Starting point is 00:00:00 today's show is brought to you by manscaped yeah manscaped.com slash dangle to receive 20 off your next purchase for what steve for what shaving your let's get into the show this is steve dangle podcast powered by sports interaction canada's sports book man is that not the most leafy start to a season you've ever seen in your life it's about right though team that they should absolutely destroy they lose three two team that they might struggle against because they're a much better team probably a playoff team even though they're missing a couple key players, do pretty well.
Starting point is 00:00:49 You think the Caps are a better team? Better than Montreal. Oh. Oh. Okay. I was about to say. Better than the Leafs? No.
Starting point is 00:00:56 You phrased it funny. Okay. Woo. Woo. Let's start in Montreal. Let's start Montreal where the Leafs have bad D, good forwards, and an okay goalie. Are you going to delay the start by like 30 minutes
Starting point is 00:01:08 so that we'll actually start our conversation like 20 minutes into when we were supposed to start? Listen. i don't want to say that the haves have lost their touch with their opening game ceremonies oh wait yes they do montreal opening game ceremonies are no longer great make montreal opening ceremonies great again it was one bad it was no longer what it was it was a snore it was a snore except for the carrie price moment and all they had to do was just bring out carrie price wave to the crowd okay here's the torch let's go that's the thing
Starting point is 00:01:39 they didn't have to i think that all could have been rectified by not bringing all the scratches out individually um one it took entirely too wrong uh too long two the scratches were not into it at all um no they weren't it was why would they be they're not they're not selling the sizzle there at all it was exclusively for carrie price that moment but like poor jonathan drew in yeah that's humiliating and he's the first guy out too he was well he was one of them i don't know and he was scratched that day hours before game time they say oh healthy scratch jonathan drew in and then you bring him out on the ice he's supposed to be happy about this that's not a good moment and like i like i saw you know people were criticizing the habs and dumping on them for it
Starting point is 00:02:28 and they're talking about the prestige of the organization and the origins of the torch and i understand all that but that particular moment was it's pure humiliation um so i i didn't i didn't like that at all i don't see like what's wrong with having the players come on the ice with a carpet and just going down the line one by one why do they all got to walk out like the most bored wwe superstars of all time like with the hockey players guys the charisma is lacking in hockey land anyway. And that's why it's super weird that
Starting point is 00:03:07 you would bring out the scratches because they'd be the most upset of the people who have no charisma. Yeah, the people who run this thing and planned it should know that. As a Twitter moment, Carey Price's moment was fantastic. As a broadcasting moment, it was awful. Yeah. They spent
Starting point is 00:03:23 like 10 minutes on the scratches. Come on. The game started, it was supposed to be a 7pm puck drop. The game dropped the puck at 7 24 well 707 seven oh yeah that's seven minutes awesome so why if you're gonna do all this say you want to go through with you bring out the healthy scratches and you didn't smack down friday night you know you want to bring them out like that why not start that ceremony at 6 45 for the in arena people if that's the moment you want for all of them to yes yes i agree and then
Starting point is 00:03:54 leave it off the broadcast and then we all get our game at 7 10 or something i disagree because you have to get the cary price moment on tv leave it for the last part yeah for when the broadcast joins i don't disagree with that if you want that there then show it on the broadcast when you join that's seven what's this thing where all the games are now going to end at 10 30 like what the hell was last night too i know producer drew is is he's gonna protest yeah for sure it was a 7 30 start so then we and then we had the leafs have their pre-game thing so then we get the set of the 10 30 and yeah and listen i understand you got it you got to announce the coach staff you got to announce all the play the players who are dressed but that's where you do it that's where you leave
Starting point is 00:04:37 it and then can i throw it out there i don't know that you do right i don't know that you do i think everybody deserves their moment in the sun oh yeah everyone loves it and leafs assistant coach manny melhotra just stares daggers down the camera like cj was joking on the chris johnson show that they were gonna announce julian and say oh and we have our reporters that have left for calgary julian mcgusty you didn't need to announce the guy who sells popcorn in 104 there's listen great moments carrie price for montreal i thought rodion amirov last night was a wonderful touch but yeah man entirely too long entirely yeah and and i i get that there's the torch thing but it is a bit cheesy and it it just it fell flat fell super flat and i know if you were there
Starting point is 00:05:25 it was probably emotional because you're riding high off the price stuff but you have to admit the rest of it wasn't great i don't mind the torch everything else took too long okay i shouldn't be bored yeah i don't think any habs fans were bored yeah the least one i was still bored the least one was boring it was it always is though it always is but what what happens if they bring out the arkells i hadn't thought about that the arkells what if they're not available and they gotta bring out the truth oh yeah i listen like i don't know well it's funny i feel like the leafs are too far in the other direction oh yeah here's john tavaris yeah they do they are a little mechanical about it like at least the habs are trying yes the leafs are like here's a flashlight
Starting point is 00:06:10 uh here's that guy here's that guy here's that guy here's the starting lineup play the fucking game it's very toronto it's it it sums up the toronto culture versus the montreal culture because montreal culture you're montreal they always kind of say like montreal is like the swashbuckling fun sibling swash and swashbuckling they're pirates are and then but but then uh Toronto's like the accountant, you know? It's like, please, let's... He does the finances for the pirate ship. That's right, yes.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Pays for some of the pirate ship, honestly. A doubloon counter. That's right. It was like John Tavares directed that opening ceremony. You know, he sat there in the PR room and was like, guys, we... And John Tavares' lunch, kale. I'm still waiting for that damn Sportsnet video to come out.
