become? There was a full 48 hours where I felt like I was like literally Superman.
Jumbo loves playing Fortnite, so he gets on the sticks. Did TR show you the sauna cycle or was that already? No, no, I invented that.

We've been cruising through, ripped the Atlantic, ripped the metro, and now we make our way west to the central. I think this one is a four car
race. Well, Dan, I was going to say we keep going like this. Well I've been doing the glasses thing a lot. I just do love that bit. Well. Yeah. All seven of the eight teams in the Atlantic could make it. And then I get to the that that's us. Then I get to the metro and I go, Well Every team could make it. And then I get to the central and I go like this. Actually four teams could make it. This is the first one with a cliff. I really think there's a
I do think there's a cli but I got a lot of good things to say. A lot of good things. A lot of good things to say. I
think you walk and you go play off,
playoff,
play off playoff, play off and then you go I
don't think the cliff's as big as
you
think. And you free
fall off a fucking cliff.
Coyote. Coyote, yeah, yeah. I don't think it's as big as you think. But either way, I'm excited to get into it. Same. Are you ready? I think I'm ready. Well in that case
ASMR. I talked over it though. What flavor is that? Dude, this is s l summer edition spritz. Oh fuck, that's it. And Negus. Shout out Negus. I posted this on a story 'cause I was like, wow, this flavor's amazing. I hadn't even tried it yet. And our boy from home texted us and was like, I have been looking far and wide for that flavor and I can't find it anywhere. And I was like, Well, I got a fucking office fridge.
Yeah, we're getting we're getting secret menu flavors here. It's great.
I'll pop one in the mail, buddy. So here we go. Summer edition spritz sparkling lemon cello twist.
There

That
kind of rhymed. I like it. Yeah, and it's incredible. All right, BR Sherpa CP, take us through the central division as we do our preview of these eight teams, where they're gonna finish this year.
As you know, we go from eight to one from their standings last year, which means we begin with the Chicago Blackhawks. Last year, the Hawks went twenty nine, thirty nine, and fourteen for seventy two points, finished eighth, and missed the playoffs. Do you know? Yeah. You're first. This year, they will finish three, two, one, six. Seventh. Ooh, nice, Dan. I almost went five. A little six burger. Almost went five. Uh I I'm drunk on Chicago. I actually really respect that. If Bedard wasn't hurt to start the year, I actually
might have gone six. That's that's 100% my only thing. And I've said this multiple times on the program. Yep. Connor Bradard is having
a career year. And I'm with you on that, dude, because and and by the way, by the way, uh the Bruins record breaking year was McVoy out till fucking Christmas.
