Is it possible still I ask myself are we in every mind our game is not logical. But you contemplate how we am. I, I think it's logical what I don't you find are we in my summer spy a big trip away shut up. Do you mind always.

[00:00:49]

Finding love.

[00:00:57]

And.

[00:00:57]

See my waiting nobody.

[00:01:12]

This is the.

[00:01:14]

Way I still pray tell me why do I feel bad.

[00:01:31]

Fighting the lord.

[00:01:33]

Fighting raise the earth waiting for.

[00:03:29]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the game we've all been waiting for. After the game we've all been waiting for Florida and Boston, two to one. This has been a really, really good game. Boston came out on fire. Now they're in front. Pasternak. Oh, he just almost, you know what? Whatever. We're going to stream the last game, this last part of the game together, 324 in the third. So if you're watching along, let's just, let's just jump into Florida, Boston here, because we could be seeing an elimination potentially if Florida can turn it around in the next couple of minutes here. What's up, guys? I hope everybody's doing good. Late night crew. I hope you're ready. I hope you're caffeinated. I hope you're fired up and excited. There's a lot going on. We're going to have. I got a whole bunch of stuff. Producer Hayden put together a really cool stat pack for you. So you're going to have some crazy former Vancouver Canuck goaltender names in a second here. We got a whole bunch of stuff lined up for you. Obviously, Calvin Pickard is starting tonight. Carson, Susie is out. We got some stats about him and his absence that if you're a Vancouver Canuck fan and you're fretting about it, you may not feel so bad.

[00:04:38]

So we'll tell you all about that in a bit. But we got 318 left in the third period between Boston and Florida. Florida has come roaring back in the third period here, at least play wise. But they just have not been able to put a goal in any way. Hi. How's everybody tonight? How's everybody tonight? We having a good time? Are we loving Montgomery just hits a dive. I love the drama of this series. Although I did get tricked by an AI, an AI press conference with Montgomery where he calls Pat maroon fat Pat. And I was like, wow, he just met the guy, I guess. I mean, it's hockey. That, that's, that seems like a nickname anyway, I guess. Guess I'm a dummy. I am a dummy. But you're hanging out with me. We can be dummies together. So looking through so much depth in Vancouver, so little time. Yeah, I'm actually excited for Vancouver's, Vancouver's lineup tonight because they're going to have to figure some things out. I loved Nikita, Dora getting spicy with the media to got to protect the investment with Connor McDaven. Now here's what I need to know. Do you think Florida, do you think Florida ties this up?

[00:05:52]

Because I believe Boston just took a penalty. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. Oh, no, no, no. Just an icing. Florida's pulled the goalie. 03:05 I will give you a clap. Here we go. Here we go. Out to the point. Reinhardt with a shot. It's turned over by Boston. Is that going to know? That's going to be down the ice, but off of a Florida Panther player? Listen, this isn't the game I was expecting to be doing, but damn, this is a great game. Florida can't get established in the offensive zone here. Jeremy swam has done a great job shutting the door, but I have to be honest, Florida needed to be better in the first two periods and they just weren't Boston with that old grizzled no, we're not going to go down easy vet sort of thing. And Florida needed to do better. They should be winning this at home tonight in front of their fans. They don't win tonight. They got to go to Boston. They got to ship off to Boston. Listen to that crowd at TD Garden. You know how loud it can be there. 214 left in the third period. Here we go.

[00:07:06]

Florida established. No, but no, no shots yet, though. Verhege off of oh, Monteur with a little backhand. Swayman somehow saw that. This is a good little warm up. This is good. This is good. How we doing tonight, everybody? How we doing? Tell me in the chat bot you think Boston's winning in regulation? Here we go. All right. What? Okay. If anybody ties this game, who ties it and when? If there is a tie, Florida's taking their time out. Damn. See, I'm even watching, I'm trying to watch the Edmonton feed and I can't because it's 950. The game has been moved to. Man, Suman was good. He's good tonight. Richard Trofino. Boston is going to do the reverse 2023. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. Aaron Grace comeback cats with a Bennett goal prediction. Does he punch the puck in the mouth before it goes in? Because it is Sam Bennett. He's got to punch it. We got a Reinhardt prediction. We got a Montour prediction. We got a very interesting spelling of varhege. I'm not going to lie to you. I can't spell for Hege either, so I'm not going to trip you about it. But I know that's not how you spell it.

[00:08:51]

Brock basser Jewelson is ready to goon it up. I'm ready for Juleson to goon it up. It's going to be a good doug good time in Vancouver tonight. Or it's like, I guess it's going to be an Edmonton PWHL elimination game. Montreal, Boston, third straight ot. That series has been bonkers. Bonkers. I hope Natalie Spooner is okay. By the way, if we get a Boston Toronto final in the PWHL, that is going to be nuts. Boston, Montreal or, sorry, Toronto Montreal will be crazy, too. But just given what's happened lately with the men's side, it will be. It'll be extra interesting if it's Boston. Okay, we're thinking we got a kachuk in the last minute prediction. Verhege gets it all set up. Oh, Lynn home with the oh, Boston is not, or, sorry, Florida is not getting set up in the zone. Boston is all over them. Douglas. Douglas. We're already asking Mitch Marner questions. Douglas. All right, there's a minute twelve left in the third. Paul, Douglas, I will. I will get back to you, but we got to look at this. We got to watch this. Mitch, Martyr trade proposals. My goodness. My goodness.

[00:10:08]

Here we go. Florida's got it. Oh, they give it away. Okay, we're in the last minute. Anybody who predicted a tieing goal in the last minute, this is your time. Pasternak clears the puck. It's gonna be an icing, though. Here we go. All right, so we've got. I'm gonna give you a little clap here. If we get. We can align streams. It's still so weird to me that TD sponsors Boston. TD, as in Toronto Dominion. Toronto Dominion bank. It's weird. Verhege. Okay. Oh, Boston gets it again. 30 seconds to go, ladies and gentlemen. Can Florida do this? It doesn't look like they're going to. They just cannot get set up. And we got another icing. 20 seconds to go. You're going to be chewing some nails here. You're going to be chewing some nails, man. Paul Maurice and Jim Montgomery tonight have been the two most entertaining people on the ice. Always saying f you to the ref. Wow, some good lip reading there, buddy. 20.2 seconds to go. Are we ready? I'm gonna give you a clap here to start. We go. Reinhardt to the point. 13 seconds to go. Whoo. Oh. Oh, what a save.

[00:12:09]

What a save. Suaven, he saves the game. He's keep. Oh, wow. Suaven just saved Boston's season. Whoo, baby. You know, I thought it was going to be fight night in, in Florida. Turned out to be a pretty intense even. Well, not really even. Let's be honest. Florida got outplayed pretty bad in the first two periods. Wow. Reinhardt, that's the guy you want. That's the guy you want with that puck, dude. Wow. Holy moly. They got it done. Good for Jeremy Swamon. Damn, man, it's so weird to see Bruins fans so upset. It's funny to see Bruins fans so upset for somebody doing to them what they've been doing to the league for the last decade plus. Decade plus? Like, what do you mean? I can't believe that people are being so dirty to us. Can't you? You really can't? Okay. All right. Silver lining. We might get a new Marshan crying meme in game six. I don't know. Is it late enough in the playoff for Marcian to cry? I don't know. All right, all right. So your boy Paul Douglas said, is there money and terminal that you would be happy to have Mitch Marner back for like 9.3 times.

[00:13:48]

Eight years. Man, if Mitch Marner takes a million and a half or whatever off of his contract to stay, he would be a hero in Toronto. Like, if he signed an extension that was for a million dollars a year plus less than what he currently makes. And then, and then he says, guys, I just want. I just want to win the cup here. They're going to build a statue for him. That is. That is what happened would happen. It would happen. There's no question. So, yeah, sure, if Mitch Marner wants to make way less than his market value for the next eight years, because his next contract should be $100 million, should be probably, you know, given what he's making or given what he does in the regular season. And I think if his deployment was different in the playoffs with different lineups because the Leafs have been smallish and zippy, but, oh, yes, we missed them in the national anthems. Thank you, Boston and Florida. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm really grateful. Boring television. Yeah, I would say, damn, listen, keep it. Trade someone else. Figure it out. Let's watch some hockey, shall we?

[00:15:00]

Calvin Pickard making his start tonight. Now, I want to throw this at you the last time she loves. And Calvin Pickard arters and Calvin started against one another was game two of last year's opening round playoffs in the AHL. Abbotsford won that game for two. Nils Hoglander was the first star, and Calvin Pickard was the third star. Made 29 saves on 32 shots. How about that? So they have played each. Oh, I clapped. But, of course, I didn't drop the puck. Here we go. There we go. And we got a game, baby. We're jumping right in here. Now, it's important that we talk about some of the people that are not starting in this game, like Stuart Skinner. According to producer Hayden stat Pack here, Stuart Skinner has his 881 career save percentage is the lowest of any goalie, with 20 plus games played in the playoffs since the 2005 lockout, the second lowest of any goalie since 1990. Who was the worst goalie? Who's the worst playoff save percentage since. Oh. Oh, my gosh. So that's. That's one for the chat. That's a little trivia for you? Oh, baby. So, worst playoff save percentage since 1990.

[00:16:16]

Who is it? It's a crazy name. And by the way, it's a Vancouver Canuck. Or at least he's known for being a Vancouver Canuck. Anybody? Anybody? I'm not seeing any. Not seeing any guesses here late on the line. Oh, I think we got a winner in the chat, Dan. And you got it. Dan Kluche of the Vancouver canucks. Worst playoff save percentage since 1990. Of goalies who've played 20 or more games in the playoffs. Isn't that nuts? His was 87 point. Sorry, a .872% garbage. I have a clue chase story for you in the next face off here. Dry saddle out. Look, he's hobbling. He's looking. He's not looking like. Typical him, you know? Ian Cole is moving up with Ian Cole. Tyler. Tyler Myers move up. Zidorov and Jolson are the two third pair guys.

[00:17:25]

Whoa.

[00:17:25]

Big hit by Evander Kane there. We missed it. I couldn't even see who it was on. Oilers already got two shots. They're out to play early. I want to see the replay of that. Okay. McDavid got kind of lucky with Quinn. He was there. Although I think Quinn tucked that stick under his arm. Oh, she loves with a big save. So Zidorov. Okay, so Zidorov hit Kane, and then Kane kind of brought him down. All right, that's even. That's even my mic sound. Okay, so Sam Lafferty up with Patterson, trying to get Patterson going. I guess Linus Carlson kind of makes sense that he would be on the fourth line to Doroth. At the point. WHOOP. Little floater in, boy. You know, the thing is, Nashville and Edmonton, to a large degree, have given Patterson a difficult time physically. And I, they've put McKay of on his line. They've put Lafferty on his line. Lafferty's tough, but he's not like big. And I wonder if in the offseason, if they look for a big, bigger winger to play with him to clear a little bit of room, because I think you do need that come playoff time.

[00:18:48]

But that's, that's for another day. 1705 left in the first. Guys, no shots. Vancouver to Edmonton. McDavid already with a really, really good opportunity, but she loves had it. Blue girl line out there. Linus Carlson, Nils Oman, you know, it's funny, Carlson and Oman, we're not even playing in the start of this series and here we are. This guy's getting an opportunity against the best offense in the world to play on the fourth line, where you got to pin them. Lynn home line out there. That's Dakota Joshua Carter Garland joining for Edmonton. It's day Harnay. Whoa. And Darnell nurse so they split up. Darnell nurse and Cody CC. Thank God. Oh, we got a penalty against Edmonton. It looks like day Arnie and I think, am I wrong here? Is it Darnay Fogel? Joshua? Oh, yeah. That is a for sure penalty. And Darnell is trying to get, tried to get Dakota Joshua to bite on that penalty and instead dota Kota Joshua just bit his hand. So, yeah, I see. Here's the thing. Edmonton came out firing and this sucks. You come out jacked and one of your guys takes a penalty. They had all the momentum to start this connect.

[00:20:21]

Power plays looked pretty good. Obviously need some more goals on it, but like it. I will tell that Dan Kluche story in a minute. Don't you worry. It's coming. 1548 but we got a power play. Oh, I didn't know. Connects are three for nine this series. That's really good. Edmonton special teams this year after a like record breaking, breaking abomination a couple years ago. They've been just so good. But Vancouver should not be underestimated as we see that they're up to one in the series. Every game in this series has been decided by one goal. So it's mistakes. Like taking a penalty. That's stupid. You know. You know, the thing about penalties is if it, if it impedes a scoring chance by the other team, you take the penalty. But if you're in the offensive zone doing something stupid or you're pulling what Darnell's nurse did, which is a full blown cross check that they're absolutely going to call. You can't afford those. Looks like Edmonton could get away with it. But Connor, Garland. Ooh, man, here we go. They're going to test Pickard here, and they got to get volume shots on this guy.

[00:21:55]

Get bodies in front of the net. Oh, that's exactly what they wanted to do, man. Power play. Two for Vancouver's.

[00:22:02]

Looking good.

[00:22:03]

Garland on the half board. Oh, whoa. Man, Suiter almost had one there. How many times have I said that these playoffs. Oh, Suter. Garland Zadorov's pinching. Garland comes up with the puck again. The guy never doesn't. He's never not had the puck. Nurse is out. Edmonton clears Vancouver with a really good power play, though. Over to Garland. Oh, no. Zadorov can't get it over. Boy, oh, boy. 1412, guys. 1412. I got some crazy stats for you, too, aid Hayden. Stat. Stat. Package was. Was really good last game. This game. It's. It's thick. He's gonna be dropping stats in here. Like, I know stuff. Really. It's. It's producer Hayden, but we do appreciate him for doing it. All right, so the Dan Clucci story, by the way, I'll save it for commercial break. Just. It's the early days of the Internet. And, Dan Clucc, if you're a longtime Canucks fan, you probably already know what I'm talking about. Here we go. Blue girl line out for an offensive zone face off. As you would expect, you have to get Teddy Bluegrass out there. Although the. The big guys are tired. They've just. They just put three shots on the net in the power play.

