You ever notice our authoritarian leaders force us to work at night time? Panago Pizza presents S.C.P. Cool Food Techniques The Steve Dangle Podcast with your hosts Steve Dangle and Adam Wilde You know, I learned something from, uh, from last episode.

From last episode? From last episode. Where we talked about... nothing dramatic? First off, first off... Baseball most? According to right-wing Penguins fans, I am a cuck. I was not ready for that.

I didn't read that. And according to right-wing Caps fans, you are a cuck. Oh, I'm a cuck? Yeah. Oh. No, it's actually opposite. Oh, it's the opposite. No, because I said it was dirty.

You said it was clean. Which team, which fan base says which one of us is a cuck out? Basically, okay, so Washington fans think you're a cuck. Super uncomfortable. By the way, I've been called that many times over this. I thought it was interesting that I could be cuckolded by the fact that somebody hit somebody on an ice in a different country. So someone was getting sassy in the comments.

Jesse saw this yesterday, too, of the YouTube video. And all I said was, how come people who say these things never seem to spell properly? Which, holy shit, it's true. And then they went on an I'm not mad, this is actually funny to me rant oh they weren't mad

oh I bet they weren't no they weren't mad and did I not learn anything from ESPN and this leftist libtard bullshit is

is what got a bunch of people laid off from there and no falling cables and also no everybody's

cutting their cables so they got no and also the fans made me and without them I'd be nothing

well that's true and I'm gonna fall flat which is true, except for the last part and also fuck you you're not all of the fans you're one angry one this is not, by the way, for everybody getting upset right now

this isn't a political rant, it's just hilarious that we're just using those words in everything, in every situation if you're different than me, you're a cuck I don't know, anyway I also found it interesting though if you look at the way the fallout and reaction to that hit

since I saw Paul Coffey. The league needs to look at this! Yeah, I was... As if the league wouldn't look at it. The league needs to look at this. As if player safety didn't check it out first. Yeah, right now, Bill Daly's phone is just... On his bed stand, night stand.

Oh, jeez, I missed this hit. Oh! Forgot my charger. Yep. Heavens. You know what? We'll just tell Matt Neskinen that he doesn't need a hearing. I'm not even going to look at it though

I'm just not going to look at it I'm bored, I am hungover There's no more milk I gotta go get milk for my cereal And then after that there's no time I think one thing that Caps fans, Pens fans Paul Coffey, Don Cherry Everybody who had something to say on this

Can agree upon Is that nobody really knows Nobody, like objectively speaking There is no consensus Yes, but yes But everybody knows That was the thing That was strange to me

It wasn't strange to me if you felt one way or another I felt one way Hey Steve, what if it was Austin Matthews? You'd be pissed We can get to that I wasn't confused if you felt one way or another I felt one way I could be convinced of the other way

What confused me was people who felt passionately That it was dirty Or passionately that it was clean And Crosby faked it Which was my favorite. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. Yes.

Fake that doctor's diagnosis. In the playoffs. That's a spank. He missed game four. Way to really stick to the plan there, Sid. Like, Jesus, everybody. He missed literally five and a half periods. Yeah, Ovechkin and a bunch of people talking about the Leafs series.

Ovechkin dove and faked it when Kadri hit him. Did you see the replay? His knee bent in a fucked up way. Like, his knee bent the opposite way of the knee. he was lucky enough to come back. He hyper-extended it and came back. I'm like, no, no, no. Nobody said he hyper-extended it.

Well, I thought he did. Well, you thought he did. Yeah. Did anyone say he did? I don't know. And if you hyper-extend a knee, sorry, if you hyper-extend a knee, you're not coming back.

Yeah, if it goes straight, it's one thing. If it goes just a couple degrees, the other. He didn't hyper-extend it. Extend the knee. Period. This is where all the medical students who listen to us go,

ugh. Well, I mean, it's pretty simple You hyperextend a knee, you're not coming back You're not You're not You guys have been going off on your little tangent About this whole situation Do we have breaking news?

And you're missing Has Nikita Zaitsev signed for seven more years? It was actually a 14-year-old sign Yeah, right Don Cherry gets to go at him for 14 years now He must be excited Yeah, this is what it's like to be a Chicago Blackhawks fan Let's just sign all the illegal contracts

You've been missing the one key point. What's the one key point? Hold on, hold on. You didn't give that to me in an internet headline. The one thing that nobody's talking about. That's what you have to say. This is the number seven that I won't believe. Hockey experts hate him.

Jesse knows the one thing that nobody's talking about. Should Sidney Crosby resign as the face of the NHL? Is that a question? By Mark Madden. What? Is what you're missing. Is that a block? Do you follow Mark Madden?

He has very interesting blogs. I totally believe that Jesse follows him. Jesse, that's why you and us all get along so well. You consume things to hate them. And you enjoy that they're bad. I 100% disagree with that. So would she. And you're both wrong.

You're both liars. Jesse enjoys it when people are stupid because, unlike us, we have an emotional response to stupidity, right? We have a problem with it. I get mad. Gypsy Sisters makes me upset Physically upset I get tight in the chest

And I get angry And I pound the table And I leave the room Sarah Louise She laughed her ass off Caprice loves a show called Shameless And she's currently burning through it right now And it is about

A trashy family in Chicago Who literally can't catch a break But also doesn't help their cause ever It's so well written And so well done It's amazing Written Yeah well written

It is a written show for sure And it was also a British show before this. But every time they make a dumbass decision, like there's one episode where a baby ends up ingesting cocaine because they're having a cocaine party. And it happens. No. No, I'm not.

Wait, wait, sorry. Is this a fictional program? Yes, it's a fictional program. Jesus. Adam, I don't know anymore, man. And then here's the thing. They give the main character, played by Emmy Ross, and they gave her an ankle bracelet

and she proceeds to go to another coke party and gets all coked up and then ends up in jail for 90 days and she's the main breadwinner and her dad's an alcoholic anyway. But sometimes in life that happens. So I get so upset by this show. Today I just watched the South Park episode

White Trash in Trouble. Looking at the camera saying I'm White Trash and I'm in trouble. I'm White Trash and I'm in trouble. Gotta lay off the past blue ribbon. That's why I I get physically mad And I have to get up and clean

I have to go do stuff Because I can't handle sitting through this show Because of stuff like that But Jesse and SL This is my very long belabored point Jesse and SL Or Mrs. Dangle as you guys know her They are like

At least it's not me I don't think that's how I look at it at all I don't know if that's what they get out of it It's pure sadism Is it pure sadism? A little bit. Ah, you laughed. No, no.

No, that's your fake voice. I think I'm just a reasonable person, and I can look at a situation and be like, hey. Well, I'm an emotional person. You're an idiot, and I'm not going to help you. See, I'm emotion first, reason later. Like, yeah, a great example of this was Jesse a couple episodes ago when he was like, oh, and you responded. Exactly. Yeah.

I didn't respond to the cuck ones, though. Well, the point I think I was making at some point was I didn't understand people who felt super passionately one way or the other. The NHL doesn't take head injuries seriously or something like that. Well, okay, that's a discussion I have time for. And there's some proof to that. There's some emails that might back that up. But you're sure beyond the shadow of a doubt. Could you convict Matt Niskanen in court?

That he did that on purpose No Marty McSorley wasn't convicted in court Yes You know why? Well first of all Not a hockey play When did that

When did that come into the picture? I must have missed that Not a hockey play And yeah definitely a criminal offense You could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt Marty McSorley meant to do that shit Matt Niskanen? No you can't

I don't I didn't understand anyone who felt passionately one way or the other. So I have to bring this up because this part really gets me. Okay. Don Cherry. Pens are up 3-1, by the way. Yeah, well, we'll get to the game. Don Cherry says in his kind of wrap-up of it, and naturally he's pro-Crosby.

And, I mean, I get it. I get it. But what he said was, well, these two have a history. And he was talking about he shows a clip from them jawing at each other in Dallas and Spirit. giving each other a few whacks. Which, by the way, take Crosby and insert person here. Insert defenseman here

from every team ever. They're going to have moments. Because guess what? If you're a defenseman, you're slashing, hooking, and making life miserable for Sidney Crosby. He's been the best player

in the league for 11 years. That's the way it goes. He's going to have, maybe even longer. Yeah. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. A long time, right?

You can find a highlight with Crosby. Exactly. Not hard to do. And then he's like, and then when Niskanen goes to Washington, oh boy and then they show

a clip of him and Niskanen going at it but previously ignoring the fact that for four years four years they were teammates

after the Dallas fight four years and so much so that Marc-Andre Fleury had Matt Niskanen's name on his helmet as his favorite

like one of his favorite former pens like he's got a whole bunch of them he covered it up with tape oh baby no that means

they're feuding so it's over I'm sorry I don't think Matt Niskanen hates like human there was the argument that Matt Niskanen even if he does

Matt Niskanen wants even if he does oh he would have stayed in Pittsburgh for four years just hating Sidney Crosby if he he could still hate him and I'm not convinced

I'm not convinced that it was on purpose I also think there should have been at least two penalties on that play so absolutely I agree I think

I was talking to someone about this yesterday I think the big thing that comes out of all this is a larger discussion Of what is and isn't As John Shannon put it

An acceptable stick foul Yeah What Ovechkin did Happens a thousand times A playoff game And a thousand times A regular season game Sometimes it's called

In a regular season It's never called In the playoffs A slash like that A two-handed slash Is A hockey play They accept it

Why? Why? And Jeff Merrick There was a great discussion It was on Primetime Sports John Shannon and Jeff Merrick basically just took over for bob mccowan and okay so we need to look at stick fouls and then jeff goes well now how much of the game do you want to be on special teams how many penalties are

going to get called a game is it going to be 10 aside what is it then what is it i i think that leads that's that's the bigger discussion i got from this the crosby injury is super unfortunate It sucks And we're talking about it again The big story now Is are Jay Beagle and Phil Kessel Going to play Mario Kart And which characters they would pick

I want to see that My favorite tweet is it had this menacing picture of Phil Kessel That it said under his breath I'll give you fucking Mario Kart And the Penguins won Without Sidney Crosby They're up 3-1 in the series After all of that

They didn't have LeTang for any of it And Ron Hainsey, who survived Alexander Ovechkin's vicious, intentional puck to the head, even though he was standing basically right beside him. Can I just ask, though? You're the Capitals, right? And all of this has happened. I'm miserable. Okay, yes.

