    "That was just a bad loss for Detroit…But here's the reality now, boys: Four and O or you're dead." — Dan Powers (09:56)

• Flyers’ Surprising Surge:

  • The Flyers are on a heater, led by scrappy play; Travis Konecny, Zegras, and Mitchkoff carrying the offense.

  "Best team in the league right now. It’s a thing of beauty." — Dan Powers (14:14)

• Sabres, Jets, and Others:

  • Sabres “want it so bad” and Jets are finally healthy—a reminder 'heli' (Hellebuyck) is a difference-maker.

Playoff Run Likelihoods: Contenders, Spoilers, and Frauds (29:00–47:00)

• Honest, Player-centric Takes:

  • Teams with elite goaltending (e.g., Islanders with Sorokin, Jets with Hellebuyck) given credit as dark horses.

Transcript

[Dan Powers]

Welcome to the Empty Netters podcast.

[Evan]

Can you believe what this has become? There was a full 48 hours where I felt like I was like literally Superman.

[Dan Powers]

Jumbo loves playing Fortnite. So does he. Gets on the sticks. Did TR show you the saunacycle or was that all you did?

[Evan]

No, I invented that. Almost a year now that I haven't taken a body check. That's kind of nice.

[Dan Powers]

So we are back. We are horned up and we are going deep.

[Chris Powers]

Finished tonight with some chicken fingers and a few Guinnesses.

[Dan Powers]

Ran into you guys. And that's where this pod came to life. Ice is ready. And we are back. Back with another episode of the Empty Netters podcast brought to you by BetMGM. I'm your host, Dan Powers, on the sticks. You might love his Canadian tuxedo, but you'd be blown away by his Canadian underpants.

[Chris Powers]

Dr. Watkins, I'm not showing you my underpants.

[Dan Powers]

They are denim.

[Chris Powers]

I know you're hitting. They're denim and boy, they are hot.

[Dan Powers]

Little rough, I'd imagine. Yeah, on the old squeaker. And over here to my left, he's currently being peer pressured by me into getting a haircut.

[Evan]

Chris Powers, as always. And I mean that as always. I live in a constant state of being able to get a haircut.

[Dan Powers]

You know when it's. When you just get it cut, it's fantastic.

[Evan]

You got. Yeah. You like it for the day it was cut? No, no, no, you go, great.

[Dan Powers]

You got it at least.

[Evan]

You go like this.

[Dan Powers]

You got at least four months of where I'm like, this looks great. Take a little bit off. You know what? You know this last one, I give you a ton of compliments.

[Evan]

Yeah, and you did give me ton of compliments. I said this last episode, but you. It entered a new stage of good. And you said, oh, yeah, it's great again.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

But are you going to grow it out for the playoffs to playoff. Playoff hair. Playoff beard.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

You even put that idea in his head. Sorry, can't talk about hair any longer. We got a great episode to get into. We've got fun stuff, wild card updates. We've got playoff surprises frozen. Four coming up in like one day. By the time you're listening to this, we're playing, baby. We've got some not ice. The professors are back, so let's jump on in. Are we starting with a wild card update or breaking news?

[Chris Powers]

Ooh.

[Dan Powers]

James Hagan signs his entry level contract. The Boston Bruins.

[Evan]

God, dude, it's about time. And listen, I have.

[Dan Powers]

I'm going to be honest, I don't like that take.

[Evan]

About time.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Oh, dude, I needed him here weeks ago. The second BC didn't even make the fucking tournament. I needed Higgins getting NHL minutes, but

[Dan Powers]

Boston was on a heater.

[Evan]

Doesn't matter. You want to get hotter, you bring the hottest prospect in the world onto the team. Boom. Now you're scorching. Wow. Here's the thing. I am not. I am. My expectations for this kid are so high. Justifiably so. I'm not in the business of rushing him into anything. I don't mean that to happen. And if the Bruins brass thought it was best to just slow roll it a little bit, then so be it. Yeah, but, man, am I fired up now.

[Dan Powers]

I mean, I'm fired up, I think. You know, we saw him tuck that beautiful power play goal, and I believe it was his debut, maybe his second game. The P. Bruins. But James Higgins, he had a hell of a year with bc. He's a phenomenal player. He's a Massachusetts boy. He was playing in bc. Now he's playing for the Bruins. This is. This. This is the shot of adrenaline straight into the. That a team needs going into the playoffs.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Dan Powers]

And it's like, listen, the race is still on, but you love it. Three games left, The Bruins are four points clear. Ottawa has a game in hand, but the Bruins look great. They've got a great winning percentage. Sway's been awesome. You know, it's like they got two OT losses in a row, but still.

[Evan]

Points, points, points, points, points.

[Dan Powers]

You put Hagan's in the lineup, you think he's gonna wear number 10, Messi on ice.

[Evan]

Oh, my God. Dude, he does. He can't even see the puck, he's so smooth with it. So maybe he is already the best puck handler on the Boston Bruins.

[Dan Powers]

Highest draft pick for the Boston Bruins since 2011.

[Evan]

Wow.

[Dan Powers]

And that was Tyler Sagan, I believe.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah, yeah, right. Because Sigs, it was. What was the run? It was like, Kessel Saigs. Wasn't there one other super high pick?

[Dan Powers]

Well, we had Joe in, what, 90?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

I don't know.

[Evan]

Dougie. I think I'm thinking of Doug.

[Dan Powers]

You might be thinking of Doug.

[Evan]

Yeah, because that was high, right?

[Dan Powers]

Chucky was high. Chucky was, I think, 14th overall.

[Evan]

He was also high. But what was Dougie?

[Dan Powers]

Dougie must have been like.

[Evan]

Please hold.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, find that out, because this.

[Evan]

I think this is the one.

[Dan Powers]

I think Dougie was higher than Charlie.

[Evan]

Oh, for sure.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Ninth.

[Dan Powers]

Ninth. Yeah.

[Evan]

Which is in as quite as high as I thought.

[Dan Powers]

But I remember being like, so when was he. Because he was definitely after 6.

[Evan]

20. 2011.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. But Hagen's higher than him, obviously. Yep. Yeah, that's seven. That's unbelievable. Yeah. Because Saigs was what, 2010.

[Evan]

2010.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Two Saigs. 2010. Then Dougie was the year after. Pretty good picks.

[Evan]

So, I mean, we went. We went like, Kessel, Sigs, Dougie.

[Dan Powers]

And I was like, we.

[Evan]

We're doing it. And then like, none of them play for the Bruins.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Well, this is huge. Great pick. You love to see it. I think he's going to pop that number 10 sweater on right away.

[Evan]

That would be awesome. Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

We saw Tanner Jeanneau wear number 10 in LA, and then he wears 84 with Boston. You wonder if he saw that pick and was like, Higgins is probably gonna want that 10. I'll take 85.

[Evan]

I love that take. He's. He's ahead of the curve.

[Dan Powers]

Well, I. I think it was a big mistake by him. He should have made Higgins burn his entry level contract on a Rolex right away.

[Evan]

Get him, dude. And thank you, dude. People should have been rushing for 10. Like, I'll take that. Thank you so much. Did you choose 10? It's an automatic watch. Choose 10. Automatic watch.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, God. It would have been such a smart move. But that is good. Listen, talk about vibes. Talk about a good little shot of energy for the Boston Bruins heading into the playoffs here. That's fantastic. Fantastic. All right, let's jump on into hot. More hot ice and get into the wild card race. Every episode now we're doing it because every single day it gets more kooky.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

Drunkest wild card race we have ever seen. Like we said last episode, we are already in playoffs, folks. We are in playoffs. So fucking enjoy it. Every game matters.

[Evan]

Truly.

[Dan Powers]

CP start us off with the Monday slate.

[Evan]

Monday Sabres beat the bolts, 4:2.

[Dan Powers]

Love to see it from the Sabres. Like I said, they want that one.

[Evan]

And they made the comments. We're going for home ice. We're pushing for home ice.

[Dan Powers]

They want it.

[Evan]

The jets beat the spunk. 6 2.

[Dan Powers]

I gotta stop talking about the Jets.

[Evan]

Yes, and you do.

[Dan Powers]

Listen, I'm sick of it. Yep, as you should be. And I officially apologize, too. I've been talking shit going just, will you guys go away? Dude, they've got five games left. Yeah, and they're at 80 points, two game winning streak.

[Evan]

And they should have been this good all year. That's my point. This team is scary. If they're chasing you because you go, wait you're actually good, dude. People forget we are middling.

[Dan Powers]

That heli was hurt. Yep, that was a huge factor. They had lost ehlers. They were getting used to playing without ehlers. Now all of a sudden they're getting used to it. All of a sudden maybe this is the team. This is the mid season team from last year.

[Evan]

And can you imagine, the league is

[Dan Powers]

fucked if they get in.

[Evan]

Can you imagine if they get in with no pressure as a wild card. Two instead of the fucking President's trophy.

[Dan Powers]

Colorado wants nothing to do with that.

[Evan]

I'm kidding, dude. The abs catching hell of abs.

[Dan Powers]

Absolutely nothing.

[Evan]

Heli fucking paddles Nate to death again.

[Dan Powers]

And then he goes, absolutely nothing to do with that.

[Evan]

Yeah, that would be incredible. Sharks beat the Hawks 3 2.

[Dan Powers]

Love it. Sharkey staying alive. And again, everyone needs to remember how many games the Sharks have left.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

Some of These teams have three games left. The Sharkies have six. That's huge.

[Evan]

Kings beat the Preds 32 in a shootout.

[Dan Powers]

One of the most necessary wins ever. Adrian Kempe. Fucking beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

[Evan]

So stressful going to shootouts in these games where I'm like, you need. I mean, I guess you got the point at least, but holy shit. Tuesday, the Sens beat the Bolts six two. And I fucking said last week, if the Sens have wins against the Sabres, I think they lost to the Wild, but then they beat the Stars or something and then they beat the Bolts. It's hard for me right now to not go. They deserve it.

[Dan Powers]

The Sens control their destiny.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

The Sens are in playoffs. They've been hearing the shit talk. They've been hearing the Brady talk. I've said it. I'm part of the problem. Yep, they've been hearing it. And they're fucking battling. Two in a row. They're looking great.

[Evan]

The Jackets beat the wings 4:3 in a shootout.

[Dan Powers]

This was just yesterday.

[Evan]

Yes, it was Tuesday. I was at.

[Dan Powers]

At our golf club.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

I was having a great round. Yeah. And this for me, watching Larks and Warrenski duke it out.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

As a hockey fan, it was porn. It was pure porn. A lot of people shit talking. Oh, Larkin's not getting enough points. 5v5. Well, he got a goal on a power play and then an assist. 5v5. So that's your boy stepping up.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

But then, good God, friend of the program, Adama Fantilly.

[Evan]

That was nasty.

[Dan Powers]

Ties it up. I'm gonna be honest. Gibber's gotta have that one.

[Evan]

Well, it was an incredible pass for Winski because he has To. He has to front that Rowinski clapper and then he fucking one touches it.

[Dan Powers]

Even if.

[Evan]

Even if he dusted that off. Even if he dusted that off. Yeah, Gibber would have been there, I believe, but just the wind up. One touch right in the wheelhouse and then Fance fires it. It's like, you know, I think he's

[Dan Powers]

gonna save the upshot.

[Evan]

It's just tough. Those are just reactions. Those are luck, honestly. Fair, complete luck. You're just flying over as fast as you can.

[Chris Powers]

The wings are definitely done, right?

[Dan Powers]

No, absolutely not.

[Chris Powers]

You don't think they're done?

[Dan Powers]

Absolutely not. I said they had five games left. They needed to go four and one. That's not even. That's not even one. That's.

[Evan]

Oh, and one.

[Dan Powers]

That was a huge point. And when you. Frankly, when you look at it, they are only one point back from Columbus.

[Evan]

So.

