Chapter 2: What happened during Biz's time in Buffalo?
I'm like, no, I think they're fake pucks. Then I'm like, I wish Darlene grabbed a regulation real puck old school and just ripped one right off your nose. But I did think it looked like it could have hurt because you did fall on the ice with your arms taped to the chair. That didn't look like it felt great.
I think I cocky myself. I felt with my hands tied on this side of my head. And I, yeah, I was, I went black for the quick second, but that's happened probably a hundred times throughout my career. You just called Barrett Jackman, Tim Jackman for 45 minutes. So yeah, you might have a concussion. No, I didn't. When did I, I called him Tim at the end joking.
I think he thought you thought he was Rick Jackman. Then we went into Tim, but it was Barrett, the newest member of the St. Louis Blues Hall of Fame.
Buddy, we brought up Tim Jackman from the time in Pittsburgh. That's why I called him Tim.
No, that's Rick.
Oh, Tim's the one from Calgary.
That's right.
He's definitely conky. He's definitely conky.
He's definitely conky.

Chapter 3: What are the key takeaways from the Sabres game?
And that was a section of St. Samuelsson. They got the big, the big St. Sam's up there. It's one of the top sections all the way to the end in the upper bowl. And then they put the same size biz clown nose. So yeah, they were not, they were not holding back and rightfully so. It was, it was a great night. How did you enjoy being in between the benches?
I know that's the first time you've done it, right? It was fun. So I'm glad you brought that up. Brendan Burke, a guy that I was, he was doing play calling when I was at the East Coast my second season with the Wheeling Nailers. So talk about coming full circle. You got a guy who went from the coast.
He was unreal back then, and he always had a great voice to call play-by-play and obviously very professional in how he prepared. Crazy at the fact, and kind of like we talked about with Bob Heat House, When you go in at the ECHL level, you're booking hotel rooms, you're selling ads.
So very cool to see him start at the bottom and climb his way all the way to the top and then forget to get to do my first game between the benches with him. So that was very special. And obviously like, just like Barrett Jackman making Revo's life easier as a veteran, as you're going to hear in these, um, These interviews coming up, like him and Jody took me under their wing.
So thank you to them. And Jody's obviously a pros pro. And shockingly enough, talking about first, he was my first ever fight when I played with the Phoenix Coyotes. We were in San Jose, buddy. I was scared shitless to fight that guy. Wow. That was my first. Yeah, he's a big dude. Oh, dude. And he caught a rut like halfway through the fight and fell. And I fell on top of him. Thanks a lot.
Oh, God. yes it looks good on camera that's all i needed the guys think i'm actually tough here And then, boom, yoinky, two-year deal. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Thanks a lot, Jody.
People were wondering, Army brought up, like, I wonder what's on his notes. I can let everyone know who are watching on Netflix. This was his note. You know the thing. This was what Biz had on his notes for the game. That's a good one. Will you be doing more in between the benches? And second thing, congrats. Big announcement by TNT. Oh, yeah.
I thought you re-signed last year, but you've re-signed with TNT. Yeah. A couple questions.
It happened in the summer, and I don't know if... Thank you, boys. And once again, that doesn't happen if not for you, and then once again, all the other amazing people at TNT to keep this thing going. Yeah, it happened in the summer. I feel like they thought that was the time to announce it.

Chapter 4: What insights does Barret Jackman share about his career?
Michkov is as good as Celebrini. He's just getting screwed by the coach. I had a legendary. So I just figured everyone would know how sarcastic I was being. I had a legendary NHL player reach out to me and say, you're way, way off on Michkov and Talkit. I said, that's sarcasm. And I didn't get a response. Oh, he didn't respond to you? I had people, you're comparing him to Celebrini?
And then I had people, Flyers fans saying, I know it. Seriously, can you believe this? So sarcasm doesn't work great online.
I think the Flyers locker room caught wind of it and didn't realize you were also being sarcastic. So I had to clarify when I saw him. Oh, really? He was 100% fucking around. Yeah. And once again, this is a young kid who came over from overseas and can barely speak English.
Like I think he's going to figure it out, but regardless of a language barrier, the worth that he's got to want it more than anyone else. And as with said talk, it wants that to happen more than anyone else. Cause that's just going to result in more wins. You look at a guy and you poked fun at it with that sit down with talk. A guy like Trevor Zegres probably isn't a Rick Talkett exact player.
He would say he would want on his team, but he's playing a ton. He's having the best start of his career. He's playing awesome, but he's earned everything. He's earned the trust from talk. He's earned the trust from the other coaching staff. There are certain coaches, especially if your team's in a playoff spot or trying to win, that you have to earn your spot.
Shit ain't just given to you like other people want it or fans want it. But the biggest thing that you guys have said is you're saying this kid, this kid, he's still a kid. He's got time. He's got time to figure it out. No one figures it out in their first year or two. Maybe some do that, you know, the certain unicorns like Celebrini, Sid, you know, these guys, but he's got time.
You got to give him some time to figure out the game, figure out the 82 game schedule, you know, how guys play. So, Don't don't jump off the bandwagon if you are a fan of his, but also, you know, understand that he's got to earn some earn some trust in his coaches and in his teammates, too. Right.
Because you have to have the trust in the guys that you're playing with, that they know what you're going to do. They know where you're going to be. So give him some time on both sides. And you're also going to have to take away ice time for a guy who probably deserves it. Like a guy, like a power play time, like a guy like Trevor's egress, where he has made adjustments to be able to play.
And I'm going to look here, boys, like they are bitching. Have you, have you seen his time on ice averages? Like, I'm going to check it out right now. I bet it's over 12. I mean, I'll give you the last five games, 16 minutes, 16 minutes, 17 minutes, 15 minutes. And the one before that was 13 and a half.

