Speaker 111.98s - 33.68s

Something has to give at VGK's home barn in Saturday's third game of the series against the stars, the team with the best road record in the National Hockey League ORG. We'll get to all that on this WTF edition of Locked on Golden Knights ORG. Your Locked on Golden Knights ORG.

So you might have to carry the show, as you usually do. We're going to see a very desperate Dallas Stars team on Saturday night at the Fortress FAC. You have to wonder how much life VGK GPE took out of the stars already building this two to nothing series advantage. But do you still have some concern that the stars should come back? This is a team in the Dallas Stars that went 26, 10, and 5 on the road thisseason. For sure. I mean, listen, the 5 on the road this season.

Speaker 0105.84s - 172.9s

For sure. I mean, listen, the stars are the number one team in the Western Conference as far as points go. So until the series is over, you have to go to up 3-0. Until the series is over, it's not over. And we've seen things take some strange turns, of course, in a Vegas Golden Night playoff hockey in the past.So the hope is that this series does not get too exciting. The mindset certainly, I mean, obviously if they can get the sweeps even better, but the mindset is hopefully win game three, if not get a split at least at home. And then obviously it's going to give you a couple of chances to close this thing out, obviously before.Hopefully a game seven would be needed. But I think that's the mindset that the Golden Knights need to have. And I think Cassidy PERSON's influence on this series, as far as what he's saying, is being felt and it's also happening out there. You saw Cassidy PERSON after game one telling the players, hey, be hungry, don't be satisfied with just coming home with the road split. Like if the Gold nights came home one to one, we'd be just as happy right now about things.Great job, good. This is perfect. Gold Knights ORG got the stars right where they want them. Well, no, now they got them down to do nothing.

Speaker 1178.72s - 201.1s

And VGK will face a team that averaged nearly four goals a game away from home. The stars are definitely going to take chances. This was a potent team offensively that, of course, as we said yesterday, VGK stifled defensively. DeBore PERSON believes his team will now simplify the approach at T-Mobile, and they need to finish, he said, yesterday in the five-on-five. He said the season is on

Speaker 0201.1s - 288.64s

the line. That's the thing. I mean, and the Golden Knights ORG need to match that desperation. There's going to be, the stars are going to have a lot of momentum throughout the game. Of course, if the Golden Knights ORG get a lead, that'll change. But you have to think this game is going to play extremely tight, which could favor both teams. Both teams are comfortable with it being a one goal game in either direction. Of course, Pete DeBore PERSON has made a lot of comments about how hard it is to come back on theGolden Knights, but a little bit of that is coach-speak. If you just go watch some of the few game logs, it's not that hard in the regular season to come back on the Vegas Golden Knights ORG. But, of course, that's without Mark Stone PERSON, who's getting healthier in the lineup. And obviously, Petrangelo missed what, 10 to the last 11 or whatever it was. So now things are certainly, everything is moving right now.Clicking in all cylinders, I was trying to find the right terminology there. And the blue circle of death got stuck spinning. Look at just some stats real fast goaltending. I feel like Audenjur PERSON hasn't necessarily letting any weak goals, but he's got a 310 goals against and an 8-50 save percentage. And that's one of the best goalies in the NHL right there, where the Golden Knights ORG are making his numbers look bad.Logan Thompson, two goals against average and a 9-2-0 safe percentage. So right now, Logan is winning the goalie battle against a pretty darn good goalie over there in Dallas ORG. So all these crazy things happening at the right time for the golden nights. Go figure, Tony PERSON. For sure.

Speaker 1288.88s - 349.16s

I saw a statistic, too. Dallas led the league in faceoff percentage on the road at 53.9%. Now, the other night, was it game two where Cassidy had said afterwards that we saw Dallas ORG pretty much on the chip and chase going off of the end boards and trying to feed the puck to themselves. Remember that. Well, in any event, we know that the backboards there, of course, T-Mobile ORG are livelier. Are we going to see one of those goals?I'll take one of those on my propette this weekend. Okay. And then Pete DeBore PERSON, again, they'll simplify things. They also have some injury concerns right now. So we saw yesterday, and I didn't see them go off the ice. I don't know if you did, but Mason Marchman could be out for this game. Radic Foxa also could be out for this game. Looking at the shift chart, so players that, like Sam Steele's PERSON last shift,

Speaker 0349.28s - 365.7s

came at 4527. There was, and then you mentioned Marchmont, his last shift was at 47.53. Fasca's last shift was 4618. So maybe there's some bench short.

