that's my favorite play us out what does that even mean uh that's a good clip a hundred thousand
views on steve's video on uh friday night a hundred thousand which one the one that you uh
you live streamed remember you did a live really yeah that's great uh and here's what's going to
be interesting uh will there be more if the will more people watch this game if florida goes into
it without their starting goaltender because this morning he's not on the ice oh my god you know
what would be so ironic is if the panthers lose the cup making the same mistake the bruins who
they beat did last year with holding on to their goalie for too long and then making the switch
unless he earnestly got hurt in game six um the fall the play has fallen off a cliff well
has it like i've thought i mean the oilers have been scoring banger goals i guess and you know
he was great through the first half of the game you you just you took away your point in like a
sentence what how they did it because i don't think they made a mistake because i don't think
it was bobroski's fault that they lost three games well no what's the mistake i'm talking
through it though i'm talking through it like because people have been asking me uh like since
game four they're like is he hurt and i'm like i don't think so no like uh like i didn't think he
was the reason they were losing games yeah i know he got pumped uh eight one i know he didn't allow
all eight um but if it turns out that they held on to him like no matter how those games shook out
uh you have an injured Bobrovsky or a healthy Anthony Stollers who's been great for you all
year I don't think Stollers wins any of those three games no no no does he give you a better
shot no probably not no I don't think goaltending was has been the issue no no well like like
the the henry goal from i think it was game six for example um i'm looking at it and i'm like man
you know would you love a save there and i'm like dude it goes off the bar you hear it right
beautiful like half these goals are breakaways or two-on-ones or absolute piss missiles the one
goal you think about and you're like oh that's on bobrovsky is the one where he's uh gets it
was it banked off of him and it goes in i think it was the mcdavid bank and then somebody finishes
off oh yeah that was that was in game five my memory doesn't isn't great but um that's like
i think about like oh there's one goal there but that one goal is also not winning you any of those
three games no but they're now they're getting outscored i think last 21 goals the oilers have
17 of them the panthers haven't held a lead since game three that's rough since the game ended where
they won that they almost choked on yeah they haven't held a lead since then the last time
the panthers scored a goal that gave them a lead we were in boston pizza in stovall
yeah that was a while ago it was over wasn't that over a week ago eight days nine about a week and
a half yeah like we watched that live with everyone that was the never in my life would
i have predicted yep that's the last time they would lead this series potentially ever yeah
yeah it's insane and and yeah and you're right i think that goaltending is not the reason that
they they lost the game uh remember that they went 31 minutes and 55 seconds without a shot
from their forward the florida panthers did in game six according to michael russo they were
visibly rattled i mean yeah and uh i think that is a first i don't think we've ever seen this
panthers team visibly rattled about anything no i've uh i mean the oilers have let's think about
it uh you go into game four and you have a chance to win the cup and you don't win it and we were
talking about that i'm like okay well there's one team that's completely fighting for their lives
and they don't want to be swept for the first time since 1998 um and there's a team that's like
we got four cracks at this four they have four chances all we gotta do all we gotta do is not
lose four straight we got this crazy yeah like we could we could do this our name's already on the
up and then the doubt creeps in more yeah more and more and then andrew raycroft nailed it on
twitter he's like that flight from edmonton to florida for the florida panthers is the worst
flight in the history of the league oh yeah those guys dude so now all the pressure is on floor did
they bring their family up by the way for game six was there any reports on that i assume they
did yeah they've been like flying back and forth and everything and like the reason um i didn't
think this was possible on florida's end is because you said we hadn't seen florida look
this rattled before we have last year against the vegas golden night wow yeah when they got
absolutely smoked and i thought those lessons from there carry through for the florida panthers
through this playoffs and i thought that was a lot of the reason they were in the position they were
was because they they were there last year you know they get they went through the finals they
got pumped and they come back this year with a vengeance and they're in the finals again and
we're not gonna make that same mistake because it's so hard to get to the stanley cup final
incredibly hard it's literally impossible to win the stanley cup and we're here two years in a row
and we're one game away we're gonna win one of these and i didn't think it'd be possible and it
feels like a miracle that we're sitting here uh 24 hours from game seven i yeah we're talking
about the panthers end of this like we'll talk about the yeah we'll get unbelievable cinderella
story uh of the oilers the the difference last year i thought with the panthers is they were
never really in it like it very quickly was like all right this is vegas's series and panthers
might squeak one and kachuk is very obviously like half dead and then we find out afterward
actually he was three quarters dead um and so that wasn't surprising this one we watched them
go up three nothing we watched Edmonton not be able to do a damn thing and without any major
injury as well by the way exactly exact well so this was the interesting thing because it gets
lost in all the comeback talk think all the dirty crap from the first three games most of it most of
it was going one way and it wasn't going against Edmonton Bennett popped McDavid real good that
one time that was bad uh and bouchard got strangled by aaron eckblad something i've never
seen before who got bennett wasn't it kane yes kane yeah got bennett yes and he has been
just like his team way less effective fogel got lusterina and he has been actually not that bad
but less effective um a number of panthers got got bad in those first three games and i mean
if you're the panthers you take that trade every single time so wait you mean to tell me i gotta
take a few dirty hits and get three wins three nothing in the series i'll take that yeah but uh
they have faded and faded and faded and the oilers have chipped away chipped away chipped away
and all of a sudden it's starting to look like the panthers emptied the tank like they emptied
the tank on those first three games like the oilers have made a lot of adjustments um the
panthers aren't able to do a damn thing in the neutral zone anymore um they've completely flipped
florida's style on their head like they florida can't get out of their own zone uh edmonton is
just nope here you go that oh thanks for the puck there you go oh thanks for the puck there you go
And they're just, I never thought Edmonton would be able to park the bus the way they do these days.
And they're doing it masterfully.
They're overwhelming the Panthers.
The second they get the puck, it's like they're already out of time.
They ran out of time before they even got the puck.
I've never seen, this is the strangest turning of the tide I've ever seen in a series ever.