Chapter 5: What roommate stories does Barret Jackman share?
Do we not? It was with Walt's kids. Walt turns around in the corner. Hey, knock it off. The kids pick up their stuff. We'll run back in and play some more mini sticks. Nothing's changed, eh, boys?
No.
That is so cool. No saying. One of the stories we heard from the Ice Guardians podcast that they just posted, literally like five minutes before I came on, I saw it, was the TJ Oshie story and the fact that you were roomed with him. Let's start with that one, but like who were all your roommates like throughout your time there? I started off with Nat Walker.
He was, you know, a good friend of mine and we started off and then my first year was Sean Podine.
Chapter 6: How did Barret Jackman and T.J. Oshie bond as roommates?
I'm just, this is an absolute legend. Great guy. Uh, taught me a lot just about life. Uh, I had Murray Baron for, uh, a short stint and then, uh, yeah, TJ Oshie. He, uh, got in a little trouble a few years ago and maybe missed, uh, you know, mispractice or a meeting. And, um, so I'm like, Hey, you know, let me know the kid who's a roommate and it was the best time ever.
Uh, yeah, the story we were at, uh, you know, but I think it was pregame meal in Columbus, our first road trip together. And, You know, he comes by the table. Hey, Jax, is there anything I could do for you in the room? Fluff through pillow and all that. And so I just told him, I go, hey, you know what? While you're up there, can you just warm up my bed for me?
And, you know, a couple minutes go by. I go up to the room, not thinking anything of it.
Chapter 7: What insights does Barret Jackman provide about mentoring young players?
And all of a sudden... open the door and Osh jumps out of my bed and it was, Hey, I've been doing a snow angels for the last 10 minutes. So, you know, bed's all warm for you. So he's just, and then he did that, you know, every time he got in the room and I wasn't there, he would warm up the bed. And, but, uh, yeah, we had so much fun.
He was, he's like a little brother to me and, you know, I love the guy and, you know, he's, uh, had an amazing career and now just, uh, good to call him my friend. Better than warming up the toilet, eh boys? Oh yeah. The toilet seat.
i think i would have preferred that more than a guy doing snow angels in my bed to be honest but uh that's just me now um you said he got in trouble and you kind of wanted to take him under your wing like what did happen like was he just one of those guys who would forget to set his alarm or uh no i think we're just uh
you know, all the boys were out one night and I think he lost the keys for his car and, you know, maybe his cell phone at the same time. So, uh, couldn't get anywhere. And yeah, he was just a little bit late for practice, but, uh, yeah, the, uh, yeah, it was just, you know, he's, uh, you know, one of my, one of my favorite people and,
Yeah, it was something little, but I felt like I needed some more entertainment in the room. Is that a nickname he gave himself, Osh Babe? I think it was his dad, his coach. But yeah, Osh Babe, you hear him say that all the time, and he brings the energy, and I love having him.
For anyone who doesn't know, at the peak of T.J. Osh's career, how hard he played. He was an animal.

Chapter 8: How does Barret Jackman reflect on his transition from the Blues to the Predators?
He crushed guys. When he got after it, that's how hard he got after it, too. One speed. The time I got to be with him in Brainerd, I'm like, whoa, this is how he plays. Like the Russians.
Yeah. He doesn't do anything half-assed. He's a full send at all times in every part of his life.
an unbelievable family man unbelievable friend and you know just uh just an animal on the ice too another guy that you mentored and you you just were on the father's trip with him uh ryan reeves like what an honor that must have been and how cool is that to get that phone call from a guy that you played with to come on the father's trip with them and before you answer either resemblance with me and revo huh
Do you remember when he fell asleep on the massage table? I love that story. I was just going to ask, and where were you to mentor him there?
Uh, yeah, I think, I don't know if I walked in or I think it was, uh, Bryce Salvador and he goes, who the hell is that on the, uh, on the massage table? And he was just, he was sitting there snoring. I think Reba was hurt at the time. Uh, it wasn't taking part in, in camp.
So, uh, yeah, that was, uh, yeah, he, uh, he gave me that call, you know, I think probably about a month ago and asked me to go on the, uh, on the mentors trip. And, you know, it was an amazing honor. I,
you know i didn't even look at my schedule i'm like yeah you know what i'll make it make it work if you're uh if you're asking so you know another guy is just a huge character i'm coming in tough as nails great person and uh you know he's for a guy to you know stick in the league as long as he has uh being one of the toughest uh year after year and then
adapting his game and getting better every year. So proud of him.
What did that San Jose vibe seem like? Because shocking year they've had. I don't think anyone really expected this unless you talk to the guys in the room. New Celebrity was this good. I mean, good, not this good. That must be a fun team to be around. They're rolling. They got everything going on there. Did you enjoy that time?
