Are we? Am I? I think it's said, I think it's logical. What how don't you find?

[00:00:20]

Are we?

[00:00:21]

Am I? This time was by, I'll be your simple way. Should I do you mind, oh, we, am I? I'm fighting for love. I'm finding for love.

[00:00:39]

Arraise me up and see my way. It's the Fly in for love. Fly in for love. Raise me up and see my willingness. I'm fighting for love. I'm fighting for love. Raise me up and see my willingness.

[00:00:56]

This is the way it has to be. Tell me why they love to be. Fighting for love. Fighting for. Or raise the Earth. I've seen my weariness of fighting for love. I'll reach the end and see not where it ends. I've been out here, scared of you. You took a fall. I'm fed up here.

[00:01:55]

How did you feel this love is dead? Oh.

[00:02:07]

This love is staring, staring, staring, staring, staring. God, I'm fighting for love. I'm fighting for love. Raise me up and see my willingness. I'm fighting for love. Gripper Nation. Are you ready for game three? Let's go, baby. Yeah. All right. Listen, I was thinking about today. I was driving around in my big stupid truck, and I was thinking, what can I bring to the Gripper party tonight that could be new and could be different? I was thinking about producer Hayden, and I was thinking, he does this cool stat pack. What if we had some gripper stats? You know what I'm saying? Forget the oilers and the stars for a second. Did you know That a quarter of the bones in your body are in your feet. You see what I'm saying? 56. Sorry. 52 of the 206 bones in your body are in your feet. 26 bones. Each foot has 33 joints and over 100 muscles, ligaments, tendons. Baby's foot bones keep developing until they become teenagers. I don't know. Maybe you knew that. Maybe you didn't. Gripper Nation. I'm going to be dropping some feet facts in there. And by the way, listen to those oilers fans.

[00:04:15]

They are pumped. They are ready. I hope you're ready. I just want to say I love the... I love some of the grip, grip, hooray. How are my fellow Gripheads doing? #grippernation #grippernation, knew where it's at. Did you guys take over Steve's stream last night? I heard we got real close to my foot being a microphone. I heard it almost happen. I heard it almost happen. Listen, you get to that 500 subs level, we can do it. I will generously donate my foot to that cause. So now we're getting ready for the National Anthem. Let's talk about the... I find the National Anthem is boring. I'm not going to lie. Maybe there's... Are they intentionally supposed to be boring? Do they have to... I don't know. Anyway, let's talk about the oilers. Adam Henrique drawing in today. This is big because he was their big deadline pickup, and he gives you the option to obviously have a really good third-line center, but also, this is really key, gives you an opportunity to stack those first two lines. You move Dylan Holloway off that spot although he has looked good there. Leon Dreisetel, Evander Cain and Adam Henryk, Nuj, Connor McDavid, Zack Hyman.

[00:05:36]

Or if you want to move Leon Dreisetel up, you can also switch Nuj for him. Listen, there's plenty of things that Chris Noble can do tonight to make sure that his team wins this game. And win this game, we think they shall. At least, producer Hayden told me that before the game. And let me tell you this, the oilers have not lost two in a row this postseason. They are eight and one after a loss dating back to last postseason. So four and 0 this postseason, four and one last postseason, not bad. Ryan McCloud is out of the lineup tonight. He had zero points in 14 games. Adam Enrique has, as I mentioned, he's in, 15 points in 34 career playoff games. That includes six goals. Three of them are game winners. I don't know what is about hockey, but that stat feels more important than it should, because that really should be a random occurrence, right? Should be something that you're like, nah, it doesn't really matter, and that's fluky or whatever. But there is something Barclay-Goudreou about this-ish about this. You know what I mean? Barclay, four goals all year. I think he's six in the playoffs now.

[00:06:45]

What's that about? There are just certain players at certain times that do certain things. Adam Henrich could be that guy. And Edmonton's third line has been outscored one to six in the playoffs thus far. That's Fogal McCloud and Derrick Ryan. So I'm assuming that Adam Henrich could hopefully change that. The others went 12 minutes and 14 seconds between shots on goal in the first and second period, and went 11 minutes and 43 seconds between shots on goal in the third period. That's rough. And after the first period in game two, the Dallas stars took over and said, This is ours now. I don't know that that's going to be necessarily possible in the same way at home. The Edmonton oilers obviously have line matching capabilities He's here. They've got the crowd on their side, and they've got a lineup that's a little juiced up with Adam Hendrik drawing in. We love this. Edmonton had nine high danger scoring chances in the first, but combined for three for the rest of game two. So it's really going to be about consistent 60-minute effort. Now, let's talk about the Dallas stars a little bit here. Rupe Hints is back in the lineup.

[00:07:53]

They thought he might be available for the series. For him to be in this early is actually a great surprise, and they're thrilled about it. His speed is going to be very interesting to watch. It looks like he's going to take the first face off here. And what's going to be, I think, the biggest thing is Edmonton figuring out how to deal with a deeper Dallas stars lineup that is already very very deep. I'm just pulling up the Dallas stars lines here. Robertson, Hints, Sagan. I got to say, Robertson and Sagan had a great game. Sorry, period. Started. They didn't show the face off. I would have done the clap thing. Producer Hayden will be updating tonight. I know Robert Malloy is in the chat. I believe Justin Fisher is doing chat for SDPN, so I want to thank the crew for being here. We'll see if Jesse comes in and causes some trouble. And let's go through the lineups for the Dallas stars. So I said Robertson, Hints, and Sagan. Sagan had a great series. Mason Marshman really came on last game. He became really noticeable. Dushane, Pavelski, really liked that line. Jamie Ben, Wyatt Johnson, and Logan Stankow.

[00:08:56]

And they're getting the production that they need. Sagan and Ben have worked really well together when they do. The great thing for the Dallas coaching staff is they're going to be able to move guys in and around. Then it's DeLandria, Sam Steele, and Craig Smith. You have to forgive me. I am dealing with a raging headache. It's gripping my forehead. And it's because a big storm rolled into Toronto recently, a couple of hours ago. I went from being perfectly fine to life as hell. But it's okay. I took a couple of Tylenol. I'm here. Pain, not Not free quite yet, but we're getting there. And maybe a couple of coffees later, I'll be good to go. I'm not sure if you're one of those people that does it like I do it, but pain, pain, pain, pain whenever the weather switches like that. Pessanin, Adam, what is your favorite Aerosmith song and why? Boy, that's a good question. I think Nine Lives because there's a great story behind it, they owed a bunch of money and were in debt, and they had to go back on tour, and they had to have a hit album, and they did.

[00:10:03]

I love Nine Lives. I love Toys in the Attic. One of my favorite songs that Aerosmith does is Toys in the Attic. It's so good live, so much better live. You guys are going to laugh at me here. I don't want to miss a thing, which is the first number one hit they ever had from the Armageddon movie. They didn't write it. They wrote it with Diane Warren, who's written a bazillion hits. The guys in the band didn't want to play it. It was Steven Tyler that Guys, we have to do this. We have to do this song. It is the most successful billboard song to this day, and it's bought them plenty of mansions. Good for them. Good for them. You know what? It's a great ballad. It's a great ballad. Love it in an elevator is a good one, too. Sweet emotion. Loving an Elevator on their live album. Delish. So good. Another good one is Eat the Rich. Oh, here we go. We got a nice first shot of the game, a little week backhander, but a bit of a tricky one on Jake Ottinger there. Yeah. Can you clap with your feet?

[00:11:03]

I cannot clap totally with my feet. Yeah, you guys will... You can hit me up with your favorite Aerosmith songs. I'm down. Let's talk a little classic rock while we're watching the... Oh, we got a goal by Connor McDavid already. Or was that Zack Hyman that tipped that in? Zack Hyman was using his booty power on Jake Ottinger. Those cheeks were right in Jake Ottinger's His face. All cheeks. That's all Jake Ottinger saw on that one. I think he might have tipped it. The camera is showing him. I haven't seen the replay yet, but there's a guy with a beer, another guy with a beer, and they're yelling. Let's go. So Ken keeps it alive. A little shot off of Ottinger. Oh, wow. So Zack did tip that in. From the side, look at that. And Midway Wow. That's a hell of a tip. That is not easy. Wow. That's a great goal by Zack Hyman. Clear the net. Nice little shot by McDavid. Boy, they make a good pair, don't they? Steve was betting against Zack Hyman to get a point tonight. Sorry, Steve. I guess your parlay is toast, my friend. That's in the Bet MGM big story segment on today's SDP.

[00:12:29]

People are asking in the chat, Guys, is there anywhere that you can watch the game? Because I don't believe CBC Gem is carrying it. If you guys can help out Bottom O Washington. Bottom of Washington would like to know where you can watch. Hey, nice little sign on the top there, Enclosed shoes to be worn in this area. Not here. These are my shoes tonight. That's right. Oh, that was Justin that did that? Oh, that's funny. Justin's a funny guy. Yeah, these are my shoes. Do these count as enclosed shoes? Because they do have these nice air holes, right? I don't know if they're totally done. Steve Dangle's Mighty Roar. That's not actually Steve Dangle. Big Cheeks, Hyman has a lot of grip on the cuteness factor. Yeah, sure. He's a handsome guy. Wow. These are my office crocs. Do the crocs grip? Yeah, they grip. They grip, kids. They grip. Okay, here we go. Tyler Sagan, putting it deep. Dallas not loving what's happened in the first three minutes of this game. Not loving this at all. Edmonton does exactly what they need to do to get their crowd fired up, as if Edmonton fans need more of an invitation to get fired up.

[00:14:08]

But look at it. By the way, I want to say a little shout out to Edmonton fans, especially the ones on the ground. Spectacular. The game is on TNT in the States, by the way, if anybody's watching. It's also on TruTV. I don't know what TruTV is, actually. Can someone explain what TruTV is? Is it Is it good? Is TruTV good? I don't even know what that is. 16:32 left in the first period. Here we go with the face off. Offensive zone. Mcdavid line back out there against take the Hayeskinnen line. Well, the Hayescanin defense pair, along with Thomas Harley. Oh, that is a trip. And you are going to the box, sir. You are going to the box. Bye-bye, Alex Petr That's not what you need, by the way. That's not what you need from your sixth defenseman. Justin Fisher is saying, Pick one player from both teams to score tonight, and I will give 10 subs. Okay, so I'm not going to pick Zack Hyman, but I am going to pick... I'm going to say because he's back, Rupe Hints. I'm picking Rupe, the roopster. And then from the Edmondson Oiler, should we get hipster about this?

[00:15:29]

Because Because McDavid's Hyman is pretty obvious on the nose. Does Connor Brown get another one? The fourth line for Edmondson, I liked last game, too, but they didn't get scoring chances. You know what? Let's get crazy with Edmonton. Let's get a Dylan Hollowey goal. And I say, Let's get crazy, because not a lot of people outside of the major guys in Edmonton are scoring, and that's okay. That's good. Fine. As long as they're scoring, you're good. They probably could use some help, but you're good. Holloway's got three goals in these playoffs. Let's get him as fourth tonight. Oyler's power play here, though. We're looking for Justin to give those subs. Who needs a sub, by the way? Hit it up. Steve Dangle's Mighty Roar, Whose elbow are we tickling today? I don't know. That's a good question. I don't know. Jake Trubas. Steeson Schiller, TruTV. It's not reality, it's actuality. True crime and courtroom stuff. And they're running the game? They're running the hockey game? Is it part of the Turner Network? Okay, so did True TV used to be Court TV? Because that was a thing, too, for a while. Also, no Cory Perry in the lineup tonight.

[00:16:55]

Just does not work within this Edmondson system. I know that somebody's going to him up this summer, though. Here we go, Edmondson. Offensive zone, face off, P1 out there. Or excuse me, PP1. They're showing us their PPs. Mcdavid, Ben. And Ben gets the... I don't know how you call that a win, but... Cj Cable. Not a channel that matters, TruTV. Just part of the package. So they put games on it to draw people to the channel. That's funny that a guy named CJ Cable is telling us about cable packages. Oh, nice little give and go there. Bouchard over to McDavid right on the crest. But a good little save by Oetinger. 22 seconds left on the power play. 14:35 left in the first period. Here we go. Henry is getting some power plate time. That's good. Steve Dangle's Mighty Roar. What should I order from Wendy's? Oh, that's an easy one. Two. Here's what I order. You ready? If I'm feeling real juicy, I get two JBCs, which are my favorite hamburger in the world. To me, a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger is the perfect hamburger. It's not too much of anything. It's just enough of everything.

[00:18:44]

It's perfect. And when the lettuce is crisp, beautiful. And if I'm feeling really hungry, like I haven't eaten all day, I might throw in something crazy, maybe some French fries, maybe a baked potato. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, three Junior Bacon cheeseburgers. Daniel, damn. Damn, damn, Daniel. Baconator, extra bacon. Yeah, Benoît. I can't have a Baconator anymore because my... Well, I can. I just don't know if I could eat anything else the rest of the day. It's a unameal, right? It's the once in 24 hours. Dave Glatz. Trutv is a part of the Turner Network, but they are running a side cast that has time on ice and other stats with other commentators on it. Kind of like what we do, except without the rights. Are the commentators good? Who are the commentators? I would love to know who they are. Hang on. All right. Writing a message. There we go. Son of a baconator is the perfect amount of baconator. Haven't tried that one. Spicy baked potato, chili and a frosty. Do you put a little of the chili on the baked potato with a little of that sour cream and chives? Beautiful. By the way, something you should grow in your garden this spring, because believe it or not, I love a garden.

[00:20:14]

I was a landscaper for years and love a garden. Garlic. Not garlic itself. Why can't I think here? My brain is so foggy tonight. You're going to have to bear with me here. Garlic chives, baby. Have you ever had garlic chives? Chives are amazing, especially fresh ones right from the garden. You snip them and then put them on your potatoes or your mushrooms or whatever it is you're using them for, put them in your eggs. The garlic ones, pick those up and grow them. I'm telling you, you've never had chives that taste this good. They are just awesome. Do you grow chillies in your garden? I have never grown chillies in my garden. Never have. I'd like to. My daughter grows tomatoes every year with my mom and my stepdad. Mixed chili and orange creamsicle Frosty? What? Chili and orange creamsicle Frosty? I didn't even know that Wendy's had that. I only just ever get the chocolate Frosty. Orange creamsicle Frosty, trust me, Grip Gang. I don't know. Are we on with that? With Steve Nangle's Mighty Roar there. So the commentators on the TruTV feed are Steve Mears, who is the Penguin's radio guy, and Kolby Armstrong, and a guy who's VP of Stats from the NHL.

