Can we play a game called Is Steve Upset About? I sent you a text message. Can you bring this up?

Sure. I'm not that upset.

If Steve's upset about this, and I want you to go to... It's a 10-second video. I don't want you to go to the sixth second of this video. Okay?

Can I play this video?

You can. I think you can. Yeah, you should be able to play it because it's a promo sent out by the Lefs Twitter account.

Give me one second.

What does this have to do with beer?

Just bear with me.Bear with me.Bear with you.Okay, so here we go. I'd love to be. We got Morgan Reilly. This is Blue Room, take one.

There's music in this.

So the Lefs have something called Blue Room. Is Steve upset about it?

Did they take that from you?

Yes. Steve's had a voice for 15 years. And Rodgers took it, too. So that's Sportsnet probably going, got you. Oh, yeah. There's no way they did I didn't know. I think they didn't know.

No, there's no way.

How do you feel about it, Steve?

I do not own the term the color blue and having a room that is blue and calling it the Blue Room.

In relation to the maple leaves?

In relation to the maple leaves. It's a little on the nose, though, don't you think?

Yeah.

Just a tad. Okay. I think I to call someone and get the biggest sign made ever. Presented by Rogers, huh?

Do you think it's funny how? I think it's funny how.

Why is that? Why is that?

You know, they had the blue room. Anyway, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Jesse, continue.

No, I think that's...

I mean, I feel like if it's Rogers, somebody there must have known. I don't think so. That would require people at that executive level to watch the content.

Or even if it's the leaves. If it's just presented by Rogers, but it's the leaves.

I have a picture in the blue room of Morgan Reilly drawing a picture of the blue room.

Yeah, I think they must have just took the name that you had.

Do you think you'll get an invite to the blue room with Morgan Reilly?

No, I don't. I hope I do. That'd be great. I love Morgan Reilly.

Yeah, he's great.

Should you be mad? You might have caused to be mad.

I'm not. I'm not.

And here's what the Lefs and Rogers will say. I have never been mad. The Lefs and Rogers will say, Yeah, it's too bad.

Oh, yeah. They have a habit of doing that. There's nothing you can do.

But Steve, you might have to get internet mad today. Yeah.

We got to do something funny with this. There's got to be something.

I think...

Oh.

You Are you going to do something on the internet, Steve?

Me? Never.

Okay.

You wouldn't get internet mad, would you? No, never.

This is from Mike.

Hi, Mike.

Let me know if this grinds your gears. It really bugged me the winnings from the skills competition wasn't donated to Edmonton Hospital or something. Do you think the winnings should have been donated?

No. No.

No, no. Wait, wait, wait. I think you're getting mad a little early there, Mike. Mike?

Mikew3813.

Yeah, I don't even... He hasn't even received the money yet. Give it a sec. Wait and give Connor McDavid the opportunity to do something with it. He's on a $100 million contract. Obviously, he doesn't He got the money.

Guys. But he got what? What are we fucking talking about? What the fuck are we talking about? Zaki, I think- I'm so fucking sick of this shit.

Mike asked a question.

Mike, dude, are you kidding me? Mike, I love you. But are you kidding me? Who's wrote the check?

The National Hockey League.

Who's got more money? The guy receiving the money or the guy that wrote the check? I'll give you a short answer on that. It's the guy That's the guy that wrote the check. If you want to hit somebody up for a charitable donation, then you could feel free to hit up the National Hockey League in its ownership.

Are you saying- I'm saying, let the player with the skill and the talent who won the thing and gets it escrow free fee, an agent fee free.

Let him take his fucking money because he put on a great show. If the NHL wants to do right by this, Hey, we're going to give a player a million bucks and we'll match it and donate a million dollars to a charity of the player's choice. Stop asking these guys because Connor McDavid does a ton in the community. Yes. He donates his time. I'd be shocked if he didn't at least some of this. Okay, I still have an issue with that. If I'm Darryl Cates, Take the publicity opportunity and you go and donate it yourself. Let the player keep the money. Let's stop asking the millionaires for what billionaires should be giving, freely as a tax write-off, bare minimum. It's not because it's not really you, Mike, that I'm upset about. I'm upset at the question because this is where it always falls. The onus falls on these guys. People are like, Yeah, I'm making X amount of dollars per year, and these guys get to play the game that I pay to play with my friends. And I understand that. And they're getting millions of dollars for it. These guys, based on every other league in North America, get paid way less proportional to the value that they bring to the league.

Let this man keep his fucking money. Let the billionaires make the donation. And guess what? It just means it's a tax write-off.

