Make sure you're keeping track of who you got You might need your phone there, Steve I'm going to write this down I've got to keep track of my lineup too so i know i got a full good team going we will not lay some ground rules here before we get some questions in the middle of this we will not care about defenseman handedness good just draft two defense we are not mike they can play on both sides this is an all-star team they can switch sides um i will however scrutinize you and nix take away your pick if you go uh left wing right

wing too far and if you try and put somebody in center when they don't regularly play center got it okay so keep your forwards the same uh right right lefty shooting defenseman who cares one minute on the clock is 60 minutes so we got about an hour uh adam wild you're up mcdavid i've already typed in the first two picks like mcdavid uh maddie's if you're watching maddie's got the uh fantasy draft uh sheet their spreadsheet there which keep a track of the pits so maddie you'll have to switch me to the middle because i'm in the second pick so at the top yeah just put me over to where steve is you can do all that i'm drafting nathan mckinnon yep there it is this is the uh annual watch maddie spell things-a-thon yes and i am quite fond of it

um it is very fun all right steve your pick um we already got to an um that's okay m-a-c-k-i-n-n-o-n mckinnon yep um uh matthews matthews wow it's are we at the point where you're surprised by matthews no i just all right well you can pick twice i i had another it's a snake draft is it not it's it is snake steve is up next at four oh interesting yeah so maddie it's snakes so you go down to steve see where's that it's four come on maddie we already got we no no no he that's right He took Matthews. You didn't have to take it out. Yeah, but the next pick is below it.

There you go. Yeah. Get a net. There you go. You got it. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. You're already oh, boy?

Because there's some very, very, very good players available. I'll go with a guy who scored six points the night before recording this, Nikita Kucherov. Oh, all right. I want Leon Dressen. I hate the enthusiasm for these picks. Or the lack thereof. I'm thrilled. What are you talking about?

You guys have made. Yeah? Because I'd like Kale Maker. You son of a gun. All right. That's okay. Hate that. You can have Kale Maker.

Let me think here. Yeah, now you got to think. I got to think. I just wanted Kale Maker. I'm Adam. I got to think. I'm going to think Pontius Holmberg next because I think it's funny. Okay.

who do i want they're both outstanding they both need a contract who will it be who will it be i'm gonna go miko rantanen really okay okay i am pleased with that i'm i'm shocked you didn't take ponta's homework oh my goodness yeah wait so next yeah uh me just throw right in there uh the guy who's being disrespected not being a top seven pick but he's eight on my list uh Kirill Kaprizov shoot he's tied with Rantanen as of this recording with for what points awesome yeah and awesome he's also beating him is Kaprizov gonna get 14 mil I don't think so awesome per 60 Kirill wins uh well I mean Rantanen is Robin to McKinnon's batman and kucherov's or not kucherov caprizov's bat or uh robin is like fucking mad zuccarello

that was horrible you're right no i'm not okay so zuccarello listen what do you expect me to be good at words i want to watch that back so i don't please make that a social media clip please no i want to delete this from my memory i want i want that to be like i want there to be the text too like so we can try to understand no no he's not he's not taking zuccaro yeah yeah all right all right uh quinn hughes okay i deviated from my plan already i was gonna screw you guys and go macar hughes uh oh i'll do q yes q hughes um uh man that made my whole life jesse and i jesse you're standing on my headphones so i unplugged um

you know what you got the next pick too i know yeah i wasn't prepared at all i can tell yeah no i don't want damn zuccarello why not why not he's the robin Does he suck? He's the green lantern to the guy. He's the guy. Do you believe it? It's crazy.

Alright, Steve. Your minute is up. You know what? Mitch Marner. There you go. There's a pick. Frig, you're hissing at. At 11, you can give me Jack Hughes. That was going to be my guy. That was going to be my guy, Jesse.

dude who got lit up by max patch ready pass wow true true um interesting i will go sydney crosby that's a reach yeah but it's sydney crosby so it's like are we talking about fantasy picks here or are we talking about you know what i mean you know you're building the best team i guess yeah yeah i feel like that's true good team is with sid on it that's that's very true um and i'm gonna go off the board a little bit here actually you know what yes for brat okay i wondered i wondered i don't think i know this one no you got it is that it yeah yeah brought summer brat yeah there you go it is actually brat um it's jesper brat oh okay jesper brat yeah a lot of from now a lot of devils fans uh yell them because i did a goal blake down of one of

his goals oh okay yes wait i'm sure wait hold on you're telling me that new jersey fans reacted irrationally that's crazy they were right you know they they're they're irrational but they are also correct in their irrationality so i'm gonna go with um i don't think i could ever leave this draft without having this man on my team william kneelander ah good pick stink i almost took him where i took mitch uh okay so this is interesting the highest scorer on the board is marty niches um highest goal scorer on the board you know what he leads the league in goals right now sam reinhardt nice good pick i know do you have two oh my god um he's bad at this i sure am um

