folks we're back little Friday afternoon pod friday evening i guess it's a happy
hour pod but uh it's happy hour pod yeah yeah but I'm just I don't know i'm tired
i don't feel like cracking a cold one i think I had a I had a thirsty Thursday so I think that's part of the reason I
don't necessarily feel the need to crack a cold one on this right now i'll probably crack a cold one after this but
we'll see how it goes but uh yeah folks how's it going uh apologies in advance
if I'm popping any P's today because I
misplaced my pop filter somewhere around the house i don't know i don't usually
take it off my mic but we used it as a prop in a sketch last night a comedy
sketch and I don't I don't know what I did with it so it's around i just have
no idea so hopefully I uh remember my broadcast lessons from college oh so long ago and uh refrain from popping
those peas what you need to do is slightly turn away from the mic whenever you say a P word kind of like how do you
remember Chocolate Rain the song Chocolate Rain Chocolate Rain and remember how he would be like singing it
in the video and like he would always turn away and then he'd have like asterisks he's like I turn away from the
mic so I can breathe there you go what a time early YouTube
classic that is an early YouTube classic right there but uh yeah my my mic feels so so naked otherwise i mean this is how
I think most people use it but I've had a pop filter forever it's a good tool right there and uh you know for a crude
transition but one that works uh a a P word that has come up recently on the
podcast a pineapple we were talking about last week the lady who tried to throw the pineapple over the fence and I
have an update on that she made it she threw the pineapple over the fence
unbelievable thank God thank God yeah i mean I've been on pins and needles all week waiting to hear the update so I was
having quite a day i was walking Brucey the other night in South Philly and I
just had like the weirdest like little walk so first I'm not going to go and do the screen share because I don't feel
like it but the first thing I saw was this creepy ass doll head that somebody
placed between a chainlink fence and a a wood fence there's a lot of stuff like
that like in Fish Town too like Yeah like creepy little Easter eggs just kind of scattered around the neighborhood so
I enjoyed that but it was also creepy as hell and then uh we had our pineapple update
so yeah they they made it into the lot and uh God bless Wonderbar yeah I was
talking to a couple people and it seems that the pineapple came from the Italian
Market Festival which uh it traveled a long way baby to get there uh at least a
mile into that part of South Philly and I guess somebody left it in front of her house which is why she asked me if there
was a fair in town or something okay yeah but it still doesn't so she tosses
it over the fence right that's the thing it doesn't resolve why she didn't just throw it into a trash can into her own
trash mind you she just decided I'm going to carry this a block and toss it
over a fence into the slot i'm going to do I'm going to litter in a way that is
wildly inconvenient to me rather than just throw it into my trash and not subtle at all like she's drawing quite a
bit of attention to herself tossing this you know pineapple over a fence like it's a bouquet at a wedding um so I
don't know what she's I don't know what what her objective there was like certainly it wasn't subtlety it wasn't convenience so I don't know what she was
doing well subtlety is not a word that is known to South Philadelphia apparently not i guess not yeah yeah um
you can say that about the entire city of Philadelphia really but especially South Philadelphia it is it is a brash
bold part of the city i was uh walking
somewhere in South Philly and I saw just like an outline of a human body on the sidewalk and I was like "Fuck yes this
is What part were you walking on?" Uh I can't remember the name of the bar we went to but we went somewhere for
karaoke uh a couple weeks ago me and Joe Dearini a
challen's happy birthday bar i've been there multiple times but we were not there we were somewhere we were
somewhere like pretty far down in South Philly okay okay
i could keep guessing but it doesn't matter because it could be anywhere really but Oh cool you saw the chalk
outline that's a a comforting site right there it was great yeah it's a classic right i hope it was real i really do it
honestly that also could be 5050 because much like the doll head that I saw you
know it could just be a weird art project by somebody or it could be a legit chalk outline of a body who's to
say do they still do that anymore though like the chalk outlines oh I I'll be
honest i have no idea if my if my neighbor across the street was still a cop I might go and ask him but he moved
out like two weeks ago so I can't ask him anymore yeah that's a bummer that does suck maybe the new neighbors are
cops i don't know i go ask just show up at their house and go "Hey are you cops?" That's not suspicious at
all that doesn't make me look shady as [ __ ] be like It'll be like the scene from uh The Departed where everyone's
just walking by they're like "Hey you a co-op you a co-op is this a co-op?" The
Boston accent the Boston accent you know just like the Philadelphia accent they The Boston accent is just uh it's
musical you know it's comforting i wish I just had a uh white noise of the
Boston accent to put me to sleep every night yeah of course yeah i mean what better to lull you to sleep so Oh
nothing better nothing less abrasive in this world than the Boston accent c
certainly you wouldn't listen to ocean waves lightly crashing that's actually what I listen to is it actually yes i
actually I because I can't be trusted with my own thoughts and I need distractions wherever possible i have
like two fans going a dehumidifier and ocean waves i do need a fan that's a
non-negotiable that has to happen um and then I run very hot so I don't I don't
play like sound effects when I go to sleep because normally the fan's enough for me but if I had like if I did play
sound effects I think I would play Rain Pouring Down um I do love that sound
because it's just like a constant like kind of low hum or whatever and honestly
Steve tonight I may not need that because it looks like we're all going to die tonight in Philadelphia like it
there's a tornado warning there's a flood warning there's a coastal flood like I don't know what's going on so we're having a good time folks yeah a
tornado warning is just wild so yeah if I suddenly if this podcast starts to just like swirl about and I'm in the air
then uh so long thanks for all the fish uh good night and good hockey we may legitimately
be thrown out of the frame of these screens during the recording of this
episode and it's because of the tornado so you'll just be watching us and then whoop just there we go and it it'll kind
of be like in uh Django Unchained um when uh when the girl's like say good uh
or when Django says goodbye Miss Laura and she's like bye Miss Laura and then he shoots Miss Laura and she goes flying
backwards that's kind of what it'll be like there you go yeah yeah i I'm thinking you know classic Wizard of Oz
like now if this is of course uh my final words right here uh just tell my
dad that I did it all for the nookie and he'll know what I mean as you should
what else what else is there in life Steve there is nothing else in life and you know who's getting just a a little
bit of the old proverbial nookie right now tyson Forester tyson Forester who
has signed just a little modest deal a little bridge deal and uh we got some Flyers news to talk about it's a little
bit of Flyers news but it's some Flyers news there's a few things going on this week it's interesting there's some irons
in the fire the hot stove is starting to heat up somebody's got one of those big like accordionss that they use in like
oldtimey like fireplaces and they're putting it on the the embers for the flyers and there's some stuff heating up
