Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Playoff Vibes & The Hurricanes' Historic Run

• The Canes are up 3-0 on Philly and are threatening to start the playoffs 8-0, a feat last seen with the ’85 Oilers.
• The hosts and guests praise the Canes’ consistent depth, resilience, and adaptability over several years—crediting both their roster construction and franchise patience.
• [26:03] “The Carolina Hurricanes are a wagon. Juggernaut.” – Host A
• Debate ensues: Are the Canes simply outclassing weaker teams, or are they truly built different this year? Both hosts and guests believe in the Canes’ two-way excellence, discipline, and coaching despite playoff luck issues in prior years.

2. Norris Trophy Finalists & Evan Bouchard Snub

• Announced Norris finalists: Cale Makar, Zach Werenski, Rasmus Dahlin. Much debate over Evan Bouchard's omission.
• [05:37]: "I am shocked that he… he's not a finalist based on how this award is usually handed out." – Host B
• Examination of past Norris trends: usually a "points award," with winners often leading D-men in points.
• The hosts revisit their “Best Ability is Availability” doctrine, factoring missed games and contextualizing point totals.
• Deep dive into analytics: questioning the true value and interpretation of defensive analytics, eye test vs. models, and fan biases.
• [08:12] _"I think it is crazy town USA, crazy town Canada... Population Evan Bouchard, that he was not nominated." _– Host A
• Hosts ultimately support a new awards structure: a Bobby Orr Trophy (for points by D), Norris (best overall), and discussion on the virtues and pitfalls of further splitting awards.

3. Award Debates: Hart Trophy, Selke, Ted Lindsay

• Hart Finalists Reaction [77:26]:
  • Debate over snubs and the logic of voting based on MVP to team vs. best player overall.
  • Macklin (likely Celebrini) and his 115-point, 45-goal rookie year: clear consensus he deserved at least finalist status, but missing the playoffs hurt his case.
  • [81:04] "What we just saw from Leon and Connor, this Oilers team was bad this year to their standard. And Connor came in … he never faltered, he never stopped playing.... Unbelievable job." – Host A
  • Hosts agree: Even though the Hart’s definition is “most valuable to his team,” voting is inconsistent.
  • Ultimately, the hosts lean toward Connor McDavid as MVP, citing health, longevity, and absurd production after long playoff runs.

4. Special Teams & Game Analysis: Canes vs. Flyers

• The hosts, joined by Johnny Pace and the Seth Jarvis Crew, breakdown tactical nuances and moments from the Canes–Flyers series:
  • Praise for the Canes’ immediate responses to adversity.
  • Emphasis on "roll four lines" depth, timely scoring from non-stars, and a selfless, ego-free locker room.
  • [28:24] _"When Ottawa would score... the Canes would turn it up a notch... put them to bed." _– Host A
  • Goaltending rotation credit: Fresh Freddie Anderson (due to Brandon Bussi carrying regular-season load) may be key to Canes going the distance.

5. Carolina’s Approach to Management & Stability

• Discussion on patience from Carolina’s front office compared to places like Toronto:
  • The Canes resisted panic moves and stuck with GM and coaching staff—a big reason for continued progress and now, sustained playoff success.
  • [39:22] _"There is a semblance of luck that is needed to win a Stanley Cup … [but] Carolina has just stayed the course over these last seven or so years." _– Host A

6. Seth Jarvis Crew: Fan Perspective & On-the-Ground Stories

• The boys join live from Jarvis’ house, fresh off tailgates, siren cranking, and golf outings in Raleigh.
• They talk Canes’ depth, the "wagon" narrative, and bringing the vibes/fan support through all playoff rounds.
• Anecdotes about balancing school, travel, and watch parties, with plans for more YouTube/golf content this summer.
• [61:03] “We don’t want to jinx anything. But I know for sure, if they keep it up, we’ll be back [for Round 3].” – Seth Jarvis crew

7. Beer Vessel Design Game: NHL Team Mugs/Steins

• Hysterical, rapid-fire ratings and roast of 32 team-inspired beer mugs and vessels submitted by a listener (Dylan).
• Highs: Bruins "Right to Bear Arms" (giant bear-paw stein), Chicago "Chugahawk" (see-through tomahawk), Jets "Jet Fuel Helmet," Vegas "Night Cap" (wearable knight helmet).
• Lows: Panthers (terrifying rat skull), Ducks (awkward winged figurine), Flames (fire hose that ironically puts out fire).
• [84:53] "The right to bear arms. Bear arms. 10 out of 10. Absolutely. That is incredible." – Host A
• Outrageously funny aside: “Gas mask for alcoholics. That’s correct.” – Host A reacting to the Jets helmet, [105:04].

• On Norris Snubs:
  "For the last 10 years, this has felt like a points award… Boosh had 95 damn points. Not being nominated is crazy." – Host A, [08:40]

  “We’re not looking for the best players; we’re looking for the right ones. And I think [the Canes] have the right ones.” – Johnny Pace, [34:54]

  “Winning teams have depth, and that’s what it comes down to.” – Johnny Pace, [37:49]

[A]

Ice is ready. And we're back with another live episode of the MG Nighters podcast, brought to you by BetMGM. Coming at you on a Friday. And wouldn't you know it, CP got lost in the sauce again.

[B]

I'm wearing the same clothes I was wearing.

[A]

I. No one knew that. You didn't have to let them know.

[B]

I'm literally everything I recorded in yesterday, I am recording in today.

[A]

We didn't record yesterday.

[B]

Yes, we did.

[A]

No, we didn't.

[B]

We did. We did an interview. We did an interview.

[A]

We did do an interview.

[B]

And I'm wearing.

[A]

But again, that interview's not out until Monday.

[B]

But I. I wouldn't want people to think, why is he wearing on Monday?

[A]

They would have never thought that. You have outed yourself for absolutely no reason.

[B]

I'm literally wearing the same clothes I woke up in on Thursday morning.

[A]

But, you know, we are always. We're always authentic, and I appreciate you being authentic. Oh, no, dude.

[B]

That's a two Gatorade morning.

[A]

I saw that when you came in with the Deuce Gatorade poll. I was like, wow, Utah, give me two. Give me two.

[B]

Holy shit, dude.

[A]

I appreciate the move by Shit. We. We had a little work sesh last night, folks. We went out, went to Jameson here in Santa Monica. Went out with the whole sports department, had a little celebratory hang. The boys were there, and the boys are not having two gatos. Who do you blame for this? Yourself?

[C]

Yeah, we. We were just fine.

[A]

Look at everyone.

[C]

It was Thursday.

[A]

Everyone here is okay. What do you have to say for yourself?

[B]

I blame. I blame myself. I blame the organization. I blame the organization.

[C]

You blame the organization?

[B]

I blame the people. I blame the people that I surround myself with. And I blame locks, because I did. I was sitting up bidding on otani cards till 3am Eating takeout, but you got a few. I got three. I got three Ohtanis, and I got a belly full of boneless wings.

[A]

Yeah, that can't feel good.

[B]

And I want to die.

[A]

That's got to be churning in there like Laffy Taffy. Not feeling good.

[B]

I want to die.

[A]

Yeah, you're going to have ring sting on the way out.

[B]

Yo, dude, don't even. Don't even say that. I can't hear you say it's.

[A]

It's coming for you, pal.

[B]

Can hear you say that. You know, and it's like when you hear a. You know, the day after a big drinking day and someone says, like, literally just says the word tequila shot, and

[A]

you're like, yeah, that's what just did that.

[B]

You just did that to me about food.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Don't talk to me about food.

[A]

It's rare that that happens with food. Usually it's a product of food poisoning, but this time it's just drunk eat.

[B]

No, this was food poisoning. I've been poisoned.

[A]

I think you. I think you poisoned yourself.

[B]

I've been poisoned.

[A]

And then you added food on top of it. And that's not the food's fault.

[B]

It's your fault.

[A]

You, Chris, got caught in the happy hour spin cycle.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Where they were like, two for one drinks.

[B]

Two for one.

[A]

So every time the lovely server came by and she was like, can I get you anything? Chris was like, I'll do two Sun Cruisers. And you drank both. You could have given them to other people.

[C]

But also those peanut butter shots too. You factor those in there.

[A]

I am so convinced. I love Jameson so much, but I am so convinced that there's nothing. There's no alcohol in there.

[B]

Oh.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

It's just liquefied peanut butter.

[C]

It's a blended peanut butter cup. It's great.

[B]

It's great. I gave the voice.

[A]

The boys, it's like they need to stop marketing them as whiskey. They just need to be like this. Want a little peanut butter pickup.

[C]

Like, it's like when you go. You know when you go to Universal and you get the butterbeer.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm always like, we need alcohol.

[A]

How good is butterbeer?

[D]

It is.

[C]

But, dude, I can have like five sips and I'm like, I'm out.

[A]

Yeah, it's a lot. It is a lot.

[B]

So much you got. Do you do that?

[A]

You get the hot butterbeer with some fire whiskey in it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Now we're cooking with gas.

[C]

I've only had the cold, so. Because it was a hot ass day.

[A]

Yeah, it usually is up there in the valley. Dude, it's true.

[B]

You gave me a great idea that J. Jameson should serve the peanut butter shot as a chaser to your actual shot.

[A]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like a pickleback, but it's a butterback.

[B]

Here's your whiskey shot and then bang. Here's your P butt.

[A]

It's a butterback.

[B]

It's a Butterback.

[E]

That's really good.

[F]

That's really good.

[A]

You get a shot of whiskey and then a shot of peanut butter. Zach, tell me that's not the best idea you ever heard.

[D]

That is sounds like a great idea. And low key. Those peanut butter shots were fantastic last night.

[A]

As well, though, they're incredible.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[A]

But I don't think there's any booze in them.

[B]

There isn't.

[A]

There might not be. All right, folks, we had a bit. We only had one game last night. Canes go up 30 on the Flyers. Tough sledding for Philly. We've got two games tonight. We've got awards stuff to discuss and some drinking stuff. We've got some drinking stuff. Do you want to start with the drinking stuff?

[B]

Because I think we're still making the pictures, so we can't.

[A]

Just kidding. That wasn't even an idea I was actually considering.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

Should we start with award stuff?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

All right. We're going to start with award talk, folks. We have the three Norris finalists that were announced and then just this morning on the way in.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. This is why a 9am start on the west coast is great, because some news comes in, good news on the way in. We have our heart finalists that have been. That's the mvp. For those who aren't paying attention at home, let's talk Norris. The three Norris finalists. Three unbelievable years. Cale McCarr, I believe this is now his sixth Norris finalist. It might be seven.

[B]

That's good, Dan. I didn't know that.

[A]

Zach Warrensky and Rasmus Dahleen. Again, three unbelievable seasons out of this world. The big omission. The point leader for all defensemen, Evan Bouchard. We gotta break it down. We gotta discuss.

[B]

I am shocked that he. I'm legitimately shocked he's not a finalist based on how this award is usually handed out. Now. I think that I had said if he gets to mid-90s and no one else is even close, he will. He will flat out win it.

[A]

Yeah. And he finished 92, right?

[B]

No, 95. I think it was 95. He finished with 95 points.

[A]

95 and goals.

[B]

And Zach Marinski was 8. 81 in second, which is an incredible season for Z, by the way.

[A]

Everyone keeps conveniently omitting the seven games less played. Yep, everyone's like, he had 14 more points than the next guy. And I'm like, well, they all played seven games less. And what's interesting, Chris, is Bush, Warrensky, Kale. Yep, that's it. Are all over point per game. So when it is for. For both Kale and Warensky, they had seven games less. So you could assume that they would have had at least one point in. So it would have only been about seven. If we're. If we're going to play that game, we need to acknowledge that Kale and Warrensky played seven games less than Bush

[B]

and I think they don't do that enough for the forwards too. Like Cooch played. I forget what it is but like I think like 7 less games than Conor too.

[A]

But you know what? I'm actually, I'm going to call myself out here because I've never thought about this because I feel like I always. When there's less games played, I'm always like, you got to factor that in. Maybe that's a detriment because the best ability is availability.

[B]

And.

[A]

And that means that they weren't available for seven games.

[B]

And to bring it back, Boosh was

[A]

available for all 82. And to bring it back to the

[B]

Eichel thing, when our first shrimp bet ever, you were like. I was like, he's going to have this many points. And then he didn't. But I was like, but Dan, he did because he was that point per game. And you were like, but he didn't. Yes, because he's not.

[A]

Wasn't available.

[B]

And these guys had 14 less. They contributed to 14 less blue jackets goals. Yeah, because.

[A]

And if you want to really get nitty gritty for the Blue Jackets, I'm like, well, if he had played those seven games.

[B]

I know, I know.

[A]

Would they have made playoffs?

[B]

So.

[A]

And again, that's not his fault.

[B]

Yep. So I. I had said he will win it. The way they hand have handed out this award in the past, he will flat out win if he has a huge gap in points and finished mid mid 90s. Not only did he not win it, Dan, he's not even a finalist.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Now I said I'm shocked that the voters went that way. Me personally, I don't hate it though because it's not a point award. We've said this a million times, but the.

[A]

All right, I have a lot of takes here and I think maybe some Edmonton fans are going to be surprised with how loving and sensitive I'm going to be about this. I think it is crazy town usa Crazy town Canada. Population Evan Bouchard that he was not nominated because for the last 10 years at least this has felt like a point award.

[B]

Oh my God, dude. It literally feels like just who has the most punches.

[A]

Give it to him. It is felt. Can you get up right now? The last 10 Norris Trophy winners. Someone actually tweeted it recently and it was like going through the last 10 Norris winners where they ranked on the points list for defenseman and it's actually not always number one. I shit, I wish I had Saved that because it was a fantastic tweet.

[B]

I can do this, but I can do this.

[A]

I think it was Drew living, Scott. Drew.

[B]

So great.

[A]

I love Drew's work.

[B]

Okay, this is going to be slow and steady, but just let me work here. Last year, winner, Kale. Point leader, Kale.

[A]

Okay. Oh, wow. You are. You're. You are going to do this, and it is going to be slow and steady. I appreciate this.

[B]

Year before that, winner Quinn. Point leader Quinn.

[A]

Okay, so last two, it's been. Not this year hasn't been awarded yet. So the last two were the point leaders.

[B]

Year before that, Eric Carlson. Point leader, Eric Carlson.

[A]

Carlson. So three in a row.

[B]

101, by the way.

[A]

Yeah, that was crazy.

[B]

Which is dirty work.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Winner before that, Cale Makar. Point leader, Roman Yossi.

[A]

There you go. And Caleb was. Cale was what, two?