[00:21:43]

Oh, that's cool. Really cool. Kolby's awesome. I've never met him, but I really like him on the air. I have to be honest, I've never heard Steve Mears before because I haven't listened to a lot of Pittsburgh radio, although I'm very well aware of KDKA. And the stats guys, that sounds cool. All right, as if you couldn't get any fatter mixing chili with ice cream. I know. What is that? That's wild. I've never heard orange ice cream, of all things. Steeson Schiller, my six-year-old just discovered, she likes chives and has been eating them fresh out of the garden. Permanent onion breath. But damn, they are so good, Steeson. I don't blame her. And good for her. Get her started on the veggies early. 13:17 left in the first period. Edmonton out shooting and out playing Dallas here. There's just really not really been a heck of a lot of a cont. Almost had another shot that looked very dangerous there from Sam Kerick. Sam Kerick line out there. And I got to tell you, this line has looked good. Janmark, Ryan, Karek, not bad. Not a bad little combo. And this recently just came together because I know that Derek Ryan was playing with Warren Fogel on the third line.

[00:22:59]

Connor Brown's got that spot right now. He has a goal in this series. And I want to say, Edmonton blew the doors off in the first period last game. I thought they were amazing, and then just weren't great the rest of the way. Or maybe just Dallas was great. Oh, by the way, they've readjusted Dallas's shots. We're down from two shots to one shot. So if you're a stars fan, I'm sorry, but your shot count just got worse. I'm so sorry. I'm so very sorry. By the way, I I'll tell you. Okay. Hey, if you want to come hang out with us, my next stream is going to be at Boston Pizza in Vawn. Gripper Nation is going live, guys. It's going to be on Wednesday, Wednesday night, and you are literally going to see me in a booth at Boston Pizza, and there's going to be a bunch of people around, and the whole world is going to see Gripper Nation live and in person, which I think is pretty cool. We're selling tickets right now. You can find that on the SDPN Twitter page if you want to, or in the description of our latest podcast.

[00:24:02]

So come buy a ticket. Come hang out with us. The clock is going to be updated. Don't worry, guys. We update it on every Face Off. Comes at home. There's a goal. At home with a nice little wrap around, McDavid with the next goal. Damn. You know what, Justin? Justin Fisher asked me to pick a guy who was going to score. I should have just picked McDavid. After that Zack Hyman thing, I was like, well, he can't score again, right? He can't just score again. It's Connor McDavid. Yes, he can. Pick the obvious choice. 19, are Steve and Jesse coming, too? Of course, they are. We're doing a live podcast, and then I'm doing a live stream, guys. It's going to be sick. We're in the best time. Let's go to buy some pizza, have some beers, eat some pizza, watch some games. And I'm getting word from producer Hayden that McDavid has become the fourth fastest player in NHL history to 100 points in the playoffs. The people ahead of him, I believe, are Gretsky, Messier, and Dreisaitl. Pretty wild, pretty Wild. Steve Daniels, Mighty Roar, What do I order a BP if I'm allergic to pizza?

[00:25:23]

They got some good wings. Steve also gets the chicken fingers. Steve, every time we're out, he sings that song from TikTok, I don't need this menu. Oh, here we go, Dallas. Oh, Stankovan. I thought maybe... Not Stankovan. That is not Stankovan. But even so, thought Dallas had one there. Why Johnston was the guy. Steve orders the chicken fingers wherever he goes, so I would get those. And they're real good. They're real good at Boston Pizza. Just launch, Alex Kergripper. Would that be Alex Kerfoot? Stop it. That was good. That was good. I get it. Gripper Nation, freaking bringing the heat on a Wednesday or Monday night. What am I saying? Wednesday night, we're live at Boston Pizza, baby. I So here's the thing I've been thinking. I want to do these streams, but I want to do them, if possible, with you there. Steve does, too. And I think we're going to try it with mine on Wednesday. It just worked out that the dates worked that way. So game four, Edmondson, Dallas. And the whole point here is to see if we can create a movement, not just Gripper Nation. Oh, it's Mario. So Wayne, Mario, Leon, and Connor.

[00:26:41]

Wayne Gretsky hit 100 points in 46, Mario hit 100 points in 50, Leon, 100 points in 60, and Connor, 100 points in 64 playoff games. That's crazy. So all I'm saying is I want you to come join me and hang out because I want to start something. I want to make this a big play. And And I want this to be something next year where if we're doing streams, maybe once a month, we do a stream live at a location somewhere, Boston Pizza, ideally, somewhere maybe in the GTA. Maybe if we get enough viewers in, we start doing Boston Pizza countrywide. I'm just saying. Might be fun, right? Pizzenin. Seems like Edmonton does not have any trouble handling the deeper stars roster. Well, It sure doesn't. And it makes me wonder, have we misjudged the oilers? Maybe their roster is deeper. What's the gripper policy at Boston Pizza? I would imagine it's no shoes, no shirt, no service. But I'll check on that with you guys. Adam, would BP still be open if the game went to quadruple overtime on Wednesday? You bet. Or maybe it's just me by myself, and they lock the doors.

[00:27:56]

They're like, Come out whenever you're ready. That would be hilarious, wouldn't it? Just a bunch of tired people sleeping in the booth like, When can we go home? They would for sure close the kitchen on us. They'd lock us in there. Come to Edmonton for an SDPN Cup final watch party. Guys, I would die and go to heaven. That would be the best. Other than the least in the finals, I would love to come to Edmonton for that. Budget permitting. The Purple Cat 50, No pants, baby. I'm in a Boston pizza. Yeah. Two nothing oilers. 10:34 left in the first. Two nothing. Shots are two. Sorry, nine, two. Edmondson. Amazing Cooke, one, four, three. I would totally go to Boston Pizza if it didn't take seven and a half hours to drive there and require a border crossing. Well, I do appreciate that. And listen, if you're out of the country, no expectations from us. We're just thrilled that you're watching, but we would like to see at some event, and maybe we can get closer to you because we We got to start doing some stuff stateside. We have a lot of American listeners.

[00:29:03]

You guys are super supportive, and we need to get down there as much as we possibly can. It's just a little spency-poot right now. It's a little expensive. Robert Malloy. I just put the Eventbrite link in the chat there so you can check it out. Do we have any Dallas fans in the chat tonight? How many How many people here are stars fans? How many people here are feeling sad and depressed right now? I'm all the way here in NYC, so it'd be awesome if you guys did an event here. We can do that. Boston Pizza started in Edmonton. I know. Listen, why don't you email Boston Pizza's head office and tell them, Hey, you guys should fly Steve, Adam, and Jesse, and the entire SDPN crew, all of them. Cj, Julian, Robert, Justin, Drew, everybody. Even Drew, even Drew, out there. Gripper Nation. Let's get crazy. Oh, we got a North Stars fan here. I unfortunately am related to stars fans, but I am rooted for Edmonton. I'm a Bruins fan, bandwagon stars fan, not feeling great. Abby, tell me, are you from Dallas? Why did you become a bandwagon stars fan? I'm a Dallas fan, but I want to see a Canadian team win, so I'm very emotionally I'm suddenly confused.

[00:30:31]

Shut up, Kristen says, Philly is waiting for you. If I show up wearing a Santa Claus costume, are you guys going to pelt me with snowballs? Steve Dangle's Mighty Roar, who else hates bacon? I feel like you're just trolling at this point. Nobody hates bacon, right? Unless you're a vegan. Hayden hates vegan. No, Hayden does not hate vegans. Hayden just said in my ear, he doesn't like bacon. Hayden, what else don't you like that would surprise us? Hayden also doesn't like lasagna. Hayden hates happiness and light. I'm kidding. He doesn't. That is really surprising. My wife does not like cheese. So there you go. Hey, it's Wigelman or Wilgeman. I still don't have a pronunciation on your last name. I hope you don't mind. Would love a series where you pop in and watch games in the regular season between rival teams, Boston Habs, Detroit Habs, Blues, Hawks. Yeah, you know what? So here's what What I'm going to do next year for you guys. I haven't run this by Steve and Jesse yet, but I'm ideally looking for the Monday night game. And maybe, because I know Amazon is picking it up here in Canada, some of those will be leaf games, but some of them won't.

[00:31:48]

And maybe certain nights where the leaves aren't on early, I'll do a late stream, and I'll do some more Western conference things, because you know what? You guys have all shown up for me, and you're all Western conference fans, and I'd like to show up for you. Really do appreciate it. It's cool that a bunch of guys from Toronto are able to do this. So I thought that was... Oh, boy, that Jamie Ben line, I'm telling you, Edmonton is going to have some trouble with that line. That's a good line. I'll remind you again that that line is Ben Johnson and Stankovan. It's just an embarrassment of riches for the Dallas stars if they can get it going. Pete And Boar, apparently, has split up Lindell and Tanev. And if you've been paying attention to our stat packs with producer Hayden, the stats god, you would know that Tanev and Lindell have been the least effective pair for them in goals against Per-60 throughout the entire playoffs. And they weren't doing a good job containing McDavid. So you maybe need to do something else. Now, let's see how the defense lines up here, because I haven't actually had a look.

[00:32:54]

But I wonder, do you move Suter up with Tanev? Does that make sense? Does he have the mobility to Can keep a guy like McDavid in check? Do you move Harley down and maybe Lindell up? Oh, boy. It's almost three-nothing there. I thought that was a goal for sure. Conor McDavid. Oh, baby. He's on one tonight, guys. That must feel very cool if you're an Edmondson fan, being like, Yeah, tonight's a Connor night. That must be very exciting. We have nights like that in Toronto with Matthew. He's like, Okay, Matthew is going to score a billion tonight. That's how he feel. Marner has nights like that, too, where you're like, Wow, Neylander takes over. Those are special, special nights. But to have the best player in the world go, Okay, tonight's my night, That's pretty neat. Anyway, I'm curious to see what De Boer does with this because they need a little mobility against McDavid. Him and Hyman are great skaters, and not to take anything away from Nuj, who is also a great skater, but that's a line that can turnstile you in a pretty quick moment. 5:30 left in the first period. Boy, this is blowing by.

[00:34:07]

Headache is also abating, which I love. Pj, Connor nights feel pretty cool. Aaron Grace, to make it about the leaves, did you read into the Berube meeting Marner thing? No. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean he's staying. It doesn't mean he's getting traded. It doesn't mean anything. It means a head coach is doing his job and meeting with the star players under contract next season for the Toronto Maple Leaps, as he should. Listen, the players, whenever you have a coach taking over, you got to talk to the players on the team that are the power play guys. And what I mean by that is the guys who are going to win and lose you games depending upon how they play. And ask them, Where do you I think... Craig's lucky. He's got the entire summer to prepare for training camp. He can sit there and talk to Marner and talk to Matthews and talk to DeVars and talk to Neil or talk to Reilly and go, Where have we been going wrong in your opinion? And then he can take their opinions and go back and watch some game tape and go, Okay, who do I think was right?

[00:35:18]

Who do I agree with? Bingo Bongo. It's just what a good head coach does. Also, I feel bad for them because nothing's safe. I guess it comes with being a celebrity, and hockey players are celebrities, but they're just trying to have a coffee, right? And then people take pictures of them. So that's a bummer. But I guess that's part of being a celebrity. Tim Roby show. How did Rodriguez not get fined for that vicious headbut to Truba's elbow? Get a grip, George. #grippernation. It's a good point. Jake Truba's elbow, first off, his bank account is so much lighter today. Five thousand bucks. What will he do? Secondly, Yeah, Evan Rodriguez needs to watch where he puts his face. It came awfully close to Truba's elbow, and that could have hurt Truba. We can't have that. We can't have that. Pete DeBore on Connor McDavid, Cross your fingers and pray. Oh, my goodness. Hey, so producer Aiden just alerted me to the fact that Ben Stetler, who I'm sure oilers fans and fans all over the world remember, really special kid in Edmonton. It would have been his eighth birthday today. So he said, Maybe that's the reason McDavid's on fire.

[00:36:42]

Boy, I need to get that yawn out. Now I feel good. Casey Foster. That's why a lot of players want to go south, not notice as much in public. Well, Casey, here's the problem. Hockey, especially in the south, is on an absolute heater right now. These guys don't realize it, but they're not going to be able to hide for long. The days of NHL players going unnoticed, I think in the next three to five years, are going away, and they're going away quick. Hockey is growing like a weed down there, and it should be. It's a great game. But I think that most likely they're going, Hey, all the no-tax states are in the South, and I don't have to snow. I think that's more like it. You look at a market like Dallas, like Nashville, I'm almost called Tennessee, but it is the Tennessee team. You look at Florida and Tampa. Yeah, maybe not everybody knows you because they might be key football fans, but there's a lot of people that know those guys. Carolina Hurricanes are immensely popular as well. It's growing, and it's good. Hockey players in New New York don't get noticed in public.

[00:38:01]

Well, they do get noticed, but we give them their space. Yeah, New York and LA are like that, though, aren't they? Well, I guess LA has got paparazzi, but there are more important people to follow around than the hockey players. New York, everybody's on their way to something. People who live in New York as celebrities tend not to get bothered too much. First off, because hockey is like, what, the fourth or fifth most popular sport in New York? How much play do the Rangers really get? On the radio and on television there, right? Especially when the Giants are playing, and the Yankees are playing, and the Mets are playing, and even the Jets. The Jets, the most tortured fan base in all fandom. They got a lot of oxygen. They got a lot of oxygen. Deb Benenke, there's too many other celebrities in Florida, they could blend in a bit. Yeah, you're right, because you forget, or I forget, Sunrise is like, what, 20 minutes outside of Miami? So essentially, it's a Miami team. So Action Jackson, go to bed. I don't know what it is. It gets after nine o'clock and I'm like, Oh, that's not what I do after nine o'clock.

[00:39:20]

That's unfortunate timing. It gets after nine o'clock and it's like, Well, you're going to be tired for 20 minutes, and then you're going to fire it up again. I will be making another coffee in intermission, though. I'm just trying to see who Lindell is playing with. I didn't see. You know what? These sidecasts, I hate to say it, it would be so much easier from inside an arena. Now, yes, Hayden, go ahead. He's on with a shooter. Okay, that's what I figured. Okay, I was just Taking grumpy old man says, Adam, you need to breathe deep. Your body is telling you it wants oxygen. Okay. Sunrise is way more than 20 minutes outside Miami. It's like 20 minutes outside of Fort Lauderdale. Okay, fair. Fine. Chicken Marsala. I hate how religious football is here. Because you see, I love football, and I love how religious it is. And I think it gives football fans a really good blueprint for how hockey can If you can be that passionate about football, you can be that passionate about hockey. You can. Absolutely. Downtown Miami is one hour away from Sunrise with traffic. Okay, so it's essentially in the Toronto equivalent, it would be like where Steve lives to where he has to come down to.

