  • Media access and professional standards matter: Vegas Golden Knights' refusal to allow post-game media access violates NHL-PHWA agreements and reflects poorly on organizational culture
  • Young teams struggle with discipline in playoffs: Buffalo Sabres' inexperience manifests in excessive penalties and poor decision-making, directly impacting playoff performance
  • Franchise identity and fan engagement drive loyalty: Anaheim Ducks' rebranding to 'Orange Country' with new ownership, logo, and entertainment has successfully rebuilt fan base despite playoff loss
  • Hockey authenticity in entertainment requires technical accuracy: 'Off Campus' portrays unrealistic player behavior and living conditions, undermining credibility despite strong acting performances

Full Transcript
The conference final picture is a lot clearer at the last night. We have Brad Williams on to talk about the duck season. Plus we give our reviews for prime videos off campus. This is the hockey show. They were drunk on the hockey news is to my left. We have Rosie and Ethan as well. My name is Roy Balmy. This is the hockey show. The Maple Leafs are still in the news as they fired the head coach, Craig. Barubi, the chief had a long tiring, just a bad, bad season for himself, which of course included him getting injured at the gym. His head got cracked open. I still don't know how that happened. Maybe a dumbbell fell on his head or whatever. I think that's probably that's probably what happened. Yeah. So second worst team in the conference. They were the worst team in the Atlantic division and fifth worst in the league, I believe, but yet they failed their way up to the top and now have the number one overall pick me of the draft lottery. And because you have a new general manager, of course, the head coach is pretty much sacrificing that situation. What did you describe was going on and going on in Toronto right now, Dave? It's a lot in flux right now. I have to wonder is John Chica and Matt Sundin going to have to give Austin Matthews the same kind of treatment that Connor MacDavid had got the last couple of summers at Edmonton when they were trying to convince him to stick around and stick with the team, see what happens. We got something. We're going to get a goalie. We promise. Like what's Toronto going to do? Like they've got to and they look, they've got a good pitch right now. Look, we're rebuilding a little not rebuilding. The front office is being rebuilt. Not a little bit either. I don't think they have a great pitch. Look, they've got talent. They've got Gavin McKenna coming in. They've got, we think we don't know for sure. Like what if Chica takes somebody else? Are you serious? Are you serious? Yes, I'm serious. We don't know. Like there are, there is debate out there that Gavin McKenna might not be assuredly the number one overall pick this year. Is that debate being put out by people who aren't picking number one? Yeah. I mean, I saw the athletic, I mean, again, it's up to the Maple Leafs, but I saw the athletic put out their rankings and they had Gavin McKenna fourth. So I think there is some dispute that it could not be Gavin McKenna. I think they should take Gavin McKenna. I think any GM that passes on Gavin McKenna will be fired within three years. But John Chica, we, you know, he's, he's that guy. Like he might do something zany, you know what I mean? Yeah. Well, Rosie does put up a good question. Who do they have first? I mean, obviously they're going to have to try to fill a hole, but what hole is that? No, they've got, they've got a lot of questions to answer in Toronto. And I mean, look, it's the most arguably the most popular franchise in the world, most profitable. They've got a lot of things going for them. It's just the hockey on the ice has been a struggle. And we talked about it last week, like it's not like Toronto hasn't had any success. Like they've had some success, but similarly to Edmonton, they can't get over the hump. And when you're putting all that kind of resources into it and you've got that kind of following and you're in that kind of cauldron, it's tough. Another firing happened. This one happened yesterday as the Edmonton role is fired. Head coach Chris Knoblock in the way they handle it, handled it was not good. Frank Saravalli reported that the oil is this week asked the go to go to Knights for permission to interview Bruce Cassidy, who they fired a couple of weeks before the playoffs. They replaced him with John Toterella, who will get to that in a little bit, by the way, after what happened last night. But yeah, Chris Knoblock was still the head coach at that time. So it seems to me that they kind of did things as backwards there. I don't know. Maybe maybe it's like I would like them to be a little bit more professional there. Do one thing first instead of, you know, the other thing, which was look for a new coach. But hey, when you've been the back to back Stanley Cup championships and then you bow on the first round, I guess times up there for Chris Knoblock. It's just was so horribly handled, Roy. Like you kind of hit the nail in the head. Like if you want to move on, fine, then move on. Don't leave the guy blowing in the wind way of trying to look for another guy. Like this is supposedly a team that's going to treat their guys well. Chris Knoblock was their guy and the way that they treated him in a very public way. Not cool at all. Like I would imagine that it would put a pause in some people's head when they're thinking about looking into places to work. Like, I mean, like it's the NHL, so jobs are going to get picked up really quick. But like that's not a cool way to treat somebody who at that moment, that was your guy. Well, the other thing is maybe he fired the wrong guy. Maybe they should have gone a little bit above and maybe Stan Bowman should again, the axter. This is what I don't get, Roy, is are they really going to let Stan Bowman make another hire? Are they really going to give him another off season of the Conor McDavid window? Like he failed miserably this year. The Tristan Jari trade was a disaster. Even worse looks like trading Brett Kulak, who just scored the overtime winner to send the Colorado Avalanche to the Western Conference final for the. Yeah, I mentioned the Colorado Avalanche. Sorry, I'm all over the place back here right now. But anyway, are they really going to let Stan Bowman make another hire here? I don't think they can do it. And it seems like they're going to. Now, when it comes to the handling of the Knoblock firing, like this is kind of what happens in the NHL. I mean, earlier this year, we saw two coaches get fired and their replacements were immediately hired. There weren't interim coaches. John Tortorello immediately replaced Bruce Cassidy and Pete DeBore immediately replaced Patrick Waugh in On the Island. So like this is kind of what they do in the NHL right now. It happened to leak. I think the team that handled the situation worse was Vegas, who will not let Edmonton interview Bruce Cassidy, which is like standard operating procedure in the NHL. And it's just to me, that's another example of Vegas just doing things the wrong way. Vegas doesn't believe in standard operating procedure. We know, establish that. No. And that's why they're on to the fifth Western Conference final in the nine years of existence. That's a good point. That's some petty divisional stuff, probably, I think. Just not going to let them have permission to interview a coach for the rival. But yeah, that's just that's just not. And going into Edmonton's probably the most important offseason since the last one. Because this was a show-by season for for kind of a David as he starts his extension this upcoming season. I mean, what are we doing here? I think I read this is going to be the sixth coach for Edmonton, for Mitt David and Drysidle in what, nine, ten years, 14 and 15 they came in. But J. Woodcroft was one of them. Yeah. And he probably should be interviewed over in Toronto as well. Yeah, he's on who's coaching staff? He's on Anaheim's, right? Yes. He's with Q. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think he's I don't think he's going to go anywhere. We have spent way too much time on two Canadian teams that are not in the playoffs anymore. Thank you for telling me how to run the show, Ethan. That's great. Thank you. Thank you. As we go into the playoffs though, speaking of the golden nights, they eliminated the Ducks last night to advance to the Western Conference Final for the fifth time in a nine-year history. Did not hang around Anaheim too long for the talks in the media. However, John Toterella decided it was time to go. He didn't talk to the media. He sent one guy to a side room to talk to the media and Mitch Marner and Brent Howden went into the media room and spoke quickly in the podium because they didn't want to miss the bus. And they made that very clear. Yeah. And that sort of move right now is just indicative of how Vegas respects the media, which is not a lot of respect. And this gives us a chance to allow David to go on a rent because David is a part of the Professional Hockey Writers Association. And he did not like this move one bit. Dave, yell. Me no like. No. No, like, all right. Thank you, Rose. No, like, what are we doing? Like it's standard operating procedure. And this is the playoffs. This isn't just like a regular season game in December or some bullshit like that. This is not only is it the playoffs either. They clinched the second round. They're going to the conference finals and the head coach who was hired a week before the playoffs starts, one of the most controversial coaches who just let his team to the conference finals. You're not going to speak to the media. You're going to push your players through the media room because I'm going to leave you if you're not on the bus by 1057. Like, what are we doing, man? I'm going to calm down for a second. No, you can keep yelling. No, I think our buddy Mark Spector put it pretty well, Ethan. If you have that tweet, can you put it up, please? Speck basically put out there that here it is. Like clockwork. When Torz moves on, he'll be a media panel talking, taking a media paycheck from a media outlet. He'll have time for the media then, but he just doesn't need him right now is all. Yeah. Like, is that like totally hitting the nail on the head? Like, dude, fulfill your obligations. Like it was last week when we were talking about how we hadn't had a Torz moment yet since he arrived in Edmonton that had been very quiet or since he arrived in Vegas. Excuse me. It had been very quiet. Yep. Here we go. The Torz show is on. This is a, this is a thing where the league and, you know, the PWA, the P H W A kind of is in lockstep when it comes to actual journalism and talking to these players, you need to go into the locker room within five minutes of, you know, the final horn, you know, that's what that's usually the mandate that doesn't necessarily happen. No, no, but the door opens always and there's players available. Like even the Panthers to their credit, like the locker room might be empty except for the three guys that are going to talk, but they're there and they talk, win, loss, whatever. Like they give you guys at the podium, they give you guys at scrums and that's what most teams are supposed to do. That's the way, it's the reason that the league and the P H W A have an agreement. Like that's why the P W A gets to vote. Like that's a, it's a mutual beneficial thing that they have going on. So no, this is not cool. I'm sure the P W A president, Steve Lino is not happy with what he saw. Bill Daly for the NHL PA probably not happy with what he saw. It's just not good all around and Torz just doesn't give a shit. Yeah. It's just not a good look and it makes us media people not happy and complain on our platform like we just did. I mean, that's content right there for us. And of course, you're not happy because if you're a reporter going into these situations, you're looking to write a story, you're looking to get a subject and you're denied that your job is kind of affected by that. Yeah. Well, for sure. If you're, if you're going into a post game situation with certain expectations that are universally met across the board, regular season playoffs, and you're preparing to do your job based off of that. And then all of a sudden it's like, oh, no, you're not getting any quotes. You're not going to get to ask these guys about this. You can't ask the coach how this feels. None of that. But you still get the job done, of course, but no, like it totally throws a wrench into the gears and it's just unprofessional. It's not cool. One of the major awards has already been decided. It was a pretty easy one. It was Matthew Schaefer to New York calendars. He is regarded the year he won the Calder Trophy. In fact, it was unanimous. First Calder Trophy for a defenseman in like 100 years, right, Rose? Oh, I was wrong about that. But I called it. I called it. You did call it. So did I. You got to get Rose the Matthew Schaefer. Roy, but you know, I don't. So for me, I want you to be impressed. Is that a milestone for me? Well, you and I don't care if you're impressed. I am. Oh, yes, you do. Because you complain about it, Rosie. I am impressed of myself. Right. David and Ethan. I think you did. I was impressed with you. Well, congratulations. 198 P.H.W.A. members voted him first place. That's the first time that has happened unanimously. Since Timmy Salani won the Calder Trophy in 1992-93. And that for that season. You scored like a thousand goals that year. Yeah. Yeah. He had the rookie record. But it was 50 members back then. Now it's like it almost it's double inflation. Yeah, inflation. It was an easy decision. I mean, 23 goals tied a record for most goals by a rookie defenseman. He was also the first defenseman in more than 90 years to lead rookies in all positions and goals. It was well deserved. And I think that's what Rosie meant by 100 years there. Let the lead in all positions for all positions in rookies for most goals in a season. I just noticed I was like trying to give Rose a little hand motion off camera and then I saw my hand just like in your camera shot. So I apologize for that. Yeah, that's that's okay. But no, I'll do it. I just send her right now. It's going to make her very happy. Look, look, look, look, look, look, look. Oh my God. I'm in. All right. Well, congratulations. Oh my God. He's in. Barkov is playing today. Oh, you already had an assist to Lundell for a goal. Yeah. Yeah, the world championships. I did you. Can you put that again here? We cannot do that right now. But yes, it's happening in Switzerland. My sister lives there. I'm going to Switzerland. She could be watching Barky right now. She's in Austria now. Austria. That's that's in Germany. Austria. That's Austria. That's a country. That's a country. Austria. I'm going to show you. I'm going to tell you history and countries and you show me hockey. I'm glad you were listening to that segment. We just officially gave you props there. So congratulations. There was a good job. And where do you give me props? I like five minutes