Florida Panthers Morning Live – Comeback Cats Are BACK!
Hello. Hello. Hello. Good morning. And it’s for real. Good morning. Hey, how about that game last night? How about it? How about it? So, let’s look and see what happened before we get to the chat. It’s 35 and sunny. So, we had Yesterday was summer. 60 degrees. No, the day before was summer. Yeah. So, last night, good night. As much as it could be, wasn’t a huge uh tally of games. Obviously, we know what Florida did. The Canucks beat the Islanders. Didn’t expect that. The Devils beat the Mammoth. The Avalanche beat the Jets and the Stars beat the Ducks, putting our Florida Panthers aloneish in second place with 40 points. Now wings are there with 41 points. We’ve got a game in hand. So theoretically, but now we’ve seen this, right? Um for the most part, any team that has won four or five or six games in a row in the Atlantic immediately goes to the top because it’s just so tight. I mean, the Sabres, the Sabres are in last place. They are seven points out of first place with two games in hand. Not that we expect the Sabres to win the division, but you get what I’m saying. Um, the Atlantic is still anybody’s game. 41 for the Wings, 40 for the Panthers, 40 for the Canadians, 40 for the Bruins, 39 for the Lightning, the Wildcard spots are the Islanders at 41, and then the Flyers at 40 because they got two games in hand on the Bruins. So, how we doing, Buck Skull? How we doing, buddy? Colin, uh, Mason Marshman to the Jackets for a 27 second round pick in the 26 fourth round pick. That’s an interesting move. Is Columbus, where are they? Um, okay. That’s that’s interesting. I guess Columbus feels like with a little help, they can still uh they haven’t given up on the season. It’s very interesting, huh? Simon, how we doing? Uh, Deno to the Halves for a second round pick. Well, well, well, that’s interesting. Again, let’s take a look at um I know that um Montreal was looking to get some kind of help. I don’t need to sign up. They still have him as at at as as a king at as a king right now. Um he’s played in Montreal before obviously, so that’s interesting to see if that actually does go through. Simon, yeah, it’s well the trades are speeding up. I think it’s because of the Olympic break. I think teams might kind of want them. It looks like most of it, not most, but some. Obviously, at least the deal is being made for the Olympics. So, it’s it’s uh adds a little spice to the holiday season. Hey, Miami Sports Spaceman says, “I got to love seeing crying Carolina fans.” I mean, three nothing is rough, right? We had a we had a really nice guy uh in the chat last night. He’s a Canes fan. and he’s been around for a little while. When it was 3 nothing, he came in. He’s like, “Hey, man. You know, he’s been he’s a member here on the channel.” He’s like, “Hey, man. Sorry about the game. Maybe we’ll see you in the playoffs.” It’s like, “All right, that’s that’s cool.” You know what I mean? Everything’s cool. And uh and then the next thing you know, um boom, baka waka boom boom. You know what I mean? Mike says, “First place by tonight. Could happen. Could happen.” Scientist says lots of respect to Adam Gold, Carolina local radio host said the game wasn’t a ref or a coaching issue but a Kane’s not responding issue and anyone who thinks otherwise is bullshitting themselves. Well, that’s good. That’s good to hear. Yeah, good to see someone on the opposite media who isn’t sucked into the propaganda. Hungry says Twitter, Reddit are saltier than the Dead Sea today. I said my piece right. I put my little 6 am crash out. I I didn’t sleep. I didn’t get four hours of sleep. I don’t even know how much more than three hours of sleep I got. And I woke up and I saw everything that was going on. And uh I wanted to do that video in the recap room with Kermit, but I had my water softener set to go off at 6:00 in the morning, so it was too noisy in there. Hey, Patel says, “What an amazing win.” I think that has to be the best regular season Panthers game I’ve watched. Yeah, that was that was pretty it’s pretty wild that that happened that way. Yeah, the Sabres have a winning record. What did I do? Oh, okay. Uh yeah, I mean the Sabres anybody I mean I don’t think the Sabres are going to win the division obviously, but the East the Atlantic is still still there. Patel says Mason Marchman has a high salary and the picks don’t warrant for this trade. Remember when Marshman was traded for a second rounder or Marshand was traded for a second rounder that became a first? Still the best trade ever all day long. Now let me see what I think I thought March’s contract was 4 million. Am I Am I wrong there or did he Four and a half? Four and a half. Was there anything retained? Um I mean he’s clearly a rental. Columbus is an interesting spot for him. You know, that’s that’s an interesting move. He doesn’t, you know, but Marshman didn’t have a no move clause, so he didn’t have a say in where he would go. What’s his What’s his stats been like? Uh, let’s see. They still have him. Well, now they have him on the Jackets. They Let’s see. Um, yeah. So, last year with Dallas, he had 22 goals. The season before 22. Last year with Seattle, he only played 29 games and had four goals. Was he hurt last season? That’s not something I’m familiar with. He must I mean he didn’t get he had to be hurt to have played. No, excuse me. That’s this year. What are you thinking, Jaws? Wake up. Wake up. I know I didn’t get any sleep. So, he’s on pace for a little bit fewer goals than he would normally get. His shot percentage is cut in half from what it normally is. And uh that’s an interesting move for Columbus. I wouldn’t have I don’t think anybody would have really called that. Yeah. Every team in the East is over 500. Yeah. Hunger says Jaws being fiery but mostly peaceful in the morning was great. Yeah. You know, um those things tend to happen if I have to take more meds than I normally take. I get a little ornery. Hey Dietrich. Yeah, I appreciate that, bud. Yeah, Marian hit Bussy in the Yeah, don’t bam me YouTube. Now, that was um How can I explain my thoughts on the Marshian whack? He whacked him. I think that’s my thoughts on it. Yeah, Marian definitely whacked Busy. I think that’s I I I’ll see myself out. Patel, didn’t Dallas get pissed at Marshman during the playoffs and cast them aside to Seattle? That is correct. Correct. Mundo. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. So, hey, look, I just it’s just just curious. Um because the Kraken, let’s see, where are the Kraken? Okay, so they’re in dead last place in the conference. So I guess they figure nothing from nothing means nothing. So for the Kraken, that’s a pretty good deal. Um that’s a pretty good deal actually when you think about it for the for what I don’t that’s a heavy price for Columbus to pay. What was that? What was that again? Hold on a second. You know, now that I’m starting to wake up to it, a second round pick and a fourth to rent Mason Marchman and they’re in last place. Columbus’s that don’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Like now that I’m now that I’m digesting it, a second and a fourth to rent Marchment when when their chances of making the division or or making the playoffs are pretty pretty low. I’m not so sure about that asset management there at all. I mean, you know, unless they think they can resign him, you you would have to think that the only way that that that deal becomes profitable or even even for for Columbus is if they can keep him long term. But it’s not like he’s I don’t know that a two and a four. That’s a bit much. Vinnie, a four-game win streak. big Dallas and also Carolina. Yeah, the uh the Colorado game never happened. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I don’t remember playing the ABS. Do you? I don’t I don’t know nothing about the I didn’t realize Colorado still had a team. I thought they moved back to Quebec. I don’t remember that game. Patel says, “I saw I saw Border Roll as the GM in Seattle. Is he related to the female border roll who does games for Sports Nets?” Uh, I would I don’t know either one of them, but let’s see. Um, uh, let’s see. Yes, Jennifer Border. And yes, they are they’re are siblings. They are siblings. Uh Patel, that’s his that’s his sister. Yeah, good call. Good catch there. Uh scientist says, “Do I think we see the same lines tonight or anyone gets some rest?” Patel says, “Is Greer going to get some rest?” I mean, I would like to see Greer get some rest, but these guys are hockey players unless he’s really hurting. I doubt he wants to come out. He got beat the crap out of him last night. I mean, the slash on the hand. You saw a big red welt coming up. Um, I don’t know. I can’t imagine they’re going to have anything before the game here today since it’s six o’clock. I don’t even know if they’d have a morning skate or not. But I mean, if you got to put studs in for Greer, maybe. But I’ i’d be surprised if they did. He was he was hurting in a few spots last night. That that dude is uh he’s definitely sacrificing his body. Now, that’s a man who the Olympic break will do him some good. Greer especially. Um, I think the Olympic break will do Sam Samoskevich some good. I’ve seen him a couple of times. Uh, he looks like he might have a little something going on with one of his legs. Not anything major, but I I saw him in a little bit of pain yesterday and I saw him like testing it out towards the bench. So, that’s another couple of guys where especially guys like Greer, uh, where at least their bodies are going to get a little bit of rest. 2012 says Panthers equal the best team to take the license against the Oilers in the 80s. Three repeat in T minus six months. It’s it’s definitely in the realm of possibility. That’s for sure. I I this doesn’t feel um it doesn’t feel impossible. It was a little difficult start to the season, but most of the guys, you know, we were we were definitely not completely ready to start this season. I think everybody kind of and kind of Maurice too, like the the general ambiance I got from the team was like, man, can we have one more month off? And so they almost took the extra month off. Dietri says some outside the wild card to second in the conference in like a week with injuries. Feeling good. Remember we were last in the conference, right? We we hit dead last for for a day. So, it’s all good stuff now. And it’s you’re starting to see a little bit of separation now in in at least the metro with the Hurricanes at 47 and uh the Jackets at 34. There’s not much separation in the Atlantic. Like I know Leaf fans are apoplelectic and they’re not happy with their team, but they’re six points out of first place with two games in hand. You you know what I mean? Like while on one hand I do kind of feel like that team has peaked in terms of this version of the Leafs, they still if they won their two games in hand would only be two points out of first place. Like it’s not Armageddon just yet. You know what I mean? Um the only team that’s the Sabres aren’t even really out of it. It’s just everybody knows the Sabres aren’t going to come back and win the division. But right now, um, you know, any team that if any one of these teams got on a real like 10, 12 game win streak, they would just run away with the division and never to be caught. Patel says, “I was working yesterday during the noon stream. I have to say what a disaster for the Oilers getting jar and three games later going to IR. The Oilers likely going to rely on Pickard and an AHLer. Also amazing that Busy is now a starter and Anderson cast aside as the backup. Well, Anderson always is hurt. Like every year the dude gets hurt. Um and so, you know, I I’ve spoken on Busy before. I I was amazed that he had not gotten an opportunity uh previously and up until last night he had been he had been deuces making making good of his of his opportunity. But I suspect that last night in that third period is the most pressure that he’s faced so far in any one of these games. And I’m not going to sit here and say he choked or anything like that. Um, but like I said in the recap last night, pressure situations when you’re talking about playing against guys like Marshand and Reinhardt and all these guys that have multiple cups and you got Busy out there who’s still basically technically a rookie despite his age. Sometimes it takes, you know, sometimes experience wins, right? Hey, I see. Yeah, man. What a win, huh? Capital says, “Put an A on Marshian’s jersey. We wouldn’t be where we are without him performing.” No doubt. No doubt. I just want to know what like the dude just keeps on going. Like honestly, have we have we seen one game this year, maybe one game maybe, where was like, “Yeah, Marian didn’t really have that many legs. Didn’t really have the legs going tonight.” Like he just plays hard. all game long. Every time you see him, he’s speeding up and down the ice. If there’s a play to be made, he is going to haul ass to try to make that play. I mean, just incredible what what he has done to keep himself in that shape at that age after all the hockey he’s played to just have that he’s got such a motor on him. It’s just it’s uh just ISIS says, “Yeah, ever since you came to Florida, he’s been like a new person and rejuvenated.” And that’s and that’s very true, right? I mean, that can happen to anybody. You get into a bad situation, you get into a good situation, all of a sudden your energy is better. So, he’s he’s having a blast for sure. Reinhardt, Michael says Reinhardt deserves an A, too. I’m not so sure Reinhardt would want it. He seems to be the quiet