Who are the hosts and guests on The Hockey Show?
Welcome to the Hockey Show. My name is Roy Bellamy. David Dwork's right here. He's from the Hockey News. Rosie is in the seat. And Ethan is in Montreal. Yeah, we're going to chisel him out of his hotel up there in a few minutes. Yeah, he's on ice right now. And Dan Burke from Prime Monday Night Hockey joins us here. And we're going to get started with our Snapshots.
What are the hot takes on John Gibson's impact on the NHL playoffs?
What's your hot take? My hot take is... I don't know how hot it is, Adnan, but I think it's kind of common sense as we talk about at this point. But I think that John Gibson, goaltender for the Anaheim Ducks, soon to be goaltender for somebody else. He is going to have a ginormous impact on the Stanley Cup playoffs this year is my hot take. I don't know where he ends up. He's talked about wanting to go to Carolina and Edmonton, which obviously two of the top contenders would make sense. John Gibson and Edmonton scares the bejesus out of me because he's so consistent offensively. I don't know if it would work there because I don't know if Stu Skinner is ready to give up his crease or if they do that.
But John Gibson is going to have a major impact on the playoffs within the next month or so. That is my hot take. Adnan, do you agree?
Yeah, I'm with you, David. I mean, I think the Carolina one was fascinating because I'm with you. I think in Edmonton Skinner, they feel like he's the guy. Whether or not he is or not, we shall see. Obviously, was he able to get the Oilers to come final and lose in seven? But I could see that being rather uneasy if those two are there together. I think throughout the year, we've realized it's a two-goalie system. You don't have great fear of playing 70 games and somebody just, Pick up the scraps. So you do need to have a two-goal system. But then come playoff time, there does have to be an alpha male. And I don't think Gibson would want to be taking the backseat. But Carolina is fascinating because Freddie Anderson's woes and injuries and obviously the fact that they swung for the fences with this rant and trade. They're trying to win right now. And if they get an upgrading goal, then maybe this could be their year. So I'm surprised Gibby's 32. It's funny. I wouldn't have known off the top of my head, but I was thinking about it.
He has been around longer than people realize. And it could be a steadying influence for that Hurricanes team.
What is Roy's opinion on the Four Nations tournament?
Yeah, even at 32, I don't think he's got a lot of wear on those tires. I think especially the last few years, whether it's been injury or whatever, I think he's pretty fresh and he's ready to win. Roy, your hot take?
Yeah, fellas and lady. I'm really starting to think that this Four Nations tournament is not for the cast grab that I thought it was going to be for the NHL. No, it was specifically created. Once again, show Sidney Crosby down our collective throats. I am tired of this shit. I mean, this all started with the injury, the upper body injury that I sustained last week. And it was all, is he going to play? Is he going to play? Is he going to play? And made us wait until, what, the first day of practice to finally determine, yes, I am going to play. After saying, why? I mean, I'm trying to talk here.
Yes, because I agree with you.
Oh, okay. No Sidney Crosby. I thought Rosie was chirping you, but she was giving me a rub.
She always chirps me.
No.
Drop that puck. You're right, because now all I see is Sidney Crosby.
And even Rose is getting sick of Sidney Crosby. Look at this, Roy.
Thank you. Thank you. You're rubbing off. Thank you for being on my side. And the first game, obviously, Sweden versus Canada. It was just three assists, all right? They made it seem like it was the greatest three assists in the history of Canadian hockey.
Yeah, but you had to like the assist in overtime, Roy. The game-winning primary assist, right?
Roy, put some respect to my guy's name here. Sidney Crosby has now won 26 straight games in a Canadian uniform. That includes the Olympics, the World Cup, the World Championship. This and the 2026 Winter Olympics, maybe the last we see Crosby play the best on best. He's won gold medals and championships, the most of any player in this tournament. He's playing with Brad Marshall.
