00:00:00Welcome back to Bear With Me, the Boston Bruins are 0-1-0 and that is good enough for 7th

00:00:24in the Atlantic Division, 15th in the Eastern Conference, and essentially last in the National

00:00:30Hockey League.

00:00:31My name is Joey Caponni, that's where I've taught you.

00:00:32Rob, how are you doing?

00:00:33I'm doing well.

00:00:34Yeah, I know I'm doing well.

00:00:35That was not what we wanted.

00:00:39It's not what we signed up for.

00:00:41Not great.

00:00:42Not what we expected.

00:00:43No.

00:00:44No.

00:00:45And we're obviously referring to the season opener in Sunrise, Florida.

00:00:52Before we even get to that, there's some other things that we've got to catch up on,

00:00:54but man, just a little quick preview of that.

00:00:57That felt like a preseason game.

00:00:59That just did not feel like the season opener at all, and I don't know if that's because

00:01:03we were so plugged into the preseason and watching every game that it almost snuck up

00:01:08on us that, oh my god, the season's here and this is a real game and this is what they

00:01:11look like, but before we get to any of that, we haven't spoken to you guys since Jeremy

00:01:18Swayman signed an extension with the Boston Bruins.

00:01:24The show is brought to you by PrizePix, the exclusive daily fantasy partner of the CLNS

00:01:36Swayman.

00:01:37Swayman.

00:01:38Rob, the last time we talked, or two times ago, it was that there was absolutely no news,

00:01:47and then there was really bad news, and it looked really bad and really ugly, and we

00:01:53were like, there's a growing chance he does not sign here, and then he signed here, and

00:02:00then it was all over, and now he's here, and all is forgiven, all is forgotten, he's here.

00:02:06What a rollercoaster.

00:02:07My goodness.

00:02:08Yeah.

00:02:09I mean, I famously was on here being like, I'm not worried at all.

00:02:14It's fine.

00:02:15We're going to get a deal.

00:02:16It's not a big deal.

00:02:17It's fine.

00:02:18But after the 64 million reason comment from Nealey, and then more so, Louis Gross coming

00:02:25out and being like, what the fuck are you talking about?

00:02:28I've never heard of this number before.

00:02:31How dare you?

00:02:32We will respond to you next week.

00:02:35That was when it was like, oh, all right.

00:02:38This is bad.

00:02:39This is problematic.

00:02:40This might not end up well.

00:02:43The only thing kind of preventing me from going fully off the rails is people pointing

00:02:49out that logistically, a trade, it wasn't really possible.

00:02:55You would have to find a team that not only had the cap space to accommodate what he would

00:02:59have been asking for, but then also had the resources and the assets to trade for him

00:03:05as well.

00:03:06So they'd be paying for him twice.

00:03:09And then while the Bruins are still trying to compete in the Atlantic.

00:03:14So that eliminates a quarter of the league, because you're not trading him to somebody

00:03:18in the Atlantic.

00:03:20And then for Swayman, it would have meant he would have been going to a really shitty

00:03:23team because those are the types of teams that have the cap space.

00:03:28And you would be on a bottom dwelling team.

00:03:30There goes your cup chances, unless you plan on doing it yourself.

00:03:36I am stunned because of all of what you just said, and because of the circumstances that

00:03:42played out in front of us, that not only did he end up still signing here, but he signed

00:03:47for more than that $64 million price tag.

00:03:51That's crazy to me, because I really did believe, well, this is such an ugly look that I don't

00:03:59think another team steps in right now.

00:04:02That would be such a weird move to step in then, while things are just so tumultuous.

00:04:11And then I was like, okay, well, if he is staying here, then $64 million, that's a cap.

00:04:18That's the ceiling, and I don't think it gets touched either.

00:04:23Not the case.

00:04:24Not the case.

00:04:25That was stunning to me.

00:04:26Do you want to speculate on what the fuck happened there with the $64 million thing?

00:04:32Because that has just gone away.

00:04:34I haven't seen anybody really try to think of like, okay, well, how did this happen?

00:04:39Cam Neely did say the $64 million reasons.

00:04:42Lewis Gross did say that's not fucking true.

00:04:45And then they reached a deal.

00:04:47There was no time for people to figure out, well, what happened in the middle there?

00:04:52Who lied or deceived?

00:04:55Because the options are Cam Neely lied.

00:04:58That one seems unlikely for a bunch of reasons.

00:05:01One of them being the Bruins did give him more than $64 million.

00:05:05So him lying, I would say probably the least likely.

00:05:08Then there is the option where Lewis Gross lied, which is fucking crazy.

00:05:13I don't know how realistic that one is.

00:05:15From what we hear of Lewis Gross, it sounds like it's on the table.

00:05:19And option three, they said that and then offered $64 right after the presser.

00:05:29And that's why the wording in Lewis Gross' thing being like,

00:05:33we didn't hear that until the presser.

00:05:36But that's wicked shady, and that wouldn't really lead to a deal getting done or the

00:05:41Bruins upping their price.

00:05:42It's just I don't know what took place in the middle there.

00:05:46Yeah.

00:05:48I mean, based on some of the reports, the number was like 7.8 a year for eight years before

00:05:53the presser.

00:05:55So Neely could have been like, hey, we'll move up to 64.

00:05:58Like, Swayman's ask had been like nine, if not higher.

00:06:02And the Bruins offer originally was like in the sixes.

00:06:05And then they crept up closer to eight and eventually hit eight.

00:06:09And Swayman obviously eventually had to come down from nine million.

00:06:12So I think, well, first of all, Neely's comments.

00:06:15I think I remember seeing people being like, thinking that he just went rogue in saying

00:06:20that as if that wouldn't have been incredibly deliberate from the entire front office.

00:06:25Like, hey, one of the biggest things we need to do is establish that we're willing to pay

00:06:30him a very reasonable amount.

00:06:33And at the very least, it got the deal done.

00:06:36Like, it moved negotiations all the way to the end.

00:06:41Also have to include the fact that that 5 p.m.

00:06:43Cut off on Monday.

00:06:45Anytime after that, Swayman's salary starts affecting the cap even more so, and he gets

00:06:51paid even less.

00:06:52So huge incentives for both sides to get a deal done before that.

00:06:55On Friday, I was like, it's done this weekend.

00:06:57And then it was done the next morning or Saturday, rather.

00:07:02So very grateful that that happened.

00:07:06But again, like just such a whiplash from going like, we're fine to like 64 million

00:07:11reasons.

00:07:12I've never heard of that offer before.

00:07:1464 or 66 million.

00:07:16We're done.

00:07:17And I'm not so shocked that they moved just above the eight.

00:07:21It's not like, honestly, to me, that's nickel and diming, pocket change, whatever.

00:07:27Give them the extra 250K a year.

00:07:29It's fine.

00:07:33I don't know if that I'm surprised by it.

00:07:35I kind of thought that 64 had been like, that's a very reasonable cap to put on it.

00:07:40But I even tweeted saying, if you need to go up a little more to resolve this and go

00:07:48back to having one of the best goalies in your net for the next eight years, then just

00:07:52do it because his percentage cap, it is still not that crazy.

00:07:57And I guarantee over the next one to eight years, when the cap continues to increase,

00:08:04there will be conversations of, you know, after all, that's pretty crazy that we got

00:08:07swimming for only 8.25.

00:08:10So I think it's a very reasonable amount.

00:08:13I'm glad he got his bag.

00:08:14I'm glad it didn't bankrupt the Bruins.

00:08:16I'm glad it's over.

00:08:19And I'm very much looking forward to seeing him in net on Thursday against Montreal.

00:08:25I just can't believe it worked.

00:08:29The 64 million comment.

00:08:30Yeah.

00:08:31Yeah.

00:08:31It's crazy.

00:08:32It sets a wild precedent that teams can just get up in front of the media and be like,

00:08:36you want to know how much we're offering them?

00:08:38This greedy asshole, you want to know, huh?

00:08:42Because it worked.

00:08:43I thought there's no fucking chance it works.

00:08:45This is shady or not.

00:08:46Shady, just ugly.

00:08:48And it fucking worked.

00:08:50And it kind of immediately, not immediately, but now with the report that eager is rejected

00:08:57in eight year, $11 million a year contract.

00:09:01So, you know what?

00:09:02Maybe this Raymond thing wasn't so bad.

00:09:04Like Igor's Igor, like way more established than Swain is, but and arguably a better goaltender

00:09:10as well.

00:09:11But when I saw that, I was like, man, it could have been worse.

00:09:15Like rejecting an $88 million contract to be the highest paid goalie in the history

00:09:22of the National Hockey League.

00:09:24I never thought I'd say this.

00:09:25Thank you, New York, for taking the spotlight off Boston.

00:09:27Thank you, New York.

00:09:28Thank you, New York.

00:09:30I never want to say it again.

00:09:32One time was certainly enough.

00:09:33Plenty.

00:10:38Hey, Rob.

00:10:39Yep.

00:10:41Corp solo, huh?

00:10:45All right, I gotta I gotta say something.

00:10:48Hand up.

00:10:48What's up?

00:10:50He was not that bad.

00:10:52Yeah, he was.

00:10:53All right.

00:10:54Well, Montgomery disagrees.

00:10:56Most of the talking heads disagree.

00:10:58What is Montgomery going to say?

00:10:59He's not going to get up there and be like, holy shit.

00:11:01Did you see what he said?

00:11:03I did, but here let me pull it back up.

00:11:06All right, well, I got it right here.

00:11:07OK, Corpus solo was not a problem tonight.

00:11:11It was the people in front of him.

