Who are the hosts of The Hockey Show?
Welcome to the Hockey Show. My name is Roy Bellamy. David Dwork is right here. He works for the Hockey News. Ethan is in that chair right there. And Rosie is on vacation. Steen.
She deserves that. Well, she's supposed to be Steen, but she's on the chat. She's watching the show. Because she loves us.
I don't see why, but she loves us. We have ESPN reporter Emily Kaplan on the show. And she will talk to us about the trade deadline and what's going on. In the NHL, if you want to watch that, for those who are watching on the DraftKings Network, you can see the interview on YouTube for the Levitar Show page. You can find our show on the Hockey Show Playlist folder. Yeah, there's a lot of hockey shows in the playlist. Yeah, I counted. There was 55 in that folder. I can't believe we've done 55. That's crazy. That's a lot. That's a lot. So let's get started. Let's drop the puck and talk about the news that the Florida Panthers have been in this week. And it's been a long week. A little bit of news. Yeah, a little bit of news. Good and bad.
What was the reaction to Brad Marchand joining the Panthers?
Let's start with the good. Brad Marchand is a Florida Panther now. And I swear to goodness, it's just weird to me. First, the news. We're at the practice facility waiting for Bill Zito. And then that news happened.
3.15.
Yeah, nothing. That's crazy, man. And then we're hearing.
And then, yeah, we're hearing.
Speculative.
So this was the worst part for me was I had to go get a haircut at 3.30 that day. You got to groom yourself. And my haircut place is in Aventura. So it's about 30 minutes from my house. So I had to leave at 3 o'clock. So I'm watching NHL Network. The clock strikes 3 and nothing happens. I'm like, okay, whatever. I get in my car and I get a text message with Frege's tweet that Brad Marchand is going to Florida. And then an hour and a half unfolds where I don't know what the return is. And one of my friends had sent me a tweet that said Anton Lundell was going to Boston. And so I'm losing my mind. Losing my mind, freaking out, thinking, oh my God, we just traded for an injured Brad Marchand. And we traded, or excuse me, the Panthers traded for an injured Brad Marchand. And they traded Anton Lundell for him. What the hell is going on? Then as it took longer and longer for the return to get out, I'm like... No way they traded Anton Lundell.
Remember our reaction when, because as this is all happening, I'm firing off text messages and I'm trying to find out whatever I can. And I actually got a text from a very good source that said second round pick. And I showed it to Roy. And we looked at each other like, no way.
No, it could not have been.
No chance.
And that's what ended up happening. Sure enough.
Yeah. So my friend that sent me the text is a Tampa fan. He saw a text that said that somebody on TSN reported that it was Lundell on a first. And he was like, it better be Lundell or else this is just highway robbery. And then the details came out and I started taunting him with the fact that it was a conditional second rounder three years from now. And he was not very happy as a Lightning fan, I can tell you that much.
Before we move on, just a quick question. Just going through the timeline of your story. Why does it take you 90 minutes to get a haircut? You have less hair than I do.
It doesn't take me 90 minutes to get a haircut. It's just from the drive to the haircut to the shampoo, the haircut. And you have to go all the way down. And afterwards, still all the way, like after the haircut's over, I still don't know what the trade is. It took like an hour and a half, two hours to have it fully confirmed.
