DNVR Avalanche Watchalong | Colorado Avalanche vs Carolina Hurricanes
live. What is up, chat? You ready for the watch along? Can we get Can we get some Nordique’s logos in chat? That’s one of the emojis we got, right? Mhm. Yeah. Pop off. What What did we order today? Got me a teriyak burger. I don’t know that I’ve ever had that. Slice of pineapple on it. Disgusting. probably why you haven’t probably I probably look it up and see there’s pineapple on it and go nope good bad ugly initial initial bite you have to follow my Twitter to find out oh my god this guy I have spent minutes on that cheerlist entire minutes. They’re so quiet. Yeah, I know. You don’t have all the bar sound. Well, don’t worry. You’ll hear random cheers starting in the second period. Yeah, it’s Nuggets opener, so we’ll be Oh, man. He makes He makes that jersey look so good. Does he make that jersey look good or does that jersey make him look even better? Mother of God. I mean, he’s got to be stopped. Kind of weird that he’s worn 84 for seven games and this is the number he’s getting like like his kids has the number 84 in a heart on her jacket. Yeah. They’re giving him a little abs plaque when he’s played. It is very very strange. Yeah, good luck with that. Sorry. Oh no. Can you see the clock at least here? Can you see down here? Won’t that be a little behind though? Close it off. Cool. What are we eating for dinner tonight, chat? Or all of you East Coast and European people that ate dinner hours ago? Is it a teriyak burger? Thank you. I like this shirt, too. I like the colors. Was it just trees? Yeah. Okay. It’s like really faded, too. It’s lost a bunch of the gets more. Yeah. Every time you wash it. Mhm. His helmet looks hand painted. It’s wild. Excuse me. Ribs. I I like ribs, but I don’t like barbecue sauce. So, just a nice dry rub. Yeah. Give me a little salt and vinegar dry rub. Oh, yeah. You are a salt and vinegar stand. I am. Uh, I don’t know what you mean by Jerry’s. Dro, are you trying to say jerseys? Cuz you can get them at Altitude Authentics, I think. Probably at Fanatics. Yeah, the NHL store or whatever. Possible. That line was crazy. Yeah, there you go. There’s the Nord’s logo kind of. I mean, if you’re on YouTube, you can see what it actually looks like. Yes, we have altitude here. That is the feed we are using. Lemon pepper ribs. Culture. person of coaching. Lemon pepper is fine. Yeah, that’s good. All right, let’s watch a game from the 80s. Wedgewood’s pads are high comedy, by the way. There’s like brown leather looking. Yeah, they’re just old school looking pads. Tiny. Well, yeah. They have to be half as big if they were going to be that old school, but it’s a teriyak burger there, Keith. All right, here we go. Hockey is being played. Riveting. Oh, Anderson’s got the same kind of vibe with his badge. Must have been a coordinated thing, I guess. Yeah, you got a cute little whale. Yep. Minimalist. I don’t mind it. I’ve always been a Wow, they actually put Hartford and Quebec on the score bug. I kind of hate that. Yeah, that’s not right. Like, it’s I know they’re on a lot of things. They’re not They’re They’re literally playing in Colorado though. Like Yeah. I kind of hate it. Like I guess I don’t know. Like I know it’s a Nordik’s jersey, but No, I haven’t heard anyone refer to this as a Quebec no Nordik’s jersey, you know? It’s like it’s avalanche throwback. Right. Right. I don’t know. I feel like that would piss me off if I was from one of those places more than just back. Yeah, I think the jerseys are cool. Trying to pretend that you are Quebec is stupid. No, that he his actions forced the puck back into the zone, so it should have been offside anyway. It will never die. Dude, I didn’t I respected it honestly. His answers on Twitter was like, “Yeah, man. I didn’t see any contact there. I don’t know.” They concluded it was Yeah. Yeah. There’s nothing more I can say. Great work from Mwood there. That’s crazy. That guy gets three wax at him by four players. Fast and loose for sure. Yeah. Oh, burns. Was that a snap twig or did he just lose it? He dropped that thing. Why not? Continues. It’s not an ABS game without a couple snap sticks. I don’t know anything about goalie sticks. Scott Wedwood apparently not very good in his career against changes to tonight. I hope so because he’s up against the Whalers. True. He’s not even playing the Hurricanes. Facts. Wait, wait, wait. of which at this moment has a 100% save percentage against Harvard [Laughter] exquisite stats. Yeah, it’s a little odd, Kyle. I’m with you there. It’s definitely weird. And the thing is like are they going to do this against like real teams too? Like they play they wear these against the Habs in November and is that game going to be Montreal versus Quebec on the score bug? I hate that. I don’t know. I think it’s a special because it’s the Hartford throwbacks as well. Maybe. I doubt they do it. That’s what they’re playing. They’re wearing it for five games. They’re not like seven. Yeah, everyone. Well, everyone’s allowed to be wrong. Yep, it’s a mask. They’ve got the little yeti foot imprints on it. That’s kind of cool. I thought it was just like fingerprints of It does look all like the way it’s painted almost looks finger painted. It does, right? Fourth line. Big bang. Yep. Should be icing. Nice. Is it is is it just the Carolina feed? I I guess I don’t know how it works in Canada. Is this a national game in Canada? If you’re stacking the pads, you’re taking the spirit of the throwback a little too far. Yeah, they still want to win the game. They don’t want to play like it’s the 80s. You’ll you’ll live chat. Spirit of Dominic compose you. Not been a lot to the net early for either team here. Obviously that one chance from Carolina, but I mean until this possession, it’s looked like just a half step Carolina’s way. Yep. Oh. Oh wow. Wedgewood just gets beat clean. That looked like a beautiful shot. See it on the slow-mo, but I think he’s short side. Yeah, I think so. Bad day to not be Connor Helbuck. Hard to tell a lot from that angle. Well, that’s bad. Wedgewood’s just off his angle there. You can’t get You cannot get beat short side from there with that shot. Plus, he’s kind of clearly on autopilot. Shots going high and low. Yeah. Um, I mean, he kind of does his job to push him to the outside there, Taves, but yeah, it’s also not a ton of pressure. I guess clean. You’re expecting your goalie to have that angle every time. Like, plus there’s no pass, so he could have come out a little more. Yeah, it’s easy in hindsight. I mean, what do you do now? If that’s the only goal you give up in the game, who cares? If that’s a sign of more goals to come, you’re in trouble. Okay. The uh ABS have never trailed by two. Might be draw penalty and score. Okay, never mind. Forget anything I was saying. Second line, by the way. So my horn, by the way, my heart is healed. It’s just that easy. I don’t know who it was in chat, but somebody called the [ __ ] out of this, good job by Nelson to recover the puck. And then Nuke just goes to the net and gets a backhand drag. Brother, look how far out he can bring it. Andy dropped the glove a little bit. Top cheese. I would love to let you know, but maybe hooking the absolute crap out of a guy. 53 52 51 doesn’t even slow him down. We’ll just uh we’ll just pretend the first four minutes of this game never happened. All right, let’s uh the score again. Oh my god, what a Nelson. Well, we talked about looking young again. Sometimes simple hockey, baby. We unassisted, too. No way. Nelson’s going to get an assist on that. They’re going to change it. Yeah. Yeah. Such a good backhand drag. That was crazy. Play a little baseball in a past life. Like thought goalie’s getting back over. You hit his body. I Maybe this game will just never settle in. All right. Maybe it’ll just be chaos the entire time. And group do it. Oh, pocket pick clean. All right, Wedgie, need your big here, bud. Yeah, or just walk it right to close. Wedgie, you gota cover that. It’s fine. You didn’t give up a goal. I’m I’m not mad. I I’m just disappointed. I’m not even disappointed. It’s just cover that. Oh, what a drop. Do it. Okay. So, no rest in this game for anyone. Hello. Yeah. Okay. Five. Ever. Five. Chaotic is a great way to describe the last five minutes here. Ah, he’s fine. You’re bleeding, bud. Oh, that have been so sick. So sick. Uniforms. [Laughter] Like he tried to do way too much, but then Wedgie just couldn’t cover it and chaos came to the door. Yeah, you punched him in the head. Come on now. You can’t do that. Oh, wow. That was a lot closer than it looked. All right. I said the second line had to be good. They’ve got a goal. I said the power play’s got to be good. Keep it rolling. Good little play. Awesome. Not going back to the blue line there. It’s It’s cranked up because they know that’s what you want to do, so you look somewhere else. Yep. Love that. The correct read, the correct play. Good opportunity. You had a rebound. Marty just couldn’t quite find it for you. [Laughter] Look, they said it back to the era. Yeah. They said it’s the 80s, baby. A Quebec Nordics once once won a game where their starting goalender who played the entire game had a save percentage below 500. Oh my god. He gave up seven goals on 13 shots and they won eight to seven. Goending optional. I only I only know this because that’s the worst ever save percentage in history for a win. It’s got to be unit two. What do you say? Can you at least get in the zone and get set up? Yes, but only just. And then you What? What was that? I mean, that’s Bro, what is what happened there? What? Like, Ly’s got to look. First of all, you can’t just blind pass it to the blue line cuz you nearly gave up a two on with a horrible, horrible decision there. But also, no, no one’s even close. What the [ __ ] is Brent B? Like, where is Brent Burns? I mean, Landy expected him to be there. Yeah. pretty clean backand the blocker side. Great. I would say the opposite of great even. [Laughter] Yeah. Now you have a problem with your power play. Um it looking good and not scoring is