the only thing i can compare it to um that i remember watching closely because i didn't watch
2010 uh flyers bruins closely um it reminds me of 2011 canucks blackhawks okay and what changed
the tide there and no one really remembers this because the canucks won yeah you know they choked
on a three game lead and they choked on a lead in game seven i'm pretty sure and it goes to
overtime and they end up winning so no one no one cares yeah no one cares what they choked on they
won but if i'm not mistaken they were up three nothing and then game four dave boland comes back
and that shut everything down it the canucks had no answer for dave boland he was a defensive
stalwart center he's just a dick yeah like he was just uh you know his star shone so bright for such
a short amount of time but that guy was the boogeyman for a few teams he really was even
when he wasn't scoring um and you just saw the Canucks very obviously take on an air of not again
oh no we're gonna we're gonna lose to this freaking team again and with the panthers
it's i don't know if it's not again because this didn't really happen to them last year right
they they lost in the cup final but like they got they got dominated right they weren't really in it
vegas was clearly the i mean frig go look at the deciding game what was it nine three they got
killed they got that was one of the most anti-climatic clinching games ever it took the
longest not because it went to overtime but many goals all the damn goal horns yep um this is now
a panthers team you know what a few people said during the stream what they say are the panthers
the new leafs and i've never quite been in this position where i was like guys even the leafs
have never choked like this well the panthers still haven't yet they haven't yet the league
also haven't had the opportunity no they haven't like i know that it's so what do you want their
payroll what is this yeah but it's it's so like besides the point no no here's the yeah but people
are asking about it they're like well there's the four one and the three one and okay this is three
nothing it's happened a handful of times ever it's happened in the stanley cup final successfully
once unsuccessfully once um but if the panthers blow this if edmonton wins this cup it's maybe
the greatest cup edmonton's ever won save for you know they won a cup without gretzky which
i'm sure at the time they probably thought might have been impossible but
you come back from three nothing if you're the panthers you choke on that this is probably
the biggest choke in the history of the sport i would think so i think i don't even think there's
anything there's no there's no question this is the if this if the panthers collapse here this
is the greatest collapse we've seen in nhl history yeah yeah because like the other two times it
happened in modern history the i like do count the island i guess the islanders so three times
70 what was it five seven yeah 74 75 somewhere around there uh so three times in recent history
um those weren't in the finals three times in non-original six history yeah like those weren't
in the finals so i think like this one being on this stage and seeing how dominant the panthers
were throughout the first three rounds and when we look back on this series i think we'll look at
it as the panthers weren't good in game one the it was bobroski who was good he's a part of the
team so you can say that he saved their their rear end there and then game two they were good
and then game three that was edmonton's game edmonton had it florida was begging for edmonton
to win that game midway through that second period from the second period on of game three
edmonton is dominated so we look at this as like florida really was good in a game and a half
you know yeah but that that at the time was half yeah that was half the series so to me that's
a coin flip and they really lucked out on the coin flip but it's how we got to this point you know
we shouldn't be as surprised as we are that edmonton's been able to run off three games in a
row because they've been they've been really good and they've been so streaky this whole season all
they've done is lose a couple games and then go on runs we remember they were on the verge of
breaking the all-time win streak yeah that was this is what this team does they play streaky
hockey and they've been able to ride
at these whole playoffs and in this series
in particular and Adam you're right
it's the greatest choke job ever in NHL history
if if yeah
if they lose yeah because no one's gonna care if
they win yeah no one will be
erased from the histories
no one will give a damn
and and and if you're an oiler fan
you have to know that you'll
be the only ones going away with well
we almost got it no like it
you're not it's not gonna feel great no
right yeah I mean in their defense like
2006 they don't really talk about how they almost had them there was an article i saw that was like
oh you know oilers had uh you know just like in 2006 the oilers had all the momentum heading into
game seven the fuck do you mean just like 2006 this hasn't happened since 1945 just like 2006
2006 was nothing like this no what are you talking about this is one of the most miraculous things
i've ever seen and i just wish it were a little more dramatic because eight one all right
incinerated them cool you get to respawn like a video game for game five you win that one was a
little closer this this one game six that wasn't close not really hold on though not really hold
on that on that point i want to talk to you we had this right off the top about manscaped right
the manscaped ad right off the top ball people don't hear that because there are sdp vip ad
free subscribers there you go and they don't know what you're talking about adam i want to talk
about having some fucking balls i want to i want to i want to i want some guts some whatever some
cojones whatever you want to call it huevos chris knobloch rookie coach i'm not sure if it's being
a rookie coach and and not knowing that you shouldn't do what he did or you shouldn't take
that kind of a risk in the position that you're in but chris knoblock when that game was two one
took the biggest risk of the night and and fought that uh that offside call and that nobody's
talking about that that was about as close as you can get and the reason i say a more conservative
coach wouldn't have done that is because not only you could lose this and then you're down a man
and then they are on a on a power play for two minutes so it was two nothing and then panther
scores and so you you would give them the opportunity to tie it up within the first
two minutes of the second period yeah oh like 90 seconds like it was insane that's crazy yeah and
and so and i you know obviously we saw the replay over and over and over again but i have to say
for a rookie coach to make a call like that not not enough is being made of that that was all
balls two calls because he called the time out oh they could review it longer uh that's the video
team too because he's like i don't know well how could he that's the other thing i'm so glad teams
have video teams now because how could a coach possibly know oh how could a coach possibly know
and a coach who was lesser prepared without a video team might make the wrong call and go you
know what let's just take our lumps and try to get some something back he might not have even
seen it in real time i didn't i didn't see it well even even on the replay he wouldn't have
you just can't tell it's just really hard no when i was like oh what are they reviewing and remember
you got to overturn the call so there's got to be conclusive evidence that the call on the ice was
wrong and that that is it was about as close as it could get the how much of the puck was in the
zone 80 percent yeah dude as oh it's a hairline and like i'm trying to think of a goal coming
back because of a player taking the puck in the way for hagi did like he's dragging it across the
blue line get it over land like just well we see the least do that all the time no at least kill
me on oh not like so many bad offsides because of that well who was he drafted by well maybe
you go you learned it's a good can't take the leaf out of the kid um unless you're hyman then
you can take all the leaf out and be like you're a good playoff performer
but um no that was uh it was the right call and i missed paul maurice's post game did he say that
he wouldn't have challenged it yeah yeah that's what i'm saying you would have been wrong there
paul it was the right call uh we could play that if you want i would know because i would like to
see it i was a little preoccupied this weekend the pregame one though before we play this i want a
stat i was looking at for why this was the easiest decision ever for chris okay i'm ready i'm ready
because i was i was on nhl.com and i'm sorting sorting all the the stats there and if you if
you sort by minimum 15 games played in a playoff round so the team had to have gone at least 15
games deep into a playoff uh stanley cup final play or stanley cup playoffs um and you look at
penalty kill percentage the edmonton oilers sit number one at 94 percent who gives a shit if you
lose that yeah yeah that's right they've allowed one goal you have no they've allowed uh four now
oh it's a four okay i think it's 62 of 67 94.1 percent who cares if you lose the challenge you
have literally the greatest as when stats were counted for penalty kills as of that moment
the greatest playoff penalty kill in the history of the sport there was a time that's no hyperbole
they're number one at 94.1 there was a time during the show where i think it was on home ice
uh 55 of every 100 uh penalties were killed like 45 of the time something like that the puck was
gonna end up in their net that's insane so you're like you can't play hockey that way so you're
saying jesse that whether he challenges it or he doesn't it's immaterial two minutes on the
penalty kill oh man but there's momentum maddie bring this up this is the this is the chart i
just filled through the filters minimum 14 games uh the team played that playoffs uh you sort by
penalty kill percentage the 23 24 edmonton oilers 94.1 they are two percent better than the 99 2000
new jersey devils who are 92.5 era devils now yeah now incredible stuff oilers cup final well
this is all 15 games played in the playoffs right total okay i was about to be like look at all these
teams and how far they went but you're actually arranging it by steve you idiot no all these
teams went to at least at least final 15 games yeah they played yeah wow wow well you could know
you could have lost in the second second yeah no you would have went to the yeah yeah yeah never
mind anyways um so chris knobloch with that that team that you have the penalty that you have you
have supreme confidence you have the cojones the penalty kill gives him the balls to make a decision
like that there's no fear after that point you know you're like who cares if i lose this i got
these guys uh the four guys out there and then they'll they'll kill this if i lose it so see how
many people are involved in that decision so there's the coach he's got to call the timeout
there's the video staff who's who's got to go through it and make sure that they got the right
call and there's the assistant coach who runs the penalty kill unit and there's the players on the
penalty kill unit all of that goes into should we challenge this for offside all of that it's a team
effort like top to bottom for this team now i gotta see paul murray's filling his diaper here
yeah i can't i don't want to believe that paul murray said what people are telling me he said
because that's preposterous unless he's kidding here's paul murray's talking about the cia
i'll uh understand the emotion in in the moment cj cj asked this question that went viral hey
i'll uh understand the emotion in in the moment but i'm wondering now what you thought of the
offside review and did they get the call right i have no idea uh it may well have been offside the
alliance person informed me um that it was the last clip that they got where they made the decision
that it shows it's offside i don't have those so the video that i got at my bench um so i was
upset after the call based on what i see at my feet and what my video person looks at
there was no way
I would have challenged that
if it was reversed. There was no way
I thought you could conclusively say that was
offside. Okay. I don't know
what the Oilers get. I don't know what the league
gets. I just know that
when I would have had to have challenged that
based on what I saw, I would
not have challenged.
