Like that woman over there with the Italian leather handbag, is that from Winners? Ooh, or that beautiful silk skirt, does she pay full price? Or those suede sneakers? Or that luggage? Or that trench? Those jeans? That jacket? Those heels! Is anyone paying full price for anything? Stop wondering. Start winning.

Winners find fabulous for less. Now's a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

The tequila that invented tequila. proximo.cuervo.com please drink responsibly. Queervo. Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo. Woo hoo hoo hoo.

Woo hoo hoo hoo. Woo hoo hoo hoo. Ah, where you at Mike Ryan? I told you. He's hiding. Yeah. He's hiding. That was just a celebration of Stugatz's return, everybody.

Where has he been? He just came in, he staggered in, and this is how he said good morning. He's like, Vegas, the wind, I don't remember where I was, but I'll tell you, pretty sure Coach K was with the dead too. Yeah, I'm listening. I'm not sure if it was the gummies the the shrooms but everywhere I turned at the wind resorts who I saw was coach Kay, I think when you're on mushrooms everyone looks like coach K though. Is that what's happening? Put it on the pole Juju at Levitard show when you're on mushrooms does everyone look like coach K because he came back talking like it was being John Malkovich the movie that everywhere he went in Vegas everyone looked like coach K because he came back talking like it was being John Malkovich the movie that everywhere He went in Vegas. Everyone looked like coach K, but to be fair It's kind of what Vegas is. Yeah. Yeah

suspiciously dark hair suspiciously dark hair trying to be younger when in their 80s and Gambling the rest of their life away. Yep, playing golf of the win. Following the dead. Oh, Coach K. The thing that's the coolest, Stugatz, we should just start the show because we're a hockey town that wins all the big games. Yes. This is the Don LeBattor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. off it goes to look off and they score Florida leads two to nothing quick force link quickly to Reinhardt with help coming out in front for Boquist and they score yes for Boquist put on the top line tonight and he makes it three to

nothing Florida Mikala scores another goal from a Florida defenseman. And it's Florida nothing, Panthers. And here's another goal, this one from Greer. Another unlikely goal score. The route continues. A tie draw, the puck pokes out to Sam Bennett, and Bennett, who scored a beauty.

And now Seth Jones moving in shoots One nothing Panthers as Seth Jones beats Joseph wall To nothing Florida is clear kicked out by wall Star gadgets they should three nothing Florida kicked out by Wohl, rear slides it across, score Gajdjivic! Mates it 3-0 Florida! Unrestricted free agent Mitch Barnard, score! Marshand the shot, deflected in by Losterini, it is now 4-1 Florida. Right off the draw, Reinhardt beats Wohl.

Now it's Marshand, sends it down into the empty net. An exclamation point off the stick of Marshand, his third point tonight. As he will go 5-0 in game sevens against the Toronto Maple Leafs. I owe the champion Florida Panthers an apology. I am a coward. I was scared of a game five and game seven in Canada. And today, South Florida gets to feel pretty good because those hockey losers who invented the sport in Canada never get to win that game.

The game is now won in a swamp. I told you so. In a swamp. Okay, Roy, nobody likes that guy. Like nobody likes, all you've got by way of hello win that game the game is now one in a swamp i told you so in a swamp okay royd nobody likes that guy like nobody like you all you've got by way of hello as i told you so i love that i will tell you why i don't like that guy make fun of will bon and cornheiser for this they now do a show where it's just old men and it shouldn't be called pardon the interruption anymore it should just be i got that right and they you know they go four

for ten and they don't mention the six they got wrong now you were not afraid admittedly what was not in any way afraid will get to his thoughts in a moment those gold calls we played they had the best part missing i again listen to the game this way stugots because i have not felt this kind of sports excellence down here in my lifetime except when the University of Miami football team had all the first round picks, and when the Miami Heat had LeBron, Wade, and Bosch.

