Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Spittin' Chicklets listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello, everybody. Welcome to episode 389 of Spittin' Chicklets, presented by Pink Whitney, from our friends at New Amsterdam Vodka, here in the Barstool Sports Podcast family. What's up, everyone? We are knee-deep into the second round, and we have some controversy in the St. Louis, Colorado series,
Starting point is 00:00:42 a no-show in the Sunshine State, and the brilliance of Conor McDavid every other night. So good to watch. But first, let's check in with the fellas. Mikey Grinelli, what's going on, my man? Nothing really, R.A. Actually, just finally got some nice weather here in New York City.
Starting point is 00:00:56 So I'm just prepping, getting ready for the Jersey Shore, getting ready for DJs, getting ready for some Pink Whitney Grails this summer. So I'm excited. What's DJs? Oh, no, DJs is the name of Pink Whitney Grails this summer. So I'm excited. What DJs? Oh, no. DJs is the name of a bar down the Jersey Shore. It's the best.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Only DJs in my car. B-E-L-M-A-R. Exactly. Oh, they got a chant? No, that's like this famous video. Gotta be dancing. Gotta be smiling. Gotta be shaking that ass.
Starting point is 00:01:20 It's like a viral video from, I'm going to say, 2004. Dude, it was like one of the first viral videos. It's this guy, Biz, with all his buddies in the car, and they're going to DJs, and they are exactly what you think, just a bunch of juiced-up Grinnellis in their car, looking to go get after it. Hey, so I know there's like a nice Jersey Shore, and then kind of like a grungy Jersey Shore.
Starting point is 00:01:43 This is more of the grungy side where the actual TV show that all the cartoon characters from that would go there. Not really. Actually, this is this bar in particular is kind of known for that techno EDM vibe, but it's in Belmar, which is actually a really nice part of the Jersey shore.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Seaside Heights is actually where the Jersey shore was filmed, but it was all based kind of off the people that go to DJs. Okay, so is this the bar that, I don't know if it's the Barstool account, but a lot of the Barstool characters go to it, and there's a bartender there, Brunette, with absolute missile bombs on her, like kind of like the chick who sat behind the Dallas bench,
Starting point is 00:02:19 and she's always pouring Pink Whitney? Always, always pouring Pink Whitney grails. They have this Pink Whitney grail. It's Pink Whitney in Red Bull, and you kind of have to take it down all at once. It's unreal. The guy, Fun Anthony, just runs the show down there. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Shout out our boy Rico. R.A. and Rico have differences. I'm an R.A. guy. I'm a Rico guy. We don't have to get into that. Rico Bosco? He pretty much got Pink Whitney into DJs, I've been told. So he's the DJ's man.
Starting point is 00:02:44 He's the DJ king. He's the dj king he's the djs king absolutely we appreciate that because now all these juice monkeys are hammering hold them home the stuff every weekend maybe i could hire him if i ever go back to nyc because i'm gonna have these rangers fans trying to shank me now very funny story about that but we'll get into that in a little bit go ahead biz how you doing buddy you doing, buddy? How you doing? I was going to ask, what's the beef between Rico Bosco and R.A.? I don't know. I just know that there's beef. Yeah, I've literally never exchanged words with him.
Starting point is 00:03:14 He used to call in Bosco Radio years ago. Like, before he had anything to do with Bosco, I'm like, oh, this guy just calls a clown, whatever. And then I muted him on Twitter, and then he blocked me. So I don't know if a block counts when you're already muted. So twitter and then he blocked me so i don't know if a block counts when you're already muted so we literally like i went in the office like all right you've had some blocking slash muting experiences i mean we had talk on the block list or maybe vice versa we had sean avery in the mix now what made him such a clown and how
Starting point is 00:03:41 did that then all of a sudden did he become kind of a caricature of barstool like dave just based on his calls yeah to the radio because he was so entertaining me i think he called himself maybe the best calling guy in the in the history of like radio and he just wanted on the record socks off i want it on the record i love ra but i am a rider i am very much a rider and i don't want to get blackballed by him. I think you're just a little afraid of Rico. No way. Rico is not afraid of anyone. No, I'll fucking go ahead.
Starting point is 00:04:09 He's probably getting Grinnell. He's dick wet before he met his girl at fucking DJ's fist bumping with the juice monkeys. Rico got me to cut a three hour line at DJ's one time. I have the utmost respect for him, but it's like I did Brandon Walker show the other day. He called me in the through pick central and like I'm sitting literally like two feet away from him. But it's like I did Brandon Walker show the other day. He called me in the through pick central. And like, I'm sitting literally like two feet away from him.
Starting point is 00:04:29 And he just, it's hilarious. Like he won't like, he doesn't look at you. He won't like, he just pretends I'm not there. It's fucking hilarious. You're on his shit list. You're not even getting a fucking look. You're not even getting a sniff. Hey, you're Johnny Depp.
Starting point is 00:04:41 You won't, you won't, he won't look at Amber Heard. You won't look at Rico Bosco. I'm sleeping good at night. So, well, I wanted to ask you, so how has the whole launch of Shorzy been going? I mean, I've seen the response online. A lot of people like the show. Oh yeah. People are going nuts already. Have you, have you felt the love from it? Absolutely. And of course we've only dropped in Canada, up at Craven Canada.
Starting point is 00:05:04 It's going to be on Hulu this Friday the 27th down here in the states and yeah the feedback has been tremendous and it's only been from Canadians and I know I said it before I'm obviously going to pump the tires the show is fucking hilarious like I think it's funnier than Letter Kenny there's never been a television show a hockey television show before it's like sort of slap shot almost like a slap shot tv show in some ways and the chirps in it are so goddamn funny i can't wait till it drops next week we're gonna do a full court press with like promos and stuff because you know obviously we get a lot of listens in the states too and uh yeah it's exciting it's pretty exciting stuff so kiso likes to fly a little bit under the radar i think what he was trying to do is he wants to deflect in us to get
Starting point is 00:05:43 somebody on the show uh who is in it. Like he's one of those guys who, you know, I don't think he likes that type of attention, but mad respect for what he's done in his whole career. And to, you know, to incorporate the Spit and Chicklets brand with getting you on there, that's pretty awesome. And like you said, the banter and the chirps is, I think that even Brad Pitt at one point, like shouted it out on a red carpet saying how much he loves it and how different it is. So when you get Brad Pitt giving you props.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Yeah, oh yeah, there's a clip of it somewhere. I've seen it where he says, oh yeah, he was pumping. Letter Kenny or Shorzy? Well, Letter Kenny, but it's a spinoff, right? Same type of humor and banter. So I've actually seen ryan's been talking about it in quite a few podcasts and of course doing promo for it so buddy congratulations i could tell you got like a little bit of pep in your step since it came out so i hope you keep ripping
Starting point is 00:06:34 with the acting gigs and and keep the positive train going buddy thanks buddy i'm season two's gonna happen and most likely i'll be back up in subray what's funny too is my old lady like she's so tuned out on hockey because like that's that's all I eat, sleep, and breathe. Even she was dying at the trips. Like, I had her watching some of it. She was pissing herself laughing at the trips, and she's, like, all hockeyed out. R.A. is going to want his own trailer.
Starting point is 00:06:55 He's going to have a rider list this long. He's going to want Colombian flown in just for him. Not me, Paul. Come on. No, okay, yeah, yeah, sorry. Womp, sock. on no okay yeah sorry so uh what you do all weekend any have any fun boys any any excitement just take it easy i don't know if you want to enjoy i'd like a little intro actually i need a little pep in my step and now uh buddy down south in atlanta paul biz nasty bisonette of tnt and tbs what's going on my man it's been fun man like
Starting point is 00:07:23 obviously we've had some really fun broadcast with with getting all this repetition and having the guys around um i think our chemistry is getting even better and you know we we've been able to let it fly and i'm not even really that tired i'm kind of just riding a natural high and and the games have been so good uh specifically to me that st louis colorado and i know we're going to get into it but uh the hockey's been great a lot of shit talking online obviously the rangers fans were giving it to me today after the igor shusterkin performance but all in all uh much like you are you talked about consuming hockey that's really all i've been doing lately uh not much fun just eat sleep and hockey yeah pretty
Starting point is 00:08:02 much uh we should probably jump right into it but but first Well, we got to give Witt a fucking intro, right? Yeah, sorry, Witt. I know he always jumps the gun on us there. Last but not least, the Witt dog Ryan Whitney. What's going on, buddy? A little delay. Not much, guys. So I have
Starting point is 00:08:20 two things to talk about. One involving biz, one not involving biz. The first one I'll bring up kind of a banana situation. If I'm being honest with you, Ryder goes to preschool. There's awesome schools. The teachers, they do a phenomenal job. This woman, Laurie, runs the place. It's a fantastic place to send your kids.
Starting point is 00:08:39 They're outside like more than half the day, which is what you want, right? You want your kids active. You want them outside getting energy out, getting experiences of a hangover. Vitamin D. Exactly. So there's a fundraiser, right, for the school. And I think that they invite every, you know, every kid who goes, parents can go.
Starting point is 00:08:57 And you're trying to raise money for the school and for your kids, basically. And also there's some auctions. There's five auction items, the live auction, and there's a silent auction. So my good nina she ran the whole thing she put together this whole night and then she asked me hey could you come up and maybe help me with the live auction part right i was like yeah whatever no problem i could do that i could do that in my sleep so for an outfit now i we showed up and like most guys had like a nice suit coat on or like a blazer
Starting point is 00:09:28 and some nice pants i had on like some khaki whitish pants i pegged them i had some common projects on i looked phenomenal i looked phenomenal biz let me tell you showing some ankle some fucking asshole at this event dude doesn't say a word to me about my gear. Actually, I'll backtrack it. I'll backtrack it. OK, we're going back. So the auction goes great. We auctioned off. Ray Bork donated a signed jersey, two tickets to a Bruins game next year and a night, a dinner at his restaurant, Tresca in the North End, all paid for. What else was on Red Sox tickets for this Sunday? Like on the first baseline, there was that those were two U S open practice
Starting point is 00:10:12 round tickets with like, or maybe it was regular round with tent for beer and like food, like good stuff. I, I got one thing. One of the ox things I bought because the kids get dropped off in the back. So you get a park on this street and you got to walk way behind. It's kind of a hike of a walk with the kids get dropped off in the back. So you got to park on this street and you got to walk way behind. It's kind of a hike of a walk with the kids. And then if you have Wyatt and everyone there, it's got 1,400 kids, it feels like.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Everyone at the school has four kids. I can't even handle two. So if you're with Wyatt, you got to get him out of the car. You got to carry him. Then you got to walk right up and you got to walk back. So one of their auction items
Starting point is 00:10:41 was a parking spot in the back. So you can just big wheel, right? Because you drop them off at the playground. so you can just big wheel right because you drop them off at the playgrounds you can just big wheel park basically vip parking you're right there sitting like okay the baby's in the car just leave him in the car so i'm like brie she's in the back i'm she's doing the auction like with the numbers trying to buy something i'm doing the auction i'm like you get that fucking parking spot this is like the disneyland uh fast pass yeah i'm done walking up that hill with the kids.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I want to go in the back. So there's a pregnant woman there who has kids or a kid at the school. She's up front. And I'm like, starting at 100, she's like 100. Someone goes 150, 200. She was like, she went boom, boom, boom, up to like 700 or 800. And I'm like, Jesus, we got to let her win. I mean, she's like eight months pregnant.
Starting point is 00:11:26 So she wins. But boom, all of a sudden, the director of the school says, we got to let her win. I mean, she's like eight months pregnant, so she wins. But boom, all of a sudden, the director of the school says, we got a second spot. We can auction off a second spot. So I got that one. So long story, there's two spots. So auction ends, great night. It went from 7 to 1130.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Everyone was catching a good buzz. I actually left about 9, 915, though, because I had to watch the games. You know, I'm doing my job. I'm a professional watching hockey games. So I get home. I'm all excited for game two, the Battle of Alberta. And I'm just kind of scrolling through Twitter. And I see a picture and the comment is, who the fuck dresses like this? And it's a picture of my legs and my buddy, Billy Ryan's in the picture
Starting point is 00:12:03 because he just had surgery. He's got a walking boot on. So he's got I'm like that's me he's like i'm like what the fuck so i'm like someone so i click on the picture of this dude and i'm like this guy this piece of shit isn't the guy that was at the school we'll get we'll get to this dude who tweeted it in a second but i'm like somebody at this event like for our, where all our kids go to school, like took a picture of me, like my bottom half and either tweeted it and this guy saw it or sent it to buddies. And somehow this guy who tweets it, get it. I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah, I'm in the public, but we're at a thing for the kids, for the kids. And you're snapping pictures, sneaky pictures of me standing
Starting point is 00:12:41 right next to me like a fucking asshole. My's boiling right so i i like really like billy my boy billy text me he's like we gotta find out who took that pic like what an absolute prick not only is a prick to be snapping pictures of me we're doing something for the kids he doesn't even have the balls to be like yo your pants look stupid which they did not i looked freaking great i gotta see this fit by the way i'll send you the picture so i had the skinny fat look down pat what a rhyme that was if it even rhymes so i'm like this prick i'm like he doesn't even have the balls to say like dude your pants are terrible how you're wearing them you're gonna like side hold the camera and snap a picture of me at the thing for the kids so fuck him i'd love to find out who it is i we the school invited people who are incoming so
Starting point is 00:13:26 their kids are gonna be going next year to maybe come so maybe it's an incoming prick that doesn't know that i mean business when you're taking creepy pictures of me at an event for the kids then we get to this clown who writes who the fuck dresses like this this This asshole, dude, I clicked on his picture. Him and his wife had legitimate Building 19 ghetto ass fake Bruins practice jerseys on at an MDC trash rink with three pucks in front of them with their anniversary engraved in the pucks. He's chirping my gear. Who the fuck dresses like that? Who the fuck wears fake practice Bruin shirts? He's at a shitbag rink and kneels down on the ice with their anniversary and three pucks, you losers.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Fucking unbelievable evening at Village School. Not going to lie. I was hoping it went down the path of you outbidding the eighth month pregnant girl on the parking spot, but it didn't. No, I couldn't. I couldn't. And I'm proud of you for backing off and i thought maybe that's why they would have been rude enough to tweet that picture now
Starting point is 00:14:31 much like how galant says we have people in the lineup who can take care of guys like that after the scruffle or scruffle i don't know how you say it after the rangers carolina game tell me who this fucking guy is and send me in this bag of shit. I want to find out. I don't like I don't know who I hate more. The guy taking creepy ass sneaky pictures of my lower half at an event for my kids
Starting point is 00:14:55 or the guy who's tweeting me with the worst fake jersey in the world with his wife and their stupid anniversary and three ghetto ass. They're probably like fake pucks too made in Czechoslovakia so that was ridiculous that was that was Friday night was that Friday night yes so then Saturday night I go down how old we time out how much of the parking spot cost you and do you get it for a full year that's a great question because school ends in two weeks so I hope
Starting point is 00:15:21 for next year I actually wonder do I not get that for next year? You got fleeced. I might've just got posed, but it all goes to the kids. So then I go down and this kind of involves you. So I go down right now. We're recording Sunday night. It's eight o'clock. It's about to start.