the quiet leadership type. You know what I mean? Patel says he’s the youngest 37 year old I’ve seen and he outskates 18 year olds. Yeah. It’s just it’s just we’re truly blessed and and like I said last night to recap. I mean this is all ZTO like it’s rare where a GM I mean he pulled the trigger on two trades last year basically, right? Well, the Sturm one wasn’t wasn’t great, but he pulled the trigger on two trades last year at the trade deadline that overwhelmingly you can point to those two trades and say, I don’t think the Panthers went back to back without those trades. Now, maybe somebody else would have stepped up. Who knows? Um, but just the energy that those guys brought last year at that point in time when Kachchuck was out and then uh when Eblad was suspended, you know, just just the energy that Marian making up for Kachchuck not really having it in the playoffs. Just you don’t you don’t see trade deadline acquisitions when you think about it. Only team one only one one team wins a cup, right? And so all the rest of the trade deadline acquisitions, unless it’s a young team just trying to get to the next level to get into the playoffs, kind of like the Panthers with Jaru, for the most part, most of those trades, they go they go by the wayside, you know, especially if they’re just rentals. Doming says Marshy is on that XLAD gear. [laughter] Hey man, just don’t get caught, right? one water crazy guy says, “I don’t know why, but I had a strong feeling this was going to happen. I usually give up hope.” Did you have the same feeling? Um, there was there was a there was a concern that I wasn’t sure for a little while. I wasn’t sure that they were going to be able to turn this energy on. I knew that they had the physical ability. They didn’t all just suddenly lose to physical ability, but it takes a lot of mental fortitude and a lot of want to to play Maurice’s system at a high level on a nightly basis. And let’s not don’t fool ourselves. We’re going to still have another slump or maybe even two at some point in the season. You know what I mean? we’re we’re going to have, you know, a four or five game streak here or there where they’re not really busting their ass the way they are now. You can’t play a full season like this. Um, but for a little while I was there were multiple games that had come and gone where I thought, okay, this is the night they’re definitely going to turn it on for tonight. And then they didn’t turn it on. And so I I was getting a little bit concerned about, well, maybe they just completely wiped out. Maybe they were just completely washed out. And I keep pointing to it. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know if somebody said something, but this has been two seasons so far. This is everything that happened up to being down 4-1 to Columbus and then everything that’s happened since. That that game just completely changed things because when we got down 4-1, it was like they looked around the bench and they were like, “No, no, no, no. This No, it ain’t happening. And they have been pretty much like themselves since then. Uh, capitalism and ETA on Chucks. Welcome back. The um idea, assumption, hope is maybe the Winter Classic. Um, but Maurice said yesterday they’re not even sure when he’s going to start practicing. They said he’s on pace. He’s he hasn’t had a setback. Everything is on pace, but they haven’t like told Maurice, hey, this is the day he’s going to practice yet. He’s meeting all of the benchmarks. Everything is on schedule. Um, but even when you ask Zto, they don’t know for sure, which I I kind of like that. You know what I mean? I kind of like that they haven’t pinpointed one game and said that’s the game for sure. Like, they’re just letting him naturally heal. But if it’s not the Winter Classic, it’s going to be real soon after that. Uh yeah, Maurice said Reinhardt to be the captain. That That’s true. Um Patel says, “I think the reason we give up hope is because we’re Dolphin fans.” Maybe Science says, “Thoughts on Lundelle being a future captain?” I don’t think it’ll happen. And not because I don’t think I’m not sure the age. So Lindell is 24, Barkoff is 30. So if if Barkoff let let me see how long is Barkoff’s contract because he’s in the middle, right? He is in year um his he’s in year four. So his contract right now runs out at age 34. That’s going to be an interesting decision. Now, we’re not gonna get rid of Alexander Bararkov. He’s he is he is retiring as a Panther. I don’t think there’s any question there. The question is going to be how many years after that does he want to sign for? So, I think that’s going to have an effect on whether or not Lundelle gets the captain seat because you’re not taking it away from Bararkov. So, that’s this year and four more seasons. So, at that point, by the time Bararkov would be looking to resign a new deal, Lundell would be 30. And then if if uh Barkov decides to stay around till like 38 with Copitar by the time he retire if Wendell is still with us now he’s 34 35 I don’t I don’t think that they would I think they might go with somebody younger at at that point um pending pending what you know um who else is on the roster. I would I wouldn’t I’m not 100% sure the team’s next captain is on the roster. Um it would probably be Lundelle. You never know what happens. I don’t know if Samuskevich is is is that that kind of guy. Um but I think Lendell would we he’d probably get an A at some point. You would think, right? Tel says, “If Marshy on Egglad gear, why Marian makes so little mistakes and it’s always Ecklad’s fault.” [laughter] Oh, it’s it’s it’s uncanny, man. Ecklad’s been good, though this year. Knock on wood, all of that stuff. Eld’s been good. Hey, Spaceman, the Kane’s fans are just crybab. Everybody’s Everybody but Panther fans hates us now. It’s a hell of a It’s been a hell of a ride, I tell you that. I see some comments and I’m just like, that’s why I made that video this morning. I’m like, y’all full of If you actually believe, if you really sit there and think, “Yeah, Colin Campbell isoop boop. Yeah, Gary, make sure the Panthers win.” If somebody really really in their heart believes that, then why why would they watch? Why why would somebody who actually believes their team is getting cheated and the league is rigged? Why would they watch if they’re so sure that that’s what’s happening? It’s because they don’t they don’t believe that. It’s just it’s just garbage. It’s just garbage. Craig says, “Haven’t Yeah, we haven’t been hit by the flu yet either.” Yeah, good point. Good point. 