Speaker 1365.9s - 369.76s

They ran into each other? What's that? Did they run into each other at the same time?

Speaker 0369.76s - 437.76s

Maybe they did all three of them, apparently. That's three players that didn't play for the last, you know, eight, nine, ten, twelve minutes of the game. And of course, DeBoer PERSON, there's some desperation to mixing and matching lines. And that's the thing. I mean, it took the Golden Knights all of, you know, two games, really five periods, if you want to get a little deeper there. It took the goal nights all five periods to havePete DeBore and the Western Conference leading Dallas ORG stars scrambling and looking for answers. And that's not to say that DeBore can't do the same to Cassidy PERSON in these next couple of games. I know it feels pretty good right now as far as the Golden Knights ORG and their fans are concerned and such, but the series could still have a lot of life left to it, and hopefully it doesn't make it to a sixth game. If it makes it to a sixth game, of course, there's going to be some concern, obviously.You'd have to think at least the Golden Knights ORG will be looking to lock the series down on that sixth game. Otherwise, that means the stars went on a three-game winning streak, which would kind of suck right now. But that's what playoff hockey is all about. It's just crazy things that do and can and will happen.And it's going to, I don't know, I don't know. Maybe it'll happen. Maybe it won't happen, Tony PERSON. I don't know. We'll see.

Speaker 1437.84s - 449.32s

VGK with the injury concerns of their own Nick Hague day-to-day, miss game two. And based on the way that Logan Thompson PERSON said, yeah, it really was tough to see him go down like that, whatever.

Speaker 0449.58s - 450.62s

You caught that too good.

Speaker 1451.08s - 453.64s

Yeah, it didn't sound like, it didn't seem like it was good, right?

Speaker 0454.6s - 486.78s

You caught that, yeah. It was concerning. And maybe there's a little, little bromance happening there, just two guys that have kind of been under the microscope a little bit throughout this season. So maybe there's just a little bit of that support happening from two players who know what it's like to be kind of on the outside looking in. Right.I mean, Logan, it took Logan Thompson to game 83 and 84 to get two consecutive starts. Logan never got consecutive starts in the regular season with a healthy Aiden Hill PERSON behind him.

Speaker 1487.48s - 496.58s

And now a sudden when it matters the most, games 83 and 84, Logan's the man. So it also tells you that the Golden Knights wanted Aden Hill PERSON to be the man.

Speaker 0496.7s - 524.78s

They gave the goal. Aiden Hill had every opportunity to keep his nets. I say his net because it was his net for 82 games. And I think just that Ducks game was finally the point where Sean Burke PERSON was like, I got no choice. There's no choice. I mean, Sean Burke had no choice but to run Logan Thompson PERSON out there.And for two, through two games, of course, everyone's happy. That's the case. Logan's going to get an absolute rousing ovation on Saturday night of T-Mobile ORG.

Speaker 1524.88s - 543.54s

You know who else we'll get one? Loudest he's ever going to get. Go ahead, Tony, go ahead. I'm going to get an absolute rousing ovation on Saturday night, a T-Mobile ORG. Do you know who else will get one? Loudest he's ever going to get. Go ahead, Tony PERSON, go ahead. William Carrier PERSON. William Carrier PERSON, because everyone just wants to spend money to go see him play so that. Nick Waugh blocked a pass the other night.That knee, don't know if that. We'll see if he's on the ice today because that was a blast.

Speaker 0544.54s - 561.68s

Probably fine. I don't think he's on the ice today because that was a blast. Probably fine. I don't think there's going to be any concerns. I mean, there's only four shifts for the entire fourth line in the third period. So I don't think, I mean. The burrito line? Are you talking about the burrito line?Beredo line. There we go.

Speaker 1561.82s - 569.34s

I like that. The burrito line, new name, burrito line. I like that. Alec Martinez PERSON, will he stay in the lineup tonight, Saturday night?