Starting point is 00:15:38 So yeah, Battle of Alberta. Battle of Alberta. I got it on the TV. So I'm, but so there's a wedding tonight, a Sunday night wedding I couldn't make. But last night there was like the night before the wedding. So I'm, but so there's a wedding tonight, a Sunday night wedding I couldn't make. But last night there was like the night before the wedding. So I went down, my wife's there. So I went down with her last night, spent the night in Newport. Congratulations, Dean and Patula.
Starting point is 00:15:53 It's a Greek wedding. These people get after it. The night before the wedding was like, it was like a, basically a wedding. It was crazy. So in the middle of the wedding, like these guys come up to you i met another family all played hockey great kid good luck to this kid nico he's on the new jersey rockets big fan these two guys come up to me they're buddies of the groom they're like you fucking hate the rangers you piece of shit like funny though funny bastards i was like oh no no no i'm like i kind of hate him but my boy biz really hates him they're like that motherfucker gets shanked. He shows his face at MSG again.
Starting point is 00:16:27 I go, you think? He's like, fuck him. That guy's a piece of shit. I go, Jesus, boys. I go, guys, relax a little bit. They want you dead in New York City. I backed you up. I go, he'll pump your eyes shut.
Starting point is 00:16:41 So we're still waiting for ESPN to make the call on what series they're taking for the conference finals. So who knows if the Rangers advance and let's say they play Tampa, we're going on location. So I'm going to be there on the panel outside MSG or maybe inside. I would imagine they got us propped outside. That's kind of how they usually do it with like the crowd in the background. I mean, you saw Charles chirping at the Golden State Warriors fans. I don't have a fucking problem, but I'm definitely bringing a few of these people from DJs who are all juiced up on HGH to come protect my ass. You'd have a hell of a body protection crew.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Avery Zaretsky said that he called me yesterday and he said that he has never seen New York Rangers hate someone like they hate Bitt. So he tweeted out tonight that I'm dodging him. He sent the jersey that I have to wear because Pittsburgh lost on the broadcast. I have it here at the Four Seasons. I said tonight on the broadcast, I said because Liam made a crack about
Starting point is 00:17:39 me going at it with Rangers fans, and I said, yes, I still have to make own up to my bet i and i and i will that jersey's going on so he's trying to stir it up online now let's go back to to how do you say his last name zarensky zaretsky zaretsky it's like the building 19 version of gretzky yeah same as that anniversary picture so did he not at one point go after Arizona Coyotes fans for wearing the whiteout because we stole it from the Winnipeg Jets and it was brought over? But all the meanwhile, today at the Rangers game on Sunday, they passed out white shirts to create a whiteout, and he was wearing it? I believe he said, Biz, I believe he said New York would never do that.
Starting point is 00:18:30 So talk about a fucking fugazi. And listen, hung Shusterkin out to dry again, and although Shusterkin let in a horrible goal, he did show up to play another game when they got peppered in shots and played most of the game in the defensive zone. So let's just pump the fucking brakes here on relying on your goaltender when you can't really spend any time in the offensive zone. Now, I don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves here
Starting point is 00:18:55 because we're going to end up starting here with probably the most intense series of them all with St. Louis and the Avs. Anything else before we get going on hockey boys no let's chat some hockey let's chat all right all right i'll send it back over to you so fuck the guy who took the picture and wit you're you're the country club guy let me fucking hit the guy from well in ontario let me handle that fucker who posted the picture thank you biz all right thank you all right all right before we jump right into it, summer is here, and that means pool parties and beaches.
Starting point is 00:19:27 So make sure you stock up and have plenty of that Pink Whitney on hand for your pool parties, your head in the beach or whatnot. And if the sun is at your speed, if you're a pasty guy like me, then head over to your local bar. Make sure to order some Pink Whitney there. Either do a shot, mix it with some club soda. Either way, you can't go wrong. Enjoy our five times distilled vodka infused with fresh pink lemonade flavor,
Starting point is 00:19:47 especially now that the great weather is here. Grinnell, you gassed some pink with me this weekend or what? Of course you did. He did his tour in New Jersey. You posted the video, didn't you? Yes, I did. I actually was ripping nips the whole time, too, but I had to leave that out of the video because, as you guys saw in the video,
Starting point is 00:20:01 I got hit by a car. You can't have a couple nips and ride a bike? I don't know. So at the beginning of the video, I asked our camera guys, I said, can you get a DUI on a bike? And it sounds like you can. So I left that out. I wasn't drunk.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I was very responsibly driving. But I was in the Pink Whitney jersey. Did have a couple Pink Whitney nips as well. Couple quick things. I know I've mentioned it every podcast here in the last three or four. We're doing that every Wednesday contest on our social social media account follow pink whitney we're doing package giveaways we're doing a beach giveaway a cooler giveaway uh golf giveaway we're doing a bunch of shit so just follow us on the pink whitney social accounts and um not i don't have the full details
Starting point is 00:20:42 yet but i will be doing a pink whitney Whitney tour in Canada this summer where we're doing bottle signings myself, just myself, because I know you guys are going to stay in the States. This is going to be in my free time. I'm going to go around with Pasha. We're going to hit up Winnipeg, Manitoba. We're going to hit up Edmonton, Calgary. I believe we're going to Saskatoon, trying to do Kelowna, and then, of course, Vancouver. So this is in the works. We're going to make sure you guys get all the details, but it's all going to be brought to you by Pink Whitney, and it's going to be a little biz Canadian Pink Whitney tour, and I'm looking forward to seeing all our fans across Canada. I know it's been a while since we've had some activations there due to COVID, but we did not forget about you.
Starting point is 00:21:22 We love you. I cannot wait to see you. I cannot wait to beat the fucking wheels off you guys and bubble hockey. When I do see you at these bar appearances. So rock on pink Whitney and thank you for supporting the brand. All right, back over to you. Let's go, baby. All right. Saturday night, Saturday night in St. Louis, the blues lost goalie, Jordan Bennington,
Starting point is 00:21:41 645 into the first period after collision with Naz Khadri and Callie Rosen in his crease. And then they lost game three, five to two. And afterwards was when the real fireworks came. Khadri was getting interviewed by you guys on TNT, and all of a sudden he turns and looks, and he says, not sure if he just threw a water bottle at me. And apparently, not apparently, Jordan Benetton chucked a water bottle in his direction.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Biz, have you ever seen or heard of anything like this before? A guy like chucking a water bottle at a guy doing an interview like this before? I would assume most people have seen it on Twitter or Instagram. Grinnelli is going to roll the audio of it and you could hear the awkward pause. So roll it, G. I'm sure you're going to get asked about this maybe once or twice over the next few days. So just take us through the collision with Jordan Bennington from your point of view. What happened on that play?
Starting point is 00:22:27 Just a loose puck. I just tried to get my stick in there and, you know, and, you know, just tried to poke the puck free. I think their weak side defenseman came over and kind of bumped me, and that's, you know, what caused the collision. So, you know, I hope he's all right. I'm not sure if he just threw a water bottle at me or not but wow the poise yeah i mean not much i could do man not much i can do i'm just going for the loose bucket in the midst of the interview like obviously you're trying to formulate a question and like listen to what the other guys
Starting point is 00:22:58 are asking so you don't really ask the same thing and i i was the last guy to go and and i kind of held liam off and I was like wait like did you just tell me that Binnington threw a water bottle at you like or or and then he reiterated he's like yeah yeah I'm pretty sure and you could tell that he knew but he didn't really want to throw him under the bus but it it already slipped out um I talked to the other guys after we just assumed it was one of his own teammates trying to like distract them and joke around after a win you know how you're in and out of the hallway you're having fun you're excited you guys won the game but definitely a bizarre thing um if you guys want
Starting point is 00:23:36 to talk about the hit on Binnington specifically I know St. Louis fans don't want to hear it going back to last year that hit that he put on Falk was bullshit. And Kadri definitely has a past. He has been known to lose his cool. He has suffered based on suspension and length of suspension and losing money. And this reputation will follow him for the rest of his career. Doesn't matter if he's got a clean slate, he's going to be put in the Tom Wilson category. He's going to be put in the Brad Marchand category and I'm sure that you guys can think of other names off the top of your head but this is not far removed from that entire situation to the point where this year during the regular season they made him answer the bell and between him and Binnington there was a switch a stick swinging incident he was 100 going for the puck
Starting point is 00:24:28 there if Rosen would not have made contact with him he wouldn't have crashed into Bennington that's what I believe I've seen still images I've watched every replay from every angle and that note from a player that has been in that situation, going to the net, knowing in the direction that he was going, and also seeing the fact that if he gets to stick on that first, based on where Bennington is, he has an opportunity to poke that in and score a goal. everything for the St. Louis Blues, because after watching Bennington, not only at the end of the first round when he came in or towards the middle and the end, and then in the first two in some odd games in this round, he was back to Bennington when they went on their cup run. They had all the confidence in the world. Not only did they fucking make every adjustment they needed to in
Starting point is 00:25:25 game two they were better on face-offs they were disciplined they out-competed uh colorado they won the loose puck battles they were better on their breakouts they were better at slowing colorado down through the neutral zone um they neutralized kale mccarr like we have not seen all season long that could be up for debate based based on how Kyle Makara might be banged up. And on top of it, the fact that St. Louis' back end is a little bit banged up. They're missing Krug. And, of course, they're dealing with – like, Letty missed a game or two last round. Guys are banged up.
Starting point is 00:25:59 And the fact that Binnington can play the puck as well as he can, this has royally fucked that team in my opinion because Huso right now does not have the type of confidence that he had in the regular season he not to his fault because he got thrown in the middle of of uh of game three he looks shook he looks unconfident and the goaltending cost them that game. In my opinion, when he got up and he went the one way to test it out and he looked all right. But then when he shimmied over to the right, you could tell his,
Starting point is 00:26:32 his either hip or right knee was not doing well. You could tell right away, right away. And the, you could feel the energy leave the building as he went off the ice. Now credit to the St. Louis blues fans, because as soon as who so came on,
Starting point is 00:26:49 they did everything they could in order to try to give him confidence. They all stood up, they all cheered him on, but it looked like a completely different, I don't want to say completely different team. They just couldn't get the saves when they needed it after that. And to me, I think that the abs are now going to win this series based on that,
Starting point is 00:27:09 but credit to St. Louis and the way that they were able to rebound after game one, because they made every fucking change necessary in order to come back and prove to Colorado, Hey, we're not just going to lie down and die. We're going to come compete and we're going to fucking try to run you fuckers through the board. And this, to me, is the most competitive man-like series as far as physicality.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I hope I did a good enough breakdown. I love St. Louis. I love the fans. I'm sorry I don't agree with you guys and last thing i will say is there has been a few incidences where uh burner accounts and stuff have said some pretty nasty shit racist stuff to to nazim qadri online that shit fuck off it's rubbish it's bullshit there's no need for it it's it's gross he should not have to deal with that if you don't like him as a player and you think that he's dirty it's one thing to send those type of messages fuck off put you in a rocket ship and fucking send you off this planet no need for it i agree with him uh ra i don't know
Starting point is 00:28:18 just because i i look at cadre reaching for the puck right and all of a sudden rosen comes in if rosen hadn't touched him he's reaching for that puck, right? And all of a sudden, Rosen comes in. If Rosen hadn't touched him, he's reaching for that puck. He's trying to get a piece of it. And then he's kind of skating to the right. He's veering off. Now, I guess how would I know what's 100% going to happen? But without that contact, he's not even really anywhere near him. It sucks to see.
Starting point is 00:28:39 I just feel so bad for Binnington. Having met him, good guy, came came on with us spent the time with us i really appreciate um what he's been through since he won the stanley cup right he lost his starter's job this year he gets it back he's playing big time hockey and he gets injured it's just injuries are so unfair it doesn't matter what sport you're talking about but for a guy that was playing that well and had this huge game two victory they get out to a lead in game three and boom this happens it's just such shit luck for somebody who's kind of gone through a lot. So I really feel bad for him, but I'm kind of with biz.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Now also I'll say for St. Louis fans, I think the hit on Gerard is a big time hockey hit. That sucks too. Another guy who got called out at one point, I think at the end of the season, maybe not called out publicly, but he wasn't playing great hockey. Gerrard was struggling. He was trying to do too much.
