From there, it’s wall-to-wall NHL talk: the Wild power play humming, Jarry vs. Skinner stealing headlines, and the Oilers feeling far from done after Leon Draisaitl hits 1,000 points while McDavid stays nuclear. Buffalo’s playoff optimism gets questioned, and trade rumors swirl around Phillip Danault. We also hit Monday Night Hockey on Prime, Penguins ownership news, injury updates, and why Gavin McKenna is embracing the noise.

107.721 - 122.142 Michael Lewis

0

191.615 - 193.818 Ryan Whitney

We can't tease the potential of it even happening?

0

194.038 - 207.704 Michael Lewis

No, I'm not teasing. But put it this way, everyone who's thinking anything right now, won't be able to think of what is maybe possible. There's a clue. That's the only clue.

0

208.646 - 210.008 Ryan Whitney

Fizz likes being teased.

0

210.61 - 212.233 Michael Lewis

Yeah, he does. He does. And choked.

212.393 - 215.26 Ryan Whitney

Bring out the feathers. Sorry. Bring out the hot candle wax.

215.66 - 220.207 Michael Lewis

Yep. Yep. Yep. Maybe. Yeah. Just pour it all over your chest.

220.368 - 220.668 Ryan Whitney

Yeah.

220.688 - 221.389 Michael Lewis

That's your style.

Chapter 5: What are the key takeaways from the Edmonton Oilers' performance this season?

5337.21 - 5341.495 Michael Lewis

I thought they were a bottom five team in the league. And what has talk done?

0

5341.475 - 5358.943 Ryan Whitney

They're fighting Rick Tockett's unbelievable. And the fact that he gets to play against his old team on prime time, Amazon hockey, baby, that's awesome. Um, you know, a lot of good memories there. One is first Jack Adams. He's a fucking hall of famer. You got to put them in the hall of fame for the full body of work, but, uh,

0

5358.923 - 5379.244 Ryan Whitney

Yeah, interested to watch Zeb William and see how he progresses and continues to help this young Canuck team along. And like you said, man, I think that the Flyers, as they continue, their top three biggest surprises in the league this year, I would say throw the Islanders in the mix, throw the Flyers in the mix, and who else would be your other team, would you say?

0

5379.284 - 5379.864 Unknown

Bruins, maybe?

0

5379.884 - 5382.127 Ryan Whitney

Bruins. Bruins. Bruins.

5382.707 - 5385.37 Unknown

But honestly, you didn't –

5385.35 - 5406.075 Michael Lewis

People didn't expect it, but us knowing talk and the way that he is and the way that he bleeds that black and orange, you knew they were going to have a good turnaround. You knew the guys were going to buy into whatever he says because at the end of the day, the guy did it at an incredible level for so many years with that jersey on, and his word there goes a long way.

5406.292 - 5426.121 Ryan Whitney

Oh, buddy, not only bringing the nostalgia back from the old days, but yeah, there's no fucking around. We talked earlier about, or actually, the interview's coming up because we had to pre-record it, but the gray area, like we talked about with Hitch, there ain't no fucking gray area with talking. He's imposing those defensive systems.

Chapter 6: How is Gavin McKenna adapting to the pressures of being a top prospect?

5426.141 - 5435.456 Ryan Whitney

You're going to check. You're going to play with pace. And it's awesome to see what he's done with Zegers, man. I'm like... I'm happy for that kid. I know we're going to get him on in the next couple weeks.

0

5435.497 - 5449.647 Ryan Whitney

I think we've put the request in, but there were some dark days for him going from that contract negotiation to not playing much to not getting along with his coach out in Anaheim, the one who had the high blood pressure who they got rid of. But it's great to see what he's doing now.

0

5450.15 - 5467.055 Michael Lewis

Yeah, over a point per game. And she said, hey, I'm talking to Flyers. Who do you want to interview? I said, well, I said, Jonesy. I said, we got to chat with Zegers. We haven't seen him in forever. And then Couturier, Konechny, and then DeLaurier would be fun to interview, I think. Oh, yeah. Hopefully, we got some Flyers content coming up soon.

0

5467.135 - 5477.17 Michael Lewis

But another guy that's doing well in the state of Pennsylvania is the head coach of the Penn State hockey team, Gavin McKenna's team, Guy Garowski.

0

5477.15 - 5489.962 Unknown

Guys, real quick, before we send it over to Guy Godowski, we do have a little announcement we got to make. We are going to be at the Penn State-Michigan State outdoor game at Beaver Stadium at the end of January.

Chapter 7: What insights does Guy Gadowsky share about coaching in college hockey?

5490.022 - 5505.857 Unknown

So very excited. We have a ton of stuff planned. I think we're planning a potential little party. We're going to be doing some big interviews. But most importantly, we're going to be at the outdoor game. So very excited. But we can send it away to Coach Godowski.

0

5587.926 - 5593.675 Ryan Whitney

I got to know, did you put your teeth in for the Game Notes interview or did you take your teeth out for that one as well?

0

5593.655 - 5603.995 Grant Harvey

For the game, you know what? Whenever John says that I can take him out, I do because I lisp with him in. So this is the one he said, hey, it's fit and trick. This is the one you definitely can take out.

0

5604.015 - 5604.616 Michael Lewis

You know you're big time when you have a teeth guy as an assistant that tells you when you can have it.

5611.109 - 5615.157 Ryan Whitney

Does he hold it? Does he hold the flipper? He will now.

5615.137 - 5619.782 Michael Lewis

Why haven't you gotten the permanents in? Just because in practice you might catch one?