I'm not saying it's not offside. Okay.
We'll get still frames.
We'll bring in the CIA and figure it out.
There you go.
We have to get that in there.
I would have made that call.
I would not have challenged.
That's my point.
That's my point.
My original point is that I don't think a veteran coach makes that challenge.
I don't think they do.
I think they go, you know what?
Let's just leave it.
They got momentum.
Let's move on.
And that's why I freaking love the guts here, man.
He's got a legitimate gripe, though.
He's not saying they got the call wrong.
He's also not saying they got it right.
But he has not seen it.
um he hasn't had the time to see it um his gripe is they got the call right because they have the
footage why don't i have it is it a bit of sour grapes yeah your team just yeah you just lost
third straight game yeah the verge of the greatest choke job in history the way it was conveyed to me
is he was like well i wouldn't have done it like like as a noble thing like well i would have had
more integrity the integrity is a sport half size isn't for a millimeter yeah but no like i i fully
understood what he was saying there that's whoever told me that yesterday i can't remember who it was
how dare you you made it sound like prison rules paul was a bad guy probably drew i honestly you
know what probably was it might have been i can't look this up there was a stat floating around and
i haven't been able to verify it uh because i forgot to look it up but but there was some
All right, now say it into a microphone.
No, I'm saying it.
No, this is an easy one.
Short-handed goals.
Apparently, the Leafs are somewhat close to...
They allowed almost as many short-handed goals
as the Oilers have all playoffs.
And at one point, people were saying
that the Oilers have still allowed less goals
on the power play than the Leafs have.
But I don't know if that's...
It's hard to look it up
because they don't allow power play.
It's believable, though.
It's believable.
Not as like, oh, I assume the Leafs are garbage.
It's just...
Edmonton's that crazy.
Four goals in four rounds?
well you don't get knocked out of the playoffs first round by being good
oh i wish people would get that through their head it's it is important to remind you that
oh no no jesse we're right there important to remind you too that the uh taking crazy
the toronto maple leaves had a four percent power play jesus four percent oh my god four percent no
run it back run it back with all the primary pieces of the top unit as well cj really fanned
the flames of yeah nation on twitter over the weekend when he talked about how the leafs must
regret uh letting zach hyman go and how that's a big regret from uh the organization yeah a lot of
people uh angered steve dangle when they came back to hey we don't really regret this also the team's
great right now so what are you talking about let's run it back i uh um not not to make it
about the leafs it's just say you don't watch the playoffs after the leafs are out yeah like say you
don't watch it's okay i don't have to i uh i almost got into it with someone yesterday and
i'm like i'm i think i'm done justifying this take um no that's enough no you justify it to me
they keep losing you justify it to me why they should run this back yeah i think that's fair
well i'm done pitching this now dude you lose seven out of eight series it's a foregone conclusion
that you're breaking it up unless you give me a good reason why they shouldn't cj is right in us
in in this in this tweet because yeah i don't think an organization does recover from losing
a guy like like zach hyman but at the time that contract seemed pricey and and i think what cj is
saying too more than the 50 something goals because i don't think anybody that told you
when zach hyman left the leafs that he was going to get 50 goals would have been somebody that
it's like okay you're not a serious person i believe 30 was possible right yeah max 35 maybe
no it's zach yeah uh uh-huh uh-huh uh but i think more than that and this is where zach hyman
uh gets a lot of credit in the nhl but they don't talk about it a lot like in nhl circles but they
don't talk about it a lot media side is what he brings to a team generally the work ethic
everybody loves them real team like there are things about zach hyman that are you know
everybody's got that guy on the team that everybody loves like there's he's the glue guy
dude and everybody loves zach everybody loves this guy did you see did you see him miked up
on the oilers bench cheering on connor brown's breakaway goal yes i was just like just
ended already he was known for from the time he was in kindergarten having an otherworldly
work ethic like his kindergarten teachers told said this and then and on top of that uh he
happens just to be a great guy to read the tweet from cj since we're referencing it uh looking back
i'm not sure the leafs have ever made a bigger mistake than letting zach hyman walk away
that's an all-timer the organization never recovers from and nobody could have called
that at the time but i think he's right and it doesn't mean that it doesn't mean you wouldn't
go back and make the same decision with the same information and oh that's yeah the same
information i think everybody probably does what the leafs did it's probably it's both sides of
the coin you do this but it was also a mistake yes you know absolutely are you allowed to do that
Are you allowed to have both sides of your mouth talking about this issue?
I think you're allowed to say, yeah, that really sucks,
and they screwed that up.
Secondly, what intelligent general manager would have given him that contract
at that time?
Ken Holland.
Ken Holland.
Yeah, Ken Holland, who's known for great contracts.
I think he had a career-high 21 goals at that point.
No, because he had the 34-1 game in Edmonton, right?
Oh, yeah.
No, I think it's career-high 21.
yeah but he didn't play a full season yeah it was in so if you do it like goals 18 19 71 games 21
goals but if you do the goals per game the uh 21 and 51 looks really good in the um uh 1920 season
but then he had the next year where he had 15 and 43 he right but that's that's a 30 goal pace yeah
yeah 30 goal pace uh by the way thanks uh shout out to friggin uh who was it edler who uh need
him and ruined all that oh yeah yeah that's that's two straight years in 1920 and 2021 where he's on
a 30 goal pace uh and then the seasons are both the short shortened season yeah for him also his
plus minus stats even though we don't really care about them are kind of fucking good things happen
when he's on the damn ice he's a good player goofy they're exceptional we've always known this it's
so frustrating and he's doing it in edmonton with about the same ice time as he got in toronto about
19 minutes 30 seconds a night it's it's crazy and I think I so I think in that regard I think you
go back I think most general managers do what Kyle Dubas did because here's the deal would they have
wanted to keep Zach Hyman yes could they know why because they had the four massive contracts
the time for this team to win and this is why I again I keep going back to you they got to move
on the time to be for this team to win was 1920 and 21 that was when the Leafs window was what
What happened those years?
First round and out.
First round and out.
And I think, let me look it up, first round and out.
Actually, one of those years, they didn't even make the playoffs.
Yeah, the Columbus series doesn't count.
They didn't even make the playoffs that year.
They call it the postseason.
It's not.
It was a play-in round.
You lost.
Stop.
Anyone who wants to keep this core together,
genuinely from the bottom of my heart, just...
Maybe Zach Hyman was the member of the core we didn't realize we had.