one thing. It’s actively costing you. I mean, I I’m not gonna fault them too much in the Utah one. They only got one power play. But if they’re getting scored on in your power play and you’re not scoring on your power play, you have a big [ __ ] problem. This is flashbacks from N aka the power kill era of the Colorado Avalanche asking the age old question. Can you decline a penalty in this game? Maybe they should like Burns is up high right here. Where does he go? He chases in. I Burns has to say something there because Landy is doesn’t recognize that Burns is coming backside and chips it back to where he’s expecting Burns to be while Burns is darting towards the net. So, he has to say deep or or get it deep or something to Landy there, which is also no chance that that’s what Burns supposed to be doing. Like, that’s not the play they drew up for seem like certainly wasn’t what Landy was expecting. All right, start whacking at him. Almost. That play just took a little bit too long to develop. It fell. Oh, you [ __ ] Come on. You didn’t turn it over. At least this boy needs grippier tape on his stick. Good second chance. I really did. It’s a high octane game, but have not minded how the ABS have played at five on five. Obviously, it’s just that power play that’s a disaster. Carolina pretty aggressive chasing pucks out high in their own zone. You got to work it deep. Ambitious making things. The angle got me good. Oh my god. It’s a weird line, too. They had Nuke, Mac, and Olson out there together. Boom. Clippy. Simpler times. I mean, I don’t think there is a single coach anywhere in the NHL that goes to their players and says, “Yeah, blind drop, pass it to the blue line, do that.” No, I mean, it’s just I don’t know. It’s so telegraphed. The AB’s favorite play. And I mean, you have Kale Mar, you know, so it’s very routinely the best place for the puck to be a lot of the times is at the blue line, but it’s they’ve passed up so many opportunities, they’re not even looking the other direction, which is the direction they need to go eventually. Yeah. It just blows my mind. I don’t know. It’s got to be talked about at some point in the locker room. It is It is a fair point. I do think at times the abs get a little bit too comfortable with f it. Macar’s up there somewhere. He’ll figure it out. Like I’ll look at him. Okay. What? Food food there, bud. No, I’m sorry. I mean, we’ll eat it if it’s free. What’s happening right now? Uh, no. This jersey is going to be on a lot of games. Seven games total this year. I believe the thing is like their power play isn’t this bad as the statistics show, right? The ABS don’t you could have no power play coach and the ABS power play would still be like 15 to 18%. They’re not a 10% power play. They’re just in a cold streak. But when you start doing stupid stuff like that and goals start going in against you on your power play, then you need to tighten up. You need to start getting serious about stuff. What was Mo wearing? Number 68. That was weird. There’s nothing wrong with a drop pass in the neutral zone in your setup breakout. It’s the blind pass to nobody in the offensive zone that’s the problem there. I mean, it’s definitely on Burns to not be in that position. But it’s also 100% on Landisk to just assume to not to not know where he’s passing to and passing it directly to a hurricane player. Like that’s you can blame Burns 100% for what he does wrong, but that’s also something Gabe can’t do. Very weird things with the lineup now. I don’t know. I McKinnon just took a shift with Nelson and Nushkin. He was taking a shift with Nushkin and Olivesson earlier. Oh, no. All right, it’s fine. You have enough tooth back. Good initially. Okay, good job. You’re lucky that dabs came up with that buck there. All skill, baby. Oh, power through. They do this. I know people don’t want to get like merckked into the end boards, but I don’t know if I see a team that does this as often as the ABS where they’re going back so casually into their own zone behind the goal line to collect pucks. Like they just let teams get to pucks first sometimes and I hate it. You know, just take your hit. Yep. Sometimes you got to surely that hit the guy on the bench, right? Yeah. Can you challenge for that? Nah, not if it it only in the offensive zone. Once it leaves the ozone, it resets everything. Okay. Sick. I do kind of find it hilarious how cute of a little whale the icon is on the shoulder patch when a whaler is murdering whales. Yeah. Come here, little guy. Should be a bloody bloody spear on their shoulders or something. I did this for uh How does that go in? I want to see how this goes in. This is I mean I’ll just watch before I say anything and that shows literally nothing. Oh jeez. just off of his leg. And oh my god, I don’t know. I I feel like this is somewhat a regression to who Scott Wedgewood actually is. Yeah. Like the ridiculous pace was just not going to keep up. I don’t I mean I don’t even know if it’s all that different from who Scott Wedgwood has been so far this season, right? He’s gotten beat twice and then that was absurd. I mean, of course, if he gobbles it up, it’s better. Oh. Oh, you got to shoot that high, bud. Yeah. Anderson’s on his belly. All right. Well, the ABS have officially trailed by two this season now. Should we just start the uh these jerseys are cursed conversation right now? They just straight canled a jersey after after getting whipped. Burn them. Burn all of them. I mean, hopefully we get to learn something about the ABS here. If they’ve never trailed by two before this season, I want to see them go Hulk mode. Those goalie pads certainly look cursed. But yeah, you know, I feel if if this doesn’t light a fire, what is Yeah, I need some How many situations have they needed to play with urgency that they just nah. Yeah, it happens a lot. But yeah, I I think the ABS have played fine at five on five. The skaters, you have some not great stuff from Wedgewood. Maybe a bad bounce and then the power play was bad. Like I don’t know. What do you What do you want your defense to do better on the first goal? I not a ton. Your goalie just got to have the angle. I don’t know. Like I said, I think Taves could put a little bit more pressure on. There’s no pass to cover. There’s nothing to do. He’s not skating hard at it. He’s giving him plenty of room to pick his spot. There shouldn’t be a spot, though. That’s the whole thing. Yeah, but this NHL buddy, they’re gonna find him. They’re gonna find him. I’m not I’m not saying it relieves. No, no, I know. I know. But but just like how Landis Cog’s bad passes on Burns, but mostly Landiskcog. It’s like it’s on Wedgewood, but also Sure. No one’s ever exclusively at fault. Third goal that game, you get a shot from the perimeter that you shouldn’t be that mad about. And it’s mostly just a bad bounce, but also Wedgewood’s got to send that rebound to the corner. Yeah, his rebound control there was not very good. And the bounce went against him, right? Like that could have been anything. There’s very routinely something there. Hey, there’s a save. No rebound. That’s why we had to do it. We had to get the mini pot in before Wedgewood collapsed. Um, can you find a goal? If the ALS can find a goal in this period, I’d feel better. I feel a lot better about things. Not that it’s not over by any stretch. This Okay. Well, don’t do that. Oh, [ __ ] you. That’s not pushing his pad in. Are you [ __ ] kidding me? I mean, all right. Uh, if Kale Mar is going to do that, the ABS will just lose the game. They don’t push this pad in. He just isn’t flexible enough. He’s trying so hard to stay flat and he can’t. Oh god. Oh my god. Cool beans. Oh. Oh, he gave up. They chased him in 14 minutes. He gave up four goals in 14 minutes. I don’t blame him. Yeah. I mean, yeah, that one. God, Kar can’t turn that [ __ ] over. That’s horrible. And the confidence they have in him, too. There is no one counting even having a contingency plan. There’s two guys wide open in front of the net. It’s not even a good shot. It’s not even a great play. and Wedgewood just crumbles. Yeah, like a little me wee character. Can’t uh can’t physically keep it out. All right. Well, now something crazy is going to have to happen for this to uh get back to a game for the ABS. supposed to be. Yeah. Yeah, I mean Wedgewood was bad. The ABS are bad. I actually don’t think they’ve played that bad a five on five right up until that exact play, but then that play happened, so what can you say? Comedy of errors, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, we might get into some interesting topics on this watch along. Am I like on the wrong Wi-Fi? The connection in here is kind of rough. Yeah, my phone auto connected to a Wi-Fi, which is weird because I don’t remember ever doing that. And there was no internet on it, actually. Yeah. About 11. Yeah. It’s bad. It’s bad out there. I don’t know. Maybe the Nordique should move the Colorado. That’d be Yeah, some with some competitive edge. Great P is how that name should be said. Sure. Either way, thanks for becoming a member. I’d say put the Nord’s logo in chat, but maybe [Laughter] Oh no. There’s nothing to say. They just have to be better in every facet of this is ridiculous. Yeah, there are I’ve given the ABS a lot of credit for good process so far this year, even in two of their losses, but their good process has kept those games close at worst. Right. There this game good process is meaningless if you’re down by three. Like, oh, he snapped his twig. The luck. Is that a sign of things to come? No, I’m gonna go with no. And you’d love to see them ramp it up even more, but I’m afraid that they might just go away. Yeah. Yeah, I don’t think they’re not playing hard, but you should have an extra gear in the bag if you’re trailing by multiple, right? Like, go big hit, make a statement. [Laughter] I don’t know that there’s a lot of places that go out. I mean, I’ve never been there, so maybe I’m wrong, but [Laughter] yeah, I don’t if this game ends four to one and the ABS look reasonably fine for the rest of it, it’s pretty easy to