[00:23:28]

Whoa. McDavid. Oh, what a save. She loves again. McDavid was looking for that wraparound. Liam Howe, serious question. If the Knucks win. Oh, okay. Hold on, Liam. I'm gonna get your question a second, but let me. Let me do this. Let me do this. Let's talk about. Let's talk about this Dan Kluche story. So, Canucks fans have a. Had a very tortured relationship with Dan Kluche because, as I said, since 1990, he is the worst playoff save percentage for any goalie who played more than 20 games. And people forget because the 2011 team went to the finals, how good the Vancouver Canucks pre lockout were. Bertuzzi, Nasaland, Morrison. That line was crazy. Matthias Oland was a crazy defenseman. They had great depth. Really, really fantastic. But where they always lost, where they always seemed to just not get over the hump. And they remind me a lot of like the sharks of the last decade, except the Sharks got to the finals and the Sharks had better goal setting. Dan Klucci could, just couldn't hold it together. So Canucks fans in the early days of the Internet with Google search used to be able to manipulate a search.

[00:24:55]

If you search something enough, you would be able to see on the dropdown menu. When you search somebody's name or a word or whatever, you would be able to see how many times it was searched and what was searched the most. So Vancouver fans took it upon themselves to write, Dan Clucci, worst goalie in the world or worst goalie ever. And for like the longest time, I'll see if it's still up. Dan Kluche it's not. But she saw. I'll run through this. So Dan Cluche worst goalie. Or if you were to Google worst goalie of all time, Dan Cluche's name would come up because Vancouver Canucks fans made sure that that was a search, a search function. Now, if you look up dan clucci now. Dan Kluche dB dan clucci Elite dan Clucci stats dan clucci trade dan Kluche Twitter dan Kluge Shake kids and then dan Kluche beach ball, as in he couldn't stop one still up, Canucks fans. Wow. Now that was before the Internet was as important in our lives as it is now. And I think there was a lot of experimenting back then that was a lot more cruel than we really expected it to be.

[00:26:05]

But that's a true story. 1337 left in the first period. Here's Brockbuster, who had just an incredible game last game. Almost had the hat trick tip puck went to Lindholm. I'm sure he doesn't care. I want to talk about Edmonton's defense pairings here in just a bit because I think you'll be fascinated to find. Well, I'll go to it now. So the worst defensive pairs for both teams through game game one through game three. Can anybody name them? This is according to expected goals fors. Expected goal for. Excuse me. And you must have played 30 minutes. You ready? Edmonton's worst defense pairing. And you would have shocked me. I can't believe this is true. For expected goals, Brett Kulak and David Aaron. A shocking because Cody Cece and Darnell knows were brutal. Oh, here we go. Dakota Joshua way. Can't spring Lafferty, but good offensive play. The worst defense pairing for Vancouver, who would that be? Tyler Myers, Carson Susie who is suspended for cross checking McDavid in the teeth. Kind of crazy. So now Noah Juleson's in, and he and Nikita Zadorov are just going to lay the bar. At least that's the idea.

[00:27:51]

That's a tough pairing. That would not be a fun night if you're going up against them. And I got to give Edmonton credit. They split up. They finally said split up. Cece and nurse, they have to do that. Those guys cannot continue to play together. Pretty even first period so far, Edmonton came out on fire, took the penalty. Vancouver came on six shots the entire game. So far. Still better than Nashville. That series. Man. I would have thought, by the way, that Ian Cole would have had the worst expected goals for whatever pairing he was on he's had. Part of it's been bad luck, part of it's been bad. And sometimes when you have good luck, you're good, and when you have bad luck, sometimes you have bad luck, and sometimes you're just bad. And I don't know that he's always been bad, but he has had some bad shifts. Rich Wilson, you know, he wants to make an impression tonight. So, Susie, suspension according to advanced numbers, or at least one metric, helps. Oh, they're off the side of the nether. There's dry siddle. Oh, see? Dry. You see where dry saddle was by the side of the net?

[00:29:20]

They're just waiting. He's just waiting. Oh, and Cole clips up the boards, doesn't get it out. Now, I got to tell you guys, as a leaf fan. Oh, oh. JT Miller just, whoo. I think we got a penalty here. Little high stick to the face. Dry saddle. I think JT Miller thinks he sold it, but I haven't seen it. We'll see. And listen, dude, if he, if he sold it, good for him. Oh, yeah. No, that's a high stick. That's a high stick. It is, like, all day. 1004, by the way, on the sink. 1004. I'm going to clap for this face off. 1004 if you're sinking. MKI sports. I finally got off work. Woohoo. Hey. Hey. You've been here this entire time. It's nice to have you in. There's a lot of people that have just been in every single game, and all the Oilers fans that have joined. It's so sick to have you guys here. This has been a lot of fun, and you know what? It's helping to cure my depression. I'm very jealous of the fact that you guys are getting to watch this, and so I'm along for the ride.

[00:30:59]

I am bandwagon jumping. Linholm linen up. Edmonton with the scariest power play potentially of all time other than the Gretzky, Eulers and Bouchard with a great move at the line. McDavid in front. Oh, just missed by dry sidle. Linholm deep. There's dry saddle exactly where he stands. I love, love, love Edmonton's power play. I love it. It's the best. Look at how deep everybody is. Wow. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready to see this. This is dramatic already. Dry saddle has five power play goals in the playoffs already. Oh, my God. I don't think the Leafs have had five power play goals like this year and last year combined. Oh, my God. Oh, it's so pathetic. Ah, I love them. This is painful, though. It hurts me. Okay. Edmonton doesn't get set up. Nils Oman out there taking a little bit of PK time.

[00:32:37]

That's.

[00:32:37]

That's good talk and trust him. Ederson out there. Joshua with them. Myers, Ian Cole. Ian Cole's got to have a good game tonight because if Susie comes back, I think and Noah, Jules and has a good night, that might be Ian Cole's number. Oh, what a score. Leon drys saddle exactly where he should be. I told you two minutes ago. Did I not two minutes ago. What a goal. That is exactly where he needs to be. And that is where he will be all night. And this is the kind of stuff, remember we talked about this when, when nurse took his penalty. You do not want a stupid penalty that that happens on a nothing play to lead to a goal. And that's exactly what happened to JT Miller there. Listen, JT Miller is a fantastic player, but getting his stick up on McDavid like or, sorry, on drysaddle like that has led directly to dry cycle scoring. And you just can't let that happen. It's the playoffs. If you're taking away a scoring chance, it's cool. If you're in the offensive zone or you're just messing around, this is what you get. This was an f around and find out moment for the Vancouver Canucks.

[00:33:56]

Do not f around with Edmonton's power play. Don't. And you know, Miller's going to get out there and try to get that back. And I think he can. Unless Calvin Pickard has like some weird, crazy archers filoff sort of. Night, Miller. Hughes. The big boys are up for the Canucks against the fourth line. And Deharnay. I'm still getting used to these. Darnay nurse. I'm still getting used to the pairings. Quinn Hughes. Bit of a floater in that's blocked by Connor Brown. Oh, Derek Ryan. Excuse me. Sometimes I don't know what it is, and I think part of it is the sportsnet stream. When the Oilers jerseys are like this, it's difficult to see the number as well. It's a lot easier to see it on the white and blue with the Canucks, so sometimes I missed the number. Oh, nice little hit by Jules, and that's a good hockey hit. Not a big banger, but something you're like, that's what you want. Stop him up. Edmonton fans love the, love the hit on Zidor off. It's not that big. I don't think I've ever seen anybody lays the door off out. I think that'd be pretty hard to do.

[00:35:12]

Evander Keynes, Adorov. Is there going to be, are they going to tussle tonight? Are they going tonight? Are they going tonight? You know, we all want to see it. Oh, centered bouchard in deep. All McLeod just missed a beauty chance. I think she love may have got that off the glove. Whoa, whoa. Oilers fans are rooting for it. Listen, they only have four shots, but I bet the scoring chances are double whatever Vancouver has. Edmonton's had a really, really good period with the exception of that power play. You got to love that. S Murdoch. Thanks for streaming. Since CBC gem sucks now, does CBC gem not have this game? I can see how they wouldn't because it is. What day is it today? Tuesday. So it's not a national night. So Sportsnet would probably take it and put it on their app only so that you have to buy the subscription. So CBC usually only has, like, national night games, so it'll be. Although I think CBC should have all the canadian teams, too. Ultimately a sportsnet feed, but whatever. I don't know how that all works. But, you know, sportsnet does kind of want you to subscribe to their apple.

[00:36:38]

Patterson putting, putting Connor McDavid down there. Lafferty pushes the puck out. McDavid brings it back in. Zador off. Bit of a hit on McDavid. We got a wide open. Evan Bouchard, not something that you want. Ronick gets in the way of it. Whoa, she loves another save. Edmonton looking for that. It seems like Edmonton comes. Oh, she man, they're moving the puck really well. There's been a couple of opportunities where you legitimately think if the oiler player is a couple of strides ahead, there is a wraparound opportunity. Oh, dry siddle. Calling out the Canucks bench on the way by, oh, I like that. Big Canadian, Big Mac Rodgers pulled all streaming on gem for playoffs and hockey going forward. No way. I did not know that. You know what? Thinking about it, it doesn't surprise me. That's what Sportsnet wants. They want you to sign up for their app. Justin, put this in the chat. Adam, I have a challenge for you. Pick a score for the Oilers and Canucks and even them score tonight. I'll drop some gift subscribers. Ooh. All right. Okay. I guess I can't pick dry sidle. I'm going to say Evander Cain by the Oilers.

[00:38:15]

I think he's due. And I didn't want to just pick McDavid because that doesn't seem fair, does it? Evander Cain and JT Miller because he needs to get one back. That's what I think. Jacqueline K. Boo sportsnet greedy. Well, I think companies are the jobs to make profit. I don't love it either. I know. You should be able to watch hockey. Yeah. I'm saying Kanen Miller. Kanen Miller. That's who scores. I would have said dry saddle before he scored, but I didn't see it in the chat because he was just, he was right in that spot beside the net where he scored from tonight, where he scored from earlier in the series, where he just fired the puck right through. She loves chest. Vancouver's got to pick it up here. I think the Lindholm line needs a bit of a good shift if they're going to, you know, make some of this first period. Edmonton's been really good. Really good. The score. I would love to know what the scoring chances are after this or high danger scoring chances because that's more accurate. You'll see. Oh, oh, oh. Justin, was it, was it, was it first to get a penalty?

[00:39:58]

Because that's what I meant. Evander Cain, first to get a penalty. You see? Drop those subs. No, man. Oh, it's a four. Myers is bleeding, baby. So assuming that Vancouver doesn't score, Edmonton spends most of the rest of the first on the pk. Edmonton could get two here. And this is again. Oh, geez. Evander, what are you doing? That's an absolute always penalty. Always, always. If they didn't get it for the double minor, they could have called him cross checking. Man, Edmonton's had a great first period. This is not what you really want to happen. Wow. Wow. He's really bleeding. But you really do if you're Vancouver, have to make the most of this, obviously, hugely, hugely important. Oh, it's covered for a while it's been a long day, I got up at 430 this morning to interview Valtteri Bottas of stake f one team with Tim Horani. He might is. There's a good argument that he's the most famous person that's ever appeared on SDPN, that that episode is coming out in a couple days, by the way. Patterson bringing it up down deep. Besser Lindholm, Quinn Hughes. Patterson along the half boards. You know, Patterson needs to get a goal here.

[00:41:55]

Oh, yeah. Hey, Adam, can we, if you see this, can you clap in the next face up? Yeah. 446, by the way. 445. 444. 443. 441. I missed 442 in there, but that's, it was 441. I wasn't talking fast enough. Here we go. Oilers on a break. Yanmark, she love stops it. 242 left in the power play. Hugh suiter in his own zone. Quinn Hughes is off pp two for Vancouver, who looked actually very dangerous on the first playoff or power play. My gosh, I need a coffee. Wow. Oh. Ronick stops the clear attempt by Ekholm, and it's given away immediately by Zdorov. Should have just held the puck. Edmonton has more shots on this double miner than Vancouver does. Currently. Shots are one nothing. Edmonton Veronic. Oh, man. Here's the thing with this. Connor Garland. Give it to Connor. Oh, no. He's changing. He be one back out there. 340 in the first. Have not had a face off, so we cannot sink yet, but we will. JT Miller bringing it in. Lindholm takes a little funny bounce over his stick. Miller on the half board. Quinn Hughes gets it. Whoo. Edmonton gets. Strips him 130 now left on the power play.

[00:43:31]

There's cC nurse putting up the numbers. Maybe they'll reunite them. Wow. Edmonton's doing a great job killing this. This power play. Really great. This is the kind of thing you take a double miner. It sucks, but if you do a great job, you send a lightning bolt through the arena and the fans go berserk. And it's a loud arena. I think. I think Vancouver needs to get some scoring chances on this. You cannot go. Here we go. Garland Dakota. Joshua Pickard has it somehow, some way. Whoa. Well, Vancouver got a couple of bodies to the net and some shots, but look at the man. Look at the Edmonton crowd cheering them on. Oh, Garland at home just tied him up. Wow. Don't forget to smash that, like, button. Folks only have 148. There's 843 people watching. We gotta get that, like, button going. We got it going. Pew. Suiter taking the face off. I and he wins it. Back to Hughes. Garland on the half wall or half board. Quinn Hughes over to Philip Roenick. Roenick has not had a point in the playoffs. Oh, my God. Another clear by Edmonton. They clear this thing, they're going to get a standing ovation.

[00:45:35]

And you can't expect to beat Edmonton by four shot, like, with four shots going in the first. Not an acceptable period for Vancouver. They've had their opportunity. Six minutes of these 20 minutes will have been on the power play. We are 10 seconds away from them killing this power play, and it just seemed like Vancouver, they got one, that one little opportunity. They could not get set up. Edmonton was really, really aggressive and intelligently so. They took the right risks, good deployment, and there's that standing ovation that the fans obviously owe the players. That was a great kill. Absolutely fantastic. Textbook. When you needed your goalie, he was there, but you didn't need a much. And now we got a break. Oh, at home. Could have had one there. Oh, we got a two on oh. Or two on one with Besser and blue Ger and he's. Oh, wow. Nurse just cross checked the crap out of Besser's back. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Is that. No, it was dry saddle. Damn. I just assumed cross check. Don't all nurse. He's good at them. Oh, Ian Cole with a little bit of a shot. 51 seconds to go in the first period.