Are you not coming out and putting on a better performance than they did last night? I was shocked. Even Barry Trotz was like, we didn't play our game. You can look at the press conference. He knows it. Did they play well enough to win? No It's so appropriate, I think, that the Leafs and Caps met in the first round

Because in different ways They're two extremely talented, mentally weak teams The Leafs got much better as the season went on And are very young And they're very young, of course I don't want to make excuses, but it's like, okay, well You're mentally weaker, I think, when you're young Absolutely

I have developed, I don't know, we'll call them defense mechanisms, but like I... A thicker skin. You're more of a man. And it's one of those things where like young people listening to this are going to be like, what the hell? Nice face. They're going to be like, what the hell? It's true though.

It's true. And, but then you get a little older and you go, oh, I was the guy who said what the hell all the time. Yep. Me too. Me too. Yeah. And you develop and it's...

It's kind of like, except for you, it's kind of like your first long-term relationship. Everything is super high and then it's super low and... and then you break up and you're like that was horrible yeah and then the next relationship kind of chills things out

a little bit and then the next one after that chills it out even more yeah I read a really interesting article written by a friend of mine yesterday

and she talked about being in a miserable relationship for five years but she listed all the things she learned along the way I learned this

this will never happen again I learned this blah blah blah and the way that relates to the leaves by the way so coughed up lead

after lead after lead after lead and that was still a problem as the season went on but instead of giving up a three goal lead they would have a three nothing lead and then win three two they'd still just lock it down they would have a two nothing lead and then win two one they would still lock it down now the one blip i would think in their strengthening mentally and defensively i mean we could call it tactics as well was at the end of the season even though it was five games in seven days whatever it was All they needed was

What was it? Three points Three GDMF points And they got them And they got them But oh shit They barely got them

Yeah And had they got Four or five Maybe Yeah And spread those out Over the course of the year They would have played

Ottawa or Boston But it didn't matter The situation in front of them Was they needed to win Like two games Yeah Or whatever it was One game I think

And They just squeaked it out Even the final game of the season They're up 2-0 They freaking cough it up I think that was exhaustion More than anything The Capitals

Cross to bear Whatever Is Playoff time comes And they crumble Like I was so happy with how the Leafs played against them Did the Leafs see

The best version of the Capitals? Are the regular season Capitals harder to beat than the playoff capitals? They might be. I wonder if they're easier to figure out over the course of a seven-game series. Like, I often wonder that. Like, they come out, they surprise you,

and then they're out of town, right? Like, they're gone. Well, I don't know about that either. Like, they just... I wasn't impressed. I watched them. They didn't look impressive. And I'm like, is Pittsburgh just running their show?

Like, is Pittsburgh just making them look like crap? Like, LeBron to the Raptors? Is that what I'm seeing? No, they're not the capitals right now. what's going on? What's going on? And it's the here we go again. It's what they talked about with the Leafs around midseason.

It's guys like Bozak and Kadri. You know, the younger guys who grew up as fans, they have a little bit of, oh, my God, not again. There was that great image of Mitch Marner on the bench when the Leafs had a 4-1 lead in Boston, and they coughed it up, and he's like, shit. I watched it. Now I'm in the uniform, and I'm living it.

Shit. But a guy like Bozak, a guy like Kadri, A guy like JVR just going Oh my god It's the same scenario we've seen a thousand times Ovechkin's trying to overcome it When Oshie Got that penalty late in the game against Pittsburgh

Which shouldn't have been a penalty by the way And I guess we can talk about that He did this clapping thing Where everyone was talking about How it was him getting mad at the call And he was screaming at the refs I think he was basically saying to the bench Fuck the penalty, fuck everything

We're still winning this thing He's trying to barrel through it But I think almost everyone else on the Caps is like, holy shit, we're the Capitals, and we're capitaling. We're a Washington capital zing right now, and there's nothing we can do to stop it. And if you've been on the Caps for this long, and the Corps has been together for a while, why would you think anything different? It's happening. It's happening again. It's the problems between the ears.

And it's affecting execution, and there's numbers. Of course when It's here If Pittsburgh wins this series It will be Alexander Ovechkin's fault By the way I do not believe

That sentiment But how many people Get ready How many people Are going to say that And I hate to dump On Shea Weber I'm not trying to

But You look at their Playoff resumes And they're Pretty identical How many people Are going to say that About Ovechkin

And Weber I haven't heard Shit about that I actually haven't heard Anything about Weber Not outside of the internet Nope I don't know

And you know what Caps had to win three straight To beat the Leafs Well they didn't have to But they did All they gotta do is win three straight Do it again Do it again

You're the Caps Can the Washington Capitals Win three straight games Yes we know they can That is such an easy question to answer Yes Can they do it right now I don't know

We'll see Man It's in the head man I just, I thought, man, they're going to come out strong today, and they sure didn't. They sure didn't. Edmonton. Oh, they tied it. Yeah, I wouldn't say they look like garbage.

They hit two posts in the third period on the power play. Yeah, yeah. And they got jobbed. They got jobbed on that high stick. Yeah, that was brutal. That was brutal. That's the Matt Hunwick special. That was not fair.

Get a call for a high stick that you didn't do. And Bonino. Oh, boy. It's one thing if the ref calls it, like, just, he thought it was a high sticking, it's another, like, you dove. He should be fined. Every time they find an incident like that, you should be fined. Did he die? Yes.

Again, I feel passionately about that, because here's the film, stick doesn't touch him in the face. Now, in the same position, would I do that? Probably. I'm trying to win a Stanley Cup here. But, you're fined. It was $2,500 or $5,000, whatever it is. He dove. He dove.

Bonino, Bonino, Bonino dove. I am surprised the NHL doesn't because they find Nazem Khadri randomly for it and then never follow it up on really anybody else. So it was Burroughs and Khadri that got fined or something? Something like that. I don't think I've seen a fine for it since. And they don't seem to announce them all the time. Oh, so maybe they do.

Well, they should. I think they do. I don't know. During the World Cup, I signed up for all those NHL press release emails, and I severely regret it. Dude, I get like 17 a day. It's brutal. About what? All kinds of shit.

Oh, the Vegas delete. Oh, the three stars of the nominees. Oh, the nominees for every award. Get out of my inbox. But every now and then, I'm like, oh, okay. There's been a couple fines for diving recently. Drogsado was fined recently and Kuznetsov was fined

in January there was a couple in the last few months that's it a couple if your own head coach is saying we didn't play our game we did not play well then I don't think he came out with enough

I just don't Ovechkin said I didn't play a good game that's leadership you don't have to look to me to be upset he said it He's taking the burden. Yeah, that's cool. I think that's leadership.

Yeah. I think it's Schmiederschmidt. Well, Nate Schmidt is not to blame. I think he's a clown. Well, that's because he's a clown. And needs to become a student of the game. Oh, my dear God. Edmonton has lost two games since we said, hey, Edmonton's up 2-0.

I thought they got job, too. Well, okay. Did you see the, or not the disallowed goal, the goal that was allowed? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Who in the NHL Is the Who is the reigning champion

Of getting away with shit That's a good question It's not Kadri anymore He might have been He might have held like the intercontinental title Wasn't quite ready for like the The main event But he's on the main card

Good question I don't know Brad Marchand Yes but they are sort of wise to his game They suspended him For a brutal spear That they probably didn't have a choice on So it's Corey Perry yeah he has to be the king the champion he must have he has to have been for the last 10 years

like him and burrows maybe for a while kessler for a while i like i don't know man like who can who can match that maybe here jesse i'll send this to you so you can put it in the youtube video but i want to show you the screen cap that john shannon put up well actually it's it's two parts to fully understand everything, okay? So, where was it? Pierre Lebrun. On Coach's challenge for Ducks' first goal last night, call in war room was that the incidental contact

was in the white paint, not Corey Perry initiating. No, he is in the white paint. Like, that's what's... That's the difference between a goal and not a goal. I don't... Is he, though? Is he in the white paint?

Yeah, he is. Very clearly. This one? I'm looking at the same picture. Is this the same one? It's the same picture. Yeah, he is. I'm showing you.

Holy fuck. Because look, Cam Talbot's foot is out on the white paint, and Corey Perry's foot's in front of it. His foot is on the blue paint, it's on the red paint, the contact is on the- Oh no, Steve, I'm not trying to be rude or anything. Honestly, he's on the white paint. No, no, he is. So it's a goal. Yeah.

So it's a goal. But the momentum, though, like, so, okay, if you're in the white paint at all, I can just smash you. Yeah. Like, if you're pinky toe, like, it's, how much of his foot, like, what percentage is in the white paint right now? 10? 15? So I can just drill you. Just, can I body check him? Is that okay?

Oh, I thought it was more about Corey Perry and his positioning, but I guess, yeah. I mean, listen. That's going to decide the Stanley Cup this year. You know this, right? Oh, yeah. It was like the crease goal with Brett Hall, which never should have counted. Oh, my God. I'm with Buffalo fans on that.

Should never have counted that goal. That wasn't a real thing, but they'd already started the ceremony and bringing the cup out, but we can't stop it now. The dark one that people always bring up when it comes to dirty hits is a player is going to have to die for something to change. Well, the less extreme version of that is something super dumb has to happen for a rule to be changed. The Brett Hall toe-in-the-crease goal needed to happen. That needed to happen, and Buffalo, I'm so, so sorry.

But you needed to get shafted there so we can move on from that stupid rule. To fix, I think, whatever rules we got going on now for offside and all that, it's going to have to cost someone a Stanley Cup. But they got the goal right. They did. Based on their current rules. Based on this? Yeah.