[Dan Powers]

Monumental win from Columbus to snap their losing streak.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

And in a gritty way. And the fact that we're. He comes down and fucking wires that. That puck. Top corner was. And the shootout was unbelievable. But listen, not good from Detroit. Certainly not good. Giving up the lead with a polled goalie like you just.

[Evan]

Who has. Who's on that draw? I didn't see. I don't know.

[Dan Powers]

I don't know either.

[Evan]

It's like, fuck. And dude, in NHL people are running faces, but you're just like, God, you want to get.

[Dan Powers]

That was just a. That was a bad loss for Detro. But either way, you have two feral animals in a cage. Like I said, last step, fighting for points. You managed to squeak one out there. That's good. But here's the reality now, boys. Four no or you're dead.

[Evan]

And man, the four no or you're dead. Sure you saw that.

[Chris Powers]

Easy.

[Evan]

Yeah, it's easy against fucking everyone. Who wants it so bad.

[Dan Powers]

You got to wonder, same people. When was the last time Detroit won four in a row this season?

[Evan]

Great question. Probably not very often.

[Chris Powers]

Probably before the Olympic break.

[Evan]

Yeah. You saw that Kaner interview where he was the one that took that penalty late against the Wild. Yeah, he just had some felt in my career.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. And also, I gotta be honest, pretty good. Pretty good career if that's the worst you've ever felt.

[Evan]

Really. But that's the other thing, dude.

[Dan Powers]

You just.

[Evan]

You lose these games here, this Columbus one and the Wild one with seconds left, minutes left, you know, it's just such a fucking bag. But before we move on, you mentioned it, but I just want to say, dude, Zach Wirensky, he's the best of us coming down. He's the best of us making that pass. And then coming down on that shootout was so disgusting. It's hilarious, dude, because I saw real quick. Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

From January 3rd to January 12th, the Red Wings won four in a row. They beat. Or excuse me, January 5th, they beat Ottawa 5 3, Van 5 1, Habs 4 nothing. And then Keynes 43 in overtime.

[Evan]

What a run.

[Dan Powers]

That was four wins in a row.

[Evan]

So we need that back, boys, so

[Dan Powers]

we know we can do it. And it was this year.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Wasn't even that long ago.

[Evan]

So, anyway, Warrenski dude comes down on that, and you were watching at the golf club, which was fun. And I had been. I had just been there, and I put something. I think I saw that the Blue Jackets won it. So I pull up the NHL app, I hit the play video on Marinsky, and I see him come in. He's left shot. I see him come in from the right side. You know, you go to the corner there of the zone, and then he's coming in that way. And Sandra's watching over my shoulder. She has no idea what's going to happen. I don't know what's going to happen, but I know what I expect to happen. We both know he scores, but I'm like, okay. I've seen left shots come from this angle a million times. It's either that, you know, go quick, low blocker. You shoot back across your body. Maybe you shoot one low, you know, whatever. There's just like a million things I thought was happening. And when he absolutely fucking wired that high stick, I was like, oh, my God.

[Dan Powers]

I audibly.

[Evan]

Yeah. So I react that way. And then I pull up our story and I see you and you go, oh. I was like, oh, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

That's.

[Evan]

That was the only reaction to what Zach Barentsky has just done. And, dude, I have been. I have said many times, if Boosh finishes with, you know, mid 90 points, then people might look past the turnovers and give him the Norris.

[Dan Powers]

That Warunsky is the Norris one. That. It's not even close.

[Evan]

Watching that end of regulation and shootout, I'm like, he's the trophy. Yeah, give him the fucking trophy.

[Dan Powers]

I've got good news for Detroit fans. Go. They did it again in October. Dude, start the year.

[Evan]

Wow.

[Dan Powers]

Beat the Leafs six, three, Leafs three, two. Cats four one, Bolts two, one and ot. And then the Oilers four, two, five in a row.

[Evan]

Okay, watch this. They did in October, right? November, December, January.

[Dan Powers]

Yep. Did it in January.

[Evan]

February, March, April, Same Gap. Same gap.

[Dan Powers]

Same gap, boys.

[Evan]

Same gap. This is easy. This is easy money.

[Dan Powers]

Gonna be the easiest thing.

[Evan]

We're actually on schedule for street.

[Dan Powers]

We're on.

[Chris Powers]

I just had to recharge their battery. It takes.

[Dan Powers]

This is. Everything is cyclical, right? Yeah, we're. This is. It's all a simulations revolution. Revolutions. Revolutions. It's all a simulation being scripted. This is just. You're sticking to the script here, Detroit. You go, four plus wins in a row. Couple of months off. Four plus wins in a row. Couple of months off.

[Evan]

Bang.

[Dan Powers]

Here we go. Enjoy it, Revolutions. Enjoy it.

[Evan]

Okay. The Flyers beat the Devils 5 1. Flyers team in the league. 5 1.

[Dan Powers]

Correction. The Flyers are the best team.

[Evan]

The best team in the league. Beat the second best team in the league, the Flyers. They.

[Dan Powers]

Dude, the talk bump we thought was going to come much sooner. Yep. But it's coming now.

[Evan]

It's coming now.

[Dan Powers]

We've got a late bump.

[Evan]

Late bump, late night bumps.

[Dan Powers]

This team.

[Evan]

Late night bumps. I do not recommend.

[Dan Powers]

This team now has 92 points. They've won three in a row. They're seven and three in their last 10. They're the best team in the league. Yep.

[Evan]

The fuck. It's. It's incredible. It's a thing of beauty.

[Dan Powers]

They. They beat. They beat the wheels.

[Evan]

Oh, my God.

[Dan Powers]

Beat the wheels off them.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

It's unbelievable.

[Evan]

Dude, they're relentless. The Devils look good early. And I was like, oh, here we go. And then it was. Then it was relentless. Philly. Relentless. Philly.

[Dan Powers]

This is also. Are you getting. This isn't. This isn't like the old bully days of Philly.

[Evan]

No, dude, we got Zegras and Mitchkoff.

[Dan Powers]

But I will tell you what, I'm getting like scrapper vibes from this team. And they're also snapping around the wealth. They've got six guys with 43 points or more. Like we're seeing big jump.

[Evan]

What's their leading scorer point total?

[Dan Powers]

Travis Konnachne with 66 points. Z right behind him with 65.

[Evan]

God, Z has. How many tucks does he have? I just saw he got up to like 20, 25.

[Dan Powers]

But this is also what I love. Connect me. 27. Z 25. Tip at 28. Like they got, you know, Vorax right Behind them with 17. MitchKoff with 17. Kates with 17.

[Evan]

What's Mitch Coff at point wise?

[Dan Powers]

45.

[Evan]

How many games?

[Dan Powers]

77.

[Evan]

Sophomore slump. Comes for everybody.

[Dan Powers]

A little bit of lesser year than people thought.

[Evan]

Comes for everybody. Comes for everybody.

[Dan Powers]

But TK leading the charge as always.

[Evan]

He's incredible. He's a top seven player in the league.

[Dan Powers]

He's unbelievable. But this team don't want to play them. I don't want to play them.

[Evan]

That's correct. And they have the. They are not that rough and tumble, but that as a unit. They are scrappy. They're scrappy, dude.

[Dan Powers]

They're totally scrappy.

[Chris Powers]

I'm very horny at the idea of a Penguins Flyers first round.

[Dan Powers]

Penguins Flyers. Round one will feed families in the Rust Belt.

[Evan]

Wow. That is exactly what it is right now.

[Dan Powers]

Sure is.

[Evan]

Think about that wild card.

[Chris Powers]

I'm incredibly excited if it happens.

[Evan]

I have some buddies I got to text about that.

[Dan Powers]

I mean, that's going to feed fam.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

So it's incredible.

[Evan]

God, remember that. You're my age. Remember that. It must have been like 2013.

[Dan Powers]

Couple old heads, a couple uncs.

[Evan]

Couples like that.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, that. I hated that series.

[Evan]

It was fucking chaos.

[Dan Powers]

Dude.

[Evan]

That was epic.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, that was. That was rough. As a Penguins fan.

[Evan]

Oh. And I wasn't. I was gonna say as a neutral. I certainly wasn't because I was rooting for Crosby, but it was still like, as a Crosby leaning neutral in that series, I was like, this is awesome.

[Chris Powers]

We were at Barney's Beanery and there was a bunch of Flyers fans getting in our face, and all you can say is, how many cups do you have? Yeah, you keep saying that because that was. That was all we could rest our laurels on. But we got our asses whooped.

[Evan]

God, that was crazy.

[Dan Powers]

You two uncs done talking about World War II?

[Evan]

No, no, no, no.

[Dan Powers]

Reminiscing about the old days.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Watching Leave it to Beaver on a black and white tv.

[Evan]

You old heads.

[Dan Powers]

What's a rev.

[Evan]

Is this from.

[Dan Powers]

What's a rerun? Back to the Future.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, back. And you know who said that was the fucking kid from Wonder Years.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

You know that kid?

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

That's awesome.

[Chris Powers]

I don't know his name, but yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Who cares?

[Evan]

Okay. The Bruins lost to the cane 6, 5 in overtime. An incredible hockey game. Incredible hockey game.

[Dan Powers]

Very, very exciting. Also good. Important point for the Bruins.

[Evan]

The Canes had gone, like, 19 games. Seven. 18 games without a goal. Yeah. Pulling his hair out.

[Dan Powers]

40 watches back on Patty Bang. You know what I really, really like about the Canes is they. They've had a lot of wins here as we've been going through, and, like, going this. Every time someone loses the Canes, we're like, tough matchup. Canes are good. Canes are 7 and 3 in their last 10 like, the canes look sick, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they go. Canes. Canes have very quietly more points than the stars.

[Evan]

Dude, I saw it the other day. I was like, fucking Dallas and Minnesota are fucking Frost.

[Dan Powers]

Getting just double wristed.

[Evan]

Oh, my God. Those three teams are the best teams in the world.

[Dan Powers]

I'm like this, dude.

[Evan]

The Blue, the fucking Bolts, Sabers and Cabs all have the same amount of. They're like two points behind them.

[Dan Powers]

Dud. The Canes are, I believe, one of two teams in the league with Colorado with 50 wins and they're only one behind. Colorado has 51. Yeah, that's the Canes. Maybe I should shut the fuck up. Maybe this is how they want it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Evan]

Be quiet.

[Dan Powers]

But I'm going to be real. I think this is the best Canes team we've seen in six years because they have goaltending. They have bussy in that.

[Evan]

They have goal tending.

[Dan Powers]

They also have ers on fire.

[Evan]

And they have ers and how's slaving? Is he fine?

[Dan Powers]

Dude, he's right where they want them.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, but don't you think if the Senators face them, that's going to be a tougher matchup?

[Dan Powers]

Absolutely not. You know, tougher matchup than who?

[Chris Powers]

I don't know. I'm just saying, like, it seems like they might. That might be a surprise, I think.

[Dan Powers]

Well, first of all, the Canes are.

[Evan]

They're.

[Dan Powers]

They're the ones.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

So they'll play too. Listen, the sense seems great and fun, but I think the Canes absolutely work them.

[Evan]

I think the Canes are not stressing at all all about anyone in the world.

[Dan Powers]

There's other than the Islanders.

[Evan]

Okay. I fuck with that. God, the Islanders.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. What's going on with that, huh?

[Dan Powers]

They're okay. They're okay, right With Detroit.

[Evan]

Okay. The Wild beat the Spunk. Five two. The spunker out.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Spunk are dead.

[Evan]

Spunkless. We have dried up.

[Dan Powers]

The spunk have lost their seed. They are dry. They're. They're. They're blowing loads of dust.

[Evan]

Yeah. We have days. The spunk have had. They're. They've been. They've been snipped. The spunk has been.

[Dan Powers]

Spunk have been snipped.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

Well, there's still.

[Evan]

Nope.