[00:46:59]

Still haven't had a face off draw to sync the streams up with. I apologize, everybody. Just the way she goes sometimes. Oh, wow. This is looking dangerous. 30 seconds to go. Can Vancouver get out of this? They got a slow, deep air out there. All blue girl breaks up the play. I'm just going to say Edmonton's got their best players out there, and Vancouver's got a slower d pair. They managed it. Teddy blue girl. Man, I like him a lot. He's a heck of a player. You know, it's interesting how quiet Edmonton's depth scoring has been. I guess you don't have to be a big goal scorer when Leon Driestle has five power play goals now, six in these playoffs. It's pretty incredible. 8.6 seconds to go. We're going to get a face off with 8.6 seconds to go. Edmonton is really outplayed Vancouver. They just showed it on the graphic. Outshot him. 22 to 14 chances, not the actual shots that made it. Here we go. And they actually dropped the puck. How about that? 6 seconds to go. Puck is iced. All right, well, that's the first period done. Already. Guys, what do we think?

[00:48:49]

Aaron Grace, worst period for Vancouver this series? Yeah, I think so. And, and, and honestly, it wasn't like they weren't trying. Like, let's be honest here. I think that. I think that Edmonton just came out and played the Edmonton game. They did. They were awesome. And it is still anyone's game, or there's up one nothing. But Edmonton came out and did what they're known for, lots of chances running around the net getting set up, and they do such a great job when they are set up. Everybody knows their spot. Here's the crazy thing about Edmonton is they're so predictable and yet you can't do anything. It's sort of like watching Ov at the half board on the power play when he puts his stick up, you know, it's like, okay, well, we know an ov shots coming, and even though everybody knows it's coming for some reason, you can't really do much about it. And I feel like that with dry saddle down low and beside the net, the the place he scored a couple of times in this series, because what makes that spot so dangerous is you can't actually get out there and cover him on a, especially on a power play because you've got Ryan or Zack Hyman's in front of the net and he's Zack Hyman is high in front of the net.

[00:50:04]

He's at the top part. And what Ryan Nugent Hopkins always does is he darts down and gets over to the other side. So if dry saddle decides to pass the hymen or just get it in there, you got two Edmonton sticks whacking away at it. And if there's a rebound, new just got it. It's really, really smart. Really smart. Vax 20K, time to let Patterson go and trade him. Okay. I think we're getting a little bit. I mean, he's pretty amazing. I know that you haven't been thrilled with maybe perhaps how he's done thus far, but, like, he's Leah's Patterson, you know, he's a, let me see here, 89 point guy. You guys can't feel the same way about him that Leaf fans tend to feel about Marner. And the reason I say that is because you have not played enough playoff games. Not yet. Not yet. By the way, I don't think it's all martyrs fault. I think part of its deployment. Liam Howe, serious question. If the knucks win the next two against the Oilers, what are the odds dry sidel actually leaves? And if so, what are the chances McDavid follows after.

[00:51:27]

So I don't, I don't have any insight personally on the dry saddle situation. What I think is a lot will hinge on next year. You know, we're making a lot of Calvin Pickard starting for the Edmonton Oilers. You have McDavid and dry Seidel in their cup window, and Calvin Pickard is your starting goalie because Stuart Skinner stinks in the playoffs, or at least has for his entire time in Edmonton, stunk in the playoffs. Ken Holland's gone at the end of the year, his contract expiring. We get it. But is, does that give Jeff Jackson and whoever comes in as general manager enough time to find a goalie? And do they have the cap space? You know, like, I know that you've got Campbell somewhat buried, but do you buy him out? We went into this on the podcast the other day. You can't buy out darn all nurse that contract. You're stuck with that. And if you go and check out the bio calculator, you'll see why that contract's not up till 2030. So you're a bit hamstrung there. So, yeah. To answer the dry sidel question, I think that he would have to look at how the team is built in his final year.

[00:52:41]

Like, I actually like, if they won this year, he might not have to think about that. He might not have to do that. If they win this year, he's probably like, yeah, I'm definitely staying. And so is Connor McDavid. Not even gonna think about it. More cups, please. If they don't, it's kind of funny. It's. I don't know if you guys watch motor racing at all, but Formula One is interesting because you'll have amazing drivers who are in bad cars, and it's like, it's like if hockey players had bad skates, like, the team cannot provide me with good skates. If the team can't provide you with a good team around you. Leon dreisied has done everything the Oilers have asked of him, and he is making, like, way under market value for what he's worth. What is it, 8.5 or 9.5? Whatever he's make, it's crazy. It's crazy low. He's going to be asking, and he should for like $14 million, he should. If Matthews is making 13.5, you can't make the argument with the cap going up eight to $9 million over the next two seasons, meaning between right now and next June, we're expecting the cap or next July.

[00:53:49]

We're expecting the cap to go up by, like $8 million. You can't expect Leon Drysel to be like, yeah, I'm cool making less than Matthews because the thing about Leon is he's got that extra bit of, oh, I'm really great in the playoffs, too. Like, I don't think people realize, but I think he was leading the playoffs in scoring last year until the final game, like, I mean, in goals. And it was Jonathan Marchisau that finally tied him up. And so he finished the playoffs tied in goals with Marciusau, who scored in the final Vegas game. And Leon hadn't played a game since the second round. Edmonton was out round two last year. So, yeah, you got to do everything you can to keep this guy and put a good team around him. And I think the second thing is, and this is really important, Leon's decision will have an enormous effect on Conor McDavid because Conor has to stay an extra year and I say has to stay, will willingly stay an extra year, sign the contract to stay the extra year. I don't know what the free agent crop looks like in 2025, but Edmonton will need to immediately replace that player.

[00:55:03]

Now. Do you replace him with three players? Do you replace him with two players? Kind of like what Winnipeg did with PLD when they made the trade? You could, but then it becomes, is Connor staying and how good is the team in Connors last year? It's not a great situation, but it also, now that I think about it and I say it out loud, it also forces Edmonton's management to be aggressive. Like, I remember when, when Edmonton in Kenny Holland's, I think it was first year, it was 2019. It was the trade deadline, or 2020 was the trade deadline, and they traded like a couple of seconds for Andreas Athanasi. You and I think it was this year that he said this, it might have been the next year where there was like a year where he bid basically did next to nothing. Oh, yeah, that was, no, that year they did something. It was the next year, 2021. They did next to nothing. And Ken Holland said, well, you can't go for it every year. You can't empty the clip every year. And everybody's like, are you nuts? Are you crazy? You have the two best players in the world.

[00:56:06]

Are you crazy? You know, and it's, it's, and the problem is, and I'm going off on a rant here, the problem is, if you don't do it when you have them, then when are you gonna do it? In their last years, because if you do it in their last years and then they leave anyway, your closet's empty, man. You're starting again. And you've seen, with Chicago, with Anaheim, with Buffalo, how long it can be before you turn it around. Like, Edmonton was lucky to get Connor McDavid. They won the lottery. Great. But, like, what if they hadn't got Leon dreisidle? That was entirely possible. And so you have to hit a couple of times and then watch the players develop over three or four years before you're really, truly in cup contention. Window. My point is, this is a big, big deal. And Edmonton needs a goaltender next year. They got to figure it out. They got to figure it out. I know that Kenny Holland tried to get Markstrom, too. He decided to go to Calgary. I wonder if Markstrom is happy with that decision or regrets it. Anyway. Hey, we got to do a clip here.

[00:57:18]

So Steve went on a really good rant about officiating in the playoffs, and we talked specifically about the Susie McDavid Zadorov incident and also the ones in Boston, too. So have a watch. I'm gonna make a coffee. And we're coming back. Here we go.

[00:57:37]

Go ahead. Which one's this?

[00:57:38]

Hold on. Hold on.

[00:57:39]

Which.

[00:57:39]

Which bit of bullshit is this?

[00:57:41]

I gotta play it a little.

[00:57:42]

Yeah. So now. And so just to set this up. Sure goes a two one game. And it's a very. It's a very, very tight game. Boston was to nothing.

[00:57:55]

Boston.

[00:57:56]

Boston had a really good first period. They get two goals. Panthers claw back one, and this is the second goal. And this is the goal that ties the game. Look at Jeremy Swamon. He is deep in his crease, but the puck is in and around. You've got Charlie Coyle. You've got Sam Bennett. And Sam Bennett, you'll see. Pushes Charlie Coyle into Jeremy Swamon.

[00:58:19]

Here's what he doesn't.

[00:58:20]

Gets the puck off of Swayman's right foot, comes right to his stick, and he's able to put it in the net. Now, this was ruled a goal. The Bruins challenge, it continued to be ruled a goal as a not goaltender.

[00:58:37]

Interference, and the Bruins were punished for it.

[00:58:39]

So it's paused right there on the push that Bennett has on coil. The argument from the people inside the game who agree with the call is that coil put himself in the blue crease. And once you're in the blue crease, you're. It's your own fault if you're interfering with your goalie. Plus, he went down a little easy. I don't agree with either of those assessments. I think it should just be point blank as rule 69 in the NHL rulebook establishes it. If somebody is pushed into the goaltender, that is goaltender interference, it shouldn't. It shouldn't matter whether or not sue Min had the ability to save the puck, whether or not coils in his place. I think it's just goaltender interference point blank, based on how the rule is.

[00:59:19]

You heard him. You heard the NHL folks. You see a guy in the blue paint, hit him in the dick. That's. It's your job. If you're not doing what's allowed, then you're not doing your job. Hit him in the dick. So here's Alan Walsh tweeting the actual godforsaken rulebook of the NHL. If a defending player has been pushed, shoved or fouled by an attacking player, so as to just. Just to establish Charlie Coyle is a defending player, here, Sam Bennett is an attacking player. Okay, great. Now that we know that if a defending player has been pushed, shoved or fouled by an attacking player, so as to cause the defending player to come into contact with his own goalkeeper, such contact shall be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, and if necessary, a penalty assessed to the attacking player, and if a goal is scored, it would be disallowed. The Bruins got a penalty out of this, and a goal was allowed against the Bruins out of this, it should have been goal disallowed. Panthers penalty. Holy fuck. What are we doing? What are we doing?

[01:00:23]

I mean, we have too much shit.

[01:00:26]

To still be this bad. Too much technology, too much. Too many resources, too much personnel. What are we doing? This is wholly intentional. And I gotta point out that Colin Campbell still works for the National Hockey League at 71 years old, and the Florida Panthers happen to be his kids team.

[01:00:49]

Paris also played for the Panthers. Yeah.

[01:00:51]

Let's go, Panthers. Come on, George. Let's go, Panthers.

[01:00:57]

Woo.

[01:00:59]

Let's go, George. Come on, George. Oh, leaf fans.

[01:01:02]

Salty.

[01:01:03]

I am defending the bruins with my whole fucking chest.

[01:01:05]

Are you joking?

[01:01:07]

Do you know how wrong you have to be to get me to yell and scream and spit for Brad Marshand, you know? Holy shit. No. The second round's been anarchy. I'm done. I'm done. Nope. Emergency break. It's. This is. It's been horrible.

[01:01:26]

Horrible.

[01:01:26]

And it's ruining what has otherwise been a fantastic product. Really fantastic. What's so hard about making that not a goal? What's so hard about making that not goal not a goal?

[01:01:38]

I. You know what? I completely agree. I think.

[01:01:41]

I wasn't. I wasn't sure if it was a question or if you still filibuster.

[01:01:45]

I love the rant. I love the rant. And I agree with it. I think the reason I kicked it off by saying I'm bored with it is because it's the same every year. And. And so. So let me just. Let me just show this. Go ahead. Go ahead. So. So that's fine. That's fine. You could. You could go if you want to go. I'm just saying the. The connect series, specifically game two, the Quinn Hughes high stick that hit him in the face. The. What's hilarious about Quinn Hughes's face is not only is he bleeding, but there is a stick shaped red mark on his cheek.

[01:02:22]

Yeah.

[01:02:22]

Do I get to talk about that now?

[01:02:23]

Yeah, bring it up. Bring it up. Okay, so. So look at Quinn Hughes's face here.

[01:02:28]

I love when I'm is two minutes into what I know is going to be a ten minute rant, and Jesse has something on the screen that's not related to what I'm talking about.

[01:02:36]

He knows where he's.

[01:02:36]

I'm like, oh, shit. I need to wrap it up.

[01:02:37]

Yeah, I want to talk about fucking Connor. If we're talking about people egregiously hurting superstars, I consider myself a national broadcast on the Edmonton Vancouver game because unlike Adam's bias stream, I do not have a dog in the fight. Adam's clearly leaning one way. So this Edmonton fans are mad that.

[01:02:55]

I'm not cheering enough for them. Yeah, you're biased.

[01:02:58]

Whatever. I got to take issue with both sides because the.

[01:03:03]

The cross Alberta money, the cross check.

[01:03:06]

To the face of Conor McDavid is uncalled for. It should work. An suspension. But this is at least a penalty. And no, I don't understand how Carter McDavid gets away with cross checking. Because that will. High sticking. Sorry. It's not cross checking. High sticking Quinn Hughes in the face and drawing blood. He skates right.

[01:03:28]

You got to go back. You got to go back to the picture of Quinn Hughes's face because I'm going to. I'm going to show you where you got it wrong.

[01:03:34]

There.

[01:03:34]

There you go.

[01:03:35]

Sure.

[01:03:36]

There you go.

[01:03:36]

And they make him get off the ice, by the way.

[01:03:38]

Yeah, well, he's bleeding.

[01:03:41]

Let me.

[01:03:41]

Let me do the play.

[01:03:42]

No, no. The reason there was nothing called Jesse. Look up. It's four on four. There's at least a five minute moratorium between work tasks for NHL officials. They do something, and then they got to take at least a five minute breather, catch their friggin breath before they watch the game. They're officiating. Sorry. Continue.

