The Oilers Force Game 6 | 32 Thoughts

this is so whiny little kitty listen this this is how whiny Kevin is okay he’s like well I had to put it up to 15 right away so I couldn’t get it up to a four on the speed like it sounded exactly like that like that’s whiny Kevin Elliot there will be no gentleman sweep instead as Conor McDavid has said the Florida Panthers are getting dragged back to Alberta game six on Friday welcome to 32 thoughts of the podcast presented by the GMC Sierra elevation Elliot you and I are pretty much the uh the same age really and we both grew up watching Wayne Gretzky saw a lot of Wayne Gretzky games regular season games playoff games uh Canada CBS you like we saw a lot of Wayne Gretzky and at a certain point he just stopped being able to say anything about Wayne Gretzky there was like nothing more you could add to what has already been let you just couldn’t say anything anymore it’s like how am I going to top what I just said about Wayne gresy 5 minutes ago we’re there with Conor McDavid now aren’t we first of all Jeff we should say now we have a series we do even when it was 3-1 we did not have a series that wasn’t really a series now we’ve got a series this is very real and game six in Edmonton that whole night is going to be a banger I’m not going to be so bold as Kelly Rudy to say we’re coming back to Florida guar put himself out there I’m not doing that yet but we have a series now and Florida for the first time in the playoffs Florida’s got to be feeling it uh they wiped out Tampa they were the better team against Boston I never really thought they were in trouble there and even against the Rangers I didn’t think they were in big trouble I thought they really carried the play now even though they’re up 3 to2 I think they’re in a little bit of trouble I to me this is the most pressure that Florida’s going to feel because the next couple days all they’re going to hear is do you guys are you guys hearing the footsteps so I do think it goes on them a little bit um as for McDavid I mean the only thing you can really say there’s two things he is breaking records that I never thought would be broken I never thought we’d see Gretzky’s 31 assist playoff erased it’s over and I don’t care that Gretzky played fewer games I don’t care at all it’s a different game now and the fact he’s even within Striking Distance of Gretzky’s 47 points it is unbelievable to me watching Gretzky at his peak in the 80s I never thought we’d see anybody in the same universe as him but here we are I feel and I don’t have a vote this year I feel the conm is over win or lose I think MC David has won it the voters May disagree they have a bit more power on this than I do but my personal feeling is it’s over and he has won it we’ll see and the other thing too is and a couple people texted me about this obviously the offense gets all the attention it’s sexy however he’s making some great defensive plays too like just great defensive plays some stick checks some battles um he’s not just doing this on the offensive end of the ice he’s making really really good defensive plays and it reminded me of at at the end of the game when he scored the empty net I remember as a kid and my house league hockey team we we G back when they were ties Jeff we had a lead with an empty net I I can remember this like it’s yesterday and another player on our team uh we we shot the puck down the ice a guy made a similar diving play as kachak which was an incredible effort and he was lying in the net and one of my teammates shot it very weakly cuz he didn’t want to hurt the guy and it didn’t go in and they scored and we lost the one point it was like a tie game and I remember our coach screaming at us and saying like in a kind of funny way it wasn’t abusive or anything but he was kind of like next time that happens you put it through the guy we got to win the game and we’re like 9 years old it was it it was really funny like he was laughing and you put it through the guy you gota you got to win the game and I don’t care where kachuck was in the net McDavid was putting that through like that was going in the net like he’s got the Killer Instinct going there are a couple of questions on Twitter that I got I’m sure you got in your timeline as well asking if kachuck knocks the net off um what’s the call there and the call is if the Florida Panthers touch the puck the whistle blows but with the Oilers having possession if they shoot it on net even with the net off and it goes in in between where the post should be yes that’s a goal that’s a go that’s a goal just so everyone’s on the same page that would have been the ruling if K chuck would have knocked the net off the moing anyhow continue I you know I just want to say um you know you said something I think a lot of people said it but I heard you say it on your radio show at the top of your show on on Tuesday and that is that Stuart Skinner was going to win or lose that game for Edmonton in the first first 10 minutes and and he won it and you know it should be mentioned Edmonton had a glorious chance on the first shift and bosi made a huge save yeah bosi made a huge save right in and then the onslaught began and and Skinner was incredible and and the thing I really want to say about Skinner is what what he has taught us is that he like he’s a really nice guy he talks on game days he um you know he’s he’s very thoughtful but he’s competitive as hell like I mean he was getting two series ago he was getting buried look at his record now as series go deeper he he’s lights out he’s un he’s been late in series he doesn’t lose and the thing that says to me is I always say to people polite but firm that people who are nice people they have difficulty either negotiating for themselves or standing up for themselves and I and I I struggled with that especially early or in life and I I say like you can be mean but you can also be polite but firm and steuart Skinner is polite but firm he’s super competitive he he cares a lot like like everything he’s shown um in this playoffs says to me that he has the makeup to be an extremely successful goalie he may not have the high ceiling of some of the other goalies but he’s a fighter and he’s shown he’s a fighter and he’s you know and and he saved that game for Edmonton early and late like I’m not going to lie to you Jeff when when they made it 4 to one I said to Dave sitting up there in our perch I said the one thing you can’t do if if you’re here if you’re Edmonton is you can’t give up a quick goal and Florida went right right down the ice and scored I was like Rodriguez oh man by the way that guy has played great Rodriguez has played great yes um but so I was like oh this is really bad and then when you know they scored to make it four to3 early in the third I don’t I bet you there isn’t an Oiler fan alive who didn’t think Florida was going to tie it and at least send it to overtime at some point but you know he really stood strong skner he was fantastic it was it was just a great game a competitive hard entertaining by far the best game of the series like there were a lot of guys on both teams tonight who played their hearts out it was just was yeah the effort he made on that goal you know Carter ver hay when Yanmar hit the post Amber turns to me and he goes Colton sizs and I I was thinking it too and he also thought about he also brought up the US women hitting the post in the in but you watch like yanar had another chance to score and Carter Veri like rode him off the puck so he he couldn’t do it like the amount of players in this game who played who gave it everything they had like it’s great I I know the Panthers fans are sitting here and they’re annoyed but like there were very few guys who didn’t give you the best in that game it was just a a great great hockey game and I’ll tell you something else Jeff um you know someone said to me you know we’ve been talking about the Dakota joshuas and the martinook and the nation of the world and and the William caras and those guys you know someone texted me after the game tonight and they said you know Connor Brown he was like roadkill during the season people were just completely giving up on him you know what’s he doing for himself now and they said Matias yanm Mark um what’s he doing for himself now