00:11:12You can't give up four backdoor tap ins and expect your goalie to make save after save.

00:11:16He made a lot of saves on breakaways.

00:11:20There was like at least one goal where I'm like, that's completely on Corpus solo.

00:11:26That being the Rodriguez goal, the one that it was just a rister from like the very high

00:11:30slot and it it was a nice shot, but Corpus solo just didn't play it well.

00:11:35That was the one right before he got run by Bennett, because of course he did.

00:11:41No, I mean, rebound control is not great.

00:11:44So that's horrible.

00:11:46That's a conversation to have.

00:11:47But I mean, he did make he Verhagen could have had a hat trick in the first 15 minutes,

00:11:54but he kept denying him like Corpus solo did have very good saves this game.

00:11:58Not a great start, obviously, not what you want, but I'm not in the camp of like this

00:12:05loss is on only on Corpus solo or even solely on Corpus solo.

00:12:11Largely, I mean, to say, I mean, six goals to six goals, like at the end of the day,

00:12:19like that's tough.

00:12:21But the defense, I was way more concerned with how bad the defense was.

00:12:27I was more concerned with how bad the defense looked that game than I was with how bad the

00:12:31goaltending looked.

00:12:34Lori, that was an atrocious game from Lori.

00:12:38I mean, listen, it's it's one of those factors is way more important just because one of them

00:12:45is you're starting players.

00:12:49One of them is not, you know, like, I understand that.

00:12:53And like, it's more important in the long run that people like Lori Carlo look better

00:12:59than they did in the opening game.

00:13:02Like you don't need Corpus solo to, you know, look like a starting goaltender because he's

00:13:07not going to be.

00:13:10But you hoped that like amidst this swim and getting back in the groove period of time

00:13:19that he can like keep you in games.

00:13:23And I'm trying to find the advanced stats here on his rebound control.

00:13:31Really?

00:13:35I don't even know what stat that would be.

00:13:38Yeah, well, there's all sorts of advanced metrics on like rebound control, but there

00:13:42was the eye test.

00:13:46Really bad.

00:13:47Really, really.

00:13:48Solo.

00:13:49Yes.

00:13:50And like, I understand quality chances, backdoor tap ins, whatever.

00:13:53But these weren't like two on ones where you go like, yeah, you know, that happens,

00:13:57whatever.

00:13:58So many instances where a puck hit him in the chest and he didn't know where it went.

00:14:03So many instances where like I've never really seen an NHL goalie just not know where their

00:14:10own rebound went.

00:14:11Yeah, like let alone control it.

00:14:13Yeah, that's not even control.

00:14:14It's just rebound tracking and setting.

00:14:17And like, that's I it's hard to put the loss totally on him by any means, especially because

00:14:25I mean, look, it's Florida.

00:14:26It's Florida.

00:14:27You know, you didn't come into sunrise.

00:14:29Yeah, you didn't come in being like, well, you know, chalk it up as a win before you

00:14:34get there.

00:14:34It's fucking Florida.

00:14:36But my God, I was expecting more Stanley Cup champion as they're coming off the high of

00:14:40raising their banner.

00:14:42The last time we played a band raising team, we lost seven to nothing in twenty eighteen

00:14:47against Washington.

00:14:51So what I can tell you is off of this one game, the expected goals against was three

00:14:57point one and he allowed he allowed six in the expected goals against.

00:15:02For those who don't know, they calculate that based on the quality of chances, shot locations,

00:15:10shooting percentages from those areas, whatever.

00:15:15It doesn't really matter.

00:15:17We don't need to sit here and pick apart the backup goaltender.

00:15:19But that was it was it was for me the biggest thing that I couldn't ignore.

00:15:24And I was telling myself as I'm watching and listening, I listened on the radio a little

00:15:28bit like I was telling myself, like, this doesn't matter.

00:15:32Like, let's focus on everyone else here.

00:15:36And I just couldn't.

00:15:37I just couldn't.

00:15:38It was it was the prevailing takeaway for me.

00:15:41But again, more important things to focus on the defense, the defense that we brought

00:15:48up Mason Lori.

00:15:54He was minus four at one point.

00:15:55He ended the night minus three.

00:15:58He looked very timid when he had the puck.

00:16:02He wasn't like his for clearly a former forward self in the offensive zone, just soft on the

00:16:11puck, got run over a few times when he was carrying the puck, just and it's game one.

00:16:19And it's like we know this with Lori.

00:16:21It's not like, you know, six years from now, assuming that like his he starts to reach

00:16:28the ceiling a bit more.

00:16:29And we're like, wow.

00:16:30It's like if McAvoy came out and just like had a minus five on the first night, like

00:16:35there's still a lot of growing pains left for Lori to go through.

00:16:39And yes, they played seven preseason games.

00:16:41I don't know how much of them Lori played, but like the preseason, it's like you would

00:16:46think that it's like that's when you get all like the rust off.

00:16:49It's like, no, because like they know it doesn't like really matter.

00:16:55So like until it does, like, I think that's a whole another layer of rust you need to

00:16:59get off.

00:17:00So it's game one.

00:17:01I'm not freaking out about it.

00:17:04They ended at six to four, like they may.

00:17:07It's so doesn't matter to me at all.

00:17:10That's what I know you were saying.

00:17:11I know you're saying that makes you feel better.

00:17:13Why?

00:17:14It doesn't matter.

00:17:16I just, you know, pad statin, I guess, like I'm glad Freddie got on the board.

00:17:21It's, you know, good.

00:17:22See, possibly got one.

00:17:25I don't know.

00:17:25It's just it's they got worked like no matter what you look at it like they.

00:17:30So handedly lost that game.

00:17:33Like and it is kind of vintage Boston to like, what if we tried in the last three minutes

00:17:38and it's like you're allowed to do that in the first 57, by the way.

00:17:43Yeah, so not great.

00:17:45But yeah, it's crazy.

00:17:49This game even really happened.

00:17:50Ultimately, it was clearly fine.

00:17:53But, you know, I don't know if you heard a bit of a storm coming through Florida.

00:17:57So yeah, yeah, kind of insane.

00:18:01Yeah, you texted me.

00:18:03I think yesterday be like, you ever think about how the Bruins are just in Florida right now?

00:18:07Without the entire Bruins team on the path of a category five hurricane, a hurricane

00:18:12reaching this, like the physical limit that a hurricane can reach.

00:18:16And they're like, no, we're good.

00:18:18And we got it is on the way.

00:18:20And they're like, you know, we'll leave in the morning if we have our own plane.

00:18:24It will be fine.

00:18:25Okay, I think I mean, they're out of Florida now.

00:18:28Yeah, they were probably gone last night.

00:18:31Yeah, they're not sticking around.

00:18:33They got on the plane in their gear.

00:18:35They did cancel the Tampa game, though, right?

00:18:38Yes, they will.

00:18:38Tampa was like, it's way more in the path because the hurricane's hitting the west

00:18:43side of Florida.

00:18:43And that's exactly where Tampa is.

00:18:45Yeah, where a sunrise is on the east side.

00:18:49I know so much about the geography of Florida.

00:18:51Now you can ask people.

00:18:52Yeah, people call Miami the east side of Florida.

00:18:55That's what it is.

00:18:58East side Miami stand up.

00:19:00Well, I know that Miami or Sunrise and Tampa are near each other because we've

00:19:06looked at doing those two games before.

00:19:09It's like four and a half hours away.

00:19:10Like, that's crazy.

00:19:13It was when I plugged in the distance on Google Maps.

00:19:15Google Maps is like, yeah, don't drive to Tampa right now.

00:19:18Like, there's so many reasons not to be in Tampa.

00:19:22Did it actually stop you?

00:19:23Was it like, hey, seriously, don't go that way.

00:19:25It was like, hey, major flood warnings, which I'm like, that's an interesting

00:19:29creative way of telling me that there's going to be 15 feet of water.

00:19:34Yeah, have you?

00:19:35I guess it is.

00:19:37Have you seen Lieutenant Dan on the Internet?

00:19:40Have you seen him?

00:19:41Oh, I was literally just watching the video.

00:19:43He's like, yeah, it doesn't matter to me.

00:19:44Boat's not going anywhere.

00:19:46Yeah, water goes up.

00:19:47Boat goes up.

00:19:48I'm in the boat.

00:19:49A rising tide will not sink me because I'm on a boat.

00:19:54All the TikTok comments are like all jokes aside.

00:19:58Rest in peace, Lieutenant Dan.

00:20:01Yeah, I don't know the people.

00:20:03Listen, if you guys are listening to this in the greater Tampa area, I don't know why

00:20:07you're listening, but thanks, I guess.

00:20:10Don't be there.

00:20:11Don't be there.

00:20:13Weathermen are crying on TV about what's going to happen to you guys.

00:20:16Get out of there.

00:20:18Not to get too political here, but it is crazy that so many people were like, I have no money.

00:20:23I can't go anywhere.

00:20:25Like, I can't drive anywhere.

00:20:27I have no money to go anywhere.

00:20:29Where am I going to go?

00:20:30And it's like, yeah, that's a good point.

00:20:32Yeah, yeah, I guess.

00:20:33Just go down with the ship, I guess.

00:20:36Power to you.

00:20:37If somebody just told me, like, just leave my home, I'd be like, yeah, it would be like,

00:20:40where do I go?

00:20:41I don't have family in Pennsylvania.

00:20:43Like, I can't get away from the East Coast.

00:20:45I don't have a helicopter.

00:20:47Yeah, Mom, what are you going to do?

00:20:49What are you going to do?

00:20:52Others go back to the game.