[00:40:51]

With traffic, Steve can be an hour in traffic from Ajax to Toronto. If you guys could do these from inside the stadium, that That would be awesome. Yeah, I would love that. I'm not sure how that would ever work because the teams would go, Sure, but why? That's just the way they be. They haven't recognized yet. They don't understand the power of Gripper Nation. Do you understand? Very few do. You know who does, though? The man that gets it is Steve Dangle. Steve Dangle understands what Gripper Nation can do, the type of chaos that can come with Gripper Nation. Adam, take some smelling salts to wake you up. Make K'Chuck proud. Hey, I have a question about smelling salts. We tried them on the show last year, and they're bonkers. They're bonkers. Do they kill brain cells? Because that stuff entered my nose and messed me up. It was like somebody took a rake to the inside of my brain. I was I feel like some of my brain cells must have died here. John Gibson, Most stadiums have bad Wi-Fi/cell service. Aha, that's because you're on the public Wi-Fi. When you're on the internal Wi-Fi, which I used to have when I worked for the Leifs for a couple of seasons.

[00:42:20]

It's primo, baby. It's primo. Adam, what are your thoughts on Dan Bilesma getting hired by Seattle? Well, this is a Stanley Cup winning coach who hasn't coached in the NHL in a while. When was his last time? I think his last time was Pittsburgh, right? And he's a former player as well, obviously. Yeah, okay. So he was an assistant in Detroit until recently when he was at the Charlotte Charlotte checkers and the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Oh, we did the Sabers. That's right. And the Sabers were garbage. Yeah. Man, what a crazy record this guy has. He's in Pittsburgh. First year, wins the Championship, then loses in Round 2, then loses in Round 1, then loses in Round 1, and then loses in Round 3, and then loses in Round 2. And then, sorry, you're fired. He won seven playoff rounds, eight playoff rounds for us after the Championship. But no, sorry, you go. I like Dan Bilesma. My question is, how modern is he? This guy did win a Jack Adams Award the year they won the Cup. Oh, no, the year after. No, the year after that. Two years after? All right. It's a risk you run with coaches that have been out for a while, and obviously, he's been in the AHL, so that's really unfair.

[00:43:54]

But what does Dan Bilesma know now, and what can he implement now that he didn't have before? I'm sure that Ron Francis has done his homework on that. It's an interesting hire. It's an interesting hire. It shows that the Kraken are very... They're weird, aren't they? They were garbage their first year, really good their second year, not great again this year. I really bet on them to make the playoffs. It's stupid. I don't know. I don't know what they quite want to be yet. Do you know what I'm saying? What is the Kraken's identity? Takes a few years to develop that, so we'll see. They'll be the nightmare of my gym. Their brand right now is there a nightmare for me because I wanted the leaves to keep Jared McCann, and I was told I was stupid for that. Well, one of the only things I was right about. Did I hear Monday nights are primed to get wild next season? Yeah, I'm hoping so. I don't know. Would you guys tune in every Monday and hang out? Because I feel like Mondays are a good night to do it because it gives you something to look forward to on a Monday.

[00:45:06]

If we're all hanging out here, it's fun, right? We all meet up, same crew, hang out. Monday nights are usually slower. You're like, Okay, I got to get home from work, and whatever. You know what I'm saying? Crack an Identity, King of Salary Cap Space. Yeah, they could be a player in the sweepstakes this year. I'm wondering what Sam Reinhardt gets. We were talking about this. I was on Stanley Cup Central on the NHL Network, and they were bringing it up, and nick Alberga and Pierre Maguire and Anna Duhot, they were all on. We're throwing that around, and nick was trying to get Pierre to bite on a dollar amount for Sam Reinhardt. The Caps situation is going to be tight in Florida, I do wonder. I wonder if another team takes them. Nfl Monday night football goes till January. Oh, maybe Monday is bad. Oh, well, you know what? Screw it. Bring it on. Bring it on. That's only January. That's halfway through the season. Yes, and maybe you'll miss my Monday streams for three months, and that will be okay. I will have to live with that if you're watching football. But I think Mondays would be fun.

[00:46:35]

This is my first stream. Does Adam talk about hockey at all? Jimmy, it's like being at my house. We're going to chill. Yes, I do talk about hockey a lot, but not as much as the other guys, because I see this more as a hangout. I'm not like live call in the game all the time. And really, let's be honest, the last six, seven minutes of that period, not a whole lot going on. Truba lost his stake in 821 baconators today. Is that what $5,000 will get you? 821 baconators? Most Monday night footballs are crap. No worries there. That's actually a good point. They were not good this year. They were bad matchups, weren't they? Or this past year? I don't know. I was thinking about the NFL. You don't want the NFL smoke. It's not comparable, Adam. Well, I just I think I'll just do Mondays. And if you can make it, you can make it, and we'll have fun. Stankovan went into the tunnel. I did see that. I didn't think, Zachary, That was that serious, though. He walked himself in. Yeah, he's hurt. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, a big shout out to Pierre-Luc Dubois, who is back from the World Championships and in the stream tonight.

[00:47:58]

Is it the real one? Who's to know? Adam, who's your pick to win the inaugural Major League Hockey SuperDuper Real Trophy? That is a good question. Could it be Saskatchewan or maybe Iowa? Who's to know? Was that also the end of the period? Yes. I will be running a clip from the to feed today. I'm just going through some of the chat, guys. Kyuga, the New York Jets are going to have the most primetime games this season. That alone tells you it's going to be crap. Well, but it's the Aaron Rodgers effect, right? It makes sense, especially if he can play more than a snap because it's a snap because he snapped. All-star Danny Heatley. Is that the real one? Is that the real one? Is that Danny Healey, 50 and 07? Adam, I totally understand your complaints about the Neil Young show. That being said, I'd pay an unspeakable amount of money to see Cortez, the Killer Live. Well, great thing is you can go see Neil Young. He's opening with it. He's playing it a lot. If you look at his setlist, he's playing that song a lot. So you can rip on.

[00:49:23]

My Patriots don't play on Monday night football this year, so I can do Monday night hockey with Gripper Nation and Adam Wild. Well, Justin, I'm thrilled. Detroit Lion fans fan here was a fan when they were 0 and 16. They had some dark days. Yes, sir, they did. Rocky, good on you, man. Detroit Lion fans reminded me of Arizona fans, except that they were more broken than Arizona fans because they never won. Steve Nangle's Mighty Roar, who's Hyped for Giants and Panthers in Germany? Man, German sports, German fans are bananas. I don't know how many Bundesliga games you've ever watched. Every time I get the chance, I'll put it on because I think Sportsnetz got it on on the weekends. They're crazy. They're crazy. Don't care much for the NFL, so I'll be here. Well, Skyler, I'm thrilled about that. Aaron Rodgers out again after three snaps, out again. Poor Jets can't have nice things. It's true, Richard. I say this as a fan who wants the best for Sdpn. Let's have a fun, wacky Wednesday stream or something. Maximize the growth or engagement for the algorithm. But these streams get like these streams, but get 17 games a year.

[00:50:46]

The thing about that is the NHL is building Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday as their big national nights. It was supposed to be Saturday, Sunday, And in Canada, they did like hometown hockey, stuff like that. It didn't work out that well because of the NFL. So Saturday, Monday, Wednesday seem to be the national nights. Now, I could do Wednesdays. I could do Wednesdays. I just thought Mondays would be cool because people are bored on Mondays. All right, so here's what we're going to do. I'm going to make a little coffee for myself, and we're going to run a little clip. And if you were watching yesterday's game, I'm sure you're aware that Jacob Truby might have thrown an elbow, and it wasn't a major penalty. The question is, should it have been? We got into it today on the SDP. This Truba Rodriguez elbow. It's interesting because I love watching the discourse afterwards. Jesse, do you need me to send you a link on that? No. Okay, cool. You'll pull it up.

[00:51:55]

Imagine Jake Truby horizontal, elbowing someone.

[00:51:59]

Look at Now, people will argue that that elbow... So first off, that's not a major penalty.

[00:52:05]

They call it two minutes.

[00:52:07]

And people will say, Well, the point of contact is his shoulder back. No, it's not. But it's still a flying elbow.

[00:52:14]

No, there you go. There you go. So the winning angle is the other one where you see... If Rodriguez was a boxer, you would see his head move like Jello and his sweat stay where it was. You ever see those shots where someone gets punched in the head so hard that their sweat stays stationary, but their head goes flying? Yes. Yeah. That's exactly what would have happened there. Can't believe Truba stayed in the game. Can't believe Rodriguez stayed in the game. Look at that. Principal point of contact is the frigging fudge right in the jaw. Right between the jaw and the ear. Dude, it's really bad.

[00:52:59]

So In absence of the NHL explaining the rules, we have to go with people that used to work at the NHL. Okay? Who's this? This is Tim Peel.

[00:53:13]

Oh, I wonder if he agreed with the call.

[00:53:15]

He did. Yeah, fuck. He says that Rodriguez embellishes, too.

[00:53:21]

I think that's true. What? No, he got a little bit. A little bit? He got up and he was fine. He kept staying the rest of the game.

[00:53:32]

Jesse Blake.

[00:53:33]

Yeah, a little bit.

[00:53:37]

I can't tell if you're taking the piss right now.

[00:53:39]

I genuinely-No, no. He goes down hard. He definitely sells it. I'm not saying what Truba... Everything about Truba is true, but you can also say that Rodriguez sells it a little. I think it's similar to how when Reinhardt went down, he was shot and they stopped the play. Yes. I think that was also ridiculous.

[00:53:57]

Well, that was dumb.

[00:53:58]

Yeah, I played Ed because a player's uncomfortable is not happy.

[00:54:00]

I think Steve, you say this all the time. When you get hit, go down like you're shot because it's more likely the referees will call it. I think Rodriguez definitely goes down and he stays there, but then he gets up and he's fine and he's still in the game. They take him out like...

[00:54:17]

Look at him.

[00:54:19]

He's a little dramatic with it is all I'm saying.

[00:54:21]

Nice shirt, Jessie. Rancher's Jersey in the wash or what?

[00:54:25]

No, it's a SDPN shirt. I just thought I'd throw it on today.

[00:54:28]

Laundry Day?

[00:54:29]

Laundry Day at the play case? I think Rodriguez goes down like it's the worst thing that's ever happened to him.

[00:54:35]

His head moves like a bowl of Jello. His head moves like a bowl of Jello.

[00:54:40]

I think both things can be true. I think what's What Truba did was horrendous, and you got to put down your chicken wing and stop going up in his heads. But also, Rodriguez is like a rag doll.

[00:54:55]

Here's the deal. It would have been a major penalty had he beaned him. He He did. If he beaned him, no. But if he beaned him- He missed them.

[00:55:03]

He missed them. He missed them 100%.

[00:55:04]

If he bean them, there's no debate. So what's interesting about that is it speaks to how we call the game. We call the game based on the outcome, not the action.

[00:55:14]

That's why you got That's not how you're supposed to call it. That's why I'm embellishing nothing. Pretend like you're dead. His problem was skating off on his own power. He should have got stretchered off. Stretchered off and then wind sprints around 30 seconds later like a soccer player. It Just get the call.

[00:55:31]

Right.

[00:55:31]

Get the call.

[00:55:32]

Now, I want to remind everybody that for an elbow he connected on in the Tampa series, Michael Bunting was given a match penalty in a three-game suspension. Yeah, because- So this is what I'm saying. If you guys want me to, I can pull it up for you.

[00:55:48]

Oh, my God. I tell you what.

[00:55:50]

I tell you what. Because he connected, though. That's my point. Truba doesn't connect here.

[00:55:55]

All those emails that we saw from that court document about Mark Savard and Gregory Campbell from Colin Campbell, all those emails that came out because they got subpoenaed from a court case, they better have never put Michael Bunting's name down.

[00:56:16]

Oh, I think they have- In a text, message, or email. What's that, man? What's that?

[00:56:19]

Oh, my God. You cannot tell me, based on the way he was called in Carolina and in Pittsburgh, they were not intentionally fucking that young man. Horrible, miserable. Now, here's the reason for not calling that a five-minute major. We're averaging a decision from the Department of Player Safety once per round. There was a fine to Michael McCarron. Yeah.

[00:56:51]

There was a fine-It was a hit on to Smith, right? Yeah.

[00:56:53]

There was a fine to Nikita Zdorow, and there was a suspension to Carson Sussi. Murder is on the menu in these playoffs. So I was asked last round, Is this the worst it's been? And I said, No. I'm willing to consider changing my answer. It's not just the in-game penalties. They're still calling penalties for stuff. They're completely asleep at the wheel here. Jacob Truba is in... He's It's like the NHL Schrödinger scumbag. He's a guy who always does suspendable things and never gets suspended.

[00:57:41]

So you talk about-In February, Jacob Truba was suspended for a play that was not called the Penalty on the Ice.

[00:57:48]

That's right.

[00:57:49]

Which is hilarious. It was elbowing, and he got suspended for the elbow to the head, and on the ice at the time, no penalty was called. Yeah.

[00:57:58]

So producer Drew had a really fun stat yesterday on the stream. He goes, Steve, when was Jacob Truba's last elbowing penalty?

[00:58:08]

It was Sportsnet stats. I sent it to him.

[00:58:10]

Oh, well, there you go. So Sportsnet stats, posted the stat that Jesse saw, and It was sent to Drew, and then he gave it to me, and then I said it. That's how you get your information. Anyway, producer Drew, he said his last penalty was, I believe, May of 2022.

[00:58:30]

I'll pull it up.

[00:58:31]

It was at least one calendar year ago.

[00:58:33]

It might have been 2023. Sports are not stats. This is Jacob Truba's first elbowing penalty since May 11th, 2022, versus the Pittsburgh Penguins.

[00:58:43]

So two playoffs ago. Did they credit Drew for that, by the way?

[00:58:46]

They wrote, producer Drew says this. Okay, good.

[00:58:51]

That is two years. Are you kidding? The one he was suspended for, he wasn't called for, so it doesn't show up in the stat. That's so funny. I know rangers fans are going to get upset at this. There better be equity in the bank for me because how many times has Jacob Truba done something? I've been like, You're overreacting. I've said it a bunch of times. But no, there's no equity in the bank of Goodwill.

[00:59:25]

@taylorhossipgh on Twitter, put together a supercut of Jacob Truba Elbow.

[00:59:31]

That's amazing.

[00:59:32]

Do you want to see a couple of them?

[00:59:34]

By the way, quote of the night last night was Kevin BX is saying, I didn't think it was an elbow.

[00:59:42]

Truba, Elboy. Here's one shot.

[00:59:45]

Oh, man. If you're with Jesse, he didn't connect, man.

[00:59:48]

He does not connect. So it's not a penalty. For anybody listening, it's Truba going against the hurricanes. Holy shit. This is the one where he leaps into the board, the side angle. The Nietzsche's one. The Nietzsche's one where he doesn't connect. And then we got one against Pittsburgh here. Oh, that's great. This is on Sydney Crosby. He is going right to Crosby's head. He does connect there. Did he get a penalty on that? Maybe this is the one from 2022.

[01:00:14]

That's a John Jones elbow Oh, Jesus.

[01:00:16]

Truba, there's his next history. And then the next one, it's Truba when he's with Winnipeg. He's hitting somebody on St. Louis. Is that Ron? I can't.

