The Stanley Cup Final, the final series, the final handshake line, the final chance to have your heartbroken. Or watch your team make history. For the next few weeks, nothing else matters. No work, no sleeve, tons of group chat meltdowns after every goal. It comes down to two teams, the Carolina Hurricanes chasing their first Stanley Cup in 20 years. And the Vegas Golden Knights, the young franchise going for their second cup in nine years. Two fan bases, two cities, one cup. And while the rest of the hockey world watches from home, we're hitting the road.

From opening puck drop to the moment the Stanley Cup has raised, every city, every game, every unforgettable moment. We'll be here. Outside the arenas, inside the arenas. With Hurricanes fans who have waited years for this run. And Golden Knights fans ready to turn Vegas into the center of the hockey universe once again. Nobody does the playoffs like hockey fans. Nobody travels like hockey fans, and nobody loses their minds quite like hockey fans. So whether you're chasing your first cup or adding another banner to the rappers,

we've got you covered. Miles on the road, voices nearly gone, probably a few terrible decisions along the road. Exactly how the Stanley Cup final should be. One trophy, one champion, one last push. The Stanley Cup final starts now. An empty netters is coming with. Look at Dan. Asleep.

Shit, I was asleep with the wheel. Welcome to Empty Netters Live. We're here in Raleigh. Brought to you by BetMGM. Recap in Game 5. There's blood in the water. And the canes can smell a cup. Can you believe it?

Dan, I sure can. I sure cane. How about that? I sure cane believe it. I sure cane. That was sick. You can believe it that one. That was sick.

I cannot wait to get the chat buzzing tonight. It's going to be great stuff. It was fun as hell here in Raleighwood, per usual. We came in hot from Vegas, woke up, got the wheels turning, ripped up Stanley Cup live. We had an unbelievable list of guests today. Yeah, we did. Patty's the fuck best. Patty is the absolute best.

Johnny Laz came on. Eric Cole came on. We were fucking buzzing. Yeah. We were buzzing today. We were. And honestly, this is the most buzzed. I don't even mean alcohol-wise.

I mean, I'm just buzzing after that game in the whole series. And we missed the, we missed the double O-T, which probably would have been a hoot, but in that crowd. I want to give them credit, but I am just, I am feeling it right now. Me too, man.

This has been the best Stanley Cup final ever. And even with that game, that was the most comfortable win of the series. It was still only a two-goal game. I love that Vegas gave a little fight at the end there. They got one more, and they made it a little bit closer. A little bit sweaty for Carolina, but I'll tell you what.

Carolina came out hot. Nick Eilers with a fucking monster game. Oh, yeah. Three apples just looking so good. Pickup of the year. I fucking called it from the jump. Yeah. Yes.

No doubt about it. We are going to get to that. A couple shoutouts to start. Okay. Festivities. Let's do shoutouts. Zach. Blue moon guy.

Blue moon guy. I tell you, come in. You're my boy, Blue. Cool cooler of Blue moons for us was one of the cool. those things I've ever seen anybody do. This guy, he brought us a cooler on ice with blue moons to finish up, stay on the cup live because it's 120 degrees outside and I'm leaking all over the point. And to be clear, this homie gave the boys Blue Moons earlier.

I think it was game two. So he came back with Blue Moons, but this time in a cooler with ice packs in it, it was a fucking 100 degrees out there today. So that was some of the most glue guy shit you will ever see. Do you remember his name's Ack or no? And didn't he say something else? He's blue, dude. It's my boy Blue.

It's our blood blue. His daughter pronounces Shvestakov. Very well. Oh, amazing. She was like, Oh, yeah, his daughter's play, and he's getting into hockey. Yes.

Oh, yeah, he's getting into hockey is 40 years old, and he is getting into hockey because of the Mpton Netters podcast. Pretty sick. That's actually pretty sick. Pretty sick. He was like,

I started watching your show, loved the Beer League hotline stuff, loved all the beer league talk and the camaraderie stuff about playing hockey. He's learned to play hockey. He's learned to play hockey. He's bought gear. He's got his daughters into the game.

They're playing for the junior can. This guy is the fucking man. He is the man and that really fired me. It was special, dude. Go? No. Next shout out, you had a great text. You sent us a text and you said, we have to talk about this on the show tonight.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me get that. Let me get that. Because this is important. I don't know who mixed martial arts is, but they really want us to talk nix. Listen, we're going to be getting dialed for games. five, I think it is. Okay.

Game five. Oh, is that him? Nice. Jackson, get that up. There he is. All right, I'm going to give a shout out. Our awesome fan, Fiona. Okay. Fiona, legendary fan, sent us an amazing message, and we're going to give a shout out to her sister, Bella. Had a very unexpected brain surgery, which is crazy. It was yesterday. She's in recovery mode now.

They're both fans of the show. They are amazing. and Fiona and Bella, that is, I mean, we always talk about the Stanley Cup final. Everyone's grinding. Everyone's battling through injury. And the fact that Bella, during the Stanley Cup final,

had a brain surgery, and she's already in recovery mode. Fiona's already thinking to get a shoutout on the show. That is just legendary battling right there. It made me so happy because she even said, I'm sorry, I'm sure you get a million messages like this. I hope I get a trillion messages like this, because it makes me so happy

and I'm so grateful that anything we do bring you joy. Agree. We are behind you 1 billion percent in this journey. One billion percent and Fiona, hopefully when you see this, we'll make sure that this message gets to Bella whenever the recovery is fully up and running and she can be listening to the show again. Make sure we get this clip to her. But both of you, Fiona and Bella, we're going to send you all the new Netters merch that's dropping.

So make sure you send us a message. again, get your address to us because we want to get you some great new stuff. And Bella, as you recover, we're going to be pumping out all the great content for you to listen to while you're recovering, getting everything back on track. We love you, sending you all the strength in the world. That is no joke, man. Unexpected brain surgery. And now it looks like the canes are going to get a cup for Bell.

Dude, okay. I mean, that was incredible. No jinxes. Yep. Got a bite still. No jinxes. Okay, another emotional shoutout. And then we'll go to high energy shoutouts.

Another emotional shoutout. And I think she's got to be here. But shout out Kelly. She's been giving us a to-do list before every game. Yeah, if you watched the, you know, we posted a tailgate video, all the amazing stuff going on at Lenovo. This unbelievable fan, Kelly, we love you, gave us all of these to-do lists and then gave us one today that just rocked myself. Nearly made me cry. It was unbelievable.

Kelly talked to us about having two sons, loving seeing us as brothers. doing this show together having fun and it makes her think of her sons that's amazing and it was just all about like she said say thank you to our mom for raising us the way she did and Kelly we said it to you in the moment there's no doubt

in the world that you are the greatest mother ever based on the way you treat everybody the way you treated us and this amazing message and then also gave us these awesome bracelets for epilepsy awareness mine says go canes same so does yours amazing and that's just an awesome thing

We've got one of our best friends has epilepsy. Kelly has epilepsy. And it's a great thing to raise awareness for and spread the love for. But Kelly, you're just like the showering of love and fun you have given us every time we have seen you. It's just amazing. She said keep spreading joy. Easiest thing on earth to do when we're meeting people like her. But man, when you meet people like Kelly, when you get to do this job, it is the easiest thing in the world to spread joy.

So you bet we're going to keep doing that every single day as long as we can. and it's in huge part because of people like you. We love you, Kelly. Hope you're in the chat. Hope you are in the chat. Shout out the Bama Boys. We've talked about them with Mark. Yes.

They've done 18 of the 32 ranks. They're making their world tour, but they do one Stanley Cup final game every year. They chose this game this year. What a doozy. And we caught up with them. They're legends. And they told me a crazy story,

told us a crazy story that I didn't know took place. And I think this is awesome. But they came in here playing golf at Chapel Hill. and then they said, we're going to go get tickets. And they go on Ticketmaster, get two lower bowl tickets, and then Ticketmaster wouldn't sell the tickets to them because they didn't have a North Carolina, South Carolina, or Virginia address.

They said these tickets are for locals only. Love it. Not allowed. Absolutely. Have you ever heard of that before? I've heard about it in European football. Yeah, fair. I have not heard of it here, but apparently one of them was like,

everyone does that. And I was like, I did not know that. Me neither. I also am not sure that's true. But it makes sense. sense and it's fucking sick. Well, it is extremely sick because I want those tickets to be for locals, but I also think there should be a way to prove you're rooting for the Keynes.

Yes. Which they are. They were decked out in Keynes gear. And they were saying, dude, we're from Bama. I get that you don't want to sell one to someone with a Vegas address. But the address is Bama. Like, let me have that. Correct.

Which I actually, I'm on their side on that. The bubble should have been a little bit bigger. I agree. So that was all time. But they, you know, seat geek, seat geek, tick, pick. You'll find your way in. And then, okay, my final shout out. And this is a partial shout-out to me.

But the, I've got to shout out this guy, Larry. I wish I could remember his last name. This guy, Larry, he was, he, I went to, Dan, did you know I went to Duke? Yeah. So here's the thing, I went to Duke. And I used to spend a lot of time in Raleigh. Chris. Zach, yeah.

I know, this is breaking news on the pot. You went to Duke? I did, dude. Dude. Isn't that crazy? What? He's so excited to be back in North Carolina. We actually, we haven't heard about it yet.