write this off as two really stupid mistakes and a goalie that just had a stinker. like yeah that is the silver lining is that they’ve played unsustainably bad. There’s no way they can keep up at this level of I mean you could call it bad but it’s just really unlucky like just not enough due diligence. It’s funny Gabe. That’s funny. Thank you, Daniel, for becoming a member. Look, these are the nights when it’s best to become a member, cuz sometimes the chat might be more interesting than the rest of this hockey game. Chat does get a little wild when the AS are losing, too. I’m not worried about Landis Gogg at all. Like obviously that pass was heinous, but he is the best possession forward on the Colorado Avalanche. He scored a goal last night that the universe just decided to scam him on. Like he also has two points so far this year. It’s not like he’s pointless or anything. Oh, just let it go in. Nice keep Nelson. Kind of bad gap from Manson and Burns there. They backed off so heavy. [Music] Well, I tell you what, the EBS get 45 shots on goal in this game. And they’ve got a chance. If they keep up that pace, they’ve got a chance. Don’t take a penalty, Marty. Nice. Got to get off the wall. Yeah, there you go. Finally. Oh, bro. No. Yeah. Well, look, the good news is in one minute you get to reset. Do it. Are you just shoot? Just shoot, man. You delay. All right. Maybe it’s wobbling. You got to settle it down. Whatever. But the quadruple clutch it. What are we doing? He’s playing Rocket League. Goalie comes flying out of the crease. [Music] The ads are like just get us out of this [ __ ] period right now. Not a bad look right at the end. He did at least shoot it. He did. It’s, you know, uh, all right. I don’t think we have to say a whole lot. Your eyes in the scoreboard say enough about that period. We’re going to take our intermission break. Who knows what we’ll be talking about when we come back. We’ll see you in a bit. Hi, Mike. I know exactly none of you want to hear this, but I do this just cuz it’s habit and I’ll give you the numbers. The numbers aren’t horrible in that period for the Colorado Avalanche. As far as the underlyings are concerned, the act the ABS actually generated more expected goals for at 5v5 at 1.59 for them as opposed to the 1.3 that Carolina generated. Again, this goes back to wedge which just didn’t have a very good period. Um the power play was obviously horrible, but the ABS outpossessed them for most categories and a lot of that is they were trailing the whole [ __ ] period. So, you know, I don’t read too much into it, but I really don’t think this game is as bad as the scoreboard looks. And that just doesn’t mean a whole lot because the scoreboard looks how it does. Yeah. [Laughter] I mean, hey, if Carolina can score four times in a period, that means another hockey team might be able to do the same, assuming they do show up. Theoretically possible. I talked about it, but you were you were sleeping back there. And hey, if at least your team get can’t win, you can have some shade and Freud knowing that the Red Wings got stomped 72. Sucks to suck. Something to smile about for you guys out there. Not for me, of course. Thing. Are we seeing a bunch of weird lines cuz Lucky got hurt or something? He got hurt. He was out there, wouldn’t he? He did not get hurt. He just hasn’t played very much. I wonder why they feel like he’s the guy to skip. Yeah, me too. Yeah. I mean, I I don’t think there’s a lot to really dig into in this game or at least that period. You had two plays that you look at and go dumb. Not like, oh, the ads are playing poorly. Oh, there’s just a just don’t do what you did, Gabe Landiscott. Just don’t do what you did, Kale Mar. And then you have two goals where you look at your goalie and go, come on, man. Yeah. Yeah, team’s real real good at capitalizing on the opportunities the Avalanche have been giving them so far this season outside of Utah. Yeah, true. Hasn’t mattered all that much, but yeah. Favorite spooky movie? That’s a good question. So, like actual proper scary, I’m going with The Ring. It’s been a while, but that movie scared the absolute crap out of me when I was a young kid. I don’t like actual scary movies. Act like Halloween movie. Disney’s Halloween Town. Oh, yeah. That’s like a comfort movie for me. Zombie. Scooby-Doo zombie island. Charlie Brown’s Great Pumpkin. Yeah. Yeah. Sincerest Pumpkin in the patch, boys. I just watched Hocus Pocus last year and it was just as homey as as Yeah. I mean, oh, for what you expected to be. You gota know what you’re getting. Yeah, exactly. It’s goo. We’re awarding you a jersey of which you have dozens of surely already. Oh, hey, I met that guy. You did? He’s a great He’s a very fun loving guy to be around. Yeah, he’s a cool dude. I don’t really think it’s true that they’ve been turning the puck over all season. Yes, that Utah game the other night, they turned the puck over roughly a million times. Uh opening night against LA, there was a lot of puck sloppiness. That second period of the other Utah game, there was a lot of puck sloppiness. Ber talked to you about it. Go watch uh Ben Nar’s presser from Morning Skate where he’s like, “Yeah, we’ve had some bad periods. We’ve had some bad play, but we’re 50 and two.” Like, we’ve really played some pretty good hockey and we’re trying to compare ourselves to the top level of hockey that we’ve performed so far this season. And like obviously tonight there’s not no excuse for. You give up four goals in the first period, it’s bad no matter what the context. But I don’t think I’m taking a look at this game and calling it a microcosm of the AB season so far. It’s just a bad period. Oh, Insidious. I saw the college. Never saw it. That was just a jump scare movie. It wasn’t that bad. What? When we were in college, it was the that whole series. The first No, no, no. Way worse. The like found footage type one. Yeah. Paranormal activity. The very first one was coming out and we watched it and it wasn’t even a scary movie. Like the it was an hour and 20 minutes of like, oh, the sheet fluttered a little bit. Oh. They were gone for like the Blair. They did. They had the same. They just didn’t execute it at all. Yeah. I mean, the Blair Witch Project’s scary part was its marketing, which was really good. It was really good. And uh what was it? What’ you call it? H the one the other movie you were just talking about. Paranormal. Paranormal. It did the same thing where it I remember all of the ads were just showing people in the theater losing their minds. Yeah. They’re like, “This is gonna scare the crap out of you forever.” Someone named Mike in that movie. Six more and they all sucked. Yeah. They just kept going. Squeeze until there’s no money left. It was also hyper cheap to make because it was all just like handheld camera and wise cams. I mean, I think Wedgewood was inevitable for a stat balancer because Wedgewood is not a 935 goalender. Like, there’s exactly zero indication in his entire career that he should be that good. It’s like when the backup quarterback gets Yeah, exactly. Right. Everyone’s like, I don’t know. Give him the keys and then he backs into a pole and you’re like, “Yeah, no. This is what we asked for.” Yeah. Oh, nice keep, Brent. Get in. I really didn’t want But what Freddy Anderson to have his [ __ ] get right game against? Can you like just for like sympathy sake, can this can they score on this power play? I’m not like rah rah. This is about to start the comeback. I just want to see a power play goal. Just let Brent Burns like walk in. All the other players like oh falling over. ceremonial goal. Bedar doesn’t need to call out the team. He pulled his goalie. That was the call out. He he didn’t bench him, but they they’ve been doing weird stuff like Leki hasn’t played a whole lot either. There’s been some mixing and matching, we’ll put it that way. And they do have Olivesson on PP1 again here. And you started at 140. Set up quick and shoot. Nice shoot. He’s does no [ __ ] clue where this puck is. No one knows where this puck is. Still 1729. Stuck in his old tiny pads there, bud. [Laughter] I I have no internet in here. I can’t make I can barely tweet. I wanted I wanted to see the Mike Smith him back up into his own net looking for it. Yeah, in his little pocket there. [Laughter] I mean could you didn’t say prison pocket so [Music] That’s how I feel. Yeah. Unfortunately, the lumber yard is not getting any use tonight. No. Unless the yumber lumber yard is out of lumber. That’s [Music] Twigard. It’ll be a funny headline after this game if it says going this way. It’s poor K, but it’s P O O R Q U E. Is that like poor K? Which is it? Like why a poor Incredible frame headline. I know it is. No, that’s the [ __ ] I love. SEO takes all the creative. I know. It’s the worst. I hate it so much that we have to do it again. Burns play some defense. Oh my god, boy. Now go the other way. Chaos. Everybody fall down. It kind of does. No, it was one shot. It was a good shot, but then the rest of the power play was stinky. Maybe the ABS just need a bath. Hey, it hit something in front. Someone did a big pump. Was Minsky cutting through? Bounce off a Parker. A little PK. A little PK. I don’t care about this replay. Yeah. Uh, just insanity in the middle. All right. I mean, look, you get the Oh, boy. Oh, no. Oh, God. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Please, God, no. Drop. Drop it. Drop the puck. Drop it right now. Drop it. Drop the puck. Huh? Excuse me. Drop it. Drop it. the back. You see, even even Parker afterward kind of goes like, “Well, is it in before the Son of a While we’re at it, this break, abolish replay.” Yeah. Yeah. I’m abol abolish the challenge. Absolutely. Uh, I will say they took a time out to take more time to look at it cuz that’s a new rule now. You can take your time out if you want to think about challenging. Here’s what I’ll say. In a world where intent matters, he is not trying to throw that puck into the net with his hand. I’m not saying that’s going to get the right outcome you want for the ABS, but the actions of the fenceman forced him to grab the puck. Oh my. Yeah, I don’t uh I don’t see this one going the AB’s way. Thank you, Matt, for becoming a member. We appreciate you. I assume most of you are probably Nuggets people becoming members. I don’t even know if you’re in this chat. That’s a good point. It’s a good good point. True. Well, on the bright side, at least this game didn’t start at 8:30. True. This challenge might make it seem like it did if they take 15 minutes to decide what this is. You spent five minutes on that review the last game and you still It’s What’s the point? You still got the call. Great. I I think most people pretty well agree. If nothing else, they get 30 seconds. Yeah. You get You get to watch the play twice. And if you can’t change the call, then what are we [ __ ] doing? Like I feel something that covers football, the amount of challenges 10 minutes. Like is that is that clearcut if it takes you that long to break it down? Are we freeze frames? Are we even honoring the spirit of the rule at that point? Like yeah, we broke it down and we reverse engineered this angle. Yeah. Yeah. He knows he knows it’s not going to [ __ ] count. Yeah, that’s what I was asking earlier. I have no idea. Could be. It’s in that ballpark for sure. Yeah. All right. This counts. They take a penalty. We have score on the power play. And we’ve got a game. That’s the amount of good things that have to happen to make this a hockey game. We all know what the call should be, but they also could just get it way they just get things wrong apparently. Okay. Okay. [Laughter] Just I’m going to There is no rule book. Yeah. I’m going to walk into the urinal at second intermission and the NHL rule book is going to be in the trough just like on fire somehow and like outrageous. Okay, let’s say that is the rule and they got this call correct. Then by definition against Columbus that one they would have gotten wrong. Like absolutely. I would be so pissed about right now. Oh my god. That’s brutal. Yeah, it is so bad. Do something. Is it legitimately they’re just like this is going to make it more entertaining if that’s a goal? So, we’re just going to let that be a goal. Bouncy Bill just got arrested for gambling in the NBA. Be careful refs. Chanty called him. Said, “I need this to count, boys. My bail’s going to be really high.” [Laughter] Allegedly. Wow, brother. We also don’t have to You take the zone. You don’t have to pass it immediately at the blue line. You don’t. Sure. He He got all halfway to the circle there. And look at this possession in the zone. Outrageous. Now find something. Good shot. Way to make a save. Good keep. Keep working. Make this the hockey game. Oh, rip it. It’s loose. It’s loose. It’s still loose. How did Olaf go down there? That’s so wild. Yeah. Good momentum though. Looking way better than the last one so far. True. Unit two get gave his goal back. It’s not really unit two. Matt kind of stayed out there. That came out by about seven feet. Now that goal counted. The fix is really in. Nelson just kind of overscated it, man. They’re going with McKinnon, Leki, Nushkin, and Landisk on unit two. Burns, too. Yeah, Taves just not a PP guy anymore. Yeah, they want to save him some life because he’s PK’s and plays a billion minutes a night with Kale. is a liability out there, brother. Yeah, he’s been pretty bad on the power play. I mean, yeah, I obviously first period issues aside, your power play is 0 for three now. Oh, yes. No. Power plays 0 for three now in a game where you desperately needed it to be at least have one. Camera died. Nobody back. I hope it died right as I screamed no. Welcome to the timeouts. Timeout is not a thing anymore, Max. It’s just if you get the challenge wrong, you get a penalty, right? If you get two wrong, it’s a double minor. Oh, you can challenge again. I thought you only got one. No, that the old old rules. They should just keep double. You get one. I mean, no one the only team that’s ever gotten the double miner. So, I don’t know what comes after that. Like, pick a player, pick a finger. I’m taking it. Five challenges. You have to remove for two minutes. forced empty net and you don’t get a sixth guy. No, everyone should They’re panicking about the abs for sure. We should all like switch spots. There comes back on. They do already have a minor. That’s true. He is a net. Heyo. Drake flying into Denver right now. He lost that lawsuit. He can’t do [ __ ] I mean, you would have loved to score on the power play there, but 42 feels like a reasonable place to be at at this point in the hockey game if you’re going to try and come back. This game isn’t just outright over, but yeah. What are we looking at? What are we looking at? Snick touch before. Okay. I mean, cool. Cool that he knocked it down. I guess like what do we have a replay of? It’s like uh this. All right, [ __ ] it. Play it. Okay, nice. Get in. Come on. Oh, careful, Parker. Careful, buddy. Come on, Ross. You got to step. Freddy did not look comfy there. Another night where the low pad is a viable option. Rebounds be juicing. What’s that time? 12:20. Was a cool dude to talk to. Yeah, he’s a cool guy. Oh, has a good shot, too. Yeah, Jury’s cool, too. He’s Drury is like very smart. You can tell. I know he went to he went to Harvard, but like he he’s a very smart guy. Like socially, not just like book smart. Can’t even imagine what that’s like. Go in. Freddy Anderson hasn’t seen a single puck all night. He’s blessed by the divine. There’s no way. How many shots has he saved where he’s like me? I have it right now. Am I wrong in saying they’re kind of dominating this period? No, they’ve took them. I think absolutely. I mean, I don’t know that that shot counter is correct. That feels a little high, but they have definitely dominated this period. I mean, Carolas is definitely right in that they have a shot in eight minutes. Yeah. [Music] Get him. He owes him one, too. But this is kind of like hockey stupid. I don’t know what. Okay, they called it. You get a fourth chance on this stupid [ __ ] power play. [Laughter] You got We got to have it at a certain point. You got to have it. Help me, Jesus. Yeah, [ __ ] Tom Cruz. Uh, this is like weird hockey luck [ __ ] right? Because Wedgewood played like [ __ ] and the all the pucks went in and Freddy Anderson is playing like that and somehow the pucks are not going in. You You tomahawkked him in the neutral. Like what are we talking about? Gail’s still grimacing like what? What do you mean? Never been pi in my life. And get out of here. Ao. No. No. Keep arguing. No, take another penalty. Give them a five on three. They might score on that. There’d be a chance. Just find some. It could be weird. I don’t care. One’s just got to go in. Hitting into the first guy is not going into the net. I don’t know if you guys know that, but uh it’s the last guy that you got to get it through, let alone the first guy. There’s two guys standing there like it was a free kick in soccer, too. Like there’s so much space if you make a pass. 29 on the season. That’s it’s they’ve only scored three. I don’t know the exact number of power plays, but yeah, they’ve only scored three and they they were approaching 10%. They’re right. They were right around 10%. I’m sure that’s right. All right. Unit one did not get set up a single time. Sick. The best pass on this power play is from your goalie so far. That Brinley out there? It is. He’s been on unit two a little bit these last couple of games. Someone make a play. Holy. How do you have three guys streaking down the middle open and you don’t even get a shot attempt? I don’t know. Oh, couldn’t corral. It’s tough. How do you have so much momentum and then you go up a man and it dies? You play like [ __ ] It’s not there. No even saving graces on that one. That power play was non-competitive. It’s not like, well, they did a good thing. There is nothing there. No, just progressing with power play stinks. Power play sucks. That [ __ ] sucks. Three for 30. I’ve got great news. I will bet a lot of money the next penalty goes against the ABS. They gave you four chances. Yeah. [Music] I mean, it was 30th coming into tonight, their power play. Yeah, I don’t know. It was like 26th or something the other night. So, very likely after tonight. It’s very possible that is last. I think there’s still someone in the league below 10% and with that one, the AB should be at 10%. So, probably not quite. It might be Carolina’s actually. I think their power play has been horrible as well. At this point, I’m open to anything. That’s kind of surprising. That’s wild. Yeah. Carolina’s is worse and Nashville’s is worse. Nashville’s at 8%. Although I guess with a gold tonight, the ABS net PP might be pretty bad with the short-handed. Yeah. Yeah. [Music] What’s up He are the Nuggets winning at least. I think they started to make a little bit of a run. We got a goal. We have time. Yeah. I mean, there’s a lot of time left, but there’s half a game left. You know, things can happen. That’s right. Like going over six on the power play. Just decline them. They’re five on five this period’s been outstanding. Just keep doing that. Like 30 shots halfway through a game is ridiculous. They They’re down like Carolina let their foot off the gas a little for sure, but the ABS stepped up. You wanted to see them respond in this period and they have. They just can’t score on a freaking power play. Good out. Yeah, 8% is Hit. Oh, he was there. And now you’re offside. Yeah. Well, that’s that’s good. How’s your I hope you’re right. Have a little faith. They go 0 for eight. They got this. No moms in sports. That was such a weird My mom’s the one that like feels bad for the losing team. I remember one year the Red Wings won won the Stanley Cup. Whole house is going nuts. Extended families in town going bonkers. And she’s like, “Oh, but they team tried so hard and got so far.” It’s like, “What are you doing? How does your brain even work like this? Just can’t have fun. I don’t know. All right, top line. You want to win an MVP this year, Mac? Put the team on your back. You’ve kind of