[B]

Yeah. Okay, so it is 96 to 86, though.

[A]

Interesting. So it has either been first or second for four straight years. Yep.

[B]

Year before that, point leader. Incredible. That is so good. Year before that, Adam Fox.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Tyson Berry, 48 points.

[A]

Fucking right, Tyson.

[B]

I forgot he did that. Adam Fox, 47.

[A]

So only one point off.

[B]

One point.

[A]

Okay, so five years in a row, either first or second.

[B]

Year before that, point leader, John Carlson. Winner, Roman Yossi.

[A]

And Yos was two.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Six years in a row, either first or second.

[B]

Yep. But that's three years in a row. Second.

[A]

Yeah, true.

[B]

Which is nice. Year before that, Brent Burns.

[A]

Come on, Burnsy.

[B]

Year before that, Mike Giordano. That he was two.

[A]

Okay, all right, you can stop.

[B]

Four years in a row.

[A]

Two.

[B]

Three years in a row. One. Last three. Have been one. Four years before that, second.

[A]

So seven years. And we could have kept going on. For the purpose of the live show, we're gonna keep it moving. Seven years in a row, it has either been first or second place in points. Now, what's interesting, Chris, is it might still be that this year, if Kale wins, it will be. Or if Zach wins, which I think Zach should win it, it'll be the second place guy. So that'll be eight years in a row.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The fact that Boosh is not nominated, I think is crazy because of how it has been given over the last 10 years. Yeah, very much feels like a. Whoever is the flashiest, biggest point guy. Whatever. This is what's interesting about this. We have all of these saber metrics and deep analytics cards that people are pulling out on all these different websites, which are great. All these different sites. It's awesome. But a lot of these Sites, I think, and I'm saying this with ignorance because I'm not entirely sure. I obviously look at a lot of these things. The win against replacement stuff, the defensive rating stuff. Sometimes I am genuinely, I'm like, how are you measuring this? And it's obviously various calculations of like goals against when you're on the ice, high danger chances. But then there's always the question of like, what's a high danger chance? Who is making up what is a high danger chance and what's not. I also think win against replacement is. Is kind of difficult team to team. Because I'm like, I mean that that changes team to team. It changes who your opponents are. This, that and the other huge part of this is just eye test. Say what you will. A lot of There's a weird rivalry between Colorado fans and it used to be Vancouver fans, now it's Minnesota fans and Edmonton fans in the defensive space because you have Kale and Quinn. Boosh had a major year and everyone loves their guy.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

That's not weird though, right?

[A]

I think it's funny that there are rivalries between fan bases because of players.

[B]

Well, it's like Sid Novi, like, I think people were like, yeah, but they're

[A]

in the same division. Sure, Minnesota, Colorado makes sense.

[B]

But I think that happened anywhere.

[A]

I'm not saying it doesn't make sense. Yeah, I think it's maybe weird was the wrong word. I think it's funny.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

A lot of Colorado fans were popping online after Bush got snubbed and they were doing the whole. They were like, he is a power play merchant. He's a secondary assist merchant. He lives off of Connor and Leon and he would be a 50 point guy at most. Without those guys. We can never know if that's true so long as they are all on the same team. At the end of the day, he had the year he had and he had 95 fucking points. Not being nominated is crazy. If I had a vote, I would not vote for him to win. I think it is shocking that he's not in. But then at the same time I look at Warrenski, Kale and Darlene and I'm like, you guys were awesome. Like I love those picks and I think Darlene's defensive game has stepped up so drastically this year and clearly they won the Atlantic in huge part because of that. Yeah. And so I love that pick. I think Warrensky and Kale are two of the best. I think they are one, two, frankly, in my opinion, with Quinn being right in there as well as like the best two way overall defenseman in the league.

[B]

And dude, it's, it's a tricky, I mean, the whole awards thing is tricky because you go, the fact that we

[A]

had three defensemen with 20 goals is so sick.

[B]

Yes, that is extremely sick. But it's a tricky thing because you go like, you know, Conor could win MVP every year.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

If you want, he's the best player. But you're like, well, it matters to your team, whatever. And we are making such. Not we, but people are making such a fuss about Boosh just because he had 95 points not being named Norris finalist. And I'm like, Quinn Hughes is arguably one of the best.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Is arguably the best defenseman playing.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Timber Kale. Right. Theoretically, most people are kind of saying that. And I'm like, he, he's not nominated.

[A]

I know.

[B]

So I don't think you should be making that much of a fuss. You should go, listen, there are, there are great defensemen in the league right now.

[A]

Quinn being a Dash 4 this year is shocking.

[B]

Yeah. But that was probably a lot of Vancouver.

[A]

That is so funny to think about. I, we need to find that, like, what was his plus minus by his last day in Vancouver. Yeah, that is so funny to think about. Good point. But I mean, listen, I, I, I'm thrilled with the three finalists. I think Boosh got done dog. I, me too. I think he been dog.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

But I mean, at the end of the day, we talked about it in playoffs. Like, I think in that series, Evan Bouchard had the second worst defensive rating of anyone on the ice.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And like, that's what people always point.

[B]

I did. I think that shit matters. They always go. Playoffs don't matter to the voters. And maybe they vote before and they just announced this now, but I swear to God, they're like, playoffs don't matter. It doesn't get. Dude, it's like in a courtroom when a lawyer will be like this thing that is completely defending my client but completely illegal. And the judge, the other attorney's like, objection.

[A]

And the judge is like, yes, it's called inadmissible evidence.

[B]

Yeah. And they're like, jury, jury. You didn't see that. Pretend you didn't see that. And I'm like, yeah, well, they saw it.

[A]

So the fact, Yeah, I have a, I have a new take on this. We've talked about this so many times that we need a Norris trophy and we need a Bobby. Or you give one to the best defensive defenseman, one to the best offensive defenseman. I have. I have a long time. I've been in support of that and I'm now just realizing I.

[B]

Yes, Brennan.

[A]

I don't think I want that anymore. Oh. What's interesting is we kind of have that for forwards. Right. You have the Selkie, but you don't have a best offensive forward award. Right. Like, unless you're going to call the Rocket that.

[B]

Yeah, I guess you probably are calling the Rocket.

[A]

You could call it that. And then also the. The points leader award.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Is like Ross.

[D]

The.

[A]

The. The Ross. Is that. So maybe we do.

[B]

I guess we do have it.

[A]

I. Okay, so my argument is if I were a guy like Kale or Warrensky.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

This year and you had the OR and the Norris, I would be like, fuck that. I'm the best overall defenseman. Like, get. I. I should there. Because if you. If you're gonna make the the or, then I would hear the argument that, like. And then you also need a best overall.

[B]

Yeah. Because you're. You wouldn't want to go just because I won.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Or the point 1. Is that what you're saying?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

If you. You wouldn't want to go, like, just because I won the or, now I can't win the Norris.

[D]

Yeah, exactly.

[B]

I don't think they. Well, I guess they could just give you both, but I.

[A]

Well, I. I think there's a world where that would happen sometimes. But it's like this year you could make the argument that if you had the Bobby Orr, you had the Norris, and then you have like the Nick Lidstrom.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And you go, and the Lidstrom is the best overall. You could be like, okay, Bouchard wins the or. Yeah, the. The Norris goes to. I don't even know if it'd be one of these guys. It might be like, I mean, Slaven didn't play enough this year, but like, you give it to the best defenseman and then the best overall is Morensky. Yeah. But the argument is like, if you're going to win best overall, you must have to win one of the other two. Right.

[B]

Dude, I think it actually would be cool to just have the Norris and then one of them is the Art Ross for D. Like, literally. And it's. It's not even a vote thing.

[A]

It's just like, that is.

[B]

Congratulation.

[A]

That is the answer.

[B]

You. You were the highest scoring defenseman this year. Here's your trophy.

[A]

That is absolutely the answer.

[B]

There's no voting hungover CP Just. Here you go.

[A]

How about that? Ev.

[C]

What? Yes.

[A]

Instead. Yeah, you like it. We, we.

[C]

I was definitely paying attention.

[A]

We institute the Bobby OR award.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

But it's not the best offensive defenseman. It's just the Art Ross for defense.

[B]

This takes the voting out of it just you had the most points.

[C]

So it's like the defensive with the highest points gets.

[A]

That gets the Bobby or trophy. And it's not voted. It's just like, yeah, we're going to. We're going to now acknowledge whichever defenseman had the most points. Because that shouldn't mean you are the Norris winner. That will take that away.

[B]

But it should mean congratulations.

[A]

Exactly. Because like here Carlson had one on one. The guy was like dash 37.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

I think it might have been worse. Can you find. You just found that. Scroll to the year that he had the most points.

[B]

Who?

[A]

Eric Carlson. The year he won the Norris as the best defenseman in the NHL when he had 101 points, which was remarkable playing for the Sharks. His plus minus was like. You can do it.

[F]

Yes.

[B]

His plus minus was dash 26.

[A]

26. Like you had 101 points yourself and you were still a dash 26. I don't think that that can be the best defenseman of the year.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

But it would have been great if that year they went, you win the OR trophy because you had 100 points. That was amazing. Now we will give the Norris to who was the best defenseman of the year.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

That's how we figure this out. Crack the case.

[B]

So somebody in the chat, Brennan Quinn was. He ended Vancouver dash 10 and was plus 6 with the wild

[A]

dash 10.

[B]

Yep. Fuck.

[A]

Brennan, by the way. Fuck.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You're the man.

[B]

What a fine.

[A]

Thank you for that. That's. Yeah, I like it. That, that checks out.

[B]

That checks out.

[A]

Yeah. Checks out.

[B]

Okay. Does. Does Pacer want to talk the game?

[A]

Pacer will talk anything.

[B]

Okay. So I think Dan, then we go. Because some people in the chat are. I mean there's no Philly fans in the chat probably today, but the Keynes fans in the chat want the game asap. So maybe we bring in Pacer or, or we just go. And then Pacer can join later. But let's give them some game and then we'll come back for heart and drinking. Okay.

[A]

And when do you want Pacer to join in?

[B]

That's if he, he, if he wants to talk game, he can come right now.

[A]

Let's get Pacer into talk game and

[B]

if he doesn't want to talk game, he don't have to. We can do. We can talk game and then he can come in or. Actually, do the boys want to talk game?

[A]

We don't. The boys can't come on till 10.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

So, I mean, if. If we got. If the Canes fans are frothing at the mouth already.

[B]

They. They are. They are.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Let's get Pacer in now, then, because we're gonna bring Pacer, and we'll get the boys on. Listen. Oh, I also got some text from

[A]

JP about this, too.

[B]

The Carolina Hurricanes

[A]

are a wagon Juggernaut.

[B]

Yeah, they are the Juggernaut. Remember wagon? That moment in time when the GI Joe cartoons.

[A]

GI Joe.

[B]

This is, like, before memes. But they were memes. And the Juggernaut. The juggernaut.

[A]

There's no way that was before memes, dude.

[B]

It kind of was like those. Everybody was, like, making juggernaut jokes. They even did that in the movie Memory. Remember that thing that was like, I'm the juggernaut, bitch.

[A]

I'm the Juggernaut.

[B]

And then he says it.

[A]

That was an X Men.

[B]

Yeah, he says it in the movie, right? Yeah. That's insane.

[A]

But why did you just make a X Men reference when we're talking G.I. joe?

[B]

Well, those G.I. joe videos were, like, nice catch, Blanco Nino.

[A]

I don't think those are memes, though.

[B]

That's what I'm saying. Those are, like, four memes.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. That was, like, the days of, like, break.com and YouTube.

[B]

Yeah, like, that was that.

[A]

That was when we were watching, like, executions online and, like, really, really weird.

[C]

I used to [e-mail] for a long.

[A]

Are you kidding me?

[C]

Yeah, it was a horrible job.

[B]

It must have been hilarious.

[C]

It was. It was. We. We did this prank that is.

[A]

That is crazy.

[C]

We did this prank. We got kicked out of a hotel because we did this prank where we were, like, pretending to, like. On one side, we had these people that were doing a presentation for, like, house cleaners that you can, like, bring over from foreign countries. And then we, like, zoomed into a hotel where we played these Russian people with, like, two women, scantily clad. And everybody in the focus group was like, is this just human trafficking? And we're like, no, no, no, no, no. What you do is you pay for this person to live in your house and do your cleaning, and they're like, that's human trafficking. That was the whole prank. That was maybe the only funny thing we did.

[A]

Yeah, that's classic. That's a pretty dark, classic comedy.

[B]

So, yeah, dude, the canes are juggernaut because Philly. Philly felt like damn near should have won game two for their chances in overtime. Yeah, now you're coming home. Home. Serious doesn't start till home team loses. All they got to do is win a couple games and you're. You're right in the mixer. Yeah, they're playing a good first period and.

[F]

Yes.

[A]

Pacer, wait, hold on. I gotta put my headphones on.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Pacer, can you hear me? Okay, I'm just gonna keep talking. So chat. You can hear me. We are going to be joined here by Johnny Pace, our dear buddy, one of the hockey guys who looks utterly fantastic right now in his Blue Jays cap.

[B]

Yeah, so anyway, I see a mute

[A]

muted button there for us, Zach. Is that why he can't hear me?

[B]

Kane's absolutely. The Philly plays a great first period. Kane's gonna late power play, bang Jordan Stahl and dude, I think that makes.

[A]

Can you hear us now, Pacer? Okay, hold on one second, Pacer. We're just. We're getting your audio through our headphones in two seconds and then I'll be able to hear you. But I don't know. You can hear me now. I was just talking. You look fantastic. You've got.

[F]

You boys are too kind. Are you kidding me, dude, those are the best looking guys in the game.

[A]

You got the. You got the black Jays cap on with the black hoodie. It's just the. The backdrops. Fantastic. Where are you right now?

[F]

I'm at my parents house right now.

[A]

Actually, I. You know what? Based on the china cabinet, I was going to guess you were at mom and dad's house for being honest.

[F]

Oh, yeah. We got some prized possessions back here, boys. We got. We got some stuff from Italy.

[E]

I don't know.

[F]

I'm not allowed to touch any of that, though.

[A]

Oh, yeah, no chance. Dude, if you got caught eating on that stuff, you'd be skinned alive.

[B]

That's my favorite part about the nice china. That's my favorite part about the nice china, Pacer. No one ever eats off of it. Like it just sits in the cabinet the whole time. You can't. You can't use it 100%.

[F]

I'd be buried under the pool if I touched it.

