Come on, this team's afraid of nobody on the road on you You wouldn't have confidence in your team in a game seven in Edmonton. This is the best road team in the history of hockey That's how you decided to start I'm just Establish the zig in Dan's defense. I think the Panthers want to win on the road in game seven. They want to do Mike I'm serious. They want to prevent McDavid from winning the cup in front of his home fans They do yeah for their shit feels better. Let's talk about how good everything feels before we're like, alright Let's go on the road and do this dude. I'm not worried about the team. I'm worried about the travel. I'm tired

I just got here. Okay, David heard has even played this series? He's scoring a game five. Yeah, how many goals do you have this entire playoffs? Right. Playoffs? Yeah, an entire playoffs, I think it's seven. Oh, Brad Marshad, six in this series alone? Okay, hi, Con Smythe. And a garbage goal does not count as a goal

in my personal record book. I mean, seriously, it was a meaningless goal, I mean. I wanna go through some stats with you guys in a second, but Zazzle how much are those tickets gonna go for? Last I checked was last night's Cheapest ticket was 1100 just to get in the building Wow. I can't pay 1100 It's 1100 times three for me cuz I got to take both my boys. So I'm out You're out too steep because this has been a hell of a run by you You're out too steep because this has been a hell of a run by you. You agreed to work here for either free based on a bet, Atlanta against the Miami Heat,

work for free or work for pay throughout the Panthers run and the Panthers are at least going to give you the maximum number of games possible to get paid here throughout the summer on hockey and kick in on the bonus which we we did not have the bonus in play of now you get bonus shows paid for because the Panthers have had the run of runs when I say they're a great road team though I get to keep coming after hockey by the way like well that's what I'm saying it triggers a clause if the Panthers win the championship it triggers a clause of you continuing on this heater Wow good good That's the contract language I saw

As a road team, okay, they're 25 and 11 since 23 in the playoffs. Okay, that stat is crazy That stat is nuts 25 and 11 on the road in the playoffs since 20 makes them the best road hockey postseason team there's ever been there They've got 61 road goals. They're plus 30 on the road. They're afraid of no one and After losing that way in game four where Edmonton breathes life for the first time on oh We can get it to 2-2 and we came back from 3-0 We're the only team in the league that can do that to the panthers the only team in the league that can go from down three oh two winning that game

but florida doesn't care and florida makes you pull your goalie and florida scores more goals than most teams ever have in hockey and let me revisit for a second the spectacular wrong of mike ryan specifically going after brad marshawn because these numbers are crazy okay he's got as many goals in this final as dry saddle and mcdavid that's the third goal of that game is is pretty a goal is there has been in the

playoff we have the call for that in Finnish and Spanish but I'm not kidding you when I say the goal at three nothing we can make an argument that it was the prettiest goal of the playoffs what Marchand did in every way from from cheating at the beginning because he was in the face-off circle early to I'm not even understanding how he physically did what he did to be the oldest player to ever do something only Lemieux has done before, which is score more than five goals for two different teams. Let's play the sound though first and finish and let me again show you how the Spanish language is better. Jake Paul, Marino Heath, makes the goal! It can't be! Brad Marshand! A real hit again!

Marshand, by Halvavallan, has scored from the defense! that Mike is incredibly wrong about Brad Marshawn, who's the most valuable player in this series and scores like no one ever has at his age. He's done something that hasn't been done since 1922. That's funny. Do you know the team that did it? The Vancouver Millionaires. Really? Put it on the poll please, Juju. At Levin and Todd Show.

Did you know there was such a thing as the Vancouver Millionaires? His, they've got five goals on the road. Did you know did you know there was such a thing as the Vancouver millionaires his hit? They've got five goals on the road Five goals on the road in a final from Marchand is the most since 1922 Play the call in Spanish Galasso Marchand, goal! Goal! Galasso! Goal! De la asfaltera! Marcian is spectacular!