had five bad periods in a row, buddy. I’m calling you out, McKinnon. Stand and draw. Power play 316. [Laughter] Oh my reasonable icing to taste. No kidding. That puck was just going anywhere Carolina needed it to be. If you’re if you’re a member that’s actually becoming a member in the watch along, say so in chat cuz yeah, if there’s some emotes up or something. Yeah, all of you I’m sure are watching the Nuggets side and it’s just informing us of that. But yeah, I I have no explanation for the NHL rule book. I I think Kane’s have pretty justified in being upset about that goal counting. What do we got here? Was it just something icing the other way? The time is Brent Burns’s beard. What are rules? Is replay pointless? Is God real? No. Yes. No. All right. I mean, look, you find a way to get one more boy. Is that a penalty shot? Pretty late whistle. Pretty late whistle for that call, but I we knew the next call was going against the ABS, so it’s whatever. See, I hate that that thought though. Like the oh, we owe you one because we messed up a call just leads to more messed up calls. Like just get it right. There’s not a lot of trip there. Again, I’m not going to complain. The have had four power plays, but Nelson gets puck. Yeah, there’s really not. If anything, he kind of the legs collapse a little bit, but you had one of those in the stars, didn’t Yeah, I think so. And then it became a whole thing and I had a bunch of Stars fans being like, “Actually, it’s never been by the rule book, but that’s always been how the refs call it because rules are stupid and you just make [ __ ] up apparently. Stick it back into your own zone. I mean, this power play is worse than yours so far this year. Like, dear God. Interesting little D switch here. Watch that guy. I went down low. Super aggro out high. Nice. Good work. Come on, Kale. Good try. Okay, thank you. That’s why your power play is worse than Oh, Josh Manson. Ah, good save. Just just send it back to your own zone. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, I love you, Josh. You’re so cool. Oh, minor. Bad puck. Okay. Okay. What is happening? I don’t I love Josh and I’m not going to He’s on a breakaway. Do whatever you want, but your defenseman maybe stick to the forehand. I don’t know. Two great a chances on their power play. Genuinely, both teams should just [ __ ] define power. Like bizarro world out here. It super is. I feel like I’m losing my mind watching this hockey game. By the standings, by the way, two of the three best teams in the NHL. Just just He did indeed get his stick yked. What? Kelly’s like, “Brother, just couldn’t quite corral it enough to really do something with it.” Yeah, that was not a very competitive back end. No, Frederick Anderson is blessed, man. Dude, I don’t even think Frederick Anderson is playing well. You can’t even say he’s having the game of his life. It’s just he’s a blind dog that found the treat like it’s a broken clock that just happens to be at that exact time anytime you look at it. Yeah, it’s crazy. Like dude looks like a bum out there and everything just hits him. He’s had multiple instances of thinking the puck is going in behind him, not knowing where it is. Fully in possession of what? Yeah. I mean, it’s it’s mostly score effects, but the ABS have dominated this period, and it literally takes potentially cheating the rules for them to score a goal. Oh my god. I mean, Land Scott’s got to feel self robbed straight after that goes against him. Then Parker Kelly gets that because that not only does it count as a goal, it counts as his goal indeed. Oh, lovely. Yeah, they got all the Sharks dudes to talk to him because that’s where he played most of his career. Man, that guy just Jordan Maro creeps me out. Joe Thornton. Jumbo Joe Pavvelski. Pavvelski is not ugly. I mean, Carlson, I don’t think Carlson’s that ugly either. No, he’s not. He’s got long, greasy hair, though. The hair is a little slimy. I mean, as far as being an absolute savage, it’s definitely Jumbo Joe Thornton. Yeah, without a doubt. They’re beard. Team beard for sure. All right, we’re getting to the point of the game where Trent Miner is going to have to make one real save. Whoever was asking about Blackwood pregame saw something coming. Can we get that guy back? And he can’t he’s available at all. No [ __ ] Oh. Oh, what a pass, bro. Pretty well read by Freddy there for as bad as he played tonight. That was that was good from him. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like he’s centering past just off skates. Dude, is Seattle good? Hard to tell. What is that face? Yeah. Who won that? Technically the ABS, I think. Is it Is it It’s not possession. It’s Is it direction or possession? It’s I would say it’s possession usually. All righty. Well, two goals is achievable, but one goal going into the third would feel a lot better. They do say that this was a threegoal lead at one point though. Does that Does that put the kibash on it? I don’t know. What is this back chick? tried to cheat a change and you guys almost paid the price for it there. All right, you got to look, buddy. Yeah, I don’t I don’t know if Miner should be the guy playing the puck as much as he has so far, but you know, whatever. It’s a weird game. Weird stuff happens. It’s one of those things that is so easy to take for granted when your goalie is good at it. Yeah. When he’s not had many good puck moving goalies over the years. Something something. Best offenseman, best defenseman in the league. Your goalie tends to suffer. Just something stupid. I’ve been asking for something stupid. I guess they already got something stupid. Something even stupider. Even stupider. One of those pucks bounces in the air. Nobody knows where it is and it just lands on like Jack Drury’s stick and he’s like, “Okay, I guess I’ll shoot it in a minute.” Like the KHL Daniel Sprangle from the other week. That was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Everyone’s Freddy Anderson on the ice at that point. Got enough of it. It’s working for Freddy. Work for you. Just close your eyes. Good things happen. I just don’t know how you’re mad at anything from this period but the power play. Yeah. Like genuinely. Even Miner has made some good saves. Yeah, not confidently, but he’s done enough. Oo, half second slow there, man. The more I watch Brinley, the more I’m excited. He’s good, man. He’s got the motor for a little guy. He stays on his feet so good. Shoot it. Just shoot it. You guys have to shoot it to score. Okay, pass it into him. Okay, we’re not getting another power play because we have to have a split one. That’s the rule. It’s the law of the season. Can’t go 0 for five. You go 0 for five, you lose the game. You got to have it. Hey, look. If they get 10 power plays in the game, they have to score on one. By the time they’re at 10, their power play will be at 7%. So, God, I mean, you did just cross check him right in the numbers. You did do that. Yep. Kind of spooky going face first into a skate like that. Yeah. Plus, isn’t that just dumb cross-checking a guy at your goalie? Like, no good’s going to come from that. Indeed. Keep. Come on. Come on. Just find it. find something. Good work, Michigan. Or get rubbed off the play and lose the puck. Leave them out there. It’s not like you’re going to have an 18minute break in a second or anything. Let me guess. Drop pass. Wild. Yeah, they have to go through the middle better. Everyone in the world knows they’re going to go right to the wall after they enter the blue line now and they’re just being too aggressive on it. I don’t know, man. Okay, so you get 40 seconds basically to start the third period on the power play to make this a real hockey game unless something insane happens, but that is not insane. Yeah. Uh it’s not the only problem in this game. Obviously, you put yourself in a bad hole, but 0 for five on the power play in a game where you desperately needed one is really bad. They looked great at five on five, though. Had they not given up a bunch of dumb goals, this would be a really good hockey game. But it is. So, we’re going to take our intermission break. We’ll be back for the third. Look, I’m not saying the ABS don’t dis don’t deserve to be scored on four times. They’ve made their own mistakes, the bad turnovers, the poor goalending. Sure, the Carolina Hurricanes at five on five have only generated 1.69 69 goals expected for in this game. Meanwhile, the ABS have generated 2.84 and that’s only at five on five. Doesn’t include any of the ABS power play stuff. To be fair, Carolina scored a short-handed goal, so bump them up to two. Unexpected, the ABS should be winning this game. There is some decent process to look at in this game. It’s just not on the power play. Yeah, I know. They got 20 minutes to score two goals, but it sure feels like they got 48 seconds. Yeah, Frederick Anderson’s been blessed. I mean, they got so many shots on. So many shots on. You need something. I The problem when you go down three, even a good bounce goal is not enough. You need more. And you really like you need Nathan McKinnon to do something all world. He’s not done he directly lost you last game and has not done much at all tonight. Not good enough. pretty probably his first game. Yeah. of them. [Laughter] No. No. He’s been with the ads forever. Yeah. It’s going to take Mad Kinnon, man. You better be pissed. I’ve got this stupid emote. I want to use it. Yeah. Is that Do we have to summon him? Is that what it is? We got to get the Mad Max in chat before. Only one way to find out. You know what to do. Yeah, the abs are the abs are by far the worst when it comes to that. Nice. man and Peter Forsber is aged like fine wine. Yeah, those bubbles glasses isn’t helping him, but he’s handsome enough anyways. Basically can’t see out of the one eye now. Yeah, when you’re that cool, you’re still a god. I wonder what like high fashion is like in Sweden. He’s He’s the standard setter. Everyone’s wearing those glasses. orders going crazy just without even the glass just the frames. I mean Quebec had a lot of years where they were real real