ago when you were busy paying attention to Alexander Barkov and the world champion for props. At least you're watching hockey at least. That's very good. She's distracted about hockey. Like that's that's speaking of hockey. The Montreal Canadiens are up 3-2 in their series against the Buffalo Sabres. The Colorado Avalanche eliminated the Minnesota Wild in a great series the other night. Like we're going to talk about that at all. No, it's time for Puck Luck is sponsored by Drap Kings. Drap Kings. The crown is yours. David, go ahead. All right. So I don't have the odds yet because they have it's for tomorrow. There's no games tonight. But I've got the three plays for you and I think it's going to be a good one. First, we're going to take the Montreal Moneyline. They've been the best better team in the series. I think Buffalo looks defeated. They look it looks like their youth is showing Roy. They're just taking silly penalties and Montreal just looks like more of a veteran team, which is interesting because Buffalo is not the more veteran coach. But I'm taking the Montreal Moneyline. I'm also going to take Habs Goldtender, Jacob Dobish, Oversaves. It's probably going to be in the 25 to 27 range. But I imagine Buffalo is going to continue to put a lot of rubber on him. He's been really good in this series on the whole. Obviously in their wins. So I'm going to take Dobish Oversaves. And then finally, I'm going to take Rasmus Thaline over two and a half shots on goal. He's been ripping Puck this entire series. I think he's done over this and all but one game. So I'm going to take those three and I'm going to guess it's going to be like in the plus four to 500 range. But either way, it seems like a smart play for what will probably be the last game of the Eastern Conference semi finals. All right. Well, there you go. There you go. That's Puck Luck. That's sponsored by Drap Kings. Drap Kings. LaTran is yours. It's time for the hockey stat of the week. Hey guys. How's it going? Hey, I realize you were here. So I know I said I wanted to talk about the playoffs, which I do still. And I think, you know, that was really exciting. But we are going to go back to a non-playoff team here and one that we talked about earlier, the Edmonton Oilers. Guys, this is according to Michael Amato on Twitter. This will be Ryan Nugent Hopkins, 10th coach in 15 NHL seasons, won the Oilers higher and new coach this off season. He's played for the same team his entire career. That's kind of crazy. The Oilers have had 10 coaches in 15 seasons. And I know coaching 10 years in the NHL are shorter than they've ever been, but 10 coaches in 15 years with the same organization is insane. There's been no stability in Edmonton. Since Ryan Nugent Hopkins has been there. That's bad, man. And that's not good. I'm looking back to see how many coaches the Panthers have had since they drafted Sasha Barkov. It's going to be up there. You might have a bunch to be fair to him. Barkov was what? 20, 13, 13. Ekblad was 2014. Okay. So the border. No, the bore was pre-Denine. The bore was 2011. He was out. So Barky had Horacek Galant, Tom Rowe, Bob Boudin, or Joel Cullenville, Andrew Burnett, and Paul Murray. So that's seven. That's good. That's a good amount, man. That's still plenty of coaching. That's seven coaches with having the same one for the last four years. Yeah. Well, all right, Ethan, you have the floor. You have at least three minutes. I have at least three minutes to what? Talk about the playoffs. Yes. Wow, guys. Listen, I'm really intrigued by, first of all, I'm really intrigued by this upcoming Vegas, Colorado series, because Vegas is playing better than they have all year. And this is kind of finally like the Vegas that we expected to see, right? They're playing like a team that is a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. Now, how much of that is playing against the Utah Mammoth in the Anaheim Ducks? I'm not really sure. But they've gotten better in each series so far as the series has progressed, and they certainly got better from the first round to the second round. They dominated the Ducks in the last few games of that series, including the closeout game last night. I think they can give Colorado a shot. I don't think they'll win the series or even come close to it necessarily, but it will be a really interesting series because like Mike was saying on the show earlier today, Vegas has some elite defensive forwards that will be on the ice at all times. Now, in Montreal, Buffalo, really intrigued by this one as well. I think Montreal goes into Sontrebel in game six and closes out the Sabres. The Sabres are a really good young team, and I don't think that my impression of them has changed much during this series. The problem is they're really young and they're really inexperienced, and they're kind of really stupid. And it starts with their leaders on this team, Rasmus Dallin, their captain, and Tage Thompson, who wears an A and is their best player, have taken some really dumb penalties in this series. And it's kind of trickled down to the rest of the team where Buffalo has been on the penalty kill way too much, and it's cost them because Montreal has been fantastic on the power play in this series, with finding their form from early in the Tampa series when they scored three goals in five games in game one. So, in five tries in game one, I should say. So, I think Montreal is going to close them out here, and people continue, I've been saying it all playoffs, people continue to sleep on Montreal, continue to think that Montreal will get dog walked by Carolina. I do not think that at all. I think they're a legitimate cup contender, and they can definitely give Carolina a shot. I even think they could win that series, and I would predict them to win that series because I kind of did predict them to go to the same, they got final before the playoffs even started. So, really excited about what's going on in that Montreal Buffalo series. Can't wait for game six tomorrow night. And until then, it's just a waiting game for that Colorado series in Carolina. What is it going to be? 11 days if it goes to game seven or something like that, guys, that they've been on the couch? It's going to be going to be a really exciting conference final. And let me remind you that only Ethan and I were still alive. That's true. That's true. That's true. Ross knocked me out, and obviously David had the kings. Whoo! So, there's that. And quite frankly, Rosie shouldn't be in this either. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That was picked by Ethan, so that doesn't count. My team is the Avalanche. What can I do the next if the wait? Rose had the flyers before she decided to take charge. And then she decided she didn't want the flyers, and so she picked the Avalanche. You picked the flyers. I know, but that's how it works on the show, usually on the bucket of death. No, you know what? The bucket is the end. You can go with wins because I'm not going to have this discussion of them. Okay, it's time for wins and fails. Dave, what's your win? My win of the week is going to make Ethan very happy. The three finalists were named this week for the Jim Gregory GM of the Year Awards, and guess who didn't make the cut, Ethan? Finally, guys. Do we have to rename it the Jim Neil Memorial Award or something like that? He's still alive, brother. Stop doing that. Well, him getting nominated is dead. So does that. Interestingly enough, the year the Panthers are decimated by injuries is the year the Jim Neil doesn't go up for the award either. Someday, someday, Bill Zito will get his flowers. Now, he doesn't care because he's got his Stanley Cup rings, but we care. It's deserved. This year's finalists, Billy Garen in Minnesota, Avalanche GM, Chris McFarland, and Ducks GM, Pat Verbeek. Personally, I think I'm leaning toward Pat Verbeek, but either way, I think it's a win for us all because we finally will get a new winner. All right. My win of the week comes from Game 2 of the Canadian Saber Series. A scrum happened. Somehow, Mike Matheson ended up on top of Zach Benson. And while that scrum moved closer towards them, Matheson decided to protect Benson's head from the nearby skates that were going towards him. And even in competition, that is a good job by Matheson to protect his opponent from what could have been a very much gruesome injury. And we've seen skate injuries in this league before. Never good. So good on Matheson, protect Zach Benson. Right there, Roy. That is why Ethan and Roy and Rose. That is why Buffalo is losing the series. Because one team in the midst of all this playoff psychotic chaos, one team has the wherewithal to still understand what's more important. The, yeah, what's more important is being disciplined and Buffalo has not been disciplined at all this entire series. No, they have not. No. In fact, both teams need to keep their sticks down. That's the other thing. You saw in Game 3 that when you have your sticks up, somehow, some way, most likely, you're going to end up getting a double minor because somebody's going to get cut open with a stick. And that's what happened actually the past the entire series. That's even the top end of the stick, though. We had a butt end penalty in the series. Yeah, it was two button. Really? Because that was Josh Manson. That was Josh Manson and Michael McCarron. Yeah. So, yeah, the butt end. The rest of the conference, yeah, I watched the other end of the stick. Oh, man. Yeah. So that's not good. Ethan, why is your win? My win of the week, guys, we're going to go to the PWHL for this one, the conference final between, or the semifinal, excuse me, between the Montreal Victoire and the Minnesota Frost and Renee Dabien. And if we can take this video, Danny B made an unreal save right here on her back, goes up in the air and catches it with the glove here on Renee Dabien. Of course, the goaltender that lost the gold medal game for Canada against the United States. But she makes an amazing save here. The Victoire would go on to win that game in that series, 2-1 in Game 5 over the Minnesota Frost. They will face the Ottawa charge in the PWHL finals for the Walter Cup. So shout out to the PWHL, shout out to the Victoire, and shout out to the Ottawa charge. The Victoire? Yeah, Victoire. That meant victory in French. Is that what they say on the TV calls if I watch here come the Victoire? Yes. Yes. Yes. Just like they'll say Saint-Trobelle as well, the official name of the building. No, it's the Bell Center. I'm always right, Rose. No, you're not. No. Don't ever say that again. By the way, the Minnesota Frost, best jersey's in the league. So good. If anybody has a Taylor Heisey, Minnesota Frost, jersey and wants to send it my way, shout out to your boy. Rosie, what is your win? So my win of the week is something I want to start doing. It's going to be, I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it, but listen to this masterpiece. I'm not going to put it all, I might put it all. Put it. Go. MacKinnon came out swinging. Golden two dimes. Guy Bodicrum sent him back to hard times. One snot, two sedatives. 22 on the clock. Five shots fired. Had the Wilde in a shock. Niggas lit the lamp first. Sit the tone real quick. Valeri sealed it. That was not how you say nature. So slick. Power plate popping. Two for five. That's the edge. Wilde went zero for two. Couldn't climb off the ledge. Fans in the stands yelling. Nates dishing today. Who's still down waiting for help to play? Capri's off. Took a low blow. Burns missed his aim. Got kicked. Where's Sting's? Oh, crowd felt the shame. That kicked where his things. The crowd felt the shame. That's better than anything that came out of Ottawa. I'll tell you that. I'm telling you, I'm doing that now. I'm doing that now. I just need help from what that was done with. So you're going to create songs now? I'm going to create songs, but I'm going to help help me create the melody because I don't know how to play music. Can you do something other than country? That was kind of good. I actually like country. At first it sounded weird, but the more like it kind of, yeah. And whoever wrote that, like it was well written. Yeah, right? Okay. Good wind rose. Let's go to fails. David, what's your film? We kind of touched on it a little bit earlier. My fail is the oilers, Roy. It's just a shit show right now. Nothing more needs to be said. We said it already. Well, I'm looking at my bullet points that I wanted to talk about. We've basically said it all. Stan Bowman's on the hot seat. Every few off seasons, we've been saying it's the most important off season for the Soilers team. They've known the problem for year after year after year inside. They still don't have a goaltender. So yeah, Oilers, you're my fail. All right. Back when the playoffs began during one of the intermission reports on the SP and Steve Levy challenged both Mark Missy and P.K. Souba to pronounce Uka Pekka Lukanen's name. And this is how it sounded. Did you want to take a crack at that, anybody? Hekka Lukanen. Is that his first name? Lukanen. I'm missing one. His friends call him UPL. All right. So that's obviously the fail here. But what's magnified, that fail, well, the Buffalo Sabres kind of recruited a couple of fans to correctly pronounce UPL's name. And this is how it sounded. Yeah. Uka Pekka Lukanen. That's not how you say it. Rosie said it. Uka Pekka Lukanen. That's not how you say it. Yeah. Miss P.K., you can't get outshined by a bunch of four year olds or toddlers in this situation, but you did. And that's not good. Ethan, what's your fail? I didn't have a fail coming in, guys, but I'll talk about Uka Pekka Lukanen here. You can call him. You can call him polled at the second intermission in, arguably, the most important game of the season. You can have told me that you didn't have a fail before this show. And I would not have gone to you. It's just like I did. My fail is the, no, my fail is the Vegas Golden Knights, guys. Your fail is up to yourself. No, my fail is the, it's the Vegas Golden Knights. Their behavior is terrible. And I'm tired of it. And I'm tired of them getting away with it. Carter Hart's playing well. It stinks. Nobody's having fun. I'm bummed that they're in the Western Commonwealth. So you, in lieu of not having a fail, did what David just did. Yes, yes, yes. My fail is, is the Vegas Golden Knights. Carter Hart's last seven games, Ethan, nine 18 save percentage, 2.37 goals against nobody's enjoying eight goals saved above expected. So nasty. Not having fun. That's, that's unbelievable. Rose, you don't have a fail leader. Yeah, I already told you. See now, Rose told me this before the show. And I knew that that's why I decided not to go to her because I thought that you had a filly. Then I mean, come on. For those of you watching on draft Kings Network, please check out and subscribe to our YouTube channel at the hockey show DLS because coming up next, we have Brad Williams, who most likely is very sad. His ducks lost last night, got eliminated by the Vegas Golden Knights. And we will talk about that coming up next with Brad Williams. Shaba man, let me tell you something, Brad.