But this team, I mean, Paul Maurice is now 27-0 in the playoffs when he has a lead after any period. That's crazy. That's not the craziest stat I have for you today. I doubted that stat. I was like, I'm going gonna go back and look it up. And it's true. It is true. Anytime they lead after a period, they win the playoff game. A period? A period. Sorry. Thank you, Zaz. I did that incorrectly. I don't think Chris

went back and looked it up. I think he just accepted it. No, I did. In my defense, and Stu knows me. It's the greatest compliment that, it's the greatest compliment that Chris deigns to read, and unlike his father, retaining morsel of information, because he heard something, couldn't believe it was true, and then verified it. I'm not gonna lie, I went back, I looked up the first five, and I'm like,

all right, five in a row, it's probably the next five, seven, that's good enough for me. Thatta boy. Okay, give me the stat of the day for a second. I'm gonna give you one off of yesterday's game, but we didn't play the best part of those goal calls. Start of the day, start of the day,

and this is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, and this is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, and this is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day start of the day start of the day and this is the start of the day start of the day start of the day it is the start of the day I knew it. Chris just admitted to me he didn't look anything up. That's such a surprise.

I believed him for a moment. They all just back here, Chris and Tony talking, ah, it would be impossible to look up. And they're like, well, you know, you could look up. You could see every time they took a lead. Nah, too much work. Well, somebody did look it up. We should be crediting them.

Instead, we're stealing it, not crediting them, and you're not even looking it up. Ladies and gentlemen, journalism. Chris Cody, learned from his father. Also, he said the first five. I knew that was BS. Of course. Please give me a break.

Jeez. OK, there's so many stats off this game, Stugats. But last night, OK okay to punctuate that Series and end that loser franchise that way. Mm-hmm The Florida the Florida losers there, but they are there their historic losers They play in that game when they do they always lose it like and and no one ever loses it like that Like in the hit like that doesn't happen at home. But they knew it was gonna happen. They knew, they knew after the first goal,

they knew that's how that was gonna go. Like that, Toronto is a sad sack franchise of 0 and 7 in all the games that matter. That's not the great staff. This is the great staff. Just from the, in the last couple of games, you had the Florida Panthers champions in the situation. They had to win two out of three on the road.

They were an overtime goal from being down three O the road they were an overtime goal from being down 3-0 Stu gots they were an overtime goal from being finished and then they've got to go on the road and win two out of three in Toronto and we could admit right you've seen those crowds they were trying to believe they they wanted to believe they were an overtime goal from being up 3-0 and dethroning the champions. After that happened, the Florida Panthers didn't merely score 12 goals and outscore the Toronto 12 to four. It's so many goals.

Yeah. But not so many goals, like that'd be one thing. What if I gave you odds on what I'm about to say say what odds do you think if I told you right as game? Five was beginning. Here's what's gonna happen. The Panthers are gonna get 12 goals They're gonna all be from 12 different players and none of them are gonna be named Kachuk or Barkov Is that the stater what kind of odds do you think you'd get on that twelve twelve goals twelve different players none of them are barka bark off or could chop that's not but that's a depth that makes this year's panthers team better than the

last two because because at the end what you've got finishing toronto is the greatest toronto finisher of all time marshland is now five and all against them in elimination games their own seven in their last seven this goes back to two thousand thirteen and the most amazing thing that happened yesterday it's why my crimes not here today that tower

after the game paul mary said i used to hate him hates a strong word but i didn't know him he's the opposite of the person i thought men here's the quote he's a wonderful human being it It's the most shocking thing to happen in the last three games. A goal and two assists for Marshawn and he punctuates it by stabbing that country in the heart. It's gotta make him crazy that it's a swamp in Carolina.

And Dallas. Take it the three teams remade, three of the four teams remaining. It's got to make those losers in Canada crazy. Now you're talking. Did you see there's this one clip where they're watching, what's it called, like Maple Leaf Square, whatever they call it, outside. Oh, in my veins.

