No, LaTang's already got the massive one.
That's not going to look good at the end of it.
No, sign another one.
Sign another one?
Yeah, but he's not eligible.
Again, hit me.
You're 25, sir.
Hit me.
So tonight, and we unfortunately just couldn't get together
after the Leafs game tonight because, you know,
it'll be at 10 o'clock tonight.
The Leafs lines look a little bit scary,
close to what we think they might look like in the regular season.
uh this is kyle cushman potentially you know putting the lines out that this is what was
practiced today uh nize matthews marner which we expect domi nylander yarn croak which we expect
patch ready tavaris grabenkin grabenkin we're going to come back to i don't think any combination
of those guys skated together well and then cowan quillen reeves on the back end we've got riley
tanev oel mccabe weber lilligren and noah chadwick will dress as well along with joe wall and matt
murray not anthony stallers uh and and then on the senator's side uh i just want to read you out
this lineup because the senators are really treating this like preseason and the leafs are
not this happens every preseason though it's the next game the sends will have a juice totally and
the leafs will be and that's fine who are these people uh crook shang pinto batherson noah gregor
way holiday amadio another former leaf coolaman god debt another former leaf to the former holy
that's four um mckeown i think wasn't he too no no um you know what screw it for the bit yes
reinhardt jenik uh borgo and then petterson uh and then jenik i'm sorry how alan walsh would
roll over he's unique yeah that's right he's unique unique unique uh and then we got hot
sambacho that was a noted mispronunciation uh is this yakum chuck is that how you pronounce it
yakum chuck uh yakum chuck uh tyler clevin uh artem zoob donovan sabrango and max guinette
and and then obviously how who's seen mad so guard in the game before i've seen mad so garden
what game did you see mad so garden oh i don't remember the exact game why not he's an up and
coming goalie i thought you were gonna make a bigger deal of a potentially 45 year old dustin
takarski i can't believe he's still playing he is the most journeyman of journeyman like good for
him yeah good for him yeah i mean hey man keep going keep playing he played playoff games for
montreal in 2014 and adam he's still here in the 22 23 season so guard made 23 ish starts for the
ottawa senators oh like or nearly 20 starts for the senators like it you know i'm sorry i wasn't
watching that closely that year well yeah they made themselves difficult to watch after yes
like christmas yeah but still unless they were playing the leafs and beating them
yeah they were terrible they were great they were all-stars against the leafs it was crazy
the dumbest uh thogar played 19 games had a 889 save percentage eight wins six losses
three ties wow he has a he had a winning record yep good for him with an 889 hey it might go for
the cup martin jones did that for years winning record yeah where's martin jones this year has
anybody checked in on martin i don't think he has his deal no no which is odd because he was fine
yeah i liked him he was totally fine i i was i was thinking about that when we were i was prepping
for our season previous and i'm like i wonder where martin jones went anyway um now a couple
of changes at camp a couple of things that i wanted to hit at camp now we talked about this
a little bit last night on on our live show but in case you missed that um there is always a player
that we as a fan base fall in love with.
Whether or not they become the superstar right away,
Fraser Minton looks so good.
And then they played the first nine games with him
and he looks so...
It was like three or four games.
And he's like 18. It's okay.
It's fine.
It's fine. We're not upset about it.
But I think Nikita Grabenkin is your early season fit for that.
Here's what Craig Berube, who's not big on praise publicly,
said.
He's big. He's strong.
I was impressed with him.
It was a tough practice.
But his pace didn't drop off.
He's big.
And again, he repeated this big, strong kid, powerful skater.
There's some good stuff there.
I love his size.
Now, what's interesting about him is his pick, the pick that got him, according to Kevin
Pappetti, was the pick that the Leafs got for Travis Dermott.
Isn't that crazy?
Really?
Yeah.
So I'm going to I'm going to pull this up.
I just wondered if you remember this.
i thought dermot was they got a fifth rounder from vancouver and grabenkin was a no sorry a
third rounder from vancouver the leafs took hilda b towards the end of the fourth round in 2022 then
they took grabenkin sorry and then yeah that and and the leafs traded travis dermot for a third
round pick then traded down uh and that third round pick uh got uh to add the grabenkin pick
and that's basically how they got okay isn't that neat it is neat i if if this kid wasn't
coming off of playing in the KHL out of sight,
out of mind,
if he wasn't drafted in the fifth round a year after he was draft eligible,
we'd be talking about him the way we talk about Matthew nice.
Like,
I think it's very similar skillset.
I said this all in the,
in the live show yesterday,
but in case you don't have time to watch both,
I think what happened is if you go and look at his MHL team,
which is like junior for the khl if you go and look at the year the leafs drafted them 22nd
overall the 22nd overall sorry they drafted them in the fifth round they had it was might have been
222 that's why i said 22nd they had the 25th pick before they traded it to chicago in the
morassic deal and they got 38 and got minton but knowing they were going to be picking in that
range they scouted that team and Danila Yurov was on that team he went 24th to Minnesota I'm
pointing at the producer's chair you can tell Hayden's in today um and 44th overall uh it was
a guy I can't remember his name but he went to the Blackhawks so the Leafs were like okay there's
two gifted players who are going to be in and around that range for us uh and I guess they
saw Gerbenkin and they were like this kid's pretty good right that's just my theory I don't know that
that's true but i'm assuming if you ask around that'll that'll be what we come up with uh ryan
reeves called uh camp the one of the two hardest days he's ever had at camp uh and it wasn't second
so i love a soundbite ryan uh it's a good soundbite it's good for a good quote yeah i also
thought it was interesting luke fox reported that um in previous years you heard a lot of music at
camp no music interesting like during like during the uh the rushes and that sort of thing i guess
keith under keith they could play music under berube it's hardcore focus no music your uncle's
gonna love it your uncle's gonna love that is that gonna make a difference i don't know i don't
really know it's just it's probably he's a new coach and he wants them to hear him properly like
keith was like ah this is the same team as the last two years i'm sure you know what i want let's
play some tunes and get there for any other team in the nhl if we were to hear that we'd be like
that's stupid and unnecessary who gives a damn for the leafs i'm like good any edge any edge please
good any edge like the the last night i think it was jesse went all right how are we feeling about
the team this year oh and it's a room of like how many people were there 200 it was bone chilling
malaise like it wasn't booze it wasn't cheers it was just uh yeah people let sound vaguely
seep from their vocal cords like it was no one's stoked on this why should they well we're not
getting into that i have a question for you off of the first preseason game is why the berube keith
thing you're talking about yeah i've uh the more we hear about like the end of sheldon keith's
tenure and now the beginning of berube's tenure do you guys think that towards the end of it
keith was kind of checked out i don't know if it was checked out it's that um so babcock was bad
cop keith comes in and he's mary poppins like he is everyone's just so stoked he's there and he's
so positive and where's your hometown kid i'm putting you in make sure you put up a big
performance for ma and pa and as the years went they needed bad cop again and the transition to
bad cop just didn't work right like i i think going you can't come in as one and then become
the other is what you're saying i think it's easier to be bad cop and then be occasionally
delightful right then it is to be good cop all the time and then put your foot down right i think a
lot of the time you get a little man and babcock was i don't think he was i don't think he was
delightful in any no oh you're no one's going to accuse him of ever being delightful across the
board kind of mean maybe checked out isn't the right word maybe it's more just content with how
things on he was he had an inability to change anything is that by the end of it that is whatever
was happening at the time whatever the players were at those moment sheldon keith couldn't do
anything in his powers in terms of strategy or motivation or yell just anything he couldn't do
anything to change it it is what it was the you know usually when a coach is on their way out the
door you see them have like a signature freak out because this is their last gasp the freakouts that
we saw with the Leafs at the end of Sheldon Keefe's tenure were the players yelling at each
other because what's not fucking junior bro stop fucking crying bro it's not fucking junior
i clear as day and i mean i'm sure keith said something along those lines a hundred times
before then walking it back immediately the next day yeah um anyway not getting too much into that
Remember when he got fired, I was fully convinced he got it.
He understood what ailed the Leafs, but like you said, he was powerless to change it.
He was like the Matthew McConaughey meme.
He's looking through his past self in the space movie.
No, no.
He can't change it.
No, it truly felt like he knew what was wrong, but he was powerless to change it.