i'm gonna go we're getting a little yeah we're now we're getting to the who what direction do you want to go territory it's fun jaykel i'm gonna go jack good pick now do you pick reinhardt as a winger or a center because nhl.com lists him as a center you bet i think he's a winger it depends on how he's gonna finesse it with how his team yeah i'm gonna figure it out okay all right now now i'm in between player because i want this guy but i think i can leave him so i guess i won't pick him and i'll just go another forward here but i could also now give it to me romaniosi shit that was my next pick jesse oh damn it all right i almost didn't pick him i was gonna go another forward but i was like i don't have a d yet

i'm not thick on d just yet we're all getting thick on d all right you're not girthy on well merry christmas there you go philip forsberg please back-to-back Preds in the top 20 yeah because they're the only two Preds worth taking did I get that one Forsberg yes Forsberg

and then hmm and then Lane Hudson no I'm kidding I wouldn't be that stupid let's go let's what was that just a subtle shot at my

friends in Montreal Connor mother effing hellebuck oh that's an early goalie pick if you're gonna win the cup if this is pissed i got crosby i got mcdavid and i got a hellebuck you're such a bum yeah we all got good players yeah but let's let's talk about whose team's the best team this team's the best it's already the best oh my god uh my turn uh give me david postrenok oh man real good player um give me a man after midnight what give me a man after midnight oh damn yeah totally uh sorry i can't do two things at once victor headman i know what year it is i don't care nice

nice it's a good pick head men or men man man and the only defenseman in the nhl with double digit goals already at the time we're recording this zach warrenski is having a stupid season how spell that uh w-e-r-e-n-s-k-i yeah he's having a great year i would have picked him he has 30 points yeah norris candidate they're saying already oh my god uh okay let me just wrap up i think i'll have him at because i've mckinnon hughes i'll play in the middle dry side i'll play on the wing pasta's right so i guess my third line center i'm gonna take braden point good pick damn that is a good pick bars bars jesse first first first first thank you first first okay i don't know bro so who do i got here that arms up mcdavid crosby that's pretty sick i could

use some defense um the only guy i've picked is kale maker and honestly that's all that really matters uh but i'm gonna take in consecutive picks josh morrissey and adam fox oh damn okay oh man i had adam fox and i just is it two r's or two s's i think it's both oh yes like that yep uh yeah or see an f-o-x i'm just remembering what he said yeah that uh that out of fox picks a good one i think i can wait on d then because he took the d that i wanted all right i'm up right took that yes okay yes let me see what i can do here maybe i'll just fill out my center man you know what yeah to win a cup you need cup experience you need somebody who's

gonna fight for you who's been there who has that winning pedigree on my third line left wing matthew kachuk fuck good pick damn good pick he should have gone higher i was gonna do kachuk barkov as my next two picks now we'll do it i'll have to do no way oh no fucking idiot uh let's do barkov bark of yes yes yes um oh i'm very cross with you shea theodore i'm mad at you made me go in a completely different direction i'm cross very cross uh oh i guess i'm back up do the funny thing what his brother what are you talking about brady kachuk oh that'd be

interesting um that'd actually be not a bad pick if i wanted to go in that direction i know but i gotta see what direction i want to go in i really need a defenseman and you guys are stealing them all i'm gonna go with dougie hamilton oh good pick good pick thank you i'm gonna go to my russian empire roots and do a double selection out of russia i'm gonna beat you up uh artemi pinard okay and alexander i'm gonna beat the shit out of you both right wingers i hate your christmas i hope santa shit in your stocking i am so upset i hope santa opened it up wide and took a ho ho ho dump you were gonna take over you bet dude he was leading the league in goals before he got hurt that's true uh dry sidle he shoots lefty

but he mainly plays on the right wing right uh yeah that's where he does all his damage when he plays winning with mcdavid's on the right i just gotta make sure i had that i know i gotta i gotta start assembling my team here yeah that's it's very helpful when you're doing it on the grid like that because it gives you an idea of what you got so what i need what i want most is a left winger because i i moved dry side all there and i got dry side on the lander pasta on the right side caprizov kachuk and this gentleman as my third line left winger kyle connor that's a good pick that's a good pick is there more than one connor uh there's actually 40 000 yeah we built the whole team around connor's um i think this is very funny so i'm doing it uh brady kachuk

i want brady kachuk i probably could have waited i don't want to um who has been extremely good oh i know i'm taking that no no you don't macklin celebrating no you don't he's actually bad he's bad at joseph wall also bad you should stop joey ducourt so good at hockey actually um how much time do i got you're running out of time no i got a lot um what do you you know what he's got 43 points in 28 games one of us is gonna have to do it so it might as well be me marty niches good that's good he's fifth in nhl scoring and i got him 30 i don't know why we all had to have a lobotomy n-e-a-s n-e-c-a-s but i love i would never have guessed that no i

know it's it's not stupid well it's not anglais all right i don't know why we all had to have the lobotomy to get that done i don't think that's how i'll use lobotomy okay uh give me rasmus dolly you're garbage uh i will take every time you pick somebody i would say something negative on zakopitar stupid that's a dumb pick and brandon hagel bad players i'm gonna spell this like no uh oh no no a like bagel with a g e l yeah there you go bagel with an h there you go with a h sometimes life throws your curveballs and you don't have time to get to them and that's where

task rabbit comes in and i think you should check this out because here's the deal one of the things One of the weird quirks about my condo building is that they use my floor to rappel down and clean all the windows, but they never clean my windows.