[Dan Powers]

You can get snipped and stuff still comes out. Spunk of dried up. Yeah.

[Evan]

Okay. Okay. The Knights beat the Canucks 21 and dude, the Canucks had nine shots with a minute 40 left in the game. And then they got a power play which they got two shots and did not score and still lost 2. 1. But they had nine shots with a minute 40 left in the game. Dude. Literally. What is happening?

[Dan Powers]

It's unbelievable.

[Evan]

Nine shots.

[Dan Powers]

It's unbelievable.

[Evan]

The fans. The poor fans, dude.

[Dan Powers]

Do you know what that. You know what their goal diff is? No. Dash 95 couple. They got five games left.

[Evan]

Can you look up what's the worst

[Dan Powers]

they could go to minus 100.

[Evan]

What's the worst gold if in NHL history? What do you think it is?

[Dan Powers]

125. Okay. The.

[Evan]

In 1974. 75. Which isn't that long ago. Like that's. That's reasonable.

[Dan Powers]

It's like 50 years.

[Chris Powers]

I remember that.

[Dan Powers]

Look how he said like 50 years.

[Evan]

How was this team? Do you remember this?

[Dan Powers]

Do you guys remember being in the stands bouncing a kid on your knee

[Evan]

like Bobby or hockey. So it's not like horrible hockey. The worst gold if was set in the 1974-75 season by the Washington Capitals. It was their inaugural season.

[Dan Powers]

Okay.

[Evan]

They finished with a record of 8, 67 and 5.

[Dan Powers]

Holy. That is.

[Evan]

And they were a dash 265. Whoa.

[Chris Powers]

What the fuck were they.

[Dan Powers]

Do you think they were paying fans to go to games?

[Evan]

Allowed 446 goals and scored 181.

[Dan Powers]

Holy shit.

[Evan]

Oh, and Bill Mickelson on that team has the single season personal record for worst plus minus ever at minus 82. That.

[Dan Powers]

That poor guy was taking shrapnel. Bill.

[Evan]

The 74. 75 capitals also hold the record for lowest point percentage in a season at 131.

[Dan Powers]

Jesus.

[Evan]

Tough year for the Caps.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Bad year for the Cappies.

[Chris Powers]

Hey, not a good start for that.

[Evan]

Don't worry. The mammoth beat the Oilers 6, 5 in overtime. Also an insane.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, my God. That game was horny as fuck. The Mammoth are so back. The Mammoth are so back. But the Oilers are sitting pretty. They're tied with the tiebreaker, which is kind of shocking with Vegas.

[Evan]

I've got some. I've got some info for you that. Okay. And that was actually an important point by the. Like, the fact that the Oilers got the tie there. Even was big because Vegas won.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, yeah.

[Evan]

And then the Preds beat the Ducks 5 Nothing. Massive necessary win for the Preds and a bad, bad loss for the Ducks.

[Dan Powers]

The Duckies are. They need us so badly.

[Evan]

Yep. So here's what's worth noting for the people at home in the east standings update. The Atlantic currently is Tampa, Buffalo, Montreal. All have played 78 games. All have 102 points. That's amazing. The first tiebreaker is regulation wins. Okay, it's not head to head anything. The first tiebreaker is regulation wins. Tampa has 39. Buffalo also has 39 and Montreal has 32, which is why they're third. The next tiebreaker is regulation plus OT wins. So it cuts out shootouts.

[Chris Powers]

Got it.

[Evan]

Tampa has 44, Buffalo has 42. Hence why Tampa is currently in first. But a single regulation win can swing that. And they are all tied in points. So that is going to be fucking insane. The remaining east playoffs. And I'm going to give you some of the regulation wins. So you know the Penguins are in second. 78 played, 96 points. Pens are in.

[Dan Powers]

Dude, Pens have been in. Pens are in. Pens have been in.

[Evan]

In third place, the Philadelphia Flyers. 78 played, 92 points.

[Dan Powers]

Unbelievable.

[Evan]

The Bruins are currently Wild Card 1, 79 played, 96 points.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Evan]

So only have three games left. The Sens are currently Wild Card 2. 78 played, 92 points.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Evan]

The Jackets are out 78 played, 90 points.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Evan]

So two points back. The Wings are out 78, played, 89 points. The Aisles are out 78 played, 89 points. Sam, strike. The Caps are out 78, plates 87 points. Caps getting pretty tricky.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

But the reason I mentioned them here are the regulation wins.

[Dan Powers]

Dude, these seem big for the aisles.

[Evan]

The Sens 35. So they are actually in a really good spot because they're in. They control their own destiny. They have the most points and the most regulation wins.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, got it.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Okay.

[Evan]

The Jackets have 27, the Wings have 29, the Aisles have 28 and the Caps have 33. So the Caps, the. If these teams stumble and they go. If they have to win their last

[Dan Powers]

four, yeah, they're squeaking.

[Evan]

But if they go four and oh, they. They have a huge lead in regulation wins.

[Dan Powers]

Sure.

[Evan]

Except on the Sens. But again, they would require the Sens to stumble because they're five points back. The Wings, despite everything, have to feel good having more regulation wins than the Jackets and the aisles.

[Dan Powers]

Absolutely.

[Evan]

Because it's like if those teams. If you need the Sen, you need sense help, obviously. But if you get Sens help and then you just kind of hold par with the Jackets and the aisles you get in.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Because you're like, I win in regulation. So that's really something to keep an eye on there. But the Sens, again, credit to them. Dude, they are fucking earning it.

[Dan Powers]

That feels great.

[Evan]

Ok. Feels great in the west. The Pacific. Worth noting. Currently The Oilers in first 78, 88, Vegas in second 78, 88, Ducks in third 78, 87. Insanely close. But the Oilers 30 regulation wins. Vegas 28, Ducks 24. So Ducks are not winning any tiebreakers, I can promise you that. But again, these are all. They're a point away. So you can just win naturally. Yep. But that oiler's in a good position to win the fucking division with their regulation wins. Currently Wild Card 1, the Utah Mammoth 77 played, 88 points.

[Dan Powers]

The Mammoth are in.

[Evan]

The Mammoth are in. They also have the most regulation.

[Dan Powers]

I'm telling you right now. The Mammoth are officially in the playoffs.

[Evan]

This is.

[Dan Powers]

This is a one spot race moving forward.

[Evan]

Currently wildcard two, the Preds, 78 played, 84 points.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Evan]

The Kings out 77. Played 83 points.

[Dan Powers]

Big.

[Evan]

The Sharks out 76. Played 81 points. Bigger. Yep. The jets out 77, played 80 points. The Blues out 77. Played 78 points. I didn't even put this.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, I would almost say the Blues are dead too.

[Evan]

But the problem for the Kings is they have 19 regulation wins.

[Dan Powers]

So insane. I was like 31.

[Evan]

I have got to be fucking kidding.

[Dan Powers]

31 games, dude. Have gone to ot shooter.

[Evan]

So they control their destiny over the Preds because they're only a point back with a game in hand. But they are body bagged with regulation wins.

[Dan Powers]

Oh yeah.

[Evan]

No, they need points, baby. And the Sharks control their destiny over the Kings because they have a far superior regul regulation win. And they control the destiny over the Preds on points. But they are. They're too behind in regulation win. So if it gets close with the Preds. So the Preds and the jets, which have 27 regulation wins, are the two lurkers or if they're like, we can just hold out and win a tie break.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. The good news though for the Sharks is if they win two games, they're then tied in regulation wins and they have more points.

[Evan]

The Sharks control their own destiny right now.

[Dan Powers]

Amazing.

[Evan]

And they're the number. They are the number one. Like it's up to us if the Sharks don't make the playoffs. They have themselves to blame because they are right now in the driver's seat.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, they are.

[Evan]

That's absolutely crazy. One thing for the listeners there are. I love when we get close to hockey playoffs because bet MGM opens the sickest markets. Get ready for the empty net bet obviously during playoffs. But right now they have a who is going to win the Atlantic? They've opened up who's going to win the Atlantic, who's going to win the Pacific. I think I have the odds right here. The Atlantic Division winner. Do you want to guess the odds?

[Dan Powers]

No.

[Evan]

Okay. The Atlantic Division winner, Tampa Bay minus 105.

[Dan Powers]

Okay.

[Evan]

Sabres plus 200. Habs plus 350. And I'm just saying that is some value. The Habs are like fucking nine and one. They're tied. Like, you're telling me the Habs just don't ride out this hot streak for four more games and win the Atlantic? It's not great.

[Dan Powers]

Value bet +350. It's really nuts that the Habs could win the Atlantic. Can you imagine 9 and 1 in their last 10. Fuck me, they're hot.

[Evan]

That's incredible.

[Dan Powers]

God, that's sick.

[Evan]

And then the Pacific Division winner, the Oilers plus 125. So you are getting plus money there, which is amazing. The Golden Knights plus 140. And then the Ducks plus 400 again.

[Dan Powers]

I think that's appropriate.

[Evan]

That's great value, though.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, but I think that's appropriate.

[Evan]

They could easily win the Kings plus 8,000 and the Sharks plus 10,000.

[Dan Powers]

Could you imagine if the Sharks want the division or the Kings, like, if the Kings just won five straight and these teams, like, stumbled and all of a sudden, like, the Kings are like this. We gotta make the playoffs. And then all of a sudden they blow blink and they win five in a row and they go, oh, my

[Evan]

God, you won the division. The sharks have what, six games left?

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

So they have 12 points available. So they could finish with 93.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah. I mean, dude, if the Oilers.

[Dan Powers]

It's very possible.

[Evan]

If the.

[Dan Powers]

If the Sharks go on a six game here and end the game with seven straight wins, like that is. That's possible for sure.

[Evan]

There's a. There's a very fair chance the oilers don't hit 93 points. Yeah, you know, like 99. Like that would be fucking insane.

[Dan Powers]

Sure.

[Evan]

Sharks regulation went. Yeah, they're a little behind. Unreal. Check out those markets, though. Cause there's some value in there. There sure is some good value in there.

[Dan Powers]

There sure is.

[Evan]

All right, speaking of BetMGM, speaking of

[Dan Powers]

markets, let's take a quick ad break, then let's hop back in.

[Evan]

We have one weekend left in the NHL regular season, and I have good news every Saturday. So this is your last chance in the regular season. Every Saturday, BetMGM dishes out extra winnings with one of my favorite tokens, the NHL Odds Boost token. All you have to do to get in on this boosting, you log into your betmgym account and you add any NHL wager to your bet. Slip. Now, we hand out a Saturday Sally every weekend. So if you want to bet on anytime goal scorer, be my guest. Because they come home. They come home pretty often. And those are big money. And then you're going to boost it. Don't forget about the boost. So find whatever bet you want this Saturday, place it. Okay. Then you activate the NHL odds boost token. And if that boosted bet hits, if that Saturday Sally comes home one more time this regular season, you get a bigger payout than ever before. It's amazing. If you haven't joined the BETMGM family yet, what are you waiting for? Do it right now. And do not forget to use that promo code, netters. That's N E T T E R S when you sign up. And then a million good things happen to you. You get your welcome offer. You get the odds boost token, you get the hat trick jackpot. Holy hell, BetMGM make it legendary. Welcome back, everybody. And man, this playoff race is getting insane. And Dan, I wanted to ask you, when you look at it, when you

[Dan Powers]

look at the teams, it was such like a traditional media.

[Evan]

Yeah, I am media. Yeah, I am real show. When I look at the teams in playoffs. And I'll even give you some of the bubble teams.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Evan]

Okay. And have you're participating in this look at playoff rundown and look at the bubble teams who. If you. If I said pick one team that could go on a 2012 Kings run. I'm not saying because they're the 18. I'm just saying who could shock the world. So don't.

[Dan Powers]

I think you should go. I think you should go through everyone in the playoffs.

