Who is Tyler Kennedy and what is his connection to the Stanley Cup?
Pomp is here, and so is Stanley Cup champion Tyler Kennedy. Kennedy, Kennedy. I still love that. Don't you, Tyler? I love that song.
I didn't hear it enough when I played, but yeah. You like our theme song? Yeah, I love it. It gets you going in the morning.
It gets a little pop. Yeah. Who was in charge of the music when you guys played in the locker room?
I think Joe Vitale.
Joe Vitale. What kind of music did he like?
You know, usually they give it to, like, a young guy, and he's got a lot of direction from the veteran guys. Like, usually after, say, we played Friday night, in the morning we would play, like, country, soft music in the morning, and then before games it would be all, you know, pump up, rap, this and that.
Pump-up music. So a team-wide pump-up, or do you have your headphones on before a game getting pumped? Oh, team.
What role does music play in a hockey team's locker room?
You've got to get that locker room buzzing inside.
Who's the best dancer in your group?
I don't know if anyone was good dancers. Everyone worked really hard on the dance floor. I'm not sure if anyone was that good at dancing. Bob is. I know. I've seen him.
Yeah.
I wish I can dance. I wish I can like.
Sure you can. It's inside. Why don't we do it more often? Look what you've overcome as a hockey. You had to go over and above everything, and you did it because you practiced, and you could do that. Why don't we dance more often? When me and my wife go out dancing, which is once every four years approximately, we have fun. It's fun. When we go to a wedding and we dance, we have fun. Mentally, it's healthy everywhere. Yes. So why don't you and I do that?
Why don't we do it?
A couple's double dancing date and go out and do that. There's a place right by my house that does that. Invite us, Bob, and we'll go.
You can show up anytime. All right.
I'll get a date for you, a day that makes sense. What kind of dancing? country line they can do like if you really like the latin grind which is a interesting dance yeah it sounds like i'd like it um why not when when are you not in a good mood when you're dancing right tyler even at a wedding i know you get up on the dance floor at weddings after a few pops yeah i need a couple pops i need more than a couple i need to be like 10 but you're on there and you're having fun yeah i always say no one works harder on the dance floor than tk No one works hard. No one circles the wagons more than Tyler Kennedy when it comes to the dance floor. Limits, how are you today? I'm doing well, guys.
Why is dancing important for team morale and bonding?
It looks like you got a haircut. I did not. I got it about two weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago now. But I'm rocking with a mustache just for today that might be going away after hearing what TK had to say about it. He's Stash Boy this week.
He can say a lot of things, just not on air right now. But I don't know. You got a girlfriend? You don't have a girlfriend, right?
No.
That's starting to make sense.
Oh, wow. That's already a sore subject. That's a shot from the blue line.
You got to keep it tight, dude. You got to keep it tight.
I agree, limits. A little tighter would do you wonders. Are we going out to dinner? No, your hair looks great. First of all, I don't like it that flat. He's got the thickness there. He should prop it up.
What about his mustache, Bob?
The mustache, I have to see it. Be honest. No, I can't tell right now. I'd have to see when it gets... It was not meant to be something that stayed for more than 24 hours. I don't see a mustache.
It's beginning to look a lot like... Turn sideways. Turn sideways so you can see a little bit.
It's like Sid's playoff beard. You can't even see it. No, I mean, it'll go away when I get home.
No, you got to keep it now. You got to keep it for a month and just see what the response is.
You started the process. Let it go. I did that once in the summer when Skeens came up. Yeah. I had a mustache for about two months. Remember, Joe? No. It was a hit. I would keep going. Yeah, of course you forgot about it, but yeah, I thought it was a hit. Yeah, I'd keep going if I were you. I think I gave myself a concussion last night. I'm dead serious.