[01:04:06]

I think the, the officiating in the Rangers Carolina Hurricanes game has been a little series, I should say. Should has been a little more, I think, competent, I think is the correct word in that they're calling everything. When infractions are called, they're calling most things. And there isn't that moratorium because there's been a. A couple times where guys have taken penalties and then aho's come out and 5 seconds later they've negated the power play because they've taken a stupid penalty. So I think there's been so many more power plays in that series.

[01:04:36]

Not, not only is the second round featured power plays, but it's featured power play goals, which I'm frankly not using.

[01:04:42]

So just going back on the actual play here, Connor McDavid skating by Quinn Hughes with his stick up. He skates right by him. Stick up. It's a clear hit in the face with his stick cuts. Quinn Hughes. He goes down, and from this angle, it's even worse. Is this the one? Yeah, that's the, that's the one. We just see he gets him right in the face here. And then not only does Quinn use go to the official, show him the cut, but Conor McDavid sitting on the bench. Nothing's done about it. And I don't know how you walk away from this and you say you do did a good job as an official.

[01:05:19]

Kelly Sutherland had the worst second period of any referee I can remember in. And I said this on the stream and I watched a lot of bad reflects games. The Vancouver Canucks fans know Kelly Sutherland perfectly. He's from Richmond, BC. And I think he goes so hard against a perceived bias. The Canucks have never won a game with him reffing in the playoffs. He's the guy.

[01:05:44]

So he's there.

[01:05:46]

Wes McAuley, do you remember the Sadeen incident in the 2011 finals where Brad.

[01:05:50]

Marchand just speed bagged them? Yep.

[01:05:53]

That was Kelly Sutherland's game. So fans have not forgotten Kelly.

[01:05:58]

Oh, yeah.

[01:05:58]

First of all, that was 13 years ago. He's still at it. Great job, Lee. Good job. But also, if you think this is just us coming up with wild theories. 32 thoughts Elliot Friedman was talking about. I think it's Chris Rooney.

[01:06:12]

The hell is he anyway?

[01:06:13]

He's some guy. And he was talking about Chris Rooney, who I think got a game during the Leafs Bruins series, and he's from Massachusetts, and he was talking about the no win situation that Chris Rooney is in because you'll get Leaf fans, you know, going, what the, you know, there's a dude from Massachusetts officiating this game. That's not fair. And then there's the urge to go out of your way. Maybe like Kelly Sutherland to be like, nope. I'm gonna call this many penalties against the Bruins to prove how not bias Ro and I how not bias it.

[01:06:52]

Bro.

[01:06:52]

Just call the fucking game.

[01:06:53]

Well, and I think it would be all the game. It would be less of a problem if they simply called the game right. And they don't.

[01:06:59]

That's not their job. They're there to be game managers.

[01:07:01]

Yeah, well, and you know, how many penalties do you really want? Do you see how it always goes?

[01:07:08]

All right, I have to be on the show often. People complain about that, but I gotta keep the man on track, okay? My job, it's my duty. It's what I've been doing for eleven years. And that's always helpful. Atmosphere.

[01:07:33]

Max.

[01:07:37]

Aiden is texting me to fix the mix. I'm not sure how to fix the mix. Did I do something? Is there an issue? Why isn't the audio. Testing, testing, testing. How's that? Hello, hello, hello. How's that? Better here. I don't know why I said I that 1930 in the second period, I wanted to do a clap to start there, but Vancouver's gonna have to come out really, really slow on in this period. I think it was actually smart start the big boys for Edmondson because Vancouver needs this to go well. Adam is underwater. Am I still underwater? It's underwater. Testing, testing, testing. Hello. Hello. Is it bad? Still bad. Keep talking. 123-45-6789 what happened to the microphone? I wonder? That's so weird. Okay, you know what? It, let me have a look.

[01:10:54]

Okay. All right. All right. I see what the problem was. Okay. Okay. Well, that makes a lot more sense. Testing, one, two. Testing, testing. Go ahead, buddy. Let's roll it in or we on. Hahaha. Hi, everybody. So there was a connection issue. I don't know. Stuff happens. We're only three minutes into the second period. Jeez. Honestly, all I did was go make a coffee. That's it. That's all I did. Anyway, shout out to the person who was like, bring back Steve. Listen, Steve is not better at tech than me. We're both equally bad. The only person who's good at it of the three of us is Jesse. He built the entire studio. He even built this one and I screwed it up. He's like, don't worry, it's idiot proof. No, it's not, Jesse. Oh, no. Begging to differ, my friend. Beg to differ. Someone said, nice dip in the pool. Didn't miss anything. Well, sure sounded like I was dipping in the pool. That's brutal. Sorry about that, guys. Thanks for letting us know. I couldn't even hear it. Lift weights and forks. Hello from Halifax. What's up? What part of Halifax? Tell me what street you live on.

[01:12:14]

Are you Dartmouth, or are you Halifax proper, or are you Muscadobut county? Well, it's technically Halifax Regional Municipality. Yes. Do I still keep in touch with Jax? Yes, I do, Jackson. I still do a version of ghosted called left on red. You can find us on instagram. We do a bunch of stuff. And we're also on tick tock, too. Jesse has to be good at tech because he works with two boomers. It's honestly not untrue. Like, I can't even be upset about that. That is a very, very accurate statement, and I I need you to send that to him. He needs to know that he's appreciated Brock Besser in front of the net. WHOOP. That's the first real good five on five play I've seen the Canucks make. That actually leads to a scoring chance in this game. They have to do better. The lotto line back together here. Well, not quite, suitor, but Patterson's out there. I just want to see. I do want to see the lotto line together at some point. Lift weights and forks lower. Sackville. What's up, Lord Sackville? I used to live in Clayton park. Whoa. Teddy blue here.

[01:13:24]

Big, big bomb from Teddy blue. Didn't know we had it in him. Calvin Pickard. Looking solid. Adam. How pay overpaid is Darnell nurse? Oh, what would if Darnell nurse's market value was there today? Like, you got to think. You got to think of it like this. Nikita Zadorov is probably going to be a $7 million defenseman. Is is nurse any different? And you got to remember, nurse signed that contract, like, two, three years ago, right? So they were expecting him to get better. And I know he's had some nagging injuries and things, but hasn't panned out. Perhaps, though I would say nurse this offseason would be a seven, seven and a half. Big, tough, scary. You know, I think part of the problem with Darnell nurse, if I'm going to nitpick, is the fact that he's paired with, for my money, a good person, but not a great defenseman. I hate taking. I don't. I take a lot of shots at Cody Cece and it's unfair, but I constantly am questioning how people much smarter than myself are putting this player in a position to fail. Like, you know, it's not that he's not an NHL defenseman, it's that they put him in like, key minutes and like, dubious was like, oh, no, he was really good in Toronto and like, Edmonton took him and then resigned him and they never had to.

[01:14:49]

I'd like to see Darnell nurse with a much more mobile defenseman who plays intelligent defense like somebody who can move a puck. So. So if you want to get maximum value out of Darnell Nurse, stop signing Cody CC to what, $3 million or whatever. He's got another year after this one, doesn't he? Like another one of those head scratching Ken Holland, did you ever look at advance numbers ever before you sign that deal? So I, you know, nurse gets a lot of the shit because he makes 9.25. But yeah, Cece's making 3.25. That's not what that defenseman is like. I look at Timothy Lilligran in Toronto, right shot defenseman. Oh, she loves big. So. So Cody CC is a right shot defenseman. So you pay a premium for that, right? You do pay a little bit more. And I know Cody Cece was about to go to the open market, but Cody Cece at 3.25 and Timothy Lillegren at 1.4 million, most people will tell you Timothy Lilligran is a better defenseman, just better overall, better skill, better upside, younger, whatever, all that stuff. He's making 1.4. I don't see how Cody Cece's making more than double.

[01:16:09]

I don't get it. And I know he wasn't an RFA when he signed it, but like 2,000,002.5, something like that. Maybe good little, good little play there, by the way. Anyway, I do feel that Darnell nurse could use somebody else on his thing. And I bet you Edmonton on their shopping list this summer puts a defense partner in the top four for nurse. They need a right shot d. Who doesn't? Whoa. And they need a goalie. They do not need forwards. They're good on the forward thing. Although I think they could find more useful forwards, like spending 3 million or three point whatever on Connor Brown was. Again, what do you say? And this is a really good team we talked about. Leon dry said a little earlier he needs to see that money spent better. He does. Aaron Grace, that's the issue with Edmonton's books, they have a lot of good money. McDavid, dry saddle, Hyman echolm. Yeah, all those guys are on just steals of contracts. There's an argument to be made that. Well, I don't even know if there is an argument to be made is Conor McDavid is the best value contract in the NHL.

[01:17:36]

Is it the most for your money? Probably up there. And a lot of bad money that offsets the good money. CC and Campbell. Yeah. Yeah. You know, a good strategy is to not take the Leafs cast offs every year. I don't know if you know this or not, but the Leafs have not seen a lot of success in the playoffs. Not sure if you've been watching them, but it's true. Good row on nearly $10 million. He badly needs some help. Yeah, but Columbus sucks and they run their organization poorly. And yeah, I heard today, by the way, or it's been, it's been reported that as a part of their interview process, it doesn't mean he's getting the job, but Mark Flippin Berjavan was interviewed by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Can you imagine? He brought PlD to Los Angeles. That worked out well. Maybe he'll bring PlD back to Columbus. Icing against the Oilers here. Vancouver with a much better start. But I got to say, Edmonton's playing some stingy defense. I like the, the pairings they've gone with tonight. It has made a difference. Nurse CC, I think we're just getting skated into the ground a little bit.

[01:18:55]

And now, I mean, nurse and Deharnay, just gigantic and mean and tough. That's not a fun night. And they can, they got wingspan. They can cover some ice. Kulak, CC, limit the minutes. Excuse me. Kulak is a good defenseman. Cece is a good defenseman. But that's where CC should be. Your five six. Nothing wrong with that. You need good five six, but you know, you should that. Those are the guys that. That's where you need to be playing them. We'll see if Vinny de Hernay's perceived lack of speed, is it perceived or is it real? And inability to move the puck at an elite level plays a part in this, too, because I know at comb, Bouchard have been amazing. But, you know, part of me wonders, like, I know they tried. They tried Nurse Bouchard for a while, didn't they? That didn't go so well. I don't know. I think you're kind of stuck with what you're stuck with. Also worth noting that Troy stetcher is sitting on the sidelines for Edmonton. So if they don't like the pairings today, oh, here comes nurse pass turnstiles. Ian Cole. Oh, man. Oh, what a save by Sheloff.

[01:20:05]

Did not know where the puck was. Nurse had a couple of beauty chances. Give him credit. He was off like a rocket. It wasn't the fastest foot race ever, but it didn't, didn't need to be. He was faster than the guy next to him. And sometimes that's all you need. Damn. 1126 in the second period, by the way. 1120. 511 20. 411 20. 311 20. 211 21. If we're aligning streams when there is another face off, don't worry. I will clap. My coffee is really hot. Really, really hot. Here's Carlson. Who else is having a coffee with me? Who's staying up late? I know. We got some Halifax, Nova Scotia. We got a Halifax, Nova Scotia, where it's already almost midnight. I would love to know where else everybody's coming in from. Ethan. Hey, Adam. Going through my first breakup, the last couple of months have been rough, but watching the stream is making my day a little better. Ethan, we're happy to have you along, buddy. And I'm sorry to hear about the breakup. Those are always really, really hard. Take it from the divorced guy. That's even worse. I'll tell you, but I'll tell you this, too.

[01:21:16]

Summer is on the way, and I want you to get out there, and I want you to meet people. And I'm not talking about day people. I'm talking about meet people. Meet cool people. Cool people who make you feel good, who build you up. What's that saying? Pay attention to what you feel like when your friends are around. If you feel good, then they're good friends. If you don't feel good, something to consider. Ooh, nice little breakup there by Jules and Leon drysaddle. I think you know Gretzky had his office behind the net. Leon's is just below the face off circle there. He's always there. Back home with a shot tipped high. Still in, man, Vancouver. Their legs are burning. They need, need knee, need a whistle. Look at Zidorov. He can barely move. You're just, you know, when you're. You're doing, like, a leg day and your thighs are just sizzling, the lactic acid is building up. You're dying on that. You're going to feel this shift tomorrow. Just get that whistle, man. I bet they wish that that puck had left the zone. You're going to have to block some shots here, boys, because you're barely moving.

[01:22:30]

Carlson, McKay of Patterson out there, she loves with a save. Oh, man. Goalie bailing them out. McDavid is almost exclusively looking to pass. This is from Dean T. But, oh, thinking he has a core injury. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's a. It's a good question. I haven't. He hasn't been his dominant self, although he's been very good. 10:00 p.m. In Chicago. Where else? Well, what else? Where else is everybody tuning in from? We got a Chicago, we got a Halifax. Where's everybody coming in from? I want to know. Oilers have one line. Shut them down. You win easily. Come on, Knox. See, here's the thing. Oilers actually have two. It's. It don't erase Nugent Hopkins, Evander Kane. They do have two lines. They would have had two better lines. I know that they put new jump with McDavid and Hymen, but, you know, they're going to put. And they have been switching dry saddle in. The thing is, like, you got Kane dry. Seidel and Dylan Holloway, Adam Henry. Being out doesn't is not good. We got Maine, we got Charlotte, we got San Antonio, Mill Bay, BC Oakville, Windsor, southern California.

[01:24:06]

Where in southern California? Southern California is huge. Louisville, Knoxville, South Carolina. Again, 09:00 p.m. And Yellowknife. What's up, Burns Lake, BC Bowmanville. What's up, Bowmanville? We were just there. Dubai, new. Is the new hockey town. Yes. Love seeing people from Dubai. I have been there. I went to 104.4. Virgin radio. That's right. It's 104.4. Was there like 15 years ago. Got to hang out with Chris Fade, who is like a big star over there. And he's on that show Dubai bling now because he's a star. Burnaby, BC, Nashville. Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Patrick Hamils. Hello, sir. Hello, Patrick. Fredericton, Switzerland. Where in Switzerland? Scylla. Where? Port dover. Shizuka. Shizuka, Japan. Wow, look at that. Dayton, Ohio. Yeah. What's up, Davin? Been to Dayton? My wife is watching from Iran, if that counts. Yes, it does count. Absolutely, it counts. By the way, it's benefit of a quiet game. 936 left in the second period, and I just missed another face off to clap. Producer Hayden's gonna be like, what the hell? This guy is the worst at this. And he'd be right. He'd be right. He'd be right. I'm the worst. 923 left. Leon Dreisidl. Evander Kane.