It's in the white paper. Jesus. They got it right. Jesus. Remember, these things happen split seconds and we're able to make it happen and we're able to slow it down a thousand times and look at it and look at it and tweet it and whatever. So it's different, right?

It's different. Here's a question for you. So the call on the ice was that it was a goal, right? Sure. They review it and they see that picture. Okay. And the call on the ice is no goal. Do they reverse it?

The original call is... Let's pretend the original call is no goal. Is no goal. Do they reverse it? I don't think they do. No, I think they do. I think they do. I think that's enough evidence.

Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. I feel bad for Oilers fans this morning. They're pissed off. Well, naturally. Of course. Speaking of piss.

didn't even mean to do that Ottawa Senators oh we'll do the urinal stuff later oh do you want to talk about that well it was a nice segment so Edmonton writer David Staples Edmonton writer David Staples tweeted a picture in response to

something that happened at Rogers Arena which was some of the women's rooms were converted to men's rooms because there are more men at hockey games than women the problem is women take longer in the bathroom just based on how women don't stand up to pee, guys. They don't stand up to pee.

So they need stalls. They need to go in, sit down, pull down their pants, do their business, and then pull the pants back up and come back out. All right, all right, we know how people pee. Whereas guys are like, okay, I'm going to whip it and then whip it back in. Okay.

So people were naturally upset about this. I think rightly so. I get that. And David Staples tweets out a picture of a water fountain from your high school. Not even a water fountain, a water washing, like a hand washing fountain. that you would press down

you would depress with your foot and the water would come out and there would be soap in it and he's like why don't we just get these and nobody look down at each other's peckers and then pee into it shared that tweet like he was being serious I think he was kidding I don't think David Staples was seriously

I don't think he was seriously suggesting let's just all piss in a fountain in a circle no I think he meant trough style which by the way I think the Steelers do that I think he was just kidding I don't mind that In and out man

In and out Wash your hands I get it And Jen Neal Was leading the charge On this one And a lot of Female Oilix fans

Were rightfully Dare I say Pissed off Well yeah They had to wait Half an hour in line Yeah Half an hour

Again This is not Something that's new Like I don't I don't understand Why they did this I don't get You have

Women's washrooms there they have to like your okay if you have equal number of men's and women's washrooms but you have more

men at the game women still need the equal amount of washrooms even though say it's 60, 40 or 70, 30 because of the

time taken right? There has only been one time in my life where I was like can we maybe convert a couple of these to

men's washrooms it was when I was at the UFC event that was held at Rogers Center I don't know what the ratio is at a hockey game

but holy shit it was like 90 to 10 UFC is like 95 the lineup was insane it was insane but it is what it is man

tough shit and tough shit hopefully it's not a tough shit I was at a Backstreet Boys New Kids on the Block especially in the 500s because it's one stall

I was at a Backstreet Boys New Kids on the Block concert in Calgary and they converted basically all the men's rooms to women's washrooms smart smartly

what was this? Calgary at the Saddle Dome. No, but what was the concert? New Kids and Backstreet Boys. Well? I mean, it makes sense. It was like me in a sea of women.

There are not many guys at those concerts. It's fine. There are certain events that cater to women. There are certain events that don't. Adam just stood in the line by himself. Oh, I saw you. I mean, there's no one to go to my own washroom. No, it was so funny.

They hadn't even bothered to turn on the lights in the men's room. I had to physically flick the switch. Like it was It was a Adam goes to take a dump He doesn't even close the door It was true

Like it Nobody had been in Right There weren't that many guys there There just weren't That's funny Now I saw a couple good points Brought up about this

One Coming from Sherry That I saw on Twitter Is this even legal Are they allowed to do that Oh I would think so Yeah

I guess like as long as you have There would be bylaws Like what are the legal requirements Well, they would follow those. It would be whatever it is in Edmonton, right? The legal minimum of whatever. Right. So I'm sure they had at least the minimum, I guess, which is still probably insufficient.

The other one, and this is a great point. Is this not a brand spanking new half billion dollar arena? I think it's those damn. Or whatever. Is it only half billion? That's what I read. I think it's those concourse passes. They have too many people in the building.

Yeah. They have the stadium full and then an extra 200 people standing around. that's insane I wonder too you know with regards to the whole experience of you know

seeing that happen if you're a woman like if that were Caprice I know and she's done I know this because she's done this she would just get

into the men's line with me and just go go pee in the men's room you do what you gotta do that is against bylaws

is that against bylaws well I can tell you that men men do not care and men are like sympathetic like yeah come on and who cares

Like, we don't blame you, right? It's like, if I were, and it's easy for me to say because I'm a guy, but I would have been like, F this. Because when I have to pee, I have to pee. But if you're in a lineup of, say, 30 or 40 people, which is not out of the question, one of them is going to narc on you. No. Oh, yeah. No. You just go by percentage.

Okay, if 39 of them don't care. What are they going to do, kick you out of the arena for pee? One, yeah, it is illegal, so they can. Yeah. Two, somebody's probably going to narc on you. Oh, that would go over real well in the papers the next morning in Edmonton. Are you kidding me? You would get free tickets to the next game so fast.

But you have no argument if they're following the law. Oh, no. But if you shut down women's washrooms and converted them to men's rooms, you walk right up the street to the local nearest news outlet. I swear to you. Walk right up the street, 19-tickety-two. Yeah, no. And tweet on your phone, I'm walking up the street.

I am. I'm going to write a blog on the corner selling the newspapers and the hat with the feather. Hey, boy, give me one of those. Hey, kid. Listen. Tell him to go to his boss and report this story. You can make fun of me, but the point stands. The Oilers do not want that kind of press.

How many horses do you own, Adam? Many. Many. All right. I was doing their horseshoeing this morning. Yeah. Yes. I went to my local blacksmith.

Yes. Yeah, it's so ridiculous. Ridiculous. And now what's going to happen for game five? Who's the home team? Anaheim, right? And Edmonton just lost two games at home. Anaheim lost two games at home.

Both teams lost two games at home. So game six would be Edmonton. But home ice advantage matters, guys. It matters. Well, by the percentage. Actually, I can't wait for the actually on that. By the percentages, actually. Oh, there will be so many.

So many. I can't wait for people to tell me that the Caps actually played a great game. I can't wait for that. Because I know it's coming. I know it's coming. No, a lot of people told me that, and I'm like, well. Super. They didn't play.

I guess the Pens played. If the Caps played a great game, the Pens played a greater game. Like that George Carlin thing, like people, things people say after other people die. George died, but I just saw him yesterday. Yeah. Didn't help. He's dead now. You should have stopped him from doing whatever the hell he was doing

The Caps played a great game Yeah It didn't help They lost And they should have played a great game They didn't have Crosby Question Will Alexander Ovechkin

Ever win a second round series In his entire career Wow I thought you were going to say Stanley Cup But we have Dink dink Lowered that bar Just a second round series Yeah

He's going to Think of all the The Capitals If they ever do win the cup With Ovechkin It won't necessarily be with the best team they've ever assembled This is arguably the best team they've ever assembled Last year they were on pace to break some regular season records

Until they tailed off a little In the last month They've had great teams And it is what it is Again, I've said it before, I'll say it again A wise man once said the best team in the NHL Doesn't always win the Stanley Cup So what's your answer?

Yeah, he's going to win a second round series I just don't Know when that'll be Might be Next week Do you know When I think Ovechkin will win the cup

When the Leafs make it To the Eastern Conference Final Yes When he signs with the Leafs Yeah no I think Ovechkin will win the cup With the Caps But he will not be

The star on the team anymore Who the hell Is gonna take over For Alex Ovechkin He will be the He will be The grizzled vet He'll be Jager

He'll be Dave Anderchuk Yeah Like he will not But I just... I'm here. That's great, Dave. And if I'm wrong... And by the way, can I just say,

I hope I'm wrong about that. I really genuinely do. But when I look at where the Capitals are, from this instance, this could change tomorrow. But from this instance, they're down 3-1 to the Penguins. Even if they win a game tomorrow

or whenever they play again, is it Friday? They've got to play three elimination games just to win the series. Yeah. So let's say the Penguins win. Then you've got significant turnover in the roster. and five and then you get significant roster

turnover in the summertime not only the expansion draft but you get a bunch of free agents I mean it's not like they can't attract people to DC it's an amazing city and you know you get to play with Ovi that's awesome but they're going into retoolville

they're going into losing in the first round Chicago style is that such a bad thing? not necessarily I think it takes the pressure off them and it might make them surprise people And it's Saturday, Monday, Wednesday Saturday, Monday, Wednesday Wow, that's a big break

Look at the amount of points the Caps had this season They could How many points did they get? Like they could shed like 20 points from their regular season score And still make the playoffs That's 10 wins That's a lot That's a lot of wins

They'll be fine They might even win a series or two next year Might even win the damn cup Like, I don't know I don't know Just because you need cheaper options next year doesn't necessarily mean they're worse. No, I agree. But what I was trying to say, even just turnover, chemistry takes a while to develop, too.

Yeah, sometimes. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it clicks right away. Maybe it does. You're right. Like this show. Right away. Clicked right away.

Sort of did. I disagree. It didn't click until Jesse came. You had one really weak memory. There's Jesse on the brakes. Jesse on the rusty brakes. Andrew Berkshire suggested it at sportsthen.ca Oh, shut up!

Sorry I just wanted to tell Berkshire to shut up Andrew, not the voice of Habs Nation, as I was told Implicitly Andrew, I'm not mad, it's actually funny to me Andrew, I'm not mad about the Habs, Berkshire I'm no longer a fan No, right

Okay I'm just right primarily about the Habs and primarily suggest, you know, how they could win. He did write about the Senators. He doesn't care. He said that basically in the end. It's funny to him. With the Senators series,

Senators are not apparently a great five-on-five team. Numbers sort of show that they're not necessarily the best five-on-five team. And here they are. And here they are. And he said they're walking, what he said, and I suggest you read the article because there's math in it, so I'm not even going to try. he's suggesting

that they are walking a bit of a tightrope and they've got Craig Anderson and Eric Carlson and Eric Carlson they're an

Eric Carlson injury away from not winning another game in these playoffs but they got Eric Carlson so let it ride

but he is injured well they're an out of the lineup Eric Carlson away I guess I guess what's he running at

right now 80%? With a fractured foot? Doesn't matter. That still probably makes him the best defenseman in the world. Probably. He's crazy.