[01:00:27]

Pen? No.

[01:00:28]

Troy Brower?

[01:00:29]

Oh, he's Brower. Is that a Brower play? I don't know.

[01:00:32]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. He gets that Brouwer play.

[01:00:34]

Yeah. So he's going at Brouwer right in his face. Big chicken wing elbow.

[01:00:39]

No, Jessie. It's a forearm.

[01:00:41]

That's Jacob Chuba. And then once again, back with New York. On Andre Polak. On Andre Palat, giant-Oh, my God. He tries to decapitate this man. Adam, this is your boy, Andre Palat.

[01:00:54]

Yeah. Look at this.

[01:00:55]

Holy shit.

[01:00:57]

In true Andre Palat style, he missed because Andre is too slippery for that.

[01:01:01]

Okay, I understand the argument of-You have to connect, Steve. What Biaxa was saying is you try to hit with the forearm. I understand that. Hold on, but why? He's leading with the point of his elbow.

[01:01:13]

And then One more because we're not done. On Zabina Jad? No. Trooba. Dumbass. I think that's the Dawn off. I'm trying to read the back of the jersey. It looks like the Dawn off. I can't see it, but Trouba's up there, and there's the elbow. It's a bad one.

[01:01:32]

Either Doudonov or Dora Feev.

[01:01:34]

Dora Feev would make more sense. There you go. Just huge elbow from behind off of the face-off draw. Yeah, Jacob Trouba loves to throw it in the open.

[01:01:46]

Except that one is Shoulder, I guess. That one is the one where I'm like, Oh, he only Shoulder checked him in the head. No, I was surprised. But you know what?

[01:01:58]

No one does anything about No one does shit to Jake Truba. He would stop doing this if somebody did something. All right, let's go, baby. Let's go. We're back. We're getting ready for second period. And Angel Hernandez, the worst ump in MLV history, is retiring after 30 years. And some are saying it's the best call and the only call he's gotten right over the last couple of decades. Congratulations, baseball fans. You don't need to to watch. You don't need to watch him anymore. Apparently, that announcement is coming tomorrow. So what do we think of that Truba clip? Jesse is for sure a Truba apologist. Let me just throw that out there. Steve Dangle, just here for Steve being right. Well, you know. Cassie, you don't need to know. Welcome to SDP VIP. Cassie, welcome. Did you finally sign up? You should sign up for SDP VIP because it's a lot of fun. We recorded our VIP episode today. It should be out a little later this week, but they are wicked because they are a throwback a little bit to what we used to do, which was the first hour of our show always used to be hockey.

[01:03:06]

The second hour used to be just whatever goofy shit I found on the internet that I thought Steve and Jessie might want to talk about. And now it's a whole episode of it. They are a lot of fun. In this week's episode, we're talking about those Toronto jerseys, the Blue Jays ones, what do they call them? The City Connect jerseys. They leaked today. And And we're not going to know for sure until Thursday that those are the jerseys, but they're probably the jerseys, and they're not great. Cassie, you don't need to know. Gifted 10 memberships. Cassie, what's up? Thank you. And by the way, if you just got a VIP membership, please thank Cassie. Dave Glatz says, Cassie is a legend. Dave is a new VIP, it seems. Trent Frederick is going to do something to Truba next season. See, Justin, people say that, but then I go like, Oh, nobody likes Big true, but nobody does anything. Oh, you don't like it? Do something. These guys don't do anything. You know why? Because he's crazy. He'll kill you. They're all afraid of him. Also, I made this coffee, CJ Show mug, available at the Sdpn shop.

[01:04:17]

Just throwing that out there. It's a little too hot. It's a little too hot. Not going to lie. Not going to lie. Nick Jenkins, all the city connects are horrible. We actually did a whole chat about jerseys like that and some of the best and worst and why they continue to do it. Oh, Dave Glatz. I'm not a new member, but Cassie is still a legend. Cassie is a legend. Cassie is here every damn show. Shout out, Cassie. It's great. I'm starting to recognize some of your names like Dee Dee Weiss. I know you've been here a lot. Hot take, 90% of alternate jerseys suck. The only ones that are cool that are throwbacks call me old, but I'm in favor of a two-jersey system. Davin, I'm with you. I'm a three-jersey system guy. And by the way, for most of the last 30 years, teams have had an alternate jersey, like a third jersey. The thing is, what I find annoying is they take nicknames that aren't real and then apply them. For instance, like Cleveland, they call themselves the land. No one in Cleveland says, Oh, yeah, welcome to the land. No. You'd have a better chance of somebody calling it the Cleve.

[01:05:39]

Seriously. Did my stream cut out? No, it's not. Okay, good. Anyway, it's just silly. It's silly, and I think people are tired of it. By the way, we're 1912, end of the second period. Adam, I have to agree with you about those stars jerseys that glow in the dark. I really hate those. See what I mean? Yeah, they're not great. Those Dallas stars could have one of the worst logos in the league. It's crazy because their '90s jerseys were pretty cool. I love the old North Star's jerseys. Love. Yeah, I think Dallas needs a rebrand, not stars-wise. Because here's the thing, a star is such a cool thing to have as your moniker, as your brand. And their big Jersey is a star with a D in the middle. Why? You. Brother, you. You, what is it? You. You know what I mean? No, thanks. La King's helmets are brutal. Man, I love the shiny helmets. You know what? La used to have purple helmets back in the day, okay? Nobody complained about those, the purple and gold. I'm one of those weirdos that thinks the King should go back to a time when they were owned by the Lakers and have the same color as the Lakers.

[01:07:02]

Black and white is fine, but purple and that goldish yellow color, that's LA, baby. And you're the king's. Royal purple is a part of it. That's Roman Empire shit, man. By the way, Dallas has quickly got a couple of shots in this period, which is pretty good. I mean, they're going to need to play a lot better than they did in the first. It's interesting how they keep adjusting the shot clock, because when we got to the end of the last period, Edmonton was out shooting Dallas. Another good save by Skinner. Ten to five. We got to the last period, Edmonton was out shooting Dallas, 15 to 2, and now they're down to 10 shots. I don't know why they needed to adjust that, but I guess they really did. Did you invite all the reps to Grip or Nation? They seem to have a tight grip on the pocket during face offs. Tim. Tim. Is that because they keep doing the fake drop thing? Good little save by Skinner there. That's the first chaos that Dallas has created. Look at that. They're right back into it. The stars are back into this game in this period.

[01:08:13]

They're going to have to score. They're going to have to score. They got to score. According to Pleaning the elder, thousands of snails were needed to produce just one ounce of purple dye. It was outrageously expensive in ancient Rome to have Purple Die. Outrageous. Which is why only emperors were allowed to wear it. Rumor has that LA is branding, but they're going back to the Gretsky era. Basically, they'll create a home version of their third logo. I don't hate it. I've never minded LA's logo. I just thought it was boring. I like the '90s LA King's logo. Obviously, Marcel Dion era is my favorite LA King's jersey, but I like color. I'm tired of all these black and white jerseys, and I say that as a proud owner of the Justin B. Relief's jersey. Adam Beauchance or Andrew Beauchance. Hey, Adam. Hey, Andrew. The LA Burger King jersey from Let's Be Real, they just brought that up. That is the ugliest jersey of all time, and I cannot believe they allowed Gretsky to put that on. That's probably when he asked for a trade. That's probably when he was like, Screw this. I got to get out of LA.

[01:09:36]

Put me in St. Louis. That's where I want to be. Brycesepticon just tuned in, but did you hear about Angel Hernandez? Yes, I did, Bryce Septicon. I was talking about it at the beginning of the period. Thrilled. Thrilled. Apparently... Oh, Carson, did I miss you? I missed your super chat here. Sorry, Carson. Carson, Vegas, Boston, and LA have parts of their jerseys that look like they glitter, and I hate them. See, I don't mind a little glitter. I don't mind a little pizazz, especially with an LA team. La is flash and pizazz. It should be, right? New York can be a little flash and pizazz, too. You got to think Broadway. You know spirit fingers. Get your spirit fingers going. Shots are now 10 all. Dallas is really dominating right now. Edmonton cannot get a lot going. Edmondson has been outshot seven, nothing in this period, ladies and gentlemen. Ners saving it with his booty. He does that. The Dallas stars should do a ZZ Top themed Jersey, Beards and all. I like that. That'd be fun. The Red Wings should have glitter on their Jersey because their fan base is also the Kiss army.

[01:10:59]

That's right. Detroit Rocks Rock City. Let's go. Get up. Everybody's going to leave their seat. Get down. Everybody's going to move their feet. You got to lose your mind to Detroit Rock City. I believe that's the official national anthem of Detroit. Or something by M&M. 14:45 left in the second period. This is the first time I believe Edmondson's even gotten close to Dallas's net, and Dallas are right back into the Edmondson zone. Whatever Pete DeBore said to the stars in in the first intermission, it must have pealed pain off the wall because they have come out firing. And they score. Jason Robertson, no doubter. What a goal. Wow. We're going to take a look at this. It just goes through Stuart Skinner's pads. This is just a great goal by a goal scorer who knows what he's doing. And he almost had one in game two as well. I think it went off the post. I'm sorry, game one, actually. Game one, it went off the post. See? So there's Hints. Boom. I bet he's happy to have Rupe back. That is a great shot. Mcdavid does not tie him up. I don't even put that on McDavid.

[01:12:17]

I just put that on Robertson being a really good goal scorer. Dallas are now officially out shooting the Edmondson Oilers, which honestly, if you're watching the first period, you're probably like, damn, I didn't even think that was going to be possible. Dallas came into this period five minutes and 35 seconds ago, and they had three shots. They now have 11. I'm telling you, Pete DeBore gave him something. Maybe like that Michael Jordan water from Looney tunes from the Space Jam. I told you, my head is a mess tonight. Matthew, Angel Hernández is retiring. Did I get duped or is that real? That is apparently what's going to happen tomorrow, Matthew. Angel Hernández, no longer You're a ref. Up tomorrow. I have to be honest, the last game he called was so egregious. I'm sure the MLB is just saying, Please go away. Tim Roby show, Can a team switch jerseys during the intermission, like in D2, the Mighty Ducks? Always wonder that it was allowed or not. I don't think it is, but I don't know. I think it's because very likely teams... I know that teams agree on if they're using third jerseys and they're too similar, the teams will...

[01:13:34]

Let's say it's the least third jersey and they're playing Boston. You can't have the least third jersey, which is predominantly black, and the Boston's, Boston home jersey, which is predominantly black, taking the ice at the same time. It's confusing to watch on television, right? So what they would do is the least would say, We're rolling into Boston and we want to wear our third jersey. So Shani would call somebody from Boston management be like, Guys, can you wear your YTS tonight, or are you agreeable to wearing your YTS tonight? And you have to stay on brand for that. The teams usually sort that out between themselves, which is cool. The Edmondson Oilers, this is important, and I'm going to go back to this because producer Hayden, stats God. Ripper Nation God. Basically, oh, yeah, here it is. The Oilers have not lost two in a row this entire postseason. Last postseason, they only lost once back to back. We're looking for the oilers who are 4-0 coming off a loss this postseason to win this game. So far, so good. However, I wouldn't say the last five minutes have gone that well. Steve Dangle asked me to 10 minutes ago.

[01:15:04]

I'm looking at my text messages. He said, I want you to shout out Cassie again. She somehow just got a membership. Meanwhile, she's gifted hundreds throughout the playoff to other people. Cassie, thank you. It really does mean a whole lot to us, and I just hope you know how special that makes us feel. I do really want to say I appreciate it. Chris L, tons of great socks, Jays, and Oilers jerseys at the White Sox game today. Really? At At least 10,000 Jay's fans were there and talked to people from all over the GTA. Hey, that's cool. Jay's fans do travel, and Chicago is such an easy spot to get to from Toronto. It's such a great city. I've never been, but all I heard is how great it is. I'm dying to do a Mafia tour there. A city with history like that. I love Mafia documentaries. Old Chicago, baby. Talk to me. That's dirty. I would do that over a beach vacation. That's I love that stuff. Plus, Chicago has some of my favorite architecture, a ton of Art Deco. Are you a nerd? Well, welcome to my stream where we talk about architecture, history, and the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas stars.

[01:16:14]

John Gibson in the super chat. Is that John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks? It doesn't matter. Raise a toast to Angel Hernandez, Leaving Base. Guys, throw John Gibson a like. We all got to like this. This is good for sport. Adam, do you prefer white or dark jerseys as home or away? I always thought it was strange that teams who are predominantly one color have to wear... When I was growing up, the least wore white at home. And I always thought that was weird because their predominant color is blue. And so, oh, baby, Dallas is pushing for that. They want that next goal. I I just thought it was weird that you couldn't wear the jersey of your colors at home. So I'm actually a dark jersey at home, light jersey on the road person. And I know that there are a lot of people who disagree with me on that, but I don't think your predominant color should be hidden away from your home fans. I think you should be wearing the colorful jerseys at home and let the other team be whited out by theirs. Kevin Peters. Adam, Jack Kent-Cook, who's the chipsgate owner of the LA Kings and LA Lakers for a long time, called the King's Purple Unis Forum Blue.

[01:17:42]

Well, they weren't blue, they were purple. But Jack Kent-Cook was known as a big meanie meanie. And Jack Kent-Cook actually owned, I don't know if you know this, own the Toronto Maple Leaves. Oh, here we go. Robertson. Oh, and he scores. I'll continue that story in a second because I just fooled you. Jason Robertson again, baby. Let's go. Wow. Damn. How much did the stars miss Rupe? Come on. Hints his back, baby. That's Robertson's second career to a goal game. Nice little shot by... So that's started by Robertson, then he gets in there and basically collects his own rebound. That That's like a basketball move. What do they always do? They tell you to shoot and then go get your rebound, charge for the rebound. Beautiful. Man, this line has looked real good for Dallas. And all of a sudden, a game that looked very much in Emerson's favor, very much like the stars had a wall to climb in eight minutes. The stars have erased that lead. They have had 11 shots, and the oilers have had none since the period started. The fans are sitting down, less excited. So by the way, I want to tell you about this.

[01:19:05]

This LA Kings guy, Jack Kent Cook, owned the Kings, owned the Lakers, owned the Toronto Maple Lefs, baseball team. Yes, that's right. To this day, there is a Toronto Maple Leifs baseball team. I believe the International League or whatever league they're in. And Jack Kent Cook was the owner and a noted a-hole. And a Canadian guy from Toronto, a Canadian guy actually owned the Lakers. How about that? And you know why he sold them? Because he was getting a divorce and his wife was cooking them. And so he hung on to the Kings. No, he didn't hang on to the Kings. He actually sold the Kings to the family that owns the Lakers. And then midway through the '80s, they sold the Lakers to, I believe, Peter Poughlin, or the Kings, is what I'm saying. I tried to say it last game, but this is why the stars fans consider Rupehence, our most important forward. Burps McGurps, sir, you are correct. Also, we got some other super chats here that, for whatever reason, my Alexa... Not Alexa. My non-Alexa wants to chat right now. Siri. Please stop, Siri. Not right now. Dave Glatz, Cassie is the best person ever, and I don't even know her.