Starting point is 00:29:28 And he's been a beast in the playoffs, as basically every guy on the avalanche has. But he's a human breakout. Like, you don't even really talk about him because of how good Makar is. But his edge work, the ability for him to spin off guys, he is such a great, important player. And he's done. And I can't even imagine a broken sternum. Oh, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:29:46 It hurts to read that. Oh, my God. And, like, the guy at the balls, he kind of gets up. You can tell he's in horrific pain. Watching that in real time was – Dude, Barber Chef was going about 100 miles an hour. So maybe you want to call a charge, but, Biz, how would you describe in terms of –
Starting point is 00:30:04 because we already chatted about this how would you describe in terms of of you saying it is a clean and legal hit so he he he makes a play on the puck and and what i commend gerard for sometimes guys bail out of that he did not there he did not and it's playoff hockey and he advances that puck over to manson and when he gets crumbled you just say, you know, this guy sacrificing his body to try to make a play just so they can break out out of their own end. When you have Barbashev breathing down your neck,
Starting point is 00:30:33 and I don't know how many of you people know about this Barbashev. Oh my God. If there's one thing he can do, it's he could fucking paint you through the wall. He is fans know from 2019, he was hammering everyone he is a wrecking ball and as i said if you watch that hit in real time he crumbles him and sometimes as defenders when you make that play you try to then roll off the hit and so in some cases a lot of people were like well look it's from behind because by the time he finishes his hit, it's like Gerrard's face is into the dasher. But it has to do with his size.
Starting point is 00:31:12 It has to do with the fact that he's turning after he makes the play. And just like I said to St. Louis fans, I'm sorry about your luck. I know that you hate Kadri. And there's a history there. your luck i know that you hate cadre and there's a history there they end up having to bite the bullet on a clean play at the other end that ends up injuring a guy who is very valuable to their lineup so it's an eye for an eye in this situation and it sucks because you want to see these teams at their best but i cannot sit here and tell you that that barbachev hit was dirty at all would you maybe called it a charge or could you have accepted a two minutes
Starting point is 00:31:47 for charging? But it's, it's, it's like this man, it's a loose puck. So if he doesn't go for the puck, it's like, then it's Barbashev's puck first. It's like, that's the, that's hockey, man. I've been tweeting it out nonstop on these clean hits throughout playoffs. Like I believe there's a door off hit was clean. I'm not sure what the other one I ended up posting it on. And there's fans online who are going to scream and yell and tell you you're a fucking asshole.
Starting point is 00:32:09 But it's like, fuck you, man. I was out there. I was in those situations. I know what it's like. I've been given. You had to throw those hits to stay in the lineup. I had to throw them and I had to take them. And I was a defenseman at one point, too.
Starting point is 00:32:22 And I had to go back and get pucks and get fucking ran through the wall. Buddy, I used to play against Cam Jansen in the old Windsor barn, and he would bark at me before he did it. So not only did I have to fucking take pregame naps knowing this guy would be barking at me and spinning all over me off face-offs, but I had to have him run me through the boards, which, by the way, the old Windsor barn, they were concrete.
Starting point is 00:32:44 They didn't even bend at all oh these are those old that old glass dude you might as well if it was like uh you might as well had them fucking in barbed wire for fuck's sakes there wasn't even glass back then it was fencing okay so i'm not being a hypocrite here. I've had so many AC separations. But, R.A., as you say, when you hear about that sternum, it's just like when you read it, you're like, oh. So, yeah. That's a big loss for the Avs, dude.
Starting point is 00:33:21 R.A., actually, before we roll it over to you, we should roll the post-game comments by Coach Berube, and then following that, we're going to roll the response, I'm assuming by Bednar, after he heard what Berube said. Look at Kaji's reputation. That's all I got to say. Listen, reputation, it doesn't mean anything. It's either a legal player or it's not.
Starting point is 00:33:48 We've talked about this with Naz and the way he's trying to change his reputation and making sure that he's playing through checks and plays legal or non-legal. They're going for, that D and Naz are both going for a loose puck sitting at the top of the crease, skating in there downhill as hard as they can go. And both guys go in there. They're both going after the puck the same way, and they collide before they go in. So, again, unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Same as Gerrard for me. That's a legal play, and, you know, it's unfortunate, but it is what it is. Yeah, obviously these guys are going to get their players' backs, of course. You know, Berube said, you know, goes to his reputation, and Bednar says, well, why does he bring up his reputation? It was a legal play. So I think that's par for the course with these guys defending their goalies.
Starting point is 00:34:41 As for the hit itself, I mean, we've seen a lot of goalies get bundled these playoffs so far. I can't look at that and say it was intentional based on all the other hits we've seen. Like, I know Kadri, he does have a reputation, but you can't conclusively look and say, oh, he did that on purpose. I mean, we've seen goalies get bundled all playoffs.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I mean, it sucks. Binnington, he had only allowed nine goals on 176 shots and start in game four versus many. 949 save percentage on an absolute heater. Looking like the goalie from a couple of years ago. And then as far as the Gerard hit to bed, not said he had no issue with it.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Didn't think it was dirty. Thought it was a clean legal hit. He had no issue at it as well. So I don't know. It just sucks, man, because obviously I got, I got a bet on St.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Louis plus three 20 for the series. So it's like, I mean, it's not up in smoke yet, but it just sucks because you know, it's not up in smoke yet, but it just sucks because, you know, it's going to be a less competitive series now, unless Huso can dial up his competitive level where he was back a few months ago. But first game wasn't so good, man. Results weren't so hot.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Going back to game two, Perron, just so clutch. He's unbelievable player. They take advantage of Makar coming in and and going back to Makar he ran into the post in game two definitely did not look like the Makar we know still better than 95 percent of defensemen in the league yeah but something's a little off right he had a great game three though unbelievable game three way more explosive offensively he uh you know they're they're pressing for a goal mind you they're down 2-1 in that game they win that offensive zone draw but because sometimes guys when you have these set plays off of offensive zone draws if there's a little delay in in the puck battle where it's
Starting point is 00:36:14 50-50 off the hop it throws off the uh the rhythm and he he got a bit of a shit sandwich thrown up to him along the wall as he's coming down it creates the two-on-one the other way and i think that kemper should have had it and i didn't think kemper had his best stuff in game two oh sorry edmonton just hit the post sorry go ahead jesus christ i just had a fucking jammer some i imagine a few people who are driving listening to this maybe we hit the rumble strips there so if you can fucking tone her down on the, on the celebrations here, Kemper probably wanted that third one back that prawn score that went underneath his glove, but a hell of a response by Kemper in game three. Now going to game three, salt in the wound,
Starting point is 00:36:57 cadre power, both, both, both teams, their execution in that game, that game had everything. Game three, easily the best game of playoffs so far, and I say this is the best series right now going in round two. He ends up tipping that puck in right after the power play ends. They garnered a ton of momentum on it. Both teams are snapping around on the peeps. And then he ends up setting up the eventual game winner where he puts it up the wall
Starting point is 00:37:25 beautiful play to leckanen and going back to huso just like i criticized kemper for it huso short side i think he was trying to read past their back door with byram activating as that net front defenseman and going down the ice to create that two-on-one he beats huso short side so right there that's the game. And I'm really, really interested to see not only Huso's response, but St. Louis' response. But usually teams take on the identity of their coach. And Berube, although ticked off, you know he's like,
Starting point is 00:37:59 guys, put it behind us. We've still got a series to win here. If you want to hit them where it hurts, you fucking take care of business on the ice. but what was the other last thing we uh we taught oh macar so you you think he's a bit banged up right now based on the first two games um he just didn't look like himself now the thing is it's it's kind of unfair to just discredit st louis and say they have nothing to do with slowing them down a little bit. But you mentioned like going into the post. And I mean, it's just it's just difficult as the playoffs go on.
Starting point is 00:38:31 It can't even it could be an injury that nobody even knows about. Something that happened so minor that just ends up killing you. And you're playing every other night. You're battling through it. And he's playing 30 minutes a night. But, you know, I wasn't able to see. I saw the 10 minute mini game of the Saturday night tilt in game three, but I didn't get to see it.
Starting point is 00:38:50 But you told me on the phone, like, he was back to his dominant self, just making the easy play and also just looking a little more smooth. Where he's so dominant is at the offensive blue line. If he gets a little bit of separation from that forward oftentimes he'll cock it and and be loaded to shoot it and as soon as he sees that forward freeze he can jolt one way or the other and he's so quick out of the gate that all of a sudden just with that forward stalling to respect the shot he's able to create enough separation to either open up a shot lane or a passing lane or in some cases enough room to
Starting point is 00:39:31 where he can legit just sneak in and get a better quality scoring chance on net in the slot area you saw one of them that he was maybe a little bit outside the house on the right side where he didn't have the best angle, but nonetheless, still a massive threat and definitely looked more like himself from the first round we saw against Nashville. So we're going to look forward to game four here. It's going to be going on tonight. There's a few big ones because we got Florida and Tampa in a back-to-back situation, which can close things out.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Now, R.A., I'm pretty much done on St. Louis and Colorado unless you had something else to say. I guess one more last note. Landeskog, he might be their best forward overall right now for the Colorado Avalanche. He's winning so many fucking puck battles. He is so good on retrievals, making the big plays when he has to.
Starting point is 00:40:26 He looks like he's worth every goddamn cent. Some of you were worried that they paid him. And in terms of him, Biz, this is why if you're able to have such a dominant regular season, he was able to get that knee surgery, right? You know, if you're a team fighting to get into the playoffs, he wouldn't have been able to do that. He got the knee surgery, probably feels so much better on the ice now. He's able to get the rest. He is more rested. Now, granted, you're coming off a surgery,
Starting point is 00:40:52 so it's not like you've been sitting around completely just resting up, but luckily for them and them getting ahead and all those points, and they didn't get the President's Trophy, but who gives a shit? He was able to get that surgery, and now he looks unreal. And he's a real leader too he's the leader of that team you can tell every single time he's on the ice look for Bo Byram to
Starting point is 00:41:10 step up he has been tremendous I know that he's in a maybe a little bit more of a backed up role where he can play underneath some of those defensemen that we've mentioned but in the absence of Gerard very similar type player where he can move the puck. He can get up ice. He's a great skater. He also defends well. I'm looking for this young buck to get going. And because of the physicality and everything going on,
Starting point is 00:41:37 I'm curious if Curtis McDermott gets in the lineup. That was a massive, massive signing. I play with this guy in Ontario with the rain. He is a fucking killer. Top five toughest guys in the league. And Joe Sackick did an incredible job to address toughness in the offseason. For these situations in particular, very interested to see if he draws in as that sixth defenseman now.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Quick warning. Edmonton's just going on the power play right now after a hook to Trevor Lewis so if I scream I scream all right if he dies he dies oh there's Jared Bednar did say either Jack Johnson Ryan Murray or Curtis McDermott was going to replace Gerard so we'll wait and see what happens there and also to piggyback on your point about all these assholes um saying racist shit to Cadre Peter Barr who covers the avalanche for the athletics said the avalanche organization is aware of threats made toward nazem cadre and is working with local law enforcement to investigate so he's a great reporter he was all over all the water bottle gate yeah he's he's can we get local law enforcement into who's sending tweets out with my pants

The Panthers had 35 shots on that visit. Didn't seem like it at all.
Starting point is 00:44:08 I mean, this team did not look desperate. I mean, they're about to go down 3-0. Season's about to go down the shitter. And they just didn't look like they were playing with any sort of desperation whatsoever. Corey Perry, man, fifth goal of the playoffs. He's tied for the team lead. Just keeps getting it done.
Starting point is 00:44:22 But we'll go to you first. What the fuck's up with Florida, man? Why, why are they so bad? Like why they look so awful. I think there's a couple of different things. Say, let's say three things jump out to me. They're all pretty obvious. The power play. Yeah. They got one today. Sam Reinhardt cut them on the board, but Holy shit. I mean, you start a playoff over 27 or whatever it was. It's it's just, there's no chance you're going to win.
Starting point is 00:44:48 It's just it's so important. It's so hard to get offense going five on five in this game now. And that's the one chance you have. And you have so much skill. You're a team who scored four goals a game in the regular season. And you just throw up an absolute donut through fucking what? Through eight games in the playoffs. They didn't score a goal.
Starting point is 00:45:06 It's just, it's so unacceptable. I can't believe how it went down in terms of the power play. Second thing being, I almost want an apology from all you, all you guys picked the Panthers, right? I picked the Panthers in five.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I had Tampa. Okay. I did. I picked the, I picked the Panthers, but I originally had Tampaa and i switched my all right so busy granelli can apologize to ra and myself blame me for fucking making you change your mind g i think you just do such a good job biz at convincing our listeners your points that
Starting point is 00:45:36 yes yes i will blame you but that's just because you're such a good analyst show hands play a little game at home everybody listening did you think not after shitting the bed on the power play in the first round and getting a little bit of a break, they would have made a couple of adjustments and one of the hottest power plays in the league all season long with as many guns as they have on that team, would they not have at least got the power play going among anything that happened in the first round? Show of hands.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Whit? Yeah, I thought their power play was going to get going, among anything that happened in the first round. Show of hands. Witt? Yeah, I thought their power play was going to get going, but let me say this, dude. It took them until game three to throw Hornquist in front of the net. The guy's been in front of the net on the power play what seems like 15 years in the NHL. Finally, they throw him out there. They get a goal.