Evan Bouchard he's sick dude he's sick you must not want a lot of defense no that's why I got I got Hughes, I got Theodore I got friggin

Hedman you're just looking pop up in the rush there Evan I mean you keep saying don't worry about sides how about I worry about what I want to and i need to fill up on the right now how about i worry at my leisure um i got my next pick good for you whenever you're ready to pass the baton i'm not um he's so slow it's unreal i'm sorry i

can't imagine it's it's a tricky position being in the turn like i have the easiest spot where i get to pick one and then wait for you guys to make two and i get to like think and look you know but steve's in the turn and he's uh struggling with the double picks you know what i my team needs to draw some penalties give me timmy stutzler oh yeah that's interesting i'm going with a lot of uh center wing versatility here you're a lot of senators am i yeah you got you got stutzler and kachuk a two yeah um give me from nova scotia brad marshand yeah the other problem with being on the turn is any player you're like i can wait no you can't that's already two or no three that i've been like i can wait and like they're gone the next pick

i believe adam wilde is up next uh alex petrangelo oh boy good one oh yeah that's gonna be p-i-e-t-r-a-n-g-e-l-o petrangelo petrangelo oh and you know what brock faber you son of a gun this one like a favor faber f-a-b

f-a-b-o b as in boy b as in what boy this must be so interesting for the audio listeners i don't think it is i have my pick I don't think Steve is ready

It's okay Make your pick as quickly as possible I've been going very quickly It's been screwing Steve Jesse go Give your pick I'm picking John Carlson Pick faster

I'm picking Travis Konechny Carlson is spelled with a C Just so we don't confuse him with Eric Konechny is K-O-N-E-C-N-Y and now i have another one i'm gonna go this one's even harder maddie mark shifley uh i think i got this oh let's see did you do it no uh s-c-h-e-i-f-e-l-e i was close yeah you were you were you were close flip a couple letters you know who hasn't been good this year um

fucking uh rupe hints no he really hasn't no like no he hasn't been like he's been decent but he hasn't been like what you'd expect out of hints uh so far this season who knows if he turns around second half but i've been a little uh disappointed with rupe hints uh with that being said i want to take his teammate rupe hints no sorry oh that being said rupe hints uh put him in my lineup I want Meir Heiskanen. Oh, shit. Yeah, he's available. Oh, damn.

I was going to pick him next, too. I did not realize that. And that's why he's still there. Please spell it. H-E-I-S-K-E-N. No. It's hard to do out loud. H-E-I-S-K-A-N-E-N.

oh is it 8-7-E there you go Kyle Connor Mikhail Sergachev Kyle Connor is already up okay Sergachev for sure Jesse picked him 32nd this is pick 48

fine Tim Stutzel I already picked him I'll just keep naming names Sebastian Ajo oh that's a good pick the good one not the defenseman damn there's two there are two and they play for different teams not that the other one's bad but you know what i'm talking about this this guy this guy right here this guy gets it

oh it's gonna be just oh here comes trouble uh this one's because he's struggled so much lately um i don't want to do it but i kind of need to do it because they need i need a right winger to finish off my forward group we've also been speeding through this yes yeah i'm not gonna lie i have no idea who's playing where not the style with your team yeah yeah i i have organized yeah me too cool you guys have computers in front of you maddie bring up show my show my team your team yeah yeah go to my computer uh oh you suck what are you talking it's it's camera yeah there no camera um oh i see so are you gonna build my team for me after on the main camp just on the main cam go to camera five there

yeah oh sorry i'm like working with a whole other camera here like i got i got it's a good little team caprizoff mckinnon dry sidle kachuk hughes kneelander connor point pasta marshan petterson blank and then on d yosi hamilton dalene carlson high skin in blank so i know goalies no goalies yet not needed i think we're gonna go goalie because the guy i want to select that right wing is probably going to be available uh a little later because i don't think you guys necessarily need a right winger so i'm gonna take igor shusterkin oh damn good pick okay okay yeah just type Igor

or Shesh what is it Steve? what are you homing? okay, Montour M-O-N tour, the word tour and then I need a partner for them

this guy is on Team Canada this guy has been having a really good season no i'm not going with him what he's been so damn good uh jacob trick uh chikrin uh ch y i'm going with the all hard to spell team ch y ch r un all right i'm very happy you selected montor and not my guy that i wanted I thought about this guy I'm pretty sure Noah Dobson yep that was the guy

he was absolutely unbelievable last year this year not as much but he's still got the talent his team is ass poor moi Adam Wild I'd like to have two goalies by the way or one two oh well

guess I know what my next two picks are I'll be picking a goalie as well so I would like to say that I think that this player will surprise some people, but if you've been watching Ottawa Senators hockey, then you know that Drake Batherson is having a really good year. Extremely good. Great fantasy

pickup. And I will take Anthony Stallers. You son of a ass. As my second goalie. So I have the two top goaltenders I think in the league this year so far.