bad. They drafted first overall multiple times. Interesting. Cross the blue line and pass it to the boards. Who could have seen it coming? It worked this time at least. Then Kale shoots it into [ __ ] first gag. Come on. Your best player’s got to be better. Shoot the puck. You have it in that grade A position and you hesitate. I don’t get it. Good shot, Mac. That’s a start, but you got to put one in the net. And it just got real hard cuz you’re now 0 for five on the power play. 1904 03. I mean, you have to shoot. You can’t any hesitation there is just not good enough. Yeah. I mean, credit to that defensive play. It’s desperate, but it gets it done. It gets back cuz Nelson goes, “I’m going to stop it. I’m going to collect it.” Okay, I’ll shoot it. Like, come on, man. Urgency. He’s used to a loading a musket. It takes some time. Lines are actual chaos now. Brinley’s getting a shift with Landy and Nelson. I mean, no kidding. Doesn’t even challenge. That’s his top speed. That’s as fast as he goes now. Yeah, but he has a 9 foot long stick. Do something. Oh boy. Yikes. And this is kind of the expectation after Carolina cruise through the second. It’s not going to be as easy here. Little chippy shoulder throwing. Josh Manson’s like, “Come on.” Nikeshan took one look at Manson and said, “Nope, absolutely not.” [Music] I know, Zach. I feel like he’s there and just doesn’t even I didn’t even try. It was bad. He’s not a good defender. He’s never been a good defender at 5v5. He’s weirdly good on the PK, but that’s the Brent Burns experience at 5v5. It’s why his production so far this year has been so important because they need that out of him to make up for it sometimes off. You all right, Jack? Looking a little labored there. You like got whacked on the face off. What in God’s name is that tie? Yeah, he’s he’s got to be keeping the most ridiculous suit shop in business. That I I feel like he took that to a Kinko and got that printed onto that tie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If that’s dip dyed, that’s impressive. Oh god. Oh boy. The ref was like, “It’s something.” That’s Well, just as a trip hook. I don’t know, but you can’t do that. Two minutes for general incompetence from Sam Molinsky. I feel like that’s happened to Minsky once a game this year. The feet are feet are kind of weird this year, Sam. All right. I mean, shorty for shorty. You had good chances on the last kill. I don’t know. If anything, this might help with some momentum for the ABS. Oh my god. Drop the puck, brother. We got places to be. Clean win, fresh out. 15 seconds off. Uh, just survive this. I’m not being greedy. This could very well end the game. There you go. There’s the full schedule of these jerseys. If they lose the game to Montreal, we’re burning them, though. Yeah, everyone just wants you to drop the puck. We spent more time waiting for you to drop the puck than has elapsed on this power play so far. Get out. Yep. I’m so confused about all of that. Good work, Nuke. Good enough. See, like, man, it just seems like no one on the ABS has what Aaho just did there. He was like, “Okay, can’t go to the blue line. Guess I’ll turn around. Quit save. Amazing. That stays out. Minor focus. I mean, the ABS just you watch other penalty kills, they are super aggressive up the walls along the ABS. They don’t give them the space and the abs just do. All right. Miner gave you a real big boy save. Can you guys pick him up a little bit? We’ll help. A fan gave him the tie. Nice. I still think he printed at a Kinko. All right. Carolina do something. Yeah. Unbelievably stupid. That’s the angle now. Get through. Get through. Win a battle. That’ll work. I don’t know. He might have had space to possess that there, but the man coming out of the box. Three seconds. Not like this, bro. Sure, I’ll take that. Just do it again. Oh, the same move they scored on the first. Yeah, he’s got the power. He’s got the power to do that. He took it to the net and shot. I can’t be mad. Better late than than never, Noble. That’s what we’re hoping the theme of tonight is. Maybe if you show up, so will the ABS. Your fault. Yeah, the ABS had a good idea once and the entire league stole it was that 1529. To be fair, that was my text ring tone in like 2010. Keep all day. What a shot. All right. If If nothing else, Marty’s point streak continues. If nothing else. That sounded like a little party horn. Oh, I thought that was the door open. I was like, that’s outrageous. Was that off the face mask again? Off his shoulder. Off his shoulder. Oh man, that that was actually really lucky that ramped up into it. Yeah, Freddy’s due for some bad puck. Put it that way. No kidding. All right. Not that it eras. Oh god. You’re fine. You’re okay. Backside. Just make sure you cover it. Yeah. All right. Like like the idea. Like the idea. Good job, Miner. Hey, don’t chippy. What are you mad, bro? Don’t take a penalty. A Jack’s just giving him a hug. Take love, not war. Sure, he wants all this. He knows all these guys. Um, not that it erases the bad, but I do think there is something to be said about the ABS making this a game. Yeah, no kidding. I mean, it was it was like they’re trying to set records by the size of the hole they dug. Yeah, they actually make this comeback. Even if even if they get a point, it’s a miracle again. Take them both. I assume that you gota show the other box. Show the other box. Yeah, you bum Taylor Hall. Look, you can’t score on a power play. How about four on four? All right. You don’t have an extra guy and there’s more room. I’m just I don’t know. [Laughter] Yeah. I mean, this one feels a little different than the Dallas game, right? The Dallas game, you tip your cap to Jakeer and say, “That dude played great.” Yeah. This game, the ABS is a demon of their own making. It’s bal with Mac. I do like that. Benar listened to my threeon-ree rant the other day to nobody defend God. Anyone? So casual, laz. It’s so casual. Hive miner. Thank god for him. Someone was so discombobed. Someone needs to smack Mac on the ass and get him to wake the [ __ ] up right now. There’s three guys standing in the slot looking around like, “Who’s You got him, right?” Who’s that? Whose guy is that? Is it my guy? Is it your guy? Oh boy. Have anyone ever seen Rod Bindammore happy? First time holding this kid like you are a baby. Like you should have shot that. Yeah, no kidding. Saminsky was all over that guy. Out. That’s out. Hey, thanks guy. Keep the pressure on Nes. Careful. Yeah. Don’t take any more penalties. Please get on side. God, Burns Burns is skating is a problem. Nathan superstar [ __ ] Come on. Weird. But I I do appreciate he tried to go deep in his own though. Right. Thank you for being a real human being. Valentin hustle beat him. Got the got the power. Got the call though. Got the call. All right. You have 15 seconds of four on three. You know it’s not going to happen. Five on four. A different look. The strength. That’s some Forsber [ __ ] It was just out musled him all the way against Forsber. That’s not a penalty though. That’s what you have to do. Le’s like, “Yeah, just good luck. Does that constitute the shot? I don’t know. Did he don’t get me started like that’s one thing is a guy who’s getting more into the leads on hockey. What exactly is it? This is We actually had Dave Jackson on the show. I think it was not this summer but last summer. And he like as one of a longtime NHL ref, he’s like, “Yeah, we should probably call more penalty shots.” Like they’re excit they’re fun. You also need the ability to opt for a penalty, though. You shouldn’t be forced to take a power or a penalty shot with your whoever happens to be on the Parker Kelly draws one and you’re like, “Yeah, we’d rather have the two minutes. We’d rather have the two minutes. [Laughter] image in I mean, you’re in the room. You might as well tie the [ __ ] game. Come on. If I mean every penalty becomes a more like if you don’t it’s your fault you lose this game. It’s your fault you lost the you know first four or you lost the first period as bad as you did is what I’m trying to say. God, what a shot. overappointed game with Colorado. He’s good. He’s good here. [Music] We just got to be weird for him because like no one didn’t like that Nate just joined the team, but everyone was so mad at me Randon and he just quietly was like It’s fine. Tell you what, as win the cup and they’ll show you the money. Marty, come on, Nathan. It’s your time. All right. Do it the oldfashioned power play way. You have to fluke into one eventually, right? Like Yeah. Right. Bad pass, but it works. No, not if you miss the net. Keep it though. They’re tired. Come on. Oh, and then the nothing pass. If they don’t score on this one, next power play they get, and I’m assuming this would be next game, but put the fourth line out there. Send a message. Yeah. Holy. Okay, boys. Okay. I mean, what is there to say about the power play? Great thought. Yep, good idea. just didn’t connect. And you don’t get credit for good ideas when you’re this bad on the power play. No, you do not. Waiting for five on five to score. Josh Manson just wants it tonight on the backhand. Oh, thank God. Good play for for as slow as you are tonight, Brent. That was a good defensive play. Didn’t feel good. Get it across to him. Ah, catch a puck. Come on. This game is going to get real heavy and real tight for these last 10 minutes. Where is he? Tried to change. Oh, that was in. That was definitely stayed in. Really? I felt like the opposite. Yeah, I don’t think it’s been that fast either. Okay, maybe it came out a little bit of weight. Good eye. Yeah, I’m I’m honestly kind of shocked that there’s still 10 minutes left in the hockey game. Yeah. I guess when there’s seven power plays called, that slows you down a little bit. And you have 40 shots, which what? Five of them have been on your six power plays. Yeah, not enough for sure. It’s ridiculous. You have half as many shots short-handed as you have on your own power, brother. Kale, you need [Music] not been a good night for Kale. How about you, Devon? You got no points on the