[A]

Oh, God. All right, Pacer, we, we brought you in. We're talking canes, Flyers right now. Canes obviously go up 3, 0. I don't know if you're aware of this stat was. I was actually getting curious. First time someone's gone 7, 0 in the playoffs since 94 when the Rangers did it.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[A]

And then I Believe. I don't know if it's the only time, but the last time someone has gone eight. No back to back sweeps round one two was 85 Oilers.

[B]

Yeah, the 85 Oilers.

[A]

So the Canes got a chance. Here's my question for you, dude. Are you. Are you vibing with the Canes? Like, I am. Like, do you think this is real? Do you think they're different than they've been in the past?

[F]

I. I kind of am, boys, because I. I just think they've been a wagon for, like, the last three years or so, and they've never kind of got what they deserve. And now I think. I think it's finally paying off for them. And I will give some credit to Philly. Like, Philly has a great team tip. It's still out. Am I right?

[A]

Yep. Believe so.

[F]

Tips. And I. I did love, at the end of the game, you're down three nothing. You start a little line brawl. I kind of love that. You know, you're going down swinging, going down with a little there. But I got to give it to the Canes. Like, those guys. Those guys are warriors. Like, honestly, it's.

[A]

I. Dude, I couldn't agree more. Like, I. I kept saying to CP in the Ottawa series, it felt like the Canes were just kind. I keep using the term playing with their food, and that's. I don't. I don't think that that's quite accurate. I think that's a little harsh for the. For the Senators, but they just, like, always kept it close. And then when Ottawa would score or show a little fight, the Canes would turn it up a notch and be like, okay, go away and just put them to bed. And it's like. Felt. Felt like the same in this game. It was like, they score first on that peeper. That was unbelievable. I want to talk about that power play, because I. I'll have more to say about that later. But they score. Philly ties it. Nice Es goal. Then they pretty quickly get the lead back on a shorty. And then it was just like, you know, letting Philly kind of stay alive for a bit in the third. And then they were like. And let's just step on the throat now. And I was like, jesus Christ, this is crazy.

[F]

And I think that's so important when a team knows how to respond like that. The next shift after a goal against is the most important thing. And the Canes know. Know how to take advantage of that. They're like, all right, boys. Yeah, they got one. Whatever. Let's respond and that's what they've been doing. And it's been pretty evident.

[B]

Dude, here's my question. I was trying to cruise through the seasons, the Canes. My only concern about the Canes is in these last few years, because Pacer, you were just saying they've been so good, but they haven't quite got what they've deserved.

[A]

Which is.

[B]

Which would be a finals appearance and. And you know, a Stanley cup, certainly. It does feel like as I go through their seasons, though, they have these dominant playoff performances. Right. Until they hit the good team.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then they immediately lose. And with respect to Ottawa, who I thought would give them a bit, who did give them a fight because those are close games. But then at Philly, who kind of upset the Penguins, I am worried that we're doing the same dance with this team. They feel different to me, but I'm just worried we're doing the same dance where they go, wow, we swept Ottawa, we swept Philly. And then you catch Buffalo or Montreal, who's. Who looks like a fucking good team, who by the way, was like three or five points less than them maybe in the regular season. And then they're going to lose and then everyone's going to go, oh my God, I can't believe I got tricked again.

[A]

That's my concern, dude. Pacer, my. My question for you is because, like, great point by CP and I was doing one of our hockey talks last Sunday and someone said, which I thought was a great question. I mentioned this on, on a live episode like on Wednesday or something. Someone was like, is this Cane's team actually good or have they not played that great of competition yet? Which is fair. I mean, it's like you look at Ottawa, they were a wild card team, they swept them. You look at Philly, they were third in the Met, but close to a wild card team. They're up 3 0. They certainly haven't played the competition that Montreal Buffalo have have faced. But at the same time, there's a part of me that's like, when you're fucking sweeping teams, I don't give a shit. Like, a sweep's a sweep, a second round sweep, which hasn't happened yet, but it's looking like it is a second round sweep. And my thing has been. Was Brandon Bussey the answer all along, dude? Because while he hasn't played in the playoffs, I think something that's happened in the third round with this Canes team over the last few years is Freddie Anderson gets tired. But Bussy played a lot this Year. Yeah. Maybe Freddie is fresh because of Bussy.

[F]

Honestly, I. I could see that. I agree with you, actually. It's funny. Me and my boys were making the jokes here because he's. Freddy's been playing. Unbelievable, by the way. And we were making the jokes. If he was wearing a blue sweater like he used to, I think those goals would have gone in, to be honest. We were so pissed. We're like, are you kidding me? It's just the classic tale of any leaf that leaves is they have just so much more success anywhere else. It's true. But no, a fresh goalie. You know, when you're. And that's all coaching too, like, you got to know how to use your guys. And when you're. When you know you're making the playoffs, when you know you're making this run, rest up your guys. And I think that's so important, and I think that's why Freddie's kicking.

[B]

Well, dude, just a little stat guy. Stat guy. CP for you guys. Come on. Give me right now, Freddy, dude. 995-710-2 performance with two shutters. 957. State percentage, 1.02 goals against. Which is insane and would not be happening in a maple leaf jersey, but no.

[F]

No, it wouldn't. He made this one save in the first round and literally the boys and I are at the bar, we're watching. We're like, oh, yeah, that. That's a goal in a Leafs uniform for sure. Like, doesn't matter.

[B]

Ridiculous. But Dan, listen to this. Regular season games played by Freddy this year. This year.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

35.

[A]

That's what I'm saying, dude.

[B]

Incredible regular season games played by Freddie last year.

[A]

Don't say it.

[B]

22 regular season games played by Freddie. The year before that. 16.

[A]

16.

[B]

Yeah. Like he's been. This is the most tired the man has ever been in his life.

[A]

No, but he was battling crazy injuries.

[B]

I'm just telling you. Yes. This is the most tired he's ever been.

[A]

No, no, no, no. You're dead.

[C]

You're.

[A]

He's as good as dead. It. You're wrong.

[B]

He might fall asleep in the crease. You're literally might be asleep.

[A]

You're wrong because he was. When he was missing all those games, he was never healthy. He was battling injury and it's tiring. Battling injury.

[B]

Oh, true.

[A]

This year he was healthy while Bussy was carrying the torch for a while. So he was able to rest.

[B]

He was. He slept peacefully.

[A]

He has never had this peaceful rest because he's never had this good of a teammate. No offense to Pyotr Kochetkov.

[B]

He goes, I love Bussy.

[A]

Bussy is. Bussy is his best friend.

[B]

Yep. Okay.

[A]

It's unbelievable.

[B]

I think that he looks awesome. And the Canes. You said it, Pacer. The Canes look. They always look smothering, but they just look so unfazed. Like, when Philly scores that goal, they're not like, oh, everything seems fine in Carolina, where in the past it's been like, there are. There are times when I think they have chances. I look back to that Ranger series a couple of years ago when they lost in the second round, where I'm like, oh, my God, you had so many chances and you just weren't getting the bounces. This time, it's the exact opposite. Oh, Philly gets a power play with the tie game. Bang. Here's a shorty down your throw. All those moments I have. I have felt like, have been lacking in the past, where now they. They do feel like killers. And I gotta say, another Ehlers goal fired me up so much because we were like, is this. Again, not. I'm saying he's a mega star, but is this guy enough of a star to be the difference?

[A]

Dude, Pacer, you and I talked about this this summer when Shout Out. Me, I broke the Nikolai Ehlers signing with Carolina News. But we. We always talk about how, like, the Canes, they're a big knock on them, has been like, they don't have a star. But what do you think about the shape of this team with how many. When you look at guys like Aho, guys like Jarvie, guys like Ehlers now joining that group. And then you also have these, like, perennial playoff performers like Stahl, Martinook, all these guys, and they're great defense. Do you think it's like, who gives a shit if they don't have a clear worldy superstar because they are so deep?

[F]

Yeah, I think it goes back to the old saying, and I. I believe it was way back. Her brook said, you know, we're not looking for the best players. We're looking for the right ones. And I think they have the right ones. And I think it starts at the top. And Brenda Moore is not letting these guys hit the panic button when something goes wrong. Hockey, in the NHL especially, teams capitalize on mistakes. You're bound to make mistakes. That happens. The fact that they're just playing it cool right after and responding the right way, they don't have these egos, they don't have these superstars, you know, they don't have The Crosbys, the McDavid's, the McKinnon's? No, nowhere even near that. But they have the right players and it's so evident in their play.

[A]

Dude, I think that's so well said. And something that points exactly to that. Svetchnikov scored his first goal of the playoffs last night.

[B]

I was right about to say that.

[A]

Dan Jarvey scored his first goal of the playoffs in game two, I believe it was. Yes, it was two. And you don't hear that same shit. That's like when these other teams, like, you know, through a couple of games against L. A when people were like, oh, my God, Nate and Kale don't have a point yet. They were winning and we were here and all that. When Connor's not scoring in Edmonton, all that. All you hear about is, Connor, Connor, Connor. You never hear that with this team. It's like, Jarvi, Swetch, Aho, Ehlers, like all these guys, none of them have five, six goals. I think Stank is leading the team with four goals. Four or five for sure. And it's like, like that's what's beautiful. When you have this fucking phenomenal of roster composition and you're this deep, it doesn't fall on one guy. And we are seeing the benefits of that. With exactly what Pacer just said of like the pressure, the noise, the panic button, it's not really being hit. And obviously when you're. When you've won seven games of seven games, there's not a lot of panic. But it's like the in game stuff. No one's freaking out when Svetch didn't have a goal yet.

[B]

Well, it's a luxury, right, Svetch? I think Jarvi had 32, Svetch had 31. Those. They were your leading goal scorers on the team. And Laura in the chat just said fetch. Getting one was so huge. Finally getting on the board. Yeah. It is a luxury. It is a luxury in the playoffs when your team goes, hey, we're we where we can. And they're contributing. I know, Jarvis, a bunch of assists, but we can pick you up. We can keep winning because I know you will. You will get going because you are that good. Whereas Dan, maybe a Boston Bruins team goes, hey, Pasternock, if you're not scoring, we are out. Period.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

So. So the. But. But the Canes get to go, hey, Jarvi. Hey, svetch, you had 31 talks this year. You don't have. You have not scored in playoffs. Yeah, don't worry. We we won't panic because we will win. We will keep winning, but get going. Yes. And then now you get the luxury of Jarvey and Fetch getting going, and now you become. They become even scarier, right, Pacer, if. Those guys are cooking now, 100% and

[F]

winning teams have depth, and that's what it comes down to.

[E]

If, If.

[F]

If your third and fourth lines aren't going and picking up the slack, you're. You're in a lot of trouble there.

[A]

100%, dude. All right, this. I have this question for you. We were having this conversation with someone in the organization, and I thought it was one of the smartest things I've heard in a long time. Carolina has been the butt of the joke for the last several years with their Eastern Conference final losses, the whole. They got swept. Rod says that didn't feel like a sweep. Blah, blah, blah, all that shit. There is a argument here from someone in the organization, which I loved, that they have a great gm, they have a great coach, they have a great roster with phenomenal. There's. I don't think there's any better contract construction in the league than Carolina.

[B]

Dallas, maybe.

[A]

Maybe. But, like, even with Dallas, you got big contracts with rank. So the argument is there is a semblance of luck that is needed to win a Stanley Cup. You obviously need a good team, you need good players, you need a good coach, but you need luck along the way, whether it be guys not getting injured, puck luck in games. Every team that has won a Stanley cup has had luck along the way. And for the last several years, Carolina hasn't had that luck. But what other teams do, when you have a good coach and good GM and you don't get that luck, is sometimes they panic and they fire GMs, they fire coaches, and the next thing you know, you lose in the first round or you don't even make playoffs. Like, look at Toronto. They were one win away from beating. Not. Not picking on Toronto, but, like, one went away beating Florida. And then they. They freak out. They fire people. They do. You know, they let guys go. Carolina has just stayed the course over these last seven or so years. Everyone talks every year. It's like, do you have to fire, Rod? We've said it and they are just like, no, we're obviously not doing that. And do you think, I know I'm rambling here, but it's like, do you think that there's a lot of truth in that? And when you look at this Carolina team, obviously there's way more work to be Done. But if they even get to a cup, getting to a cup is an achievement. I think it's a testament to, like, yeah, dude, don't panic. Like, if you have good people at the helm, all the players love Rod. Everyone loves Tulski. Like, do you just go like, yeah, I'm just. We're going to stick with it here.

[F]

Yeah. I think if you look at two ends of the spectrum, there, there's two extremes. Well, I wouldn't necessarily call Carolina an extreme, but look what, look at what you said, what they're doing. They're sticking with their guys. They're trusting the process. And look at the success they've had the last few years. Okay. Look at the success having right now. And then you look at a team like Toronto, they don't win the first five games of the season, they're already talking about cleaning house.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[A]

So true.

[F]

It's, it's the most ridiculous thing of all time. And it, it's like, I, I, I feel like we've said it quite a few times here, but hitting that panic button and like, that, that's not going to solve the issue immediately, is just swapping in guys, swapping them out. Also, though, like, I feel like Carolina, like, with Rod Brenmore, like, he, he's won a Stanley cup. He's been a part of that organization. He's been a part of an amazing culture there when he played, and now as he's coaching and I, I give a lot of credit to that organization for trusting him, trusting the process, trusting how he's coaching and, and the players that they're picking up.

[A]

Completely agree. All right, Pacer, before we let you go, can you give us, We've got Buffalo, Montreal tonight. We've got Vegas, Anaheim tonight. Who are you feeling in both those games?

[F]

I'm feeling Buffalo. Buffalo is right now, in my opinion, Buffalo and Colorado, two most exciting teams to watch.

[B]

I love that.

[A]

Yeah, dude, I think you're right. I think you're right.

[F]

If you told me two years ago that I'd be saying Buffalo's an exciting team to watch, I would laugh in your face. Yep, they are electric out there. I love the way that Benson's playing. I love that guy. He is just on fire. And for the role he plays out there, he's like, kind of undercover, silky. Like, I see the moves that falls off in front of the net, the dishes he's making, like, it's such good hockey to watch. And then Colorado, their, they're just electric. Like, they're really proving Nate and Makar, like, they're proving that they are truly the best. As you know, you see some other superstars in that series, like Hughes, like, he. He's an amazing defenseman, but you can see the fatigue of how much he gets played throughout the regular season and the playoffs, and they're just taking full advantage of that. But to the Vegas Anaheim series, I'm going to go with Vegas. I haven't been paying too much attention to that series, but I want to see Marner have some success.

[A]

Dude, he's been buzzing, dude.