Starting point is 00:46:19 And listen, they could have tied that game up today. They're down 2-1, and Hornquist makes a difference in front. Waxway, it ends up going to Huberto. Wide open net. Ryan McDonough. The shaft of his stick. And that goes back to the point when I kind of interrupted myself and looking for an apology from the Panthers pickers.
Starting point is 00:46:37 This Tampa Bay team, guys, what did I say? I got a DM from Stephen Camp for our buddy, former Bruin, longtime pro. You're a genius. You said never bet against Tampa. You don't fuck with this team. They don't even have Braden Point and they're doing this. And what is amazing is Toronto took them to the limit. Toronto had them.
Starting point is 00:46:57 They had them fucking this close. And this team, they're champions. They every single detail, dude. They block shots. They get pucks out. They get on the defensive side. They do what it takes to win. They sacrifice their body.
Starting point is 00:47:12 The list goes on and on. They're fast. They're strong. They're mean. They're tough. It is such a difficult team to play against that the Panthers, who made it look pretty difficult against a weak Washington team, Washington, maybe they played better than we thought.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Maybe Florida just isn't that good. Maybe Florida had no chance in the playoffs with the roster they assembled, which is shocking on the season they had. But Tampa Bay, dude, I mean, how much can you say about one team? They don't even have their best player. And what happens? Kucherov steps up. He's looked phenomenal. And my biggest point, back to not my biggest point, but the third one I'll say, we got off these airwaves Wednesday night and I was fuming,
Starting point is 00:47:51 fuming at an Edmonton Oilers defenseman who decided to leave the front of the net, jump to the back of the net, and all of a sudden leave the front wide open for an easy Calgary Flames goal. Oh my God. And Mackenzie Wieger in game two. They've played a pretty solid game. It's 1-1. You've got this team. You're going to overtime. 20 seconds, whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:48:14 And for no reason, he leaves the front. And you're not just leaving the front to maybe go to a fourth liner as the puck. And even then, it wouldn't make sense. It's Nikita Kucherov who does this beautiful shoulder check as the puck's even then it wouldn't make sense it's nikita kucherov who does this beautiful shoulder check as the pucks rimming along the wall and he looks and sees wieger leave for no reason a wieger what a season he had he's a great player he's gonna make a ton of money but oh what's he doing kucherov makes a sick dish that ross colton said i saw it was him i knew i was getting it and he buries it far down and you're're sitting there. I was sitting there.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I gasped. I sent out a tweet. The tweet made no sense. Oh, my God. Series over. Oh, my God. What just happened? I can't believe what just happened.
Starting point is 00:48:52 It is amazing to think of that kind of mental mistake. Last minute in a game in a second round playoff series. Never leave the front of that. And it was right after we said it the next evening, excuse me. So it's been a comical list of errors for this Panthers team. And in the end, you look at Kucherov, Vasilevsky, and Hedman, and these fucking guys know how to win. What else is there to say?
Starting point is 00:49:18 Well, first of all, great breakdown. And before I talk about the Florida Fugazis, and I will decrown the Rangers as being the Fugazis because the real Fugazis are in the south of Florida. Let me pull out my hotel lotion here. Put them on both hands. Put the fucking lotion in the basket. Let me put on some mascara and just stroke this Tampa Bay Lightning team off
Starting point is 00:49:44 with both my wrists and a little... They already have two rings, these guys, this core group. What we saw in game seven, the third period, them laying out and blocking shots, they have brought it over to the second round and completely put their lives on the line in order to win another series against what we thought,
Starting point is 00:50:09 or at least I thought, was a superior team. Let's start in net. Vasilevsky, since that game, game seven, allowed one goal. Game one against Florida, allowed one goal. Game two, one goal. Game three, one goal. Game three, one goal. You can't beat him. He is a fucking alien from outer space.
Starting point is 00:50:30 You cannot convince me otherwise. He is locked and loaded. I want to first apologize to him for doubting him and the fact that I thought that the Panthers were going to beat them in five. In five, folks. Five. The back end.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Seven guys. Koop's gone with seven defensemen the entire series I was a little shocked I I know wit and you know what I'll throw it back over to you I hated going seven defensemen hated it when you're a d-man it's the worst thing in the world but these guys it seems like they're just so dialed thriving on it it's like mcdonough mcdonough cernak and headman and then the rest of the four are kind of you know what i mean then you got sergachev who uh by the way on the route of play when he cleared out the goal line he had three guys on his side of the net they're laying out blocking shots you mentioned mcdonough stick in the lane with the wide open net for huberdo you saw tonight when vasileski didn't see that shot coming in from the point in game three
Starting point is 00:51:29 he ends up blocking it with his knee the the attention to detail that this tampa bay lightning team has right now is fucking nuts you you would think that florida would have it considering they haven't won jack shit no the champs came to play. And as far as the guys up front, not only is it the Malkin Sid type situation where you have point, you have Kucherov. Two of the most dynamic offensive players in the world. Well, it's sure as shit. It's hard to cover both of them. Well, when one goes down, you're like, oh, well, now a lot of the focus is going to be on Kucherov.
Starting point is 00:52:07 He has elevated his game. Even after going through the flu game six and seven, he's been the best forward in the series, bar none. Making every play, the key moments, shifting over to Florida on the eventual backbreaker, the Stamkos goal, the third goal in game three. Horrible fucking change. They beat four guys with one pass up the ice. He comes inside the blue line, shimmy shakes a little bit, slides it right over in Stamkos' breadbasket. He ain't
Starting point is 00:52:38 fucking missing that one timer. Stamkos, game two. Hey, Bob almost had it too. Got to show him a Bob. Hasn't been an issue at all. That was a question mark. No Stamkos three times. He went down the tunnel in game two from blocking shots and laying his body on the line to Stanley cups already still doing it. And then you go, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:59 I can't switch over to Florida yet. Cause I'm not done stroking guys off. You talked about the depth. Who are the leading goal scorers for the Tampa Bay lightning right now with five a piece, Ross Colton and Corey Perry. What did Corey Perry cost you in the off season? A million bucks. You know how many people thought this guy had no game left? Ryan Callahan tweeted out like, wow, a bunch of GMs are just shaking their heads. How much would he have helped them? You don't think Florida could use them?
Starting point is 00:53:27 Only good teams, right? Like, you know, if you're a team that knew you were going to struggle, it doesn't make sense. But if you're looking to win a cup, bring them in for the fourth line, power play. Look what he's doing. How about Paul? How about Nick Paul early in that game getting hit in the corner?
Starting point is 00:53:40 You know what it looked like? It looked like a grade one AC, maybe a grade two AC separation. Right back out the tunnel, battling it out right to the final whistle. I'm going to go over to Florida now. Pathetic. Pathetic. Nobody's making plays. Nobody's sacrificing.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Nobody's blocking shots. The power play is dog shit. They're a one-trick pony. Three goals for the best offense in the national hockey league so far in these playoffs against a team that had to go seven that lost their best player all the hockey that they've played you think that florida would have the energy in the balls to be able to lay out and block some fucking shots they have no offensive rhythm their feng shui is completely off they are all out of whack once again to the tampa bay fans my apologies i'm putting on the clown nose after i've done giving you the fucking deep throat special my fucking wrists or i get the casts on bravo to the fucking tampa bay lightning
Starting point is 00:54:41 my apologies i'm a clown all. Sorry for getting so emotional here. And if they can close this out tonight, I mean, oh, the rest for the injuries. You know, these guys are all battling injuries. A little more time for point. It's just I now granted we have no idea if point even has a chance of coming back. But wow. The fact that they go up three nothing in this after what they went through
Starting point is 00:55:03 in the first round is shocking. And Edmonton's going back to the power play. The one thing I will say, Carter Verhege, I call him Carl. He must be hurt. Definitely he's got to be hurt. The only reason that Florida got out of the first round was because he showed up. That game where they went down 3-0, where they would have went down three, one in the series. He had five points in that one. If he didn't show up in that game,
Starting point is 00:55:32 they were going home because we have not seen the Huberto. We have not seen the Barkov that we have seen from the regular season. And I think they're both top tier top. I think they're both top 15 to 20 players in the entire world, but playoff hockey has them right now by the gonads and it won't let go. Yeah. And today's game, Paul,
Starting point is 00:55:55 uh, Huberto, Bokov and Jerome were combined minus 10. I know people could give a take plus minus, but it's pretty significant to have three guys combined minus 10. Uh, also, uh,
Starting point is 00:56:04 there were no lineup changes after the, of a no-show in game one. I know Merle's mentioned that, like, they really made no adjustments. They didn't do any lineup change. You would have thought maybe inject some sort of new blood, maybe even throw Joe Thornton out there. For the power play specifically? That too. And it just, again, like what I mentioned before,
Starting point is 00:56:21 Tampa has a pretty distinct advantage coaching-wise, and that's not a distorted brunette. He's new to the game. And I think we're seeing this play, play and playing out in this series, right? You know what, all right.
Starting point is 00:56:31 You know what Coop said before the series, he says, it's not about what's going on, like on the ice and, and, and skill wise out there. It's more about what's going on between the years. And I don't know what type of mental torpedo he was throwing over to the
Starting point is 00:56:45 Florida team when he said that, but it fucking landed. And it is the, the mind torpedo has exploded and the other side is shook. Um, and back to Vasilevsky and you talked about the, the, the, the changes in game three, um, they did end up having that Mammon, the kid from Moscow, Russia, Russia,
Starting point is 00:57:07 who had a pretty decent regular season, big body. He had a breakaway at the start of that game and Vasilevsky stopped them. And then I think it was either Reinhardt or Bennett. I want to say Reinhardt right in front of the net early on wide open on a pizza in the middle of the ice. And he had a crack at it and he stood tall in order to keep the minute early on to give that team the confidence so one other thing that
Starting point is 00:57:30 we missed on the the colorado st louis game was did you think that that play was offside the first goal by o'connor when he jumped in the air yeah i was very surprised that i did that very definitely did challenge it but what's weird is like so many people were saying because i was very surprised that i did that very definitely did challenge it but what's weird is like so many people were saying because i was on like kind of twitter and they're like for them not to challenge it it's almost like they knew right i i feel i'm just surprised we can't get a a blue line angle there like why can't we get the angle of the blue line you see it in so many situations when there are off sides but in this one you couldn't get the proper angle so you would never actually know whether the puck was still before the blue line uh before or excuse me after that O'Connor had entered the zone so
Starting point is 00:58:18 I know I jumped around a little bit there but anyway just just a chaotic chaotic uh start to this series for the florida fans no doubt speaking of chaotic the oilers just outshot the flames 20 to 7 in the first period the game was the game's insane mcdavid's flying around he could have four points markstrom's made some big saves so sorry we need it we needed uh we needed him to figure it out all right before we get to the next series the nhl playoffs are here and on top of that it's bachelor party season so the drinks are flowing so make sure you wake up feeling your best with no days wasted they've got the ultimate vitamin for when you drink it's called dhm detox biz hit it what do you mean the vitamin for people that drink oh yeah you know the drill the all natural supplement that breaks down the toxins of the alcohol before they get to your liver this

The Rangers got themselves right back into the series with a 3-1 win on Sunday at MSG. Igor Shostakhin stopped 43 of 44 shots to backbone the victory. Carolina, 6-0 at home, now 0-4 on the road. Anthony Ranto's great.
Starting point is 01:01:38 He stopped 30 of 32 shots, but the Rangers needed this win. They got it done. Biz, let's go. I know your favorite fan base in the world. Can I say quickly one thing, Biz? Yep. Just quickly, Biz. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Starting point is 01:01:51 It's not 0-4 on the road, yes. They were horrific in all three games on the road against Boston. They played fucking great today. They did. They played. Shostakhin was an animal. I just wanted to say that. That was a game where I think Brindamore's in the locker room like,
Starting point is 01:02:07 boys, we don't have issues on the road anymore. Yeah, we haven't won, but that was an animal I just wanted to say that that was a game where I think Brindamore's in the locker room like boys we don't have issues on the road anymore yeah we haven't won but that was an effort yeah and um I guess we've already talked about game one in which Capococco could have sealed but didn't because you know they're fugazis not the original fugazis now they're the second tier fugazis um I guess when you talk about Carolina, you could talk about Antti Ranta and what he's done, able to bounce back from injury. I know I've been critical of the fact of he can't stay healthy, but he has, and that's huge. And he's been making some 10-bell saves post-to-post, one of the best goalies in the league as far as his athleticism. But you also, with that, much like we did with Tampa credit the overall defensive game they allowed the fewest amount of goals all season long because of the way they play in their own end
Starting point is 01:02:51 they all play as a five-man unit they there's no hesitation to their game they know exactly what their duties are and they close on you and they pin you and get the puck stopped and retrieve it and make a play to get out of their zone in no time. And they did that in both home games. And that's why they only allowed one goal. Shout out to Brendan Smith. And I know some of you Fugazi Ranger fans were like, you don't even know the whole story.
Starting point is 01:03:18 You put Brendan Smith on waivers and I get that he ended up spending the rest of his time in the organization and up with the team, but one man's trash is another man's treasure. And he fucking made you pay for the disrespect you showed him in game two by scoring on a shorthanded goal on your shitty Fugazi power play, which I told you, remember I told them with, I complimented Crider on his regular season and how many power play goals which I told you, remember I told them with, I complimented Kreider on his regular
Starting point is 01:03:45 season and how many power play goals he scored. I said, they had a wonderful power play in the regular season, but it would dry up like a nun's cunt. And it has, and they gave one up in game two and it ended up being the game winner. And I couldn't be happier about it. Why? Why? Because they're fugazis And congratulations to them. They hung their goalie, Shosturkin, out to dry again, and he was able to collect it. And you know what? I want you to roll the clip of the, what do you call the guy,
Starting point is 01:04:16 the translator. He can't speak fluent English. And I really want to commend Shosturkin on his post-game comments about pumping up the fans' tires about the energy that they provided him. I'd honestly like to thank the fans for the energy they provided. They supported me, even though I kind of let them down in that one spot. But the energy at MSG is always great. They're always charged up, and I can't thank them more for that.
