Transcript

[Dan Powers]

The Stanley cup final, the final series, the final handshake line, the final chance to have your heart broken or watch

[Chris Powers]

your team make history.

[Dan Powers]

For the next few weeks, nothing else matters.

[Chris Powers]

No work, no sleep, tons of group chat, meltdowns after every goal.

[Dan Powers]

It comes down to two teams. The Carolina Hurricanes chasing their first Stanley

[Chris Powers]

cup in 20 years, and the Vegas Golden Knights, the young franchise going for their second cup in nine years.

[Dan Powers]

Two fan bases, two cities, one cup.

[Chris Powers]

And while the rest of the hockey world watches from home, we're hitting the road. From opening puck drop to the moment the Stanley cup is raised. Every city, every game, every unforgettable moment will be there. Outside the arenas, inside the arenas with

[Dan Powers]

Hurricanes fans who have waited years for

[Chris Powers]

this run and Golden Knights fans ready to turn Vegas into the center of the hockey universe once again.

[Dan Powers]

Nobody does the playoffs like hockey fans. Nobody travels like hockey fans, and nobody loses their minds quite like hockey fans.

[Chris Powers]

So whether you're chasing your first cup

[Dan Powers]

or adding another banner to the Raptors, we've got you covered.

[Chris Powers]

Miles on the road, voices nearly gone,

[Dan Powers]

probably a few terrible decisions along the way, exactly how the Stanley cup final should be.

[Chris Powers]

One trophy, one champion, one last push. The Stanley cup final starts now, and empty Netters is coming with it. How about that intro? And we are back. We are live after Game 2 of the Stanley cup final. This is the Empty Netters podcast, brought to you by BetMGM. And let me tell you what, folks. That was one of the best hockey games I have ever seen in my life. Dude.

[Dan Powers]

And 50 minutes in, it was horrible.

[Chris Powers]

It was horrible for the Canes and horrible for Canes.

[Dan Powers]

Even for. I mean, Vegas fans were having a hoot, but for any neutral or Canes fan for 50 minutes, I was like, this game stinks.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

What? This game stinks. And then it was just. To the moon.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, to the moon. It was so funny. I was all over the under all game and I was right up until about four minutes left.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

And I couldn't be happier that that one didn't hit because that game, that third period into overt, that electricity in the Lenny was out of control. It was out of control. We keep talking about how loud that barn is. My we. It's two games. My voice is already lost.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, smoked.

[Chris Powers]

People were going nuts. We had rally tarps off all over that arena. Jarvey said after the game, he was like, it's not. It's cold in here. Like, yeah, yeah. It is not warm in here. All those guys up in the stands are going Tarps off. Unbelievable. Unbelievable stuff, man.

[Dan Powers]

Dude, how many rounds I. One of the Canes I got. I have so much to say. But one of the Canes fans was like, oh, we go to OT every game too. Have they gone to overtime? Game two of every series.

[Zach]

I feel like they have, I believe.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

No, no, they. Yeah, they. It was Flyers.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

Ottawa. I can't forget.

[Dan Powers]

I can't forget.

[Chris Powers]

Ottawa. I can't remember.

[Dan Powers]

Flyers.

[Chris Powers]

Yes. Habs. Yes. Now Vegas, Ottawa.

[Dan Powers]

Feels like the Martinook game. I feel like that was game two and we were in fucking Tampa.

[Chris Powers]

Might have been ev. Look that up if you can. But either way, if it's four for

[Zach]

four or three for four Canadians was OT game two?

[Chris Powers]

Yep. No, no, Ottawa, Round one. Oh, that was the one we can't remember, but I think it was.

[Zach]

It was 2 OT. So they've 3, 2.

[Dan Powers]

They're 40 in all four rounds. Game two, overtime.

[Chris Powers]

Unbelievable.

[Zach]

That means they're going to win the series.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, they won every series.

[Chris Powers]

Unbelievable.

[Dan Powers]

Incredible.

[Chris Powers]

There's so much to get into in this game and our day, our like last couple of days here in Raleigh, which is just like I. I'm having a blast. I'm having a blast. We've had some unbelievable food. We've had some unbelievable interactions. We've got breaking news. Dylan Larkin requests a trade. Reportedly was requesting a trade out of Detroit. We're going to get into that at the end of the episode because right now we got to talk about the game. But we have so many amazing fan interactions, so many incredible moments, a lot of shout outs and I do have to say shout out. My boy Ryan.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Because he found me. My guy found me. First guy to find me at Stanley cup live on the NHL YouTube pregame show. He got me some rips, dude. So I'm going to be at the end of this episode. There he goes. I'm going to be at the end of this episode, going to be ripping some nice Pokemon cards at the end of this one. It's going to be fantastic. Stick around. So cp, where do you want to start on this one?

[Dan Powers]

Okay, man, I. Let's get some of the early stuff out of the way cuz all the, all the great action came late. Well, it came late. Came also shout out that girl that had the great action pendant, dude.

[Zach]

Okay, yeah, that's part of the shout outs. That was Charlie.

[Dan Powers]

Charlie.

[Zach]

Her name's Charlie. She plays hockey. She's a right wing, but she shoots left.

[Dan Powers]

Incredible. That's how all the greats do it. That's how all the greats do it.

[Chris Powers]

That's some reverse OV shout out to

[Zach]

Kristen who brought her and. And got pictures with us and was super cool and built those great action necklaces.

[Chris Powers]

I mean, Charlie. Charlie came up. Charlie must have been what, like seven.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Eight years old. And she had a custom made great action medallion on. And then I'll tell you what, man, there are a lot of moments in this gig which is like, who has it better than us?

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

That get me legitimately emotional. Seeing Charlie, seeing young Charlie wearing that necklace with a great action pendant on it, I. I almost got teary eyed.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

On live television.

[Dan Powers]

That was great. Yeah. Because we were live on Stanley cup live. And I. I turned around, I thought I was just a fan. I was like, yeah, let's go. And then she goes, great action.

[Chris Powers]

So good, by the way. Yeah, great. Yes.

[Dan Powers]

Boom.

[Zach]

She also told a story about this. She wanted to tell about this guy named Archie. I think it's her brother, if I'm remembering, who literally had his thumbs cut off by a saw. And the Oats. 2001. 2002 playoffs that the Canes were going against Detroit, I believe.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

And the. The doctor was like, you have to get this reattached. But they were going to go to like, I think it was game one of that series. And he's like, I can't miss this game. I want to go to this game.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

So he just had him cut his thumb off. They were like, I'm just don't reattach it. Literally sacrificed his thumb.

[Chris Powers]

So Kristen's brother Archie just has no thumb.

[Zach]

Well, he has.

[Dan Powers]

He has no. Yeah, he's.

[Zach]

He's tip of it was.

[Dan Powers]

He's got. He's lost his thumb tip. Commitment. Commitment. He's.

[Zach]

That's a Kaniak.

[Evan]

They said he gives a four and a half high five.

[Zach]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

He's giving the era. The era of. With the era of the iPhone button. Must have been a nightmare for.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

A nightmare.

[Chris Powers]

Before we move, better learn to use

[Dan Powers]

the other hand before we move to full FaceTime. It must or face face unlock. It must have been a nightmare. Okay, so here's the only things from the beginning for me. McNabb takes one off the beak. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Nabber did not return.

[Dan Powers]

No, he did not. 87 mile an hour slap shot.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. That was brutal. That was one of those plays that happened. It hits nabber. Jordan Stahl was like the first, I think to be like, oh, oh. Everyone in the ice kind of stopped everything. It looks like it caught A bit of visor, thank goodness, I hope, dude. But it does look like it hit the beak. And I'm going to be honest, listen, there's a lot of orbital stuff going on down there, so you hope nothing there is affected, but I. I'm wondering if maybe dodged a bullet there, no pun intended, with a head shot, but if that hit his mouth, jaw, we could have a McAvoy situation that could have been, you know, at least two, three weeks he would have been out for the series. We'll wait to see on that. But obviously anytime you see someone get hurt, it's no fun. Bad news. So sending our thoughts to Nabra, hopefully.

[Dan Powers]

Okay, a couple people in the chat are saying he and Connor shout out, dude, I'm so sorry. You drove 12 hours to the wrong game.

[Chris Powers]

But still, Connor, your sacrifice got that.

[Dan Powers]

Your sacrifice got this win and thank you for your service. But a bunch of people, Connor included, saying he went to the hospital. And then Ryan says Kaplan said on the broadcast he was seen leaving the arena in flip flops. I think that means, like, he was walking around fine. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

But I mean, like, that's.

[Dan Powers]

We.

[Chris Powers]

We can never know with that. I mean, it's good that at least maybe it sounds like he wasn't too concussed.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

But either way, you're gonna have to

[Dan Powers]

get and says she felt the need to specify the flip flops. Yeah. Shout out.

[Zach]

If you're really bad. The doctors do not let you wear.

[Dan Powers]

Correct.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, definitely not. You're putting on sketchers if it's real bad shape.

[Evan]

Is it what flip flops, like, kind of what they give you in the hospital anyways, Like.

[Dan Powers]

Well, no, he was. He was leaving the ring. He was leaving the ring. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

And you got grippy socks in there, too.

[Dan Powers]

Grippy socks, yeah. So he could be back. He could be back with a. With a cage or a bubble or whatever. But yeah, that looked catastrophic. The way he got off scary was scary because you're like, it was great

[Chris Powers]

that he popped up and skated off. I mean, it's. It's terrible when you pop up and you immediately go to the gate. Yeah. Because you're like, oh, something. Something really bad happened. But that popped him in.

[Dan Powers]

It was crazy. Dude, the slow mo is. Is a nightmare. Okay, then. Howden scores on Vegas. Only gets two shots in the first. It was another first period where I went, okay, here we go again. This is ridiculous.

[Chris Powers]

I don't want to say nightmare first for the canes, but go ahead. It was but it wasn't nightmare, right? Nightmare. First is I. I could think of four other scenarios where it's nightmare. Frustrating as hell. First you really. I thought. I thought the Canes totally outplayed them in that first period. They were really all over them. They were dominating them in shots. And then just a weird play that started with a brilliant clear. I need people to watch back that goal. Howden is red hot. We were talking to him at media day pre game, talking about how he's scoring at will. The guy is so horned up out there it's unbelievable. But that play starts with the D zone clearance. I don't know who spooned that out, but that was it. Mitchell fucking of course. Course. Insane Mitch Marner gets that puck in a high tension situation for Vegas and he gets the puck on his backhand and the ability to under pressure there to have the presence of mind to up and over loft that out on your backhand. Not an icing. And give your forward, who has a bit of jump and a bit of juice, a chance to chase it down. Those are game breaking plays.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

Those are Con Smythe plays. So go back and watch that goal and appreciate that. That was made by Marner's skill to be able to do that. But then Howden just chases it down, makes it enough of a headache for the D man and scores. Touch right now. Second shot of the game for Vegas and it goes, you know, bar and in essentially. Or it's in that same spot we keep talking about, the seven hole. And it's just tough for Freddie because it's easy to get on Freddie there. But you said it perfectly. It's like, what, what was that, 15 minutes in or something? Yeah, 12, 13 minutes in. The guy has seen one fucking biscuit and then all of a sudden, boom. Break away from goal scorer on the team. That is an absolute dick kick.

[Dan Powers]

That's what I was going to say. I said to you in the game, I was like, this is so legitimately, you know, I always do my thing where I'm like, if you go up to nothing, you're going to stop scoring, stop scoring. It's too much. I legitimately think the Canes should give up more shots. I think it is actually detrimental to their goalie that he faces no shots. Somebody in this beaked me the other day. That or they weren't sure. But actually. But I had just said, you can't win a series by not shooting. Yeah, because that's what Montreal just proved. And they were like, dude, the Cats. The Cats swept us by getting 15 shots a game. And I was like, you're probably right. I haven't gone back and looked, but it's because There's. Freddy goes 12 minutes of game time without seeing pucks, and then all of a sudden, he's like, oh, yeah. Like, legitimately, I think they should give up more shots because it is an impossible task. It's insane.

