Chapter 1: What fundraising event is STPN participating in this June?

0.031 - 18.839 Adam Wylde

STPN. Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm going to I'm going to struggle a little bit. I'm going to struggle a little bit, but you're going to have to bear with me. STPN is proud to once again be a part of the 5K fundraiser this June in support of the Get Real movement. You're fine on Wednesday. I know. You know what? I sat next to Steve and he's like, hey, it's allergies. It's allergies.

18.959 - 37.601 Adam Wylde

I'm starting to think it was not. It wasn't allergies. And it came on quick. Holy moly. But listen, we would love your support for Get Real. Click here to donate. Well, by here, I mean, click on the link in the description to donate. The script says, click here. It's going great. Yeah, it's a good start. It's a good start. I got lozenges though. Maddie beforehand was like, do you need lozenges?

0

37.621 - 41.985 Adam Wylde

I was like, no, I think I'm okay. And she went and got them. She might be right. Anyway, let's start the show.

The Steve Dangle Podcast with your hosts, Steve Dangle, Adam Wilde, and Jesse Blake. Let's go!

0

57.237 - 80.447 Adam Wylde

Actually, just fine, thank you. Just fine, thank you. You sound great. Okay, now. Steve, you did a lot of talking last night. Uh-huh. Not as much as you, apparently. You and Jess are going to have to do a lot of talking today. Uh-huh. Oh, no. I want to start with the third period comeback. Man. The third period. Honestly, I was sitting on my couch, and I'm thinking, this series is over.

81.088 - 95.989 Adam Wylde

Oh, same. There's no life on this Carolina team at all. And through, what was it? Five and a half, six periods? Or five and a half periods, we had seen no life. I mean, I know we've seen some goals in the first game, but like, come on.

96.01 - 99.879 Jesse Blake

Stankoven's first goal, I think, was in the 50th minute.

100.581 - 102.024 Adam Wylde

Yeah. Right around the 10.

102.486 - 133.077 Jesse Blake

Yeah. Now. I think a few things can be true at once. Carolina had what should have been an excellent first period. Right before Stankhoven scored the goal, whoever was carrying it in the States, ESPN, I guess, they had a graphic on the screen, and it was scoring chances by period. For Carolina, it was 11-1-1 up to that point. Yeah.

Chapter 2: What are the key highlights from the Carolina vs. Vegas game?

178.086 - 194.87 Adam Wylde

And, you know, it's amazing because, you know, that's been the line that Carolina has relied on so much in these playoffs, right? Mm-hmm. But what I thought was interesting, and obviously I'm jumping ahead a little bit, is they finally got somebody who has kind of let them down offensively to score at the end of the game.

0

194.91 - 216.038 Adam Wylde

And I think that's the part where, you know, what we're talking about today... Which one? Well, what we're talking about today is a heck of a lot different if those guys don't score. But I want to talk about... You know, Carolina ties it up and then the challenge. And we're going straight there. I think we should start. I mean, that's the game, is it not?

0

216.459 - 237.126 Steve Dangle

A little bit more flowers for Stankoven because the play he makes on Rasmus Andersen is just purely an individual effort. It's unassisted for a reason. That's one guy who is the smallest man on the ice. He's 5'8", Seth Jarvis' next highest or next lowest, I guess, on the team at 5'10". So he's even two inches shorter than the next guy on the team.

0

237.146 - 240.29 Adam Wylde

Do you think he likes us mentioning it every time we talk about it?

0

240.69 - 264.2 Steve Dangle

It's a part of his game. And there he goes against the 6'1 defenseman, Anderson, who hasn't had a great... Oh my God, he's here. Yo, we gotta... I want... Put a pin in that. We gotta talk Rasmus Anderson. And it's just one guy putting the whole team on his back to spur a comeback. Like, it's a really special moment for him. And I think if... Carolina ends up winning it.

264.441 - 282.825 Steve Dangle

That's the turning point of the entire series. It's that single goal, because if they don't get that goal, if he doesn't, it's not even the goal. If he doesn't make the play to go after that puck all by himself, like a dog looking for a treat that's stuck somewhere. Yeah, they lose this game. And I think the series is over.

282.805 - 296.407 Jesse Blake

Someone in the chat likened the challenge to the, the one that turned the LA Edmonton series, but you're right. Like what ultimately will turn the series if Carolina ends up coming up on top. Was that goal?

296.527 - 298.35 Steve Dangle

Yeah. And like you said, 10, 20.

298.33 - 324.844 Jesse Blake

uh into into that third period that's serious season is almost over yeah it's it's funny you're going into vegas down oh two you're like okay you're dead yeah you're dead even if you win you can win both games there i still think you're dead yep i agree um and i mean i'm still sticking to my prediction but um uh they uh i completely forgot what i was gonna say this doesn't happen often i completely that's okay i was gonna say

Chapter 3: What were the implications of the Carolina comeback in the playoffs?