[01:20:20]

I agree, Dave. I agree. Mki Sports, that's right. Jerry Buss. Jerry Buss, the legendary Jerry Buss. Thank God, Jerry Buss. Dr. Jerry BUS. Bought the Lakers. I don't know if you guys saw the show Showtime on HBO. Freaking amazing. It's too bad they didn't continue it because it was an amazing series, and they were wrong to cancel it. And I read the book, and I read that this time. Oh, my God. The Dallas stars have taken the lead. The Wyatt Johnson steak open line. Does it work? My goodness. Is that Thomas Harley? Is that Thomas Harley scoring a goal? No, it's not. It's Wyatt Johnson. 55 or 53, I couldn't tell. Wow. It's a sad arena now. Jamie Ben with a great forecheck there. Nicely done. Stankoven makes sure that that puck gets to Johnson. That is, he takes two Edmonton defense, and nobody has Wyatt Johnson. Damn. Wow. Who knew going into this period? If I had told you, I think Dallas will shoot 12 times in the next 10 minutes, and Edmonton will not have a lead by halfway through this period, you would have told me I was crazy. We got a game, ladies and gentlemen.

[01:21:45]

Now it's on the Edmonton Oilers to respond. I mean, it was really on them to respond after the first goal, but now they really actually have to because there's only 10 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game. We are halfway through. Dallas has 12 shots this period. The Oilers have zero shots this period. Bonkers, guys. Bonkers. Wow. I like the poll that was just put up. Halfway Mark, who is winning? Oilers, L-O-L, or stars? Holy moly. I'm going to go with stars right now because of this luck I'm going to go. That guy from Canada, Adam, which Leifs team that made the conference finals, had the best chance to win the Cup? '93, '94, '99 or '02. '93 was a really special team. The issue is that if you look at how LA did against Montreal, it wasn't good. But I actually do think, and that Montreal team was stacked with superstars. Toronto would have been an underdog in that series, no question. It's a real shame that the Leaps didn't go because a Toronto-Montreal series would have been incredible. I would say the '93 team or the '02 team. And the problem with the '02 team was, I believe, Sundeen and Neuendijk or whoever the centers were, it's been a while, they were all injured.

[01:23:13]

Our top-line center What is Alan McCauley? Nothing against Alan, but he wasn't supposed to be that guy. So I think that the leaf should have beat the Carolina Hurricanes in that series. And it's a shame that they didn't. That's the best team for my money. Kujo was a better goalie, too. Don't Oh, we got a breakaway. Oh, Marchman, just... He knows he should have buried that. Oh, look at that smile on his face. He knows. He knows. Oh, baby. What a great pass. Oh. Tries to go back in. Oh, man. He went Gunner stall on Stuart Skinner, and Stuart Skinner had him. Wow. Backhand on the glove, baby. By the way, I hope you all got the Gunner stall reference. If you didn't, I'm really upset and disappointed. But I'll tell you to watch D2, Mighty Ducks. Boston Steve. Skinner is weak. Whoa, there's a Boston Steve? Dallas winning in the MLB, NHL, and NBA this year. Cameron, you might not be wrong. They might be the new Boston. The stars have three goals since I joined the stream, L-O-L. Cassie, oilers fans in the stream are not going to love you after this. Now that you've told us, you're absolutely right.

[01:24:45]

That did happen. Rupehints his impact on that line is unbelievable from burps McGurps. True. 93 Leaves team had Darren Pupo. That's an elite name. It is. If you're a stars fan, this is one of the best periods of your playoffs. This is spectacular for the Oilers. Sometimes you wonder, they looked so good in the first period. This was so weird about hockey. How is it that the team that looked that good half Half an hour ago, 40 minutes ago, they were just cooking. And no, we can't even get a shot 10 minutes into the period? What? How? To everybody joining the chat, yes, we know Angel Hernandez is retiring tomorrow, and that's a good thing. We like that. We're happy about that. By the way, hey, if you can do me a favor, throw this streamalike. And if you can share it with your friends who might want to enjoy a little hockey talk and a little Angel Hernandez laughing session. 17 to 10 are the shots now. That means that Dallas has outshot the oilers in this period through 12 minutes, just about anyway. 14 to nothing. That's roughly two shots every minute. No, two shots every minute.

[01:26:23]

You see where my brain is at? It's not great tonight. It's not sharp. Hints is so underrated. Yes, he is. Is this a leaf-style meltdown for the oilers? Absolutely not. No. Don't insult the oilers like that. The oilers could very much get back into this game. I mean, they're in the game, but could very much turn this around. And by the way, the leafs meltdowns happened only in the third period and only went up by multiple goals. Edmonton is getting it over early because they're going to come back in this game. That's what I think. It's a John Day. Three goals in three minutes and 33 seconds. La cry. It is La sad. Okay, Maybe the oilers get a shot here. They're first of the period. No, not yet. Dallas does a good job. Everybody's back. Jake Ottinger out there pretending like he needs to do stuff. What's Jake Ottinger got to do? They haven't even sent one his way. They could have pulled him. They It could have been six on five this whole period. Wouldn't have mattered. Wow. They're just doing such a great job of stakes and bodies in front of Edmonton rushes.

[01:27:43]

They are taking away the rush chances. That's where McDavid, that line especially, was killing them in the first period. And this is where, we were talking about this earlier, this is where you need Edmonton's depth to step up. Here we go. Nice little shot. You need depth scoring now because the stars are locking down the top two lines of the oilers. They really haven't been a factor in this. And you need a trade deadline acquisition like Adam Henrique to come in and give them a little bit of magic. All right. Here we go. 7:06 left. I was just looking at some stats. Don't worry. Every time I stop talking, people are like, Did you have a stroke? No. No, I did not. Mcdavid has done nothing in these playoffs. Okay, can we just stop that for a second? I just want to read McDavid's stats, not just tonight. Mcdavid's in his 15th game. He has two points already tonight. He has 25 points in 15 games in in the playoffs. Come on, guys. Wait, next, you're going to tell me, Oh, he's an assist merchant. Yeah, man. He's an elite playmaker. Yeah. He can do it by himself, though.

[01:29:31]

Like, tonight, it'd be nice if the dry side of the line got something going. Love to see Evander Kate. Oh, do we have a penalty here or did it hit the glass? 6 minutes and 15 seconds left. Man, this second period has blown by Hey, there's a thousand people here. We've eclipsed a thousand on a Monday night. How about that, baby? Let's go. Welcome, everybody, who's new. Happy Aaron Hernández celebration, Eve, because it's going tomorrow. He's retiring from the game of baseball. Knux fans would love it if Kelly Sutherland would do the same, but he won't. I don't know if there are any Knux fans left in this. There were Knux fans who were with me the entire first two rounds of the playoffs, and then the oilers eliminated them, and they got Lassad. Oh, my God. The ref just dropped. Linesman just dropped the puck and then whistle it dead. And Leon drysaddle is giving him shit, and he should. Enough. It's the power. Look, now he's going to talk to him. Now he's telling him to calm down. Yo, linesman, drop the puck. Nobody is here to see you. I just got to make sure it's fair.

[01:30:50]

It's an NHL face-off. Nothing's fair. Let's go. We want to watch some hockey. We don't want to watch some sweaty linesman. Bouchard to McDavid. That was a great play by McDavid to set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. The Oilers have not scored a power play goal in this series, which is bonkers when you think about it, because their power play was humming around 36, 37%, which is... Oh, we got a turnover. Oh, Nugent misses the net. Driesidal takes a swing at it. Nothing going. Mcdavid down deep to Driesidal. Hyman using his glutes in there. But Power by Hyman. Nuj and Hopkins and Hyman fighting for it. Driesaddle in the corner. Out comes McDavid. Down to Driesaddle. Back to McDavid. Give and go. No. Stars break that up. Boy, Edmonton looks good on this power play. This is the most life we've seen from them all period long. They got a couple of shots. Here comes McDavid in deep. Oh, Zack Hyman just whiffs on a backhand on his own rebound. Here comes Evan Bouchard, shot from the point. No. A fake drysaddle from his office, and he has scored many times from that half-board, but did not score there.

[01:32:05]

Evan Bouchard unable to keep the buck in. The oilers will likely send their second power play unit out there unless... Oh, maybe I'm wrong. Sadeen Magic, 15. This Knuck fan is still here with you, bud. I'm here all the way. Oh, I love that. I love that. Thank you. I know there's other super chats here, guys. I will get to them. I promise you. You did not waste your money on me. I I just want to get through the last 20 seconds of this power play. It's been a doosy. This is the best the oilers have looked. If you're looking for this period, anyway, if you're Chris Noblek, you're looking to build on this. Out comes Fogal, Cain, Excuse me. And Henrique. Now that coffee has given me the hiccups. Fantastic. Evander Cain with a shot. Nice rebound. Ceeci can't grab it. Fogel's got it behind the net, And we are back to even strength. But the oilers get three or four shots on that power play. And boy, did they need it. They needed some life, man. They needed some life. Here comes Tyler Sagan. Oh, Darnell Ners just laid him out. Now, I don't know if that was a hit to the head or an elbow or whatever.

[01:33:19]

Darnell just crushed Tyler Sagan. Helmut almost came off, too. Wow. Good little setup. It looks like the oilers have got some life in their If they can get a goal here in the last three and a half minutes, that would be huge for them. Because it erases all the crappiness of this first period or this second period. It's been bad. Burps, McGurps. I tried to say it last game, but this is why the stars fans consider... Oh, I've already read that one. But hey, Rupe, hence, the most important forward on the stars. And Sedine Magic 15, this Knuck fan is still here, bud. I'm with you all the way. I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Adam will not miss a super chat like a pitch on the corner by Angel Hernández. Did you know he was retiring? Yes, Richard, we've been talking about that. Been a lot of people coming into this chat thrilled about Angel Hernandez. Hey, Adam, did you start using Ignite to watch your games? I did. I'm using the family password for Shaw Ignite because my family were on Shaw. And so my father-in-law, Robbie, gave me the password. And now I'm watching the game in time.

[01:34:26]

And apparently, my feed is even ahead of ESPN's feed. Superchat just above the. Where did I miss? Where did I miss? Jared Brucell. Not a foot-related question. Well, Jared, I don't think we take those questions. Gripper Nation all the way. No, I'm kidding. I have recently bought a new pair of skates. So it is a gripper nation question. Gripper nation, get ready. Let's lay in here. I recently bought a new pair of skates for my son, but he keeps complaining they are hurting his feet. Any suggestions? So I had this every year. I don't know how old son is, so this might be difficult to pull off. If he's anything like my daughter's age, almost impossible. But usually the best thing you can do is with certain high-end skates, you can get them baked where they heat them up and then mold them to your feet, which makes it a bit better. But sometimes it's the foot adjusting to the boot more than the boot adjusting to the foot. The boot will come along. What I used to do at home when I was a lounge true was I would just sit and watch TV with my skates on.

[01:35:28]

My parents would put down on a piece of cardboard or a garbage bag or something like that. And obviously to have my skate guards on because, again, they were not thrilled with the idea of me wearing my skates in the house. But sometimes if you can put the the the the rubber protectors on the skates and walk around in them. It does hurt your feet, but your feet are going to have to get used to it because you're part of the reason your feet hurt so much in a skate is that the muscles are not used to being constricted in that way. So when you're pushing off, you're not used to using the muscles in that way. And look at that, the Green Man and Dark Guy. That's the Boston Pizza promo, by the way. The Green Man and Dark Guy are in the building tonight. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's a part of the Boston Pizza promo. Yeah, so I would say that part of it is your son's feet are going to have to get readjusted to having skates The other thing I can think of is some people, later on in life, stop wearing socks in their...

[01:36:38]

Sorry, stop wearing socks. Stop wearing socks in their skates. I don't know if your son's at that age, but a lot of guys don't like to wear socks in their skates because the fabric in between the heel and the leather tends to rub, and it creates really bad blistering, especially when it gets wet. However, if If you do it without a sock on, you will get blistered. It's guaranteed. But then your heel, it basically becomes like sandpaper. So I hope I didn't answer that for too long, but it's pretty wild. Was that an imposter dark guy? No, that was real dark guy. That's part of the Boston Pizza promo this year is they've got the Green Men, they got dark guy, and they got a couple of other people from Canadian cities. And the whole idea is you go and you cheer for Canada to get a cup. I honestly think that's pretty cool that Boston Pizza did not pay for that and got on the broadcast. Good for them. That's a good promo, man. That's good marketing. A plus. Producer Hayden just sent me something. Oh, no, my goodness. I can't even look at it right now.

[01:37:59]

Wow. Okay, who's hurt on Edmondson there? Is that Hyman? Oh, baby. He looks stung. Man. So I guess that was a Bouchard shot that hit Hyman, that couldn't have felt good. Man, there's nothing worse than a nice clean slap shot off your skate. Oh. Pain, maybe pain. By the way, big shout out to everybody. Jared Brucell, I don't have a son. This is a trick question. I have used on Steve and Jessie, and now get you talking about feet without thinking about it, L-O-L. Yo, Jared, that's good. See, I told... But I did call you out on it. I did say it was a Gripper Nation question. Just saying. They even got on TNT. Definitely confused some fans in the States. Good for Boston Pizza. That's cool. Cal Morrell, hung out with Darkie. Darkie has always been super nice to us. Super, super nice. Nothing but good things to say about that guy. Here's Darnell Nurse with the Puck. Oiler is pressing a little bit at the end of this period. I can't imagine that they're going to enjoy what Chris Noblek has to say about them when they get into that dressing room and the doors are closed.

[01:39:16]

So you might as well put on a really good performance in the last few minutes to try to blunt that a little bit and start to build on something. Dave Glatz, can you miss more super chats. I haven't missed any super chats. Hayden, make sure I don't. Also, Justin Fisher sends me that. All right. Cassie with no E. Guys, I got to go back to work. Have fun. Well, Cassie, I don't know what you were doing for work tonight, but I hope that you enjoy it. I hope that you enjoy it. I have seen Green Man at Canucks game, but not at the Oilers games. Yes, the Green Man are Knux fans. But again, we're trying to get the cup back to Canada with Boston Pizza, so they want to have fans from all over Canada supporting the Edmonton Oilers tonight. I know there's a lot of fans who would rather puke than do that, but I have to tell you, and you know, I'm a diehard lead fan. I would love to see a Canadian cup. I would I can't lie. I wanted to be the leafs, but you can't have everything you want in life.

