The pickup idea. This is Skyhook. This is Skyhook from Dark Night.

Do you think... Just get intercepted by your wife? Do you think the pickup is worth the smoldering... glare that you get when you were buck probably yes probably yes dude because you need to compare it to the smoldering glare you're going to get from your wife when you get a DUI and you lose your license and you can't draw it you think Uber's expensive dude DUI's like 10 grand or something like you get hopped for that awful okay so yeah you sleep at the rink boys and she goes yeah pop that fucking seat into a recline and sleep it off

Timmy goes dad dad reeks again and you're like hey Timmy shut the fuck up you're lucky I'm here man yeah I genuinely just cannot get over how fucking insane this decision is to continue to be like, oh, fuck. I think they team buys a used school bus. Okay. And then you hire a guy to drive the whole boy. So then it's like a team bus.

Then now you're like, it's so fun. The ride in and out is so fun. Guy drops everyone off at their houses. Where are you parking this bus? This league is in like Western Canada. There's a place to park a park park. If that is true, then, okay, we're talking. in here. I think we hire a guy

to drive the bus once a week. How much would that possibly cost? Guys got a minimum wage, right? Yeah, I'm like, here you go, dude. You drive us around on Friday nights, and I'll stalk you full of beer, and then if you get a dooy, it's your dooy, it's not my doy. Let me tell you what. Let's say that this place

is in a rural area. Yeah. If you could figure out a way to get your hands on like an old shitty sprinter van, because it's not everyone, right? Yeah, you wouldn't even need it. Let's say it's 10 guys. You get your hands on an old shitty sprinter van that can fit 10 boys or an old bus.

Short bus. Short bus. Short bus. Short bus. And you fucking hired a dude. Like a task rabbit. And you go, we'll pay 150 bucks every Friday night if you just drive us to and from the room. It's probably like a two and a half hour commitment.

Yeah. For the guy. But he then has to fully go on a school. Hold on. He has to do a full school route style pickup to pick up. Yeah. pick up all the boys on the way to the game, though. That's the problem we forget it.

And drop them off. Oh, yeah. 100%. Oh, yeah. That would be incredible. Oh, it would be, dude, the vibes. You might never fucking lose again. All right, guys, here are your solutions.

Number one, the most simple and use your brain solution. Oh, Uber. Carpool with Uber and then Uber home. But the very crafty fun situation, get your hands on an old short bus and then hire a bum on the street to be your Friday night. Trapper. Pretty good. I'm just saying, dude.

Pretty good. There's a, this is solvable and everybody wins. Yeah. I love it. I love it too. Okay, let's get into a Bauer hockey blind ranking. This time, it's season opener. Days here.

We've done all our division previews. We've said who we think is going to finish first, second, third, and everything. This is the last chance to get this pick in before real hockey is actually being played when you listen to this Tuesday morning. This is our last chance to nail. teams that can win the cup this year. So thanks to our friends at Bauer. We'll bring us everything awesome in hockey. They are bringing us this blind ranking.

Red, five teams, blind ranking teams that can win the cup. We'll start with our new hometown team in the L.A. Kings. The L.A. Kings, whoa, like red, nice. Bang. Could. Do you want to be boring? I think they're a perfect three. You might be right.

If the L.A. Kings don't see the Oilers in the first. round they can make it to the second round. But what if they do? I think they're a perfect three. What if they do? We love their team. But we got Kopee. We got Kopey vibe.

Yeah, yeah. I think they're a perfect three. What about two? I just think there's a lot of teams. What about four? No, no, no, no, no. Maybe the three. Maybe they're three.

I think three. Three, three. Then we'll go to my hometown leaps. I think that the Leafs, I don't were, God, actually kind of interestingly similar playoffs for both those scenes. But I think the Leafs were fucking lasty, wasty last year. And I said that. And I want some fucking butts because I kept saying they could win the cup.

Everyone laughed to me. They losing the second round. They kept laughing. But I'm like, well, actually, they took the Panthers to game seven. And maybe if their goal doesn't get hurt, they win the cup last year. I will not go over the Kings. I'll go four. It's just correct.

Four. Dallas Stars. Oh, saucy. Good one. Two? Maybe one. There's as teams that I could have over them, but I'm not sure they're coming, and their stars are pretty even with them anyway. Yeah.

And the Otter's fucking pissed off. Stars also need to fucking nut up. They need to be tougher. They need to be tougher. They get bullied. I get nervous about going. Oh, no. Yeah, you said one.

I'm happy. If they are one, I'm like, okay. Okay. One. One. Dallas. One. One.

Fuck it. Wows. Who? Oh, Wow. I was like, what? Yeah, new teammates made up. I was like, what the fuck?

Wows. Let's go avalanche. Fuck, two. Yeah, too. And I probably might have had that at one. That's really tight though. It's right there. It's right there.

It's right there. But I'm pumped with that too. So wait, are we only going to have five left? Yeah, yeah. This is dangerous. So, Avs two. Well, who's five? Connerick David is.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Head. Oh, listen. No, because he just signed. He just signed. Oilers were going to be left off this list.

The Oilers are one. The Oilers are one. They're not one. They are. I think they're my favorite dude. But David, he does have fired the fuck up with stuff. McDavid took a syringe full of adrenaline. The adrenaline that Robert Pattinson's Batman sticks right into his heart and he shoved it up

the pee hole of every single person that had him. It was so sick. They are going to be buzzing. They are my one. They know. It's fucking go time. That was a phenomenal list one through four. Yeah.

And then it got absolutely fucked out. That's our episode today. Beautiful stuff. We are so back. Make sure to enjoy hockey tonight. We've got a lot of fun announcements coming this week, so please stay tuned. We predicted the Connor McDavid extension. So you need to be dialed in on Empty Netters all week long.