Speaker 0570.12s - 622s

I mean, gosh, if Nick Hague PERSON is healthy, will he stay in the lineup? Is the question? And let's just assumeNick Hague PERSON goes back in. Do you go Hague PERSON and Martinez on the same line and bump White Cloud PERSON? I don't know. White Cloud did have a nice moment with that kind of 360 thing that created the goal for for Noah Hannafin eventually. Hague PERSON was taking some hits to make some plays. I'll acknowledge that at least when Hague was to, excuse me, when White Cloud PERSON was taking those hits, it was in attempts to make plays and move the puck.I'll give him credit for that. I will not give them any credit for the multiple turnovers that we're seeing, though, right now. I got to think Martinez stays in the lineup and then Will PERSON, do you go Martinez and Hague PERSON, lefty and lefty? I don't know if Coach Cassidy PERSON likes that idea, though.

Speaker 1622.06s - 622.46s

I don't know.

Speaker 0623.06s - 631.56s

The Burrito brothers have shown up, though, in this series. The fourth liners for vgk ORG uh they were non-existent uh for the past few games here down the

Speaker 1631.56s - 663s

stretch and cassidy likes the way that vgk is playing through the first couple of games not chasing the stars again he pointed that out yesterday and homies a major factor for the VGK GPE. And sometimes, you know, those honey-do lists there, they grow really large. And we don't know on Friday how deep that's going to go. How many people need tickets? And again, it could have some impact on this game.And if the country club environment definitely, you know, sets in for the VGK GPE.

Speaker 0664s - 758.2s

I mean, it might rain today. So it could be some car washing happening at City National FAC. We'll kind of wait and see about that. Looking at the Golden Knights last games at home, I'm throwing out the Anaheim Ducks ORG game. That game was absolutely meaningless. The only game that might have meant something to was Aden Hill PERSON, but I don't even know if that honestly mattered at that point. So throw out the Anaheim Ducks ORG game.The Golden Knights beat the Hawks ORG, beat the avalanche, beat the Wilde, beat the Canucks ORG, beat the Blue Jackets, beat the Cracken PERSON, lost to the Tamp Bay Lightning ORG in a game they should have won, but Aden Hill PERSON had a terrible game, call it what it is. Then they beat the Devils ORG.Then they beat the Red Wings ORG. So that's what, eight of nine, eight of ten, however you want to slice that up. So again, things lining up when it matters for the Golden Knights ORG, including down the stretch, including at home. So, I mean, if the Golden Knights ORG are comfortable playing on the road and, you know,going up two over, earning those splits and coming back to the fortress where things do line up. I mean, I guess the biggest thing is for the Golden Knights ORG to get through the first five minutes without overdoing it and just keeping a nice and simple game, letting the game come to them because the Stars ORG obviously, they're going to come shot out of a cannon, right? You know you're going to get the Star ORG's best effort. They're going to get their best shot. And if the Golden Knights can survive that first four or five minutes and then gets to their game slowlythroughout the first period, find a way to get a greasy one. All of a sudden, the stars are thinking about what life is going to be like on Monday night or Tuesday when their season could possibly end. Coming up

Speaker 1758.2s - 886.48s

next, they've got everyone figured out. That's myself and Chris PERSON and a coach as well. We'll get to that. We return right here on this edition, this WTF edition of Locked-on Golden Knights ORG.

Speaker 1923.48s - 962.9s

Welcome back on this edition of Lockdown Golden Knights,, Tony Kradasco, and Chris Golic from Las Vegas. Thanks for making us your first lesson every day. We appreciate you doing so. Tomorrow, of course, is the Chris PERSON and Chris show. And that is the YouTube ORG exclusive. Please subscribe there.Yeah, the voice is a little shaky today. Why you ask? Why? Because I was with the Raider fans last night, you know, at the party, the draft party. You're being a fan boy with the Raiders ORG at the draft party, got it. Yeah, I had it. Well, anytime I have an opportunity to boo in public, you know I'm going to take advantage of that.

Speaker 0963.24s - 965.68s

Well, I'm sure there's plenty of booing at a Raiders draft day party.

Speaker 1966.28s - 971.24s

It was so bad. It was so bad.

Speaker 0971.64s - 973.06s

Was it tight end in the first round?

Speaker 1974s - 1033.98s

Yeah, they went with Brock Bowers PERSON, the tight end. And I did not have him in my mock draft. I like some people going, yeah, I had him in my mock draft. No, you didn't. No, you did not. No, you did not. Okay, you get the feeling that Bruce Cassidy is enjoying this postseason once again. VGK GPE.up to nothing still wants the Golden Knights ORG he does to push and the Golden Knights now fueled by momentum. Here is a situation where Pete DeBore, he looked in the presser as hung over as he did the day of the All-Star game. Remember when he was the head coach here? In any event, yeah, Pete PERSON looks a little bit battered, if you will. So he's not really, he's not mincing words, and he looks like he's really defeated and just beaten down by the VGK GPE, his team cannot solve the Golden Knights. Remember, I asked you, do the Golden Knights have Dallas ORG's number?Yes, and then some.

