You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Yeah, okay, first of all, that cracks me up because we talked to Nathan McKinnon after the game, and he's like, listen, I don't know much about politics, but I know Canada and USA is kind of a thing right now. That cracked me up. It's like a thing. But, yes, it was a thing at TD Garden. Definitely booze for old Canada, but people were there. But then there were cheers, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Like, there was a lot of Canadians in the lower bowl, and... Obviously, when the momentum shifted to Canada, like they showed up and they showed out. But at the same time, everything was extremely loud. Like I talk about I was at Game 7 of Maple Leafs versus Bruins years ago. Like it got as loud as that, maybe a little bit louder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Yeah. Oh, isn't it always? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
No. This is Canadian. Like, this game, them winning was just kind of emblematic of, like, you know what? Team USA can improve and improve and improve, but hockey is still Canada's game. And I think... Like obviously Montreal is just hours away from Boston. So that was a good geographical rivalry type thing. And I know a lot of people from America that went to Canada for the other games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
So I just think at the end of the day, hockey is very Canadian. And you kind of saw that with the representation there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Oh, what a great take. Absolutely. And also just, they kind of succumbed to the drama around it where Team Canada, and you saw, okay, in the media, there was a lot of questions asked about, oh, how are you feeling about this moment? Like, where does it compare to everything? And Sidney Crosby said something before
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
The championship game that just made me realize, all right, like this is little brother moment for USA. He's like, you know what? I've been involved in a lot of big moments. It's so true. And every like everybody on USA was like fighting for their lives. And I don't know. I liked Brandon Hagel kind of on Team Canada, Tampa Bay Lightning. You may know him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
said he's playing for, obviously, the Leaf and the Jersey and not the group chat or whatever. That was kind of... That's the mentality that a team that gets it needs to have. And, I mean, I loved the antics to some degree. You know, I love Matthew Kachuk, and I love... When he was asked about that group chat thing, Brandon Ingle said, we don't have a group chat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
And Kachuk's like, well, maybe they don't like each other. That's hilarious. And these chirps back and forth are needed to grow the game. But at the same time, you end up a little brother when you can't pull it off at the end, even though this is the closest hockey game I've ever seen in my life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Great question. I don't think so because of the trend of how hockey is growing in America. Like you look at the percentage of guys that are American born from 10 years ago and it's at least like 10 or 15 percent higher. So I feel like the game has been exploding in the U.S. So I think it's just going to get better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
But I think this was kind of like a measuring stick of, OK, we thought we were absolutely there and we're not quite yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Yeah. And it's a shame because, I mean, at TD Garden, there were Johnny Hockey fans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
chants and tributes and you know what like the team itself was talking about him and thinking about him every day but in such a politically charged environment it really is like they lost focus about a lot of things and that's the most important one sir one of the least surprising things that happened last night was sydney or was connor david now you better not say sydney crosby please don't say that name he did was connor david the new sydney crosby the new daddy of canadian uh
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
I think there were a lot of fans that aren't from Boston that ended up going to the game, first of all. I think people are idiots in general. People were very much idiots about this game. And Brad Marchand is somebody who is okay with being booed. You know what I mean? Like, he has been booed in every single atmosphere he's been in. So I think Bruins fans do know that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
But the McDavid point, I don't know. I was thinking about this. Like, I know there were tons of new USA hockey fans watching this game. And I... I was thinking, oh, my God, maybe they're disappointed that USA couldn't pull it off. But they got to see the absolute best hockey player in the world do what he has not been able to do thus far on the biggest stage.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
So that's just the best hockey you're going to get. So USA hockey fans that just started watching during this tournament, you got to see something great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
We were talking to McKinnon after the game, and he's like, yeah, I mean, you can't leave Connor wide open. He just said that. Like, he's not even trying to flex. He's just like, he was wide open. What's he going to do? Score. And it was a tough tournament and kind of a tough season for Matthews right now. He's fighting something. I don't know what. They tried to fix it in Germany.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
I don't know if they did. I don't know if he's sick. He seemed sick when we were talking to him. Like, everybody here is sick. I sound sick. I'm a little sick, clearly. But... I think something's going on with Matthews, and you just can't leave Connor McDavid that open.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
I don't believe that at all. I think his agent is really good at negotiating in the public, too. And I think it depends. I know Tom Dundon and the Carolina Hurricanes are very much negotiators themselves in the way a lot of NHL agents are. So it's going to be hardball for a minute here. And I think we're in such a no man's land when it comes to the salary cap rising and renting in
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
everybody wants to test the market. Why wouldn't you? It's increasing. We don't know if Carolina is going to spend to the cap. They have been right now, but like it took them a few years to get there to this position where they're spending to the cap. So it's all interesting with the salary cap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
And I would think it wouldn't be about bad vibes in Carolina or anything like that if rented and test the market. It's just who you'd be crazy not to test this market when the salary cap's jumping more than it has in a decade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Oh, my God. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's Mike Milbury throwing a shoe in the crowd. Oh, wow. I think Hebrewans are extremely disappointed and frustrated with the way this was handled with Team USA. I think you don't specifically make that statement that they did with our naming their medic by name and title in a tweet. Like, why are you putting that out to the public? Because you are mad. But...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
it feels like maybe this didn't have to get as bad as it did. And you're looking at, there's a ton of kind of injuries and question marks with guys. You got Kachuk on Team USA, and maybe you're questioning a little bit, like, how did they pick the staff? And was that the correct decision? But I think the Bruins would say no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Personally, I have wanted them to get a new goalie since I came out of the womb. I'm like, can you please just trade for a goalie? Can you do something? And they just like are adamant about having the best defense of all time and like a slightly above average goaltender. I think the Anderson situation is so precarious that you have to. And they would love somebody like Gibson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Like that's kind of when I look at the Hurricanes, I'm like, that seems like a safe bet. They like safe players that have had
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
veteran insurance they can they can see and gibson he's itching for the playoffs i think that'd be a great thing but are they going to do it i don't know why wouldn't you you look at what the avalanche did we're like all right we'll simply get two new goaltenders in two weeks and we're an entirely different team i think that gives everybody else the allowance to try it sarah real quick i'm gonna give you five teams you're gonna pick two of them that are gonna make the playoffs the ottawa senators the detroit red wings the columbus blue jackets the boston bruins and the new york rangers who makes the playoffs
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Red Wings, Blue Jackets. Blue Jackets might be biased because I love the story and the vibe around them. But they have dealt with so much adversity and so many injuries. And they have not a great team. If you think about comparatively to the teams that they are beating, it's like they are underdog and they're injured. But Boone Jenner's coming back. They got people coming back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
And Don Waddell said he's not necessarily... selling at the deadline anymore. So I think if he can buy... He said he's going to prove to this team that they deserve to be there and maybe buy. So I'm like, if he's going to do that, give them that vote of confidence, that's great. The Red Wings, ever since they got a new coach, it's like they learned how to play hockey again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
They have one of the best power play units of all time. Like, watching this, I'm almost mad at them for, like, what did they do to just turn this on? It can't be just as simple as getting a new coach, but I guess it was. But they... they showed they're significantly better and they're trending upwards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
All right, USA, oh my God, everyone's going to listen to this. I'm USA hater number one. That's not true. I love my country because I can criticize my country, okay? So number four, Team USA. That just looks like a fake knockoff jersey to me. Three, we're going Canada. Just kind of same deal. I mean, it's boring.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
It's the maple leaf, but you get what you get when it comes to Team Canada and the maple leaf, right? Two, Finland. Ah, no, no, no, no. Two... To Sweden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
It's great. It's clean, but it could be better. Okay, there's room for improvement.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: I Don't Know Hockey, I Just Know Barky
Yeah. Finland, the most special of the bunch, I guess, but all around weak jerseys.