like those guys are making themselves extra hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars by what they’re doing on the penalty kill in these play in this final uh I’m glad you mentioned Connor Brown so there’s um there’s one coach that I’m friendly with and we during these these games we’ll you know send texts back and forth and he sent me a video of the Conor Brown goal and he said you know essentially this is brilliant and he broke it down on this clip and he said watch Conor Brown when he’s killing the penalty he doesn’t go all the way up to the Blue Line he’s back a little bit so he’s not overc committing but he’s still in position where his stick can be effective a lot of guys might you know challenge to one of the points might challenge up high he said that’s just going to open up Lanes underneath and then the Oilers are in real trouble he says Connor Brown played that perfectly by he was in in the perfect position uh not overcommit not going up too high he deflects the puck leads to the Breakaway completely stretches out boski like think about that for a second think of the pressure that you’re under and then have the Poise that Conor Brown did to stretch bosski out all the way across the Nets before tucking that in like it’s it’s not the spectacular play that Conor McDavid made later on we’ll get there but that Conor Brown play is technical perfection in how you kill penalty and how you create a turnover and don’t listen to graty and he listened to Gretzky and let’s not forget too on that Yan Mark chance that you talked about early like 15 seconds in who makes the beautiful pass it’s Connor Brown like this Conor Brown story continues to pick up more and more Steam and it gets better and better each and every game now the Cory Perry goal with the Conor McDavid play my first thought was Wilkinson Chambers Mario you Pittsburgh Penguins Minnesota northstars did you have that same Vibe about this one the way that con McDavid just sliced and diced mikola and kulakov there’s that goal I think of but the other one I think of which is not exactly the same but it’s Lemieux on Ray Bor that’s the other one I I think turn around yeah it wasn’t one on two but it was incredible goal like every like as you said before like what else do you say about this guy um what I really liked was the smile after the three nothing goal the one he put through bossk’s legs cuz that was like a goal scorer’s goal and that was that when I saw the way he kind of smiled and smirked after that one to me that was mcdavid’s way of we’re going to get these guys like normally he’s so fired up but it was just a calm smile like that said to me this is a guy who’s completely in control of this series right now yeah can I let let me let me take a little detour on that three nothing goal the Conor McDavid goal so I don’t know I don’t know if Kevin Woodley himself controls the in Go Magazine Twitter feed but probably he probably hijacked it but maybe I mean his company man he’s he’s he’s grown that thing root to the fruit good for him Dynamic and great so in goal Magazine on that goal because bosski stays up and hugs the post old school so inle magazine sends out the tweet this will be our response from now on whenever someone responds to any reverse VH goal with quote just stand up and know this is not a bob critique very uncharacteristic of his tactics if you look at Bob that’s the old school way to play that shot and it goes right underneath the stick how many times have you seen the reverse VH there we play oh it’s like you know Jack Hughes Banks it off the goenda high somehow it gets in you say just stand up well look at the goalie that just stood up and look what Conor McDavid just did to him thought it was interesting that inle magazine of all places like the premon said the same thing oh did he yeah I think so would surprise me would a lot it’s late I’m not checking I’ll just go with it we’ll just give it to Marty Baron and and and move on um but the smile the smile was something because as we used to talk about with Nathan McKinnon until he won the Stanley Cup we weren’t sure that he had upper teeth and I think we can say the same thing about Conor McDavid that’s pretty funny I don’t know I mean it’s it’s just been incredible to watch it it was like I said I’ll say it again I I thought when it was 43 Panthers were going to tie it there was one that was deflected wi than net that everybody in the building thought was in and it went bananas for about a half second it was just uh everything about that game was great it just it was great just a great competitive hard game and I’ll I’ll say something else too Jeff one thing you notice now is that you know Bennett he’s starting to you know the the the one of the stories from the beginning of the series was the Friendship of those two guys Ben is starting to run McDavid a little bit more like it’s almost like at the beginning he was like I know what I have to do but not exactly the minor Toronto Marley is going up against Robbie fabry and the M Saga Rebels anymore here elliotts no no no no he’s he’s starting to make uh take a couple more like there was a big one in the second period And even McDavid took a shot back MAV gave it back to him yeah which I liked I’m all for that but I uh I don’t know I mean the other one here too like you know if you know Edmonton remember Ken Holland said pregame game four that they hoped they were going to have Kane back again know if you’re Edmonton and he’s ready to go as good as he is can you change your [Music] lineup they’re playing so good right now Elliot I would not touch a I would not move this thing an inch to the left or an inch to the right I it the way it is I it’ser Kan and power forward and what he can bring I don’t know that I would touch any of this now there is one person and I can understand the frustration there is one person who’s really not enjoying himself right now and that’s Bill Zito the general manager of the Florida Panthers who we’ve talked about death stairs before and normally that’s reserved for coaches and there have been some that have some great death stairs but I don’t know that I’ve seen a death stare that good good like we saw Bill zitto at the end of the game yeah he Chuck the water bottle there’s a frustration whatever release valve but to me it was the stare like the just like you know like as a manager like your work is all done you can’t control things anymore and you’re just watching and you’re getting angrier and angrier and Connor is like eight points in two games and you can do nothing about it all I’m saying is I recognize it and I understand it I really understand it my feeling on that is these people are competitive and you’re right they don’t have any control over it so it’s a lot harder oh torture the one thing I don’t have any problem with his reaction at all the one thing I thought about was it just shows what we talked about earlier which is the pressure is ramping up yeah like like it’s interesting like Kevin we were talking about this in the drive back home to the hotel and Kevin was saying they still got to beat you twice more and he’s right like I understand how he thinks about that but it the wheel does start to grind and now it’s going to grind I I don’t like I said I don’t think it was there after game four it’s 3-1 you’re the Panthers you’re a hell of a team ah to me that was that was nothing now it’s something mhm the um one thing we should mention as well at around the Midway point of the second period period the Florida Panthers kind of woke up here and They Carried that right to the end I know we’re talking a lot about I know we’re talking a lot about the Edmonton Oilers and it’s a fantastic story and here we go getting to game six but let’s not forget here and Paul Maurice talked about this in the postgame where he said something along the lines of you know Edmonton only had six shots in the third we played really well we gotten some penalty trouble and things we can clean up and I can’t remember exactly what he said but something to that effect let’s not forget here that when the Panthers woke up in this game it was trouble and they gave they gave Ed Edmonton everything yes they did that they that they wanted like let’s not think that this is just going to be the uh the