[01:25:31]

Oh, it wasn't a Vander Kane. Why did I say Evander Kane? Wow. Was it a mandatory? It's my. Do my eyes deceive me often? All right, here we go. Ronick deep. I can't believe Philip Kroneck has not had a playoff point. That's crazy. After the season he had. I know he got cold at the end, but still. Oh, Vancouver is. I saw a little bit of a shades of the Edmonton Oilers power play there. Did you see what Dakota Joshua just did? Come and streaking in? They might be copying that play a little bit. It's a good play. Good, good shift here for the Lindholm line. They've looked good all series. Here we go. Garland. Garland. Shoot the damn puck. Garland. Shoot the puck. Shoot it. Quinn Hughes. Found you, buddy. Oh, you waited too long. Oh, man. Quinn Hughes just found a beautiful seam there. That was crazy. Hughes is just walking around. Euler's in there. Ronick. Wow. Here comes Garland back in, end of the shift, still skating around, still handling the puck. I love this guy. That guy is a Kyle Dubas guy, I'm telling you. And I, in that regard, I would agree with Kyle Dubas.

[01:27:18]

Conor Garland is awesome. I love this player. The door off with a big slap. Brett Kulak has been out there for almost two minutes and 30 seconds. They are just. He's just dogging it. Oh, big save by Cal Pickard, who has a shutout. This is his first playoff start, by the way. Let's, let's go into producer Hayden put together some great stats for the game. So, interestingly, through three games here, Edmonton were out shooting Vancouver 94 to 61. Block shots by Vancouver. This is how many opportunities Edmonton is getting. Vancouver is blocked, has blocked 54 to Edmonton's 24. It's. It's very much, Edmonton is very much doing its offensive duty. Where they were losing was in goaltender, and you're seeing it now, at least four now. Calvin Picker is looking good. Best lines for both teams. Obviously, for Edmonton, it's pretty obvious. Hyman McDavid, dry saddle Vancouver according to, you know, expected goals, suiter, Miller Besser. Best defensive pairs for both teams. Not really surprise either. Quinn Hughes, Phil Hironic, and in Edmonton, Matthias Ackhome, Evan Bouchard. Yeah, they're pretty good. It's kind of wild that Edmonton ever went to the playoffs without Bouchard or, or, like, home has been so big for them.

[01:28:59]

That was a doubt highlighted Ken Holland's time in Edmonton. Was that trade that was a hell of a trade. I'm curious about. Curious about this. Want to know? I don't know if there's time. I'd love to know what the numbers are for the nude Edmonton defense pairs. They have to be looking good. There has to be solid numbers on that because, like, they've done a good job of shutting Vancouver down today. Vancouver was eating nurse cc up. We saw that reading the chat hereman, Milburn. I just want a canadian team to win the cup. It's a shame. It's been 30 years. Agreed. Now you are a better canadian fan than, than most. Most canadian fans would be like, if we don't win, screw the rest of those guys, which that's being a fan. Okay, here's Miller. The big boys are out for Vancouver. Zidorov and Quinn Hughes. Interesting pairing like that. They have done this a couple of times. Besser. Miller, Besser. They've been dangerous all series. Oh, looked good there, but there was an Edmonton foot in front of it, suiter in the corner. This is the first real sustained pressure we're seeing from Vancouver in this second period.

[01:30:41]

You know, we saw a little bit earlier, but we're seeing it now over and over and over again. This is where Vancouver does. They never give on that. They're always pushing, but they're going to need more of this. They need shots and they need bodies in front of the net. And with Darnay out there, it's difficult to do because he's gigantic. By the way, if I play with my nose, I apologize. The allergy season just killing me. Just killing me. Hot take up Taniv into Foley at the deadline. They win the cup. Yeah, and they were there the whole time. Isn't that wild? It does go to show sometimes the coaches what makes a difference. Lindholm is going to try to find garland here. Joshua, all the shot doesn't get on. Boy, lots of good little tips and blocks for Edmonton in the last few minutes here. They've really shut down some serious offensive opportunities. Vancouver is looking better and better. And did that puck hit the glass or we get. No, it's not a puck over glass. Why don't the Canucks like to shoot? I don't know. Connor Garland should have. Oh, bouchard. Good.

[01:31:53]

Good play on Joshua there. Adam, do you think the Kains will reverse sweep the Rangers? No, I do not. I do not think. But it would be fun, wouldn't it? Think about the headlines. Rangers fans would melt down. I don't know if there are any in the chat tonight, but Rangers fans would melt the f down. DC went to a disco on Friday and tried your suggested dance moves. That would be biting the bottom lip, putting the thumbs up. Nothing that women love more than that. I was kindly asked to leave. Might I have been doing it wrong? Biting bottom lip and both thumbs. It should be both thumbs. One thumb is unbalanced. You must have two thumbs to balance each other out. One goes up, one goes out, you know. Right. So we're doing this and we're up. Right. And you can. Then you can get the whole palm out when you need to get your hands up in the air. When you have to put your hands up in the air. Right. Do you know what I'm saying? I'm sorry that it didn't go better for you, DC. I don't know what could have happened.

[01:33:04]

They always work for me to fully want five to six years max that was reported to where he wanted to stay in New Jersey. Yeah. Listen to fully, to fully is a great goal scorer. And I wonder is, is Tivoli the new Pavelski? Because remember, people called, by the way, Robert is in the chat. So I can't diss to Foley even if I wanted to, because Robert would have my head. This is one of his favorite players. So to Foley this year, 33 goals and 55 points. That's if you can get that player for five or 6 million, that's not bad. The problem is that he's 32 and if he wants four years, you're expecting some sort of drop off. Now that deal gets better. Like you have to remember that the, the, the mid mark contracts, the middle class of the NHL, those are the contracts that usually kill you. Right? It used to be that if you had a bunch of $5 million, $5 million players, you just were dead in the water. That used to be the Leafs. They were terrible. But if you sign a deal like that now, in three to four years, that deal is going to take a significant hit in terms of what the percentage of the cap is.

[01:34:32]

And that's how these teams look at it internally. They don't look at the number. They go, what's the percentage that this player will be taking off of my cap? And can I stomach that? And as to Foley gets older, you know, is foot speed an issue? Can you, can you play them on the third line to get some depth scoring, you know, when he's season 36? You know, Pavelski was such a great example. I was mentioning earlier of a guy who was what, 34, 35 when he stuck signed with the Stars and has been just lights out. What a great signing. Would love to see to fully needs to go to Edmonton and then Toronto so he can play for every canadian team. Yeah, it didn't really work out so well for him in Winnipeg, eh? I thought that was going to be a match made in heaven. It just not a fit. Sometimes that happens. Lindholm didn't look like a fit in Vancouver. They tried to trade him at the deadline. They just got him, and now he's been great. Good thing that sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make. Here's nudge.

[01:35:37]

Who she loves did not know where that was. 1813 of the shots. 441 left in the second period. Now the lease have a $10 million payer problem. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they do. It's a good problem to have. Um, Dan led six. Six goers go. Indeed. Indeed. Dan. I have to be honest. This is the most boring game of the series by far. By far. She logs MkI sheloffs. Ooh. By the way, there have been suspiciously few updates about Casey to Smith and Thatcher Demko, haven't there? Like, if the Canucks make the third round and Thatcher's healthy, do they give him the net? If Thatcher Demko faces down McDavid and dry saddle and gets through this series and wins, can you give Thatcher Demko the net back? I don't think so. Yeah, these streams are less boring because Adam isn't as biased towards the Canucks. Well, listen, the Canucks have. The reason I've been biased towards the Canucks is I've been complimentary of the team that's won the most games in the series. I think that's what it is. But if I'm being honest with you, if either of these teams were playing the Leafs, I would not be true.

[01:37:27]

Oh, here we go. Oh, boy. Sorry, my mic cracked there. Wow. See, Evander Cade almost had one. See, I was almost right. That was one of my picks for goals, I think of Andrew Cain, and I thought JT Miller, because he took that silly penalty in the first, which led to dry side was goal, which has been the difference. Three oh eight in the second period. To be fair, I haven't been hearing anyone asking for updates read to Smith. No, I haven't either. Helen. I haven't either. She lost. Been amazing. Guess you don't have to ask when the goalie's good. I have to tell you, in Toronto, we turn that into a controversy. Well, do you give it to the. We'd be talking about that all day. Why would you do answer our Twitter poll? What this game needs is a controversial goalie interference slash no call Evan Kennedy. You're right, Evan. We need something that we can scream about tomorrow. By the way, it was sort of, it was so fun as an outsider, and I admittedly am. Oh, big hit there, Corey Perry, who's been relatively quiet in the series. I it was funny watching because, you know, media, if you're like a journalist and I'm not a journalist, if you're a journalist, you're supposed to be somewhat unbiased.

[01:38:50]

You're supposed to look at the team unbiased. And we all have our biases. And if you watch the same team 82 nights a year, you're probably going to be a little bit biased in their direction. That's just human nature. But it was so funny watching the media reaction to both Susie. Well, just to the same event, to sue C suspension, everybody in Edmonton was like, yeah, probably should have been more. Everybody in Vancouver is like, this is ridiculous. I can't believe this is even happening. And the rest of us, all 30 other fan bases and media are going well, Petrangelo got one game. So if they, if both sides hate the suspension, if both sides hate it, then it's probably close to the right suspension, right? Maybe, you know, it's like a compromise. Both sides kind of don't like it. And that's how, you know, you kind of found the compromise. We can't post the clock to sync it up, but I can tell you that we got 106, 105, 104, 103, 102, 101. 1 minute to go in the second period. Listen, I was wondering why they kept playing Ian Cole. And I'll be honest with you now, having seen Joelson.

[01:40:08]

Oh, big hit, baby. Forget what I said. Oh, no. Oh, I was just mentioning him. He goes for the hit. And that allows Nooch and McDavid to go in. And with 39.8 seconds to go, ladies and gentlemen, the Edmonton Oilers are up to nothing. Oh, man. Nikita's door. I've given him some words of encouragement. There's, that was a snipe. 19 you're banging on. That was a snipe. Jewelson goes for the hit. Oh, man. You know what? Listen, everybody's going to be mad at Joulson for this. Technically, it isn't his fault that the puck deflects over to nooch. And here's what I will say to like, is that really like when I see his hit on Ekholm, Holmes just makes the move before the shot, and then she loves, has a clear look at at Nuge. You kind of need a save there. You kind of need to save there. Oh, all the boys are chewing on the mouth guards. Let's go. We got it. There's the face off. 39 seconds to go. I think, I hate to say this, Vancouver fans, you need a save there. You need to save there. I'm not saying it's his fault.

[01:41:33]

You need to save there. If he, if a goalie is a straight shot, look at the guy come out, angle him off. And I know McDavid's there, but Tyler Myers is gigantic. You're hoping he'll break up the pass. Yeah. So I don't, I know Joelson's going to take a lot of crap for that and maybe I'm completely wrong here, but Akholm got the pass off before Jules and hit him. But there's no way Jules and could have anticipated that, you know? 29. 27.7 left. Here we go. Gonna give you a clap. Here we go. Oh, no, no. Because the reference. Yeah. Linesman did not retract the buck. There we go. That's an unstoppable shot. Adam, he's out of his crease. Just a fantastic shot. Yeah, true, Zach, true. I just don't want to like, I feel like Jules and I don't think his play was egregious there. I don't. And give Newt credit, man. Great player. Oh, great player. That Juleston hit reminds me of the Zadorov one for the Flames a couple of years ago. Is that the one? Yeah. Bin Tang, warrior, premature clap. Not something that's recommended, let me tell you. 6.6 seconds left in the second period, ladies and gentlemen.

[01:43:20]

Cadets have been ghost tonight. Where's Ep Miller? Investor. I think that Vancouver doesn't know what to do with these new defense pairs. Edmonton's been very stingy. They've pushed them the outside. Edmonds or canucks are not getting bodies to the net. They're not getting shots through. Full, full marks to Edmonds. And this is the best defense we've seen them play. They've been great. So we're finished two period. The second period, 22 to 14 of the shots. Vancouver's got to make a decision when they go to the dressing room, like, obviously targets going to chat with them or whatever, but these guys have got to make a decision. Do you want to take a stranglehold back home? Do you want to go home with the series on the line and win it in front of your fans or do you want to guarantee that you're coming back to Edmonton? Because that's where we're at and I just think they should maybe consider on a show in the third period. I'm also hoping for that because this game's been kind of slow. Kind of slow. It's one of those games. It's not great. It's not great. Body language is bad for Vancouver.

[01:44:42]

This is from Zach. Hopefully they come out buzzing. Say it, Adam. Yeah. Let's go. Oh, you want me to say it? Let's go. Let's go. I don't want to break the microphone. See what moderate quality goaltending does for Edmonds and true yo. But also see what good quality defense does for a goalie like Stuart Skinner was. Listen, the shots were not great that he let it. But. But Stewart Skinner has not got defense like Calvin Pickard has gotten. Edmonton looks like a different team in front of him. We saw it. Okay, I'm going to. I'm going to make it about the Leafs again. But, but bear with me because the Leafs did have true goaltender issues this year. And I remember when Sammy was really struggling in November, December and they put Joseph wall in and when they put Joseph wall in, the Leafs played so much better in front of him and they were confident, ready to go. And, you know, obviously wall got hurt, but the same thing happened again in the playoffs. Sammy started to get. He just. You needed, you needed a. You needed a save. And the Leafs, when Will played, he was amazing and they were amazing in front of them because they were confident.

