94.697 - 101.464 Adam Wylde

Are you ready to be so Jake-a-pilled? It really do be like that right now. But first... What's he gonna do tomorrow?

Chapter 2: What does the hiring of Jim Hiller mean for the Leafs?

101.664 - 121.011 Adam Wylde

Before we get... into any of that. Jesse, should we do the giveaway that I forgot to do last episode? Yeah, well, let's congratulate the people. Can I just say I really screwed up and I'm sorry. This is my bad. You dumbass. Well, it was the end of the playoffs last episode and would have been a perfect opportunity for us to congratulate those who won the playoff pool.

0

120.991 - 141.969

yes so let's start let's start with the giant losers let's start let's start with the people at the bottom yep uh the sdpn folk oh who uh made their picks this postseason okay spark for the bracket challenge important how many people were part of our bracket challenge A lot. A lot. Yes.

0

142.249 - 142.43 Jesse Blake

Good.

0

142.77 - 145.773

I don't have the exact number. I could pull it up, but I don't have it in front of me.

0

145.933 - 149.097 Jesse Blake

I want to know how many people I was better than because my number is large.

150.979 - 173.263

If you had asked me that question a couple of minutes ago, I could have prepared it. I know. My bad. It only occurred to me now. I don't have the total number of people prepared. That's funny. But we'll do this. We're such a good show. Here are the SDPN bracket folk. Drew, Steve, and Jesse are the top three. Boo. Drew finished 527th.

173.623 - 189.068

He had Vegas in the cup final, so he got a lot of points, 181 points total. Steve finished second, 2620th place. I finished third, 3377th place. So that's the top three. That's the podium there.

189.048 - 191.214 Jesse Blake

It's a miracle you got into the ties you did.

191.334 - 200.94

You got into the top 4,000. I nailed the first round. Like, I did really well. And then from there, I was garbage. Except for Edmondson. Except for Edmondson.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the recent trade involving Joseph Wall?

200.96 - 224.654

I think I was like six for eight in the series or something like that. And then from everywhere else, I was garbage. So I was able to stockpile a bunch of points there. And my 97 points was enough to beat everybody else. Because four through eight is Julian, Hayden, Maddie, CJ, and Adam. CJ and Adam tied for 5,644th place. Right at the bottom.

0

224.734 - 230.3 Adam Wylde

Listen, I stuck with my Colorado Avalanche pick, and I don't regret it at all.

0

230.521 - 253.033

So I'm in the top half. Yeah. I think we hit 8. I don't think we hit 10K, but I think it's somewhere in 8. Lord. Yeah, I have to check and pull it up. But that's the SDP on bracket and the standings of everybody here. Drew, Steve, Jesse, Julian, Hayden, Maddie, Chris, and Adam.

0

253.394 - 258.522 Jesse Blake

Beautiful. Drew was the only one to have a cup finalist as his cup pick. So there you go.

0

259.403 - 279.513

Now, the winners. This year, yeah, we announced at the top we were giving away this Alexander Ovechkin hoodie. And it's a very special hoodie because there's only a limited number ever made. Yeah, we have a bunch of beverages on the table. Oh, a few beverages. We showed this off at the beginning of the playoffs. We'll show it off here to congratulate the winner.

280.094 - 307.306

It is one of which number is this one? Oh, you got the addition. So there's only 100 made. This is number 14. That's so great. It's from a local shop in the D.C. area called Major D.C. They collabed with fanatics in the NHL to make this one of 100. Alexander Ovechkin, the greatest score of all time hoodie. So the first place of the bracket challenge will get this.

307.426 - 310.65

Also throw in a McFarlane toy with Ovechkin.

311.711 - 312.632 Steve Dangle

McFarlane doll?

313.172 - 329.136

Yeah, doll. Figure! Figure! Man Child doll. Yeah. I'll throw one of those in. We'll get that shipped out to you and we'll give you a mini stick too. A bunch of prizes you'll get in your box. The congratulations to Tomas. Tomas.

Chapter 4: How does Anthony DeMarco view the Flyers' goaltending situation?

527.597 - 548.767 Adam Wylde

Tomash, yeah. Poor Tomash would have had a very wet Alexander Ovechkin hoodie. But it would have been one of 14, Steve. It would have been unique. Yeah, it would have been. You're right. Oh, my goodness. Unique. Steve peed on this. Anyway, let me ask you a question. If it leaves higher, Jim Hiller. Yeah. Okay. And here's what's happened in Toronto. And I'm noticing this a lot.

0

548.807 - 569.868 Adam Wylde

And this is not going to make me popular, but I don't give a shit. What has happened is people go, oh, that's confusing. And then they go, well, wait a second. Actually, here's why it's great. And when we talk about email Andre, I'm actually excited about the player. I didn't get the trade. Oh, yeah, we haven't done that yet. I'm excited about the player.

0

570.009 - 576.236 Adam Wylde

I'm excited about what he's going to bring. I still have questions about the value in that trade, but we can talk about it.

0
0

577.698 - 602.915 Adam Wylde

Let me ask you this. If John Schalke is not the one hiring Jim Hiller, if today it's Brad Treliving hiring Jim Hiller. You're losing your mind. You're losing your mind. You're losing your mind. But because it's John Chayka, I've already seen people try to tell me, well, this guy's an analytics guy. This guy's a numbers guy. Listen. And hold on, hold on. Let me say this.

602.935 - 603.837 Adam Wylde

And then we'll get into it.

603.857 - 603.957

Okay.