proverbial layup the two foot putt here for the Edmonton Oilers on Friday when Florida woke up man that game got real hard yeah that game got like it was a hard game for the uh for the Florida Panthers early and then it got hard for the Edmond selers and and and they hung on and and won this one that’s why I think this sets up a great Friday and Elliott you know how um whenever we would talk to yarm Mo kelan and he would talk about the CBA and he would say well you know sometimes you have the advantage and you should use it you have the hammer you use it sometimes the other side has the hammer and they should use it you know has the hammer right now who’s that Shania Twain oh I I KN I was wondering if you’re were going to bring this up again they have to bring her back don’t they like Daryl C pull some money off the tree in the backyard you got to get Shania back for game six don’t you I don’t know if she’s on tour I don’t know what her schedule is I have no idea what goes on in Shia Twain’s life but you kind of have to bring her back yeah you probably do yes I I would say you probably do by the way the the other thing I’ll say is I heard the travel wasn’t easy for the families uh like it was just a long day they flew in day of they flew home after the game so it was basically two long flights and the game in 24 hours I think they landed at 7:00 a.m. the morning after game four and I have no doubt that some of the families were like let’s win it here so we don’t have to have that tough travel again and now they’re going to have that tough travel again I’m sure Oilers fans their hearts will really be bleeding for them and they’re all brokenhearted um everybody makes sacrifices this time of year the cups on the line the cup will once again be in the building on Friday okay Elliot from there we’ll go to the news and the news is pretty big around Vancouver and they have secured one half of their first pair Philip pronic eight-year contract 7.25 is the aav on this one uh listen we’ve talked plenty about you know lindol and zadorov and Myers Etc we’ve wondered if they were going to be able to get ronic dun and they did on Tuesday your thoughts on this deal it’s just a lesson like sometimes you just let things sort of slide through your fingers we’re so tied into and connected to and thinking about all of the kano’s unrestricted free agents that you remember that you know what there’s restricted guys to you got to deal with too and so I you know you’re looking at zadorov you’re looking at lyol you’re looking at Joshua you’re looking at Myers you’re looking at all of a sudden the gensel rumors and of course the first guy that gets done is ronic and what it is it’s a reminder that uh they consider him very important to their team for an awful awful long time uh I think it’s a very fair contract um you know I I don’t think that ronic was going to get more than this if wanted to stay in Vancouver I I think this is as far as Vancouver was willing to go I think that at time they had some really tough negotiations but to me that’s part of it is that you know the agent digs in tight the team digs in tight you want to see how far you can push each other but eventually you get to a point where if everybody wants to stay and they want the marriage to continue they find the happy ground and I think for Vancouver this was really as far as they were willing to go I I think the best thing for the Canucks is that if you look at it for the Canucks now between ronic and Quinn Hughes which at times is your number one pair I know they kind of mix and match a little bit but you look at them and you’ve got them tied up for $15 million for the next three years you can deal with that um you you can really deal with that uh so I I have no problems with the contract now look you know I do a lot of on air stuff in in Vancouver I’m on with you four times a week I’m on with uh Rick and Donnie every two weeks I was on with Bick yesterday after uh he signed and all the podcasting we do look I I’ll just say this there is a lot of craziness coming out of Vancouver as there usually is so you know I mean you can find what I’ve said um and I’m very curious to see how it all plays out um the the one thing I do think is that I I do think Rutherford aims High you know the gansel stuff I find I find very interesting um I I have no doubt remember at the deadline they wanted to be involved in him they just didn’t do it I have no doubt they would want to be involved in someone like that there is just a lot of conflicting information uh coming out out of what Vancouver is going to do right now and I’ve contributed enough to it so I’m going to just let it play out over the next couple days and see what I hear and don’t hear because there’s some guys you’re hearing they’re gone or they can’t do it there’s other guys not so fast and even some of the guys you hear they’re gone you’re like not so fast so I’m just going to let this play it over the next little while but I I have no doubt the Canucks will aim high and be aggressive uh no what does this mean for lolm sedora Myers and besser can be redone on July 1st we want answers now Elliot no Jeff I’m just going to let this play out for a change and not like dump dirt on myself now the other thing I wanted to mention is we have talked about slaving and the fact that the belief is he will have an extension done July 1st I don’t know about structure or anything like that but I have heard the world is slaven who is extension is going to kick in uh after next season when he is 31 years old is going to come in around eight times 6.5 that’s a great deal that’s a great deal for the Carolina Hurricanes for that defenseman I know I’m biased but like I think that’s a fantastic deal for for Jacob slaven I’ll say this it’s really interesting that’s a great that you know Carolina really Hedges against age I always say they know you know your player the best and that says to me that Carolina really believes in him that is a very good deal um one of the other uh players that we’re wondering about here lately and we’re all trying to okay figure out where the right fit is is Patrick l of the uh Columbus Blue Jackets or should we say soon to be X of the Columbus Blue Jackets do you have a spidey sense lately on uh what teams might be warm to him I have a few people who said to me you have to watch Seattle on this one and that doesn’t come as a surprise uh because uh the Kraken have been looking for scorers right yeah like that that that is a team whenever we talk about uh someone looking for a score I mean everybody is but we mentioned Seattle in particular and well they had a 20 goal scorer and Daniela but they let him go Elliot but I Russ you you’re just never going to let that go no no no to the but the other thing too is like Seattle can do it like they’re a team that can that can do this deal and also too you know like that like the like Ron Francis is not crazy about wild contracts two times 8.7 and and we’ll see what Columbus may have to do to make this work that’s not insane for the Kraken and it’s not insane for Ron Francis and I I think the other thing here too is that as we talked about with the coaching change there from haxel to BMA I think there is a real push in that organization to be more aggressive and I see line as something that makes sense there for the people who want to be more aggressive and the people who prefer to be a little bit conservative cuz I don’t think his contract breaks you or is overly risky so that’s Seattle is one of the teams I’m really wondering about there for lineing speaking of Seattle um real quick note we’ve been following along the American Hockey League CER Cup finals and Coachella Valley in game three first game back home man did they ever lay a thumping on the Hershey Bears final score is 6 to2 Shane Wright two goals one assist in this one they now grab a 2 to one seriesly just adding on to the Seattle conversation there now speaking of the American Hockey League now last podcast we had mentioned cam Abbott and the speculation about him going into AHL Chicago uh and we mentioned the reverse sadin and all that and that was a lot of fun um but there’s still some vacancies here and still some names that are very much out there Elliots um and one of the things that’s kind of