Roy, for whatever is your maximum expertise on this team, no one had Marchand being one of the greatest trade deadline acquisitions in the history of the sport, making Lusterain and Lundell and Marchand like the best third line in the sport. No matter what your expertise was, nobody was predicting this kind of impact from this guy. Nobody was predicting him getting traded in the first place.

I mean, that within itself, like that was a shocker to everybody in the league and now at 37 years old he pretty much wrapped up con smite right there he's the MVP of the entire playoff. Yeah third line has 55 points in 22 games. Wow. In case you were wondering the second round pick has been upgraded to a first for Boston so they should feel okay about it. It's what makes this team so good is their depth and they have a first line guy playing on the third line. Oh, but Stugats, yes, but Lundell, Lusarenan, these are really good players. And whoever gets paired with that line over the course of these three years together plays

well too. It's an unbelievable, it's probably the best bottom six line you'll find in hockey and you probably, you're not chasing contemporaries. You're chasing ghosts with that third line Let me talk so Lundell people will talk about him as a two-way player who sees the ice somewhat like Barkov like a Borky when when you talk about The depth of a team that is flogging conor mcdavid and luster anin

to have more shah and be a player in twenty two playoff games to have ten goals and ten assists to got makes him a south florida all-time legend icon on how runs are done emotionally. Holy shit, what do you mean we got a guy at the trade deadline who makes us this much better because now we're afraid of no one on the road, we can score more goals than anyone,

because we'll make you change your goalie before game five. The Rodmar John is spectacular! And they're now a game away. They don't... I want to know where to put this team if tomorrow night's expensive ticket becomes an all-time team in this town because of what they did and who they did it to see I guess it depends on how many people show up at La Carita and to see it to see their

their legacy within this town I do think that you can make an argument for dynasty even though it's usually reserved for teams that win more than two, even though this is a bit of a ridiculous conversation, because they haven't done it yet. No, no, but no, but I. Edmonton might be one of the greatest teams of all time, and they just keep running into the Florida Panthers.

I think for historical context, though, on Brad Marsh, and a lot of people making the argument, this is the most impactful trade deadline acquisition ever, and you have a solid hand. he's probably on the metal stand. Marion Gabarik scored 14 goals for the LA Kings in a great acquisition from the Columbus Blue Jackets. And your guy, Butch Goring, in the 1980s ended up winning the Con Smile.

That's your boy? Yeah, Butchie, yep. Before we go any further, because I want to talk about this team. Number 91. Thank you Stu got it What Marchand did to 29 29 year old Jake Wallman on that goal? Okay on the goal and finish in Spanish long lovely in any language It's one thing to get toasted that way the equivalent of crossed over in hockey

But it's another thing at the end of that play for you to end up on your back in the net. Ha ha ha. It's a spectacular goal. Oh my God. It's unbelievable. And it's, he doesn't really pull away from guys. The way that he pulled away and got the look

is just incredible strength and balance. But one of the all time playoff performers, like you're talking about somebody that we're putting in a breath with Lemieux Stugats on being able to put this together during the playoffs. I'm gonna have a hard time historically Putting my head around how wrong Mike is. I'm not wrong Look, I was wrong and calling him a rotational winger that I said Jesper probably does this you were wrong and wanted him to be Healthy scratch down. Yeah, Mackie probably does this those are all very gifted players I can I help you turn this around I were motivating no

Sean that's all you know you guys are mischaracterizing like Mike likes to be proven wrong yes and he likes he'd like saying he's wrong and more importantly he likes to be proven wrong yeah so I think I like is being able to get through a thought yeah had you proven him wrong, he would love this. But he's not wrong. When he's wrong, he'll be happy to tell you when he's wrong. Go on, Mike. The Rodmar John is spectacular.