You know what? It's interesting. The Sens are kind of winning games similarly to the Canadians of two years ago. I would say. Great goaltending. You got one defender,

one right-handed all-world defender running the show. Time to trade him to Nashville. Yeah. And a few guys running hot. That's it

Take it Is that not You didn't win a cup that way Is that not how LA won The first time With Jonathan Quick Well they had a lot of guys Running hot

Jeff Carter completely Changed the makeup Of that team though They went from I think 11th in the west To the 8th seed To almost winning The Stanley Cup

In a record low Number of games Like They beat the Canucks The President's Trophy Winning Canucks In 5 They murdered them

They murdered everybody Yeah It was insane You can win a cup With that team Again You don't need to be the best team In the NHL

The Sens Based on the makeup Of their team Do not have the highest chance Of winning out of the Eight teams remaining But Eight teams remaining

And you only gotta beat Three of them Is that The playoffs are stupid Where stupid happens It's a lot of fun It should be a lot of fun to watch They are up 2-1

They play tonight Imagine you're the Washington Capitals You lose to Pittsburgh in 5 And then the Sens beat them Oh god I would never cheer for the Sens But god that's too funny That would be hilarious

I don't know Also with the season Craig Anderson's had It would be nice to see him In the finals With what's going on Like that would be Just a great story

Just I I can handle Clark MacArthur Winning the cup Yeah I can't handle Dion Phaneuf In an Ottawa Senators

Uniform Raising the Stanley Cup We'd never hear the end of it Phaneuf on the Flyers Phaneuf on the Coyotes On the Shark I don't give a shit Ugh

On the Sens Jesus No You know it's gonna happen No! Now it's next. Now it's rooting against the Sens. Wow.

Right? You just ruined everything. Right? Go New York. You can't cheer for that. I saw some people, they're talking about, okay, you know what? I can get behind Carlson having success. Yeah.

Okay, I can get behind Craig Anderson having success. Kyle Turris. Kyle Turris. Hey, hey, Clark MacArthur. That's a great story. FNUF. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh, and FNUF raises it above his head. He screams. Yeah! Who's next? Who's next? Here you go, Burr. Here you go, Brett, and then he hands the Stanley Cup to Alex Burrows.

Oh, you just turned the entire city of Vancouver and the entire everywhere else against the Senators, too. I hope no one's cheering for the Senators. Yeah. Would they be the worst team to win the Stanley Cup since, like, the Hurricanes? Probably. Who's been the worst team to win the Cup in the last 10 years? That's a good question.

They've all been pretty dominant teams. Even if they weren't the most deserving team, All the teams who won were legit good And Cam Ward was Unreal that year I think it was Berkshire I was talking to I was looking at the 06 Hurricanes roster And I was like, seriously?

They won the cup? Who was the coach? Wasn't it Laviolette? I think it was Peter Laviolette Might have been And they made two huge Deadline acquisitions They got Doug Waite

and they got Mark Recchi I think and it's still looking at the roster I went I looked at the roster and went wait

okay so prior to acquiring those guys how did they make the playoffs yeah and then they won the cup I remember the feeling oh no well

that was a different year I was the first time they went they went to the Stanley Cup Final in 2002 I remember the feeling as a Leafs fan when the Leafs made it

to the third round and I was like wait their third round opponents the Hurricanes holy shit the Leafs are going to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in my life

I can't believe it Out in six Yep Wait What do you mean we got this far Without Sundin And we're getting Sundin back Stanley Cup final

Ow That hurt a lot Yeah Metal on the bone Sucks normally Cause after the Hurricanes It's Chicago LA

Pittsburgh They'd probably be the Hurricanes And Hurricanes fans For any of you who are listening And are upset You won We're not taking that away

Oh is Hurricane fan upset I think the sad part about what's going on with Ottawa's team is that nobody's there to see it too I had to get one in there I had to get one in there

Somebody tweeted about they're like I have $48 and then they sent a screen cap and an email they got and it was like Ottawa Center's

season ticket holders if you renew your season tickets we can offer you playoff tickets to this round cheapest tickets at $48

And the next one was, party pack of subs from Subway, $48. He's like, what should I get? That was my favorite part. My favorite part of that whole Ottawa situation was the people saying, well, we can't afford the tickets. When I'm like, yeah, okay. Tell me about it. And, you know, it's not even income relative to what the market could support. I understand that Toronto, like, Ottawa's a mostly government city, and that puts you in a certain pay grade.

Toronto has a far vaster, very poor end, very rich end, like, super, you know, there are super wealthy people here, en masse. And there are super, not super wealthy, probably super disadvantaged people here, en masse. It's businesses, man. True. That's who buys the tickets. But beyond that, like, it's not, when you go on to StubHub, and you look at how much the tickets actually were, oh they're aftermarket people were scalping them

they're 50 freaking dollars are you kidding me yeah but there's three foot long subs yeah if you buy coffee there's nothing worse though don't buy coffee

every day for a month yeah make your own coffee for a month that is never gonna happen make your own coffee for a month that's not gonna happen

and put it in a thermos two weeks two weeks like well how about they're a city with an NHL team and

it should just sell out during the playoffs. Don't the Coyotes sell out during the playoffs? Yeah. Yeah. They do. They have the whiteout,

don't they? They're like the 80th team that does the whiteout. Every team goes, oh, we're going to do the whiteout tonight. So are we. Cool.

The Leafs, oh, we're not going to do something hacky like the whiteout. Oh, good. The blueout. You were part of that. Don't judge.

I don't sat there for two games in your blue clothes. See, here's the hilarious part About the Coyotes whiteout Is that when a Visiting team comes Their most

Their jerseys are white Yeah So It's like It's almost like They're a Coyotes fan on TV I guess Yeah

I guess Maybe that's what it is I think it was like Vince Carter's return to Toronto And the Raptors tried to do Like a whiteout And he's like Well I appreciated

That all the fans Were wearing our colors Yeah it was Jersey had an Orangist red jersey And the entire crowd Wore red So it looked like

We were all cheering For New Jersey Because the Raptors Wore their home whites Because in the NBA You wear your whites at home so it didn't work at all. And then they beat us

in the first round of the playoffs. Yeah, and then they did that. And then they did that. Hey, just on the NBA for a second. The San Antonio-Houston series is so interesting because both games have been blowouts and by opposite teams.

Like, you never see that. And not just like, oh, we won by 20 points. It's like 35, 40, like, shit-kicked points. The first game wasn't close. No. At any point.

And then San Antonio came back and whooped the Rockets last night and it was like everyone in three and now Tony Parker's out for the series for the playoffs

that won't matter to San Antonio yeah I don't think it'll matter because he's old but still but still that sucks he's like

I'm still going on my 2004 knowledge so I'm like that's devastating that's terrible oh no who would Tim Duncan play with it's a good thing

they got Robinson and Duncan oh my god Kobe's gonna slay them Alright Does manager Ginobili Still have all his hair No Since we've successfully

Pissed off most fan bases In the NHL I would like to go further Alright I'm gonna raise A hypothetical to you gentlemen And I was thinking about this Last night because

You know It goes off of The thing that Steve Brought to the show I'm not sure who said it But find the dumbest one In the room And make the phone call

Who's the Like find the dumbest General manager It was either Dimitri It was either Dimitri Filipovich Who said it Or Travis Yost. Right.

I don't remember. Find the dumbest GM in the NHL. No, identify who the dumb GMs are and call them all the time. Those are the two steps to success. Good point. In this league. Yes. So, if there is a team or a management group representing a team,

because sometimes the team gets unfairly looped in with their management group, right? Sure. We love the Leafs. Couldn't stand the Carlisle-Nonas era, right? Sure. if there's a management group most likely to screw up

the expansion draft and I'm not talking about who they protect and who they don't oh like oh I forgot I should have protected X player

because a year later he's great you know what I mean we didn't see that in him we didn't see that potential but wow he went to Vegas got some ice time and he's great

yeah I'm not talking about that I'm talking about not knowing the actual rules of which there are many oh no Who is most likely to have something? The Vancouver Canucks.

You think Vancouver? I just thought I would cut you off. The Vancouver Canucks. The team with a track record of not actually knowing the rules. The Vancouver Canucks. An alleged track record of not knowing the rules. Right. And allegedly having the NHL send out emails to every GM going,

by the way, since dummy didn't know the rules, here are the rules, dummies. Adam, do tell. Why would you bring this up? I'm only just, I want to know, I want to know what you, so you think Vancouver, most likely. You know. I know. Now, what do you think the likelihood of something like that happening is? Do you think that we'll actually see a team, because if you think about it, the probability is pretty high.

You've got 30 NHL teams with a very complicated set of rules for this expansion draft, right? It's not easy. No, it's not. Oh, by the way, I forgot. Something is bound to go wrong. I forgot to tell you guys a story. Is this relevant, or is Steve just remembering something and then inserting it because he just remembered it?

We shall see. We shall see, but let's go with him on this journey. This is about to feel dumb. I spoke to CapFriendly on the phone. I didn't know you could talk to websites on the phone. I did. I spoke to the whole website. I didn't even dial anything.

I said, get me CapFriendly. And then the operator made me. I was smoking a cigarette. It's plugged in your cable. Oh, you're talking to Louise this morning? Yeah, Thelma. She's going, going, pulling darts out of her hair. She's using darts to keep her hair together.

Of course. Anyway. Mrs. Dart guy. Mrs. Dart guy. And I went, yeah, there's a lot of rules, and I'm not totally clear on all of them. And he goes, yeah, I know. I listen to the podcast. So I was like, oh.