happened here is Grant patal has left Northern Michigan yeah and there are a lot of people wondering where he’s going to end up and I’ve heard a couple of different places I’ve heard I heard hardford I heard that see that was the first thing that I heard and then I had also heard wilberry but then I remembered our conversation as well previous about uh Jon Snowden and wils Berry so now I really don’t know what to believe what’s going in the American Hockey League with some of these vacancies and then who knows what’s going to happen to Todd Nelson at the end of all of this Hershey Bears head coach who knows I like I said I I really believe I heard the poni was going to Harford we’ll see okay and so we did mention Jon Snowden who has a history with Kyle dubis as wilsy I heard the same thing but I got thrown a new name uh KK McDonald who was coaching debuk in the USL so I I heard his name during uh the Stanley Cup final game on on Tuesday night so you know we’ll see I mean we got lots of names here we’re throwing darts it’s late on a Tuesday night SL Wednesday morning we’re throwing darts just doing the the really responsible thing here just late at night just like throwing names out and attaching them to teams just whatever before we go to bed let’s just throw some names out there and start some fires essentially is what you’re saying yes let’s let’s do that because it’s it’s responsible as you said we’re so professional we’re so professional you know Elliot pretty soon after the Stanley Cup is awarded 48 hours later we’re talking about biots uh on Tuesday on the radio show you and I discussed the possibility of a Jeff Skinner biot with the Buffalo Sabers do you care to expand first of all americ I have to say I almost died last laugh in on your show when we first talked about it and you go throwing a dart how about Jeff Skinner like the two of us haven’t been talking about this for two or three days trying to figure out if it’s true way to make yourself try to sound really smart so uh throwing as I pointed out before there are 700 players in the NHL I’m going to throw a dart and hit this one right on the nose look get landed on Jeff Skinner well the key to uh to to sports broadcasting and the key to life in general en is um sincerity and once you learn how to fake that Elliot You’ got it made these are words that I live by and remain true on Tuesday’s broadcast of TJMS yeah I it was everything I could not to laugh when when you said that but thank you so this is something that has been floating around hockey circles for probably at least it reached my ears about three or four days ago and and the tough thing is is that you know the Sabers aren’t saying anything he’s represented by Don mean Don mean is keeping quiet about it and what someone said to me was that you have to be careful because the bio window doesn’t begin until 48 hours after the Stanley Cup is awarded so things can always change um so you know that’s you know but I do think it was going to get out um it was you know something that more and more people were talking about now you know someone said to me why don’t the Sabers ask him to wave his no move clause and the thing is is that if you’re Jeff Skinner in this situation and you know the Sabers may want to move on from you uh a you want to control things that’s what you want to do you want to be in control of the situation so it’s so it’s probably better for you unless you’re absolutely convinced that Buffalo can trade you to a place you want to go it’s probably better for you to say no just wait just buy me out and let me go to a place that I want to go and secondly you know his contract is 9 million if we go to a situation where he’s a non-restricted free agent he can take his buyout which is 23 of $22 million over six years and he can pick it at whatever salary he wants Skinner has much more control over the situation as an unrestricted free agent getting to pick his destination at his salary so I think that’s why Buffalo is is kind of in this position the the other interesting thing about it there’s a couple number one for next year his cap hit would be under 1 and A5 million using capitals friendly and so it would give Buffalo an extra $7.5 million of cap room and next year is a huge year for the Sabers the other thing that kind of interested me about it too is that they’re looking for they’re believ to be looking for a couple forwards one one of those edgier depth pieces that we’ve been talking about but also a top six forward if they could and you know Skinner he had 24 goals last year he scored 40 before he scored 30 before uh I know the big knock on him is you know he’s played a th over a thousand games he’s never made the playoffs but he can score um so it’s a really really interesting move by the sabes that will give them a ton of flexibility for next year should it happen but you know I always try to be careful with what I say unless I 100% no so I can’t say 100% it’s going to happen but it’s definitely out there and I think we’re just waiting to see if Buffalo makes a final decision good job Landing that Dart okay you know aliot one move on Tuesday that caught a lot of people by surprise although we’ve all been wondering how the New York Rangers are going to create some cap space here Barkley goodro goes on waivers yeah um I don’t think this is about performance as much as it is about compensation and price uh what’s the backstory on this one there there’s a few different ways we could go here I mean basically it’s a cap move I I think that’s the most sensible way to do it um Barkley Goodrow you know first of all you know I I pointed out that he had six goals in 16 playoff games this year and it’s his time of year and people are like oh you’re trying to give him a soft Landing I had people doing it on social I had uh people sending me text I’m like yeah you know I hate to kick people when they’re down so uh I I don’t mind giving a little bit of love to someone um you know I I think that clearly Goodrow would be staying with the Rangers if it wasn’t for the 3 years at 3.9 million left they need some flexibility to do some things and um again if if it wasn’t for the contract which they signed him to um he there this would not even be an issue and if he doesn’t get claimed the bio window doesn’t open until 48 hours after the Stanley Cup Final so now the earliest that can be is Sunday um I think it’s possible he’ll be bought out but but um there is definitely a lot of smoke around San Jose now here’s where that gets a little bit interesting so Goodrow has a 15 team no trade and I would be very curious if San Jose is on it I don’t know um but considering you know the season that San Jose just had it and also depending on when his list is due like there are some players who had to submit new list recently there are other players who don’t who don’t have to do it until July 1st I I don’t know but what I would wonder is is this the kind of move like we know San Jose is looking for veterans like one player who’s been talked about as a possible buyout as Cam ainson and there’s been reports that San Jose was interested in him and he’s not crazy about that right now so one of the things I’m kind of wondering about here is maybe goodro can’t be traded to San Jose but because he doesn’t have a no move Clause it doesn’t mean they can he he can’t block being claimed by them on waivers as I was driving to the game on Tuesday night there were a couple of people who are presenting to me that scenario like I actually had someone call me and ask me like is there any way that good R could block this could he file like for example if he if San Jose was on his no trade list and they claim him on waivers could he file a grievance and like the answer to that is no he he has no recourse about that but I I think that’s one thing that everyone’s kind of watching the the waiver claim is to Eastern like I know there were some teams who suspect that Tampa was hoping he’d get bought out and he could go back there and they could potentially sign them but it’s a lot easier for New York if it happens this way we’ll see how it all plays out Todd Maron yes you should explain that situation to the Anaheim Duck so that was a situation where and this was the beginning of the no move Clause where he had no