That's shipstation.com code damn shipstation.com code D A N. Shabba. I'm definitely ready to talk about that. I wanted to play this video to get your analysis. Do you know what the blade gang is? The blade gang? Yes. I'm assuming that's what those vampires called themselves while having the rave and the movie blade. That's what that's what we which was a fire track. They're crazy opening scene. Yeah, the crazy opening scene. That is not it. No, no, there's a bunch of guys, a bunch of people dressed up in full hockey pads and buffalo wearing skates. They have gotten some attention throughout the playoffs and apparently they have added a dwarf to the gang. Let's see if I know them. Here's the video. Because every dwarf knows every dwarf, right? I mean, I hate to say that. All right, I'm trying to zoom in on this. All right. Yeah, so the dwarf is dressed up in full pads and in roller blades and he crashed into one of those training dummies for MMA artists wearing a cold car fuel. Oh, the answer is he teabag them. Wow. He did teabag them and that is a devastating move. You think, oh, it's not that bad because dwarves are small, but we have big dumpers, man. We have Yoko's Duna, Rikishi style dumpers. So doing that move is absolutely devastating. And I feel bad for that training dummy. Sadly, I made the joke, but I do know that dwarf. Yeah, that dwarf is a TikToker. So I'm not surprised that he, yeah, I think he's in the TikTok where when Avatar came out where he's riding on the back of a tall guy's swimming underwater, it got a lot of views. But yeah, he's a, yeah, he's a TikToker. But I now I know the Blade Gang because their first video that went viral was the guy skating backwards, I think was against the Bruins and then he tripped and fell on something. Yeah, so good. So good. Yeah. Yeah, that was classic. And yeah, so, hey, man, this is why I love Buffalo. Buffalo goes all in, they go all out. They love their sports teams. They continue to love their sports teams despite not winning titles. And they just keep showing up, man. So you got to appreciate it. You got to appreciate the good people of Buffalo. And I don't know how I'm viewing this because on one point, I would love to see a Canadian team win a cup. And the other side, I would love to see Buffalo advance and for that, see to get a cup. But talking to the Canadians that I've talked to, a lot of Canadians that I've talked to are like, no, we don't want the Canadians win a cup. We don't. Not those Canadians. We want, we want an Ottawa. We want Calgary to get good again. We wanted McJesus to get a cup, you know, something, something like that. And that's not happening. Thanks to my Anaheim Ducks. Jesus will not get a cup. I mean, speaking of that, Brad, you were in Edmonton when the Ducks knocked out the Oilers, right? And then you came out with your Jersey on and, and you danced the Pink Pony Club, which was a great touch. What was that reaction like? And what was everybody saying to you when that happened? So just to specify, I came out on stage wearing my Ducks Jersey when I was doing a show the next night in Calgary. So they loved that probably, right? Oh, they loved it. They were going nuts. I made so much in merch sales that night. It was a really great move. In Edmonton, I wasn't ballsy enough to wear the Jersey on stage, but I did have the game on during my meet and greet line. I do a free meet and greet after every show. And I had the game on. So it was like it was in a casino. So all the TVs had the game on in the line. So you would just hear chirps and cheers and booze. There was a goal in that game that got disallowed because one of the Edmonton players kicked it in. And that was one of the better moments of my life. And, but then once I, once the Ducks won the game, and once the, once the meet and greet line was over, I did put on my Jersey and walk around the casino floor and I'm still alive. So, Hey, that's good. Well, they're friendly in Edmonton. I mean, you know, even when Roy and I were up there, they were pretty kind. Yeah, because we weren't wearing any Panthers jerseys or hats or anything like that. So they didn't know. Well, I just have a question about what you were just saying. You said that that when the goal was disallowed, it made it the greatest night of your life, but I'd like to get some elaboration on that. Like, were there people sobbing around you that brought you joy at that moment? Yes. It was definite Shaden Freud. And I grew up playing youth hockey. I played youth hockey from age eight to age 15 when people got real big. And I stopped growing. And my team was always the flames that that's that was the youth team that I was always on. And my coach was from Calgary. And so he taught me to hate the Oilers. And so I'm a guy, you know, Joe Neuendike, Mike Vernon, Theron Flurry, these are the flames that I grew up with. And that those teams that I really enjoyed. So yeah, seeing Edmonton fans whine and cry and sob was just, it was beautiful. It was it was a and then knowing that and I imagine a lot of you guys felt the same way. Like for Canadians hockey is their birthright. They believe hockey is their birthright. So the fact that I'm sitting here as a child in Orange County, California, Anaheim, and I'm like, well, my team's winning. Yes, the great hockey hub of Anaheim, California. That's that just really drove the Canadian fans nuts. All right, let's move on to the series that just ended yesterday. Yeah, I mean, I felt bad for you because I knew you were coming on today and I realized, oh, no, this is an elimination game. What if the ducks lose and they end up losing? So I was like, Oh, is it professional? He's here. What do you think? Yeah, man. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I didn't really think that Brad was going to ghost us. He did text me this morning, like, okay, I'll be on a ninth or ninth or my time. Yeah. Okay. All right. We're good. Yeah. Unless he changed his mind. But yeah, I mean, it felt like it felt like the game ended a minute in with Mitch Marner's goal. That was deflating, but it did. Yeah, that goal. Insane. I mean, between the legs on that pass for a breakaway, it was just nuts. Like, I thought he went between the legs and then they showed the replay and I was just like, holy crap. That was an all time move. And if that move is going to happen, you're like, well, I don't think it's going to be our night. But as a Ducks fan, I am proud of the team. We hadn't made the playoffs since 2017. So to come back with a young, exciting team, we knocked out Mick Jesus in the playoffs. And so we're on the right path. We have a lot of young, really good players, really up and coming stars. We've hit on draft picks with Leo Carlson and Beckett Seneca, who when you saw Beckett get drafted and his reaction was just like, why do they take me at three? Why? Why did they take me at three? Out of pads, he looks very tiny. And I was like, no, that guy's not going to do anything. And then he, and then he, he's all kind of scoring records. He's awesome. He's such a great player, like very good defensively as well. So responsible defensively. And he was one of the finalists for the Calder this year. Like I think he came in third place. Like he is, I love watching Beckett Seneca play. Yeah, scrappy player too. Not afraid to mix it up was definitely getting under some Euler skins and some night