[01:45:52]

Edmonton looks confident in front of their goaltender tonight. They're playing great defense, but dude, they do look like a different team tonight. BURPS McGurps. It's a good name. Feels like Dallas with playoff. Otter and Wyatt Johnson will be tough to beat for either of these teams. They might just be the favorite. Yeah. It is feeling like a Dallas New York final, doesn't it? Now I understand that we haven't seen what Florida and or Boston might look like against the Rangers should they get in because Carolina is not out yet. But it just feels like New York's New York and Dallas might be inevitable. I don't know. We'll see. Adam, at what fan. At what point does Lfr become HFr? You know, like. You mean like a hockey fan reaction just to like anything? Ooh. I mean, it'd be fun. I don't know. You know, Steve does such a spectacular job with that. It's very, very difficult to duplicate that format. Not that you shouldn't try, but like, I feel like if I did a fan reaction video, people be like, what is this? Like he's so the thing about Steve is he's very, very quick, very funny.

[01:47:20]

So I'd have to do it in like a. Like the way I do these streams. Like, steve's very amped up. He's calling the game. He's doing this. I look at these as like they're a hangout session. We're all hanging out. We're watching the game together. It's Tuesday night, and we're enjoying it. And so. Yeah. Or SDPN. Hayden, fan reaction. Now, that would be good. That'd be producer Hayden. I'm sorry, but whoever wins this series, I believe, will lose to Dallas and or Colorado. They're too good. You might not be. You might be right. The one thing I will say is, going into this series, everybody is like, oh, Edmonton's going to crush Vancouver. And I think there's a lot of people outside of Vancouver did not watch the Vancouver series. I get it. You're watching your own team. But I did. And they were opportunistic and very, very strong against a Nashville team that was brutal, so boring, brutal on defense. And by brutal, I mean they were so good, but not good at anything else. Overtime winners. Adorov doesn't fight, only cheap shots. You know, to be honest with you, though, if Zidorov did fight, who's an even match for him?

[01:48:34]

Like Dharnay? Like, that's it, right? Seaweed man. Everybody else is like, what? You know, most people on the ice, 6263. Zdorov is huge. He's like, 6768. So you're. You're giving up for most players, four or five inches. I don't know. I don't know why. Siri. Siri just checked in with me there. You. Siri ever just go off? Anyway, I'm gonna throw on a clip for you. Take a little breather, finish up my coffee. Here's what we got. CJ show who will be the Leafs next coach. Have a listen. CJ and Julian discussing the Leafs next coach. As I'm sure Vancouver and Edmonton fans want. You want Leafs content. And here you go. Speaker two. We have to do a really quick Leafs corner here. What's the latest on who the next head coach is going to be?

[01:49:35]

Well, Craig Brubey was in Toronto over the weekend, had a couple different meetings with Leafs brass. You know, I still have the view that he's probably the favorite for this job. Ticks a lot of obvious boxes. As a former Stanley cup winner, experienced coach, I think someone who might know how to tighten the whip a little bit to deliver a message in a stern way. So he had first crack at sort of the interview process. Todd McClellan is next up on deck, and I'm not really sure if there'll be another candidate that ends up being considered beyond that. We'll see how things go. We'll see if anyone else shakes loose, like a Rob Brindemore, for example. If there's any world where he becomes available, maybe, you know, he gets in the mix there. You know, maybe there's a world where they get through these two interviews and like, you know what? We're not totally 100% sold on one or the other, you know, but at this point in time, Brubay McClellan certainly are the favorites and Brubay has already been through for some discussions and now Todd McClellan gets a chance to do the same.

[01:50:37]

And, you know, based on what Brad True living said on Friday when, when he met reporters alongside Keith Pelley and Brendan Shanahan, don't expect this to necessarily be a long search for the Leafs. I don't think that they're going to talk to 15 candidates and stretch this out over a period of time. I think they recognize where they're at on the calendar, that there are other teams out there that have talked to these candidates. Brube has spoke with New Jersey. I think he's going to get a crack at the Winnipeg job just in terms of having a discussion there. And so we'll kind of have to see how everything shakes down. But I think that's sort of where the coaching thing is that, and that's, you know, that's the next big and important decision in Toronto. And then we'll get on to what they're going to do with the core four or the core five or, you know, any, any larger roster kind of decisions that need to come down the pipe here.

[01:51:28]

We need to interrupt Leaf's corner. It sounds like this is from Elliot Freeman. Sounds like there will be a hearing for Carson, Susie.

[01:51:36]

Yeah, I mean, which.

[01:51:39]

I mean, you know, CJ kind of told you that was probably going to happen.

[01:51:44]

Yeah. You really have to galaxy brain it to not give him one.

[01:51:48]

Yeah, I could understand that. But look, this is going to be. People are going to argue both sides of this. It is what it is. Do we have a. Unless you were going to. You were going to add something, but could we lump in Sheldon Keef and the fact that New Jersey has come up as a possibility for the head coach?

[01:52:07]

Well, the devils certainly are interested and, you know, I think the big decision for Sheldon Keef is, does he want to work again this soon. And, you know, that's a. That's probably not an easy decision to make. I mean, he's. He's got two more years under contract from the Leafs, so he doesn't have to worry about, you know, his family or any of those other things. You could imagine how stressful. I mean, every coaching job is ridiculously stretch stressful. But I do think, you know, doing it in a place like Toronto with the media attention, with every one of your comments being dissected and interpreted and, you know, there's a lot of little mini controversies that come out of being the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs who speaks two or three times a day. You know, he may elect to take some time. I don't have any reason to believe he's made that decision, but certainly the devil's have interest in him. And I think Sheldon keef quite honestly, is in a position where he can be a little bit picky. It's not to say he wouldn't want to go to New Jersey, but maybe the timing isn't right so much.

[01:53:06]

And, you know, you can't tell me someone who has the points percentage he has after 350 odd NHL games. Coach won't have another chance to coach a good team. And so, you know, we'll have to see how that, that bounces together. And, you know, I don't know that we call him the lead candidate in New Jersey. I think the Devils are looking at a variety of people, but certainly they, they'd like to. To talk with Sheldon and, you know, it's really down to is he ready to jump right back into the fire after what he's been through? And so until he makes that decision, it's hard to say where things will go or won't go with, with New Jersey.

[01:53:39]

Okay, we'll be on the lookout for any more stories as it pertains to one Sheldon Keef. Let's go through. Ask CJ real quick here. We got a couple of questions here. Thank you to everyone who sent in questions on discord and on Twitter from Nick Vanny or Vaney, probably Vanny. Status on mordecider and Lucas Raymond extensions in Detroit.

[01:54:01]

Well, it's interesting that Raymond went to the worlds given that he is a pending RFA, not sometimes players are concerned about that. Scored a nice goal there. If you saw for Sweden, don't have any specific news, but I don't think there's a lot to worry about either. I mean, these guys are fully under team control coming off their entry level contracts, as we've seen in many cases. Sometimes it takes time to get those sorts of deals done. Obviously, as after on July 1 or beyond, they're eligible to sign offer sheets. But, you know, I don't. I don't think many teams view that as. As a huge pressure point because we just don't see very many offer sheets signed. And, and if it's. If someone signs you to an offer sheet like the Habs did with Sebastian aho all those years ago, sometimes it just eliminates the negotiation and you just take. You take the terms of that offer and move forward. So, you know, obviously two important port players for Detroit, but I don't have any sense that there's anything going wrong there. Probably not a conversation, though, or any urgency until June.

[01:54:59]

Next one from Jacob Wallet. Simple one. I've been trying so hard as a Bruins fan to take my black and gold blinders off. How is that not goaltender interference? That's obviously a reference to Sam Bennett and Charlie coil in front of the net during their game on Sunday. I don't know how that wasn't goaltender interference either. That was crazy.

[01:55:20]

Yeah. My instincts watching the game in the moment was that that goal was going to come off the board. I thought that it was going to be deemed goaltender interference. You know, this is, this is. We have to highlight this. It's a subjective call, right? It's. There's an interpretation that's. That's made by the. The situation room when those plays are challenged. I think it makes it incredibly difficult for the video coaches who have to, you know, in 20 or 30 seconds signal to their bench that there should be a challenge, just given how important the games are. The fact. I mean, the Bruins ended up killing the penalty that came out of an incorrect challenge there. But it's subjective.

[01:55:55]

It's.

[01:55:55]

It's not entirely black and white. You know, Coyle does appear to be going into the blue paint on his own initially before he's, you know, pushed across. Check there into his goaltender. You know, it sounds as though the situation room deemed that Swayman wouldn't have been able to get over and stop the puck anyway. It's a hard one. It's just. It is. I'm not going to come out. Look at. If I was the fan of that team, I'd be pissed, too. Like, like, I get it. I understand why there's discussion there. I just don't know that I can sit here and say they definitely got it wrong either. But it's, it's, it's a hard one. To challenge. It's a hard, it's a hard one to say what's going to happen because each play isn't quite the same. I mean, you look at the wording of the rule. I mean, if a player gets pushed into his goalie, that's deemed as goaltender interference by the NHL rulebook, and coil certainly got pushed into Swayman. They just viewed that that wasn't, you know, it was part of the play, was it? And it wasn't the reason that there, there was a goal there.

[01:56:54]

So I got it wrong. It should have been. It should have been. I mean. I mean, no, it. I.

[01:57:02]

Anyway, I'm not, I wasn't not reacting. I was like, I'm giving you the floor. Like, no, I just go off, brother. Like, I'm all for it.

[01:57:12]

He pushed a bit of the goalie.

[01:57:14]

Like what?

[01:57:16]

I don't know. I just, I know I'm in the interest of time, I will reserve judgment on that one. But he pushed him into the goal, like, anyway. All right, what do we think? What do we think? Is it Berube? Is it Todd McClellan? They interviewed both. Is it Gerard Galant? Listen, one of these two teams going to lose this series, Vancouver and Edmonton. And what I want to remind you is that in your disappointment, don't overreact because you could always be the Leafs and you don't need that. You don't need to be the Leafs. Be happy you're a second round team. One of you is going to be a third round team. Don't be the Leafs. You don't do that. Man, it looks like a beautiful night in Edmonton. Good for them. It's cold. It's usually cold there this time of year. I mean, it's getting warmer and warmer. I get it. But I have been in Edmonton in May and I've seen it snow. I've seen it snow in July in Calgary. Jeff Cassidy. Jeff Ducharme. Stop it. It's Dom Duchamp. And also, no, as a blues fan, I hope it's brubey for you, J Rock.

[01:58:41]

Is that because you wish us good or ill? What do you think of Barube? Are there blues fans in the chat like J Rock who can tell us what your thoughts on Beru bay are? And by the way, Oilers fans in the chat since Todd McClelland was the other guy that was interviewed, what are your thoughts on Todd McClelland? I would love to know. Those are the two guys. If there are any Kings fans in the chat who remember Tom McClellan, too, I don't know how many Kings fans we have here tonight, you know, love to know what you think. 18 degrees in Edmonton right now. Good for you. God, it's warmer there than it is here. Gallant is basically Laviolette. Wow. Well, Laviolette's doing okay. Snowden may here in Anchorage, not surprising. You did. You did choose Anchorage. You are going to see some snow. Vegas had gallant. He was too soft on the guys. And then we got the cup with Bruce Cassidy. True. I like Perube when he was with the Flyers. Didn't have a problem with him. Todd McClellan was a good man. Did not make adjustments. The Leafs don't need that.

[01:59:52]

We need adjust. We need coaches who can watch. Perube is incredible. You'll love him as your coach. Well liked, very nice here. Or that's McClellan. Very nice. Well liked here in LA. As a Kings fan, you don't want McClellan. McClellan was good in San Jose for a while, but could just never get it done. That's true. Brube and Laviolet are very similar. Anchorage chose me. That's funny. So, okay. Switching gears here because I think. I think it's an important time to switch gears back to the game that we're watching. At the end of the third period, what will be the score, and will it be a tie or will it be a lead? And if it is a lead, then we will have a winner. And if we have a winner, who will that be? How's the third period going to unfold? I want. I want some extremely, very correct opinions, all right? Because one of you is going to be right. Mt. Grimm says for nothing. Oilers. Are you sure? Are you sure? Hmm. Interesting. Two. Two at the end. Three. Three. Oh, you guys think we're going overtime? I don't know if you got how many of you were here for the overtime gaming game, too, but there sure were a lot of people on Friday night into Saturday morning hoping that I would get four straight overtimes.

[02:01:34]

You sickos. Unbelievable. How could you do that to me? It's very late here. Another four three game four. Two Canucks for one Edmonton. Four one Oilers. Four one Oilers. Five three connects. Wow. A lot of goals predicted in the third period, considering it's been a pretty tight game. Here's what I think happens in the third. A penalty gets called on the Oilers within the first five minutes, and Vancouver shot at tying this game. And their most important one will happen then. And then we're going to have a bit of a wrestling match the rest of the way. And assuming nobody really breaks through and gets a lot of traffic in front of the net, which they haven't all night. We're going ot. That's my bet. My bet is we get. We get a power play in the first five minutes. Vancouver scores. They've been pretty good on the power play, except for this game. They've been terrible, actually. They haven't been good in many facets, to be honest. There's been, you know, 510 minutes where the Canucks have been good. Otherwise, the others have just dogged them, completely outplayed them. I'd like to speaker two.

[02:02:49]

Oh, Garland. Then every time that Garland line is out there, something's happening. I'm calling it the Garland line because I think he's the best player on it right now. Linholm's winning all the face offs, but let's be honest. Connor Garland, baby. So I think Vancouver gets one, and then they tie it up. I think Vancouver ties this game, and they ties this game. This game. 43, Edmonton, with Ian Cole scoring every third period goal. I like that idea. 911 or. Sorry, 1911. 1908. Now 1907 on the clock. I did say Evander Cain needs to score. I thought he was going to be the next one to score for Edmonton. NBA therapy. I would like to go to bed. Well, we'll see if it allows you to. I don't know. This isn't the first time Vancouver has been down to going into the third period. True. However, in that game, they looked a lot better. They did. They haven't looked great. All right, here we go. Gonna clap. Edmonton wins the face off. Derek Ryan, who that fourth line is not seen a lot of ice time tonight, and nor should they. But you don't see the Derek Ryan Connor Brown line very much.

