It is rare that I come in here wanting to talk tennis.
I felt yesterday like I had been transported
to Sunday mornings in America 30 years ago.
30 years ago, back during a different time in tennis.
And then I come in here and I sit down
and who's sitting across from me to talk tennis but Dominique Foxworth
Oh that match man I know this is the Shadow Show so I don't want to get into
you don't want to give up the good stuff during the Shadow Show the Shadow Show
is the place for the best stuff for For the most loyal. I agree.
I'm not saying that I don't wanna give the good stuff.
I'm saying that I want the room to stretch out
and talk about the psycho drama that took place.
So you don't want, this is too limiting,
these three minutes of the Shadow Show
where we're supposed to be giving the pure stuff
to our best fans.
Can't every podcast say that the most loyal audience
is there at the start of the podcast?
You could be totally disloyal and still hear this at the same spot of the podcast.
Well, but okay, fair enough. But the part of the Shadow Show that you will find right now on YouTube Live,
which is us talking directly to our audience in a way we never do, it's the only place that we're doing it,
right here directly to the audience, Dominique doesn't want to waste his best stuff. Not on a Greg Cody Monday.
Ha! Is that a thing? Greg Cody Monday? It used to be Greg Cody Tuesday. I don't know
what happened.
I gotta get my calendar fixed.
God damn shirt, man.
That's right!
Wooo!
Let's go! It's shirt Tuesday! Whatever the hell it is.
It's Monday.
What?
It's shirt Monday.
There's no video on the Shadow Show, so...
It's shirt Monday.
Greg, shirt Monday.
Alright, so Greg, just explain to me how you've been promoted. There's no video on the Shadow Show. It's shirt Monday.
All right, so Greg, just explain to me
how you've been promoted.
OK, you don't know what day it is, even though it's.
So do you not wear shirts the other day?
It's normally Tuesday when I'm in here.
So it's, just to be clear, right now,
just so that we get off the ground correctly,
it's shirt Tuesday.
Right.
OK.
I just think that the Shadow Show,
where there is no video, I'm building anticipation
because everybody who's listening on YouTube right now is like, I can't wait till the video
comes out because Greg looks magnificent.
Well Dominique came in today and said of this shirt, I've told Greg he's got to buy dozens
of shirts like this. He needs nothing else in his collection. It needs to be just these
shirts. Dominique and Greg have a checkered history checkered
and it's pawns in each other they had a very stiff starts dry clean handshake
but then dominique noticed your father shirt
and he said nice shirt and your father
a puddle of roses melted into dominique's feet your father went totally soft
i thought it was a lovely handshake
your shirt is what he thought was lovely.
Okay, well I thought the handshake was was good and the shirt compliment was
even better. But as I told Dominique, when you tell somebody effusively what a nice
shirt they have, what's unspoken is compared to what you normally wear is
the thing that was unsaid. Backhanded. Yes, backhanded compliment. I mean, my inclination was to defend myself,
but then I was like, no, it's true.
You know it's true, we all know it's true.
We ain't gotta play no games.
It's a good move that you pulled.
You have effectively lowered expectations
and you wore this shirt, which I won't explain
because people, I want them to be surprised.
It's just a shirt.
It's shirt Tuesday.
That motherfucker got buttons.
Same color as the shirt.
It does.
And you know what?
It feels like I have cuffs buttoned,
but there's no button.
It's beautiful.
I'm telling you what, it's,
I'm gonna start wearing these shirts as pants.
That's how much I like them.
So if you wear shirts on Tuesday,
what day is pants day?
It's Wednesday?
Greg Cody just got done saying,
I'm not making this up, this was official,
and I was honored to be the only one here to witness
and hear and celebrate it.
He said, I have now retired officially
my press box collection of shirts.
The press box collection which is all crumpled collars,
all 20 year old shirts, shirts that just shouldn't go,
you shouldn't go out of the house
because the collar goes seven different ways.
In his defense, there's a uniform and there's a mentality
and when you put on something that looks a little too slick,
it's hard to work hard and it's hard to make good stuff.
So like you throw some whatever on,
you are telling the world and telling yourself,
I'm getting down and I'm going to work,
I don't care what I look like,
I'm gonna make some quality stuff today.