trade uh but he was still eligible for waivers and and he had declined going to the Anaheim Ducks and Doug mlan placed him on waivers originally originally he cleared and then uh there may or may not have been an agreement between Doug mlan and Brian Burke to take s almost got and they kind of yelled at each other right they were not happy with one another and then he got placed back on waivers and we all kind of went he was just on waivers yesterday what’s going on and then the uh the Anaheim claimed them and that was the beginning of players having no move Clauses as opposed to just no trade Clauses for the reason that Elliot just mentioned if you have a no trade you can still be waved and other teams can claim you and that includes teams that might be on your no trade list that’s what the no move protects and that goes back to the aformentioned deal between well two of our former colleagues Elliott and Doug mlan and Brian Burke there you go um another player that we’re wondering about and where do we lump him in is Victor arvidson what’s the the noise around him there’s a lot of noise around him uh again I think there’s a lot of interest we talked earlier about the Dakota joshuas the Jordan martinook the stepan n’s uh those kinds of players who are going to be valuable I had someone say you better make sure you throw arvitson in that he’s another one of those guys that fills that kind of role can play up and down the lineup the issues been Health but when he was healthy the kings were a very different team um I’m hearing quite a bit of arvidson out there in that same group of players that there’s a lot of interest in a guy like that it’s just going to be a question of where where he ends up guy can score uh no doubt about that guy can score um Columbus Blue Jackets uh real tough spot sometimes you’re just a a victim of circumstance and that’s where Pascal Vincent found himself um Mike Babcock uh and that situation last summer uh dismissed from the Columbus Blue Jackets organization Pascal Vincent takes over and coached the entire season with the interm tag and then waited and waited and Don woodell finally came in uh as the general manager and the decision made on Monday to release him or relieve him of his duties as interim head coach uh he gets fired and you feel bad for him because you watch a lot of openings come and openings go for coaches around the NHL well just a tough situation all around here Elliot it is um there were some people who weren’t that sympathetic uh um I heard from some people I saw a little bit of unsocial and I got a couple of texts about it saying that well you know like last year was a mess in Columbus I think that’s an easy thing to say I I really do you know first of all he wasn’t supposed to be the coach Babcock was and secondly he gets thrust from assistant to head on the same team and you and I have talked about that that’s the toughest job to do that it really is you go from good cop to bad cop and you know players can see it like if you’re phony like that’s a very hard thing to do without being phony and if you’re phony the players will see it and they’ll see right through it and they’ll all talk about it and it it’s very hard to Reign that in you will lose the trust of the players and I think that happened to some degree and you know so you know he benched some guys like that was what Columbus wanted last year they the the plan before um before Babcock was fired was for him to go in there and do just that he was to go in there and make life a little bit uncomfortable and press them hard prepare them to play make sure that uh the game plan would be good and with Babcock It generally is um and and but be hard on them like grind them into a better team and all of a sudden he’s out they’re in a tough spot you move a guy from assistant coach to he coach but you say hey we need you to do this like I don’t know too many coaches who could have done that some probably could but there aren’t many and it was a really impossible spot for Vincent to be in and so um you know I’m sure he’ll end up on his feet I’m sure he’ll go elsewhere um but I I think that there’s a lot of coaches like the one thing will say about this is Columbus is a really good job because somebody is going to figure this out and the rewards are going to be great they have good pieces they have a good foundation they’re about to get another uh High pick um there there’s a lot there to like they have really good young players they have good veterans in their Prime they got to sort out the goal tending like and plus also again the fan base showed you this year that the rewards are high like if you are successful in Columbus you are God in that town so they will have no you saw the end of the season free absolutely you saw the end of the season with the standing ovations like that’s that’s a good market so you know it like they are going to have a lineup of people who want that job now I think you’re going to hear a lot of names the mclen the Julians the woodcrafts as I said to you on your show today there are some people who suspect at the very least would might talk to Bob Harley you know maybe not even as a coach but as a consultant you know wodell really thinks highly of harly but there was going to be a long lineup of experienced people uh who are going to want that job like you know can wee even through Todd Nelson’s name at us and and you know why not but they’re going to want someone with structure who’s who’s tough but fair that’s what they’re going to be looking for and they’ll have no shortage of people throwing themselves at Buckeye Central to get that job uh a couple of names to throw out at you um we’ve talked about Chris Armstrong before y um now ex of werman now with Utah as the president of hockey operations we’ve mentioned him a couple of times taken that spot and there it is Elliott uh Utah gets another yeah and it’s a a guy with another like today we saw it or Tuesday what day is today Tuesday yeah I can’t remember what day is anymore so uh so Tuesday we saw two kind of different hires Eric tulsky in Carolina with his 4600 patents and Chris Armstrong in in Utah who was an agent primarily in golf golf and Kyle dubis I hope for Armstrong sake he got himself as good a deal as he got dubis um but you know I I don’t think that’s a huge surprise he was seen with Bill Armstrong the GM during the playoffs Ryan Smith really trusts him uh I still think they’re going to look at someone else uh as an experienced advisor consultant I don’t know what they’re going to call it there so I don’t think Armstrong Chris is the last front office hire but he’s a really bright guy and Ryan Smith really trusts him so I don’t think anyone is shocked at all just is the same in Carolina where tulsky is a very bright Guy Tom Dundon trusts him so I don’t think anybody is surprised at all I thought I like I said at the beginning of the process I think Carolina opened it up to the possibility that a more experienced person could do that role kind of as not the power voice but as the facilitator and the information gatherer but he and they interviewed yarmo kekal and I do think that he was considered for that position but ultimately it’s tulk’s job and I still think they’re going to hire more people in Carolina too but I don’t think anyone is surprised you know it’s one of my favorite paragraphs in the history of NHL press releases the part of the Carolina release that outlines the bio and just so all of our listeners get a sense of what we’re talking about here with Eric tulsky now the general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes Elliot this one’s awesome the Philadelphia Pennsylvania native holds a ba in chemistry and physics from Harvard University and a PhD in chemistry from the University of California Berkeley he also conducted a 2-year postdoctoral study at the naval research laboratory in Washington DC tulsky previously worked in the high-tech industry for 12 years managing teams of researchers focused on using nanotechnology to solve problems in DNA sequencing solar energy displays and energy storage and then you referenced this a second ago he currently holds 27 US patents Elliot he’s not just overqualified for an NHL job I would submit he’s overqualified for most jobs in the world let alone