Yeah.
and now he filled out all my notes for the season preview for the devils i think he's gonna really
enjoy coaching that team and uh i think berube is gonna be very tough i think he's gonna be very
fair uh and i also don't think he's gonna have as much rope for bullshit well and and and again
we talk about it a lot but sometimes the same person saying the same thing just falls on deaf
fears and you have a different person say the same thing you're like you know what that doesn't make
sense yeah i think even his video down at down at lakeshore like in front of the water saying
goodbye and everything there was a sort of contentness with it i'm gonna float off into
the sunset into the ocean because i've accomplished all that i can here jesse can you bring up a
picture of craig berube sure i can do that i thought you were gonna say can you bring up a
picture of sheldon keith in what looks like heaven no not that um it's actually kind of funny that
that keith ended up with the devils because i think about the south park movie and kenny's
going to heaven and that's and then he's like and then he ends up with in hell
what happened with keith right
all right let's have a look at uh craig brube tell me tell me you're saying no to that guy
tell me you're telling that guy to fuck off no you're not and and here's the here's a guy that
was a tough guy in the toughest era of the nhl like that hayden can you go closer yeah
no it's jesse that's all it's jesse hayden can you go closer anyway not the mouth jesse the
eyebrows it's the eyebrows it's the look at the ridge no it's the it's the if that frowns at you
that's not fun there's a not a lot of boxers have like weak jaws like he just looks hard to knock
out you know what i mean yeah like and that was his whole nhl career was yeah he was pretty hard
to knock out right right yeah he uh no i think he'll command respect yeah i think that's the
case and and uh and a fun little story from camp moving on from craig berube and his tough guy
ways of shutting the music off shut the damn music off we're gonna focus and win the cup
a fun little story that'll help them win uh patch ready and gerbenkin uh have had uh pondis
holmberg at center this is according to uh lance hornby of the toronto sun but tavaris will be
moving in there tonight um and apparently patcher ready has tried to have little off-ice conversations
with gerbenkin because he doesn't have um gerbenkin doesn't speak much english patch ready
speaks a little russian because his wife is the sister of maxima finneganoff oh i think i did
know that i didn't know that maxim often agadam that's uh sabers legend sabers legend that's very
random isn't that random i just thought i didn't know that yeah say that one more time so so i
guess patch already has tried to speak to gerbenkin off the ice a little bit and and you've seen this
with the flyers with uh is it kosalov uh who is not reporting to camp because oh kolosov that's it
not reporting to camp because they don't know why but maybe the the the russian factor the language
barrier might be part of the reason and they're talking about that with mitch koff as well um
although he's reported um you can be very lonely people if you're here and you don't speak the
language so patch ready he's trying to speak english to him because or sorry russian to him
because he knows a little because maxima finnegan off is his brother-in-law first of all that's
wild second of all i don't think people properly appreciate how important nick antropov is to this
organization yeah he he's native Kazakh but he speaks Russian sure and um you know it
at any given time there haven't been more than two Russians on the roster for quite a while
yep um and he's always been there I was told um uh he was a big part of whatever that few weeks
was or that month where ilia samsonov disappeared yep antropov was a huge part of rebuilding him
and well i think we could talk about what we heard at the easter seal tournament last yeah
at the easter seals tournament so he was a draftable celebrity every year we we do a this
lindros tournament where all the 15 ish uh nhl alumni show up and you can draft them and they
hang out with you all day and they can be on your team tell great stories that kind of thing tell
great stories yeah antropov was one of the draftable celebrities and he got uh like a ping
on his phone that night like we actually need you tomorrow and so you draft them at night and then
the next day you play the games and he's like i can't play the games but i'll talk to you tonight
and tell you some stories like yeah there's nothing because he was he was called away
to rebuild ilia samson yeah and he he's in the tournament every year yeah right he was and it's
never an issue they brought him in to directly talk to Ilya Samsonov that's the key yeah and
Samsonov whose English was never the strongest right which is part of the reason why his quotes
were always so great yeah um but uh yeah no they they the organization needs that guy bad yeah so
anyway I just thought that was a neat little story um and we'll see how the game goes listen I'm not
putting too much stock in tonight's game I think you just kind of look at it and go oh that's fun
well I mean no correct I tried I tried to galaxy brain that no it's the first preseason game
you're right if this is the last I see of Mitch Marner and Austin Matthews and William Nylander
the entire well maybe not William William's starting a new position but if this is the last
I see to play more if this is the last I see of Marner Matthews I don't even care
like of in this preseason yeah because like why why why what are we doing well you know they got
to get acquainted I don't think they do I think I think they know each other and I think you just
kind of go um maybe you play them part of one other game but I I don't think you need to see
them very much i'd like to see what else they have i want to i want to see tavaris patches
grabenkin whatever the hell that it like the matthews martyr nye's line should be playing
i would say the fourth most tonight yes at highest third yeah it's a pre-season game yeah
absolutely we'll see how it goes um a uh because they're talking about the sins and i'm sorry i'm
i'm all nasally and sick and a little tired from last night honestly i don't recover don't bounce
back the way it used to um i got it the sends have a new arena deal hey i saw an arizona coyotes
account uh say that should be us um we did mention it briefly on friday yes dropped yeah so we know
a little bit more and so there was this was interesting because what i thought i saw some
tweets where and lauer who i really like as an owner was saying well we're we're not we're not
here for a handout for how are we going to pay for this because the price tag is probably a
billion dollars right a lot of money yeah and it's not just an arena it's a whole entertainment
complex is going to be um accessible apparently from both sides of the river but i i took this
from bruce garyox article um he said the senators and the ncc uh have to take some time with this
one the decision for the club to purchase 10 acres of land on a site located west of parliament hill
is significant because it allows the senators to be accessible from both sides of the river which
is a major part of of the geography of ottawa um and if you're from like pittsburgh or you're from
uh any city like calgary with a uh you know water right through it it does actually matter right
having to go through bridges and that sort of thing well i i remember at a at a puck talks event
now we're going way back years and years ago uh pierre lebrun who's one of the most you know
respected insiders uh he i don't remember what prompted this but he was talking about the biggest
mistake the senators ever made and one of them was they didn't make enough inroads in quebec
yeah because it's they're right there yeah they're right there and i think it's just assumed most
quebecois nhl fans are going to cheer for the montreal canadians but like for a huge swath of
Quebec like Gatineau especially they're right there right there so they got to ingratiate
it's like it's like Windsor Detroit almost you know what I mean like they're that there's a ton
of Red Wings fans in Windsor and and and so when you look at this and so that was something that
Ann Lauer brought up he's like that's something they are going to do uh Cyril Leder who's uh one
of the heads of the Ottawa Senators now um basically said that they would need some sort
of federal money in some sort of way and Ann Lauer said it shouldn't cost taxpayers money
There's a nice balance about the economic output.
So I think what he was suggesting, and this is what Bruce Garriock says, in the past is
the similar model to the funding of Rogers Place Arena in Edmonton.
Under that scenario, the city chipped in $300 million through a community revitalization
levy, and then the team paid $165 million.
So the idea being that the city makes the money back off the taxable revenue that the
complex creates.
When you invest as a city, you get back.