Where they're all watching outside the arena. And I don't know if it was at three nothing or maybe it was at four one. This one rogue Maple Leafs fan, he pushes his way through the crowd, bumps through everybody and just dips. Just by himself, walks out with everybody staring at him in shock. Oh, I loved it. I feel like you spoke to the depth of this series

is the story of this series. I can make the argument our third and fourth, well the third line was clearly the best line in the series. I can make the argument that the fourth line was the second best line for the Panthers. I know Barkov and Reinhardt were actually really good in this series defensively. Like they didn't put up stats scoring,

but I just, Zazz, the depth of the, is that not the story of this series? Look, I don't know if it's the story of the series But I think the Panthers fourth line was better than the Monter Matthews line I think that that three goals from the third line one goal from the fourth line secondary scoring for the Panthers really carried them I think the story is especially with the way that the series ended The two acquisitions at Bill Zito made Marchand and Seth Jones game Seven in a game seven,

you found out what Seth Jones is about. Nobody likes I told you so guy. Sorry. Roy is I told you so guy. We have established that, correct? Seth Jones my dog. I also told you that they would win game five on the road, lose game six.

And I told you so off? And win game seven. Oh my God. I'm just saying. Isn't I totally, Everyone was right. Roy just was just generally confident. You know what? I asked her before game five,

I told you specifically, gonna win tonight, gonna lose game six, gonna win in seven. Is that on wax? Do we have that recorded somewhere? Let's find that, let's find that. Stugats, can we put together an I told you so off? Like you would totally be the host of an I told you so off. I did text Roy after that first period.

By the way, just for the record, if you don't know what we're talking about and you did not watch that game, you've got Toronto at home and the best part of these gold calls is what I'm gonna play for you in a second because they edited it out and it's just tremendous. But these people know hockey.

So when they're seeing 75 shots in two periods, they're like, oh good God. Like we were totally lucky in that first period and this is an onslaught of we're going to dent the goalies nipples because 75 shots is an insanity. Dan, at one point in the first period, late in the first period, Kenny Albert with a straight face said on the broadcast that the Panthers

are out shooting the Maple Leafs 26 to zero. And I'm telling you, after all that, because I know the Leafs, after the Panthers dominated the first 10 minutes, the Leafs kind of got their act together, but after that first period, Panther fans were kind of feeling good, wasn't I was like this is four straight periods we haven't scored I was starting to see the boogeyman even

though we were playing well we weren't getting goals so I was terrified I was I've never been happier that's Seth Jones goal get going in oh the noise I made Stugats I don't want to think about the noises that you made what's worse and I told you so off, or Tony, who just got here, now claiming he's the good luck charm? It's a sacrificial one though, Dan. That's where it's like,

it's sacrificial in the sense where any time that I stop watching, they do well. Anytime I bet on the other team, the Panthers win. So yesterday, I was locked in on the game, Dan, okay? And first one that I've seen start to finish, except for little bit and I'll explain why so my wife looks at me Hey, what's for dinner? I said, I don't know. What do you want to pick up something? I said, all right during the first intermission I'll go out. I'll get something. I'll come back right first intermission was quick It was a quick 20 minutes all of a sudden. I'm on my way back three goal scored because I'm not watching

Cuz I'm not watching right Because I'm not watching, right? So I was watching the first period, bam, bam, bam, shots going in, off the side, off the post, wall, bam, grabs one, I don't know, whatever they call that. This happened to a lot of Panther fans, no, no, this happened to a lot of Panther fans. I got a text from my friend John last night, in the middle of the second period,

he's like, I went to put my daughter to bed after the first period, and we started scoring, I'm still laying in her bed watching on my phone. This guy knew what he had to do. When you are laying down in your bed watching the game and you're putting your kid to bed and they score three goals, you don't get up from that bed and go back downstairs.