I'm feeling pretty good. You think or you know? well philip got shut up you would argue shut up you're so bad you think or you know um steve has to take two goalies so i'm gonna try and fuck him here so because i can sit on the last forward i need because i know that you can't take him wait do you have a goalie i need one goalie and one forward oh no yeah so i just need to take one and philip gustafson has been the best goalie in the league this season but i could also go andre vasilevsky who's incredible so i'm split between those two i'd go gustafson i would i would too just because it looks better on paper when you have the best goalie in the league yeah

season um i could also go jake ottinger who i'm a big fan of but i'm i'm debating between those three i think i'll just also show it up here friggin side with the best goalie in ottinger's been so good too but 922 you can't be that gustafson give me gustafson steve you can have the rest uh you can have the remains um uh in that case i'm gonna go with the other leafs goalie joseph wool is it two f's or two s's uh gustafson is a v as a v g u s t a v s s o n okay okay i'm gonna go wool w-o-l-l and off the board if you don't understand this pick you haven't been paying attention lucas dostal d-o-s-t-a-l who is that i don't he was the he's the duck scully and he's unreal good pick and his ass oh yeah the frigging smirking at jesse put those

teeth away with the frigging i can't believe you didn't pick dostal before wall actually it doesn't it doesn't matter no henrik henrik and daniel you know it doesn't matter who goes second and third right it's fair it's fair yeah uh dostol's got a 920 on the year yeah no he's absurd uh not as good as philip gustafson though who's got a 922 who i wanted and you're a piece of shit yeah so take that one um so i'm kind of oh hurry up fuck i finally get to do this hurry your ass up because you don't have to look at your next no next picks here adam what do you need i don't need anything yeah you do we all have to have 12 forward six defensemen two goalies well so you do need weird because i thought i did have one defenseman three oh i need a backup

goalie oh perfect no i got stolars six okay yeah what are you talking about oh okay yeah yeah so not perfect you have stolars hellebuck i'm done really tall one yeah what do you so what do you Because I have Sergeyev, Faber, Petro, Fox, Morrissey, and Makar. Oh, so you're good. Did one of you take Kyle Conner before I did? I need a left winger. Stop trying to take Kyle Conner. I just like him.

So you need a left winger. Am I not allowed to take Dylan Larkin and play him at right wing? Correct? I believe. Okay, what are we going by? NHL.com literally cannot be trusted. well are we going by yahoo fantasy or like what are we going by no dylan dylan larkin's the center like we all he is the center and the guy that you had up can play both wings lucas raymond you're

saying both wings yeah i thought about picking them okay if we're if we're saying raymond can play both wings so what i have right now is lucas raymond or zach hyman zach hyman i feel like fits better on my team it's a good roll good roll he 54 goals last year but only seven this year so far yeah but you're the only guy who've traded john devars for lucas raymond right like you got to take that into consideration he is jesse blake loves his guys loves his guy raymond is definitely more your brand it is but i feel like zach hyman okay well then surprise the better surprise yeah right yeah well this year though this year how much longer this year no lucas raymond also had 31 goals last season dude he's been unreal i'll bit of a tough start but he's been hot i will give

the love to red wings fans yep i already have dry sidle why not share the love with the rest of the nhl and bring lucas raymond to my team right he will be my fourth line right winger adam there's only one right move to do well I'm I'm gonna do what I think is the right move you got to be nice to Penguins fans and pick Malkin oh no he's a center I'm not picking Malkin I'm picking Matt Boldy I think he was already picked no he wasn't oh no no no um I'm thinking of uh yeah Faber my bad and I picked him too I'm a big fan of the Minnesota Wilds yeah Matt Boldy rules and uh yeah okay that's the final pick in the draft okay now maddie i'm just delete i copied and pasted my chart but i'm just deleting everything here maddie you can bring up my screen here

so camera five there you go so let's fill in your actual roster i got mine all set there adam give me your roster so at top line center we've got connor you got to talk into them all my pick connor mcdavid they'll be on maddie's okay uh miko ranting in at right wing yes oh do you want to go right wing all the way down sure whatever you

want right wing all the way down we'll go Rantanen Ovi oh okay Panarin Redman

Ovi and Bathurston underneath McDavid at center Crosby Kopitar sebastian ajo

um left wing jesper bratt uh philip forsberg brandon hagel and then you got brock faber d d is kale maker uh josh morrissey uh adam fox petrangelo brock faber nope oh not brock faber why did i have favor no i put i meant matt not favor there you went to put boldy there uh boldy is the winger favor that's right and then i don't know why i didn't pick that either and sergachev and the two goalies are that fraud hellabuck to quote jesse and anthony reach for the stallers okay so that's adam steve and then steve let's fill yours in uh just put best so um maddie because steve doesn't remember his if you want to read down i remember some of them his his draft picks and then you tell me where

you want to place them okay one second uh jesse i can tell you on d on the left side i have headman Headman, Theodore Wierenski Oh you just want left Well I mean I guess Headman, Theodore Wierenski And on the right side

I have Bouchard Montour I don't remember the last one Okay Matty do you want to read it down? Yeah do you want me to just read down the list? Okay Matthews hold on let me move this up there we go

Matthews Kucherov on the right wing Quinn Hughes oh jeez how did I forget Quinn Hughes so good Marner right wing

Reinhardt let's go right wing for now Eichel center Hadbin yeah Orenski, you got there. Barkov?

