Roy 1:45
Welcome to this week's hockey show. My name is Roy Bellamy. David Dwork of the Hockey News is over here. And for some strange reasons, Rose is in the studio. I don't know why you're here. Hi, Rose.
Rose 1:55
Hi.
Roy 1:56
Welcome to this side of the camera.
Rose 1:57
No, thank you. Thank you. People have been wanting me here, so.
Ethan Podolsky 2:01
There's been an increase in the demand for more Rose content.
Rose 2:05
I don't know why because I don't know anything, but look at me.
Roy 2:09
So more Rose content includes you being in the same studio as us?
Rose 2:15
Yes.
Roy 2:15
So it's a slippery slope.
Rose 2:17
Yeah, it's a slippery slope.
Roy 2:18
Okay, so we have slap shots. I don't know if you have any. Do you have any hot takes? Do you have any wins in a week? Do you have any fails in a week?
Rose 2:26
No, but... Then why are you in the studio? I'm going to show you what things that I have. So go first with your hot takes.
Ethan Podolsky 2:33
Dave, hot take, please. All right. My hot take is look out for the Columbus Blue Jackets. They are a team on a mission right now. Right now, as we record this on Friday morning, they're holding the first wildcard spot in the East. Excuse me. They're 22-17-6. Ethan, what did you say that they were since, was it 10-2-1?
David Samson 2:55
Their last 21 games, they're 17-10-4, I believe, which has them on pace for like an 110-point pace or something ridiculous like that. So since they picked up Dante Favreau off waivers for Nashville, they're playing like an 110-point team. So the switch got flipped with Favreau.
Ethan Podolsky 3:13
Well, they've got the emotional element going with the whole, you know, they're playing for Johnny Goudreau and, you know, the season dedicated to him. They've got Zach Wierenski playing on another planet right now, possibly a Norris Trophy winner. Here's my question to you guys, though, before we move on. Can you name three non-Wierenski Blue Jackets? Because this is a team that has so little star power, it's kind of crazy.
David Samson 3:36
No. Mazurkins. I can do it. Adam Fantilli. Yeah, Fantilli. Cole Sillinger. And Sean Monaghan. Very good. Yeah, you just made up a name.
Ethan Podolsky 3:47
My point is they're doing this with so little big names and everything, and they're still playing well, and they're doing it the right way, and it's just a fun, great story. I'm really enjoying it, and I hope that they can continue this season because who doesn't love a sentimental... The best part is that Johnny Hockey's best friend, Sean Monaghan, is having a great year. Oh, yeah. He's second in the team in scoring, or no, he's third, excuse me, he's behind Marchenko and the ridiculous Zach Rensi, who's actually leading Columbus in scoring, as we said today, from the blue line. This guy's probably going to win the Norris Trophy if he keeps it up.