00:20:54Like, all right, I hate Florida so much, man.

00:21:00I really do.

00:21:01Who made us play Florida game one?

00:21:04Who did?

00:21:04You're a hoe.

00:21:05Fuck you.

00:21:06You kidding me?

00:21:07Game one.

00:21:12I can't have anything.

00:21:13I might have tuned in late.

00:21:14Did they do the banner raising ceremony?

00:21:16Because I saw it up.

00:21:17They did.

00:21:18They did.

00:21:19Okay.

00:21:19Because I saw it up, but I must have missed the ceremony then.

00:21:23And then my dad was like, they canceled it.

00:21:25I was like, what do you mean?

00:21:26They cancel something with the rings, I think, but they were supposed to do something with

00:21:29the rings, but that was canceled.

00:21:31But they absolutely raised the banner.

00:21:33The Bruins did not go out for it.

00:21:34They stayed in the locker room because obviously.

00:21:37Sure.

00:21:38Pretty funny.

00:21:39AJ Greer and Jesper Jesper Boquist just, like, standing there watching the banner go up being

00:21:46glad we could help.

00:21:49Also, real quick.

00:21:49Greer on Florida was weird.

00:21:51But yeah, that makes sense that he's that.

00:21:53Yeah, it felt weird until he dropped the gloves.

00:21:58And then I was like, oh, right.

00:22:00Yeah, that's who you are.

00:22:01He first of all, also handled cast like to sorry.

00:22:05Go ahead.

00:22:06I did.

00:22:06Yeah, I was just going to say props to cast like just getting in there.

00:22:10Yeah.

00:22:11Oh, that's all you're going to get from him.

00:22:13Or not all.

00:22:13But that is what you will get from our cast like this year.

00:22:16Yeah.

00:22:16He's going to be your, like, first guy in.

00:22:19But he's just a new Derek Forbert.

00:22:23Derek Forbert was weirdly our enforcer last year.

00:22:26I don't remember that.

00:22:26But he already did it in Vancouver.

00:22:28He's already doing it.

00:22:29He jumped in.

00:22:30It was, like, game one.

00:22:31Or actually, it might have been a preseason game.

00:22:34But yeah, people are saying it on the streets.

00:22:35Mark Haslick is the new Derek Forbert.

00:22:38People are saying it.

00:22:40But yeah, but he got Greer yanked him.

00:22:44And he looked like his whole body left the ice.

00:22:46Like, he was airborne.

00:22:49And cast looks tough, too.

00:22:51But obviously, we know Greer is, too.

00:22:54But yeah.

00:22:55But no, definitely raised the banner.

00:22:56That definitely happened.

00:22:58Speaking of fights.

00:22:59Yes.

00:23:00Would be remiss if we did not talk about Trent Frederick and his childhood friend,

00:23:04Matthew Kachuk.

00:23:07Trouble in Paradise, brother?

00:23:09Perhaps.

00:23:10We know that they're buds.

00:23:11But what?

00:23:13Yep.

00:23:14Rob was listening to Morning Brew.

00:23:17We're in.

00:23:17Billy had an interesting comment where he said that he had been talking to Freddie

00:23:22and was talking about Kachuk.

00:23:24And it was like, yeah, you'll see your buddy.

00:23:26And Frederick was like, I'm not buddies with that guy.

00:23:31And this was before the game.

00:23:33Yeah.

00:23:35Wow.

00:23:36And that, like, you know, you could say it's like the competitive,

00:23:39like there's no friends out on the ice.

00:23:41But like, at least with, like, the secondhand demeanor that Billy was saying it like it

00:23:45didn't.

00:23:46It sounded like, no, I'm not friends with him.

00:23:50I mean, of all the insults to throw at, like, a buddy, not like an insult.

00:23:55I don't know all the trash talking to do to a buddy saying I'm not friends with you.

00:24:00Well, no, I was going to say what Freddie said after the game where he said, you know,

00:24:04asking me to drop the gloves and then not doing it disrespectful to the game.

00:24:08I think that's that's a pretty deep shot for, you know, pro to pro to accuse somebody

00:24:15of disrespect for the game.

00:24:16That's kind of that's kind of serious.

00:24:18No, I don't think a lot of the responses to that have been either.

00:24:23It's good, Chuck.

00:24:24What do you expect?

00:24:26Sure.

00:24:26And also, that is a very common tactic in the NHL is to bait somebody into dropping

00:24:32their gloves while not dropping your own.

00:24:35Maybe Freddie just wanted to say some shit about Kachuk.

00:24:37Have we thought about that?

00:24:38I figured, yeah, he just wanted to be like, yeah, he did this.

00:24:41Fuck him.

00:24:42That's some shit behavior, though.

00:24:44That is some like from a dude that like a chocolate.

00:24:48They're like, I'm a power forward.

00:24:50I don't know.

00:24:50I said like that.

00:24:51He is a power forward.

00:24:52I'm a power.

00:24:53Oh, I'm mighty mad.

00:24:56But for a guy like that to like pull shit like that, it's like I know he's fucking scum

00:25:00out on the ice, but I hate that shit.

00:25:03I hate that shit so much.

00:25:04Like if you're such a fake tough guy to like.

00:25:08Not engage until the rep is involved, and then he's like the most involved.

00:25:12Well, he'll fight David Pasternak.

00:25:14He sure will.

00:25:15He almost did again.

00:25:17Yeah, I hate that chicken shit stuff, but that's like what fuels me during the playoffs.

00:25:22Like, I'm glad Matthew Kachuk exists like I like that.

00:25:27I have a villain, an enemy, like a villain output to put my hate energy into.

00:25:34But like, save it, save it.

00:25:37I like it.

00:25:38Yeah, tantalize me a little bit.

00:25:40But like now I want to play again.

00:25:42You know, now I'm like, oh, when's game two?

00:25:43There is no game two.

00:25:45It's not.

00:25:45We're not in the playoffs.

00:25:47There is a game two.

00:25:48You know what I mean?

00:25:48It's not a not a seven game series against against Florida.

00:25:52There was one point in the game, and I think I have a clip of it somewhere where it was

00:25:57like in front of the net or behind the net, and it was like a post whistle scrum and Kachuk

00:26:02is involved.

00:26:03Obviously, it was when Frederick was going after him, and it was like one of those like

00:26:09the refs have been involved at this point, and Frederick was still tearing through people

00:26:14trying to grab and get at Kachuk like clearly still like I don't like I'm not letting this

00:26:20die down naturally.

00:26:21Like, I'm still going after you and Kachuk did this like he like looked at the camera

00:26:28and did the like get a load of this guy like fake laugh and like shaking his head, and

00:26:34I wanted to choke the life out of him.

00:26:37It he rises in anger out of me that I didn't know existed.

00:26:44I cannot stand him.

00:26:47Cannot stand him, which, you know, credit to the NHL Faceoff show for making me like

00:26:52him during the show because him and Brady and Keith that that's a funny trio.

00:26:57That's good stuff.

00:26:57And we'll talk.

00:26:58We'll talk.

00:26:58Yeah, we'll get into that right now.

00:27:00I hate him.

00:27:02Oh, my speaking of look on his face.

00:27:04I went into a blind rage.

00:27:09Yes, speaking of post whistle scrums.

00:27:16Max Jones.

00:27:18Max Jones.

00:27:19What happened with him?

00:27:22He hit a referee.

00:27:24Oh, yeah.

00:27:24Well, what are you going to do?

00:27:25He's likely facing a suspension in there.

00:27:28No, he's not.

00:27:30No, he's not.

00:27:31He's absolutely not getting suspended for that.

00:27:35A suspension appears likely after Max Jones slashes referee.

00:27:41That's from Maple Leafs daily.

00:27:43Oh, yeah.

00:27:45Yard Barker.

00:27:47No, he got it.

00:27:49All right.

00:27:49If he got a two minute unsportsmanlike.

00:27:53That is because they have to call something.

00:27:57Clearly, it was accidental.

00:27:59Immediately goes around like shit, like, sorry, like the ref or the linesman, like, ran in

00:28:04to, like, you know, get in between them.

00:28:08Rolls reverse.

00:28:09I really hope I would have, like, the mental wherewithal to be like, no, like the Panther

00:28:14clearly did not mean to do that.

00:28:17Like, it's not like when Dennis Wideman, like, bodied that ref into the boards, although

00:28:22I still think he was concussed when that happened.

00:28:25No, Max Jones is definitely not getting suspended for that, or he should not be.

00:28:29I really do not think you get a two minute minor for slashing a linesman, and then they

00:28:36turn around is to spend you for it.

00:28:38They're going to spend them.

00:28:39That would have been a major, and he would have been kicked out.

00:28:43It is funny how fast that diffused the situation, though, you know, although all the, you know,

00:28:49jarring and jabbing and this and that.

00:28:51And then, oh, shit.

00:28:53I'm sorry.

00:28:55I'm sorry.

00:28:56It's like when you get to fuck.

00:28:57Yeah, you get, like, too rough with, like, your sibling or something and like somebody

00:29:01like you think you actually hear them.

00:29:03You're like, oh, no.

00:29:04Like, it just shatters.

00:29:05You're okay.

00:29:06You're okay.

00:29:07You hit him with the eye of the teddy bear.

00:29:09You're like, oh, shit.

00:29:10Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:29:11I didn't mean to do that.

00:29:12Yeah, the zipper of the pillow.

00:29:14Yeah, yeah.

00:29:15No, it's, you know, whatever.

00:29:18And people were like, is Jones our new scapegoat?

00:29:20Because so many people in our replies being like, why is Max Jones on this team?