[B]

I. He has been buzzing. And I actually like hearing that from you, because I know some people don't want to lose that divorce, you know, and they're like, I hope Martyr. I hope Martyr sucks. But. But it's actually cool to hear because I feel the. I mean, I'm obviously a neutral in this case, but I feel the same way where I thought it was awesome when you and Jack, when Jack get to go. Got out of Buffalo because it wasn't working for him. Right. And then to have him go see success, these guys are too good to not want to see them do well. But, Pacer, we watch that game, though, because the Ducks have been flying, bro. Like, I actually think they should be up 2.

[D]

0.

[B]

It's been. It's been nuts. Yeah.

[F]

There's such a sick team, and they had such a great year, too. But even, you know, back to Ikes, like, I know, like, that's your boy. And I've said it to you guys a million times. Every time, I've got to see that guy play, whether it was in four nations or in the Olympics this year. Like, he, to me, is the smoothest skater in the league.

[A]

Yes. Dude. Thank you.

[B]

Pacer.

[F]

Flawless. I am such a Jack Eichel fan. He is flawless out there. I've never seen a guy.

[A]

I completely agree. Obviously, like, we joked about this. Like, I got screamed at by some Oilers fans being like, how do you think he's better? And I was like, I think McDavid is faster.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But Jack is the smoothest skater in the league. It's like, genuinely a tutorial on how

[B]

to skate end to end. In two strides.

[A]

Unbelievable. All right. It's unreal. Pacer, we'll let you get back to your day, but thanks for popping on. But before you go, tell everyone where they can find you what you're up to. What's going on?

[F]

Yeah, just grinding away with the hockey guys. You could find me on Instagram, TikTok at Johnny Pace, 44 or on the hockey guys at the hockey guys. And hopefully we're gonna be out to a few games this year. We're trying to. Trying to get something going here for the playoffs, and hopefully we're going to be seeing you boys wherever the finals are. Not Florida this year, though, so I know all four room for the first time.

[A]

And I think we're gonna have to find. I mean, we will be. There will be no shortage of great bars in any of the places left.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So we're gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine.

[F]

Hey, and if there is, then we'll make it one.

[B]

Okay. Yeah. Damn right, dude. We'll.

[A]

We'll turn our Airbnb into the best

[B]

bar in the city.

[F]

Yeah. We're turning that place into a Boston pizza. Okay.

[B]

Right. You got a deal.

[A]

Oh, my God. All right, so. You're the best of the best.

[F]

Thank you so much.

[B]

Love you, buddy.

[F]

We'll talk soon. Love you, too.

[A]

Later, buddy.

[B]

Dan, I want to tee you up for something because I did want to talk about. Because I was talking to JP a lot about. About this game, and, you know, he was just pulling his hair out as a Flyers fan. Cause he's like. He's like, dude, first of all, at pr, I have an idea. Philly, at practice, why don't you practice breakaways all day? And if we could score one, we'd be up in this series. Two, one. Not down.03 with our fucking. We're now getting hummed in four, and it's over. Like, so. As a Flyers fan, legitimately, you are fuming about the missed opportunities.

[A]

Totally. I am. I am going to bring in our next guest. So, boys, be ready, all right? And Kane's fans, you're going to be very familiar with these fellows.

[B]

It's.

[A]

It's multiple guests, and they're gonna be a great time. They're gonna be. Since we're still on this series, it's a perfect time. We're gonna be talking about Carolina because

[B]

I wanted to talk about the special teams because.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean.

[A]

And.

[B]

And by the way, we said Philly had to muck it up. That's exactly what they did to Evans Penguins. And we said that might be a way to get forward.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And they have mocked it up. There's a million penalties every game, but it just isn't working. Yeah, Carolina's that good. And the. Carolina is 2 for 9 on the power play last night, which is ridiculous.

[A]

I know. It was just such a show of a game. It's like when you're getting Multiple penalties like play and then they, you, you take a penalty and now it's four and four. It's like that's still counted as a power play. So you go over and it just felt like yeah, it was a muck up fest last night. So it was just like ah, whatever.

[B]

Yep. But credit to the canes PK cuz Philly 0 for 5 again and like these are the huge difference makers. Dude, I want to talk about that power play.

[A]

Yeah, I, I did pop on. Yeah, I mentioned, I wanted to talk about that first power play. I, I mentioned this on, on, on X. I like I sent a post out the. That first power play for Carolina that they scored on. The Jordan Stall level was a masterclass in how effective it is to get shots on.

[B]

Just get it to the.

[A]

They were snapping it around but there was no more than two passes before a shot.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that gets the other team. Obviously you got to get a little bit lucky with the rebounds.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

But like when you get the defensive team spinning, moving around, getting ready to block a shot and then bang the pucks there like they're going to be tired. They're not going to be on that puck. And it's like I need the Minnesota Wild to watch tape of that power play because we keep talking about them. They're doing one too many passes every time. They're looking for the perfect seam every time. That Carolina power play was genuinely a perfect example of spray pucks at the net, jump on rebounds, keep snapping it around and one will go in.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And why it's such a great example is it went in off the boards.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We shoot, it goes off the end wall, rebound bounces right out to Stall and he stuffs it in because everyone's spinning like a top. Sometimes you just gotta spray, dude. Buckshot, dude. Ping. Ping.

[C]

Ping.

[A]

Ping.

[B]

Ping. Ping.

[D]

Ping.

[B]

I will even argue the Philly goal and I was actually, I was happy to see Zigres get one. But the Philly goal was a delayed penalty. So it doesn't count as a power play goal. But they had an extra guy out there and all they did was get it on cage and it kicked out to Zegras and he had actually a really great tough angle tuck. But I'm so with you where we said this, the other app where I'm just, I'm drunk on finding that perfect pass. But to your point, just sometimes, man. And dude, how many fucking goals have we seen go off the fucking end boards and pop out these playoffs? So it's like just fire when ready, dude. Ready. Torpedo one, launch and yeah, that's all we need, 100%.

[A]

I think the. As we've said all playoffs long, we're not going to complain about refs. It's not what we do here. It's not what we do on this show. It's not effective. It happens every single year. We freak out about it. It gets nothing done. I, I. There were a lot of calls last night.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

There were a lot of. Dude.

[B]

And that's two games in a row where I'm like, jesus.

[A]

Yeah, there were a lot of calls, but also, by the way, every time it cuts to Chris's camera, your shorts are riding up and this purple Gatorade bottle is. It looks like it's covering up your piece, and it's fantastic.

[C]

Are you guys familiar with the term catching print?

[B]

That's.

[C]

No, no, catching print is when you can see someone's bulge. And I gotta say, on the couches, you guys, people are gonna be catching a lot of print.

[A]

Yeah, that's what they're here for. Straight cockshot right down the barrel.

[C]

It's that they're here for. That's podcasting on couches, baby.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, listen, this is the game, babe.

[C]

You're welcome.

[A]

We're talking about Break.com. we're talking about porn. I mean, it's unbelievable. But I am gonna take these off until the boys jump on you.

[B]

Don't need it.

[A]

What's that? No, not yet, right? Not yet, John. Oh, here we go. Oh, Jesus. Boys, can you hear us? Okay, hold on, hold on one second, fellas. All right, so for the chat, I don't know if they can see the fellas just yet, but we are joined by some of our favorite fellas in the game. Bo. Boys, give me a thumbs up if you can hear us. Jesus, that was the most in unison thumbs up I've ever seen in my life. We've got the good old Canadian boys here joining us, the Seth Jarvis crew. Where are you guys right now?

[E]

Well, we were in an Airbnb, but we messed up and booked it for not enough days, so now we're crashing. Jarvis. I was. Well, he's gone.

[B]

That is perfect. Dude, that is the most perfect story I've ever heard in my whole life. I hope you're chucking the football around in the yard or something. That's amazing,

[A]

boys. We're thrilled to have you on. We're, we're live on the show. We've got the fellows here. You guys were at game two. Is that Correct. Yeah. Game two. Jarvey potted one. Cut to the fellows. I laughed my ass off. How difficult was it this time getting all the boys together down in Raleigh for that game?

[E]

Honestly? So. So maybe they had to extend a few days, but it was kind of auto that we were going to end up here at some point.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

So it wasn't that difficult at all of them being honest.

[A]

Okay, there you go.

[B]

Well, how about this, though? Because I remember we had. What did we do before Utah? I can't remember, but a couple times, guys, we get. We. The teams will bring us out to the game to do a video or whatever, and it's so fun, but I find there's a lot of pressure. Oh, it was the Ducks take flight. We did the take flight.

[A]

That's right. That's right.

[B]

I find there's a lot of pressure when the team brings you out and you do the pre game thing to get it, to get a dub for the boys. And I saw the game, and you guys are cranking the parmesan cheese grater, getting the storm siren going. And then the Flyers score twice. It's the first time Philly scored in the first period all playoffs. It's the first time the Canes have been losing all playoffs. And I was like, oh, no, this is gonna feel terrible. So were you guys tweaking when it was.

[A]

Do you feel that pressure when you're there? Because, like, you got to bring vibes when you're there.

[E]

I don't know if we actually felt the pressure, but then I went on Twitter, and Twitter is just, like, banging us. Like, these jar boys, like, you know, they're pumping up the siren. They go down 2, 0, right over. Like, come on.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

This is brutal.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They're like, the boys are distracting Jarvey out there. This is.

[B]

But then. But then you totally delivered because Jarvey gets one.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

And then you get the dub, so that was. That was massive. Did you guys go nuts?

[A]

Oh, yeah. The guy in the greenhouse.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Tarps off. I mean, listen, you got to do it. You stepped up to the bar. That's what you need to do. Obviously, guys, we're riding for our boy here. We're going to root for Jarv all the time, no matter what. But you're all hockey guys. You all played. Some of you are still playing, still coaching. How do you feel about the Canes this year? Like, be real. Give us the true skinny on what you think about this team and their chances.

[E]

Coach, let's hear coach's opinion.

[A]

Yeah. Come on coach. Yeah.

[E]

No, they're.

[F]

Yeah, they're a wagon.

[A]

They're a wagon, Right?

[F]

Well, you got four lines that can play.

[E]

I mean, like, your fourth line can play, like, over 10 minutes a game. That's huge. And you got three deep pairings, so it's unreal. And Freddy's playing unreal. Yeah, Freddy's

[B]

extremely scorching hot.

[A]

Freddy is scorching hot. We were actually just talking about that before you guys popped on. I. I keep saying Chris actually went down regular season games played over the last three years, and this is actually the most he's played in the last three years. But those two years prior, he was battling crazy injury, health complications, things like that. I am of the opinion that Bussy being so good and reliable all regular season actually allowed Freddie to rest both physically and mentally, and that's why he's so dialed. What do you guys think about that?

[E]

For sure. Especially just taking that. A little bit of that regular season pressure off to.

[A]

Definitely. Yeah, definitely. So you got. I love. We're on the same page. Canes are a wagon this year. They've got the juice. Is there a team in the Montreal Buffalo series that you would rather see, or do you guys think it's like a. Who gives a shit? This team's going to roll no matter what?

[E]

I mean, one of these guys is a Canadiens fan. Yeah.

[B]

I think it'd be kind of cool

[E]

to watch Jarv play against them, but is that gonna.

[A]

Is that gonna be complicated for you, though?

[B]

Oh, no. I'll cheer for Jarv no matter what.

[A]

Good, good, good.

[B]

He says from his house.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Hey, who. Who accidentally booked the Airbnb for a short day so you could crash with Seth? Like, who?

[A]

Who?

[B]

Yeah, there we go. By mistake. By mistake.

[A]

That's the accountability that we need, dude. Yeah, I get it. We've been there.

[B]

Boys, we've got some questions from the chat. Some people want to know what's their favorite thing you've done in Raleigh on the trip besides go to the game? Oh, golf.

[E]

We golfed. We went to Prestonwood. It's a nice, nice course down here. There was even a couple more buddies that we had down here. So we all went. I think there was maybe like 10 of us on Jarv Jarvis, brother. And none of us really played that well, but it was a sick course. Beauty day. It was a good time.

[A]

It's all about just having fun.

[B]

It's all about a beauty.

[A]

How did you. With 10. How did you guys do that? You do two foursomes and then or are you just jamming five in there?

[E]

We had two. Three sums and then a foursome. So we had three tee times.

[A]

Fucking beautiful. Love it when the fellows just take over.

[B]

I know, dude. We all meet up on 18. 10 people teeing off on 18. I'm like, fuck it, whatever. And then did you guys hit the. Was there a tailgate before the game or like, what was the pregame festivities game, too?

[A]

Tailgate? Yeah.

[E]

Tailgate? Yeah. We ripped around a tailgate. Not as long as I was hoping for. I wish we got there a little earlier.

[B]

Got a few more. Got a few more pops in.

[A]

See, see, that's good intel for us because if. If and when the Canes make it to the final, you got to know. We got to get there earlier for the tailgate.

[B]

I wanted to get there.

[E]

They had, like, a backup siren that they had on wheels. We were buzzing around with this backup, like the siren, getting fans to crank the siren. It was fun to interact with them and kind of just. See?

[B]

See, that's incredible. I didn't know there was a second siren. Dude, that's amazing. So you guys got warmed up. Who. Who. Who cranked. Who cranked the siren at the game? Actually, I can't remember. Okay, okay. And. And you guys were going crazy in the background, though, which I know is a hard job, right, because the camera pants you. And you're like, what do you want me to do? You just got to scream your face off. Yeah. That was sick. So who was cranking it at the tailgate? Did everyone get a touch?

[E]

No, he was warming up.

[B]

Oh, good. Smart. Actually, he got a shoulder injury.

[A]

You can't go in there hurt. You can't go in there tired, either.

[B]

So. Hey, how long are you guys. How long you guys stay in?

[E]

Till Sunday. Yeah. Okay, Watch game four around, and then we leave on Sunday morning.

[B]

And then when's game five? If there is one?

[A]

I'm actually not sure. Is that Monday?

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And correct me if I'm wrong, aren't a few you going back to school on Monday?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Jesus Christ, boys.

[B]

That.

[A]

Hey. The commitment is. Is commendable. Yeah, it's. It's really unbelievable. I'm proud of you guys. When. When are we done?

[B]

I have a class all the way up until August. No, what.

[A]

I mean, your professors better be aware that if this team makes it to the cup, you're going to be missing time because we're going to need you there in Raleigh.

[B]

I missed the first weekend. My professor was pretty lenient on it, so.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I remember. I Remember some exams getting pushed when we were in Milan?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

I remember some emails going like, hey, I'm not going to.

[A]

Also got to give the boys credit yet again. We asked for the professor's name because we were prepared to sewer the professor if he gave him any. And he didn't do it. They protected their guys and I respect that. It's really impressive.