Center. The, Theodore. Oh, Theodore's there. We got Theodore. Kachuk, Brady Kachuk. He's usually a right wing, but let's go left. Can we, is that legal? Yeah.

Does he play the left? Has he played the left this season? Let's see. I don't know. Yeah. I think that might be a stretch. Interesting. but brady kachuk is listed on elite prospects.com as a left wing hey perfect uh put put b kachuk

why because you also have a kachuk i don't think people will be confused uh niches how do you say his name yeah yeah yeah so he's listed as a center right wing so let's put him on right for now okay um got evan bouchard stutzla center uh i think also left wing just read them down eddie cock oh connect me yeah uh shifley i think he's a right winger whatever all right connect connect shife who else what's the last one uh The Chikrin Wool Dostal. Oh, Chikrin. Oh, shit.

Did I pick the wrong amount of forwards in the fight? No, Steve has to run 11-7. He's got to run 11-7. He's got to run 11-7, Jesse. Dude, I didn't have a computer. You've got to make him. This is bullshit. You've got to make him.

And what are your goalies? Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Bouchard is up front. Bouchard's a forward. He's a forward anyway. I don't care what the Oilers list him as. Fuck. and who are your goalies uh wall and no stall yeah

all right i think we did well and then you have shifley montour up there as well we got we got them yeah that's it then all right running 11-7 oh yeah you think we did well fuck you now the question mess the question is a disaster who will get voted as the best one so let's read it out okay steve dangle's team brady kachuk matthews kucherov great line wow connect me eichel marner wow hateful shifley barkov reinhardt good evan bouchard timmy stutzla marty niches okay the fourth line is rough but i think that's a pretty good line there's no defense on that fourth line zero on d there's literally a defender yeah sorry headman chikrin

shea theodore brandon montour zach warrensky quinn hughes that's just really damn good in goal joseph wool lucas dostal hell yeah adam wilde's team which is a competent team shit next jesper brat brat jesper brat connor mcdavid miko rantanen forsberg crosby panarin hegel kopitar ovi hegel should also be bread man that's true that's true that's true boldy aho batherson that's such a basic milquetoast fourth line you suck okay hagel and kopitar together and i would have probably put batherson with them and ovi with aho if i was gonna if i was gonna actually line them up properly just because there you go um uh i feel like aho and ovi together would be insane um but hagel kopitar and batherson

what an ugly shitty line to play against like mean that sucks that's a fun line your bottom six shops at eddie bauer yeah all right jess read out my defense jesse macar morrissey fox petro faber sergachev sure a lot of norris trophies on that that's a really good decor and cups yeah and a vesna winner plus a future vesna winner hellebuck installers that's his goaltending i'm not impressed you didn't draft the right amount of guys somebody did this one year where they did like a bunch of sims with our actual picks on nhl and they did a tournament and i would love to know who would win yeah yeah i do remember that that was awesome that was all right my team it is uh caprizoff mckinnon dry sidle all right it's over like

it's very literally over matthew could that's the best line in the world matthew kachuk jack hughes william neilander that's insane kyle connor braden point uh mr david posher knock brad marshand elias petterson lucas raymond that's easily the best group of forwards easily yosi hamilton doleen carlson heiskanen dobson it's all puck moving defensemen all of them i think they're all power play quarterbacks i think all of them and then in goal i got igor and philip gustafson that's a sick goaltending duo that's crazy i like if you sim this and jesse loses you should burn your concept like oh yeah yeah maddie bring up the the draft so you look at it and you say like you know what a lot of the guys i picked you could have easily

had though could have had him um you had the turn steve no i'll tell i'll tell you which i i abandoned my plan and i shouldn't have what was your plan so you screwed me up uh with kucherov or not kucherov kaprizov that screwed my plan right there and you went d yeah you took yeah and i went d so there's a theme here you went matthew kachuk and you screwed me up so i went barkov and then i went d with theodore right um and then there was another pick that screwed me up too the caprizov one you're talking about and then you went caprizov no no no there was a third one oh okay uh i think marshan oh and uh haiskanen was just that's just a stupid i forgot he existed yeah we left haiskanen a little too far and then uh the fourth thing that screwed me up is i picked

the wrong amount of defensemen so if you could read if you could pick a forward here to replace one of your defensemen do you have any idea who would you do you kind of need a left winger so you need some sort of winger to replace one of your defensemen who you swap it in who you're taking out like either brandon hagel or jake genzel let's go oh no i have hagel get genzel yeah oh yeah genzel then that's a great pick genzel's good yeah some of the players who did not get drafted nico he sure oh shit

nico he sure i'm just looking at a list of like top 200 nhl fantasy they had a fantasy hockey top 200 player rankings going down the list here i see nico he sure is not there that's the biggest pastor

knocks not there no one took vessel i took i did take pastor oh you took that very not true um vast left ski ottinger those are the goaltenders there's only six six goaltenders

so that's okay you know Tage Thompson's not selected Mark Stone's not selected Adrian Kempe JT Miller