but let's start with Typho uh two deals signed in the past two days tyson Forester and uh Helga Gr i believe
that's the pronunciation right helga Gr i think it's I don't know i just say Helj i know that's probably not right
but uh Helga from Hey Arnold right i remember someone suggested that that is
actually the pronunciation but let's let's call him Hely G like uh Severance
Heli and uh Heli signed a two-year deal and Typho signed a two-year deal uh for
very different money i actually have no idea what KR's deal is for but very little very little it doesn't matter he
might not even be with the big club in fact my expectation is that he won't be i did like the limited look we got at
Grs last season i thought he was pretty solid he seems Yeah yeah he seems like he's been solid for the Phantoms uh he's
very good for me in video games he's the second pair defenseman for me of the virtual Flyers right now so he's got
that going for him so clearly the potential is there but um yeah I like Grimes no not not much to really comment
on on that you might as well give him a shot and see how it plays out because the defense is kind of
interesting over the next couple years where we we've said this a few times i like a lot of the pieces but I don't
necessarily know who's long-term and who isn't for the Flyers defense right now there's a lot of things that could
change a lot of that depends on free agency this year a lot of it depends and next year obviously a lot of it depends
on what they do at the draft and I heard the combine could get spicy which I've never heard of in hockey before that
would be awesome if that's like the thing this year it feels like every NHL offseason there's like a weird thing
that happens and it's like maybe this year will be the year like where the
combine is the new place to do all the negotiating because I know the draft is now decentralized so it's not like GMs
can just walk over to the you know it's not like the Flyers can just walk over to the Minnesota Wild table and be like
"We want to talk Rossi." You know what I mean maybe maybe that's where it's going to happen maybe it's the combine that'd
be kind of fun could be it's getting spicy for sure and uh we're going to get into Rossi in a couple minutes i'm
excited about that that's a very intriguing conversation right there yes it is but uh Tyson Forester signed a
bridge deal and there was uh some speculation for a few minutes that maybe he could sign a longer term thing you
know I don't know that would probably be more beneficial for the Flyers but maybe a little bit more of a gamble on their
part but one that could pay off for them in the long run but Tyson Forester decided to gamble on himself so he
signed a 2-year $7.5 million contract on Thursday aav is 3.75 million so 3.75 mil
cap hit a season i like this a lot i think that's a good figure for Typho to
be making frankly I think for the value he gives you defensively you're getting a little bit of a discount right now but
uh yeah I'm I'm into it yeah I do too i think this is a very fair contract for him right now and that's quite literally
the whole point of a bridge right like you go ahead you secure a little bit of a bag and then you ride that out for a
couple years and then boom you pop off and then you get a big payday for the Flyers and for Tyson Forester's sake
let's hope that that is what happens let's hope that you know this season he takes a major step forward and then the
season after that maybe he takes an even bigger step forward and then it's time for him to get you know 8 mil like 9 mil
like just given how much the cap is going up players are going to start making eight and nine mil all the time
um well especially somebody who can do as much as Tyson Forester can because
Tyson Forester is a guy when we talk about him we say like his his potential
is like a light version of Mark Stone which is pretty fantastic because Mark Stone is one of the best defensive
wingers most of us have ever seen i think the only other guy who gets talked about as a defensive Yes marian Hosa is
the only other guy I've really heard talked about as good defensively as a winger as Mark Stone is and Tyson
Forester I think if he can turn into any version of Mark Stone is pretty outstanding and look he finished last
season it was funny because like he is streaky as far as his scoring goes and we were a little worried that he was not
going to surpass his goal total from the previous season but he ended up uh surpassing it by five so he scored 25
goals 18 assists 43 points uh so some nice progress he had 20 goals 13 assists
33 points in his first season so yeah Typho really does look like he's progressing if he can score 30 that's if
he can score 30 and play top-notch top six defense for you that is a great damn
player to have on your team especially when you're looking to make that next step yeah and you know another thing to
take into consideration here I think he can certainly hit 30 and I think you know he he could do it as early as the
season and the reason I say that is because um of the goals he's scored this year um you
know like he scored eight on the power play right that was a terrible power
play Steve it was horrible and it makes you wonder like how many could he score on a good power play and I don't know i
I wonder if you know maybe next year he gets like 14 power play goals or something like that um there could be a
jump that could happen you know like what if it turns out that like in this new iteration in this new under this new
coaching staff maybe he becomes kind of one of the power play aces uh he hasn't
been but that's not to say that it's impossible that he would be you know so maybe under this new um coaching staff
he could kind of flourish under a new power play because it certainly wasn't happening under Rocky Thompson obviously
I am obviously I am so excited to actually be getting change from this
team like we don't know what the player personnel changes are going to be yet but
seeing the coaching staff is going to change you know we've had some frustrations with namely Brad Shaw and
you know Tocket being a Flyers alumni and a guy who hasn't had a lot of success elsewhere but it doesn't putting
all that aside we want to remain optimistic we want to think okay the Flyers are going to do good do well now
in the next few seasons like we want to try and shift into that mode it seems like the Flyers are trying to shift in that mode you never want to go in too
negative if you can help it uh you couldn't really help it when Tortoella came in because of a lot of the moves they made and also Tortoella's
reputation tocket we've talked about this he is known as uh a lot more like
wellliked by the players uh with the exception of Elias Person but let's put him aside now i think Forester is like
such a key guy but yeah like the coaching staff difference is going to be huge i can't wait to see a new fangled
power play i can't wait to see Mishkov like whatever he does under this new regime but also to see how they use
Forester because he was used a lot with Noah Kates in often a shutdown role
there were games where they were the shutdown line because the Flyers center death was lousy and you know they didn't
really have much of a choice and I don't know if they're going to break that pairing up or what a lot of it's going
to depend on what kind of moves they might make for the rest of the season but I want to see Forester hit that if
Forester and Mishkoff both hit 30 goals next season and you got to think that
there's a good chance that happens you got to feel pretty good about this team's chances for at least competing for a playoff spot yes like and that's
the thing like we kind of talked a little bit about it last week i or maybe it was the week before I can't remember
Steve time doesn't exist but it doesn't flat out but I feel like next year is the year where I'm going to start having
some expectations for the Flyers and I want to see them take a considerable leap not a huge leap but like a