There's difference.
If someone comes out all decked out,
they are expecting not to do hard work or make good
things.
Let's start shirt Tuesday.
Everybody wear their fly as shit on Tuesday.
This is the Don LeBattor Show with the basketball and I probably should start with the tennis because it really
was a Sunday that felt like it had gone back in time 30 years where tennis mattered at
the only time that tennis can have the stage to itself when sports are, you know, sleeping
and getting up in the morning.
It's mostly soccer and stuff this used to be a time in this country that on sunday
mornings
what tennis gave you yesterday
was a magical thing that went beyond tennis and had dominique in a place
where he's been
yesterday i'm gonna say
he's where tennis fans have been for about thirty years
he's on an airplane trying to celebrate with somebody
what he's witnessing on television which is like the height of athletic grace and
pressure not team sports
just people doing something historic
and he wants to celebrate with somebody on the airplane and there's just one
person six rows back that's also watching that's where tennis has lived
in the public consciousness
for a while, but they gave you an epic one yesterday.
It was incredible, man.
Like, the match itself was outstanding,
but I think more interesting than that is it took me
to a place where I was thinking about how few moments
in our lives we actually are in a situation
where we're at a fork in the road
and know that our performance will determine like the trajectory of our lives, we actually are in a situation where we're at a fork in the road and know that our performance will determine the trajectory of our lives.
And I'm in that moment thinking, it's a five plus hour tennis match and it's epic.
They know it's epic and they know that the whole world has stopped to watch them play
and they know that this will determine how we'll think about them and how their careers
go forward.
And they seem to have separated themselves from the pack.
So this is going to be a rivalry
that goes on for a long time.
It's taken on from the big three to the big two.
But just thinking about that,
and I started going back through my life,
trying to think of moments where I was like,
man, I woke up and was like,
whatever happens today will determine
how the rest of my life goes.
And we just don't have those moments much. And that's why I love sports so much.
And it feels like only time you see that,
it's like movies and TV shows where you're like,
hey, this is gonna determine
how everything else goes from here.
And we had that yesterday.
Sports are great.
And I want to get back to all of that
because I really do believe that yesterday,
it can be inspirational, right?
When you see all this stuff distilled,
and it's not team sports,
and it's just two people fighting,
and it's five hours of will,
and they're living and dying with it,
and they care as much as you do,
and they know they're in the middle of something historic,
and both matches were good yesterday.
Both matches this weekend were good.
But I want to start with the hockey because,
of course overtime is the best thing,
and double overtime is better than that.
And Roy, I will not hear that you were not scared.
I wasn't.
I didn't.
Roy?
Liar.
Roy.
Roy, there's just, you are lying.
In fact, hold on a second. No, no, no, no. Hold on a second, hold on just, you are lying. You are lying, in fact, hold on a second.
No, no, no, no.
No, hold on a second, hold on.
Yo, chicken time.
It's double the amount, I mean,
you gotta go down.
Sterino two down.
Oh, you give a bleep.
Come on, you were next to Dorky.
And also you smiled when you said no, it's a toe.
Yeah, Roy, very lily.
Such a lie, you can't, that's the scariest.
That's the scariest it's been in three years, no? That right there.
Have you had a worse feeling as a Panther fan than I know my team is good enough but
we could get killed here by random?
In the last three years, yeah. I mean being down 3-1 to Boston, that Brad Marchand breakaway
that doesn't go in the net and then you need Montor to equalize with less than a minute left. I'd say I was pretty nervous against Toronto when they
were down 2-0 and then they went down two goals in in game three and needed to
come back. No one here showed public fear there that was not something that
made an appearance here. You guys have been all bravado we got the best team
this is the best team but you know you're up against something that can beat you know over time and double over
time could come back from three one you're scared of it you respected plenty
because you know how good it is and you were that goal I want to play four goal
calls four languages but I I did here on one of the replays the one of the radio
announcers was calling on the marshall goal he actually said
can't get the shot off
is how he started it and then the next thing you hear is that's a goal the game
is over and what sweeps through south florida
is uh... they you go from fear to exhilaration go from down old to to
uh... all now you've now you can have home ice and let's play And let's play these gold calls one after another. And the Panthers will enter the game in Florida with a 1-1 tie in the Stanley Cup final.