I think maybe if he was healthy he probably would have been selected I didn't take Mark Stone because Mark Stone always misses 20 games

Cole Caulfield not the playoffs who is can't stop scoring goals dude no one is interested in picking him

it's so weird yeah Seth Jarvis oh nick suzuki john tavarez mitch koff celebrini dushane trochek i thought about mitch koff trochek didn't make it right no he's just always underrated yeah i love him he's also having a bad year yeah um bedard de brusque i don't think it would have made it in the bad years yeah yeah another bad year jason robertson celebrini's not we didn't take celebrini we didn't take i mentioned that i mentioned sorry mitch kauf though like far as rookie points is good but like

he's not like blowing the doors off like he's at 27 points which is great for a rookie but you know you got guys in the 40s now right was a saber taken dalin dalin was taken the tage thing's interesting i think tage could have easily made this list yep you know one of these lineups i didn't think about for long but i did think about oh mcavoy shit um dude lankanen's been so crazy this year kevin lankanen yeah i mean he's probably not even the best goalie on the canucks but like yeah how are you gonna take a guy who's not even gonna start i know but he's got like freaking 15 wins or something stupid yeah or that marcia so on stamkos too malkin malkin malkin we didn't take right no we did not cried that's two years in a row we didn't take malkin uh chris crider some

of the names okay i'm okay with that i'm okay with how that works you know and adam said specifically before the show if anybody anybody at all on this panel takes your ice lefkovsky i'm walking off i did not say i am walking off the set no i didn't say that i did definitely did not say that bust whoa i didn't say it mary i didn't say he was a bust mary chris bust yeah man it's so crazy that he's not a bust you know what's gonna be great is when he scores seven goals between the recording of the show and chris that's why i'm saying i i have never ever said he's a bust ever dude you guys think i'm kidding he signed that contract extension and it was like a day of mourning in the studio we're like oh my god that contract's so good

oh my god well one day it will be one day it will be we have we have like 10 minutes here to kill we gotta do some rankings some rankings yeah favorite christmas movie oh and then worst christmas movie okay all right favorite christmas movie uh favorite my favorite christmas special and this is weird and i don't know why but it's the peanuts one oh i love the peanuts okay good because everybody makes fun of me for that and i realize it's unique but i everyone makes fun of me too uh you know i love that one i love that one uh jesse favorite favorite my number one nothing's ever gonna kick it off the top is elf i think it's the best christmas movie ever it's a good it's it's funny it's heartwarming it has everything you want out of a christmas movie

and just a good comedy yep uh elf has got to be my number one i like that steve i really i think that's the top two and they're completely different so movie movie wise because that because the the simpsons one is not a movie it's a it's a half hour tv special i will like i consider charlie brown to to not be a movie it's not a movie either so that's why i'm not picking it but uh i'm just saying as a special that's my favorite thing to watch uh muppet christmas carol is my favorite christmas so yeah a charlie brown christmas doesn't count right this is half an hour so yeah so is grinch like yeah we're marley and marley yeah that scene used to scare oh i hated it i hated it a lot i love that movie um my number two is uh the jim carrey grinch

oh that's good that's so my number one would be elf two is how the grinch stole christmas that movie's so good christmas come on steve you can't do this like the draft you got to pick a Pick one faster than that. Don't rush him. We have 10 minutes left. Just 10 minutes of silence while Steve tries to figure out what... 10 minutes of Steve thinking.

Santa Claus is good. It's so good. It's good. Shoot. I mean, can I pick the Grinch also? Yeah, yeah. Okay, then I pick the Grinch also. Yeah, of course you can.

I like it. There's so many more. Okay, so we've got our top twos. Now we go top... Number three. So, Adam, what was your first two? you said peanuts and uh so peanuts muppet christmas carol you gotta talk to the mic peanuts muppet christmas carol home alone too that's your third lost in new york it's better

than oh don't talk to me home alone too that's good because the scene where they're when he did like when he's in his uncle's rich ass house in new york which no one talks about uh and they're getting the renovations he punks the uh sticky bandits like that that is a violent scene guy gets electrocuted so much you get to see his skull like come on can i say i'm just looking at a list of christmas movies steve does probably help jog your memory thank you you know what's really good the frosty the snowman it's pretty good the frosty the snowman's very good the the reindeer one is very good the claymation reindeer one um that's a good one there's a harold and kumar christmas yeah i don't

know why that's one of the best christmas movies um a nightmare before christmas does that count as christmas movie or halloween movie oh it's both really i think it's more a christmas movie though i think so too i'll go with a nightmare before christmas for number three it's a good one so i got elf you're really getting my space here i'll go with elf this is halloween this is the grinch jim carrey's and then a nightmare before christmas those are my top three christmas movies of all time steve what are yours um you know what's this christmas we gotta be together You know what's a stupid friggin Christmas movie but for some reason gets better

with every watch is Christmas with the Cranks It's so stupid and so hokey and so dumb and it's a bunch of big actors doing acting that is so beneath them and I really like it