[Chris Powers]

So really, I think we're seeing it a lot these playoffs. I think it's become more of a trend. We kind of did this on the show earlier this season where we were kind of looking at the shots per season. Y. Yeah, but I think anyone can see there's. There's been a lot of low shooting games these playoffs. And, yeah, we're seeing. I mean, we had a bunch of examples of teams that get up early and they, they kind of second period, beginning of the third, they're up and they, they turn it off because they're like, just protect the game. And it's not sitting back. It's just kind of like, protect the game and we're golden. And that was happening a lot. But, man, it's like, that is just such a brutal way to give up the first goal if you're Freddy.

[Dan Powers]

Yes, exactly. And, and that you to piggyback on your frustrating. Right after that, there was an insanely good Cane's chance that Carter Hart made a save on. There's a couple doorstep things. They just, they felt like they were all around the net, Got absolutely nothing. You go to the break. Down one.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Then we go into the second, and Howden again on a pretty good pass. He makes a good cut, and that's a good pass to get him by.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

But then he, like, just. I felt like that I like. I don't know how that happened.

[Chris Powers]

I liked the move.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

I, I. Whenever a puck gets right on top of the goaltender like that, it's almost like PK in soccer where you're almost. I don't want to say you're guessing, but you do kind of have to commit one way or the other. And it was just again, goal scorers touch right now. Howdy. Is out of control.

[Dan Powers]

13, 13 goals.

[Chris Powers]

And I thought it was a good move, good finish. And then, yeah, you're up two nothing. We head into the third and into the third like, shit.

[Dan Powers]

So, yeah, that's the first two periods. You know, again, it was a bit of a. Of a slog. That's when we ran into Kelly again. And Kelly, not to chirp you here on the live Kelly, but you Kelly said, you know, if hopefully. Hopefully I see you on game five,

[Chris Powers]

but I don't even know.

[Dan Powers]

And I said. I said, don't talk like that in front of me.

[Chris Powers]

Don't you dare.

[Dan Powers]

Don't you dare.

[Chris Powers]

Don't say that to me.

[Dan Powers]

There were children there to.

[Chris Powers]

Put your hand up. Don't say that to me.

[Dan Powers]

Don't say that.

[Chris Powers]

Don't say that to me.

[Dan Powers]

He's paralyzed from the waist down. Listen, there were children there, Kelly, and we need to be setting an example for the children. They are our future.

[Chris Powers]

They are our future. And we cannot be naysayers. So we were. We were shooting a lot of life in Canes.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

Saying just a couple of go. All we needed was one.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

All we needed was one.

[Dan Powers]

We just needed one. And I said, there was another guy. I saw it and I said, well, we'll get to that. We'll get to that. So listen.

[Chris Powers]

Hey, hey, but hold on. Before we get into the third period.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

Were you about to jump into the third?

[Dan Powers]

I was about to jump into an AD break.

[Chris Powers]

Well, before we jump, that's. Hey, we're synced up right now.

[Dan Powers]

Sick.

[Chris Powers]

Because before you jump into the third, I want to talk about Sup Dogs and then let's get into an ad.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Because someone just want to give a

[Chris Powers]

quick shout out because we're talking Kelly. Yep. Beautiful, unbelievable human being. Kelly, our new best friend. Game one gave us that list of

[Dan Powers]

things to do and we failed too much of it.

[Chris Powers]

We just didn't get a lot of it. We knew it was going to take a couple of games. We. We went to Sup Dog today and anyone. Canes fans, obviously you're aware of Sub Dog. Anyone who's not aware of Sub Dog? Apparently there's one in Chapel Hill. There's one like Asheville. Someone said.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, Green something.

[Chris Powers]

Greenboro. Greenboro. Zach.

[Evan]

Greensboro.

[Chris Powers]

That's a thing. Green Greens. Greensboro is a place in North Carolina.

[Evan]

Place in North Carolina.

[Chris Powers]

Okay. So I think there's one in Chapel Hill. There's one in Greensboro, and there is one in Lenovo center, buddy. We're hot dog guys. Yeah, Big time hot dog guys. We are from the hometown of the greatest hot dog in the United States. The world flows.

[Dan Powers]

It's. Apparently it's Greenville.

[Chris Powers]

Greenville. Well, Greensboro is a thing. Probably Greenville.

[Zach]

Where?

[Dan Powers]

So. Yeah. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Yep. But that was a fucking delicious hot dog. I sucked that thing down my gullet

[Dan Powers]

like it was your last meal on earth.

[Chris Powers]

My job.

[Dan Powers]

If you 3 bet get gif of

[Chris Powers]

like a bunch of hot Dogs hitting a dog in the face. That was me. If we weren't there working, I was prepared to go back to sub dog and go, give me four more. Yeah, right now. It was delicious. The bunny was so soft and melty. The. The dog was juicy and voluptuous. The chili was perfectly crafted. The perfect consistency layered on the dog. I got the slaw dog. There was chili on top of it and then slaw on top of that. I didn't spill one sack.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, you didn't think about that.

[Chris Powers]

I ate a chili dog and didn't have a single drop of spillage.

[Dan Powers]

Did you? What was on your guys, because you just got the sup dog.

[Zach]

We got the regular. Oh, yeah, sorry. We gotta turn the mic on. We got the regular plain.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

First option, the classic.

[Dan Powers]

So what. What was that?

[Chris Powers]

Just don't call that regular. Don't call that plane.

[Dan Powers]

It's classic.

[Zach]

Well, no, it was good. It was very good. Nothing regular about it.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

I think it was just a dog with chili. The chili. And then there was some kind of a white sauce.

[Chris Powers]

There was a nice sauce on there.

[Zach]

No idea what it was.

[Dan Powers]

Okay.

[Zach]

But I ate it too fast to even register in my head what it was.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Could have been anything.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, really could have been. So basically the sub dog is a chili dog. And then there are variations. Yours had slaw on it, mine had bacon on it.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

And then I got a crush. I got a creamsicle crush.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, those are great, too.

[Dan Powers]

And it was tremendous. But the crushes were special.

[Chris Powers]

I think I said in the video that Zach was. Zach and Evan were making. I was like, sometimes there's novelty things at games and you're like, you get it. You eat it. And you're like, yeah, that's good. You know, it's kind of a arena stadium novelty. That's like. I kind of feel like shit now. Yeah, buddy. I'm telling you.

[Dan Powers]

Jesus Christ.

[Chris Powers]

We're going to get a great.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, yeah, Lizzie Goblin.

[Zach]

This might be my favorite picture of Dan ever.

[Dan Powers]

This looks special moment, everybody.

[Chris Powers]

Hey, also, let me tell you what,

[Dan Powers]

that was a special moment.

[Chris Powers]

Let me tell you what. I've got tmj. After I broke my jaw, I fucking unlatched that thing like it was a suitcase so I could stuff that down my throat. Look at that bite. It's unbelievable.

[Dan Powers]

It was necessary.

[Chris Powers]

It was necessary. So shout out sup, dog. And shout out all the amazing gals. They're working. They were so nice and so amazing. But this is my.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. She had a Hollywood.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Shout out.

[Chris Powers]

Holly.

[Dan Powers]

That was Holly.

[Chris Powers]

Holly was delightful. If you are going to game five and you have not had Sub Dog, get your buns.

[Dan Powers]

Here's the question though. Here's an important question.

[Chris Powers]

Okay.

[Dan Powers]

Can. Can anyone get in there?

[Chris Powers]

I don't know.

[Dan Powers]

I actually think Sub Dog is like reserved for the. For the. For the upper class. Like I think. I'm just saying, dude, people. No, that's what I'm saying. But it might not be. Put it better than like.

[Chris Powers]

But Zach, I think it's actually in that reserve level. Like, I don't think.

[Dan Powers]

That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't think you can go in there without a ticket that gets you into that area.

[Chris Powers]

We.

[Zach]

We need to free Sub Dog and get it.

[Dan Powers]

Get it to the people. That's what I mean. I can't believe the choice I'm gonna

[Chris Powers]

station choice with being a bougie piece of.

[Dan Powers]

Keep it a class system. Keep it a class system. That's sad. I don't think you. I think Zuff Dog is only. Is only for the rich.

[Chris Powers]

This is like the lounges at airports. When we start letting everybody in, it's not special anymore.

[Zach]

While we're talking about nice, classy people, there was a man named Rob.

[Chris Powers]

Okay.

[Zach]

Came to us right before the game and unloaded three blue moons on us and was like, hey.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, is that where we got those? Hell yeah.

[Zach]

Thank you for the. He couldn't go to the game. He was just hanging out and he's like, I gotta go home. Take my daughter. We're gonna.

[Chris Powers]

What a legend.

[Evan]

Shout out his daughter for the pronunciation as well of what. What was it was this.

[Zach]

That was a different. That was a different person.

[Chris Powers]

That was a different one.

[Evan]

Oh.

[Zach]

Oh, yeah, you're right. She said Schnikov.

[Evan]

Very cool.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, she's very rush.

[Zach]

So courteous and cool.

[Chris Powers]

So yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, dude. Yeah. Agree dude. Move petition to move Sup dog to outside section 110. Like please bring it to the people.

[Chris Powers]

Please. Oh, please give Rome to the people.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

All right, let's hear from bed. Mgm.

[Dan Powers]

Okay, let's go to bed. Mgm.

[Zach]

Give us a sec. We're gonna pull up the.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, cool, guys. Wow, that's awesome. They're gonna love this.

[Chris Powers]

Over top bro says uno momento. He got it up on medium.

[Dan Powers]

They are going to love this. Oh, is it good? We did it. Great job, boys. Incredible. All playoffs long bet MGM is turning every shot, every save, every sudden death thriller just like we had tonight in Game 2 of the Stanley cup finals into an even Bigger win with the Stanley Cup Playoffs odds boost token. How about that? Here's how you get in on the fun. I love an odds boost. Everybody knows I love an odds boost. I say this all the time. All you have to do is log into your BetMGM account. Had any NHL playoff wager to your bet slip, you could have bet a Seth Jarvis point today and you would have won that bet. You could have bet a stank of an anytime goal score, you would have won that bet. And then you just activate the Stanley Cup Playoffs odds boost token. And if your boosted bet hits, you get an even bigger payout. If you are not skating with the BET MGM crew yet, now is the time to join. You use that bonus code, netters. That's N E T T E R S. When you sign up and you get your welcome offer and then you get the odds boost token and you get the hat trick jackpot. And it's amazing and you're amazing and everything's amazing. Bet mgm. Make it legendary.

[Chris Powers]

Wow. Make it legendary. Speaking of legendary, let's talk about a legendary third period.

[Dan Powers]

Yes, Dan. So I gotta say, we were talking to a couple, a few people in the concourse. Shout out. Chelsea. We saw, we saw. Going into the third, we saw a lot of people.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, let's just do a general shout out of. Evan just said it best. Everyone has been so lovely and welcoming and kind and grateful and generous and we just can't say thank you enough.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

I believe it's called Southern hospitality.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. They have a term.

[Chris Powers]

I mean, I mean, but it's real, man. The Southern hospitality here is through the roof. Everyone at the, the Knievels out at the.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

Tailgate. Our boy Michael. Everyone is just so wonderful. And I, I, I will add a special shout out to Bobby, that gentleman we met in. Of course, I don't even need to get into the conversation. We got in, but Bobby was one of the most enlightened people I've ever met.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, that was awesome.

[Chris Powers]

He had a conversation with us. I honestly, I almost started crying. Lying. Yeah, this guy's so. We just love all of you so much.

[Dan Powers]

So we moseyed back in and the vibes were incredibly low.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, the vibes were low. And that's not a knock, man. Like, it's, it's not like we had fans booing. It was just like they want to see their team win. They want to see their team win a game in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2006.

[Dan Powers]

Yep. And I was talking to, I won't say their name. But I was talking to somebody and we were both going, man, this stinks. Because the person I was talking to is. Is very much rooting for Carolina. So they were saying it stinks for that reason. And I was just kind of saying it stinks because I was dialed for this to be an incredible series. And it just felt like, oh, man, this is. This could be cooked. This could be curtains for the whole shebang over and for. What a bummer. What a nightmare. Here comes the new curse for Carolina. Everything sucks. And then. And somebody in the chat checked me on this, but the. There was a flurry and. And Zach, you will remember this because it will be in the hype video that we released from our trip here so far where I looked at you and I said there was like nine minutes left or 9:50 left. And I said, that was a great flurry. And it's one of those flurries where you will feel like you should have scored. So this either becomes this flurry leads to the goal or we completely wasted it and we're dead. I said that right into the camera. And I'm pretty sure, because I want to give them some credit, I'm pretty sure that was the first line. I'm pretty sure Aho and Jarvi and Svetch were out there and they were buzzing and they had a bunch of chances and they didn't score. But I'm telling you, that shift, that like two minute run got the crowd into it again. That's when we were like. Remember there was all the, like, let's go, little fight. Yeah. We started screaming, dude. And then that's when we were like, okay, let's see what you can do with that flurry. And then the next shift is when Stank scored. So I'm. I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Now the other vitally important. Oh, nice. This with the guys. The couple with the. Shoot the damn puck.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Are in the chat. Legends. That was awesome.