noticeable a a step forward and one of the reasons I say that is because I'm
expecting Matt Feishkov to like really you know I'm not saying he needs to have
100 points or else he's a disgrace i'm not saying that but I am saying like who's to say i mean he's already hit 60
points as a rookie why not 70 you know what I mean so maybe that happens tyson
Forester he's at the age now where it's like you know what let's see what else he got what else he got Tyson you know
show me what you got show me a 30- goal season i don't care like listen if he if it's if he has a 50point season I would
lose my mind Steve that'd be great that'd be incredible 30 goals 20 assists that would be very very good i'd be
happy with that i would love that i think if you can get him to 50 points and 30 goals you can get Mishkov to 70
points and 30 goals you've got a hell of a team on I mean TK if TK had more
support I think TK should have easily hit a point per game pace he had an opinion 76 which is really good that's
nothing to sneer at at all but he should have gotten more it's It's crazy that he
still got like It's actually impressive that he got 70 plus points considering just how in his head he was for like two
straight months like after dude it was it was bad like he and he he admitted it he was like "Dude I was like I'm in my
own head it's hard to get out of this and blah blah blah." And I mean I don't know if he ever really totally got out
of it like I know he ended his scoring draft but he never looked the same way that he did earlier on in the season
before for nations and he admitted after the season too he was like "Yeah I was really like going hard to try and make
team Canada." And then when I did I was like gassed and so yeah it makes you wonder like you know he may try and do
the same thing next year to make the Olympic team but um I don't know man like it it I think
it's going to honestly I think it's going to make a difference having a team that's more in the mix because I think
these guys were painfully aware that this team was going to kind of suck this year yeah uh between having their backup
goalender was Ivan Fedo you know their best one of their best players was a
20-year-old rookie there were a lot of factors against this team and I think that made TK pretty loose and confident
at the beginning and he also pushed for that but I think he's going to and I think he admitted that if they were
pushing for a playoff spot that that drought would have probably been worse on him mentally at the end of the day
but you know I I think those are going to be different factors so here's an interesting thing i'm looking at the game log for TK right now so the Flyers
final game of the regular season was April 17th when do you think TK's last
goal of the season was scored when was it april 17th april 17th is the last game of the season
his last goal of the season was certainly in March [Music]
um I'm gonna say I'm gonna say March 18th march 23rd against the
Chicago Blackhawks oh wow that's a pretty bad little drought right there
not good he had several droughts man like after after four nations he just couldn't score and well he scored in
back-to-back games the 22nd and the 23rd and then before that he hadn't scored
since February 8th against the Pittsburgh Penguins it was over a month and then before that he hadn't scored
since January 18th against the New Jersey Devils and we're talking at the beginning of the season like for a long
time he was easily in the lead for Flyers goals it wasn't close and then
the fact that Mishkov surpassed him at the end of the season is just wild to think about i think there was I remember
there was a point where from like January till the end of the season there was a point where he was averaging less
than one goal per month which was now granted it's only like a
couple months but like still that's real bad you don't want that you don't want
your best the mo the highest paid player on your team should not be scoring one goal a month i don't care if it's only a
two-month sample size that's too many months with one goal like that's real bad it's really bad and again if this
team was competing for a playoff spot that would have been a big black eye like the previous season when the Flyers
were in the mix until basically the last day of the season you know having a
drought like that from TK would have been a big thing that like the more impatient fans in the fan base could
have pointed to and said this was a problem that he didn't do that now again the circumstances are different this
season and also it's been better that the Flyers haven't It's better longterm the Flyers haven't made the playoffs past two seasons because they've gotten
better draft picks but it also sucks because we want to see the I was rooting for that team to make the playoffs a
little bit i know they would have gotten smoked but I just miss playoff hockey so bad i want to see it so damn bad i just
I miss you know whenever I have that itch to see like playoff Flyers hockey I
just watch the Mike Richard shift video and I'm like "Dude one day one day it's
going to be tied 3-3 Flyers Devils wild card round at the at the far
excuse me the Xbox and and Mishkov is
just gonna like score the game winner and the place is gonna [ __ ] berserker it'll be game seven
Steve people are throwing their bras onto the ice like the good old days people are throwing People are
throwing stuff onto the ice un much like Maple Leafs fans but this time it'll be
clothing um Oh man we're not a Maple Leafs podcast right now non- Jerseys I
should say yeah people won't be throwing their jerseys on the ice my boxer briefs My Boxer briefs are going onto the ice
no doubt yeah what would you would you throw your box of briefs on i would I would do that i There's no way they're
getting off well what I would do is I think during intermission before overtime I would be
like "Well we're going to win in overtime so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to the bathroom take off my
boxers and then go commando for the rest of the game taking it for the team and
then when someone scores I throw my my my underwear onto the ice i will say
that Steve playoff games are typically in the summer and all of my shorts are
much comfier than my jeans yeah so if there was a time that I would go
commando it would be it would be with my my soft
comfortable shorts on as opposed to my jeans which are not great for Mr johnson
or get or or or get some good Lululemon uh
joggers those things rock they're way too expensive far overpriced but they're
good are they a little too form fitting for the downtown region steve that's
just something that you gota you just got to let it happen you know i'm just going to put it this way i'm not John
Ham so I don't know if that's a flattering look for me bold of you to say that I
wouldn't find it flattering Steve i don't think anybody that includes Emily there's Yeah yeah yeah it's not It's not
It's not the look i'll throw my I'll throw my man's ear out onto the ice there you go i think one too yes
uh I don't have a man's ear for the record uh or a bro i don't have either of them uh Frank Castanza be damned but
one of the guys there's a guy out there so one of the big problems for the Flyers you know is the center position
mhm and it just so happens that the Minnesota Wild have a young center that
they don't seem too keen on and the Flyers have been rumored to maybe be in
on the mix for this guy and we've seen a lot of rumors flying around about this
and you have to remember with rumors half of them are [ __ ] okay so find
your way through it take it all with a grain of salt but the fact that the Flyers names are even being mentioned is
undoubtedly a good thing but Marco Rossi who we've mentioned a bunch on this podcast who you're a huge fan of my
friend is available on the trade book i have been a Marco Rossi stand since
before he was drafted when he was playing for the Ottawa 67s i thought he was the greatest thing since sliced
bread and I remember at the at the time I was covering the Minnesota Wild for SP