Hey, listen, man. I don't feel any shame in not knowing the exact rules of every damn thing the NHL puts out. The NHL doesn't know the NHL's own rules. They can't even enforce them, so I don't feel that bad. Things are too damn complicated, okay? The reason I took Jesse's laptop from him, and actually continue because I think I interrupted you, I want to look at the Canucks expansion draft picture. I love when Steve says continue and then keeps talking.

I, too, love that. I'm glad that Steve— So, anyway. You know what other thing? Well, my whole point in bringing this forward is it's not to single out the Canucks. Just going back to what I was saying originally, 30 teams, 30 different management groups. So let's say each management group has three people and a general manager, two assistants. Let's say four because you've got to count the head coach in that.

Okay, so you have four times 30. You've got 120 people, and they all are going to know the rules off by heart? I don't think so. No. I don't think so. I think something is going to be screwed up here. So what is it and who is it? and I wonder what that is.

Now, I'm throwing that out for anybody listening to this, too. Throw it up on the Reddit page. Just come up with a random hypothesis that Phoenix Coyotes didn't know that so-and-so needed to be exposed and the NHL had to send in a memo. Whatever it is. And I said Phoenix Coyotes

for all you lovebirds out there. This is actually kind of scary for the Canucks. Like good? No, not at all. Well, because I'm used to looking at the Leafs expansion situation. Which is so happy. Oh, shit, we might lose Josh Levo or Martin Marincin. Or Seth Griffith, who we got for free.

What about Kirby Reichel? Who had half a season. Honest to goodness. Half a good season. Unless the Leafs lose their minds and don't protect Connor Carrick, the best players I could see them losing are either Josh Levo, Kirby Reichel. Seth Griffith. I think the other two have a higher ceiling than him.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe not. Okay, fine. Is there one of those three? Is it Marincin? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. If Carrick is protected, then Marincin won't be.

Which is fine. Or Marchenko. Marchenko, yeah. The Leafs are—they might not even lose a full-time NHLer. I'm looking at the Canucks. So, again, your two options are seven forwards, 3D, 1G, or eight skaters of any kind and one goalie. Well, Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, and Louis Erickson,

you have to protect them. No move clause. On defense, you got Edler, Tanev, Spiza, Goodbranson Goodbranson's up though, isn't he? He's an RFA So you could trade him You might have to If someone's an RFA and they're unprotected

They can be claimed, correct? And then looking up front Makes sense If you do the 7-3-1 thing You can only protect 4 out of the following Brandon Sutter Derek Dorsett Sven Berchi

Anton Rodin Marcus Granlund Bo Horvat Brendan Gantz Joseph Cramorosa Reid Boucher Jack Skilly Michael Zalewski

Alexander Grenier Michael Chaput Jason Magna and Borna Randulic Is that on the tool part? This is on the tool Oh okay it's on the tool

This is on the tool So all those guys have played enough games to be exposed Like goalies are weird too I assume the Canucks are going to protect Jakob Marström. Wait, what the hell?

The Canucks have three UFA goalies? What the hell are these guys going to do? Look at their team. Steve, don't worry. What the hell are they going to do? Don't worry, Steve. They're going to protect Marström. Brian Elliott will be a Canuck next year.

Five million a year. No, Steve, it says the year they're a UFA. UFA 2018, UFA 2020. Oh. That's a strange way of listing it Well you were talking to CapFriendly Maybe you can get them to fix it When the next contract expires

Like the expiry of the contract RFA 2017 RFA 2018 Oh okay So yeah you're gonna protect Marsham Yeah I don't know what the Canucks are doing dude Okay well

Who I need to go through every team I haven't done that yet Yeah I need to do that same thing I think it'll take a while You guys we should take an episode And do an expansion draft That is something I would have done in the past

And it would have been great Remember when everybody kept telling us to do that Well they did stop after we said maybe we will I don't mind doing one It's just it would No I do No no no we wouldn't do it live Just bring your list

Bring your freaking list Yeah okay Yeah no no no We're not gonna do it live We're not sitting here and doing a damn expansion draft No we're not Okay But what is gonna ultimately get in the way

Okay so we're all Gonna read What we would do for 30 teams That's too much Even if we come in prepared, that's going to be at least a full show. You just read the names off. I'd go Eric Faire and blah, blah, blah. Times 30.

It's a full show. It will not take that long. It's times 30 and then times three. It will not take that long. I guarantee it. And then we've got to dissect each one. It'll probably take that long. Well, the pre-expansion draft show should be about the expansion draft.

Should it not? No. No. No, it should be about the Leafs. Yeah. It should be about the Leafs. We should just do the Leafs 30 times? We should.

Absolutely. And how great they are. And then we should write an op-ed about Lou Lammarello and how awesome he is. Lou's news. Lou's news. What was the tweet you got the other day? It was Lou's clues? Lou's clues.

Yeah, I need to look at the things Lou Lammarello has said, and from that devise what the Leafs are going to do. Can you actually do a video? Can you actually do a video where you're... Because I know you've watched enough Lou's Clues. Have you done a Lou's Clues parody? Yes, I have. I have the shirt, and I have ears.

No, we're not in a video. Yeah. Oh, you have? yeah it was a couple years ago oh okay but now you have Iggy now we have a dog

that we can put the blue ears on yeah or I'll just die him you should do a full episode dude I look like him come on

dude you have to do that I'm a white person with brown hair therefore twinsies me Steve from Blue's Clues Mel Gibson

Russell Crowe Tom Cruise do you remember when there was that weird rumor Antonio Banderas what Did you read the weird rumor that he killed himself? Yeah, but he didn't. And then he did it, and then they snubbed him.

The guy from Blue's Clues? Yeah. Steve Burns. And then BuzzFeed did, like, an article on him because that's what they do? No, he didn't actually kill himself. He did not do that. He's fully alive. No, he's not acting.

There's this weird little stand-up comedy. I don't even know if you could call it that. A series called The Moth. And Steve Burns, the guy who played Steve from Blue's Clues, did one. And it's 17 minutes, and it's fantastic. He's funny? Go watch it. Oh, it's really funny because he's not, hey, everybody, to play as Blue's Clues, we're going to find a paw print.

No, he's not that guy. He's just, so I happen to be Steve from Blue's Clues. A while, and it was weird. I didn't mean to do it. And then a porn star sent me a letter. And yeah, it's, yeah, you got to, you got to listen to it. You got to listen to it. I'd love to.

Okay. All right. Which brings me to the Canucks are stupid. With Nikita Zaitsev signing Callie Rosen signing on the horizon Carl Grunstrom Who is on a PTO Will probably play with the Marlies if he hasn't already

I haven't seen, I haven't paid attention, I'll be honest No, I don't think so He's on a PTO Yeah, so the way that works is he needs to be on Some kind of dumb pro tryout contract So that his contract His actual contract does not kick in until next year Right, until July 1st

Yeah Yeah, which makes sense, which is the fiscal contract search. It's the lawyer legalese way of circle of life. I just want to throw it out there. What is the next move the Toronto Maple Leafs make? I mean, based on what you've seen, and you don't have to say this with any certainty, Steve, because honestly, who the hell knows?

Sure. But what do you think from the history that we've seen thus far with this management group, based on their patterns, what is the next thing? I look at the holes on the team. and I look at the surplus, which is wingers, which we've addressed a thousand times. Lou, not very cryptically, said,

we're going to look at the young defensemen on the Marlies and give them a chance, one in particular. The one in particular, which I was amazed he would say that and then not actually say the name, has to be Travis Dermott. I think it has to be. So if you look at the different positions on the Marlies, or sorry on the Leafs Riley Zaitsev

that'll be a pairing probably we'll say Gardner Carrick for semantics sake who am I missing they might lose Marincin might lose Marchenko we don't know we don't know

let's say they lose Marincin I'm looking Polak or UFAs and I would want to know I'm looking Polak or UFAs I would want to know how bad Polak's injury was before I go resigning him probably pretty bad

so Dermott potentially gets the You wouldn't get the 7th D Because you would want him developing So you might give him Hunwick's spot Has he a left D? Right D

He's a left-hander I think he plays the left side But I know on the Marlies They do play their off-hand sometimes Andrew Campbell did that too To me, the position that seems wide open Is A righty who can maybe fill

Either The bottom pairing, right side Or the second pairing right side And Carrick goes down I thought they were going to try To keep Gardner and Zaitsev together Oh that's right Because that's how they ended the season

You're right So maybe they do that You find a partner for Riley Although Riley looks He looked pretty comfortable On the right side He played some of his best hockey On the right side

So those are the weird Little decisions they have to make I see them making one addition On the back end Everyone seems to think Over the course of the summer? Yeah like everyone seems to think Well, okay, by one addition, I mean, starting roster, no injuries, there will be one different guy.

And then there might be, the spare might be a new guy, too. Do you think Hunwick comes back? I'd offer him a cheapish deal and see if he accepts it. Polak, eh. Eh. I'm not offering him anything close to what he made. No. Well, but okay, so do you think the next move they make,

and I'm talking about you could do anything, right? It could be somebody from the KHL. It could be between now and the expansion draft, because that's the first draft, right? Yes. What happens? Is it radio silence? No.