2012 says 63 is the signing of the 21st century. It’s It’s ZTO hit a home run, that’s for sure. Yeah, exactly. No reason to rush to return. Um Hungry says, “Random question. Do teams usually wear the winner classic jersey in other games or is it just us?” I’m not I’m not so sure. It’s a good question. Um, so so Patel, I appreciate the compliment, but we’re not doing the hurricane stream. I did I did put out a post. I have a question for you guys. Um, are do you not I don’t even know how to say this because if you don’t see the post, you wouldn’t know it. I still got this fever. So, I’m here now and I only got like three hours worth of sleep last night. I gotta try to rest this afternoon so I’m good for the Panther game. So, no, we’re we’re not we’re not going to do the the Hurricanes one. I’m gonna try to watch the game, but I have a feeling I’m going to pass out and fall asleep. I still got a fever, unfortunately. I’m just I’m really jacked up on meds. That’s that’s the reality of the situation. Um, which is usually makes for good videos like this morning. But I put out a post early this morning about it and like nobody has like there’s no thumbs up, there’s no nothing. And so I was kind of wondering like if nobody saw it at all. Frank says the third goal went in last night. Decided to take my sleeping juice. Wake up to the postgame coverage showing Bob fist pumping. What the hell that just happened? Yeah, Frank. Exactly, man. So, Michael says Maurice said he thinks Lindell will be the captain of the team one day. All right. Okay. I mean, he’s definitely capable. I just don’t know how the years would would would time out. Yeah, they call us dirty. They call us nasty. Somebody needs to make that a rap song. Spaceman, we need a Panthers fan that can rap. I cannot rap. I can pretend to rap, but we need somebody that can actually rap to make a rap song. And that’s like how it opens up. They call us dirty, they call us nasty. Don’t make me write it. Don’t we got somebody that can rap around here? I said 2012 says our third and fourth lines would be near any other team’s first and second line. Right. So, Patel says, “Is the cap going up and the Panthers can sign most of their players?” We have no cap issues next year for the most part. Um, we got to sign Babski to an extension and then with the cap that’s going up, we got money. We have money to sign people. And um, if we want to upgrade the bottom pair or the the uh the bottom line, the fourth line, money is not an issue. Even if Babski wants his full 10 million, we’re good next year. Um, but that’s why I keep saying if we’re going to trade for anybody with term, we do want to know what Bar Barski’s number is going to be because we don’t want to create problems for ourselves where we don’t have them yet. You think I added extra years to Lundelle’s age? Barkoff at 38, Lundell will be 32. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That’s probably You’re probably right. Yeah. Jones has been really good. Yep. Our rat keeps out playing guys nearly half his age. Now, here’s a question for you guys. Do you think he hit Do you think he hit Busy in the nuts on purpose? I mean, he just kind of skates up and whacks him. I mean, there’s no way around it. Like, what do you guys think about that? Patel says, “Right now, the Panthers are hated. Few years back it was the Lightning. Before that, the Blackhawks, the Flyers, the Avalanche.” Yeah, very true. Very true. Yeah, we’re doing the Winter Classic two more times later in the season. Hey, David. How you doing, bud? Hold on a second. What the hell am I hearing out here? Oh, okay. All right. The neighbors got a new dog. They got a six-month-old uh German Shepherd puppy and he got out or she got out the other day and that was a barrel of fun. That was a lot of fun. She’s adorable. [snorts] Nothing more cowbell won’t fix. Exactly. Hungry. Gotcha. Kazuma. Do I need more cowbell for my fever? I had that shirt. That’s a good story. This was years ago. Oh my god. This was at least 15 years ago. I was at an estate sale and it was it was close to the last day and I go upstairs and I’m going through the guy’s closet and he’s got some t-shirts and you know I was just looking to see if he had anything interesting and I’m standing there and and it was just this green shirt and it just had the whole thing on. It’s like uh you know what I need is more it was like a whole the whole cowbell thing. I forget the saying. Um, I got a fever and I need more cowbell, whatever it was that the shirt said. And I just started balling out laughing in the middle of this estate sale. And I’m just like, there’s no way. There’s no way. I It just tickled my fancy so much. I was laughing, hysterical, and people are looking at me. I’m like, I can’t believe it. I can’t believe I found this shirt at a yard sale. And I wore the f out of that shirt. It had holes in it. I still kept wearing it yard sailing. It was a good conversation piece. I would get a lot of good deals cheap wearing that shirt. Uh Hungary says, “Fun fact, with Tristan Jarry injured, the Oilers tandem of Connor Ingram 856 and Cal Peard 858 are rocking the worst save percentage in the AHL and NHL respectively.” Man, man, man, man. Now, here’s a question for you. When when Carolina picked Busy up off of waiverss, could was Edmonton ahead of them, could Edmonton have picked up Busy before Carolina? Because if so, whoopsies. Whoopsies. Whoopsie doodles. Whoopsy daisies. Can you imag Edmonton with busy would be a problem? I mean, Carolina with busy is a problem, but Edmonton with busy would would be a problem. That that would be a a big problem. Yeah, Dedric. They hate us cuz they ain’t us. Dave says, “Hate us high and low everywhere we go. Our cups you’d love to show your hockey team blows. Come on, a little help. [laughter] I’ll ask chat. Oh, wait a minute. Hey, wait a second. Hold on a second. Hold on. Let’s Hold on a second. Hold on. What are we doing here? Hold on a second. Then share the screen. Let’s do this together. What was that first line? Hold on. What was What was that first line? Come back over here. Hold on. [snorts] What was the Hold on a second. Um, they call us dirty, they call us nasty. All right, so let’s come down here. All right, let’s see if it can do it. Let’s see. Come on, CHAT. [laughter] They call us dirty. They call us nasty. South Florida heat got the league all gassy. Sunrise nights, red seats getting rowdy every time we roll through. Whole barn getting rowdy. [laughter] Yeah, they hate our style cuz they say we’re crossing the line, but we just play hard every shift, every time. For check, heavy hit, first ask later. Claws out, teeth beared. Natural born agitators from the crease to the boards. Yeah, we live in the grind. Not pretty hockey, but we’re still going to shine. They boo when we score, throw shade when we win. But the scoreboard talks, let’s let’s settle. Let it settle the sin. Damn. Then the hook. Whole league mad when the Panthers attack. Fan base is salty. Put the salt in the chat. They love to complain. Say we’re