[02:04:17]

Not that they've been bad, but Yanmar, Ryan, Connor, Brown, not out there much. You see the blue girl line a lot more as far as fourth lines go. Zidor off. Pinches. Derek Ryan. Yanmark, Connor Brown, all in. Still on the ice. I thought they would have gone for a change. Nuh uh. They're. They're soaking up their ice time when they can get it. Oh, CC pinches, and it just squeaks out. Kulak gets it. Could have been a nice in there, but goes right on the net. Frona gets a little tied up behind the net out to Carlson. There's McLeod pulling it in. Haven't seen much of this line either. Have not seen them be enough of a factor. Corey Perry, you acquire him for the playoffs and the playoffs alone. Haven't seen him be the factory. Needs to be maybe he hasn't been set up for it, but, you know, he was a real factor on, like, the power play in Tampa and, and, and, you know, was very, very good. There was good for Montreal, too. Man, he just ate the Leafs up. Bad memories. Haven't seen him do that for Edmondson yet, at least in this series.

[02:05:43]

Oman hitting Kulak on the, on the far boards. Quinn Hughes. It feels like Quinn Hughes is perpetually on the ice. He's never not playing, doesn't sit down and there's a nice thing. Call and. Oh, no. Carlson. Penalty. What happened? I missed this. Oh, yeah. Yep. That's a hold. Can't do that. That is a rookie mistake. You are in the offensive zone. This is, again, like I said with JT Miller in the first period, you can't bring this Edmonton power play out for something other than a scoring chance against. If you break up a scoring chance and you, and you get a penalty and they were going to score fine. Look at that power play stat. Edmonton is one for one on the power play tonight. How many shots have they had? One, because that's all they need. That's a stupid penalty in the offensive zone. You're a guy that just squeaked into the lineup. You can't be taking penalties like that. And now your big boys have got to burn their jets out. Clearing, killing a penalty. By the way, I was right about one thing. They're oop. Dry side all. Whoa, that was sneaky.

[02:07:03]

She loves had it, but boy, that was sneaky. There was a penalty called within the first five minutes. Just the wrong team. Got the wrong team. Somebody asked in the chat and just, it just went away quickly. If, if she, if Pickard gets the shutout in this game, who do you go with next game? Well, I think already, unless there's some crazy meltdown by the Oilers, and I'm talking like six goals against Cal Pickard is the starter already for the next game. It's not even a question. I would be absolutely like, unless he's injured, I'd be shocked. And that's the thing that can happen in the playoffs, man. You get, you get down to your second or your third stringer. Vancouver knows this, and they start putting magic together for you, and there's no rhyme or reason, and you just have to ride the hot hand. JT Miller, Lindholm. Wow. Three Canucks deep on the PK here. One shot, not bad. 120 left in the power play. Edmonton is currently out shooting Vancouver 25 to 15. Not great if you're Vancouver killing a penalty and then trying to come back afterwards. Haven't really been in this game.

[02:08:11]

It's been their worst game of the series. I would venture to say at this point, unless things change, this is their worst game of the playoffs. And I've seen every Vancouver game. Edmonton's looking like Edmonton. Aaron Grace jokes on USDPN, my favorite team already loses when it matters. I'm assuming we have the same favorite team. Dry saddle in his office. She loves just. What was that? That was crazy. Wow. What a, what a stretch to save that. How does it, how does a person's groin do that? Holy moly. Good save. He's keeping them in this game. They sure are not showing up for him. Zidorov with a good break up there. Dry sidles just been on one tonight and he's, you could tell he's just exhausted and he's sore and he's still making things happen. Man, the more you watch dry saddle, you're like, damn, dude, pay him whatever he wants. Oh, what a save by Sheloffs. Whoa, another toe. Save. That save. The game. That saved the game right there. If Vancouver gets back in this game, we'll be looking at that shot and going, it's a good thing he saved it. Wow. Edmonton could have had two goals in that power play.

[02:09:37]

Easy. Elias Patterson should be a healthy scratch next game. Yeah, I mean, I tried to kind of stick up for him in the Nashville series a little bit because I thought they were playing tight defense, and he's not been a factor. He's not. It's difficult, right? I hate to be like that, but it's. It's four points in. This is his 10th game. Four points, one goal. Remember, goals are more important than assist kids. What the hell? It's crazy what's going on here. He must be hurt, but that really sucks because he played a full season and you just. Miller's got it deep. Suiter behind, out to Quinn, who's, as you would expect, Quinn with a tip. Oh, oh, oh. Suter, how many times have been like, suitor right there, and he just misses it. The guy gets his square. Whoa. Besser just wired one and it didn't go on the net. Oh, dear. Nay and Miller and now nurse. Yeah, of course they go right after him. Two on one and pew. Suitors in there like, guys, guys, stop, stop. As if he's going to do something about it. You've got Cain, Darnay and Nurse on the ice.

[02:11:08]

And then Corey Perry putting the stick up in Bezer's face as though he's cut like the Connor McDavid. That's hilarious. So that's what you get Corey Perry for. Stuff like that. Stuff like that. That was funny. That's creative. You have to be a pest to be a good pest in the NHL, to be a good rat. You got to be creative. I guess in Corey Perry's case, to be a good worm. Miller's pissed. And then nurse is going to come over and hit him. And then Miller's going to hit. See, nurse did a smart thing there. I know this sounds like really stupid, but he sees that JT Miller is frustrated. Look at this, Perry, that's a really, that's a really funny thing that he just, yo, Besser's about to laugh there. I think what Nurse did with JT Miller there was smart. He tried to go to menu penalty. He knows Miller's pissed and he's like, you know what? How about I just, how about, you know, it's like a cat with a little bit of water at the end of the table. That's like, you know how they could, they just kind of go, you don't want me to do this.

[02:12:10]

And then they do it. That's what they did, by the way, face off, 1411 left in the third period and Edmonton is getting one over. Corey Perry's getting cocky. If Vancouver doesn't get back in this game soon. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, Roenick can't hold it at the line. Quinn Hughes is going to be playing every other shift with Phil Roenick, literally the rest of the game, I think. Oh, almost a giveaway there, but okay, this, this mcHay of line has had nothing going all night. Nothing. Part of me wonders because you can't split up the, you can't split up the, the third line. They've been great. I don't even know if I'd call them third line at this point. Lindholm Garland camp split that up. That's been really good. Joshua Mikhayev, Pederson Lafferty. They put Lafferty up there to get something going. I don't know, man. What do you do? How do you get Patterson rolling? You kind of need him to just do it, don't you? I know you're saying that to me in the chat. He's the kind of player that needs to drive his own line, isn't he? If he's hurt, he's hurt.

[02:13:31]

And that sucks. But, like, you know, he had a really good year this year. Playoffs are not looking great and that extension kicks in and he deserves it, by the way. But I can see why Vancouver fans are a little frustrated. Ss knucks are coming back. Patrick Hamos, they are stinking right now. Wow. The two sides of Canucks fandom. Benjamin Johnson, get the lotto line back together. Okay, so let's say you do that, right, just to get Patterson going. You get them some shifts. Who centers your third or your. So if you do that, instantly, Joshua Lindholm and Garland become your second line. Who centers your third line? Do you put Teddy Blue between Mikhail and Lafferty? Do you put Suiter with bluegrassy? Who plays center on that other line that isn't the fourth line? You know, Patterson, you need him to drive. I have to be honest, the guys they've stuck him with, I mean, I love Ilya Mikhayev, but there were so many times in Toronto where you'd be like, dude, he was like stone hands. And then he figured out in Toronto, and this is why you got the big deal in Vancouver, he figured out how to drive the net, and I have not seen him do that at all.

[02:14:57]

He figured out how to drive the net with the puck, something that the Leafs just flat out do not do ever. And whenever they do, like, Tavares had one in Boston, they actually score. And McKay have figured that out. And he scored a bunch of goals and make in Vancouver gave him a good deal. And I just haven't seen him do it at all. Be helpful if he did. Would create some room for Patterson. He could get open, just not a. Not a factor. But this line has been Garland, Lindholm, Dakota Joshua, really good line, really solid. Garland's just had a great series. Oh, scores. Carter Garland. What I tell you, that guy has been buzzing all night long. Couple of games ago, that entire line had a goal. Lindholm, I believe, has points in every single game this series. Damn. Now the game gets interesting. 1306 left in the third period. If you're trying to align streams. And look at this. So it comes with Dakota Joshua. Nice little four. Check over to Conor Garland. Great with the puck. Zidorov just kind of keeps it in. Oh, great back pass by Lindholm. And Garland puts that puck in.

[02:16:14]

Wow. And it looks like it goes off of nurse. And in which, I mean, your defense, man, it's going to happen. Did that just, you know, it's. It sucks, but that's part of playing defense. I'm surprised Connor Garland only has two goals this playoffs. He's been. He's been a real factor for this team. Possession wise, that's an offside. Vancouver immediately puts Miller, Besser, and souter out there and I, and I think that they need to because you got a little bit of momentum going. You really need your big boys to step up. You need JT Miller to make good on that stupid penalty in the first period that led to Leon Dreisidles goal. You need to give him the chance to do that. You got to keep the momentum going. That's really the only other line that's got anything going. And obviously, no, no disrespect to Carlson. Bluegrin, oman but Carlson took a stupid penalty. You're not expecting a lot of goals from those guys. I wonder if Degepe gets back into the lineup for next game because I really liked him and I think they're missing his speed a little bit. I don't. I mean, I know that he's a fourth liner and we're debating fourth liners here, but that's what it comes down to in the playoffs.

[02:17:23]

I liked his game. I'm not really sure why they took him out. I guess obviously they didn't like something about it. I almost wonder, too, like they switched in. Did you sepe for suiter a couple of times against Nashville with Miller and Bester and I wonder if Degi, Sepi and Patterson, could you put McKayev down on the fourth line like he's been? Could you put or where do you put Lafferty down and then you put Giuseppe in there with the speed? I don't know. Oh, Connor, I missed your super chat. I'm really sorry. I don't know what you asked, but please ask it again and I will make sure I get to your super chat, my friend. Sorry about that. Make a over Pedersen. Oh, thought bluegill was going to get one there. This is real interesting. 1133 left in the third period. Ladies and gentlemen. Quinn Hughes is out there again because he's going to be out there the whole time. Quinn Hughes. Phil Roanick. Phil Roanick without a point in these playoffs, only has like three points in his last 21 games, which is wild because he had such a great start to the year.

[02:18:33]

Really had something cooking with Quinn Hughes. They need a point from him. Hey, SDPN chat. If you guys don't mind, just text me what Connor Cahill asked because I haven't seen it and if I miss it again, I feel bad. So please, if I ever miss a super chat, by the way, please, obviously let me know. I never want to do that. Just text it to me. Justin, if you can hate. Matheson texted it to me. Can someone sit Petey down and tell him that he is losing half of his new salary and is going, and it's going to. She loves 12 million. He makes Matthews look like a bargain. Well, Matthews is a bargain. Matthews is the best school scorer of this generation. Uh, like, McDavid's a bargain. Like dry saddle. Super bargain. Even McKinnon at 12.6 million, which is what he's making. McKinnon is a bargain. As he. Or is he? Eleven point 611.6. Yeah, McKinnon's a bargain. All these guys, these big level guys like you go look at Dom's charts on. On. On player valuations, and some of them are a little bit wonky, but, you know, for the best players, relative to the product productivity they bring to the team, they should be making, like, 16 million based on what they bring.

[02:19:50]

But obviously they. They won't because that would hamstring the team, especially McDavid. Man, McDavid. Dry side of those guys should be. It should be like $36 million between the two of those guys. I love Matthews, but I don't know about a bargain. I don't know. Not many. Not many other players that get the same goals per game. There's got to be a way to calculate that. Like, would you divide their salary by 82 games and their goals and points by 82 games and then come out with a number, and then that's kind of a basic number of, like, well, it's goals per game, points per game, and then money per game, which nobody calculates. That should be a stat. Nine. 6915 left. I know Matthews didn't have a great thing, but he was sick and hurt. No excuse. Leaves keep losing. I'm not making excuses for them. Let's see Petey gets something here. Hey, can I. Quick question, guys. Who's scoring next? Are the Oilers going up three one, or is Vancouver tie in this? There's 842 left. Patterson line out there. Offensive pressure. Vancouver's look so much better in this period, and I think it's as Hughes is out there all the time.

[02:21:16]

Patterson, shoot the puck. Shoot it faster than that. Oh, a little bit of a post there. This is good. This is good. This is good. Shift for the Pederson led. Whoa. Roanick on the net. That was a big whoa. Whoa. Wow, Canucks. Good ozone pressure here. Patterson setting up. Over to Garland. Oh, Patterson holds the line. Whoa. Boy. This is a nail biter for the Oilers. Eight minutes to go. Exactly. Zidorov. Oh, Connor Garland out there. He's already got one goal. This line has looked really good. And once you got that second line going, now you. Now Vancouver feels like they're really in this game. There's Garland working his way around day Rna. Darnay is just coming at him with his big arms. Bouchard out there on Dakota. Joshua. WHOOP. Good little shot by garland. Joshua getting into it in front of the net. This is what I can't stand. There's clearly a fight in front of the net. There's clearly a tussle, and they turn the camera to the guy skating to the bench. Let's not do that. It's a scrum. It's the playoffs. Ss Oiler starting to wilt. Patterson. Oh, man, Pickard, good save.

[02:22:59]

Still, I think he should have shot sooner. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think you should have given Pickard a chance to set up. Look at me, the non athlete criticizing everybody. Patterson will get it going, guys. He got it going. See, Connor Cahill called out Patterson and Connor, you got a good shift from him. He heard you. He heard you manifesting a petey goal to tie it. I'm liking the knucks right now. Mooseless. Ha. Non athlete. I know. We're so critical, and I'm like, I'm so bad at this. Do you think we could see a player get max 20% with dry saddle McDavid possibly hitting free agency in the next couple of years? Aaron Grace. No. The reason I say no is that hockey players do understand that there has to be players to play with them. And even though it is unfair, and mathematically, it makes sense for guys that are that good to do that, the risk that you incur, and as a player, just the. The criticism. Imagine, okay, imagine Conor McDavid signs at 20% of the cap, and he has an offseason. I know it's Conor McDavid, but still, even in Edmonton, people be like, dude, Connor, you had to get the extra money.

