0.267 - 25.499 Bryan Hayes

25.519 - 36.721 Bryan Hayes

DH-ing and then catching Wednesday, Thursday. Yes, down in the minors. He's still rehabbing. But there's a chance when the Yankees roll through town, Alejandro Kirk is back with the Blue Jays.

Chapter 2: How does the leadership impact the performance of the Oilers?

36.742 - 61.193 Bryan Hayes

So that is a significant development. I wonder if he pulls a Ryu. and just in Buffalo and just does his little five-inning thing and then just wheels out onto I-95 there, grabs some food, Uber back, and get after it. It's possible. Anything's possible. I'm sure he's very comfortable down there. So, yeah, that was a big series win for them. The bats came alive.

0

61.253 - 75.631 Bryan Hayes

Again, Ernie Clements got more hits than anyone else in the American League. Guy's on fire right now, Ernie Clement. So it's great to see that. And more on that later in the hour. Game three of the NBA Finals tonight. We're tracking towards the RBC Canadian Open. Phenomenal field.

Chapter 3: What was the significance of Joe Pavelski's interview with the Maple Leafs?

75.711 - 108.314 Bryan Hayes

Tracking towards Canada-Bosnia on Friday on TSN. And we've got a lot going on in the NHL. We haven't even talked about the actual Cup Final. I know. Again, I don't have a dog in the fight. I don't care really who wins the series. But when Carolina storms back down 4-0 to tie it, not winning that is so sickening. And in the fashion they did. Yeah, exactly. Off the boards and off a goalie.

0

108.334 - 121.213 Bryan Hayes

That was a crazy comeback. Because you know Roddy Brindamore was so mad. It was like he was the only guy ready for that game. But I want to throw a question out. And just the way it ended, like off the backboard and in the net.

0

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Babcock's comeback to the NHL?

122.003 - 132.393 Bryan Hayes

I want to ask you guys, if the Carolina Hurricanes had elite goaltending in this series, are they leading the series?

0

136.157 - 138.619 Jeff O'Neill

Yes. I mean, yes.

0

138.699 - 161.585 Bryan Hayes

I think it's just a yes. Yes, it is. And Freddie, I know he's got stuff going on, like Claude Lemieux was his agent, and he's having a tough go of it, but it's just – He just didn't seem to have his energy is not right. And it shows, and it's been costly. And I think if Carolina had elite goaltending, because Carter Hart hasn't exactly been mind-blowing.

0

161.645 - 171.838 Bryan Hayes

And by the way, Georgie McPhee is a completely different story up there in the stands. Dude, Georgie is nuts.

0

171.818 - 177.405 Jamie McLennan

He is like grabbing the glass and he's like squeezing and making his face.

178.727 - 187.057 Bryan Hayes

He's a roller coaster, man. I love watching Georgie. Kelly is so calm and even the owner is calm.

Chapter 5: How did Jon Cooper earn the Jack Adams Award this season?

187.077 - 191.002 Bryan Hayes

And Georgie just wants to rip something off of its moorings.

0

191.022 - 218.487 Jeff O'Neill

He is so intense, though. That's the thing. I love the guy. Keep in mind. He's a great guy. He's not a big guy, but apparently, pound for pound, he was one of the toughest guys who ever played the game. You look at it. We know Kelly McCrimmon, friend of the show, but also you played with his brother. His brother coached me. The McCrimmon family, they're hockey guys. They're just hockey guys.

0

219.028 - 223.734 Jeff O'Neill

Lifers, right? Yeah. And Foley's like a rich guy who'd do anything he can to win.

0

Chapter 6: What factors contributed to Andrei Vasilevskiy's Vezina Trophy win?

223.754 - 226.377 Jeff O'Neill

Hayes, you get fired up about the helicopter.

0

226.397 - 230.302 Bryan Hayes

I've got to give credit where it's due, man. The guy's a great owner.

0

230.682 - 237.53 Jeff O'Neill

But McPhee is an emotional man, and you just see him like he wants to be on the ice.