Starting point is 01:04:42 I mean, buddy. Well said, Igor. Holy fuck. You know, it makes me not want to taunt him, but I still will. I'm going to be doing that every game from here on out at a chance that he gets in his head, but it probably won't because he's an elite goaltender. But as we know that overall team and how much they like to give up those high-danger scoring chance, they're going to hang them out to dry.
Starting point is 01:05:08 It's just a matter of time. So the only other real thing I want to say about the entire series is that they need to figure out a way to win on the road. Pivotal game four, get one there, and then close it out at home. And you said, you said, Jan said that they probably will never lose another home game for the remainder of this run. That's coming out of an NHL or who has played there and understands how
Starting point is 01:05:33 hostile that environment is. So shout out to them. I don't know what happened at the end of the game with Max Domi. I didn't catch it. I was down grabbing a steamer. I saw it. He gave Lindgren a really hard cross check as the buzzer went off.
Starting point is 01:05:48 But for Gallant to be that upset after, Lindgren then ragdolled him. He gave a shot that was maybe a little unnecessary. He's pissed off that he's lost. But after that, it just became kind of a wrestling match. Lindgren slammed him down.
Starting point is 01:06:03 And I guess it just really upset Gallant enough to bring it up and almost give the quiet threat of like, yo, we got number 75 in our locker room. We'll punch anyone's head in. So you want to fucking play that game, we'll play that game. But if you see the clip,
Starting point is 01:06:17 it wasn't like, I think if you see Gallant's conference, press conference, you'll think, and then you'll see the video, you'll be like, oh, that wasn't even that bad. Well, let's roll the clip from the press conference, you'll think, and then you'll see the video, you'll be like, oh, that wasn't even that bad. Well, let's roll the clip from the press conference.
Starting point is 01:06:27 You didn't seem too happy at the end with the angel. No, I wasn't happy with the bulls**t at the end of the game that they initiated. We didn't do that when the games were close. They put their guys on, that's fine. If they want to play like that, we got the guys that can match up. It was pretty standard in the playoffs, though. Did you believe in that at all?
Starting point is 01:06:46 I don't like it at the end of the game. The game's over. We've still got four games to go with those guys. They're not sending any messages. We've got the guy that can handle all their guys if we want to. We didn't do it like that, but they only took a cheap shot of their defenseman.
Starting point is 01:07:02 You've got a long memory in this. you think about things and like I said might be on the other foot someday so now if you can go watch the video I mean Domi gave a shot I think it's the end of a playoff game I think Gallant's main point was we didn't do any of that at the end of the games we lost um my question for Rangers fans and for everyone watching this series is Panarin's obviously injured right I? I mean, it's a Benajan. It's a Benajan. Crider were catching a little heat this series.
Starting point is 01:07:28 They both scored today. Criders was a snipe. Amazingly, Crider missed a wide open net to seal the game. I was with, and there was still two minutes and 10 seconds of, I said, oh my God, I would have gave up my first, first born child that they would have lost that game. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:07:41 If they, if he would have missed that and they would have came back and tied it, it would have been the capo caco special yeah so he snipes one bar down in the first period and then he like can't hit a wide open net it was crazy but they couldn't get the equalizer but panarin wow i mean he's not making anything happen he has to be injured i mean I mean, the way he's played in the regular season and what he's done in the playoffs, there's just no other answer for it. Would you agree? Their kid line's been the best overall line this playoffs, I would say. And I know I was just chirping Capo Caco,
Starting point is 01:08:16 but I think him, Hedl, and Lafreniere have been their overall, their most consistent line. R.A., anything that you got on this series? Just Gallant and Tony D going at it at the end of the game. Like, go fuck yourself. They were having a big old fuck you match. Oh, were they? Going back and forth.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Oh, yeah. Yeah, they were telling each other, go fuck yourselves, going back and forth. It was a pretty animated discussion between the two of them. Well, I mean, the crowd was giving it the fuck you tony fuck you tony and that's one of the storylines coming to this one and i know i joked about this going to five or excuse me this going to uh ending it in four and then him leaving a cleveland steamer on the logo at center ice maybe at this at this point it might actually be a
Starting point is 01:09:04 reality the amount that they hate each other between New York Rangers fans maybe even the organization and Tony Giangelo so this is a a great backup storyline to the overall series itself R.A. Oh absolutely it's it's great drama I mean I'm I'm obviously hoping you know I don't want I'm not rooting for the Rangers but you obviously want a six or seven game series I mean I'd like to see it go as far as it can. What do you got for us, G? I want the Rangers. I think the Rangers is good for us.
Starting point is 01:09:29 I think it's good for the NHL. It ain't good for biz. It ain't good for biz, but it's good for t-shirt sales too. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Oh, here we fucking go. There's always a fucking angle with DJs up there in the top left. Hey, sold.
Starting point is 01:09:45 I'm going to buy them all. I'm going to bring them to Times Square, and I'm going to fucking burn them. And then I'm going to have Tony D'Angelo drop the Cleveland Steamer on them before he leaves town. Fucking Rangers fans. Bunch of Fugazis. Oh, and yeah, fake Gretzky. I'll wear your jersey on the next broadcast.
Starting point is 01:10:05 And speaking of Gretzky, though, he was actually at game three. So he probably. Singing the Beatles with Janet. Was he? Oh, the goat. Yeah, one of the breaks, they were just. I think it was, I'm a believer. Like the song from Shrek.
Starting point is 01:10:18 Is that a Beatles song, R.A.? I thought that was Smash Mouth. I'm a believer. That's the monkey, right? It is. Oh, my God. It's a Smash Mouth. I'm a believer that's the monkeys, right? It is. Oh, my God. It's a Smash Mouth song, I just said. Oh.
Starting point is 01:10:28 I actually think the Beatles honestly like Smash Mouth, though. I can't stand the Beatles music. I don't like any of their songs. I like maybe one of their songs. Wayno had the Canadian tuxedo on, too. What a legend. Dude, one time for Brian Yandel's bachelor party, Fairway Falls. This was when we were young.
Starting point is 01:10:43 Yandel got married when he was 12. We went to Vegas. It was everyone's first trip to Vegas. And we were talking about what we were going to do. And Foles was like, guys, guys, I got the first night planned. And he's 100% serious. He's like, Smash Mouth's playing at our hotel. It'll be unreal. We'll catch that
Starting point is 01:10:59 concert and then go out. We were like, it was like when the car comes screeching to a halt in like a group chat tell me the world is hey now i'm an all-star get your game on go play smash mouth came to plymouth state though and after they played a concert they came to my house and partied all night they were uh they're rinsed yeah oh yeah and they were also trying to get us to to drive art across the country for them they were super they're rinsed yeah oh yeah and they were also trying to get us to to drive art across the country for them they were super super weird guys damn um all right boys could
Starting point is 01:11:33 have never guessed that for everyone listening we're going to put this in can we go watch the second and third yes all right so we're going to catch the end of this. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I almost forgot. I almost forgot. Rangers fans were complaining because they limited tickets at PNC Arena for games one and two in Carolina. Okay. For what? Out of town fans?
Starting point is 01:12:02 I guess people from New York State. For what? Out of town fans? I guess people from New York State. So this obnoxious asshole lady with a cowbell shows up wearing an NYPD hat. The Rangers post this lady to their social media. She's all happy having a gay old time. Sure as shit. Life comes at you fast you see a carolina hurricanes fan with a photo of a sign that says i'm with stupid it's directed at her can i pray you're you're posting this clip right now and people can see it and she's standing up with her obnoxious
Starting point is 01:12:42 self pointing at the lady with the sign. And then next thing you know, she's getting the na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Goodbye. Get out of our arena. He gets pigeon tossed. By the way, you go to into solitary confinement if you bring a cowbell to a game especially on the road so she does the loser walk up the stairs
Starting point is 01:13:16 in on the concourse she decides to throw the only body check that the team had done all night because they were hemmed in their own fucking defensive zone try to chase the carolina hurricanes around because they're fucking liability in their own end and they throw the cuffs on her and she's probably still in the clink so that's why they don't want you down there you guys are pathetic let's go hurricanes let's go Kate! Let's go Kate! Canes at five. It's fucking hilarious, bitch. She's got an NYPD hat on, and then she fucking commits assault and battery on a police officer

And we're coming to you fresh off of game three, and it was the Evander Kane show in Edmonton as the mid-season pickup had a natural hat trick in six minutes in the second period of a four to one Oilers win and they now lead the series two
Starting point is 01:15:10 to one Kane now has 10 playoff goals leads the NHL of course McDavid three assists unbelievable six goals 17 assists in 10 games he has 23 points right now it would have led the NHL playoff scoring in 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2019. He's played 10 friggin' games. He's also the first player in NHL history with nine multi-point games within the first 10 contests of a single postseason. This guy's rewriting
Starting point is 01:15:35 the books. We're going to go to you in a second. I thought it was a horrible call on Milan Lucic. They called him charging. I don't know if Calgary was going to come back or not, but that cut them off at the knees. Any chance they had of coming back? Bullshit call. I thought it kind of... They weren't coming back. Well, they definitely weren't after that, but let's go to you, Mr.
Starting point is 01:15:51 Oyla. What do you got for us, buddy? Wow. Wow is all I can say. Biz, let me tell everyone at home. Biz just said, Hey,
Starting point is 01:16:08 I think I'm going to let you take the Edmonton Calgary series. You think, you think biz it's an absolute drumming. The last two games, biz just said, guys, Hey, gee,
Starting point is 01:16:18 I saved my, my recording from the first half of the show. I'm a step ahead of the game biz. I already saved mine and sent it to him to, to, to fix the podcast. That's how ahead of Edmonton, Calgary is. And me ahead of you right now. You got that shaved head, middle of the shaved head on national TV, TNT. You're going to look like a fool.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Connor McDavid right now. Biz, even you, you're over there just dreaming of having a player like that. I need to shave the top of my head. If only I had a Conor McDavid. Game two started off horrifically. Not as bad as game one, but either way, bad start. Two-nothing. What does McDavid do?
Starting point is 01:17:03 One hand behind the net gives it out to Duncan Keith. We're back in the game. And Duncan Keith, at times during the year, did he struggle? Yeah. You know, he's getting older, not his best season. This is why you bring in Duncan Keith. Because you believe
Starting point is 01:17:20 you can get into the playoffs and you have a guy with three Stanley Cups and gold medals up the cornhole. And that's why. And all of a sudden, this guy's playing unreal. McDavid starts that play. Then maybe the play of the playoffs. I'm an Oilers fan. McDavid making Zdorov look like Whitney circa, I don't know, 2010 to 2014, maybe 1993 even to 2000 when I retired. He made Zdorov look like a scrub and then gives it to Keith with just the sickest give and go
Starting point is 01:17:57 you've ever seen. And boom, we're right back in the game. I don't know what you're going to do because this was the whole goal. The Oilers, right? It was a struggle. It was a question mark. Mike Smith, Biz, you actually always said you believed in him. He's now in a groove. And we were just like, just get us in. And we have McDavid. Who the, you can, McDavid could just win the cup. Right now you have no answers. Your team looks flat. Your team looks weak.
Starting point is 01:18:29 Your team looks pathetic, really, in the last, what, game and a half? Maybe two. Yeah, not the whole game, too. That's five periods. We own your ass. And I don't really know where you go from here because Markstrom's struggling. You know, that's your man, right? But you're kind of panicked. Like, this is our Vezna style, you know, type goalie.
Starting point is 01:18:46 I don't know. Goudreau and Kachuk and those guys. I don't know, buddy. I don't know. So I know one thing. You're nervous. And I tweeted, you're shaking in your boots. Use boots from when you bought a piece of leather,
Starting point is 01:19:00 old pleather boots from Carl from Calgary in the parking lot of the Stampede. You still wear these fucking things too you're shaking in those boots and i can just tell looking at you don't know what your team's gonna do mind you folks sunday may 22nd paul bissonette he wants the rangers lose he wants the panthers lose he He really needs the Flames. Loss. So talk to me about your Dave. I didn't want the Rangers, you fucking idiot. I wanted Carolina.
Starting point is 01:19:31 So you misspoke, you dumbass. I would have crushed the whole thing, Grinelli. I don't know why the Calgary Flames decided that they wanted to play pawn hockey with the Edmonton Oilers from the start of this series. I thought that game one was a shit show, and I thought they would have learned their lesson.
Starting point is 01:19:49 I am – hey, listen, I've never been a head coach before. I would have been nervous as shit and probably pulled Markstrom at the end of the second period come game one. But, hey, Sutter made the right call. He stuck with him. They tied up the game a minute into the third period, and then they come storming back and finally win that game i'm like oh you laid you laid a hot steaming pile of dog shit and you got out alive then game two boom boom two goal lead in the first period they're
Starting point is 01:20:18 fucking laughing all of a sudden backland he gets a half break away and he over stick and bobbles it and I said, motherfucker. The minute that he over bobbled that, I said, oh no. I said, we're going to find ourselves in a game one type of situation. We're going to try to go back to playing Edmonton Oilers hockey. Up and down the ice. High flying. Turn over
Starting point is 01:20:39 here. Mismanaging the puck there. The lack of details to Calgary's game compared to the regular season, it is mind-numbing from a fan perspective. And when I say a fan perspective, I watched a ton of Leafs games and I watched a ton of Calgary games. I don't understand why they're trying to defend McDavid and dry side all the way they're doing it. They don't have many other guys on the deeper lines.