Starting point is 00:06:56 There's something... I'm going to tease this. There's something in John Tavares' house that i'm fairly certain he's the only person on earth who has i bet he grows kale i bet he grows kale you're on the right track because i see it on the kardashians because now i watch the kardashians he grows kale in a fridge they have a fridge just for their vegetables where they grow them you're even closer than you were before wow so he might not be the only person who has it no maybe it's not a fridge i don't know if you grow vegetables in a fridge don't have this
Starting point is 00:07:24 okay they don't have this really i don't think so they they might i don't think when does it come out this video i don't know i gotta talk to someone i'm dying for you all to know all right because it's the john tavaris deus um the game itself uh montreal yeah some of the some of the highlights and lowlights obviously uh it is dennis maligan season uh get on board no no no steve you invented something new oh oh yeah the malgan beehive I literally just saw people talking about it on twitter like so it's like beyonce but no no it's it's like you're rihanna with the daniel navy and dennis malgan is beyonce with the with the beehive malg hive like no it's i just saw people basically people who like dennis malgan
Starting point is 00:08:17 are embracing the fact that they're insufferable nerds and so am i i'm embracing the fact that i'm an insufferable nerd and he's scored in his first game and that's hilarious and it means he's going to work the entire season with john tavaris and william nylander we're going to ignore the fact that jimmy vc also scored in his first game on that line we're just going to ignore it it didn't happen proof that it works what i'm referencing is in your lfr to uh stamp the point down you rode leo's little b toy yeah for the dennis malgan beehive and that will be the last time because like it wasn't great no he's a child and that's what the toy is built for and i'm a grown man and we'll break it i think that you need to do it he did it you know what i think
Starting point is 00:09:01 you need to commit to doing it again i get what every time he scores yeah no because what if he's great this that's the mistake i made with clark macarthur because they signed him for nothing and i'm like okay i'm gonna pull out the sword that my dad made when he was bored at work long story every time clark mcarthur scores and then he scored in like his first four games and i was just now i'm like committed to doing this bit and i think you have a line steve yeah the sword say it peasant yeah and he scored like 20 goals yeah he was great that was yeah him coolman and grabovsky yeah the best second line in hockey when the leaves didn't have a very good first there it is it was awkward watching you on the little b thing because at some point you
Starting point is 00:09:46 couldn't even see the b that's why i had to hoist it up yeah it just looked like it just looks like you were grinding the carpet getting down yeah and maybe i was you know you need it was a good moment for game one thank you for getting the b thing i'm sorry but you have to did you watch yesterday's no i haven't had a chance it's i was drenched by the end yeah you can see it people were saying you were in mid-season form yeah because your lighting is amazing you can see every crevice in your face and all the sweat which i don't like but apparently you do so it's very good good for all of you uh it's a very leafy thing for them to tie tie it up with a minute 50 to go and then jake muzzin to just dump an absolute pizza right up the center of the ice
Starting point is 00:10:30 as though he's never played defense before but it's okay justin hall drops into the butterfly like he's never played defense before and matt murray jumps the wrong way like a soccer goalie because he can't see the frigging thing. He's also never played goalie before. Really, I don't blame him for that goal. I really don't. Yeah. That should never have happened.
Starting point is 00:10:48 We had possession of the puck. Stop it down, look around, make a decision, but not that decision. Both he and Samsonov, I would say, allowed at least one goal each. That they shouldn't have. That they shouldn't have. Did you see the Luke Fox stat from last night?
Starting point is 00:11:04 Which one? The high danger scoring chances in the first period. We're 11-0 for Toronto. The score was 2-1 Washington. Wow. Wow. But for the Montreal game, like, it was Muzzin and Hall had a bad game overall. They were shocking.
Starting point is 00:11:22 One through three periods, they were awful. And the top line. I'm not letting them off the hook. But let's start with Muzzin and Hall here. Let's focus on Muzzin and Hall. Because every time I bring something up, you guys, and what about this? And I'm like, can we just focus on the thing for a second?
Starting point is 00:11:35 Well, I'm in mid-season form, which is derailing everything. Justin Hall like everybody Who criticized him throughout the playoffs Like that was their like celebration Moment they're like look I didn't do that Do you notice did I do anything I did not do that I didn't do that I don't celebrate I don't want him to
Starting point is 00:11:51 I want to celebrate Justin Hall not doing well The anti-Hall hive No I want him to be great I want him to be Norris Caliber that's what I'm hoping for Hell yeah I want him to be the guy But I'm realistic about it I wish like if you could just get one version
Starting point is 00:12:08 of one player on this team to make them a cup-caliber team? Do we get four-goal Austin Matthews? No. Do we get, like, Spinarama past Mitch Marner? No. We get Justin Hall for those three consecutive games against
Starting point is 00:12:25 Edmonton during the bubble year. And they win the cup in four sweeps. A sweep of sweeps. Yep. No question. But I think Justin Hall's gonna be fine in the end. Oh, yeah. The one bad game.