playing unfair, but hate sounds sweet when you’re breathing that air. Original six scout. When we talk, when we walk in the rink, cold city’s mad cuz the dynasty sank. We don’t need their love. We don’t need their praise. Just another enemy added to the flames. They say we’re villains, say we ruined the game. Funny how the villains always remember the name from Parkov to Kachchuck in your head. Mind games heavy. Yeah, we’re living rentree instead. Damn, this is long. They say Florida can’t hockey. Yeah, we heard that before. Now they circle the calendar, dreading the score. White towels wave, the cats stay feral. Welcome to the jungle. Pressure getting unbearable. And then uh jeez, it keeps on going. Whole league mad when the Panthers attack. Fan bases salty. Put the salt in the chat. They love to complain. Say we’re playing unfair, but the hate sounds sweet when you’re breathing that air. We ain’t angels. N never claim that crown. We just hit the ice trying to shut your tone down. Every whistle late, every scrum gets wild. That’s Panthers hockey. Born mean, born styled. So keep all the hate. Yeah, we feed on that fuel. From the Everglades chill to the playoffs rule. They all hate us. Guess we’re doing it right. Florida Panthers. Yeah, we bark. Yeah, we bite. WOW. [laughter] Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. Exact. Oh, who said that? Yeah. Yep. Yes. Hungry. Yep. I Hold on a second. I I’m not signed in. So, let me screenshot these because I don’t I don’t want to lose it. That That is ridiculous. That is ridiculous. Hold on. I want to make sure I don’t lose it. I just screenshot everything. Let me log in and see if it’s still if it if it’ll still stay there for me. It probably will. No, I lost it. That’s okay, though, cuz we we still got it. We still got Oh my god. Wow, that was Hey, thank you, Jason. Thank you, Tipsy. Thank you, bud. Sister Kane’s just bitching about the Jarvis non call, although we had 15 non- calls against us. Let’s go, Cats. Two more points. Let’s go. Go giggum. Giggum, Aggies. [laughter] Oh my god. That was great. Let me make sure I got all my I can’t believe that was actually pretty decent. That was actually pretty decent. Jackson says, “Can you imagine if the internet and the social media existed during the Islanders Dynasty?” Right, Jackson? >> [laughter] >> Oh my god. All right, let me scroll down to the bottom. I missed a lot. Uh David says, “Hurricanes 27, Aggies 24.” Oh, they definitely swallowed the whistles last night. No doubt. Hey, look, I mean, it was a trip. Rodriguez tripped them. I don’t think anybody’s denying that. Molly, that was funny as hell. Geez. Yeah, hungry. We’ll uh we’ll have to work on that. I’ll have to figure out we’ll have we’ll have to get somebody to create some music for that. Let me make sure all my screenshots are there. Hold on a second. Let me just make sure that that all took It should have taken. It’s never given me a problem before. Um yeah, we’re good. We We got We got the whole thing there. That’s wild, man. Did I get the whole thing? Let me see. They call us dirty. Call Yeah. Born agitators. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I got the whole thing. Okay, we’re good. That’s crazy. It wasn’t that bad. Wasn’t that bad. Hungary says, “Imagine the level of housing that would have happened if if there were social media days back in the days of the broad street bullies.” I know. It’s It’s just wild. I mean, that’s that’s the whole Oh, you can make music hungry. All right. Email me. We’ll we’ll talk. We’ll talk. The only music I made Well, I mean, I can play the piano, but the only beat I ever made was that Panther song. And I don’t remember how I did it. I found a beat maker online. You’re talking eight years ago. I found a beat maker online and I made the original just like that and then I did something in my editor with it. I reversed it and then I put an echo on it by accident and that’s the music you hear. Like it was it was created accidentally on purpose. Like I did something and I layered the tracks by accident and one was in reverse and one was not and that’s the song. And when I heard that beat I’m like save. I’m like I ain’t changing that. I don’t I don’t know what I did. I don’t even know the program I used. It was it was just a magical day. Beg says I’ll always say this too. If it was the other team’s player, they’d be on Cloud9, right? Yeah, good point. Davis says, “Got up. Going to probably be a pretty violent game in a few days, even though Rod got an overhand right in. That’s not enough when they go after Rhino.” Yeah, nobody’s talking about Rinard getting plastered along the boards by Walker. No, nobody I don’t see anybody online mentioning that. You know the hell was that noise? I don’t know. All right. Hungry. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Scientist, email me, man. Email me. [email protected]. We’ll hell. We’ll have fun with that for sure. Holy crap. Jackson, I appreciate that, man. Well, you know, I didn’t get much sleep. Oh, they’re out there in the kitchen. I didn’t get much sleep. That’s the other reason I can’t I got a I got a leak under my sink that went all the way down into my garage. So, I got the water off to the kitchen. So, I got it drying out now. I think I I pretty sure I know where the leak is, but unfortunately it’s the connection to the to the faucet. So, I got to get all the way up under there and turn water back on and you try to figure out where the hell the leak is and see if I can fix it or not. I mean, I can I can fix it, if I can reach it. Craig says, “Or when the goalies chop dudes in the crease like Hex and Billy Smith, right?” Yeah. Can you imagine that? Yeah, David. [laughter] Yeah. Any goalie? Not shopping. Time to get another goalie, right? Yeah. We’ll we’ll work it out. It It’s The area in that kitchen sink has been a problem since I got this house. Um, it’s it’s a old farmhouse, you know what I mean? It just is what it is. It needs to be replplumbed, rewired, re everything, but the insulation’s good. Yeah, there used to be a lot of different reasons guys avoided the the crease. Kazuma says, “Carolina fans debate with me, saying the rest were paid off by the Cats, and when I told him the rest blew a three nothing lead.” He replied, “At least our fans show up.” And I sent them the numbers saying otherwise. Block. I mean, we could do that here, right? Right. NHL attendance rankings. Uh, let’s see. So, we going by capacity, going by total. What are we going by? So, here, if you’d like to go by total, uh, Montreal Canadians are first and the Florida Panthers are second and then the Toronto Maple Leafs are third. The Carolina Hurricanes are four, five, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. That would be 12. So yeah, the Panthers draw more than the Leafs. But