Starting point is 01:21:09 I think that Edmonton has a vulnerable backend. I questioned Mike Smith, although he's playing like the Mike Smith that I saw when we made our run to the conference finals, where he's got all the confidence in the world. You could just tell by his fucking beady eyes and net through those cat eyes and his goalie mask then they get up 3-1 in game two and then right back to mcdavid he ends up scoring that goal sorry dry sidle scored the goal and we got to get into this conversation it was a
Starting point is 01:21:37 bit of a shit show with all the the disallowed goals i thought that edmonton got hosed in the first one edmonton got hosed because the puck wasn't froze between Markstrom having his paddle on it and Mark Stone or excuse me, Mike Stone. Is it Mike Stone? In the crease. And they pull it back so it's still the 3-1 lead.
Starting point is 01:21:58 And then McDavid gets the goal disallowed in which Dreisaitl ended up following up when McDavid did run into the goal in Markstrom. He did run into him and it was the proper call. Yeah. Once I saw the replay, I, I, I, but no less than a minute later.
Starting point is 01:22:14 And this is my issue with the Calgary's back end right now, which I loved all season long, big, strong, commanded the front of the net. Didn't give up a ton of high quality scoring chances. What the fuck is adorov thinking, lunging at McDavid the way that he did? Just contain him. Put your stick out, keep a stick length,
Starting point is 01:22:33 allow him to move that puck, and then try to drive the net, and then contain him there. He lunges at him, falls over with his big, dumb Whitney feet, and then McDavid beats him to the net, and then has all the time in the world to fucking walk that in and just slide it around Markstrom.
Starting point is 01:22:48 And then as the Branson's trying to lunge in from the minute, that goal that was let in, I knew they were going to lose that fucking game. I think I even tweeted it out and then to come out and have the performance that they did, not only after giving up that first goal in game three, the game and puck management by Coleman on that second goal as he crosses over the offensive blue line once again it's right back to why the fuck are you trying to play pond hockey against the best pond hockey player team in the league if you give McDavid and Dreisaitl that type of time and space and you don't want to manage the puck appropriately,
Starting point is 01:23:27 they're going to shove it right up your hoop as they did. And listen, all the credit to Evander Kane for having the playoffs that he has had, two hat tricks now, but buddy, I could have scored those fucking goals playing with the dishes that McDavid was feeding them over. Forehand, backhand, right in the back of the the net and given with what markstrom did all season long i and and the fact that sutter's as stubborn as he is i assume that he's going back to markstrom in game four but if we see the same type of performance and listen he had a great first period but as far
Starting point is 01:24:02 as positioning wise maybe a little bit fish out of water and really not the markstrom we saw all season long can we agree on that despite how many shots were on net and maybe how much he was hung out to dry based on shots not the markstrom we've seen all season long so give him the net in game four but if they manage the puck and they play the way they have so far in this series, regardless if they won game one or not, they are going to lose in five games to the Edmonton Oilers and McJesus and crew. Okay, Biz, can I ask you one question?
Starting point is 01:24:38 Sure, sure. This is not the Calgary we saw in the regular season. Okay, that's kind of my question. They are playing down to Edmonton standards. Florida North? Florida North. They are a shell of what they were in the regular season. They were, I believe, first in the league at how many shots they allowed per game.
Starting point is 01:24:58 23.9 shots per game they allowed. I will agree that Carolina had the better overall team defense and allowed the least amount of goals. But as far as shots allowed and quality scoring chances allowed, Calgary was easily in the top three overall in all defensive numbers. What we're seeing now is a team that has completely lost their mind. I love Kachuk. He needs to fuck off with the Ev with the evander kane chirping shit
Starting point is 01:25:27 fuck off well what's he gonna say now because kane just lit him up for a natural we got calgary flames fans dumping money over the glass trying to taunt kane to leave him alone let him sleep it ain't working he's dummying you so i'm disgusted let me ask you sure ask me a question i'm having a meltdown yeah panthers uh fugazis a little bit and um i don't know though if it's more do we give credit to tampa the same way i'm gonna say calgary may want to play their style hockey defensive hockey limit the chances take advantage of turn, basically how they work over Edmonton every time they play him in the regular season, it felt like the past few years.
Starting point is 01:26:12 I think with McDavid at this level, he's breaking down their entire team. That's fine. But listen, the line that's on the ice is getting out chance. It doesn't matter right now. Like, this is what this guy is. You know, you got NHL players texting each other, talking like, what the fuck are we watching out here? Right. We've seen some legendary runs in the playoffs.
Starting point is 01:26:35 And it's only how many times tonight of all. Hold on. It's only three games in the second round. But what he's doing is so outer worldly. It's so impressive that he's crushing the five guys on the ice for calgary right and all of a sudden dude that game's just flowing right so the next line that comes out you're exchanging chances they're getting power plays all of a sudden they're getting more momentum so the way mcdavid's playing it he's literally fucking the entire flames game plan up on his own. Okay, I'll say one thing.
Starting point is 01:27:06 All praise to McJesus. Out of the way. Three things on the Calgary side. Discipline. Absolute dog shit discipline. They're getting in a pissing contest. Even when they have these leads, they're just playing like fucking buffoons, okay?
Starting point is 01:27:22 When you have McDavid and Dreisaitl on the ice, your game plan, regardless of who on the ice it should be, you want to play in the offensive zone below the goal line and not feed into their transition. Enough with the high-risk type of passes and turning it over, and then all of a sudden you have this massive amount of gap in space so he can wind it up. And listen, Calgary, other than Chillington,
Starting point is 01:27:46 does not have a mobile back end. What makes Calgary good defensively is paying us a five-man unit, and they ain't fucking doing that right now. And on top of that, when you are defending McDavid and Dreisaitl, and even though Dreisaitl, like we talked about his straight down the ice speed, it's pretty good given the fact that he's got an ankle injury he's actually looking better and better he's looking better and better like it wasn't that serious which is scaring me even more you need to you need to defend him
Starting point is 01:28:14 skating forward you can't just fucking back up i talked to rick talking about it and he said like he's like yo listen like i i understand that like you know we you know we didn't have a fucking juggernaut the one year they ended up going to the bubble and beating nashville and then they i think they lost in five games to to colorado they ended up sneaking out one win because dark darcy kemper fucking played out of his mind but he said biz i had a winning record against edmonton because i understood how you had to defend mc. And they did it last year with Winnipeg. They did it too. And I'm not saying he's playing to the same standards last year.
Starting point is 01:28:52 I'm not saying it's the same team either. What I'm saying is they're playing him like a fucking buffoon. So they're making it far easier for McJesus in order to do what he can do on another scale. They're feeding into that. So I'm going to comment down here. We should probably throw it over to R.A., but the way that they're playing their game compared to the regular season,
Starting point is 01:29:14 they're playing like morons. And I'll tell you what, if Sutter doesn't have any adjustments, they're fucked. They're going to lose this series in five games if they play exactly the way they've been playing. They are playing like bozos. Bozos. I hear that anger.
Starting point is 01:29:34 All right, my question for you. Oh, quick shout out, Zach Hyman. Talk about what you're thinking when you sign the guy. He is, that goal in game two, the breakaway to break. A breakaway. 3-3 gets a fucking breakaway.
Starting point is 01:29:49 Short-handed game winner. And he's barred down. He looks great. My question for you, R.A. Yeah. Give me recent or in your lifetime playoff performances like this that you can relate to what McDavid's doing. Lemieux and Gretzky.
Starting point is 01:30:03 I mean, yeah. Literally, those are the only two to come to mind. that you can relate to what McDavid's doing. Lemieux and Gretzky. I mean, yeah. How crazy is that to say? Two to come to mind. I mean, it's obscene. I mean, Biz, we were kind of on the same wavelength the other night. You were on TNT, and you said, we're seeing another Wayne Gretzky. You gave some great words for him.
Starting point is 01:30:18 And I tweeted out, it might have been the same night, I said, what a goddamn game. I said, enjoy this now, folks. I'm like, we're watching the best in the planet build his legacy in real time. And it's's a privilege it's like when i was younger man larry bird played with like i was a dumb teenager i didn't appreciate it as it was happening no something's different like you just know like this is greatness as in real time like this kid is there's no one like him since fucking 99 and 66 we're playing and we're getting to see
Starting point is 01:30:42 it and like that's why i want him to win mean, it's not about being an oilers fan. It's about being a McDavid fan. It's about wanting to see the best in the planet at the highest level, trying to win the title, man. Like if you're watching hockey, you, how do you not root for this kid to get to the fucking finals,
Starting point is 01:30:56 man? And I got goosebumps. I got goosebumps today thinking of like the NHL and having McKinnon and McDavid facing off to go to the cup. I think it's going to happen. I'm not confident at all. I think Edmonton is going to win this. But I was so not confident after game one.
Starting point is 01:31:11 And that's why as, as, as cocky as I'm being right now, it's still like, it's the, the, the, the swings,
Starting point is 01:31:16 the swings as a fan in the playoff. Like I've played, I never would say since I played in the NHL, I've, I've been really a fan of any particular team. I root for my friends, but I like when the Bruins are doing good, living in Boston, you're going to games. It's exciting in the city.
Starting point is 01:31:33 But this is my year as a fan of the Oilers. RA, it's like after every game, this highest of highs, and then you lose the next one. It's the lowest of lows. It's just now, granted, I have my ear and a disgusting earring. By the way, my mom said to me tonight, she's over. She's like, you can just get the fake earring. I'm like, do you know what would happen to me
Starting point is 01:31:51 if they ended up found out that it wasn't even a legitimate earring? Clip on. I'd be booted off the internet forever. So it's exciting. It's crazy. The plays tonight, I mean, the other thing about McDavid, like tonight was the same, the same instance in the first period, he could have like six, six more points, all these games.
Starting point is 01:32:12 There's actually like grade eight chances that, I mean, Marshall's making saves or guys are blocking shots. It's like, he has the puck. He's cutting back and forth through everyone. Stop and going, turning on a dime. There's actually nothing. It doesn't matter what anyone does. They can't stop stop him and even when you seem to angle him off the boards he's chucking like a backhander through a defender's legs all of a sudden to create a two on one somewhere else it's it's out of this world it's it's it's very very enjoyable to watch right
Starting point is 01:32:38 now i'll summarize again you can't play track meet hockey against that team if you want to do it just do it when mcnaven and dry sidle aren't on the ice you have to be way more disciplined that that just the the amount of just bonehead stupid mistakes has to be limited to cut it cut it in a third going back going back to uh the the like from a fan perspective the game two everybody from a calgary standpoint is complaining about that non-goal fuck off with all this shit it's a wash everybody gets fucked in the playoffs both of them got hosed and from a non-biased perspective going back to the luchage play it should have been a two
Starting point is 01:33:18 i understand why it was five it was a five because the referee is trying to manage the game and he's saying if I keep this guy in the game things could get ugly I don't think you could clearly see that Looch got to a point where he put his hand there and was trying to stop himself Smitty got pushed off balance if you're a Calgary fan you're saying oh the embellishment we've seen it before from Smith no I ain't even gonna go there either it was It was just a mistake. It was an ugly collision. He goes to concussion protocol. He shouldn't be suspended.
Starting point is 01:33:48 Give him the five. The game was out of reach anyway. So it's all a wash. Enough with fucking complaining about the calls. Edmonton's up 2-1, fair and square. Calgary needs to bring their A game on the road. And shout out to Ben. Ben's been their good luck charm all season long.
Starting point is 01:34:07 Play La Bamba. I'm happy for that kid. And he's obviously given them that extra little mojo that they deserve right now. And all the credit to Edmonton and what they're doing to my Calgary Flames. Hey, did you see that? Layla from St. Louis. Layla Anderson reached out to Ben, wrote him a nice letter. You know, like, because you's been through a similar experience.
Starting point is 01:34:27 They posted online. Just a really nice, like, she's a young kid to have the will with all of, you know, maturity to send a letter like that to the little guy. It was such a nice thing she did. So, yeah, it was pretty cool. And, Biz, to go back to Markstrom, this stat was actually going into tonight's game.
Starting point is 01:34:42 The Oilers have scored five or more in five of six games against Markstrom this season, obviously regular season employers that didn't even include tonight where they got four off him tonight before he got yanked. All right. It's a great stat because I know in recent memory, at least a couple of the later games in the year that got out of hand. I know that flames put up a nine piece on them,
Starting point is 01:35:00 not long before playoffs, but also in return, they gave up a bunch as well so this is not out of character for these battle of alberta games but i will say from a fan perspective that game one i know there was a lot of goals that was brutal hockey i don't even enjoy watching that it's awful i had i had fun watching i don't i'd rather watch like a 3-2 Blues over the Avs in like good penalty kills, like physical, you know, up and down the ice, close game. Like, buddy, this looks like pond hockey. It's awful.
Starting point is 01:35:40 Okay, Boomer. No, I ain't even fucking. I like a little bit of everything. That's why I fucking tweeted the praise I had out for the St. Louis and Ab series. And I obviously am poopy pants because my flames are losing too. But you just want to see the hockey that, you know, the flames will win if they play.
Starting point is 01:36:00 Yeah. The Luchich hit. Yeah, I said, I said, said like Ryan Miller's having flashbacks. I was completely kidding in the fact that that was nothing remotely close to when he ran over Ryan Miller. This one, I admit it was I shouldn't have been a five minute major. So many people were like, that's crazy. He's got a prior whatever issue with that. He meant to hurt him. It's like, I don't know what you're it's the same brain dead fans it's the same brain dead fans that are tagging me and when mckinnon got his helmet knocked off and then he put it back on and they're like
Starting point is 01:36:37 oh see was it that hard biz buddy he fumble fucked it away from the play and he put it back on and you could see the ear flap was on the inside and it was distracting him. And as he skated off the ice, he chucked his bucket and then you cut the clip short like a fucking bozo. And then you tag me in it, Avery. Oh, my God. Avery did that. Avery.
