Chapter 1: What are the implications of Brady Tkachuk's departure from the Senators?

0.166 - 18.598 Bryan Hayes

Hour 2 Overdrive continues, powered by FanDuel, bringing you more ways to play your game your way. Brian Hayes, your dog Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, McLennan. Some news out of the Canadian camp. Alphonso Davies will not start tomorrow, but is available to come off the bench. So tell me if you've heard that before.

0

18.799 - 19.099 Steve Greenblatt

Yeah.

0

19.219 - 24.148 Bryan Hayes

We heard it against Bosnia. We heard it, obviously, the last match against Qatar.

0

24.128 - 26.591 Jamie McLennan

He ain't ever starting if he ain't starting tomorrow.

0

26.711 - 27.052 Bryan Hayes

Yeah.

27.492 - 28.113 Jamie McLennan

He's still hurt.

28.473 - 40.048 Bryan Hayes

Well, like, Moist Bombito didn't start the last match, and they brought him in the final 25, 30 minutes. I wonder if that's the plan here with Davies. Like, don't start him. Get him some minutes in the second half.

Chapter 2: How does Mike Johnson view loyalty in sports?

40.068 - 63.979 Bryan Hayes

Get his feet wet. So once you get in, you know, to the knockout stage, all of a sudden he can be at least... Maybe into the tournament, so to speak. But I'll believe that when I see it. I'm not convinced at all that he's been given the green light to play. So we'll see what else comes out of it. And it's a massive match tomorrow. We're on a little bit later. We're doing a post-game show tomorrow.

0

64.42 - 66.903 Bryan Hayes

5.30 to 7 we're on tomorrow.

0

67.303 - 68.084 Steve Greenblatt

You're kidding me.

0

68.385 - 69.767 Bryan Hayes

I'm not kidding you.

0

69.787 - 70.808 Steve Greenblatt

He's got plans.

70.788 - 74.192 Bryan Hayes

You had no idea. You definitely had a dinner at 6.15 or 6.30.

Chapter 3: What are the details of the trades involving William Eklund and Jordan Kyrou?

75.133 - 77.296 Bryan Hayes

With Jerry, probably. With Jerry and Elizabeth.

0

77.336 - 80.159 Steve Greenblatt

Elizabeth and your dear friend, Fred.

0

80.239 - 81.161 Bryan Hayes

Fred, who we love.

0

81.181 - 81.561 Steve Greenblatt

And Jerry.

0

81.701 - 93.836 Bryan Hayes

We love Fred. We love Elizabeth. Two of the best. Shout out to them. Yeah, shout out. So, yeah, tomorrow we're on after the match. Tomorrow night. So we look forward to that. You want to hear some Mike Babcock? Yes.

Chapter 4: How will Giannis Antetokounmpo's trade to the Heat impact the NBA?

94.096 - 98.922 Bryan Hayes

Let's hear this. So Mike Babcock showed up. I found the gear very...

0

98.902 - 128.892 Bryan Hayes

babcockian like he had the golf shirt that he had to put the jacket over which i appreciate right no suit and tie it's summer and yeah he's been retired for a while so he's just trying to ease back into it but i was asked about that um meeting he had with the leadership group mcdavid dry subtle hyman how that conversation went down and and basically give us some detail on what came out of it here's what mike mike babcock was willing to say about that meeting earlier today

0

131.656 - 151.914 Mike Babcock

Leon, Connor, that climate, and the rest of this leadership group want to get better. And that's what they've asked of me. And they've told me, we have to be better, and we expect you to make us better. And I said, well, that's great to talk about in June. When camp starts and you're making a guy do things, you might not be so happy. And they said, no, that's not how it's going to be.

0

152.735 - 172.365 Mike Babcock

We're all committed, all in on winning. And obviously in that time period, we had gone through enough things and talked about enough things. that they felt comfortable with the process or I wouldn't be here. And I was very clear to them, unless you're 100% all in on Mike Babcock, I have no interest in being the coach.

0

173.867 - 174.488 Jamie McLennan

Oh, my God.

Chapter 5: What changes are being made to the PGA Tour schedule?

174.668 - 182.624 Jamie McLennan

It's so painful. Some of this guy's answers. Like, you would think... Just say me. Don't say Mike Babcock.

0

182.644 - 183.345 Steve Greenblatt

Yeah, third person.

0

183.405 - 207.31 Jamie McLennan

All of his answers, though, like Ryan Meshawg asked him about what went on in Columbus, and he just said, my wife told me let's get out of here, so we got out of there. I just thought, and I was almost like privately, I don't know the guy. I've heard as gory as the stories that everyone else has heard, it doesn't take very much to get on the horn and find out just even more garbage about the guy.

0

207.29 - 229.467 Jamie McLennan

And for some reason, I just thought, though, I cheered for him privately. This guy, he just can turn it around and just have some gratitude and just say, who I was in the past was nonsense, and I've got to change it, and maybe I can go out of the game in the right way. But you just watch that guy in this press conference, and that's the exact same guy.

0

229.447 - 236.559 Jamie McLennan

And he just didn't take anything from the past. And he's just like, it's the same Mike Babcock. And I actually feel bad for the guys.