We haven't heard about it. Just know that this man is pushing forward and he still uses his, do cocky backpack. You damn right, dude. And also, that thing is a piece of shit. Oh, it wasn't. It's cool. It's cool. It was. No, it's cool. But he uses it as like a check bag. It's the most inconveniently shaped bag of all time. The two handles don't even reach each other when you pack it full. Well, it's, it is exactly per airport regulation carry-on size, which is amazing. And it's usually a carry-on. I'm checking the bag anyway, because I'm checking the big bag. It's an awesome bag, but it's not a good bag. The entire school had it. Our entire school uses it.

I mean, our entire team. I know. Kelly's in the chat. Whole school. Thank you. I love you. Yes, Kelly. I love you.

So, yeah, you used it 25 years ago. So I didn't get to go to campus during Games 1 and 2. And today I was like, I got to go. So I go to Duke campus. And I got to tell you, it was, it was lovely. I haven't been back. It was really fun. Not much has changed in a good way.

And I really was, a lot of members coming back. It was awesome. So then we get into the Duke Chapel. And people in Carol. People in Carolina are going to be pissed at Dan for ignoring this. I'm not ignoring. Very important. No, it's a bedtime store.

You go into the Duke Chapel and I meet this guy Larry. Actually, I do want to hear about Larry. And he's the man. And he's like, he jumps up and he's like, please make yourself at home. You know, if you have any questions, let me know. And I'm like, oh. Was he like a minister? No, he was just an older gentleman who's retired.

And he says he just does this in his spare time. Oh, I thought, sorry. I thought for a second we were saying Larry was just a random dude who was in the chapel. He was like, make yourself at home. No, that would be gas. That actually would have been sick. That would have been sick. So he comes out to me and I'm like, oh, Larry, I, you know, I had my graduate, because they kind of rotate graduations, but mine was in there.

So I was like, I had my graduation. Oh, that's sick. Just at first, happy to be back. So then we really start chopping it up because we're just talking about how great the place is. And he says, what brings you back? And I told him about this and that it was Stanley Cup blind. And he goes, dude. Chris goes, let me tell you, dude.

I used to go here. Yeah. Larry, I went to Duke. I once upon a time. You wouldn't believe it, Larry. But I'm an alum. Larry shows me someone that came into the Duke Chapel today

and they had made a build a bear teddy bear literally like a little teddy bear that was decked out in Keynes Jersey and love this like where this is going and they used the Keynes Buildabair to light the candles in the chapel. Love this. So the Keynes Buildabair lit the Duke Chapel candles and then was like lighting prayer sticks for the Keynes

and he's like, that happened today. And I was like, dude, then something might be going on. And this is why it's a 90% Larry shoutout, 10% me. It occurred to me that I was like, man, when I was going here, well, I've always loved the song, because still when I used to play it all the time. But it was kind of my good luck song. I would listen to it if we had tests or whatever. Wagon wheel was.

Yeah, yeah. Every time of the exam, that was the song I'd listen to right before I walked into the exam. And then we sung it with the boys. And then it's the Keynes. I think it's there been there win song all year. But like, yeah. It is so funny how clearly they obviously play Wagon Wheel at the end of every game. But we sang Wagon Wheel with the good old Canadian boys.

And then when it came on after the game to win, we were like, we did this. We did this. And they were like this song says North Carolina. Says Rawley. It says we're coming to Rawlick. What are you idiots talking about? But I'm like, nah, it's us. No, dude.

But I was just thinking, Dan, I was like, man, me going to Duke where I used to sing Wagon Wheel all the time, when it's the Keynes Wing song, going into the chapel with a Cain's buildbear lighting the prayer candles. I was like, I think I really launched this win into the stratosphere by choosing today to go back to Duke. So huge shout out, Larry. If I can find you, I'm going to track you down and say what's up again, but also 10% shout out me. I do want to do one more quick shout out. Hell yeah. Shout out Derek, our Uber driver last night.

Bro. And shout out. And shout out Stan, my Uber driver today who brought my headphones back. Yeah. Whoa. Legend. This guy brought Chris his headphones in the Uber. The guy brought it back and put one of the trash bins on our front stoop.

and the headphones under the trash bin. That's fucking Southern hospitality, Zach. That right there is why you come down to the south. You know what? How about a little cookout tray? I can't wait, bro. We got to finish this pot in time. A little tarps off.

How about a little Cains win? What did you say before? When you were doing that, you had a couple good ones earlier. Double cookout tray. How about a little headneck hockey? How about a little trailer park fucking sticking puck? Give me a little. A lot of win!

Win, baby, win! I had porkskins today, dude. I had the skin of a pig today. With pimento cheese on it, dude. Well, shout out Derek. Derek was the man. Had a great chat with us about sports. He wants to start a sports network for UNC, and I want him to do it.

I think he messaged us. I think he said he was going to come by. I don't know if he came. But... Dude, I, this is a compliment that I'm about to give North Carolina, that I had to check myself before I really wrecked myself. Yes. I have taken a couple long Ubers during our stays here where I have intended to use that time to do work. I'm like, amazing. I'm going to get in this Uber and then crank out 30 minutes of this task. I need to.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I get in the Uber and every single person is like this, how's your day going? How are you? Let's have a 30 minute conversation. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. No, but it's amazing. And I had to like, buy the second drive. I was like, you know what, dude? I'm in the South. There will be no work in Ubers. I will be learning the names of this drug. Everyone. Grandchildren. So I do that. Everywhere in the world. Every single Uber driver in the world, I will sit there and have a conversation because it's just a part of it. I am literally Ted Lassow. There's an episode where Sassy is asking him, she's like, you have your five Uber rating, aren't you?

And Ted's like, he's like, yeah, and she's like, how? And he's like, I don't know. I'm polite. Say thank you. Sometimes offered to drive if they look tired. That is me. I have a five-star Uber rating. And it's because I'm always like, tell me about your entire life.

But, dude, we just got to start connected more. Yeah. Talking to people more. Absolutely correct. Okay. Shoutouts, those shoutouts for it. Those are my shoutouts. You want to cut to a quick ad break and then so we can just fucking rip this game?

Yeah, that's great. That's great. Talk to me about BetMGM. This is a BetMGM and Zach's going to get it up and it's going to ease it up there. And then I think we got it and listen to me loud and clear all playoffs long. And sadly, very sadly, we are nearing the end of this NHL season. We are nearing the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs. But for the one or two more games left,

maybe one, but maybe two. Bet MGM takes every single shot, every single save, every single sudden death thriller, which, man, I feel like we might even get another one, and they make it an even bigger win with the Stanley Cup playoff, odds boost token. Here's how you get in on that fun. You make a bet.

You go on to bet MGM and make a bet on the NHL. You can bet on anything you want, or chasing up in the other's dance, post, and parleyes. You can take any time goals scores, any points, saves, whatever you want, and then you just activate the token. You put the bet in your slip, and you activate the Stanley Cup playhouse, odds boost token. If your bet hits, Bing, you're a genius,

and you get a bigger payout. If you were not skating with the BetMGM crew yet, now is the time to jump in. Use that bonus code netters. That's N-E-T-T-E-R-S when you sign up and you will get a welcome offer and then you will get to hit the odds boost and then you can maybe even get one more hat-trick jackpot

because Bet-M-GM-GM always makes it legendary. Dan, Zach, I sent you a couple of pictures into the thread. Can you slowly bring those up? Because I have an investigation that I would like to discuss with you. Okay, while you do that, how awesome was it that Erling Holland was at the game? Dude, that was numb. That was fucking incredible. It was the Norwegian team.

I'm so mad that he didn't come on Stanley Cup Live. He didn't get there. If we had known that, I would have been. If Erling Holland had come on Stanley Cup Live, I would have come on Stanley Cup Live. Dude, what's crazy is the, the, I would have. My, dude, my Uber driver, Stan, who's now my dog, because he brought my headphones back and everything. I was talking with him, and he said he's a huge Arsenal fan, so he got he won the Prem. He's a huge Knicks fan, so I think he's going to win the chip.

Shout out mixed martial artist. We talked about the Knicks. And then he said, but I actually despise my roommate, who is a Keynes fan, so I really want Vegas to win. And I was like, oh, wow, what a turn that took me. Yeah, that was crazy. But then he was like, I really didn't want, Man City was like the bane of my existence. And I was like, yeah, but they didn't actually catch Arsenal. You won.

But then I realized Holland came to this game. Could you imagine a bad guy? I guess. Wow. So I was like, oh, he, that Man City is the bane of your existence. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Holland came for you. What, you went to sleep. That's tough. You went to sleep and you thought you escaped Man City, but you did not. That's tough. Okay, so look at this, Dan, and Zach will be able to get this up. This is an investigation for you, because I know you love this stuff. Okay. Okay, so this is a picture of Mark Stone. I love getting surprised. This is a picture of Mark Stone in, um, an on-away game. This is one of the away games that he scored. And you know how they do the patch now. So it's kind of clunky. It's really bad. Okay. That is an away game picture of Mark Stone.

This, Dan, is a home game picture of Mark Stone. Same deal. Yes. You got it. And then this is a way game picture of Jordan Stahl. Yeah. And they go opposite. And here is a home game picture of Jordan Stahl where it is the same.