Speaker 01035.24s - 1064.2s

What is this, nine wins in a row or something, whatever the number is dating back to last year's postseason. It's definitely, I mean, in the two games they dropped, I mean, we're desperation situations. So, you know, like I have the press conference up right here because I was listening to it earlier before we started the show. And I don't have the audio on,but I'm just watching his eyes right now. And I'm not going to say he's hungover. Stop it. But maybe the same kind of feeling you get, maybe feeling guilty when you're hung over about, oh, I'm never drinking again.

Speaker 11064.3s - 1066.5s

Maybe that's kind of what the game. Guilty games.

Speaker 01067.08s - 1178.52s

The board did not have a guilty game, but stop it. I understand what you're saying. He definitely looks, he looks like a coach that's down to, oh, that had very high expectations. And someone did ask the question about, you know, the stars having your number, or the Golden Knights ORG having your number, meaning the star's number.And right away, they've got everyone figured out when, um, when, uh, the media member asked if the Golden Knights having your number, meaning the Star ORG's number. And right away, they've got everyone figured out when the media member asked if the Golden Knights have the Stars ORG figured out. And that comment right there, and then you watch his tone, his mannerism, all the stuff that you just said, it is certainly concerning. I don't know what you want as a fan when your team is down two to nothing in the Stanley Cup playoffs playoffs no matterwhat the circumstances are but a coach that just looks defeated already which I think is a safe way to put it. I don't think that's what I want when my team is down to oh. I don't know if I want a million cliches and you got to win one game at a time, win one period and whatever all that nonsense is. I don't think I need any of that, but a backbone maybe. I just feel like DeBoer PERSON did not show much of a backbone. And it's, this is Pete DeBoer PERSON.Like, it is what is it? If Pete DeBoer's PERSON plan A doesn't work, he's not good at finding a plan B. No. And Bruce Cassidy, I think, has Pete DeBore PERSON looking for a plan C and a plan B right now. That's not Pete DeBore's PERSON strength at all. Pete DeBore PERSON's got a very good plan when it works.But when Pete DeBore PERSON has to adjust and change, and again, I mean this with some respect and disrespect at the same time, maybe the reason the stars were better on the road is because you don't play the matchups as much. You try and get them out there. But every time there's a whistle, the home team gets the last change and the stars just roll out their players. So maybe that's why they are a little bit better on the road. Maybe that's justwhat the reality is of Pete DeVore as a coach. And, you know, Cassidy PERSON said that his team now just

Speaker 11178.52s - 1199.3s

needs to stick to the script. And part of that script has been physicality. I mean, this is a VGK team now that, remember, like, in the playoffs last year, VGK GPE, this is me, too finesse, way too finesse. I don't think they're going to win the cup because they're not a hard hitting team. And when they play against the East LOC, they're just going to get.

Speaker 01199.38s - 1203.24s

Was that starting in the playoffs or was that before the rate playoffs started last season when you said that?

Speaker 11203.24s - 1213.98s

Right before the playoffs. And perhaps during as well, you you know because i wanted some clicks from edmonton so they could have been during that series too but i handled that part i handled that i got

Speaker 01213.98s - 1218.74s

the edmonton people over yeah they give you all the ink there in edmonton amazing see if we

Speaker 11218.74s - 1228.32s

even see edmonton it'd be great it'd be great i'd love to see Edmonton. I hope. I hope Edmonton gets there. Edmonton, Vegas GPE would be awesome, but there's a lot of things need to happen before that.

Speaker 01230.48s - 1242.3s

It's crazy how the playoffs do bring out the best in all the players, including the Golden Knights ORG, and not just the Golden Knights, a lot of players around the NHL, but the Golden Knights have the pedigree in the players.

Speaker 11242.46s - 1250.74s

And this is even before they won the Stanley Cup EVENT. There was a lot of experience in that locker room about getting close or deep playoff runs and such.

Speaker 01250.84s - 1252.16s

So they know what it takes.