Nation RIB and uh basically it was you know I think that was like the COVID
year um it was like a I think it was maybe it wasn't I can't remember but it's been forever but um I remember he
fell to the wild and I was like if these [ __ ] idiots don't take Marco Rossi
they are as dumb as an organization as people think they are um and they did it
they actually took Marco Rossi and um in the end it's turning out that they are
the dumb organization that everyone thinks they are because now they're trading him because they are who we thought they were because they are who
we thought they were Steve and we're not letting them off the hook this time the Flyers they're going to sweep in there
and they're going to get him now I know that you're right there's a lot of rumors going on right now one thing that
is a fact i mean there's too much noise for it to not be fact is that he is out
there marco Rossi is gonna get traded like unless something crazy happens it
sure sounds like they want him gone because it sounds like they want him gone it sounds like he's unhappy he was used in fourthline capacity in the final
playoff game for them right yes he led the team in points Steve what are we
doing a team with Carill Capri off yeah well granted granted he was hurt but he missed like most the season but but he's
still like you know like that the thing is that team like he it's impressive
that Rossy was up there in scoring yeah and like he's very young he's
23 he's 23 years old Steve and he got 60 plus points like most of those came
without Carell Capriov we were just talking about how happy we would be if
Tyson Forester got 50 points yeah Marco Roxy just got six 60 unbelievable he had
24 goals 36 assists um so I I just you know I I have been bullish so bullish
about um this um you know this player i I love Marco
Rossi and it's it's a match made in heaven steve the the Flyers need a center he is a center he's a good center
and he's young get out there and make this and
make this happen and so so I'm just I just want to pull up his stats because I want to confirm but like I know that he
is he he's a phenomenal player and he's exactly what the Flyers need and now they're going to have to give something
up to get him the Flyers don't seem interested in that exactly um it certain certainly seems like there's a little
bit of hesitation there based on these rumors that's the key word rumors um
but Steve according to one of these rumors Flyers are hesitant to give up a first
round pick for this guy that's blasphemy if that's true um
oh excuse me i was in I was incorrect matt Baldy led the Wild in points this season excuse me you idiot you are the
dumbest man alive let me tell you I am a dumb dumb [ __ ] i really am you [ __ ] just so stupid but um you know I think
that is some gamesmanship from Danny Brier out there because look you shouldn't trade the top you shouldn't
trade the number six pick for anything less than a stud right cuz you're going to get a good player there uh you're
going to get at worst you're getting somebody like Martone or if you're feeling really stupid Brady Martin don't
do it i don't think he's going to do it i think it's just lazy rumors from the insiders but talking you're likely going
to get a very good player at six and don't really trade that unless you're getting an absolute stud rossi is very
good though he's not quite an absolute stud but like he's a really good player
i would Yeah I would in a heartbeat trade one of the later picks especially
Especially the Oilers pick the Oilers pick as now that they're going to the Stanley Cup final the Oilers pick is
it's not worthless by any means like you're still probably going to get a a talented hockey player at that point but
yeah it's basically a second round pick like it's a real late pick and yeah you
could probably get somebody good but you're not going to get somebody better than Marco Rossi is now yeah yeah like
what seven eight years ago the 31st or 32nd pick that's a second round pick
there were not 32 teams a couple that long ago so um yeah I I think I'm very
much in favor of uh making that trade getting rid of that last that Oilers pick now granted the Wild are probably
looking at that they're not going to be disillusioned to thinking like listen we un we know what that is that's basically a second round pick like you have to
give up a little bit more than that the listen I would be okay with the Colorado pick i would not be opposed to
trading that pick because you know what you're using that to essentially
purchase someone who's essentially a first round pick player you know like
Marco Rossi was drafted i can't remember exactly what his position was but he was an early first round pick um and you
know why not use that draft capital to acquire someone of that talent who may
not even be close to reaching his ceiling yet he's only 23 right i don't under Well I understand why he would be
putting out this out there as you know Danny Breier being he in this case because it's gamesmanship it's you leak
certain things to the media you play this game where you're basically saying like "No we wouldn't do this by any
means." you know you're trying to play the game it's all poker at the end of the day they're playing poker through
the media and it it becomes more transparent every year just how much they're playing poker in this regard so
it it's frustrating to read all this somebody who is so plugged in as we are
you know we're seeing all the rumors we're seeing all the comments i say this like like we're getting the texts
directly from the agents like we don't get that okay even my fake insider Brindy he's not getting it but like I'm
That's a thing I've been thinking of i'll talk about that later but I It's
just not a thing right like they I'm sorry like I've got a little sidetracked here but going back to it like there is
just a lot of [ __ ] out there okay so take it all with a grain of salt the big takeaway for me is the Flyers are
interested and there are comments about it and I think there's some back and forth they might be saying they haven't talked to Bill Garin but I don't know if
I'm convinced that they haven't talked to Bill there is dialogue h it's it's like I don't think these rumors are
coming out unless dialogue has happened could the details of these rumors be accurate no maybe but maybe not and so
um you know like you have to think that the Flyers are smart enough to realize
this is a really really good young center we need this we need a player like this
and listen if the Flyers get Marco Rossi that does not solve their center problem like you like let's be real that he is
not I mean I'm I'm not going to sit here and say he's not a 1C because who knows what can happen but like more than
likely he's a really really good 2C and then from there like you got listen man
you got to get yourself a 1C a bonafide 1C somewhere um Rossi will probably in
all likelihood not be that but that doesn't mean that it's like it's still okay to go out and get a good young
center who may not be a 1C there are other ways to acquire 1C one day well
this is where the this is where the draft of it all is so interesting too
because if the Flyers ended up in the top four they were almost assuredly
going to get a center who would likely be maybe not necessarily a slam dunk 1C
but with the capability at six everything is so up in the air it is so
up in the air the guys that are floating around at six you know we're talking a lot like Schaefer is not gonna be there
okay Schaefer is going top three i'd be very surprised if he fell out misa is not going to be there misa I'm not
holding my breath for Misa at all he sounds amazing i don't think there's a chance in hell he's there however after
that it gets really fuzzy you know you keep hearing about DOA being around dooo
could go anywhere from I think 3 to seven at this point you know it wouldn't
surprise me anywhere in that range so you hear about DO a lot you hear about Hagens a lot hagen sounds great i would
love if Hagens felt like that a lot yeah Hagen's such an interesting one you look
