Chapter 1: What significant event is Joe Bowen being recognized for?

0.031 - 13.509 Steve Dangle

Hey, if you're traveling this spring, this summer, maybe for the playoffs to see your favorite team, we can't relate to that. Maybe you don't want to pay roaming fees. Definitely, actually. Yeah. You know what? Why would I even question it? Maybe. Yeah, no.

0

13.67 - 31.013 Steve Dangle

And also, maybe you want your information encrypted so that, you know, sketchy Wi-Fi places, coffee shops, things like that, that you can't really trust because you don't really know. We got Saley for that, too, because they're backed by Nord Security, Nord VPN, all that stuff. And we want to give you a discount because here's the thing. eSIMs are sort of this crazy concept.

Chapter 2: What emotions surrounded Joe Bowen's last game announcement?

426.996 - 428.697 Adam Wylde

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I brought it up. Yeah.

0

428.717 - 434.363 Jesse Blake

But I just couldn't believe it. But if you're a sports bar, let's assume, were some of them sports bars?

0

434.463 - 443.772 Adam Wylde

It was Boston Pizza, Loose Moose, Jack Astor's, went across the street to Kelly's Landing until my very smart friend, Jesse Blake, was like, go to Real Sports, stupid.

0

443.792 - 444.353 Unknown

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0

444.637 - 452.166 Adam Wylde

I just didn't want to walk that far. Oh, that's so much further. Well, yeah. Like a whole city block. I was hot.

452.186 - 457.373 Jesse Blake

You're on the other side of like front street. Yeah. If you're at the Jack Astor's, which is kind of right there.

457.433 - 461.257 Adam Wylde

And I had to cross and go south. And Jesse, I had already gotten my steps in.

461.317 - 466.063 Jesse Blake

It's too much. It's too much. It's just too much.

466.083 - 480.989 Steve Dangle

Lomo cardio. Yeah, I got it in. I want to do also my second shout out. Our second shout out is going to be the Buffalo Sabres, who not only are in the playoffs, but won the effing division. Do you understand?

Chapter 3: How did the Buffalo Sabres achieve their division win?

1368.482 - 1380.456 Steve Dangle

I think he's a very good goalie. He had a good three months, three, four months this year. What happens when you're older? You know, when we wake up now, Stephen, now that we're both 38, you get creaks, right?

0

1380.616 - 1386.102 Adam Wylde

My hotel room has baseball in it. Baseball or lacrosse ball. Don't travel without it.

0

1386.122 - 1391.108 Jesse Blake

That's right. Dylan Larkin, by the way, played 82 games last year and 74 games this year.

0

1391.088 - 1392.27 Adam Wylde

He missed eight games.

0

1393.352 - 1394.233 Jesse Blake

That's not an excuse.

1394.293 - 1397.438 Steve Dangle

I mean, if they win like one of those games, they're in. Or two.

1397.799 - 1400.082 Adam Wylde

Or still in, at least.

1400.463 - 1405.952 Steve Dangle

Yeah. So I don't know. Listen, I was right. But I take no joy in it.

1407.454 - 1412.883 Unknown

Bullshit! I don't take any joy. I take joy in the Ducks. He's lying to you.

Chapter 4: Do the Philadelphia Flyers stand a chance against the Penguins?

2967.155 - 2967.496 Adam Wylde

Wow.

0

2967.836 - 2968.037 Steve Dangle

Yeah.

0

2968.317 - 2969.659 Adam Wylde

And here they are in the playoffs, man.

0

2969.679 - 2984.597 Steve Dangle

Yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy. Now, here's my question. Do you think that they, honestly, honestly, they're playing with house money, right? You get to the playoffs. You weren't expecting to be there. That's great. You're the last team in the Eastern Conference to clinch.

0

Chapter 5: What has been the impact of Rick Tockett on the Flyers' performance?

2986.265 - 2988.047 Steve Dangle

Do they stand a chance against the Penguins?

0

2988.067 - 3005.527 Adam Wylde

Oh, yeah. You think so? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. They're exactly the kind of team you don't want to play heading into the playoff. Why is that? Well, they're hot. Oh, well, that's... Yeah, okay. They're hot. They're getting goaltending. They had a player join them recently who fits them like a glove. Like, it's no disrespect to Pittsburgh.