It's a, they move their C. Yeah, because it's a different logo. They're using their alternate blacks and the stick comes. It's like the hurricane flags. It's like the Detroit Red Wings. And is there red this one, the sea on the left? Yes. Okay.

Because I have been blusing my mom. Yeah, no, it's the logo interference. It's just like the Red Wings. Okay. Log interference. Because this was an investigation. I was trying to figure out which seaside stall is playing better on, but it turns out it does not matter.

It does not matter. Doesn't matter. What Jordan Stahl does, nothing matters. It is absolutely incredible because there's a very real chance that he's. wins cons smith. It's, what's crazy is someone posted the odds of Jordan Stahl, con smith yesterday. And it was like plus like 350 or something like that. Probably not going to happen. Yeah. And then after this game, statistically, listen, before we get, we've been stroking off the canes so far this episode. Yeah. Any Vegas fans in the chat, this ain't over.

John Tortorella already went into the presser after suering last. That was so funny. If people haven't seen that. Where did he post that? He posted it on IG. It's all over Twitter. Chris Johnson's posting it. Other people are posting it. Lazz asked did you ever consider putting it Aiden Hill? Torch just interrupts him. He's like, Jesus Christ, that might be the stupidest

question I've ever heard. And what's so awesome about Lazz is Lazz immediately post that and Owens it. And he's like, yep. Badge of honor, dude. Badge of honor. And what's funny is Torts then said he's leaving his clothes here. He's leaving his clothes here and they're going to be in his hotel room when he gets back.

So he's, that is some confidence. I can't believe they keep the hotel room for an extra week. Garen, I get a different hotel. It's going to be an expensive build. You might as well move in. But he's basically guaranteeing a game set. Okay, yeah, I think Zach's got the pictures up. So yeah, here's the pick of Jordan Stahl.

And yeah, you can see the blade of the stick and the logo with the hurricane flags. Same side is the patch. Yeah. See and Patch are together. Yeah. So there's home stall. Yeah. What's so funny is that cup patch is like in the center of the Jersey.

It's saying so. It's such bad place. So then there's a way stall. Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah. Here's a way stall. Boom. Other side.

Yeah. Again, there's no mystery here. It's because of the logo. Yeah, it's logo and a fan. But I know, but the people in the chat are just seeing this for the first time. Yeah, yeah, chat. Sorry. There's the, there's the photos.

And then boom. There's away stone, same side. Yep. Why, that's not up yet. Oh, oh, yeah. There's a way stone. Same side. So traditionally, stage left.

Bang. Homestone. Viewer right. is where the sea goes. But you'll see it if you, you know, wings fans know that the tip of the wing gets up there, so you can't put the sea there. So, Dan, let me tell you,

talking about torts real quick. Yeah. Amazing comment. I really loved that comment. That's exactly what you've got to say. I have an announcement to make on the M.GNAIRs podcast at 1258 a.m.

Eastern Standard Time Friday, June 12th. Do it. Oh. Now make it. Bang. I have an announcement to make 1258 a. Friday, June 12, Eastern Standard Time. The Stanley Cup is over.

Listen. Just so you know. We're jumping into this game. We took a Jack Eichael point. We took a Vegas first goal. Or excuse me. Carolina first goal. Yep.

And we took the over. Vegas did jump on a first with a disgusting power play goal. It was just the zone entry from Jack and the slide pass over to Dorofiev, who fucking hammer fucked that. Dude, it went in so hard the rink didn't know what happened. I was like, yeah, Zach and Chris looked at me and they go, what a save. And I go, they're celebrating. They scored.

Oh, shit, dude. They're idiots. Yeah, we're all, we're dummies. Vegas got the first goal, but then Carolina responds quick, and it was Carolina from then on. And listen, if you remember, if you all go to the, to the Instagram page, you will see a clip posted yesterday that was like, does Carolina have the momentum? now. And I went on that little rant in the show after game four where I was like, it felt like in that game, Carolina has figured something out. It feels like they've gotten to Vegas in an interesting way and they might have a little bit of MoMo here. And we go into this game and the

momo was everywhere. And funny enough, I actually think Vegas played kind of well. I mean, this is the most even shots we've really seen in a while, 25 to 23, I think at the end of it. Vegas does get two goals but Carolina man great second period two games in a row two games in a row I actually don't think Vegas was

I didn't think Vegas was quite as good as you I'll get to that later No no they weren't great It was their best first period of the whole season And they weren't that sloppy Yep that was a big thing Like they weren't that slop

Carolina was just really so They were fucking smothering smothering them on the forecheck smothering them in the neutral zone That was a very good game by Carolina And funny enough, I've been absolutely spitshining the guy. Double Rister, my boy, Nick Eelers, I thought he was disgusting. This is when you know people are viving.

I don't know if you saw his presser. Someone was like, Nick, three assists, great game, beautiful, beautiful assists on that final power play Goldisfatchnikov. And he was like, yeah, I think that was my worst game of the series by far. And he was like, I'm not excited to talk to my dad, which is awesome. That is incredible. Heelers is going to be like this, you fucking rat pig. That is incredible.

You piece of shit. You look. like fucking garbage out there. So, I kind of want to save some of this for later. But, dude, Eelers, great pass on the stall, like you said, and just like Stahl again, dude, it's just so amazing. It's so amazing. I don't know what this is.

Four other players in the history of the NHL have scored in each of the first five games of the Stanley Cup final. And 37-year-old, not goal scorer, Jordan Stahl, is now one of them. Yeah, like, insane. And that's what we're talking about. his con smythe odds were crazy. It was like, yeah, I mean, cool bet, but he's not going to win it. And now, statistically, the team who wins game five, when tied 2-2 wins the Stanley Cup

78% or something of the tie. Yeah, it might even be higher. Can we give a shout up a quick? I know you said it a little earlier, but add AJ J.J. J.R., 1183, Jordan Stahl is the first player since 1956 to score in all five games of the Stanley Cup final. That's awesome. So like,

dude, he's going to wait, is that fucking, so we were just talking about it's the four other players ever,

the last time was in the 50s. So it wasn't even Wayno or Mario. Because dude, there was like five players in the league. So if anyone

scored, he's like, I scored all the goals. Yes. Yeah. And he's going to score in game six. So,

he's going to score in game six. And this is what I'm saying, man. I don't even know. 74% they're saying. I overshot it. I was too horned up. I'm sorry.

I was too horned up. are saying it could go a heck of a lot higher than that. But in fact, it's actually low. Yeah, yeah, correct. Can you get me the Cain's stats for these playoffs? Because I'm sitting here going, if they take care of business in game six and win the cup, I think Stahl is the favorite on this team.

It's not Freddie. I know you said you wanted to be Bussie because that's our boy. But listen. Bussie came in and completely changed the game. We're going to have it. We're going to bus. We're going to bust all over this. I'm going to bust.

We're going to bust all over this episode. And listen to me. I know, I know that this is a full, this is a full, we're bussing, we're bussing, dude. We're about to be bussing. I know this is a full playoff award, right? It's a full playoff award, but I'm dead ass. And it should be stall, like here's, this is probably one game short, because hockey reference is always a little behind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is what you're looking at. And keep in mind, these guys are well behind Marner and Jack a little bit. The, I'm dead ass, dude, bussy coming in and winning a Stanley Cup, like going like this. We were about

to lose and now I will win. I will play three games and just win in a row, by the way. I legitimately think it would be so badass if the NHL was like this. The Khan Smythe, the most important person that won the cup is Brandon Bussy. Yeah. So I think this is up to date. Would that not be an incredible movie by the way? Are we hitting movie status? Dude, three. But Bussie. Well, dude, so hold on. Here's my deal. Blakey is leading the team. I think this is up to date. that will be yeah. Blakey is leading the team with 18 points. Tied with Taylor Hall,

which would be a fucking story. And right after that with 17, my boy Nick, and fifth on the team, tied for fifth on the team, is Jordan Stahl with 12. Yeah. So only six points less. And I just think with everything he does defensively, given that none of the,

I mean, listen, if Blakey or Halsey have a, or Nick, have a monster game, What did they wrap up the Montreal series? Was that 4-0?4-1? Someone in the chat. What was the score of game fine? Yeah, I want to play 4. But if Carolina steps on the fucking throat in Vegas in game 6

and one of those three boys has a monster game, three points or more, then I do think you'd probably go them. But if Jordan Stahl has even a point in that game and these guys only have like one, again, because of what he does defensively to other teams' top lines, and oh, who does that too? But, like, I just think the story. Yeah.

Do it for the story. Yeah, there was a long... Wanna be stall. Dude, so I agree. I completely think it's Jordan Stahl's to lose. I don't even think barring a monster game. Those guys can take it from him at this point because of the story. Someone here, I'm just saying, that's what I think.

If Blakey has a hat trick, it's it. That's a monster game, I would say, though. So, oh, sorry. My mistake. I thought you were saying even with a monster games. Yeah, barring a monster game. Someone here said, Marner, actually, and I was on this a couple games ago, I was like, Marner's going to win.