You stay in that bed while your kid is sleeping watching the rest of the game because it's good luck for you to be in that bed. And thank you, John, for your service. Thank you for what you did last night. I literally said to my wife last night, after the second period, she wanted to go upstairs and go to sleep I said listen you could want that all you want you're not going anywhere

You've been sitting right there the scores four to one you're not going anywhere You close your eyes if you want but you're not going bed times 915 my daughter didn't go to bed till after that second You're not leaving in the middle of this second period where you scored three goals in six minutes So right I watched the heat come back against the Bucs from a bathroom because I went to the bathroom, they were down 16, they start coming back, I stayed in that bathroom. It's that guy to answer your question, Dan. The guy who thinks he's doing the things that help the team win. I know, I don't like that guy.

I don't like when our show becomes that guy. It works, Dan. It works. It might have been different if I didn't do that. You don't know that. You guys are pathetic. I have one more example of me being a good luck charm You're pathetic narcissist sure possibly team needed me exactly exactly. Thank you Game was a game three. They're about to go down three over time. We're watching with a group of friends

I go I'm gonna leave I'm gonna walk outside right now the Panthers are gonna score because if I'm here they won't score They'll lose if I'm not here They're gonna score they're gonna win. I walked out two minutes later BAM Save the season. Thanks. You just wanted to smoke a joint, right? Were you outside when they stole your gimmick were you watching as I was disgusting no I was I was locked in so I'm watching the pregame, all of a sudden a guy called Biz, I don't know who he is, who is he?

I don't know who he is. I'm just getting into the sport, buddy, what do you want me to do? Would you believe me when I tell you that he played in the National Hockey League, but never played for the Leafs? What? Well he grew up a Leafs fan, but yeah, he never played for them? I thought this guy would be like their all-time leading

scorer or something. So I'm watching the thing. I'm on the couch. My wife's got the baby. We're hanging out. All of a sudden, this guy gets up from the dais there, starts walking over to the side of the set, and then he starts lighting a candle.

My wife perks up. My wife, who knows less hockey than I do, she goes, that's your bit. And I look up from my phone, and I'm like, son of a she goes that's your bit and I look up for my phone and I'm like Son of a bitch that's my bit. Can we please zoom in on what this guy Biz Nasty is doing? He's lighting up candles for all the stars these eerily similar thieves these thieves they really similar Dan lebatard to us Very particular and one of a kind San Boseli Belita okay, look at at that I don't know

who these guys are but they're imposters look at the original one right there for yeah look at the original right there and I lit it in the studio huh okay and that that has been war torn right there that's San Boseli Jags were down 21 nothing okay we lit the San Boseli all of a sudden Bam Jags win greatest comeback of their life who is this biz? Who is he? I don't know, but he's a thief and we're cut out. Yeah Put it on the pole at Levant are you? Me and Zas low are wondering how many hockey terms Tony knows we will quiz him in a moment Let's figure out the game show in a second. It's fun for the entire family

Let's quiz him and ask him questions in a moment let's figure out the game show in a second it's fun for the entire family let's quiz him up and ask him questions in a moment but i just want to read you guys some stats because seventy five shot attempts are are the most allowed by any team this season through two periods regular season and playoffs it's crazy uh... you you have all right that's the largest margin of the game seven loss at home in NHL history It's tied for the previous record. They've been playing a hockey a long time

You do not lose game seven at home that way like I've never seen it I don't know what I don't know when the last it happened one other time don't remember it couldn't tell you I've never seen it. So what was it 1912? How long is hockey history as long as ice has been frozen? You never see a game seven look like that when one of the teams is at home. Okay, so I thought I was good with money. Turns out I was really good at ignoring it. Like how am I spending this much on delivery or Uber or that one shoe store that I buy too many shoes from. Then I started using Monarch money and dude, it's a financial wake up call.

So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice, because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to. There is nothing funny about it.

Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network and also provides coverage across 99% of America. Seriously. Visit boostmobile.com or your nearest Boost Mobile store location to learn more. The Boost Mobile network, together with our roaming partners, covers 99% of the US population. 5G speeds not available in all areas. Don Lebatard.