yeah you get it back over x amount of years or something like that in the taxes because people
and the other thing that i know senators fans are going to love is like um there are benefits for
all i'm not looking uh this is not a money grab it's about being sustainable i do not want our
fans paying 200 for a ticket 30 bucks for a beer or 50 bucks for parking which is a beautiful shot
across the bow at toronto edmonton and vancouver and that's what he should be doing that's awesome
if i'm a sense fan i'm like yeah also leave a war for this guy leave fans don't want that either
no we don't know we don't we don't we don't like that at all it sucks might be the first time since
2017 and leave fans have been jealous i know i i like this guy this is he's an interesting
a really interesting character um here's my question though you build a billion dollar
arena guys and complex how does that not happen oh just magic i think it's a myth that well it's
not it's not a myth but it's been proven that you don't need to charge crazy amounts for food
because the atlanta falcons have done this for a long time where they have really low prices on all
their foods and i can bring them up but like they charge five dollars for nachos and beers like four
bucks and it's a thing in the two dollars for popcorn like it's a thing in their stadium so
i'm going to atlanta that sounds yeah it's not it's not necessary to charge ten dollars for
everything you know like it doesn't have to be 15 for a beer it's just if you want to maximize
your revenues as a business it's the smart thing to do because that's what people are willing to
pay for things but if you want to be kind to fans out of just the goodness of your heart you can
charge a lot less and you'll make money back on like ticket prices and everything i'll say that
um one of the things that you can do that i noticed when i was going to games in tampa
was they basically sold sponsorships on literally everything so even the grill was the ford grill
like if i wanted a burger it had a ford logo singed in the bun yes and so maybe that's the
way they think hey we can keep the prices down a little bit here is is we'll sell like like the
leafs have like the hot stove lounge and whatever else they have yeah and berkey's dog house yeah
whatever that yeah whatever that was and what none of those are like sponsored in that way it's just
here's the concession so i wonder if that's the route they go they got to get people in the seats
priority one right and this is a huge step here's my betting uh uh from talking to a couple people
is that they're not even going to get shovels in the ground for at least a year here like this is
gonna be a long long go so uh we're thrilled for senators fans this is great but we're talking
about half a decade here before they're it's gonna be a while yeah yeah and that's okay takes a while
to build arenas you know it's not an overnight thing yeah i have the menu for mercedes-benz
stadium in their concession so about 2017 ish i was reading there's a forbes article with the ceo
of the falcons and he was saying the biggest complaint we had at our old stadium the georgia
dome where the falcons used to play was the price of food so we said why don't we try a new thing
called street pricing we're at our stadium we charge street prices for food so it'd be two
bucks for a hot dog two bucks for a coke and all that kind of stuff and these are the the prices
they still maintain today for their food items at mercedes-benz stadium in atlanta it's two dollars
for a pretzel three dollars for nacho and cheese six bucks for chicken tenders five dollars for a
cheeseburger three dollars for a pizza slice and on and on and on and they found that souvenir cup
is four dollars that's insane i want any other stadium in north america no i want every sports
executive in this city arrested yeah and what they found is that they're the feedback from the fans
is incredible obviously they'll get a hundred percent on all surveys about the food pricing
but they found people buy more because it's super cheap and they make back the money in other ways
and the goodwill is paying for the lost revenue that they're not making there you can't get this
at an ohl game no no my god well and it's american dollars too right so canadian dollars still
even still in there and then the beer in the corner there behind steve is five dollars for
bud light draft beer like wow yeah what's it what i didn't go to a jay's game this year because they
weren't worth the money but what did you guys go one how much two games how much okay how much for
a beer there uh i don't know like 13 13 50 or something like that right which is roughly eight
or nine american dollars yeah i guess yeah right so life's just insane right now that have i talked
about the ice cream truck i think you probably have you want me to do it again i i don't know
this story okay is it the ice is it where you didn't have enough money for the ice no oh no
that's a different one okay so i was so excited because i hear binga diddly dinga dinga dinga
yeah and leo hears it and he's a little boy very tiny little boy and he's like what's that i'm like
that's the ice cream truck and he vaguely knows what the ice cream truck is and he's like let's
go and i'm like you're not wearing pants he was just wearing underwear because he's a little boy
and that's what little boys do and so i rush into the dryer and i grab him pajama pants and he looked
ridiculous i'm like put your shoes on put your shoes on which i say 50 times a day and we run
out the door and we look both ways for cars and we we catch up to the ice cream truck and i'm like
i'm the best dad i'm the as i clutch the cramp i'm the best dad this is my son's first experience
with an ice cream truck i'll i'll have a a twist cone and my wife will also have a twist cone and
leo what do you want a rocket okay we'll get you a rocket pop sixteen dollars
sixteen yeah yeah sixteen dollars i remember two cones and a rocket
who needs to go to jail name names do you remember the baseball glove one that you could get which
was two dollars yeah i remember back in the day you'd have like like like a fudgesicle from that
would be like a dollar and then that would be a dollar fifty but the dollar fifty was a bridge
too far for my parents they would not do that they would not spring those are like 10 bucks now
dude you get it's crazy you can buy ice cream with the bullshit you find in your couch yeah
yeah 16 yes yes oh yeah we take interact now oh i guess you do eh yes apparently there are
so i don't have to carry around a sack of doubloons to pay for two cones and a rocket
apparently there are conversations already ongoing very low level not anything soon
but we're running out of reasons to have dimes and nickels oh get out of what that's so well
you think about it right like we got rid of the penny it was like well nobody really missed that
well the penny made no sense because it costs more than a penny to make a penny yeah they were
the canadian well all governments were losing money on making pennies yes which which seemed
counterintuitive i thought the states still had them the states does have penny oh and they lose
money on making pennies yes which seems like it doesn't make sense that's money so yeah that made
but like a five says i think you need a dime you need a nickel what do you need a dime for when's
the last time you used a dime in a transaction see clearly you've never been at an islanders
game and been mad at the other team figure it out adam i never have you've never been at an eagles
game have you hey there's plenty of places on your body that you have hair and manscaped has
you covered have you heard about the dome shaver pro was the dome shaver do if you decide you know
what i don't need this hair or genetics decides you know what you don't need this hair but you
have some hair left over and you need to shave it manscaped's got the dome shaver for your head

you're richer than you think well listen save your nickels save your dimes because fanatics
have released their jersey prices and people have lost their minds now man i want to i want to save
this and i think it's important okay um uh i think that we it's fair to say things are more expensive
than they used to be it's fair to say that fanatics didn't have a great launch even though
apparently that was more nike's fault uh with mlb it's fair to say all that oh with baseball yeah
and that's that's more a nike thing apparently uh what is unfair is to assume that the top level
jersey is the same as the top level jersey you could buy with adidas now jesse i'm sending you
a link on this one yes please because people are looking at this and in american dollars
to buy the top of the line jersey absolute replica it's 450 american dollars or about
626 30 canadian so austin matthews gets ready for a game i'm buying essentially his jersey a
500 jersey i'm the same thing he puts on yes what i'm buying for that amount one of the things that
i remember people complaining about when adidas took over is that level of jersey was not going
to be available anymore they just took it off the shelf they just didn't sell that's right because
reality is when when do you really need an authentic authentic jersey it doesn't fit you
well fashionably no when you like it when you i don't care when i like it it does not fit you
properly yeah it doesn't fit a human being properly right that fedor gordiv practice jersey
i bought i've already gotten rid of it well yeah because it looks stupid yeah unless you're wearing
hockey equipment it looks stupid so so what what fanatics has done is they've brought it back it's
called the authentic pro now it is a level above what you were able to buy last year god and so
people are like i can't believe the price is hold on so that's not it that's right because the
premium price which was the top of the line it's called premium top of the line last year
is the same price oh the breakaway which is the more fashionable it fits your body a little bit
whatever probably a little thinner and yeah a little thinner and and and um and more for the
fan experience really got it that is the same price as last year and the practice jerseys are
the same price as well now it is going to cost you money to get it customized so american dollars
here practice jersey is 120 breakaway which is your average fans jersey 135 blank 175 customized
canada it's probably over 200 bucks to get it custom no it's uh 160 and 200 160 and so you said
135 and 175 and the canadian is 160 and 200 oh okay yeah uh so the premium which was again the
top of the line that you could get last year jesse what's it in canadian dollars 200 200 for blank
okay and then and then customize probably another 30 or 40 bucks what's your guess
that's my guess is 250 250 okay in american it's 180 230 yes not crazy no about what it was right
but i think people see the eye-watering 425 american 600 something dollar canadian
and go who the hell would buy that and i saw it and it was alarmed here's the answer guys
collectors ah you take it you get that autographed and that is what collectors want they want the
authentic piece you are probably unless you're rich out of your mind and not really fashion
forward not going to wear the authentic jersey around that's something you get signed and put
in a shadow box yeah the jersey you want is the premium jersey which is 250 canadian which is the
same price it was in june that's right like got it nothing's really changed here the ranting i
have seen and i get it i get it but the rant i i get it because that's eye-watering money for a
jersey but i also think i i'm i'm old enough to remember when they took that jersey off the shelves
because they said nobody will want that jersey that's what the that when adidas took over it
was like oh yeah nobody wants remember it was reebok before that adam am i a big hockey fan
you're huge i didn't know that yeah no we talked the vast majority of people didn't i know we
talked about it on the show though and people were were mad about it but when was that probably a
decade ago you know yeah that's what i'm saying so i'm not surprised people don't know this i'm not
either but i thought it was a good idea to tell them hey that is very not that crazy no fanatics
is doing a good thing here yes they had previously under the ideas deal it wasn't available and now
they are making it available to you and that is the cost to buy the jersey from the factory
that Sidney Crosby is going to wear.
Yeah, according to HockeyJerseys,
which is one of the big fan
HockeyJersey accounts online,
really, really good spot to go.
It hasn't been available
since Reebok left the sport
10 years ago.
It is not the same as the Adidas one.
The only difference,
so I guess there's like dimples
in the shoulders.
Do you want me to read it from Fanatics?
Sure, yeah.
It's in the press release on NHL.com.
I'm hating to bring this up.
So this is the release on the jersey lines
and all the four new categories.
The Authentic Pro, the jersey we're talking about that's stitched from the factory.
They write, cut, stitched, and assembled in the same Canadian factory
that has made NHL on-ice jerseys for nearly 50 years.