over especially after he singled out liking Claudger he apparently he was a big
Claire fan so you know we we're something of a Claudger expert ourselves over here yes yes we But but yeah you've
also got so you've got Hagens you've got Day you've got Fondell fondell has a real possibility of potentially being
available at six and I've you know heard some pro comments on the Flyers end there or at
least like seen it floating around the internet and then there's of course so Jake O'Brien's an interesting one jake
O'Brien I've seen mocked to the Flyers a couple times i think uh the Prawnman Wheeler latest mock draft they did had
Jake O'Brien to the Flyers at six and I was ready to uh kind of say like Pramman
doesn't know what he's talking about with the Flyers and then I look back at like his last three mocks from right
before the draft and they were like dead on i was like oh well there could be some smoke to that o'brien is an
interesting one i've heard some good stuff about him i like him a lot more than what I've heard about Brady Martin
who Brady Martin there was a funny comment from from old Kery the other day
about Rafy Torres and Brady Martin which is that doesn't seem accurate based on what I've heard about Brady Martin i'm
gonna I'm going to disagree with Kevin Crows on that one yeah well I think he was saying like somebody said like Rafy
Martin Rafy Torres was drafted at six and uh he was like well Rafy Torres did
some what did he say did some good stuff or something like that it's like no he was a notorious He was like Delta
difficult and or something like that yeah but like Rafi Torres was like a notorious like he wasn't a goon but he
was heard some dirty players he was dirty as hell malinesque but without the talent of Malcolin but uh yeah Torres is
notorious over there and then of course you have so Martin I mean he sounds like a big hitter he sounds like a real like
flyers type from the Homegrren or Clark eras over there i don't know if current
era flyers are going for that uh Roger McQueen floats around i would be very mad if the Flyers took him at six if
they did what Charlie Oconors floated and traded up one of the other picks to try and get him I'd be okay with that
but I don't like getting him with the six just due to his injury problems it gives me Nolan Patrick just flashbacks
and I don't like that brandon Weak Kings too the the Weak Kings are cursed young players who are injuryprone
he's got he's got neck is or is it back issues i believe it's back back i don't after Sean Couturier i'm I'm freaks me
out i'm not into it and then of course so the interesting thing in all this too though is we talk about the center
position but one of the guys that there's a possibility of falling to the Flyers at six and he probably shouldn't
is Porter Martone who it's big body winger right there who
sounds like he's got a really nice scoring touch marton's available at six
and let's say like let's say like Hagens goes in the top five like he should
let's say it goes like she Schaefer Misa uh Mar Schaefer Misa Fondelle Hagens
right and uh I guess Schaefer Misa Fondelle Hagens doy okay let's say it
goes like that you going Marton or O'Brien probably Martone
i think Martone might have the bigger ceiling and it's frustrating to take another winger but what I would
love falls to you then use one of the other picks trade for our buddy over
here Marco Rossi oh my goodness Steve profit look at the big brain on Steve i
think that's I think that's a good idea and like listen um I do support the take
the best player available ideology um you can always trade assets you know you
can always make trades yeah if you have a surplus in something and you see you know like let's pretend like right now
you got in terms of right-wingers you got KKnne you got Mishkov you got um you
know Bobby Brink you got uh I don't know like who's who's the right wing on the
fourth is that uh I guess Garnet Hathaway garnet Hathaway gary Gary H so
like I mean that's some good wingers right there um if there's a kid who's
just crushing it in you know juniors or college or the AHL with the Phantoms
like it's okay to and you're totally confident that that can translate to the
NHL after giving him a look see um then you know maybe make that trade make
obviously you can't really trade you're not going to trade Mishkav or or connect especially not especially not Mishkov
but like you're not going to trade connecting now either because the contract but like you know and listen
man it pains me to say but like I love me some Bobby Brink but if
it comes down listen if it comes down to and I think we're going to get into this a little bit so I don't want I
actually this is a great transition let's talk about it right now so who would right who would you trade so
that's one of the things I've been thinking about a lot we had a conversation in the Slack recently that
by recently I mean this actually happened like three weeks ago but we've been so loaded up with topics over the
past like three podcasts that I haven't been able to get it in so this week I'm getting it in which that sounded dirty
but I was about to say yeah hey Steve yeah i almost said I almost said bazinga
which is a horrible catchphrase from a show I'll never watch in my life but uh no offense to you big bang lovers out
there but it ain't for me but uh so from a scale of shut it down to flavor town
yes which players would you be likely to trade and I think Bobby Brink as much I
love Bobby Brink I think he's a lot of fun I trade his ass in a second for a Marco Rossi there are very few players
who I would not trade for Marco Rossi Yeah the I the only guys I'd really have
some hesitation like I think Tyson Forester I'd have some hesitation like I
like to I I like Tyson Forester's defensive game so much and the fact that he's already potted 25 goals and he has
the potential for 30 plus i think Tyson Forester is just such a fantastic piece for this team moving forward that's I
I'm on the verge of shutting this sucker shut it down yeah yeah yeah so like
optimally all right so I'll I'll say this i would I think this doesn't have to
necessarily just be for Marco Rosie like anybody like in that center right area
that you need addressing you know because really that's the main area they would be making a a big trade for well
let's I'm gonna I'm just going to say let's say let's say it is Rossy that's what I'll that's what I'll do um so you
know or or you know what how about just like a top six center doesn't have to be
Rossy yeah um so I would hesitantly trade Tyson Forester um but I wouldn't
be happy about it but like again that just goes to show my confidence in in my
belief in the player of Marco Rossi in this instance um or if it's another sure
thing top six NHL center um I think that's really important for
the Flyers right now is to shore up the middle of the ice they are struggling and it's so hard to get players like
that and so sometimes you got to take sacrifice yeah I think that's just I don't know i don't my faith in Rossi I
think doesn't quite go to the degree that I'm I'm sacrificing Tyson Forester
but Bobby Brink and it's funny because we're talking point differential of two points here but Tyson Forester big
defense good where Bobby Brink small defense bad which is a difference maker
for me i do love Bobby Brink's creativity in the offensive zone mhm i
think my main thing with Bobby Brink is Tyson Forester i see him in the top six
for the Flyers for years to come and Bobby Brink I'm not so sure i think he
might be more of like a third line scoring winger but see that's I love if he proved me wrong i can see it though
and the reason why is because we've seen how good he is at five on five he hardly contributed on the power play this year
on a good power play it's pretty easy to assume that he
would have a substantial bump in um point production um and plus his
defensive game did improve it did improve it was a hot mess last season
yeah like I remember I think it was um I think it was Tors actually tors was just singing his praises towards the end of