[B]

What's the. What's the watch party game for plan? Where. Where are the boys watching?

[E]

I think that's. That's still up in the air. We're figuring something out. We might go to. To a friend's house we made over here or head out to bar. We'll see. We'll see where a new.

[B]

Is this a new friend you just made?

[E]

New friend? New friend.

[A]

Yeah, it was the guy with. It was the guy with the backup siren.

[B]

Yeah. Are.

[A]

Do you guys feel like you're you. You know, the lay of the land of Raleigh at this point? I mean, you've been there enough times. Like, you. You must. You must have some sense of the area.

[E]

It's.

[B]

It's pretty spread out.

[E]

But I mean, like the areas we're familiar with the bars around.

[A]

The important stuff.

[B]

The important stuff, exactly.

[A]

That's fantastic.

[B]

Okay, well, if you guys go to a bar, you got to post it on your socials because there are chats. But all the Raleigh fans in the chat are going crazy right now. Like, where are the boys going for game four? So make sure if you don't go to your new boy's house, make sure you get something dialed in at a sick bar and post it because people want to join you and experience the madness. Get the tarps off action.

[A]

Seriously, fellas, you got to really. You got to advertise the watch party. I mean, like that nothing rallies the troops more than. Than some of the energy you bring. That's going to bring Canes fans in. It's going to will a win on the road. Like, that's. That's big stuff. Yeah, you got to let them know for sure.

[E]

Big time.

[A]

All right, so this is what we. This is what we got to know, boys. You know, in addition to that, obviously couple of you going back to school, but give us the rundown. We always love checking in with you guys. What's. What's going on? What are you all up to? Where can people find you? What's the latest with everything you've got going on?

[E]

I mean, I know like we want to do a sandbagger maybe and start a YouTube channel. So that's Maybe something to stay tuned for lots behind the scenes that we got to figure out with that. But I think that's something as a group, at least we want to try and do throughout the summer and push out some more stuff.

[A]

There we go.

[E]

Peg and sling the sticks with us or something.

[B]

Oh, dude.

[A]

I was about. I was about to say, boys, yeah, Summertime is big time golf stuff for us, so we're going to have to collab on that for sure.

[B]

I want to get up there, too. What is the. What do they have in the Winnipeg? Like the windiest street or something?

[A]

Yeah, Isn't that true, boys? There's like the windiest corner in the world is in Winterpeg.

[B]

I don't know that.

[E]

It's a portage, isn't it? Yeah, portage in Maine. I don't know if it's that windy, though.

[F]

I don't know.

[A]

There's only one way to find out.

[E]

Yeah, I think.

[B]

Okay, we'll go investigate together and.

[A]

Dude, summertime in Winnipeg.

[B]

That sounds incredibly gorgeous. Sun's probably up all night, all day. Sun sets at midnight.

[A]

It's amazing. It's incredible. Well, we'll definitely get linked up on that. We'll definitely get linked up on that. And again, we got to keep the canes buzzing here because that's going to mean a reunion for all of us and inevitably. Fun.

[B]

Do you guys have any plans, like, for round three? I mean, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. Get to round three. Do you have any plans to come back or. Not yet?

[E]

Honestly, I think we're kind of just playing it by ear. We don't want to jinx anything. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves. But I know for sure if they continue this run up, we'll be back.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, someone's going to sound the sound, the siren, dude. Someone's going to ring the alarm. I love it.

[A]

No doubt.

[B]

Hey, what's. What's the most annoying thing Jarvie makes you do around the house?

[E]

We just got here.

[A]

Like, I need to know, fellas, other than what you're sitting on, is there any furniture in that house? Like, I. I could just see Jarvey having not on.

[E]

He's got it pretty set up. Like, we were here earlier. Like after he got the house recently and it was pretty bare, but now he's actually. He's got, like, fat here. I can't lie.

[B]

Okay, he's adulting. All right.

[A]

There you go, Jar. I love that. Love to hear that.

[C]

I don't know.

[E]

I don't Know if it's actually him doing all the furnishing. But regardless, yeah,

[A]

I love it. All right. Well, boys, it's great to see you. You're bringing the vibes. Everyone needs that. Do us a favor. Tell everyone where they can find you, what you guys are doing, any of the social pages, all that stuff.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

No.

[E]

Or the good old Canadian boys. You can find us on Instagram. And we got a tick tock. And then stay. Stay tuned for YouTube channel coming up.

[A]

Come on. There we go. And then I'm telling you, when you figure out where you're doing the watch party for the next game, seriously, make sure to post it. We'll repost it because everyone's going to want to join you. That's going to be a blast.

[B]

And boys, the last chat says if you want your best Raleigh sandwich, hit up, hit up Lunchbox Deli or Oakwood Deli. So if you guys are hungry today, one of those two. One of those two is a Raleigh staple.

[A]

Fucking right.

[B]

Hey, you guys are fucking beauties and we're not jinxing it. But if you. If they keep going and you guys keep going, let's all link up because that would be a blast. 100%.

[E]

Oh, yeah, let's run it.

[A]

All right, boys, great to see you. We'll talk to you soon. Later, fellas. They are the best dudes.

[B]

Unreal dude.

[A]

Best dudes in the world.

[B]

Legends. It's incredible.

[A]

Oh, God. We gotta keep this train running for the canes here because everyone needs more of that. There's nothing makes me happier.

[B]

Okay, Dan, so hold on.

[A]

Filibuster for me.

[B]

Oh, okay. That's cl. That is a classic bathroom break question. Hit me.

[C]

Do you want a taco or a breakfast burrito?

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

We got them in from the hell.

[B]

Yeah, I want a breakfast taco. Dude, on Friday mornings at almost Friday, we get breakfast Sangos. Look at this dude. Incredible. Oh, yeah. This is an Edge staple. This is Edge bag work. Everybody go follow the Canadian boys. If you're not. They are an absolute delight. A breath of fresh air on the Internet, which can be crazy, crazy work. But those guys are legitimately special. So fun, so nice. Talented, unreal dudes. And they listen, they get Jarvie going. Everyone has an entourage. You know, all the greats have a great entourage. And Jarvie's got one absolutely cooking. And dude, I don't believe them for a second that they weren't tweaking when the canes went down. 20 when they were in the building. I don't Believe that.

[C]

I was nervous.

[B]

I would have been myself, dude. Like, oh, great. Here we go. I'm here. We're getting killed. So. But I'm glad they pulled that one out. Was that ot? It was, right? What? Game two. Wasn't that ot?

[C]

I don't think so.

[B]

Maybe they just scored in regulation. It was tough one, though. Let's see. Yeah. No, was. That was ot. That was a sweat. Yeah. Because Halsey on his knees. Remember? That was a sweat. Okay, Dan, I'm trying to think what else I had on that game. I was pumped. Zieger scored the power play. Cooking Ehlers breakaway. I said that the Cane. Oh, I wanted to shout out Sean Couturier, but I did that last step, too. But just man, credit to him because they're gonna go down swinging here. But he's just been awesome. And I love that he gets to hang his hat on this.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And say, I was there. I did my job. Penalties are crazy.

[A]

My guy.

[B]

I had my guy. You know, it's funny, dude. JP texted me and he was like, the Canes are beatable, man. But that's a Philly fan talking. Who's down? 03. But I know. I see his point. But just, you know, the Kate. But the Canes are going, though.

[A]

I don't. Here's the thing. I don't think they're beatable for the Philly.

[B]

For the.

[A]

For the Flyers. They. They. You can get a game.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Sure. But Carolina is a wagon. And you know, the boys just said it and they said it. Right. We keep talking about Colorado. Whenever Colorado gets in this situation, we said Minnesota has to win game three because this Colorado team is incapable of losing four games in a row.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

This Canes team is incapable. This series is over.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Can Philly get a win? Yeah, I think they could. Especially at home. But I don't think this can. This Cane's team has shown that they're beatable. And I don't mean in a game. I mean in a series. Like they. The way they handle pressure and adversity. Look at game two. Down to a quick win.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And there was no panic ever. So I think that they're. They're too strong.

[B]

And I don't think Philly gets one, to be honest with you. Now, like, I think this is.

[A]

Me neither. I do think I have loved everything about Trevor Zegras this season.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

It's been amazing. He obviously gets a good goal last night. His body language. And this is not a knock on Z, because I love Z. The Player. I think his body language, it was showing how disheveling this series, man.

[B]

There.

[A]

That's not. I'm not saying, like, he had bad body language. I think he had understandable body language. That was just like, me, dude. Like, this team is just, like, hard to play against.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And it's like, that's. That's. You saw it in talk, too. He was getting frustrated with some of the calls. Getting frustrated with some of the rate of play. And it's like, dude, this is just. This team knows how to win.

[B]

Oh, yeah. They.

[A]

They.

[B]

Again, this. This. Well, you know what sucks, dude? For Canes. For Canes fans and the team. They 1000% are in a. Honestly, what we would always say with the Pats, with Brady, where it was like, literally nothing matters till the AFC championship. Yeah. Like, any cool win you have in the regular season or in an early playoff round, wake me up when we're in the AFC championship.

[A]

For sure.

[B]

And then our entire season hinges on these two games, full stop.

[A]

For sure.

[B]

The Canes, for better or worse, their entire season hinges on the Eastern Conference finals performance. Yep. Because none of this matters. You've done this dance all the time.

[A]

It's true.

[B]

It's like, this is great, and you're playing great, and you'd rather sweep two rounds than be like, oh, oh, shit, we're choking it early. But I'm telling you, that's the. That's the stigma, and that's the. The. The weight of as good as you've been. That's where your situation is.

[A]

Correct.

[B]

Wake me up in the Eastern Conference finals, and then we'll see how we can grade this season.

[A]

All right, you want to get into these. A quick. Just brushing. Brushing on the other series, and then get into award stuff, then get into beer stuff.

[B]

Yes. That sounds great.

[A]

All right, let's quickly jump into Buffalo, Montreal. Just a quick little rundown. We've got these games tonight. Sabers at home. Game 2, Montreal. How you feeling?

[B]

I. I'm so pumped for this series. Some. I saw a lot of comments on. I forget whenever we posted that, that was like. Like, oh, boohoo. The Habs are tired after game seven. Shut the up. And I was like, well, you know, they probably were tired. They're definitely going to give you a good punch tonight. But I'm super pumped for that series because, like I said, Alex Lyon looked awesome.

[A]

He looked awesome.

[B]

And Dovish. Looked solved a little bit. You know, not solved. That means ridiculous. But, like, they got a few past him after he would. He had Stifled Tampa.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I have some scary thoughts to say, but I'm not going to say until I see the results of game two. Just remind me okay. For this, but I think the Canadiens don't. Aren't dead if they lose this game. Some teams are dead if you lose to. I think Canadians are dead because they can go home and get that atmosphere and win two games. It doesn't matter. But they want the split.

[A]

Our.

[B]

Our dear friend Vape texted us. Huge haps guy. He's the mayor of Montreal. He texted us getting a early morning pump from the gym, getting his sweat on before the sun comes up. And he says, tell your second cousin in law or uncle in law on your mom's side or whatever he is that we ain't leaving Buffalo without a split. I was like, oh, Hugh, we got Vape. We got Vape versus huge. Yeah, he's fired.

[A]

He's fired up.

[B]

He's fired up. So that one's going to be a great one. I'm. I'm really excited for that game. I would probably bet. I'd probably bet Montreal gets a split.

[A]

Yeah, I. Listen, I, I was a big one on saying. I remember I related it to Nick's Sixers game one. I was like, Montreal is coming out of a battle.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Them losing game one made sense. But didn't Knicks win game too as well?

[B]

Sure did. Close.

[A]

So interesting stuff. Here's what I like. I like that our boy Wyatt Russell's in the building.

[B]

Me too. I forgot about that.

[A]

That's going to be huge for Buffalo. I like the way Buffalo's playing. I like the vibes. Did you see Zach Benson in the press conference? Not even paying attention. He was with Greenway and like Greenway was like, take it away, Benner. And he was like, I didn't listen.

[B]

I wasn't, I wasn't listening.

[A]

Like they're, they're just feeling great. I think goal one is very important in this game.

[B]

Yeah, agree.

[A]

I think if Buffalo gets up early, I don't think that they lose this game. I think if they score the first goal, this game's over. So I think Montreal wants to break the ice first. I also need Cole to get going.

[B]

They need Cole to get going.

[A]

It's. We are officially at the point here where I'm like, dude, playoffs are a different game now. You got people talking. You've got the stupid memes. You got the this, that, the other. He's a 50 goal scorer. This guy is a great player. Need you to get on the score sheet tonight.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Need it.

[B]

I'm with you on that one. Vegas Ducks.

[A]

I think Buffalo wins.

[B]

Oh, okay. Wow. 2.

[A]

Oh, this is my pick. All right, Vegas Ducks, we're down in Honda tonight.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Down in Honda tonight for game three. Series is tied. Ducky's got the split on the road. You want that, and you want to roll it into a win here.

[B]

And I think they get it, which scares me because I'm on the Ducks because we're trying to go Sunday. And if. If the Ducks win tonight, I think you're going to get Vegas's best punch Sunday, and I don't want.

[A]

I agree.

[B]

I actually. I hope Vegas wins tonight, so then I can go. Come on, Ducks. We got to get this one. I agree, but they've been the better team twice, I think. I think legitimately the Ducks have been the better team twice.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Carter Hart's been good, though.

[A]

I hear that. Carter Hart has been good. But I mean, that. That game two. Game two was an emphatic Ducks win. And we keep putting the. The. We keep pointing out emphatic wins because I think it does tell the tale of a series.

[B]

Dude, the last one. Last one left in the chat just said this. I've never heard this before.

[A]

The last one left in the chat.

[B]

That's their screen name. Oh, there's one person left. Last one left just said Ponda.

[A]

Ponda center.

[B]

I don't know if anyone's ever said that before, but that is one of

[A]

the great comments of all time, is fantastic.

[B]

And Dan, upon the center, I literally. How has that.

[A]

How.

[B]

By just. How am I just hearing that for the first time?

[A]

That's incredible.

[B]

I'm. I'm furious right now.

[A]

That's incredible.

[B]

Hearing this for the first time. Panda, dude.

[C]

You guys. You guys haven't driven the Panda Accord.

[B]

Yeah, dude. Like, literally, we need a full rebrand, like, the entire thing.

[C]

It's the. It's the car that can go in water.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

It's like a boat and a car at once.

[B]

The pond decor, dude.

[A]

Is that a real thing?

[C]

Well, that's.

[A]

Well, I mean, are you making it up right now?