[Chris Powers]

That was great.

[Dan Powers]

I have never in all my days seen. There's always in arena stuff. We're on the king's thing. Go Kings. There's always an arena stuff to get the crowd back. I have never in all my days seen anything work like the tarps off thing tonight.

[Chris Powers]

Dude, the tarps off rally was so instantaneously successful and contagious.

[Dan Powers]

It was literally immediate.

[Chris Powers]

It was unbelievably.

[Dan Powers]

We took the tarps. We took the tarps off and then everything. I told someone, the tarps came off and the whole series Slipped on its head.

[Chris Powers]

You want to see Netters after Dark, dude? Yeah, I'll take. I'll go Winnie the Pooh on here. I'll take bottoms off.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

I was going to say, if they were down, three goals were fully new.

[Dan Powers]

Yes, correct, dude.

[Chris Powers]

I'll pull out my hornet that.

[Dan Powers]

I will tell my grandchildren stories about the day the tarps came off in game.

[Chris Powers]

And you know what? I also want to say shout out the Lenny, because I have seen multiple times tarps come off in hockey games. And the arena crew comes over and is like, hey, you got to put those.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, I don't know why.

[Chris Powers]

I don't know what's offensive about that.

[Evan]

Well, it. Tarps off.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Nothing's offensive, dude.

[Chris Powers]

I'm telling you. It happens often at NHL games. There's something which is crazy because, like, at football games, that is very commonplace to have tarps off.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah. I will say, actually, if we want to. I. This was an experience that I had where, like, so at Auburn, we would do this thing, like we tarps off. And we showed on the video board. Back when I worked with them, yeah, that was a common thing.

[Chris Powers]

We.

[Evan]

We'd encourage fans to do it. But at Florida State, when I worked there, they would shut it down. Like, the moment interesting came off, they were like, that's offensive.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Evan]

So I think it's kind of a preference.

[Chris Powers]

Hey, let me. Let me say this. And you can come after me if you want. That is the fucking lamest shit I've ever heard.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

If you were offended by people at a sports game with their tarps off and, like, stuff painted on them, that is crazy. Don't go.

[Dan Powers]

Don't go to a sport, dude. You know, I should have known like that.

[Chris Powers]

That's one of those things where I'm like, if you're offended by that, okay, don't go to a sport. Yeah, that's crazy.

[Dan Powers]

I should have known right away because right before we went on Stanley Cup Live, I had a different T shirt on because we were walking to the rink and I was gonna get sweaty and I was gonna put this on for the show, and I. I ducked in the rink.

[Chris Powers]

Sure.

[Dan Powers]

And went to that bathroom right there, and it was locked. And I was like, oh, shoot. All I was just gonna do is change my shirt. And it was locked. And there was. No one's in yet, obviously, but there's all the staff right there. And one gentleman was like, oh, sorry, let me unlock that for you, sir. I just couldn't find the keys and I was like, oh, dude, all good. I don't even need to go in there because I was like, I'm just going to change my shirt. And there's like three women working there right there. And I was like, do you guys care if I change my shirt? And they were like, no.

[Chris Powers]

Whatever.

[Dan Powers]

That's what you should have realized, dude. And yes, Evan or Zach, you answered. But someone in Ryan in the chat said, did Lenny's Tron have a tarps off graphic? And it. It sure did.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, they were, dude.

[Dan Powers]

That was it. That was an instruction.

[Chris Powers]

Not only did they say tarps off, we then got the tarps off guy to ring the siren to start ot.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

And it literally said tarps off rally guy.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, yeah, dude.

[Evan]

Regular thing.

[Chris Powers]

It's unbelievable, dude. Like Kane's admin. And then the people who work for the Canes just embrace the nonsense so well. And I love it.

[Dan Powers]

Do they do that in the regular season? Or like maybe someone in the jacket, like, does the tarp off thing. Is that like a regular.

[Chris Powers]

I don't know if that's a regular Cane's thing. I. I feel like I doubt it because it was such a meal of it. Like Cap was talking to Jarv about it after the game. I think that was a new thing.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, that was all time.

[Chris Powers]

I mean, it's not. People are taking shirts off games. I'm not saying this is the first time tarps came up.

[Dan Powers]

No, no, the instructions.

[Chris Powers]

But I believe that that was a moment and it was special.

[Dan Powers]

Okay, so dude, if you are. If from my POV, I'm sitting here in the third with. With 10 minutes left and it's to nothing. And not only that, but you have another first period where you go, oh, the Canes are in dictating play. And then it's like, psych. Nevermind. Vegas is nasty. They completely dominate the second. Or not dominate, but like they turn it all around. We're dead. And Carter Hart was looking great.

[Chris Powers]

He was looking great.

[Dan Powers]

And I was like, holy shit, dude, this is not good. So then Stank comes around the net, tries to Michi. I don't know if everyone could see that on tv, but Stank tried to Michi, just couldn't get the puck up. Which would have been all time if that's how he imagine tries to mishy. And then. And to be fair, I want to say this because a lot of people in this have been saying like, oh, stones went in off slave.

[Chris Powers]

In which, by the way, I. I'm gonna call you. I. I hate when people say Mishy.

[Dan Powers]

That's. That's lame of you.

[Chris Powers]

No, it's just. It's such a forced hot. It's. It's the forced hawkification of terms.

[Dan Powers]

Every term should be hawkified.

[Chris Powers]

Like, we just can say. We can. We can just say Michigan. The one extra syllable is not a big deal. Yeah, every term should be hawk. I. I like hockifying.

[Dan Powers]

No, you don't, Dan. It sounds like the Mishi just sounds

[Chris Powers]

like that Gen Z. Like, I'm such a h. Because, you

[Dan Powers]

know, this is how I know you're not hockey guy.

[Chris Powers]

Shit, I blew it.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Correct.

[Chris Powers]

So I've outed myself.

[Dan Powers]

I need to say. He snaps it around and it goes in off. I think it bounces all. Yeah. And I'm just trying to be fair because everyone in here is being like, oh, my God, Stones went in off slave. And I'm like, this went in off Luzon or whoever was. I forget it was out there. So this. But, but. But my point is, I'm like, I said to all, and dude, maybe you have this. Evan. Shout out to all those guys who were with us.

[Chris Powers]

Like, I seen the guys behind us.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

So there was.

[Chris Powers]

There was a guy.

[Zach]

I think he was making a bit out of it because every time they scored, he would run up into the middle of us and chug.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

And then the overtime goal. He came in with the beer.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach]

And I'm like, he's heightening the game.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

That's how, Dan. That's how the beer got on the ceiling. Oh, trust me, I'm tripping on me. You were like, dude, the second that

[Chris Powers]

Kag came around, I was like, I will be covered in beer at some point, whether out of celebration or frustration. And I respect.

[Evan]

Shout out the photog next to us, too.

[Chris Powers]

What a weapon. What a weapon.

[Evan]

We were in a post dog area, and these people were just going nuts. And then the photogs, like, still getting gas photos.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

And then, like, didn't complain once.

[Dan Powers]

Showing them to us. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Incredible.

[Dan Powers]

That guy's the man. I wish we got his name. Yeah, that was awesome.

[Zach]

He'll be there.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Instagram.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. Yeah, we got his info.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, nice. Okay, so I was saying to all those guys there, and I said it to you, Grant, on the video. You just got to get one by. You know, you set timers, teams do this. You go just boys get one before eight minutes. Get one before whatever. And that one ricocheting in. In that moment felt like there was plenty of time. So much game left.

[Chris Powers]

Everything's game by game. I. I actually didn't. While we were talking about vibes were low because of course, the fans, they wanted to see a win for the team. I actually didn't feel I wasn't feeling stressed for them.

[Dan Powers]

Interesting. I. I was.

[Chris Powers]

I was like, to me, it was only two nothing and one was a very weird, bouncy breakaway. And we already saw in game one, you got four goals past Carter Hart. You can score. I was like, they're probably sitting there going, just get one, dude. Yep, get one. And that's exactly what happened. I'm not saying that they were sitting there chilling. Of course they felt the heat. But I. I didn't think it was an overwhelming. Like, we are in so much trouble here. And then that goal was like a. Oh, thank God. I felt like the goal was like, yes, there it is. Come on, keep going. Because they were all.

[Dan Powers]

That was over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big time. So then they right away, right, like, didn't. How. See how fast that goal was. 10, 20, 12, 46. So you had two minutes and 26 seconds later, they kind of get their flip goal. Right. Like, I thought that was a mirror image of like, oh, wow, we flipped it out. And then. Cause like, Robinson flipped it out. Kerrio made a great play to stay on side. And by the way, credit to him because from the ice, he knocks that over. Yeah. To Jankowski. But it was definitely just like a flip up. Vegas kind of fumbled it a little bit and then it was like bang in the back of the neck and

[Chris Powers]

a snipe fucking cheddar bake biscuit nip job. That was unbelievable.

[Dan Powers]

Place goes batshit.

[Chris Powers]

Yes.

[Dan Powers]

When that goes in. Which was awesome.

[Chris Powers]

And then it was such a cool. The second that went to Jankowski Stick, like, we all. All kind of grabbed each other. That was one of those moments.

[Dan Powers]

I was like, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

And yep. Ping.

[Dan Powers]

So then we get the. Because right now I'm like, oh, my God. The canes might go crazy, but Vegas, man, is so good. So they come back and then we get the Barbie play in. And that was off an insane play by Slavin. Do you remember that? Like, Slaving just had the puck and just like, dude whiffed it or something. I was like, what the.

[Chris Powers]

That was crazy.

[Dan Powers]

Barbie goes, is this it yet? Barbie has a shot at it. And then Freddie made some incredible plays.

[Chris Powers]

Honestly, dude, he's like, no, what are we doing? You're showing the game tying goal. That's. That's not what we're talking about here. We're way ahead of schedule.

[Dan Powers]

The Freddy, like, dove at that, made a stick save.

[Chris Powers]

Well, it was a. I think it was a jam job by. I thought it was Mitch who tried that rap.

[Dan Powers]

It wasn't Barbie. Did the whole thing.

[Chris Powers]

It was Barbie. Yeah. Barbie has at the near post. Freddie kind of scrambles over there. Then he gets it around the net and it was like, oh, God. And then just, what a play. Yep. Freddie jumps over, gets a paddle on it. But then. Yeah, Mayhem. And let's. Let's just take a pause here.

[Dan Powers]

Yes,

[Chris Powers]

that was a goal.

[Dan Powers]

Okay.

[Chris Powers]

In terms of a hockey play, no one stopped playing. No one thought the play was dead.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

That was probably a goal. However, as things go, the whistle was blown and the play was dead. And, like, I don't know those weird semantics in the rule book, but for me, that's another one. When did this just happen?

[Dan Powers]

Buffalo.

[Chris Powers]

Was that Buffalo? I thought it was Carolina. Montreal.

[Dan Powers]

Buffalo knocked one in. And I think that is right.

[Chris Powers]

I think it was Buffalo. I can't remember. Doesn't matter. These plays happen. They suck.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

And for me, I'm like, that was blown dead. It is what it is. Like, they lost the puck. Okay. It's a bummer. As far as a hockey play that probably should have been a goal, but it's blown dead. Whatever. Whatever. So given that, I thought it was a Looney Tunes challenge. Now, Torts said after the game he would challenge that 10 out of 10 times. Perfect answer.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, correct.

[Chris Powers]

Perfect answer. But I would be a hypocrite if I didn't say that. Had some Jim Hiller vibes. Because I flamed Jim Hiller last year when the Kings did that against Edmonton. And what I don't like about this challenge is it's a fucking tie ball game. You just had a great scoring chance, and you're kind of breathing on him now. And you go, I'm going to challenge this. Which people need to remember when there's a call in the ice like this. It is. You got. You need a lot to overturn it.