Starting point is 00:12:37 So one thing that I noticed with the Leafs, and a few people pointed this out too, is that they were very aggressive from the defensive, like the defense. Like Muzzin had a breakaway. First game or? First game. Montreal. Muzzin, man, if you see him at the face-off dot or lower, he's shooting. And I can't help but wonder if they had a more mobile guy in his spot.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Yeah. If they'd be able to generate more. And again, we're saying this about the Montreal game and the Montreal game alone, because I'm aware that Holland Muzzin had a good game last night, obviously, because it was a bit of a redemption arc for them. And it's the first game versus the second game. And I get that. I get that. But I think at a certain point, we are probably going to have to have the discussion, not yet, about Jake Muzzin. and maybe that it isn't his fault that he's not performing at the same level that he was three years ago he's had some pretty heinous injuries and the leafs keep putting him out there like he's the player that he was in 2020 and 2019 well and it i didn't it didn't instill confidence that before this season when he missed some time no no i don't have a back injury i just have chronic back issues and i'm like oh man um oh that's a problem that's not it's hard listen players need
Starting point is 00:13:54 a lot of maintenance and you know i've heard rumors over the years of this this player requires a lot of maintenance that player requires a lot of maintenance that this player was like he could barely walk between playoff games he'd go to the chiropractor and then he's fine and then he's able to get out there and every every player has their thing to get through but you know you know what i was thinking last night when they were losing because I, I think, I think grumpy thoughts when the Leafs are losing. And I think honest thoughts and sometimes
Starting point is 00:14:28 they conflict, but CJ sat right there and he was talking about the tough decisions the Leafs might have to make this off season, as in this off season, this previous summer. And he talked about the, the tough decisions they're going to have to make. And they didn't make frigging one of them. that's a good point they didn't make one of them and the big one was supposed to be muzzin
Starting point is 00:14:50 and they didn't pull the trigger on it they could have so they better figure it out with him because they've now they've made the decision that they have to figure it out with him they've made the decision that like what is his trade value going to be higher this offseason no you know i was and i was thinking like okay what if sandin has this you know big coming out party and he has this great season and it pushes hall down the lineup and then imagine you have like you know you have riley brody a a much improved sandin lilligren gets healthy and then you can have like muzzin giordano oh i love that delicious you know something like that that could work but But if Muzzin, I want to see Sandin promoted, not Muzzin demoted.
Starting point is 00:15:45 And I hope the Leafs didn't make the wrong decision in keeping this guy. Absolutely. And it's fair to ask the question, but we can't come to any conclusions on that. We're going to know probably 40, 50 games in. You're also paying Muzzin too much to be your third pairing defenseman. You are, but you may not have given yourself the choice. I think they knew the $0.6 million for the third pair. The back half of that deal was always going to kind of suck.
Starting point is 00:16:05 That's the summer's problem. that's the summer's problem mid-season if it's a great third pair i don't care yeah that's a good point um come summer yeah no absolutely that's way too much money it you know november december january i don't i don't give a shit win games so we've said all that to say this versus washington muzzin and hall owned over 70 percent of the game's five on five expected goals when they were on the ice hooray so we've seen the duality of what they can do and you can say hey the right the excuse is it's game one it's and the and montreal almost lulled them to sleep with that uh with that opener i i think i think at the end of the day we don't know and that was kept that
Starting point is 00:16:47 was a stat kevin petty collected by the way with the athletic just throwing that out there um but that is it's one of those things that that um i'll be keeping an eye on i think you gotta i think you gotta watch that if you're looking at a very good team and we said this in some of the previews it's like you're looking at a very good team instead of looking for reasons why they will win sometimes you're almost looking for reasons why they won't what could go wrong almost right because this is a very good team i i think game one can be summarized uh this simply the leafs played good hockey bad and the habs played bad hockey good um the leafs were sloppy and all over the place and not connecting passes and they weren't getting shots through and they weren't
Starting point is 00:17:26 creative and they weren't executing the montreal canadians played randy carlisle hockey 280 and Nailed it. They got in front of everything. And their penalty kill got in front of everything. They were forcing shots to the outside. And Jake Allen was big when he had to be. And every now and then, odd man rush is going to squeak the other way. And you better have shooters who can finish.
Starting point is 00:17:50 And they do. The Habs won game one the way they're going to have to win every game. I would have liked to see Matt Murray make a save or two. I agree. A couple more. All right. Well, yeah. it was a bit of a jack camberley game uh because you're like okay well that goal against sucked
Starting point is 00:18:10 but he also had this save which was actually very good the one he the one off the line too was amazing timely yeah like uh so i'm not i'm not gonna judge him too much based on that but uh what's john tortorella's quote from when he had i think it was uh it was a john graham as a starting goalie huh after after riding nikolai habibulin to a stanley cup he's it'd be nice to get a goddamn occasional safe and i i think back to and it's another early season game i think back to that seven six uh overtime catastrophe in chicago where the leafs eventually won but after matthews does the ear thing chicago ties it on their next shot and it's like garrett like i don't care what the defense did in front of you like yeah did they help you out did they put you in a
Starting point is 00:19:07 position to succeed maybe they didn't are they thin ultimately maybe i need a damn save yeah i need a damn save there garrett sparks sparks was in that he was in that game yeah that was his first game of the season hell of a precedent oh my god yeah i don't i didn't remember that oh i i did damn what it definitely wasn't freddie it was uh yeah that was that was sparks and you know hell of a it's an unfortunate debut for murray but i want to say this because samsonov allowed i i know there was zero high danger chances in the first i think the first one borderline the the second one was shit that was a terrible goal but then after that second goal he doesn't allow a goal right and i think that's very important and leafs fans leafs fans can
Starting point is 00:19:56 maybe take a lesson from oilers fans because i don't know if you caught the oilers first game in the season against the Canucks. Jack Campbell allowed two goals in his first four shots and they were down 3-0. How did that game end? The Oilers stormed back. Jack Campbell laid a hit.