I want to bring them in and give them a gentle but sincere hug.
and just be like i help me understand this do you help me understand why you want this team to do
this to you again i think they're being bad do you buy into the perspective that the team has had
very successful regular seasons yeah and some people just enjoy watching a very good team you
know you win 50 or whatever how many games you put up 105 points yeah nhl they're winning around
50 games a year really good 105 points 110 points whatever it's a great team they're fun
they go to the playoffs they lose ah that's disappointing but you just enjoy watching
hockey and you got a decent team you know those what do you say to those fans what i would say
is those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it and i'm old enough to remember when
the teacher's pension plan which used to own the leafs was always ripped on and accused of keeping
the leafs just good enough to make the playoffs win around maybe two get us uh you know get all
the little piggies lining up to the trough and eating their slop and then they don't win a cup
again and then they come back next year with more expensive beer and hot dogs and season tickets and
merch and everything oh and oh you forgot the time where they wrote a note to the fans the new york
rangers were not the first team to do i don't remember that the leafs wrote a note to the fans
how about the time they had a parade for losing in the third round in 93 did they you bet your
ass they did okay well that was very that was far that was that was a long time ago that was like
steve stavro era that's creepy well and that's not my era either i was five years old for that
but i read up on history guys like this has happened several times over the course of the
where they've been accused of being good enough don't be afraid to try to be bad if if the if
where you might end up is great yeah yep if you want to stay it good that's on you you want to
stay it okay they're okay you lose in the first round like 16 teams miss the playoffs and then
there's eight teams who get knocked out in the first round and you are somewhere between the
bottom and the top of those eight teams you'll yeah that's okay good for you you're on the good
side of okay you're on the positive side of okay you're in the green so what you're saying is that's
not for you no it's not but i'm tired of bringing home c pluses and b minuses but steve what if they
trade marner and things change you tried so that's yeah no no and all i said you see what i said
there things change i think there's a lot of it comes down to well at least we have this
at least we have this at least we think we have a chance it worked for us it's a mirage though
it's a mirage so the idea that they have a chance going into any first round at this point
you guys have got to be serious right like like they don't will they and if they do they're going
to get killed in the second we'll just keep losing zach hyman's and we'll keep losing trevor moore's
and we'll keep losing half the damn oilers and we'll keep uh uh finding mason marchment
signing him to a deal teaching the dude like half how to skate like yeah he he was a talented raw
player with poor skating they they taught him everything spent thousands and thousands of
dollars over years of uh development and then went here you go divisional rival here's a perfectly
good player for you. And now he's making millions of dollars in Dallas. Justin Brezzo, we're going
to scout this kid. We're going to roll out the red carpet. Everyone wants this kid. Everyone wants
this kid. Six foot five. He's got over 60 goals in the OHL. Everyone wants this kid. And we won
the bid. We won the bid without even having to give him an NHL contract. That's how good we are.
where the Toronto goddamn Maple Leafs.
And we're going to spend years and thousands of dollars
and time with our experts and resource experts
who we painstakingly took from the farthest corners of the world
because we have the best team hockey can buy.
Best people hockey can buy.
And we're going to teach this guy,
here's how you be 6'5 and score 60 goals,
but also move and um here divisional rival you go ahead and take him because we just let him walk
this is just gonna keep happening well i i don't think it will but uh let's get back to no you
don't think it will i don't think based on what because you're gonna make a trade because they're
gonna make a trade so it's not gonna continue well martyr's gone guys i don't know how many
times i need to say it the guy they're moving on they got they got a week you're saying that
very definitively i think i think it's i think it's over i really believe i thought shanahan

um but i want to go back to florida here yep and i want to go back to edmonton
game seven tomorrow i do want to say that i said oilers in seven
i think i had panthers in six so so i'm the only one i think on this panel
who's still in this right i had oilers in six adam had oilers in seven steve had panthers in six
yeah damn so damn damn damn now we make the the final game prediction because we got to get it
Nah.
I need to know.
What do you mean, nah?
I've been so bad at predictions these playoffs.
That doesn't matter.
Who cares?
You know who's going to win?
The referees.
Yeah.
Tomorrow night's going to be a big ref night.
Jesse.
A linesman's going to make a bad call from the other end of the ice.
He's going to fake drop the puck a lot.
He's going to be like, everybody's watching.
Watch me kick this guy in the face-off circle.
Mom and dad.
Look, mom and dad.
Fake drop of the puck, mom and dad.
Look, look.
It's me.
All right.
No, wait.
this okay let's make a prediction on this before we do a final score how many fake drops well
what's gonna happen in terms of penalties and i'm not gonna do an over under for penalties i'm gonna
give you two options because there are only two options give it to me number one both teams get
exactly one power play in the first period number two one team gets one power play in the first
period the other team gets one power play in the second period there will be no third period
penalties i think that's i think that's the most likely the second one yeah okay so you're on the
side of one in the second period one in the first yep jesse what do you got i think we get a third
period power play you are nuts you're out of your mind you know why because i was watching the steve
dangle stream i was in there for okay all right two hours and whatever and there's one point where
you said there's going to be no more penalties and then somebody on the ice took a dumb penalty
that was so egregious the ref had to call it was it stendland i think i there was uh in the third
period there's derrick ryan heinz high sticking stendland interference on dry sidle and then a
couple misconducts at the very end so there's two power plays in that third period these two teams
i mean i don't want to discredit what they've how they've gotten here they're violent these
two teams are filled with guys who take dumb penalties yes and they've done it consistently
these playoffs whether it's i'm not going to throw guys under the bus somebody on the team
somebody on these sides is going to take i think a third period penalty that's going to be so bad
the ref has to call it and they're going to hate themselves for having to call it because no ref
wants to call a third period game seven stan like a final power play so there you go okay that's my
prediction jesse do me a favor yeah can you go the the last game seven we got was 2019 blues
bruins forget the final score i don't no one cares about any of that i want to know time right
no no the uh the blue spanked him what's the last overtime game seven because we had one
it was like 19 wait overtime game seven in the final it was like in the 50s okay maybe i'm just
thinking about cup clinching overtime uh cup clinching i'm distracting good continue your
point well anyway uh yeah game seven overtime or sorry game seven stanley cup final last one was
2019 blues bruins i want to know how the penalties shook out in that game you're gonna laugh oh no
You're going to laugh.
No way.
It was just one.
Colton Pareko.
You bum.
Oh, and it was over the glass.
It was a call that they had to call.
It wasn't an infraction on another player.
Colton Pareko at 7.57 of the first period was called for an over the glass penalty,
a delay of game penalty, and he got two minutes.
and that was the only penalty they called
because no infraction on the ice took place
in the rest of the game, guys, right?
Like, nobody committed a penalty on another player.
Steve, you nailed this.
I nailed it.
Now I'm trying to think of the last one.
Wow.
What was the last?
The last game seven in the cup final before that,
I think, was 2011.
With Canucks, yeah.
Canucks and Bruins.
Yeah.
Look it up.
Let me check this.
Look it up.