[02:25:05]

You had to get the extra couple mil. You had to have that. It's. It's. It's something that you got to think about. Like, you know, I've. I think the player that I would look at specifically with this is Marner. Now, he pushed for the absolute maximum amount of money and probably was overpaid. Not probably was overpaid, but the Leafs thought, okay, over time, this contract will make much more sense. And then COVID and all that stuff, and, you know, it never. It never panned out because the cap never went up. But my point in this is fans are not stupid, and they'll give you a hard time every time you have a bad game. Mitch Marner had 99 points last year. Do you think any leaf fan really cares? No. He's still the guy that pushed for every dime and made them wait and hasn't got it done in the playoffs. Sometimes you just don't want that kind of smoke. Sometimes you want to be like, yeah, I could have taken that, but I took less instead because I'm you. I'm here for you, the fan, and I'll buy that. I'll eat that alive. It's delicious.

[02:26:09]

Mmm. Delicious. So, yeah, no, I don't think that they'll do that. And also, you got to remember with McDavid, he can make a lot of money. He can make all that money up in endorsements. And in endorsements, you don't have to pay escrow to the league. Imagine you were making money at your job and out and every paycheck, your business, the business you're working for, you don't own this business, takes your money, okay. And holds it in an escrow account and then says, we have to wait till the end of the year to make sure that both sides made enough money here. That's what NHL players have to do. They make their money, but they get sometimes as high as 10%. Not, maybe not that high, but pretty high, actually. It's been as high as 15% held back by the league so that they can make sure that both sides split at 50 50 evenly. Kind of a weird imbalance, huh? 545 20, 918 of the shots in Edmonton's favor. Hello. Hi. Yes, to the person from Worm town has arrived. I am jealous of the over the Oilers first overall picks that just got wasted before they got a good one.

[02:27:42]

Yeah, it's hard, though. Like, I mean, I think the one that's most egregious for the Oilers is Jakob because it was the owner that made the call, and the scouting staff didn't want to go that direction. They wanted somebody else also. It was at a weird time when, like, everybody was like, you gotta remember, like, didn't get Francis go, like, third that year or a year next to it or whatever. Like, it. There were, it was a big switch in how we looked at drafting, where they just, they used to draft, like, well, he's big. He's not great at hockey, but he's big. They look at it a lot differently now, and I think the Oilers pro scouting staff would be a lot different about that now. Vancouver's look so much better in this period. Like, it's crazy. The difference. Where was this in the first two? We could have had a game. This was a boring game. Oh, we got a breakaway. Evander Cain, she lost out with the poke. Check. What? What? That is a european goalie being aggressive. North american goalies don't do that. That's a euro goalie. Euro goalies do that.

[02:28:53]

Evander Cain just had a breakaway stolen by the goaltender. That was high risk, high reward. And what if he'd even missed the puck? He didn't, though. He didn't. Sheal off, man, they're going to build a stat. They got to name a school after this guy. Wow. Sometimes if you're a goaltender, you don't need to tend the goal. Sometimes you need to tend the breakaway. That was a cool play. You don't see that a lot. Hymen a little bit of pressure here by Edmonton. You can tell that they're playing a little more defensive, but McDavid is still out there. Garland with a shot block. There he is being useful again. Have a bit of a man crushing Connor Garland. Myers, Sidorov are out there. You can tell because they're gigantic. And there's Connor Garland being tiny and shifty. There we go. Juleson's out there giving Quinn Hughes a bit of a breather. You know, it's great that Quinn Hughes is in his early twenties because he can, he can do this all night, and you can probably do that until you're in your mid thirties, and then you just can't do that anymore. He's been everywhere tonight.

[02:30:15]

Good, good. Another shift here for the Patterson line. They need this Carlson up with them. That's interesting. I guess it just wasn't working out with Lafferty. If you're a goaltender, ten center ice. I like that. I'm going to see if I can, if I can remember, I'll get Steve to say that tomorrow. Very true. But couldn't you see the Blackhawks, for example, going to Leon and offering him the max? And on paper, you're just giving him 14 million plus the Felino contract. Yes, I can. I totally can see the Blackhawks going in and saying, you want to play with another generational guy, Leon? How about Conor Bedard? And then it's up to Leon Drysidel, right? Like what? What would he want to do? And I'm sure he and Conor McDavid will have a conversation this summer about. About this. If they're not going to, they should. Because at the end of the day, if you leave if either of them leave, you are giving up a pretty special partnership, right? Like, if you leave, you're probably never going to be reunited again. And yet, to think long and hard about that, you might never be with a player as skilled as either of you.

[02:31:33]

Like, they're one and two in the NHL, for my money. Pretty hard to split that up. Pretty hard to walk away from that, isn't it? Especially if your team's like a goalie away. They probably could, they could probably rebuild their, their second and third pairs on defense. Edmonton. But if you can find another goalie who is a significant upgrade on Stuart Skinner, and you keep Skinner as the guy that plays 35 games a year. I mean, there are, the Oilers are, are still a cup contender for three or four more years at least. You got to try. You got to try. Canucks are still going to win in six. Whether they win or lose tonight. Jojo Wilson. Big prediction. Big prediction. What about Chicago? McDavid? Dry saddle? Bedard. They would have nobody else playing for them. Everybody else is on league men. Rocky Zim, Markstrom. I don't know if Cal Cali's being there. So they're playing quay with Markstrom. Typical Calgary fashion. They're the, whenever you talk about Calgary, you have to talk about how involved the owner is. He's very apparent, reportedly very involved. And they really, they really messed up the Markstrom relationship.

[02:32:56]

He did not want to wave that. No trade. And they go to him. They go, please wait. Wave, you're no trade. And then they don't get the deal done. And he was pissed and he talked about it. And I think that relationship can be mended, but I also think it will it ever be the same? You can say sorry, but you never really forget, right? Empty net, by the way, with the Vancouver Canucks. But I just wonder if they probably wouldn't trade him to Edmonton unless it was a king's ransom, is my point. 215 left in the third. We got to face off in the offensive zone. Are we going to ignore that bedard was -44 this year? Of course we are. Who cares? It's plus minus. Blackhawks are terrible. Look at Simone Benoit. No, I'm not comparing him to bedard, but his numbers were garbage with the Anaheim Ducks. Comes to Toronto, has a great year, finds a home, advanced numbers. All of a sudden, good. Why? Because he was on a good team. Okay, here we go. 213. There's a face off. Vancouver wins six men on the ice. Respect that they started with six men on the ice, that they didn't pull the goalie back off.

[02:33:59]

Oh, nice little shot from Quinn Hughes. I love this camera angle. That sports that had you were seeing that shot tipped and everything. It was fun. Lindholm there. Edmonton is all over Vancouver. They are really aggressive on this, using their skating. Oh, gloved by Pickard. 147 left in the third. Yeah, plus minus doesn't really count on bottom dwelling teams and rookies. Well, I would just say I would just kick it to bottom dwelling teams. Most advanced stats that are publicly available on super bad teams like San Jose. Nobody's going to look good on San Jose, but there are good players on San Jose. The privately available stats that are far more sophisticated will give you a better understanding, but you have to spend a lot of money to get them, so you do what you can with the publicly available ones. These excuses for bedard are laughable, man. Are you calling out bedard? He's like 18. Yeah, I'm sure he'll be okay. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about Macklin Celebrini on the freaking sharks, man. They're not good either. Okay, we got a timeout from Vancouver. 147 to go. Rocky's in.

[02:35:16]

Bedard is amazing. No, I don't think he is. Did you see that? He was -44 garbage. Crap. You know what? They should give him back. They should just send him back. All right. 147 ago in the game. Can Vancouver tie this baby up? Calvin pickard's been real good. Edmonton's defense has been real good in front of him. This is going to be big. It's going to be a big game. Big little Pederson on the face off draw. This is the biggest face off of the series so far, and Patterson needs to win this. He does win it. Besser back to Hughes to Besser. Oh, they score. Who did that go off of? Best are on a funny angle. I can't tell if it went off of one of the Vancouver players or one of the Edmonton players, but if it does go off an Edmonton defenseman, that's the second time today a Vancouver goal has been scored off of a tip by an Edmonton defenseman, Brock Besser, who's been absolutely stellar. You know, it's a shame. Here we go. We're going to have a look at it. Did it go off of somebody? Besser? Let's slow it down.

[02:36:34]

Goes off of day rna. It looks like it goes off to Dakota. Joshua, skate. Or is it Darnell? I think it goes off of one of the Vancouver skates. That might be a Lindholm one. I have to. I also have to say that, uh. Damn, that was great, man. I guess we're going overtime, guys. I guess we're going overtime, guys. Brock Besser. Okay, so they're crediting the goal to Brock Besser right now, although they did that last game, too, and. And. And then they gave it to Lindholm later. Brock Besser's performance in game three was really overshadowed by susie's cross check to McDavid's teeth. And I get it, you know, that was the biggest thing in the game. But Brock Besser has been spectacular for the Canucks in this series. He wasn't great for the first two periods tonight, but the whole team was bad. Here we go. So Besser. So Hughes Besser shot. I think it goes off of Dakota Joshua, but I'm. I could be wrong. Oh, no. Yeah. No, it's Dakota Joshua's heel. Yeah, they're going to. They're going to change that call. But even so, best has been great. Nice play.

[02:37:44]

And you know what I like about the Canucks? They throw the puck@the.net. And they get bodies to the net. Wouldn't that be great? Couldn't be my team. Couldn't be my team. Couldn't be. Wow. 103 left in the third period. Evander came with a huge hit on Philip Roenick. This game isn't over. There's still 55 seconds. Oh. Bank or Edmonton keeps it in. The big boys are out. Evander Cain, Leon dreisl out to the point to Bouchard. Oh. The Edmonton Euler score with less than 50 seconds to go. Evan Bouchard. Holy smokes. 38.1 second on the clock, and we got a big game for potential. Winning goal from Evan Boucher. Potentially tipped. I haven't seen it yet. Oh, baby. Oh, wow. Wow. More like heaven, Bouchard. You know what I'm saying? Oh, my God. So this all starts with a Vander Kane crushing Phil Roanick. The Canucks are playing a little slow on the defensive side. Wow. That shot just beat. She loves. That is. That is just a straight up good shot. Bit of a knuckler, like, a bit of a wobble to it. She loves. Sees it the whole way. Wow. That is a heartbreaker for the Canucks and an absolute lightning bolt for the Edmonton Oilers.

[02:39:24]

Wow. Wow, guys. What a game tonight. The first two periods we could have gone without, but the third period has been spectacular. All right, here we go. 30 seconds to go for the Vancouver Canucks. Sheloff racing off the ice. Here we go. Is it going to be enough time for Vancouver to turn this around. Boy, they are going to kick themselves after this game if they can't tie it up here. But this is the playoffs, baby. You gotta. You gotta be playing every second of every game. That is Edmonton being a veteran team going, I don't care that you just scored. We're going to turn it back on you. That is what a vet team that has been there before does Edmonton Oilers win the game? And they win it with 38.1 second to go on an Evan Bouchard goal. And by the way, like 20 seconds earlier, the Canucks had tied it. It's going to be a party tonight in Edmonton that is going to be a memorable game there. Edmonton's big players showed up tonight. You had a big goal from dry sidel in the first. You had a big goal from Evan Bouchard to finish out the game.

[02:40:41]

Everybody who needed to show up for Edmonton today did. And let me just say this. Let me just say this. Cal Pickard, as much as Edmonton's defense was fantastic in front of him, deserves a ton of credit. He had a shuttle going into the third period. It's his first start in the playoffs ever. His parents are there. You saw them on tv swearing when that. When that puck went in to tie it up by two. And his team does the right thing and gets him the win that he so richly deserves. That has got to be one of the coolest moments of his life. Wow. I am really, really excited to see what happens in Vancouver on Thursday night. And by the way, Thursday night is tomorrow night for me because it's already 12:19 a.m.. Here. Wow. Mark P. This is what happens when you quit playing. The other guys will score with less than a minute to play. Mark, pull. That's the Leafs playbook, man. And you know what the Canucks did? You let the Oilers gain the zone with the best line in hockey. Damn, Edmonton. I'm thrilled for you, Vancouver. I've so been there, and I feel for you.

[02:42:10]

I know the feel. But here's what you need to do, okay? If you're the Vancouver Canucks, you need to go home. You need to punch the pillow on your. On your. On your bed, in your hotel bedroom and just get mad. Unless you're flying home tonight. You might be flying home tonight. You need a moment. You need to go online. You need to play a little call of duty. You need to. You need to just wreck somebody at Call of Duty. Get angry, get it out. And remember this feeling. Remember this feeling, because every single game in this series has been decided by one goal. One goal. And it's those extra few seconds of effort and of time that make it all worth it. And Vancouver just learned a lesson tonight. Edmonton. Edmonton played a great game. They really did. That was a veteran Edmonton Oilers team saying, nope, nope, we're going to win tonight. They won the first period. They won the second period. They, you know, it's difficult to hold a lead. I get it. Vancouver play great in the third because they're a great team. That is a veteran move by the Edmonton Oilers.

[02:43:24]

They did not lose focus. They did not get down. There was no bad body language. They just got right back to work, took care of business. Wow, that was a. I gotta tell you, that was a pleasure to watch. That was awesome. God, that was so much fun. So here's the deal. You and me. How about we meet back here Thursday night? We got the Vancouver Canucks. We got the Edmonton Oilers in Vancouver for game five. This series is tied up. I feel like it's going seven, don't you? Just kind of feels like it's going seven. Just kind of feels like it's going seven. I'm gonna let my team get home because they're all exhausted, and. And we're gonna see you. We're gonna see you on Thursday. All right? We're gonna have a great time. Really enjoyed this. Love that you guys keep coming back. I'm seeing a lot of the same names come back. Absolutely awesome. Thank you all for being here. Thank you to the team. Justin, Robert, I know you're in that chat, too. And, Hayden, thank you for an awesome, awesome night. Guys, we'll see you. This series just got real interesting, and I can't wait for the media in Vancouver and Edmonton, which have been so unhinged, to go at it for the next couple of days.

[02:44:46]

And by the way, guess who makes his return for game five? That's right. Cross check to the teeth, man. Carson, Susi, have a great night. We'll see you Thursday night. Take care.