Speaker 11252.16s - 1260.14s

And now, obviously, with all the new Stanley Cup EVENT rings that are inside of their locker room stalls or wherever they keep them and stuff like that,

Speaker 01260.18s - 1262.94s

now they have even more of that experience.

Speaker 11263.34s - 1267.1s

And this is something that we talked about probably early in the season, right?

Speaker 01267.14s - 1269.34s

And just the Golden Knights were bored in the regular season.

Speaker 11269.5s - 1270.18s

Call it what it is.

Speaker 01270.24s - 1273.62s

Do you go from that cup run?

Speaker 11273.72s - 1274.82s

You go from the parades.

Speaker 01274.92s - 1277.28s

You go from a summer of partying and everything.

Speaker 11277.4s - 1278.86s

And now you've got to play hockey games again.

Speaker 01278.94s - 1280.08s

Like I say, like it's a bad thing.

Speaker 11280.16s - 1283.08s

But the reality is it's a little less exciting.

Speaker 01283.24s - 1283.9s

You know, I'm a bowler.

Speaker 11284.02s - 1288.2s

I don't bowl much anymore. But there's a much different feeling when I go to Samstown

Speaker 01288.2s - 1292.7s

on a Tuesday night for a bowling league that I do not want to be at versus doing my yearly

Speaker 11292.7s - 1293.5s

national tournament.

Speaker 01293.56s - 1309.64s

It's exciting, right? It gets your blood going and stuff. And same thing in the NHL Stanley Cup EVENT playoffs, right? The Golden Knights know what it's like to climb that mountain. They know what comes with it. They know the fun that comes with it.Keegan Colstar PERSON doesn't care about the confetti, but he wants more beer, as he told me back at the win before the season started.

Speaker 11309.96s - 1311.14s

Beer and burritos.

Speaker 01311.62s - 1313.54s

Beer and burritos, B&B ORG, the B&B.

Speaker 11313.84s - 1315.32s

Sounds like a restaurant. Tony PERSON, there you go.

Speaker 01315.98s - 1318.62s

B&B by K&K&KKKKKKKalasar ORG.

Speaker 11318.88s - 1320.68s

Or burritos and beer, whatever.

Speaker 01321.16s - 1324.2s

So point being is the Golden Knights ORG are turning the light on right now.

Speaker 21324.36s - 1337.66s

It's exciting hockey. This is why they grinded out the regular season. And now it's a different team. This is not the same Golden Knights team for games one through 82. And I don't want to go to the LTIR route. That's not what that was intended to do.

Speaker 01338.06s - 1346.58s

But the reality is this is a different roster, a better roster, and a roster just as good as any of the other 15 teams that are still in this daily cup playoffs.

Speaker 11347.14s - 1358.72s

55 hits, 55 hits in game number two, if that's all valid there. 55 hits, and that's probably about what they did in about five or six games at one point this season. That's a season.

Speaker 01358.96s - 1361.36s

It's got to be a season. You're going to playoff hockey, Tony PERSON. That's fun.

Speaker 11362.06s - 1379.16s

Okay, that has to be. The buzzword around VGK GPE land now is what? What would you say the word of the day is? Burrito. Burrito PERSON, it's up there. That's up there.That was number two. Composure. Composure is the new buzzword around VGK GPE land where.

Speaker 01379.3s - 1381.52s

Your word is that way you just run the broadcasts?

Speaker 11381.88s - 1392.64s

No, that's what, no, this is what Cassidy PERSON's been saying. This is what the players are saying. Hadnepen said at the other night, the team's showing composure. That is the word, bro.

Speaker 01393.24s - 1399.64s

Fine, but I don't see that as, like, I don't see the stars doing anything to take away their composure.

Speaker 11399.8s - 1402.42s

Like, it doesn't, maybe that's why they're preaching that.

Speaker 01402.42s - 1405.42s

The first, the first period the other night in game two.

Speaker 11405.68s - 1408.68s

It was a good period, but there wasn't a lot of after whistle stuff.

Speaker 01408.68s - 1410.02s

It had to be composed.

Speaker 11411.22s - 1416.12s

Did you know that the Golden Knights are the least panelized team in the NHL ORG?

Speaker 01416.52s - 1417.82s

I'm sure that's a piggin' rigged.

Speaker 11418.44s - 1420.76s

Oh, wait, I was going to use that in the third segment.

Speaker 01421.3s - 1422.54s

Ah, it's so rigged.