The fifth goal in the career of Brad Marchand in Serie A. Roy there to go French first for some reason. French-Canadian. To build up. I would only assume.
It's to build up.
I like that.
Okay, I think it's not a great judgment, but what are you going to give us now?
English or a different language?
This is French. Oh
We we's bonbons and all that stuff we are building up that one was better
We we Was your contribution?
So we've started with two French goal calls.
Again, when I was listening,
that broadcaster absolutely went home kicking himself
because the beginning of the call was Marshawn
can't get the shot off.
It was a tricky goal.
I mean, Dry Cytle did lift the stick a little bit.
It kind of just slid in.
Okay, but so just so people understand the tempest of this,
if you do not care about hockey, you've got your heart in your face the entire two periods. You're just terrified and they've got the fastest guys
They've got the people who could score fastest and you're great at defense
But also it should go without saying and it has so far but for those that didn't watch the game
Edmonton equalized that game with 17 seconds left. Well, so you got you're carrying that with you
Thank you. So so the team that with you. So thank you.
So the team that's the clutchiest in the clutch,
third period, they always win it.
That's their signature thing.
Paul Maurice undefeated on the road,
undefeated in the playoffs if he leads after one or two,
or one or two, and then definitely after three.
They come back on you twice because it doesn't matter,
and now with 17 seconds left in the game.
Your heart is in your throat the rest of the time, what happens is as Edmonton can flog you and
you're already tired because it's hard to play against them because it's 46 shots in the last
game and you got the weight of Edmonton on you and you're a champion and this shit's hard and you
have to get Marchand and you have to do trade deadline things so that you've got more reinforcements
because this is the toughest trophy to win.
Everybody knows that this is the toughest trophy to win
by reputation.
I know that hockey and tennis are very different sports.
However, I felt a similar thing while watching
the tennis match in that hockey game,
where it's like the mentality,
and sorry to drag us back to this mental part of the game,
but in those moments, you're playing for the Stanley Cup,
the championship of your sport,
like the thing that you want in dynasty,
essentially for Florida,
to start kind of accumulating those titles for dynasty,
and you have 18 seconds till you have taken home
ice advantage, and you give up a goal,
and the mentality that it requires.
You guys should be so proud. I've become somewhat of a Panthers fan just by watching this show.
One of the things I know about the Panthers from watching this show and watching more
Panthers games is they can ice a game, essentially. They had that one thing. You guys are talking
about how they can take the ball in the corner and snuff out another.
It's a puck, but that's alright. We keep it going. My bad. A puck, you got it. Take it in the corner and snuff out another that's all right We keep it going my bad a puck you got it take it a corner and snuff out the opponent
And they had that situation to do and they couldn't do it and they responded to that by bouncing back like that is so difficult
Let me let me just explain
This part is the coolest to me right this they're a champion
They're a champion. They're a champion. They're a proven champion. And this is how you defend a title.
Edmonton comes at you with those two players
and they crush you, steal your soul.
17 seconds left.
That's the loudest Edmonton there's been since Gretzky.
Like, yes, we can topple these guys.
They're the champion.
They took it from us.
Now we can do to them in these last moments
what they thought they were good at.
This is how you take it from them and then what you have in overtime is it goes right from one side to the other.
Like it goes that's not playoff hockey. Playoff hockey is not that wide open. It's not four and
five goals. If the Panthers are going to play Edmonton style and win at that, win at that,
it's the toughest way to do it. If
that's the way they're going to choose, you're gonna make Bob Browsky be a lot
better than Skinner. Yeah, you don't want to be in an end-to-end battle with
the Edmonton Oilers. But what I'm saying is, imagine this, Dominic, just
the feeling. There's just nothing like it. Nothing like what I'm about to explain
to you. It's overtime. It's double overtime. You're terrified and what's
coming at you is historically offensively, it'll flog you. It's overtime, it's double overtime, you're terrified and what's coming at you is historically offensively it'll flog you. And so back and forth on the ice as fast
as it can be and then Marchand of all people wins the game for you.
I'm not a hockey guy as you can tell by the fact that I call the puck a ball, but that's
the wonderful thing about sports in this tennis match, in these hockey games over the weekend
is you don't have to
understand the complexity of it.