season. Are you the guy? Kane’s straight up playing a trap now. [Music] Make a pass. We trust you. Good work, Brock. Got to do something with it, though. Lanty Strong big pinch and a whole lot of nothing came of that. What is this whistle? Those jerseys are selling out quick back there. So, can we talk for an entire hour about how bad the AS power play was? [Laughter] True. The actions of the uh Whalers forced the ABS to go back into their own zone. So, it was offside. I do feel like karmically though my wife it wasn’t me. Uh that hand goal is a little bit of sure feels a little better for everyone but Lannis cog feels a little better. What? Who? What? Huh? Okay. What the dude? What is Google’s deal? I just got a Google notification that said Mo ran and traded again. Then it says how Mo was involved in two trades last year and it’s like so not traded again at all. Like [Music] Just letting AI run the show. Jesus Christ. Was Axe the refining right there? holding Josh Manson stick. There’s almost no chance the ABS get another call this game. Oh yeah, good save. The whistles are away for this one. No cozone, baby. Go Eagles. Let’s go. Let’s go. Eagles power plays great this year, by the way. They’re like 25%. That’s awesome. Eagles game never been electric kind of expensive for what like you might as well go at that point. Great building though. Great building the energy. Yeah, there you go. You got numbers. A Lucky hit the net, buddy. Bad stick, Leky. You got to hit the net. I I You’re archery leaning. I know you’re not going to score on that all the time, but a self clear there is brutal. You at least create a rebound something. I mean, you know, the far guys breaking into, you’re not going to pass, do something that’s going to make them rebound. All right. Who’s going to be the late game hero? Can make it somebody weird since it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be McKinnon. Why not? I He just is not right here. No. Right to the glove. He just has not been in it in this game. He hasn’t turned up the wick at all. Routine. Yep. Know what it is? Pacifism. He uh he in principle felt like we shouldn’t wear the Nordics. You know what? So he will justify it with this energy. I’m from hell. Thanks. I hate Quebec. Yes. Beat him offside. Yeah, it was it was it was not that I don’t at this point I should stop caring because the rules only apply when people feel like it like yeah the funny part is the AS is scored on a delayed penalty. in this game. Oh boy. You would think, but you gave him that icing. Okay, brother. Even Josh is Yeah. You know what that face was? I had a middle school in a middle school basketball game. I had a We’re just kidding. [ __ ] I’m surprising. Do I look like I was a great But I get like a chance for like a breakaway layup after I steal the ball from this really good player. Just trip. I’m over just face plant. And the ref just assume, well, there must have been a no way that fell. Thank you. That kid would have to be real bad at walking for that to not have been a foul. That might be it. That might be your chance. They called another penalty. Is one of you pulling strings? What is that? Buffalo Wild Wings. Are they really going to go 0 for seven in this game? Are they going I think a great defensive play. Almost scored on yourself, but you have the luck of the Lord for the record. You’ll be 0 for eight. Yeah. If they don’t score, it’s 0 for eight. Is that not Is it counting the four on four? No. Uh maybe. Actually, maybe. You might be right. I don’t know. It says 0 for seven now. It could I could be wrong. I Maybe they already counted it. Yeah. Okay. Over six. You were right. You were right. I mean, somewhere out there, I’m scared. Someone is begging the abs to do this because [Laughter] baby, bring me home, baby. Just leave it. Don’t even drop it. Okay, just get in the zone like normal human beings. That’ll work somehow. Wow. Oh my [ __ ] One. You can’t make one consecutive two I guess consecutive passes on that. You have an extra guy. Someone’s always open 100% of the time. Good entry. Just beat him. Good try. That’s something to work off of. Build off it. Get in. Hey, they got it. One for seven. One for seven. One for seven. You’re wrong, Chad. And their power play improves mathematically, significantly. I’m not in this game. He’s getting first star for sure, by the way. He’s been so good tonight. That’s what I always say, boys. Seven times charm. Let it be known that no one stops the ass on the power play seven times in a row. All right, now let’s win in regulation. Do they score the next four shots? Oh god. O I mean I know Carolina’s got some injured defenseman, but not being able to close this one out. Tough look. That’s hard. That’s hard. Ross getting absolutely mugged. They’re like, there’s no way they’re calling. Did they just call? No. No, nuke about to break his [ __ ] hand in the glass right there. One out of seven. Still pretty bad. [Music] It’s better than No kidding. True. No kidding. Sources thing. like it’s infinitely better. See, this is why sports is great. I was so resigned after that first period of the ABS getting their first regulation loss of the season. And now we’re here for for as horrible as the power plays have been for all of the nonsense, we’re still in it. The ABS never say die this year. [Music] Thank you for the super chat, Drew. If they win this, I need to hear Rod’s post game. I think the vein is going to blow. We’re on We’re on new caddy watch, too. The the water pour is still on the table. [Laughter] I’m not going to say it’s a team that did all the things right because it obviously isn’t. If you didn’t do a lot of things right to get down 4-1 in the first place in your power play, you’re not going to get seven opportunities most nights. But it is a team that played from behind the correct way. They worked their asses off. They’ve dominated Carolina at five on five, which earned them some of those penalties. And then the power play is still bad, but they got it eventually. Yeah. I mean, 44 shots Yeah. is a great night. And there’s still five minutes left. They they definitely don’t have the momentum at the moment, but yeah, I uh the ABS can’t lift their foot off the gas for these last five minutes. I’ll put it to you that way. Did we get one and I missed? Can you like scroll it up or just show it? I don’t know. $5 from Dango. Not over seven. Thank you very much. Uh, it’s the little things keeps you going. Yeah. Give us show us some love. Interact with the algorithm on YouTube. Yeah. Do do your boy a favor. If they if you get a 100 likes, I get a free shot. True. I haven’t I haven’t been paying for him of that. But yeah, you got a tab, buddy. Oh, right. All righty. This is why we’re studio B. I don’t get to leave until I next time. not trying to be down when it’s not necessary, but keep in mind this is Trent Miner’s like third ever NHL game, so you got to keep it high and tight in front of him. Little better execution there. That was a rough landing. I don’t know what you were going for there. Okay, Carolina also rough with the puck. Suddenly good keep. Val is just a monster tonight. He really is. Penalty on the ABS. Yeah. Unsurprising. Yeah. I mean, you’re not shocked to see one come back the other way. What is that? On the counter. Wasn’t me holding the stick. They say I mean he does he he does it and then he pinched it and then he and then he Yeah. 359 Carolina has not had seven power plays. So you’re allowed to kill this. Another one. Thank you Spence for the dollar. I appreciate it. All right, Trent, you’re gonna have to earn it, buddy. Bought that one off. He is now officially the goalie of record. Off the off the knob. Counts. It does. Wait, so he takes the L now. If they lose, he gets the L. Oh boy. Y I know it offensive generation has nothing to do with the goalender, but it’s that’s still feels really rough. Yeah, you fight off enough shots. I mean, it’s 13. Oh boy. Win a battle, boys. Come on. Seriously. All right. Good. Clear. Jinx. All right. Man, I still haven’t scored short-handed. True. Do it all. Find it in every direction. Logan. Nope. Oh, good stick. Good stick. Yeah, Logan O’Connor would uh would have be a boon in this moment for sure. Okay. Kind of a slopfest from everyone right now. Now you’re a bit tired. Here comes Trent. One big one. Okay. Or they’ll [ __ ] up. Also fine. Go go go go go fast. End of a shift. It’s tough but fast. Oh mama. Get off. Get off. Get off. Great work. Great work, buddy. That’s a man. That’s a man. Yes. Yes. They caught on Drury. No, they they take both. They said dive. Drury’s I rate. So, yeah. Crash check to the neck. That just yinks him, brother. Brother, that’s so bad. That’s so bad. That was a really dumb pass, Lucky. But then you just won this puck, so I forgive you. Outrageous that he’s in the box. Outrageous. So they’re saying he sold like Did they If they only called Drury, that’s an absolute joke. Yeah. No, there’s no universe where you can only call Jack there. That’s That’s heinous. Heinous to call only Jack Drury there. That’s It’s It’s still four on five. the thing. I’m very confused. I’m also confused. It must have been both ways. It has to be cuz the the ABS have four guys out there. The AS have four guys out there. So, it’s that’s wrong. Unless the AS are cheating. The refs are just this blind. Yeah, maybe. They didn’t show the other box at all. So, they clearly called. It must have been holding on the other guy and embellishment on Jack, which is still a bad call. Yeah, you’re right. Did they call a penalty here? I couldn’t see. Or is it just hurt guy took a puck to the face or something? I don’t know. We’ll see here. Oh, that’s stickick. Yeah. unfortunate. God damn, Evs, you worked so hard to get yourself back into this and now you’re just I mean, he lifts the guy’s arm into his own face. I didn’t see him call a penalty for what it’s worth. They’re talking about it. There’s definitely a stick to the face. Like, come on. Somebody saw that. There’s a cheeky move. Uh, not unless they called it a major, which they definitely didn’t. Yeah. Hey, buddy. Hold