[Dan Powers]

I know.

[Chris Powers]

You need a lot to overturn it. This isn't a goal interference challenge. This is like a. I'm really asking the refs to go, oh, yeah, no, like, we didn't blow the whistle. There was something there. You need a lot to overturn it. And you basically, if you're John Tortorella, you go, hey, Kane's power play. You fucking suck ass cheeks. I'm going to challenge this. And either we're going to get a goal and go up three, two, or I'm giving you a power play. When you are red hot right now and have just tied the game with a chance to get the lead, you basically beg them to prove you wrong. And that happens. And we will get into why that's even worse. Because they get a power play goal here and take the lead and then they get a power play in overtime. And so bang.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Back to back power play goals. Now their power plays awake. You could say when it's been poop.

[Dan Powers]

Poo, Poo, poo.

[Chris Powers]

It's a. It's just a ballsy challenge, man. It's a ballsy challenge. And I respect the out of Torch for doing it. I also respect the out of his comments. I really do.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

But let's call it what it is. It's a ballsy move. And that one did not work out for you.

[Dan Powers]

Absolutely correct.

[Chris Powers]

[Dan Powers]

Great job, Dan. And you got GLD for me. Zach, that would be incredible because it is just about Father's day and getting dad a gift is tough. It can be tough always. If you get him something he can actually use, then I recommend you hit up GLD because dads never really go out of their way to improve their style. Our dad is wearing shoes that I left at the house 25 years ago and he goes, great, those are new shoes for me. That's perfect. And if they get a pair of sunglasses, they wear it for 10 years just like my dad does. So they're sticking with something forever. That's exactly why jewelry would make an awesome gift. And by the way, while you're there, go check out all the awesome stuff they have for yourself because it's amazing. They have clean chains, bracelets, watch, any of those things that instantly upgrade to fit without trying too hard. Even if your dad likes it simple or he likes extra shine, it doesn't matter. GLD has everything. Pendants, bracelets, watches. All high quality, all built to last. The quality is so legit too because I hate cheap jewelry that fades. GLD uses real gold handset stones. The craftsmanship is insane. I love it so much. They sent us some. I have this one, this necklace I wear from them and it's amazing. I love it. It's not just hype. They have over 2 million customers. They have 50,000 five star reviews. They're being worn by names like Justin Bieber, Malik Neighbors, Micah Parsons, asap, Rocky. Are you kidding me?

[Chris Powers]

Chris Powers.

[Dan Powers]

Chris Powers, Dan Powers. And they have collabs with the NBA, wnba, mlb, ncaa, NHL, mls, even DC Comics, which are so sick. I love those. And they've got a great price point. They've got entry level stuff, they've got the high price stuff. Whatever you can afford, that's what they've got. They are awesome. Check it out for Father's Day. Check it out for yourself. Anytime you got a gift coming up, or if you want just a special treat, go check it out. And honestly, it is the perfect time to do it because for a limited time only new customers are getting an insane deal.

Please support our show and tell him we sent you.

[Chris Powers]

Okay, That's a great deal. Let's get back to this challenge here. We. We've got this great thing that you sent by Boots Chris. And then also our boy Saul is saying that it was goal interference. It wasn't blown dead, but I think it was blown dead. But it's on top of that at the same time. So I have. Torch is saying, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm looking at this right now. Torts is saying. Or that's what Torch is saying. It was. It was a goalie interference. So Booch says, it was a great challenge. And you can see this shot. The puck is loose. Absolutely. And that's what we said. That's why I was like, it's a goal.

[Dan Powers]

And. And, yeah, go ahead.

[Chris Powers]

And they go, it's Barbie stick in there. He says, it's a poor decision by the NHL situation room. Shut up, Booch, for saying that.

[Dan Powers]

Well, dude, this is what we.

[Chris Powers]

This is what we always talk about. Dave, our boy Dave. I'm like, someone have the stones to be like, it's a bad call.

[Dan Powers]

It's a good call because I didn't even send you this. Booch goes, vegas will lose this challenge. And then two minutes later goes, there was interference. And then 15 minutes later goes, actually, this was a good challenge. That is a goal. That's a bad call by the NHL.

[Chris Powers]

Well, the question is, I need to see more of this view. Zach's. Zach and Ev have it up on the screen right now. Like, if that stick hits his glove before the puck, which that. That photo does not show, I actually am going, that is goalie interference.

[Dan Powers]

And I. In my opinion, because if that glove

[Chris Powers]

is about to cover the puck and then he whacks his glove out of the way, that. I mean, I think it's soft, but that has to be the definition of

[Dan Powers]

going, in my opinion. If you watch the replay, he hits the puck, which moves it past that his glove. Like, he hits the puck. It's headed towards Freddie's body. His follow through of his shot hits Freddy's glove because he's now shot and the puck's already passed him anyway.

[Chris Powers]

Takes his chance away to move his glove back and get it, though.

[Dan Powers]

No, it's already past him. That's doesn't matter.

[Chris Powers]

And it wasn't over the net and

[Dan Powers]

a shot doesn't matter, though.

[Chris Powers]

We've. We've.

[Dan Powers]

We've confirmed this.

[Chris Powers]

Well, I mean, listen, I, I already said I think this is soft. Yep. But if he hits that puck, then the follow through hits his glove and that puck is not across the goal line yet, the argument could be made. Well, his glove has now been hit and he doesn't have the opportunity to go get that puck.

[Dan Powers]

But the rule is a shot falter doesn't matter. So, like, even if it does hit.

[Chris Powers]

But didn't that just happen where that's not the case?

[Dan Powers]

No, because he didn't hit the puck. He whiffed it and we went, oh, he whiffed the shot, hit his glove. And that was in the Buffalo game. That's what you're.

[Chris Powers]

No, that he did. He literally shot the puck and then his stick hit him. He did hit that puck. That's why I think this is bonkers.

[Dan Powers]

Either way, this, this is 100% a good goal. If the whistle didn't blow, in my opinion.

[Chris Powers]

I agree.

[Dan Powers]

I can't hear anything, but Barbie is in the box, going, shaking his head, going, that is a fucking goal. That's insane.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. And that, that's again, that's why I said at the top, I was like, that. That was a goal. Yep. Again, the only thing we're talking about here is these challenges. Given the penalty is very sketchy. That is the whole point. And that's why I said I respect the challenge.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

I respect his statements. It is just. It's a dangerous game.

[Dan Powers]

And dude, the interesting part is even though the Kane's power play has been horrible, even if you get that kill like torts goes challenge, who cares? And then we kill it again.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

It's an NHL team's power play. It's just such unnecessary risk. When I would argue you're like Dan the Hiller one. Even though everyone. This. That is like the. And you're not wrong, but it's like the very common chirp is like, I can't believe he challenges that.

[Chris Powers]

I mean, I, I get to, I get to stand on business for the rest of my fucking life for that, for this stance. Because of what I did on Twitter in real time with, With Hiller. Hiller challenged that. And I went, hiller just cost the Kings this series. Yeah. And then what happened? They never won again.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

And they've not won in playoffs since that moment.

[Dan Powers]

I know, that's so funny. But, dude, what I was going to say is, the Kings in that game, like, and I can never prove this, but I'm 100% positive I'm right. The Kings were 1000% losing that game. If they. He didn't challenge. I am of that opinion because I was like, they're getting murdered. This is over.

[Chris Powers]

Thai game. And they were up to nothing in the series.

[Dan Powers]

I know, but I was like, this is over. Whatever. In this game, if you're Vegas, I gotta believe you're like, we'll just score again. Like, this isn't. We're fine.

[Chris Powers]

It's tied. See, the reason I disagree with that is because. Well, first of all, absolutely, they think that, but I don't. You're saying that as if there was like crazy momentum. There was crazy momentum for Carolina. Agree that that was a one weird bounce where Vegas got in the zone. Like Carolina or. Yeah, Carolina was shit pumping them for the last five minutes. So agree. Vegas is like, we can absolutely score. But you're. The way you're saying it, and correct me if I'm wrong, you're saying it as if they were like, we're all over them. We'll just score again.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, oh, no.

[Chris Powers]

So I don't, I. I don't think that they're like, they certainly weren't desperate enough to need to challenge, but I don't think that there was an overwhelming, like, oh, my God, dude, we're pounding this team. We'll easily score 100.

[Dan Powers]

They're not pounding them at all. But they were. Vegas was getting murdered in the first period and left it up one nothing. They go, we can be getting murdered by this team and score whenever we feel like it. And they had kind of like, it was a goal. Goal. And then it was kind of five minutes of like, okay, where it's a bit settled. And it felt like if they don't score here, like, if they just wiped the Barbie goal, then it was just going to go to overtime.

[Chris Powers]

It felt like, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

And then Vegas goes. Now it's overtime. We just reset. Like, just get to the locker room and reset and we'll probably win an ot because don't forget Vegas was also undefeated in overtime in these playoffs. So, yeah, it just. It invited insanity to do that, which he got. Unless he's so sure it was A goal. Which is weird because I think if I'm. And like, obviously torts is being Torts, where he's like 10 out of 10. I do that again. But I don't blame him because if I watch that video and I see what you. That overhead view where he just shoots it and it goes in and again, I can't hear. But if I'm torts and I go, did the whistle blow? And the team goes, no. Like, I go sitting right there. If I goes. There was no whistle. Then I go, 100% challenge.

[Chris Powers]

Well, this is what I. We have got to move off of this challenge. We have got so much to fucking talk about. And it's so late. But that. What I don't get is no one went goal, right?

[Dan Powers]

Am I nuts on the team? No, ref. Oh, no one. He was going like this the whole time.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. So, like, I. Again, someone in the chat or like,

[Dan Powers]

you know, Sully's right.

[Chris Powers]

Sorry. We literally just walked out of the game. I'm sorry. I haven't had any time to, like, look at replay.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Zach, you're.

[Chris Powers]

Can't believe you're showing my feet for free on the Internet right now. It's unbelievable, dude. No, we're gonna make so wait.

[Zach]

Yeah, I got you on. You're gonna get on wiki feed.

[Dan Powers]

That's awesome.

[Chris Powers]

So much money, dude. This is unbelievable. I can't believe that. I, like, I feel like I didn't see, like, I didn't see like a. That's a goal.

[Dan Powers]

No. No one said. No one said goal.

[Chris Powers]

That's why it's tough. You know what I mean? Like, it's.

[Dan Powers]

It was Iko. Iko went like this and he was like.

[Chris Powers]

Like, yeah, like what? But again, that doesn't matter. Like, anyone, any player can say go. Like, these plays are just so when it's like, if a ref doesn't go

[Dan Powers]

goal, it just feels like it's always

[Chris Powers]

impossible for them to overturn it. Like that. I'd love to see the hit rate on that. When it's not called the goal on the ice in a situation like this, I bet it's less than 20% that it gets overturned to a goal.

[Dan Powers]

That'd be a cool stat to look.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, like, I'd love to, because there's

[Dan Powers]

definitely scenarios where the ref just didn't see it. Which, by the way, Dan, I'm actually very sure the ref didn't see that in this one. Like, that, ref. And like, I was. By the way, everyone was looking at Freddy's glove and Shit. And the ref was like, yeah, covered. That's why he was like, whistle.

[Chris Powers]

And I'm like, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

I was like, but it's in the net. In the net. The other side behind you, dude. Yeah. Which is why he didn't see Barbie shoot it under Freddy and in. And he's, like, going like this, like, no goal. And I'm like, buddy, he shot it clean into the net.

[Chris Powers]

All right, we got to move on. We got to move on. So they get the power play. Immediate goal.

[Dan Powers]

Stall. Dude. Stall is the man. That was so awesome.

[Chris Powers]

Phenomenal. So we get the lead, and it just feels. Feels vibey in that arena, and time's ticking down, and it's like, okay, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Captain Stahl gets the power play goal. And then we thought SGA was knocked out of the playoffs, but it turns out he was on ice.

[Dan Powers]

I was like, what? Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Because I fucking love Barbie.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

I did not like this play.

[Dan Powers]

So here's what.

[Chris Powers]

And listen. Competitive advantage, right? Get everything you can.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

But that was a. That was a dive. That was a weakest. I thought Barbie initiated contact on this. He then went down and was, like, holding his face and lying on the ground. And listen again. Competitive advance. Sell it, baby. Sell it. But like, that. I was one was. I was like, oh, yikes. I didn't like that.