Starting point is 00:20:12 That's all anybody remembers. All anybody remembers is a cool moment from Jack Campbell. McDavid had a hat trick. Oilers win. Yeah, and the Oilers won. Samsonov shut the door after a shitty first period
Starting point is 00:20:26 and the Leafs won. What else do you want? so if we're if we're you know going to be accused of going too hard on them in one direction i think if you give the leaf some grace hey they won absolutely one absolutely goalie one yeah and i liked how transparent he was post game because he gave an interview uh i think he was just talking to scrum and he was like i was nervous at the beginning and after that second goal i was like oh i need to get everything together i have a quote sure you're nervous your reaction is slow You're moving bad
Starting point is 00:20:58 Does that sum it up any better than that You're moving bad His English is heartwarming Thank you defense Do you have the rest of it He said it was a lot of emotion That part He talks about the second goal
Starting point is 00:21:12 After that second goal He says I needed to change a few things And then after that there was no more goals That's great I was very happy with his performance Even though that second goal was bad shut the door after Tavares has started the season with a goal and two assists looking really good looking really good Willie too is it is it KL redemption this year even though
Starting point is 00:21:36 he was a point of game player last year apparently he was bad it's I don't know uh you know come on we're all forgetting about the driver of all this and that's Dennis Mulligan it's Dennis Mulligan you know driving it all and like thank goodness uh because the Leafs could be deep deep into oh and two territory if that second line isn't as good as it is that top line struggled second game was better second game was better they were there it was better but they allowed bunting was a bit of a passenger last night but but they got benched at the other first one yeah he's having a tough start he has he's having a bit even though he scored the eight-year contract he's waiting on he's not kidding that's a little unfair um but i was
Starting point is 00:22:23 joking he was out of position on the Hathaway one yeah and it's it's a half measure right if you're gonna go after a guy for hitting your team's best player confetti gloves who stop in the play immediately grab the guy pinata him do whatever you got to do don't miss the hit and have it lead to a goal yep which
Starting point is 00:22:45 is exactly what happened the stinger I think it was a Haley Salvian speaking of the first line there and the top line struggling in her report cards for monday or the first game wednesday uh she wrote that like austin matthews's bar is domination like the bar he set is you're gonna take over the game occasionally and score a crazy goal and you're gonna look dominant and he wasn't that no so that's a failure on austin matthews's part when that's the bar of what we expect for the reigning heart trophy winner to be dominant in every single game but that's what he was in
Starting point is 00:23:17 the third game winning goal baby yeah like uh i've said this for years about this leaf steam help is not on the way and uh like after the first period you know oh you know guys are taking runs at austin matthews do they call up wayne simmons and i'm like jesus lord help is not on the way it's not coming put up your hands and fight fight for your life stick up for yourself
Starting point is 00:23:49 to party and Matthews runs over a guy like I love when he remembers he's 6'3, 220 yes oh yeah
Starting point is 00:24:00 yeah it is kind of fun when he throws it absolutely yes yes and if that's the precedent that he's going to set
Starting point is 00:24:06 for the rest of the season hell yeah and if you're a leaf on the bench don't you feel like a bit of a putz if you're not doing the exact same thing yes you do if matthews is having to do it yes you do yeah oh holy shit well and listen this guy scored 60 goals last year and he's our resident uh guy trucker yeah yeah like i i need to be better i also think that there's you know there's i mean we saw it in the montreal game but there's a tendency when the leafs do get a little heated of being like i'm gonna slash you and take a dumb
Starting point is 00:24:37 penalty yeah and and so and you're right so when when when you if you are gonna confetti gloves make sure like do it like you mean it or don't do it yeah commit yeah we haven't even talked about the penalties four straight yeah right against the league you're just not gonna end the game it was fucking ridiculous three straight uh three straight in the third how many penalties over two games nine yeah the least i gotta be like that first one the first one against montreal with giordano i'm like come on mark right yeah like that is clearly a penalty every every day it was it was i i look at that as less of a dumb penalty and more of either a bad read or poor positioning because he took a penalty that basically saved the leafs from a very advantageous
Starting point is 00:25:22 odd man rush maybe even a breakaway um so the mistake was made before the penalty if that makes sense um but yeah like some of those were fucking bad they are bad and the leafs are the kings of bad penalties they do take stupid effing penalties yeah they do like i wasn't one i thought was a little yeah and you you tweeted something out that i loved i forget which game it was but you're like every time they call a pick you think of or they don't call a pick you think of justin hall in the playoffs last year that was uh arbor jack guy on alex kerfoot and you know i had i had a little bit of pushback against it but now i i can't help but notice every single one and you notice how often it happens and like is it or isn't it a thing well this one led to a goal that's not
Starting point is 00:26:10 how it works is it or is it that's not how it works yeah yep nine penalties in two games that's a lot that's bad uh yeah cali aren't croaks go to pretty nice school too that third line's not looking so bad alex her foot is the most frustrating player in the world man is he good when he's good he's good when he's good and he's uh he is the he does so no one does more nothing when he's bad you mean he's like invisible in crate no he's extremely visible when he's bad he's he's a he's like a brilliant uh a brilliant drawing with a white marker he skates around a lot there's a lot of movement from kerfoot and he's doing a lot of nothing well in the leafs front office does like people to keep their skates moving and he
Starting point is 00:26:58 does do that he keeps his skates friggin moving and often it leads to wonderful things like the game tying goal last night and other times it leads to nothing he's uh also dumb penalty taker from last night right uh i don't remember his i believe he took one that was another thing that i pointed out in my obey kubel is the one i think you're talking about interference on uh jordan harris was that in the third that was kerfoot uh in the second period last night or in montreal that was a bad one yeah they're calling they call those man they call those now they set that precedent last year and i guess it's a new season but you found out didn't you so you took did they take four in a row in the third period against montreal four to end the game last night but it
Starting point is 00:27:45 was three in the third and the one at the end of the second oh yeah didn't they take three to start the game in montreal yeah three or four to start the game it was like that's you can't start in montreal correct all four of the guys who took the four consecutive penalties last night kill penalty oh it's yeah so there there's definitely some wrinkles with this team but i said this is gonna be a tough october and honestly i'm not worried like we say all this but like are you worried i'm not worried we forget that they also struggled to start last season do you remember the game oh the first time chicago game where everything was going down with cal beach and like how could they go in there and the fans aren't even going to be in the stadium and then