Speaker 11424.58s - 1425.76s

Cassidy PERSON has taught. Set up rigged. Cassidy has taught...

Speaker 01425.76s - 1426.7s

Set up, Tony PERSON.

Speaker 11427.84s - 1429.22s

Cassidy PERSON has taught his team

Speaker 01429.22s - 1430.94s

how to trip over sticks, okay?

Speaker 11432.68s - 1433.74s

Set up, Tony PERSON.

Speaker 01434.46s - 1436.46s

What adjustments are we going to see

Speaker 11436.46s - 1438.36s

in game number three?

Speaker 01438.96s - 1439.92s

Set up, Tony PERSON.

Speaker 11440.64s - 1442.4s

Are they going to show composure?

Speaker 21443.1s - 1444.18s

Are they going to show composure?

Speaker 11444.98s - 1448.94s

I think, honestly, simplify as a word that I like better.

Speaker 21449.14s - 1455.4s

I think the Golden Knights ORG are going to do their best as where does the sounds not to feed off the home crowd,

Speaker 01455.56s - 1458.82s

not to be over-amped and over-energized early on.

Speaker 11459.08s - 1460.8s

Team Mobile ORG is going to be a frigging party.

Speaker 01460.92s - 1470.6s

It always is. And this is obviously a unique situation where the Gold nights are coming home up to O to start their home games. So the gold nights need to, like

Speaker 11470.6s - 1475.18s

you said, I guess composure maybe is the word. I mean, I'm losing my not to say it, but I don't know.

Speaker 01475.32s - 1479.66s

Composuring up next. Yeah, I'm losing my composure. Coming up next, it's WTF, what the Friday.

Speaker 11480.1s - 1483.2s

Stay with right here on lockdown golden nights. Composure.

Speaker 01484.38s - 1489.82s

I have a very much composed side, but I also have a competitive side, as Chris PERSON will tell you.

Speaker 11490.16s - 1605.66s

Back on this edition of Locked on Golden Knights, Tony Kredasco, and Chris Golic from Las Vegas. Thanks for making us your first listen to our to the Chris Times Chris Jr. PERSON show, the YouTube exclusive. It's that time of the week again. Time for WTF.And as we know, Chris does not know who J.R. Ewing PERSON is. So who shot J.R. But then they came out with the hashtag, who shot Tony PERSON, I think, too. That was kind of funny. But Tyler, Tyler Sagan PERSON, of the stars, hey, if you have a chance, try to find where Cassidy tries to pronounce Sagan PERSON's last name.It's loads of laughter.

Speaker 01605.9s - 1608.34s

I used to call him Sagan PERSON. I got drilled for that.

Speaker 11609.1s - 1639.3s

So Sagan of the Stars said he did not really enjoy the Dallas fans booing Mark Stone PERSON. He came out and said that. That's the only thing he said in this entire postseason tournament because I haven't even heard his name for quite out loud. He said sometimes getting booed gets you going. He said when he was booed in Winnipeg, it used to lead to his best nights. WTF could backfire on those stars fans.Sure, whatever.

Speaker 01640.4s - 1688.04s

Yeah, I get what he's saying, but I mean, I don't know, I think they have more important things to worry about than the crowd response. All right. Mick Kern, great, great media personality on the NHL ORG network. Someone I love interacting with, a lot of fun. He posted something about his show, something Golden Knights ORG related, and someone made an LTIR comment.And he's got the best possible way to handle this. Enough. Learn the facts. Go away. Say it again. It's one, two, three, four.Six words. Enough. Learn the facts. Go away. That's it. That is the best way to handle anyone that wants to fire those LTIR shots and cap circumventionshots and all of that. Enough. Learn the facts. Go away. WTF.

Speaker 11689.04s - 1705.2s

WTF from our guy at E-runs, Eric Ravbers PERSON. WTF, I have money on Vegas Bjorn scoring over one and a half goals for the series. And he is getting rigged out of ENGs. They don't even have them on ENG1 PRODUCT anymore, this guy.

Speaker 21706.06s - 1708.66s

Shut up, Tony PERSON. Thanks, brother.

Speaker 11708.86s - 1718.1s

Of course, the reason why Pete DeBore PERSON lost his job here was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Marsha So, the owner, and Vegas Bjorn PERSON, WTF.

Speaker 01718.28s - 1725.52s

They get downgraded from BLTs PRODUCT. What I say? You said peanut butter and jelly. Yeah, whatever.