[Evan]

Okay, so what do you want me to ask?

[Dan Powers]

Can they make a run or not?

[Evan]

Okay. But some of them aren't that shocking. Okay.

[Dan Powers]

You might be surprised with my answer.

[Evan]

Tampa Bay Lightning, can they make a run?

[Dan Powers]

Yes, Evan, absolutely.

[Chris Powers]

It's Tampa Bay, of course, agree.

[Evan]

The Buffalo Sabres, can they make a run?

[Dan Powers]

Hell yes, Evan.

[Chris Powers]

I would say yes with the caveat that they're inexperienced.

[Dan Powers]

See, that's what I'm saying. Like this is important to ask.

[Evan]

I will go yes on the Sabres, but I hesitated because. A little bit because of the inexperience and also because there are some things about their roster construction that I don't think position them to do well. But I think the Sabres roll vibes.

[Dan Powers]

Let's be honest, Chris. Round one right now is against the Canadiens.

[Evan]

Horrible matchup.

[Dan Powers]

That's about as big of a coin flip as you will ever see. Get one of those comical plastic quarters and flip it. That's how big of a coin flip.

[Evan]

So, Dan, can the Canadiens go on a run?

[Dan Powers]

Yes, Evan, absolutely. They're an interesting one where both of these teams could absolutely lose in the first round, and then I could absolutely see if they win. I could absolutely see them going on a run.

[Evan]

I think the Habs do not have a run in them.

[Dan Powers]

Okay, the Carolina Hurricanes. Absolutely, Evan.

[Evan]

Yeah, but running conference.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, and it stops there. But. Yeah, but.

[Evan]

Yeah, so they can. They can run.

[Dan Powers]

They can.

[Chris Powers]

So officially, a run ends at the conference final.

[Evan]

I'm saying if you make it to the finals, you have gone on a run.

[Dan Powers]

Yes. A run means make it to at least the third round.

[Chris Powers]

Okay. I would say that, like, the way that they play, they're so. Like, they're so stifling.

[Dan Powers]

Right.

[Chris Powers]

I just may. I don't know. Sometimes I feel like that backfires a little bit.

[Evan]

It does.

[Chris Powers]

And I don't know why, because I know everybody says defense wins championship.

[Dan Powers]

They have the second most goal scored in the league. So we're not going to call them a defensive team this year. They're good at D, but, like, wow. Yeah. Like, this team's a fucking Penguins. Oh, yeah.

[Evan]

Dude.

[Dan Powers]

That's amazing.

[Chris Powers]

Wait, what about them two?

[Dan Powers]

Penguins are fourth in the league in goal scored. That's incredible.

[Chris Powers]

I feel like a lot of that happened in the past, like, week and a half.

[Evan]

Yeah, sure did. Nine. Nine. It was.

[Chris Powers]

It was. It was. It was fucked up.

[Evan]

Okay, so you're going, no, the Canes can't make a run.

[Chris Powers]

I'm going to. I feel like an idiot saying no. I just. I just. I just don't like the way they play. So I just, like, don't want to see it.

[Evan]

I'm going, yes, Dan, The Pittsburgh Penguins.

[Chris Powers]

You don't have to. You don't have to coddle me.

[Dan Powers]

No, I think they can. They, like, if they get out of the first round and Skinner's playing well, I'm like, if you have Sid, it's similar to McDavid.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

I don't care how old he is. If you have Sid and he's in the playoffs and he's tasting playoff hockey again, which he's about to. Yes, you can, Evan.

[Chris Powers]

As a Penguins fan, I have to say emphatically, yes.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

I will say, as a Penguins fan, also, I will say that completely contingent on health, because they're old.

[Evan]

Yep. Yeah, they are old.

[Chris Powers]

And I do always worry about team defense, and I worry about the goaltending being in its own head.

[Evan]

Something's Happening this year. Something's happening.

[Chris Powers]

No, I know. Honestly, this. The whole conference right now feels like it's so. Like there's so many possibilities. It's almost anybody's.

[Evan]

Yeah, I'm going. Definitely. Yes, Dan. The Flyers.

[Dan Powers]

No, Evan.

[Chris Powers]

Fuck the Flyers. No way.

[Evan]

I don't think they can make a run either, but I think they can hear for what's happening.

[Dan Powers]

I think they can win a round. I don't think they can run.

[Evan]

The Boston Bruins.

[Dan Powers]

Yes, Evan.

[Chris Powers]

I stated this a few episodes back. Absolutely. Every time this team gets in the

[Dan Powers]

playoffs, not a team you want to fuck with.

[Evan]

I'm going. I. I wanted to say no, but I'm going yes. Because of Swayman. And there's obviously other great.

[Dan Powers]

The reason I hesitated was I was flirting with being like, I think they could go deep.

[Evan]

Yep, that's a right.

[Dan Powers]

My answer is yes.

[Evan]

The Ottawa Senators. No.

[Dan Powers]

No.

[Evan]

I'm also going no. But that feels harsh. But I'm also going no. The Washington Capitals. Yes. If they get in.

[Chris Powers]

Weirdly enough, I'm not feeling it.

[Evan]

Yeah, he hates the Caps.

[Chris Powers]

I don't hate them. I just. And I respect the hell out of them. I just think that they've been too up and down.

[Dan Powers]

To me, it's just like. I don't know what's going on with them, but they have good players and you have one of the best goaltenders in the league. What do we always say?

[Evan]

A hot goalie could change everything. Yeah, the Columbus Blue Jackets.

[Dan Powers]

No, no, no.

[Chris Powers]

They, they, they had everybody's like imagination, but then they kind of lost it.

[Evan]

They were Detroit Red Wings.

[Dan Powers]

No, they can absolutely get in playoffs and I fucking believe in you. I don't think they can go. I don't think they can make it to round three.

[Chris Powers]

We put them on fraud watch and they are fraud.

[Evan]

Yeah, they are currently on fraud.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, they are fraud.

[Evan]

We certainly can't say they can make a rod.

[Chris Powers]

I think the morale is so low that there's no.

[Dan Powers]

We dropped the watch. And then they had a 32 lead with a minute left and got scored on.

[Evan]

Also no. The New York Islanders.

[Dan Powers]

Yes. Hot goalie, hot goalie, hot goalie.

[Evan]

That's what I was thinking. Young kid crazy enough to do it, one of the best goalies in the league. They could do the Islanders new coach post Tavares years that they made the Eastern Conference finals twice.

[Dan Powers]

I was like, what is happening?

[Evan]

You got Deborah. That could happen again.

[Dan Powers]

Come on.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, I mean, sounds crazy, but Yeah, I think DeBoer. Yeah, I mean, they were so good. For the past few months, there's no. I feel like they're. They. I would have more confidence in them than I would Blue Jackets. And they're both kind of in that same.

[Evan]

I agree. I totally agree.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Okay. Western Conference. The Colorado Avalanche.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, Absolutely. Although if they're. Are they.

[Dan Powers]

Are you out of your mind?

[Chris Powers]

Hold on.

[Evan]

Oh, okay. Fair, fair. Fair.

[Chris Powers]

Hold on.

[Dan Powers]

President's Trophy curse.

[Chris Powers]

Are they President's trophy. They're President's Trophy, right?

[Dan Powers]

They are.

[Chris Powers]

Okay. I. Obviously, I would bet money that they'll go far, but I would not be surprised if they fucking flame out.

[Dan Powers]

I'm gonna. As always with Danny pos. I know I just said let's keep moving fast, but with Danny positivity, I am just going to say this team is so good and they have so much talent. And there's no surprise to me at all that the woods have great numbers with the team they have in front of them. But they also have those great numbers during the regular season with regular season matchups when they're able to go tandem. I do not believe they're going to go tandem in the playoffs, which means one goalie has to play.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

Let's see what happens in playoffs. I think it's a great opportunity for one of the woods to take the starting job and perform incredibly well. Let's see if that happens. Yeah.

[Evan]

Wow. And actually, can you look up the Aves, the Stars and the Wild all have. Can all go on a run?

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Evan]

Okay. The Edmonton Oilers.

[Dan Powers]

Yes. Of course.

[Evan]

Evan.

[Dan Powers]

I do it. No, do it.

[Chris Powers]

I do it. I think Jar is going to shoot him in the ass. I think it's going to be bad.

[Dan Powers]

There you go.

[Chris Powers]

Sorry.

[Evan]

I love it. I love it. The Vegas Golden Knights.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Tricky one here.

[Dan Powers]

It's all goalie, but it's also.

[Evan]

Think about their division.

[Dan Powers]

That's what I'm saying.

[Evan]

Well, I'm just saying if you get out of that division, you've made the conference final.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. It's kind of true, isn't it?

[Evan]

Congrats. You made a run.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Yes. Because of that.

[Evan]

What do you think, Ev Tortorella is

[Chris Powers]

going to get him whipped into shape? I think they could go far.

[Evan]

I think so, too. Okay. Anaheim Ducks. No, Ev.

[Dan Powers]

Just. Just to round three. I believe they can make it to round two. Yeah. I don't believe they can make it to round three.

[Evan]

Agree.

[Chris Powers]

I completely agree with that take.

[Evan]

I'm going. Yes.

[Dan Powers]

And as it. As it stands like they are likely about to play the Colorado Avalanche if they get in the Ducks or no

[Evan]

sergeant, they'll catch Vegas.

[Dan Powers]

They'll catch Vegas.

[Evan]

But this is all jumbled and I'm actually going to go, yes, Ducks run.

[Dan Powers]

Even though I just debted them to the wild card.

[Evan]

I'm sorry, I have no confidence in them winning the Western Conference finals. I just think because of this division they actually could like if drivers come back, whatever. Utah Mammoth.

[Dan Powers]

Absolutely. Really, dude, can I give you some shit here?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

We're looking at league stuff. Goals for the Utah Mammoth are pretty in the middle of the pack, but goal difference. The Mammoth are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7th in the league. They are a good fucking hockey team, dude. And they've got hot at a very good opportunity.

[Evan]

Fourth, least amount of goals in the league given up.

[Dan Powers]

Fourth, least amount of goals given up in the league. They just added weeks to that defensive group. Like if Veggie plays well. Yeah, I think, dude. And we're talking about the first round matchup. They're going to be the number one wild card, which means they're going to play the winner of the Pacific. That is a nightmare. And I can't wait for someone to clip this when whoever wins the Pacific beats them in four or five games. But like, I don't think anyone wants to play this Utah Mammoth team. I think the, I think the, the Delta center is ready to blow the fucking roof off that place in the playoffs. I'm sure it's not going to be a fun place to play. I think the Mammoth are a great, fun team to potentially run if they

[Evan]

get into the Pacific. Well, they are going to. Almost certainly them jumping into the Pacific bracket is fucking massive.

[Dan Powers]

So I'm also.

[Evan]

Yes. Also, yes.

[Chris Powers]

I would say, like I've debted some teams because of their momentum being down and these guys are on what, a four game win streak. And as you said, I mean, yeah, I. I'd say they could, they could damage. Why not? Fuck it.

[Evan]

Preds.

[Dan Powers]

No Ev.

[Chris Powers]

Nah.

[Evan]

I'm also no on the Preds Kings.

[Dan Powers]

I'm such a fucking homer.

[Evan]

But the talent is there though.

[Dan Powers]

The talent is there.

[Evan]

Like they just.

[Dan Powers]

If they. For the same reason I said Washington, I am going to say yes. Because if they get in and they are, well, I mean again, they're going to have to play fucking Colorado and

[Evan]

then the winner of Dallas, Minnesota. It's a. It's a murderous road.

[Chris Powers]

It's a no, guys.

[Dan Powers]

You have Kopi in his last season. You have Darcy Camper, one of the best goalies in the league. They could be Drunk on piss and vinegar.

[Evan]

That's what I'm saying.

[Dan Powers]

And just do what they've done twice to win a cup.