It was six one. Fuck me. I was like, Marner's going to win it either way. Like if Vegas loses and everything, I'd give it to Marlard. But I think 29 points. Yes what I'm saying. But I think even that's off. And I stand by. I stand by.

Bussy should get it because no one has gone nuclear enough on Carolina. Like if Mitch Marner, exact production was on Carolina, I'd be like, yes, obviously is that guy. But I stand by, they should go branded Bussie. Listen, I respect you. That's wrong. Yeah, but I do respect. I do respect you.

That is wrong because he was. We'll have played three games. Yep. But let's start busing all. But Zach's right, it should be a documentary. He's literally going to come in and go, I played third period overtime and then three games. And I literally changed the course of the NHL season. Yeah.

And here's my jam. I know Netters fans in the chat right now and in general are going to have our back on this. I don't think anyone in hockey has been on Bussie harder than you and I. Correct, dude. We've been talking about Bussie for years. Oh, my God. You know, OG fans know when he got picked up by Florida, we were busing all over the place. Then he went to Carolina and that might have been exactly what they needed. And we said that.

And then he won over 30 games this year in the regular season. And also, people will remember, while we've been supporting the canes and boosting them up, gassing your tires, all playoffs, we at the beginning of playoffs, we're like, you should start Bussy. Bussy is the guy you should go to. He did not believe. And all the fucking love and respect in the world to Freddie Anderson. The guy fucking went, uh, quick math here, 13 and 1 through three rounds. Like that, sorry, that doesn't make sense. He went 12 and 1 through, uh, in 13 games through three rounds.

That's unbelievable. And then he comes in here, might have a concussion, some sort of injury, needed a rest. That's all we know. Yep. But this man is like such a part of the story. of this Carolina team is those guys did it together. Yes. They did it together all fucking season.

And I'm actually really sad for Freddie in this moment as that rink is just chanting Bussy. But I legitimately hope he's hurt. And what I mean by that is I hope he can't play. It's not like a, I will tell you this. I will tell you this. If this Carolina team wins the Stanley Cup,

Jordan Stahl is handing that cup to Frederick Henry. Yeah, yeah, right. Like that is the second guy that you, if you can find that on Cali, she. Sorry. Bet on jam. Live TV. If you can find that on a book,

who does the cup, because that will be on a book. Yeah, yeah. Who is the cup getting past you if Carolina wins? It will go from Jordan Saul to Frederick Anderson. I fucking guarantee it. I like that. I like that a lot. I like that a lot. But yeah, and I was going to say he feel he's, his name going on this cup is extremely worthy. Yeah. Extremely, extremely worthy. So Keynes could not stop taking delay of games,

but I want to talk some special teams here really quickly. Vegas obviously got the Power Play goal, which I thought was going to be a big deal. It was not. The Kane's Penalty Kill, which was terrible. Actually, no, the Canes Penalty Kill was awesome. But the Kane's power play was terrible coming into this series has been amazing.

Was bad through a couple games. And the Vegas PK had been incredible. So it was like, it felt like a recipe for disaster. Incredible PK, awful power play. completely has flipped. That was so good. And I give so much credit to that barn because when you, when that barn gets a kill, they bus so loud. The Kane's team get better in the next few minutes. So that was huge. I actually was thinking this during the game. This is such a loser mentality by me, but I always hate it as a player when my team got a bunch of power plays in a row

because it felt like, okay, well, that's obviously going to come an avalanche back at me later in this game. So if we don't score on all these, we're fucked. And as Vegas was racking up those power plays early. I was like, you know you're going to pay for this. You better score here. When they didn't, then they did pay for it on back-to-back penalties. Honestly, to be fair, both of which I thought were soft calls. Yeah, which ones were those? The first one was someone shot it in on Carter Hart. He gloved it, but it was like a rolling, it was like a short stop play. And someone was just taking Luzon wide and he just like tipped them over. Yeah, he like held them up a little. Would they call that a hook? I don't even know. Yeah, I didn't love that one. And then the McNab cross-check

as they killed that penalty. When, when, when, when how did it? and got cross-checked into the board. That was brutal. 12 seconds before that. But shout out Jane. Yeah. Shout out of Jane. Blakey did get buried.

But yeah, Howden got buried in the exact same way. I was like, it was the same way. And it was just like, ooh, that kind of sucks. But we cannot be cross-checking our boy Blake. Cannot be. Cannot be cross-checking Blakey, dude.

But I was like, dude, that was tough. And then bang. Like, that's how it goes. Yep. They score. And now you're in trouble. Yep. Great fetch goal.

And then, yeah, in the second period. Go straight in. Did you ever check? I believe it did. If that went straight at Carter Hart, and we have a lot to say about Carter Hart, but that was one of the first ones where I was like, oh, that's a bad goal. Like that, you have to. Yeah, I mean, listen, I completely agree.

I think it went through some traffic, but at the end of the day, didn't get tipped. It's fetch's goal. And that went straight through five hole. You could see by Hart's reaction, he was like, fuck me. Yeah, you can't let that in. And then there was a big boost from there, dude. Yes, Dan. The emotion on Svetch's face after that goal.

And then with a little over two. minutes left in the period. There's a great flurry. There was a great from behind the net, behind the line, beautiful pass out front that got right under someone's stick. And everyone in Carolina was like, oh, God, what a chance. But then regathered at the top and Aho was calling for it immediately. Stick clapping, saw the lane, saw the opening in the net, pass comes over, and no hesitation whatsoever, angles off the skates, gets it to his blade, roof titty job. Oh, dude. And his celebration, the fucking one leg, one arm up, screaming, mouthguard hanging out. Yep, yep.

That moment for me, I was like, similar to game four when I started talking about this momentum, something changing for Carolina. We said when Stahl got that goal in game four, every other game here, we've been like, this lead is not safe. Yeah. That game, we were like, I actually think this is safe. You and I were looking at each other with like seven minutes left in game four. and we're like, I don't think they're time.

Like, this is over. Carolina has won this game. That goal went in, and I know everyone was like a two-goal lead going into the third. Who cares? In this series, who cares? The momentum from four that we felt like was happening was very much alive in this one. Ajo scored, and I was like, book it. Yeah.

Game over. Not series over, but book it. I wrote Vegas is done. I was like place erupts. And that I give, that was the Ajo, not like the best goal he's ever scored. I mean, but I wrote the goal of his life because of the monkey on the back, that moment, two-goal lead, swing game. It was like, that was, that might be one of my favorite moments of the whole series, just because

I was so happy for him. Yeah. Because I know, you mean, you saw it in his fist bump, but I was like, holy shit. Yeah. That was one of the, that might be the loudest, at least for me, that rink got, except for the Eler's opening goal of the series when it exploded. Yes. God.

But at Ajo goal, I was like, holy shit, dude. Yeah. That was awesome. and just an incredibly cool moment. So I'm going to stop here and say, I want to say something that I was hinting at earlier about a prediction I made about how I thought this game could go. And I had said, if Vegas comes out,

because remember I said to you in game two, before game two, I go, this has to be Carolina is one of their best punches because you cannot lose two at home. And I was actually rattled that they came out and hadn't scored for 50 minutes. And that was the first time I was worried about the cancer. I was like, oh, dude, this had to be everything.

You cannot lose this. And then I said to you before this game, and I said on the Only Cup Live, this is the first time this has to be Vegas's best punch. You have to come out this game after the egg you laid in game four and go, we're going to win this game. And because we feel like we've been in the better team

in every game except for four, now we go and prove it. Sure. At this point in this game, I was like, oh, you're cooked. Because this is your best punch. Like, this is the best punch. You have 13 shots after two periods

and you're getting dummy 3-1, this is a nightmare. And also, my prediction was I thought if Vegas came out and ran Carolina tonight, I was going to say, this is probably over because we go back home and Vegas is now rolling. Sure. If Vegas loses tonight, but they lose 5-4 and Vegas has 35 shots and they're lighting up Bussy and they're fine, I didn't think it was going to be over yet because they were going to go, we can win at home. But if they came out and got completely smothered by the canes again and lost, I was like, you are in big trouble.

And then that is exactly what happened. Yeah, there's two factors here for me. We talked about a lot. After game four, you have patterns. Yes. These aren't one-off bad games. This is now a pattern. It is a theme in this series.

And what we have now seen through five, as it has been, as the pattern we believe we identified after game four, it was proven again tonight. The lack of shots, the speed differential. this is a result of Carolina's play frustrating Vegas. Yeah, Dan. This is not, as we kept talking about, Vegas hasn't really played their best game yet.

This is a, because of Carolina. And Carolina came out, shot out of a fucking canon. Vegas did get that first goal, but again, power play goal. They respond immediately, then get the lead. And you're like, okay, Carolina has figured.