[Dan Powers]

Here's what I don't like. And actually, I've. I saw a couple tweets about this. I saw another replay. He is flying in. The tweet said this, but I tend to agree. He's flying at speed to. He's on a path.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

And maybe was Blakey who. It was 100% goes like this, and, like, 100% sticks his hip out at a flying Barbie.

[Chris Powers]

Careful. I don't like to stick his hip out because that's. That's very close to a leg check. I think he pivoted and kind of put his ass out and was like, I'm getting in the way. Way.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Ask, then.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, I. I just. You know, I'm sensitive about that. I think, like, anything hip or thigh, like, it could start sounding or looking like any sort of hang is ass.

[Dan Powers]

There's no. There's no. If someone ever said he hit him with his hip and. And they went, that's a leg.

[Chris Powers]

The argument is 50. 50.

[Dan Powers]

No, it's ass. Hip is ass. Look at it. It's right here.

[Chris Powers]

But your hip bone's probably connected to your leg. Like, if I ripped your leg off your body.

[Dan Powers]

My hip Socket would be sitting right on my butt.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, your socket would. But your hip bone is on the leg.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, but that's my butt. It's in my butt. It goes right up into the socket. Look at this. Look. Here's the socket in my butt. And then.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, but you listen. If you said he threw his hip socket out. You said hip.

[Dan Powers]

Which is. Which is hip. That's him, I think. Well, it's part of it.

[Chris Powers]

50%. We got a socket and we got a bone.

[Dan Powers]

No, dude, it's ass.

[Chris Powers]

50%.

[Dan Powers]

Leg. He popped his hip out, which means.

[Chris Powers]

Hey, chat. Get in this conversation. Is your hip.

[Dan Powers]

Chris says I understood hip to mean ass.

[Chris Powers]

Okay. You got one. How many people are going, it's obviously a leg. Don't fucking lie.

[Dan Powers]

I hit the word. You just asked. Give him a second.

[Chris Powers]

I think there's some people would say hips part of your leg, and it's also part of your.

[Dan Powers]

Okay, Harry says hip is different from ass, but not leg.

[Chris Powers]

Your hip bone is on your leg.

[Dan Powers]

No. And then here. Laura. And you love Laura. Hip is ass.

[Chris Powers]

Laura. What the fuck? You're supposed to be my fucking girl.

[Dan Powers]

I wear her hats more than.

[Chris Powers]

Listen to me.

[Dan Powers]

I wear her hats all.

[Chris Powers]

Listen, let's be. Let's be real honest here. I said 50. 50 from the G jump.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, well, it's ass. It's 100 ass.

[Chris Powers]

Do you even know what an ass is?

[Dan Powers]

No, I don't have one.

[Chris Powers]

I'm looking at one right now. You.

[Dan Powers]

Either way. Either way.

[Chris Powers]

All right.

[Dan Powers]

Blakey bumps some body part.

[Chris Powers]

No doubt. No doubt.

[Dan Powers]

In my opinion.

[Chris Powers]

But, like, that's just hockey. It's Robin's Racing.

[Dan Powers]

No. So in my opinion, at speed, when Barbie's going like that and gets clipped when he's on a line to make a play, I have no issue with that being an interference call. Do I think it's an egregious interference call? No.

[Evan]

Can I interrupt?

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Best comment ever. Blake M22 says Anatomy Class of the Powers Bros. At 1:30 in the morning.

[Zach]

That.

[Chris Powers]

Hey, that. That is.

[Dan Powers]

That's a fever dream, like you read about. Yeah. So I have no issue with. On that being an interference penalty. What I have extreme issue with is Barbie goes flying. Yeah. And then. And I sometimes. Dude, skating's weird. Like, sometimes you get knocked off balance. You kind of like, helicopter. Like, remember the kick?

[Chris Powers]

Oh, my God, dude, you're going so fast.

[Dan Powers]

Right? So, like, sometimes people go, oh, my go. Like, he fucking flopped. And I'm like, well, he got knocked off balance when he was Skating on a tiny blade. Okay. So I kind of give him a pass. Kind of.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

But what I don't give him a pass at all for is the, like, immediate soccer level. Head grab.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, dude.

[Dan Powers]

Live. I thought he got. I thought he got drilling. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

You kept saying to me. It went long after the fact. You were like, you got him with a stick. And I was like, dude, no.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

It wasn't even close.

[Dan Powers]

He got hit high, so that. That. I didn't like that at all. And, dude, they brought.

[Chris Powers]

They.

[Dan Powers]

They invented an in. Embellishment penalty.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Like, I'm actually shocked. People with Vegas fans would have been fuming, but I'm actually shocked he didn't get popped for embellishment. There where they go. Okay, that was interference, but you also were grabbing your face, which was insane. And then even weirder, Dan Barbie went to the locker room after that. Like, I thought. I was like, yeah, it was.

[Chris Powers]

It was a little bit longer.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, it was. It was after. Because he. He. Yeah, you're right. But it was, like, 1:30 left. He went to the locker, and I was like, that was crazy.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

So I. That was insane.

[Chris Powers]

Hold on real quick. Hey, is your mic on, guys?

[Zach]

Yeah, we've been turning it on and off because the table is making weird sounds.

[Chris Powers]

Well, the people.

[Zach]

Every time he hits a button, the

[Chris Powers]

people want to hear you when you chat.

[Evan]

So you guys are okay with hearing this table week? I'm sorry.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Well, I think you might have gotten rid of it.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, I don't hear it anymore.

[Zach]

I think we fixed it.

[Chris Powers]

I don't think I would have liked, like, dude. I mean, I. I do that. I. I used to do that all the time when I played. Like, you. You veer.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

Because, like, to me, I. For interference, like, I need a pick. It's like these pick penalties we keep seeing. We saw the one on Cooch against Anaheim when it's like, a guy. Or. Excuse me, against Montreal, when you're kind of, like, floating the blue line and you get in someone's way.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, that. Yes, that one.

[Chris Powers]

To me, like, I hear you. As far as. Like, the literal definition is maybe interference, but, like, it's. It's ready to play. It's not a blue line play. It's. It's Blakey, like, just kind of veering, like, getting in, getting the way a little.

[Dan Powers]

I don't blame him.

[Chris Powers]

Making you work for the puck and. And just the blow up, I was like, dude, like, come on here. But either way, penalty gets called, Carolina kills it off. And that Was huge. Absolute unbelievable momentum. It was a great kill, too. A lot of great active sticks. Great possession play by Ajo keeping the puck, chipping it down low. Stay in high pressure on the defenseman to not let him have an easy breakout so the change could be made.

[Dan Powers]

It was really good hockey.

[Chris Powers]

And, man, let us take a quick minute to stroke off Vegas and just continue to tip caps to how unbelievable they are in duress. You, You. You get your power play deaded. We're in the vulnerable minute. It. But, like, it's not that bad of a situation. The puck's kind of pinned against the board. Blakey comes out of the box, flies in immediately takes the passing lane away on top of the point, gets down low, and then Doc Marner gets the puck and throws.

[Dan Powers]

Dude, Feathers.

[Chris Powers]

One perfect, perfect shot just through traffic. Gets it onto the cage, gets it in a dangerous area. And then who is there but Mark Stone, captain goal response.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

Ties it up. And dude, fucking A. The gut punch, that was.

[Dan Powers]

That sucked.

[Chris Powers]

But I felt a little lifestyle.

[Dan Powers]

That was low, though. That was low.

[Chris Powers]

It was low, but I felt a little life, dude. And you know that, you know, we then end regulation, we head into ot. You know that everyone was kind of like, are you fucking kidding me? But like, there wasn't the. Like, oh, no. That took all the wind out of our sails. It was more of a. Like a. Come on.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Yes. It was like, you're making us do this. But then, dude, the chatter started and they went, wait a minute. We have won in OT in game two. Every fucking game, this playoffs, every round. This is the script.

[Dan Powers]

So a couple things for the chat here, Dan. Chris says pinball goal. But, Chris, I need to remind you, this is what I was saying about the stank goal earlier that was also a pinball goal, which he just fired into the front of the net. Behind the net.

[Chris Powers]

I also. I don't want us to get in the hap chat. I want us all to hold ourselves accountable and not let emotions take over. That's hockey, man.

[Dan Powers]

Exactly.

[Chris Powers]

It was going to be a Jankowski barred down Nipski. Not every goal is going to be a one T. Jarvi. Ot.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

Clean clapper. Sometimes they're greasy, and we like greasy goals. Let's not take greasy goals for granted. Hey, all goals are goals. Yep.

[Dan Powers]

Chris also said earlier, I feel like interference just happens so much that when it's called, we're like, oh, we call that one. And I completely agree with that.

[Chris Powers]

Great comment.

[Dan Powers]

Like, yes, it. It does happen all the time. A lot of great butt stuff. Dan, you got a few legs, to be fair.

[Zach]

Wait, did you just say a lot of great butt stuff?

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, a lot. Incredible butt stuff. Incredible stuff in the chat. Yep.

[Zach]

Sorry. Trying to remember the part of the game that involved.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

1:45 in the morning.

[Dan Powers]

The best. The best was Kathy says, hip is butt, not leg, and she sends the leg emoji, and she goes, there is no socket on that emoji. She's right. The emoji stops right when you would get to hip. Like, the leg emoji goes like this and stops right here.

[Chris Powers]

I can't tell if you guys are joking with me. First of all, who is that? Kathy.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

I said from the top. The socket is on your butt.

[Dan Powers]

No, but you should see the emoji. The emoji.

[Chris Powers]

I know, I know. The emoji bag.

[Dan Powers]

Also, Laura goes.

[Chris Powers]

I'm done with Laura. Laura, you're in timeout.

[Dan Powers]

She goes, no, no. The song is, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is important.

[Chris Powers]

I don't want to hear the fucking nursery rhyme song about anatomy.

[Dan Powers]

No, it's not that. Do you think this. I'm so glad you just said that. I'm so glad you go. I don't want to hear some nursery rhyme song when I'm actually gonna give you the hottest heat of all time from Shakira. And she goes, the hips don't lie. And that's not talking about 50% leg bitch. Dude, she didn't say bitch. I put that in there. You did not say bitch. I put the bitch.

[Chris Powers]

If you think Shakira is talking about her ass in that song, you're all dumb. She's literally talking about her hips and the way she shakes her hips.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Half the time she dances to that. She's front, facing us. We're looking at her hips.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Which is makes her butt move.

[Chris Powers]

And you know what?

[Dan Powers]

Yes. Come on.

[Chris Powers]

We're gonna get demonetized.

[Dan Powers]

No, we aren't. They said they can even hear this.

[Chris Powers]

We've been talking about butt stuff for hours. We got demonetized a long time ago.

[Dan Powers]

Okay? And then also, D. Must has said this a bunch of times, and I wanted to bring this up. He goes. He goes, rod the bod for MVP by changing up the lines with Martinook and Jarvis. Now, D. Mus I want to talk about this. I'm not entirely sure because you mean they took Martin hook and put him up on the first line and took Jarvis off. We obviously are in the rink. You don't get to see that. When like the announcers are like, oh, they've changed the lines to me, man, I thought Jarvey was the only good player. He didn't do two games in a row. And also didn't, that didn't do anything. Like in the second period when they changed that, I was like all. I was like, man, the Canes are dead because now they're jumbling the lines and they have Martinook on the first line and it looks even worse than it did.

[Chris Powers]

And Stank scored a half wraparound style goal and then Jankowski scored and then we got two power play goals like that. That line jumbling did all.

[Dan Powers]

So I now need to know what people think about that. Yeah. Chris says, I really didn't like the exchange lines. I hated it and I thought it didn't work, so I need some. I said I hated it. You know.

[Chris Powers]

I know. I'm saying I didn't hate it. I, I, I wouldn't have made that change. I like the idea of the change. You've got no goals, you know, like you're, you're halfway through the game. You've, you don't have any goals. Like, you got to do something. How often do we get on coaches like Pete DeBoer for not doing anything?

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

So, like, do something again. I wouldn't have done that change. Yep. But, yeah, I'm not going to sit here and act like that did anything. We didn't see a result from that move.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Yeah. Right. So I'm saying, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what people are saying, but.

[Chris Powers]

Or what.