741.18 - 742.602 Jesse Blake

What did you think, Adam?

0

742.582 - 750.014 Adam Wylde

And I thought... You thought great goaltending. Well, listen, I wasn't a fan of the first two goals he let in because he had clear sights on both of them.

0

750.034 - 751.096 Jesse Blake

Especially the first one.

0

751.256 - 753.059 Adam Wylde

I was like, oh my God, Freddie.

0

753.099 - 757.347 Jesse Blake

The second one, that's a beautiful goal. The first one, I'm like, make us safe.

757.367 - 779.601 Adam Wylde

And to be fair, on the second goal, he also has Slavin trying to get the puck off the carrier, right? So you'd think between the two of them, they'll get... Yeah, the first one was brutal. This one... is just a goalie kind of out of position, diving across, jumping on the puck. And I don't understand why it is such a big deal, whether it was goaltender interference or not.

779.842 - 781.347 Adam Wylde

The play was blown dead.

782.137 - 788.465 Steve Dangle

So, okay, so that's not true because if it was, then they wouldn't have been able to challenge for goalie interference.

788.485 - 794.213 Jesse Blake

This is where it's weird. And has the NHL released anything on this? Yeah.

Chapter 4: What recent trades involving the Leafs and Canadiens are being discussed?

900.859 - 911.949 Adam Wylde

John made the challenge because he said, he goes, I have the best penalty kill in the league right now. And I'm facing one of the worst power plays in the league. And that's why I feel at Liberty to do this. It's a, 100% it is.

0

912.309 - 918.436 Jesse Blake

It was emotional, but I think it was also a justifiable risk. And you know I'm not a huge fan of Torts.

0

918.456 - 924.001 Adam Wylde

Okay, but is that coming from his video staff upstairs or is that coming from Torts' brain?

0

924.121 - 924.842 Jesse Blake

That's what I'd like to know.

0

924.862 - 926.384 Adam Wylde

That's why you have a video staff upstairs.

926.404 - 951.136 Jesse Blake

That's what I'd like to know. I imagine it was chaos on the bench. So I will say this. Vegas looked incredibly composed and Jordan Stahl, Had a great quote post-game. He's like, you know, they're a really patient team, but they're human. Yep. Right? This was a human sequence, I thought. Like, they were composed, composed, composed. Okay, you allow a goal. Okay, you allow a second goal.

951.957 - 961.011 Jesse Blake

And then the human element comes into it. So, Torts is emotional. We know that. Could this goal have counted?

961.292 - 961.352

No.

961.973 - 963.716 Jesse Blake

I don't know. I think so.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Larkin wanting out of Detroit?

3404.633 - 3414.247 Adam Wylde

I don't. Like nurse. Was it nurse for McMahon and Ekman Larson or something like that? I'd have been like, what are you doing? So whatever it was, maybe it was a good thing. Keith was in the room.

0

3414.447 - 3417.311 Jesse Blake

Here's the difference between true living and Chica.

0

3417.451 - 3418.773 Adam Wylde

Yeah.

0

3418.793 - 3427.458 Jesse Blake

With true living. I was like, I don't know what he's going to do. And with Chayka, I'm like, I don't know what he's going to do. Do you see the difference? Yeah, there's some hope in that. Ooh.

0

3427.739 - 3427.96 Unknown

Yeah.

3428.12 - 3432.315 Jesse Blake

What if things work out okay? There wasn't any of that a few months ago.

3432.856 - 3453.644 Adam Wylde

3468.261 - 3497.25 Adam Wylde

But you have you have a dad. You have a dad, though.

Chapter 6: How does the conversation shift to the Chicago Blackhawks?

3595.918 - 3617.707 Adam Wylde

And I I get the I get the anger. I get the frustration. There's one person to blame in this scenario. And John Tortorella, let me four or four seconds into the well, that's I mean, listen. Listen, one of my- He's efficient. One of my favorite interviews. Yeah. No, you got to get to the shit. You got to get to it. Come on.

0

3617.747 - 3639.622 Adam Wylde

Now, first off, Jesse, there's a link in the prep I want you to show everybody. Okay. That one there, the one I've highlighted. I want to say something. The one that it says Steve Eisenman and it's just an X through it. The failed Iser plan. You turning on Larkin, you're turning on the wrong person. The the contract extension talks in 2023 were not fun.

0

3640.203 - 3653.893 Adam Wylde

And it's funny because Steve Eisenman was on Agent Provocateur and he was a phenomenal interview. Like he was really, really interesting. And he and Alan sort of touched on how things got kind of bad with Duran and Tampa and how they.

0

3653.873 - 3671.848 Adam Wylde

They were not happy with each other and I think probably had a cooling off period, but ultimately, you know, came back and, you know, are friendly and work together and that sort of thing. I don't know that Larkin's relationship with the Red Wings that they're suggesting that it's never just never quite been the same.

