Alright, here we go. Overdrive off and running. TSN 1050 on the TSN app. Your home smart speaker up on TSN4, up on YouTube Live. Brian Hayes, your dog Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, McLennan. What's going on today? How are we feeling?
Boys, I have to start the show... with acknowledging a ridiculous, ignorant comment that I made. Unlike one other person in this group, I have to admit it was wrong. And nobody called me. Nobody texted me. Nobody was mad. But somebody sent me a note yesterday and said, what about this or that? We were talking about Mitch Koff, and I said, I'd get rid of him. Stupid comment.
Because you know what? Somebody sent me a note that said, Jimmy Rutherford stuck with you for five to six years to let you grow into the player that you were. And that guy was right. Wow. Look at this guy.
No, no, take a note, Hayes.

Chapter 2: What are Brady Tkachuk's thoughts on his future with the Senators?
You say stupid stuff all the time.
And you never ignore it.
Jamie, does he not say stupid stuff? But I stick by it.
All three of us, we say silly things.
I sell it. Right? I sell it. Okay, continue with your thought and your wisdom. I like this. Yoda dog.
Keep going. You ever say Yoda dog again? That's it. So I thought about it, and I blocked the guy, and I can't unblock. Here's the best part. You blocked the guy, but then you agree with him.
Yeah, what a great comment. Thank you for that perspective.
You guys know what it's like when you take your headset off. You need to blow off steam for an hour. You need to chill out.

Chapter 3: How do Canadian team captains perceive the pressure of their roles?
Brady can take a look and say, I like my team, but I could be better or whatever, however he feels. but we feel like we're player X, Y, and Z away from here. Connor McDavid, same thing. I took less money. I like my team. I like the city. He wrote in the Players' Tribune, I want to win here, all of that type of stuff. I think sometimes, should we not just take them for face value?
What did Brady Kachuk say today that would lead you to believe that that's it, he's on his way out? I thought the other way.
I totally agree with you, Noodles. The only thing I would say on that is, And now Jim Rutherford, every time he asks, goes, oh, I knew Quinn Hughes was out of here. So people are like, wait a minute. I thought he said he loves it here, and you said he's a Canuck, and he's going to stay.
Why'd you sign Brock Besser?
Right, exactly. Last night, right? Game time decision. McDavid afterwards is like, oh, I was never not playing. But why was it a game time decision?
Well, that's play.
But my point is, of course, publicly, this goes for politics, sports, anything. Diffuse, diffuse, diffuse. Get people to move on from something else. you know, without knowing really the reality of what could or could not be happening. That's all I'm saying. But I agree with you. I thought Brady flew up, obligation to speak, which he did. He knows that. He did it. He spoke.
And you move on, and we'll see what happens with Ottawa into the offseason. We'll see what happens with all these teams, including the Maple Leafs. I mean, we're still waiting on news on what they're going to do. You know, the rumors, Darren Drager will join us in 10 minutes. Matt Sundin, John Chayka, you know, is that going to be the front office? It very well could be.
Those are the reports that it's moving in that direction.

Chapter 4: What challenges do Canadian teams face in the current NHL landscape?
But for people and organizations to just fire out this analytics talk, what I think it is, I think it's Ozempic for sports execs that have garbage teams and they need something to lean on. It's just like whatever. That's the last time I'm ever going to mention the stupid word.
You know what it is? It is a great analogy.
It is. It's ozempic for sports execs. You know what? We lost eight in a row, but we're trending in the right direction. We had so many slot shots. We're so horny about that. That's what it is. It's ozempic for sports execs.
Well, it's a tool, right? And every general manager will remind us of that when we're having this conversation. Coaches as well. I don't know why it's so taboo to have a different opinion on it, right? Every time we talk about it and it sounds like we're shooting holes in the concept and in the meaning of what analytics is and how important it is.
Man, we just get piled on on social media, which I don't really care about. I don't. But I do appreciate how it impacts decision-making. I do. But the general managers, and there are many of them across the National Hockey League, and most of them are decorated by Stanley Cups. Tell me the same thing.
Guys, I just have to clarify one thing. Yeah. I got a DM that said Chica actually owns 61 Wendy's. I said 37. Gus Fring. He's Gus Fring.
I told you. He's Gus Fring. 61 Wendy's.
Wow. Okay, he's got an empire. Sorry, Chica.
It's all good. Brad Treliving is part of Boston Pizza. It doesn't matter. The point being is you look at it, you have to do the job and do it very well, regardless of whoever is running your organization. The frustrating part about all of this is we won't know if John Chayka is good at his job if he gets hired for a little bit here.

Chapter 5: What is the latest on the Maple Leafs' GM search?
You can step right in.
Everyone else can figure out what they want to figure out. Go to hell. Basically. We'll see. We'll see what happens. But it just never worked. It never took off. And a lot of guys are going to have to scramble now. All right. Hour two coming up. A few games in the Stanley Cup playoffs. We're tracking the Jays. George Springer back today. Back today playing. He stepped in in a pinch hit.
Had a big hit. RBI. Jays are rolling. Savage was great last night. Game five. Raptors, Cavs. Overdrive continues up on YouTube Live.