You're not calling anything, Jesse.
what i will die on this hill they're not calling anything what was the last infraction on a player
in a game seven of a stanley that's a good question let's see here's the deal though i think
that these you know you go back all the way to 2011 this was less of a concern back then we hadn't
figured it out quite yet what do you mean well because back you know we really didn't talk about
oh like the refereeing in the playoffs no uh until it was like oh wow this is really bad
and and i think there was a definitive change somewhere around 2015 2016 where it really did
become about game management that to me is where it really kicked into overdrive people yelled at
their tvs for years and years and then twitter came and you could see replays and you could see
replays so that's why in 2011 i think the refs wouldn't because because one of the things that
dave jackson talks about a lot is well the refs had to be brave to make a call like that no and
and where i've seen him tweet that and it's like it's not i'm not taking shots at dave
what i'm saying is these guys legitimately are worried about something and that's something
they're worried about is i make a call and it decides the game and i wear the horns forever
sure which is your job it's your job exactly which is why it's easier yeah you know it's like those
people that can never make a decision it's like how about i just don't make a decision what if i
don't put my skates on it's the last day of school um and you guys play the fucking game and i'll put
my hand up a few times what do you want to eat i don't know what do you want you know what i just
want to starve like so i bet you i bet game 7 2011 yeah i bet there were a couple penalties
call and i bet they were legitimate because it was less of a thing back then there was less
quote-unquote at stake less social media june 15th 2011 the stanley cup final game 7 boston
one for nothing in that game we had three penalties milan lucic actually i start from the
the top second period boston's the day no char was called for interference so 1607 of the second
period so 36 minutes into the game yep first infraction third period yannick hansen was called
for interference and then at 11 34 the most recent penalty called for an infraction on another player
milan lucic was called for hooking at 11 34 of the third period game seven what was the score
when that penalty was called against the bruins because that's important uh scroll it was three
nothing it was yeah three nothing three nothing you're a little braver making that call uh because
it's three nothing adam you know what screwed it up for refs because for years and years we
yelled at our tvs what screwed it up for refs was not necessarily the dawn of social media
what screwed it up for refs was proof now we have proof the quickest most easily accessible proof
in the history of sports that's why we think they're bad the gif is uh is their worst nightmare
uh you think about when twitter switched from twitpick and y frog to having a native player
that was right on the screen so you could see the drop down video yep people were complaining
about it at the time i don't want twitter to become my youtube i remember people used to say
that and i'd be like you just wait you're gonna like the video thing and here we are liking it
Here we are.
It's it's those videos in real time.
It's the tic-tac-toe Mars that are grabbing every clip from every game and throwing them up and whatever.
That is the stuff that drives people crazy now.
And you see here's the thing.
You can see it as many times you want.
You might see that replay once if you only had access to the broadcast.
Here's them being wrong.
Here's them being wrong from the side.
And you don't even have to watch the game to go back.
Man, that's wrong.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Right straight to my phone.
there will be there will be two penalties called one in the first one in the second from from a
phone up into space and down onto my phone again here it is being wrong forever i wish i could bet
on this penalties i would throw i would throw five bucks on tomorrow night that we get a third
period penalty wow yeah that's that if i if that was an option that somebody allowed me to bet on
i throw five bucks on that game game seven leaves bruins like that's a game seven how many penalties
were there dude you want to keep playing the game no we don't gotta keep playing it but like
stanley cup final game seven this is the final boss of legal murder uh you can do whatever you
want um and there will be one i'm my final bet yeah one call in the first for one team one call
in the second for another team that's it okay so that's you're locking it in yes can i put an
asterisk no no no no no no bullshit at the end of the game where they take them both yeah that
doesn't count okay no i we i laughed at you too okay yeah yes that's a good asterisk yeah asterisk
they do some bullshit and they take them both which doesn't result in a penalty for any or
power play for anyone that doesn't count
at the end of game
six there was two misconducts
called like those we're not counting those
yeah no 100% agreed
Adam what is your final prediction on
when the penalties are doled out
in game seven penalty in the first and
it will be against the Oilers oh
you're going real specific
it'll go against the Oilers and
it'll be some dumb thing that like
Fogle or
Holloway end up getting their stick in somewhere
stupid and that's what it'll end up being that or mcleod it'll be one of those because you're
not going to call connor mcdavid you're not going to call leon bryce you're dumping and then and
then it's going to be uh and then for florida it's going to be like kulikov and it's going to be
yeah something stupid i know i think i don't i think it'll be like you're talking like infractions
it'd be like a legit like or like a you know he tapped his tried to lift his stick and tapped his
hands so it's a you know it's all what do they call that they call that like a slashing even
though when you're going up uh like interference tripping like it's weird sometimes it ends up as
a high stick yeah which is bizarre flashing hooking high stick it'll be one of those
stick infraction sticky sticky thing this tripping this is why i remember 2012 uh adam henrique was
in this series this was the last time that a team forced game six after being down three nothing
the kings and devils steve bernier of the devils hit one of the kings i don't remember who from
behind in the first period and he got five in a game and like i remember like it was early days
of twitter but like one of the arguments was like okay but they're breathing like dude this is an
elimination game in the stanley cup final you're kicking someone out five in a game in the first
period yeah are you serious that's like that fogel one where they where they called uh the
penalty on loose to read and i'm like well it is game one yeah game seven you can take a guy's head
half off oh yeah i think you'll be a okay absolutely absolutely so my prediction your
prediction i also get to play in the game uh is four total penalties i think at least one of them
comes in the third period okay all right four total penalties now are they tied two two or
or the 3-1 on this?
Oh, that's a good question.
I think it'll be 2-2.
I think they'll even it up.
Yeah, 2-2.
But I think one of these teams...
What period gets a double penalty call?
The second.
Okay.
Yeah.
So 1-2-1.
1-2-1.
I like that we're breaking this down
on this level, by the way.
I'm still going to ask you guys,
give me your prediction.
Team that wins
and the score they win it by.
Who wins the cup, guys?
It's down to the last game.
Jesse and Steve,
sticking with mine i'll go first because i'm i'm the uh the one that's actually on track with the
seven game prediction oilers i think they win and i think they win four three just like the games
they'll win four three in the series like they win four three in the game that's what i think
mm-hmm oilers three two game winner his 71st of the season scored by number 18
zach hyman oh i love that i don't the better if it's cc but okay the total goals thing is very
funny yeah i called it zach hyman yeah zach hyman having as much or more goals than matthews this
year it's funny it's funny and i'll give zach hyman the edge his goals the back half of his
goals happened at a more important time is it like playoff suspensions where goals are times two
you know yeah a one game suspension is really a two game I think if you could perform in the
playoff to me it it does matter more goals matter more so if you're if they are tied give the edge
to Hyman if this is a stat it's not but you know it's fun anyway anyway so is it Jesse give us your
prediction I picked Edmonton to start the series okay I flipped over to Florida after they went up
three nothing because I thought that was hey this thing's gonna be over any day now this is very
obvious but i will pick the result i want to see and my original pick of the edmonton oilers i
think they get it done tomorrow night and we get the greatest choke job in nhl history and the most
dramatic comeback because we're focusing on the choke but it's also the greatest comeback in nhl
history and that'll just cement mcdavid's legacy like put him in the hall of fame on tuesday if
you want i think the induction ceremony oh yeah is on tuesday right put him there build his bust
right now a thousand points next season yeah like it's gonna be unbelievable to if this thing
gets done so i'm gonna say a four one edmonton victory oh wow okay there's something i want to
spend a little bit of time on and and i'll i'll i'll give you some time to to pull this up can
you pull up the 2010 series between the bruins and flyers that would be the eastern conference
final no uh semi semi semi final uh the reason i bring this up i don't think i don't know if
panthers fans know exactly what they're up against here here's what they're up against they win the
game they win the stanley cup no one remembers this this choke no one remembers uh the cinderella
the story um it is just we won because we should have won hooray fu we are on the cup forever
here's our first ever cup we're gonna have a boat parade and you can kiss our ass i gotta hear if
what do you need if they lose with the biggest choke in nhl history i don't think they quite
understand how hard it's going to be to erase it the bruins did this and it was still lower stakes
but they did this in 2010 the bruins played against the philadelphia flyers