World War III. Stugats. We're gonna get that off the ground. World Raw 3 colon our group chat has a pretty good feeling about this one. This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats. that you guys mentioned. Tim Reynolds says all Bill Zito has done is get Paul Maurice to unretire, land Matthew Kachuk, sign basically the entire core to team friendly deals, win the Cup last year and this year he had Seth Jones and Brad Marchand at the deadline and they lead the way to a game seven road win GM of the year. Hockey started November of 1917. Okay so tell me the last time what was this was tied for the largest loss at home ever and this is what brings me to the greatest part of these gold calls i

i'm telling you stood out because i've never been able to do this before i've never had this confidence that i know what i'm watching is top of the game excellent but it doesn't matter that toronto was better in this regular season because the panthers are best at the hockey stuff that works this time of year we learned it they change the whole blueprint the capitals what they just in the playoffs that happen

to the panthers that don't work in the playoffs and so while i'm sitting here i've got all technology available to me the way that i want to listen to hockey game is the way that i learned hockey in this market on our radio show because Randy Mohler was loving this team on the radio when no one would listen to it because it was a funny little thing in town that couldn't make sales work,

like failed ownership after failed ownership. I learned to love it on the radio somehow, which is ridiculous. It's not any good on the radio. That's not the way to watch hockey. If you have, well, you're not watching it, you're listening to it. Thank you.

Well, I feel like it's like Mike Ryan's reading where it's... I was reading the audio book, but listening to it. So I feel like radio is watching when it's done well. It's one of the reasons that I love radio. So this is how I decide to listen to hugely important games. I simply, Zaz left here the other day saying, and he's like, God, I hope the Panthers get up one nothing. Because then you can hear the fear through the audio

if you're paying attention to nothing else, none of the distractions. And so I decide via YouTube and one of these streamers who's just doing a radio call, I'm listening to the Toronto broadcasters call this game. And what I'm listening for after their sadness, which is great enough, is the silence that comes afterward in the murmur of those losers know they're going to lose.

In my veins. Those losers know they're going to lose. They know the Swamp owns them, owns their country. They know that Florida owns hockey there the last 10 years, and all they do in this situation is lose this game every time, and you can feel it in the building and you can feel it in the audio. 2002 Western Conference Finals, the Avalanche lost to the Red Wings, 7-0, game seven.

Okay, so it did happen in my lifetime. Again, this was before radio and hockey and I fell in love with the sport. I want you to listen to the murmur and this extends through that garden all the way through the country. Like it burns through their forest, they wake up sick today.

They know they're losers, the swamp owns them. And listen to the silence in that arena when they weren't booing or leaving because they were doing that too because once it's three nothing Everyone there knows what am I here for the guillotine? Like am I gonna just sit in this in this sadness listen to the silence after these goals They continue to be aggressive It's a four goal lead with just over 10 minutes to go.

So hollow. I think I was able to hear the jersey hit the ice on the ground. They were doing that, huh? You can clearly hear the music, like, so clear, because it's just so hollow in there. Good acoustics in that building. Now, Lorsan sends it down into the empty net. An exclamation point off the stick of Marshann, his third point tonight

as he will go 5-0 in game sevens against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sounds like a Marlins game. It does. Play it again. Brad Marshand is now second all time in postseason points against the Maple Leafs. Second all time. history of the franchise, behind only Gordie Howe! Now, if Mike wants to do the whole take of, I'm not gonna root for him, that's his prerogative.

But the whole he's not good thing, I need an apology for that. Because the guy has just, he's made the third line better. It's just, he's great. And I need an apology from Mike. How is that possible? Can you cut up Chris saying that as the ultimate compliment? Just he's great.

Just that you were trying to articulate the flowery of prose and you just quit in the middle of your sentence. I mean, I just was trying to find the words and great was the word. It really works. You found it. Nah, let Mike keep doing this because the Panthers are winning.

