This hour of Overdrive is powered by FanDuel. FanDuel, bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score.
All right, here we go. Overdrive off and running. TSN 1050 on the TSN app, your home smart speaker. Up on TSN 4, up on YouTube Live, Brian Hayes, Yo Doug, Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles McLennan. What's going on today? How are we feeling this afternoon?
Feeling good. I'm just waiting for my video to pop in. Hopefully that happens momentarily because I have a lot of interesting things to say today.
Oh, a lot of interesting things to say.
I've got to be honest. I've been anticipating this because you've been sitting at home or whatever you've been doing.
Sitting at home? You know what I mean. You're talking about me, I'm assuming, the last couple of days.
Yes, Brian Hayes did not have the opportunity to weigh in on lots that's been going on in Leafland. And that, I just figured we... It was sad yesterday, Noodles. It was sad. The first 30 minutes, I was like, let's just give him the floor. Yeah, this guy's got stuff to say. I felt like yesterday was... was just behind Stamkos and PK. That big day that you were, I think you were sick or something.
I was. Yeah, that one, that was a massive day because that was also Taylor Hall for Adam Larson, I believe.
It was a massive day. Bobby Mack, like, broke the internet that day.
Yes, you're right. One for one. That was Hall for Larson. It was PK for Weber. It was Stamkos going back to Tampa. And I'm sitting there, sick as a dog, like, well, I guess I'm not going to be a part of this.
With snot dribbling down your nose.
I miss a lot of big, big days. And yesterday... Listen, I wanted to be here because it was Joe Bowen's last call, and Bonesy was phenomenal last night, and just an unbelievable career, and he was on the show, and that was awesome. I didn't know this athletic article was coming out, though. I wish, you know, Jonas is a good friend of mine, CJ Myrtle, I love these guys. Maybe give me a heads up so I can make sure I'm in here.
No, you can't do that with something like that.
I guess not. That's just like. I guess you can't really tip people off. Yeah, and then today you've got the locker cleaning out, and the season's finally over. Thank God. Well, we played. That was Joe Cocker coming in, like feeling all right.
I was waiting for Hello Darkness.
What insights were shared about the Maple Leafs' end-of-season press conference?
Where's Hello Darkness?
So this is worthy of getting into because our good friend Buffalo Donnie, he texted wondering the same thing. He said, Hello Darkness today. There it is for you. It's been dark for two months, three months.
It's been six months of darkness. Okay, but the other day we fought it off and said, no, you can't do it until the end of the season. Today is the end of the season. And I know it's a stupid tradition.
That's not stupid, but it's a tradition of the playoffs, of a choke in the playoffs, not this garbage for six months. My initial reaction was, because Doogie asked the same thing. Doogie, production 101. Doogie, 20 minutes ago said, are we going with Hello Darkness? And I said, honestly, my instincts are that's after you choke to the Habs or the Bruins or Tampa or Columbus. That's Hello Darkness. Like, that's I can't believe they lost again in the playoffs. This is, I don't even know how to describe what that is.
There's only one thing to do, Doogie, in the new wave of how we're doing business. Ask AI if we should have played Hello Darkness to start the show. And it might come back and say, you know what? It's been, unfortunately, a tradition of this show for how many years?
Who knows?
And it might say you guys should have gone with it. I thought we were just naturally going to do with it because it's the end of the season. You're right. This was like a slow bleed or burn where the corpse finally died last night. I couldn't wait. I've never watched a hockey game. only for the guy that wasn't even on TV. Like, I watched the game on TV, and I was like, I'm watching this for Joe Bowen. And I don't even know why. They didn't show him. You didn't see him. And I was just like, that was it for Bonesy.