the bruins won game one five four in overtime game two three two game three four one they're
gonna sweep this series game four goes to overtime flyers win at 5-4 okay it's okay we'll get them
next time game five flyers win for nothing okay goes to game six flyers win 2-1 and then you see
the flyers won 4-3 in game seven jesse can you click on the game because that's not it didn't
play out where it was a dominant flyers performance so it's a cinderella story right
well first period michael rider scores for the bruins on the power play oh my goodness
four minutes later less than four minutes later luchit scores on the power play
and then we're 14 minutes into the game the bruins are up three nothing ah ah the cinderella
a story's dead except james van reams dyke scores his first of the playoffs before the end of the
first okay there's something to build on less than three minutes into the second scott hartnell
scores less than halfway through the second danny briere scores he ties it and on the power play
in the third simone gagne scores for the flyers they win in seven the bruins are humiliated
jesse i'm gonna set this up can you look up the series the next year between the flyers and the
bruins in 2011 yep so i might i don't remember what round that series was in the next year it
was in the semi-final this is what the bruins had to do to erase it this is what the bruins
had to do so that we didn't pick on them for this choke job forever forever okay the bruins
take on the philadelphia flyers in 2011 the very next year they get their shot at redemption the
bruins won their first round series in seven okay second round they take on the flyers
destroy them four game one seven three game two goes to overtime that's three two game three
destroy them 5-1 in game four any chance of a cinderella repeat destroyed them 5-1
the bruins went to three game sevens this year three the one series where they didn't was their
revenge series where they kicked the flyers heads in i'm no mathematician but they scored 20 goals
in four games versus the Flyers three, two, that's five, six, seven. They outscored them
20 to seven in four games and then won the Stanley Cup. That's why no one remembers that
choke job. That's why no one cares about that choke job. It is lost into the dusts of hockey
history that's the kind of thing the bro the panthers are gonna have to do to erase the yuck
of this if the florida panthers go 16 and 0 during next year's playoffs that's no you're still gonna
remember why like no if they went 16 and 0 you'll still be like maybe the first team to ever because
they got their butt kicked in a year before you this wow this thing is the like i don't even know
they'd still have to beat the oilers in the final yeah yeah there we go like i want to see them next
year beat the oilers do you know what kind of heinous ingredients you have to put into this
witch's brew to get rid of this evil yeah you have to win the cup next season next season and
ideally you beat the oilers to do yeah like yeah which is what the bruins did yeah you can't you
can't better find an antidote for what ailed them we're gonna win the cup and we're gonna beat the
shit out of the flyers along the route to doing it yeah yeah like the capitals like the penguins
could always held it over them yeah but you didn't go through yes we did and they beat them in
overtime and they go to the cup final and they win it oh oh not only two birds one stone we beat our
boogeyman and won the cup oh that's incredible bruins did it capitals did it florida you're
gonna have to go to three straight cup finals yeah so for your scenario where it's like okay
how do we wash them clean of this just disgusting choke job it's got to be stanley cup next year you
beat the oil it's the worst one if they lose if they lose yes they still might they might be uh
in in like 24 hours they might be the stanley cup champions oh yeah parade in florida oh yeah yep
yeah and no one cares they lose this series you know cinderella story for edmonton and whatever
and you can act happy for them if you want this is the i think the most humiliating playoff defeat
in the history of ever yep yeah ever definitely in hockey yeah like the the the example that i
used on the stream i think i was like who were the stars of the 1942 maple leafs and who was the guy
who was blamed in the papers for choking for the right by the way the red wing you know what i mean
in 1942 i did a little deep dive on this through sean mackindoe because he he pointed out in his
article that uh the 42 red wings weren't actually good they were a 500 team and then they were lucky
to be there yeah and six teams yeah it doesn't count oh seven sorry there were that was seven
who's the seventh team i think it was the rochester americans i think or something actually
yeah there was i think there were seven teams in 1942 19 i didn't know that 42 nhl season the nhl
wasn't north america's top priority in 1942 weirdly enough like oh no it was six it was
six there was down there was seven like right leading up to that sorry my bad okay yeah there's
six teams it's like some men's leagues got more teams than that yeah like it's it's not the same
here no people no this is this hasn't happened in 82 years yeah 82 years if the Oilers pull this off
Oilers pull this off I I'm wrong I'm looking at the wrong series you big idiot I am I am right
there was seven teams in 41 42 the brooklyn americans the brooklyn americans that's right
there were seven teams jesse all right um i don't think that takes away from the point that like hey
it's a completely different level to do this in 2024 as opposed to 1942 yeah the only way
if the if you're the panthers and you lose this the only way to wash the stink off is to win the
cup yeah against the oilers ideally against the oilers yeah you might have to settle for winning
the cup and then like beating them 9-1 every time you play them twice a year in the regular season
for mcdavid this is his uh lebron beating the warriors the oh yeah regular season team ever
this is his tom brady 28 to 3 comeback this is the greatest player in the sport having his legacy
moment for the rest of his career because it's a 30 for 30 no matter if mcdavid wins four more
cups throughout his career nothing's being this one no because nothing is going to be this dramatic
nothing's going to be this unbelievable comeback this could be the greatest moment of this player's
career tomorrow night that we get to witness it's an all-timer in the history of hockey it's his
golden goal like yes exactly crosby had already won the cup when he scored the golden goal but
there was an element of damn you're not gonna be able to top that no like i don't know what he
would have to do in the stanley confine i guess score like game seven overtime um but like you
won the olympic gold medal on home ice in overtime yeah that is disney movie stuff so so and that
that's what kind of makes this so compelling is that like are you are you seeing the greatest
comeback in nhl history with this one guy and by the way those amazon cameras have been following
around the whole time the whole playoff yeah lucky them so we're gonna get we're gonna get
come fall that's a quick turnaround by the way we're gonna get a crazy series with all the stars
like starting in september yeah pretty good upgrade from and then they lost
and then the leafs lost here's kyle dubas's magna board and we're gonna put players up there time
to start again all right well yeah i don't there were there were five names that uh should have
just been glued onto the board that's right because you're never going to trade them and
then the rest are magnets can we move on from the finals the last thing we need to play an old game
okay on the steve dangle podcast that we used to play a lot it's called the nhl headlines and
the nhl nhl.com took it away from us for a long time because they every every day on their their
website on their lead story they have a punny headline and for a while they didn't do it
anymore and then they started to do it again this back so i think for game seven we got to play
the nhl headline game so the little blurb underneath the headline is
oilers can join 42 maple east a second team in history to win cup after trailing 3-0 in final
what is the punny nhl headline for this article
hmm so they're referencing the oilers doing something that the leafs did 82 years ago
but i worry that that's throwing us off the scent like are they going to do something with 82 in it
Are they going to do something with 42 in it?
Are they going to go simple like McHistory, question mark?
McHistory.
Adams is simple, simple.
I think they're going simple.
Nothing too complicated here.
Think about the team that they're talking about.
The team from Alberta that's in the cup final.
You know, they got oil slick there.
Yeah, like slick comeback.
If you go along those lines, you'll get close.
this is like record-breaking history making digging for history
drilling for history ed miracle and mick miracle uh but it has to be with a question mark
albert tough road ahead no i don't know also they probably want to keep it as neutral as
possible too right but it is go no this is dumb do it raise the stakes but stakes is spelled like
meat no it's got to be people keep throwing the stakes no it's got to be edmonton oilers related
it's got to be oilers related
something about like striking oil yeah that seems like an obvious one striking oil but the l is a
seven give it to us jesse adam said it while you guys were just throwing out no back and did i say
it drilling for history oh he said drilling for history and it's not correct oh but it would
continue down that line you might have got it drilling for history and both l's are seven do
you want to keep going no no just give it to us give it to i was i was like getting nervous i was
like oh my god he's gonna do it give it to us just give it to us the nhl headline is drill of a
lifetime all right all right close thrill of a life there's no way we got that they went drill
of a lifetime and the fact that you said drilling for history i'm very impressed and you get like a
one out of b plus one out of a b plus all right yeah yeah we we gotta have a time limit on our
guessing because it goes on too long and then it gets boring so we got to make sure it's like you
got a minute give me your answer i can't wait until the oilers win and the headline is like
orange you glad we came back and won that'd be so bad yep orange you glad we won in seven
m&m writing those door hinge door yeah remember that it was it was it 60 minutes yeah i mean i'm
Sounds like you could rhyme anything.