What are you saying there? I will tell all of you today that before we go any further on this, because I am excited to talk hockey today, like it really is wonderful to just witness greatness and forgive me for wanting a game seven just because it's even better. And because just this team, good God, it's what I said to you before game seven last year

in terms of what they're good at, burying you in the corner at the end, even if you've come back from down 3-0, they're better at this year. Like, why would I or anyone involved with the Florida Panthers be afraid of a game seven on the road against anybody? Like, they know they're champions. And it's not like McDavid.

I'm not saying you shouldn't respect McDavid. And it's not weird that he only has one goal in five games. And Edmonton and Canada are about to fall on his neck because nobody wants Florida to win Like why would you want Florida to win? Why what this is supposed to be a coronation hockey's not rooting against McDavid Why would they root against McDavid? You've got all of hockey wanting one result and one thing standing in the way and it's this swamp thing Unbelievable and the fact that the Panthers have done this on short rest one day of travel and one thing standing in the way, and it's this swamp thing. Unbelievable. And the fact that the Panthers have done this on short rest, one day of travel. So Mike is saying, let's not talk about this now,

but I do want to put it in the context, because even if they lose game six, I want to see what the stakes are in game seven are on, wait, dynasty or underachiever on On once in three years because you thought you were so close to three? Everything's on the line, Dan, for all the marbles. A lot of them. I don't know if you can make that argument when you consider the first time that they made it

to the final they were the last seed in. But they were still there though. Yeah, I understand, but they were huge underdogs to Vegas. So that season wasn't a disappointment. They win the cup last year. If they lose to Edmonton and the best player in the game, two of the greatest in the game, and Dry Cytol and McDavid,

I don't think anyone looks at them and is like, you really underachieved. I don't think it's a boss and self-expect. Okay, but regardless. Well, put up three games to two if they wind up losing the last two. It's a total disaster. Yeah, that would hurt.

That's where it gets disappointing, the context of, hey, we had, in game five, we had this big lead. I want people to feel the weight of a historically great series between historically, what I believe to be historically great teams. People will blame McDavid, I will not. The Panthers will choke it out of you. Like I understand why you need your performer, like McDavid's got to be better than the

Panthers. Everyone, I'm guessing that you guys, I'm guessing Billy and Stu Gotts are now in the Greg Cody camp of ready to get on board with McDavid's overrated. I mean I was there last year. Dan, how can you give a guy a pass if he's the greatest player in the game and he has one goal through five Stanley Cup games? How can you give him a pass? Now we'll see what he does in game six and game seven if there is a game seven, but he doesn't get a pass. You have to be better than that. And this is fair criticism

and it's what comes for the all time greats. I'm just telling you, I respect the Panthers enough to say that anyone they choke out, it's because they choke everyone out. Like I've watched enough of this for two years to know that it is a failure on the bottom line for McDavid and those are eternal by the way. Like this will haunt him if he cannot beat this team and the Panthers will stand all the stronger over the years in terms of what they did

historically because they held down LeBron at the beginning because they did what the big three in Boston did to LeBron, made him change teams. This is stopping LeBron in his prime. He's 27, 28 years old. This is supposed to be the run in which he dominates the league. I would say if the Panthers win tomorrow,

and you don't get a big game tomorrow from McDavid, it becomes the Panthers won four out of five after Edmonton won game one, and McDavid had a goal in the series, like he'll get absolutely crushed. Just annihilated. I gotta keep reminding people about something that this is not a one man team.

It's still Leon Dryside on this team. He's been fantastic. And he might be third place in Con Smythe right now. Yeah, well the way that I hedged last year when the Panthers had a huge lead was let me take McDavid Con Smythe right now. Yeah, well, the way that I hedged last year when the Panthers had a huge lead was, let me take McDavid Con Smythe. I'm doing something similar, but I'm hedging with Leon Dreisaitl,

who I think out of the two deserves it more just because he's better defensively. But last year, the saving grace for McDavid was, it was his first Stanley Cup, and he won the Con Smythe. So how much can you really go at him? He battled back from 3-0. If the narrative plays out the way that Zazz suggested, then the media jumps on his neck

and he starts feeling the things that LeBron started feeling after that Mavericks loss. I feel bad for him, to be honest with you. I mean, after watching him for two Stanley Cup finals, he's just not that good, you know? Regular season guy, compiler, he puts up all the big numbers. He's a good skater. Yeah, he's a fast guy, Paul Antenna, all that. You know regular season guy compiler. He puts up all the big numbers