hey, don’t let don’t let that fool anybody, right? Don’t let that fool anybody, but I I put out that I haven’t even um Jackson says it’s hilarious. Roughing and hockey is literally one of the biggest appeals outside of speed and skill. They want to turn it into football, you know. Now, Davis says, “Yeah, Dave Davis says, “Again, I do feel sorry for Carolina fans to a point. They have been dejected after blowing a three nothing lead halfway through the third to their arch rivals.” No doubt. Like, we would be freaking out, but we would be pissed at our players, right? Like maybe I’m being a homer, but I don’t I mean I’ve been doing this a long time here with you guys, 10 seasons, and I I can count on definitely less than one hand. I need less than a hand to count how many times the chat in a recap or in a stream has has really been even remotely close to blaming a loss on the refs. We’ve had a We’ve had a couple. We’ve had a few, but generally speaking, we just get pissed at our own guys. We don’t argue. We We argue over which player of ours is at is at fault. That That’s what I see Panther fans doing. If they’re going to argue, it’s like he blames Egglad, but he blames Bob. You know what I mean? Like, I don’t I don’t see very many it was the ref’s fault. Mike says, “Agreed. Do they even allow tackling in the NFL or do they just play flag football?” Now it’s bad. It’s It’s gotten so It’s And it just continues to get worse. Kazuma says someone else told him in the comment, “You show up the game scores nothing else to do in rally.” Oh, is what it is. David says, “I like to think I’d let it bother me for about an hour, but then on to the next, but we’ve got two cups in a row.” So, kind of different for us. Exactly. Yeah. Donna says, “Sometimes it’s even Kyle’s fault.” It’s always Kyle’s fault. Kyle started this whole thing. Kyle’s the one that went on vacation to Florida, okay? And there was a losing streak. And when he came back, they started winning and we’ve been to the cup every year since then. Is 100% Kyle’s fault for going to Florida. It just happens to be that it’s his fault we won two cups. You know, I mean, is what it is. Soflo says, “We don’t ever talk about losses being the ref’s faults because we never get bad calls. Gregory Campbell has the refs in our back pocket. [laughter] Oh. Oh my god. Like, like I get talking on the internet and you get irritated and you leave out, you know, you put out a comment. I understand all of that, but but the they believe it like like like they believe it that that they actually believe that Campbell and Peril like Yeah. Hey. Yeah. Hey, Batman. Yeah. Make sure. Yeah. Again, against the Canes, three goals. All right. Yeah. Deuces. Like there there’s a level of I don’t know what the word is disassociation from reality that you have to reach. Like why? And and even even if Colin Campbell was trying to do that, right? Like even if Campbell was trying, why would the league, what is his superpower that this league that is run by billionaire owners, what’s Campbell’s superpower that the league goes, “Oh, wait. Oh, wait. The Campbell said we got to have the Panthers win, so we better have Florida win.” Like, what’s what’s the superpower that these dudes have? because it just doesn’t it’s not computing to my computer. [snorts] I’m scrolling up to see to see what I missed here. Craig says, “Get C to Florida.” You know, it’s interesting because he went to Florida the first year we lost the cup. Then he went to Florida the year we won the cup. That’s when Ellie died while he was gone. And him and I went to Florida last year. You might have just cost me money, Craig. Damn it. He’s been to Florida all three years. Don’t tell him I said that. I’ll have to figure something out. Kazuma says, “Now that Jarvis is out, do I think Carolina might drop some points?” Man, I feel bad for the dude being out. I mean, he’s out there playing hard. He got tripped. You know, it’s an unfortunate result of the trip. There’s no way it’s not a trip. Um, I mean, at least like Ek was reasonable. He’s like, “Hey, man. Guys, guys have been tripping guys who are breaking towards the net all the time. Like, it’s a known thing. If you’re heading towards the net and you might have free rain there, you might you might get tripped.” Hungry says at this point they just feel bad that somehow the Blue Jackets managed to lose while having Gregory Campbell in their front office. Yeah, that’s the other right. Exactly. Mike says, “I mean that close loss, the close against the ABS, the ref screwed us.” I know. Exactly. It was clearly It was clearly. Do I have a referee costume to do a skit on this? No. That’s one thing I don’t have. No. What if we What if I pretended What if I did a skit and I was Colin and Gregory Campbell, but I was wearing my unicorn and Sasquatch onesies? What do you guys think of that idea? If I did a skit as Colin and Gregory Campbell and then um I’d have to have one more onesie to be perilous though, wouldn’t I? Yeah. Where were the refs during the the Avalanche games, right? Mayor says, “Yeah, we pay the refs. They’re ours. We literally own them.” [laughter] Oh, here we go. So, this might actually be real. Silva says, “Trade alert. Montreal Canadians have acquired Philip Deno from the Kings for a second round pick.” I think that’s real, right? Somebody mentioned that earlier. And there he is. Well, that’s interesting. That is something that the Canadians definitely needed. No doubt. Um, now he’s he didn’t have a great year last year and so far this year there’s there’s no goals at all. So he’s he must have regressed here a little bit. 27 goals with the Kings in 22, 18 and 23, 17 and 24, eight last year and none this year. Um, but his face off percentage is still good. So, it’s definitely it’s definitely something that will help them for sure. Now, I just wonder if they’re going to go get a goalie. Good job, Silva. It’s about time you reported on a real one. [snorts] Davis says, “To quote Austin, the ABS stomped the mud hole in us, but that’s okay. We’re improving. The ABS may be peaking too soon.” Yep. Yeah. Get this man to South Florida. Right. I asked Zuma. I don’t remember. Yeah, exactly. What a game. I don’t remember that ABS game. We’re on like what’s game six or seven of the 14 game win streak. I predicted, right? It’s happening. Oh, now if they if they go 13-1 other than that ABS game, we’re definitely we’re we’re going to have a petition to just have that game eliminated from history. Craig says, “Greyhound bus.” No, he’d he’d fly down there. I don’t know. We’ll have to I’ll have to figure it out. It’s all money related, Craig. Um, my parents are doing a 50th anniversary thing in February. Don and I were thinking about getting down there. I don’t know that it’s going to happen. Um, but maybe maybe if I could find a way to get Kyle down there for a week’s vacation during the Olympic break. I mean, he’s been to Florida all three years around his, so maybe I’ll have to think about it. Don’t tell him I said anything. Don’t r me out. I want to at least get something out of it. Like he’s got to mow the grass or something. Hey, Bill. How we doing, bud? Mike says, “Oh yeah, did we score close enough? Makes my ref paid off theory more credible.” Exactly. 