Jake Chikrin of the Ottawa Senators seems to be a big piece of whatever the heck they're going to do next.
uh there was apparently multiple sources reported that there was something in the works between
the senators and flyers on thursday or friday last week um there's also been rumors about
lenis olmark and him being on the move and willing didn't maybe no wave is no trade so
long as it comes with an extension i can't wait for by the way a uh um the the ottawa
goaltending situation to be worth like eight to ten million dollars it's going to be awesome
dude um okay so okay go ahead no set up this no no set it up so the story i want to set it up
i want to ask you this jake chikrin good defense but not a fit in ottawa not going to stay there
long term they're going to move sure there are ottawa fans throwing out pieces like travis
connect me um or mostly him from the flyers because what else do you want like maybe
maybe maybe maybe scott lotten maybe scott lotten for that veteran presence they were
looking for 30 years old captain fell out with the coach matt vay mitchkov right no so so we're
if you're ottawa what's the best deployment of this resource and to whom obviously the flyers
do have like seven goalies none of them are good but like right you know you can always get one
yeah you got well you fedetov's already re-signed he might be good i don't know i want to ask what
do you think would you would you rather take a konyakny deal which i would take all day or a
lenis allmark deal okay so here's my problem with all the allmark rumors can we get a non-atlantic
team in on this or what um because jeff merrick what does he always say hockey should be called
goalie hockey should be called goalie all mark won the vesna two years ago and the bruins are
going to trade him to you why oh maybe he's going to go to the league well because you take you get
jake chick right out of that that's pretty good for the bruins yeah but you're giving a divisional
rival a starting goaltender that's a dumb thing to do unless and the bruins have a bit of a track
record of doing this the goalie stinks they'll give you a goalie who you think can be your
starter if they stink right they'll but you know what sure sure we'll give you a starter
yeah we'll be happy to give you our guy yeah no no he's gonna return to vesna form for you
don't ask how many playoff series he won the year that he won the vesna people listening can't see
but steve is winking after he is saying i'm not winking like that marvel character whoever she
was no i don't know you know you know the marvel character who got one over on the protagonist but
then at the end the protagonist went off and learned something about themselves and then they
came back and they were even stronger and then they won are you describing every marvel i i think
no oh i think i'm describing my favorite marvel movie hawkeye why are you taking side shots at
marvel i'm sorry i'm spider-man iron man america where have you seen this where have you seen this
before steve every marvel when we talk to you about when we talk to steve about the leafs and
the flames hooking up for a deal jesse how would you describe steve's reaction to it uh his face
looks like a tomato frege uh said uh that the the offer the leafs made to the flames was comparable
to the one that new jersey made for markstrom oh oh i didn't like that but due to politics the
leafs had to offer or so the the due to politics the flames were told to take new jersey's offer
rather than toronto's adam can you read that again no no no so you read that the lease as
slowly and clearly as you can i'm i'm paraphrasing here so apologies to frege but uh basically due
to politics the leafs uh had to have a way better offer than anyone else's to get the deal done
what did the graphic say exactly that's what it said that's that's what it said verbatim
yeah but that wasn't the direct quote but it's paraphrasing
this show's really good like no i'm serious like like if you need someone who's a student
of this hockey team and just like listen we're trying to do the rest of the league and i like
to think sometimes we make good points and i know sometimes we make bad points and you know i i kind
of relish the moments where we get caught doing uh you know having a really stupid take yeah i
relish those because guess what we have a show in a day or two where we get to make fun of it
and it's a lot of fun doesn't happen with the leafs very often you know what you know what
this quote gives me it gives me two confirm heart palpitations confirmation that's what i'm getting
No, I get I get confirmation of two things here.
Number one, Don Maloney does not like Brad for living.
Don Maloney is running the show.
It doesn't matter who doesn't like Brad for living.
Like either if it's ownership or Maloney, it doesn't matter.
Stop calling that hockey team.
It's a waste of your time.
Number two is the Leafs offer was comparable to the devil's offer, meaning they weren't willing to get stupid, which I listen.
Listen, the Leafs should be in on everyone.
And if politics are the reason that we don't get a player because Brad decided after 10
years, yeah, I don't want the person above me making the call and who the head coach
is.
I'd rather go coach in Toronto or I'd rather be GM in Toronto.
They're not interested in doing good business.
So they're only interested in making Brad Treliving look like a fool.
Well, and I'm that's it.
I'm interested as a Flames fan or for Flames fans, because it seems like that whatever
the Leafs were offering for Tanev and Zdorov ultimately may have been more than what the
Flames got from both of those deals that's what we've heard the only thing they were saying is
that they weren't willing to give up the first round pick the Leafs weren't the Leafs were not
so the trade was comparable it just wasn't a first round pick yeah and and I don't think
Calgary got one they got a second for Tanev they got a third and a fifth for Zdorov wait who are
you talking about are you talking about they weren't willing to give up a first round pick
from markstrom the least we're not giving willing to give up a first round pick for tan evans dora
ah and so my question is again but they didn't get one they didn't get one so the leafs seem
to be offering fair market value for these players that's great more than so i think it's
interesting for flames fans how they might receive news like that because if you're the flames you
need to be vicious you have children running your hockey team you have petulant children running
your hockey team um they're not interested in doing good business for the calgary flames that
will help them win they're interested in uh you know fleecing brad for living how do we screw the
leafs yeah how do we not how do we rebuild yeah every good team is out there right now going how
do we make our team better and someone in the flames front office or ownership is going how do
we make brad for living each shit hold on let me leak another story yeah like can i can i dude it's
dave like it's dave can i know it's the exact transcript from friedman give it to me just so
because we were banding around the exact words
because it was just taken from a tweet
and then tweeted out.
So this is what he said
on the Third View Thoughts podcast
from the transcript.
We know Toronto's in on the goalie market,
but I think there's more of a
Brassois-Anthony Stoller's type piece.