The Panthers are winning despite Mike. Actually, he might know what he's doing here. Again, with this narcissism, we're the reason they win. Again. That's right. No, I mean, it's just asinine. I just said that guy is annoying,

but Mike has to stay entrenched. He does. I mean, he's helping him out. Okay, look. This is, this, I believe Mike Ryan strategically took this position because he wants the Panthers to win so badly that he will do the ultimate sacrifice,

that he's Jesus of hockey. He will be loud wrong and stubbornly loud wrong as content the entire time. And if he's the most wrong at the end, he gets to celebrate because Marshawn has won an overtime of game seven of the Stanley Cup final with a goal to give them the season and he will then have won even though he is the loudest, wrongest loser from here through Canada.

Speaking of being trenched in a terrible take, Whitty will join us in the next segment. Well, they've been looking. I've felt bad for the producers today because they have spent the last two hours Mining through the rubbish that is the sound from us at the Cleveland er when Chris Whittingham after Hubert Oh was traded quit the Panthers forever They tore apart a team that was amazing like from fan standpoint, like I go to a lot of games and I just enjoyed every night going to the arena

thinking that the Panthers might score 10 because it was a legitimate possibility. They might score 10 goals. They only want the cup. The coach came in is like, the style is gonna change. We're gonna play playoff hockey in the regular season. Listen pal, if you're six points out of the final playoffs spot, you're not playing playoff hockey in the playoffs.

I just enjoyed the team. I liked the team. It's been bad for the Florida Panthers for 20 years. I can't fathom that after two years of unprecedented success for this franchise, they'll be like, you know what? After that unprecedented success, we're done with it. Listen pal to Maurice is one of the most

disrespectful things I've ever heard. Listen to me, listen to me pal. Maurice is one of the most disrespectful things. Listen to me. Listen to me pal. I mean Zaslow fired him. So I just, I can't believe that Chris Whittingham would show his face in public. Listen pal. After, no that's part of it.

Yes condescending Paul Maurice is one thing. Again, Paul Maurice's record since when he said that 27 and 0 anytime he has a lead after ah, period. Man, these guys have no idea what they're talking about, huh? I did dub Paul Maurice that year, the murderer of fun. Yeah, you did. You don't get away with that.

Everyone needs to know that. To be fair. Yes. It's actually a good take, because he is, just the other team's fun. To be fair. Whittingham should not show his face in public after that, but also to be condescended by anybody with a listen pal is one thing.

For that bespectacled polysyllabic broadcasting foof with his gelled hair to hit you with a listen pal as if he knows more hockey than you just because he's 30 years old and a child prodigy who gets to call soccer games. How about anyone in South Florida telling a hockey lifer, listen pal. I love it.

Whittingham is the most wrong anyone has ever been about hockey. Do you understand that? And basketball. He called Yonison number two. Yes, he did call Yonison number two. Do you understand that? And basketball. He called Yannis the number two. Yes, he did call Yannis the number two. Again, I only know soccer, guys. I don't know when we're gonna understand this.

But honestly, we are creeping into the territory where this Panthers take is worse than that Yannis take. Because that Yannis take is atrocious. He's one of the best power forwards of all time. I want to nominate this right here. I wanna play it again and nominate this right here as a Hall of Famer all-time wrong take. There are others, but in the history of the show and the history of spoken words, given

that, God, I'm coming in here today and I'm saying, oh my God, the Panthers have the best thing. They have the most excellent thing. It's not temporary. They will go in and do that to you, and I will have the confidence to listen to it on the equivalent of the radio, because I know I'm gonna enjoy silences, because they're better than you at this kind of hockey,

even if they were worse than you the rest of the regular season. And, and, and Wittingham, again, they do murder fun. this kind of hockey even if they were worse than you the rest of the regular season and And and winning ham again, they they do murder fun. We said last year wasn't it great They're in the corner for 90 seconds mcdavid's right in front of the net the puck's not coming out We know the puck's not coming out, but the fun was murdered there Once we scored last night I wanted mikala to play the entire game in the corner just throw the puck down the mikala god. I love when he's on the ice Mikal almost killed the referee.