0

238.331 - 265.461 Bryan Hayes

I honestly thought, and it wouldn't have shocked me, if he grabbed the seat he was sitting in and ripped it off of its hinges and threw it over the back. Yeah. If they lost that game in overtime, I think he's – He would have ripped his seat off its hinges and thrown it over. Possibly being pushed into the rink in the Hannibal Lecter thing for game four. They're like, you've got to be –

0

265.441 - 278.216 Bryan Hayes

It's a lector pulley with a mask. Right. You have to be restricted for game four, because I think he would have gotten nuts if they lost that game in overtime. Like, literally jumped onto the ice, started chasing torts around or something.

278.797 - 281.299 Jeff O'Neill

That was a roller coaster game. Crazy game.

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

281.48 - 286.926 Jeff O'Neill

Like that. And Marner has the penalty shot to just dagger them. To close it.

0

286.906 - 307.735 Bryan Hayes

That's the amazing thing, Noodles, that there was about to be a story. Mitch Marner had the game of his life. He had one of the all-time great Stanley Cup games. One of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest games of all time. Truly one of the all-time great Stanley Cup final games. And then there was a chance. And this is where kind of the Leaf mojo was there.

0

308.576 - 324.255 Bryan Hayes

Him missing the penalty shot was going to become a story of, well, if he scored that. Was it true what he said when he said he didn't know they changed goalies? How could you not know that that was a question? That's not a serious comment. Was that like a legit quote from him?

0

Chapter 8: How do the latest NHL coaching changes affect team dynamics?

324.295 - 337.818 Bryan Hayes

That's what he said after the game. Yes, he goes, I didn't realize that they had pulled Freddie or that Freddie was out of the game. I know, but... You have to. Everybody knows that. I didn't think that was something. The goalie's got the glove on the other hand.

0

337.898 - 340.321 Jeff O'Neill

Yes. He's a righty.

0

340.801 - 361.946 Bryan Hayes

I couldn't believe Mitch said that after the game, but he did. But Marner had ten shots on goal. He was unreal. He was all over the ice. And here's another thing. Because I'm begging Leaf fans, and I'm seeing it online, and I understand it. And we've got Strutty coming up here in a moment, so I know what's coming. you've got to stop taking the bait on the trolling.

0

362.487 - 387.592 Bryan Hayes

You've got to stop taking the bait because these stats are so outrageous now. Someone tweeted out the stats that he had 10 shots on goal in Game 3. He had 10 the whole series against Florida last year. It was something crazy like that. And he's putting up numbers. Everything's breaking his way. And, listen, goals are going off sticks and in.

0

387.692 - 412.569 Bryan Hayes

And, again, the anti-leaf mojo of Vegas is they blow the 4-0 lead and then they get the bounce and win in overtime. That would never happen for the Leafs. There are goons and just stiffs and others. Well, we got one on the line probably soon that just love the trolling. Like Patty Maroon was just giving it to you. Well, this is what I was going to say before we get strutty on.

412.649 - 435.485 Bryan Hayes

Because, again, a big part of the reaction is Vegas is just simply better than the Leafs. And I'm not going to argue against that top to bottom and the way that they operate. Can't. He's playing, though, with William Carlson and Brett Howden. Let's not pretend he's on a line with McDavid and Dreisaitl. He played in his prime in the playoffs with Matthews and Hyman on his line.

436.026 - 454.511 Bryan Hayes

He had better line mates in Toronto. His whole career he did, for the most part. Carlson's a really good player. He's been injured all year, basically. That should almost be more of a credit to him. Exactly, and that's what I'm saying. He deserves a ton of credit. It's almost a shot at him saying, well, it's because Vegas is a – yes, Vegas collectively is a better team.

454.832 - 472.872 Bryan Hayes

He's not playing five-on-five with better players. He's not. And yet he's still doing this somehow. So I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. The guy's on fire. Here's Jason Strudwick joining us here on the Maple Toyota Hotline. What's happening, Struddy?

473.628 - 483.962 Jason Strudwick

That's funny. What a playoffs we're seeing in both the NHL and the NBA. I can't wait for this game tonight, this NBA game. I don't know if you guys have been watching it, but it's been so good.