Speaker 11725.78s - 1725.98s

Okay.

Speaker 01727.3s - 1730.12s

WTF, okay, this is so rigged.

Speaker 11730.2s - 1735.74s

This is beyond rigged. Hashtag rigged. Okay. Rig.

Speaker 21735.74s - 1746.2s

Rig. Rig. Rig. Rig. Rig. Rig.Rig. They schedule the stinking playoffs, right?

Speaker 11746.62s - 1766.88s

The way the schedule falls, VGK GPE has extra time here at home. And then they put this Dallas team, which is beating down and probably boozing it up here in Vegas GPE. A couple of nights in Vegas for the Dallas ORG stars in between games. Vegas GPE flu is alive and well.

Speaker 01767.98s - 1771.28s

Or every team has two traveled days between games.

Speaker 11771.4s - 1771.76s

Okay.

Speaker 01772.14s - 1792.48s

Oh, yeah. So far from Dallas ORG. I can't, I mean, teams coming in from Dallas ORG on the tail end of the back to back. That's okay, but this is not. Okay. And then the other thing, too, we know that Bruce Cassidy PERSON, WTF, is checking out our tweets before he hits the podium.We saw that the other night. WTF, Ben PERSON, but don't break.

Speaker 11792.6s - 1819.08s

I mean, I haven't heard him say that all year long. And then Chris tweets it out, in game, and then Bruce PERSON goes up on the podium. You saw him checking his phone, WTF, looking at the tweets. WTF from at Darth Tommy 774, not putting the cart before the horse, but it's shaping up to be a finals rematch.What say you? Wouldn't the league love to see this? I think so. WTF.

Speaker 01819.24s - 1823.9s

That was my bracket that I filled out. I did put Vegas over Florida GPE again.

Speaker 11824.74s - 1829.7s

I like to see my Rangers in VGK GPE. Oh, my goodness. What would I be like?

Speaker 01829.82s - 1918.42s

I would have a hard time not making a trip to New York GPE for that with my son. But we'll let's hope the carts being before the horse or something like that there because it would be really expensive, WTF for that one. Okay, so there's this video going around. Alec Martinez PERSON, this amazing slidingbehind the back deflection of a centering pass that might have saved a goal and changed the course of history for game two of the first round between the stars and the GoldenKnights. Why did that play have to happen? Because Zach White Cloud PERSON made a terrible turnover at the blue line. That's the one thing about this play that no one is acknowledging when this video pops up on your timelines and feeds on Twitter or Facebook or X or Instagram ORG, wherever you want to find it. No one is acknowledging the Zach White Cloud PERSON situation there. So we're being tough onWhite Cloud PERSON for a reason. Why? Because it's the playoffs. It's the playoffs. The stuff needs to be acknowledged and pointed out. And if there is one weakness right now in the six defensemen, it's him. And it's a good thing he's on the bottom pairing because hopefully he's got some time to iron this out. But White Cloud PERSON has been a different version of himself. Now, same breath. He's been doing some good things on the offensive side of the blue line, which is fine.But you still got to take care of home base. And he still is not doing a good job. So WTF, White Cloud PERSON, but hopefully he'll get better. WTF.

Speaker 11918.86s - 1923.44s

This is from at DJ Krister ORG, Christofer.

Speaker 01924.4s - 1930.58s

C-H-R-E-R-T-O-L-P-H-E-R. Is this your burner?

Speaker 11931.18s - 1961.68s

No, it can be, because you said something nice about me. Tony PERSON, you are in, can we get some violin music in the background or something. You are important for the podcast and for the fans. It's good to have some objectivity once in a while. Just wish that you liked Wild Bill PERSON more, WTF. And that's not going to happen.And Wild Bill, one shot on goal through two games. He's so important for this team. Shut up, Tony PERSON!

Speaker 21964.58s - 1966.1s

Out of his thinking mind.

Speaker 11966.18s - 1974.82s

He's playing so well. Remember, he blamed D'Bore PERSON for lack of creativity. Wouldn't allow him to be creative. That was the best line ever.

Speaker 01975.38s - 1977.06s

DeBore PERSON's system did a be in.

Speaker 11977.38s - 1984.16s

Coach D'Killa PERSON. We appreciate everyone tuning in. We'll have on the Twitter ORG,

Speaker 01984.92s - 1985s