[Evan]

It.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Evan]

Yes. It's.

[Chris Powers]

I'm going. No, I'm sorry. There isn't 3 on 3 OT in shootouts in the playoffs. I don't think because the regulation win numbers are too low.

[Evan]

Insane Sharks.

[Dan Powers]

No,

[Chris Powers]

they haven't arrived yet but man, it would be fun to watch.

[Evan]

It'd be so fun. But you're right.

[Chris Powers]

But they're not ready.

[Evan]

Future is bright.

[Chris Powers]

Not ready yet.

[Evan]

The Jets. No, I'm going. Yes.

[Dan Powers]

If it's insanely dumb for me to say what I keep saying about a hot goalie. Actually, you know what? I apologize to the Jeff this episode. So I'm going to stay on that trend. Yes, Yes. I mean that's a guy you don't want to play.

[Evan]

You do not want to play a

[Dan Powers]

newly gold medal winning Kamalbach who's clearly scorching hot. You don't want to play him.

[Chris Powers]

I'm going to go no. But I will say I haven't watched enough of them to really give you an informed answer. So I'll say I'm going to maybe abstain. How about that?

[Evan]

That's fine. Okay. And that's it for the, for the West. Every, each of us name one team or two if you really want. That is a top seat, top, top seed that you think could just have a horrific crash out.

[Dan Powers]

Edmonton.

[Evan]

Edmonton.

[Dan Powers]

I don't, I don't think they would

[Evan]

count it as that too.

[Dan Powers]

By the way, if they lose to

[Evan]

the Mammoth, they will go. We.

[Dan Powers]

That is a. Yeah, I, I, I mean, listen, I do, I, I don't think that I learned my lesson last year and I never picked against them and they went to the Western Conference. They went to the Stanley Cup.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

But this team is worse than they were last year and the year before. They could definitely lose early. So. Yeah, them.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

But and then again Dallas and Minnesota,

[Evan]

that doesn't count for.

[Dan Powers]

That's, that's just a nightmare.

[Evan]

I guess for me it's just that Atlantic winner. If it's not Tampa, I think. Well, I guess Tampa losing would be a shock, but I just think they're pretty dialed right now.

[Dan Powers]

Well, well, what's funny, right, is like Tampa, Buffalo and Montreal are all tied in points right now and games played and any. The two of them will play play each other and one of them is dead.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

So one of them will do this. So.

[Evan]

Yeah. Right. Which is tough.

[Dan Powers]

It's tough.

[Evan]

God damn. Okay. That's gonna be insane.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Very exciting. Very exciting. Okay, Dan, you mentioned it at the top, but we got. If you're listening to this, we got some college hockey on.

[Dan Powers]

We sure do.

[Evan]

Today and Saturday, Vegas for the Frozen Four.

[Dan Powers]

We got games on tomorrow. CP and I will not be there, unfortunately. We're gonna be there. We're not gonna be there, but we're going to be dialed in, of course.

[Evan]

Watching what girls must be there.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, yeah, dude. Their boots on the ground. Boots on the ground. Merle's G. They're there. They're fucking ripping it up. We're obviously going to be dialed in, paying attention. Going to be great games. I said this last. This is. When I look at these four teams, I'm like, that's college hockey.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Dan Powers]

Michigan, Denver. Nodak, Wisconsin.

[Evan]

You had in your bracket Michigan. And then I think it was Dartmouth or. No. Who did you have?

[Dan Powers]

No, I had Michigan. Denver here.

[Evan]

I know. I'm saying who did you have in the final? Like, you had Michigan over Denver and then you had.

[Dan Powers]

I. I had. I. Oh, yeah. I had. I think my final was Michigan. No deck.

[Evan]

Oh, nice. Okay. And you had Michigan. I had no deck.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Okay.

[Dan Powers]

Because I had. Again, there are a bunch of people chirping me, rightfully so, being like this. Remember when you picked Dartmouth over Wisconsin? And I was like, no, no. I said it would be cool if Dartmouth went on this. And I did pick them, but I was like, they're not going to win.

[Evan]

Okay, so give me a Michigan Denver score, Dan.

[Dan Powers]

I'm going to go four to two regulation.

[Evan]

Oh, my God. There's no way this game doesn't go to overtime.

[Dan Powers]

No.

[Evan]

No way. Hey, listen to me.

[Dan Powers]

Correct.

[Evan]

No way.

[Dan Powers]

Four to two regulations, statement win from the Wolverines.

[Evan]

I'm going five, four, ot. And I took Michigan, so I'm going to stay with it. But, man, that would be. And also, you know how we were saying earlier when the girls won the Wisconsin game? I was like, oh, maybe the boys will win. And it's like this whole thing's happening again. I think Michigan basketball winning helps the hockey team. I genuinely do. I think they'll got to do it. Yeah, 100%. It's a little. It's a tail, it's a tie. Michigan, Denver. But that the basketball win is a little extra juice.

[Dan Powers]

Us Michigan fans, Chris, we got a little taste. That was a little appetizer of a national championship.

[Evan]

Boom.

[Dan Powers]

It's nice. I love the basketball.

[Evan]

That's fun.

[Dan Powers]

34 years, but this is the real one. Okay? Coming up.

[Evan]

No Dak. Wisconsin, give me a score.

[Dan Powers]

2, 1, OT. No Dak. Low scoring game.

[Evan]

Wow. Okay, I. God. But I feel like now the girls winning should give these boys the juice. But I am going to go no Dak. Because I stuck with it. My picks and I think they roll. They haven't. They haven't been scored on deck, dude.

[Dan Powers]

It's insane.

[Evan]

They haven't scored on. I think this is. They think they will get scored on. But give me four one, love. Yep. And then final prediction. Michigan. No Dak. Give me a score. I know who you got.

[Dan Powers]

Three one Michigan.

[Evan]

Wow. Empty netter.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Evan]

That's cool. Give me no Dak. I'm sorry to do it to the Wolverines, but give me. No Dak.

[Dan Powers]

This guy.

[Evan]

Michigan will score, though. They'll score. Give me. Give me 4:2 with an empty netter.

[Dan Powers]

Appreciate those goals.

[Evan]

4:2. Give the fans something.

[Dan Powers]

Can't wait to stuff them up your hoop.

[Evan]

Give the van something to cheer about.

[Dan Powers]

All right, before we move on and end Hot ice, we got to talk about the Zamoth.

[Evan]

So sick. Dude. Have you seen this up?

[Chris Powers]

No, I don't know.

[Dan Powers]

You don't know what the zamith is?

[Chris Powers]

No, I don't.

[Dan Powers]

Keep talking. Why don't you do yourself a favor? Pop on Twitter right now and go to the Utah Mammoth Twitter page.

[Chris Powers]

You got it.

[Dan Powers]

And look at the Zamboni that they made. What do you think of that?

[Evan]

Can you believe that, dude?

[Chris Powers]

It looks like a fucking cyber truck elephant. But I love.

[Dan Powers]

Looks like a Transformer.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

It's pretty great.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

I mean, I. I personally love it when people go the extra mile and make shit fun. It's entertainment. It's sports entertainment.

[Evan]

I actually can't believe it took. And I didn't have this idea. So I'm not saying. I'm not chirping, but I can't believe it took this long for a team to do this. Yeah, like, this is fucking money bags.

[Dan Powers]

I. I tweeted. I. I tweeted it out and about when Ryan Smith tweeted it, and I was like, this guy doesn't miss, dude.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

When it comes to fan service, this guy is a servant of the people. He is the Caesar that Marcus Aurelius wanted to be. Yes.

[Evan]

Dude.

[Dan Powers]

It's unbelievable.

[Evan]

It's incredible. This is so good. I was.

[Dan Powers]

He brought hockey to Utah and then immediately gave it to the people.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Gave them exactly what they wanted. Do. This guy is. This guy is. He's literally the emperor.

[Evan]

And the name is perfect. The Zamoth dude.

[Dan Powers]

I imagine it's like he looked at that one day and he's like, oh, the zambo Zamboni. And someone was like the mammoth, the zan.

[Evan]

Oh my God. I have a fucking great idea.

[Chris Powers]

This is the kind of shit I'd come up with when I was like baked out of my mind.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

You know, you need, you need that

[Dan Powers]

like inspiration that you would see in the animated Mighty Ducks cartoon.

[Evan]

They just do it, dude.

[Dan Powers]

They did it. That thing is going to be on the ice cleaning it.

[Evan]

It's so amazing.

[Dan Powers]

I wonder how they're it's going to handle. Tight corners, probably not well.

[Chris Powers]

Oh yeah, those, those tusks are going to fucking chip up some boards. Take out a patron.

[Dan Powers]

The second the Zamith impales someone, it's

[Evan]

gonna be a lawsuit, dude.

[Dan Powers]

This is gonna be a cornballer situation.

[Evan]

This is incredible.

[Dan Powers]

Unbelievable.

[Evan]

Huge shout to the mammoth and the zambists. Like the grand.

[Dan Powers]

It's just fucking hilarious. It's so awesome. And again, they can't miss. Yeah. Until again someone gets skewered on that thing like a shish kebab.

[Evan]

Because you know what else can't miss? Those tusks. They are not going to miss anything.

[Dan Powers]

It's going to be a big problem. They look pretty sharp.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, Steel reinforced. They're not stopping those bad boys.

[Dan Powers]

[Evan]

Final. Daniel. Daniel, final.

[Dan Powers]

Class.

[Evan]

The professors could return in another capacity.

[Dan Powers]

Sure.

[Evan]

But this upcoming weekend is the last weekend.

[Dan Powers]

The last weekend. And professor, might I pay you a compliment?

[Evan]

Assuredly. Assuredly so.

[Dan Powers]

Your commitment to your winter garb, even though we are decidedly in the summer months here in California is truly breathtaking to behold.

[Evan]

Sir, I had to leave this outfit out. All you.

[Dan Powers]

Your scarf hanging on your coat rack all season long.

[Evan]

Every time I went to clean the flat, I said, I wish I could put that away, but I need it again next week. I pack it to a trip. Road trips.

[Dan Powers]

Your fiance must be delighted to finally pack up the scarf.

[Evan]

We are. We are finished.

[Dan Powers]

Well, this is the last lecture of the season. Again. In this capacity, the professors might return for maybe some summer lectures or something like that. But we had our last weekend and we didn't do the best. Professor, tell everyone how the mega parlay went.

[Evan]

The mega parlay recap. Wings, no. Wild, yes. Stars, no. Bolts, yes. Pens, yes. Habs, yes. Sabers, no. Oh, I did. Yeah. Sabers, no. Isles, no. Jackets, no. Mammoth, yes. Kings, yes. Oilers, no. Flames, yes. Sharks, no. Spunk, no.

[Dan Powers]

7 and 8, as we always remind you. We always could do worse and we

[Evan]

would strive to do worse in the future.

[Dan Powers]

But let's try to get things on an uptick for this last one.

[Evan]

Yes. Coming home once. See the live on the beach. Only must come home once. One time. That is the point.

[Dan Powers]

And then we're on the beach. That's the whole point.

[Evan]

That's the whole point.

[Dan Powers]

Now the life on the line. We did better, but we weren't perfect. But we were 3 and 1. The Pens won, the kings won, the mammoth won. But the wings could not finish the job for us.

[Evan]

And Daniel, I am 40 in my last two weeks. I am aware and it feels tremendous.

[Dan Powers]

I believe it.

[Evan]

Unfortunately, that means surely that my picks are horrific. This week.

[Dan Powers]

That's true. But as ever, the Friday fade came home. It sure did. The Blues over the Ducks six to two. Fucking hell.

[Evan]

It's incredible. What? We were with people who attend lectures with the professors. We were with them this weekend and they said, what is the fate? We told them and they said, no, no, shmee, it can't be the Blues. But we hammered it and we said watch, watch.

[Dan Powers]

Hammered it from Puerto Rico.