Starting point is 01:37:02 And I said, you what a little bitch, Avery. What? How do you say his last name again? Zaretsky. Zaretsky. Yeah, you're a fucking fraud. And I got your jersey and I texted our producer. It'll be on the broadcast on Monday.
Starting point is 01:37:17 Get your phone out, Avery. Texting me every hour on the hour since it arrived three days ago. I love how he said we would have thrown him in the Hudson River in like the next day. It's like, no, we wouldn't have. I'm upset about the I don't think this Battle of Alberta has lived up to the expectations that I expected coming in. I'm disgusted. I know I've been very negative about it. I'm sure you Oil that ESPN's cock blocking us on knowing
Starting point is 01:37:46 where we're going to end up going for the live feed for the conference finals to the point where it may not happen anymore but if Edmonton does win and Colorado advances I hope that I have to go to Edmonton and shave my head and I hope that all you others fans get to laugh at me in person and it would be it would be sweet justice for me doubting you and for pushing all my chips in the middle at a point in the season where Calgary was buzzing and the Oilers
Starting point is 01:38:14 were very vulnerable. I'm curious, G was it not like a week into the season? Am I totally off on that? It was a little later than that, I believe. Find out when the bet was made, G. Listen, we got a little bit more hockey to talk find out when the bet was made g i listen we got a little bit more hockey to talk about we can wrap up this battle of alberta bullshit yeah i mean if calgary comes back down with a passion of the christ uh when dan vladak come in for calgary
Starting point is 01:38:36 that's now 13 of 16 playoff teams that have used two goalies in the playoffs thus far uh dallas florida and tampa the only teams that have only used one goalie. What do you got, G? The bet was made on November 2nd, 2021. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, three weeks into the season, maybe. Okay, yeah, maybe it was a little earlier than I thought, I guess. Big sign in to announce.
Starting point is 01:38:55 Congratulations, Brady Kachuk. He was signed by Budweiser Canada as they released on Instagram. That's the curse. Stop looking at me. We were rolling. Yeah, a different team without Brady and fucking Walt. I feel like you're,
Starting point is 01:39:08 you're like panicking way too early here. It's two to one. There's a lot of hockey left in this series here. The, the, the, the hockey that I've watched over the last three games is, is a major,
Starting point is 01:39:20 major level for concern. And I think that Calgary looks shook right now and they have a goaltending issue all of a sudden so sometimes these things can't get fixed very quickly and next thing you know at the drop of a hat in playoff time you're all of a sudden booking your all-inclusives and your tea times so yeah i i am panicking but i think that i have every right to and i think that probably at least 50% of the Calgary fan base would agree with me based on what they've witnessed over the first three games.
Starting point is 01:39:50 I wasn't happy with that game one win. That scared the shit out of me. I'm like, what is this? I don't want to see any more of that. Lock it up. I tweeted, lock it up. Figure it out. But you mentioned tee times,

Starting point is 01:41:19 Yeah, you sold used clothes out of your trunk in the minors and then you bought used clothes at the Stampede. Don't be upset with me, Fizz. You're doing too well this episode to get upset with me because my team looks good. Let's go. Let's have some fun. All right, that's it for all the series. We've got some other hockey news and notes to get to.
Starting point is 01:41:38 Our buddy Rick Bonas, he resigned as head coach of the Dallas Stars. He said, after careful consideration with my wife, Judy, we feel it's best to step away and allow the organization, the opportunity to pursue a different direction at the head coaching position. I'd like to thank all the passionate fans and the dedicated staff for their support and hard work and my time here. It's been an honor for me and my family to represent the stars in the city of Dallas.
Starting point is 01:42:02 General manager, Jim Nilsa, the search for new coach would begin immediately and that assistance Todd Nelson, Derek Laxdell, and John Stevens had been fired. Dallas joins Vegas, Philly, Detroit, Winnipeg, Chicago, and the Islanders as teams looking for a new bench boss. Speaking of the Jack Adams finalists were also announced. Florida's Andrew Brunette, no surprise there.
Starting point is 01:42:24 Calgary's Daryl sutter and new york rangers coach gerard gallant i was surprised no todd mcclellan the award goes to the quote coach a judge to have contributed the most to his team's success and when you consider all the injuries the kings had no no doubt he for most of the year i don't know man i don't know how mcclellan doesn't end up top three biz were you shocked by i i feel like every year there's a couple coaches that get hosed because there's so many that do such a great job i i completely agree like i think that like with with what expectations might have been coming into the season and then dealing with the injuries and the adversity you just talked about yeah and you know they they like you quick quick had obviously been dealing with injuries in prior
Starting point is 01:43:08 seasons with dealing with the hip surgeries and they had cal peterson coming up and you know they didn't really have a starting goalie like in a sense of like who was going to get the net so it was shared duty so just based on the collective effort and what he was able to extract from that group yes i'm very shocked i i actually in, had him as the winner of the Jack Adams. I thought Daryl Sutter had some interesting comments about Gerard Gallant basically being like, for a guy that's just been dealt a bad hand when he was in Florida, dealt a bad hand when he's in Vegas,
Starting point is 01:43:37 he's like, I know where my vote would go, aiming at Gerard Gallant. Yeah, but I also, yeah, I think he's done a terrific job with the Rangersangers i think that goaltending sometimes does put a band-aid on maybe some flaws and as you saw he had a vesna caliber goalie um but based on personnel and and the players that they have in new york compared to what they have in la i think that yeah but but nonetheless yes there were some very very nice uh comments by sutter to pump his buddy's tires.
Starting point is 01:44:06 All right, you also should include, I think you had like a 200-1 on him winning the McClellan award, correct? I had 80-1 on McClellan to win the Jack Adams. Buddy, yeah, I mean. Hence my vested interest. Yeah. But, I mean. Don't let this guy fool you.
Starting point is 01:44:21 And, like, going to bonus, just like Todd McClellan, like based on what they had as far as a group's concerned, they both brought their teams to seven games, right? Yeah, yeah, exactly, man. It's, you know, sometimes the first round is the toughest round. So, let's see. The King Clancy Memorial Trophy Award is given to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice
Starting point is 01:44:42 and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community. The finalists are ryan getzlaff don elnuris and pk suban uh also the league announced that it will uh announce some award winners from june 1st through june 7th uh the messier jack adams mastodon willie orie selkie lady bang and king clancy winners will be revealed during the conference final during pre-game shows. And then the Calder, Hart, Vesna, Norris, and Lindsey winners will be announced on a one-hour live show held during the Stanley Cup final, June 21st at 7 p.m. on ESPN. A couple signings here. The Penguins extended Ryan Rust with a six-year $30.75 million deal.
Starting point is 01:45:21 Comes out to $5.125 million a year. He just finished a four-year $14 million deal. He could have gone unrestricted, but stayed with the team he's been with his entire eight-year career. 270 points in 424 games played. Let's see. In Toronto, signed Mark Giordano, defensive Mark Giordano, two-year $1.6 million extension, 800 grand per year.
Starting point is 01:45:43 The 38-year-old vet also could have went unrestricted but he opts to stay with the leafs that's a great deal for the leafs he's still got some game left in him like even if he ends up being like a fifth by the end of it like yeah like yeah well yeah i think he's yeah like i mean he'd have to go another eight years to be a char type and be that slow and just like hanging on by a thread uh no offense to chara but i think maybe he should have hung him up a couple years ago now he's now he's never coming on yeah so no i mean can we be just honest about like you guys is he done is he done is he did he announce his retirement hasn't officially said anything yet but i'd like i think he's i think like come on here like just
Starting point is 01:46:20 let the kids play um uh but as far as giordano i mean this guy's what three or four years removed from winning the norris um just yeah just a very solid back end and that's a great hey they need bargain moves toronto and according to wit a lot more money to save up for in order to have for austin matthews oh i loved how rattled the people got. Oh, because your bonehead take. But anyway, yeah, good signing. Yeah. One last sign and two. Columbus extended goalie Jonas Corposalo. One-year deal worth 1.3 mil.
Starting point is 01:46:53 Ali, he just finished a two-year deal worth 5.6 mil. So he's taking a bit of a pick. Oh, his numbers got through a lot. Yeah, I know. He had a rough one. But he could have went unrestricted as well. But he stayed with the only team he's been with for his seven NHL season so uh that's it for any cool though he gets to go he's probably like hey i'll stay where i'm at you guys have been loyal to me i'm gonna prove myself and then i'm
Starting point is 01:47:12 gonna get my payday i fucking love that shit and i think him and elvis got a pretty good relationship so like a good good tandem they got there uh you guys checking out of the rough and rowdy this weekend what a fucking cow with that what's his his name? Big Dick Booty Daddy Man. He talks all that shit about his wife. He fucking pulled up lame. He quit like in the first round. Like he fucking like all. Okay.
Starting point is 01:47:34 So he pulled that Jose Canseco. I know. I thought they wanted to make sure that would never happen again. Well, he probably didn't make close the amount of money that Jose did. Yeah. They probably insured against that. It was so embarrassing because he talked like, one thing talking shit, but he was like being so over the line.
Starting point is 01:47:48 Yeah, he was doing so personal with the guy's wife and stuff. Yeah, I mean, so you do that, man. You look like such a fucking chump when you talk all that. Was he getting beat? Can we actually play the clip from Ruff and Rowdy of what Big Cat described of what he said to his opponent about him and his wife. Suck my f***ing d***!
Starting point is 01:48:07 And Bobby Lang, you small d***, spineless d***! You're afraid of saw! I told you to f*** your wife! I was going to eat her f***ing pussy like a hungry hippo! Where the f*** are you, Bobby? You're nowhere to be found, you cowardly d***! Like, that is just... I mean, they call it rough and rowdy for a f***ing reason, man.
Starting point is 01:48:23 Oh my God. Shut up. Was he getting beat up when he quit? I mean, they call it rough and rowdy for a fucking reason, man. Oh, my God. Shut up. Was he getting beat up when he quit? No, I mean, it was, you know, nothing too exciting, but I don't know if he claimed to pull a muscle. It was just so lame. It was like, dude, he just stopped fighting.
Starting point is 01:48:37 Like, he just, like, turned his back and was, like, leaned over. It was like. Where's he from? I don't even know where that clown's from, but he was fighting the kid from Braintree, Bobby Lang, the kid who's done, like, nine. Bobby Lang, the kid who's done like nine. Bobby Lang is the king. He's the king.
Starting point is 01:48:49 Yeah, he's pretty good. Who was Shizat the Rizat? And he got arrested? What happened with that? Yeah, and then the fucking big booty dickhead there, Shizat the Rizat said something to him. They started fucking squaring off. It was like wrestling, only it was fucking real. The cops grabbed Shizat.
Starting point is 01:49:02 Only it was West Virginia. They cuffed and stuffed him. I don't know if they ended up fucking perking him or what. It was in Wheeling where I played. That was in Wheeling? That was in Wheeling. I was at West Bank Arena, man. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:49:12 So, folks, I don't know how many. I'm sure some of you who follow Barstool as well. So they got involved in this whole boxing world. And why not? People are getting massive paydays out of it. And you sell the pay-per-views. But the good thing about the Barstow one, I think it's like $20. And they do
Starting point is 01:49:29 three rounds. It's just like an assembly line. As soon as one fights over, there's two more people in the ring. It's a circus act. Exactly. Let's go to one. I would fight in one of them, but they'd have to give me the bag. I think we've talked about this prior. You said a million? A million bucks off fighting a rough to one i would fight in one of them but they'd have to give me the bag if they gave we i think
Starting point is 01:49:45 we've talked about this prior oh instead of million million bucks i'll fight or fight in rough yeah i don't know why they wouldn't i mean i feel like that would get that many buys i would love to fight that jay paul clown i would love to sit around like four or five of your buddies you throw in like five bucks each or something it's like guaranteed entertainment it's it's unlike anything out there you know especially with especially with fucking Dave and Big Cat. How long does it go? Two hours? A couple hours, yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:09 Yeah, I mean, you get your money's worth. You know what it is? It's a great pre-drink before you go to the bar. Grab a six-pack, go hang out with your buddies. Little people fighting, girls fighting, big girls fighting, big girls. It's, you know. Little people fighting.
Starting point is 01:50:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got a little something for everybody. With PGA Championship, wow, pretty wild ending, man., little people fighting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's got a little, little something for everybody with PGA championship. Wow. Pretty wild ending, man. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Pretty uneventful.
Starting point is 01:50:38 I mean, tournament, I guess for the most part, there was different waves that got hosed. So it's like a lot of times it happens more so in Europe, like the open championship and when European tour events are being played or whatever the tour is called now. And a lot of times, right, if you get you always play morning, afternoon or afternoon, morning. And if you end up catching the wave that the weather sucks, you're just it's kind of an unfair tournament in a sense where the weather decides a lot. just it's kind of an unfair tournament in a sense where the weather decides a lot. And so the guys who played in the morning on Thursday and then the afternoon on Friday, they had great weather or much, much easier than what the other wave dealt with. So Justin Thomas was in that tough wave and he was like the only guy to get out of that wave and be near the top of leaderboard. Everyone else, including this Mito Pereira, who's from Chile,
Starting point is 01:51:28 everyone else, all those guys were in the good waves. They got lucky. And this guy was lighting it up. And as was Zala Torres. He was just ripping this course apart. That Zala Torres is like, he's the guy who everyone says looks like Happy's caddy from Happy Gilmore. But a young stud, I think he now has six top tens in eight career majors, or five of eight it's pretty wild
Starting point is 01:51:46 and he's never won on tour um so neither is this pereira so then pereira has another great third round and this kind of no-name guy now being no name i would say that the average golf fan or you know the guy who watches the majors would have no idea who he is he's from chile he went to texas tech I was reading about him. So he then had a really good third round, and he shot one under. After making bogeys, he just kind of steered the ship, and everyone was, at least the golf world was saying, is this guy going to get his first major? He's got a pretty decent-sized lead, and it's just a tough day.