And nobody's taking National Lampoons Christmas Vacation I don't think I've ever seen it It's good It's hokey now all right uh because it's from like 1991 but there are some really funny scenes and you know the the highlight of the movie is julia louis-dreyfus from uh seinfeld she's amazing in it uh like her her and her husband in the scene are just um well you can they're the characters that

are most relatable to today i never grew up watching those kinds of movies oh never a part of my I guess teenage years it would have been okay you know so yeah watching it now would it make sense well right you took an edible and watch it now you'd have a blast well so I haven't seen Fred Claus I have not

Vince Vaughn hilarious Steve you got to pick a number three I think you looked at all the lists and then you moved away and I don't think you picked one I'm not doing well today that's okay Charlie Brown

I think it counts fuck it alright fuck it count it we'll do one on this list what's the worst Christmas movie of all time okay so when you're a kid and you have

interests you gravitate towards those interests yes sure as a huge wrestling fan I saw a movie that I never heard anyone talk about but I saw the cover of it in the vhs video rental store um and i was like mom dad i want that that movie looks good and that movie sucked hot ass and it was a movie with hulk hogan called santa with muscles

incredible i want to know i want to watch that that's awesome and it sucked brother could we i wish we could like do a live stream of that or something where everybody lines up santa with have you guys seen the vince mcmahon documentary on netflix yes yeah do you remember that part in the doc where they go over hulk hogan's in between wrestling career where he tries to be an actor and it fails miserably yes that was probably in like that era yes you know i wasn't familiar with that so i like learned a lot in that doc about hulk hogan's career and everything like how big he was and when he tried that like beach sitcom you know those yes kind of like all that which is like in retrospect disaster that's the thing like the rock had the ability to be able to move beyond

the character yes and still carry some of the character with it whereas hulk was so cartoony that you're always going to be the hulk you can't be anything else you nailed it he was just the shirt ripping action figure and i loved him he couldn't become an actor unless he completely detached himself from that character which he never did so yes he was in thunder in paradise Thunder in Paradise and Thunder in Paradise 2 what else was he Thunder in Paradise 3

Thunder in Paradise Interactive I guess this is a video game all of those could have been porns Baywatch, Spy Hard man he was in some shitty shitty movies and then here it is I finally found it Jesse I'm going to send it to you

what is it called? Google Santa with muscles because it's literally Santa with muscles on IMDB it is ranked 2.6 out of 10

there you go I don't think I've ever seen a rating that low hold on the trailer is playing automatically pause pause okay there we go bring it up Santa with muscles and I was like that's Hulk Hogan

and there's kids on the cover and I'm a kid and i also love hulk hogan so i want this movie and it sucked but um adam do you want to go last uh yeah because i'm trying to look up a movie specifically okay my answer is pretty easy for worst christmas movie of all time and it's a movie i've never seen it's just the conversation around this movie has just been in my life since i i can remember and i don't understand why and i don't understand if the movie is good to warn all of this noise around it all right die hard die hard die hard for some reason in the pop culture lexicon gets this really weird argument

that i don't know who has in real life about is it a christmas movie or not and i've heard this oh is it die hard a christmas movie it takes place at christmas but it's like a summer blockbuster right is it a christmas movie i've never seen die hard i've just heard about die hard and the arguments about christmas so i'm gonna say it's the worst thing worst christmas movie of all time because i don't understand why people are so passionate about is it a christmas movie or not yeah that's my i oh i was always super bored by that to be i just i don't care yeah i don't care either i don't care either steve what are you doing uh i'm looking at i just typed in bad christmas movies and one came up that's just called fat man oh because it's about santa have

you seen die hard steve believe it or not no uh do you think it's a christmas movie uh probably not okay on account of there's like a burning building and a guy falling off it adam do you think die hard's a christmas movie uh yeah sure it's a christmas movie yeah but like that's as much as you're gonna emotionally move me on that subject yeah it's christmas die hard is it's about a christmas party so yeah why not has become the pineapple on pizza debate or it's like you know what come up with something where you come up with do you talk about it if you're boring um can i can i say the polar express because i expected more from it whoa it's good man what are you talking about i expected more from it and i'll give you another

one i'll give you another one steve's face into a polar express thing or steve's quote on a polar express it's like i expect it's like tom hanks i expected more steve dangle I haven't seen this movie and I'm not sure I know anyone who's seen this movie which is ridiculous because it's a

Ryan Reynolds Will Ferrell movie Spirited Spirited Yeah Have you watched it Maddie? Yeah Oh Maddie's watched it

Is it good? I love Christmas movies I've seen so many of them Yeah but do you love this Christmas movie? I do love it It's actually good Did you see Red One

with The Rock? For a newer Christmas movie it's actually good What? Did you see the Red One movie that came out this year with The Rock and I think Chris Pine

Chris Pine Chris One of the other Chris's Captain America Captain America and it bombed and everybody stopped talking about it?