the year he really really liked what Bobby Brink was becoming um I'm a I'm a really big fan of Bobby Brink i think
he's developing he's showing very encouraging development um and I just I believe in him i believe in Bobby Brink
but that said you have to make a sacrifice to get a good player and I would also trade Bobby Brink as well
bobby Brink I think is Yeah I would definitely trade Bobby Brink and just let's complete the line here noah Kates
who I love i think Noah Kates is awesome he does have a few years though on Brink
and Forester you know he's more he's past his mid20s he's now on the verge of
his late 20s you know he's I think he's still mid 20s but like he's 26 right yeah so yeah I think that counts
approaching the late 20s great defensive game i I love what Noah Kates brings defensively i think he was such a a
solid player for this team this year showed a nice scoring touch put up 37 points this year noah Kates is an
awesome guy to have in your team no hesitation for me that's it we're going to Flavor Town as far as trading him for
a top easily easily I would trade him yeah not not a question um
and I'd say also not a question of Sean Couturier but nobody wants that contract i was going to say what about the other
setters Steve um Sean Couttori is undoubtedly a setter and that's the only role he could possibly fulfill on this
team he's not one of those centers you're switching out to the wing there's no point in having Shawn Couture at the
wing but because he has also he's their best at faceoffs easily so Couturier
being good at faceoffs and also you know he's got the head for the defensive game and everything one of their few plus
players not that plus minus means much but hey he was a plus one and most of
these Chabronies are like minus 17 18 over there so I just said that about our two best players in Connect and Mishkov
but you know Couttori we all know he's a great defensive player when he's on his game but the problem is his contract is
just insane it's awful yeah and and you know what you can't you really
like the timing of the contracts was strange um I don't know why they let
Chuck Fletcher do anything for last year like he he should have been on thin ice
and he should have just been not allowed to do anything and he signs that Couturier contract contract and the
Sanheim contract which that one seems to be working out pretty good so far it's okay yeah it's not bad i think that's
going to look a lot better as the cap goes up to be honest like having a what six mill a season defenseman locked up
who is playing top pair minutes on that note Steve would you trade Travis Sanheim
i actually I would not I would shut that one down i You're shutting it down i would shut that one down yeah I that
one's a tough one for me uh yeah I don't mind the contract too much he is a top it would depend on who the guy is to be
honest but yeah I I'm leaning more towards shut it down myself you trade Travis Anahheim what do you have on the
like honestly like what's the closest thing you have to a number one defenseman right i mean it's probably
Cam York at that point and I like Cam York but like yeah I don't I don't but I
also like Cam York's one of those guys who we're really there's a lot of questions about Cam York this off season
i would trade Cam York cam York I think I would trade i didn't like whatever the
heck went down with him and John Tordella it showed I'm feeling like it was a lack of professionalism on Cam
York's part i know there's some frustration with your coach and everything but whatever the
confrontation that he got into and him was was that shouldn't happen that shouldn't happen and you shouldn't you
should be able to control yourself a little bit more than that um and I know Tors is the ultimate needler the
ultimate guy who pisses you off but like I it shouldn't have gotten to that point on both their ends so that makes me
question Cam York a little bit just the fact that I think this was a great opportunity this season for him to really step up and cement himself as a
mainstay of this team uh he's an RFA you know this was an RFA contract year is
not the same as a UFA contract year right where any team can pay you i mean any team can pay you for an offer sheet
but like you'd have to really like go above and beyond or show some like high-end potential
and I don't think he's shown us anything that high-end that makes you go like
"Yeah there's not a chance in hell York can leave this team." Yeah no like I I
like him but I think there's a couple things one that like I want to see more development coming from him i want to
see him taking that next step whether it's defensively or offensively like there was a point where I was seeing his
offense start to get going and I was like "Lovely this is very good this i I enjoy this and then that took a step
back and his defense got a little bit better but it just seems like it's been
a lot of up and down you know I would like for the Waves to kind of even out
and just stay the same but it's a lot of this and um I don't know not to not to reference
that uh Vonte Davis clip from Hard Knox back in the day rap Vonte Davis um but
yeah like I I think I would like to see a little bit more from Cam York and honestly like how will he do with Rick
Tocket i'm that's my one of my biggest questions is like there's a lot of guys
I'm wondering how they're going to do with Rick Tocket cam York's one of them for sure who are the other ones though
because honestly I think Connectney will do great connectnne I don't have any like I have all the faith in the world
in him at this point if he can make Yeah if he can make Torrance he was one of Tor's favorite players he loved
Connectney he drove him crazy he like Tors admitted all the time he drives me [ __ ] insane but like he's he's a
great player so um yeah so connecting I think will do great with Tocket obviously Mishkov is going to be great
with talk i think who wouldn't love Mishkov i mean he's just the man i don't think the Flyers hire unless it was
like slam dunk like you and Mishkov are going to vibe you know what I mean well and we we all heard Sean Couturier's
reaction where he was like "Cool." Yeah yeah what a phone call what a video i do
think he'll like Coots i really do cuz he plays the right way it's shocking to me that John Tortoella and Coots didn't
get along like I cannot believe that there but there were a lot of shockers there like I couldn't believe that Kevin
Hayes and Torts didn't get along to the point that Kevin Hayes had to get traded for nothing to the St louis Blues yeah i
think that was more just like I wonder if that was just like a personality clash cuz like Kevin Hayes is like this
fun like goofball dude in tors i don't know how he does with players like that
so right well clearly not good yeah but yeah so like I I don't know man cam York
I'm not totally sure how he's going to do with it um Yeah I think Well Cam York
is just increasingly I don't know like a lot's going to depend on who they get in the coming drafts too there might be
some free agents that could be intriguing on defense another player I wonder who like how they'll do talk is
is Tippet and that brings up another question Steve would you trade we were
we've been talking about this in the BSH Slack so much one for one tippet for Rossi would you do that i would do it so
fast problem is I don't think one for one would happen no I don't think that at
all it shouldn't it shouldn't happen and this is just because and I man I want
Owen Tippet to work out so bad because what he does on his best day is
ridiculous it's so entertaining like he gives you what you want from a modern
hockey player where he's got the size and the speed and the skill on his best day Owen Tippet's that four-point
powerhouse from that Columbus Blue Jackets game that just tears it up he's doing the spinama against the Dallas
Stars you know Owen Tippet can bring it when he is really really on but he's 26
now okay he has not cracked 30 goals he's come close he got 28 the previous