0

3005.587 - 3011.734 Adam Wylde

Like, that is... That's checking a lot of boxes in don't want to play you-ville. They're pretty good, man.

0

3012.115 - 3014.978 Steve Dangle

Jesse, what do you think? Do you think they stand a chance, the Philadelphia Flyers?

0

3015.058 - 3017.681 Jesse Blake

100% they stand a chance.

Chapter 6: How did Jonathan Quick's career end and what is his legacy?

3017.701 - 3039.964 Jesse Blake

It's just a matter of how much you believe in the defense that they're playing and the low-scoring, shut-down hockey that they have going. I can give you some of the numbers for the Flyers in their miraculous run because it is truly a coaching marvel, and this thing deserves so much credit. Rick Talkett deserves so much credit for this thing.

0

3039.944 - 3066.034 Jesse Blake

If we look at the power play percentage since February 18th, so from the Olympic break on, the Philadelphia Flyers are 30th in the league in power play. If we look at the penalty kill since the Olympic break, the Philadelphia Flyers are 28th in the league. Disaster. If we look at the shots per game in the league since the Olympic break, the Philadelphia Flyers are 27th. What? Wow.

0

3066.776 - 3074.397 Jesse Blake

If we look at the shots against per game for the Philadelphia Flyers since the Olympic break, they are fifth overall in the league.

0

3075.339 - 3083.442 Adam Wylde

I mean, so we were talking about Lindy Ruff earlier. Based on that, shouldn't it be talk it in a walk?

0

3083.923 - 3101.777 Jesse Blake

Talk it has had the most impressive run of any coach this season. If we're talking just from Olympic break to the end of the season, no coach has had a better run than what he's doing right now with the style of hockey they're playing where we're not going to score.

3101.909 - 3127.377 Jesse Blake

we're gonna maybe allow we don't wanna we don't we don't need it we don't need special teams we're gonna allow a bunch of goals when we're on the penalty kill too we're not even gonna worry about that it's just the other team at five on five isn't gonna get any shots on goal and the puck's not gonna be in the back of our net and we're gonna do just enough to win these games oh oh you like a good narrative there jesse what's that that's playoff style hockey

3128.521 - 3142.542 Jesse Blake

You like a good narrative, Jesse? I don't think that's a bad narrative at all. Because like you said, Rick Tockett deserves a lot of credit. He should get Jack Adams votes. Probably should land second in voting, I think, behind Lindy Ruff.

Chapter 7: What insights do the hosts share about the upcoming playoffs?

3142.703 - 3152.157 Jesse Blake

Or if you want to put John Cooper ahead, I don't care. As long as Lindy Ruff wins it. But from that point on, he's had the most impressive run. But he didn't figure it out the first parts of from October to February.

0

3152.417 - 3153.499 Adam Wylde

It was pretty bad.

0

3153.539 - 3157.465 Jesse Blake

He didn't figure it out. So I can't give him the Jack Adams for that. But if we had a Jack Adams from...

0

3157.445 - 3183.621 Jesse Blake

olympic break onwards he deserves yeah 100 he'll get votes i think he should finish top three we should be more awards please give me funny weird awards let's award the jack adams based on quarter i want it 19th overall in goals for per game and they know they're not even goals against per game goals against is where we see the philadelphia flyers thrive second in the league.

0

3183.862 - 3210.393 Jesse Blake

This is what I'm trying to illustrate with all the numbers. Everything scoring-wise, disaster. Everything defensively, the best in the league. They've only allowed 2.4 goals per game since the Olympic break. If you only allowed 2.4 goals per game, you are bound to win 70% of your hockey. 17 out of 20. I think they're on a 700% point percent. Yeah, that's how you win hockey games.

3210.593 - 3228.171 Jesse Blake

If this translates to the playoffs, Pittsburgh, watch out because that's unbelievable. That's an unbelievable defensive run. That is system. That's guys buying in. That's every hockey cliche about playing defense because they're not scoring, but they're playing enough defense where you don't need to put up a bunch of goals. Porter Morton can come in and score a couple

3228.151 - 3229.012 Jesse Blake

and you're going to win a game.

3229.233 - 3231.396 Adam Wylde

I just can't believe we're talking about the Philadelphia Flyers.

3231.477 - 3233.38 Jesse Blake

Put three goals on the board, the Flyers win the game.