Well. Yeah, it came out in November and died. I don't even think it's still in theaters. Well, anything worth The Rock now these days. Yeah, it's pretty bad.

It's a guaranteed bad movie. Who's the dude from Whiplash? He was the dad from Juno. Oh, Jay. Well, he played Jay Joman in Jameson. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Send me pictures of Spider-Man.

Isn't he Santa? In it? Yeah, yeah. It's a good cast in a shitty movie. If you see... If Kevin Hart or The Rock are in it,

it's bad now. That's what it is. Like, you know, you're like oh man that should have been straight to netflix like that should have been oh no so you're telling me what are you talking about the 2025s a jumanji christmas is not gonna do very well if jack black's in it i'm willing the holiday the holiday is number one for me oh the holiday actually great christmas yeah yeah love actually very sweet yeah except for that fucking asshole that cheats on his wife or gets that that yeah that's kind of messed up that is it makes me sad

that they never resolved that story do they break up do they not break up yeah like you know what i'm not over what steve expecting polar express to be shawshank i expected more like like i thought i thought it was gonna be as good as shawshank you know like it's not i wouldn't give this an oscar i'm disappointed in polar express senta traveled through 500 yards of that filthy we're gonna take you know the cinematography and polar express was really lacking really my god like i was it's not kubrick like what the fuck you know guys i went in expecting the godfather and all i got was this stupid train i got a fucking christmas movie they put way too much emphasis on the train what would you ask of me on this the day of christmas you know i watched pulp fiction next

and it was just so much better yeah it was tarantino really cooked on that one and polar express oh okay so there's a movie with dennis what's his name he's a comedian who the menace no dennis leary and he is a he's a dad that dies everything in the 80s and 90s had to somebody had to die for the stakes to matter and you like this one i think it's called jack frost and he is a dad that works too hard but then he dies but then he somehow comes back as the snowman in the yard and his kid's a hockey player and my parents michael keaton yeah oh it's michael keaton okay well anyway my parents i think i've seen this my parents thought i would like it because um there's a hot there's hockey in it whatever but like i was a really sensitive boy and i was in like his dad

dies man like and i was like at that after that i was like blubbering fool and you can't i can't come back for that so every i watched that movie one time and that was it i'm like i have no interest in seeing this i think that used to run on ytv didn't it they ran that shit on white i'm pretty sure i've seen it and the only way i would have seen is if it ran on ytv oh my god i don't know where ytv phil is this christmas but i hope he's having a merry one hey we saw him last year we did yeah we did and it was a highlight of my life it was a good time yeah and i didn't meet him because you never meet your heroes uh one of the reviews for jack frost on google right i think it was written by adam wilde but it says lily gin here uh i just rediscovered this movie and wanted

to watch it with my kids my six-year-old daughter ran out screaming when the snowman came and my eight-year-old son threw up i wish this movie was bit everywhere no child has to ever go through watching it i'm still trying to currently calm them down do not watch and instead of trying to calm them down you're writing a google review people found this helpful are you trying to calm them down in the middle of writing this now obviously that's made up but that's fucking hilarious man that's so my eight-year-old son oh but it is like in a spooky movie where the snowman's fucking yeah he talking to you dude it's crazy it's crazy i don't know if anybody's ever heard of this is totally a not christmas

movie but have you guys ever heard of the movie fluke no it's about a dog that gets adopted by an elderly homeless woman who dies and then after she dies he meets a street dog and they become buddies and then you get a flashback of how the street dog became a street dog because his owner died in a car accident and then fluke gets abducted by a guy uh who is wants to use him for makeup experiment it's experiments and stuff like that and basically that's not even a third of the way through the movie the movie is just so i remember my parents rented it from video 99 across the street and 15 minutes in i'm like in just i'm a mess like i'm snotty tears and i because i love dogs nothing and i'm like am i my dad's mom looked at and they're like what fucking movie

is this like this is insane yeah and i remember i never saw the end i don't know how it ends for fluke because it was so bad but there was something about the 90s it was like oh no we must show the children death maddie pull up the poster for jack frost and how terrifying is tell me that this is supposed to be a spooky snowman like he's fucking terrified it is technically a ghost there is a a snowman movie where the snowman is a killer by the way and like there's like a horror movie from the 90s where he like comes like there's a a scene where somebody's like taking a shower or taking a bath and the snowman appears in the shower and like stabs them it's insane it's the most insane thing i've ever seen again a movie somebody put on in high school creepy yeah and this guy looks

exactly like that snowman christmas carols but like creepified yeah so yeah no jack frost no thanks that guy that guy would haunt your dreams okay we're done here all right did we kill 10 minutes oh but that was the best part all right great i'm glad i hope i stuck around for that hey merry christmas everybody call this episode um uh fucking like to represent my picks let us know um we're gonna post a graphic on our instagram and twitter and on the youtube social feed that we have there.