Chapter 6: What are the potential impacts of the RBC Canadian Open?

237.2 - 244.392 Jamie McLennan

Because in two months, in November, they're going to say, what on earth did we actually ask for? Like, we did this to ourselves.

0

245.013 - 264.673 Steve Greenblatt

Unless they're good. Unless they're structurally good. Well, they have to win. You can be structured all you want, but you've got to win. That team has been a mess structurally for years. And they made the finals two years in a row, and they got picked apart by a structurally really strong team in Florida.

0

265.334 - 279.72 Jamie McLennan

He got asked about sitting Mike Medano on his 1,500th game, and he had some BS excuse about how it was acceptable for him. I give up. I was so disappointed listening to that guy. And there was some comparisons between, like,

0

279.7 - 298.62 Jamie McLennan

Like, he'd get on the mic, and, like, Tiger Woods got off an airplane out of rehab, like, two days ago, and he just puts on a suit jacket and starts firing off golf stuff, and it's just like, I'm Tiger Woods again. And, like, Mike Babcock, the same thing. He was just, like, booted out of Columbus for outrageous –

0

Chapter 7: What are Bryan's FanDuel Best Bets for upcoming games?

298.6 - 312.07 Jamie McLennan

goings on and he just shows up and he's Mike Babcock I found some similarities where it was like right back in the spotlight and forget about it and I'm just that guy crazy stuff man yeah I mean I don't

0

312.86 - 320.188 Bryan Hayes

I think we should be surprised because the story of Babcock is he is very confident in Mike Babcock.

0

320.348 - 322.13 Steve Greenblatt

Well, he said the word Mike Babcock.

0

322.21 - 352.705 Bryan Hayes

Mike Babcock's got a compound fracture. Mike Babcock, that's a Seinfeld reference for those of you that aren't aware of it. But he is in a scenario here where I think he realizes the only way this is... He only knows how to coach one way. And honestly, if you're the players... As ridiculous as that whole soliloquy sounded, that's what you're asking for. Because if you get...

0

352.938 - 356.184 Bryan Hayes

a softened Mike Babcock, that's not going to work.

356.204 - 357.205 Steve Greenblatt

It's a watered-down version.

357.225 - 382.187 Bryan Hayes

Yeah, like the Babcock that you're kind of pining for here is the 2009 Mike Babcock who told, you know, I'm friends in this, or Mike Medano that, but also got the wins in a cup ring and all that kind of stuff. So if you want the full Babcock experience... then I actually think this is probably what you needed to see today.

382.707 - 393.882 Bryan Hayes

Because if you had Babcock softened or just neutered in a way, I don't think that's not what the Oilers are asking for.

Chapter 8: How do recent trades reflect the current state of the NHL?

393.982 - 419.755 Steve Greenblatt

That's not what they're wanting. But you come back to what O was saying, careful what you wish for. Well, they're in now. They're committed to it. But that's, you know, there is going to be a time, 100%, where they're going, what is going on here? But, again, the proof is in the pudding. Ask Johnny what he thinks of it. You know, it's interesting because they're pot committed.

0

420.216 - 424.241 Steve Greenblatt

And whether it works out or doesn't, that's what they've decided.

0

424.341 - 444.767 Bryan Hayes

And he said, hey, I'm harder on the star players than I am the other players. I don't know if the other players would agree with that necessarily, but here's Mike Johnson, our TSN hockey analyst, joining us here on the Maple Toyota Hotline. The full Mike Babcock experience, right? They're 100% in on Mike Babcock, and I guess that's what they're getting.

0

444.847 - 452.217 Bryan Hayes

If you're Connor McDavid and company, is that actually a good sign, the fact that it doesn't sound as if he has changed in any way?

0

453.985 - 469.604 Mike Johnson

Well, I tell you that Mike Johnson was not that impressed with that presser. Okay. Because Mike Johnson wanted more. He was expecting more, and he wanted more, and he didn't get it. Yeah. And if Mike Johnson got to commit to a press conference, he wants to hear what he needs to hear.

469.624 - 470.105 Steve Greenblatt

You're right.

470.125 - 494.438 Mike Johnson

You're right. The thing is, guys, I get what you're saying, but you would have thought, just for appearance's sake, if you want to go back to being the same sort of hard guy, arrogant, whatever, in the dress room, you want to grind on guys, you want to carve guys about this or that, if that's what you're going to go do because that's what you think you can do and should do, I still thought...

494.654 - 507.502 Mike Johnson

Day one presser. I'm not asking for a full mea culpa. Just a smidge of contrition. Oh, give me something. When asked about Columbus, you know what? I should have handled that differently.

508.104 - 528.539 Jamie McLennan

Instead, Johnny, he said, my wife said, let's get out of here. It's just like, are you? Yeah, we're not aligned. No, that's what he said. He goes, I hadn't scratched a guy. I hadn't sat a guy out. I hadn't done this. I hadn't done that. I could tell the coaching staff wasn't aligned, so my wife said, let's get out of here. Like, are you kidding me, dude? That was a joke.