Staros' helmet was awesome.

Und es ist einfach so, dass ich jeden Tag aufwache, dass Darnell Nurse die beste Defense auf der Erde ist. Ich will, dass er in seinem Kontrakt lebt. Wir sprechen bereits darüber, welcher rechte Händefenstler auf seine Seite gehen kann und ihm helfen kann. Du kannst nicht fast in der Liga die beste Händefenstlerin haben, die so viel Hilfe braucht, Jahr nach Jahr. Ich denke...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Die Defense wird nie gut sein, aber alle müssen ihre Karrierejahre auf Offense spielen, um das zu passieren und um die beste Mannschaft in der Liga zu sein. Und das passiert nicht überall in der Linie. Wenn du auf Offense kämpfst, wirst du nicht erfolgreich für die Oilers sein.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Ich meine, wir haben es schon gemacht und es stinkt, weil ich meine, er wäre in Ordnung, wenn er ein zweites Paar auf einem wirklich guten Team wäre, aber er ist erwartet, so viel zu tun. Und das Kontrakt, es geht nicht nur um das Geld, es geht um die Handelsklauseln. Es ist wie der größte Ironclad-Kontrakt. Dieser Agent ist wie der beste Agent der Welt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Ich weiß nicht, wie er das gezeichnet hat, das war verrückt im Hintergrund, aber ich bin froh für ihn. Ich denke, die Druck, um zu performen, es ist wie sein, es schlägt den Rest des Teams an.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
I mean, they keep putting Lohan in when they think he's ready. And he was good against Seattle yesterday, but aren't we all? Seattle isn't that hard to beat. So I think the story is still unwritten there. I think Stolarz, I love seeing him go off. He has that in him, though, and then it kind of regresses to the mean. So I think they say, if you have three good goalies, you have no good goalies.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
But I think the situation is different here. I think it's cool that everybody gets to chip in and have, like, Die Boston Bruins sind aktuell 4-6-1 mit neun Punkten am Ende in der Atlantik-Division. Sie haben 8-2 verloren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Ich kann nicht viel darüber reden, aber du gibst ihnen den Crosby-Treatment. Ich weiß, dass Florida-Fans und Panthers-Follower das wissen, aber sie waren schmerzhaft zu sehen. Sie haben keinen guten Offensiv, bis es über die Zeit kommt und Pasternak es macht. Ich meine, sie zu sehen, ohne Abstand durch die Linie zu kommen, ist eine schmerzhafte Erfahrung.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Und dass Olmark weggeht, ist ein bisschen das Gleiche.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
No, it's because the Bruins' offense is awful and they spend so much time in the defensive zone and Swayman genuinely can't do it all, but he's not doing as well as he did with Omar because he didn't get... He is worth the money, but he didn't get the proper reps in to totally be that number one goaltender. We didn't get to see as much of him as we should before that contract signed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
So now it's kind of like the amount of pressure on him, the drama, it does add to it. But it's also just, it's tough watching the offense be in their zone for one second of every game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Ja, das ist es. Es sieht so aus, als ob sie nicht für ihn spielen. Ich kann nicht genug stressen. Vier Schüsse in neun Minuten, wenn du zurückkommen musst. Es war gestern einfach horrend. Aber das ist ein Mikro-Wissen, was die Saison gewesen ist.