[C]

Military had cars that could go in water.

[B]

Yeah, Right.

[A]

It's not an amphibian.

[D]

There's been a lot of Ponda Accords

[A]

in the water, though.

[C]

If you get drunk.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

If you get drunk enough. Any car as it goes in the pond.

[A]

That's true. I can turn. I can turn any car into an amphibian.

[B]

That is.

[A]

Just give me enough. We don't.

[C]

We don't.

[A]

Don't Condone.

[B]

This is the lake.

[A]

This is the lake.

[B]

You can't, dude, can't turn here.

[A]

I, I, yeah, I like the Duckies tonight. I think, I think through two games, I haven't really seen the, the Vegas that we've all been scared of seeing.

[B]

Game six, Mammoth Vegas, we have not seen or five.

[A]

Yeah, we have not seen game five or six against Mammoth Vegas so far in this series. Now it's only been two games and we all, we saw how good Vegas was with their backs against the wall. I don't think their back is against the wall yet, but I think that this is a, this is a game where if they don't turn it on and play how we've seen them play, I think the Duckies take advantage. The Duckies are, They're dumb, dude.

[B]

Yes, they are.

[A]

They got dumb confidence. They're just, they're running out there and they're just playing hockey, which is great. Did you guys see Zach? You wouldn't have seen, but Evan, no offense, I just know you're not watching Ducks Vegas hockey.

[D]

I actually was watching.

[A]

Were you?

[D]

Yeah, Yeah. I keep up with it more than you guys think. Y' all think that I just.

[B]

He's watching college football.

[D]

Yeah, because look, Southern boy does then watch hockey.

[A]

This guy's just watching Gamecocks.

[D]

Yeah, come on now. I watched, I watched a little hockey. I, I, I, I've been to the Preds, I've been to the Hurricanes, I've been to Tampa. I've worked with all three. I've seen a little hockey my day. I, I tune in.

[A]

That's true. You know what? I apologize. They cut in that game to a mic'd up. Troy Terry, like, they're, I'm watching the game. They're like this. All right, now we got Troy Terry miked up. Let's, let's kick it to that footage. And they played about like 45 seconds of Troy Terry miked up. He might have said four words.

[B]

Well, dude, I die.

[A]

Genuinely. Dude, at one point you just heard him go, unreal.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then it was like he's skating around, he's not talking. He gets to the bench, he says something like, attaboy, cutter, or something like that, and that was it.

[B]

Dude, I die every time they have these mic'd up things because, and I assume people know this, but maybe I'm, maybe I'm giving you a look behind the curtain, but they are just swearing and so much fucked up shit.

[D]

They swear all the time. I have done way too many mic'd Ups over my day. And I like, there was one.

[B]

I can't.

[D]

There's a college football coach that I cannot name, but he's at a big school in the SEC and he knew he was going to be mic'd up that day, so he dropped the F bomb 102 times.

[A]

Just so they couldn't use any footage.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

And can I. Can I guess how long this was recorded for?

[A]

Three minutes.

[D]

Three minutes. No way. Yeah. You know, joke. Literally three minutes, 100 F bombs. And we were like, all right, dude. Like, because you can. You're monitoring the headset. You can hear. And we're like, all right, we just can't do this. Yeah.

[A]

We can't use anything.

[B]

So, dude, they. That when you cut to someone in the game and they're miked and they go, God, he's barely talking. I'm like, it's because these are literally the only usable sound bites that they have.

[C]

You get them going like, yeah, yeah. Somebody scores a goal and let's go, boys. And that's it.

[A]

I do.

[B]

He said.

[A]

I'm like, I do think with Troy, genuinely, it might actually be that because he doesn't talk.

[B]

Yeah. He's just silent.

[A]

I think Troy is a man of a few words.

[B]

Dude. A couple of years ago, I heard a story about Darlene that he was miked and had a great game. So then he was like, hey, can I. I want to be miked again. Because hockey guys are so weird with the superstitions. Yeah, yeah. So they were like, oh, okay. It's like they miked him again and then he had another great game and won. And then they had to start fake making him.

[C]

Oh, they just give him like a placebo.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They were like, oh. Again. Because he was like, great. They were like, dude, that is great.

[C]

Miking, you know, I think would be like, next level is if you get miked and then you just make all your chirps super pg.

[B]

Yeah. Everyone's like, so corny.

[C]

Like, you're like, hey, what are you full of baloney over there?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

You ever saw Norm McDonald? Norm McDonald did the roast of Bob Saget.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Intentionally did these old timey jokes just to with.

[B]

Dude, that is one of the great videos of all time. Dude, it is perfect. Andy Samberg kind of did it in the Franco one. Like, did a bit like that. But the Norm is perfect. Yeah, but that'll be. I'm pumped for this game.

[A]

It's gonna be a fantastic game. I think game two was way more fun than game one. But I think it shows that we've got a fun series ahead of us here. But the, the, the pond panda is going to be buzzing.

[B]

Yes, it is.

[A]

I, I, that's another. I feel like a lot of people, especially east coast fans, are just because you've never seen it, are unaware of how fun Honda is. Yeah, it's a great time. So I think, I think they're going to be rocking down in Southern California. That's gonna be fun. Let's get back into award talk and

[B]

talk about the Hart Trophy heart finalists announced.

[A]

What are your initial knee jerk reactions?

[B]

My initial knee jerk and I actually maybe can't say this because people, I don't know if they publish votes like they do for the MLB hall of Fame. You know, they're like here's what this writer did. But the, so someone texted me who has a heart vote and, or who votes on this stuff. I'm just not sure if I'm allowed to say who it is, so I won't. But their, their vote was Macklin, Nikita and Nate dog with McDavid at the 4.

[A]

Oh wow.

[B]

And the McKinnon and Nate dog was debated and you know, he was a really tough call there. That's I, I was kind of like if, if I had a vote, which I do not, I think I put Connor in there because they, he won the Art Ross. He did a ton without dry saddle. Like Leon missed a lot of that time at the end and honestly that's when Connor really took off. Like Cooch had caught everybody by. Yeah. And then Connor won the Art Ross by eight points. Like it was crazy. Really took off. They were never like about to miss but you know he comfortably got them into the two seed and whatever. They missed the winning the Pacific by a point. So he's in for me for there. I think Cooch is in because again it's playoffs tainted but it's like I think Cooch is in because he did his thing again and just for me, dude, not having Mac is crazy. He set records as a 19 year old. Like what?

[A]

He finished with 45 goals, 115 points, 115, 70 assists as a teenager. 19 year old.

[B]

And yes, they missed. And I, I'm kind of with you. If they had made it, he should have fucking won it. Yeah. Yes, they missed. But I'm like, oh dude, that year deserves recognition.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean it does. And yeah, it's crazy that he's like he will get no hardware this year.

[B]

Yeah. Which he's, which I didn't want him to anyway, once they missed, I was like, fine. No. No worries.

[A]

No, no. But what I'm saying is being 19 and having 115 points and 44 goals, 45 goals, I'm like, you have to win something.

[B]

And getting a Ted Lindsay finalist and not being his heart finalist is the

[A]

Ted Lindsay finalist and not getting the heart was surprising to me.

[B]

Who were the Ted Lindsay finalists again?

[A]

I believe Nate was left out.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Here's what I'll say. The more I think about it and the more I Look at it, 53

[B]

goals for Nate, though, is crazy.

[A]

It's crazy. The more I think about it, the more I look at it. Connor, for me, Connor's the mvp. Yeah.

[B]

I think he's going to win, and

[A]

I think he should. Connor McDavid having 48 goals, 90 assists and playing 82 games, that is the big one for me.

[B]

Yes. Dude, it's awesome.

[A]

This guy has been to the Stanley cup final two years in a row. Lost in seven, lost in six.

[B]

That is so much hockey.

[A]

So to come in here after two finals appearances in a row, winning a Con Smythe in one of them.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And pitching a 138 point season with 48 goals, that is unfucking believable.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So Connor should win. He is my vote, dude.

[B]

And it's crazy, bro. Like, if you look at the I know you're a plus minus guy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Nate led the league. But then it's the top four of the top five are all abs just because they were so dominant. But number three at plus 43 is cooch.

[A]

Yeah. So here's my thing. That plus 43 is amazing. Connor, we talk about Macklin all the time in that why we think Macklin should have been voted A, he's 19, has 150 points. B, this Sharks team without him is like bottom four teams in the league.

[B]

Yeah. Yep.

[A]

But I think what we just saw this, this and we. What we heard from Leon and Connor, this Oilers team was bad this year to their standard. They were bad. And Connor came in. He played every game in those early days when they were, you know, falling out of playoffs, wild card team. He never faltered, he never stopped playing, he never stopped humming. So I'm like, unbelievable job.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I also love that Nate is a finalist. And frankly, dude, as a cooch guy, Nate is probably my second pick because someone pointed out, in my opinion, fairly, they were like, when we're talking about mvp, when we're talking about Norris, when we're talking about all this stuff, I think it was after the Lindsey's were announced. It was like, Nate doesn't get any attention because the Apps team is too good. Kale doesn't get any attention. Or, you know, it was after Vesna.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It was like, Kale doesn't get any attention because the abs are too good. Wedgwood doesn't get any Vesna votes because the team in front of him is too good. At what point are we just gonna

[B]

be like, no, they're all Nate, mvp, Kale, Norris, Wedgwood. I know he's not even nominated, but,

[A]

like, here's the best team. Who's the best forward, defenseman, and goalie on that team. They should probably get votes. Notes. And to that, I say, great point.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

As much as I'm like, Mac should have been in there. The missing. That was what I said all year. Right. I was like, if. If they make playoffs, he's got to win now. They just missed playoffs, so shouldn't he still be nominated?

[B]

He's four. He's everyone's four.

[A]

Yeah, he's everyone's four. Yep. And it's just like, God damn, brother. When we're in. When we're in a day and age where we got guys having 138, 130 and 127 points, I'm like, yeah, I mean, yeah, it's amazing that Mac did what he did at 19, but it isn't a MVP. And also take into consideration how young people are. It's like, no, it's. You're the most valuable.

[B]

And I wonder, because a lot of people in the chat right now are saying, like, you know, what is the point of this trophy if. If not, like, what you said, where

[A]

you are most valuable to your team. But is it, though? It's not.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that is the. That is the thing that I always try to remind because I'm so big on that folks like, I. I am. I'm with you. Chat.

[E]

Who.

[A]

Whoever's saying that. I'm like, yeah, but Macklin is the most valuable. If. If it was that, I. I think it would go Macklin one. Connor too.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And. But that's not what the award is. The award is most valuable player in the league.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's not most valuable to your team. I think that that's a factor you definitely think about. Yeah, but it's not that. And if it were that Macklin would be in and probably win.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But it is what it is.

[B]

Okay. But. Hell of a season.

[A]

Hell of a season. Macklin, you're our mvp.

[B]

Yeah. You're damn right.

[A]

All right, let's wrap this up. CP you had some drinking stuff.

[B]

So we had talked about. Do we have those picks ready? In our last episode, we had talked about, oh, I meant to ask the boys if they drank out of the cup. Will you text them the skate? Will you text them right now? They must have. But I meant to ask them that the. We talked about the Carolina Hurricanes beer skate and the Buffalo Sabers Beer saber. And someone in actually our YouTube comments. I should find these sent some really funny ones, but our boy Dylan, like, went down a rabbit hole. He's a graphic designer and was like, cooking on some AI too, I think to make come up with ideas for each team. I've seen him. You haven't seen him yet. Dan and Dylan, to his credit, he said. He said that he. He was like, dude, I'm lost in the sauce right now. And you.

[A]

He goes.

[B]

He goes. He's like, roast me, roast me. Whatever you want, you know, like.

[A]

All right, so it was just for a laugh. So chat. I'm seeing these live for the first time, and I'm gonna. And I love Dylan, but I'm gonna give my dead ass honestly. Yeah.

[B]

So. And. And chat way in here. And some of them, I think, are incredible. And you got to pay attention to the names, too, of the thing.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And some of them are outrageous.

[A]

Did he make one for every team?

[B]

Every team.

[A]

We're not going through 32.

[B]

Just react. They'll take.

[A]

Okay. All right. We'll be rapid.

[B]

Rapid fire.

[A]

Okay, here we go.

[B]

Right.

[A]

All right. Look at that transition.

[B]

It's amazing. The right to bear arms. Bear arms.

[A]

10 out of 10. Absolutely. 10 out of 10. That is incredible. But my big thing is I don't think we can see. I need your hands to be able to go into the bare hands.

[B]

Yeah. Do they? Do they.

[A]

It needs to be like hulk hands. If my hands can fit into those bare hands, that is a 10 out of 10. I don't know if anything's going to beat that.

[B]

Okay, facing. Okay, next one.

[A]

That was incredible.

[C]

Well, this is just.

[B]

He said. He said the saber. He's a. No notes.

[A]

No notes. I love the saber.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

It's designed. The motor mug designed like a piston in an engine.

[A]

It is like a piston. Shit.

[B]

Did you like it?

[A]

That was quick. You don't have to go that fast.

[B]

Yeah. Hold on.

[A]

Relax.

[B]

Go back to the truck.

[C]

Yeah. Jesus Christ.

[B]

Go back to Detroit real quick.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

We.

[C]

We need to give the.

[A]

The.

[C]

The wings their due.

[B]

The motor mug designed like A car. A piston in an engine.

[A]

7 out of 10. These are rookie scores. I got to do decimals here.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Well, the 10 makes sense. I'm going to give this a 7.2 out of 10. I really like it. I love the. I love the piston. I don't think it is clear enough that it is a piston. It just looks very futuristic.

[B]

Okay. Okay. Good, good, good feedback. Okay, next one, we're going to the Panthers. This is the Rat King.

[A]

Absolutely hate this. It's. It looks. It looks disgusting. I don't know why this rat is so rabid and feral. He's got, like, open seeping wounds all over him.

[C]

The people that got on the cruise ship with the hantavirus.

[B]

Yeah. Shouldn't he.

[A]

Yeah, this is exactly how hantavirus starts. You drink out of a rat's skull.

[B]

Shouldn't he be like a fun looking.

[A]

This looks so midiole. Evil. It's like, this is the end. Vibes. I want.

[B]

I want this thing out of here immediately.

[A]

Hate it. I hate it. I'm giving it a 1.4 out of 10.

[B]

Okay. Going to the habs.

[A]

All right, here we go.

[B]

This one, Dan, is called the bell centerpiece.

[F]

Oh,

[A]

this is pretty cool.

[B]

It's pretty cool. And they have so much history, you

[A]

know, a lot of history. It's a little presumptuous, but the cabs are presumptuous. But I'm gonna go 8.4.