That's in Quebec, right?
Yes, in Quebec.
The Authentic Pro features the exact specifications that the players wear,
including elevated fabrics and sewn-down, multiple-layered tackle twill
with 3D-embroidered crest and shoulder patches.
That's a mouthful.
The Authentic Pro retail jersey also includes an additional layer of fabric
inside the lower sleeve the exact same detail on the new player uniform which is intended to reduce
material wear from sustained friction against the boards essentially they print the jerseys
for the players they print one for you you can purchase it yeah got it and you haven't been able
to do that for a decade so it's there pretty cool yeah i think it's neat and and and for collectors
out there people that will go and try to get these things autographed it's great it's awesome i had
absolutely no idea right and and and i and again i get the i get the outrage but i also think it's
misplaced and uh from everything that i've read people are actually really impressed with what
they're seeing so that's good i haven't like i mean the mlb stuff was just horrible across the
board yeah hockey i've seen largely positive yeah yeah it's great uh so anyway just thought i'd hit
that because that was a topic to shore uh moving on from that to somebody changing jerseys do you
want do you want some quotes from some of the players because so yeah if you want earlier in
the year fanatics called in some players to test out the jersey oh okay and then so we got some
quotes from guys that i wanted i bet they're real interesting yeah i think i think it's funny
whenever hockey players say things all right let me guess let me guess jesse won't add to really
our understanding but it's hockey players talking okay all right this is what austin matthews said
about the fanatics jerseys fanatics did a great job designing these jerseys they feel comfortable
and look breathable which is important during games any little detail that can help us perform
at our best makes a difference it's kind of nice yeah all right good good quote austin all right
uh connor bedard said the fanatics jerseys look good i like that there is not a lot of change
from the older version and i also like the design of the new practice jersey thank you
thank you connor bedard jack hughes said fanatics made a really good looking jersey
it feels great the devil's crest looks amazing and i look forward to wearing it on the ice next
season there you go well hey at least who's not fired up jack hughes has a point of view there
does that not fire you up guys who's not kicking through the drywall right now
let's go they all said in their first lines they're good looking jerseys
austin said fanatics did a great job bedard said fanatics looks the fanatics jersey looks good
jack hughes says fanatic made a really good looking jersey just nhl players giving us the
best quotes they are fantastic stuff screaming wow i'm ready i'm ready to move you know what
i'm surprised that those didn't make a graphic on tsn and sportsnet for that to get screenshotted
and put on a bunch of aggregator accounts we would have seen them 40 million times
as just a just one of those sizzling quotes of the all breaking news ai tweeter tweeting account
this jersey looks good all three of them should have just said damn that's crazy
it got us to the same spot yeah um i do want to move on switching jerseys uh kevin lankanen uh
signed in vancouver now uh if you're not familiar with kevin lankanen pretty solid little goaltender
with uh the national predators indeed behind uc sorrows who soaked up a lot of the oxygen there
and rightfully so um so here's the interesting thing lankan is there because their other guy
is dylan ferguson she loves is not totally healthy and demko is not healthy and what's
interesting is i got a quote here basically he didn't make a lot of progress throughout the
summer this is demko yeah i i feel like i hear a different thing every day i i do too because i
was looking for some stuff jesse yeah you you know something on this that i could not find yeah so i
i i watched all the so he spoke to the media yes there were it was really awkward because um patrick
ovian didn't really want to say anything before demko could say anything so like all week they're
they're just throwing around the the ball and nobody's saying anything about demko and finally
he comes out i think it was thursday or friday morning or friday morning pretty sure he talks
the media and he says that what he has is um it's not a knee issue it's a muscle issue and the muscle
issue hasn't been found in any hockey players he was telling he was saying that his doctors
haven't found this in any other hockey players and the muscle injury they've only found it in
five soccer players wow so what injury is it so he didn't he didn't specify what's going on with
the muscle it's the itis but it's something with the muscle and some sort of muscle injury that
hockey players don't get but he didn't say the muscle he didn't say the exact injury he didn't
elaborate it's muscle itis obviously i can read i can read some of the quotes he had you never had
muscle itis oh i have body itis go ahead the exact quote demko gave is we haven't found a single
hockey player demko said of the injury we found maybe less than five soccer guys it's just not
too concrete. It's been a little bit of a frustrating summer just to get some answers.
Obviously, we talked to all the specialists that we can around the world in North America and even
overseas. And this is the information that we've kind of gathered. Myself and the staff
and the organization are fully confident that we're on the right track. I did hit a bit of a
wall in the summer as far as the recovery went. And we did see a little bit of a lack of progress
there for a couple of months. And obviously, that's why I'm in this situation that I'm in
right now. But I would say, you know, in the last probably two to three weeks, we've seen a ton of
progress. We're very confident in where I am right now and happy with that. And he can't really give
an answer on when he's going to be back. Had you asked me a month ago, I really wouldn't have been
able to tell you. I would say that we are on a great trajectory right now. This is the most
confident that I've been in the rehab process up to the date. Hopefully just keep progressing week
to week i'm not going to sit here and give you a timeline but yeah like i said i feel real confident
where we're headed and hopefully i'll be 100 sooner rather than later so you know how they
make us decide what we're going to do with our lives like way too early i this is what i for a
while thought i was going to do with the rest of my life i was going to go to school for for stuff
like that the human body is fascinating to me you thought you're going to be a doctor no like
kinesiology or something something like that like like physio rehab stuff like that it's it's just
there's a muscle injury they've never found in a hockey you know how many hockey players there's
been and five soccer players you know how many soccer players there's been that doesn't mean
it hasn't happened it just means they haven't reported it well they haven't like they're
hockey players i was like recently something hurt i was talking to my trainer about it and he's like
well here's your leg and he was showing me all the muscles like on your quad or whatever it was
yeah and then he shows me a different picture of your quad and the picture is all the muscles are
different and i'm like what what is this you're showing me he's like oh this is the second layer
yeah and i'm like layer yeah like sometimes i like if if you get hurt two or three if you
injure a muscle two or three layers deep how do they even find that out how do they even know
yep all that stuff is so fascinating to me but uh it's it's not my muscle that's screwed up it's his
and i i do share a frustration in trying to get better and you stagnate like this must have been
an extraordinarily frustrating summer for demko because you're putting all this effort into
rehabbing and you're getting nothing out of your hard work if you remember back in the playoffs
they said Demko would be ready
if the Vancouver Canucks
advanced far enough in the playoffs.
Yeah, that was the word
from man in game one.
He'll be ready for game seven.
If they can make it
to the Stanley Cup final,
like he'll be there
if they make the Redminton
and all this stuff.
And since then,
he's still not healthy.
So that's how tricky
this muscle injury has been.
And during the offseason,
Demko also revealed
that he had another surgery
that was preventative,
but he's recovered from that
since it was like a two week recovery
and all that's fine.
So that's nothing to worry about.
But he did have another surgery
and this thing's just lingering and week to week they'll evaluate jeez wow yeah i want to go back
and do our vancouver preview again our season previews are coming out on the sdp on youtube
channel if you aren't aware they started releasing yesterday the vancouver one's up already yeah uh
at this rate if demko isn't healthy like if say next week he's because he's week to week they
come out and they're like okay uh it's actually a bigger setback and demko's not available for
most of the season that changes this team entirely it does um the regular season's very long how long
is it boys and girls and that's right um but like i think they could get by for quite some time with
like lincoln and silas yes but there's a difference between getting by and predicting them to win the
division yeah that's what i'm talking about yeah like predictions uh by the way stupid idiot did
that i'm looking at the comment section and and literally the video went up and everybody's like
never fails kevin lincoln and signs with the canucks right after this goes up yeah and it
was 100 that's that's the nature i do want to say though i wanted to talk a little bit about
kevin lincoln because i think this is i'm surprised this goalie went this far without a contract
and i you know he had one year two years in nashville one where he played 19 another where
he played 24 9 16 and a 908 save percentage that's fine especially that's really good
Especially if that guy, if he can give you a 9-10, right?
Right in the middle for the first two months
and then let Demko figure it out.
I think it was Elliott Freeman made it sound like
it was a lot more Lincoln's choice
rather than he couldn't get a job.
Like something happened a couple of years ago
where I was like, this kind of sucks for this player.
Aaron Dell wanted a contract with the Leafs.
So he signed a contract with the Leafs.