You turn it on and you goddamn feel it.
And I felt it watching that game.
And to your point, I don't know how I've been in these high pressure situations.
And I know that there's something that happens in those situations that the momentum and
the psychology of it, it hurts.
And so like me explaining to you,
I know we like pay lip service to it, like just be tough.
It's really hard to just be tough.
I'm not sure how I can create a moment
in everyone else's life, but imagine the rent is due
and you just don't got it.
And like you, that feeling that you have in that moment
and how most people respond to that is like,
shit, I don't got it.
But somehow they go find that damn Brit and it fires me up
It can't be overstated that if they lose that game to go down to nothing in the series
Realistically, it's over and don't tell me about Toronto in the last round
This is not Toronto and Florida hasn't been lights out at home
They're four and three at home this this postseason
If we if we lose that game and then win tonight, we're fine
That game in that way, oh no, it gets scary trust me
I wish I had the security footage of outside the restaurant the bar
I was at of me just after that goal, you know, like the intermission
But before overtime just me aimlessly walking through the parking lot. I'll bet, Chris, up here, it doesn't feel as over
as going down 3-0 to Toronto would have felt
because you still have the two home games
to hang your hat on, and I know
they've been better on the road.
They're not a bad team at home.
They're still reigning defending Stanley Cup champions
with two games at home in front of their home fans
to get back into that series.
Toronto 3-0 would have felt over.
It would have been scary.
I'm not saying it would have been scary,
but like we've had scary before.
I will tell you that.
In that way?
Historically, in the Stanley Cup final,
a two-nothing lead is accentuated.
That in the Stanley Cup final is even greater than two-nothing
in other rounds.
Historically, 91%, you're up two nothing, you're gonna win.
91%, 50 out of 55 teams up two nil in the final have won.
Dare say most of those teams aren't as good as Edmonton,
they sure don't have McDavid.
I would say that ostensibly up two oh and one that way,
where it is that Dominique is talking about
how you get debilitated.
Like these teams that are this good
do not give away the championship.
It must be taken.
Like this team, you know it.
When Paul Maurice is saying,
this is a life-changing team for me,
this is the best thing I've ever seen,
hockey guy at his core, and he's saying,
this is a life-altering experience for me.
To be in the center of this,
I've got the best
and I know it.
And oh shit, what cometh this way?
Yeah, but the fear?
He respects what that is.
He knows it's all of Edmonton.
He knows what, he knows to fear that McDavid,
with all of Edmonton on his back,
doesn't seize up to the pressure of that,
becomes the immortal that we think he is
because that's what hockey does
to these people this time of year.
What's available to McDavid right here is everything.
Go ahead, Chris, what do you got?
No, I mean, I just think that when this team
is playing the way they're playing,
the fan base is way more scared than the players are.
I agree with you.
When they get that goal with 17 seconds left, I am broken.
We're all broken as a fan base.
But you hear the reports, they go back in the locker room,
they're laughing, Kachuck's like, who's gonna get it?
Like they're having, I mean, maybe it's a coping mechanism,
but they're trying to just be relaxed,
talking about who's calling out,
who's gonna get the game winning goal.
So I just feel like, and that's why they're so great.
The fear, like the Panthers actually weren't scared
in that spot.
Unlike I was, I will admit, I was terrified.
I think that the stories that come out are,
and I'm not in that locker room,
but the stories that come out are different
than how they're actually feeling
and how I think everyone is actually feeling.
I think there are some people that feel that way.
But I think the story is a little bit shaded by the result,
because if they lose in that situation,
no one's like,
hey, like that's happening.
That's happening in a bunch of locker rooms where people thought they were going to come
back and they did.
Is he accusing the Panthers of lying, of change, rewriting the mythology as we go?
Is he saying they didn't come back to the locker room laughing?
Let's check in on Roy and Dwork and Rose did a live watch of this and i want you guys to see uh... the panther fan base is represented by these four people i heard
from sources
i will not reveal now but we will get to over the course of the show
that he then was again to chatty on the show we're gonna have to do that uh...
something about that as a network i believe i i was told from sources
that growing had to exert eight pulling aside of Ethan and telling him to talk less.
