  1. The world juniors are coming at the perfect time if there are a lot of games canceled in the NHL. I don't mind postponements and what's going on as long as the winter classic goes on as scheduled.

  2. Anyone who said it would take two weeks to stop Covid at the start had no fucking idea what they were talking that so whit bringing that up is useless. Historically pandemics last 4 years. Sorry people, it’s time for people to start to recognize that

  3. 33:00 when people are dying in the streets cause there’s not enough icu’s available in hospitals that’s not society functioning properly

  4. Shootout to grinnelli straight outta Burlington, best wishes from Dracut, don't lose the home town flair bud👏🏽🤘🏽

  5. We won't see McDavid vs Mathews in the Olympics until at least 2026, maybe ever. Tragic. They need a world cup.

  6. I better not see RA’s ugly mug in letterkenny season they’re shooting in Sudbury right now 🧐

  7. Playfair was great on here, hopefully you have him on again soon, and hopefully he gets another shot as an NHL Head Coach.

  8. Just an FYI, there is an Australian in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Tommy Dunderdale, born in Benalla, Victoria, Australia.

  9. Omicron is producing symptoms milder than the flu. Why not shut down for the flu if you're going to go down this road? This strain of Covid comes fast and goes fast. Numbers are already coming down in South Africa.

  10. People are coming from over the world to america for bs like festivals if it’s thats serious America and Canada need to do their part to shut down any other travel bc unfortunately Mexico isn’t gonna be regulated but lock us down in our ours borders and any new variants from Asia and Europe won’t get to us. Then maybe the rest of the world will buckle down too but also there are simply just hardheaded people. Grown people in America who don’t wanna do the simple things like even wear a mask w/wo a vaccine and that gets to the wrong people and they’re dead.

  11. ..As Long as N.H.L r in the next Olympics, All~Star, e.t.c is needed. Otherwise players won't get their stars, & recognition For Drafts, e.t.c. Sydney Australia solid Salute☝🏼🌉💫

  12. I have a new respect for Ryan Whitney! I appreciate his comments on hate towards free choice!

  13. Biz was one of my camp counselors at hockey camp for a week about 10 years ago, such an awesome guy🙌🏼🙌🏼

  14. Pat mcafee have RA a shoutout for breaking the Olympic news and another shoutout for bein hilarious, one honest guy anyway

  15. RA, I can't put this any more simple than this. Nobody gives a fuck about sources or giving credit or any of that shit when it comes to being the "first" to break some news. They just don't. You aren't creating anything, you're reporting something, and therefore, nobody cares where it came from, only that it's true. You reported on it before it was verified as true. So nobody gives a fuck. You can tell us that your source is solid all you want, nobody gives a fuck, because unless it's official VERY soon after, nobody does give a fuck who had the inside scoop. Credit for creativity and credit for being the guy that claims "first" in the comments, or on a story, are 2 entirely different things. Nobody gives a fuck who the first comment is, just like nobody gives a fuck who the first to report on something unofficial is.

  16. Holy F Biz😂 too much info on the subscription services there budz 😂😂and RA if u ever in Peterborough bud and u want someone to smoke some drugs with, 🤙 hit me up😂

  17. I was goalie as a kid till I was 18..so ya man, trust when I say goaltending is a very mental game. If You loose focus, or u let your gf or some off ice BS get to u, it will effect your game no matter how much u prepare. I love seeing these journeyman get their chances, I just wish it had of been me, but I stopped playing cause of injuries..but I played AAA most of kid years, and played one year junior C before I packed ur in and let addiction get to me..but anyway love the podcast boys👍

  18. Walker's one playoff game was not in the finals, it was game six of round two vs Pittsburgh. He set up Alex Chiasson from behind the net to put the Caps up 1-0. After Pittsburgh had made it 1-1 the game went to OT where Ovie fed Kuzy on a b-way for the 2-1 OTW to finally get the Caps past the second round and finally defeat the Pens in a playoff series

    Edit: he corrects them the second time it was mentioned just before the end of the interview

  19. Saros is easily the best goalie in the world right now, proudly carrying on Rinne's legacy in Nashville. And he'll get zero recognition for it from the North American media.

  20. I never imagined this guy would end up being an NHL player when I first heard of him in the Czech rep.