And before he plays a game with the Leafs,
he gets waived which was not a surprise and guess what now you're no longer a leaf yeah because
you're going somewhere else you just signed a contract to play with that team you move there
hopefully you didn't unpack so now you're not there this is a reality for goalies right um
kevin lankanen is interesting because he knows he's a good enough goalie that teams are going
to want his services but right now he's going to a team that's not going to waive him right like
guaranteed not going to wait that's true that's true so he knows i can sign in vancouver and i
know i'm going to stick there uh for a little bit hayden you got something to say yeah just
you guys mentioned martin jones earlier i'm surprised they went with lankan instead of
martin jones like he's still there i think i think lankan's numbers are way better and he's younger
you know lankan is 29 uh and has worked his way up had a cup he had one good year with chicago
and then the next year was bad but chicago were so bad jones was like jones was bad for a long
time that it was almost shocking that he was still in it he yes he was he's duct tape he's
like he can get it done until the professional arrives and that's basically what he did with
the leafs last year and i suppose that's what lincoln is being taxed with but he's a little
bit better than than duct tape like uh this time last year if you were to ask uh your average fan
who's a better goalie kevin lankanen or archer silovs who no one had seen right you would have
said kevin lankanen then silovs you know steals a bunch of games in the playoffs and holy crap
um this is why i said i think the canucks can survive and maybe even thrive with lankanen
silavs but and there's no one's a playoff on that you goalies find magic in the playoffs remember
akira schmidt anton hudobin yeah where's the cure schmidt now he's the third goalie in vegas
i don't even i think yeah i think you're probably right vegas yeah third goalie in vegas and he was
magic lights out for the devils the last time they were in the play magic got a big contract
and was immediately not worth it now i think archer silavs has he actually has real potential
and but he was very mediocre in the regular season last year he was five and five and that's why
Canucks fans when he went down they were like oh this isn't great this is not super he had an 881
save percentage in four games Demko at his best is top five Vesna Vesna nominee yeah yeah yeah
no so I understand how that's a bit of a pickle but then in the playoffs so much better although
still didn't have a uh he did not have a higher than 900 save percentage it was an 898 but he was
great who was this silas oh so you lankan and to me silas can go down lankan and could be your
backup you still got time to find out what you've got and i i like this i like the signing for them
a lot and i like it for lankan because he feels to me a little bit like an anthony stallers where
anthony stoller signed here because he knew there was a real opportunity to define himself finally
like he's got a real opportunity yeah i think so because you can remember stallers was uh behind
john gibson in anaheim and then behind bobrovsky and and then took knight's position away in
florida yes and now he's coming to toronto with an unproven joseph wool who we're all high on we
don't think he's going to be good and he's got a real opportunity lincoln's got it too and it's
coming later in his career guys undrafted it's a good story goaltending so weird like i i i think
i've said this a few times but um when hudobin was uh dragging the dallas stars to the stanley
cup final yep in 2020 i i want to say he was like 35 or something when he was doing it i was like
how come this guy was never really a starter in the nhl and i went back and looked at his career
and there were very few times where you could go back and be like yeah he was pretty bad he was
pretty bad and then he was okay it's he just kept playing behind better goalie yes like or or proven
starters right like uh oh i'm gonna sign here and who's this duke arras guy and like and it just
kept happening that way for him and sometimes you just need an opportunity and it takes a while
johnny bauer was like in his 30s when he became an nhl regular and what a great opportunity for
him too like this is a team that should should win the division or should challenge at least
that's amazing they'll be in the conversation yeah fine um uh dawson mercer unless you have
more to say on vancouver no dawson mercer has signed an extension uh with the new jersey devils
we were talking about what the matthew nye's extension might look like yesterday uh because
somebody asked us in st catherine's and i wonder now uh with a little bit more of a
sobriety sober thought if this sort of bridge deal is something that is similar to what matt
nize might get if he continues on his trajectory it's a three-year contract annual average value
of four million bucks he had 33 points last year he had 56 the year before and 42 in his uh opening
season 18th overall pick during like that weird 2020 draft because everything's been weird about
2020 of course um he is a center so that plays into this he's played a lot of wing though he
okay so but can't i guess can play center i don't know sure i mean that's most high steve do we make
adam say what he said yes oh i'll say it i can't remember we'll say it i said terrible i said if
we're going if you're going oh no no you're gonna get lit up i'm gonna get nice gonna get like 60
points this year no all of a sudden that's not gonna be crazy whose contract you want to give
i thought it was i bet he picked a forward no i didn't uh i steve brought up genther i didn't
bring him no that's not what you said i said genther i brought it makes sense because he's
the floor it's on a recording adam you can't bend it anyway this is they're being you're doing
who did you say unsolicited why do you who did you not you were not forced to say this person
i said like what the senators did with jake sanderson meaning they locked up a young very
good player for a long time yes when he was relatively unproven and yes noise is more proven
for what he is than Sanderson was
at that time. It's arguable,
yes. Right? It's arguable. We now know
more about Nyes than the Sens probably did
about Sanderson. He's played more games.
Except for Sanderson, I think, is the fifth overall pick.
Yes, that's fair. Yes. But I
feel like it's not outrageous
with the cap probably
crushing, what, 105
in the next five years? That number keeps going up.
No, it doesn't. I just don't
trust it. It doesn't keep going up. I'm
talking about three or four million bucks a year
For the next five years, that would mean $20 million from right now.
It might be $108 million.
Peaches and cream.
All I'm saying, is that crazy?
Is 6% or 7% of the cap crazy for this guy?
Matt and I can probably get that Jake Sanderson contract.
Why not?
Because they're the same player.
Guys, nobody said they were the same player.
That's what I'm saying.
See, they're lying to you.
I didn't say it that way.
Why did you use him as a comparator?
Because he was the first guy that came to mind,
which which is the archetype of sign the rookie guy to the long-term deal so you don't get
toronto'd uh where you know hey the leafs could have had mitch marner at eight and a half million
dollars oh man he only scored 65 points nah all right let him let him prove himself 94 points okay
so so that i do you see what i'm saying yes with dawson mercer i'm very i'm salty i'm mad at him
why because he was supposed to be my i'm very smart pick in fantasy last year and then he was
booty he started the season friggin terrible he the holes jesse can you look up when dawson
mercer got his first point yeah first point or goal two seconds he was terrible um and i waved
him and then he's like oh i think i'm gonna score first game and i was very upset it was very
awesome mercer scored his first points on november november yeah november 5th he scored a goal that
was his first point of the season how many games did he play before that that was the 11th game
of the season you stink there you go oh i'm so mad at him so 33 points in 82 games it was actually
33 points in 72 games after that first game where he scored then he scored three goals in four games
oh my god so i was so fucking mad oh my god that's a very steve fantasy get out of my freaking face
Dawson he didn't really light it up from then but like that little week was good yeah you know
three goals one assist he's like finally I'm free you're you're somewhat onto something with the
production comparable but what you said was well even if they wanted to sign Matt and I's to an
eight-year contract they can't because they're going to be two the Leafs are too locked up so
Dawson Mercer's contracts might be a good comparable because it's a bridge deal it's
well it's like in the middle it's a prove it deal more for dawson i would think yeah it's i i don't
know if you're buying ufa years uh he's 22 no i think it walks him to free agency um if i'm not
mistaken the genther deal i believe buys ufa years um you'd like to buy ufa years that's obviously
the goal um but any guy who can get you i mean geez he was flirting with 30 goals two years ago
he's still got you 20 in a down year last year and keith likes shell and keith likes a high
flying offense they're gonna score a shitload of goals they're gonna score they might be well
they're probably top five in the league in goals i think this year is that hard i've like timo
we learned nothing timo meyer had like zero fucking goals last year i know well until he did
we're we're talking about the devils the way we talked about them at the beginning of last year
the difference is there's reason to think it'll happen right as soon as lindy started scoring
yeah no one's lost a game um no so that's my personal grudge with dawson mercer mercer is
going to be an rfa at the end of this by the way oh wow yeah yeah still uh damn still not a ufa by
the end of this deal okay yeah it's truly a bridge deal in like every sense of the word
that's great yeah you know low aav not ufa at all i think that's that's what nice needs like
this exact thing like that's what you gotta do with nice here it's it's difficult what i was
saying yesterday is it's difficult to give him the eight because so many other things with this
team are unclear like oh yeah let's give him eight oh and you give tavaris and marner an extension
and all of a sudden i have no idea like how you're gonna pay this player the genther contract for
example so you're probably looking at something more like this with uh hundred percent it's it's
very convenient that that's dropped and then we were asked that question yeah it's a perfect
comparable yes thank you uh how many thanks for once dawson who's his agent thank you that's uh
i don't know dawson issue like a formal thank you puckpedia what do we got out pat brisson hey
thank you pat brisson that's great we appreciate it thank you for doing this for one of your 40
clients yeah 40 clients 40 of the nhl you mean like it's it's crazy um yeah how many captains
with C's and A's
do the San Jose Sharks have
this year
what is
it's trivia how many
players are wearing a letter for the Sharks
oh okay
well they have one captain
right Logan Couture
yeah
and then a bunch of A's
is what you're asking us
four A's Jesse how many A's
I'm gonna say six
six A's
logan couture will continue to serve as captain mario ferraro will be the assistant captain
he will be joined by i don't want to be here barclay goudreau oh shit i was forced here
against my will yeah michael grandlin okay luke coonan okay and tyler toffoli
oh i nailed one off oh wait no i'm stupid ferraro will will wear the a's for all games
okay to foley and goudreau will serve as alternate captains for home games grandlin and coonan will
serve as alternate captains for road games so every other game on the road coonan and and grandlin are
going to switch a's uh every other game at home uh to foley and goudreau will switch a's and i
just want to say i feel really bad for their training staff because there's no way i'd remember
I was going to say, there's 82 games, one night this year,
someone's going to get the wrong jersey.