And it's something I've been wanting to do for a while.
So thank you, Roy, for handling that
in management in front of people.
I overheard, I have no idea the context
of what you just said, but before the show today,
I heard Roy say to Ethan, we have to talk after the show.
I got nervous hearing that.
Look, Ethan talked too much on this, but it's okay.
We give away the microphones around here.
Tyler Lement.
I learned more than I wanted about Ethan this morning.
He talks a lot.
That might be later for the show.
Well, I will tell you that I have not yet forgiven Ethan
for while I was doing a show introducing Pablo Torre,
seeing in our Slack turn up from Ethan,
the commentary, to everybody.
Are we just gonna bleep off Pablo all show?
And Ethan felt, you know, Ethan,
go to the penalty box for a while here.
Because this is retro-active.
Retro-active.
We've got a penalty, five minutes, major asshole.
So he was talking too much during Roy and Dwork
and Rose's broadcast because we give
away microphones around here.
Wait, I'm confused.
Is he or is he not on the show?
He is on the show.
He's the third voice.
I saw a shirt that said Budski on it.
All right.
So he should be talking more like the third voice and less like the first voice.
But here's 17 seconds left.
I want you to look at here.
These are objective journalists, Rose and Dwork and Roy and Ethan objective journalists when Edmonton ties the game with 17 seconds left
going back to the point
oh my god
oh my god
Edmonton always have tied this game at 4
wow
and we are going to go into overtime.
Oh my god, dude, this is like a team of destiny.
Holy shit.
Corey Perry has tied this game at four with 17 seconds left in regulation.
40 year old man. Well, now I get to rewrite my game story.
I love how Roy just kind of talks like his tweets.
Well he stayed in broadcast, look.
He doesn't want to show us the feelings.
No, it was like Cronkite delivering you those of the equalizers.
Thank you, thank you.
I'd like to play all of this again because Roy met the moment by absolutely delivering the news
poignantly as what happened around him the visuals of this would have been the same if a landmine had gone off underneath Roy because
Rose and Ethan walk away. I've never seen Ethan get that far from a microphone that fast
Like he likes being near microphones, but he just, this tore apart the Panther fan base.
To have it, look, guys, if you lose those two games that way
and know how good Edmonton is,
I'm not gonna say you guys bow,
but you'd certainly be expecting to lose at that point.
Yeah, yeah.
No, we know we have a game three. That's a must win
That's the way I would look at you like is that's hard to come back from and you'd be telling yourself Edmonton's better
It's the that way of it. It's the they're beating you a brutal
You're right, but they're beating you at your stuff
Like when when they're better than you like you get a shorthanded goal. You need a shorthanded goal to beat them
I would think high scoring games were actually beating them at their game, I would argue.
Our game is more 2-1.
I know, but I'm saying you would have lost both games their way,
and they would have taken from you at the end the thing that you do best
because you couldn't get them to play your way.
Like, the thing that the Panthers do is they inflict those third periods on people.
Can we get back to Roy delivering the news?
Yes. Let's play this sound so that you can see
where Rose and Ethan end up.
Oh, more shit, more shit!
Oh, break away, oh, break away!
Break away!
The guys are going up.
Yeah!
I don't care about the joy.
I want the tears.
Get their happiness out of my face.
Stop it.
Bring it down, bring it down.
Yeah, that's not the one that I wanted.
I need the one from before.
I need the one where Roy says courage afterwards.
The one, so yes.
Guys, when we say replay,
it means we wanna play the one we just played.
That's Dan Rather.
Good note, Chris.
Good note, yes.
That is what it means.
That was a 10 minute meeting
after the show about communication.
Set it in the open, mics.
Yes, just barked it as an instruction to the other room.
Barky. Alexander barked it as an instruction to the other room barky Alexander barked it sure Tuesday holy shirt no holes
that's harsh judging right there's Holy shirt. I don't want to appeal that ruling.
You think holy shirt deserved something there?
Yeah.

His nicknames include the Chosen One and McJesus, okay?
He's a great player.
He scores a lot of goals.
He scores a ton of assists, but it hasn't translated to making Edmonton a powerhouse in the
league. They're in the final. Stugats! What's your nickname for them?