hockey I I have to say Jeff he makes you sound like a total loser oh but you get a free pass you and you you and tulsk are on the same same same length here okay all right very good that is um that’s remarkable um and I thought your perspective on it on the radio show on Tuesday was interesting as well that the the passion for sports is a real draw I can’t remember which owner it was was a baseball owner I think maybe Texas Rangers uh in an article I read years ago who who brought up something that was really eye opening he said look like I’ve I became a billionaire um in the oil industry and it became You Know Rich beyond my wildest dreams but it wasn’t until I bought a baseball team that I could pick up a phone and get a reservation at any restaurant I wanted because now I was a sports owner like that has a that has a cache that comes along with it that just like miscellaneous you know oil baren doesn’t and look at tul tulsky could do whatever he wants and he chooses I have met uh several young people uh who want to go into sports who tell me well I could go into Finance or I could go into Tech and I can make a lot more money like why would I want to start out say making I’ll just throw a number out there $50,000 where I can go on to B Street or Wall Street and I can make millions and I say you should do whatever makes you happy like I don’t like to give people advice my answer to this my answer to these people is always this what do you want to do and if the answer is I want to make the most money I say good on you I’ve got no problem with that you shouldn’t do that here but sometimes the answer will be I really love sports I really want to run a team and then my answers to that are twofold you can go and do that now and make more money make bank and either build a name for yourself and come back as a successful businessman or Crater or whatever you want to be or you can just say you know what this is my dream that other job will always be there and I’m going to chase it for less money now Eric did it the other way he did all of his other stuff first and then came back but you would be surprised at how many people say you know what I’m going to do this for a few years and see where I go to see where I can latch on to my dream and you almost always forfeit money in these situations I can’t think of anybody who chases it right at the beginning who doesn’t leave any money on the table but there’s a reason fantasy sports are so successful Jeff because we all want to be general managers we all want to do this and um the poll is very strong the lur is very strong and Chris Armstrong is another guy he built himself up in another business and ended up here and maybe that’s going to be the way that more people decide to go because usually if you don’t work from the ground up you kind of close off that Avenue maybe this is a change but never underestimate the pull of running a sports team and how that can get people to make those decisions like Dan Schulman a slightly different example he was an actuary and I’ve heard I heard Dan Schulman’s audition tape Scott Mecha played it for me from when he called Western basketball games he sent to the fan it’s the best audition tape that’s ever been done anywhere but he was a guy he quit that for this and I still remember as I’ve told you I don’t have my University degree yet I remember so I was an English major you had to take another language at Western I was taking French I remember when I called my dad and told him I was dropping French he was so disappointed in me I made two decisions number one I’m still doing this and number two I’m never telling my dad I’m doing anything ever again it’s just not worth the [Laughter] aggravation um going back to your part about everybody wants to be a general manager that’s one of the nice things Elliot about living in Canada is there are just under 30 million general managers in this country and uh one final wrap up on on Eric tulsky um reading that bio uh this morning when it came out I thought of one of my favorite lines from the movie slapshots and it goes like this look at Ned he doesn’t need hockey look at Eric tulsky he doesn’t need hockey congratulations Eric on the uh on the position jeez you’re waxing so poetic about him I’m worried you’re going to hang out and go look for his Tinder profile never dating hockey it never ends well just a couple more things before we wrap up um I wanted to shout out Eric Francis because Eric Francis uh got Craig Conroy on the record on our website good piece talking about Jacob marstrom he’s never come and said he wants out that’s never been mentioned he’s never said that so first of all shout out to Eric for getting Craig on the record about that um my opinion on this is that I think markstrom has made it very clear he wants to play for a winner um so I think Conroy knows how markstrom feels I think he also knows markstrom does not want a repeat of the craziness of last year I think he’s well aware of it and thirdly whenever I read a a quote like that this is where I say that a good Agent makes a big difference uh now markstrom is represented by uh Pat Morris who is one of the toughest agents out there and that I would suspect that this is where uh like Pat Morris is incredibly protective of his clients like a lot of agents are the only times I’ve ever really had issues with Pat is when he feels I have been unfair and putting his clients in a tough situation so this is where I would think the agent would play a critical role in saying look I’m going to handle this for you and so um I I but I think that the fls know that if they go into any kind of rebuild that’s not what markstrom wants at this point in his career uh real quick before I wrap up here um Elliott Ivan demad now this is I mean gez you want to talk about Elite level forward talent for this year’s draft he’s it um some speculation he might be one year away from playing in the NHL we’ll see what happens and one of the news stories coming out on Tuesday his new height yes 6′ one thoughts on this one so he’s represented by Dan milstein who’s got a whole bunch of players uh uh prospects uh down in the Florida in South Florida not far from where we are um and uh he’s working them out for all 32 teams actually I should say this because I don’t want to get anybody in trouble the NHL sent out a memo of what teams were owed to do here if a player was invited to a combine you’re not allowed to test him but if a player was not invited to a combine you are allowed to test him that’s the way this goes but one of the things that happened here and there were a number of media members there I saw Shan Shapiro writing from there um was DAV was was demidov’s height and because you I guess there were some rumors he’s about 510 and the reports there said said he’s actually closer to 6 foot one and I guess all the teams are there and a bunch of GMS are there so it’s a pretty big thing there’s a couple other players specifically Russians that people haven’t seen a lot of now I I will say this I have one team that told me that they believe that the word around the league is there is another team out there that wants demidov really badly that is spreading all of these nasty rumors about him that he’s short or he won’t be able to come over the NHL because they want demidov to drop to them I always remember what is the biggest lesson I learned about the draft from Isaiah Thomas who was the first GM I ever covered with the Raptors around the draft everybody lies everybody so it’s the thing you always remember but this guy said to me that he believes there’s there’s teams like spinning negativity about demidov because they want him to drop what did I say earlier about sincerity once you learn how to fake that you got it made see everything but with with everybody there for this kid it’s going to be harder to do that um okay anything else before I wrap up yeah you know I just wanted to note something you know Ryan rovski got hired as the head coach of the Sharks we’ve talked about that but they had his introductory press conference which I thought was very good very emotional but in it I wanted to point out two things that um Mike Greer said number one he’s not treading Logan Couture and number two is that he said that the finalists were not