2012. Treat it like a slapshot. Roadie. All right. Scientist. Appreciate you, bud. Thanks. Kuma says, “Shave the beard. Pretend to be Batman talking to the refs on how to help the cats.” Oh, no. No, no, no, no. That cannot happen. We would have We have Kyle shade and Kyle can prepare Kyle can pretend to be Bman. Yeah. We’ll we’ll we’ll slick Kyle’s hair back. He don’t have much to shave. I can’t I cannot cannot I cannot do it. It can’t happen. You think look You think I look like a methhead with the beard. You should see how skinny my face is without it. Freaking my body is trying to like I I spent like two days without eating my peanut butter and jelly waffles and I just like start wasting away to nothing. [snorts] It’s not good. And even Don is like, “Yeah, I think you got skinny again.” I’m like, “Yeah, I know. No, my pants are falling down. I have the opposite problem of most men my age.” Is what it is. Hey, the IDK. Yeah, that happened last night, Bill. Great ending to the game, man. No doubt. No doubt, man. It was We had We had Sasha out and everything. Yeah, exactly. Silva game seven of the 14game win streak and we saw that when Columbus and we talked about that one. Um Columbus sends us a a second and a fourth to the crack information Marchman. I really feel like that’s an overpayment to rent Marchment on a and and he and then Columbus is in last place. I I mean that’s a hell of a high price in my opinion to pay. Maybe it’s just me. Duma says, “Fun fact, Jake Paul got surgery for a broken jaw after last night’s fight. He had two titanium plates and lost seven teeth.” I I didn’t watch the fight, but I saw the highlight. Um, one one interesting one interesting this is just a question now. Nobody nobody get their uh their panties in a vine. I haven’t watched boxing since probably Larry Holmes. So that’s how long um I’ve I it’s been since I watched boxing. Not that that was a real huge match, but the highlights that I saw um when did when is is it just a normal thing now for women to announce boxing? It was it was for me unusual and irregular. It was like this lady was was yelling about this fight and I just Is that like is that new or has that been going on and I just don’t watch boxing? How’s that been received by the boxing community? Because I know each each sport has had their introductions with that and it was just it I just wasn’t expecting it because I you know I haven’t watched boxing in whatever the hell Larry Holmes was. She does the Netflix flights fights interest. So that’s the same girl. I guess this was on ESPN or something. Davis says, “But for 40 or 50 million, I’d take a broken jaw and a few of your teeth.” I mean, if you get the right doctor to fix the jaw. Yeah. Right. Silva says, “Colle needs to make the playoffs for this year. They’ve been a poverty franchise for their entire existence.” Um, it just seems March Mint is a bit of a reach for two and a four. I got to assume that they think they’re going to sign him. I mean the two is I mean we only gave up two twos for Sam Bennett you know says I’m worried now Maurice will pull the goal with five minutes left. Oh it’s coming. I mean it did four already. Next up is five. No doubt he’s working his way to 10 minutes. I’m sure it was on Netflix. I see. Dave says, “I used to get my ass kicked for free.” Silver says, “Their best,” Talk about Columbus. Their best points percentage ever was 659. They never made the playoffs in the top three of their division. How they still have fans is beyond me. Well, yeah. I mean, at least like the Panthers had their run in 96 that got some people hooked. You know what I mean? Um, they have five playoff wins in their history. How long have they been around? Yeah. Polalie to start the game. Columbus Blue Jackets. How long have they been around? So, since 2000. Since 2000. And the only series they won was the one where they beat the Lightning. That’s it. So, 25 seasons, six playoff uh six playoff appearances, a playoff record of 15 and 26. So, have they have they won other? Let me see. lost in the first round, lost in the second round in 1819. That’s the year that they beat um Tampa, right? And then they also lost in the quarterfinals in 2008 and 2009. and the the the coaches King Galant Hitchcock, Arneal, Richards, Tortoella, Larson, Vincent, and then Ev. Tors was the only one that really got them moving. Tors is the only one that got them going uh back to back to back four times in a row. Yeah, that’s a rough one. So says it was pretty bad, but the teeth were still attached to the jawbone, but the jaw split in half, so a whole row of teeth were intact, but side winded. God, I mean, I The highlights were only a minute long. Um, it seemed like he was getting his ass whooped way before he got his glass jaw broke. Like there were a few moments, at least when I saw the highlights, it kind of looked like maybe they were thinking about maybe should have stopped the fight sooner than that or I guess they don’t do that anymore unless the guy is just completely obliterated. Do they stop the fights anymore these days, David? Yeah, it’s 25 years, man. It’s 25 years. 2012 says, “Turn all power plays on the six on four pole.” Bob Silva says, “Uh, Maurice probably having them do six on five drills because the six on five play has improved dramatically.” They definitely been able to handle the puck better. That’s for sure. Uh, I have a friend that’s getting into hockey and was watching the Jackets play the other day. I explained their sad existence to him, but I might have given him depression. Silva. Yeah. No. Six. What was that? Six. 15 and 26. Um 15 and 26. They’ve won two rounds or let me see 2008 2009. They lost in the quarterfinals. So I still think that that’s only the second round back then. And then they beat the Lightning and that’s the only other round that they’ve won. That’s That’s a long time. Hey, thank you, Zach. Thank you, bud. Much appreciated, buddy. Says, “Wishing everyone an early merry Christmas. Happy holidays. Out of the country on vacation, but Jaws the Warrior jersey should be on his way.” All right. Thank Thank you, bud. I appreciate you, Zach. Thanks, bud. I’m looking out for it. I’ll open it up soon as we get here. hungry. Yeah, that’s uh I’m looking forward to that. We got to make it as I’ll have to see if we make it as cringe as possible. I gotta get I gotta get an outfit for