00:29:25Like, I don't know.

00:29:26He's not that bad.

00:29:28Who cares?

00:29:28They didn't ask me.

00:29:30It feels weird that we have cast like and Jones.

00:29:33Yeah.

00:29:33Also, I got to talk about this at some point.

00:29:37I feel insane because I have no clue why Riley Tufte is on this roster.

00:29:43I know he's going to be scratched a lot.

00:29:46He did not have a good preseason.

00:29:48Am I wrong?

00:29:49Like, nobody's talking about it.

00:29:50Like, nobody was like, you know, pretty good preseason.

00:29:53Good showing.

00:29:54But at the same time, no one's really talking negatively about it.

00:29:57But like, my eye test was like, I didn't like his play at all.

00:30:00He was fighting the puck the whole time.

00:30:02Like, he's got a good reach and he knows how to use it.

00:30:04But like, out of all the guys on that training camp roster, like, I am shocked.

00:30:09He made the opening night roster or the final roster.

00:30:13I just wanted to throw that in there.

00:30:15I just feel very confused as to why Riley Tufte is on this roster.

00:30:18It's the left handed shot.

00:30:20Maybe that probably helped his case.

00:30:23He's so fucking tall.

00:30:25He's a big boy.

00:30:26I don't know.

00:30:27They just want to be fucking huge.

00:30:28That's all the Bruins care about right now.

00:30:30They want to be big.

00:30:32Yeah.

00:30:35Do you want to?

00:30:36Is that all you got on the game?

00:30:37No, I got a few other little things like.

00:30:39Sure.

00:30:40Hit me.

00:30:40I really like Frederick's game, and I really think this is going to be a career year for Trent.

00:30:46Frederick.

00:30:47I think you're going to get a lot out of him this year.

00:30:50I like a big time.

00:30:53I think if he and Braz can continue playing together and they keep up their chemistry,

00:30:58I think they're a very dangerous pairing.

00:31:03Braz almost had a goal.

00:31:04It was he did like the wraparound, but Rodriguez's stick got in the way in the end.

00:31:08Rodriguez's stick got in the way and saved the goal.

00:31:13Elias Lindholm.

00:31:14Okay.

00:31:15Start has his first point.

00:31:16Had an assist on.

00:31:18I believe it's on Zaka's goal, which was Vincent Zaka.

00:31:21What a shot.

00:31:22Dude's got a fucking missile for a shot.

00:31:26And Braz had the assist on Frederick's goal again.

00:31:29Garbage time.

00:31:30Still happy for Frederick.

00:31:31It'll be.

00:31:32It's good.

00:31:33Good to see.

00:31:34Pasternak kind of a quiet night.

00:31:36Pretty quiet night from David Pasternak.

00:31:38Five shots.

00:31:39That's typical.

00:31:41He at one point, he was like on the boards at the blue line, the offensive blue line,

00:31:46and did like a spinner Rama pass cross ice to the other side of the net to Morgan.

00:31:52Geeky was only a few feet in front of it, and geeky ripped it and hit the post.

00:31:56But it's like one of those passes from Pasternak, where he will attempt that 50 times.

00:32:00And that one time it threaded through everybody right to geeky.

00:32:05But, man, does it look good when it works?

00:32:08And fuck Sam Bennett, too.

00:32:10Also, not just Mac.

00:32:11Sure.

00:32:12Oh, my God.

00:32:13So many.

00:32:14Who was it?

00:32:14Somebody hit Martian in the side of the head again.

00:32:17Yeah.

00:32:18Yep.

00:32:19Sure did.

00:32:19Stop doing that, please.

00:32:23It might have been for Haiti.

00:32:24I have a clip of it somewhere.

00:32:25Might have been.

00:32:25Yeah, it was.

00:32:27It was Lindell.

00:32:28That was Lindell.

00:32:30And he's not.

00:32:31He's clearly trying to hit him with a stick.

00:32:33It looks like he's trying to do that swim over him move.

00:32:36But to me, on the replay, there's not a genuine effort to get that stick over Martian's head.

00:32:43He's trying to hit Martian with that stick.

00:32:45Repeat offender kind of deal, just in terms of the laundry.

00:32:50Yeah.

00:32:51Yeah.

00:32:52But no, Sam Bennett.

00:32:53Fuck Sam Bennett.

00:32:55If he had a hat trick, I was going to be very upset.

00:32:58I ran into Corpus Aulo, which I don't like.

00:33:05They're like, oh, Carlos pushing me.

00:33:06Ran out of real estate.

00:33:07I'm like, he's just skating straight at Corpus Aulo.

00:33:10Not looking at him like that.

00:33:11Of course, he's going to hit him.

00:33:14Really thought we were going to see Swayman after that.

00:33:16Well, I really thought we were going to see Swayman in the second period when you give

00:33:19up four goals in the first period.

00:33:22Joe, you have a question.

00:33:23I have a question.

00:33:25The fans were chanting.

00:33:28We want Swayman.

00:33:29Was that Panthers fans?

00:33:30Was that Bruins fans?

00:33:33It could go either way, right?

00:33:34I think it seemed like we were in agreement.

00:33:37Yeah.

00:33:37If anything in the moment, because I thought it was Bruins fans when I heard it.

00:33:41And then people were like, oh, wow.

00:33:43They're really getting confident here.

00:33:45It's like, oh, are they saying like, oh, we want to beat Swayman too?

00:33:50Yeah, because I thought it was Bruins fans being like, put in

00:33:53fucking Swayman, please.

00:33:56I definitely in the moment was like that is Panthers fans.

00:33:59Just, you know, giving it to Corpus Aulo being like, you suck.

00:34:03Give us your other goaltender so we can beat him too.

00:34:06But it also works with the Bruins angle.

00:34:08We're like, if that game is at TD Garden in the exact same circumstances, you probably

00:34:15hear we want Swayman chant started.

00:34:17Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

00:34:19Probably much louder.

00:34:21Yeah, yeah.

00:34:22If anything, I'm at that game and Panthers fans are chanting.

00:34:25I join in.

00:34:26I want Swayman too.

00:34:29We're all in agreement.

00:34:30We are all in agreement.

00:34:31We got some other headlines.

00:34:32Unless you still got game stuff.

00:34:34You're done on game stuff.

00:34:35You got other game stuff.

00:34:38Like during the game or about the game in general?

00:34:42About the game.

00:34:43Yeah.

00:34:46Montgomery's interview after the game.

00:34:48One of the first questions or one of the first comments from a reporter was.

00:34:52The juice didn't seem to be there.

00:34:56I can't do another year.

00:34:57The juice talk.

00:34:57I can't do it.

00:34:59I think, dude, I'm going up to people and being like, are you sponsored by Welch's?

00:35:05Like, what is going on?

00:35:07Like, it's like how there's commercials just for chocolate milk.

00:35:10It's just chocolate milk, not a specific dairy company.

00:35:14Is it the same thing?

00:35:16Are you sponsored by the concept of juice?

00:35:19I Monty has latched onto the juice.

00:35:22There's no doubt about that.

00:35:23He is firmly in the juice camp.

00:35:25Well, he didn't even say it.

00:35:27Somebody asked him about it.

00:35:28Well, still, there's so much.

00:35:30They brought it up, though.

00:35:31They were like, hey, Monty.

00:35:32So about the juice question.

00:35:34We know you want to talk about the juice.

00:35:36So how about we ask you about the juice?

00:35:38Yeah, it's my number one question when I get in there.

00:35:42What's up with the juice?

00:35:43What's going on with that juice?

00:35:45Also, the defense that game had 11 giveaways combined.

00:35:49Every one of the D-men had at least one giveaway.

00:35:53So that's fun.

00:35:55That's a good time.

00:35:57Carlo and Lindholm had three.

00:35:59Zdorov had six hits, as did Mark Kastlik.

00:36:04Zdorov was fine.

00:36:06Not like, damn, wow, he's here.

00:36:11Would have been crazy to have a game like that.

00:36:14You know, I think game here.

00:36:15I think at the garden, he'll be a bit more inclined to, like, blow somebody up.

00:36:21I'm really hoping so.

00:36:24Peak look good.

00:36:25I think also IP continues to be like one of those.

00:36:28Wow, that's you're much better than we thought you were going to be.

00:36:33Yeah, and you have to remember his expectations.

00:36:35I think to appreciate Andrew Peake.

00:36:37Did you see the guy in her replies talking about McAvoy?

00:36:41No, he was like, I hate this motherfucker.

00:36:43He's fucking sucks.

00:36:45Like, people think he's Bobby or like, I was like, I wanted to be like, okay, dude.

00:36:50But like, I didn't even want to engage with him.

00:36:52And then he kept replying to himself being like, fuck McAvoy.

00:36:56What?

00:36:57I don't know.

00:36:58Of all the D-men to take your frustration out right now.

00:37:01But cool.

00:37:02Just Charlie McAvoy is not the best D-man in the league.

00:37:04It's fine.

00:37:05Yeah, there's certainly a time to get frustrated with Charlie McAvoy.

00:37:09Oh, there's many times.

00:37:11Yeah, not right now.

00:37:13No, no, no, no.

00:37:15Also, they were outshot 14 to one in the first period.

00:37:18So yeah, you might go down four to one if that happens.

00:37:21Yeah, it went one for one.

00:37:23That's something.

00:37:25It's definitely something.

00:37:27It's not.

00:37:28We've got some other headlines to get to some other stuff around the league,

00:37:31some other stuff to talk about.

00:37:32But first, if you want to get your ass to TD Garden, you want to see the Bruins

00:37:39open their season in Boston against the Montreal Canadiens.

