Marley's minute Chris Gallagher love that handle welcome to the team Gallagher's Canyon Galley plenty to get into including a very crazy game three Saturday night against Vegas and Carolina Peter Laviolette the next head coach of the LA Kings which was kind of crazy Mike Babcock we hear Mike Babcock out there in the meantime where do you guys want to start

0

85.148 - 89.413 Justin Bourne

How about the hockey game? I don't know if you saw that on Saturday night. A whole bunch of things happened.

0

89.573 - 90.113 Nick Kypreos

I kind of did.

90.153 - 92.316 Justin Bourne

Your boy Mitch had a bit of a show.

93.056 - 108.473 Nick Kypreos

Is it official? Is he my boy? I know he's never been Sammy's boy. He was never your boy. Is this an official? He's my guy? He's been your guy, pal. Has he won you back at all?

108.773 - 119.886 Justin Bourne

I mean, that's not a fair... Can you just say... Not a fair sheet. That was an unbelievable game. That was unbelievable. That's the best I've ever seen him play. Not even close. Second period of that.

119.906 - 124.992 Sam McKee

Not even close. That's one of the... That's one of the best hockey games I've seen anyone play.

Chapter 2: What dramatic moments occurred in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final?

215.124 - 233.787 Nick Kypreos

But to sit there and say, well, he just choked when he was a leaf or he's no good and there's no pressure there and there's pressure here. I'm not interested in participating in that conversation. You know? I mean, it's just, and you know where I stand. It's all garbage. But do I need to say it again?

0

233.767 - 234.788 Justin Bourne

You sure don't.

0

235.029 - 251.231 Nick Kypreos

You know, Sammy, what do you need to say, buddy, on Marner and Toronto and all of that where you feel like everybody else is talking about it, but nobody's adding anything new to it. There's no new angle. There's no nothing. It's just either you like them or you love them or you hate them.

0

251.431 - 273.306 Sam McKee

I don't know if this is new or not, but the thought I had watching that game where he scored three goals in a period, what, six minutes was his fastest hat trick? I mean, more goals than he ever had in any playoff run here with the Leafs. It's just unbelievable. All the stats stacking up. It's just what confidence can do for a player and seeing one go early.

0

273.326 - 292.339 Sam McKee

Like, he was always this guy in the regular season here. He was brilliant throughout every regular season. And I just... It started early in Vegas for him in terms of the playoffs. It went well early. He was scoring. He was just scoring from the start. It just went well early. And it's just unbelievable how good he's been.

292.359 - 298.906 Nick Kypreos

So there may be something new. He thinks he's a much more confident player than he was when he was with the Leafs. Do you agree with that?

300.428 - 317.659 Justin Bourne

I'll say my new angle on it is this to me, This, to me, came from the international play, from the success he had wearing Team Canada's jersey, being a part of important lines, making big plays in big moments, scoring OT winners, wearing the Canadian jersey and winning four nations.

318.219 - 330.598 Justin Bourne

And I got to believe playing in those most pressure-filled moments, you know, that makes you more comfortable with pressure, right? That builds. So to me, that's a guy that kind of learned his way through this.

331.456 - 353.515 Sam McKee

And, like, on the side of, you know, fans who are... I mean, there's tons of Leaf fans who are Marner fans and that get to rub this in people's faces, and I understand that. But there are certain L's, as the kids would say, certain fat L's in your life that you just almost have to laugh. Like, this is a monumental mistake and just...

Chapter 3: How did Mitch Marner's performance impact the game?

565.048 - 584.787 Nick Kypreos

They were like Edmonton where you're going, are they going to blow it? Were they 500 for the full year? They did not. They weren't very good. And their goaltending was horrific too. And their numbers were probably better than what their record deserved, but they couldn't get a save all season long.

0

584.767 - 598.37 Nick Kypreos

And then Carter Hart just steps up and, you know, it's debatable what you thought of his performance Saturday night. We're certainly going to get into that with Frederick Anderson. But the timing of his big saves, JB, much different than what they probably showed all season long.

0

598.59 - 605.101 Justin Bourne

Yeah. You know, Torch showed a lot of faith in Hart when he showed up, right? He's a guy that he's got a relationship for whatever reason.

0

605.541 - 622.984 Sam McKee

Oh, so just last thing I'll say, I mean, I... This is going to get a lot worse for guys like me. For Leaf fans, because you know the first thing that's going to happen at the Stanley Cup parade, the first thing that's going to happen when they're hammered at a bar and they're wearing, he couldn't get it done in Toronto shirts and all this stuff.

0

623.585 - 635.06 Sam McKee

We are heading into, I mean, Carolina can come back, clearly, but if they win, we're heading into an even worse coronation for anti-Martin Luther fans, and it's going to get tough. It's going to get tough.

635.08 - 645.984 Nick Kypreos

This will live on for generations that you had... one of the most talented players in your history, and you couldn't get him to stay.

646.585 - 653.832 Sam McKee

Totally. I have no fight left in me. There's nothing. It's just a huge L that we all have to eat, unfortunately.

654.092 - 659.417 Nick Kypreos

Was Babe Ruth a Boston Red Sox once upon a time? Does that come up every once in a while?

659.898 - 663.541 Sam McKee

I don't know about that. I would say no.

Chapter 4: What does Mitch Marner's hat trick signify for his career?

936.107 - 937.088 Justin Bourne

Yeah.

0

937.108 - 937.509 Nick Kypreos

All day long.

0

938.049 - 941.133 Justin Bourne

I am with you guys. I just feel like you can't wait.

0

941.314 - 971.663 Nick Kypreos

Freddie's maxed out. Yeah. You've squeezed everything you can out of him. And you just... He is the type of guy, again, going into game four, that you can look up at the scoreboard and you can see two goals on six shots. And... He got a couple of lucky breaks on an offside on the opening goal. But forget about whether or not that's a disallowed goal or not.