[Dan Powers]

I don't know what d. Must what you think, but I was like, man, I don't know. Yeah, well, you're saying, well, it wasn't to nothing the other way. Fair enough. But I was like, I would. I basically put it this way.

[Chris Powers]

Well, actually, no, I mean, it was two one again, like, they still got scored on after those change, you know.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, yeah. Fair. It was three. It was three one. It was two nothing. Vegas, when the lines were they what they were. And then, and then it finished 3, 3, 4, 3.

[Chris Powers]

But again, I don't count the power play goal.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, me neither. But, yeah. So I would definitely not be going if I'm a Canes fan. I would not be going into game three going, I hope Jarvis is on the third line. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

And I'm not spitting in the hand and tugging off Rod for that. Like, yeah, Rod's great. I love Rod. But I wanted to get back to the stone goal to wrap that up, and then we can wrap up the game. It just like, dude, this. This isn't all Carolina here. That was a great. Just unbelievable response by Vegas yet again. Insane when they're like, you know, tensions are on. You've got the goalie pulled, and bang, you score. But obviously, we go to ot. You were. You were. You and I are pretty sharp on that. We were like, we gotta need it in the first five.

[Dan Powers]

Yes, dude.

[Chris Powers]

Like, we were like, we got. If you're. If you're Carolina, you gotta. You gotta score. You're not gonna grind this one out and win in the last five minutes of overtime. Yeah, you gotta score early. Got a good. I thought that was absolutely a tripping penalty.

[Dan Powers]

100.

[Chris Powers]

And then the power play goes out, and they look great, and boom. 1t. Jarvey with the boys in the building. Then they played wagon.

[Dan Powers]

They played Wagon Wheel.

[Chris Powers]

I mean, the Canes know what they're doing.

[Dan Powers]

Dude, they played wagon.

[Chris Powers]

We post early before the game. Us, Jarvis's boys, the good old Canadian boys singing Wagon Wheel at karaoke last night at Tin Roof. And then Jarvis scores, and they play a Wagon Wheel.

[Dan Powers]

Like, dude, we don't know the Canes admin personally, but we follow each other and, like, talk to them all the time. And that is 1,000%. I mean, they're probably listening to this, and I want confirmation, but that is 1,000%. They put that song on because Jarvey scored, and they knew we were all there vibing, which was awesome. That came on. I got so happy. I was like, you got to be kidding me. They said they were singing it. It was insane. Sitting with Jar's family. Dude, that was 100 a trip, Dan. And I want to say this. Vegas, they had a couple times, and I don't want to call anybody out because I don't like doing that on the pod, but they had a couple times where the puck was sitting on someone's tape and had a chance to come out of the zone and just didn't. And that puck gets sent around to hurdle, and it's like he's kind of off and running. Like, I was ready for Vegas to get a rush off of that.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

And then it was like, whoops. Fumble. Whoops. Stalls behind you. And he's like, I'll just clamp down. And then you trip him. And I was like, dude, you got. Now you're sitting in the box on 100% trip, where you're like, dude, that was. That is not a good play. And then to your point, the power Play gets going. We. Vegas is now 0 for 7 on the power play in this series after having a really good power play coming in. If one special teams gets hot in a series, it can finish you. It really can. So Vegas has plenty of time to figure it out. Carolina could cool off again. But that looked awesome. Jarvey was wide open and had a hammer look, you know, like, that was. That was great.

[Chris Powers]

It was great to. Who fed him that?

[Dan Powers]

Oh, came from the top.

[Chris Powers]

I think it did come top of the umbrella. And it was actually very interesting, I thought. Coming around. I think it was. It was either aho or Ghost. Yeah, No, I think it was aho.

[Dan Powers]

Okay.

[Chris Powers]

Because. What I think Ghost was on the opposite wall. Wall, fed it to Ajo up top, and Aho walked.

[Dan Powers]

Harry says Ghost with the feet, but I'm not.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, okay. So Ajo was that Ghost?

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, it says.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. So aho was on the opposite wall, fed it to Ghost. Ghost walked and really opened up the pass back to Ajo and I. What a great play to give it to Jar.

[Dan Powers]

Like he.

[Chris Powers]

It's almost like he opened it and opened his hips to show back to Aho.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Which I think made heart cheat.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Made the other lanes.

[Dan Powers]

He was doing that, like. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

And then he just like, kind of like shorthand through his body, fell it to Jarvie, put it in a perfect spot.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, you saw this earlier. Ryan just said. ESPN just posted. Tonight's the first time since 1944.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. If you guys. If you guys look at the description of the episode. Yeah. First time in over 80 years that someone has come down from a multi gold deficit. Shout out. Grinnell. I think Grinnell was sharp on that. Saw it.

[Dan Powers]

Sick.

[Chris Powers]

Maybe ESPN got it from Grinnell. Yeah. Even if it's the other way, I'm gonna give the credit.

[Dan Powers]

I love it. Mikey.

[Chris Powers]

Mike Grinnell. That was an unbelievable show out. But let's talk this game now. Okay.

[Dan Powers]

Both teams down 2, 0 and then 1. Pretty sick.

[Chris Powers]

So sick.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, how the turntables.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

I say that because interesting.

[Dan Powers]

I actually don't think that as much, but go ahead.

[Chris Powers]

I'm. Well, you're not.

[Dan Powers]

I don't think turns. I don't think tables turn.

[Chris Powers]

You don't.

[Zach]

You're not where a hip or an ass is. He doesn't know.

[Chris Powers]

You don't know your hip from your ass.

[Dan Powers]

Crazy.

[Chris Powers]

And you're not letting me tell you which tables turn.

[Dan Powers]

I already know which table.

[Chris Powers]

Table. Which one do you think I'm talking about?

[Dan Powers]

This one.

[Chris Powers]

Don't turn that turn. It don't turn that table. You might knock my Pokemon cards off

[Dan Powers]

because it doesn't turn. Got him.

[Chris Powers]

Boom.

[Dan Powers]

The tables don't turn.

[Chris Powers]

Roasted. Oh, how the turntables. In regards to the chatter. Lot of chatter after game one from various people.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

Going, this is over.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Vegas is too much. People. People who were like, saying, like, vegas. And seven people were being like this. Oh, Vegas. And five, like, this is toast. Yes, this is toast. This is toast. And then obviously, two, nothing in the. Halfway through the third, and people were like, dude, this is a sweep. Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. It was looking like, I'm not gonna sue her anybody.

[Chris Powers]

But we had some people texting us, being like, dude, this is a sweep. And then here you go. Kane's snap back.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

Win it in overtime, just like they have in round one, round two, and round three, and now round four.

[Dan Powers]

Kelly, there's popcorn in the Zamboni, too.

[Chris Powers]

There's popcorn in the Zamboni. And you could make the argument. And this is what we always talk about. The narratives. The narratives you create for yourself as a team. They're now sitting in that locker room. And if I'm Rod, I go, gentlemen, just how last series went. And as far as game two, just how round two and round one went. We are right on script.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

We are right on schedule. So what's amazing is Carolina after that game, had a lot of naysayers being like, oh, Vegas is too much. After two periods in this game, people going, oh, they're way, way too much. Now they have the juice and to spin the narrative and go, we're right back on track, dude. Right back on track. Now the thing I love for Vegas, because obviously, tough loss for them, you have a two goal lead with 10 minutes left in the third period. You can't lose that game.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

I think Vegas after game one, they went in and they go, love. Great to get that one on the road. Yeah. But they went into that locker room, and I know for a fact they went, that was not our best game.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. And we still won.

[Chris Powers]

We did not play our best game. We made a lot of mistakes that led to some of Carolina's goals there. Yeah, it's great that we got the win, but we shouldn't have even been in that situation. Now they have this game. They played great through two and a half periods. They kind of fell apart. They made it go to ot. That's great. But they're absolutely going in there, and they're not going. We got. We got fucking beat today, guys. They did, but they're going. We did not play our best game in that one.

[Dan Powers]

Okay?

[Chris Powers]

So now you get to go home, and you got to remind yourselves, we took one on the road. We have home ice now, so we haven't played our best game yet.

[Dan Powers]

Yet.

[Chris Powers]

Let's go back to Vegas and let's beat the wheels off them.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

That's what you're saying. If you're Vegas. And that for us, man, as fans.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Yeah, dude.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. These have been two objectively unbelievable hockey. Unbelievable hockey games to watch.

[Dan Powers]

Dude. Feed me seven of those.

[Chris Powers]

And, dude, like, if you. If we're just going to trade blows like this with just mayhem games, I'm gonna come myself to death.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, Correct. You're gonna be. You're gonna be a raisin. You're gonna turn into the thing you love the most. Raisin.

[Chris Powers]

Scary Movie one.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Finally has sex with Cindy, and then he just shrivels because it all comes out. That's gonna be me. I'm gonna look like emotep before he gets all the bodies in him. That's a mummy.

[Dan Powers]

That was a mummy reference left.

[Zach]

Coming Mummy.

[Chris Powers]

Evan. Incredible. Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Is the mic on? Because I'll tell you what. Shout out our boy Sully. He was yelling at you, Zach, for not talking into the mic. Like, look at the boys.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, dude, they're the fellas. Just going to town on Wagon Wheel

[Chris Powers]

Rock and Wagon Wheel.

[Dan Powers]

That was amazing.

[Chris Powers]

Unbelievable.

[Dan Powers]

I mean, it was. We were born for that moment.

[Chris Powers]

God, my Point Break shirt is so awesome.

[Dan Powers]

We were born for that moment. Dude, I am with you.

[Chris Powers]

I love the fellas so much.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

I love the fellas.

[Dan Powers]

One of the great times of all time. Oh, Dan. It's about hockey. Says it was scary movie, too, I think.

[Chris Powers]

Is that scary movie, too?

[Dan Powers]

That's what it's about. Hockey says. I am with you. Dan, if this is where I thought you. I was going to argue with your table turning.

[Chris Powers]

Vegas, not Scary Movie two. It's about hockey. I'm calling you out. Check that.

[Dan Powers]

Check that. Check that.

[Chris Powers]

It's about hockey.

[Dan Powers]

I'm.

[Chris Powers]

I'm asking you check that, because I feel like scary Movies one is the one that very, very closely mimics screen. Yeah, that's very much a reference to screen.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Scary Movie 2 is the one with the strong hand.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, That's.

[Zach]

It is scary movie, too.

[Chris Powers]

Really?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

That's crazy. Hey, it's about hockey.

[Dan Powers]

I'm sorry. Yep.

[Chris Powers]

You're right.

[Dan Powers]

Vegas is. Is laughing right now. Like. Well, they're laughing if they're up 2, 0. But Vegas, in my opinion.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, wait, Evan.

[Dan Powers]

He says it's. It's about hockey.

[Zach]

Says cannon scene.

[Dan Powers]

He says it's in the freezer.

[Chris Powers]

No, it's seen when he finally has sex with Cindy and he sticks her to the ceiling with Jizz.

[Zach]

I think that's the first one.

[Dan Powers]

I remember that.

[Chris Powers]

And I feel like, well, maybe there's

[Dan Powers]

a miscommunication, but I don't think he shrivels to death in that one.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, he. He doesn't shrivel to Jeff, but he, like, gets really skinny because all the calm is coming out of his body.

[Dan Powers]

This is awful, folks. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry.

[Zach]

It is truly Netters After Dark.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, we have hit Netters After Dark. That's Scary Movie one.

[Zach]

It is one.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. That's one.

[Zach]

Yeah. Guys, these are wonderful movies. Maybe there's more than two.

[Chris Powers]

We're talking about true cinematic masterpiece moments here, and that's fantastic. Zach, if I thought you were about to get a photo of Cindy stuck to the ceiling.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, wait, it's. It's about hockey. Says, you're right. He says, yeah, you're right. He says, yeah, you're right.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

See, Vegas is laughing because you're right. They didn't play that. They gave up. They go, we gave up ridiculous goals in game one, we still beat you. And then in game two, we literally fell asleep for five minutes.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, I don't think there's. I don't even want to say what I was going to say because I know. I know what you mean.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

I think. You know what I think they are. I think they're Erod in the gym. Like, they're being like. Like, if I look at Ikes right now and I go, how do you feel? He goes, we're fine, dude.

[Dan Powers]

Especially Dan, because. And I don't care. Who doesn't want to hear this from Carolina. This. They came out tonight going, we literally have to win. We need to play our best game we've ever played. And what that turned into was them. What'd you find it?