[C]

They're never going to let glass like that be like. How much glass are you going to break?

[A]

Well, it's plastic.

[B]

It's plastic. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

True.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Is it plastic if it's glass? That's a 9.3 shout out.93. I'm going to give that an 8.4. That's very classy. It's very cool. It's very Montreal.

[B]

Okay. Ottawa Senators. This one is called the Filibuster.

[C]

Oh, wait, hold on.

[D]

I think you skipped one.

[C]

Yeah, we'll come back to that one.

[B]

Okay, which one's next for you?

[D]

I got the lightning.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

The Tampa Bay lights. Okay.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Go bolts.

[E]

All right. Bolts.

[A]

God, these transitions are so good. Oh, my God. I love it.

[B]

Isn't that.

[A]

I absolutely love it. I don't think that I need the handle, but I appreciate Dylan doing, like, giving it something to stand on. Yeah.

[B]

Because.

[A]

But I actually really like when you drink out of a fucking horn. Like a Viking horn. You can't put that shit down.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it's big on, like. Finish your fucking beer, pal. My only. No, I'M gonna give that a 9.1.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And the only deductions here are because of the hand. I want. I want you to have to finish your bolt.

[B]

Oh, okay. Okay. I like that. That's really good.

[A]

That is fantastic. I love it.

[B]

We lose, we lose the hand, but otherwise it's perfect.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay, next is the Leafs. This is the maple brew.

[A]

I like the name. Not. No, this isn't creative enough for. Oh, wait, no, it's maple syrup.

[B]

It's incredible.

[A]

It's maple syrup, folks. It's incredible. Dan, it's maple syrup. I'm gonna give it an 8.9. My one thing is you should only be able to drink an amber ale out of that.

[B]

So it looks.

[A]

So it looks like maple syrup.

[B]

Yep. I really like that, Dan. I really like that. That is.

[A]

It's a maple syrup bottle. That's phenomenal.

[B]

And this. Dude, there are write ups in these. And this one is so good. It says designed with a secure cap so you can tuck it into your coat for later. You know, just in case you need something to sip on.

[A]

Maybe this should be whiskey. Oh, interesting that because then it's literally a flask. And it's going to be actually the size of like a maple syrup jar right in here. Change this to whiskey and tuck it in like a flask. And now we're talking.

[B]

And it's perfect.

[C]

Yeah. We have the Ottawa.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Okay. Let's move on to senators.

[B]

Called the filibuster. Oh, okay. No rush.

[C]

Putting it in order. There we go.

[B]

And Dan, this one says it's perfect for watching a defensive grind where every inch matters and every minute feels earned. What do you think about this and this one?

[A]

I don't think I get it either. And forgive me, Ottawa folks, if I don't get what this is a reference to. I like the spiral.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

This is too cumbersome. I don't like this.

[B]

Too complex.

[A]

2.8. It's too.

[C]

No, there's multi. You can have multiple drinks at the bottom. Do you see where it's pouring?

[A]

Oh, it's like. It's like a beer tower. Yeah, but it's like.

[C]

It's like it ends up being like an entire.

[A]

Don't like it. Don't like it. I do like the reference of filler bustering though.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

In the setting. But I. 2.8.

[B]

Not.

[A]

Not for.

[B]

Okay, okay.

[C]

Loving it.

[B]

So then it goes to the canes, which is just the beer skate.

[A]

Okay. The beer skate's great. We love the beer notes.

[B]

We love this one.

[C]

We know, and it's.

[B]

It's amazing.

[A]

Beautiful.

[B]

Okay, now we go to the blue jacket stand.

[A]

Oh, my God. If this isn't a cannon, we've got issues.

[C]

Oh, it's a cannon.

[B]

The beer cannon.

[A]

Does it shoot beer into your face?

[B]

The beer cannon and Dan. I think so. You load it up, you tilt it back, and you let it pour. Whether it's a big win or one of those nights where you just need a little extra support, this thing's got your back. But sometimes you don't need answers. You just need. You need a better way to drink your beer.

[A]

I love this. I'm gonna give it a 7.5. It's not higher because I would. I would prefer it to be more traditionally shaped.

[B]

Okay, interesting.

[A]

I like the wheels, but I want more of a. I want more of a tapered shape on the canon.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Fair enough.

[A]

But that's great.

[B]

The Bruins still your leader.

[A]

Yes. I mean, that thing is unbelievable. Okay, again, if my hands fit in like hulk hands, that thing is okay.

[B]

New Jersey Devils. This is called the hell mug, Dan. Very cool.

[C]

That's pretty bad.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Looks like a delicate handle, though. That would be hard to hold.

[A]

I like the horns, and I like the bat wing.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Horns a poke your eye out, man.

[B]

Yeah, you got to be careful.

[A]

Yeah, you got to be careful. That's.

[B]

That's.

[A]

That turns into a weapon handle.

[B]

But the handle, like, lends itself to.

[A]

Not with a bad loss. That thing turns into a weapon.

[B]

Yeah. Jersey people. I don't want to give that. Jersey people.

[A]

I. I like this. I'm going to go 6.9. Nice.

[B]

Nice. And you didn't go 6.66 here.

[A]

6.9.

[B]

6.66.

[A]

This is cool. It's. It's. It's, you know, goes to. Goes to the Lord lore goes to the history. I might go more lore here, though. I might be. Make this, like, a wooden mug, like a tavern. Okay. We could have done something with a pitchfork here where the middle is a. Is a mug that could have been a full pitchfork, and there's just a mug in the middle there. I think that'd be.

[D]

The face is missing, too. Like, I'd want to see it.

[A]

Like a demon face.

[C]

You do Bloody Mary with a pitchfork holding, like, the. The pickles.

[B]

Yeah. Okay, let's go. Okay.

[A]

All right. Yeah. 6.9. That's cool. But we could have done better.

[B]

New York Islanders.

[A]

Here we go.

[C]

It's Billy Joel's head. Nope.

[A]

Oh, that's great.

[B]

The lighthouse.

[A]

That's great. Okay. Okay, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go an 8.3 here. I love this. Love the lighthouse. I would have preferred it to be more of a stein with the latch top though.

[B]

Like if you pull the thing, the top of the lighthouse opens.

[A]

No, I don't think that we have a latch top on that. Ev. I need a lot.

[B]

Well, we must, cuz that's how we drink it. Right? Like that top must go.

[A]

But I don't see a latch. I think it's probably a screw top.

[B]

You just take it off.

[C]

Screw top.

[F]

That's bad.

[B]

No, you're right. It is a screw top.

[A]

So 8.3 because it needs to be a latch top. And when I latch it, I want the light to still be on. I appreciate that we have a glowing light though. That is the key.

[B]

It does say built like a classic coastal icon and filled with golden beer. It's always shining when the game gets dark. Because whether it's smooth sailing or choppy waters, one thing thing certain, the light's always on.

[A]

Incredible. And you know what I would actually really like though? If they did a. A remote configuration here where the light goes on. If the lightning or of the islander score. Then it's a 10. Then it is a 10. That turn. That turns into a 10. Quick.

[B]

That is a move on. Next one's the New York Rangers. This is called the Brew train.

[A]

I was so ready to hate this. I don't really get it though.

[B]

It might be hard to drink out of. I think I.

[A]

You know what? This is awesome.

[B]

Yeah, it looks cool.

[A]

It's a subway car.

[B]

It's a subway car. It looks cool as hell.

[A]

That's awesome. I don't really get the shape.

[C]

Where do you drink it from?

[A]

Yeah, like I'm looking down at the bottom and it looks like a sphere or a cylindrical opening. But the top does not look like a cylinder whatsoever.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[A]

But the beer filling the windows.

[B]

But the beer filling the windows looks cool.

[A]

Phenomenal. Looks phenomenal. That's going to be an 8.1.

[D]

I think you drink it.

[A]

Okay. So it looks more like oval, like a. It's almost like a stadium.

[B]

Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice.

[A]

That's great. 8.1.

[B]

Love it. Philadelphia Flyers. Dan, this is called the Gritty Guzzler.

[A]

I knew it was going to be gritty.

[C]

That's haunting.

[B]

That's haunting.

[A]

Okay, I'm going to give this a 6.6.

[B]

Okay. Look it in the eye.

[A]

You know what, I take it back. 7.4. That's great.

[B]

The Gritty Guzzler.

[A]

No need. Listen, that. That's something that you bring home and you put in your. In your cupboard and you drink out of that during game days when you're watching at home. I mean, that's great.

[B]

That's great.

[A]

Gritty Guzzler. I would have loved maybe something. Oh, here. Here's my note. Make the googly eyes. Oh, googly eyes. Googly eyes.

[F]

Move it.

[A]

Googly eyes. When you move it and you drink and that goes up into the eights for.

[B]

Okay. Pittsburgh Penguins.

[A]

This is so fun.

[B]

These are incredible.

[A]

I don't know if the chat is liking this. I hope they are, because I love this.

[B]

They hate.

[C]

Thanks.

[B]

They hate. They hate gritty. This is called the Keglu.

[A]

This is awful.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

This is awful. It's just. It's just a cooler, but it's one

[C]

of those mini kegs.

[B]

It's an igloo.

[A]

I mean, Dylan, you were right there. You had it with the igloo. This has just got to be like an igloo.

[B]

That's what it is.

[A]

I think that that looks like a grenade. That doesn't look like an igloo at all.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. It's not rounded enough.

[C]

Yeah, it does have a little ice. Fake ice in the bottom, which I like a lot.

[A]

As far as, like, that's. That's a beer. A beer tower again.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. And like ounces.

[A]

That's cool. If I'm at a. If I'm at a Pittsburgh Penguins bar and that shows up and we ordered a beer tower, I'm. I'm happy. Yeah, but it's not igloo enough. Yeah.

[B]

Hard to drink.

[A]

It's a three point.

[B]

Okay. Washington Capitals. This is called the Ovechstick.

[E]

A lot.

[C]

Like the Beer Saber.

[A]

It's like a beer saber. I love the name.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

The Ovet shtick is great. But he's not going to be there forever, dude.

[B]

Yeah, but his memory will be.

[A]

His memory will be.

[B]

If we will always have the Ovechtek, you can always drink out of it. He would appreciate that.

[A]

I would have preferred this to be a bag of Cheetos that you drink out of. That is the homage to Ovechkin. I'm going to give this a 5.1. It's cool. It's like the saber.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Yeah, I like that. You can't put it down.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

But not a lot of inspiration here. We could have done the Capitol building. Yeah, we could have done.

[B]

Well, we kind of did that with the auto Senators.

[A]

What if we did what if it was Lincoln? Just the Lincoln Memorial Drinking Lincoln.

[B]

That's interesting.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. The Chicago Blackhawks. This is called the Chugahawk.

[A]

Oh, my God. Now we are talking another weapon.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Good.

[A]

Now you. Dude, you chug that and then you Tomahawk chop. No, not throw it.

[B]

Yeah, don't throw it.

[A]

Don't throw it.

[B]

Throw it.

[A]

You just chug it. And then tomahawk chop. They gotta start doing that FSU thing.

[D]

I think this is an fsu. I think this is also for the Braves, too. You just get the little.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Yes.

[D]

You just get that every time.

[A]

And Zach, think about it. You got people absolutely gas and beers out of this, and then they all have fucking Tomahawks.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

That's incredible. Nine point. I'm giving 9.0.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Nine flat. That is fantastic.

[B]

Isn't that one awesome?

[A]

And I really like the see through vibes that we're doing here. It's like. Because it's cool to see you. You look over at someone else who's got a chug. A hawk.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And you see how much they have left. And you have. You look at you and you go like this. Chug. And then you start fucking.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

Do you know what I'm thinking, too? Like, St. Patty's Day is huge for them, right?

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

The Green river, the whole thing. Imagine just everybody. Green beer, like, full out with the Hawks.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

This is amazing. Chug a hawk. I love.

[B]

Before you flip. This next one, it's the Absdan. It's called the St. Bernard Keg. And I just want you to know it's a nod to the legendary rescue barrels carried through the mountains.

[A]

I am aware of this, actually. Yep.

[B]

And it's made to be worn around the neck. Ready At a moment's notice. Now flip.

[C]

All right.

[A]

Oh, I don't think it looks like a barrel enough. I was so ready to love this.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

That a shot, though.

[C]

You're supposed to wear it around your neck.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Holds up to three shots of whiskey.

[A]

Okay, now we're talking.

[B]

Now we're talking, Dan. Okay.

[A]

Okay. The ingenuity. Amazing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The fact that we've gone into liquor. Amazing.

[B]

Again.

[A]

The Maple Leafs. One should have been liquor.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I love. I absolutely love. This is. I'd love a. I'd love an avalanche whistle on there. Somewhere on the cab.

[B]

Sick.

[A]

I want it to be a barrel, though.

[B]

More barrel.

[A]

I need. I want it to be a brown barrel because that's what the Saint Bernards were. I think it was like a wooden Barrel.

[B]

Right idea. More barrel.

[A]

Yeah. More barely. I'm still going to put this in the eights. 8.2 for ingenuity, liquor. Get me a whistle. Get me more barrel. And I love that.

[D]

Wait, can I pitch you on something, too?

[B]

Yes.

[D]

I honestly think this becomes like a certified hood classic at skiing. Like, I think everybody is wearing this skiing. I think it's a little dangerous because if you fall, it's around your neck.

[B]

But it's okay. It's platinum.

[D]

We're fine. I think that is a. On every. You know, in Colorado. It's everywhere.

[A]

Couldn't agree more to have the whistles. Yeah, you're so right. You go to an abs game, you get this, and then you bring it skiing with you. That's another fact. Such a good point.

[B]

And they're like, abs fan, dude.

[A]

I got absolutely love. Absolutely love.

[B]

Okay. The Dallas. The Dallas Stars. This is called the long pour.

[A]

Awesome. Awesome.

[B]

Awesome.

[A]

That is awesome. I mean, you could have just gone the horn. Yeah, but that wouldn't feel Texas enough.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

So the fact that it's the long horn. Long poor skull that we're drinking out of, fantastic. I do think everything's bigger in Texas. I need this to be like three beers.

[B]

It's 32 ounces.

[A]

Amazing.

[B]

Holds up to 32 ounces. Poor long pour.

[C]

Proud down, though.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That is going to be a 9.2 over the hawk. I did a 9 point. No, that's going to be an 8.9 then.

[B]

Okay. Okay.

[A]

Because that's not over the hawk. Thank you for checking me on that, but that is phenomenal. It looks like down at the nostril holes, too. That's like. You can get your hands there.