You're always wearing something funky. This is vintage. My boyfriend is from San Antonio and they hosted the All-Star Game and now Wemby's putting on a 5x5 show. So, had to rep San Antonio. Here's the better look.

Thank you. I like it too. I wear it like every day.

Erstens, es könnte sein, dass die Kapitale ein großes Jahr haben. Vielleicht ist das eine Spinzone, aber ich liebe, dass er die Saison mit Assists, nicht Goals, begonnen hat. Und jetzt ist er so, keine Sorge, Leute, ich bin hier, wie zwei Goal-Perioden. Er ist zurück, er ist so zurück. Aber Tom Wilson hat geholfen. Jeder hilft. Connor McMichaels Freundin gibt Geburtstag.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Und er ist so, warte, ich muss zwei Goals schießen. Jeder schießt auf alle Zylinder für die verdammten Washington-Kapitale. Wer hätte gedacht, dass das passieren würde? Wir reden nicht darüber. Ja.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
It's awkward as heck. I guess that's how you keep the franchise going. I mean, the Lightning looked better than ever. I gotta hand it to them for doing what they did, as hard as it was, honestly. I'm kind of Team Lightning on this one, as much as I love Stamkos. I love what he brought to that team when they weren't good. And I love
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Ich meine, das Schiff, wo er nach einem gebrochenen Bein zurückkam und schießt, das ist einer meiner liebsten Hockey-Schiffe aller Zeiten. Aber das gesagt, wenn du dich weiterentwickeln willst, wenn du denkst, dass dein Team etwas hat, was mit der ersten Linie, natürlich, es tut. Du gehst Jake Hensel. Ich bin Team Lightning auf das. Ich bin sorry. Wow.

Es ist sowohl das Schlimmste als auch das Beste, was wir jemals gesehen haben. Es ist sowohl das Schlimmste als auch das Schlimmste, was wir jemals gesehen haben. Es gibt so viele Bubble-Teams. Die Parodie ist verrückt. Wir warten auf die Red Wings, um uns zu verletzen. Aber ich denke, die Atlantik-Division gibt die beste Konkurrenz. Nacht für Nacht, Pfund für Pfund.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Ich möchte Sam Reinhardt kritisieren. Als Barkov und Kachuk ausgingen, hat er immer noch die Tore gespielt. Er schießt sie in die Gesichter. Das Konzept sieht toll aus. Ich liebe das. Oh mein Gott.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Ja, was soll ich sagen? Ich denke, nein. Ich denke nicht, dass Greer auf der Hot Seat ist. Ich meine, sie sollen schlecht sein. Sie sollen tanken. Ich denke, es ist so eine delikate Linie, um zu gehen, wenn es so ist. Du willst nicht nachts nach nachts verlieren. Aber gleichzeitig liebe ich das Mario-Ferraro-Games. Er sagt, wir werden heute Abend gewinnen. Und dann haben sie gewonnen.

I love that she's not trying to blend in, though. Like, I love, as the first woman behind a bench, she really is making the statement and saying, hey, I'm here. I'm not gonna dull my shine for anybody.

The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Oh, ich würde sagen, es muss mehr als ein Spieler sein, der ein Ziel jedes Spiels erzielt. Ich glaube, erinnere dich an das Spiel, in dem sie es einfach auflösen. Es ist so, dass jeder Spieler ein Ziel hat. Das ist ein Ron-Francis-Klassiker, um einfach die Menge der Dämpfe zu haben, aber die Dämpfe tun nichts. Du brauchst einen Star. Entschuldige.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Ja, ich meine... Es ist so, dass sie so viel Offense von ihren Gegnern generieren. Montour hat es perfekt eingeführt, aber ich bin überrascht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Fit Check
Ich meine, Zach Hyman hat für die ersten zehn Spiele gezwitschert. Und es ist so, dass es wirklich beeinflusst, wie gut McDavid ist, dass er auf seinen career-worst Start geht, egal ob der Verletzung oder der ganze Team flüstert. Ich denke, das Goaltending ist offensichtlich furchtbar gewesen. Die Defense ist nicht existent.