Yes, 100%.
One game this year, someone's going to get the wrong jersey.
And listen, figure out your leadership whatever way you want to,
but I just thought, Mike, that is extremely complex.
It is.
It is.
That's too much.
Whatever.
It happens with teams that are bad.
Well, they're in flux, frankly.
Remember?
Okay.
i remember the first year the leafs were good again um they had the outdoor game with the
remember the navy jersey like yeah no i know exactly what you're talking about and they're
they're the guys on the poster the poster oh no no this was the centennial yeah your
game oh okay we talked about this on the show because it was so agree we were furious they
would not allow lu or uh lou lamorella wouldn't allow because he didn't want them to get toronto
disease marner matthews or kneelander the only players anybody was paying to see that year
to be on any advertising couldn't do any endorsement deals could not be your you have
not earned your spot on this team so therefore you will not be on the poster so who do they have
this is how little the leafs had to try to sell tickets like like it's insulting morgan riley
great good name great name and he was on the rise but he wasn't yeah what quite what he is now and
now it gets dicey uh tyler bozak yes leo camarón yes all-star leo camarón of the previous year
i could give you all day you wouldn't guess if you unless you know the answer i know matt hunwick
he was on why why matt hunwick he should be the last person selected for fucking any matt
hunwick who by the way was was he not playing like um with riley with riley top line minutes
they have they didn't even try to make a good defensive core the toronto like those poor
morgan riley's just been and jake gardner too back in the day hung out to dry the toronto
maple leafs have been inflicted on morgan riley since 20 yeah they really have i think jesse's
trying to find the poster no no no uh he's the hero gotham needs and but those all four of those
guys it's important to note were assistant captains and there was no captain right until
john tavaris three or four years later uh whenever he was 2019 he played a year as an assistant yeah
and then yeah he was named captain yeah so matt hunwick matt hunwick matt freaking yeah that's
great um dom i thought we we should just mention this dominic's rim who you might know as the guy
that came up with cap friendly co-founder um he's joined the oilers as the director of hockey
strategy and it it goes back to what we were saying in the early spring which is just go ahead
and do and make the thing that you want to make because you never know what could happen tom
parashka who ran general fanager the cap that predated cap friendly the cap site that predated
cap friendly has a stanley cup ring he's a part of the management team dominic's rim i believe
worked for the sharks uh sharks and before that the blackhawks and is now director of hockey
strategy for the stanley cup game seven finalist edmonton oilers conor mcdavid leon dryside we
could have within about 24 months of each other general fanager win a stanley cup and cap friendly
win a stanley cup then that's not even mentioning the three davis brothers who just signed with
Washington right and what about um in in Carolina Eric Tulsky Eric Tulsky and um McHockey79 Tyler
Dello yes Tyler thank you uh I was trying to you know those guys were to go win a cup I mean like
it's it's these are literal hockey bloggers lots of guys blogging was a thing sphere yeah lots of
people from the blogosphere have gone on to work for NHL teams and currently have their name on the
Stanley Cup do it do it these are all people who got laughed at and called dorks and computer
boys especially by traditional media yeah hey people were like these guys are full of crap
all of them and look what they've done oops yeah oops right tough take tough take in retrospect
you know you got to drink out of the toilet sometimes yeah while others drink out of the
cup that's right or what is it or no does it it's p in the p in the uh what are you talking about
he's talking about david staples talking about pissing in a sink it's yes it's deep hockey
twitter um i want to quickly mention a couple other things too before we get to the press
conference robin letter did not show up at vegas camp but did make a quick statement saying that
essentially the people that knew about it knew why no and everybody was aware he said all i can
say at this time is everyone knows why i couldn't be there i am waiting calmly for things to be
sorted out vegas and goalies man dude logan thompson uh him too oh yeah now i don't think
that that i think that those situations are very different of course yeah but it's it it does go
with a theme what so if here's my question if leonard not showing up for his physical you know
a lot of players do this where you know if you're at an ltir ltir person and your injury is bad you
show up for physical you don't pass physical blah blah you have to all players all players who are
on long-term injury reserve must take a pre-camp physical to establish that they are still unable
to play that's not doing so could in theory lead to contract termination that was from friedman
who wrote a brief thing on on lenner and so he didn't show up but it was under the belief that
both sides in the nhlpa knew that he wasn't going to show up for the physical because we all knew he
wasn't going to play right but there was still this air of it still became a story he didn't
show up so they might be terminating his contract but that doesn't seem like it's going to be the
case and that's what was so interesting about it it was because if all sides knew
why are we being so cagey about that yeah why did a story come out well it was kelly mccrimmon's
comments because before leonard made his comments about like everybody knows what's happening here
kelly mccrimmon came out and say robin will not be reporting to the club this year he continues
to be unfit to play there are unique circumstances surrounding this situation the nhl the nhlpa are
working through um so him just stating that he's not showing up i think a lot of the reporters just
took it as oh vegas is kind of doing something nefarious here right and trying to work around the
contract termination not paying him the five million dollars five four point four million
dollars that he's owed this season so but that doesn't seem to be the case at all right it seems
like a big fire but everybody calmed down everything's kind of work gonna be worked out
he's gonna get us four million dollars they're gonna have to have to put it on lti i kind of
wonder if the story came out and several powerful people behind the scenes said don't even freaking
think about it yeah yeah yeah and i'm hoping those people were with the pa yeah because that's
ridiculous this is a bunch of shenanigans like well you told him not to show up we know he's
not going to show up don't try and bend the rules here get out of this 4.4 million dollar payment
and the other uh goalie who's a little upset logan thompson logan thompson uh talking about
his departure he's the backup goalie with washington now it's a good landing spot um
added a little bit of juiciness there uh the goalie or the goalie the coach he won a whl
championship with is kelly mccrimmon his wow who is his gm in vegas so for this to happen to thompson
for the well to be so poisoned there is man we talked about this every year leading up to them
winning the cup then there was a very brief hiatus and we're right back it's not that players
leave like shit it's not that players leave they leave pissed even jonathan marshall who is like a
god in vegas right he he was your playoff mvp the year you won a stanley cup and was an original
golden knight if it were up to mark andre flurry i think he'd still be a vegas golden knight
absolutely he was so beloved there and he loved his time there yep you know but they chose to
move on like it just with all of them it's like okay is there shenanigans there or are they just
ruthless so that's the thing logan thompson that's ruthless mark andre flurry that's ruthless
Jonathan Marcheseau they did try to keep
him and well if you
listen to his interview well he's like
they didn't really try that hard
so ruthless
that's a business decision
Robin Leonard
I mean it would have still been a business decision
it comes down to dollars and cents but this would
have been shenanigans yeah and I just
the reason I bring it up is obviously
we all know Robin Leonard's story on and
off the ice he's a great success
story because of what he was able
to overcome and come back from and i was just surprised if everybody knew why he wasn't going
to be there that this became a story that that surprised me i was like there's smoke here it
might be nothing or it might move on and be nothing but there sure seemed to be as you guys say
shenanigans people might forget who robin lenner was like maybe there wasn't a phone call and maybe
it was just him texting a picture of his face to kelly mcgrimm he was an intense dude sorry robin
Never mind.
Never mind.
Our bad.
Last one, and this is the one that slipped under the radar,
except for if you're a Winnipeg Jets fan,
Vinny Hainola, or Vili Hainola, excuse me,
I always call him Vinny,
is not out, according to a murid attest from The Athletic,
short term.
They discovered a potential infection during medicals,
and his ankle has now swollen up
at the site of the screw in it from last year's surgery.
He's cursed.
He's cursed.