[B]

You can get your hands in there. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. That's really good.

[B]

This one I think you're going to love. This is the Minnesota Wild. It's called the Beer Antler.

[A]

That's great. That's great.

[B]

So many ways to hold it there.

[A]

I. It's going to be tough getting beer out of those. Those. The points.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. How does it flow?

[A]

I. It's not shaped like an antler enough for me.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I wonder if we could have done something with lakes here.

[B]

Oh, we could have, you know, but I don't know. That might have been hard, too.

[A]

I feel like we're missing an opportunity with lake life.

[C]

I feel like we're missing an opportunity to sell this at, like, the Romantics Erotic store. There's something a little phallic about the bottom. I'm sorry.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

There sure is.

[A]

That could be stuck into something. Yeah, yeah. I. Listen, I really dig this. I think we miss an opportunity with lakes. I think we missed an opportunity with the Minnesota State Fair. Oh, maybe it could have been a sweet. Just a sweet Martha's Cookie Bucket.

[B]

Yeah. Just a bucket of beer.

[A]

But no, it's got to be to the wild. I do. I want. I would have liked lake life in here. But this. This is solid. I'm going to go. I'm going to go a 7.9.

[B]

Okay. Nashville Predators. You know what? This one's going to be the Saber Bruth.

[A]

I don't like this.

[B]

It had to be this. But it's.

[A]

I disagree. I think you got to go now. I think you got to go Broadway. This had to be musically inspired.

[C]

Also drank out of a catfish. Just a dead catfish.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

That's got to be this. This needed to be musically inclined. And also the Saber Bruth is a great name. So for the name alone, we're going to get into the fives, and it's going to be a 5.9. Shout out Roman. Yossi. It's just there. It doesn't even look like a saber tooth.

[B]

Yeah, you know, it's. It's tricky. Yeah, it's a tricky one.

[A]

The name is phenomenal names.

[B]

Phenomenal. Okay, here you go, though, Dan. The St. Louis Blues, the beer trumpet.

[C]

Here's your music.

[A]

That is fantastic.

[C]

It has to travel so far to get to your mouth. Let's go through all because you could

[A]

have gone simple here and just done a note, a music note, but you went a full trumpet.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Can you drink, like, for intricacy alone? If. If those things work?

[C]

Yeah, that's how you stop.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, dude, stop it.

[A]

Oh, if that closes like a valve.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Phenomenal for the.

[C]

If you can play music.

[A]

That's just a trumpet, dude.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

For the intricacy alone and what it would take to create that.

[C]

What was like the World cup where they had the vuvazellas. What if it just made a noise, too?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Pretty dope if that all. Oh, my God. I'm gonna go 8.8. For intricacy alone. That's phenomenal. Amazing.

[B]

Okay. The mammoth. You know what this one's gonna be?

[A]

This is if.

[B]

Tusks up, baby.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, we're getting this shape a lot.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. That's similar to this Saber booth, but the beer tusk, I think you had to do it. You had to do it. The only other one would have been cool is if it was a trunk.

[B]

Oh, okay. Oh, Interesting. Yeah.

[A]

You could get phallic.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Dude, they're all kind of. But that's. This is still a little phallic.

[D]

This is.

[A]

But the mammoths, your guys's penises aren't that shaped. The mammoths drink out of their trunks.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[A]

We should be drinking out of our trunks.

[C]

It's true.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But the tusks up would. Is great because you could then say tusks up and that means drink.

[C]

What if it's just a Book of Mormon? You open up and there's a flask inside of it, like cut in the

[A]

pages and you're like, I don't think we had any choice here.

[B]

Yeah. Hands are tied.

[A]

Yeah, I'm going to. I'm going to go 7.3.

[B]

That was nice.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

All right. All right.

[B]

Winnipeg Jets. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this.

[C]

This one is.

[B]

This is the beer helmet.

[C]

He put it on.

[D]

You wear that. You wear that.

[B]

Built like a fighter pilot helmet and ready for takeoff. This is hands free, full send. Drinking at cruising altitude.

[A]

It's called Jet. I didn't even see the name. I was going to say, I want this to be jet fuel. And it straight up could have just been a can.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Like, look. Look like a can of petrol. And it just says jet fuel on it. That. That I would have given a good score. Like, if everyone's got like a nice, like gray steel tin that clearly looks like, you know, it's shaped like an oil can and it just says jet fuel on it and people are drinking out of oil cans, I would have given that in the nines. This is insane.

[C]

You can't see out of it.

[B]

It says. It says you have to drink fast or you're going to have to start redefining. What, Beer goggles.

[A]

So this is 32 ounces. You put on the helmet, does that hose then like go up and under in your mouth?

[B]

Yeah, I think so.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Have a phenomenal comment from errybackwoods. He said, gas mask for alcoholics.

[B]

Yeah. That is amazing, Jerry.

[A]

Gas masks for alcoholics. That's correct. This is a 9.5 though. The funny thing is this thing costs $200.

[B]

Anyone? Here's my favorite part about this. Anyone you see at the stadium also wearing one of these, you know, fucks with you. You know, like, you look across the section and there's all a guy in another jet fuel helmet and you're like,

[C]

yeah, you're going to literally bump into.

[B]

You're like, let's go, bro. Like, you are so you are so fired up to see that guy. That's incredible. Okay, 95, Dan.

[A]

I mean, 95 again, you have to charge $250 for this, but I think when you buy it, you get free beer for the rest of the game. Yeah, but you. But you. When you go up to get filled up, you have to have it on.

[B]

Yes, correct.

[D]

I got one More comment at kaden9327 said. Talk about beer vision.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Beer goggles for sure.

[B]

Holy shit.

[C]

What's the next one?

[B]

Okay, the Anaheim Ducks. This is the wild wing.

[C]

Oh, what is that?

[B]

I think you drink out of that.

[A]

I don't like this.

[B]

This is my least favorite one.

[A]

I don't like in the whole batch. It's like a cool figurine, but, like, am I supposed to be drinking out of the. The horn he's wearing? And what is that?

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

He's got a horn and he's drinking out of the horn.

[B]

It's a duck call, maybe.

[A]

Oh, maybe it's a duck call. That's kind of cool, but we could have done something with a bill here. Yeah, maybe. I'm giving this a 1.2.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Don't like him.

[B]

The wild ring.

[A]

He's filled with beer.

[B]

Yeah, he is.

[C]

Yeah, he's filled with beer.

[A]

Yeah, I don't like it. 1.2.

[B]

1.2 on the wild wing. Okay, now we go to the Calgary Flames. This is called the fire hose.

[A]

Other than the nozzle, it doesn't look like a fire hose. 2.2.

[B]

Great idea.

[A]

Great fire hose is brilliant. But isn't that putting out the flames? True.

[B]

Interesting. Okay, we don't want to put the flames out.

[A]

We got a lot of rodeo stuff here, bull stuff here. We could have done more stuff with that. I do. Again, I don't like that fire hoses are putting out flames.

[B]

Yeah. That's an interesting thing. I really like that idea. But now you're bringing up a good point.

[A]

Maybe. You know what this should be is the flames thrower.

[B]

The flamethrower.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

Just sh. A little beer out.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. 2.2.2.

[B]

I like this. Okay. All right. Now we go to the Edmonton Oilers. And this one, I did feel like our hands are tied, but this is the oil drum.

[A]

Give me an oil drum. It's not oil drum.

[B]

It is in shape, though.

[C]

Be more rounded.

[A]

Yeah. And all it is. Yeah, it's too. It's. It's too tall, and it's. It's also trying to give you more beer, Dan, but The see through doesn't work on this one. This needs to be a red oil drum with a literal screw top on the top.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

I love. The oil drum is the perfect name. This is the perfect idea. Well done, Dylan. The execution is not good. This is a 5.9, 5.8.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Okay, people, the one more comment.

[B]

Yeah. You monitor the chat.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Underscore 88. Underscore. Goldford USA said.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

This is just not it. It's just a Stanley Cup. This is a worst Stanley Cup.

[A]

There's no way to hold it.

[D]

Ain't no way to grab it, nothing.

[A]

This, it needs to be red. It needs to be a red oil drum. Like, I want it to look dangerous.

[B]

I like that, Dan.

[A]

I like that. Yeah.

[B]

Okay, then we go to rig a royal rig. Yeah, we go to the kings. The king's beer scepter.

[A]

Nice. I was curious what we were going to do with the kings. Obviously it had to be royal. You could have done a very simple chalice. Chalice.

[C]

That's the Montreal one, though.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

But then. Yeah. I think I like a scepter here.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

I like that there's a crown, if you will, at the top. We're gonna go expansion and go six, seven.

[B]

Hey, I don't.

[A]

You did everything right. The beer scepter is. Scepter is royal.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

It's. It's. It connects. I think you did everything right, Dylan.

[B]

I just don't.

[A]

I'm not loving what I'm looking at.

[B]

Okay, so, so idea is there?

[A]

Yeah. The execution.

[B]

We gotta fix the execution.

[A]

The idea is there.

[B]

Okay. The San Jose Sharks. This is called the Megala beer.

[C]

Shark tooth.

[A]

Shark tooth. Megala beer is good. Megalabir is very good.

[B]

It is very good.

[A]

Again, we were kind of pigeonholed.

[B]

I think you had to do this.

[A]

You have to do shark tooth. I would, I would. I'm going to say here on this one too. I don't like see through. I would have liked this to be accurately colored. Like a tooth.

[B]

Tooth.

[A]

So it looks like a tooth.

[B]

Okay, so you like what, you want this to be white?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Okay.

[A]

Well, if we're brushing our teeth, we hope sharks. Hope sharks could be a little more

[C]

bone, maybe a little blood on there,

[B]

some little blood on the end. Okay.

[A]

That's how it gets. I would have liked this to be bone colored. Little blood on there. Maybe like a crack in it.

[D]

I also think like a shark mouth that you drink out of would be kind of cool.

[B]

Oh, okay. Like if the cup.

[A]

Hold on. I got it. You got me there. I got it. Take notes from the abs.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

This has got to be a shark tooth tooth necklace.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And a screw top on the tip of the tooth.

[C]

And you.

[A]

And I want it to be big.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

I should use my fucking microphone. I want it to be big. I want it to be like a Flavor Flav clock.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Where you have to flip it upside down so the tip of the tooth is now facing your mouth. Unscrew it. Drink.

[C]

Actually says on the bottom right, there's a clip feature, so maybe that is.

[B]

Okay, that's interesting. That's interesting. I thought you were gonna say Dan. It's. It's a shark tooth necklace, but there's a ton of them, and, like, each one is a shot, you know?

[A]

Let's go, let's go. 7.4 here.

[B]

Okay, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.

[E]

There's the clip.

[A]

Yeah, there's a clip.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah.

[A]

Shark tooth. We had no choice.

[B]

All right. The Seattle Kraken. This is called the Tentacle.

[A]

Very cool. Love it. Also, we were kind of pigeonholed here. Tentacag is a good name. Kind of hard to hold, but I. I'm. I'm down because it makes you drink your beer.

[B]

Yeah. Right, Right. Fair enough.

[C]

It feels like it would spill all over you too.

[B]

Yeah, that's my concern.

[C]

Maybe that. Maybe that's part of the fun because it's same time.

[B]

But I guess. But I guess, you know, you're in the seat.

[A]

I think I like this. I'm not. I'm not gonna go higher than sevens with things like the sharks and like this, where it's just like. It's kind of just the. The thing that you're now drinking out of.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

But this is cool. 7.1.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

All right.

[B]

7.1 on the tentacake. Now we go. The Vancouver Canucks. This is called the Whale Tail Ale.

[A]

Fantastic name. Fantastic name.

[D]

Ipa.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Right. Dude, how do we not have that? There must be.

[A]

So this is kind of contradictory because I just said with the flames. We're putting out the flames. But I maybe would have liked, like, a harpoon here.

[B]

Oh, Dan. But that's like, we cannot be having. We cannot be harpooning.

[A]

We can't be harpooning whales. So the whale tail. Could we have done something maybe with a dorse. With the blowhole? Oh, you're drinking out of a blow hole.

[B]

Maybe. Maybe.

[A]

This is cool. But in same category, we've got a lot of ocean creatures here on the Pacific.

[B]

You don't realize.

[A]

I guess Pacific Division 7. 7. This isn't better than the. The. The Kraken 7 flat.

[B]

Okay, 7.0 and the last one. Dan. The Vegas Golden Knights. This is called the Night cap.

[C]

Holy.

[A]

The budget that Vegas and Jets have is unbelievable. Nightcap is brilliant. I would have loved to Lance here.

[B]

Interesting.

[A]

I would have. I'm not saying I don't like this. I would have loved a Lance here. I would have loved. I mean, you get to wear the

[B]

hell night's helm and it's an incredible name.

[A]

This is great. 9.1.

[B]

9.1 for the nightcap.

[C]

250.

[B]

Yes. Unlimited beer again.

[A]

250 unlimited beer.

[B]

If you go up and you're wearing it can.

[A]

Because let's be honest, guys, if we went to T Mobile and went to a Golden Knights game and saw someone wearing that, we would go. That is incredible.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Yeah, I might have to buy it.

[A]

That's a 9.1.

[B]

Because it says. It says welcome to Sin City. Out here there are no rules, no limits. No reason to take it slow.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And you put that. You put the nightcap on. So I believe Dan, unless you want to reevaluate. The winner is the Bruins. The Boston Bruins. The right to bear arms.

[A]

The first one I follow up is the Chicago one. I think I got. Yeah, that one is sick. I think I got so horned up I wasn't sure what to expect. But even looking back, that is just awesome.

[C]

Putting your hand.

[B]

If you can put your hand.

[A]

If your hands go in. I also. I want. They can't be rubber like hulk hands. I do want fur on those hands.

[C]

Yeah, that's real.

[B]

For real fur.

[A]

I mean, that is great.

[B]

So that wins. And then second was the Tomahawk, I think.

[A]

Or the. Either that or the Jet Fuel Chicago. Or the Jet Fuel Chicago was great because of what this provides.

[B]

Incredible effort.

[A]

What. What the. What the Chugahawk provides is. It was just. It would be amazing.

[C]

Yeah. I could literally see that. That being made.

[A]

Same dude. I'm telling you right now, teams are going to steal these ideas.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Dylan, your friend needs to get on, dude.

[B]

You got to start making products right now.

[A]

I mean, this is unbelievable. All right, let's get these images out of here. Shout out us.

[B]

Hell of a performance.

[A]

Hell of a performance. Dylan. That was fantastic. Great work for providing us some content. That's going to be it for this episode.
