Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hour 2 Overdrive continues, powered by FanDuel, bringing you more ways to play your game your way. More picks later in the hour, more footy picks later in the hour, right? Because we've got Messi and Argentina playing later tonight. We've got... Denmark or Norway and Erling Haaland will be out there, right? The Norwegians are going to be playing, and Haaland, I think, is chasing a golden boot.
So I like that idea of possibly putting some scratch on them. So more picks later in the hour. Keegan Matheson coming up. Mike Johnson will join us. They've been doing a great job. Needless to say, they don't need me to pump their tires. But all the panels, all the calls, all the production has been phenomenal. And it was a great game last night. The nightcap last night was a phenomenal match.
Ended in a draw. but I was watching the crew. They've been doing like at the end of the night, like when you're on the desk, you're talking about that match, obviously.
But the Park the Bus podcast, a really, really quality podcast, and Luke and Janine and Stevie and Kevin, they just kind of sat on these couches at the end of the night, took the ties off, and just put their feet up and started talking. It was like 20 minutes on air. Canada, today's matches, and the future of the tournament. It was brilliant. It was so well done.
Don't say that. Don't say that because you know what we're going to be doing after Leaf games next year? Ties off, couch area.
Park the bus, the Leaf edition.
I love that idea. I've always wanted to do that. No, I've got too much work on my plate, but what I'm saying is there will always be. In Montreal, they have that thing called L'Antichambre or whatever, L'Antichambre. Yeah. and they've got this big panel and all that, and they just sit around and chew the fat after the game.
And to me, and I know there's lots of panels, which is, you know, oh, you and Duffy and the group, but there is something in the future of, yes, just sitting around on the couch.
Listen, I'm just saying. It's like a hot zone every night after a Leaf game. If you're going to do it, do it right. Get insiders in there, get analysts, everything, and just chew up the game until you can't chew it up anymore.

Chapter 2: What changes are happening with Hockey Night in Canada?
He's 24, and he doesn't need waivers. So you can have Stolarz into Hildeby, into Artie, and have a three-pack there. And Erson, Hayes, you can either keep them or you can move away from them and not qualify them, or you can flip them or just keep them in the minus.
I guess that's what happens is they move away from them.
Do you think Artie is prepared to play meaningful NHL games next year?
People like him.
People like him. They're going to need it. Stolarz ain't playing 60 games. Not going to happen.
Right, but Noodles, you know what this is like. I wonder almost if it's the best setup where Stolarz is the guy, one. It'll be easier, two. A bit more mature. been around a little bit more, a little bit more, and actually you're three, and he gets to play all the time in the minors until the odd time he's got to come up. He's not even penciled in as the two.
He gets another year of full number one work with the emergency recall, knowing he's going to be pretty good, and being waivers exempt. That's exactly what you want your three to be, even if you picture him in the future, Noodles as being ahead of Hildeby and the eventual starter. You want him starting in the minors before he backs up in the NHL and gets 20 games only.
I agree with that philosophy, Johnny. I'm going to just go one step further, though. 84 games next year, so two extra. Do you believe, in Stolarz and Hildeby, chewing up a big chunk of those? That's, I guess, the multi-million dollar question.
I'm not going to lie. I don't know if I love that. It's even coming out of your mouth, Jamie. I don't know if I love it.

Chapter 3: How does the Joseph Woll trade impact the Maple Leafs?
much do we hear in the last two weeks how rod brindamore is such an inspiration because he because he works hard like dally was sort of introducing that idea of like hey we're going to be in shape we're going to be people who care about what we eat should not have gone down that road for the media but if that's how like like rod that's part of rod brindamore's allure is that he is such a fitness buff so you better be in shape too so you know i get the idea just maybe not the execution
Well, there's another name that reportedly is still in the running that was not mentioned, and that's Patrick Waugh. And that is, like, from purely an entertainment perspective, that is a grand slam number one pick. And nobody is close. Like, heads exploding in Montreal if the Leafs hired Patrick Waugh. And the idea of him coming into town and how he would handle things –
And I would have to believe, again, Pelley being somewhat of a showman, I could see him being very enticed by the idea of hiring Patrick Waugh. But the Pavelski one, I was thinking about that with Brindamore, and again, it's very different because Rod was an assistant coach there for years. But that is – I could see – we talk about copycat, go find the next guy.
You know, that's what Pavelski would represent. Like uber competitive player, great leader, captain, a guy that everyone revered, and a guy that, you know, is very connected to the players in the game because he played and he's –
literally been in the room i could see that like if we're talking copycat i would guess what brindamore just accomplished and what he represents gave pavelski a better chance of getting the job fair isn't and marty like what marty's done in montreal yep
I mean, very similar, although Montreal was in a rebuild, but yeah. And the thing about Joe, who is really well-respected, really well-liked, when you're around him, he loves talking hockey, but he's got a real confidence to him. Like he has in a lot of great players, he's got a real belief in himself and his own ability, and I think that would matter.
Although as a blanket statement, Hayes, I'm not... I'm going to ignore the idea that there's an entertainment value here, but let's not hire coaches for entertainment value. You know what's entertaining? Two points at the end of the night.
That's entertaining.
Not wordy press conferences. Not splashy headlines. Wins. That's sustainably entertaining.

Chapter 4: What is the future of Matthew Knies with the Maple Leafs?
He's still a good coach. And he gets players. I played for Torts in his first day as a head coach in the NHL in Tampa 25 years ago. So I know him well. I just don't know if Toronto... I know. Edmonton, if they get shut out of Cassidy and the Babcock investigation rules he can't coach... then yeah, maybe on a one year, you might have to go down that road.
Johnny, I want to ask you one question. What do you got there? I see notes on the back of your paper. Is that research?
Very prepared.
You don't think I take notes before I do every show? Anyway.
Right.
What are you laughing at, Hayes? You don't think I take bright stuff down? I'm sure you do.
I think he does all the time. I watched him.
Expected goals for Andre last year in Philly. I wanted to ask you, Johnny. Taylor Hall talked about the adjustment he had to make playing for Rod Brendamore, how it's like a working system where you're always on the move. How much of an adjustment do you think William Nylander would have to make playing in that system? Do you think it would be a shock to his system, the way he plays the game?
Not physically, no. I think he'd be skating fine. He can skate. Where Willie would struggle in that system is that... What Carolina tolerates as a risky decision is much lower than what Willie thinks is a risky decision. He would have to change the way he makes decisions on the ice because what he thinks is an okay decision, Carolina does not. And we talked a lot about man-on-man defense.