What we thought they have figured out, they have figured out. Yeah. Brandon or excuse me Wild Bill Carlson going out is a fucking absolute dagger shout out Merles game notes jinklets

our boy can't wait to fucking see you pal God he calls him the straw that stirs the drink yep and Vegas fans hopefully there are a bunch in the chat will agree he is I looked at Chris today and I said Wild Bill Carlson might be a top five underrated player in the NHL Zach can you see

See if you can get that tweet I sent you in the thread up here. It's a video. He is a guy. This is a guy that is going to go under the radar at all times. But he's also a guy that plays unbelievable 200 foot hockey. He's a guy that can score 40 goals. He kills penalties. He's a dynamic player for this team. And we saw when he came back in the lineup, look where they are. They're in the Stanley Cup. That's in huge part to Wild Bill. He leaves in the second period after a tough hit, doesn't return, got taken to the hospital for further medical. attention. We don't know what that is. Don't know if it's a concussion, shoulder, whatever, but we do know the torts has said he's unlikely to play again in this series. I'm reading that as he is sure

a shit. Yeah. Not playing in game six. Maybe by a miracle if they force a game seven, he can fucking duct tape it and suit up. But I would bet all your cookies, Carlson is out. That is catastrophic for Vegas. Now, on top of that, Blake's saying broken wrist. I don't know if I don't know where, I don't know where I don't know where that's coming from. Okay. Someone in the chat, if that's been confirmed, sorry, we're not on the bird. We're doing this show. On top of all that and what Carolina has figured out what they're doing to this team, Carterhart is the first goalie in the history of the NHL to give up four or more goals every single game through five games of a Stanley Cup final.

Vegas is going, we cannot win unless we score five, which is a daunting task in a playoff game. Correct. that's your guy. You're not starting anyone else. As I said and predicted, and I almost feel like, I mean, listen, if he gets rung up in game six,

the white flag is being weighed that you have lost. Torts is not yanking him, especially after what he said there. Yep. But it is a, you know, it's tough for Vegas that you,

you know, you kind of thought you had an answer in net. As we knew with Hills injuries, we were like, what does Vegas do in that? Yeah. And they thought to three rounds they had, Easy, Dan.

But, dude, like, this is, this is what happens. And this is, you know, it's been really funny. A big narrative going into this final was people going, yeah, you don't need to pay a goalie, huge money doing the Stanley Cup. And that has, we've seen examples of that. Darcy Kemper didn't have that big of a pay, uh, uh, cap hit when he won in Colorado. Then we've seen the other side with Vassi and Bob. And we came into this final and we looked at that amazing status like the combined money. Yeah.

I think it was the both conference finals, right? Because it was like the combined money of Wedgwood, Hart, and then Freddie and Dobesh was like under $4 million or something. But we laughed because one of these teams is going to win the Stanley Cup. We laughed through four games. It was like, well, yeah, they're all giving up a fucking million goals. Like, I think you do need a blue chip goalie. It's just a matter of the fact that both these goalies are giving up a million goals.

So someone's going to win. And now, by the way, the goalie that's winning is the dude who's going to get paid out the ass because he's actually nasty. Dude. So that is another issue for Vegas. And going back to the Bussin, man, all of these things, all of the answers that Caroline has found. Freddie has been amazing. But Bussy coming in, playing as well as he did in that OT loss, and then getting a win in game four, and then having a monster game tonight. He made some huge fucking saves. And again, you want to go to that first power play goal. That is a textbook power play goal. No one's saving that. can do. I actually had a thought where I go, this has happened to Carolina so much in this series, but I was like, giving up your, giving up a goal in your first or second shot must suck so much. Oh, dude, it's absolutely tragic. Because every time you step on the ice, you go like this, it's absolutely tragic.

Tonight, getting a fucking shout out tonight. And then it goes, I guess, goal. And you're like, damn it. You go like this, wouldn't it be sick? Wouldn't it be really? Like, oh, my God, wouldn't it be really? So it's insane. Wouldn't it be really freaking cool. I didn't give up any. Quick shout out here. Dan, AJ in the chat says, talk about the Miller, the Keandre Block shot, uh, killing chance. He was hurting. Who we could see. Who, who said that. AJ. AJ, that was hilarious. We were right in front of that play. And that was a, you know, tense moment. Goalie pulled. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two goal play. Power play. Keandre Miller fucking eats that shot. And again, we're right there. And he just goes, he takes that one. He just goes,

fuck. Screamed fuck. And then he gets a clear on it. And they get the puck out. And you just see him like, Jesus, fucking Christ, get me off. Yeah. Does look like a wrist there. You can see one fall there. and I was losing my mind thinking that while Bill's sister was in the chat, I was going to go fucking crazy. Yeah, that would have been no. It would have been unbelievable. So that's going to be tough for Vegas. And I believe I said this game would have determined the cup final to me for sure if Vegas won. Yeah.

And I was like, I'm not 100% yet on Carolina because you're going back to Vegas. This is what I was saying after game four. Oh, okay, okay. I was saying you're going back to the fortress. We've seen Vegas. They're so comfortable being uncomfortable. They can come back and they can get a win. I am not so sure now.

Dude, I said to you walking over here. I am not so sure. If Vegas hammers Carolina, 5-1 in game six, I said to you my brain will be in a Wetzel's pretzel. Yep. Because I literally will be like, oh my God, I have no idea what's going to happen.

But I am... Gun to your head, Wetzel's pretzels, or Auntie Anz pretzels? Are you fucking crazy? I think you Auntie Ans because that's what I knew growing up but the Wetzels at the Kings game are fucking incredible. Are you fucking crazy?

That's at the Kings game, right? I think so. The auntie ends is incredible. That's what I said, Auntie Ans, but the fact that you're even thinking about it, dude, you're the biggest nostalgia boy in the world. You're going to tell me that the Newington Mall and Newington, New Hampshire and the Aunt Ian's pretzels

doesn't get your dick hard? That's what I'm screaming, dude. Zach, if you're getting a soft pretzel, Do you know, do they have this in fucking South Carolina? They have soft pretzels. Okay. Yeah. Antians in Auburn, fucking Alabama at the games are really nice.

There's an Auburn, Alabama. Or wait, sorry, I thought you were saying Auburn in South Carolina. And I was like, what? There's Antehan in the West Carolina. Of course. If you're getting a soft pretzel. Yeah. Are you doing soft covered in salt with like a little bit mustard?

Or are you getting the cinnamon sugar covered one? Mustard. That's my guy. Yeah. Mustard. Wow. I think, yeah. You're a cinnamon bitch.

Well, dude, soft pretzel is my most ordered. Like, if I try a new bar and they have a soft pretzel, I get it every time. It is long documented as a C-P special. Yeah. And I don't like, well, I don't dislike. But when they come with the cheese or the mustard, it's got to be the mustard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of people like the beer cheese.

But at the Kings game at night, then I'm like, yeah, give me a fucking dessert. I've already eaten dinner. You know what's interesting? I feel as though oftentimes at restaurants when you order the soft pretzel. You go to a German beer house. Yeah. It's got the sort of well done, hard brown exterior. I wish more restaurants gave me a fucking doughy auntie.

Dude, same. I'm like, barely cooked that bitch, dude. Right? Like what? I'd like to see that more at restaurant. Did you eat the dough in the way that you eat cookie dough? Could I just eat it as a dough? We have a friend, Sam, back home.

And I think we had just been eating Auntie Ans. And he was thinking about a bag. you remember what I'm about to say? We were, we were, he was talking about a bag of like rolled gold pretzels that you get, you know, put in your house. He put out for games, tiny twists. And he goes, I've got a business idea. Bagged mini soft pretzels. And I looked him in his face and I went, Sam, that's one of the dumbest fucking things I've ever heard of my entire.

But that was meme, though, because no, dude. No. Paper. No. Paper. No, no, no. Listen, if it's like a situation where you're at a fair or at a game at an arena and they give you one of those like little mini paper bags filled with a bunch of tiny little soft ones, then sure. I think probably I'd go, these are great. I would love just a big one, but that would work. But he was talking about like the grocery store and I'm like they wouldn't stay soft. That was why it was stupid. But talking about on paper it's jean fucking more on paper. They sell soft pretzels in the grocery store, right?

You're a fucking liar. You're telling me I can go get a soft pretzel like Auntie Ans in the grocery store? Yeah, they sell them in the grocery store. What grocery store? Ann's groceries? No, no, no, whole foods. I know they definitely sell them in Trader Joe's, and I think they sell them. What do they look like?

Is it in like the bakery? It's in like the frozen. You warm it up and... Oh, fuck you. It's frozen? Yeah, but it's good. To bake it. It's garbage.

This guy goes, Zach goes like this. Hey, guys, let's have a pizza night. I got ordered from Dejorno. You fucking idiot. Oh, frozen? No, don't know. Frozen? No, frozen pizza's fucking amazing.

You know what? No, it's not better than fresh pizza. No, but it's pretty fucking awesome. There's a lot of nights. I toss a beard. I get a couple of beers and I put the frozen pizza in the oven and I have a great night. Dude, I believe that, Zach, but the crucial element there is the couple of beers. Yeah, like you're drunk at home late night and you throw a pizza in the fucking oven.

Sure, it's going to be good. And what's sad, not sad, actually, it's nostalgic, is I probably said exactly that when I was exactly Zach's age. Yeah. He will look back on this 10 years from now and go like this, I cannot believe I uttered into a live stream that a frozen pizza is not that bad. Yeah, he was like this. I was so proud.

I was literally on live YouTube. We'll remember. I was once on live YouTube telling people to get a frozen pretzel. Oh, yeah. And it was amazing, dude. I actually do want to try that, though, to be honest. It's so good. Just because I hate to know.