It's brutal.
i feel bad for him because like this is a this was a really great opportunity for him and it
still will be when he comes back but what a pain in the ass this is that's i mean i don't know if
it is going to be a great opportunity when he comes back because this was a guy who they were
already like well i don't know if he's an everyday player and and now he's got to deal with this
and how long is it going to take him to get to optimal strength yeah maybe the answer is this
time next year yeah it's terrible and terrible and he's one of those guys again 2019 2020 and
2021 draft pick it's the worst they get screwed by by covid not playing it's the worst and like
when did they you know i i hate to drag everything back to the leafs but like a little bit like nick
robertson in that you're like oh this guy is playing way ahead of when he's supposed to
when what was he drafted at what position uh he was well it says defense no no sorry overall oh
20th 20th overall players who get drafted 20th overall do not typically play in the nhl immediately
no what happened uh he played with the winnipeg jets immediately eight games had five points look
great right and from that five points in eight games from that you can probably glean oh this
guy's gonna kick ass like as a defenseman especially yeah that'd be good numbers for a
forward yeah this guy's gonna kick ass and here we are how many years later five six yeah and he
still has not established himself in the league and and now he's hurt and now obviously he was
playing uh in 2020 2021 he did play 19 games for uh luco rama uh of sm liga but the thing with that
is it's only 19 games.
19 games.
That's so few games.
That's very few games.
Yes.
That's not enough games,
I would say.
Not enough games.
And so I think,
yeah, that just kind of sucks.
And it sucks for
Winnipeg Jets fans,
I think, who were,
I mean, this is,
this division,
we've done the previews for it
and they're coming out.
And I know Winnipeg
had a great year last year
and I still think
this is a great team,
but man,
what a tough division.
Like that,
especially at the top,
that's crazy.
I mean, these,
these uh recording our season previews for everyone during camp it's like trying to hold
water in your hands yes well things just keep happening and it's pouring everywhere that's
the business yeah exactly what are you gonna do it's fine there's no time you're gonna record
and be like ah no news is ever gonna happen nailed it a hundred percent all right let's
went 50 for 50 let's do the press conference all right uh we should also throw in there um
since we're on players being injured and out evander kane oh yeah it's not an update on his
his status um he's not going to be available until january or february at the earliest he
underwent uh surgery for the sports hernia um he also well he went he underwent surgery to repair
both abductors two hernias and two abdominal tears oh he had five things he had to repair in his body
is that good and he uh fixed all of it apparently uh so now he's just rehabbing my new favorite
thing is uh seeing these injury reports and sending them to my trainer and he just because
he just he fixes normal people yeah he fixes people who don't have to play in the national
hockey league and i just sent him this and he's like how does this how does he play like he has
aspirations of playing again the crazy how is he gonna do that the craziest thing about evander
kane in a season last year is that he said everything kind of flamed up last uh last fall
october november ish and that's when he started first feeling it and then we saw what happened
to him it come the stanley cup finals where he literally couldn't go anymore but he went all of
those months the entire regular season the entire playoffs up till the final moments playing with
these injuries i felt i felt for him in retrospect remember when they scratched him yeah and he was
pissed about it well he was pissed about he should have been more reasonable about it and the team
should have not let him hang on a on a line like that you know what i'm saying like i feel like
that could have been handled better he's got like 40 injuries maybe maybe just tell the press he's
not a hundred percent he'd i'd be pissed didn't feel like saying it i guess i'd be pissed if i
was playing with um abductor ruptures and hernias and abdominal tears and all of that stuff and
you're like you know what you're not good enough i'd be like do you see what i'm playing with
no but people they weren't just like oh well guess he sucks they were like oh he's he's playing
through something and then people said hey are you playing through something and he was like mad
about it so just say you were playing through something man yeah yeah i know i will all
understand yeah yeah like uh and it's across sports i saw a clip the other day as kevin
garnett he's like everyone on every team all the bench like everyone's hurt right everyone's just
hurt all the time so i think like kane looks at that and he's like it's not an excuse i'm out
there so i'm playing like i should be living up to the talent that's noble of him but it's
wrong but how often are nhl players hard-headed and silly about injuries and it's like he's
competitive against his body oh i think they all are you're injured i don't think you look at this
rationally steve yeah i think we've talked about that you have a collapsed lung and you're still
gonna play by the way he still had four goals and four assists in that run there you go like
stop looking i gotta keep stop looking at sports like a normal person you're not or it's not
they're not also i'm not yeah well that's uh what else we got let's start with this quick one from
canada dad strength silver couch surfer on twitter they write what 2023 2024 marley's
regular will have the biggest impact on the leafs this season steve dangle leafs or marley's player
from last season who you can foresee having a big role somehow in the leafs this year
uh i think the easy answer is miko coconut i'm miko coconut you stupid idiot dennis hildeby
um that's those names aren't no they're not the same not position i was going through the roster
and i was like maybe coconut no hildeby um there's a little glimpse inside my head that
doesn't work um no hildeby he uh was an ahl all-star as a goalie um as a goalie he's the
most likely to play um you you only get one spare at that position whereas there's so many other
spares up front and on the back end uh yeah i'll say him i got one oh uh joseph wall played one
game with the marlies you shut up that's that's not regular how dare you doesn't count what is
matt murray matt murray played uh he played three games three that's a lot more that's three times
as many three times as many games yeah no i i think you're absolutely right i think it's going
to be hill to beast he'll probably get what five ten games hill to you got to get him something i
mean in a way i hope not because that means someone's hurt yeah yeah i'd prefer for that
to not happen yeah i get that okay all right well we'll see uh next question jess next up i teased
this on friday um nhl car watch it's a leaf a canadian and a complaint oh we'll start with
the canadian uri slavkovsky who is driving a bmw this season oh he's not a mercedes
so here's slav with a bmw he tagged bavar what i can't pronounce that what is what is that city
where's this bavariat bavariat bmw there he is hanging out
is that slovakia yeah can you google that city w uh it is
uh while he's looking yeah keep going those are some shit kicking legs oh yeah holy shit
yeah those are nhl player legs right there he's already like top 20 top 15 heaviest players in
the nhl is it yeah he's like 21 damn it's stupid um he's gonna be just a monster slovakia slovakia
lavaria yeah yeah slovakia okay cool um so there he is in slovakia with the got a nice picture
it's a beautiful dealership in slovakia i'm gonna say this bmw's got a bad reputation for their
drivers i don't know if slaff's one of them but uh bmw drivers not the best reputation around the
gta very true i hope slaff if he makes a trip to toronto and in his beamer he drives a little
safer than the bmw drivers around this area here wait let me earned thank you i had a bmw for about
eight months yeah you're the type of guy who drives one yeah that track that track piece of
shit it was a three thousand dollar x3 and it cost me seven grand to keep it on the road and i said
i am done with this yeah but you whipped around with your season ticket i didn't get anywhere in
your bmw couldn't get it out of the driveway piece of crap freaking thing oh all right what
do you guys how many tires you guys give that one out of five tires give that a two and a half
it's a passing grade yeah it's not that exciting but it's a pass um he loses marks for it not being
at the actual dealership oh yes oh great point that is a key part of nhl car watch key part
uh he gets a two for the uh for the quads so that's that's it it's you're not even in the
parking lot the dealer's not even there what's the first time you're right what is this the first
time taking a picture with a car two out of five so i it's such a culture you know it seems like
it's more so with nhl players than any other sport they take a picture with a car at the
dealership they always have all have these car sponsorships and next up david comp and i don't
think i've been sent a post on instagram more than this one than the david you can even like
i was tagged in it here as well you can see this one on screen too there's massimo tagging me too
and i've said this a million times because people wanted us to get to this one david comp regular
man not driving the mercedes not with the porsche not with the beamer with the volkswagen
i like that the that's a man who's who's a family man the most family car you can drive
a volkswagen by the way it's a steve dangle podcast david camp car watch by the way
if you tag steve dangle podcast that's not us i don't know who made that account no that's
our account we don't we don't use it anymore oh we don't use it anymore yeah no that's been our
account that was our account for like 10 years oh was it yeah why are you yelling about that i
that's why i never followed it i was like that's not us no you you interacted with it many times
there was a was there were several fake steve dangle podcast accounts i don't sd podcast or
something like that all i know is the one you're talking about right there is our account and then
there's a guy that runs sdpn memes all right so focus okay focus adam what are you giving this
out of five tires get that a solid three and a half because he's at the dealership you even get
some of the uh the dealership uh uh are you selling we're buying your car hayden hayden what
do you what do you say he's he looks he looks like confused to be there no he's not leaning
on the car yeah i'm like taking points he doesn't know what to do with his hands he doesn't know
what to do with his hands great minds think alike yeah he has his stance suggests he's walking up to
an older sibling and going mom said you had to
take yeah right it
looks like a little boy who's like
dudes I don't know what to do like the mom's like
go go over there take a picture with your aunt
and then he's there
negative one aura yeah
by the way positive marks for the fit
positive marks for the car on a
diagonal angle yeah
we do like you're at you're at the dealership
which is key you always want to promote
where they gave you the car that's a point
I'm gonna go three oh three
tires out of five that's 50%
yeah it's not bad no it isn't that's oh no yeah what am i talking about over 50 you know
hockey players in the past used to know how to how to pose in front of a car i remember
doug gilmore and wendell clark did a motorcycle shoot they looked cool hockey players now it's
like like what do you give please take the gun away from my head what are you giving conf i'm
giving him a three and a half it's nice reliance oh higher than steve yeah i say three and a half
It's good.