[Evan]

And then it. Cause there was a BetMGM book.

[Dan Powers]

Can you believe it?

[Evan]

In Puerto Rico. That was incredible. I was not expecting that at all. We hammered the fade. The Fade delivered.

[Dan Powers]

The Fade did deliver. But this week we don't have any games on Friday.

[Evan]

Very interesting.

[Dan Powers]

Very interesting. So tonight, if you're listening, we do have four games and every single one of them is ripe for a fade. So I have an idea to.

[Evan]

Well, actually, Daniel, there Teen games tonight.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

[Evan]

We highlighted four potential fades.

[Dan Powers]

We have four potential fade games is what I meant to say. So we have the Cats at the Sens. Surely the Surges.

[Evan]

The Sens have been incredible. They're fighting for their lives.

[Dan Powers]

We have the Kains at the Hawks. In what world do the Hawks beat the Kains? We have the Flames at the Aves. Excuse me, what are we talking about? And then we have the Canucks at the Kings. A must win game for the Kings and the Canucks, as we have spoken

[Evan]

about in all episodes. Minus one billion.

[Dan Powers]

Absolutely.

[Evan]

Minus one billion. Gold.

[Dan Powers]

Now here is what I propose.

[Evan]

Interesting. I like where this is headed.

[Dan Powers]

We're going to pick a fade, surely. Don't worry, there will be a Thursday fade. I propose, given that all of those are guaranteed wins, we do a mini life on the line and we put a bet on the Sens, on the Kains, on the Aves and on the Kings, all the favorites. And then I think we do a reverse and do a mega fade and bet on the Cats, on the Hawks, on the Flames and on the Canucks.

[Evan]

So we take both sides.

[Dan Powers]

We're going to do two separate four game parlays. All the opposites.

[Evan]

I actually love the idea of a.

[Dan Powers]

It's our last day.

[Evan]

I love the idea of a fade parlay. You take all. You take Cats, Hawks, Flames, Canucks.

[Dan Powers]

Which we are going to do. Which will decidedly never hit.

[Evan]

Yes, it could not.

[Dan Powers]

Which is why we do the reverse as well. And then we will pick a fade. It's our last day in class, actually.

[Evan]

Daniel. That is interesting. Let's have some fun. That is interesting in that the final. And listen, this is a Thursday fade. So we Take no responsibility. We do not know if the magic of Friday fade continues to Thursday. This is not our fault. We're trying to help. What is interesting to me is the parlay of the favorites could not. Or, excuse me, the parlay of the dogs could never happen. Ever. Ever. So you could take it as a fae, because this is the way the world is.

[Dan Powers]

It's a fade parle.

[Evan]

But do we also need to take the first.

[Dan Powers]

I will say, do you remember early in the season we did the unlikely.

[Evan]

Yes, I do, Daniel. I remember that. Yes.

[Dan Powers]

And I took three dogs and we won on the back of Will and Macklin. It was unbelievable.

[Evan]

So this could be perfect timing.

[Dan Powers]

I think we do it. I think we do a fade parlay of all four teams.

[Evan]

Yes, sir.

[Dan Powers]

We do a favorite fade of the all four of the opposite teams. And then tell me if you disagree. I believe that the clear fade of these four games.

[Evan]

I'm looking at it right now.

[Dan Powers]

Must be the Flames beating the AVS

[Evan]

at home in Colorado, where they have never lost.

[Dan Powers]

There's just no planet where that happens.

[Evan]

The Flames cannot beat the AVs. So that will be the solitary Thursday fade. Thursday fade. But please, dabble in both sides.

[Dan Powers]

Let's get nuts of a parlay. Let's have a little bit of fun. Why not?

[Evan]

Why not?

[Dan Powers]

Now, the Saturday selly. We picked Mr. Saturday himself, Cole Caulfield. The Habs had a delightful 43 win in a shootout, but somehow Cole didn't. He still didn't have 50.

[Evan]

It's inconceivable that he does not have 50 goals.

[Dan Powers]

I can't believe it, and I don't even want to speak it into existence.

[Evan]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Dan Powers]

He Simply must get 50.

[Evan]

He simply must.

[Dan Powers]

So we didn't get that. Is there anyone you like this Saturday?

[Evan]

Well, I like Macklin, but Macklin has done us very well. But he is. He's absolutely firing, surely. And it's the. It's the Canucks. And I'm like, okay, Macklin was cool. I also love Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes has been incredible. They lost to Philly, obviously, but he's been the best player in the league since the Olympics. He's got a tough one against the Wings, but it's sometimes his boys are on that team. He's playing against Locke and it's exciting. It's happy. He scores. He scores. He scores. I like Jack. And then the Cats at Leafs is just a ridiculous game, but the Cats have actually been scoring a bunch. And it's been the guys every time I look up, it's Vahegi. It's Tkachuk. There's some of this in my mind. And the Leafs. The Leafs play six, seven, six games all the time. Something the Cats will score.

[Dan Powers]

What do we think about? I don't like that Jack Hughes is on the road. And the Wings. Neither do I.

[Evan]

You know I hate the roads.

[Dan Powers]

Their back is against the wall. I love, dare I say, Morgan Geeky. Oh, starting hot.

[Evan]

Hot again.

[Dan Powers]

Chasing 40.

[Evan]

He does want 40. Could be an even and empty.

[Dan Powers]

I love, truly love Dylan Gunther, but they are playing the Canes, so that's difficult.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Dan Powers]

And I really love Sidney Crosby. At home against the Caps. Potentially the last time he ever plays. Alex Ovechka.

[Evan]

I love it. That is actually perfect. Let's do that.

[Dan Powers]

Let's go with Sid for the Saturday. Sally. Anytime. Goal scorer in potentially. I don't think it will be.

[Evan]

It could be.

[Dan Powers]

I believe OV is coming back. But the fact that it's possible.

[Evan]

Yes. He's having discussions.

[Dan Powers]

He has to think.

[Evan]

He has to think. He has to reset the body, sadly. Sid.

[Dan Powers]

Exactly.

[Evan]

Saturday, Selly.

[Dan Powers]

So, for our Sunday hat trick parlay. Tell me.

[Evan]

We gave you the caps moneyline under 6.5 and a Dylan Strome point. Unfortunately, Strohm didn't have a point. Also unfortunately, the Rags beat the caps 8 to 1 and. Are you fucking my father?

[Dan Powers]

It's the most disastrous Sunday hat trick parlay we've ever done. Without question.

[Evan]

How do you lose that game?

[Dan Powers]

That was an embarrassment. Thank fucking Christ for the Friday fade. Otherwise this would have been the most shit performance by the professors I've ever seen.

[Evan]

Terrible. The Sunday slate. Pens at Caps, Habs at Isles. Bruins at Jackets, Sens at Devils. Canucks at Ducks. Mammoth at Flames. Daniel, pick a winner right now, please.

[Dan Powers]

I shall take. Crikey.

[Evan]

Fuck.

[Dan Powers]

The Ducks. The Ducks simply must. They're fighting for their lives to keep flying into the playoffs. And they're playing the Canucks. They have to be the ducks.

[Evan]

Under 6.5.

[Dan Powers]

Beckett.

[Evan]

Beckett, Seneca Point, please.

[Dan Powers]

Please.

[Evan]

Sunday hat trick parlay.

[Dan Powers]

I love it.

[Evan]

Ducks under 6.5. Beckett, Seneca Point.

[Dan Powers]

Now let us begin our run around for the Saturday mega Live on a beach parlay. Who should start?

[Evan]

Who should start?

[Dan Powers]

I think I should start. I don't think I've ever started.

[Evan]

That's not true at all. I think it's possible, sir.

[Dan Powers]

Dr. Watkins, have I ever started this?

[Chris Powers]

Not in my tenure, sir.

[Dan Powers]

See? And he's the doctor.

[Evan]

Bollocks.

[Dan Powers]

What do you have to say to that, you fucking twat.

[Evan]

Daniel.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Evan]

Bolts at Bruins.

[Dan Powers]

I'll take the Bruins. I will.

[Evan]

Delightful. Christopher sends at Isles. Wow. New coach Bump. Give me the Isles. Dr. Watkins caps at Pens.

[Dan Powers]

What a stupid question. Penguins.

[Evan]

Daniel Oil at Kings. Want a game.

[Dan Powers]

Here we are a bunch of fucking morons taking all the home teams. I have to believe that they will fight until the end. I'm taking the Kings.

[Evan]

Christopher. Devils at Wings. I have to believe they will fight until the end. We need four zero, gentlemen. Four zero. Give me the wings. Dr. Watkins. Blues at Hawks.

[Dan Powers]

I'm really high on Chris pronger now, so St. Louis love it.

[Evan]

Daniel Wild at Prince.

[Dan Powers]

I think. The Wild.

[Evan]

Christopher Rags at stars.

[Dan Powers]

Stars.

[Evan]

Surely. Dr. Watkins canes at Mammoth. What's a game?

[Dan Powers]

Brilliant game.

[Chris Powers]

Mammoth.

[Evan]

Whoa. With the Zamboni. The Zamoth is here, so surely it's the Mammoth. Daniel. Cats and Leafs, I think.

[Dan Powers]

Give me the Leafs. I need them to continue to up their stock so they don't get a 6. 5 pick.

[Evan]

6th pick. 6th pick.

[Dan Powers]

Take the least.

[Evan]

Christopher. Jackets at Habs. Wow. I actually will go Jackets. They will battle the Habs. I've been so delightful. Give me the jackets. Dr. Watkins. Flyers at Jets.

[Dan Powers]

Let's go, Jets.

[Evan]

Yes. I knew it.

[Dan Powers]

I think that's a sharp pick.

[Evan]

I knew he would go there. Daniel Flames at sponk.

[Dan Powers]

Splow a load. One more time.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Dan Powers]

Give me the sponk.

[Evan]

Thank you, Sponk. Christopher Nights at avs. The ultimate torts test. Give me the nights.

[Dan Powers]

Brilliant.

[Evan]

And then Dr. Watkins round us out. Canucks at Sharks.

[Chris Powers]

Macklin wins. Sharks will win.

[Evan]

Yes. Yes, Dr.

[Dan Powers]

Phenomenal.

[Evan]

Now life or. Excuse me. Just to recap. Bruins, Isles, Pens, Kings, Wings, Blues, Wild. Stars, Mammoth, Leafs, Jackets, Jets, Spunk Nights. Sharks live on a fucking beach. Holy shit. Now life on the line.

[Dan Powers]

Life on the line.

[Evan]

Just do it one more time. Do it one more time.

[Dan Powers]

We'll do our nice poetic rhymes one last time.

[Evan]

I shall stop.

[Dan Powers]

I think you should begin.

[Evan]

I shall stop. I shall stop. I actually was. I don't even. I recall what I picked.

[Dan Powers]

So did I. I had.

[Evan]

Sometimes I picked right before. Sometimes I picked days before I had to recall. Let's see here. Okay. That's right. Okay. Leg number one, Gentlemen. After looking so dominant all year, that team in Texas does have some flaws. A win versus the Rags would alleviate some fears. Lately, Dallas has been as lax as their gun laws. Oh, no. Stars Money Line didn't like them.

[Dan Powers]

Award rough. Oh, fucking hell. That's great.

[Chris Powers]

He's not wrong.

[Dan Powers]

That's great. All right, Hold on. Habs Aren't just a fling. They want the whole thing. Fans are feeling extra horned up with cold. Red hot. They've got a real shot. Is there a chance this team wants the cup? It's been five tough years of jackets, fans, tears. Constant collapse at 11 o'.

[Evan]

Clock.

[Dan Powers]

If it happens. If it happens. It's not an if, but a when. Blast that cannon straight into your cocks. Habs money line.

[Evan]

Next leg. Next leg, next leg, Next leg. Tampa looks ready for championship Boats with Cooch surely owed a heart or three. But Boston is ready to sink the boats. This is a tea bagging, not a tea party.