[Evan]

We have an amazing, amazing

[Dan Powers]

Empty Nutters.

[Chris Powers]

This is Empty Nutters After Dark.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, that's correct. So anyway, Carolina was coming out going like, this. This has to be our.

[Chris Powers]

Sorry. You know what? That is creative as hell and funny.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

I love when people get mad at us because we're saying bad things about their team and they call us empty headers. Like, it's the most creative joke. You know what you sound like when you say that? You sound like the teacher that sees me and met me and goes, any relation to Austin? And I'm like, you've got to be the wittiest fuck I've ever met.

[Dan Powers]

But empty nutters, that is Chris.

[Zach]

Well, if she says that to you,

[Chris Powers]

you just gotta go, yeah, baby, I used to.

[Dan Powers]

Chris. Chris goes. Monetization has officially left.

[Chris Powers]

Oh, monetization has left the building a long time ago.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. So Vegas goes. That's your best punch. Like that was you coming out and going, we have to win this game no matter what at home. We can't. We go down no.

[Chris Powers]

2.

[Dan Powers]

We're losing. And you were down to nothing with 10 minutes left.

[Chris Powers]

But see, I get.

[Dan Powers]

But I'm just saying that's how they feel right now.

[Chris Powers]

Yes. And when we're saying all these hyperbolic things, this is the self talk, right? You need to hype yourself up. You need to minimize the enemy. That's what you're doing. That's not the reality of the situation.

[Dan Powers]

I don't think it's the reality.

[Chris Powers]

And again, why I was going here is because both teams are in a great situation. Like, both of these teams know they can win the Stanley Cup. And that's when we get beautiful hockey. That's when we get a beautiful series.

[Dan Powers]

And dude, the Canes now get to go. And people, a lot of people were saying, Kane's undefeated on the road. Can't. Better on the road. Which all true. True. I know it's like the stats get skewed because you just sweep everybody. So it's like, whatever.

[Chris Powers]

And I. Sorry, go on.

[Dan Powers]

But the Canes get to go. Dude, I know that this is going to be tough, but legitimately, for after the way game one fell apart and 50 minutes of this game, it legitimately started to feel like, oh, my God, we don't even belong here. This team is. We completely underestimated them. Whatever. The good news for the Carolina fans out there and this Kane's team, you belong. You have. You have every possible ability to win this series and win this Stanley Cup. You are right there. You went down to nothing. You could have rolled over, you could have caved, and you could have caved when Mark Stone tied the game with a minute left. But you won again. And now you can go into Vegas and win because they. They've lost some home games too. It's completely fine. And this we put on the thumbnail. But like, this series is all the way on.

[Chris Powers]

Now.

[Dan Powers]

Anyone that still. That was on Vegas, I'm sure, still passionately believes Vegas is going to win very Passionately. The Cane's people. Anyone that was on canes like in five, I think you're crazy. Probably crazy the first time, but any canes and six or seven people still feel fine. So your yaw is right. Because we have now reached a point in the series where we're like, okay, it's a fight. It's Tom Cruise and Maverick. It's a dog fight.

[Chris Powers]

Yep.

[Dan Powers]

And that's where we're at.

[Chris Powers]

It's absolutely beautiful. So. So I mean folks, getting a 1:1 split is the best because now we know we're. We're traveling again. I'm not talking for us. I mean like in.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Sense that automatically we got a gain. Game five back in Carolina. Just two of the best games I've ever seen. Like, what an unbelievable start to this awesome final. It's amazing. Also just a quick little. We're not being, we're not being negative or being rude these days, but just a quick one of these. Like, hey, come on, believe in it. That stat came out. Most watched game one of Stanley Cup Final since 2019. Yeah. So to all the people who are saying, who cares about this series? I hope you see that and go, all right, maybe this is pretty sick.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

So if you've dialed out and you're not checking in, I can't imagine you're listening to us right now, but if you are, man, this has been a blast. Turn it on.

[Dan Powers]

Get in there.

[Chris Powers]

All right, let's talk. Let's wrap up game two. Incredible, amazing stuff. We're going to close out this app, Little Netters After Dark. We're going to talk about the Dylan Larkin situation. We're also going to rip these Pokemon cards. Should I do that now or at the very end?

[Dan Powers]

Very end.

[Chris Powers]

Okay, well, very well. Very end. Pokemon. Let's get into Dylan Larkin. So if anyone missed it, earlier today, Elliot Friedman posted an article. Dylan Larkin has reportedly requested a trade out of Detroit. Now, now, it's an interesting situation because Larkin has not commented. Larkin's agent has not commented. The team has not commented. So this is just a per sources situation. Obviously we love Elliot. One of the most trusted guys in the world, rarely gets things wrong. A lot of people have run with this and usually when a lot of people run with it, they have either heard the same from sources or they're like, yeah, this, this one's legit. We talked about this with our good buddy Michael Delzado who was at the end of our feature on Stanley Cup Live today. If you didn't see that, make sure, you check those. But we're just going to echo quickly something we said in there. You are not going to find me say a single bad word about Dylan Larkin. You never will. And if you want to turn this off right now, yep, I love Dylan so much as a player. I love Dylan even more as a person. He's one of the best guys I've ever met, and he's such a remarkable teammate. And if you weren't paying attention, everyone who was unfamiliar with larks before Olympics became familiar with him after. And the way all those USA teammates talk about him, react to him, the leader that he is, is remarkable. We said it with dz and we'll just echo it again here. I fucking love this. And I love this. As a guy who loves the Detroit Red Wings. Yeah, I love this. As a guy who loves Steve Yzerman. This is something that I think players need to do more and that might shake some trees, that might ruffle some feathers of fans of a team. And I've seen a bunch of stuff online. I saw some guy reactivate his Twitter to say something along the lines of, if you're born in Michigan, you dream of wearing the Winged Wheel, Dylan Larkin's a fucking pussy for this. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, listen, if that's your take, that's your take. I'm just here to say I completely disagree. Dylan Larkin has given 10 years of his professional career to this team. And say what you will, I personally believe this is Dan Powers talking, that Steve Yzerman has failed him in building a team around him that can compete and make playoffs.

[Dan Powers]

I've been saying that for years.

[Chris Powers]

You've been way harder on that. And I think these players, I think Auston Matthews, I think Brady Tkachuk, I think Connor McDavid, I think Leon Draisaitl need to understand that not only is it your right after you have bled and performed, all of those guys performed year in and year out and dealt with the shtick and the bullshit, and your team is not succeeding for you. Try something else. And that's not. When you go like this, hey, I want to trade, that's not you necessarily going, fuck this team. Fuck this city. It's you going, I want to try something else. You have so little in your control when it comes to your team. When you're a professional athlete, something like this is something you can do. And we've just. We've been stuck in this loop. And I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but we've been stuck in this loop for 25 some odd years in the NHL where there's this idea that if you aren't loyal to the team that drafted you and just extend, extend. Never test free agency. Never even get there. Yeah, you're. You're a bad guy.

[Dan Powers]

You're a bad player.

[Chris Powers]

You don't. You're. You're not wearing your heart on this jersey. That dude.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

Like, if things aren't working, go live in a new. Dylan Larkin's been in Michigan his whole life.

[Dan Powers]

His whole life. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Try something else, dude. Go check out Down South. Go check out the West Coast. Go check out New England. Do whatever you want. But it's like these guys have earned the right. And, and again, the narrative that. And I'll shut up, Chris. I'm sorry.

[Zach]

I know.

[Chris Powers]

I'm just going on and on and on. I just love Dylan. The, the narrative that like they're. Oh, yeah, he's been there for two years and it didn't work and he's being like a diva receiver. Give me a break, man. It's been a decade. Go. Give, give it a go. Try something else. It's not working.

[Dan Powers]

Obviously. I'm with you 1,000%. Dylan Larkin is the fucking man. And I don't root for anyone harder than I root for that person. What I'm excited about, because I'm just echoing everything you said, but what I'm excited about is the Wings fans in our fucking mentions and DMs that are like, it's Larkin's fault we suck. Cuz Larkin stinks. Absolutely insane. I am actually salivating for. Absolutely. I can't wait for this. Because right now they are literally happy. They're going. Thank God. Finally.

[Chris Powers]

Well, let's not paint them with the bad ones.

[Dan Powers]

Well, that's what I'm saying. There are ones that are going.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. I just don't want people to think that we're talking about winx fans in general.

[Dan Powers]

The WINX fans that are going, we want Larkin out. They are. This is the best day of their life. They're going amazing. Finally, we will be good. And I am so excited for them to see what life is like without Dylan Larkin. I am thrilled for you. Congratulations. Merry Christmas.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah. And here's what I'll say again. We won't go too long on this because it's late. We know that's actually more for us. Yeah. I think it's going to be a rude awakening for those Wings fans.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

Because I'll be real with you folks. Dylan Larkin is far and away the best player on your team. Yep. I think the only conversation is Mo Cider.

[Dan Powers]

I don't even think that's a conversation.

[Chris Powers]

I love conversation. I think Mo Cider is a top D man in the league, but Dylan Larkin is the the best player on your team. He is the heartbeat on your team. And I'm sorry to tell you. And this goes into Stevie, why you take Dylan off that roster? We saw what happened when he got a little banged up towards the end of the year. You free fell out of playoffs.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

You take him off that roster, you're looking at Razor, you're looking at Cat. Cat and you're looking at Cider. And there's some great young pieces that I really like on that team. I like Finney, I like sanding Pelica, that's great. But like old kaner cop Peron, you guys are closer to a full blow up rebuild than you are. Like there are a bunch of those guys that you're talking about, they're thinking, oh, this is amazing, we're going to get some big one for one trade. I don't think so.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

I think if you're pieces, I think if you're Stevie Y and you keep your job, which by the way, that is not a guarantee now. Yeah. This moment might be a. We might have to fire Stevie. Why?

[Dan Powers]

I know.

[Chris Powers]

Because here's the deal, right? If you're, if you're the president of this team and you're looking at this situation, you either go, okay, Stevie Y has had the ISER plan for what has it been now, seven years? Yeah, 19. He left.

[Dan Powers]

I can't remember. Oh, yeah, probably seven, eight years.

[Chris Powers]

That's been too long. Process is over, dude. And it didn't work.

[Dan Powers]

I told you, there is no ISER plan.

[Chris Powers]

And they are now the longest drought playoff drought in the NHL. Is that correct?

[Dan Powers]

No. Oh, maybe

[Chris Powers]

iser plan hasn't worked. And you are now either going to go. Okay, Steve, here are the keys to trading Dylan Larkin. Using draft picks this year and using whatever you get from that Larkin trade to keep going. Going or you go, you're fired. Here's a new gm. Your first task is trading Dylan Larkin and we're going to give you that because we now need you to build this in your image.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Because it feels crazy to go. The ISER plan was built around the cornerstone of Dylan Larkin and now he is going. I'd like to leave. I don't know how you let Steve work with that. Yeah, I don't want Steve to get fired. But I'm just saying that is a, that is a possibility. And I think it is way more realistic that Steve Iserman looks at a situation where he goes, okay, trade, give me picks and prospects. Like I, I would, I would, I would be so careful about trying to replace Dylan Larkin because you ain't winning that trade.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

So I would rather go give me all your picks and prospects and give me a like 4 point something million dollar guy off the book. So it works for you cap wise because Dylan's only 8.7. And it's also a like, like I, I need the picks, baby. Like we're still. And you wonder what is the windfall? Like, who else gets moved? Because like, dude, you moved Dylan. You were not making playoffs next year.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

So like, are we restarting here?

[Dan Powers]

How old is Cat?

[Chris Powers]

I think cat is 28. 28 or 29, I believe.

[Dan Powers]

28. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Crazy. Because dude, he like, Kane is a free agent.

[Chris Powers]

Like, yeah.

[Dan Powers]

If Larkin's traded, he's gone.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

You know, he's like, I'm not staying here. We stink. Yeah. You try to build around Razor.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

And Mo.