warski and Marco Sturm he said that was incorrect and because I was one of the people that said that I figured I should say that that’s what Greer pointed out now we did mention that Neil Graham who’s the head coach at AHL Texas We Believe went deep into this process so I do think he was in the mix as well but you know I I do want to mention that from Greer because a I’d said it B he would I would definitely concede that he probably knows better than I do and c I would also concede that if I argued with Greer and he punched me in the face would probably hurt so I want to put that out there yes congratulations to Ryan rovski also congratulations the South Carolina Stingrays who have now sent three was a good pull by you three head coaches into the NHL Jared bedar Colorado Spencer carbur Washington and now Ryan warski of the San Jose Sharks had a nice conversation with them on the radio show on Tuesday nice okay on that we’ll hit a break when we return the Montana’s thought line keep it [Music] here listen to the 32 thoughts podcast add free on Amazon music included with Prime [Music] [Music] okay welcome back to the podcast time now for the Montana’s thought line Montana’s barbecue and bar Canada’s home for barbecue you got to tr you know Elliot when this uh podcast goes off the air in a few weeks people are going to miss that squealing guitar and G to miss try the ribs actually that’s not true that has the uh that jingle has the drug that will live with you all summer long thank you to Rick Turner uh 32ths at sportsnet.ca 1833 311 3232 Griffin Porter puts all of these together he is the thought line curator uh first of all let’s go to Brad so Brad has a shout out for you Elliott fredman he says I’m the newlander Elliot was talking about with the sign getting Connor a sign at the lights thanks for the shout out during intermission last night in game four looks like I gave McDavid some magic LOL was nice to meet you Elliots have a thought on that Elliott Brad the newlander you talked about Brad I’m glad you had a great trip I’m glad Connor signed your sign and I’m surprised he didn’t fly you to Florida for game five knowing how superstitious he is should take Shania Twain everywhere is what he should do that’s amazing luck for the Oilers okay Chris and shyvana from Abbotsford BC hello gentlemen day one fan of the Pod here wow I’ve been a fan of the game for 30 plus years and during game one of the finals Phillip that would be Pritchard brought the cup out and it was an amazing surprise my wife asked me what does quote The cupke Keeper guy do when he isn’t escorting the Stanley Cup around I didn’t have an answer for her so our question is what does Mr Pritcher do when he isn’t transporting the cup around he’s probably on vacation to be honest because it’s a full-time job uh there’s there’s the times you see the Standley cup uh out there and there’s lot of stle cup is at places where you don’t see it events um parties uh other hockey related uh goings on um Craig Campbell is the other person we know we know Mike bolt you and I Jeff but I haven’t seen Mike during during the Stanley Cup Final I have seen Craig Campbell who along with Phil and Mike is another uh Keeper of the cup as a matter of fact I think Ron showed it on our hit on Sunday but on the charter that about 60 or 70 of us are taking between Edmonton and Ford Lauderdale they had the Stanley Cup with them uh and the crew the pilots and the staff like just a great crew treated us so well um they took photos with the Stanley Cup when we landed in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday afternoon they took it out of the case and let the crew take pictures with it so that’s your answer uh he’s doing it a lot more than you even see so when he’s not taking the Stanley Cup around he’s either working at the Hockey Hall of Fame or he’s getting a tan somewhere he does a lot of work at the resource center like uh he’s the VP at the resource center and um I’m glad you mentioned Craig Hill as well because he’s a manager over at the research center like the research center is like Toys R R Us for me like you know what Toys R R Us is like for kids the Hockey Hall of Fame Resource Center is a huge one for yours truly uh haven’t been there in a while but I am overdue for a visit and I got to say one thing about Phil Pritchard uh it’s part apology and part praise I bug that guy so much with texts about hockey questions like historical hockey questions Phil is a walking encyclopedia he’s a great hockey historian himself and he is always gracious and even though I know that it sometimes okay maybe always annoys him when I send him innan texts he always says no no no it’s okay stuff like this you know is is is good I never think this way I’ve never considered something like that so he’s someone that even though he’s you know brought a lot to the Hockey Hall of Fame read a lot seen a lot Still Remains curious and obviously Still Remains very interested uh in the Stanley Cup and hockey history so the apology part is sorry Phil I’ll try not to text you so much with crazy questions next year knowing full do I get the same promise a 100 no 100 listen I can lie to you like I’m lying to Phil right now and saying I’m not going to bug him next year but uh a total lie Phil is an awesome dude and a complete treasure in the world of hockey absolutely love that guy here is another one I like this one this is a voicemail from Colin in absord our second from absord today hello Dom Elliot and jeck uh my name is Colin I’m phoning in from beautiful sunny avford BC hope you guys are doing well um I recently saw some picks on Instagram of the now 3 p Kelly cup champ Florida everblades um and I noticed on some of the pictures in the locker room some of the players were holding clippings from the hockey net the same way that like college basketball does it as well so my question is has any Stanley Cup winning team ever taken scissors to the net and the players have taken home a souvenir uh I can’t seem to recall it ever happening maybe it’s been discussed before but you are the ones with the podcast not me so I thought I’d ask uh maybe it could become part of tradition or maybe the NHL does not want their Nets being cut to shreds I don’t know thanks so much guys always appreciate your work and go Habs go boy a Habs fan in abbottford call that that is a great question the only time I’ve ever seen before you answer it the only time I’ve ever seen it was Broder when he set the either the wins or shut out record that’s the only time I’ve ever seen it it was the wins yes so that that was the only time that I’ve ever seen it that was win 552 for Marty badur that was 2009 in a game over the Chicago Blackhawks uh where the Devils won 3 to2 also same night uh sorry Patrick elash uh he recorded 702 breaking the New Jersey Devils record but good luck getting a a headline when Marty berura just got set the wins record that’s the only time I’ve ever seen it Elliott and I really did think after having seen that I honestly thought it was going to become more of a thing like that goes back to 2009 I almost thought like that would become some new goaltending tradition for I don’t know breaking records or winning big games I thought that they were really going to on a consistent basis steal a page out of col college basketball but it hasn’t happened maybe as Marty Bor mentioned when he was cutting it it’s really hard to cut goalie mesh it’s really really hard Colin if it happens now you can say I did that yes you can have your own little corner in hockey history but yeah then and I’m sure there are some listeners that might draw our attention mentioned another place where it happened maybe in another League uh but the only time I’ve ever seen it in the NHL was was Marty badur and Elliot is the same uh and that’s it for the Montana’s thought line for today 32 thoughts at sportsnet.ca 1833 311 3232 the way to get in the Montana’s thought line Montana’s barbecue and bar Canada’s home for barbecue two from aberford today nice we’ll be right back 32 thought today wrapping up another edition of 32 thoughts podcast presented by the GMC Sierra elevation I got to tell you Elliott I really do um enjoy when you’re on the road in the playoffs in the Stanley Cup Final um for your tweets and Instagram