[01:40:40]

Oh, and the oiler score. Wow. Wow. Wow. Edmondson Oilers, baby. Ice district. Fire it up. See? What did I tell you? And it's Adam Henrique. I called that, Justin. I called that. Justin, I want you to know I called that. I told you they needed depth scoring. That was also one of my calls to score tonight. Adam Henrique scores, baby. Wow, good shot. By the way, does anybody celebrate harder than Connor Brown? He's so excited. What a play. Cassie, you don't need to know. Cheers for the shout out. Just paying it for. Well, Cassie, you rule. Thank you so much. Guys, give me my praise. Give me my praise. Adam Hendrick with a big goal. And you know what? Chris Noblek's speech is slowly changing in his mind. If he's talking to the players, he's going to go, Guys, I hated that first 10 minutes. In fact, I hated the first 15. But I really like what you did in the last five minutes. So whatever it is you were doing there, do that again and do it for the entire effing period. And don't make me tell you again. We got a three, three game going into the third period unless somebody scores here in the last 20 seconds, We love this.

[01:42:02]

A little bump on Hayes. Here we go. We got two penalties here offsetting. I think one of those is Hyman with the cross check from behind. I didn't see the other one. But if it was Marchman, who we cross-checked, Marchman fell easy. Oh, no. Is it... Oh, was it Oh, it was Hallowe? Oh, I called Hallowell to score not Henry. Well, I'm an idiot. Damn it. Don't give me my praise. Take my praise back. Yeah, Marchman totally dives there. He played dead. He did exactly what Steve Dangle says to do. Act like you're dead. But he for sure dove. That's a dive. Talonsier. One day, Steve Nangle will show us his feet. Gripper Nation stands in stride the world like a colossus with all the naysayers underfoot. Oh, my goodness. What are you, Winston Churchill? Damn. That is a speech. Jared Brucell, I played hockey for 23 years. I have played with guys in the AHL and NHL. I don't need advice on skates. Hey, you asked for it. The other two didn't notice until too late. Oh, that's funny. Mcdiesel, I don't even bug flames fans anymore. They don't even have a team that they would kill for the core four.

[01:43:36]

Yeah, the flames are going to have to... If the flames are intelligent, and I'm not sure that they are, the smart thing to do will be to rebuild and get ready for this new arena. Not a huge fan of the embellishment call there, honestly, and I'm an oilers fan. I don't like cross-checking in the back like that. I think the embellishment call is legit, though. Marchman is a big boy with a pretty strong sense of balance. For him to fall like that after... You see, Hyman, objectively, it is a cross-check. Usually, they don't call those, but I think in this case, it was so out there that they wanted to send a message of, Wait a second, don't cross-check like that, and be, Don't you dare ever embellish like that, because reps don't like being screwed. And when you embellish calls after the game, they find out. They might not know during, but they'll find out during the intermission, and they will not be happy with you. They don't like to be made fool of. And you got to say, Hey, Marchman, can't do that. And I would say, too, Zack Hyman's cross-check there, while not bad, if he had wanted to do it properly in a way that the NHL actually allows, have Marchman come and hit you in the chest because they Where Marchman's back is to Hyman.

[01:45:02]

All Hyman has to do is wait for Marchman to come in on him with his back and then push him off really hard with a stick. You can do that. That's completely legal. You just can't cross-check him. Jared P. I am the superior Jared. I don't know if our other Jared is going to take that. Jared Brucell, are you going to take that? Damn. The embellishment is to keep Noblek happy in the press. No, guys, guys, listen. It was an embellishment. He embellished. He felt too quick. I just don't... You can't get me. And listen, I have been as neutral as it can be on this series. I don't see that as anything else. Absolutely, that should have been called an embellishment. Absolutely, the reps are going to stop that stuff. How could that be an embellishment if he cross-checked him from behind? That doesn't make sense. He didn't see it coming. How could it be a dive? Guys, do you think that Mason Marchman is new? Do you think that his father, Brian Marchman, is new? This is a man who is a born and bred hockey player. You think that he doesn't know where Zack Hyman is?

[01:46:16]

You think he doesn't know what to do when you feel carbon fiber crisscross your spine? He knows exactly what to do, and he did it. And that's okay. You got to sell calls. A lot of times it works. He sold a little too hard that time. Warrior, maybe he's just a tired cant. Or you're going to have to message us again with that one. I know Dallas fans are not happy with me right now, but I'm going to give you my honest opinion. I have to. It was absolutely an embellishment. It's Mason marchman, guys. Stop it. This isn't like a kid who just learned to skate. It's Mason freaking tough guy marchman. Jared Brucell, he is the superior Jared. No, he is the superior Jared. I am the superior Jared. Jared. Oh, because you got two R's in your name. I see. Tnt said that that's Marchman's third embellishment call of the playoffs. He's getting a reputation with the Zebras, and they're looking for it. Guys, true. I didn't know that, actually. But if that's true, listen, we've all been there. We've all had a player that gets on the wrong side of the Zebras, and they start to call everything.

[01:47:40]

You don't want to be the guy in that territory. Michael Bunting was done wrong by so many NHL officials while he was in Toronto. He was done wrong by so many NHL officials in Toronto. And as soon as he left Toronto, they all forgot about it. But he got stupid idiotic calls put his way because he wouldn't shut up and because he kept embellishing and making the refs look likeools. And they don't like to be made to look stupid. It's a respect thing. Now, whether or not you think that that's fair, that's besides the point. That's how it's run right now. So Mace has got to be careful with that. You got to get back on the good side of the refs. Look at Jake Truba. He had that flying elbow last night. The most he got was two minutes. Brad Marshan licked the guy, didn't even get a fine. It's about respect. Direct. Sign some sticks for their kids. That's what these guys... It's what happens. Call wasn't great, but Dallas dives more than a sub. I don't know, Bob. Bob Kaiser says that. I don't know. I don't know. I haven't seen a lot of dives from Dallas.

[01:48:49]

What I have seen is a very clean hockey team. It was interesting when I was talking about it on the show today, I actually thought Noblek made a mistake bringing up the reffing after last game. And the reason I felt that way was because it betrayed frustration that I think Dallas can take advantage of. And I don't think Noblek is going to encourage the refs by making a comment like that to call a different game. The refs would look at him after a comment like that and go, How about you go F yourself? I think I'm doing a perfectly fine job. Anyway, let me do some... Let's run a clip. Here, I'm going to take a quick break. We're going to talk about Barclays Goudro and how Un unbelievably clutch he has been in the playoffs. More clutch than you can even imagine. Have a look. And there is something to be said, and Lee fans know this, about performances in the playoffs.

[01:49:43]

Yep. You know?Cats to Barclay Goodro passing Mitch Marner in career playoff goals.

[01:49:48]

Stop. What did Julian say in the group chat yesterday? 11 to 12. Lee fans constantly... What does he say?

[01:49:54]

Dapping themselves in the chest.

[01:49:55]

Yeah. It was such a funny comment.

[01:49:57]

You know what's funny? It wasn't even that stat. It It was the Kevin Pipetty stat. Sam Reinhardt had more power play goals in the first period of game three than the Leefs had in seven games versus Boston.

[01:50:11]

Jail, all of them jail.

[01:50:13]

Jail immediately He's in jail under the prison jail.

[01:50:16]

Barclay Goudreau is such a weird example of a guy. Clutch, a lot of people like to argue that it doesn't exist, but I'm like, no, humans are humans, and stress matters. Even if you're an elite athlete, It doesn't mean your brain turns off. And there's somebody whose game caters more to the playoffs and the way he's able to play in the playoffs and get just more goals than he's ever scored ever in that part of the year. It's incredible.

[01:50:43]

So I had a tweet yesterday, and it was worded in the strangest way possible. I didn't know how to word it on Twitter. So I'm going to say it now, and you let me know if it confuses you. Barkley Goodrow has six goals in 13 games in these playoffs. Barkley Goodrow also has three seasons where he's played 50 games or more and had six or fewer goals, including this season.

[01:51:11]

Where he had four. Four goals in 80 games.

[01:51:15]

And Rangers fans were like, Get him off our cap sheet. Yeah, they were.

[01:51:19]

He averaged a goal every 20 games. That's so many games.

[01:51:24]

But a great tip. A great tip. He got two.

[01:51:28]

He got half his goal total for the season in game three. After scoring the OT winner in game two. That's dumb.

[01:51:38]

Six goals makes no sense. No. For a guy who scored four. No. But it lends itself to the role that they put him in in the lineup. It makes a lot of sense. The salary doesn't line up. No. We can't just retroactively be like, Oh, that's why you pay him. It's good. No. The salary is still bad, but it's incredible that he has six goals.

[01:51:59]

But I think that there was a history there. You look at the line he was on in Tampa with Blake Coleman. I want to know, what's it going to be like when Blake Coleman gets back in the playoffs? Because Blake Coleman was one of my favorite hockey players. He was good for the players, too. Then he went to Calgary, and He was great for the flames in the playoffs, but the flames have been the flames the last couple of years. That's what I'm saying. He's going into, I think, year four of that six-year deal that he signed. That's a guy I wonder if the flames move on from this summer because they might be in a retool, rebuild position. And some smart team is going to pick him up and go, Well, we might get 50 points from him this regular season, but we're getting him for them.

[01:52:37]

Fifty? He's never had 50 in his career. There you go. Blake Coleman's career high in points is 38. Oh, no, he had 54 this season. Blake Coleman had a 30 goal season?

[01:52:49]

Dude, he was good. Wait, what? Back half, he was really- I was looking at every year besides this year, his career high is this season, 54, 30, and 24.

[01:52:58]

I have no idea.

[01:52:59]

I have a crush on Blake Coleman. What's that? Total man crush on Blake Coleman. I love him.

[01:53:04]

He is gorgeous. Barkley Goodro. Yep. So out of the last 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 years, he's missed the playoffs once. Not counting that year. So just counting years where he made the playoffs because that's obviously where he makes his bread and butter. Out of the last six payoff runs Barclay Goodro has been in, how many times has he been to the conference final? At least conference final.

[01:53:30]

Four? Four.

[01:53:32]

With three different teams.

[01:53:34]

That was a good guess.Unreal.Who was the...

[01:53:36]

It was Tampa.Sharks.Oh.

[01:53:37]

The Sharks.The Sharks.

[01:53:38]

He scored a big OT goal for them as well.I.

[01:53:42]

Think you're right.Yeah. He had two points. Or no, sorry. Yeah, he did. He had two points, both of them goals in 20 games for the Sharks in 2019. So he played 20 games during that run, 25 for Tampa during the COVID bubble, 18 the the next playoff. I think he missed a few games from injury. He still won the Cup. Then nine games, seven games, and 13 games this year. He's in the conference final.Stupe.That's great.Absolutely.

[01:54:11]

Stupid.listen..

[01:54:12]

He's played 94 career Stanley Cup playoff.

[01:54:15]

I will listen to the argument, by the way, that you do overplay regular season performances for performances that really show up in the playoffs, if you can prove it. I think with a guy like that, you can. I don't know how you can say that he isn't. People be like, Well, it's a fluke. Did he really fluke into it? Did he really fluke into it?

[01:54:35]

Lead fans, I got some homework for you because I've been fiddling with the stats, especially over the past year, writing the book and talking about some of the greatest of all time. Go look at... Don't compare the current leaves and their stats to all time. Because it's not going to go well. Compare it to their peers. Go back and just isolate Collate it to 2017 when they first made the playoffs and onward. They're consistently brutal compared to their peers. Everyone else seems to step it up. Now, I'm not saying your goal scoring or your points are going to go up in the playoffs. For the vast majority of players, it goes down because teams are, well, you're only playing against the top half of the league, and then the top quarter, and then the top... They isolate guys. It's harder. It's a war of attrition. But so many guys are incredible playoff performers. Barkley Goodrow's former teammate, Andre Palat. He's played over 100 Stanley Cup playoff.

[01:55:44]

We're just going to name guys who used to play on Tampa.

[01:55:47]

Yes, we should.

[01:55:47]

They seem to have a lot of them. That's the list of guys who are unbelievable playoff performers.

[01:55:53]

I mean, Joe Pavelski is a guy who I'm trying to talk about more and more. I was talking about McDavid the other day and how his legacy isn't going to feel complete until he wins the Stanley Cup. The greatest players of all time in any sport, almost all of them win one.

[01:56:10]

Not all of them, but almost all of them win one.

[01:56:13]

You look at the top, I think it's 13 scores in NHL history. All of them have a cup except one.

[01:56:19]

Pierre Tourdiou.

[01:56:20]

Marcel Dion.

[01:56:22]

Who's the greatest NHL player to never win the Stanley Cup?

[01:56:25]

I mean, it's got to be Dion.

[01:56:27]

Then you're getting into goalies. I would also I will not call Marcel Dion not a winner. You have to remember that LA had exactly one line, and it was a great line, but the rest of the team was total dog shit, and they were owned by a Canadian guy who also owned the Lakers who did not like to spend money.

[01:56:42]

Well, and then it's like you start getting into the conversation of all the guys who never won an NBA Championship exclusively because of Michael Jordan. You know what I mean? That was Hockey's Michael Jordan, it was freaking Wayne Gretsky. Yeah, Joe Pavelski, sorry. People were like, Okay, McDavid's got to win one, whatever. Let's talk about Joe Pavelski. Joe Pavelski, since Crosby entered the league, and Ovechkin entered the league, has more playoff goals than anybody. Anybody. He's the greatest playoff goal scorer of this generation. He's got 74. It's a lot of goals. It's so many frigging goals. And a guy like Dreisael might get there. Mckinnon might get there. You know what you got to go through Pavelski, I think, has... I got to look it up. Whatever. I think it's 100... Off the top of my head, I think it's 196 Stanley Cup playoff games.

[01:57:42]

It's a lot.

[01:57:42]

You know how frigging many runs, and he's never wanted it.

[01:57:48]

How?

[01:57:49]

That doesn't make any sense. I don't remember where the conversation began.

[01:57:53]

Barkley Goudreau. Barkley Goudreau. To jog your memory, we can move the conversation forward after this. But just Because no one probably remembers this because it happened just before the pandemic, about a year earlier. In 2019, the Western Conference final, Vegas Goldenights, San Jose Sharks. The Vegas Goldenights took a three-nothing lead in game number seven against the San Jose Sharks. And then what happened in the third period?

[01:58:22]

Pavelski got injured by Cody Eken. Wait, is that the one? And there Was it a five-minute major? Or I thought that was the first round.

[01:58:33]

Cody Eken took a 10-minute game misconduct, and the San Jose Sharks went to the power play in the third period, and they scored four goals on the power play.

[01:58:47]

It was enormously bullshit. It was a horrible call. Holy shit.

[01:58:51]

But the argument we had at the time was, Don't allow them to score four goals.

[01:58:57]

Who is we? That was Well, no, you're right. It was a horrible call, but yeah, you also are allowed to kill a penalty.

[01:59:05]

You had a 3-0 lead, don't allow them to score four goals. And then Jonathan Marsha so tied it back up and forced it to overtime 4-4, game seven in Barclay Goudreau, opening minutes, overtime, scores and wins game seven for the San Jose Sharks.