I've had plenty of frozen pizzas for one lifetime, but I do need to try the frozen pretzel. I want to try that. What brand? Oh, Lord. I know, well, they're saying, which is true, they sell the frozen pretzels in the, in the, in the deli section of Publix. Oh, really? Publics is great. I love. Publix is amazing. But I've, I've definitely bought, I can't even remember the brand. I mean pizza. What frozen pizza? Oh, what frozen pizza? I'm the, there's a Detroit, as I think it's called like Motor City. Okay. I don't think of that nature, but it's a Detroit pizza. And it's frozen. It's amazing. You shit on me. Hey, no, dude, I love them. I'll have the one with you.

When we get back, I'll have one with you. Yeah, and a couple of beers and you have the greatest night. I'll have one with you. The greatest night of our life. Greatest night of ours. So I wanted to say on the Mark Stone takes, Eichl and Mark Stone combining for six minutes of penalty time when your team is down to going into the third period.

I'm like, and I thought Jacks was a little, eh, but Markstone tree tronts. Who do you get in the face? Actually, I don't, I don't remember. I'll remember. But anyway, and then Svetch scores again off a gross Euler's pass. Just, I, again, I can't get over how he's like, I played like shit. It's insane. But it's one of those times, like he took a tough panel, did DeLay a game.

So then, dude, his second DeLay game, I don't even know, don't you dare play that video again. They're going to kill us. I just want to prove it to him that I can play it without audio. Oh, it was chatty. that's who got the stick to the face. That's right. He went down, remember? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was the four-minute. By the way, did he come back on the ice? Dude, I think Chats has about four teeth left in his head and now they're gone. Was it stacked? I hope he's all right. Oh, he got calm. But yeah, those guys taking penalties in that moment. And I'm not saying Vegas is coming a part of the scenes, but just those guys

taking penalties, it's like you can't chase a game from the box. It's insane. Plus the Canes Powerplay has been killing you, which they continue to do. And Eelers, Fetch got even hotter. Eilers stayed hot. Like, ridiculous. Euler's second delay a game, I don't even know how he did that.

Me neither. That was crazy. It was unbelievable. I've ever seen. But even though Dorfia, like honestly, the only negative at all if you're Carolina

is Dorofi have scored twice and you're like, fuck, like I just would have loved him not to get going. But that kill at the end of the game with the goal he pulled

was such a cherry on top of this dick kicking where they're like, take another power play, dude. Eler's just like rainbow kicked a puck into the crowd.

I don't know how that happened. take a goalie pull six on four still can't score on us they had that post but bossy had all the answers on the ikel rebound i think it was ikel rebound or maybe dorofia on that rebound but icle had a chance it was just like that was so fully encompassing carolina hockey that i'm i am so hard-pressed especially without bill to think about any way that vegas can muster off enough fight to win another hockey yeah man and look and i go into game five against montreal and the way they fucking took care of business, it's just been all playoffs with this team.

It's like they just, they don't shrink. Winning in game four, winning in game two, especially game four after the brutal, O.T, this Carolina team does not shrink. And now they have the first lead they've had in this Stanley Cup final.

And while Bill is out, they're fucking all over the goaltender in Vegas. Yep. You've got to imagine they go into this game. And this happens all the time. Vibes are so high. Boiler actually said it today on Stanley Cup live.

And I thought this was brilliant. And so did Eric Cole, where they were talking about, and actually, so did Patty. Everyone fucking says. Yeah, this is common take. They were like, being on the road in a crucial game is actually kind of awesome. Yes, this is great for that. Because it's like, you've got all your family there and you best believe, again, shout out chain. family people are going to be coming to Vegas for this game to hopefully possibly see their guys win a cup

but at home it is different you've got so many people asking for tickets you've got all those fans who have been with you all year long there's something about going on the road getting a good night sleep in the hotel being with the boys and just locking in being like let's fucking close this out yep with all of that i just feel like they've showed everything anyone could have ever asked of them to believe we will take care of this job. And it does feel like they have found it. They have found everything that they needed to figure out about this Vegas team to win. And it's going to be a tough battle.

And for Vegas, you're now going to be without Carlson. You've got a goaltending issue. You've got a defensive issue. You've got a lack of offense issue. You've got a quiet down. I know he had two assists tonight, but you've got a quieted down Jack Eichel, a quieted down Mitch Marner hasn't scored in a little bit. And on top of that, dude, this is something that's not really being talked about because every year Vegas finds a way.

They make a trade. They do something crazy. They have an LTIR situation. Dude, Vegas, Dorfiev is about to get a bag. Oh, buddy. He's en masse. Rasmus Anderson is not signed. They're up against the cap.

This is kind of a like, you got to win. Yep. Again, they'll probably talk about that. Yeah, you made that call the other day. I like that take by you. I was talking to you and Marty about this. And I do think Vegas is in a bit of a, hey, man, we kind of went all in for some guys here. We went all in on Martyr and paid him.

We went all in and traded for Anderson. We went in and got heart. We thought he was going to be the answer. We've got this unbelievable goal scorer in Dorofiev. He's about to be RFA. You don't have Petro. Stony is getting older and so hurt. This is definitely, they are looking at this being like, we really want to win this.

So like this is a There's there's an added desperation for Vegas in that element Where this game six is not a lay down boys It's over Carlson's injured blah blah blah it's like a No no no no fucking fight tooth and nail Because this might be the last time we're the this We're not guaranteed at all to be back here next year

Yes right so yeah well put And it's crazy because you go I kind of go Vegas What are you even doing here? Yeah but then preseason they go well we were the preseason favorites. And I go, but then you sucked all year, which you did. You sucked all year. And then they go, well, advanced metrics and we killed the abs. And I'm like, you got, it's, you know, it's such a weird thing where the canes, and I can point to the last eight years of the canes where it didn't

finish the job. But the canes have just been so consistently good all year. And actually, I have a couple chats. I want to shout out here. Okay, it's about hockey. I've been trying to ignore this comment. You keep making it. But Jack has three goals in his last 31 playoff games. Without that production. Because I have felt at times in this series that Vegas is going to be fucking kicking themselves, that they're going to look back and go, I literally cannot believe we lost that series. Now, after games four and five, I feel less bad because really Vegas just feels like they puked up game two. And they should admit, they should be up three oh. And then we'd win. But I go, well, then you kind of got kicked in the face four and five. And then now you're stressing because you're like, okay, the canes are on us.

But I still think Vegas is frustrated. But without that type of jack production, it's a tough task. Like you need, we kept saying the Cains are the team team and the Vegas has Jack and Mitch. That's why they might win.

Yeah. And you, but then you need Jack and Mitch. Yeah. Right? Um, okay,

that was a good one. This is really funny. This is, Torts, I don't even know if it's going to coach next year, but AJ goes, Torts, Hart's going to play 82 games next year plus playoffs.

Oh, okay, Drake had this. I need to come back to that. Let me see. There was a great comment from Blake. Sorry, I'm just filling time here,

but I look for it. But I had another investigation, Dan, because remember I said to you and Laz. You know what's going to happen that's going to drive people insane. Florida is going to trade for Connor Hellebuck, and then Vegas is going to trade Aiden Hill and sign Bobrovsky. Yeah. It's going to be really tough. I found the Blake one. In order for Vegas to win the cup now, the Keynes would have to lose back to back, which they have not done since mid-January.

You haven't lost two games in a row since mid-January. That is so horny. Isn't that incredible? Awesome. And remember, because everyone was going, Montreal has never lost two in a row. And everyone, all the Keynesons are going, we haven't either. But everyone was just on Montreal's dick because they kept going seven gamers without losing two in a row, ignoring the fact that they were losing three times. And the canes are like, we also haven't done that since January. That's insane. Here's my investigation, Dan. Game one, the team that took the lead. Or the team that scored first, lost. Game two, the team that scored first, lost. Game three, the team that scored first, blew the lead, but still won. Game four, the team that scored first, blew the lead, but still won. Game five, the team that scored first lost.

So we're going in sets of twos. Yep. So game six, the team that scores first will lose. Yeah. For Carolina, you start with the goalie pulled. Bang, goal, first shift. Boom, go down with nothing. Bussie goes in, pitches a shoutout you win.

Wow. End of discussion. Start with Bussy pulled. Wow. Give up goal, Bussie, because then he doesn't have to see it go by him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, should I give up a goal? Start with Bussie pulled, goal.

Bussie goes in, shutout, Cup, parade, championship. walk down the strip tarps off cups on we did it interesting um so i find that very interesting um and did i have anything else for you here not really bussy was just incredible what a moment for the kid what a moment for the kid man it's him his family uh it's just it's so awesome to see um it's unreal man i i i as we've said from the beginning i love both of these teams and this shit is not over. This shit is not over. Chris has declared it over. As we have said, I do think Carolina

has the juice right now. They do. And that's not the obvious because they're up three, two. It's because of what I said after game four and what they, they, what I said after game four became true in this game. So I'm like, yeah, they've got the juice. And there's so many great stories here.