season 27 the season before i thought he was going to do it this year he took a big step back this season and that was a
bummer for me and it makes me concerned i don't want to I don't want to trade
him lightly like I don't want to trade him for nothing but if you're trading him for a guy that could be a key piece
for this team and really cement because they got wingers and they got wingers in the pipeline you know they're going to
have wingers cent's the real pain point there and I want more from Tippet you
know even if he doesn't get traded I'm not expecting him to get traded but if he doesn't get traded I really want to
see a lot out of him next season i want to see him so his career high is 53 points i would love to see him at 60 i I
think he's very capable of it and I want to see him hit 30 goals and he can hit
30 that's not a question i know he can hit 30 well it but if he hits 30 I think
he can hit 60 he's getting top six minutes yeah yeah honestly Steve where I'm at is
I think I think Owen Tippet is absolutely capable of 70 points i think
he has that i swear to God i don't now am I saying that he's going to no not at all because No but he has the physical
attributes like he has I I He's got the shot he's got the speed but he can't hit the [ __ ] net the same his life
sometimes i do think he has the potential to be a 70-point player like you know one player who reminds me of
this like and they're completely separate players like not similar at all style-wise but like I remember when MueL
Grland Granland whatever it is when he was on the Wild he was like his first
few seasons as like a full-time player he was like a 40 30 point guy right then
he explodes for a very nice 69 points like just out of like just goes nuts and
I can see Owen Tippet doing that where it's like you know he's a 40 guy 40 point guy maybe he'll have a 50 point
season and then boom 75 points you know what I mean i could just see that happening um again I'm not saying that
that's going to happen but that wouldn't like if Owen Tippet let's pretend they've the Flyers trade him and he goes
somewhere else i wouldn't be stunned at all if he just put up a 70point season
but at the end of the day even if that were to happen I would still not regret that trade you know
because I don't know it's it's just it just feels like it's I don't know i just
want to see more from him i mean this is a big year for him if they don't trade him it's a huge The consistency is a big
question it's a really big question and I I don't know what to make of him at this point i was excited for him i
thought we actually potentially got not quite a steal in the Claudoo trade but maybe Chuck Fletcher found a diamond in
the rough or something and look he's done a lot of good things for this team and as I said on his best nights he is
so thrilling he is like as fun of a hockey player as there is to watch i think the only guy more fun on this team
at his peak is Mafe Mishkov because well Maf Mishkov is the one guy on this
entire roster that is a I ain't trading him for anything less than McDavid and
even then I'm like I' I'd pause for a second like obviously McDavid's the goat
or not the goat but like he's the guy the best in the game you know McDavid's unbelievable so yeah you don't but like
Mishkov is like just such a gamer we we've said everything about Mishkov we
don't need to talk about Mishkov today because we ain't trading him for anything less than McDavid okay I'm
putting it out there now maybe McKinnon maybe McKinnon i do love McKinnon oh I do too he's freaking workhorse i love
him he's great but Mishkov is the one guy that I'm not trading for anything
less than a superstar mhm everybody else even Travis Kenkne who we talked about
it last year you know like we were saying I'm not training for Marco Rossi but Yeah yeah yeah yeah if I don't know
let's say a a top tier setter not one of the elite guys we just talked about I
the Flyers trade for any of those guys I would take off my pants on the podcast and get arrested but uh it would be a
bad time but it'd be a good time but it would be it would be I would just lose
my mind if they did something like that but Travis Kenkne if you were going to get a truly like very very good top tier
star center at the top yeah I would do that but Travis Kenki he is the heart and soul of this team you know he's
really really a solid player and I think he's just going to flourish if they can get some more center depth to help this
current team so yeah yeah I I wouldn't there's not a lot I'd trade Travis connecting for but I would consider him
more than I would Mishkov yeah I would I would consider that as well um it's I mean obviously it would be hard because
I don't think it's really that possible now like I guess anything's possible but like it's so unlikely that I'm not even
entertaining it um it doesn't really make sense either i mean you signed him very clearly to be your face of the
franchise while Mishkoff is coming into his own and Mishkov became the face of the franchise basically overnight
overnight yeah and he's still one of those guys he's wearing the A i think there's a very real possibility that if
Coutureier gets dealt or retires at some point in the next couple seasons that TK could be the guy wearing the C i really
think it's a possibility oh I think so and well here's another thing like you know back to Tyson Forester they just
signed him to that contract extension they're not they're not treating Tyson Forester like I would be surprised i'd be surprised in general just because
like he fits the vibes really well and he's a guy as I've said his defensive qualities his offensive capabilities
like the fact that they actually have goal scorers now like that was the big problem during the Claude Drew era was
who scored goals wayne Simmons and Wayne Simmons occasionally Scott Hartnull yeah now one thing I will say is if Tyson
Forester was like still unsigned and it's like you know late June then I'd be
like "Dog I think you might want to maybe maybe get that Marco Rossi." But
um the fact that he's signed now like clearly they're not going to make that trade um Kates is the interesting
one there because Kates is rumored to be go or not rumored he's going to arbitration so you know I don't know it
seems like there's a disagreement on the exact value with Noah Kates right now and again he's a little bit older than
some of these other guys we're talking about minnesota boy Minnesota boy bobby Brink and Noah Kates both Minnesota boys
uh is Paling a Minnesota boy too i believe he is a lot of Minnesota guy
well you know why chuck Fletcher but Chucky Chucky Chucky yeah Lakesville Minnesota was his birthplace yep that's
right so yeah and Ryan Paling obviously I like Ryan Paling a lot i would not hesitate now ryan Paling almost anything
ryan Paling was not a Fletcher uh acquisition but that's true that's true but it feels Fletcheresque but I I do
like Paling yeah I like Paling because he's got he's got some speed that down
in the bottom six and he's been a solid presence down there he's I think he's a perfect 4C perfect no I I and he and he
can fill in a 3C whenever you need him to and it doesn't feel like a huge downgrade because sometimes when like
not to throw Scott Lton under the bus but like when Scott Lton would have to step in there at 3C you're just like
Jesus Christ like or to take it real to take it back to a decade ago or so uh
Chris Vandervel when Chris Vanvelty get in there you're like "Oh what are we doing Dave Hackl do I have
to see Chris Vandervelty for 12 minutes tonight i don't want to see that awful i can't still can't believe that but I
think I got one more big one one more big one for you okay yeah what's that jamie Dale
flavor Town baby flavor Town you're all for a trip take me to Flavor Town i like Jamie Dale and I do think he still has
potential i do still I'm not ready to give up on him but if we're talking to
the Wild about Marco Rossi and they're like "All right give us uh second round pick and Jamie Ddale."