00:37:45Choose game time, would you?

00:37:47Game time is the best place to buy tickets online to sports, concerts,

00:37:50all your favorite events.

00:37:51If you listen to the show, you know a couple of years ago,

00:37:53I went to the Superdome for the first time.

00:37:56That was my first NFL game.

00:37:57And let me tell you, I got the bug.

00:37:59I'm going to be going to NFL games as much as I can this year.

00:38:02And I'm going to be using the Game Time app.

00:38:05Game Time has a new feature called Game Time Picks

00:38:07that makes getting tickets to see your favorite teams play live even easier.

00:38:11Game Time Picks filters out the fluff to show you only the incredible deals on great seeds.

00:38:16So you don't have to waste time searching through thousands of tickets.

00:38:20And they've got this new super deal that lets you know just how good these tickets are.

00:38:24You'll see that they got good deals.

00:38:26They got OK deals.

00:38:27The new super tier.

00:38:29It's the best of the best.

00:38:31So keep your eyes peeled for that.

00:38:32And if you have heard me talk about game time before, which I'm sure you have,

00:38:36you know that I love you get to see your seat in the app before you buy.

00:38:41You get a panoramic view.

00:38:42There's no question.

00:38:43Oh, am I going to be able to see this?

00:38:44Am I going to see that?

00:38:45Which end am I going to be closer?

00:38:46And you can put on a VR headset and feel like you're already there.

00:39:09We got a new segment.

00:39:11I think maybe we're going to try it.

00:39:16Actually, you know what?

00:39:17Before we get to the new segment, we should do some season predictions because we were

00:39:22going to do that before the season started.

00:39:25Now we have a leg up.

00:39:26We know that they lose at least one game in regulation.

00:39:29So that is cheating a little bit.

00:39:31I'm changing my prediction at 81 and one.

00:39:33That's the only difference here.

00:39:36I have a record prediction.

00:39:40Hit me.

00:39:41And I want to give it to you.

00:39:43Hit me.

00:39:4749.

00:39:49Okay.

00:39:502211.

00:39:5249, 2211.

00:39:54Okay.

00:39:54It's 109 points first in the Atlantic.

00:40:01Okay.

00:40:03That's more optimistic than mine.

00:40:06Okay.

00:40:07Not by much.

00:40:09I'm thinking low 40s for the wins.

00:40:13I have them.

00:40:14I don't know that they break 100 points this season.

00:40:17I think they're either breaking it or right at it.

00:40:20I have them at 44, 25, and 5.

00:40:27I'm of the mindset this year that more so than ever, I really don't care about

00:40:32the positioning.

00:40:33I just get in the playoffs because I feel that they are physically built for the playoffs

00:40:39more so than anything.

00:40:40So as long as you're in, I'm cool.

00:40:44I just think there's going to be some growing pains.

00:40:47I think it's going to take a bit of time to get Lindholm acclimated.

00:40:51I think it's going to take a little bit of time to get Zdorov into the Montgomery system.

00:40:56It's so easy to say this after last night, but I think Corpocello will not be fantastic

00:41:04this year.

00:41:04I think he'll be a serviceable backup, but I think losing out on having two starting

00:41:11goaltenders is going to have more of an effect on the record than we're expecting.

00:41:18So we're not too far off like that.

00:41:19Sure.

00:41:20Yeah.

00:41:20So we're not too far off.

00:41:22Next thing I have.

00:41:23Wait, my record didn't make sense.

00:41:28You short?

00:41:28Yeah, I'm short.

00:41:29Hold on.

00:41:30I'm sorry.

00:41:30Adjust it.

00:41:31Adjust it because we're going to come back to these.

00:41:32Yeah.

00:41:33Hold on.

00:41:33I'm not even close.

00:41:33What the fuck?

00:41:34Yeah, we'll come back.

00:41:37Let's do some math.

00:41:38Add them up.

00:41:40Add them up.

00:41:41All right.

00:41:41Well, 44, 69, 13.

00:41:44Jesus.

00:41:44H 44, 25, 13.

00:41:46That's all by eight games.

00:41:48Okay.

00:41:48Yeah, I wasn't even close.

00:41:5145 and 13 is 103 points.

00:41:55So you do have them cracking 100 points.

00:41:57Okay.

00:41:57Well, I said around.

00:41:57Which is it?

00:41:59Which is it?

00:42:00I don't know.

00:42:00They'll be all right.

00:42:01David Poster knock.

00:42:02How many goals?

00:42:03I have them at 51.

00:42:05See, this one's really hard for me because I think it's really dependent on how Elias

00:42:09Lindholm does.

00:42:13That's why I'm not sure.

00:42:14I'm not sure.

00:42:15I'm not sure.

00:42:16I'm not sure.

00:42:17I'm not sure.

00:42:17That's why I have him so high.

00:42:19Yeah.

00:42:20What's yours again?

00:42:2151.

00:42:22You know what?

00:42:23I like that.

00:42:24Yeah, I could hear.

00:42:25I could.

00:42:26I think conservatively 40 conservatively, but I can see him breaking 50.

00:42:32I don't know.

00:42:33I don't think he hit 60.

00:42:36Give a number.

00:42:36You can't give a 20 goal window.

00:42:39Somewhere between zero and 100.

00:42:41Yeah, give a number.

00:42:4347.

00:42:4447 goals.

00:42:4547.

00:42:4660 assists.

00:42:47Because we have $10,000 on the line between you and I.

00:42:51We do.

00:42:52Who gets these right?

00:42:53Yes.

00:42:5447 goals.

00:42:5560 assists.

00:42:56107 points.

00:42:59Jeremy Swayman's season goals against average.

00:43:05I have.

00:43:06Actually, I want you to go first.

00:43:09199.

00:43:12Holy shit.

00:43:13Is that what yours is?

00:43:14No.

00:43:15What's yours?

00:43:16That's crazy.

00:43:17199.

00:43:19I have him at 265.

00:43:21I'm optimistic.

00:43:22I think he's going to put on.

00:43:23I think he's having a Vesna campaign.

00:43:25I don't know that he wins it, but I think.

00:43:27With a 199, he doesn't win it.

00:43:30There's a lot of really good goaltenders in the league right now.

00:43:36Am I doing that thing where I completely forget what stats look like league wide?

00:43:40Yeah.

00:43:42Yeah, you are.

00:43:43What was the 203 was the best?

00:43:46Okay.

00:43:47I'm being too optimistic here.

00:43:48Yeah, 210, 210, 210, 210.

00:43:56Yeah, 210, 913.

00:44:02Say percentage.

00:44:05I mean, the real the real highest was, I guess, 233.

00:44:13I will just blank it.

00:44:14Not to get bogged down in numbers.

00:44:16I think he's going to put up a Vesna campaign.

00:44:18I think he will consistently be a top five goalie this year,

00:44:22and I think he will spend most of the year as top two, if not the best.

00:44:29I think he's going to have a crazy good year.

00:44:3222, 23, Linus Olmark.

00:44:37189.

00:44:38See, 199 is not insane.

00:44:41I mean, that year's numbers were bananas.

00:44:44A 938.

00:44:46What the fuck?

00:44:47I know this way.

00:44:48Man had a 227 that year.

00:44:49We had another number one and number four goaltenders.

00:44:52One home, man.

00:44:52I can't believe we wanted all that year.

00:44:54That was such a sweet.

00:44:55I can't believe we won the first round of the playoffs that year.

00:44:58That was such a sweet first round win.

00:45:00I can't believe we didn't give up a three one seriously that year, man.

00:45:03I love living in reality.

00:45:05The other thing last season prediction.

00:45:08Marsh hands point total.

00:45:10I'm little bear ish on this one.

00:45:16I don't think he's going to have a very good year.

00:45:19We'll have a good year, but not a Brad Marsh and year.

00:45:23I think it's going to be a little tough.

00:45:26I think this is going to be the year.

00:45:27We're like, oh, Brad's getting up there.

00:45:31Will you go first?

00:45:32Because I don't want to say a wrong number again.

00:45:36I have him uptick in a bit to 82.

00:45:40That's optimistic.

00:45:42It is optimistic.

00:45:44I think it's like 65 points.

00:45:4766.

00:45:48That's pretty much where he was last year.

00:45:50Last year at 67.

00:45:51I just put his age, the surgeries.

00:45:54I just honestly, so much of their successes here.

00:46:00I think it's going to hinge on the power play to not like all of it.

00:46:04Not like all of it, obviously.

00:46:06But if they go another season without having a consistent power play,

00:46:11it doesn't have to be like top five.

00:46:13But without having a piss poor power play, it's going to be bad.

00:46:21Their zone entries and power players are still awful.

00:46:23They just cannot get set up and to watch a team like Florida immediately get the zone

00:46:28and immediately set up and just so easily pass it around.

00:46:32I'm like, why can't we do that?

00:46:33That would be great.

00:46:36I think he's going to be like 2440 64 as of right now.

00:46:42By the way, this is just worth mentioning because it's just chalk.

00:46:48As of recording, the NHL point leader is.

00:46:54Is take a wild guess.

00:46:57It's definitely a devil's player.

00:46:59Oh, no, isn't it?

00:47:01Is it?

00:47:02Is it Sam Bennett?

00:47:04It is just like everybody guessed.

00:47:06It is Paul Cotter, a man I know well.

00:47:13Everyone's favorite New Jersey devil.

00:47:16To be fair, he is tied.

00:47:18No, he's not.

00:47:19Yes, he is.

00:47:20Oh, I'm sorry.

00:47:21I'm looking at goals, not points.

00:47:23You're wrong.