on. We got to figure out our bets. Call embellishment. That’s your way out of this. Yep. Life is so hard. The last three last five. Yeah. I mean it you can’t do that. It’s true. He is in the face with a stick. That is high sticking regardless of like their arm contact. You got to be in control of your stick. The slow mode also makes it look worse than it probably actually was. It’s like one of those you have both your slow it down. Both your pen penalty kill centers in the box right now. That’s tough. You know, the ABS have not yet scored a short-handed goal in this hockey game. That just be crazy, right? That would be I appreciate y’all. Come on. Work your asses off for another 90 seconds. Give me 90 more seconds. Whatever happens in overtime, I don’t give a [ __ ] What a bounce. Got to be out. Smart. Smart. Out. Thank god. Just enough. You can’t change. You maybe get one guy on. Oh, good work. Sneak off. Sneak off. Sneak off. Sneak off. Nice. He’s giving you so much. He got a couple extra guys off. That was really good. That was really good. Have he just kept his turn going there? He had a lane to the middle. Little passive. Hey, Carolina. Take your time. Take your time. Yes. No need to rush on net’s fine. One more real stop. One more real stop and clear. Great save. What a save, buddy. Oh, and they pull off a miracle point. Are you kidding me? Let’s go. That’s a huge point. That’s absurd. The way this game started, one point there. Massive. I’ve never seen a team so much deserve to lose a game and also so much deserve to win it. Holy. The Colorado Avalanche. are two face. It is. It is. It’s wild. Now, if they want to win, this first face off of overtime is like unbelievably important and they know no one to take it. Yeah. Regulation. You uh they know you have a long drive home, so they want to keep you late. The traffic’s going to die though. [Music] Oh my gosh. ABS win this game. Valushkin Trent Miner’s in that top three. He’s got to be. Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, one because who else? And two, because my lord, what a game to keep him in. [Music] 67 likes. Hit that button. Looks like this. I take a point. I would I mean obviously I would like two points more but I I have accepted whatever happens in this overtime. You know the ABS haven’t won in overtime. That’s true. They’re season they’re 0 for two in extra extra frames. Extra frames. Yeah. Who do you take this draw? Landy just say f it with McKinnon. Probably not because you’re on a PK to start. Kelly maybe, even though he’s terrible in the dot. Yeah, I think it I think it’s gonna be McKinnon. Well, no, you can’t. There’s like 17 seconds of four on three. Although maybe if you if you really think he’s your best bet, but I don’t think you would think that. Land or Kelly is my guess for the faceoff taker. That last save, bro. Yeah, the last two on the power play right there and right there. Squared up. Nowhere to go. I have no idea how good Miner is in shootouts if it gets that far, by the way. I don’t I don’t even think he knows how good he is in the shootouts. We’ll find out if we get there. Ly’s getting off. So, Kelly, Nachushkin, Taves, that’s my guess. Okay. I don’t love the Burns choice. Is that Lucky? Oh, wait. No, we’re because Jury’s out. Jury’s is done, right? So, it’s Jury, which makes all the sense in the world. So, we’re not And he wins it. Hell yeah. Just all the way back. Yep. Yep. You’re killing as much time as humanly possible right here. Fine. They’re going to get one half entry. You guys are going to have to combulate yourselves. At least it’s four on four now. Good touch. One-on-one. You got a second guy coming late. Come on. Good stick. Yeah, it’s a good back check. You have the puck. Yeah, I love that. That’s fine. Yeah, that’s fine. Take the possession. Get Mac out there. Oh boy. I don’t mind making a smart decision there. Okay, buckle up, boys. I know it’s four on four and not three on three, but you have the wild boys on the ice. Oh, for the Hattie, too. Might just have to be you, Nate. Might just have to be you, buddy. Oh, it’s up in the air. Good deal. Really camera. Reset. Get your change here. Don’t Okay, it worked. I don’t understand how you touched it back to that was smooth. Nate, wake the [ __ ] up. Uh, it was it was interference. It was It was all That happens because Nate is lazy as [ __ ] right there. What I have not liked him at all. It’s such a shame, too. right after he makes a smooth little touch pass to save the icing and N is into the zone clean and then it’s just in his skates and he has no idea. Yeah, and that’s they’re calling that every day of the week. And that’s not a good penalty either cuz he had two men back too. Come on, man. Depending on how this goes, this could be a whole overtime without threeonree. Yeah, I’d say it’s decently likely even. Yeah. Nelson Manson Burns the 2D look and you’re going to get the initial clear. Well, if nothing else, Carolina fans can’t complain about lopsided penalty calls in this game anymore. That’s been taken off the table. I will say I’ve seen a decent number of like power play situations in overtime where if the if the power play makes a mistake, breakaways do happen the other way. Yeah, true. Really flatfooted abs right now. No kidding. Carolina wants to keep missing. That’s fine. And they can suck. Good first save. Great save. Reads it square and it goes out. Oh my gosh. Can’t change though. You need to freeze pretty bad here. God, this is an eternity of 40 seconds. No kidding. Okay. Sketch. But you know, it’s just such a long amount of time. Oh, thank God. That’s so lovely. H I don’t know. Just enough. Just enough, baby. Come on, Jack. Big face off here. Huge face off. Nice. Huge win all the way down. Nice. All right, that I don’t understand this hockey. I don’t understand hockey at all anymore, to be honest. What a cool game this turned out to be. This is outrageous. Now, don’t fall asleep here, Marty. What is happening? It can’t. No. Threeon three. Illegal unless the take a penalty. Oh my god. Come on. Is there not Would there not be a little bit of poetry in the Power Play redemption arc? You’re like, [Music] “Yeah, we just talked about how you can’t do that, guy.” That’s one of the ones where they’re like, “I don’t want to call it.” But yeah, 100% of the time sticks in the face. All right, Nathan, you’ve been given another moment. Seven. Jesus Christ, Val. So good tonight. Two for eight. Pretty good. Yeah. [Music] Do something. [Music] Create some space. Pucks loose. Good work, Val. Win this. Win this. Good. Gotta be you Nate stays in. Yeah. 20 seconds, boys. Yeah, I get I get the thought, but just a tough tough decision when you’re right there. Yeah, the draw. You get a shot or two. Yeah, I I put Drury out for the draw. Hear me out. I know you I know it’s OT. You don’t get a point for it, but you pull the goalie. What are the chances for the next 5 seconds? The problem is you don’t get a point. Yeah. If that happens, and 5 seconds is definitely long enough. If it was two seconds, I’d say yeah. All right. I mean, who knows what happens in a shootout. Just they’re trying to win it to Kale to Marty. They couldn’t win it. That’s why you put Dury out for that faceoff. Okay. Um, you’re going to need to score some goals in this shootout. You’re going to need some stop. I always ask the goalie to stop the first one, but I mean, this is Miner’s third ever NHL game. I have any if he stops any of them, I’ll be proud. Yeah, he deserves a ton of credit. No kidding. So, who are their shooters? AO. You can just Google it, dude. I don’t know. Google what? We’re going to watch the game. What are we? No, I don’t believe those. Those are bots, dude. It’s got to be AO Jarvis and somebody Hall or something. Is Eers’s good in shootouts? I actually don’t know. Yeah, Nuke is definitely going for the ABS after that [ __ ] It’s anybody’s guess, 47 shots. As much as it hasn’t looked great, Frederick Anderson made so many saves. He did. So many saves tonight. That’s He battled through it. He definitely did not play his a game, but he battled through it to keep them in this game, which is crazy to say that Carolina had to be kept in this game. But man, there was so much snow in that corner. Just stop one, kid. Just stop. You don’t You’re too young. You don’t know any better. There’s no stress cuz this is Jeremy goes first. This one I have low expectations for, but we can hope. Go into combat mode. Yeah. A nice. Oh, that was such a good move. That’s what does his head. [Laughter] He’s just one inch to candling right into the pad. Like I said, you’re going to have to score some goals to win this one. That was nasty. Like I ain’t even mad at that. Is perfectly executed. He has so much side to side. The problem here is Nuke has gone to the backhand on that move two times already this game. Nah. Bobbled it. Shot it into a pad. Not Not your best, foul. Not that I’m not mad at you for this game. You were great. Pretty much have to stop this one. I have a real chance. Uh, good save. Interesting that they went with for Trent Miner, right? Pick this boy up. Score a goal. Marty, I just don’t know that I Marty’s like a shooter in Colorado, not a dangly wangly. man about to have Marty partying his pants ready right now. All right, Trent. As if enough hasn’t been asked of you tonight already. Go. Because I want to see Nathan McKinnon win or lose this game. That’s all I really want. I have no idea if Jackson Blake is good in shootouts or not. Nice. Great save. He’s done all he can do. Been a bum all night. Nate, what you got? You lost the last game. Win this one. I mean, you can’t win it. They even go with Lucky. I don’t even hate the decision. Come on. Come on. Guys can’t lose it. No, if he scores, then can win the game. All right, we got a post game to do, chat. The ABS earned a great point there. I’m I’m a little disappointed with the finish, but there was a world where this postgame was going to be extreme anger, and it’s not that. So, we’ll talk to you in about 10 to 15 minutes. We’ll see you there. [Music] Crazy like the mayor.