skins during the playoffs. So, yeah, it's a young, exciting team. And even more so, and hockey fans won't truly, like a lot of outside hockey fans won't understand this, but this year, the Ducks changed their logo from the old sort of black logo to the orange and black, predominantly orange. And their whole slogan at the beginning of the season was, we are orange country. And as a guy from Orange County, I can tell you that made so many fans go, yes, this is our team. This is the team we're going to support because there are some other teams in the city of Anaheim that are trying to not be from Anaheim. They are trying to be the Los Angeles angels of Anaheim, which I'm sure many comedians have made the joke that literally translates to the angels, angels of Anaheim. They drop the Anaheim though. It's just the Los Angeles angels. Yeah. Yeah. They're the Los Angeles angels. It's like you play ball like a stone's throw away from the magic kingdom. You are not Los Angeles. You are Anaheim. You are Orange County. So to have the Ducks really embrace Orange country, to have the new ownership come in, put some money into the team, the Honda Center, the pond has been refurbished. New logo. They have, we were one of the last teams to have those effects on ice before the game for pregame. We have duck drones that are flying around the Honda Center as before the game. There's lasers going off. Like it's a party man. And it also in between, in between the action, they play like Orange County punk rock music. Like there's a lot of offspring. There's a lot of social distortion. There's a lot of lit. There's a lot of, there's even a lot of Pennywise being played. They're from Long Beach. So it's like that really embraced the team to Orange County and the fans have appreciated that and they're coming out. So we're really happy. We're really thankful that we have a young, exciting hockey team in Anaheim. Well, obviously the Pacific division was really, really bad this season. But despite that, it was really a surprising and refreshing site to see the ducks actually make the playoffs. And that's why Paperee, Paperee, for Beak is nominated for the GM of the year award and Jim Gregory award. So you look at this future now in this young club. Where do you see the team going? I hope that we get a few more vets on the team. John Carlson was an excellent pickup for the ducks this year from the capitals midseason. He was really, it helped to have a good veteran leadership in there, a guy who's won a cup. So yeah, the younger players are just going to get better. Becket Seneca is going to get better. Leo Carlson is going to get better. And also we have Lightning McQueen, our draft pick last year, who is going to come up and hopefully, hopefully we hit on him as well. So it's really exciting to see where this team is going. I'm kind of on the fence about goal tending. Dostal was very streaky. He's led in some soft ones. So, but it, goal tending for me is a lot like your NFL quarterback. Like, all right, you might want a new quarterback, but then who are you going to bring in? And who's better? Like, so if you make the switch, it's got to be someone better. So you can't just say, we want a new goalie or we want a new quarterback and then not have anyone improve at the position. So if they do go another way in goal, it has to be someone who is better than Dostal, which Dostal is like the, in my opinion, like a Ryan Tannehill of goalies where it's like, he's just, he's just good enough to keep where you're like, yeah, he's, he's Ryan Tannehill. He's Kirk Cousins to make those, to make those comparisons. You like that? Still young though. He's still young and improving. Like, I think he can, he showed a lot of flashes this year, Brad, but yeah, very, definitely very streaky. And you saw that in the playoffs and it kind of came back to bite you guys. Yeah. Yeah. If you're giving up three, four goals a game in the playoffs and you have a young team around you, that's really tough to overcome. I mean, in the Edmonton series, I think only one game, the Ducks scored first. They were behind in every game in that series. So that's really hard for a young team to continue to do that. So, and you saw it, you saw it again with the Knights. I mean, last night, three goals in the first period and you're just sitting there like, like we blinked and it was done. So yeah, that's something that just has to improve. But I love Coach Q. I think he's got, he's changed the culture around the team. And it's a really exciting franchise, which I am really happy to be a fan of. And my advice and my advice to every C or D list celebrity out there is become a fan of a team that doesn't have any celebrity fans. You got to, that's the way to go. Because if I was a Kingsman, I'm behind Will Ferrell, I'm behind Justin Bieber, I'm behind Kurt Russell. Like I'm not getting any tickets. They're not doing anything for me. But the Ducks, it's like me and Trey Cool from Green Day. And it's not a bad cow part. That's a good show. Amen. Trey is a friend. So that helped. But now the Ducks are good. So as a Bronco fan, you see the helmet above me. Akeem Tlaib was at the game last night wearing a Ducks jersey. That was awesome. And Adam Devine has come by and as a fellow comedian, he's starting to root for the Ducks. And the band, The Offspring does their goal song and they come to games. There's an Offspring night every year where they have alternative jerseys. So we are getting some celebrity firepower and I keep texting my Ducks contact going, don't forget who was here. Don't forget who was here. That was going to say, do you get Grandfathered in? Yeah, I hope so. There's a lot of celebrities in LA. Like what happens if like some A-listers like, oh, I love the Ducks. And what happens if like Leo is suddenly like showing up at Ducks games? They're not going to disrespect you in that case. Do not tell Leonardo DiCaprio about the quality of women in Orange County, California. Do not. Are they under 26? Yeah. As a 42 year old, I probably shouldn't even answer this question. Yeah, but we, there's a lot of young attractive women in Orange County, California. And so don't tell Leo about them. Don't don't tell some of the some of the Laker fans to go south to behind the Orange Curtain. Please don't do that because I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying the fact that the Ducks are really nice to me and hooking me up. And they've got me down into the tunnel where my daughter held up her hand during the entrance and you just saw a bunch of Ducks players just giving her high fives, which was the absolute best until I realized, ah, my daughter's also a dwarf. They probably think she's a make-a-wish kid. Oh, but they're, they're, they're a young, exciting team, man. And I love being a Ducks man right now. Yeah. Get your head around. Listen. Remember to check out live on short street at Brad Williams comedy on YouTube and Brad's podcast heightened babble. That's Brad Williams, know the Ducks fan, and unfortunately he's going to have to suffer throughout the rest of this off season with the rest of us. Thank you, Brad, for joining us. Of course, man. Always a pleasure. Chris Cody, when you come over to my house and we put on the games, I got basketball, I got baseball going on, but what do I lay out for you and the boys for entertainment and drinking? Miller lag.