Do you think there's some movement? Is there a trade? You look at college free agents. You look at European free agents. You negotiate with Zach Hyman You negotiate with Connor Brown Trying to think of the other restricted free agents They might have

You gauge Garrett Sparks Because he's a restricted free agent too They might make a move The expansion draft Just seems like a really good opportunity To take advantage of an unfortunate Situation

You're the best prepared team In the entire league Maybe You're one of the top five prepared teams in the entire league So let's pretend The Leafs make a trade Where they get a really Nice player from a team

Really nice defenseman And unfortunately that shafts them Out of a forward protection spot Still You get to protect Brendan Leipzig and then you still Only lose one of You expose three guys but you only

lose one of or not even three guys it's more than that you still only lose one of fair martin griffith um levo and reichel you still only lose one of them plus you've got someone else so that that is the one thing i would look for um maybe get another defenseman no but then if you get another defenseman you're gonna have to protect that guy and expose Connor Carrick what if you can get a guy you don't have

to expose which to me points to more European free agents European Russian but why would a team trade a guy who you can't expose

yeah I don't know yeah I really don't know and this is the this is the great mystery of the Toronto Maple Leafs they don't release

any friggin information so the one the one little nugget I was able to take from Lou is Travis Dermott might make the team

that's it which to me means they need a right-handed guy on D that's it which we already sort of assumed right right yeah that's it okay it's boring but well hey it's good to know and you know what I don't find I guess because I'm so close to it and I don't know how everybody feels and I know definitely fans of other teams that listen to this show probably don't feel this way but everything they do I'm like who's Miro Altonen tell me about him tell me about Callie Rosen tell me about who are these guys how's Renat

Valiev looking like it's you want to know you want to know and thankfully there are blogs that can help you with that yeah man there's a lot of hockey to watch dude there is

yeah and it's nice to it's actually fun watching the Marlies now like it's really fun and it's a little unfortunate because like interest really tailed off because they didn't

have Nylander anymore like Jesus Kapanen and Leipzig were healthy scratches at times on the Marlies last year It's insane But now we got this interesting log jam And we talked about it last show

And we're getting back into the habit Again, I'm looking at their wingers There's not enough Who graduates from the Marlies? Who graduates? Anyone? The answer might be no one Unless you're looking at

Opening up Unless you're protecting something else Like you make a deal and you expose a Leo Komarov, which by the way, I would hate. I don't think they do it. No, unless you move JVR and there's a wing spot. I've seen both put forward, but with the numbers I've seen with Leo Komarov,

especially advanced stuff, he's like a top 10 defensive forward in the league. He's really good. He's one of the better penalty killers. Tyler Dello posted a really interesting thing about I don't know, some kind of I don't remember exactly what it was. Basically shot prevention on the penalty kill.

And there's a reason they had Leo Komarov who is not a full-time center. as a penalty kill center. Because they're like, well, he's that good. So, screw it. I want to see more Kadri on the PK, but I don't know.

We'll see. Okay, so, something we want to mention, too. Uh-oh. And for all of our faults, for all the good and the bad, we are lucky enough to have 10,000 followers now

on the Steve Dangle podcast YouTube channel. Subscribers, that is. Steve, you got 60,000 on yours. Your personal. Who's counting? But, I think that's pretty cool For a channel that's a year old

Like not even I mean when did we start I think it was Well no It's a little over a year old It's older than a year Yeah It's older than a year

But like we didn't start Regularly posting Until like what October No no We've been gone Since February Oh really

Yeah 2016 Sorry Yeah But I Jesse's like I've been going Since

Jesse's been working it And I just want to say First off Thank you It means a lot It's really cool To go in and read the comments Most of the time

And All of the time time there's always going to be some yeah exactly um but i it got me thinking guys okay so we're 10 000 do you know that at 100 000 we get a youtube a silver youtube plaque that has a little play button on it did you know that i want it bad i want it too i want two steve's gonna get one we we have to get one so here i'm still a ways away it's gonna take a while to get there like okay i think this past month i've gained more subscribers than i've ever gained i'd have to go in and fact check that, and I still

got $3,500. If I went up by $3,500 a month, it would still take me like a year. Yeah. Your pay is outstanding. Oh, no, it'd be more than a year. It'd be a long time. Easily. Well, because it's, I mean, it's probably, it's not, that's not going to sustain throughout the summer. No, right.

One thing I'm going to try is make more videos in the summer. I really enjoy disappearing. Well, no, I don't. The thing is, is that don't water down your content, right? Yeah. Make the videos, make videos while there's things to talk about. Yeah. Maybe make more videos while there's things to talk about. We're at the point in the season, like, I might write an article

just about Ben Smith today. I don't know. Should I? Yeah, why not? Even when I pitched it, I'm like, Ben Smith? I might do it. Okay, so, my question is, guys, obviously we need to boost our subscriber count.

No! We need to boost our numbers. What YouTube-y things can we do to boost our subscribers? Subscriber base. I was thinking prank videos We hire a bunch of people Look here Barry Trunks You no good bum

I want you That's what we need to do What other bad YouTube trends can we copy To get a million subscribers Cause there's a lot of bad YouTube channels out there With a million subscribers We need to shove Like a fist full of gauze up each nostril

Cause so many of the video game guys Talk like this Oh, do they sound like 80s radio guys? Make sure you smash that like button. Yeah, always tell people they can't just subscribe. Smash that like button. Smash the subscribe button. There's a few people I've seen that do like spikes.

Yes, I've seen that too. All right, everybody get together and like. Just imagine. Who's participating in that going, oh, yeah! They wouldn't do it if it didn't work. It does work. 100%. But I just think, like, if you're a person that participates in this,

remember, one day you're going to have to explain this to your children. Oh, the thumbnail of each podcast, we need to be bleeding. Yes. Can you, like, Photoshop some blood, like, for the next one? Sure. I think our biggest problem is we don't have goofy, weird-looking faces in every thumbnail. Like, every YouTube video, it's, like, us sitting at the desk. Where it's like, yeah, it's always Steve doing it to the camera.

I like Phil DeFranco. I like watching his show. What the fuck are his thumbnails? What are you doing? Like, he is the world's sorest neck. He's trying to look thoughtful 365 days a year. It's hard. It's hard to do.

And he just puts up, like, this exasperated look, and there's two Photoshop pictures of someone beside him who's befuddling him that day. And they're in circle bubbles. Yeah. And he's like, ooh. He's talking to the circle bubble. I like the vast majority of the stuff.

honestly it's hilarious I hate it it's hilarious the uh no it's hilarious what happens when you talk about those like video games

streaming channels and stuff like that which are awesome I love them but it is primarily what I watch did you know that Adam is a

battlefieldian oh yeah that's what they call us Adam's a headset and everything they call us battle battle

no battlefrontians sorry hello front and the guy from Star Wars HQ which is a channel that I follow that does

I sit there in the Kiss 9825 Studios and have to listen to Adam watch his fellow Battlefrontians on YouTube talk about some tutorial of some math that he wants to learn. That Star Wars game

is my nightmare, by the way, because you can only play it online. Oh, yeah. And I'm good now. I'm actually good now. The title on the box should be Video Game Steve Will Not Like. I'm the guy who plays the campaign. Every game I play the campaign. Someone

was like Halo Reach sucked except for the campaign I'm like that's why I liked it I love the campaign I don't play online I cannot how do you of all people have enough time to get good at a video game that isn't NHL are you getting fairly good at it?

I'm not surprised there are some people that are like it's cool to hear that you play enough you will I'm jealous I've invested more than 150 hours do you know how much That's a lot.

More I would play video games if I was any good. Well, you start out and you suck. Like, I used to get, I used to go into a match. It's like anything. I used to go to a match. I'm not training for this thing like it's CrossFit. I used to go into a match. Without any of the health benefits.

And get, like, and just get shredded. Like, I'm talking, and I started in the smaller matches. I didn't do the, because there are 40-person matches and there are 8-person matches. So, I started in the 8-person match. So, my KD ratio wouldn't be that bad. But I'd still lose. I'd have, like, Kill death.

Kill death. So, I'd get, like, crap dinner yeah my crap dinner ratio I'd kill three people I'm so hungry I would get 20 deaths like it would be bad

but if I went into the bigger matches it would be like 40 deaths now I'm on to I'm at a point where like you hit combat master at 25 kills

I'm hitting 25 30 most of the time so you're in the 40 person matches now yeah oh yeah and winning nice but I've got also

a group of guys that I play with that constantly like they're also very good we've all sort of progressed together And they're getting So usually it's like

One, two, three, four On the board Nice So we're those assholes That show up at your game And wreck it And it's really But then there's guys

I love that Yeah, it's fun But then there's guys That are Completely different life Where he's just like Bitch Me

Oh, your mom Your damn cock I'm gonna shoot you Hey, 14 year old No It's not like Call of Duty You can't talk to people Go do your homework

Little You can't You can't talk to other people. You can only talk to your friends. So that's the best part about it, is that you don't get some 14-year-old kid talking shit. Appropriate trash talk is what makes it fun. But it's never appropriate, so you can't do it.

They took that away. In NHL, too, you can only talk to your teammates. Guess what? Every time, there was still a fight. Every time there was a fight. Oh, yeah. No, not like a fight, like an argument. Have you argued with people online?

Yeah. No, it's not every time there's an argument. Every time Steve argues with someone is what happens. I can understand, having played on your team before. I bet the argument was, are you going to pass today? Hey, why am I so good in the offensive zone? Just taking the puck around. Stop cycling the puck, Carrick!

Sometimes, first of all, he's a right-handed defenseman, And so I like to carry the puck a little bit when I get that. Second of all, my teammates knew how to score a goal. Yeah, go ahead and try that net front one-timer again. Maybe it'll work this time. It's like 40% work ratio. That is both wrong and slanderous. By the way, it used to be 100%.

Net front one-timers were the way to score. Now you have to actually do skillful things, which is bullshit. That's crap. No it's Honestly If you become Good at something Then it becomes

Even more addictive You just have to get through A couple bad weeks Of being just Shredded That's why Like absolutely shredded I just

I couldn't handle What was it EASHL No not EASHL What's the one With all the cards Isn't that Isn't that

Ultimate Oh hot Yeah hockey ultimate Well cause people Just pay money right Yeah which I Never would Well here's the thing

So I got all the way up to level 3 Hold on you wouldn't pay money for that But you paid money for Clash of Clans? No I paid Oh yeah I did You pay money for real cards? Not anymore No

I just I have too many I just have too many Of those Tim Hortons baths Well and here's the problem So I used Shut up I used to

I used to be addicted to the hobby When I had no money Now here's the problem I have some money Which means I'm gonna spend it I have a buddy who He invested He has four Sidney Crosby Young Gun rookie cards.