It's a very great story for Rod. It is a very great story for Jordan Stahl. It's a very great story for Bussy. It's a very great story for Taylor. I just meant to say, Taylor. I'm so happy for Taylor Hall. Taylor Hall being tied for the most points in the playoffs on this team is fucking insane. And you know what also is a big thing tonight? Taylor Hall, I think in his time in Boston, he got a lot of good tips from one Bradley Marchand. Yeah. And he's a bit of a shit. hit stirer out there. And I think tonight, way more than we've seen in the other games of the

series, he very much officially got under the skin of a lot of Vegas players. Yeah. Like, I think he is in their heads. And I mean, to be the leading, tied for the leading score on the team and also being a fucking rat, getting in people's faces, and be 33 years old, 34 years old, he's been on, what, five teams now Toronto or excuse me Edmonton Buffalo

Boston Chicago Arizona and now six Carolina dude I forgot and the devil MVP

he's been on seven teams first overall pick Taylor Hall's been on seven teams that is a hell of a story yeah dude there there are a ton of people I am will be extremely happy for

and dude It's the, there are guys I'm leaving out for sure. And it, I mean, God, these long series, it's just such a, it's so sad for the team that loses. You know, you just feel so cut up. But at this point, it's like, it's now the canes are up three, two. It's more of a dagger for them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm always trying to avoid the most sadness as possible.

Oh, I just don't want everyone to have a good time. Sure. So I'm like, at this point, I'm like, the canes have to win because if they lose now, it's an absolute nightmare. Yeah. But Vegas got their couple. little while ago. I know there's a couple new guys and everything, but it's like, it's going to be okay. Honestly, I, Mitch Marner is the saddest part of the Vegas story for me, because he has had, regardless of what anyone who says about him in this series, which I think is mostly positive still.

He had a had a had a had a lot of head a day the man. Oh, man. I mean, I mean, like I, there, again, there's, there's so many great stories on Vegas. It's like torts coming in, doing what he's done and winning. Mitch Marner's whole journey, has been amazing. Jack Eichle, winning a gold medal with his longtime best bud Noah Hanifin them winning a cup together yeah those are all amazing stories there's amazing stories on both teams

but there's just Carolina man like Carolina has had for years a little brother vibe and it's fucking amazing seeing them what do what they're doing and to what you were saying earlier if there's any part of Vegas is like we fucking flubbed that we we blew this one

I don't think there's if if Carolina takes care of business here in game six or even comes home and wins in game seven, I don't think there's any way anyone can say that. Because look at what they've done. Yeah, right. Sweet. Sweep. Gentlemen sweep. And then if they go diplomatic sweep, then it's like, dude, they're the best fucking team in the league and they were all fucking year. Absolutely. They haven't, shout out, whoever said that in the chat. They haven't lost back-to-back game since fucking January. This team's a wagon. Dude, here's another investigation for you, Dan. We should have seen it coming a mile away. Laura said, quote, they are a regular

season team, not a playoff team. End quote, if we win, I'm getting that on a t-shirt with OSHA or Witt's face. Dude, Witt, this is the year of Witt sewarded the Sabers. Dude, I cannot wait

to see Witt tomorrow because I'm going to be like this, dude, you are, you are the biggest reverse jinx I've ever seen in the hell. Exactly.

The second Witt sewarded the Sabers and they made playoffs and then he sued the ducks against the oilers and the ducks rins the oilers,

and then he said, the can't, the can't win. We should have seen it a mile away. Yes. This is the year of the anti-Witt

and the canes were winning. That's all it took to get the canes for the hump was Witt making that comment this year. The craziest thing about this, I suppose, as we close out here, we'll get into little Nettors after dark for five or so minutes and have some fun. But, Zach, you said correctly after Game 4, it feels like after every game, all we do is just completely flip the narrative because crazy things are happening. It's all we do. It's all we do.

And it feels very much like this game and this episode, all we've done is talk about Carolina. Yeah. But it's deserved. And Carolina and Carolina fans have been waiting for this all fucking year. Yep. People to, other than me, to finally give them respect. And I don't want to get too horny here. And I don't want Carolina fans to get too horny here. Yes.

I mean, walking out of the Lenny tonight, dude, that was crazy. Dude, it's fucking, it's 85 degrees outside. We walk out of the Lenny. People are fucking tarps off. There's a concert going. Wagon Wheel is playing. We want the cup chance are happening. That's what every fan base does when they get three wins.

So they did what they should. But I need Cain's fans to hear this loud and fucking clear. You are a happy go lucky bunch. You're amazing. We've loved every second we've had with you. Lock the fuck. Yeah, fourth one's tough. Lock the fuck in, dude.

Because I'll tell you what, if you lose game six, especially without Carlson for Vegas, the fear is going to consume you. Yeah. So lock the fuck in. And even if you lose game six, you come back home and you do the same thing. Yeah, yeah.

But like, do not you dare start dancing yet. Dude, that was so sick leaving the rink. I was in Harry. I didn't even want to come back here to record it. I took us so long. I'm recording wagon wheel. I wanted to jump on stage. That was insane.

You're so right. Because I said walking out, I almost hope it comes back for seven. If you promised me the canes were going to win, I would say, I almost want it to come back for seven because these fans deserve to have that party outside because it would be fucking insane. But you just don't want the fear of it.

Because since I can't make promises like that, you don't want to watch Vegas pound you in game six and then have to come back and be like, oh, God, dude. Yeah. So, yeah, it's, I mean, dude, this team is awesome. This Vegas team is awesome. Yeah, man. But they look wounded.

They look wounded. We said blood in the water. but you got but you gotta be a shark though yeah listen grant and i were fucking fins up at the craps table all night in Vegas it's been the trip of sharks i didn't realize that but we were fins up fids up because we were circling boom give me a six give me a six fins up we were sharking the canes look at me we sharked now you have to shark because there's blood in the water right now but if you're not a shark then then nemo gets away then nemo gets away is that another thing that happened you guys were sharks that's what i'm saying we've been sharking and then

And then now there's blood in the water. That's blood in the water. Now the canes need to be sharks. So you've got to turn into a shark. Unbelievable. What a night, dude. What a game. What a night.

Listen, I think we can wrap up the episode. This has been a, oh, what? Yeah, you keep going. You keep filibustering. I got nothing. I got nothing left. I mean, that was one hell of a hockey game.

I think that was probably, we still got great action. Yeah. When Eelers made that pass and then, you know, I was trying to get the great action stamp up and then Vegas scored to make it a two-goal game again and I was like, this is, we just got great action. Yeah, I was so sure that Vegas was going to score

on that late power play to make it four three and I'm here we can fucking go. So we got great action again but this was probably the most normal hockey game so far of the series. But fucking A man, we are headed back to Vegas where the three of us are getting on the bird to our plane in the morning.

Going to go back to Vegas. we've got a game on Sunday night with the cup in the building chills. Is this, do the bars literally close it too? Like I literally can't go out. Is that what you're telling me? Yeah, Carolina people.

Do your bar? I was trying to go to Tin roof right now, but I'm now being called to closes at 2. 10 roof closes at 2 p.m. And then what time does cookout close? Like, do I miss cookout now? You guys can get cookouts still. Cookouts three, tin roofs too.

Yeah. I mean, I guess it makes sense it's an hour after the bar, but both of those seem preposterously early. Yeah. Do cookout here? Is it five? See, that's what I'm saying. Like, how do the Duke bars are open until four, I'm pretty sure.

No. Let's double check. Where, where, what states does, do bars stay open past two? New York. New York. Florida. Yeah, two. Yeah, people are saying two was last call.

That cannot be true. And then Jeremy, oh, Jeremy, what up? Do Jeremy says, cookout never closes. Oh, also, Dan, Jeremy earlier, I forgot to flag this. comment, he goes, did Dan know the wall and couch were going to be white? Before I have my white shirt on? Does it look like, who said that? Jeremy, dude, who's getting with us for game for the OT winner?

Oh, yeah, Jeremy's the man. Does it look like I'm a floating head? It's like I'm wearing a green shirt on the, on the weather channel. Yeah, they go, they go, there's no, he doesn't have, they go, what shirt, dude? Look, y'all, it was very dark. It was very dark in Vegas. So we want to make sure it was very white. No, no, no, Zach.

This is a plus for you. This is just me. I just wore a white shirt on a creak couch on a white wall. It's exactly correct. That's exactly correct. Yeah, man, dude, Vegas is open all night. But that's it, dude. So now we've got to go to cookout before it closes, which is ridiculous.

I know. I feel bad. We're supposed to meet up with the boys, but listen. I got to text them right now. The chat is where our loyalties lie. Yeah, correct. I'm not going to leave you guys hanging. No, no.

It's amazing that at 2 a.m., there's 282 people in here. Yeah, correct. It's amazing. I love every fucking one of these psychopaths. Shark! A little fight! Does anyone in the chat have a hot take that they want us to dissect for five minutes and then we'll close it out? I'm going to give the chat 60 seconds.

Okay. Anyone can put in any hot take debate they want right now and we will spend the next five minutes at three of us. And here's one that we're not going to talk about, but this is going to be a topic of a future pod probably after the final. There we go. Cooch winning MVP this year is beyond me. After they buried him the last two years. Yeah. then they awarded him MVP to share it on last year.

Here's the big question. Who were the other nominees, Nate and Connor, who won Ted Lindsay? Was it Connor? I think so, because it wasn't Macklin. Yeah, it must have been Nate and Connor. This was probably the easiest Connor MVP year of his entire life. And they're like, uh, cooch, after years of you having more points. Both of them first round losses, probably should have been Nate.