[Dan Powers]

Nice. I like that I picked Boston as well. Does that work?

[Evan]

Yes. Yes.

[Dan Powers]

Alright. And then the last one. Playoffs are on the line and teams are running out of time. Neither Sens nor the Isles are a lock. War has been canned. Now DeBoer takes command. Perhaps a new coach will stiffen their cocks.

[Evan]

For the Sens.

[Dan Powers]

There's a risk. Things have been a bit brisk. Lots of media that will give fans a frown. If they do miss the dance. There's a pretty good chance Brady's getting the fuck out of town. Isles moneyline.

[Evan]

Isles Habs Bruins stars One time.

[Dan Powers]

Life on the line.

[Evan]

Bring it home.

[Dan Powers]

For the love of fucking God, please. Class, it's been a delight for us all season long. Like we said, this is our last regular session, but perhaps some Sunday sessions during the post season. We hope to see you there. Now let's take a quick break and return.

[Evan]

All right, I gotta talk to you guys for a second about gld. That's where I got this insane necklace right here. This is the Miami Cuban chain. Five millimeter. Unbelievable. Honestly. As soon as you get it. I got it in the mail as soon as I took it out of the box. You can feel the weight of the product. You can actually feel the quality. And listen, I'm always a necklace guy and I think that's something guys are missing. They've got stuff they love. Favorite shoes, favorite shirt, favorite hat. I always got a hat on. Jewelry is usually missing. And that's where you GLD comes in. Because they have an insane arsenal of products for you to pick from. It's actually amazing. And it's not just hype. They have over 2 million customers. They have 50,000 5 star reviews. With GLD being worn by names like Justin Bieber, Malik Neighbors who carried my fantasy team two years ago. How are you? Micah Parsons, asap. Rocky and many more. It's unbelievable. And it's not just necklaces. They've Got pendants, they've got bracelets, they've got all kinds of stuff. It's really amazing. I highly recommend you go check it out because it was will. Just the feel, the way you look, the way you feel, it's awesome. It's the missing piece that you've been sleeping on and it's going to be amazing. GLD has an official collab with the NFL. So you can get every NFL team on a pendant this season, which is sick. You get that ready for the fall. They also have official collabs with the NBA, the wnba, the mlb, the ncaa, the NHL, the mls, and even DC Comics. Are you kidding me? I love DC Comics. They get chains and pendants that can let you rep what you love, feeling cool, looking cool. It's amazing. And also, very importantly, they have every price point. All right, so it's entry level from 18 karat gold plated or they all get all the way to solid gold and natural diamonds. So whatever you want to spend, GLD has you covered. You can find the perfect piece for you and then you'll be laughing. And they can also create fully custom pieces. It's a one of a kind pendant. Iced out chain designs, exactly how you picture them in your brain, exactly how you want them to look. If you have something in mind, GLD will help you bring it to life. And then you're wearing exactly what you want. It's easy. Awesome. So work hard and change the game. For a limited time only new customers are getting an insane deal. Use code netters, that's N e T T e r s to get 40% [e-mail] that's 40% off with code [e-mail] after your purchase, they will ask you where you heard about them. Please support our show and tell them we sent you. All right, boys, I have a question for you and I'm going to ask it and I want you to kind of react. I want you to respond just from a knee jerk kind of. And then I'm gonna give you a little bit more details and we can dig in. Okay, Understood. I was talking with somebody and he was making a point that Sunday is such a day of like lounging and being gross kind of where you just, you order a ton of food and you never. You don't move and you just lay in there.

[Dan Powers]

Sure.

[Evan]

And you're tired. That he made the comment to me that he goes, Sunday is probably the day of the week that has the least amount of sex. The least amount of sex is had on Sunday. Because you're not as a single person, you're not obviously going out on Sunday. And then even as in a relationship person, you are like, we're just ordering. We ate Chinese food and are watching TV and we just fall asleep. And I said, I disagree and I want. I'm going to stop there because I want your knee jerks. What days rank the days of the week in amount, amount of fucking that they are having?

[Dan Powers]

Saturday one, obviously.

[Chris Powers]

Are you counting like Friday night at 1am that's me, technically Saturday.

[Evan]

Great question, Evan.

[Dan Powers]

Great question.

[Evan]

Came up. No, this one came up and we said that it does. After midnight is a different day. No, the day has changed.

[Dan Powers]

Absolutely. This is a stupid. I will.

[Chris Powers]

That's a technicality.

[Dan Powers]

I will not participate in this discussion. If we use this technology, today has changed.

[Evan]

So just to be clear, I will

[Dan Powers]

not participate in this discussion.

[Evan]

We'll do the Dan ranking. But just to be clear, Sunday is the number one day of the week. And I was like, are you.

[Dan Powers]

If you're doing the fact that you said this to this person who made a great point and then you're going, well, technically, just shut up, Brian.

[Chris Powers]

Was that Billy Madison?

[Dan Powers]

It sure was.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, fuck yeah.

[Dan Powers]

That is such a lame technicality that you pulled out on a friend who made a great point.

[Evan]

It's the number one day. You are such a fucking stupid number one day.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, but can't you, can't you see like a Sunday afternoon, like we just got back from my friend's daytime birthday. We're a little day drunk. We're gonna fuck. Like, are we doing the.

[Dan Powers]

If the night goes into the morning.

[Evan]

Nope, nope. No, we'll do. No, we can, we'll do if you're still up. It's still that day.

[Chris Powers]

We'll do your thing.

[Dan Powers]

If we're living in that world. Yes, I'm sure that that does happen, but I think that he. I'm not ready. I'm not sure I'm ready to call it the last day on the list, but it is low.

[Evan]

Can I push back again? And this one you can't even dog me on.

[Dan Powers]

Sure.

[Evan]

And I actually said this to him and he went like this. Oh my God, you are 100% right. And then I hit him with the post midnight thing and he was like, wow, I am a fool. It's literally one. But even ignoring that, there are plenty of. You do it in the mornings from their Saturday night. Like you have gone to bed, you wake up and you wake up.

[Dan Powers]

I think if you're not fucking On Saturday night. It's probably because you're too hammered.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

And then you're probably too hungover to be like, I feel sexy. Let's have sex now. Only disgusting slobs. Not looking at any couple in particular that I know.

[Evan]

Wow.

[Dan Powers]

Wants to have messy hair. Just fat, booze, stinking sex on Sunday morning.

[Evan]

You are so wrong. I would say fat, Boozy sex is 90% of sex had in this country.

[Dan Powers]

No, but I'm talking about hungover the next day.

[Evan]

Yeah. Yeah, that. People do that.

[Dan Powers]

All you think 90% of sex in this morning is hungover on Sunday morning. How dumb are you?

[Evan]

90% of people do that. You are in the elite. Elite who are like, no, I must run time out and shave again. And then.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, I want you to look into that camera and tell me that you think more people in this country have sex hungover the next morning on Sunday than they do on Saturday night.

[Evan]

No, I'm saying.

[Dan Powers]

Okay, that's what you were just saying. You were just saying 90% of people.

[Evan]

I'm saying people don't do it. And I'm saying, yes, they do.

[Dan Powers]

I'm saying people do do it. But I'm saying I don't think that many people do it to the point where Sunday is the top day of the week.

[Evan]

Well, it isn't, because you took away my midnight thing. Even though that is Sunday. But I completely concede that it's not number one.

[Dan Powers]

It's just not, though. You are not in a. When you're out drinking on Saturday night and it's after midnight, you're not going like this. It's Sunday.

[Evan]

I do that all the time. Every time at midnight, I go like, yes, it's Sunday, everyone.

[Dan Powers]

You are that fucking nerd.

[Evan]

Yeah. At the bar. Happy Sunday.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. And then Sunday, everybody, let's have a great week. Yeah.

[Evan]

That's my Lord's day.

[Chris Powers]

And technically, this is the first day of the week.

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Which is bullshit.

[Dan Powers]

It's Monday. Everyone say you're Hail Mary.

[Evan]

Who did that, by the way? That's fucking. Fucking moron. Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Some Mayan. Some Mayan idiot make Monday morning after.

[Evan]

Makes Sunday. It is now in a fight with Friday for two.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, man. You're really.

[Evan]

Because the weekdays are obviously not in the top three.

[Dan Powers]

I completely disagree with that.

[Evan]

I think you just lose so much single sex.

[Dan Powers]

So much single sex. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Well, I'll tell you, I just had a conversation with my significant other, and we were like, we need to do this more often. Can we create a weekday where we

[Evan]

Assign it to banging or to pretend it's a weeknight.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, no, on a weeknight. So we're like, you know, Wednesday, Thursday, you're getting close to the weekend.

[Dan Powers]

I think if you're in a relationship and you don't have kids, I think sex during the week is incredibly prevalent. Me too. And it's one of the only good things about the week.

[Evan]

Oh, totally agree. But people, this is another thing that you have a wonderfully healthy sex life, but I think most people don't. Most people in relationships do not. Where they go. We're having sex all the time. Psych. We actually never have sex.

[Chris Powers]

And especially if you get older and you've been in a long, long relationship,

[Evan]

all this relationship sex that's going into the tallies for the weeknights does not exist.

[Dan Powers]

You're also. But however, if we're gonna. If we're gonna pull that out, we gotta pull out the. Plenty of single people who don't have sex at all. That's a shame.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

You mean most of Gen Z. Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

They're not.

[Evan]

Yeah. This conversation does not involve them. We're talking millennials. And up.

[Dan Powers]

Okay. Because millennials be fucking.

[Evan]

Be fucking.

[Dan Powers]

Dude. I mean, actually, you want to talk about. People be fucking. Thinking about baby boomers.

[Evan]

Actually. Dan.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

This conversation can.

[Dan Powers]

They're named after the amount of fucking they were doing.

[Evan]

This gen conversation can count. Gen Z. And it will just add nothing. It's the exact same conversation. Because there's zero.

[Dan Powers]

There's zero sex being had.

[Evan]

The numbers don't change.

[Dan Powers]

Hold on. Are baby boomers called baby boomers because they were the baby.

[Chris Powers]

No, no.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

No, technically it was their grandparents. Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

What are they called?

[Chris Powers]

The greatest. Potentially the greatest generation.

[Dan Powers]

What is the generation above Baby Greatest generation. Those are the ones as far as how. Because they were fucking so much.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. The greatest.

[Dan Powers]

The baby boomers are the result of the sex being had by the greatest generation.

[Evan]

And then they. That's awesome. What they did was. And our parents.

[Dan Powers]

Baby boomers.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Dan Powers]

So our grandparents were fucking.

[Evan]

Yes. And they. The greatest generation. Because they didn't have the Internet created the baby boomers. And then the baby boomers created the Gen X.

[Chris Powers]

Yes, but her millennials.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Who are like all the.

[Evan]

All the baby boomers in. Was destroyed our housing market because there's too many of them. And now we can't live anywhere.

[Dan Powers]

Where is Gen X?

[Evan]

So that us.

[Chris Powers]

No, no, no. Gen X would have been like mid-60s to very early 80s technically.

[Evan]

Right now, like.

[Chris Powers]

No, no, I'm talking about the years they were born from, like, from like 1965 to, like 1970.

[Dan Powers]

I'm confused. Our parents are gen. Are those are boomers. They are boomers. Yeah. And then we are the next generation. Right?

[Evan]

No, I think there's.

[Dan Powers]

There's one in between, I think. So those guys are X.

[Chris Powers]

Okay. Like, for example, my mom was born in 1950, but she had kids in 1973. 75, which would have been Gen X. Then she had my brother and I in the 80s, and I'm technically a millennial. So it depends on how early you start having kids.

[Evan]

Right.

[Dan Powers]

Okay. So people right now who are like, 50 are Gen X.

[Chris Powers]

Yes.