Those are $400 each. Each. This past year, he got McDavids. Plural. He must have a few Matthews. Like, do you know what money I would spend under the illusion that I was ever going to sell these things? Yeah, because you never sell them.

I sold an Ovechkin Young Guns. It's one of the biggest regrets of my life. Such a terrible decision. Well, you should have waited until he retired and made it in the Hall of Fame. I sold it during his sophomore season. Oh! I sold it when he was a rookie. I needed the money.

I needed the money. I made $45, which at the time was a shitload of money to me. And now I'm like, oh my God, $45. What are they, like probably $200 now or something? Fuck. You should just buy it back. You'll still make money. I don't know where it is.

It's gone now. It's gone. It's gone forever. It's just dead. I do have another one I think I have a Cadry Young Guns With the jersey in it Is that worth anything?

Well it's It can't be a Cadry Young Guns With the jersey in it Like is it Like is it a rookie card With like a piece of Rookie jersey in it Yeah I think so

Show me a picture Show me a picture With the back too I'll bring it in Yeah okay I don't want to hurt it though Anyway As a

Do you have a soft And hard sleeve To put it in I only have The soft sleeve Take a picture Leave it in your house As the

As a Battlefrontian I wanted to get back to that What I find interesting About the video game channels Is those guys are doing All the things In radio They told us not to do

Smash that like button Coming at you Through your headphones Like Have you ever heard A radio DJ saying Coming at you Coming through your headphones

Coming through your speakers We're not supposed to Because it sounds cheesy And it's dumb 103 days of subber But That's what Yeah

Yeah That's what you do Right And it's funny that It works. That it's, well, no, I think it works for now. I think eventually people will get tired of it, and it will seem disingenuous. I'm tired of it right away.

Yeah. There are so many channels where, like, they do cool shit, so I watch them, but I mute it. Yeah. Like, I want to watch someone do the Iron Man mod on GTA 5 and just fuck shit up for an hour and a half. I will watch that passingly, or passively, but I cannot listen to you. I can't listen to this guy. You know what I've also noticed as I've gotten older? There was a point in my video gaming career

Let's talk more about what the kids are doing these days Well no You know what I don't get I would get like 5 or 6 video games over the course of a year At least That's a lot Now I know I'm going to invest in 2 this year That's it

That's the way to do it I think It'll be Battlefront 2 And it'll be Red Dead Redemption 2 That's it That's who's getting my money Another problem I'm having cause I'll walk into EB games every now and then

and I'm like I'm gonna get a new video game something I've never tried before but everything is on like the 4th or 5th game of the franchise it doesn't matter with like Far Cry

or something like that you should do Far Cry Far Cry is amazing yeah cause that's different every time every time Battlefield is different but there's so many of those

where it's like hey do I have to play the first one Destiny I don't wanna start off on Destiny cause the story continues have you played

the Uncharted games no but I know I would say go back to Uncharted 1 and play it if you wanna play Uncharted 4 See, that sucks.

I want a Seinfeld game. I don't want a Game of Thrones game. Do you know what I mean? A South Park prior to the past two seasons game. Yeah. Yeah, you want to be able to jump in and jump out. Far Cry is perfect because it's fun, you blow things up, hilarious, and not that deep. I can get into that.

Especially if you don't like playing online. No. Like, Destiny is supposed to be this wicked game, but they're already on at least the second one, right? Red Dead Redemption is coming on to the second one. There was one that was just released, and it was supposed to be, like, this great epic follow-up to a really great game, and they just blew it. Oh, I heard it sucked. Yeah. What are we talking about?

I forget what it is. It's, like, a space game. Did it start with a B? No, I don't remember. I don't know. Anyway, you're supposed to go through space and, like, colonize planets, and I'm like, wow, this sounds really cool. And I guess it's just really, really bad. Is it StarCraft Ghost?

No. No, but it's bad. Did you guys ever play Minecraft? No. I've heard that's amazing. No. all my you know what I do know

every single one of Caprice's niece and nephews plays Minecraft I would get sick of a game all day all day like there's no winning right no

no it's just building yeah I would get sick of I would have loved that as a kid because I was intimidated by the competition because all the kids I knew had video game systems and I didn't

so I wasn't very good so I would have wanted to just like build something and like do my own thing which I think it's creative you couldn't do I don't know

well like my thing with Pokemon Go was you know It was nostalgia, and it was cool, and it was active, and I would go out. And after a while, I'm like, okay, now what? Well, yeah, because it's not a deep game. You don't win anything, and it's impossible to hold a gym. And the rules didn't make sense.

I spent zero seconds of my entire life playing Pokemon Go, and I can't be more happy. You shouldn't regret it. No, I don't regret that. I said I can't be more happy. It's a two-week game. Maybe a month. That I spent like $30 on. Oh yeah, that's right

Because there's nothing in Oshawa I would come downtown I would walk everywhere downtown Because I'm just like I would run out of room in my backpack for potions It was the best I think we're a hockey podcast We talk about things that relate to people who watch hockey

We haven't mentioned that the Preds are up 3-1 We haven't I think the Preds are going to win this series And the Stanley Cup Go out on a limb there, Adam No, but like I think they're gonna win it next game Fair

I don't God, the Ducks look good They did I don't know, man And Getzlaff has been a monster For like a couple months now I don't know They didn't look good

In the first two games No But I just wonder If the Preds Who have been able to contain everybody Can finally contain him And then the rest of the Ducks too I don't know

We never talked about that One McDavid goal Where They lost But Oh it was sick Like I mean McDavid scored six

Sick goals Yeah I just want to highlight that fact Yeah but they lost It was a very video game goal Like just goodbye And snipe That was it

It was nice That's all I want to say It was nice in it's simplicity Like it was It's almost It was a little bit like that Crosby play Against Spezza

a few years ago, where he just skates one way, skates the other way, skates one way, skates the other way, just to eventually burn Spezza. Like, there wasn't a whole lot to that other than he just outskated the guy. Yeah. Like, it was just— But it's so impressive because you shouldn't be able to outskate a guy who's also the 1% of the 1% of skaters in the world. Yeah, exactly.

It was one move, and that's it, really. He hit the brakes, and he took a shot. And what I learned from that was he's a sick skater. With a wicked shot. That's all it is. It's beauty and simplicity. It reminded me of the Matthews goal when he got the puck off the boards and how he lacrossed it up over Holpe's shoulder.

Oh, but that was easy, Jesse. Yeah. It was really super easy. How simple he made it look. No, I'm kidding. But he puts the puck on like a 65 degree, 70 degree angle. And he carried it halfway up his stick and then kind of shoveled it over his shoulder. Yeah, beauty and simplicity.

I used to think you had to dangle the jock off of everybody. No, Crosby, he puts on a lot of moves and he works really freaking hard. He's one of the most skilled players in the league, but he works really freaking hard. McDavid just seems so effortless. So effortless. I'm not trying to say McDavid's better. He might be.

You're just trying to say he's lazy. Holy shit, is he going to ruin the league? And he's lazy, yes. Yeah, very lazy. Connor McDavid's lazy. Let's do the press conference, shall we? We got some time, so we can let these questions breathe a little bit. Not that much time.

Do we want to go through the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft? Yes, next show. Next show. But the next show's Tuesday! Next show. It's also going to be half ruined for you guys, because it's all in your mentions. Oh, we won't look at them. I don't believe that.

I won't. I'll ignore them. But they're there, so if you scroll through Twitter, you're going to see them. I will not see them. Be cool Everybody be cool They're there No Jesse

We don't have No We're doing that next episode We need a chunk We have a surprisingly High success rate Yeah And we just say be cool

Be cool man Be cool Don't ruin it Even the Liberty Village page One guy posted One guy We know who you are man But it's four days

Till the next episode No Cause I'm gonna be here Till 2.30 Wait for it to be done Wait for it to be done It's gonna take two hours To get home again

Yeah I disagree That was not a fun drive last time That sucked. That's great, Steve. That really appeals to our audience. Your drive home, we really care. You know how many of them are in their car right now?

I, too, know what not having a fun drive home is like. Yeah! Thanks, Steve. Tell me about your math teacher in grade 11. Well, Mr. Amani, he was a very good teacher. I heard he had a lot of degrees, and he'd like to talk about Pink Floyd when you got all your work done.

Jesse? if a Canadian team wins the cup do you think they're going to go to the White House no it's been so long

that I don't know what procedure is there no I don't think they would yeah because why would they why would like the sailing cup

is not necessarily an American thing it's just that an American team can I throw this out there when a Canadian team does win and that question

comes up and they have to go to 24 Sussex which is our White House but it's not a White House it's just this like ugly old cottage we well better that they go to Parliament because our where we our Prime Minister

isn't even living at the at 24 Sussex right now because they have to put 10 million dollars in renovations into it because because it is so bad like it's embarrassing on the inside what kind of shape that place was in there was still asbestos

asbestos on it and like And so like, it is, it was brutal, brutal, brutal bad. And so Trudeau gets in and he's like, okay, fine. I guess we got to put 10 million bucks into it. And everybody fleeks out and it was like, well, he can't even move in with his kids because it's not safe. Like it's, like it's, can you imagine, I just imagine going to the White House. Can you imagine somebody saying, sorry, you can't visit the White House.

It's unsafe because we still have asbestos. Like that's how, that's the difference between Canada and America. Americans are like, we don't like taxes, but we're going to take care of that house. That's an important house. Canadians are like, no, eh? We don't need that. That's a waste of money. That's a waste of money.

Which I mean, a little bit. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, so if they wouldn't do it at Sussex, it would be at Parliament because Sussex is bad. But it's true. When was the last time a Canadian team won one of the major North American sports that we share with the States? Montreal? It would probably be Montreal.

What did the Blue Jays do? Why would the Blue Jays have gone to the White House? They wouldn't make sense to go to the White House. But it's the great American pastime, and they're the champions. They didn't go, by the way. Oh, they didn't go? Yeah, they weren't. Oh, okay, good.