00:47:26Three points.

00:47:27Paul Cotter.

00:47:28Look out there.

00:47:32On pace for 124 points.

00:47:39123.

00:47:41What a campaign.

00:47:43It's going to be a hell of a year.

00:47:44My microphone smells.

00:47:46All right.

00:47:46That's what we got for season predictions.

00:47:50Now to the new segment clear, clear in the bench.

00:47:52Bench clearing.

00:47:53Is that crazy?

00:47:55I don't know.

00:47:56Something like that.

00:47:57I don't know if that's what we're going to call it.

00:47:58Something like that.

00:47:59Just some other headlines from across the league.

00:48:01We do this anyway.

00:48:02We're just trying to name it.

00:48:03I don't know.

00:48:03We don't have to name it.

00:48:04It was a stupid idea.

00:48:05I shouldn't have said anything.

00:48:06Utah.

00:48:07Shut the fuck up.

00:48:07All right.

00:48:08Yeah, I'll shut up.

00:48:09I'm sorry.

00:48:09I'm just trying to have a little bit of fun on this show, and that's my bad.

00:48:12That's not what we do here.

00:48:13Sorry.

00:48:14Utah played their first home game, and that's interesting.

00:48:17Yeah.

00:48:18Fans looked confused at what was going on on the ice.

00:48:23The team did not look confused.

00:48:25Team looked pretty good.

00:48:26They did play Chicago, so take it for what it is, but the team looked pretty good.

00:48:32Uniforms on the ice looked pretty good.

00:48:35Very Winnipeg.

00:48:37Yeah.

00:48:40Is this Winnipeg?

00:48:42Yeah.

00:48:42They got to change.

00:48:43I mean, listen, they need an identity.

00:48:44They literally do not have an identity.

00:48:46And the thing is, it's like Utah already is a step back in terms of having an identity

00:48:51because their identity is Wonder Bread.

00:48:55It doesn't have one.

00:48:56It has the flavor complexity of salt.

00:49:01It doesn't.

00:49:01It's nothing.

00:49:03So it's all right.

00:49:05Your team just being the Utah team is fucking crazy.

00:49:09You got to come up with a name.

00:49:10You got to do something.

00:49:11Have you seen the mascot?

00:49:15Yeah.

00:49:15I said he is Benny the Bull's felon cousin.

00:49:19Yeah, yeah.

00:49:20And that's exactly what he is.

00:49:21He is horrifying.

00:49:23I don't know what he is.

00:49:25Bear.

00:49:25You know how hard.

00:49:26Okay, fuck off with that.

00:49:28Are you kidding me?

00:49:30Jesus Christ.

00:49:32First, Pittsburgh takes the colors.

00:49:35Then you take our bears.

00:49:38Yeah, you know how difficult it is to upstage Gritty as the most horrifying NHL mascot?

00:49:45At least Gritty has a cartoony aspect to him where you feel like it's intentional.

00:49:52You look at Utah's mascot, and you're like, I want to call the police right now.

00:49:58I don't know if.

00:50:01Yeah, that thing that doesn't belong anywhere.

00:50:04No, no, that thing does not belong.

00:50:06I want to kill it, and we probably should just for everyone's safety.

00:50:11Just to be probably take it out in the safe side to be on the safe side.

00:50:15Let's kill it.

00:50:17It's like that fake Disney Twitter account.

00:50:19It's like Goofy is dead.

00:50:21Yeah, it's like we bear has been bear mascot has been euthanized.

00:50:26I think his name is bear.

00:50:28I hate that.

00:50:28Hold on.

00:50:29Utah.

00:50:30He wears a headband that says bear.

00:50:34No, his name is Jazz Bear.

00:50:38Wait, is he like the jazz mascot?

00:50:41Is he the Utah Jazz mascot?

00:50:43Yes, I believe that is.

00:50:45Yeah, it is.

00:50:47Yeah.

00:50:49Oh, awful.

00:50:51They didn't even get their own.

00:50:53Dude, they don't even have their own fucking mascot.

00:50:55Yeah, it's a mascot.

00:50:58They're borrowing an NBA mascot.

00:51:02Less upset about the.

00:51:03Oh, my good God.

00:51:06Oh, my Lord.

00:51:07Job.

00:51:08I am going to text you a photograph right now.

00:51:10I need you to text me a photo.

00:51:11Photograph right now.

00:51:12I need you to look at.

00:51:13Stop looking at your computer.

00:51:15All right.

00:51:15Look at what I'm about to text you.

00:51:17I'm right.

00:51:18Holy shit.

00:51:22Standing by.

00:51:23We'll tweet this photo on the bear with me, Twitter.

00:51:25Oh, no, look at his.

00:51:28No, you can't.

00:51:30I can't see the human eyes of the person in the suit.

00:51:35That is awful.

00:51:37This is what Five Night at Freddy's wishes.

00:51:40It was.

00:51:40Oh, this looks like a poorly taxidermied otter slapped onto a prisoner.

00:51:49Oh, my God.

00:51:49It looks like the climax of the horror movie where the guy reveals that he's, like, made

00:51:55a suit out of bear skin.

00:51:58Yes.

00:51:59Yeah.

00:51:59No, that's awful.

00:52:00I hate that so much.

00:52:03Can you tweet that from the bear with me account, please?

00:52:05Just no.

00:52:07Yeah, just right now.

00:52:08And then when people listen to the show, they'll get some context as to why that is.

00:52:12Oh, my God.

00:52:13That's horrible.

00:52:14I will tweet.

00:52:16This will make sense later.

00:52:20I do want to say about Utah that their end sees a lot of talk about their balcony, the

00:52:26end sections, but how the further up you go, you don't have visibility of the net closer

00:52:34to you and their discounted tickets and whatever.

00:52:37And they're talking about fixing it before they fix it.

00:52:42The front row of the balcony at the ends of the ice, the best seat in the NHL.

00:52:50Yeah.

00:52:50Have you seen that view?

00:52:52It's like it's like it's like a youth.

00:52:54It's like a youth rink.

00:52:55You're, like, just above the ice.

00:52:57Like, you're, like, almost at the glass looking straight down.

00:53:00It's really, really, really cool.

00:53:04That's all.

00:53:04That's all I had to say.

00:53:05It's cool.

00:53:06Yeah, I did see that.

00:53:08I think it was a key.

00:53:08Daddy tweeted it out and was like, this is unbelievable.

00:53:11It's like too close.

00:53:12It's like you're hovering over the ice almost.

00:53:18The rink still looks wild.

00:53:20Like, they've even said that, like, they have to, like, fix the rink to be like the

00:53:24seats to be more conducive to having an ice rink out there.

00:53:31Sure.

00:53:31Like parts of the balcony.

00:53:32You cannot see the whole sheet of ice.

00:53:34Yeah.

00:53:35Excuse me.

00:53:37But generally speaking, the Utah team, Utah is a little nasty.

00:53:43Yeah, you get a little freaky with it.

00:53:45Yeah.

00:53:45I'm so dumb.

00:53:46Like, I was a Coyotes fan for 10 years, more than 10 years.

00:53:49And I was like, I'm a Utah fan, right?

00:53:51And I was like, it's the same roster.

00:53:53I was like, OK, yeah, then I'm a Utah fan.

00:53:56Because, like, I wanted a new team and I didn't know how I felt about Utah just

00:54:00because, like, the name and everything.

00:54:01But I kind of I'm running with it.

00:54:05I like it.

00:54:07Dude, I don't know if you, like, watch any of that game, but ESPN must get paid a dollar

00:54:14every time they refer to Liam O'Brien to spicy tuna.

00:54:17That's the only way they referred him for the entirety of the game, even during the

00:54:20interview.

00:54:21And he even looked like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:54:25I did say that.

00:54:26Yeah.

00:54:28They're good.

00:54:29I didn't.

00:54:29Yeah.

00:54:30Clayton Keller.

00:54:31Don't.

00:54:32Yeah.

00:54:33Yeah.

00:54:35Josh.

00:54:37Joshua.

00:54:37Yeah.

00:54:37Yeah, I know.

00:54:40Big year from Keith Kochuk coming up.

00:54:43Is it?

00:54:45Should be.

00:54:46Those goats are looking good.

00:54:49So I'm just naming other coyotes.

00:54:51Speaking of Keith Kochuk, I want to talk about the NHL faceoff series.

00:54:58Yeah, let's do it.

00:54:59Yeah, let's do it.

00:55:00I mentioned it before.

00:55:01It kind of made Matt Kochuk likable for five minutes, a little bit.

00:55:09Just about five.

00:55:10That was it.

00:55:11And not even the full five for part of a five minute period.

00:55:18There's, like, a clip of him chirping Marshan during the series.

00:55:21It was, like, Martian is just, like, standing next to the bench because Chuck's, like, never

00:55:25seen a captain give up on his team.

00:55:27And pasta is, like, yeah, like, don't even listen to him, like, obviously, don't listen

00:55:33to Matt Kochuk ever, but the clips of Matt in the backyard with Keith Kochuk, his dad

00:55:40and Brady were really good, like, just very, like, of course, that's how the Kochuks, like,

00:55:45interact with each other.

00:55:46I will say I liked watching it.

00:55:49I wouldn't know.

00:55:50Part of me was, like, I don't think I would enjoy hanging out.

00:55:55Hanging out with them.

00:55:57No, it would be very uncomfortable.

00:55:59No, I'd get bullied is what would happen.

00:56:01They're bullying.

00:56:02Yeah, exactly it.

00:56:03Yeah, yeah, they bully each other.

00:56:05So we certainly wouldn't be safe.