Yeah, he's a fast guy Paul on ten all that yeah, but once the bright lights turn on right I mean, it's just where he shuts off where does he go? Yes outstanding player the playoffs last yeah We talked about that that they were looking for something to give them so they gave him that yeah People want look here's the thing this isn't his fault, right? This isn't us problem, as a society. We all want to feel like our lives are so important and meaningful when in reality, it's really not, in the scope of history, right?

We just wanna feel like we're watching the greatest thing of all time so that we can go and tell our children, oh, we watched the greatest hockey player of all time, the greatest basketball player of all time, the greatest this, that, the other of all time the greatest basketball player of all time the greatest this that the other of all Time so we feel like our life had some meaning when in reality He's just another guy just another guy and just let him be another guy Why do we put this pressure on him make him feel like he has to be the best?

He has to be a great he has to win the Stanley Cup or he's nothing. He's just a guy Billy What if you are watching the greatest thing of all time? I'm not well, I'm not Trust me what David's running into Yeah Panthers Yes, so Stu gots and Billy are entrenched now in the position of being unimpressed by the Panthers and unimpressed by me David he's just a guy. God bless hockey on its way to you in the future. I Have to though stop in our tracks for a second This weekend was dark.

So this weekend, I believe, produced one of the largest, if not the largest protest in the history of our country. If you're talking about about 13 million people, if you're talking about about 1% of our country, if the estimates are right uh... to no king day that america doesn't want to hang they don't want uh... no king they don't want to parade for king they don't want to feel like north korea

uh... the more poorly done north korea because our guys don't march right so like uh... let's let's look at at uh... the tank here the sound from this parade that got apparently ten thousand uh... people uh... this is uh... you know this uh... a tank here the sound from this parade that got apparently ten thousand uh... people uh... this is uh... you know this uh... a lot of people are making fun of the marching here the junior r o t c uh... lack of discipline in the march

uh... we're not doing that no thank you for your service uh... of course uh... nobody disputes that but you can hear that that's the tank making the sound because the parade doesn't have a lot of enthusiasm And that you can hear that audio is tremendous in terms of does it sound like a parade when you can hear the... That's how a tank sounds when it's on asphalt and it's not a street legal vehicle And no one's cheering even though there are scattered folks in the grandstand. Some weather issues though. It's in the rain. The Dan Leventar Show with Stu Gotz is sponsored by Liquid IV. All right,

I'm gonna work my way around, again, I mean, I wanna see what Florida has to offer, what Miami has to offer. I wanna see, I wanna feel a want to see what Florida has to offer, what Miami has to offer. I want to see, I want to feel a city

that is on the precipice of winning the Stanley Cup. I want to feel it. I tell Roy's got it. Okay, all right. So we'll, we'll, we'll. I mean, he just flew in. All right, we're going to check back in with you in a few minutes.

You go somewhere else in Miami where you're going to get Panthers. No, I'll go somewhere else. I literally have nothing to do okay I have nothing to do with my life right now please put me to work all right it is nice it is nice to see you I will tell everybody and this was unfortunate I hated that this was so that when reality came in with his Monday pep when he came in small talky and happy,

our bitter crew was not here for his perky Monday morning. He hugged Roy and Roy just said, I'm tired. Roy, I've never seen Roy vigorously hugged by anyone that way. You sat in his embrace or you stood in his embrace, stiffed his dry cleaning and you just said, I'm tired. Dude, I just get off a plane. Yeah.