Starting point is 01:52:21 But still, coming down the wire after playing as poorly as he had, he gets to 18 with a one shot lead. I'm sure you were watching our right. And he he hits driver us the weirdest fall through. He said right away it was it was a bad swing. The guy gave interviews after it was. A class in in in kind of dealing with defeat in the correct way. Just an absolute master at kind of just talking about what happened. I'm kind of giving it away if nobody saw the PGA, which I'm sure everyone listening did. But he hits this drive right.
Starting point is 01:52:57 Now he's hitting his third shot from about, I don't know, 190 yards. He's got to cut it around these trees. Misses the green. He's now hitting his fourth. He's got to get up and these trees, misses the green. He's now hitting his fourth. He's going to get up and down just to make bogey and get into a playoff. There's two guys at five under and he, and he misses the pot. And it's, I hate seeing, I like seeing guys go out and win it. Justin Thomas got into the playoff was outdoors. He went out and won it.
Starting point is 01:53:20 I don't like seeing guys lose it. You know, that sucks. And that's why golf and I guess tennis is an individual sport, but you don't see meltdowns like anything other than golf. Like tennis, you could have a big lead in the fifth set as a men's major and it could be a collapse, but it's such quick moving pace of play things. Whereas golf, it's all the time between the shots and the walking. So he hit it in the water. And now, you know, forget the viewers at home. Like having played a little competitive golf, not even remotely close to anything these guys do.
Starting point is 01:53:52 But tournament golf, if you've played it, you hit a bad shot or you need to make a par. And all of a sudden you're in trouble. Things start moving fast, dude. Your brain's moving way faster than it has the rest of the tournament. And like, like a little bit of like panic can set in. And I just felt bad for the poor guy. So wit. So I ended up watching it. Right.
Starting point is 01:54:12 So on the 17th, he left the putt like half an inch. One rotation. It looked like one rotation. I could tell. It seems like it's I don't know if it was because earlier in the round, I feel like he got called out for slow pace of play. Correct? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:30 So they went up to his group. It was Matt Fitzpatrick who wasn't having a great day and, and Pereira. And they're like, you guys got to speed it up, which is kind of funny. I mean, they're the last group,
Starting point is 01:54:40 but I do understand they want to keep pace of play. And Fitzpatrick immediately goes don't look at me pointing over to pereira right yeah so it's like so but i did notice from that putt going up to the next tee it seems like he was kind of like i don't want to overthink it i just want to dude he was rushing it so he was you could tell he was rushing it and and i think it's faldo like i don't know how you feel about nick faldo on the commentary but he's like fuck dude he's like just take out a take out a three wood or take out something and like if even if you get a bogey you're going to a playoff like then once you're
Starting point is 01:55:16 in the playoff i feel like you get the reset right okay i'm i'm in the like it's it's we're you know it's it's the next three holes and that's it but you could just tell once he rushed it and then put it in the water i was like oh no and it's i i it resembled that one um the one at saint andrews the one year i was at carnews he was a frenchman's name oh my god he completely hey and then they ended up having the video after where they it was called like i played that hole like a complete moron and he actually beat his score by playing with just a putter on the hole so he was kind of at least john vandeville john vandeville he was a little self-deprecating but he beat his score when he got the last hole of that open with a putter when he went back so but pressure does the craziest things yeah that's the thing
Starting point is 01:56:05 right and and listen from a non-golfer i even i was watching i'm like yeah yeah he seems like he's just getting this over with where he's like it's almost like he's fast forwarding so to pretend he's not overthinking it but in reality you could tell his wheels are spending a million miles an hour and as you said to see that i was texting you i'm like this is so hard to watch i know if that happened to me in a sandbagger i would be devastated let alone the to get your and this guy was also playing on the the corn fairy tour last year yeah so he got his card because when you're on the corn fairy tour they have a special rule if you win three times in a year boom automatically you go to the PGA Tour.
Starting point is 01:56:46 And he did that. So he's a stud. He's a ball striker. And it's great. The game now is just like ball strikers. People say you got to be the best putter. It's not even true. These guys, they just hit every fairway, every green. They never miss the center of the club
Starting point is 01:57:02 face. And that was this Pereira. And you're right. I think maybe I actually definitely agree with you. He's probably like, let me just go hit this drive. Jim Nance was still talking and all of a sudden the camera goes to him. And I think Nance was like, oh, this guy's going to get ready and set, take his time. And boom, he's
Starting point is 01:57:17 teeing it up, just blocking one right with a crazy fall through. And yeah, Faldo was saying when Zal Torres ripped three wood in the playoff, he's like, that's what all Pereira needed to do. There you go. Rip three wood. You got a buck 65, 70 in.
Starting point is 01:57:33 I just, Justin Thomas though. What a clinic to go through what he went through the first two rounds where you're just exhausted. Like the grind. These guys are on the grind. People who don't play golf, you're laughing like fucking golf dude, to get the ball in the hole and tough conditions. That is a grind for 36 holes, probably five hour rounds. Thomas just grinded. He gets to Saturday and he kind of had a bad day. It's probably just like, I don't know. That was also
Starting point is 01:57:58 tough weather. And then he comes back from seven shots down and he ends up getting into the playoff. He could have won the thing. He stuffed one on 18 and missed the putt to get to six under, but just an amazing effort. And that's – Zalatoris, he's going to win someday. He's got biz. Coming from a guy who hasn't putted well on camera, if you guys ever watch the Sandbagger,
Starting point is 01:58:21 he's got a funky-ass YIP stroke where it's like the short oh oh i buddy they they zoomed in on his putter head see that he had a short one and i was like whoa what the hell was that i know i know but from 15 feet he pours him in but this week he was nails on a lot of the short putts he was actually going going back, and it would kind of, yep, I hate saying that as a golfer, and he would just stop, then finish the backswing and hit it. He was almost battling through it. But when you hit it like that, it doesn't really matter.
Starting point is 01:58:57 I think he will get a win. But it was an exciting, it turned from kind of boring. I was like, this is, I don't know, it hasn't done much, into two young guns, and one of them gets his second major. So I, it was, it ended up being a great Sunday watch at the end. Did you, did you have any futures on it? All right. He had 43 golfers to win.
Starting point is 01:59:15 No, I, I tell my, my buddy again, who, who seems to pull these guys out of his ass. Cameron young. I had him. He ended up fucking. Did a chance. Two behind. Yeah. He was right there... He had a chance. He ended up two behind. Yeah, he was right there at the end. He made a double.
Starting point is 01:59:27 Like 15 or 16. I think I had him at like 61. Basically, if he'd come in, I would have made probably about 10 large if he'd come in. For a small investment, too. But Salafi, you know... What were you just talking about? The pressure?
Starting point is 01:59:43 Last week, KH lead to Byron Nelson. That made him more impressive because he had that one stroke lead for like, I think the last six holes he had to hang on to it. He ganks one shot. He fucking loses. And, you know, he talked about fucking coming through on the clutch too, man. It's just so much time to think in golf.
Starting point is 01:59:59 It's crazy. And you have to be mentally strong. You have to be telling yourself positive affirmations. It's not it's like fake it till you make it. But I can't imagine for a guy who's never won on tour to have one shot lead in the 18th hole of a major. He probably hit the panic button a little. But but like I said, in terms of his post round media quotes and questions he answered. I don't think I think you're going to see this guy
Starting point is 02:00:26 around again. He just thought he just lost the chip and putt event. Yeah. How else would you want to respond? Right. What are you going to do? Fucking sulk. It's like dude tomorrow. Go hit balls. Win the next tournament. It's one of those headlock. Fucking
Starting point is 02:00:42 dumb. At least go get shit-faced tonight. Oh, yeah, hooker. I'm not sure if we said it yet, Biz, but in case we didn't, Battle of Alberta, Tuesday night, we'll be live streaming on our Chicklet YouTube channel. We'll be tweeting the hell out of it and putting it on our social media and all that shit.
Starting point is 02:01:00 So, you know, we'll be doing a little Beavis and Butthead style with the Battle of Alberta. Yeah, so how is that going to work, G? How will we be doing that? The fans are going to watch me put one in my belly button in my bed here at the Four Seasons in Atlanta while we're streaming the Battle of Alberta. He's the guy from CNN, alright?
Starting point is 02:01:16 It's basically going to be like a live podcast. We're going to be just like this in a Zoom format where people can see us, see your live reactions. We'll be on there. I'm actually excited for it because I think it's actually going to give the calgary flames a little bit of mojo and it's different so i'm a i'm a little bit superstitious when watching the game so we need to change something so let's go flames i'll put in a big effort and excited to see everybody and make sure you bring your pink whitney we'll be chugging that i was just gonna say labatt blue
Starting point is 02:01:43 as well you gotta be putting back those fresh Canadian pilsners on my way. I love it. I got a quick grant. Grind your gears like this is something used to really grab my gears, but I don't I don't take Uber or Lyft
Starting point is 02:01:52 as much. But when they when they take the fucking worst route ever, especially in Boston, what you know, people at Boston, they know the best route with the quickest way to go. And you get these drivers
Starting point is 02:02:01 from out of state. They don't know. I tell them where to go. All right. Do it. Sometimes I try, but sometimes they don't. They only fucking obey the GPS. So this one was so bad the other night.
Starting point is 02:02:10 It's comical. I couldn't even get mad. I was at me and I had a family dinner. It was me and my cousin. We met up with our Shane Corson and the North End had a couple beers with him. So we were at the Corner Cafe on Prince Street, right? You know, near Bova's Bakery.
Starting point is 02:02:22 We're going back to Charlestown at the fucking nights. We get an Uber. We end up on 93 fucking North, going from the North End to fucking the Knights in Charlestown. Did he just go past everything, past the old building up near like Somerville? Dude, he fucking picked us up on, instead of going
Starting point is 02:02:39 left, left, left, right over the Charlestown Bridge, he fucking goes all the way to Hanover Street, takes the right, gets on 93, fucking up over the Zakem, down the fucking Sullivan Square, fucking exit. I was, like, laughing. It was fucking comical. Like, we're on 93 going from the north. Well, at least gas is cheap.
Starting point is 02:02:55 Yeah, I didn't care. No, my cousin actually, he's got a disability, dude. They only got to pay, like, three bucks for fucking Uber. It could be, like, 90 miles away. It's, like, a set rate and shit. So he gets he gets the hook up on that like he gets so many a month so i was with him so it was like fucking three dollar ride no matter what yeah i find that a lot of your guy my gear is resort back to transportation oh dude i got a problem like road like the other day we my father's like hey you want to drive like he's the city's changed
Starting point is 02:03:24 so much for him he's like i was like yeah i'll drive and i was like pretty chill for my standards and like dude was about to stop at yellow light if i can lean on my father's like calm down we're just going to dinner we're not in a goddamn hurry i was like that i just beeped at the guy and yeah you're an asshole driver though you've told me stuff we we we gotta set up a dash cam how do you get that mad like it's like become an outlet i guess for me and like i just have a hair trigger with it it's like i'm gonna get out and fight grinnell and then another dude tried to turn down a one way and i'm like i didn't want to beep because my father's young people beeping so like i'm i
Starting point is 02:03:59 they thought i was gonna hit him i was like dude you asked me to fucking drive like this you know you know what's you know what i'm gonna ask let's hear it let's hear it no i said i have no idea what you're gonna ask we're doing a content piece where we're going to cruise with ra i'm not he a crew sounds like he stressed the shit out of me no we're gonna drive from boston to daytona and ra has to drive the entire way and wit you have to be in the car and you have to sit in the back with me and Grinnelli's going to be in the front seat. We'll set up the dash cams. We'll get the GoPros out and we're going
Starting point is 02:04:31 to see how obnoxious this gets. You know what? I should put the caveat in with that's like my city driving like when I go to like Vermont for my family trip like when I go like chill like I actually can drive slow and enjoy it. Like, so that's something I would drive like a reasonable person.
Starting point is 02:04:48 It's more like my city driving self. Like if I'm on, like, we drove from drive from Vermont to like, uh, what do you call it? Saratoga. That's like a wicked chill ride. Like I'm, I'm wicked mellow. So maybe the craziest part is that you have the six to second, second beeps. Like I, and my bike video I did the other day, someone beeped at me for three seconds and it sounded like the longest beep of all time. And I think Sean looked at me and was like,
Starting point is 02:05:12 dude, RA beeps double that. That's insane. Okay, how about this? How about we should get an Uber sponsorship and RA has to drive Uber for a day and we film it. That would be awesome. All of a sudden the stock plumm a sudden you could at least drive them in the quickest routes possible mr quick absolutely they might shit their pants a little bit but
Starting point is 02:05:34 what else have you been doing with your spare time what have you been doing with your spare time g anything exciting absolutely nothing just watching hockey putting out two episodes a week, excited to go back down to one episode per week. So I have a little time to myself, but yeah, not really doing anything. Just making bike vids. Watch the bike vid right now on YouTube. I drove around Manhattan, 27 miles, and I got hit by a car.