He did, that also happened. That was scary, man. Was his eyeball out? What happened there? There was a good 10 second chunk where we all thought he was gonna lose an eye, but luckily he got him right above the eye. How about that backup referee coming in?

I just imagine that guy's probably, the backup referee never goes in, so I'm imagining that guy's got his feet up, eating a burger, just like, ah, this is my free game. Just watch, oh, shit! I wanna get to this most wrong take, and I want other nominees in our show's history. I've got a couple.

But the idea, Stugats, that they're, I'm gonna say it again, because it's equally ridiculous. 12 goals by 12 players not named Kachuk or Barkov would be as ridiculous a stat to me as 12 goals by 13 players and none of them are Kachuk or Barkov. That stat makes no sense to me to get 12 goals from 12 players in the most important games of your season. Well, I can understand Kachuk, Matthew Kachuk not scoring because he is hurt. He looked bad. I said that too. I said that too that he's hurt.

Another I told you so. You're that guy now. So you're not hitting anybody. So wait a minute. You're that guy. You're the guy. Roy should be that guy. No, but all of you are now doctors. You're now doctors and you're the guy who points at your television and says, ah, he's too hurt to be out there. We just know our Chucky and he's hitting people,

but it's not the way he normally hits people. I'm a doctor. You concur? I thought you were a judge. I'm not a doctor. You know? But as a judge, do you want to make a ruling on this? Is Kachuk hurt?

Judge Zaslow rules inconclusive evidence. With prejudice, inconclusive. Do you guys want to quiz Tony now? Do you guys have an assortment of questions to ask Tony? Roy, did you come up with any game show music that could support whatever it is that Zaslow is doing here? I did not. You did not?

You just stared straight ahead, grinning maniacally, because the Hockies have you intoxicated and made you forget to do your job? That's right. OK, so you're just sitting there smiling. I mean, the Panthers won, Dan. I know. OK, so hold on.

He's just been singing back here like humming. Like, it's Roy's day, man. I mean the Panthers won Dan out Okay, you know what I'm sorry, you know what I'm sorry, you know what I made this mistake during the last hockey playoffs where I was Elbow room with the cup and I was yelling at him. So I'm not gonna make the same mistake this time. Thank you. Roy, the floor is yours, but while you're talking about whatever it is that you would like to say about the Panthers, can somebody please get me game show music so I can play the hot new game of Tony gets quizzed by Stu Gottson's ass because someone's executive producing

the show instead of just smiling at me because the Panthers have him drunk with power. He's just like, what's up, Dan? I'm here. So please, Roy, Roy, you were not scared. I texted you, you're scared, and you're like, nope, we had it even more. We is what you said.

As soon as Drake made that giant bet, I believe you were taunting Drake on X. Yes, I was., yes I was. You were very excited. Yeah, he's been a loser for the past year and a half and once he put money down in this game I knew the Panthers was gonna win. And the way the Panthers looked

in the first 10 minutes of that game, oh that was classic Panthers. The only thing they did do was finish. What about the second 10 minutes? What about the second 10 minutes? Yeah, that was a good concern. That was scary. I made you nervous.

That was a good concern. Everyone's analysis of that first period, tailored to periods. It was. 10 minutes, it was just like all. That was everyone's analysis of that first period, tailored to periods. It was. Ten minutes. It was just like all nine people that I heard talk about that period. It was hilarious.

It absolutely was a tailored to periods, but second and third period, it was game over. As soon as they get their first goal, I said on Twitter, currently known as X, that once you get Bob two, it's it. That's how well he was playing. That last 10 minutes, that's how great he was playing. Nobody likes this fan base.

Nobody likes this team. They are the murderers of fun. Everyone hates this show. This conversation of swaggering around, I told you so, we're the baddest and the best because you beat the Leafs. And what cometh this way is scary. Canada's only got one chance, but I'm scared of it.

What, Winnipeg? No, not Winnipeg. Winnipeg's out, Stu Gottson. Oh, they're out. They lost, Stu Gottson. That was a story right there, more shifely. He lost his father on Friday and decided to play game six on Saturday.