I just get the connection from Edmonton to Vancouver to Salt Lake City overnight. I'm tired. Guy's playing in the cup. I mean, geez. Roy, you're living the life. This is your dreams. What do you mean, I'm tired?

You're living your dreams right now at the top of the sport. What are you talking about? I'm tired but happy. But you're complaining about tired. You're drinking on an expensive account. Yeah, but I'm happy and tired, Dan. You and Dwork. I Dora dry you and Dwork Well, that's not whose fault is that my wife I don't know

It's really like inconvenient planning right for you to have to go all the way over there to come back to them Maybe have to go back for one game and then come back again. You're really leaving a massive carbon footprint, right? Yes, it's all the Los Angeles Kings fault. They should have took care of things in round one. Let me be clear, by the way, in my stumbling around in transition from hockey to reality, because I do want to be clear about this. I'm not even mocking when I say that I have maximum respect for our troops in a situation where they are in servitude to someone they know has called them suckers and losers when there's reports around the president that now include, you know, whatever's going on with a catheter and a diaper and whatever's going on now

that makes dictatorship okay or more okay than it seems like is okay. It's a bad spot for our soldiers, so I didn't want to and don't mean to say anything as an aspersion to our soldiers because I don't even know what you can do in that situation where you have to be subservient to somebody who's gone full dictator. And it was an awkward transition between reality and hockey. And Marchand is doing things to Gatze that I really want to put it in context of South Florida sports history. Who are the best we've ever had in terms of

this icon's gonna echo with your children on holy shit, do you remember the run Marchand had 15 years ago? Like this is generational stuff that's happening from, like Seth Jones isn't the one doing this, although he adds to their depth too, it's the guy they got at the trade deadline that did this to got 13 years ago.

It would have been like if when the Heat traded for Higadala in 2020, if Higadala was the finals MVP for the Heat and they won. It's nuts because the best player's also the best story. Like, there's not a better story. We could talk about all the star power everywhere. I'm a hatin' ass hater, he's not the best story? Like, there's not a better story. We could talk about all the star power everywhere. I'm a hatin' ass hater. He's not the best player on the line. I know he's scoring the

goals and by my math I think I need Seth Jones to score seven goals in the next game for me to argue that Brad Marchand isn't even the most impactful trade deadline acquisition on the team. But Lundell and Luster Reinen have been incredible. Luster Reinen is probably one of the best defensive forwards in the leagues and nobody talks about it because he's on that third line. Anyone does this with that third line. It is the three guys, Marshaan has been incredible. He is playing way better than anyone assumed he would,

including yours truly. However, I am not wrong about him being a jerk and I don't have to like him and that was my main point. The front, Marjana Spectaculara! Where's Ugether Bina on this list for you? about him being a jerk and I don't have to like him and that was my main point. The Rodmar John is spectacular! Where's where's Ugithur Bina on this list for you? Wow that's a good one. Darren Dalton. Yeah Dutch.

Dutch yeah. Ugithur Bina we all kind of forgot about because of the whole prison thing and the machete right? You know the murder so that that we kind of like. Hold on a second I'm sorry I've got to interrupt programming here because I've just been told by our crack production team that a bit we've been trying to get off the ground for a month. Chris Cody's off today, I don't know when that bit's gonna make its appearance, but Big Mac is somebody

who is a friend of the show downstairs, and he is now with Tony Reali, and Tony Reali is gonna do a live interview evidently of Big Mac, introduce Big Mac to our audience. Reale, you've made a friend down there, he's a friend, he can give you the dirt on everyone on our show Reale. Dirt? Can we start with the chapeau? What are we rocking? I've seen gangs in New York and this, you're Bill the Butcher here, what are you talking about? Trust me, I'm not, no member of no gang.

Oh no, it's a beautiful hat, what is this? What am I looking of no gang. Oh, no. It's a beautiful hat. What is this? What am I looking at? Is it a bowler? It's a bowler. A derby? A derby? A European bowler.