Starting point is 00:28:23 the Leafs went in there and I think they won in overtime but the Chicago Blackhawks were at the time like the worst team in National Hockey League and that was amongst the Leafs's awful start to the year I can't remember but it's a borderline annual tradition of going into Chicago in your first five games and playing like shit yeah and then they ended up with 115 points as in their best in ever in franchise history after a bad start that was the rational thought pointed out by the chris johnston show that i listened to on the way here god i love that who the hell are those guys great they're wonderful the trash the trash with the chocolate bar it's a slow starting steam team and i hope that they don't keep that up like i hope they get some more wins
Starting point is 00:29:01 here in october there were moments for concern moments uh you know to build off of on to game three absolutely do you think uh shelving keith should have went to the media and said i'm disappointing the guys no i think he needed to do that yeah yeah i want the leafs accountable you know what toronto's this big bad market to play in um method act this year play the part um and and what what what drew that thought out of me was people like and i myself thought this why is eli simsonov's first game as a toronto maple leaf against his former team because we're this year uh it's an 82 game season and to start the season we're gonna throw all the end the pool and the ones who float will be on the team come playoff and murray's gonna play his first hockey
Starting point is 00:29:53 night in canada as a leaf i think his first home against ottawa against ottawa let's see if he floats let's see if he floats oh you were you they said you had an unacceptable effort which you did um like what are we asking sheldon keith to do to lie no i thought we're great yeah and while the players would have appreciated i don't give a shit what the players would have appreciated i would have appreciated if they won game seven which year take your pick win win like this is this is your find a fucking way year find a way find a way you're you're you're playing against your former team you got the butterflies you're getting shit on in the media find a way I'm beyond I'm beyond caring win for me here these this game last night was the first of four at home
Starting point is 00:30:44 ones versus Ottawa ones versus Arizona and the other ones versus Dallas I think you have to come out of that three and one you got to find you you took one that's great get two more and I agree with you a little stretch I think you're absolutely right I mean you know one of the one of the things Babcock said that I did like was you know home games are supposed to be free win night basically i don't know if i'm paraphrasing i might be paraphrasing them right but uh yeah you should be the favorite in both those games and you need to bank those points before you go on the road yep yeah it's honestly like again we're breaking down the first two games of the year so if you're listening to this going well it seems overreaction well i think sometimes when
Starting point is 00:31:27 you have a podcast you do need to do that and and i and i don't know if we're overreacting so much it's like we're breaking down what is happening and we have a full view to this team could win the president's trophy i think we have a very accurate reaction i don't think it's over or under yeah one like i think there's just so much of toronto and so much of leafs nation that it gets focused on how's new jersey feeling today you know oh yeah breakout team breakout team got their asses kicked Ottawa by who Philly
Starting point is 00:32:00 Philly went out there and put five goals up which as soon as I saw JVR suit I'm like they're winning they're winning this game Mackenzie Blackwood wasn't the greatest allowing four goals on 24 shots you need to save and and Ottawa
Starting point is 00:32:17 you know big offseason they got their asses kicked in a weirdly mean and aggressive game Against the Sabres Buffalo looked a little dangerous It was fun That actually doesn't surprise me
Starting point is 00:32:33 Because Buffalo Is a little bit more What Buffalo was last year That's going to take time I wasn't doing that face For the Ottawa Senators But anyway, let's get it in You can bet that
Starting point is 00:32:47 Sports Interaction Canada's Sportsbook Presents You Can Bet That With David Bastl Must be 19 plus Please play responsibly Ontario only His name is Dave Bastl His team has not played yet
Starting point is 00:32:59 But they are playing Jesse's pick At sportsinteraction.com Slash S-T-P-N To win the Stanley Cup Rangers Jets
Starting point is 00:33:07 Rangers on the second half Of a back-to-back They are Interesting Wow Stanley Cup Actually you know what It's not bad
Starting point is 00:33:14 And you probably got Pretty good value Because that number Is going to keep on Going lower and lower Because there's a lot Of hype around New York And what they might do
Starting point is 00:33:21 During the regular season As far as Look after superstar players that are leaving fumbling teams. We've talked about that in the past, but you know what? Yaroslav Halak starts for the Rangers tonight.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Obviously, the backup goaltender of the two. A capable backup, definitely, but you know what? Jets' slight favorites in sports interaction. Good value on the Rangers if you're thinking they're going to go 3-0 to start the year, which they're more than capable of doing
Starting point is 00:33:46 because they are that good of a team. You're telling me I can get the best team in the National Hockey League as an underdog tonight? underdog wow with a noted alan walsh client in net oh yeah easy win easy win right wow well it's your third game in four nights um not too concerned seven goals last night they left some in the tank for tonight
Starting point is 00:34:11 i'll set you i'll send you a text tonight i'm one of those friends yeah no no no i'm just joking we also have battle of ontario and battle of alberta we'll start with ontario because let's be honest it's more important wow um wow sends and leaves saturday night what do we got dave like that was that was adam wild that's for clarity yeah thank you for that i'm just a guest i'm just a guest so uh yeah matt murray revenge game how about that eh huh yeah you guys are gonna be talking about that i'm looking forward to that that should be fun ottawa kind of i don't know i don't kind of look like ottawa against the Buffalo Sabres. I was kind of surprised
Starting point is 00:34:52 by that, but nonetheless, these two teams get up for one another. It should be a lot of fun. And then the Battle of Alberta right after. So you're looking at arguably the best kind of Saturday night you could have when you look at the doubleheaders back-to-back for Canadian teams, rivalries, provincial ones as well. Add to the
Starting point is 00:35:08 mix. Good way to start the year. I gotta ask you. Bank your picks now. Who are you taking? Toronto or Ottawa? Just straight up Toronto. Yeah. win the game yeah toronto because i'm not gonna cheer against myself yeah you're right okay me too although man when they play ottawa and they play montreal bad things happen i know all right now
Starting point is 00:35:27 more importantly and i want everybody to weigh in on this because uh it's important flames and oilers who do you pick in that battle it's the first of three that's all they're gonna play each other this year what do you got i got my answer what do you got oh boy i think the oilers are feeling better about themselves after their win than Calgary. So you're saying Oilers? Yes. Okay. Hubie doobie doo! Let's go Calgary Flames!