Dominic do you see the uh... The Nile? Yes, I do see the Nile.
On your glasses, Greg.
They were poorly fit.
I'm not going to name my optometrist right now, but name them.
These were poorly.
I think when they go on, I think they're naturally too close to my skull.
They've been consistently smoking up.
They're fogging.
You know what? I have a good excuse built into anything
that goes wrong this show because I'm tired.
I'm in the middle of a long, grueling hockey playoff.
I don't think I've written anything but Panthers
for like, it feels like two months.
It's probably been a couple of weeks at least.
And it makes me weary.
It does.
But exhilarated.
You understand that feeling.
That's when you use the
work for a little cable or but so this is this was interesting though on the
flight that dominic took in uh... when when dominic is flying in and he's
trying to uh... enjoy the majesty of sports
this is somebody who still uh... is is following these things in a way that
hasn't been for fifty years that can be exhausting
to lifetime people who have been running back and forth
to arenas for I don't know how many years,
but this is where the media gets old.
Like this is where the voices,
the voices that are 50 through 70
that are sort of tired of sports
and can't be inspired by what it is
that is presently in the middle of it.
You're speaking to the exhilaration of it.
It's what keeps you coming in, but you're also tired.
Right, no, I know that, but you know what wakes you up
and invigorates you and makes you the opposite of tired
is when you watch a Marchand goal in double overtime
and you instantly realize you've just seen something epic you've just seen something that's going to be memorable
that's going to have a place in Florida Panthers history and and that's pretty
exciting you know it's great and and I still say that if they lose that game
and they're down 2-0 nobody not even the fans with their face painted throwing
rats nobody thinks realistically that they're gonna win that.
That's so funny you say that because I would bet
that you would have written that column
that they're still in it because you have to just
hold the McOverrated, like it's your last hope
of just holding that.
Okay look, he hasn't won a Stanley Cup yet,
so officially he's still McOverrated.
How did you feel when he had that power play assist?
It's one of the nicest plays I've ever seen in hockey
It was it was magical. He's slalomed past Barkov and Ekblad
Our best defenders
And left them like turnstiles
It was incredible
He's ridiculously good
But like right there, did you kind of have a moment of, oh
No, no, because I've seen it before and I'll see it again
No
Yeah, yeah I had and I know how good he is
Too good to never have won a Stanley Cup. That's that's I just had a colonoscopy
I have I had no polyps. I have the same number of polyps as McDavid does Stanley Cup
Well, that was the I can't help we're gonna play from your with white hat
White hat I got him like a fish on my podcast. All right, hold on a minute. We've just arrived at the most self-absorbed part of Shirt Tuesday.
Holy Shirt Tuesday. Hold on. Hold on, because you mentioned... Look, Chris.
I forget his name. White hat.
Greg, Greg, you're inside here on a rivalry that's very important to you, but I need to explain to the joke to the entirety of the audience
because they may not know.
Okay, I just remembered his name.
It's Pete Cockburn.
Blackburn.
Blackburn?
Okay, my bad.
I'm sorry.
Honest mistake.
But he's a senile old man.
Honest mistake.
In the dead of night,
take these broken wings and learn to fly.
You didn't say the Blackburn part.
Blackburn singing, I thought it was obvious.
But he's a senile old man.
Do it with Cockburn.
Yeah, you know, I showed him.
I eat him for lunch.
So he says he gutted him like a fish
and then throws out a Cockburn for everyone to enjoy.
No, he did say, see, you're ruining some of the comedy.
He said, I got in him like a fish.
Get it right, everything that he said is comedic genius. Got in him? I thought he said, I gutted him like a fish. Get it right, everything that he said is comedic genius.
Got in him?
I thought he said, I gutted him like a fish.
Oh, I thought he said, oh, apologies, it's my bad.
I definitely heard Cockburn.
That I heard.
That's a senile old man.
I made a mistake.
So can I explain in the audience what just happened?
Please, yeah.
You're feuding with another podcast
because they call you a senile old man.
Yeah, well White Hat did.