But here in America, we call them derbies. Yeah, nice. I get my derby from Nets hat. And this is in everyday for you? Everyday, yeah. I've been wearing them since I was a kid. Because you recognize it's 100% humidity and about a million degrees out here, right? Without a doubt.

You are just walking on clouds. Look at this posture of this man. The thoracic mobility of Big Mac. Now we call him Big Mac because your name is Ronald. Ronald, that's right. Because of Ronald McDonald. And did you throw down some Big Macs in your time? Yeah, I love Big Macs.

I remember I used to work up in East St. Louis. Those are good. Big Macs are good. And back in the day, I don't want to tell you how long ago. Dan is salivating over just the idea of a Big mac when you when you were when ron would sit down how many put down three four about four for a high

man well everybody who's come by the street knows you really you were the mayor well of the street where it was the same way when i was over at the flat iron that was the same thing on the burko plaza but right now met elsa and I'm loving every minute of it.

Get his Panther information. I don't need his history. Get his, get his. I'll talk to him. He's been a hockey fan since 1970. Disrespecting another man in a badge. So talk to me about the Panthers. Would you rather they win right now at home?

This is a debate they're having upstairs. Without a doubt. Do not. Or take a loss to get to a game seven because it might be more excited though we had that experience last year of course and we don't want it again plus I mean you've won enough on the road yeah when some home games who's your favorite panther I like Matthew Kutcher and I like Brad now I'm Brad Brink what's the name

It's just, you know, now is good times with the Panthers, but we know that there's bigger pressing issues with the Dolphins and Chris Greer, and he's gotta go. Pressing issues with the Dolphins and Chris Greer's gotta go.

You give me 30 seconds right here. This is your FaceTime. I'm not sure if you ever saw a show called Around the Horn, but you just won today's show. Now you've got 30 seconds to talk about whatever you want. Okay. But we're hoping for a little Chris Greer action. Okay, I want to talk about Chris Greer

simply because he's been here too long and he makes the same mistakes. He get a good couple of guys and then he doesn't know what he's doing, and I'm just sick of looking at him because everything is funny to him Everything is funny to Chris Grier. You know getting run over by your notice when he get over here. He's supposed to be checking the cars Yeah, when he does his dinner reality don't get anyone hurt.

Thank you. You keep finding panther's fever all over the city. You looked all over the city and you found the guy in the carport who just greets us every morning, Big Mac, who we've been trying to build a segment around for about a month, and Billy, I'm gonna email it to you because you tried to get the good Chris Greer stuff out of him. That guy, every day we come into work,

he lights every member of this show up with his Chris Greer opinions. And they're poisonous and he wants them gone. Tired of looking at him. Always smiling, he says in the press conferences. Big joke of this Chris Greer according to Big Mac. Mike wants Kevin Durant. Does Zazz want Kevin Durant?

Because Kevin Durant and bam, if you can get him for picks, which I think is what Phoenix wants. It's what they want. And maybe Russell Westbrook too. A couple of months ago. Kevin Durant and Bam, if you can get him for picks, which I think is what Phoenix want. It's what they want. And maybe Russell Westbrook too. A couple of months ago. Oh wow, wow. That would be exciting. You established the ZIG.

Does Kevin Durant want me? I didn't see the Westbrook coming, I really didn't. Oh yeah, I mean he opted out. He's there for the taking. Imagine a reunion down here in Miami. Zazz, how do you feel about that? I mean, why don't you get a Baca also? Why not?

Anybody else? Bring Scotty Brooks on staff? Anybody else? Perk? Perk can play in a suit? Get Perk. Perk can be your center. It's getting to the point that I feel like I'm being set up again.

Pat my heart broken by Kevin Durant. I don't even know if he wants me. Does he want me? You're not gonna answer my question until he tells you? Yeah, does he want me? He's gonna break your heart with San Antonio.
