Chapter 1: What happened in the Oilers vs Ducks playoff game?
How long is the flight? So, two hours to Dulles, two and a half to Tampa. Are you purposely saying it like that?
Saying what? The city in Texas.
No, no, sorry. Not Dallas. It's like the major airport in Washington. It's called Washington Dulles. Oh, okay. I thought this was another mishap.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Washington, Dallas.

Chapter 2: How did the Canadiens fare against the Lightning?
Available now during Red Tag Days. Your Monday morning edition. Dom Schrammati, Elliot Friedman, and Kyle Bukowskis with you once again. Freedge. The margins in the playoffs, as you know, are razor thin, and they certainly were in Orange County in overtime on Sunday night. Ryan Poehling, the hero for the Ducks. They lead the Oilers three games to one on a goal that was probably in the
It was really difficult to tell for sure under the skate of Tristan Jari. However, it was the process of getting to that point that's kind of come under scrutiny here in the emotional aftermath of that game. I agree with what you said on the air afterwards. And look, you were the one that was on the phone with the situation room.
So why don't you bring us up to speed on what you were told there and just your whole feeling about how that game ended at Honda Center?
Chapter 3: What were the highlights from the Sabres vs Bruins match?
So, you know, first of all, you know, I obviously had a lot to say on social media and after the game and like, even though I may disagree with some of the things that happened, you don't need to pile drive anyone to the ground. So let's just stick to the facts here. They call it a goal on the ice. I respectfully disagree with that call.
I just don't think anybody was in position to make that call.
Chapter 4: What key moments defined the Kings vs Avalanche game?
And then when they sent out the email blast later on in the night, At 1.58 a.m., the situation room determined that the puck completely crossed the goal line. Now, let me just say that when I made my phone call... That was not specifically communicated to me at the time. It was later. It was not at the time. But I think it's important to recognize that it was probably a bit of chaos.
It's right after the game, and we had a quick conversation. So it's okay. Like, it's fine.
Chapter 5: What are the latest developments in the Toronto, Nashville, and Vancouver front office searches?
That was not communicated to me at the time. But like I said, it was chaos. When they sent out the email at 158, they said the puck was completely over the line.
Chapter 6: How did listener questions shape the discussion?
And I do believe, I do believe that, first of all, the puck was probably in. Logically, it was in. But at the time, I had been told that there were no replays that could overturn the call. on the ice, which was good goal, which I respect. Like there was no replay that could overturn the call. So I understand how they ended up there. I think it's the right outcome.
I just disagreed with the process. And I also really strongly believe Kyle that at the end of the day, people in the league felt that they couldn't go to Pat Verbeek and Stan Bowman, the two GMs, and say that was no goal. that they felt that was a goal. And because the call was made on the ice, they couldn't overturn it.
Now, one thing I'm going to say here that I strongly disagree with, and it's 2.25 a.m. and I was just sent this text message by someone. I had somebody send me a note saying, the original call on the ice doesn't matter. I was like, and this was not somebody in the league.
Chapter 7: What insights were shared about the Senators vs Hurricanes series?
This was someone who is, this is not somebody who works in the NHL office. I want to make that clear at the beginning. And I think that is total BS. Total BS. Because there have been times when I've had this debate about people, and they have said to me that generally all the GMs get told, and Bettman has said this himself, that you only overturn calls if they're dead wrong. Okay?
So for anyone to claim that the call on the ice doesn't matter, that is... That flies in the face of everything that I've ever been told covering the league. And it's been made very clear to me that the commissioner himself uses the words dead wrong. And sometimes even one more word piled into there, which I will not repeat on a family podcast. So I'm not even this late at night.
Not even this late at night.
Will you go down that road?
Will I go down that road? So, like, I don't want to hear that. I can totally understand that they felt that was a goal. I can totally understand logically it was a goal. And I completely feel that, like, the idea that you go to Pat Verbeek especially and say, you know what, I can't tell you that's not a goal. I got no problem with that.
I just, you know, like I just said, like, I think we all look at that and say it's a goal. I just think the process there, you know, there was a referee I had a big fight with last year. Good referee, a guy I really like. And, you know, we had a big fight over something. And at the end of the day, he said to me, don't guess. like either you know or you don't, okay?
And I think that's the right approach. And I just think in this situation, they weren't in a position where they could make that call. You know what I would like to have seen there, just from a point of view of if this happens in the future, is they're going to review that call anyway. The NHL always looks at Are they in or not in legally or cleanly?
So even if the officials on the ice had ruled that no goal, they still have the right to look at it and say, we're going to check it. So there didn't even have to be a goal call there. It was still going to be reviewed.
We've talked about this on this podcast before. And because, again, this is the process of how they got to the point of what they called on the ice. You know, take away the review part and the situation room from the equation. But how they got to the decision on the ice where they said, we have a goal and now we are going to review.

Chapter 8: What were the main takeaways from the Golden Knights vs Mammoth game?
I was saying, wait a sec, do you have like a protractor at home or one of those metal compasses we used to have from grade eight geometry? We were kind of laughing about it. And they said, well, you can use the dimensions and, there's stuff for this. And one thing I learned tonight was that the NHL has something like this.
And I don't know if it's AI or what, but they have some technology that allows them to do that. And it doesn't make the decision for them, but they look at it and they say, okay, it does have no, the dimensions of the puck. And this is where we think it is. And they use it, um, I think to support and explain their calls.
So look to me at the end of the day, what this is about is you got to look two GMs in the eyes and say, this is how we came to this decision. This is what we think is right. And especially for Pat Verbeek and the docs, they're like, Hey, We can't go to them and say, that's not a goal. And that's how I think they came to this. It doesn't take away from Anaheim.
they deserve the win as much as Edmonton did, and the Oilers here are really pushed to the brink, really pushed to the brink. I don't think it's impossible, but it's been wild to see how Edmonton, which has terrorized the league on its power play for years, is getting really hurt by the Anaheim power play, up 2-0, two penalties, two goals, and the Ducks are full measure for this win.
This is not a fluke that they're up 3-1. This is not them goalie-ing the Oilers. They have earned and deserve this win. I think the things that you look for at your Edmonton, you say, okay, we hang our hat on this, is Jari was good. He gave you a chance to win. And also, McDavid had a couple plays in the third period that made him look a little more healthy, if that's...
The right phrase to use, he looked a bit more like himself, but it's not impossible for them, but it's a big hole to climb against a confident young team that just doesn't think it can win. It believes it's full value for the win.
Yeah, and that's the big part. We should also mention, I think it was Mark Spector that asked McDavid after the game point blank about his health. And though he didn't answer directly, just as any or most players would in that spot, we're all playing through something at this time of year. But to see the jump in the third period, you're right. That's a positive sign for the Oilers.
It's been amazing to watch Anaheim through this series that... the belief grow through game one to two to three and now four, as you say, not just hoping to beat a team like Edmonton, but now thinking they, they really can do it. It was a great interview with Mason McTavish and Scott Oak in the aftermath. We've talked about on this pod through this series, some of the,
The forwards, the young forwards going through this for the first time, how great they have looked. Jackson Lacombe here on Sunday night, nearly 30 minutes for a game that just got into overtime. You know, for all the love that the forwards are getting, he has been incredible as the guy on defense for the Ducks going through all of this for the very first time in the postseason.