The other guy was pretty complimentary. But he's a senile old man yellow white that did the other guy was pretty complimentary
but he's a senile old man
it's fine keep playing that okay but hold on okay but he's a senile old man
robert rohy rohy i need to get back to you have you got a little ship shape
please have you got video ship shapes so i can get back to you being crest
fallen cronchitis you were delivering more news. You weren't delivering.
Chris noted duly, okay?
There will be no better moment than this,
even the one we've already spoiled
by showing you the game-winning goal.
Roy meeting the moment with the urgency
of telling everybody what the news is
of what just happened as his teammates make clear
what just happened, which is an clear what just happened which is enough
an apocalypse what is happening is seventeen seconds left we're no longer
friends this is how the friends would come apart in the movies if they didn't
want to be around each other because something terrible had happened and
roy rose to the moment
and some in his best crestfallen
cronchite
don't have to point in Cronkite. Holy shit. Corey Perry has tied this game at four
with 17 seconds left in regulation.
Oh.
And that's the way it is.
Oh my God.
Roy, it is so good, but it's also good
because you're so professional in that moment
while everything around you is crestfallen
that I don't believe that people understand
how Flim Flam Flip Flop Dwork is.
That in the middle of that, he's like,
oh shit, Team of Destiny.
Like, he gave them the entire game there.
It wasn't even tied anymore.
Oh, everyone was saying that at that moment.
I was saying worse.
Yeah, it's their tie.
I was like, check please.
It's just their time.
Wait a minute, which is it?
It can't be all those things.
No, that's exactly-
17 seconds left?
Yeah, with 17 seconds left, after we lost game one in overtime, you're like, okay, this is, it's just their time.
And that's a perfectly rational way to behave.
Okay, you say that, but how about what Dominique is saying about the idea of they know that's what they're under and they're like bleep off
We laugh in the face of this we laugh in the face of no you're gonna write us off like that
That's why we're stronger than our fan base because we're in the war. We're in the middle of not the whole fan base
They're not stronger than Roy because Roy looked at that and said it is a date which will live in infamy
But we are coming back baby
And that's why Roy, Roy, I feel differently
about all of this now because I didn't realize
that people like that walk among us.
Roy is ice water.
I know that if somebody came up in here,
I don't give a damn who you got on security.
Roy is gonna save us all.
When he fixed his posture and then adjusted
the headset mic to meet the moment.
I felt that.
I see it in his face,
because right when the goal happens,
his eyes get big and you can see,
and then he has a moment of, gotta be a journalist here.
All right, so I'm going to explain,
please, one more time I wanna play this, see if video,
this is the same video I wanna play again.
I don't wanna play the video of them winning,
the winning goal, the same video.
Replay.
So I want you not just to watch
Everything here Roy and eat. I'm sorry Rose and Ethan leave the proceedings because this is crushing like this
This is one of those pains that you'd remember for a long time
17 seconds is a number that would get etched in that moment for Panther fans because oh, that's where they took it
17 seconds left they they took our thing from us we stuffy out at the end
the games and
rory
is not just a war correspondent that here
he's also reporting from where the hindenburg has crashed and
what he does it in our bodies everywhere right now it's not a man for some reason
correct for some reason gunfire has broken out somewhere around here i don't
say that
but the main that's been actual danger these days
but it in this particular context he's a war correspondent
and what he does with his head set here is he gets into position because this is
the moment of roy's life
all that's the point
all my god
all right
it's a lot of this game Oh my god, oh my god
Wow and we are going to go
My god, dude, this is like a team of destiny holy shit
Cory Perry That's tied this game of four. I wish she had glasses to take off
He would have driven the point home that President Kennedy has died at 1 p.m. Central time. I think I found a new moment
We might have to watch it again or try to freeze it
But I don't think you recognize that the serial killer that Roy is he smiled a little bit watch it again
I promise you there's a smirk. I promise you there's a smirk He laughed at death. We know to do this face replay. I want to replay please
You look death in the eye.
What was that?
And smiled.
Here it comes!
Look!
Look!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
I caught him!
Oh my god!
You're sick!
Oh Roy!
You sicko!
I believe you now!
I thought it was all an act!
I bet his playoff hockey right there!
He's so happy!
Dwork is not ready for it!
Rose is clearly not ready for it!
Ethan's not ready for it!
But Roy is smiling at death!