[01:59:22]

And then Tampa traded a first for him, and we went, What? And then he won two cups.

[02:00:32]

Oh, are we ready? Oh, hey, we're here. Hey, hey, big shout out to Cassie, who just gave away 20 memberships. Thank you, Cassie. Thank you, Cassie. Mike Furino. I'm pretty sure the embellishment wasn't from the falling, but from laying on the ice afterwards with no attempt to return to play. Well, maybe that's what it was. But either way, Mason Marchman is getting a penalty for that, and he should. He should. But it doesn't mean that it doesn't mean that it doesn't mean Stars fans have to like it. And I understand why you don't. I get it. I get it. So listen, just throwing that out there. How are we doing, guys? I don't know if anybody is in the Toronto, Southern, Ontario, area, but it's been Headache Central, and I have had a brutal headache on and off all the entire stream. It's made my head a little bit cloudy. And I will say this, I feel good now, but I feel like the headache is coming back. So if I get a little wonky in the third period, get wonky with me, will you? John Borisoff, McDavid, might be the most overrated player in NHL history.

[02:01:54]

Well, there's a take. That's a good way to start. There's a good way to start. Let's just make everybody mad in the chat. What's going on? And by the way, since we're coming back to the game, we got Hyman, we got Marchman in the box, and I want to ask you guys, where are you watching from? Let's do our city check-in this evening. Tell me what city you are watching from. I want to know where... We get these worldwide crazy cities. I want to know, Adam, bias is making your head cloudy. That's not an embellishment, except, Joe, it was, because Mason Marchman is in the box. Now tell me, where we got it? Who's watching? Who's watching? And where from? Joe Mama, Adam's Mom's house. That's hilarious, Joe. Listen, just because the refs made a correct call doesn't mean you have to take it out on me. All right, here we go. We got Pittsburgh, we got Montreal, we got Guelff, Oshua, yes. Arizona. We're in Arizona. Arizona is a big place. Halifax, Columbia, Missouri. Really? Vegas, Berkeley, St. Louis, baby. Queens, New York, Hyruel. Screw the Water Temple. You know how much I hate it.

[02:03:10]

I've mentioned it before. Talked about it. Don't like it. Ruthhaven, Ontario. I don't think I've ever been. Portland, Maine. From DeLu as in St. Louis. Fort Erie, Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. Andrew, I'm jealous. The Annapolis Valley is absolutely stunning, and I recommend everybody in this chat at some point in their life to get to the Annapolis Valley. Oh, here we go. Leon dry, settle in. Nice little backhand. Are the oilers, this is four on four for just another minute here. Are the oilers going to establish themselves as the team that they should be or at least were in the first period, or is it the stars saying, You know what? We prefer winning today. We would like to win two games in a row. Now, I should mention, by the way, that the Edmonton oilers are four. That was a little bit bad by Thomas Harley. That was not great. Not a great move. I should mention the oilers are four and 0 coming off a loss this postseason, and they were four and one last year coming off a loss, meaning that they are eight and one in the last two postseasons when they've lost a game.

[02:04:10]

Not bad. Parksville, BC, we got Ocatoques, Alberto. We got Kaliningrad. I still don't even know if I can believe that, John. Kaliningrad, for real? Newpack at Market, Ontario. Thunder Bay, St. John, Prince George, Washington, DC, Canberra, Australia. And I know, Goza, I think you've been here before. Shout out to all my North Carolina folks. I got a Greensboro native here in Dominic. Cassie, the Pirates have the best stadium in baseball, and it's only seen like two playoff games in the last 10 plus years, which is criminal. Hopefully, the new guys help. Cassie, I have been, and you're absolutely right. It is an amazing ballpark with a terrible ownership group, historically. It's crazy. Utah grippers. That's right, baby. You know I know that's what you guys got to vote for. Buffalo, New York, Frasher. Aj, coming in from Dallas, baby. Jeff Wildman from Stoney Creek, Oil City, Edmonton. That's David. Shout out. Ba edits, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Jordan Johnson, Atlanta, and Ethan wants a time check, and I can give you one. It's 17:33, 17:32, 17:30, 17:29. There we go. Jamie Ben with a shot. It goes off Stuart Skinner and high and out. We're getting an offensive zone face-off for the Dallas stars here.

[02:05:32]

We'll see which line they put out, but boy, they have looked good since the start of the first period, since the end of the first period. Edmonton came into the second period, out shooting the Dallas stars 10:00 to 3:00. Dallas went on to shoot 14 clean on the net without a single answer from the Edmonton Oilers, scored three goals in three minutes and 33 seconds, and then Edmondson, towards the end of the period, tied the game up. It was Adam Henrique on a nice little tip-in from Connor Brown. Nice to see Connor Brown as a former Toronto player and a Toronto kid. Do so well. Thrilled for him. Gold Canyon, Arizona, just outside of Mesa. Cool. Arizona is such a cool place. So much great history. Adam, did you see the great one disagreed with you on the embellishment? Got to listen to the great one, no? 19, I didn't see the great one disagree with it. He can be wrong, too. You know what, Gretsky? I am now the great one. So at least when it comes to interpreting the officials, it's me. Matthew. I don't know what Matthew is. Matthew, what is this?

[02:06:51]

London 5, MJW. What is it? Hayden, what is it? Oh, Memorial Cup, Easton Callen with Two assists, baby. London is up two. Oh, okay. Sorry. Matthew, there's a lot of stuff happening there. You got to remember, man, my brain is not working well. And Dallas fans are letting me have it over the embellishment call, as they should. I would do the same. Pacers just got swept. What about hockey in Indianapolis? I mean, if basketball can work. I just don't think it's top of the NHL's list. I think they want to get into Houston. They want to get back into Atlanta. They want to get into the major city centers. I think the Pacers, even though they got a really strong tradition of great basketball, they're not considered a major market. That's not fair at Indianapolis, but they can support a football team. They can support a basketball team. I think that the NHL wants big TV markets like a Houston. They want to get back in Arizona, and they will get back in Arizona. You can guarantee it. Adam is the Gretsky of grippers. You're damn straight. You're damn straight. Steve Dangle's Mighty Roar, You should stream the Celtics-Mabs final.

[02:08:04]

I don't know if I'd be good enough to do a basketball one. It's such a great game. I love basketball, but I don't know quite enough to be able to pull it off, I don't think. Actually, There's many who would say, I don't know enough about hockey to do this, but here we are. 16:46 left in the third period. Adam, anything that gets us into the Indy 500? I mean, it's 500 laps of just insanity. The Indy 500, you need to go and rewatch if you haven't. It's amazing. And there was a last lap pass. Indy car is a very, very underrated sport. You should be watching that if you get the chance. And it's on during the day. You're not missing any hockey when you're watching Indy. St. Louis needs an NBA team. St. Louis needs an NFL team, too. Cassie, later chat, and Adam, I'll be back tomorrow to stress Steve out if I can. Yes. Gripper Nation never forget. Get in there with Steve. Sorry, yes, the Indy 500 is 200 laps, 500 miles. My bad, my bad. Cassie is a bit of a superstar in this chat. Everybody knows Cassie. People are wishing her good night.

[02:09:20]

T. A. Neiman, there's another person that's just coming back time after time. Cira Marlo, yeah, recognize that name. Guys, I'm starting to know you personally. I love I love this. I love this. You're back so much. Vgk Jamensen, I know you. Hank Barber, I know you. John Gibson, I know you. India is a great experience, but Dayton is better. That'd be fun. 16:12 left in the third period. Hi, are you streaming the game or just updating? We can't stream the game directly because we don't own the rights. So we're side-casting. We call this, in the industry, they call this a mega cast. We're mega casting the game. This is a side stream. We're hanging out, having fun, updating the game. 15:54 left. Dallas pressing here. Matt Dushane behind the net. Not a whole lot to speak of in this period, to be honest with you. There's only been a couple of shots. You can tell both teams teams have come out like, We need to establish dominance right away. And both teams can't right now because they're pressing each other. Adam is the great Gripsby. I like that, Belgose. That's nice. I like that a lot.

[02:10:49]

Jesse Blake says, No, they call it a side cast. No, they don't, Jesse. I was in a meeting the other day, and they're like, So you guys mega cast? And I was like, What's a mega cast? And so they proceeded to inform me that now they're being called mega cast. I bet they called them mega cast because they were called side cast before. And then it sounds way cooler to say mega than side because you can't sell a a side cast. It seems lesser than, but you can sell a mega cast. It's not just a cast, it's mega. You have to buy that advertiser. Justin Fisher, it's not Gripper Nation. It's a gripper family. Aaron, plus mega cast sounds cooler. It does sound cooler. Ryan Ditmar What about a gigacast? Yo, an alpha cast? Is there a Chad cast coming? I don't know if I have enough of a jawline for a Chad cast. Can we Chad cast? Grip or hardly know her. Stop it. That's funny. Lipstick attack. That's funny. That's really funny. Jessie Blake, Manga cast. Yo, Jessie would like a Junkuk cast. Jessie's a big Big, big K-pop fan. Ask him. He's got all the dolls.

[02:12:23]

What group was Junkuk in again? I can't remember. Junkuk. He is in the group. What is that? Bts. That's right. He's got all the BTS dolls because we got them on a promo at Virgin Radio once, and Jessie got all of them. It was awesome. Did we give those away, Jessie? Or do you still have them at home somewhere? Because those are got to be worth a lot of money. Bts cast, absolutely. Rizkast, can we get a show? That's what I need to be taken to advertisers. Guys, have you seen the Sdpn Rizkast? No cap on God, for real. That should be the full name. Oh, Jessie, Jimminkast. Oh, we did give away the dolls. Oh, that's too bad. This, Donnie, for Jessie GM series, you should be noted sports agent Adam Walsh and ex. Okay, so I should go on Jessie stream and negotiate on behalf of the players when Jesse does contracts. That's actually a really smart idea. I like that. I don't know if Jesse likes that, but I love that idea. So I'm noted Adam Walsh, and I'm going to come and I'm going to go negotiate. I'm going to say yes or no.

[02:13:48]

If Calgary calls tree living during the offseason, should he just hang up immediately? This is from Tim Roby show. I feel like their unwillingness to deal with him really hurt his plans last season, considering who they had available. I mean, if Calgary calls and you're Brad for living, you don't care. If they call with a good deal, you take the deal. If it works for your team. The problem for Calgary is that I'm pretty sure the Leifs called with a better deal for Zdorow than what the Knux gave. And they were like, No, screw that guy, Treliving, boo, his. Let's trade within the division. And that's what they did. Because I'm pretty sure there was a deal to the Maple Leifs pretty much there. I would love to know if it made it to Maria Edwards' office, and he was just like, I imagine him like a cigar and a high ball just in an office with mahogany eating an Alberta State going, Hey, you see, I'm not going to trade your door off to those guys. Bring me another trade. How about a third and a fifth of Vancouver? That sounds fantastic. Now, build me an arena, peasants, with your own money.

[02:15:02]

That's what I feel. That's what I feel. I don't know, though. Adam Walsh would be awesome on the GM streams. Would have been nice to have Zadaddi in Toronto. Yeah, no kidding. He was great. Shots this period are one-nothing, Edmonton. Good Lord. Yeah, you see? We're nine minutes in. There's just nothing doing. Both teams are just pressing. Are we going to overtime, guys? Is it too early to ask? Are we going to be here a while? We already got to double overtime in this series. Any player joins the Leaps on veteran minimum for eight years. Who? Like any player, McDavid. Oh, what a shot, Vinnie. Your day, Arne, just put it off the post. And now we got two Dallas Stars players away. Oh, it's the Dallas Stars' fourth line there, Kent. It's a bummer. That's too bad. Craig Smith, I think, was going to get away with one there. And it just... Or no, it was Sam Steele that had it. Craig Smith was with him. Excuse me. Ten minutes exactly left in the third period, guys. Doudonov in. Not much happening there. It's been a whole nothing burger. But I bet if you're an oiler fan or if you're a stars fan, you're feeling a little edgy right now.

[02:16:26]

Because really, the next mistake could win the game. And I think teams do this, right? They don't want to be the first team to screw it up. So here's Doudonov. Dushane with a drive. Oh, and what a save by Stuart Skinner. With the right pad. Beauty. Oh, here come the stars again. Oh, Marchman fired it too high. Got a little excited. That was a nice... This one's for Jesse. That was a knee lander shot, if I've ever seen Dushane turns it over again. This Dushane-Marchman-Powelski line providing a little bit of life here for the stars. We got a couple of shots on that one. Lindell, Dushane. Turn it over to McDavid. That's the wrong guy. Maybe not to him. There's Lindell and Hayskinen. So that's what Pete DeBore is stuck with. Had to switch up the Lindell-Tanev thing. It just wasn't working. Okay, we got a TV time out. Let's get into the chat here. I'm going to say double overtime for our opinion poll. Tim. Oh, okay. So Tim already did. Tim, I already answered your question. Good. That's good. Adam, can I tag you on Twitter with a history thread of the 1936 Olympics?

[02:17:56]

Luke, as long as it's not pro-Hitler, I'm down because I know they were in Berlin. If you tag me and you're pro-Hitler, no. Otherwise, if it's, screw those guys and Jesse Owens is the man, all about it. All about it. Meme Express, anything less than 18 OTs and we riot. I'm just going to keel over and just pass out. Tanaclear, $5 super chat. Thank you very much for that. I hope for the oilers in the final because as an abs fan, screw Dushane. Man, you want to get... Okay, you guys think... I know there's a lot of people that they get upset on Twitter because producer Drew tweets things that upset them. It's really upsetting that he says stuff that I disagree with. What a jerk. You want to get producer Drew going? Matt Dushane in an abs jersey. He can't stand it. He has never forgiven Matt Dushane, ever. Have fun with it. Have fun with that. Listen, I got to give you some of the weaknesses sometimes. Oh, there's a new M Night Shyamalan movie. Interesting. Justin sent me poll results. Justin sent me his poll. All tied up, who's winning, Edmonton or Dallas?

[02:19:24]

342 of you voted, and the Dallas star is at 55 %. Sorry, the Edmonton Oilers at 55 %. The Sorry, the Edmondton Oilers are 55 %, the Dallas stars are only 44 %. Dallas fans, where are you? Are you not showing up for your team? If this super chat gets 100 likes, Jesse has to bench Matthews and Neil in for game four of his playoff series. I like that. I like that a lot. Hey, Adam, pay attention. I'm coming to see you Wednesday night. Boston Pizza, Vawn, baby. We'll see you there. I'm going to be here streaming the whole time. Hopefully, we go to seven OTs, and I'll buy you a beer. Jesse's use of celebration music in his streams are awesome. I love Jesse's streams. They're so joyful. Here we go. I thought he was away there. Jesse's got the craziest stuff. Jesse says he won't do the Adam Walsh stuff. Oh, did the Serge just score? Robertson with the hat trick? Are you kidding me? He got it short side on Skinner. You're going to see this. He puts it off of Skinner's back. I don't know how he did that. I don't know how Skinner looked like he was in position right up against the post.