Now that they,
I heard their offer to Calgary
was comparable to New Jersey's,
but I think because of all the politics there,
I think Toronto was going to have to
blow anyone else out of the water
to get that player i also think markstrom at the end of the day preferred new jersey most but he
opened it up to teams like toronto and ottawa in the eastern conference but i think the maple
east were really going to have to win that deal so he said it yeah yeah no so he said
reed is being paraphrased but that's what he said in man yeah he said it yeah no so the flames are
i did listen to it oh yeah but i just okay all right i just want to make sure everybody knew
that i'm like picking it up petulant petulant children they're not interested in in uh winning
program um they're not you can't walk out because they're no longer an nhl team and these don't
these rules don't apply but i think it is worth noting that uh the alex murello team lost an
auction before it even went to auction um they had can i get up and leave so the the just from
what i understand and again i'm not going to go too deep in it because until the murellos are out
of there the nhl is not going back into business with these people we will not see hockey in phoenix
in the next half decade unless he sells the rights to bring the yeah i think the nhl is is coming
back to arizona 100 but uh they will not do business with this man again there's no shot
nobody in the arizona community seems to want to do business with this person and the city seems
to be finding every little thing so apparently there was approval on the land to do an arena
but it was a kids arena yeah it was like a youth hockey arena and then there was something else
about different tax rates based on an amusement park or not and either way they didn't have the
permits for it so the city said we're not like mirello's like we're gonna we're gonna buy the
land it's gonna happen so the city said well no you're not we're gonna cancel the auction
everything's a half measure everything's a grift everything is i this guy is not bringing hockey
to arizona he's pushing it away he's pushing it away and hockey belongs in arizona it does
this man can't do it right and i think that he will eventually if he's smart sell that right
and because i think if he has the option to well he may not have to but gary might say you know
what this is part of my legacy and this is a if you look at gary betman's legacy in his own mind
because you got to think that you know putting himself in the hall of fame it's a big deal to
him right um no the the failure of arizona comes down to him i picked this owner oh that didn't
work out i picked this owner oh that didn't work out and they moved the city i picked this owner
oh crap that owner doesn't actually have the funds we better buy the team i got to convince 29 other
owners to buy the team okay i picked uh uh this guy oh no he that didn't work out and then oh i'm
you know what, I'm going to go, this is the land developer. This guy takes distressed assets
and turns them profitable. I'm going to sell it to him. This is such a huge blight on Gary Benton.
And I think that Gary would call him Jesse. I don't think he's got the right to sell.
But I think if you're Murillo, you're like, listen, I'm a businessman. I have these rights
for five years. You want to give them up early. It's going to cost you.
I think like, what's the, if I'm Gary, I probably hate Murillo, like in my head and behind the
scenes and i even imagine so i'm probably like i don't want this guy to make any more money
maybe i'll just wait till 2031 i guess it'd be when it's like i can just give this to somebody
who's actually competent because my favorite hockey conspiracy theory is that press conference
that betman did with morello was done to make him look like a fool on purpose yeah betman like held
his tongue throughout the entire press conference so that people could see how incompetent this
gentleman i'm gonna parade don't be the clown in front of a microphone and let him say all his
nonsense right he picked him but now gary's recognized his mistake and wants every the
world to see like hey yeah this is the bat this is the reason this isn't working arizona it's not
me i picked the wrong guy and now we all know that and here's your team rhymes adam like adam's
absolutely right yeah like this is on betman but he's also i i think he's 100 recognized his
mistake i i think if uh morella was up uh abducted by aliens tomorrow yeah yeah i think if he was
and it was on the news everything and they saw it he'd be the first one um like to be like
okay how soon after is it not poor taste to be like so what do we do with the team
you know what i mean like he would very much like to not have this person involved anymore
i think he paraded him in front of the media because he knew he would make himself look like
a fool and he did and now he's made himself look like a fool again with this land auction
gary's trying to move on um and for all his well there was the mistake he made before morello
and the mistake he made before morello and the mistake he made before the mistake he made before
the mistake he made before morello and also the mistake but you see the point all right i don't
got it wayne gretzky's gonna be our head coach yeah um uh despite all of those things he's
recognized the mistake he's made here and he wants to move on from this person because this person
is going to fail with the five-year window of rights that morello has i wonder if in the
conditions of the sale and him maintaining the rights because they we publicly know that there
are certain checkpoints morello has to hit throughout these five years like things have
to be progressing so that in five years the team is ready and there's an arena what's the checkpoint
for having a building i wonder if he fails some of these checkpoints that he relinquished the
rights in those five windows i wonder if they were smart enough to put in there like hey in year one
you must do this you must have that stuff and if you fail then that five-year window collapses at
that moment and they get the team back sooner i think you're right jesse i think that's exactly
what's happening so that'd be that'd be awesome to see for the people of arizona because as long
as morello owns these rights arizona and and hockey is not gonna be successful i want to check
in with all the high-end liquor stores around gary betman's house to see if there was a purchase of
a very expensive champagne
the day that the
land auction was canceled. I don't think he's sorry about
any of this. Gary? No. No, he wants
this guy gone. He wants this guy gone. Absolutely.
Absolutely. And I
think that's the reason the land auction was so
important, Jesse. I think you may raise a good point. I don't know
what the contract is. I would love
for somebody in NHL's central office
to leak it like they leak everything else. That'd be cool.
Give it to like Sarah
Volley. He'll get it out there. Yeah.
Or Kevin Weeks. Yeah, Kevin Weeks
would be a good one. Yeah, like give it to
and it's kevin weeks and he's like all right guys i gotta look at the uh the arizona contract and
it looks like the reason morello needed to win that is because they're gonna lose the rights
here quickly or or give it to me for the right price sorry i had to do it um anyway i uh what
what currency those those that money comes in steve whatever one is in saudi arabia
do you do the version like first do you make them do it like how does that work it doesn't matter
jesse money is no object um when did this become a staple of a villain the hand wringing when did
that become a thing uh i just find he's weird i i went last night uh on a saturday off went last
night to see the movie inside out 2 it's all fun oh and there are a few recognizable voices by the
way i've seen uh inside out one is really good too you should watch it if you haven't watched it
uh but amy poehler's in it uh maya hawk's in it and somebody you should look out for if you know
voices well enough kendall kendall coin scofield is in it as well no way yeah the athletic did a
whole write-up of it but i just think it's uh it's such it's such a good movie yeah for kids
and i'm just saying for for parents out there unreal unreal really well done and the whole
damn things about hockey which is the whole point of bringing it up the whole thing is based around
uh uh the the main character riley playing hockey is that why there's a canadian flag in it and
everything too yeah is that why the movie hasn't done well the movie's done well i think the movie's
done well i thought it was a box office bus was it i don't know i was seeing lists of like
worst sequels well maybe it is i i loved it i thought it was amazing great i love the first
one maybe it's maybe i loved it even better the second time i watched it parents or the 40th time
no it's no no no i'm talking i watched it baked once it was pretty cool okay
it was pretty good all right let's uh let's get to the press conference here i think we're
are we done are we good all right we're done that's not screw the press you had questions
stuff them okay all right first question uh steve what's your best fake mitch marner trade
no stop to the calgary flames what happens when uh calgary calls up uh brad for mitch
yeah no no so uh the the flames could uh so they're taking calls on nasm cadre i've heard
oh yeah yeah so there's there's they're fielding two offers um it's cadre to the sends for jacob
chikrin and a conditional third round pick that can upgrade to a second or the ask from the leafs
is mitch marner austin matthews william nylander and their next eight first round picks and also
larry tannenbaum's uh underwear all of them oh i like that yes i didn't expect it to go on i do
want to say this before we go one last thing if florida wins yes or excuse me if florida blows
this okay let's do this okay the conditional fourth for tarasenko doesn't become a third for
the ottawa senators good the ottawa senators are cheering for the florida panthers right now
but what is what is the draft so they the terrace it's a conditional fourth that upgrades to a third
if florida wins the cup a conditional fourth that upgrades to a third so ottawa is cheering for
their 30s 30 oh that's why brady kachuk's at the games yeah yeah so florida loses ottawa loses
that's right so so we're going all cheering for if you're a leaf fan you're cheering for edmonton
You got it.
Poor Sens.
I don't know if any teams had a worse.
Well, maybe Buffalo, but Sens have had a bad run as of late.
Right.
Especially last year.
They're great in the summer.
Listen, I hope it's a close game, but zero shade.
The Panthers have to find a way to defeat Game 7 Cody Cece.
No one's found a solution yet.
There you go.