[Dan Powers]

Okay. Got it.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Thanks, guys.

[Chris Powers]

And they're probably fucking too.

[Dan Powers]

I was all twisted up there.

[Evan]

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

[Chris Powers]

I would say, I mean, look, the day you're not having sex, I think is Tuesday.

[Evan]

Yeah. So that's. Is that last. Is Tuesday last? I think maybe Monday. I.

[Dan Powers]

You know what? So I think Monday's a bad. I think Monday could actually be. I'm with ev. I think Monday could be higher than Tuesday because maybe you were such a bag of shit on Sunday that you were like, let's, like, let's get it back in gear here. Also Monday, you get up, you, you know, you try to get back into the swing of things. Maybe you get in the gym, you're a little fired up and you're like, I want to have a. I'm good. Let's get back.

[Evan]

Let's go.

[Dan Powers]

Let's get back on the horse.

[Chris Powers]

There's also holiday. A lot of holidays might extend into Monday too. So you might have Monday off.

[Dan Powers]

Good call.

[Evan]

Incredible. Incredible.

[Dan Powers]

Monday.

[Evan]

Not even in the conversation.

[Dan Powers]

Monday is so bad.

[Evan]

Monday is 100% right.

[Dan Powers]

Let me fucking talk. Monday is so bad that maybe you need the sex to make it better.

[Chris Powers]

Pick me up.

[Dan Powers]

But again, we're now to your point. During the week, we're talking all couples here who the hell is fucking when they're single? I guess if you're going on dates, but.

[Evan]

But that's, you know, you gotta. That's. You're hoping to get going on a

[Dan Powers]

Monday night date when you're single, and then nightmare you get. That's insane.

[Chris Powers]

It's not that hard.

[Dan Powers]

Well, it doesn't. All right, Casanova?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

It doesn't change the fact that you're. You're a wild. You're a wild person.

[Chris Powers]

I. I think Wednesday night date, like to like a karaoke bar.

[Dan Powers]

I think Wednesday's high.

[Evan]

I think Thursdays. Thursdays.

[Dan Powers]

Wednesday's High. I think Wednesday's a prevalent date night, but couples.

[Chris Powers]

Absolutely.

[Evan]

Colleges. Thursday. Thursday is Thursday. I think pumping those numbers up. So in the mix.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, they be all the time.

[Evan]

I know, but Thursday, dude.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, Thursday's a big one.

[Evan]

Thursday, Thursday.

[Dan Powers]

It's called Thursday Thursday for a reason.

[Evan]

Friday. What's your take on Friday? I think Friday is. It might be. It could obviously be as high as 2, but I think Friday numbers are lower than people think. I think everyone's tweaking about Friday and I'm like, dude, it's not that big of a number.

[Chris Powers]

I think that, like, you might be burnt out from the week.

[Evan]

People are.

[Chris Powers]

And maybe you get a little too. Like I've had inside, where like the plan is to come home and get sexual.

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

But you party with some friends, you get a whole.

[Dan Powers]

What positions. Exactly.

[Chris Powers]

What. I'm not getting into that here. You have to subscribe to the Patreon.

[Dan Powers]

That's the Patreon.

[Evan]

That's the Patreon.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, yeah. It's a good point.

[Evan]

I agree. People are about Friday. If you ripped on Thursday in college, you're like, oh, you know, whatever. It's like, I think Friday maybe is overhyped with the amount of sex you get. No. Well, I guess if you're out Thursday, though, maybe there's morning after Thursday night college people. College people doing it Thursday night and then doing it Friday morning you wake up in bed. That's interesting to me. Now I actually think Friday might be back up.

[Dan Powers]

So I think it goes Saturday 1. Yep. Again, this is. We're not doing the technicality. Saturday 1, you think Thursday 2.

[Evan]

I'm so high on Sundays, dude. And not to get. You don't have to revoke positions, but are you guys with significant others not banging Sunday nights?

[Chris Powers]

That's HBO night, brother.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

And then not doing it.

[Evan]

It's HB Bang.

[Chris Powers]

We're tired.

[Evan]

HB Bang, that's what we do.

[Dan Powers]

It's called Home Bang Office Dude. You're smashing on Sunday.

[Evan]

Sunday's like a lovely.

[Dan Powers]

I think a Sunday smash is great.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

But I think everyday Smash is great.

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

We watch Real Time with Bill Maher and then we bang. It's. That's not exactly a turn on.

[Evan]

Yeah, fair, fair, fair. So does Thursday clip Friday?

[Chris Powers]

I don't know.

[Evan]

Due to college maybe.

[Chris Powers]

If you're gonna include college.

[Evan]

Everybody. Everybody banging.

[Dan Powers]

No, we're not. Because they're. Well, I guess. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

College students aren't banging anymore.

[Dan Powers]

Are they Gen Z or are they Gen Alpha?

[Chris Powers]

If I know Anymore.

[Dan Powers]

I think Gen Alpha used to be

[Evan]

Thursday, too, but now it's Friday too.

[Dan Powers]

Gen Alpha better not be banging. I'm pretty sure they're young.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Too young for that.

[Dan Powers]

I don't know. We're never gonna agree on this, so we don't need to keep trying to rank. I'm torn. I think I'm gonna go Saturday 1. Me personally. Friday, too.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

And then I think I actually might go. I might go Wednesday.

[Evan]

That's insane.

[Dan Powers]

I think the mid. I think Wednesday's gonna be a midweek bump.

[Evan]

That's a fucking insane tump day.

[Dan Powers]

You think so?

[Evan]

I think so.

[Chris Powers]

Well, then, what's yours?

[Evan]

Thursday and Sunday. That's okay. Mine is Saturday.

[Dan Powers]

Your respect for Sunday is crazy.

[Evan]

Saturday, Friday, because of the Thursday mornings. That's what bumped Friday back after me. Saturday, Friday, Sunday, Thursday.

[Dan Powers]

Your Sunday rankings are wild.

[Evan]

Then Monday. Wednesday's interesting, but I love the holiday aspect. That's a real. That's a nice. That's a fucking nice wrinkle. It is Tuesday, Wednesday, Tuesday.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

I'm going.

[Dan Powers]

You're boosting Sunday and you're sleeping on Wednesday.

[Evan]

I might be sleeping on Wednesday.

[Dan Powers]

You're sleeping on Wednesday.

[Chris Powers]

He needs a midweep. I would go Saturday, Friday, Wednesday. We don't have sex on Sunday because it's the Lord's day.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

You're also not thinking about that. Think about how many Catholics there are.

[Evan]

Can Catholics not bang on Sunday? I don't know. I think that's completely.

[Dan Powers]

But I bet. No, you know that there's some Catholics who are like this. We are not fornicating on the Lord's day.

[Chris Powers]

Are you kidding? Catholics have, like 10 kids, a family.

[Dan Powers]

They're fucking all day. They do it all. They do it Monday through Saturday.

[Chris Powers]

It's work for them.

[Evan]

Most Christians believe sex is a God giving gift and making it holy on Sundays.

[Dan Powers]

So you should do it Sunday.

[Evan]

Yeah, I think. I think Sunday, they're fucking even more.

[Dan Powers]

Sunday's just bumped way up. Wow, that is so cool. Put a notch in the win column for Catholicism. They're advocating for fucking on Sunday.

[Evan]

It's a holy act. Literally.

[Dan Powers]

It's a holy. So go get holy. That's fucking awesome.

[Chris Powers]

Next time I try to get Christians,

[Dan Powers]

be fucking on Sunday, buddy.

[Chris Powers]

The next time I try to get it, I'm going to say, let's get holy, baby.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Sunday. Talk about he is risen.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

No, Sunday just fired up the rankings on the fucking charts.

[Chris Powers]

We just had Easter.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Heathens.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. People popping out eggs. Dude, that's Incredible. I love it. All right, let's wrap this episode up with a condom. Our condom. Because it's the Lord's day.

[Evan]

Actually.

[Dan Powers]

No, they hate condoms.

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

They don't know that. Wrapping off. All right, let's do a quick game. We're doing trivia factorial. CP is going to get five questions from me. First one is worth 10 points. Next eight, next six. Next four. Next two. If he guesses and gets it right, he gets the points on said question. If he guesses and gets it wrong, he gets no points.

[Evan]

Fuck. I got no points. One time. I suck at this game. But today, today we'd be better. Today we changed that. Today we get it.

[Dan Powers]

Are you ready? Yep. The answer is an NHL player. Question number one, worth 10 points. A two time NHL All Star while being drafted 11th overall by the Washington Capitals. He never once played a single professional game for Washington. He knows it. It's our first 10. I think I have it.

[Evan]

Okay, next.

[Dan Powers]

Okay, next. I actually think you could get it on this one. Wow. Question number two. Worth eight points. This active player is the all time leading goal scorer on his team with over 140 more goals than the next player. He's also second all time in points for his team.

[Evan]

So he's first all time in goals on his team.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Evan]

In their franchise history.

[Dan Powers]

Correct.

[Evan]

And it's 140 more than anybody. And he's second all time in points in franchise history.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, over 140 more than anybody else.

[Evan]

What is he? 141? Maybe.

[Dan Powers]

Maybe 143. Could be anywhere from 141 to 149. Otherwise I would have said 150.

[Evan]

Okay, this active player. Let me just deduce for a second here. This active player being the franchise's leading scorer makes me feel like they are either a fake legend and have been around forever or it's a new franchise who would have all the goals. Vegas doesn't even score. So like, I don't think it could be Stone and McCann. Like is he scoring that much more on Seattle? Okay, give me the next one. Okay, you should.

[Dan Powers]

In my opinion, you should get it on this one. Fuck, it takes me so long. Question number three, worth six points. He has a World Juniors mvp, a World Juniors gold medal and a World Championship gold medal for his home country of Sweden.

[Evan]

Ooh, sick. So he has a World Junior gold and mvp. And a World Championship gold and he's a forward, presumably. Okay, okay. Let me think about team Sweden. Lines really quickly. I'm never going to get the Capitals pick. Right? Like there's no way you would know that. Like, oh, I remember that guy was drafted by the Capitals. Like he never. Yeah, that's okay.

[Dan Powers]

I mean actually, frankly, in my opinion, there is a way you would know this. Interesting.

[Evan]

It was a trade. It's a big trade. Big trade.

[Dan Powers]

Willie

[Evan]

Raymond. No, obviously. Willy. No. Flip. Is it possible that Flip is the Predator's leading score? No stammer. No. I mean he's a fucking lightning.

[Dan Powers]

I was like, what?

[Evan]

I was just thinking of players that match with a lot of goals.

[Dan Powers]

I'm gonna need a guess or a move on.

[Evan]

Move on.

[Dan Powers]

You are a coward. Question number four, worth four points. A massive Liverpool FC fan. Fuck. This player's love for soccer led him to becoming a co owner of the local MLS team in his NHL city, Nashville fc.

[Evan]

Is this the two pointer have to do with a mustache?

[Dan Powers]

It sure does.

[Evan]

That's awesome. I didn't even know that. My guess is Philip Forsberg. Fuck. I had it at six. I should have gone with it.

[Dan Powers]

You did.

[Evan]

I weirdly did. When you said the trade. I weirdly did. Remember Flip getting a trade because he's

[Dan Powers]

a friend of the pod. Yeah, like we know you know that fact of him. Question 5 for 2 points. Almost as fun as his nickname, Flip, as dubbed by the Empty Nitters podcast is his league leading mustache. God.

[Evan]

And it is league leading. It sure is. Dan. That was a great one. I hope someone beat me in the comments because they had balls and we're ready to guess.

[Dan Powers]

I bet someone got that on question two. Yes, I think they did.

[Evan]

Which one was that one again?

[Dan Powers]

That was the leading points.

[Evan]

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Because yosi is one.

[Evan]

Yeah. Interesting. That's cool.

[Dan Powers]