it, too, though. Right. I got to get an outfit for it. Either that or I got to spend a couple weeks in the gym and get and get a little jacked up. Put on a wife beater. Put the hat on. Be all be all. You know what I mean? Take the glasses off though, dumbass. But you get what I’m saying. We’ll uh or maybe I’ll get a a panther skull cap. A good one. Yeah. We got to get an outfit. [laughter] Dave says, “I’m gonna guess without googling that the Panthers had a worse record for longer.” Oh, I don’t Yeah, we didn’t win from 1996 to 2000. Yeah, almost almost exactly the same, David. Pretty much. Good call. Yeah, they uh babe, I need to listen to that song. Sil says, “Oh, yeah, and Vrono had took down Robertson from behind and slammed his head into the ice full force, but all I’m hearing about is how the the dirty the Panthers are because Rod totally tripped Jarvis.” And then they they stacked the examples that they made up in their head as more examples. Like it was a trip. It was a trip. the the dude is cutting in to rush to the goal. Half the time the defenseman or the player that’s in that position is going to do really what Rod did and trip the dude. I mean that’s just that’s just what happens. Yeah. Jaws and a wife beater. Yeah. Panthers pan Oh, the Panther. Yeah. I think I have one. Do I have one? Oh, I don’t know. I’ll have to I’ll have to think of some ideas. I’ll have to think of some ideas. Yeah. Yeah. U scientists in Hungary, I’ll I’ll uh this afternoon I I’ll create a group email. I’ll create a group email. Yeah. Yeah. What would I What did I Now the one time. What did I do? I think I just wore a a tank top. I didn’t quite wasn’t quite quite a wife beater when I did the ice ice baby. Hold on a second now. Now I got to find it. When I did the nights nights baby. Hold on a second. I wonder how many people have actually even seen this. Hold on. Let’s see. Let me see if I can find this. Um, which one is the night’s nights, baby? Yep. Here we go. Hold on a second. I don’t Hold on a second. I gota I gotta listen to this, too. This was Wait, let me make sure this is the right one. No, not the Rocky Balboa one. No, no, no, Jaws. Not that one. Hold on. Bear with me. Bear with me here. Where the hell is the night’s knight’s baby thing? Was it in game two? Let me see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. This is from uh I did a recap of uh game two when Vegas won the cup. >> And go Caps. Hey yo, Vegas, how you doing? Let’s kick it. >> Nights, baby. Vegas, >> nights, nights, baby. >> All right, stop. Yo, Vegas, you made it to the finals. That’s nice. Panthers really helping you out. Need a top line and a coach? No doubt. Will it ever stop? Ash Dale, if you want to lose weight, eat kale. Panthers gonna give up a second to Seattle to take Mat and a flock of David cattle. What? You heard me correctly. Oie going to win a cup directly. Vegas be crying in the soup when flurry giving goes to the DC crew. Coming or going. The Panthers never know. It’s a dog on shame about the yard flow. If you got a problem with lines revolving, call up the cats and Dale will resolve them. >> Nights. Nights baby. >> Vegas. >> Nights. Nights baby. Nights baby. Vegas. Nights. Nights baby. Now pancakes are better than waffles. Expansion day for the cats was awful. Jackets giving up on Carlson had a transformation like Kelly Clarkson. Will they paid off? I don’t know. Nothing explains losing Marsha. So think is going to win a cup in the first year. MC drinking gallons of hater tears. 90 six points and we missed it. Biggers in the finals. Got me pissing salty like a box of crackers. Bitching and whining like millennial slackers. Like it or not, they made it to the show. Got me strangling pink flamingos. If you got a problem with lines revolving, Vinnie and Doug are sure to resolve them. All right, game two. Stanley Cook and we’re over here. You again. Hey, come on. Why don’t you let me do the intro tomorrow? Huh? Instead of these gringoes doing the yappy, huh? Come on. I’m the star of the show. Huh? I really need a better hobby. >> So yeah. [laughter] [laughter] Oh, so there it is. So there it is. Back when the beard was was was uh solid black. back when [laughter] you remember that one? Yep. Yeah. If you want to lose weight, eat kale. [laughter] Oh, well, someone says, “Jo, not [laughter] I’m not saying nothing, but if I were you, I wouldn’t be drawing attention.” Oh, you have to understand, Silva. It’s so bad it’s good. You know what I mean? You know, I didn’t I didn’t win the Daryl Hall lottery. So, uh I went the weird Al Yankee route just without the [laughter] [snorts] Oh, man. What can I still have that gold chain though? It’s obviously not real, but I I still have that somewhere in in the recap room. So, [laughter] a strangling flamingos. So dumb ass dumb name. What I what I had done was because I was against Vegas, I bought a bunch of blowup flamingos and the the shtick was every time Vegas was going to lose a game, I was going to like strangle the the pink flamingo or I was going to do it when when Washington won the cup or whatever it was. So I I still I think I still have those suckers laying around, too. That’s where Francisco came in. He was a pink flamingo. That’s kind of how Francisco ended up part of the channel was I was messing around with Vegas because I was so pissed off that we had given a Marsh show in Smith. So there’s there’s a lot of there’s a lot of lore behind a lot of this stuff that if people just watched one video like what? Yeah. And that like like people, well, how did Kermit end up in the video? And that that in that video, you saw Kermit going across the screen like that. That was that’s what’s in the in the fight song. When you see Kermit going across this the screen, that’s that’s what that’s from. I forgot more more I’ve done more videos than I could ever imagine to remember. And Donna finds this old stuff and shows it to me and I’m just like, “Oh my god, I can’t I I I remember when I did that. I remember when I did that.” Good times. Good times. So, all right everybody, I’m going to go get some rest. I’m gonna get a little bit of rest before the game tonight. U members members stream starts 5. The game’s at 6 tonight, right? Uh 6. Yeah. So, the member stream starts at 5:15 and uh I’m gonna try to get some sleep. I I three and a half hours maybe last night. I didn’t get much sleep. So, the coffee the coffee is starting to wear off now. So, I hopefully I can get some rest. I’m going to try to just watch the Can’s game, have a little bit of fun that way, but I have a feeling I have a feeling that’s that’s where I’m gonna be. I wanted to make sure I got plenty of energy for tonight. So, thanks for hanging out with me. Appreciate all the love, support, all super chats. All you guys are fantastic. And I’ll see you members at 5:15.