I'm like "You bet your ass let's do it right now." No that's an intriguing trade right there i I think Jamie Dale
came a long way last season and I I really I like the player i love just
like much like with Owen Tippet I I love the raw physical skills right like I
think he's just his skating is fantastic i think he's got some really good puck skills his defense while much better now
than it was the beginning of last season still ain't great uh and he's not scoring quite enough to really
justify not being great defensively as a defenseman you know when Shane Gaspar
would not have great defensive seasons but he'd put up like 50 points you're right no complaints from my end mhm
right complaints from the other fans but not from me yeah I need to see more of the offense from Jamie Ddale and we've
seen what he how he plays when he has that confidence um I think he has the
confidence now i hope it stays that way uh um this is going to be a big year for him too you know like we I I need to see
more of the upward trajectory and I need to see the consistency um but you know
right now where we stand right now I would not hesitate if if the Wild were like "Hey what about Dale?" Which they
would not do because Dale is not a big hulking behemoth of a man that seems to be what they want to do so now if they
were like "Hey how about uh first and Nick Cer?" Because they
used to have Nick Cer and uh they if they did a first and Nick Cer I would
drive Nick Cer to the airport i would laugh very hard i love Nick Cer i'm a
big Nick Cer like defender like we were talking about with Ryan Paling right where Ryan Paling is like a perfect 4C
he's a perfect Nicker is a perfectly exactly six seven guy where you need him to sit in the press box and eat some
fire shaped pretzels he's not going to mind he's going to be fine with it but then he'll be out there the next night
blocking a shot with his face because that's who Nick Sealer is that's the man yeah he's not like every now and then
he'll he'll maybe give you a liability play but it's few and far between yeah not that often really and like honestly
like NHL defenseman do that all the time like even good defenseman look awful every once in a while i've seen Drew
Dowy get turnstyled so many times and he's one of the best of this generation so yeah yeah no it's it definitely
happens quite a bit and then uh obviously we're not trading Rasmus Relina for anything yeah because he's uh
because he can't be traded because he gets constantly hurt for life but where
was the rumor there i saw a rumor floating around like last week that like apparently the
Flyers Leafs really tried to extract wrist and the Flyers like no way the Leafs apparently offered the Flyers
quote unquote the moon was it Gary Bruce Gary from the from the Senators beat I
think put that out there perhaps yeah because like it was like rumored for I think it was Gary OC from the senators
like talking about the senators like maybe targeting him I don't know how much I trust that like I think Gary O is
actually a good reporter so I'm not putting that on him but I don't know it's like it it feels like too secondhand for me like the guy told the
guy told the other guy you know like whisper down the lane yeah yeah no that
it does kind of sound like that a little bit so I I I don't know I I do know that
Keith Jones is the biggest Rasmus Risto lion head on the planet i do know that
Risto was very good last season before he got hurt yet again
but I it's whatever he's never getting traded i'm It's not worth talking about but yeah we would trade most of this
roster is what it comes down to for a proper top six center for this team
except for Matthew Mishkov and maybe not Travis Kadknney uh and maybe not Travis Sanhe sanheim I would keep i really
would because like he is a top pairing guy and I'm excited to see him under because Taket's already [ __ ] over the
moon about it he's already Yeah he had some very positive comments yeah he's so excited to coach Travis Sanheim so I'm
very curious to see how that goes sanheims really turned himself into a workhorse post Ivan Prover that was one
of the big concerns when the Flyers traded Proof away was Prover whatever
you thought about his play for the last couple years here he was still eating a ton of minutes like he was playing like 25 26 minutes a night so you were
worried about who were going to play that those minutes and Sanheim has stepped up to the plate for the most part you know there are some up and down
stretches with his play but overall I've been very happy with it i think if you could get him a proper partner at the
top Travis Sanheim's a top pairing defenseman i think he is yeah I think he
can be a top pairing defenseman is he like an ideal top pairing defenseman probably not but like he's he certainly
can play that role i really I would say I would say he could be I think he's like an ideal like number two i think
you need somebody to play with him though mhm like optimally I would like for him to be a second pair of defenseman but also I feel like that
would be like luxury situation you know what I mean like right that's you know I'm talking you know that's you know
Nashville Predators from a few years ago when they had like everybody you know what I
mean Ryan Ellis PK Suban uh Yos like it
I mean crazy they they're just a defense like the Eagles are a quarterback factory the uh the Predators are a
defenseman factory right yeah so that would be what I'm thinking is like on
that kind of team he would be a second pair of defenseman um but on the Flyers like I'm totally fine with him being a
1B you know like a or like a a second a number two guy i think that'd be totally
fine if they get somehow a really really really really good player to play 1D so
excellent excellent excellent well next week we'll get a little bit more I
imagine we're not going to have a ton of news next week but you never know but uh we'll probably try to get a little bit
more into some of the draft topics but I don't know i think we know the guys for the top like seven eight at this point
uh we've talked about them a lot but hey why not talk about them some more we'll see what happens real quick before we
sign off we have our Stanley Cup matchup and uh stop me if you've heard this one before
uh let's Hold on Steve let me take a guess it's the It's the
Pants and the Lurs right the Lurs the Lurs yes oh the Oil Boys i've never
heard Lurs by the way yeah the Pants and the Lurs lurs Olrich over there oilers is too drawn out we need to shorten the
name so the Lurs Oilers is Lurs feels hard to say lurs it does yeah oilers
seems way easier to say than Oilers is way easier yeah i'd rather call them the ton the
Edmonton the ton yeah the ton yeah they're tons of fun to watch but yeah we're getting a rematch of last year's
Stanley Cup and uh we're all a little disappointed about it just because we wanted some variety but at the same time
it was pretty damn good Stanley Cup final last year so we're going to see some good hockey i think we're all
rooting for the Oilers this year though we've had a little bit too much of the Sunb Belt you're not nope go Panthers
because uh Operation McDavid 2026 operation McDavid 2026 i need him to get as fed up as possible and of course
Kachchuck is just the man we've talked about it i [ __ ] love Kachchuck you do you You love Kachchuck i love Kachchuck
man i'm kind of I do love Operation McDavid 2026 and who knows what they
talked about on that plane ride back from the Four Nations tournament but uh
look I need it i'm I'm tired of the Sunb Belt wins i I need And Canada deserves
this like listen steve who are you i'm I'm somebody who's tired of seeing Florida win hockey all the time
unbelievable i will say it is dope as [ __ ] when there's a home Stanley Cup
game in Edmonton and they're doing like the national anthem and everyone in the crowd is singing there's the guy in the stands and everyone's around them
they're singing well and you know it's going to be extra intense this year with all the political tension between the US and Canada oh [ __ ] yeah
it's going to be like four nations all over again it's going to be good yeah i hope we see some We might see some fights
great i I'm into it i'm into it big time yeah for sure all right well we got our Stanley Cup uh prediction what are you
feeling right now even though I'm rooting for the Panthers I'm going to say Oilers and six i'm
going I'm going Oilers seven really okay so you're going down to the wire yeah
okay i I am dubious though just because of the goalending situation where manski
he's so good man imagine imagine having him and letting him go
look at this before I throw up he's bounced around a lot he's had to build himself up to this point he just became
a playoff stud a couple years ago and that's where he is so we all miss him i've talked about this a lot i've been
podcasting as long as the Flyers got rid of him so that's uh you've got years and years of content to look up for my takes
on that but uh yeah they should have kept him on the force but they didn't so sad yeah probably probably a I think a
summer episode is the uh the Flyers quarter century should have kept team but we'll get to that at some point yeah
well yeah that'll happen at some some stage yes absolutely we are going to go sign off and enjoy our Friday nights