Starting point is 00:35:55 Dave, who would you go with? Who's your pick on that one? I got the Calgary Flames as well. I'm still trying to figure out how Edmonton took care of business last year during the playoffs because that was like whitewashing and I was like, really? That's what they did to the Flames? I think the Flames are the better
Starting point is 00:36:10 team. I think the Flames have the better goaltending as well. I I'm going to go with the Edmonton Oilers because Jack Campbell took out somebody with his full body after allowing two goals on his first four shots going down 3-0 and they won anyway the Oilers in a nutshell
Starting point is 00:36:26 hey Dave thanks so much for your time today and we will see you next week next Monday awesome looking forward to it have a nice weekend when you're a mid-sized business you need every competitive advantage you can get like an AI solution that works for you
Starting point is 00:36:42 not against you sap grow is built with ai embedded at its core working across every system and it's ready to go from day one so you can hit the ground running bring it with sap grow ai cloud erp for any size business listen you guys can say whatever you want to say but last night nick ritchie was the third star okay he was the third star he had both of arizona's goals against uh pittsburgh and so i just need you to know in a 6-2 game nick ritchie was the third star dude he's done well there he's done well in arizona don't don't don't you dare diss those coyotes all i'm saying is remember i said i drafted sydney crosby in fantasy happy boy yeah you happy happy boy right here jesse did you how much of the uh and tyler sagan got me three assists holy shit jesse's throwing
Starting point is 00:37:35 up by the way he's throwing up clips of the freaking rangers games now like he's like i've always been here my people what are you talking about new york always been mine just uh they had a really good game last night you know you're you're that will sasso sketch i which one is that i'm trying to was it will sasso you're gonna start using the word bodega like any any day now you're a fake new yorker i went to this little bodega called circle k you know got me some ketchup chips uh the new york rangers are absolutely on fire putting up seven goals yeah second game of the year they've looked absolutely there's there's nothing because adam your criticism of the rangers was like oh how could they uh keep this up and they repeat if
Starting point is 00:38:20 igor stands on his head you know if he doesn't do that anymore how are they ever going to do that well when they score seven goals they don't need an all-world goaltender i and the offense is Yes. Absolutely clicking. That is true. Laugh looks great. Yeah. I mean, it's too early in the season, but we're talking about President's Trophy picks. They look pretty good.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Okay. They look pretty good. The two of you have not made your Stanley Cup picks. Oh. Do I got it? Right now? Like right this minute. Who do you think is going to win the 2023 Stanley Cup? Adam Wilde?
Starting point is 00:38:58 2023 Stanley Cup, I am going to give to you ready? New Jersey Devils. New Jersey Devils, no. I think I'm going to give it to the Calgary Flames, guys. That's not a terrible pick. I'm picking the Calgary
Starting point is 00:39:16 Flames. And I think the reason is there's a lot of good vibes. The V-Bays are strong. And I think that they're a little pissed off about what happened last year. Like, if you look at this, oh, they beat the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche. Suck on that, Producer Drew. um and and i think here's the crazy thing is is they didn't you know some of their stars scored
Starting point is 00:39:36 like lindholm but they weren't relying on all big names here to score that is a deep scary team and i don't think anybody's picking them maybe there's a reason why maybe i'm an idiot but i feel like that team is good enough to be a final 14 minimum should be a final 14 they should compete with and i know elliot friedman picked the oilers to win the cup i think he's crazy i think it's calgary Flames, guys. Top to bottom, that's a strong team. Who's your pick? You just gave me a look. You say the Leafs.
Starting point is 00:40:05 What am I thinking right now? Because I think you know what I'm thinking. It's something about Calgary, right? No. No? What am I thinking? Say it. Guys, New York looks really good. No!
Starting point is 00:40:23 Boo! Get out of here! Let's go! let's go new york concrete jungle where dreams are made wet dream tomato that's right that's right i forgot about that uh hey can i just be the one to say i never liked that song oh it's it's such a that one song it's meh it's meh for a pop song oh yeah i mean really don't you don't have that empire state of mind i guess i don't i got that jay-z doesn't write his raps down i got that no but what if you did i got the olympics yeah when he was calling himself the greatest rapper alive i was like okay let's let's gear down a little you guys make very
Starting point is 00:41:14 the alive is a very important distinction yes yes well lil wayne was doing the same thing at the same time and lil wayne had it on his stage we said greatest rapper alive in flames and like absolutely the fuck no i know i know i know if you've ever heard of lowe wayne's rock album though that's a one for the ages prom queen it's it's bad jay-z's got a lot of a lot of albums i know i mean lowe wayne's rock oh no i know um who's just in the cutback i think it might be no i think it might be no you guys need a you are a bandwagoner welcome aboard it's you know so not me though i've been here i'm looking at yes it's early season results right but we put too much stock into how good igor shisterkin is and not enough stock in the
Starting point is 00:42:09 staggering firepower that team has but okay goals go away in the playoffs a little bit the game changes and it becomes a little bit rougher and a little bit more defensive i think they can do that but so can calgary so can calgary oh dude would anyone be shocked to see a rangers flames final i don't think so no that would make a lot of sense i don't think so if they well assuming calgary doesn't go we don't we forgot how to play hockey in the second round against the others because they're gonna meet again that was the weirdest one of the weirdest series i've ever seen and it was so anti daryl setter like that's not how he has his team's play they blew a a six six one lead and then but still one but it was bad yeah it was just very strange