And he scored, he played an excellent game, but he got caught with a penalty on a breakaway and the star scored in overtime. You can't call that penalty. So it's his fault you're saying that they lost. No, no, no, I'm not, no, no. It was a two or two game for him. It was wild to go from he scores the first goal

and you're like what an awesome moment to going to overtime, he does the penalty and loses them the game essentially. He was stuck in the box. So the Oilers won that series, huh? No, the Stars. The Stars. What was the matter with the Oilers? You know, huh? No, the Stars. What's the matter with you?

You know what? Hold on a second. The Oilers won two live shows. I mean, the Oilers did win, right? They won something. They moved on, right? They beat Vegas. I had some oil. Monopetal, only two minutes to delay a show. show. The Grateful Dead has gotten him.

A lot of you have been asking where is Dugats and we thought he was going to be here all last week but when the Grateful Dead ransack him he will see a thousand Sheshevskys across a thousand desert miles for a thousand days. So much shoe polish. And we've lost him and so he hasn't been paid attention to sports and I'm gonna say just generally the last four years of mushrooms has fried what little remained of his brain.

I'm just grateful he's here. Thank you, Jeremy. You're gonna have to leave as well. Whoa! Yeah. Yeah. Minor penalty, two minutes, high-sticking. You're two for two on those, by the way.

You found those buttons really well. I'm learning. Give me time, I'm gonna figure out this radio game. The sound board, what, we're a podcast? All right, our game show's ready, we have our host here, we have our music ready. But I love Roy just grinning maniacally in the middle of this and just forgetting to do his job.

And I wish, can we get him a crown or something? Because I really do want to do this better than I did it last year. I failed Roy, I owe Roy a public and private apology because he was at the elbow room and the trophy was there and I was yelling at him. And just that group of things shouldn't be together. I got dibs on that beat if we win again this year.

No, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, we can maybe both go. That next day, I'm gonna be there. Shirtless. Whoa! Hammered. Whoa! I just remember last year sitting in this room that day

just being like, why am I not there? Shirtless, hammered, and pink. Okay, can we not? Whatever you need. Okay, can we not talk about what we're gonna do when the Panthers win Stanley Cup again? You're right. You're right.

You're right. Such an annoying show. And Carolina, you should be scared of Carolina. Admit you should be scared of Carolina. Admit it, admit it, admit it. We swept them the year before. No, they didn't sweep them. Rob Bintmore said that was not a sweep.

Yeah, that was okay. I mean, they were two overtime games, so yeah, sure. No, I will say though, Roy, it's similar styles with the Hurricanes. That scares me a little bit. Yeah, but the Panthers are better at that style than they are, so.

OK, and he will be confident, and this show will be annoying. I'm sorry for that. I apologize in advance. I told everyone to pace themselves. We're here. We are officially a just buzzsaw of annoying as a show. The people who do not like hockey

do not care about what we're doing and when it becomes, I told you so, I had that more right. I was correct, I'm the good luck charm and I was superstitious and sitting on the right seat in my couch and my wife knows when it becomes that show. Nobody- Remember John in his bed. Keeping his kids in bed.

Nobody likes that show. Thank you John. Nobody likes that show but you know the show they do like? The most wrong take in the history of this show. Roy's just smiling at me again. He's not doing his job. He's a part of a team that was amazing. Like from a fan standpoint, like I go to a lot of games and I just enjoyed every night

going to the arena thinking that the Panthers might score 10 because it was a legitimate possibility. They might score 10 goals. They only want the cup. The coach came in and is like over the style is gonna change We're gonna play playoff hockey in the regular season listen pal if you're if you're six points You're six points out of the final playoff spot. You're not playing playoff hockey in the playoffs I just enjoy I enjoyed the team. I liked the team. It's been bad for the Florida Panthers for 20 years

I can't fathom that after two years of unprecedented success for this franchise, I'd be like, you know what? After that unprecedented success, we're done with it. What an asshole.