605.084 - 614.156 Adam Wylde

He could be all those things. Uh-huh. And he, oh man, LA was, so they were, they placed this in goals against it five on five last year.

614.577 - 617.12

In the worst fucking division we've ever seen in our fucking lives.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the recent Leafs trades?

4059.126 - 4074.715 Adam Wylde

Well, a Russian won the Hart Trophy. But I'm talking about, or the Ted Lindsay Canadian won that, but, you know, I'm talking about maybe people that do not get the love that they deserve. Okay. And I want your suggestions in the comments, too. Are you guys cool with that? Do a little homework? Very cool.

0

4075.196 - 4080.105 Adam Wylde

Steve will say he's going to do the homework, and then two minutes before the segment, he'll go, shit! And then...

0

4080.085 - 4083.736 Jesse Blake

Maybe I don't got to do my homework because the answer is so obvious to me.

0

4083.817 - 4093.707 Adam Wylde

I already got it. Wow. All right. Well, here we go. So Friday, look out for our 100% Clutch Canadians presented by Moosehead Canadian Lager.

0

Chapter 6: How does Joseph Woll's performance affect his value?

4094.699 - 4113.873 Adam Wylde

Now, by the way, thank you to Anthony for coming on. That was great. I want to talk a little bit about Joseph Wall specifically. And you mentioned it when we were talking with Anthony. It's like, hey, man, you're treating a guy I really like. And that upsets me. Now, from a from a value perspective, like I have had the Internet explain to me why Emil Andre is good.

0

4113.893 - 4133.674 Adam Wylde

And I even texted Scott Wheeler and said, are we going to like Emil Andre? And Scott Wheeler said, you're going to like him. He wrote about him before this trade. He did. And he said, you're going to like him. But I was, I was, I too, he said, I too was underwhelmed by the return. And it does kind of follow the way goaltenders are traded in this league.

0

4134.155 - 4151.2 Adam Wylde

For whatever reason, everybody needs a good goalie. But when a good goalie is available, everybody's like, yeah, you can have a fourth rounder. And it's crazy why the value propositions aren't there. But apparently they're not. They're also jumping the market on like a Bobrovsky or something like that and free agency. So the Leafs are trying to get something out of it.

0

Chapter 7: What are the potential impacts of Hockey Night in Canada ending?

4151.48 - 4154.845 Adam Wylde

They get a useful defenseman, a pick that they could probably use.

0

4154.825 - 4174.32

I think it has to do with a lot of like people don't understand goaltending like the actual head coaches. They rely on the goaltending coaches and goaltenders come out of nowhere so often. Yes, that you don't need to pay for good goaltenders. The goaltender who just won the Stanley Cup was working out at Chipotle. This is his first season starting in the NHL.

0

4174.681 - 4178.267

You don't have to overpay for a goaltender because you might just magic beans one.

0

4178.247 - 4203.681

well and bussy was you're right he was on three teams this year and the first two and nobody knew yeah steve you said this in what was it the the joseph wall video i think no you're like i i sit here and talk about hockey and people are like oh you don't know what you're talking about i was like you don't know what you're talking about you people who work in the game because everybody passed on bussy everyone bussy we worked at a chipotle in the 2000s yeah which

0

4204.1 - 4208.006 Jesse Blake

Again, that's very recent. Sorry, in the 2020s.

4209.309 - 4214.377 Adam Wylde

Again, that does not give me the same spark it gives the two of you. I'm like, yeah, people have summer jobs.

4214.397 - 4219.485

No, but we're just trying to context it for nobody knew that this man should be starting for an NHL team.

4219.505 - 4220.106 Adam Wylde

And that's true.

4220.126 - 4223.412

Because if he was starting for an NHL team, he would not be working at this place.

Chapter 8: How will the Leafs navigate their roster changes?

4237.032 - 4241.158

The Leafs chose Caden. He told the story last episode about how, yeah, that's how he led to the Hurricanes.

0

4241.178 - 4246.165 Steve Dangle

I don't know! And he was giving people guac and extra charge. I hope so.

0

4246.485 - 4254.756

To get back to your point, the reason that Wolves return I think is a little underwhelming because people in the NHL realize goaltenders come out of nowhere all the time.

0

4254.776 - 4280.069 Adam Wylde

And you know what else they realize, Jess? let's just be honest about Joseph. Well, not a guy you can rely on to be there. And I, I know that that's harsh, but this is a performance industry. Imagine there's three of us on this show. And for whatever reason, one of us can only make it for, what do we do? 140, 150 shows a year. I don't know. What if one of us can only make it for 30 of them?

0

4281.43 - 4285.714 Adam Wylde

40 of them. Yeah. Or 35% of them. However you want to do this.

4286.034 - 4287.055

That's Joseph Wall in Europe.

4287.075 - 4310.11 Adam Wylde

That's Joseph Wall. And, you know, here's where I think it really started to go downhill because the guy's clearly got talent. He's got a lot of talent. And I believe in Joseph Wall's talent. But when he makes that last second save against Boston when they're up multi-goals in game six. It wasn't a save. That was the problem. Okay. Well, whatever. And he's hurt. Hurt. How hurt?

4311.652 - 4330.271 Adam Wylde

I, you know, and no one will remember this press conference, but I remember it vividly. Brad Treliving was furious. And he was furious because he was saying, first off, he basically was like, Samsonov's fucking gone, right? And there was some stuff, I think, with Samsonov behind the scenes that the Leafs were not happy with.

4330.291 - 4336.538 Jesse Blake

Samsonov was as good as he could have been in game seven, and they still... Yeah, but I think that they weren't thrilled with some of the behavior.