Oh, when you open that with the can though, and you, one of the best sounds on the planet, you pair that with the right game. You take that first sip, we both look around. It's not a bit. I have goosebumps thinking about the first sip. We take that first sip, we open it up and we're looking around. There's just that five seconds of almost eerie silence where you're just soaking it all in. Man, did we make the right color? What? That's why we reach for Miller light.

I know it well. It's usually when I show up, everybody goes crazy. Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with quarevo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quarevo is a thing that turns hanging out into This is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it, but again, it's the quarevo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up hooting and hollering. Keep it quarevo. Quarevo, baby. Okay, before we get out of here, if I don't bring this off campus show up right now, Rosie, who forced us to watch this show is most likely going to bring out a hockey skating slice of my throat. And I don't want that happening to me. So we are going to talk about this. Yes, she's very violent. She's a very violent person. Yeah, so we're going to talk about this off campus show. I watched the first episode and I can already tell you that have zero interest or desire to watch this show any further. So in the words of Amino Hansen, Zach Harper, and Anthony Mays, phobe. David, what do you think? I don't know. You're bowing out? Yeah, I'm done. No, you gotta watch the whole season. I don't have to do shit. No, you don't have to. But I mean, that's what we, you know, leave you like wanting more. No, you got to hate watch it, if anything else. I don't want to hate watch anything. I live a life where I try not to hate on anything other than Sydney Crosby. And I have a nice life because of that. So I don't want to hate watch it just all right. Anyway, anyway, you know, I feel like when I was watching it, I'm going to have a hard time only because I don't have the patience for the development that's going to take a whole season for this love triangle or whatever it is that that's going to come together. And you know, I would assume that they're going to end up together at the end. But it's just going to take forever. And for me, that's what I'm not looking forward to. But in terms of like the show itself, it kind of surprised me Rose. I wasn't expecting it to be that raunchy. Not not complaining because I didn't think it was that raunchy. There was showing bear. But I also you watched you watched heated rivalry, right, Dave? I did. Compared to heated rivalry that was not very raunchy at all. Well, that's the thing. Like I only watched one episode of this. So I feel like there's more coming. Yeah, I think I've heard from people who have watched more that it does get raunchier. But that first episode was like it kind of like I wasn't expecting to walk you into the water a little bit. I wasn't expecting to have that in my face, like right then and there. So it did catch me off guard. Yeah, I think it was unnecessary. Like all the time they put the things that are necessary and the part of the friend like the friend just changed. She just walked in and took her clothes. Yeah, that was weird. That was weird. I didn't get I didn't get the point of that. Like that was like unnecessary. Yeah, that was just that was just what it is. Like what does that say in the script? Like all of these shows are all of these shows are silly though, Dave. Like it's supposed to be silly and it's like it's entertaining. Like it's silly in an entertaining way. What? Go ahead, Rosie. The actress, she's 19 and you guys have not watched a lot more. I'm not going to say more, but they do protect her. Like they have a body double. No, nothing like her. You won't see you won't see anything of her because she's 19. So I like that they're protecting her. But within the construct of the show, that seems a little weird. If everybody else is going to be taking their clothes off, but the main character isn't, I'm so sorry. I think shows don't need to show me a butt or I'm not disagreeing with that point. I will say there was a butt very early in this episode, like very early on. It was like there was a butt right like within the first minute you saw a butt and it was like, all right, like so so but it kind of from there, like it slowed a little bit. I thought it would because of how quickly there was a butt. There was way more of it. Yeah. Where are you going to go from there? Right. Yeah, I guess I just thought there would be a little more considering how quickly that was presented, but it kind of tailed off throughout the episode. But I thought it was good. I liked it. I find the characters very intriguing. Like I think that there's a lot to they set up a lot in the first episode to be developed. I only watched the first episode. I know Rose has already watched it like twice. No, I mean five, but I'm waiting for my best friends to react to it because okay. Before we get to the hockey aspects of this. What hockey aspects? The hockey. Yes, we played hockey on this show and we'll get to that in a second. But Rose, since you are the expert in this situation, why don't you give your review? Okay. So first of all, my review, I don't know if they're doing the Bridgerton thing where one of the characters looks very good and then in the next season, the other character looks good because only one of them, I think, is handsome. The only one of them. Graham. But as I was telling David, at the beginning when they put the TikTok, I was like, they're good looking, but I will not fall in love with them. Wow. I fell in love with Graham. I'm sorry. That guy. Belmont, come, camelli. Yeah. That's his name. But the acting. Belmont State's coming up soon. For a 19 year old and him, I think the acting was spot on. He's like 10 years older than her. Yeah. 10 years. You thought the acting was good. Of the leads. Roy, come on. You're not going to have like cinematic Oscar worthy acting in an Amazon Prime. I have to criticize her saying that the acting was good. Relative. You have to do relative to the outcome. It never dawned on me that it wasn't good acting. I feel like if I thought it was bad, I would have had that thought at some point and that I'd never had that thought. And if it was bad, you were cringed the entire time and I was like, hey. You know what, Rose, they distracted me with the nudity. I wasn't thinking about the acting. It's a heady play. Yeah. You know, it's a heady play by KG Vets. Let me tell you. It's a butt play. For anybody that hasn't like. What is