Starting point is 00:42:57 so to your point uh one thing i was looking at because i i picked up a lot of uh rangers players in fantasy obviously because i'm riding them i think they're gonna be very one mistake i should i should have got more so i have uh i have panarin and i think i've cried her uh you got both yeah in my four groups i went hard so and they so they go against tampa uh versus tampa they get a goal from uh gudro zabinajad they win 3-1 next night they put up seven goals neither zabinajad or gudro score they get goals from the other parts of the lineup and it's so dangerous because it's not about the goaltending this year it's about this firepower in the top three lines where everyone can score goals mike rupp losing his mind last night about capo caco oh yeah laugh
Starting point is 00:43:44 looks good and then uh and then you have adam fox who's gonna be in contention every single year with kale mccarr for the next decade but those two go one to one about who's the best defenseman in the league man ah and then you have ugor which is the side note i think mccarr's got that wrapped up but it's up to adam fox to prove us all wrong wouldn't it be funny if adam fox lost the stanley cup to the calgary flames oh i forgot about that wouldn't that be hilarious the team that drafted him team he refused to play yeah that was a big thing that's a big thing that no one made a big thing of at the time no and no one i would love to go back and re-examine what the hell happened there the rangers are adam fox's third nhl team yeah who carolina too carolina
Starting point is 00:44:27 Because they traded him to Carolina And then the Carolina traded him to New York Yeah and I don't think he I'm not sure he ever played a game for Carolina I don't remember Because it was the Who was the guy that they traded It was the guy that the Leafs almost selected the defenseman
Starting point is 00:44:42 That they got for Fox Calgary got for Fox what's his name I don't remember oh Schillingson No no come on guys Was Dougie Hamilton involved Oh Hannafin It was the Hannafin box Because Hannafin came
Starting point is 00:44:57 And then Fox went to New York Why don't we just look it up I like this better Because Fox was like a third round pick Oh god They look really good Like I'm trying to think of teams who are going to do well in the regular season But that's the story for me
Starting point is 00:45:11 I want Adam Fox to come in If it can't be the Leafs Because it can't Just so you know I want Adam Fox to have to play in Calgary And watch the watch the flames hoist hoist hoist him on his own guitar dougie hamilton being involved in this all right so um hamilton the original trade was the calgary flames traded adam fox dougie hamilton
Starting point is 00:45:37 and michael ferlin to carolina for elias lindholm and noah hannifin that's one hell of a blockbuster it's a good trade if you keep fox yeah and the carolina and people forget how good ferlin was too yeah he was good carolina traded adam fox to new york for a second round pick a second round pick and that was it oh not their wow and then uh the devon taves get shit on this one's worse the two second round picks became mad so guard and uh my favorite mads noel gunler i have my favorite gunler i assume they're both gonna be like future 35 goal scorers because carol that's oh carolina does yeah oh that guy will score 30 goals let's go very york uh won that trade so far very good player very good player very good player yeah new york got a norris winner out of it i yeah
Starting point is 00:46:32 they won they won um i you're welcome rangers fans because now the steve dangle podcast has daily rangers updates steve dangle podcast official podcast of your new york let's go bodegas i'm square bodegas the m&m store can we rodway um what else lady liberty lady liberty the biggest serving of pasta ever at carmines um uh they don't have pizza no no they have a slice they have a slice also as long as we're talking about slang Jesse, I don't know what you're talking about The Rangers scored 7 goals

Starting point is 00:52:51 gotta remember alberta beef is the greatest and a beer a draft beer so a domestic 30 dollars and come on holy all right now you guys mentioned earlier so you're if you wanted to eat something you guys want to have dinner what would you both order you just both mentioned something outside the arena yeah um like chicken fingers bingo yeah chicken fingers so chicken fingers and fries with a beer chicken fingers you have to remember are just pieces of chicken breaded and fries are potatoes cut up and fried it's child they're extremely cheap to make it's Child food. $30.
Starting point is 00:53:28 For chicken fingers and fries. And a beer. And a beer. Now, if you wanted to get- Which costs more? Now, if you guys were both bad take food kings at the arena in Edmondson, and you both wanted burgers because you're crazy, because you're right. Two burgers.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Two burgers and two fountain drinks and some Lay's chips. And it's those bags of Lay's chips you get on Halloween that are always just a third full. They're mostly air. You ever open one that had nothing? Yes, I have. The Humpty Dumpty ones I opened, they had nothing. The worst offenders.
Starting point is 00:54:00 The worst. Easily the worst offenders. Yeah, they're like, just seal it up. Who cares? Some kid's going to cry about it. Who cares? Screw Timmy. For two cheeseburgers, two Lay's chips, and two Fountain Pops.
Starting point is 00:54:13 What do you think? I think you should tell us. $55. Go to jail! Go to jail now! No fries. Is it wrong that this makes me feel bad Because they're gouging
Starting point is 00:54:29 Their fans and their customers Because once you're in the arena If you want to eat You have to buy something It's Harold Ballard energy Yeah this is so mean Some of you are going to be confused Because we guessed
Starting point is 00:54:44 $30 for the popcorn and drinks That's all You're not You're never happy about the arena price So that's our probably over-the-top guess of what we would expect the high end to be that we would be grumpy about. And it's more! Right.