So we have a record of this. Did they go to Parliament or Sussex? Bill Clinton didn't. No, I don't believe it was tradition until like 1995 for sports teams. Can I just be honest? I think it's a pretty bad. It would have never, we don't, so there's no precedent. We don't know.

Yeah, we don't know. Wow. Most of the time, it's pretty bad, too. What? Like, except for President Obama saying, Phil Kessel's a Stanley Cup champion, which is amazing. It's pretty boring. George W. Bush going in there, Captain Steve Yazerman.

Oh, that was Bill Clinton, I think. Pretty sure it was Clinton. I feel like we've had this debate before. It was Clinton. And I feel like I was wrong. Only because I remember it. It was Clinton. Interesting.

I find that I'm picturing his voice there's so many of these traditions it's like okay we can stop now like who cares well it always just turns into a thing

yeah that's like oh and then I'm gonna politically abstain from going and fine whatever Tim Thomas protesting Obama a bunch of guys

in the Patriots protesting Trump I don't know it's just a picture I think it's nice for them that's about it yeah I just don't know

why people care I don't think they do no I don't think they do next question Jesse um i was just looking up some of the stuff on teams going to the white house used to be an old tradition baseball in 1965 the brooklyn atlantics won the uh baseball championship at the time and they went to the baseball championship at the time Because this is 1865

Oh my gosh And the MLB didn't exist So I don't know what to call it And Pittsburgh Steelers visited in 1980 And in 1991 The NBA started going And then yeah So it's been a tradition for a little bit

I wonder if the Raptors would go Nope We won't have to find out Listen they have not played You want to talk about fragile mentality And LeBron is that good Make no mistake Did you see him spin the ball in front of Ibaka

And then shoot a three? That was so disrespectful Ibaka's a good defender This is my thing A lot of people were ranting about how bad the Raptors were Are you sure? Or was it just LeBron? It's just, not even the Cavs, LeBron

And yeah, the thing is We're saying the Raptors are bad and they're in the second round Which the Leafs haven't gotten to since we were in grade 10 He did stuff in that game that the Simpsons version of the Globetrotters did to the Simpsons version of the Generals. That's insane. He had a beer. But also, the Raptors sort of should have walked all over the Bucs and didn't. That's fair.

And that's where my worry comes from. I think they had they had a weird year there are going to be some changes in Raptorland this year I think I don't know

Lowry's a UFA I think Lowry's gone and I don't I wonder about Dwayne Casey yeah oh man didn't he just win

like coach of the year or something no a couple years a couple years ago I like watching the games but like I don't pay that much attention

this is the most upvoted comments on our reddit page for this week Steve when you eventually get another dog nope

how about you name it something that acknowledges the dog days of the Leafs past and your friend Adam's French roots. How about you name it Luke Shen? Shen as in C-H-I-E-N.

Wait, what? Luke Shen. Like C-H-I-E-N. Shen. I like that. It's very creative. Which is French for dog. I also believe it's French for bitch, though. Is it? I think so. They taught us that in school and didn't tell us that? Well, why would they tell us that?

Like, no, because it literally means dog but also so does bitch. So, I don't know. Uh, I would want to know if I'm being taught a swear word, okay? If, I don't know, Crosby seems to make the most sense, or Sid, or something. Well, I can't name it Sid. Crosby. You're going to name your dog Crosby?

Why don't you get a- Because it's Iggy and Crosby. The whole reason Iggy is named Iggy is because of the Golden Goal. Why don't you get a Boston Terrier and name it Austin Terrier? Um. Austin Terrier! No! Yes.

Yes, the answer is yes. Austin Terrier. Austin Terrier. No No I don't think you could just name it Crosby That's 87

You need the Dempsters Dempsters get over here You didn't name Iggy again Cole Harbor I'll name it Cole Name it Matt Cook Matt

Oh I gotta pick up Matt Cook shit again Matt Cook just vomited all over the kitchen Oh, friggin' Matt Cook Matt Cook, stop humping Bindi Oh, he headshotted that other dog at the dog park Wow, he bit his That dog's Achilles tendon, it's crazy

Matt Cook, flippers down Oh Sense fans, you get that one? Honey, you're not going to believe this Our dog is being investigated by Eugene Malek Can't believe this Uh, I don't know I'll pick a name when we decide to get a second dog

Which we won't so shut up By Christmas Is my goal Not my goal my bet She's playing friggin mind games with me okay Because every time I bring up the second dog She's like we're not getting a second dog And then she'll tell me oh my god I found this 10 week old

Golden doodle at Whitby and it needs a home What happens first Adam has a baby or Steve gets a second dog The answer is Adam has two babies Steve gets a second dog Three babies I'm not a question Are you?

I am Oh wow It's going to be really cool When your four babies Come over to play With the second dog I am not going to have Four babies

Four babies I haven't fully unpacked My condo yet I don't know how I can have kids I'm going to sneak Fertility drugs Into everything

Caprice drinks And you guys are going to Have four babies At once It's going to be Like the Simpsons That sounds awful Four babies

Hello and welcome To my nightmare Our problems are solved We have banana bread That would be terrible That's gonna be you I'm gonna bring you Banana bread to help

I'm gonna be I'm gonna be a big help Adam here's banana bread Thanks man And a Pepsi And a Pepsi Um okay so This weekend

We've got some pretty big games Is there a protest going on At your apartment Yes me For babies Right now Um We got Ottawa

And Ottawa and New York New York with a chance To tie it Ottawa with a chance To get the 3-1 Stranglehold By next week though Um

We could have I'm pretty sure the series could be wrapped up most of these series could be wrapped up by next week yeah by

I want to say Thursday so by my question Tuesday next week are we talking about the third round if everybody eliminates this if everybody that has

the advantage eliminates I think we are talking about the third round my friends some game I think some series could potentially be at seven games

which by the way we have not seen a seven game series in these playoffs have you heard Nate Diaz on Ariel Helwani's podcast. No, I heard he went off on Conor McGregor, though. I haven't heard any of it.

Okay, well. I don't know if you've heard it, so I don't know if I should listen to it. It's great that you guys are having this conversation on this show. I have no idea. I definitely thought. Thanks for the context. I definitely thought what was coming next was because he said. No, it was just a question. Well, I guess we'll listen to it. As friends without our UFC

hater friend Adam there. You guys don't like Star Wars? It's not that I don't hate UFC. Rogue One is the best Star Wars. I heard Adam say he hates UFC I've never said that Adam is wrong and Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie and if you

Is Rogue One the new one? Yeah it's very very good The new one is episode 7 A New Hope? Was it? No not A New Hope that's the fourth one Force Awakens? No Rogue One is newer than Force Awakens Not in this chronology

But it was just released this past Christmas Oh okay well anyway Rogue One is the best one Welcome to Steve's memory. Which one? I remember Rogue One being the best one. You saw Rogue One five months ago. Not even that. We watched it together in Quebec.

Or no, you might have been gone by then. We watched Rogue One. It had steak. It was great. Are the new ones being released after all the other ones yet? Like, are they past? What, The Force Awakens and The Chronology? They went 1, 2, 3.

No, they went 4, 5, 6. 4, 5, 6, and then 1, 2, 3. Are we at 7 yet? Yes. Force Awakens is 7. Rogue One is 3.5. Yeah. Yeah, okay.

I thought they were still doing like 3.5 and 4.5. So they did a 7. They're doing some one-offs. Yeah, Force Awakens is 7. Like what? When was Force Awakens? That was the one that was the first new one of the new, like two years ago. And then when does 8 come out?

8 comes out this year. This December. This one that's coming. So it's not a 5.5. No. And then the Han Solo with Donald Glover, I believe, is 2018. and then the number 9 will come out in 2019

now is that a point anything or is it just a spin off that is just a origin story like you know how they do X-Men like the Wolverine

yeah and they're gonna do that with Yoda they're gonna do that with Obi well no Obi-Wan's sort of very meh

but they're gonna do a few of them goofy stuff where there's gonna be nods to certain things while the nerds go oh this is actually 2.2

oh this is before this one shut up He says this Steve says this As though he's not the biggest nerd That he knows You collect hockey cards

I am a cool guy Steve's job is to sit on YouTube And talk about hockey Sometimes I stand on YouTube And he calls people nerds I was telling Jesse I'm like I'm going to start a channel Are you making fun of my YouTubes?

I'm going to start a channel called Adam Sucks at Video Games Because I do suck I'm terrible Not when you're a Battlefrontian Except for Battlefront-ing I'm basically just going to try a new video game And suck at it online And then just watch people make fun of me

Video and Arcade Top 10 Is that what that is? Do you not remember that? I remember that game But those kids were I used to love hate that show Because it was a show about video games And all I wanted to do was watch it

And then what you would do Is watch four people Fumble around with a game That you had no idea how to play yeah it's the worst when you know you have that game

and you play it and if you were just there jump there there's a whistle no shit how many seconds in are we

six are you good at smash brothers I'm a good button smasher so yeah that's all I did I was okay

at smash brothers yeah I was the game the version I played the most was the game cube one. Yes. The GameCube

one is bananas. Oh yeah, it was awesome. It's always Yoshi. It's the only reason to get GameCube is that version of it. It was so much fun. Couldn't you get like 16 in a match or something? Oh, I don't know. There was like 32 characters. I thought it was 4.

No, but there was ones where you could do like a crazy rumble. Like Sims or something like that. They'd come in and they'd be really, really good. We did one there was like Sims that would come in, I think. And I believe that I thought there was more than four

I think you're right and then at a time in your match yeah yeah for multiplayer you can only have four because I vividly remember

sucking and my friend who owned it also got beaten by one of the sims and we watched the rest of the match not playing it because the sims were

duking it out but it was fun it was fun of course I want to play that game so bad right now I don't think I doubt a Gamecube

costs very much so I'm sure you can get one don't you have Smash Brothers no I thought we played it at your party oh I have Smash Brothers for N64

yeah I've got a working oh my god I've got all the good games for N64 everything including Star Fox which is the greatest

I was about to ask another question but we gotta what's the question eventually what is it I was gonna say did any of you ever