Adam, I want to play a game. Hi, I'm a giant grocery store. Would you like to donate $2 to save hungry kids from the-No. Yeah.

No. Do I get a tax receipt for that? No. No? Did your profits go up 15% last quarter? Right.

Are you still gouging the general public?

This is what I'm saying. I understand the question, and I understand why he asked that. Connor McDavid does so much in Edmonton for Edmontonians. How much has Darryl Cates done? I don't know what the answer to that question is, but how much money is Darryl Cates giving away every year?

I think I wouldn't go I would go on to Darryl Cates. I would go on to the NHL. This is an NHL thing.

But Darryl Cates is one of the 32 owners in the NHL. I agree. But to me, it's not him. He's part of it. It's the Chris Rock bit from years ago. He's like, Shaq is rich. The guy who signs Shaq's check is wealthy. That's what I'm saying, man.

This guy earned it. Except now I think Shaq is wealthy.

Well, Shaq is now wealthy.

It's a bit outdated. It's 20 years. And then he bought RingCam, and he's doing okay.

But you You know what? The point is this. I understand the question. I understand these guys can donate time and money, and they do. I would like to see the NHL do more of that.

Well, why stop there? I think he should play for free.

Right, because he loves the game.

And all the proceeds. And I think the game should be free. Yeah. And I think all the food at the game should be free.

The reality is-I think everything should be free. If you believe in a society where talent is rewarded rewarded above all things, which it's debatable whether we live in that or not. Actually, I don't think it's up for debate. We don't. I believe that talent should be rewarded. This is the best player in the world.

He should be paid like it. Okay, here's my prediction. Connor McDavid earned the money. He should spend the money however he wants. My assumption is however he wants will involve charity because that's what makes him feel good, and he likes doing good.

And I love that.

I love that.

I love that, man.I.

Love If I was that for him. I have no doubt he will help people with that money. No doubt. Adam, are you- Coming out of my ears.Pro or anti-billionaire?

I'm not anti-billionaire, even. I'm just anti Oh, we're going to put the on us on Connor McDavid. When the guy that owns the team has 100 times his wealth.

He makes like what a bench player in the NBA makes.

Connor McDavid will be, let's say, His career earnings will be 100 million or 150 million by the time his career is over.

Something like that.

The value that Connor McDavid has brought to the Edmondson Oilers franchise, as in what the crest is worth is 10X that.

Hockey is a sport.

I know, but just think the oilers, 10X that. That's what the... The reason that we talk about the oilers so much, that we put so much expectations on the oilers, that they are... Tonight, they're going for 17 straight wins. Why?

Good for them. Big game.

Conor McFucking David.

They should donate some of the money that they saved getting public funding for their new building.

Steven, now you're speaking my language. I'm not saying that millionaires shouldn't donate, but I'm just saying, Man, let him have a fucking million bucks. He earned it.

You can call me Comrade if you want. That's fine.

No, I would call the person who accepted public money for their big stadium William Toy Comrade. That is corporate socialism. Sorry. Let's move on.

That was the last question.

Okay, well, let's move on to the extra then. We got a show tomorrow, so we have to save some energy for that. But tomorrow morning, we will know whether or not the Edmonton Oilers have tied an NHL record, 17 wins in a row, I believe, held by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 92-93, which was a spectacular team featuring two guys you've never heard of, Jaeger and Lemu.

Vegas is so banged up. I was just checking to see who's in and out tonight, and I think they're still without Eichel, Carrier, Hutton.

Isn't that just a regular Tuesday?

It is. But Edmonton, this is your time.

I know they got first class everything, but do they have doctors? That team is perpetually injured and wins anyway.

I think they play a really, really, really rough style of hockey. Okay, so then it just happens. I think it is sometimes lost how fucking hard it to play in the NHL.

Who you guys got?

I think Everton's winning. I think they're winning. Maddie, hold on. Mad Dog thinks Everton's winning.

What do you think? I think they're going to tie the NHL record.

Yeah, Maddie.

Steve, what do you think?

I think Vegas would love nothing more than to play spoilers here. I think it ends.

Really?

Wow.

I think all side with Steve. So we'll be 2v2. Vegas does it tonight, even though I don't want to pick them because there's so many-Okay, does the winner bring donuts tomorrow? And Edmondson's on a roll.

I'm sorry, the loser brings donuts tomorrow.

No, man, look at me. The winner brings orange slices. I'm trying my best.

You just went in too many bets, Steve.Apples?Apple slice.Apple slices. Let's go. I got some apples at home.