Starting point is 00:55:02 At 30, I would have been upset. Holy cow! That's rude and disrespectful. Your cheapest option on the menu for a combo on this particular menu is an all-beef hot dog, which is basically the leftover meat. They put it into a stick and put it on a cheap bun. and then they give you a beer too 20 bucks 20 75 for a hot dog and a beer 20 i'd fight them tooth and nail the average the average what like like minimum wage in in ontario you'd have to
Starting point is 00:55:38 work over an hour you have to work an hour and a half to afford that with that oh shit it's like 15 bucks now dude that is that is crazy is that the worst in the league i don't i don't know because you'd have to have somebody who was able to to dig up 32 arena prices and we still don't know what the coyotes is because they're not done like toronto's bad toronto yes yes toronto's bad i bet new york's bad bet boston's bad so i'm on the scotia bank arena site and i was trying to see if they had the prices but they just list what foods they have they don't have the actual prices of the food you have to be in the arena and take pictures yeah they don't want to get twittered like i did yeah well somebody took a picture of it so and then here's here's the fun
Starting point is 00:56:23 thing apparently jerseys are expensive at the uh at the team store more expensive than other teams and now if you want to watch anything oilers including the press conferences you have to pay is it $8.99 or $7.99 a month for oilers plus now if you're not familiar with what oilers plus is it's everything to do with the oilers digitally but you got to pay a subscription fee which is the same subscription fee that you paid for netflix 10 years ago uh and you're getting not did we open pandora's box what do you mean like with netflix and like oh yeah this is great and oh there's this other one oh that's great and then there's this and that's great and all of a sudden you're subscribed to 20
Starting point is 00:57:08 damn things for $9.99 a month and you're paying $20 bajillion yearly for everything. I am not. I will die before I pay
Starting point is 00:57:24 for post-game press conferences. You'll have to take me to jail. You'll have to kill me. $9 a month? You'll have to kill me If you want to charge me For post game press conferences
Starting point is 00:57:43 You're going to have to kill me That's the girl Who was like trying to break up with her boyfriend Yeah Or something I don't remember I didn't watch the show I saw it in passing when SL watched it
Starting point is 00:57:58 Compare and contrast this with the Flames Who started last night by saying and this thanks is all thanks to a tweet from pete blackburn um the first 5 000 fans is ages 18 plus in attendance tomorrow will receive one complimentary domestic 14 ounce draft beer where's this calgary oh nice because the edmonton thing went viral so the flames are like yeah is that legal in alberta it is in ontario that would not be legal because you're not allowed to you you're not to give out beer on the street and stuff if they have like a uh muskoka brewery truck like handing out free beers you have to give them like a penny yeah you know you can't

Starting point is 00:59:58 is a real story uh we're in a airport in halifax and the guy goes you want to get a beer and the guy goes what it's 10 30 he's like yeah it's 11 back home yeah they're half an hour different from everybody else it's 11 back home it's fine that's good except said with the newfoundlander um dude that is that's wild really really bad and that's they already charge fans to stand in the concourse oh yeah do they still do they do that during the regular season as well guys i don't know i don't know like i understand paying for that i i understand that a little bit standing in the concourse um during the playoffs and just wanting to be a part of the energy i totally get i understand that more than 9.99 a month to watch the post gamers and they go to jail if you've ever
Starting point is 01:00:47 watched a post game for anyone for some reason no team has yet figured out how to use a microphone on the person asking the question so for whatever reason you'll hear uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh yeah well chris you know the thing is uh we really believe in such and such player and uh we think he's great and you're like what the who asked that i'm assuming that cj i don't know and and what are they talking about no idea no fucking clue at no point has anybody said you know what let's bring on an intern who's in the media department let's pay them a rate and let's have them go through the audience to go here's the microphone here's the microphone and make them watchable it's impossible no couldn't i bet the oilers didn't either you can't listen i you're listening to
Starting point is 01:01:33 one-sided conversation the entire time there for 10 for 9.99 a month that person better be the rock should we talk about how we did that how on the wednesday show we talked about the rock and then all of a sudden he's at a leaf can we talk about the rock on wednesday yeah a lot we you told the whole story about uh wrestlemania yeah and then we also talked about how he was corny and all this so you were at wrestlemania 18 can you describe what it was like there you're you're mean adam sometimes you have the memory of a goldfish i know i know you've always known that can we can we play the rock can we play the rock yeah from the game i don't know it's on their instagram if you say no if you hear us if you hear us wondering about this
Starting point is 01:02:22 the problem we have is that if we play the wrong audio from the wrong source we could get a copyright strike yeah and then that could put our channel into jeopardy we don't want to do that but we used to be able to run like audio from uh shows that were on like like we used to be able to take audio from uh press press conferences uh audio from tv shows that were like in intermission we'd be able to play a clip or something like that we used to do that in the early days and now we just the rules have been so tightened that you it's like well no that's part of our broadcast you can't have that even if it's for news purposes which is weird because on the radio i can play whatever i want because it's considered for news purposes but you can't do it in this in this
Starting point is 01:03:02 particular instance i don't know jesse has it up but hopefully not on the screen because this this i think would be this would fall under um it's their copyright like even though we're in arena production but when you put it on twitter what's supposed to happen is it becomes a part of the public domain you're not supposed to actually once everything that makes it to twitter that is officially posted is supposed to be okay that's now twitter's and twitter makes that the public i mean that's how instagram looks at it too leafs in arena host scott i love scotty with with the scotty willits baby hardest handshake of all time with the rock just because you have to he also has a good solid handshake in general he well and just i i feel like enough time has passed i can tell

Starting point is 01:05:07 watching that last night i laughed my ass off it was so funny i was it was i was very caught off guard and i love matthew's account of it which is what the fuck that's the rock i none of the players knew and that's why they won last ilya samsonov did not know who the rock was i i want to believe him no he's mike stevens said that's fair yeah you don't everybody doesn't know everybody no it's true i remember one time everybody doesn't know everybody i can't know the rock by accident yeah no you would think that he would know a little i remember um uh uh you guys know the artist zed the the dj uh yeah yeah clarity clarity yeah it was his big hit but he's also done a ton of production whatever so he came into kiss when i worked at kiss early on and that
Starting point is 01:05:57 was just when clarity had come out so he's just you know rising and he's producing lady gaga's album and that's gonna go there's a lot going on and my co-host at the time made a simpsons reference and i laughed and i forget what the reference was and he looked he's like i'm sorry guys i don't know what's going on and and my co-host looks at me he's like oh it's the it's the simpsons and zed's like i grew up in eastern europe we never got to watch that oh wow oh wow i was like oh yeah yeah so i can i could see it man the simpsons something we take but like yeah what do you mean you've never seen jumanji what do you mean you've never seen jumanji the new one