Grizzle bet right there. Stay ready so you don't have clearly not ready for it. Ethan's not ready for it, but Roy is smiling at death.
Rizzle vet right there.
Stay ready so you don't have to get ready.
To smile?
He don't want it the easy way.
What a catch by Domine.
He got excited because he was like, hey.
Roy, play for me in Spanish please before we get to the goal call where all of you celebrated play for me the Spanish goal call of the Marchand goal The Panthers won! The Panthers won! The Panthers won!
Silence is the greatest!
Panthers won!
It was a great move!
It was a great move!
Wednesday!
It was a great move!
It was a great move!
It was a great move!
It was a great move! It was a great move! He's out. Pantalones, miércoles. Pantalones, on a shirt Tuesday.
Tony, Spanish is a better language than French.
It's better.
It's far superior.
Put it on the poll, please, at LeBretard Show.
We played two French goal calls.
They both kind of snuck, and we didn't know what had happened.
We don't know when the puck goes in the net.
Sorry that they don't yell, goal!
That's the only reason we know.
Can we play the French-Canadian one again?
It was terrible.
I'm French-Canadian, play the French one.
That one sucked.
Guys, it was plenty confusing to those watching
and listening to English.
It was a weird goal.
Agreed, but-
Kenny Albert's like, it's not in!
Oh shit, it's in!
Yes.
I don't think he said, oh shit, it's in.
Kenny Albert said that?
And he didn't hit his microphone when he said it either
with his left fist either.
Cole missed it in. Oh! Oh! The half of our shot! And he didn't hit his microphone when he said it either with his left fist either
And Marchands mom in the middle of Edmonton there just taunting people I mean the Spanish one has a class for none of them climax like the Spanish. It's on it's so much
No, no Spanish goal calls every alright. Yeah, it's still the soccer. We got it
Okay, make fun of it all you loved it
There was no confusion in the spanish
telling of this tale
at okay so you go and tell me how much better french and english are but when
the spanish do it this is the correct call no argument
well
well
well
well well It's true. Tony, because our language is the superior language, again I want to put on the poll
that Levitarch show, better language, Spanish or French, I would like for you to translate
for the people because it can sound like pantalones and it can sound, if you don't know Spanish,
I would like for you to translate for people.
So I think the important things to know
is some of the key words that are being said.
So when you hear them,
you already know what the reference point is.
So pantera is panther in Spanish.
So that's what we have.
Not pants.
Not pants for whites.
That is a cute little nickname that the Panthers have.
Occasionally people call them the pants.
And I always pop for that.
Let's go pants.
Yeah. Regardless, what Tony, the call him the pants and I always pop for that. Let's go pants
Regardless so what Tony the call after the sing-song of he's made it plain You have five straight calls sing-song on the Panthers the Panthers have won
There's no confusion about is more Sean. Did he get the shot off?
There's none of that
No
You could not know Spanish and listen to all those goal calls and come away with the clearest idea of what happened by listening to the Spanish goal.
Here they go, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, he's scored! Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Panthers, the Panthers. They won the Panthers.
The Panthers won.
They won the Panthers won.
Silence is everywhere in Edmonton.
He did it. Brian Marchand did it.
That's what I loved was silence is everywhere
Again nobody said that in any other language the Spanish painted so beautifully so perfectly I didn't hear Edmonton was quiet from any other language. I mean what other languages do you speak English?
So the French one you wouldn't have heard it. They didn't say shit. I can guarantee
The French it did feel like the guy had a cigarette the whole time.
Like, he was just chilling.
He just had a drink and a cigarette.
I thought the emotion of our people is on display here,
but how about the emotion of our MetalArk people?
You can now video play the...
The happy goal call.
The happy goal call.
This is not the rerun.
This is Roy.
What kind of broadcaster was Roy
at a time where objectivity was needed?
Oh, more shit!
More shit!
Oh, break away!
Oh, break away!
Braves wins!
I'm in very, I can't even hear it.
Still broadcasting, he is a war correspondent
surrounded by debauchery and fools
Look at him tolerating fools and incompetence
Burying his teammates to glory that Cynthia Cynthia goes over just to like shake Roy like Roy this is
Roy have an emotion if you notice the life.