0

972.537 - 997.213 Nick Kypreos

That goal that Stone put between his legs on a muffin is the first sign that you, as a Vegas team, go, if that's him tonight, we're good. We're good. And on the opposite side, if you're on the Canes side, you say to yourselves, can we win with that guy in net?

997.814 - 997.954

Mm-hmm.

998.069 - 1020.406 Nick Kypreos

And you can't have that going into game four. Bussey played, to your point, Sammy, well enough. And you too, JB, where you're like, he's fresh. He's got some strut. He came in and played really well. And it's exactly what the team needs. I don't think it's a hard decision at all to go to this guy.

1020.626 - 1024.853 Justin Bourne

Why don't we hear the other Brandon Moore clip on the team's ability to bounce back?

1025.17 - 1045.757 Brendan Moore

There was a lot going on, right? And like I said, I didn't love parts of that game for our group. I know the one thing, they don't ever... We've been in games where we haven't played well. We always find a way to dig ourselves out, always. And so that's kind of happened again here tonight. We just dug a little too big a hole there.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Peter Laviolette's hiring for the LA Kings?

2125.055 - 2132.146 Justin Bourne

I just wish I didn't know the number. I wish I didn't know the number. I wish they were just, you know, in the third round of their interviews or something.

0

2132.427 - 2140.991 Sam McKee

Okay, so we got to nail that on the Pavelski thing because that's been the hot new name. Yeah. Is this like the new thing where everybody's looking for the next Marty St. Louis now?

0

2141.011 - 2144.096 Justin Bourne

It's Copycat League. That's it, it is, right? We like that.

0

2144.336 - 2166.132 Nick Kypreos

Okay, well, first of all, I don't know how much Chyka or Mats know about Joel Pavelski. At least with Marty St. Louis, you know, Jeff Gorton had a relationship with him that stemmed back to like New York days. Right, right. That's a big difference on knowing somebody and having a feel for somebody.

0

2166.834 - 2177.314 Nick Kypreos

I don't know where their feel is that Joe Pavelski can come out from never coaching in his life and then going into this market in Toronto.

2177.294 - 2182.279 Justin Bourne

We said about David Carl, who's been a head coach for a long time and had a lot of success.

2182.299 - 2183.12 Nick Kypreos

College kids.

2183.14 - 2185.182 Justin Bourne

I know, but he's been a head coach, Kip.

2185.442 - 2188.005 Nick Kypreos

I know. No, no, he's up on Joe.

Chapter 6: How does the coaching market affect the Leafs' search for a new head coach?

2470.323 - 2493.407 Nick Kypreos

You don't know how to win. It's much different than loser. There's winners and non-winners. But that's what it would do for him and a few others is like, you know, I'm not saying that, you know, you've got to leg up when you go into training camp over Austin or Willie, but, like, buddy, come to me. Come to the old.

0

2493.808 - 2496.592 Justin Bourne

Did Willie win a Calder? Calder? No. No, I don't think he's on the team.

0

2496.612 - 2500.898 Nick Kypreos

Was he? Was he part of that? Let me check. When I was there. I think he got called up by Ben.

0

2500.918 - 2505.505 Justin Bourne

We went five rounds over two years when I was there with Willie. Like, he played deep, but I don't know that he was there.

0

2505.525 - 2509.632 Nick Kypreos

Like, Easton is going to go into that room and say, let me show you how it's done. I know how to win.

2509.832 - 2514.895 Justin Bourne

No, he's not, because they're going to trade him and someone else for. No, they're not. What's his name? Larkin.

2515.236 - 2519.884 Sam McKee

Now, I mean, realistically... He's got 13 points in 17 playoff games for the Marlies.

2519.904 - 2522.729 Nick Kypreos

It's great. More importantly, I saw him punch somebody in the head.

2522.749 - 2530.784 Sam McKee

Oh, I loved it. Light him up, kid. Akimov has a 923 save percentage. Made 39 saves and a 2-1 win yesterday for the Marlies. Marlies minute, boys. All right, Larkin.

Chapter 7: What are the potential candidates for the Leafs' head coaching position?

2783.123 - 2786.337 Justin Bourne

I get such a kick out of Babs. I think he's great for the league.

0

2786.899 - 2793.387 Nick Kypreos

Tell me where they wouldn't go to Joel Quenville, but they'll now go to Mike Babcock?

0

2794.328 - 2801.597 Justin Bourne

What do you mean? Oh, Edmonton wouldn't go to Quenville? I didn't know that was a thing. They went to Stan Bowman. What's the difference than Quenville?

0

2801.617 - 2823.472 Nick Kypreos

I don't know. I don't know. But that's the guy that you needed if you were really interested in getting a real head coach there. Mike Babcock is just... I don't know. Do you think Quenville's a better coach than Babcock? Joel was available. Definitely. Joel was available. Oh, Joel, come on. Joel's not anywhere near Mike Babcock's stories. There's no stories.

0

2823.492 - 2836.607 Justin Bourne

No, Mike Babcock's ego is the issue. I think he's a great coach. I think his ego is absurd, but I get a kick out of it. The whole phones thing in Columbus is a punchline and invasion of privacy.

2836.627 - 2837.628 Nick Kypreos

That's just the cherry on top.

2837.728 - 2838.97 Justin Bourne

It is. Oh, yeah.

2838.99 - 2839.871 Nick Kypreos

That's just the cherry.

2839.931 - 2855.886 Justin Bourne

To me, I was with... The Leafs org when Babs was there and he had us showing pictures from our phone up on a screen. What he did was across the line not justifying it. But I don't think it's beyond bringing him back in the league when you bring back in this guy, that guy, this guy, that guy.