[02:20:47]

Let's see this here. So it all starts as a nothing plate. Hints, behind. Dallas defense keeps it in. Sega in to Robertson, and look. How did he do that? He put it off his leg and in the net, I So it off the... It was off the booty, right off the keester. Wow. He didn't even put it in with any force. It was just a dribbler. That sucks for O'Hillers fans. That rules for Dallas fans. That is a goal scorer who scored a bunch of goals. That is exactly the guy you need to be getting a hat-trick. Damn, dude. Big, big goal for Jason Robertson. That was crazy. What a goal. Man, it's the stuff like that in the playoffs that make it so magical, eh? I just love this. Richard Trefino, Robertson, better than Lafineer. Jesse, any response? I know Jesse's here. He's dropping hats in the chat for the hat trick. Oh, my gosh. Sorry, guys. Struggling with my allergies again tonight. Itchy eyeballs. Let's go. Don't we love that? So, booty to booty. It was booty to booty. Dominic Milford with the fedora style top hat. I like that. Adam, are they allergies or are you just tired?

[02:22:17]

No, my right eye is very itchy and my nose is running and I don't understand. And was I tired at nine o'clock this evening? Yes, but it's 11. I'm fired up, baby. Let's go. Tim Roby show for Super Chat. Timmer, will you and Jesse be joining Steve for any of his streams in the finals? I think it'd be awesome if you did it like you did for the draft. So I don't think so. I think that Steve's streams are a very intense experience, and that's what makes them great. So for Jessie and I to be on that, Steve's stream of consciousness, and he's just like, What's the game? And he's going, The last thing he needs to worry about is throwing to Jessie or I, I think. Also, Jessie in the chat is saying that Lafrenier is better than Gretsky. So take that as you will. So no, I think Steve will be doing that, but we will be doing a draft stream Absolutely. One thing that we played with the idea was, I know that we do our big free agency and trade deadline stuff. Maybe we do some live stream after that, although we're exhausted after those days are over.

[02:23:27]

But we always do a podcast, so maybe we do a live podcast. We pat McAfee it. Jesse's probably looking at the screen going, No. No. Stop bringing up stuff, shit that I got to do. We do put Jesse to work a lot, and he's always good about it. Jack Campbell is coming back. No, I don't think so. Listen, I don't even... Okay. Oilers fans, stars fans. Do we blame Stuart Are we there for that goal, or do we go, That's just a good goal, and goal-scores do that? Jesse Blake, NHL Awards Live stream. Amen. Jesse, we absolutely should do that. That's a great idea. Yes, let's do the NHL Awards Live stream. I love that. Yeah, I'd love to know. I'd love to know. All right, now, here's what I got to know. Louis or Louis Elliott just gifted five SDPN memberships. Louis or Louis, thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Here comes Hints again. Man, how was this guy? Are you sure this guy was actually injured, or was he just sitting getting a good nap. He doesn't look hurt at all, not even a little bit. So Oilers fans, do you blame Skinner?

[02:24:56]

Yeah, a lot of people are blaming. Oh, lucky bounce. Don't blame Skinner. I don't know. Can we get a little an SDPN poll on that one? Do we blame Skinner? Skinner? Do we blame Skinner on that? Or is it not Skinner's fault, and it's just a good goal? That's on the defense, in my opinion, according to to to to to to to 12. Can't be getting that close to the goalie with that much time and no contact. Yeah, I don't disagree with that. But here's the thing. Every shot is because of some defensive breakdown. So you can blame the goalie sometime. Sam, you got to hold the post. That was so, so bad. Yeah. So maybe it's a little column A, a I'm going to call him B. Louis Philippe Lorte. Louis Philippe, I love your name. It's a very French aristocracy, circa 1795. Do you think the oilers are going to move for a goalie like Marström or Sauros and put RNA on the trade block? That is a good question. I don't think they want to put Nuge on the trade block. I think that they would rather put Evander Cain on the trade block because it hasn't worked out well under Nobloc.

[02:26:12]

It worked out really well under Jay Woodcroft, but I think maybe there could be a change of scene coming there, scenery coming with those two. It just doesn't seem like the season's gone well. You never know. You can reset things. But they do need to improve at the goal-tending position. I agree. And they could go on to win the Cup, and I would still say that. Markstrom had the chance to sign in Edmonton. Calgary and Edmonton both offered him the same deal, and he took Calgary's. Whether he regrets that or not, I don't know. But you can tell that he is willing to move. So yeah, maybe Edmonton does that. Maybe a rebuilding Calgary squad would be willing to take on Jack Campbell's deal for delicious, juicy draft pics. Oh, big hit. That's a penalty. That's an interference call on Darnell Yes, it is. And Oilers fans, you're going to hate me, just like Dallas fans hated me earlier. That is absolutely the right call. Well, it's the right leg being out. It's not that he hit him when he chipped the buck by, because that happens all the time. It's the right leg. Once you watch the replay, you're going to hate me.

[02:27:23]

I know this. Mow money at the Movies. It's not the It's a 4-3 goal. It's three goals and 3-33 that constantly happens. Listen, if there's one thing that Oilers fans and lead fans can relate on, it's shaky goal tending. And yeah, I've been there, man. It sucks. Adam, be honest, as a lead fan, do I really want the Oilers to win. I would be thrilled for them. I can't say I want anyone to win other than the leaves, but I would be thrilled for Oilers fans. I'd be thrilled for Connor McDavid, Toronto Kid. Yeah, thrilled for them if they did. But I'll be excited for if Joel Pavelski gets a cup, I'm going to be thrilled about that. Because that's the thing, right? As a fan of other teams, you can root for players. I'd love to see... It'd be cool to see Jonathan Quick and Blake Wheeler in New York get another cup? Blake Wheeler doesn't have a cup, but John... Wait, no. Did Blake Wheeler win in 2011 with the... Did Blake Wheeler win with the Boston Bruins? I have to check that out. Blake Wheeler. Did he Did he ever win that?

[02:28:30]

I got to check that. No, he was traded at the deadline. Oh, that sucks. He was traded at the deadline. So, yeah, that'd be interesting. Hayden is saying, I missed a super chat. I'm just going to look for it. Give me a second. Mo Money at the Movies. Oh, Okay, here we go. As an abs fan, booing Matt Dushane and yelling, 'Screw you, Cory Perry' every time they touch the buck are time-honoured traditions. Heather, I respect it, and I respect the continued hate. That's amazing. Wigelman, could you and Steve in the future stream games from the studio, Steve with the play-by-play and you doing color commentary? We could. The problem with that is Steve has two kids, and one of them is very young. And if I asked his wife for him to come down... See, Jesse would do it in a heartbeat. Jesse's down. And I got a five-year-old, so you know I'm down. I told you on this on the podcast, once you hit four, Your happiness level goes to the roof. By the way, Dallas is on a power play. This is not great for Edmondson that is trying to kill their 21st straight penalty kill.

[02:29:57]

Jesse would be down. I I would be down. But when your kids are both under the age of four, it makes things really hard. I'm sure anybody in the chat with kids knows what I'm talking about. Once they hit four years old, they can do a lot by themselves that they couldn't before. It comes down to silly things like putting on their clothes. My kid putting on her own clothes. What a struggle that was to get her to... She would cry because I told her to take off a T-shirt and put it on another T-shirt. But now, nothing. Done. Easy. You can finally enjoy parenting. So, yeah, I don't know if that would happen for a while, but it would be fun. I feel like it'd be... I've said this to Jessie many, many times, and I've said it to Steve as well. I'd really love to do intermission shows with the boys. I think that would be really good. If Wendy's is 100% fresh, never frozen beef, does that mean their chicken is 100% fresh, never frozen chicken? That's a good question. I don't know. I don't know. I would be happy for Pavelski and Suter.

[02:31:12]

Would also be happy to stop talking about Connor McDavid's biological clock. Well, Trinca, you're right. Yeah, it is annoying. It's like, What is... Connor McDavid truly great because he hasn't won a cup? Stop. He's been amazing. I do want to see him win one. I'd like to see him win one in Toronto. Now, the other fans really hate me. And I get it. I'm trolling you a little bit. I'm sorry. Who would I want to see on New York? Get one. Blake Wheeler and Jonathan Quick would be fun. Has Panarin won one? Yeah, I think he won one. Was Chicago, right? From Florida? No, screw those guys. None of them should win, ever. I'd be happy to see them lose in the finals again. Is that petty? Because I'm petty right now. Yeah, screw the Florida Panthers. If there's one thing that Boston Bruins fans and Lee fans can agree on, it's, screw the Florida Panthers, which makes them such a great villain. In the off-season, can we have an Sdpn episode at the Kids table where Jessie asks you and Steve kids questions about your kids? I don't know if people would care enough Because people without kids don't care about kids that much, do they?

[02:32:34]

I certainly didn't. Before I had a kid and people started talking about their kids, I'd be like, Oh, whatever. I get it. You have kids, you procreated, boring, snore, moving on. But yeah, maybe we could do that. It would be nice for Pabrowski to get one. It would on a different team, not the Panthers. I'm being petty. I'm being petty. Let me be petty. Let me be petty, okay? Same way you hate the Panthers as a Habs fan, I detest the Rangers. Interesting, Big Shaq. Why the Rangers, specifically? I hope the Rangers never win anything for the rest of their existence. Why? Is the Habs-New York rivalry that heated even now? John Simpson. It's funny because the Habs fan hates us because we don't even acknowledge Montreal. All right, here we go. 2:36 left. The fans are on their seats, and we got an offensive zone face off, and all the best Edmondton oilers are on the ice. Dry Side will take in the face off. Mcdavid on the half-board. Zack Hyman powering up the booty to get in front of the net and dig. And Nuj is out there with Bouchard and Eckholm. And we got in a wide open net.

[02:34:09]

And are we going to get a goal here? Oh, we have an icing We're going to give him the Dallas stars, but we almost had a goal. Oh, they ended Cri Price. That's why. Oh, the Chris Kreider play. I forgot about that. That's why Canadian fans hate the Rangers. I get that. I get it. I get it. Man, I forgot about that. And then that makes me think, why did I forget about that? It's because I forget everything. All right, here we go. Dry settle. Wow, good win. He just forced his way into it. Bouchard at the point. Mcdavid on the half board. You know he's going to want to get it deep, but the stars are clogging the zone. Oh, my goodness. Good little play there. He got it in deep. Dreisetel and Hyman were in the right spot. Mcdavid with a nice little deke. Hyman or Dreisetel down low, trying to get it out to Hyman or Nugent Hopkins. Doesn't work. Boosh shot out to the point for McDavid, shot, and it goes out. Good plays here by the Edmondson Oilers. That's three or four good real shots there. Adam, the Star's official team store has a shirt with Matt Dushane's celebration that says, Puck, don't lie, and you could send that to producer Drew.

[02:35:22]

That's funny. Really? Chris Kreider, he was tripped. It wasn't his fault. Well, you know? All right, here we go. The face-off draw is exactly... And we got a goal. The Dallas stars score from their own end. And I think this game is over, baby. Wow. I think that was Hayskinen. Wow. You know what? This game really changed when Pete DeBore adjusted and got Tanev and Lindell away from each other. Hayskinen has done a great job with Lindell. Tanev has looked really, really solid since, and the Edmonton Oilers could not get anything going once that adjustment was made. That That's big. Amazing Cooke, 143. Still no wins for the Oilers at home in the conference final since June 10th, 2006, game three against Carolina. That's right, because they were swept last year. Were they swept last year? No, they weren't swept. That's silly. No, they weren't. The Carolina Hurricanes were swept last year. Yeah, guys, Oilers fans leaving the building. Boy, after the first period, this is not how you would have thought this game was going. 133 left. And you got to remember, at one point, Edmonton was out shooting Dallas 10:00 to 3:00. And the Dallas stars did what the Dallas stars do.

[02:37:15]

They dominated the second period, and they've done that two games in a row. They had 14 shots unanswered by the oilers. 14 shots. I don't think the oilers got a shot until eight minutes left in the second period. That's too damn long, guys. That's too long. Oh, we might get another empty netter here. It didn't help that Nurse got that penalty with a couple of minutes to go or four minutes to go, but wow, this is... Oh, well, McDavid's in deep. Listen, Dallas is still got to try to win this game. And Edmonton could make it interesting by scoring a goal here. There's a bit of a race between Marchman and Nurse. Nurse wins it. 43 seconds on the clock. Edmondson's got to do a rush play here. Dump and chase is what they elect to go for, but maybe they got the four checks going. Another shot, Henrique. Goal scorer earlier, and a good one, too. 25 seconds on the clock. There's Darnell Ners, Evan Bouchard. Puck up. Cain tried to center, did not go anywhere. Ten seconds to go in this game. Guys, Guys, this is a real shocker, real shocker, that Dallas wins this way in Edmonton's barn.

[02:38:36]

This is the first time since the 2022 playoffs, there's 2 seconds to go, that the Edminton oilers are going to lose two straight in the playoffs. The first time since 2022. And I believe that would have been in the third round. Third round. Third round. To Vegas. That's nuts. That's a, by the Anyway, that's producer Hayden, stats God. Anytime player safety puts out a video, you guys should recreate, spoof the play and the explanation, your takes on player safety are hilarious, Gripper Nation. You know who does a great player safety impression is Chris Johnson. What he did with Julian McKenzie's video was hilarious. Guys, 5-3 Dallas. Jason Robertson with a hat-trick. Three goals in three minutes 33 seconds. That really was the difference. Before that three-and-a-half minute stretch, the Edmonton Oilers were up to nothing. After it, they were down. They did tie it up towards the end of the second period. But once Robertson scored in the third, because again, there wasn't much going on in the first 10 minutes of the third period, it was over. And Edmonton did get some chances towards the end of the game, but they really didn't have an answer for Dallas's defense.

[02:39:55]

That was a real masterclass by the Dallas in period 2 and period 3. You got to give them credit. Damn. Wow. Just looking at the chat here one last quick time. So listen, let me remind you that our very first live stream at a live bar location will be at Boston Pizza in Vawn. As far as I know, you can still buy tickets. They might have sold out by now. If you want to buy them, you can buy them. You can go right now to the new SDP that dropped today. Today, and the link is in the description, so you can check it out there. Big love to Gripper Nation tonight, guys. You guys were amazing. Thanks for showing up and hanging out on a Monday night. Let's make this a habit, and I will see you live from Boston Pizza in Vawn on Wednesday. We're going to have a really great time. Love you all. Big shout out to Justin Fisher. Big shout out to Robert Malloy, to Jesse Blake, and of course, the stats God, the stats guru, stats Jesus, Hayden Matheson, producer Hayden. We love him. Okay, guys, have a great one.

[02:41:03]

Thanks so much for hanging out, and we will see you Wednesday night at Boston Pizza.