[Chris Powers]

So this, you know, we'll always wait. Like, I've seen a couple of things, you know, I don't like reactionary stuff. Like I saw one post on Instagram that was like, it was, you know, Larks. Larks's clip where it was like just two months ago. He said he was like, I signed an eight year extension here because of Stevie. Yeah. Is like his vision and people are trying to throw that in his face. And I think that's a shitty.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Until we see what comes out. You don't know what happened in the last two months. You don't know what the relationship is with some of the top brass, what might have happened, what's going on. And again, this is where we're like, dude, I'm going to stand with the player. Like it's, it's not like this is a guy who just signed an extension and he's only been there a couple of years and now he's like, oh, we didn't make playoffs. I'm out. It's been a decade, man. I'll say it again, like you deserve. He has earned every bit of his right to go. I would like to try something different. So completely behind Larks on this one. One really quickly. Places that I would love to see him go or could see him going. I would bet my left nut that he is not going to any Canadian team. So let's take that off.

[Dan Powers]

Someone said Edmonton up here. I can't remember.

[Chris Powers]

Are you high? Like this guy is a full no move clause. There's no planet where that happens. Also I love how every time people like the Oilers and I'm always like this with what, with what prospects and with what caps face.

[Dan Powers]

It's about hockey. Goes Larkin and Gibson for Trent Frederick and Jar.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Great. That was good.

[Chris Powers]

That's so funny. A lot of people are saying Minnesota. Obviously that makes sense with Quinner and Billy G and Fabes. I. I don't know guys. They are going to have to give Quinn Hughes a bag to keep him around. And when you just traded two first round picks for Quinn, I think so. You, I don't know that you can run the risk of like we're going to the cap even trickier to get that done. And then also if you're moving Dylan Larkin, you're need. You need a first round pick like this year and next year probably maybe not two, but probably. And Minnesota doesn't have that. So I don't know if that one works. I love Utah.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, sure. You said that.

[Chris Powers]

I love that with Keller. I absolutely love a Boston. We talked about the Posternak comments being like, dude, I'm about to turn 30. Larks is about to turn 30. Yep. Like Bang. There's your center you've been looking for. He's got McAvoy and Sway there. Like that makes a ton of sense to me. I. I really, really, really love the Carolina Hurricanes. A team that already has the cap space. A team that's got a lot of juicy picks.

[Dan Powers]

Yep.

[Chris Powers]

A lot of juicy picks and some pretty damn good prospects. They literally have to do nothing. Nothing.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

As far as cap wise. And then you go pink. Dylan Larkin playing with take your pick. Push Stank back out to the wing.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Nick Ehlers and Dylan Larkin for the next one.

[Dan Powers]

At least he's in the Met. He's still in the east, but at

[Chris Powers]

least get him, you get him out of the Atlantic. That's another great one.

[Zach]

What about the Mammoth?

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, you said we said Utah a second ago. I love that one. You absolutely know LA is going to be making calls on that for sure. You know Vegas is going to be making calls on that for sure. A lot of USA boys in Vegas like it's. It's going to be very fun. Very fun and I'm super excited for them.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, dude. This is an I. It's going to be emotional roller coaster but this is going to be awesome.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Legitimately Dylan.

[Chris Powers]

La la la.

[Dan Powers]

Please, please.

[Evan]

I got two things here.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Really. I really think is first of all

[Chris Powers]

at Blakely M you got to talk into the mic. You sorry.

[Evan]

At Bikeley M22 bet the Olympics is one of the reasons where this is coming from. I'm going to give you my hair brain theory in the NBA after the All Star Games you will see these random wild transitions. Especially this is to me and I've been watching hockey.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Is this a comment talking to you talking?

[Dan Powers]

This is him talking.

[Evan]

This is me talking. But I'm thinking this is the first time in hockey where we've seen a team that has such great chemistry and great vibes on this Olympic team. Where we now see the later summer off season trades start to happen where these guys play with each other. We have seen this in the NBA before. This has happened prior and now I think it has spread to hockey on the adverse. I do want to make this point as an NBA fan. We have got to the dark side of the players era and and empowerment era.

[Dan Powers]

Yes.

[Evan]

And it can get really ugly. And this is basically right now, the hot in the NHL in 2026 is where the NBA was in 2016, 2017.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

And I think I would be cautious as the NHL to look at the NBA and go back to that 2016, 2017 NBA and go that could be us.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah, I. That's fucking.

[Dan Powers]

And dude. What do you do though, Zach? Because this is a legitimate question I have.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

Because I do get pissed when I'm like a player signs a con like you signed a contract, dude, like you signed a contract. You be a man of your word. Like you said this many years, we'll pay you this much money. So I hear that. But I also think a player should be able to kind of maybe behind closed doors go to a GM and go, hey, dude, this isn't working. I want out. I'll work with you. But like let's figure out a way make it work to get me out of here. I think that's completely fine. But I'm also like, eventually though, if it's like like horrible playing situation, I don't begrudge a player being like, bro, I'm not playing. And they go, we're not going to pay you. And I'll go, fine, I already have 50 million. I don't care if you never pay me again. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

I want to say, Zach. Yeah. Phenomenal point. I absolutely loved that. I'd also like to say, Chris, phenomenal point. I absolutely love that. My take on this is. I.

[Dan Powers]

They say you lost your southern accent, Zach.

[Chris Powers]

I know you did get very eloquent as much.

[Evan]

I got serious and I am like, I. I mean I like the NHL. I like watching hockey. This Olympics team was very vibes and this is the. The banana boat and.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Yep.

[Evan]

Wait, now we're starting to see banana boat creep into the NHL and that can be a very ugly.

[Zach]

You would hope they'd want to go to a team rather than just go play with some buds. Yes, yes, necessarily mean you're gonna win.

[Dan Powers]

You're just. Yeah, right. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Yes.

[Evan]

But look how many times that's happened in the NBA. Times that there are guys that. Yeah, no, I'll get off this.

[Zach]

But does it work out all the time?

[Evan]

It.

[Chris Powers]

Not all the time. Okay, hold on. This is my point. Yeah, great point. Great point. The thing that you have to keep that in mind because we can't let that happen. The. The reason I, I like it is because one NHL teams are so much bigger, dude.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Chris Powers]

It's definitely a little bit different when we're talking about like a five player rotation here. I think that helps. It's so much bigger. It's never going to be that crazy where the like the inmates won't take over the asylum. When it's like you're talking about a roster of 23 guys and you know, so I think that's a factor. I think the other big factor for me that I like about this. One of my least favorite things about European football is you sign a player and you give them a five year contract. They any other team in the world can buy that player at any moment. The contracts mean nothing in European football. It's insane. So like Enzo Fernandez on Chelsea signs an eight year deal with Chelsea. He's like two, three or. I think he re upped recently, but he's like, he's got like six or five years left on that deal. And now Real Madrid is like, we're gonna buy Enzo Fernandez. And Chelsea is being like, I think he kind of wants to leave. So. So we're just going to sell them. And it's like, it's not a trade. You're going to get paid for it. But it is crazy because you're like, what the fuck's the point of the contract? I football right now.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Powers]

So true. As I've gotten older, I have kind of come around to a. And this is what you just said, which I really like. I have come around to a. If you don't want to be Here, I don't want you here. And that's not a go fuck yourself. It's a. It's going to be better for everyone.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

And what's great, I think about players starting to feel more comfortable when the team has control. Like Matt, that Matthew Tkachuk as an rfa, and now Dylan Larkin under contract going, hey, I don't want to be here anymore. Let's figure out a trade. You're giving the team the opportunity to be like this. Okay. Like, I don't want you here if you're. If you're going to be disgruntled and pissed off. I'm not going to get the best out of you. And it's just going to waste years of both of our lives. So it's like, I would rather players not knee jerk reactions where like, a guy's like a year into a contract and he's only been on the team for so long, but in a situation like this, which I think is a perfect example, to be like this dude. Yes. I want you to feel the strength to go, you know what? I would like to fucking leave. Yep. And I. I am telling you, nothing would make me happier. Nothing would make me happier. As a hockey fan and someone who gets to talk about hockey, to see all of these guys do it like, I want, I want this summer. Dylan Larkin traded. Brady Tkachuk, traded. Austin Matthews, traded. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl traded. I want all of them traded this summer. And I want that for the Mayhem. Yes. Because it's fun for us, but I want it for them infinitely more if that's what they want. And I want it for the teams.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah. Yes.

[Chris Powers]

I want it for these teams. If you have players where it's not working and they want to leave, it's going to be better for you. Go get your fucking picks. Go get your fucking different players and start again, try again. And then it's up to you as the team to make it work. That's the other side of what you just said, Chris. It's like, yeah, if I give you fucking $80 million and I'm like, we got a win here, that is great. And as the player, I'm like, thanks.

[Dan Powers]

Thank you.

[Chris Powers]

And I gotta perform on the ice. But if I'm doing my job, like, in my opinion, Dylan Larkin has like Connor McDavid has, like Leon Draisaitl has, like, fucking Austin Matthews and Brady Tkachuk, have you got to do your part too, and build some shit around me and get a winning team. On the ice. And if that's not happening, it's okay to leave. Yeah, I'm done.

[Dan Powers]

No, that's it, dude. Yeah.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

This is going to be awesome. It's like. And this might happen at the draft, like, there's a reason. And I said this earlier, and. Yeah, this is fine to say I said this earlier. These aren't scoops. Aren't like, accidental scoops. I. I know this is a sports fan. I was like, whoa, let that get out. Scoop. Like somebody accidentally leaked this. Incorrect. Every sort. Good sources say every time you've ever seen an NHL insider, an NFL insider, an NBA insider, anytime you've ever seen a connected person tweet, good sources say, blah, blah, blah, they have received good information because someone intentionally told them to start navigating the story or to put pressure on a move. So someone likely from Larkin's camp, in this case, I haven't spoken to anybody. Someone from Larkin's camp, likely. Possibly the Wings camp, but likely Larkin's camp went. Hey, Elliot, here's what's happening. Please leak this today because we need X and Y and Z to happen.

[Chris Powers]

Yeah.

[Dan Powers]

So this was intentionally leaked so the ball would get rolling before the draft. So there's a chance that something can happen with picks cup coming in this draft. So keep your antenna up, because this is going to be sick.

[Chris Powers]

Yep. It's true.

[Dan Powers]

Let's rip some cards, buddy.

[Chris Powers]

Let's close out this episode and rip some cards.

[Dan Powers]

Hit the brakes up, dude. Get the brakes up.

[Chris Powers]

Starting with this one, we've got a Pokemon Mega Evolution. Perfect order, it says. I got an additional Pokemon TCG booster pack in here.

[Dan Powers]

Yep. And this one, too. Mega Evolution. Chaos rising.

[Chris Powers]

Here's the thing, folks. If you listen to Last step, I'm getting back into the Pokemon game. There's gonna be a lot of Pokemon in here that I don't know.

[Dan Powers]

Oh, true.

[Chris Powers]

So that's also gonna be exciting. It technically is Friday too, Zach.

[Dan Powers]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Friday breaks on Friday breaks.

[Dan Powers]

That's awesome.

[Chris Powers]

I love how locks can.

[Dan Powers]

No, locks can sense it somewhere. Locks right now.

[Chris Powers]

[Dan Powers]

Oh, she's adorable.

[Chris Powers]

[Dan Powers]

Oh, damn.

[Chris Powers]

This is unbelievable. We got grand wings here. Blow through. We got a lux.

[Dan Powers]

Believable. I'm gonna do this a little faster here. We gotta. Oh,

[Dan Powers]

Thought we had great action.

[Chris Powers]

Got an energy swatter. But we got some. We got some shiny here. Here we got a snivy holographic. Okay, that feels like it's something. We got another holographic here. Ariados all holographic. 110 HP. That's big.

[Dan Powers]

That's probably pretty good.

[Chris Powers]

That's a big card.

[Dan Powers]

We're chipping away.

[Chris Powers]

Yep. And now we got some energy. Energy.

[Dan Powers]

Oh yeah. I forgot about that stuff.

[Zach]

Okay.

[Evan]

All right.

[Dan Powers]

I forgot you get energies.

[Chris Powers]

Good little rip here.

[Dan Powers]

Couple hollows.

[Chris Powers]

Let's do the next rip here.

[Dan Powers]

This is the. This is the case hit.

[Chris Powers]

I liked. I. I like this case from the jump.

[Dan Powers]

Dude. Mewtwo is still the guy, huh? Mewtwo shiny. Mewtwo. Mewtwo Mega Evolution shiny.

[Chris Powers]

Shiny is. I feel like why aren't we saying,

Yeah, yeah, that's shiny. We got two shinies in that.

[Dan Powers]

Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
