23.132 - 24.655 Jeff O'Neill

What's going on?

24.635 - 36.898 Unknown

Boys, I have a social media announcement. I am now going to move forward as a non-using Twitter member. I'm done. You're out.

37.078 - 43.029 Jeff O'Neill

What does that mean? I see you replying to a lot of people. I mean, you're really active on there. Wolf?

43.089 - 48.274 Unknown

Wolf Blitzer and others. I mentioned to Wolfie that he changes jerseys every year.

Chapter 2: How does the atmosphere in Montreal compare to Toronto for hockey games?

48.314 - 80.681 Unknown

I'm just so fatigued with egg avatars and puppet avatars and just people with stupid things. I can't do it anymore. I'm just going to watch in the background like noodles. There's going to be nothing coming out of my... I don't... No, Jamie, you just... Lurking in the background. Once in a while, you'll say, like, happy birthday to this guy. Yes. Or, you know, twice a year. I'm too old.

0

81.061 - 84.204 Unknown

I can't do it with the nonsense.

0

84.985 - 89.209 Jeff O'Neill

Like, the idiot today... Here we go. The idiot today... Yeah?

0

89.469 - 101.217 Unknown

Was saying... Hayes and O-Dog are such Toronto homers. I don't know why they have a mic or how they have a mic. They always say that Toronto's a better hockey city than Montreal.

0

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s recent performance?

101.237 - 103.899 Unknown

And I just looked at it, and I'm like, that's it.

0

103.919 - 110.245 Jeff O'Neill

That's it. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I can't do it.

0

110.806 - 130.93 Unknown

I wrote back, and I said, show me. We have been praising the vibe in Montreal. We have always said the Bell Centre is... is the best spot to watch a hockey game, to play a hockey game, because two of the three of us have done it. Not like these donkeys. I'm done. I'm a non-Twitter.

0

131.291 - 139.683 Jeff O'Neill

I think you'll be back, because I've heard that from someone before who claimed they were leaving, and then they just happened to be lurking around.

0

139.763 - 142.847 Unknown

I'm out. You want to start the clock when I come back?

142.827 - 148.917 Jeff O'Neill

I think it's by the time the first ball goes up in the air at the PGA Championship.

Chapter 4: What are the Edmonton Oilers' coaching changes and their impact?

148.937 - 151.201 Jeff O'Neill

That would be my guess. No way, dude.

0

151.281 - 158.573 Jamie McLennan

No way. You want to have like a pool. You want to have like an O-Dog social media pool. Guys, it's done forever. It's done forever. No, it's not.

0

158.713 - 162.539 Jeff O'Neill

There's no chance it is. What do you mean there's no chance? I know you too well.

0

163.281 - 167.788 Unknown

What's going to make me lick my lips and say I'm chiming in?

0

167.768 - 177.974 Jeff O'Neill

For starters, you'll blank out and just start tweeting and then try to delete it or something. That's probably what's going to happen.

178.395 - 182.365 Jamie McLennan

And you're also really good on social media.

Chapter 5: How does Rod Brind'Amour view his coaching philosophy?

183.508 - 202.016 Jamie McLennan

I laugh. We can't lose you. People don't understand your sense of humor. I still, to this day, when I mention it, I start laughing. Do you remember when Patrick Kane had an unbelievable game, and you were like, Patrick Kane just made the Canadian Olympic team? You were being a smartass. I thought it was brilliant. I laughed out loud when I read it.

0

202.036 - 205.661 Jamie McLennan

I read your reply, and people were like, he's American, you idiot.

0

205.681 - 207.664 Jeff O'Neill

He's from Buffalo, like Wolf Blitzer.

0

207.644 - 212.733 Jamie McLennan

I thought it was the greatest thing ever. People don't understand your sense of humor. I know.

0

212.853 - 215.658 Unknown

But, Jamie, I just can't do it.

215.738 - 217.12 Jeff O'Neill

We got you.

Chapter 6: What makes a hockey team well-coached according to Brind'Amour?

217.14 - 224.252 Unknown

I'm surprised. You guys know my philosophy on social media. I think you could only tweet if your name and your pic...

0

224.232 - 247.945 Unknown

and what your job is so you're held accountable i'm just tired of the trolls in their basement i can't i didn't think that was ryan burke said it about the nhl i'm saying it about twitter the rats have taken over and is that right just now it wasn't always the case it's always been 15 years hey so i just had a moment but i was stuck in traffic i was stuck in traffic

0

247.925 - 253.774 Unknown

And I just said, I'm too old to even be looking at these donkeys' comments.

0

253.794 - 254.175 Jeff O'Neill

I don't understand.

0

254.195 - 256.178 Unknown

I've got a great life, a great family.

256.839 - 262.007 Jeff O'Neill

I'm a good golfer. I don't need this. Here's the thing. Would you just squeeze in, I'm a great golfer?

262.087 - 263.79 Jamie McLennan

Yes.

264.547 - 266.269 Jeff O'Neill

That's absurd.

266.289 - 272.256 Jamie McLennan

He just ran through his resume. Great wife, kids, career, great golfer.

Chapter 7: What challenges do the Hurricanes face in the upcoming series?

273.177 - 293.54 Jeff O'Neill

Just don't stop there. Keep going. That's why I come up with anything else, Scott. Great hair, great suits. All of it. Got it all. You've got it all going for you. Here's the thing. The large majority of people, you're interacting, you're looking for different commentary based on what we're saying on the air. I think it's great. I don't recall.

0

293.64 - 308.352 Jeff O'Neill

I saw that tweet because I saw you respond to the guy. I don't remember us ever. Like I have said, Toronto is the epicenter of the hockey world, and I believe that, in large part because of minor hockey. And I've said this many times before.

0

Chapter 8: How does the discussion around player accountability shape team dynamics?

308.393 - 325.931 Jeff O'Neill

The greatest minor hockey community in the world is in Toronto. It's not close. Like the amount of people that live in this city and that live in southern Ontario, it's way bigger than Montreal. It's bigger than Vancouver. That's just a reality. The Leafs are on hockey night for a reason, because they get the highest ratings.

0

326.492 - 343.299 Jeff O'Neill

But the Bell Center is second to none, and it always has been and always will be. No, but I'll take it a step further. It is number one. But let's clarify something else. Scotiabank isn't two. The Leafs aren't the second ticket you want to see for a lively event. They're not even in the top ten, probably.

0

343.44 - 353.673 Jamie McLennan

It's a great point you brought that up, because you look at the difference between That Buffalo game, and then you transfer right over the Bell Center within two days.

0

353.833 - 354.414 Jeff O'Neill

Amazing.

0

354.574 - 374.474 Jamie McLennan

Those two buildings, the roofs were coming off. And you're excited about it. And you're right. Scotiabank, now you have to give them something to cheer about. Yes. But we've been there. We've been in the building. Hayes, when's the last time you said this? Was it against Washington when Matthew scored the banker off the glass? I think he tied it late.

374.494 - 376.115 Jeff O'Neill

That was game six late.

376.235 - 382.307 Jamie McLennan

Right. The building can get rocky. You can hear it explode. Let me ask you guys this.

382.327 - 400.905 Unknown

If one of Keith Pelley's missions... God knows, I hope he doesn't have a presser about it, if it is. But is there any chance, Hayes... And you've been going to games since you were a kid, and so have I. Is there any chance... That changing, and I know Shani was brought to his attention.

400.945 - 416.611 Unknown

He tried to do things with the volume of the music, and you're not going outside to blow darts, and whatever it is. Could they ever make it an atmosphere that could enter and venture up into the top ten in the league? Could they ever do it?