00:56:07You, you certainly wouldn't be safe.

00:56:08I, I would be crying in minutes and I've said this before.

00:56:12I cannot wrap my head around the fact that Brady could chuck his six foot four.

00:56:16He should be like five, eight at most.

00:56:19He should be a little guy and he's not.

00:56:22He's quite a large man.

00:56:25Also, like, Keith, did you have to have children?

00:56:29Did you have to do that to us?

00:56:31Weren't you?

00:56:31Weren't you enough?

00:56:33You didn't have to do that.

00:56:34He didn't have it, but he did it to us.

00:56:35This, the Swayman, the Swayman stuff.

00:56:38Interesting.

00:56:39I guess it's weird because the shelf life of it was so short, but him talking about

00:56:44the big quote being like, I haven't proved shit yet and blah, blah, blah.

00:56:48Had, you know, if he was still holding out, we would be, you know, looking for any little

00:56:53clue and nugget that we could pull out of there.

00:56:55But unfortunately, like I said, the shelf life of that was, I think, like four days.

00:56:58Yeah, yeah, it, it was like a neat little inside look at him.

00:57:04I, it, that watching that episode was actually what made me

00:57:08worry for the first time that we weren't going to sign him.

00:57:12I don't know if I just kind of was putting it out of mind or whatever,

00:57:16but just dude clearly loves to play, clearly loves being a Bruin.

00:57:21Everything with his dad was very, very sweet.

00:57:23And I was like, I like this a lot.

00:57:25I like this guy a lot.

00:57:26Like, I love Sway.

00:57:28But I, when that episode ended, I was like, we got to sign this guy like that.

00:57:33And they kept hammering, like how good he was in the playoffs.

00:57:37Like he even could juggle.

00:57:38It was like he was the star of their first round with Toronto.

00:57:42He was the difference maker.

00:57:44So, but it was, it was a really cool insight.

00:57:46All the stuff with Posenok was great too.

00:57:49Made me like William Nylander, I think.

00:57:52Yeah.

00:57:53Did that too.

00:57:53Yeah.

00:57:54If they're trying to market these stars or whatever, they're doing a good job.

00:57:57And Forsberg too.

00:57:59Forsberg is a fantastic example of a player that like I, like Philip Forsberg and Nashville,

00:58:03that I know is very good.

00:58:05And I couldn't really tell you much more about it.

00:58:07I didn't even know what he sounded like.

00:58:09I thought he had a full-on accent, but he doesn't.

00:58:12So I, I really appreciate the series for just like, I don't know,

00:58:15educating me more about the, the league that I love watching.

00:58:19If you are listening to this and you have not watched the NHL face-off series on Amazon prime,

00:58:24highly recommend it.

00:58:25Just within the first minute I texted you, Joe, and I said, this is already the best

00:58:31behind the scenes content the NHL has ever put out.

00:58:34Like I love behind the B, but it's a very hit or miss.

00:58:37Sometimes it's like, yeah, that's them walking their dog.

00:58:40Yeah.

00:58:40Some episodes, some episodes are like, you know, like the, obviously the famous ones,

00:58:45like the Sagan trade stuff.

00:58:47Like that's fucking nuts that they caught that.

00:58:50Yeah.

00:58:50And then there are some episodes where it's like, now they're on the plane

00:58:53and now they're playing the game.

00:58:55And now the game's over.

00:58:56I'm Dennis Leary.

00:58:59You ever watch that show?

00:59:00Rescue me.

00:59:02I remember me the most from, uh, what was that fucking, that would have been a good joke.

00:59:08Small soldiers.

00:59:09I think he was in that.

00:59:10Am I wrong?

00:59:11I remember that movie.

00:59:12I remember that movie.

00:59:13Small soldiers cast.

00:59:14Was he in the part of the show where we start talking about obscure movies and actors?

00:59:18Yeah.

00:59:18He wasn't, he wasn't small soldiers.

00:59:21What a, what a pole.

00:59:24Uh, yeah, but the behind the scenes with the NHL, I also just love the format of the series

00:59:29because like they take two, every episode is, they take two players.

00:59:33They show a lot of background on them and eventually it comes to them playing each

00:59:37other in the playoffs.

00:59:38And I think that's a really, really cool format.

00:59:41And I really hope they do that again in the future.

00:59:43I, yeah, it was very cool.

00:59:45No, we'll say it felt montage at times.

00:59:47Just like the, I think it's the music, to be honest with you.

00:59:49I think like the amount of music I was like, this is a little much, like I want to, I want

00:59:53to chill here.

00:59:54And if you want it ushered through it, you know that, and if like you want to like show

00:59:59the, like the game and like a playoff series, but you only have so much time, like you kind

01:00:04of have to pack a lot into a little amount of time.

01:00:07So it's invariably going to feel a little montage, but I definitely know what you mean.

01:00:12But I think it's really important for a show like this to exist for the NHL because the

01:00:16NHL is not very good at marketing its product.

01:00:20So this is like one of those shows that like, I could probably recommend to people who I

01:00:24know who love sports, but don't really watch hockey and be like, this is a really good

01:00:28insight into the players, like some of the stars and then the game itself.

01:00:33And it's even like the, like them, like contextualizing, like, yeah, like how important hockey is in

01:00:39Toronto and like what Boston is like as a hockey town.

01:00:43And just like the pressure on these players from not only themselves, but the city and

01:00:49each other.

01:00:49And it was super cool getting the full mic'd up part of Nylander telling him, telling Matthews

01:00:57and the team to like quit bitching and that they just keep crying about everything.

01:01:00Love that.

01:01:01And even there's a one little audio clip from Postenok where he's like yelling in the

01:01:06locker room.

01:01:07He's like, all we're doing is yelling at each other.

01:01:08All we're doing is bitching at each other.

01:01:11And it's like, of course, like, you know, that like they get mad at each other on the

01:01:14ice.

01:01:14Like it's well documented that they're not afraid to do that.

01:01:17And they understand it's just them being competitive.

01:01:20But it's, I don't know.

01:01:21It's just those like little insight things that are, it's really cool to hear and really

01:01:25cool to see.

01:01:25And it's cool to hear them swear.

01:01:27That's another big thing, honestly.

01:01:30Uncensored NHL content is like something we've all asked for.

01:01:33Yeah, it's been since.

01:01:34What was it?

01:01:35What was the HBO show?

01:01:36It was like road to the show.

01:01:38Yeah, the one about the winter classic.

01:01:41Yeah, road to the winter classic.

01:01:42I think that's what it was called.

01:01:43Yeah.

01:01:46Yeah, I so highly recommend it.

01:01:48And I desperately hope they continue doing it.

01:01:51I would love a version of this.

01:01:52Not even just about the playoffs, but if it meant we got more of it, like give me regular

01:01:57season content.

01:01:58Sure.

01:01:58I mean, well, that's what behind the B is.

01:02:00That's fair.

01:02:01That's fair.

01:02:01We do have that.

01:02:02We're so lucky to have behind the B, like Red Sox fans right now are like so stoked

01:02:06about in April.

01:02:08There's going to be like a 10 part.

01:02:10I don't even know if it's 10 part.

01:02:11I made that up, but like a multi-part miniseries documentary that Netflix shot over last season.

01:02:17And I find myself getting excited about it.

01:02:19And then I remember I have that dropping weekly for the Bruins.

01:02:23I have it and I watch it 40% of the time.

01:02:27We should all be glued to behind the B.

01:02:30It's just, I don't know.

01:02:31When I see it on, I'm like, I'll watch it.

01:02:33I'll watch it another time.

01:02:34I'll find it.

01:02:36It's tough in the beginning of the season, because like I said, it's like I'm not big

01:02:41on the off season behind the B, like when they're like, here's Charlie Coyle walking

01:02:45his dogs.

01:02:46It's like, oh, that's nice.

01:02:48But like I want to watch behind the B the week after there was a line brawl with Toronto

01:02:55and Frederick and Truba fought each other twice in the same game.

01:02:59Like I want that shit.

01:03:01Like I want the on the ice mic'd up shit.

01:03:03And even if it's censored, I still, you still get so much out of it.

01:03:08So you're absolutely right.

01:03:10We're spoiled with behind the B.

01:03:11It's been going on for so long, like so long.

01:03:14There's probably going to be one soon, you know, with the Swayman negotiations, at least

01:03:19one dropped yesterday before the game.

01:03:21Quit dropping shit.

01:03:22Did you watch it?

01:03:23I did, but it literally was.

01:03:25Here's Charlie Coyle walking his dog.

01:03:27That was a very specific example I was giving.

01:03:30They do show like some of the Swayman stuff, but it's mostly just like him signing the

01:03:34paperwork.

01:03:35And so it is in that episode, and it wasn't anything juicy.

01:03:39No, it's not like the Sagan deal.

01:03:43Like, it's kind of just like they don't get it.

01:03:46It's like catch the phone.

01:03:48They show the presser.

01:03:49They show like the $64 million comment.

01:03:51Like they don't shy away from it, but there's not like much going on in terms of like them

01:03:58negotiating with Swayman's camp.

01:04:00Like that is definitely not a part of it.

01:04:02But no, but it's just like it was covering the preseason.

01:04:07It's like, all right, it's the preseason.

01:04:08Like, I honestly, even this first game will be good content for behind the B, because

01:04:13like, you know, like someone was getting mad on the eyes.

01:04:17Like, I want to hear somebody miked up, and no, it should be good.

01:04:23I have one more thing.

01:04:26Hit me on our docket here, and it is Frank Saravalli.

01:04:33I don't care to pronounce your name correctly.