the matter with you? This is what happens when we start getting into like these topics that are going to bring out the immaturity in me. I'm not equipped for this. But I do agree with Rose. Like I thought the acting. Yeah, I agree with you, Dave. Like there was not a point where I was ever like, like maybe like when they're dancing and singing a little bit, it was kind of cringy, but like, because I'm not like a big musical guy or anything. But I thought overall, like it was pretty solid. And it was, it didn't, it didn't really ever make me cringe at one point. Like I would do what she did with the singing. I would, yeah, the singing scene was cute. And you were dancing around with a pop. The scene was cute. Yeah. Yeah. Of course I was. I did it in the pandemic. Come on. Also, also, I was a bit confused by this. She seems to be in on the janitorial staff, but why is she in the locker room cleaning up the towels in this situation? She's like a team manager. Yeah, I think she's like an arena manager. So she like works the concession. She does, she cleans everything up. So as you understand, the main, okay, the two main characters, Garrett, he's a, he's a player and he's gonna, well, I don't know if they already mentioned where he's gonna go. And yeah, they talked about the Boston Bruins. They talked about how his dad is like one of the best. 8HL network, by the way, nice little. Yeah, right. There you go. Then you have Hannah. But Hannah, she has a scholarship, but there she needs to work. Yeah, but she needs to work three jobs. And one of the jobs, uh, it is to be like there. The other one is cleaning. And the other one is the bar. Malone's. Malone's, I believe. Malone's is the name of the bar. Yeah. Looks like a fun play. I would hang out at Malone's. That place looked fun. Ah, karaoke. Wait, hold on. Can I say that the biggest critique I had of this show is the house that they all live in is the nicest college house you'll ever see in your entire life. That is not what a dude's house in college looked like. Okay. I lived in a dude house in college. My house did not look like that. I did not know any dudes that lived in a house that looked that nice. That was not, that was my biggest critique of the show. They got to make the house a little more rundown. They tried to make it into a hockey house because they're all the, the, the showers called with the, with the condom. Yeah. But the house is like pristine. Oh, by the way, that's the other thing. What the hell are you over here carrying a used condom with a bare hand for? Well, because he just pulled it out of the shower. So it was a bare hand. We didn't know it was going to be down there. It was clean. Use gloves. Use gloves. Clean. They're teammates. This is that, that's playing into the guide trope that, that, that was going to say, that would be like the most guy thing about that is cleaning without using latex gloves. What really would have happened is he would have thrown it at whoever he thought it belonged to. That's the first thing. Like you would have walked up behind him, smacked him across the face with it and say, please don't pick up after yourself. Okay. The hockey aspect of the show. No, wait, before the hockey aspect, because so, so people know what happens is she has good grades. He doesn't. He wants her to tour him and she has a crush on a musician. So pretty much they do a deal to pretend that they're hooking up. So that's the premises. The premises. It's a, it's an interesting premise that I'm excited to see because I can, I, listen, I've watched like the, like coming up in the, you know, what's next on off campus or whatever. And I could basically tell you what's going to happen from seeing that, or at least what I expect is going to happen, which is these two are going to fall in love. They're going to have a hard time. Actually, you know, the, the, the guy she's crushing on is going to start wanting to have her and she's going to have a hard time leaving the guy and the guy, uh, Graham, uh, Garrett's going to have a whatever. It's going to be a lot of, I'm not ruining the whole thing. I'm just predicting what I expect will happen because romance, romance shows and movies tend to be very predictable. All right. The hockey aspect of this show was not good. Explain why Dave. Okay. So he's supposedly like, he's a draft pick of the Bruins. He's their best player by far. He's their new captain, even though he's just the junior. I see I'm paying attention, Rose. Uh, but then he goes out there and he has like the most mental soft game I've ever seen from anyone. But that's the thing. If he's that temperamental, he can go from like, he lost two face offs. He's throwing F bombs around. He's freaking out. He's missing one timers by five feet. And then he goes off the ice and he takes a walk. I don't know what the hell that is. He just leave the locker room. You walk to a randomly quiet part of the arena. Oh yeah. You see that? Look how pissed off he was in the first period. Like that. Like what is it? But then he comes back after seeing a little musical performance and he's taught him at David. I thought that was cute. I thought it was cute. He kind of like, you know, he had been angry because of spoiler alert. Again, if you're watching this, you were assumed they were going to be spoilers. So spoiler alert, he's upset that his dad came to visit and told him something that pissed him off right before the game. And he is having a hard time with that. But then he sees this girl living her life so freeze freely, just enjoying herself. And he's like, Oh, that's that love for hockey that I have. I need to just let myself enjoy the game. And he goes out and they ball out and win big time. vulnerability. And you know what? The shots are very cinematic. So I don't know why you remember when when that video came out, the Amazon Prime video of Conor McDavid screaming his head off in the locker room because he was so pissed off. If he would have just taken a walk instead of just take a walk. The second round of janitor girl dancing around. Would have changed on a dime. Like you had changed the whole series. Chris Knoblock would still have a job. All right. We want to thank you. Thank everybody who joined us to watch the Wild Avalanche game for game five during our Stanley Cup playoff. Watch along.

I don't know the show. Well, yeah, I feel like the communal conversation about it experience that could be fun. But I love your thoughts on the show. We're certainly going to be analyzing the elements. I've stopped just watch the hockey and nothing else. That would mean I would have to watch the episode. But that's for you. You get to the hot.