Okay.
It's not great.
It's not blowing me away.
I've decided to get more ruthless with my rankings.
Yeah.
Both of Slaff and Conf went with white vehicles.
Doesn't show the dirt.
Conf has the white outfit.
White shoes.
Yeah.
What you doing there with the white van?
Those things haven't left the house.
Look at those.
Back at it again with the white vans.
Yeah.
Like it.
Oh, my God.
White vans and a white van.
No?
No.
Stop.
We'll work on it.
Do we have any others?
No.
those are the two we're going with today so we did the the leaf the hab and then let's get to
the complaint i bet it's me all right so we got a complaint here this is from ty bows ty bows says
as an audio listener the nhl car watch segment is probably one of the worst segments you have
ever done you guys spend like 15 minutes talking about random nhl players with cars we can't see
uh-huh well this is your time i tell look it up i tell ty fair yeah it's not oh it's yeah
you know when you're right you're right yeah i'm not gonna stop us yeah no no i'm not gonna stop
you're not gonna drag us down like that but like so what are the bachelor bios like when we're like
look at his stupid face no but i read a paragraph yeah right right right yeah yeah uh well you got
us adam as as somebody who who can fix this fix this for us with your extensive radio background
curating programs how would how can we do this better for the listener well in radio they would
say we don't like that stop doing it um don't do anything creative please ever the consultant
we got from california you might yeah you hi i've spent 45 minutes listening to your show over the
last three months yeah um and yeah if if don't you dare do anything that might be interesting
don't try anything don't even fucking talk just turn on the microphone and turn it off and collect
your paycheck go home thank you um i think we could probably do a better job describing the
picture like you know how when you get a text in the car now if you've got an apple carplay
it'll describe the picture that is sent steve dangle has sent a picture of a car and a little
boy and he's underneath a tree or something
and I'm like ah Steve sent a picture of Leo
because he's being funny today I don't like that description at all
I get a full like audio
description of what the picture is
yes and I think we could maybe do a better
job for Ty Bowes the
first time that happened to me
I was like the machines are about to take
over right right yeah
no I like it I like that feature
anyway so that's your
recommendation as our
if you were our consultant here that
would be your recommendation my radio yeah
uh uh no my radio my no that was no no if i was the consultant i would say just shut it down
don't do anything oh stop right so just play music um no we're gonna ignore that spotify
exists just play more music did you ignore that people can listen to any song they fucking want to
at any time any place no they want to hear the same song every 75 minutes they do it's really
it's what they need in their life and it's got to be a bad one to make sure it's bad yeah that was
uh imagine dragons coming up next demi lovato
someone people listen to willingly all the time sometimes they get a little mad
yeah sometimes they get a little mad all right so well we will for everybody listening on audio
because a large percentage of our audience is still uh podcast uh we will do a better job
describing the cars and the nhl players and how they are standing in front of the cars we used to
would do a bit on this show called uh what's happening in liberty village yes and it was just
a crazy ass facebook post from liberty village which were crazy and then we also did one for
the oshawa harmony dog park for a while uh and it was great it was fun and people used to like
come up to us at events and be like guys what's going on in libbage like let's don't so jesse and
i thought hey why don't we take that and use that on the local toronto radio station the consultant
heard it once and said i never want to hear that again and it was one of the favorite things that
we did and they're like no like that oh that i did and i was like man this this is a weird world
that we live in you know that consultant is just a thief right taking a lot of money they get paid
well they get paid real well to make to give bad advice all right i got that way two more things
for you guys and then we're gonna wrap here and apologies to everyone uh we did record on sunday
night before the leafs game and you're hearing this on monday morning due to some uh events we
got to go to on monday that we're going to talk about on wednesday for the amazon launch of the
uh nhl series that comes out with so we get a sneak peek of that and we're going to be able
to talk about a little bit of it come wednesday but then a lot more once the embargo and all that
stuff lifts so yeah we got that to do tomorrow and we can't record tomorrow in the afternoon so
you're getting us today last two things for you guys no here jesse so it's it's a player wearing
a black and yellow
jersey with white
accent. L-I-N-D
H-O-L-M
2-8
and a guy with
brown hair and a scar on his chin.
Last two things for you guys.
First thing, we
defeated the woke mobs.
Oh, good. Finally!
The woke mobs in Vancouver
told us that you had to put
an E in front of Pedersen
When there's two Pettersons on the team, you got to put the E in front of the name on the back of the jersey.
But in Boston, where they don't care about the woke Vancouverites, they decided.
Yes, spoke mob.
They have the spoke bee.
Hampus Lindholm and Elias Lindholm, who are not pictured in there, but one Lindholm is,
will not have an E or H in front of their last names on their jerseys,
which is the correct way to do it
because you have the number
which distinguishes which player is which.
That feels very Boston.
So Lindholm and Lindholm
will just wear Lindholm
on the back of their jerseys in Boston.
That feels very adult.
Yes.
That is the way, wow.
It's crazy when you don't
treat people like children.
It's crazy.
It's very grown up.
So crazy.
And you know what's crazy
is the kids know the jersey numbers
better than the adults do.
Damn.
I used to know like every jersey number.
All of them.
I don't have brain power for that anymore.
i have other things i need to think about i'm telling you still do you still do but i'm telling
you people can tell the difference it'll be okay right it's fine oh that one's the forward one
shoots right the other shoots left wow why isn't that lindholm taking center it should be r lindholm
and l lindholm right shooting lindholm and left shooting lindholm no just see it no why not no
it's fine boston got it all right thanks steve no okay last thing that was that was good i think
think we nailed that one we did yeah last thing at all here's a here's a game we're gonna pay
play based around nhl 25 okay first things first i think we do a franchise mode their new updates
thing on wednesday show so come up with a lot of people asking us hey what are your thoughts on
the new franchise mode i'm really impressed we'll talk about that on wednesday but we'll also play
this game on wednesday i want to tease it here we're gonna play one round of it i'm gonna give
you the starting five of a team and their nhl ratings oh baby and then you got to tell me what
team it is very simple oh baby this is first up left wing a 95 overall center in 87 overall
right wing in 86 overall on d 85 and 92 detroit you guys each are gonna get three guesses
I'm going to give you a hint after your first two guesses.
Submit your answer.
Steve Dangle.
Adam has already submitted Detroit.
Steve, what is your pick?
The number's screwing me up because I see 95 and I'm like, that's Burakovsky.
And no.
Oh, it can't be.
No.
Sherratt's on the top line for Detroit.
That can't be it.
Oh, that's the New York Rangers.
Adam Fox.
Artemi Panarin.
Is Panarin on the left or the right side?
Good guess.
that's the rangers steve what's your guess 87 is about right for dj z bad you know what
i think adam's right i think rangers adam wins the first round of nhl
guess the team game i like that is hey the new york ranger oh and it's trochek i wasn't even
right so right there is panarin 95 trochek 87 down the middle laugh 86 on the right wing
lingren 85 on the and fox 92 on the adam wins for submitting the answer first he is up one nothing
we have a few more to play or i think it's a total of 10 of them oh so uh the next nine we will play
on wednesday in the press conference if we have time for it and adam's up one nothing we will make
time very good all right there you go exciting i like i was gonna bring out the board so you can
write down your answer and then flip so then if we have ties we have ties but adam got his answer
first and he's up one i think my guess is lingren and lafreniere were not ranked that high last year
no no 85 and 86 yeah good for them that's awesome all right well listen we'll wrap it up we're
gonna be back on i want to say wednesday and it's sunday but you're getting this on monday
it's really messing with my brain right now anyway let's uh we'll wrap it up steve what
are you drawing oh no the word but there you go thank you steve you're welcome it says b-u-t-t