01:04:36He put out his like season predictions for the year, and he in it predicted

01:04:46the Columbus Blue Jackets to win the draft lottery.

01:04:52And this is the exact quote that he posted the first time he posted it,

01:04:57not after he edited it four times.

01:05:00Quote, with a little help from Goudreau, the Columbus Blue Jackets will win the 2025 draft

01:05:05lottery.

01:05:06It's the only consolation prize on a brutal year, but hope and help is on the way.

01:05:09Bananas that the Blue Jackets have never won the lottery.

01:05:13And then changed it to with a little help from Goudreau in heaven, that ought to fix

01:05:18it.

01:05:19Fixed it.

01:05:20The Columbus Blue Jackets will win the 2025 draft lottery.

01:05:23Everybody keeps using the same word, and I'm going to use it to gross.

01:05:27Yeah, gross.

01:05:28Gross, dude.

01:05:29Really gross.

01:05:30It took me 11 seconds.

01:05:32Rob, I timed myself.

01:05:33It took me 11 seconds to write this.

01:05:35Okay, this is first of all stunning.

01:05:37This got through not only his brain, but whatever editor sifted through this dog shit

01:05:44sentence, but here 11 seconds.

01:05:47It took me to write after the tragic loss of Johnny Goudreau.

01:05:51Expectations for Columbus have changed drastically.

01:05:54They are a strong candidate in my pick to win the 2025 NHL draft lottery, though the

01:05:58Blue Jackets will struggle without him.

01:06:00It is an immeasurable loss off the ice as well.

01:06:03Infinitely better.

01:06:05Like, it felt like he was passive aggressively blaming Goudreau.

01:06:09Like, thanks to Johnny.

01:06:11Thanks to Johnny.

01:06:13I was like, you got to be kidding me, dude.

01:06:15Like, obviously that's not what he meant, but like, that's how you're the president

01:06:19of the Writers Association.

01:06:21Like, that's the best you got.

01:06:24And like you said, he kept changing it.

01:06:26I'm like, it didn't get better.

01:06:28You made it worse.

01:06:29It wasn't that you didn't acknowledge you thought he went to heaven.

01:06:33I wasn't like, no, no, no, no.

01:06:35Like, he went to the good place.

01:06:37Whoa, whoa, I'm saying that's not the issue.

01:06:41He was a good guy.

01:06:43Such a needless inclusion to like, and you could just like the way you put it is exactly

01:06:48how we should have put it.

01:06:50It's like, yes, like this happened, and it is unfortunate that we have to kind of talk

01:06:56about the effect it will have on the team.

01:06:58Yeah, like how well they will do.

01:07:00Like, that is a huge loss for the team, and they probably won't be that good this year

01:07:03now.

01:07:05And notice this, Rob.

01:07:07This is just my writing here.

01:07:09Sealinusmedia.com.

01:07:13Pillowed on both sides.

01:07:15Tragic loss at the top of the paragraph, and then immeasurable loss off the ice at the

01:07:20end of the paragraph.

01:07:21So like, it's really sad.

01:07:23The team is going to be worse because of it, and it's really sad.

01:07:26Double cushion.

01:07:28Wrap it up.

01:07:29Hey, this is tough to say, I understand, but the team is going to be a lot worse without

01:07:34their best player.

01:07:36And now on to my next thing.

01:07:39Did you read that whole thing, by the way?

01:07:41Like the whole article?

01:07:42Yeah.

01:07:43No.

01:07:44Did you read what he wrote about Tampa?

01:07:48No.

01:07:49What did he write?

01:07:50He wrote with a little help from Hurricane Milton, the Tampa Bay Lightning will have

01:07:55a whole new fan base to ingratiate themselves to.

01:07:58Are you fucking with me?

01:07:59Yeah.

01:08:00Okay.

01:08:01I was like, my guy.

01:08:04Fire him into the sun.

01:08:05That's good.

01:08:06That was me.

01:08:07That was me.

01:08:07That's just a joke.

01:08:08The first time I read what he wrote about Johnny, I was so sure that it was like written

01:08:16months ago before any of that happened.

01:08:18And I thought it was like people were upset because he was like digging at Johnny for

01:08:22being so bad that the Blue Jackets would finish last.

01:08:27And I was like, well, that's a dumb take anyways, because Johnny's good.

01:08:32And then I read that it was posted earlier that day.

01:08:35I was like, oh, what?

01:08:38What are you doing, Frank?

01:08:40Unbelievable.

01:08:41Really, really unbelievable.

01:08:42And the whole like, hey, sorry.

01:08:45Shut up, dude.

01:08:47My bad.

01:08:48I didn't realize how many people dislike him, too, because that was a pretty

01:08:51universal people.

01:08:52Like, well, we don't really care what he thinks.

01:08:53I don't know.

01:08:55I was I told you I was, like, getting mad at myself that I was even starting to, like,

01:08:59come around on him a little bit.

01:09:01Yeah, you were saying that.

01:09:02Yeah.

01:09:03Here's what he did say, though, just in case you guys want the context earlier today in

01:09:07an annual season predictions column time out the annual thing.

01:09:17He's going to use every excuse that he can.

01:09:19But the first one is that.

01:09:21Don't let that be shrouded.

01:09:23That's an excuse.

01:09:24Like, hey, I do this every year.

01:09:27It's like such a it's tone deaf to be like, we're not mad that you did season.

01:09:32I don't know.

01:09:32Whatever.

01:09:33Anyway, quote earlier today in an annual season predictions column, I picked the Columbus

01:09:37Blue Jackets to win the draft lottery and included commentary about Johnny Goodrow looking

01:09:42down on them from heaven for good luck.

01:09:45Fuck you.

01:09:45That's not what you said.

01:09:47What I wrote and how my poor choice of words was received was not intended to create any

01:09:52hurt or anger.

01:09:54And he goes on from there, whatever he's gutted.

01:09:56He's really sad.

01:09:57I should not have tied the two together.

01:09:59I'm sorry.

01:10:03I don't like apologizing, but changing what you did because that's what he did.

01:10:09Looking down on them from heaven for good luck.

01:10:12That's not what you said.

01:10:14You said thanks to his death.

01:10:15They're going to suck.

01:10:17That's what you said.

01:10:17And then people told you about it and you edited it and it still sucked.

01:10:21So you had chances.

01:10:24You're a professional writer.

01:10:25You're the president of the goddamn Writers Association.

01:10:27You have editors and it's still insensitive and your apology sucks.

01:10:33Not accepted.

01:10:36Anyway, that's all I got.

01:10:40The only thing you ruined the goddamn Seattle draft.

01:10:44That's what it was.

01:10:45That's why people don't like him.

01:10:47That's what it was.

01:10:48Yeah, I think it's a lot of things, but that was the big one for me.

01:10:50Yeah, no, I knew I was missing one thing.

01:10:52I knew it was like a thing.

01:10:53That was definitely it real quick.

01:10:57Going to rewind it back to the game one real quick.

01:11:00Also missed the point where more geeky got cross checked and there was no call because,

01:11:04of course, a super random thing to throw in on top of it.

01:11:09But it really upset me and I wanted to make sure I mentioned it at least once.

01:11:12It was Sam Bennett, because, of course, it was because, of course, it was.

01:11:15That's why I wanted to be.

01:11:19I don't know anything else.

01:11:22We play the Panthers on Monday.

01:11:27Yeah, put sway in that.

01:11:28Probably right.

01:11:30Yeah.

01:11:31How many starts do you think Sway is going to have this year?

01:11:34I don't know, but I mean, it's not.

01:11:37Is it official that he's in the Montreal game?

01:11:40You said that with so much confidence.

01:11:41He's going to be in that Montreal.

01:11:43I don't think so.

01:11:45He absolutely is.

01:11:47You think he's going to be?

01:11:48They don't want to play him Tuesday, but they'll play him Thursday.

01:11:50Yes, he wanted to play Tuesday.

01:11:53You know he wanted to play.

01:11:54Sure, but it's not a matter of if he wants to play.

01:11:56He didn't have training camp.

01:11:57No, he's fine.

01:11:58He didn't have a preseason.

01:11:58He's playing Thursday after that game.

01:12:00He's playing Thursday.

01:12:03He's probably going to play the next three games.

01:12:07I think that's crazy.

01:12:09So do I, but he's a bulldog.

01:12:10That's his whole thing.

01:12:11That's part of his identity.

01:12:14It's not his decision.

01:12:15It doesn't matter.

01:12:17Yeah, it absolutely matters whether or not he plays.

01:12:19Okay, it matters.

01:12:20But no, they're going to give him the net.

01:12:25Swayman's in that Thursday.

01:12:27I'm very confident.

01:12:29All right.

01:12:30Well, we shall see.

01:12:31Optics alone.

01:12:34I mean, not that they decide anything.

01:12:35I mean, they've said that.

01:12:37Yeah, I don't even think it's the optic.

01:12:38I don't think it looks bad to not play him because I think it's just like,

01:12:41well, he didn't have a training camp.

01:12:42He didn't have a preseason.

01:12:43Let's give him a little bit.

01:12:45Yeah, it's like Corpus Allo got came one.

01:12:47If they didn't already, like, establish Corpus Allo.

01:12:49I mean, they announced that he was the game one starter weeks ago,

01:12:54which meant even if he signed that day,

01:12:58that they still would have given it to Corpus Allo.

01:13:01Yeah.

01:13:01And so they want Sway to get at least a week.

01:13:05I don't know.

01:13:05Which he's got.

01:13:06He'll be in that.

01:13:08All right.

01:13:08Also, it's Montreal.