0

3672.47 - 3686.063 Jesse Blake

I also wonder, I wonder, like Olympian, gold medalist, captain. I wonder if some of these guys who have signed long deals, and I think he has five years left.

3686.123 - 3691.368 Adam Wylde

Yeah, it's seven, or no, 8.7. 8.7. Oh, it's great. Oh, my God.

3691.748 - 3704.923 Jesse Blake

Sometimes I wonder if some of these guys are like, I fucked up. Oh, yeah. I fucked up. I shouldn't have done that. Because that like the Red Wings should be able to command a king's ransom for this player. Does he have?

3705.284 - 3725.832 Steve Dangle

He has full no trade. So they will not. And a part of Elliott Freeman's report when he originally reported that Dylan Larkin wants out of Detroit was that he's unhappy with the losing and that his relationship with Steve Eisenman is frosty. Yeah, they do not have a good relationship right now. And Pat Brisson and Larkin are comfortable being like, we want to move on. Can you show them the picture?

3725.812 - 3726.974 Steve Dangle

Yes, you wanted to bring this up.

Chapter 7: What trades and strategies are discussed for the Blackhawks?

3797.542 - 3816.657 Jesse Blake

I said this. I said this before. And I'll say it again. Like they could win the cup this year. And I think at the first sign of trouble, they'll be happy to throw Mark Stone in the garbage. Oh, yeah. That's the Vegas Golden Knights, man. That's what they do. They'll throw him in the garbage like they never knew him. Yeah. Thanks for the memories.

0

3816.857 - 3835.924 Steve Dangle

Which part of the Larkin stuff do you want to start on? Because there's the Detroit. They've made the playoffs for 10 years. Yep. He made the playoffs in his rookie season. Yep. And then he hasn't been in the playoffs since. Do you want to talk about the mess that they're in now that they're going to lose their first line center? Or is it more interesting where he could land?

0

3836.09 - 3846.126 Adam Wylde

Well, let's talk about Detroit first. Let me ask you this. If I'd asked you on Monday, and I think I have said this on the show, who in the Atlantic Division is not trying to win next year? Not trying to make the playoffs?

0

3846.146 - 3847.468 Jesse Blake

Literally every team is trying to win.

0

3847.488 - 3866.724 Adam Wylde

Who in the Atlantic Division, if they miss the playoffs, where it isn't going to be a disaster? All of them. All of them. I think Detroit's just changed. Because I don't think you're going to get fair value back as we've seen. I mean, listen, I want to say Vancouver did pretty well on the Quinn Hughes thing. I don't know if Quinn even had, did he have partial?

3866.744 - 3867.987 Adam Wylde

I don't even know if he had trade protection.

3868.187 - 3870.913 Jesse Blake

I, all things considered, I think they did pretty well.

3870.933 - 3871.494 Adam Wylde

They did pretty well.

3872.055 - 3872.155

Yeah.

Chapter 8: What are the potential outcomes for the Blackhawks in the upcoming season?

3978.94 - 3983.644 Jesse Blake

Yeah. Way better. Everyone should be tripping over themselves to trade this.

0

3983.664 - 3990.831 Adam Wylde

I think. Or trade for this. If you're the Toronto Maple Leafs, Jesse, if that's true, and you know there's some stuff about him not wanting to play in Canada, this is where you use Austin.

0
0

3991.778 - 4011.086 Adam Wylde

Austin, we're going to need you to put straight up sales pitch. No, I'm kidding. Sales pitch because that's a guy we're spending some assets on. And I know that they got to fix the defense, but we need a second line center here eventually. Yeah. And John, I love John Tavares. I like him at third line center. I like him on the wing. I think you need a top three, one through three in the centers.

0

4011.346 - 4034.314 Adam Wylde

Like you look at all the teams that are left. They all have it. They all have great sentiment. And yeah, I know Caroline. I know Aja's been a little bit off or whatever. He was great last night. Yeah, that you're going to need when somebody falters, somebody else can pick it up. And I just don't know that... I don't know how Detroit can't do well on this. It's just what's their timeline now.

4034.514 - 4036.058 Adam Wylde

Right. We talk about the mess, Jesse.

4036.479 - 4039.626 Jesse Blake

I call Larkin Carlson system.

4039.646 - 4059.128 Steve Dangle

Yeah. Stupid or doubt or doubt. Yeah. Yeah. Cause that's, that's the important thing. It's, How do you can do well because Larkin's a really good player and somebody is going to pay for that. Right. But the teams that he's going to want to go to are going to be contenders and they're not just going to give you NHL assets for this player because they're trying to be good right now.

4059.148 - 4075.354 Steve Dangle

And he has a full no trade. So he gets to dictate where he wants to go. So if you're Detroit, you've missed the playoffs. You have the longest playoff drought in the entire league. And now it looks like you got to sell this for futures to get the best deal here. How do you sell this?