And Connor carrying the team without Leon for him. I mean, no, like I thought it should. winning Art Ross. But I thought it should have been cooch. Like, I was like, it's, I mean, I thought it should have been Macklin, but that's me being biased for my son. Okay, let me see. You're on the hot topics. Oh, dude, I did have one more thing to say. Zach, you get to pick the hot take.

You get to pick the audience. Yeah, you got to look at the comments. Yeah. Keynes fans need to be very careful about something. I realized something happened tonight. Oh. The tarps off. Oh, yeah, careful, guys. That's a rally. That's a rally tarps off. Dude, I did not realize this. Listen, listen, listen. You can take your tarps off after a win. But in game, like the tarps off was a rally tarps off.

You can't take your tarps off when you're winning. Dude, so you're going to rally the other team. I've been reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. No, because I think that that's getting too. I think that's bad juju. If they win, we'll do the pod tarps off. I will be shirtless doing the pod if they win. So I've been reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, as I said on a pod recently,

and there's a lot of spells being cast in that, but you've got to be careful because they do what they do, regardless of what you intended to do. Like, if you're like, I'm casting a growth thing on Dan, but I miss and it hits the bad guy. He doesn't not grow. I'm like, oh, fuck, I cast the spell. Well, no shit.

That's not unique to dungeon crawler Carl. Yes, it is. You're telling me, if you cast a spell in Harry Potter and it misses your target and hit something else, it won't still happen? Some, some. If I, when Guardian Leveosa the couch and I miss and hit the lamp, the lamp's going to be floating. Okay, it's unique to every magic book ever written. Yeah.

And in the, in the carolina, because magic is real and this is taking true to what happens. The rally thing is a, or the tarly thing is a, or the tariff. Harps off is a rally spell, and whoever is down will rally. So, I mean, I'm not hit that, and that it was immediate fortune. Yeah, like, I'm not saying that's why Vegas scored again, but I'm not not saying that. So you got to be careful. It's like, Jesus, you hit tarps off if you're winning. What the fuck are you doing?

Okay. You picked one? At Arsink 12 dropped my favorite hot take battle up here. Okay, ready? Okay. Zach is picking the hot take. At Rync 12 says we should be able to trade mascots like players. Dude, that is incredible.

That is interesting, but there wouldn't be a lot of one for ones. I think it'd be plus, plus packages, you know? Plus packages. I want, you want gritty. It's not for free. That is so funny because now I'm going to troll the internet every time I talk about trade propositions. And I'm just going to throw a mascot in there too. Yeah, dude, that would be incredible.

Yeah, wow. I wonder if there are any mascots in the league that a team, like a fan base, is like, that should be our mascot. Do you think? There's definitely one thing you think about. Like, who would you take? Like, number one mascot, I'm going to give up. Like, what player would you give up?

I'm not going to say a player's name in the NHL and say I would give him up for a mascot because that is possibly the most insulting thing of all time. However, I mean, the number one mascot in the league is gritty. It is, it is frankly not a debilts. and stormy, relax, don't yell at me. And I don't need I don't need anyone coming from me, but it's got, it's gritty.

Oh yeah, 100%. I mean, gritty is a fucking weapon. Here's a great take from Chris. The Oilers said they would hire Babcock to get nurse to request a tree. Dude, that is not a hot take, Chris. That is just real. Like, that is funny.

Let's see. Oh, no, but now people are mad at you, Stormy, that was your fault. That was great. I love Stormy. Come on. I love Stormy. I want to know what you guys would trade.

Pretty is first ballot. No, what would you all trade? Gritty from McDavid even trade. The deal is one for one. Whoa, Drake says Harry Potter movies are better than the books. That's incorrect. That's wrong, Drake, but they are great. But they're good.

Yep, they're good. Amazing. There is one. This isn't from the chat, but it's one that was similar to a comment in the chat. At what, and this is one that I've wanted for a long time. age is it too old to wear a jersey? Oh, don't even get, Dan, we have to turn. Is this a, is this a troll by you? No, I'm asking. There are people that have- This is before Zach's time, dude. Zach, this is before your time. The very first ever viral empty netters clip. Oh, really?

Is this take by me, where I say, and I mean this, adult men are not allowed to wear jerseys, in my opinion. I think it is absolutely insane how much of a child, toddler, baby boy you look like when you wear your jersey. But again, it's like a funny take. I'm not actually mad about it, but I do think you kind of look goofy in a jersey. And I think, I think 12 is the age.

The second you become a teenager, you can't be wearing a jersey anymore. A team? Buy them. Buy them. Buy them. And we're just redoing the, yeah, yeah, yeah, correct.

But, but yes, I do, I think it is, I think it's, I think it's tough. Who is the, uh, shout out of Kristen Eustick. Laura said you should wear a jersey in your, Casket. What's that?

Laura said you should wear a jersey in your classic. My, or casket. I think that's actually gasped. Wait, Laura and I are beefing. Yeah, well, do it. My son. No, Laura, Laura's been fucking chirping me for like weeks now. No, no, no, no.

No, you got chirp one time. Ever since the hip thing. Laura and I are fucking arch enemies. It's unbelievable. This is hockey thing, but Rock said that Torz is getting massively outcoached. Rod made line-up changes. They worked. Torts has just been a cheerleader.

I actually thought torts today brought out for the first time did the Marner Eichel Stone line. Yeah. And then Marner and Stoneware dash one. Ikel was somehow plus one, but I was like, that was actually a big swing change that did not work. Laura wants to be out of timeout. Laura's not in timeout. We're just beefing, Laura.

We used to be best friends. And now we're fucking enemies because you have been humiliating me for weeks. God damn, dude. Ooh, okay, this is a good one from about the jerseys. If the player is older than you, you're good. Well, listen. My take is ridiculous because I...

That's a good take, dude. Oh, no, no, I... Well, I don't like that because it takes the wonderment out of loving a team. I'm like, whatever, dude, that's okay. And I say that, I say that because whoever said that comment, that's a very logical comment. But I wear, as you know, I wear football kits all the time, soccer kits all the time. Which is a jersey. And they're all...

But, but, but, but, but, but... Football jerseys, sorry, excuse me, I'm being, I'm being dushy, British Dan. now. Soccer jerseys are just t-shirts. They're just t-shirts. Yeah. So I think they just literally the visual aesthetic looks cool and good. I feel

the same way about baseball jerseys. It's just a t-shirt. When you wear Zachary, when you wear... You're bending the rolls here. No, it's... You are... It's just called toddler baby boys. Anybody who wore a jersey? And then you're like, you know what? Baseball jerseys. It's cool. It's...

completely buy. But you know it's right, dude. When you put on a hockey jersey, you're swimming in that thing. Like, it's someone the right size. Our Utah jerseys are gas. Yeah,

but because I'm smart. And I went, give me a fucking schmedium. Because I was like, I don't want this thing to make me look like I'm going to my first day of school. Yeah.

This is unbelievable. It's just straight. Hypocrisy is what this is. It's specifically a hockey and football jersey issue for me because everyone buys big football. But you know what I do like about football?

Most stadiums are... Actually, I don't even know if that's true. I was going to say most stadiums are cold weather places, but that's probably not true. But in the cold weather stadiums, I love it when people put the football jersey over their jackets, like their winter jackets. I think that does look cool.

And like the winter classic, when it's in cold weather cities, people put the jerseys on over the jackets and stuff. That looks pretty cool. Or over a hoodie. Yeah. Looks like your layer. So jerseys are cool.

So you're wrong. Jerseys are cool. but I just, I think, I don't like it. It's not for me. Get the right size. Get the right size. Also, get a jersey and shadow box. It put it on a wall.

That looks amazing. Get a Jersey T. Yeah. All right, we gotta end this. We're out of control. Good night, guys. People are bad, dude. People are bad.

People love jerseys. And so do I, but. I can't believe. I don't like chat. From Dan. I love a jersey. I said this in confidence. This is the OG viral clip that we got yelled that for.

This is not a real take. It's a hairbrained Dano take. This is. Fancy boy, Dano, dude. There are 259 people at fucking two in the morning. You guys are the fucking grist about this. But you know what's great and why I love all you fucking beauties? And what I love about this show, especially in moments like this,

I feel like we're just sitting around with 300 some odd of our buddies. That's what I feel like. We're just yucking it up, dude. We're just yucking. We're not ending this episode because I'm just having fun chat with the fellas. I have to cookout. And the gals, yeah, we got to go to cookout. We do got to go cookout.

Shut up. Shout out for the boom moons. Shout out blue moon god. Shout out blue moon god. You are the fucking goat. And shout out, I mean, we don't need to do the shoutouts again, but I do just want to say shout of Kelly again. I love Kelly.

If this has to do with jerseys, I'm gonna throw you out the way. No, it's not. George's, there's just some folks that are like, that rip on my reading when I'm like reading out the comments. It's because I can hear you and then hear myself on a delay. And so when I am talking, because I'm monitoring the audio, y'all, that's why it sounds so funny and slow is because I'm hearing myself at a very high volume in my head. That is awesome. Pull up a page of a Harry Potter book right now and read the whole thing. It looks like