posts that give us a slice of your life of what’s happening on the road now I’ve been to the uh I’ve been to the gym with David Amber before it is a very intimidating thing God oh I know it’s and and he stays for a long time like his rout his his workout routine is long and thorough and dry you can tell like he got his very specific routine he knows what he needs to do and and he does it it can be very intimidating David’s a David’s a machine when he works out he sure is you you put up something the other day that I got to ask you about you be EXA and KY bascus working out what’s the deal okay so we were all in the gym together and um Alvin who’s one of the cameramen who’s in great shape by the way he’s in his 50s he’s in great shape and so Kevin goes do you guys want to do a challenge and Alvin was already on the stair master so it was just the three of us like B EXA has these challenges he likes to do so I said yeah okay let’s all do it so uh it was me him and Kyle as the picture showed and it’s basically what happens is you you turn on the treadmill and you immediately go to a 15 incline and you have to do a mile and you’re not allowed to run you could walk as fast as you want but you can’t run so Kevin uh did it in 15 minutes and 3 seconds and he was mad that he he didn’t get under 15 minutes or 15 or under and he complained that the only reason he didn’t do it this yeah so one this is so whiny little Kitt listen this this is how whiny Kevin is okay he’s like well I had to put it up to 15 right away so I couldn’t get it up to a four on the speed like it sounded exactly like that like that’s whiny Kevin well just pour you a warm bath and get you a tea so he goes he goes 15 and he goes his speed is is 4 miles an hour like he’s a machine Kyle I think got it done just under 16 minutes and I’ve gone I’ve gone running in Florida with Kyle he’s he’s a runner right yeah he good he’s a runner so and he was I think he was around 3.8 to four now I did it in uh between 17 and 18 18 minutes uh I was okay I did I start that’s a that’s a big incline man well it’s the first time I’ve ever done it right so uh so I did it in my speed was 3.2 to 3.6 and but the one thing is like he told you you can’t use your hands like you can’t hold on right and I like there were times I went without it but there were times I was like shut up with the no hands I I need to use the hands here so you know I mean obviously I was happy I got it done but I my goal now with this thing is that I want to get up to going cuz I want to get cuz I use the treadmills at 4 and I’ll start at 10 and I’ll go up to a 15 incline but I do use my hands so now especially the higher I get so my whole goal now is to do a mile without using my hands so it’s going to take me a little bit to do this I’ll probably end up doing it two or three times a week till I get it done but for the first time I ever tried it I was reasonably happy except I felt I used my hands a bit too much that was that was the thing that was the only thing I didn’t like about it was I used my hands more than I’d like to but it was a great challenge like bxa has another one he’s done it with um Amber and basically you’re supposed to run a mile as fast as you can then you’re supposed to do uh 100 chinups 200 push-ups 300 squats and then run another mile now you can break up now there’s a certain way to break up you don’t do them all at once you you break them up and Amber did it he did biking cuz he’s not a runner he did biking on either end and I think I could do the squats I think I could do the push-ups I don’t think there is a prayer that I would be able to do the chinups so lot of chines and I can’t run either I’m a I would do the biking also like Amber did if David Amber says it’s okay to bike I look that physique and I said it’s okay to bike but that’s another one I’d like to take a crack at the thing is though for me to do 100 chinups it I might not complete this for six years but I’m going to try to do it I can you H can are you allowed to ask ask juice if you can do it with bands if you could do band assistant bands I could do it the other thing he said is they can be like those like uh like the momentum chinups you don’t have to go all the way down all the way up you can do moment m style too band assisted I can do like 12 to 15 but to me I don’t want to do that I want to do it the other way just just to be able to do it to 100 then work your way in no okay you got be you got to be game you’re starting at game seven you know you start at game one you get to game seven right I can tell allow to start at game one it would be 25 sets of four cuz I can do right now I can do about a maximum of four push-ups I mean four chinups but I think I could do the push-ups and I think I could do the squats yeah do you have a treadmill at home that you can do this on no we I have a p a home treadmill guy I have a p you’re a Pon guy but I’ll go to the gym I’ll go to The JCC and I’ll I’ll do it there but it was you know Jeff like I know like you’re like between Kevin uh Kyle Amber you cuz I know you’re in great shape I am by a mile in the worst shape of anybody here but I like but I like these challenges I am I am competitive like I like the challenges they I need I I need something for the summer for me I was thinking about this the other day like I need something I don’t know what it is but I need 100 200 300 I think that’s a great one that one could be fun and that one could that that one that one I could I could get inspired to do maybe I’ll end up doing that one I just know that I need something I try to do something different every summer is he pushes you into stuff well he he he guilts you and he ridic kills you and it’s no you know what I got to say something he does not he does not guilt and he actually he he like on the air partner on on the air he rips you mercilessly that that is true but when it comes to this stuff he actually is very good cuz he challenges you and then like you know he didn’t want me to use my hands as much as I did but then when I did it he’s like just get through it which is what I told him I was going to do I said I was like be quiet I’m going to use my hands here and he’s like just get through it so I was like uh that’s that was my goal just get through it and I’ll work on making it better and he’s very good about that he’s very good about that Alvin got off the stair Master to take the picture by the way oh excellent Alvin’s awesome please pass along my best I like that guy um the F the first time I saw something similar to what you’re talking about was at the combine a number of years ago I just at the hotel gym working out with Louis debrus our call and he had started working out or training with Gary Roberts and his crew and that’s what Roberts had him doing just like super high incline he’s like I do this all the time this is so good i’ never thought about doing this before uh and he was just and you know Louie like Lou’s jacked and like he’s a bear and he’s doing this thing and I’m like and he starts leaking and I’m like okay yeah this looks really good so I know exactly what you’re talking about like when I do running on the treadmill like I’ll put it up to like I hate running I I love it oh I hate it oh I’ve always loved it man and thankfully knock on wood I I’ve never had the the the big injury so maybe that’s why I love it so much but I could just go go go go go it’s I don’t even do it for like health I just do it for my head I do it more for mental health and that’s good that’s smart just clears my mind before we wrap up I noticed during the game tonight I saw the news I would like to salute 24 time Allstar 12 time gold Glover two time MVP world serious Champion Hall of Famer Willie Maye I was too young to watch him play but over the years I’ve read a lot about him I’ve watched the catch from the 1954 World Series I know there are Legions of Baseball fans who are old enough to remember him who talked about what a great player he was at one time third most uh home runs in history was 660 and uh just a cannon of an arm too so I watched I when I when I I when I was on the drive back to the hotel after the game I was watching some footage and uh just a great great player the Say Hey Kid yes condolences to his friends and family what a ball player
